Reng Wu Race was the most mysterious race among the four great alien races in the core of Divine Essence Star Ocean.
This race had existed for an endless amount of time and had never declined. They had always occupied the position of the strongest race in Divine Essence Star Ocean, and their position had never been shaken.
They had stayed in the core of Divine Essence Star Ocean for a long period of time and fought against countless ferocious beasts, causing powerful warriors to appear in large numbers … and they had also assimilated with the ferocious beasts!
The appearances of their people were almost completely different. Some of them still looked like humans, but some of them had already given up on their human forms and turned into ferocious creatures that were half-human and half-beast.
At that moment, when the Reng Wus appeared in the fifth ocean, Zi Long and the others immediately focused their gazes on them. As they looked over, their expressions changed.
There was not just one Almighty in Mastery Realm among the Reng Wu Race … but three!
Just this alone was enough for Reng Wu Race to become the leader of the four great races. Besides these three people … there was a white-haired old man standing right in front of them. He stood in the air barefooted, and his feet were covered in scales. The rest of his body was no different from a normal person's, but the power he showed was enough to suppress the three Almighties in Mastery Realm behind him.
This person was the current Progenitor of the Reng Wus. His level of cultivation … made it seem like the space around him would occasionally distort. It was as if he could turn laws into laws of fate wherever he stood. Clearly … he was an Almighty in Fate Realm!
However, this was still secondary. The group of Renwu clansmen was surrounded by a faintly discernible pressure. This pressure came from the bloodline of the Renwu clansmen. It was a hidden call.
This summoning was formed from the power of the Reng Wu Race's Progenitors over the countless years. It was a form of protection from their ancestors that allowed them to become the strongest race in Divine Essence Star Ocean.
This protective power was so powerful that it caused Zhu You Cai to open his eyes.
The area was silent. The Reng Wus who had arrived had bloodshot eyes and madness in them, but they stood there without moving. They were incredibly quiet.
The more they behaved this way, the thicker the mighty pressure enveloping the area.
Standing beside Reng Wu's Progenitor was Virtue Rooters' Progenitor. He had a snake's body and a human's head, and his hair was white. At that moment, a sinister look shone in his eyes.
"The ripples of power from the appearance of the fifth stone surpassed all the previous ones, which is why so many people came here. But I won't participate in the fight for this stone … I only want this person's head!" Virtue Rooters' Progenitor lifted his right hand and pointed at Su Ming.
"If not for the fact that this fluctuation is the strongest in history, I would not have come personally." A hoarse voice was slowly emitted from the mouth of the Reng Wu tribe's patriarch.
"Seal the outside world and inform all outsiders that this place … has been occupied by the Reng Wu Clan for the past half a year. Anyone who steps into this place will be killed." A barely noticeable glint appeared in the eyes of the old man from the Reng Wu Tribe. When he spoke faintly, the hundreds of Reng Wu Tribe members behind him immediately retreated without a sound until they were one hundred thousand feet away. They formed an arc, and their bodies shone with a dark light. From afar, they looked like a seal.
"There's no need to do anything. The guardian of the fifth sea has already arrived." A cold smile appeared on the Reng Wu Clan's Patriarch's face. As he spoke, the entire fifth sea suddenly began to churn violently.
As it tumbled, rumbling sounds echoed. This change immediately attracted the attention of Zi Long and the others. When they looked over, they saw the rumbling sounds coming from the fifth sea, and there were four figures rapidly approaching from within.
Behind these four figures were countless long arcs that charged forth and closed in on them.
They were obscured by the sea mist, but as they approached, after a while, Zi Long and the others were able to see their faces clearly, causing their expressions to change drastically.
The four people at the very front were all wearing white masks. Their masks were respectively depicting happiness, anger, grief, and resentment. Behind them, within the large number of rays of light were expressionless people wearing black leather armor.
These people stood on long arcs. As they charged forward, they immediately appeared behind Su Ming and the others.
As Su Ming sat there, he opened his eyes, and a strange light shone within them.
'They're finally here,' Su Ming thought. In truth, at the instant he activated the fifth stone and the long arc shot through the fifth sea, he had sensed the existence of the guardian of the fifth sea in the depths of the long arc.
"Sacrifice!" A voice that no one else could hear echoed in Su Ming's mind at that moment. It was a voice that only those who had the fifth stone could hear — the words of the guardian of the fifth sea.
Once he heard it, Su Ming closed his eyes.
Right then, they had the Reng Wu Clan locking down the area in front of them, and the guardian of the fifth sea behind them. A powerful sense of danger immediately rose in Zi Long and the others' hearts.
It was especially so for the four people in the white masks. Their eyes were aloof, and the ripples of power spreading out from their bodies showed that they were all Almighties in Mastery Realm.
"Hand over the fifth stone, and all of you can leave." The person with the Mask of Happiness spoke faintly in the middle of the bleak and murderous aura in the fifth sea.
When he spoke, the galaxy around him immediately roared. Countless bolts of lightning spread out in all directions, and as he spoke, the area around him turned into a region filled with lightning.
"His words are like thunder!" Zi Long's expression changed again, and he instinctively took a few steps back.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor's face turned pale. By his side, Long Hai's eyes sparkled. He cast a glance at Su Ming, then at Zhu You Cai.
"Freedom might be valuable, and it might be rare to exchange one year for one thousand or ten thousand years, but if I have to use my life as the price, then I will have to make a new choice," Progenitor Long Hai said calmly, then slowly moved back.
"Even if this is a violation of our agreement, just treat it as if I did not fulfill my oath. If you want to shatter the oath, there is nothing I can do." As he spoke, Patriarch Long Hai's body suddenly swept backwards, and he charged towards where the Reng Wu Clan was.
"Progenitor of the Reng Wu Clan, do you still remember me? I was bound by an agreement today, which is why I had to protect this place. Right now, since I no longer have the power to reverse the situation, I hope that Progenitor of the Reng Wu Clan will open the path and let me leave. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future." Progenitor Long Hai wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards the Reng Wu Clan.
A glint appeared in the eyes of the Reng Wu Clan's Progenitor, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"I see, fellow Daoist Long Hai. It's fine. My fellow Daoists, if you want to leave, I will definitely not make things difficult for you. What we want is the fifth stone and the current possessor. As for the others, you can leave." As he spoke, Reng Wu Clan's Progenitor lifted his right hand. Immediately, the people behind him moved to the sides and revealed a path. Progenitor Long Hai rushed over, bowed to them again, then turned into a long arc and charged into the distance through the opened path.
Su Ming's expression did not change even a single bit when he saw Progenitor Long Hai leaving. He still had his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor hesitated for a moment. When he looked towards Su Ming, a conflicted look appeared in his eyes. After a long while, he let out a long sigh. He could imagine that Long Hai had definitely been prepared beforehand, which was why he could be so carefree, but he …
Zi Long was silent. He cast a glance at Su Ming, then at the people behind him. In the end, his gaze stopped on Zhu You Cai for a moment before he lowered his head and bowed towards Su Ming. Without mentioning a single word about the God Ascension Nectar, he turned around and charged towards the Reng Wu Clan.
He, too, chose to give up.
It was not that Zi Long had not considered the possibility that Zhu You Cai could resolve everything if he was here, but when he saw the Reng Wu Clan, his belief was shaken. Others might not know much about the Reng Wu Clan. They only knew that they were mysterious and were the strongest race in Divine Essence Star Ocean.
However, as a member of the four Great True Worlds, their investigations regarding the Reng Wu Clan were very detailed. Zi Long knew clearly that there was a mysterious legacy within the Reng Wu Clan. This legacy could allow the Progenitors of the race to leave behind their Nascent Divinities once they returned to the Barren Lands. Once the Nascent Divinities gathered together, they would form an existence that was like a god.
This existence was the true reason why the four Great True Worlds were wary of them.
The level of cultivation of this existence was the Reng Wu Clan's greatest secret, and everything related to this existence was hidden by the Reng Wu Clan with everything they had.
Only the forces of power from the four Great True Worlds could find out a little about this existence. Based on the analysis of the four Great True Worlds, this existence should have some flaws and limitations, but even so, this existence … could still make the Sublime Paragons of the four Great True Worlds cast sidelong glances at him, and because of that, they would not come to this place and interfere with the race's reproduction.
That was why when Zi Long saw the Reng Wu Clan, his heart was already shaken. When he saw the guardians of the fifth ocean, and especially the four people with the masks of happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness, he no longer had any confidence in Su Ming.
The four people might seem to only be in Mastery Realm, but Zi Long knew that they had existed for a very, very long time. Their happiness, anger, sorrow, and happiness were also passed down through generations.
That was why he chose to leave. The God Ascension Nectar might be important, but compared to his life, it was still secondary.
When Flame Fiends' Progenitor saw Zi Long leaving as well, the conflict in his heart reached its peak, but when he cast a glance at Su Ming again, he gritted his teeth … and did not leave.
At that moment, even Flame Fiends' Progenitor himself did not know what he was thinking. He only felt that since he had been by Su Ming's side in the fifth kiln and witnessed the miracles that shocked him nonstop, he had a vague feeling … that the danger this time … could be resolved.
Just at this moment, the guardian of the fifth sea, the person with the Mask of Happiness, let out a cold snort. His body moved forward, and suddenly, overlapping images appeared on his body. It was as if he had split into a clone.
His real self was still there, but his clone took a step forward and charged towards Flame Fiends' Progenitor while stepping on lightning. A fierce glare shone in Flame Fiends' Progenitor's eyes. Since he had decided to stay, he had made all preparations. At the instant the clone of the person with the Mask of Happiness closed in, Flame Fiends' Progenitor rushed forward, and the two of them immediately engaged in a battle in midair. (To be continued.
