The Fifth True World was activated in the second month of the year.
During that month, booming sounds surged into the sky above the fifth ocean. The sounds of battle reverberated in all directions, and a thick, bloody stench spread out, turning the place into a land of disaster.
Progenitor Long Hai had not returned from the moment he attacked, and it was the same for Flame Fiends' Progenitor. Living beings continued arriving and continued fighting, causing Reverend Zi Long to attack without any hesitation.
Right then, there were only three days left in the second month, but the battles in the place had reached an incredibly intense state.
The person fighting against Reverend Zi Long was a two-headed giant. His power was so great that it was practically equal to Zi Long's. Their divine abilities rumbled in the galaxy, and they were evenly matched.
Besides the man from before, there was also an old woman beside Progenitor Long Hai. As the three of them fought against each other, booming sounds shook the sky and earth.
As for the ferocious beasts and people from other races in Divine Essence Star Ocean, they were fought against by Flame Fiends' Progenitor alone. There were no Almighties among them, but there were quite a number of them in Solar Kalpa Realm. Besides, there were nearly one thousand of them, and only the sea of fire from Flame Fiends' Progenitor could surround them, preventing them from rushing out.
Time passed, and soon, the second month was over. When the third month arrived, the battle in the place reached its peak again. The reason for that was because a group of Virtue Rooters with the bodies of snakes had charged towards them from the galaxy. There were thousands of them, and while the person in the lead was not in Mastery Realm, he was only half a step away from it!
All of his people were incredibly powerful. When they closed in, the sounds of battle surged into the sky.
If they were the only ones, it would have been fine, but almost at the same time the group of Virtue Rooters arrived, two long arcs charged through the galaxy. They were two huge dark turtles.
Those turtles were one thousand feet big, and on their backs sat a man and a woman. The man's skin was green, and there was a red glare in his eyes. A freezing presence spread out from his body. As for the woman, she was incredibly seductive. She did not have many clothes on, and there was an enchanting look on her face that could move people's hearts and souls.
"The fifth ocean is so lively." The woman smiled coquettishly and patted the dark turtle beneath her. The turtle immediately charged forward.
Their approach and the arrival of a large number of Virtue Rooters caused the battle to become completely disadvantageous to Su Ming. Progenitor Long Hai's expression changed, Progenitor Flame's pupils shrank, and Reverend Zi Long frowned. The three of them might not have used their full strength, but even if they did, they would not be able to see hope.
After all, this was only the third month. There were still nine more months to go.
At the instant Zi Long and the other two hesitated, Zhu You Cai, who had remained as calm as Su Ming, opened his eyes, and a hint of calmness appeared in them.
He slowly stood up, and at the instant he did so, a presence that did not match his body at all appeared on his fat body. When that presence spread out, Zhu You Cai closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, he gave off a feeling as if he had become another person. He was like a sharp spear that had been drawn from its sheath, and a sharp will that could shake the sky and earth erupted from him with a bang.
He lifted his right hand and seized the air in Su Ming's direction. Immediately, the Life Inequity Spear in front of Su Ming shuddered and let out a hum that sounded like it was cheering. It flew up and appeared in Zhu You Cai's lifted right palm like a bolt of lightning.
Once he held it, Zhu You Cai's presence rose again. It swept up the galaxy, threw space into chaos, affected the laws, and shook all the people who were fighting beyond the fifth ocean at that moment.
All the people, no matter who they were, felt their hearts tremble violently at that instant. Their cultivation bases also showed signs of weakening, as if they had withered away. In shock, they swiftly looked in the direction where the terrifying ripples of power came from.
As Zhu You Cai held the long spear, his presence erupted from his entire body. He might still be fat, but no matter who looked at him, they would not see a body like this, but a giant who could support the world!
In fact, as the space behind Zhu You Cai distorted, an indistinct figure appeared. That figure belonged to a middle-aged man, a white-haired man with a forlorn face and a heart filled with grief and despair!
At that moment, he was no longer Zhu You Cai … but True Sacred Yin World's War Immortal Chang He!
There were two souls in his body. One of them was Zhu You Cai, and the other was Chang He. These two souls would occasionally fuse together, and at other times, they would separate, but at that moment, Chang He's will stood towering in the universe.
With the long spear in his right hand, Zhu You Cai lifted it in front of him in a seemingly slow manner, then lowered his head and mumbled softly, "What joy is there in living …?"
"What joy is there in living …" Zhu You Cai sighed as he slowly swung the spear in his hand toward the starry sky in front of him.
With it, the galaxy instantly froze. A tear in space tore through space in front of Zhu You Cai, and it traveled slowly into the distance. As it moved forward, the tear grew larger until it eventually turned into a gigantic dimensional crack that was one hundred thousand feet long.
The crack might have seemed to be spreading slowly, but all the matter in the galaxy seemed to have been frozen at that moment. Because of it, this slowness was no longer slow, but an extreme speed in the world!
As it swept through space, the first thing it touched was the two-headed giant who was fighting against Reverend Zi Long. There was shock in the giant's eyes, but he could not dodge it and was enveloped by the crack. Then, the two people fighting against Progenitor Long Hai were also swept through by the crack.
The near one thousand cultivators fighting against Flame Fiends' Progenitor, the thousands of Virtue Rooters who had arrived, and the cold and enchanting man and woman sitting on the dark turtle … all of them had their bodies pierced through by the one hundred thousand feet crack.
When the one hundred thousand feet crack shot through space and disappeared into the horizon, everything in the area seemed to have woken up from its stillness and returned to normal.
But at the instant everything returned to normal, there were no screams of pain or struggles. The body of the two-headed giant in front of Zi Long was torn to pieces. Even his Nascent Divinity could not escape and was reduced to nothingness.
The two people in front of Long Hai met the same fate. The near one thousand living beings fighting against Flame Fiends' Progenitor were no exception. No matter what level of cultivation they had, the thousands of Virtue Rooters were reduced to ashes at that instant.
The man and woman on the dark turtle who had just arrived also became a part of space at the instant the galaxy returned to normal.
It was just like what Zhu You Cai had said previously. What joy is there in living …?
It would be better to die!
The area was in dead silence …
Reverend Zi Long shuddered. He had not expected this to happen in the slightest. It had happened too suddenly. The powerful destructive power had caused Zi Long to be unable to fight back at all. If Long Hai wanted to kill him, then no matter how many of him there were, it would be difficult for him to fight back. He would be reduced to ashes, just like what had happened before his eyes.
"An Almighty in Life Realm! He's indeed the War Immortal Chang He!" Reverend Zi Long's face was pale. When he looked at Zhu You Cai, fear appeared in his eyes.
Progenitor Long Hai was stunned on the spot. Even if he was an Almighty in Mastery Realm, to him, Life Realm was an indescribable Realm. It was a Realm he did not even dare to dream about. After all, Fate Realm was already his greatest desire. As for Life Realm … he had never thought that he would be able to step into it.
To him, the strength of Life Realm was the same as when a cultivator in Qi Refinement Realm saw a cultivator in Nascent Soul Realm.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor shuddered. During that instant just now, he might not have sensed his own death, but he had sensed the terror of the thousands of people beside him instantly losing their life force.
"An Almighty in Life Realm, an Art to reverse life and death … Is … Is this Zhu You Cai?"
"This isn't a normal Life Realm. This is the sign of someone about to step into Death Realm. Only by doing so can he reverse life and death like this!" Reverend Zi Long lifted his head swiftly and looked at Zhu You Cai. A zealous look appeared in his eyes.
Su Ming had long since opened his eyes. When he looked at Zhu You Cai in front of him, he saw the loneliness on the illusory man's face. He saw the sorrow on his face, as well as the loneliness and pain of a dead heart.
He remembered the scenes he had seen when he obtained the Life Inequity Spear.
As the prodigy of True Sacred Yin World, as the disciple of the Sublime Paragon, and as the future Kalpa Lord of True Sacred Yin World, Chang He … could only watch as his lover turned into a medicinal core. When his Master asked him to swallow the medicinal core and step into Death Realm, he chose to fight back and struggle for the first time in his life.
He chose to say no to his Master in a crazed manner!
He was willing to give up on everything in order to redeem everything. If he had to use this method to step into Death Realm … he would rather not!
"What joy is there in living?" Su Ming asked softly.
Zhu You Cai lowered his head, and the presence on his body instantly disappeared. Once he returned to his original self, he let go of the long spear in his hand. It let out a mournful hum and returned to Su Ming, stabbing into the spot where it had originally been stabbed.
Zhu You Cai sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Apathy and fatigue appeared on his face.
There was a sadness that others could not sense very clearly about him. Only Su Ming, who had read his story, could sense it. That sadness … had already fused with his soul.
Zi Long, Hua Yu, and Hua Yu returned quietly and sat down around him. Occasionally, they would look at Zhu You Cai with great respect on their faces.
After a long while, Su Ming closed his eyes again.
Time passed. The third month, the fourth month, and the fifth month passed. No more existences from Divine Essence Star Ocean came to the fifth ocean. It was as if … this place had turned into a forbidden zone.
Due to the bloody stench that filled the fifth ocean and the presence of the dimensional cracks that could not be dispelled, all the people who came to the fifth ocean chose to leave once their expressions changed.
However, when the sixth month arrived, the most mysterious of the Four Great Outsider Clans, the Reng Wu Clan, arrived outside the fifth sea. The Patriarch of the Reng Wu Clan had also arrived … along with an old man from the Virtue Rook Clan, whose scales were rotting and whose hair was white.
They stood about tens of thousands of feet away from Su Ming and the others. When they looked into the distance, a freezing glare shone in their eyes.
"It's been six months. It's about time for the guardians of the fifth ocean to appear."
Su Ming had replenished himself for four consecutive days. Tomorrow was the last day, and he would be done replenishing himself. He suddenly felt very happy, even if the disgusting things he had done on that day made him frustrated.
'But today is my birthday. There's no reason for me to be frustrated. I'm going to celebrate my birthday. Mom is treating me to a meal.
