Zhu You Cai's expression changed. He did not have time to dodge. At that moment, a freezing glare appeared in his eyes, but he did not dodge. Instead, he closed his eyes, and the power of his cultivation base erupted from his body to crash head-on into the incoming hand.
With a bang, the hand shuddered. Zhu You Cai coughed up blood, and like a kite with its string snapped, he crashed into the shattered stones in the distance with a bang. His entire body withered rapidly, and his fat body instantly turned into a skeleton.
It was as if all his life force had been taken away by the hand at that instant. At that moment, the hand formed by the powder shone with a gentle light, and flesh and blood swiftly grew on it.
"Endless life, huh … Such nourishment is a small supplement for me." A hoarse voice echoed in the air, and a chilling glare suddenly shone in Zhu You Cai's eyes.
"The Dao of Longevity. My will can be born, and my will … can explode!"
Once he said those words, the old voice that echoed in the air immediately stopped. At the same time, the hand formed by the powder shuddered in midair, and the flesh and blood growing on it immediately exploded with a bang.
At the instant it exploded and a cold sneer appeared on Zhu You Cai's face, a furious roar echoed in the air.
"Dao of Life Inequity! You're Hong Yue's descendant! You're his disciple! "
At the instant that voice appeared, Zhu You Cai's body suddenly started trembling. His eyes went wide as he stared at the crumbling hand. The only thing that echoed in his ears were the words spoken — Dao of Life Inequity!
What he executed was the Dao of Longevity taught to him by his Master, Hong Yue. As for Life Inequity, it was something he had said in his heart after he lost his lover. Yet right then, the strange existence from the Reng Wu Clan had actually said that this Art was the Dao of Life Inequity. The shock it brought to Zhu You Cai caused him to sink into a state of confusion. Within that confusion was also deep fear … and the memories of what his Master had done in the past.
"Kill him! We can't let him live! All those who cultivate the Dao of Life Discord must be exterminated! All of them must be exterminated!" A crazed voice spread out in the void, and a large amount of black smoke came out of the hand before it immediately dissipated into the void. At the same time, the Reng Wu Ancestor of this generation charged toward Zhu You Cai.
Zhu You Cai's body trembled, and his eyes were blank.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor stood on a shattered stone in the distance with a dull expression. He was already heavily injured.
At the instant Reng Wus' Progenitor closed in, the gray-haired Su Ming, who had been meditating and had not moved for six months, opened his eyes.
At the instant he opened his eyes, the Life Inequity Spear let out a buzzing sound and turned into a ray of black light that charged towards Su Ming. Once Su Ming got up, he grabbed it, and with a step forward, he stabbed Reng Wu's Progenitor.
"You overestimate yourself!" Reng Wu's Progenitor laughed coldly. He lifted his right hand and swung it at the incoming long spear. In his eyes, if this spear was in Zhu You Cai's hands, it could make him tremble, but in the hands of the person before him, it was like a useless weapon. With a swing of his hand, he could reduce this person to ashes.
Without Zhu You Cai, the boy who had obtained the fifth stone was a piece of trash. He could not even withstand a single blow!
Reng Wu's Progenitor was incredibly confident, but at the instant his hand touched Su Ming's Life Inequity Spear, he shuddered. A vast power that shocked him erupted from the Life Inequity Spear. At the same time, as that power spread out, a layer of sand immediately spread out from the Life Inequity Spear. As it spread out, it instantly turned into a sand palm in front of Reng Wu's Progenitor. With a bang, it pressed down on the center of Reng Wu's Progenitor's brows.
The threat of death instantly rose in Reng Wu's Progenitor's heart. His pupils shrank, and in the midst of his terror, he fell back. At the same time, he let out a shrill call from the depths of his heart.
"Ancestral spirits, protect me!"
When the sand palm touched Reng Wu's Progenitor, his body was instantly torn to pieces with a bang. All of his laws of fate could not put up any sort of resistance before that palm. This was the difference between their Realms. The suppression formed by this difference was something that Reng Wu's Progenitor could not fight against.
His entire body exploded, and at the instant his flesh and blood scattered in all directions, his ancestral spirits did not descend to protect him, because the hand formed by the powder just now was the ancestral spirit of Reng Wu Race.
The spirits of their ancestors' legacies might be powerful, but they had a fatal flaw. This flaw was something that even the four Great True Worlds could only guess. They did not know the specifics … but the four Great Guardians of the Fifth Ocean knew.
Because of that, Dust Burners' Progenitor learned of it, and Su Ming also learned of everything that was carved into the jade slip.
This flaw was that when the Progenitor was at his strongest, he was outside his race. When he was at his weakest, he was outside his race. However, the ancestral spirits of Reng Wu Race rarely ventured out … unless there was something that forced him to do so.
For example, the fifth stone, which had an incredibly strong ripple of power that surpassed what it had in the past, but even so, it could only tempt him. It was still impossible for him to personally venture out.
Unless … there was another Almighty in Life Realm!
The fatal flaw was that during the countless years of silence, the ancestral spirit of Reng Wu Race had lost most of its power. In fact, it only had the most basic will and some of its deepest memories. That was why it needed to replenish its life force every once in a while, and the best way to do so was to devour and absorb an Almighty in Life Realm.
However, it was not that there were no Almighties in Life Realm in Divine Essence Star Ocean, but most of them had already disappeared. Even if they did not disappear, they were like Sand Earthlings' Progenitor and chose to remain in silence. If he tried to devour them forcefully, the effects would not be great. Instead, he would be tainted by the power of Kalpa Realm.
What he needed was a powerful Almighty in Life Realm, but he could not go to the worlds beyond Divine Essence Star Ocean. After all, the source of those worlds was the Reng Wu Race.
That was why the power of Life Realm that Zhu You Cai revealed immediately caused the ancestral spirit of Reng Wu Race to become incredibly greedy, which was why … it had come to Su Ming.
"I've fulfilled my promise to you. You must do what you promised me." Zhu You Cai closed his eyes. When he reopened them, the dazed look in his eyes was buried at the bottom of his heart. When he struggled to stand up from the shattered stones, he looked at Su Ming.
"You discovered it a long time ago?" Su Ming looked at Zhu You Cai.
"I didn't in the beginning, but everything that happened afterward allowed me to see some clues. You used me as bait to lure that person here. This must be the promise you made with the four people from the fifth ocean." When Zhu You Cai said those words flatly, the expression of Flame Fiends' Progenitor in the distance returned to normal. His face was pale, and when he looked at Su Ming, the gray-haired Su Ming gave him a feeling that his schemes were unfathomable, and it terrified him.
"I am an Abyss Builder." Su Ming cast Zhu You Cai a glance and sent a divine thought to him.
Once he said those words, a brilliant light shone in Zhu You Cai's eyes. After a long while, he nodded.
Su Ming turned around and looked at the masked and four people floating in midair in the fifth ocean with an aloof expression. He lifted his right hand and patted his storage bag. Immediately, a jade slip appeared in his hand, and he flung it at the four people.
"Return this." The jade slip had been given to Su Ming by Dust Burners' Progenitor in the past. He had once said that the person with the jade slip could open the path to the Fifth True World in this place without being disturbed.
The person with the Mask of Happiness lifted his right hand and seized the air. The jade slip immediately charged into his hand. Once he held it, he squeezed it gently, and the jade slip was reduced to ashes.
"Sacrifice," the person with the Mask of Happiness said flatly.
"There are thousands of Virtue Rooters, nearly one thousand ferocious beasts in this galaxy, several Almighties, and …" As Su Ming spoke calmly, shrill screams of pain came from behind him. The sand behind him swept outwards, and as violent gusts of wind howled, the powerful existence from the Sand Spirit easily destroyed all the Reng Wus with his power.
Even the three heavily injured Almighties from the Reng Wus could not escape from this disaster.
As the shrill screams echoed in the air, Su Ming's words continued spreading.
"There are also thousands of Reng Wus, three Almighties in Mastery Realm, one Almighty in Fate Realm, and the injured spirit of their ancestors. This is the sacrifice," the gray Su Ming said coldly.
The four masked figures of joy, anger, grief, and resentment in the fifth sea were silent for a moment. Then, they waved their sleeves, and countless specks of light appeared in the area of slaughter. Within those specks of light were numerous discarnate souls. Shockingly, those discarnate souls … were all of the people who had died in this place.
With dazed expressions, they floated towards the fifth ocean. Once they fused into it, the fifth ocean tumbled about and expanded to an area of ten thousand feet before it returned to calm.
The four of them turned around at that moment. Just as they were about to disappear and return to the depths of the fifth ocean to continue completing their mission and continue protecting the place, Su Ming suddenly spoke.
"I request that the remaining half a year be reduced to one day!" When Su Ming said those words, the four people who were about to disappear froze.
"Sacrifice!" The voice from the person with the Mask of Happiness traveled through the air again.
Su Ming's long gray hair changed at that moment. In an instant, it turned crimson red, and a crazed look with the will to destroy appeared in his eyes. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the galaxy. Immediately, the galaxy roared, and the entire fifth ocean started tumbling about again. At the same time, a sea of fire appeared out of nowhere in the galaxy. As it tumbled and spread out, the outline of the fifth kiln appeared in the galaxy.
"Why don't the four of you say another sacrifice?" The red-haired Su Ming's voice had a domineering tone to it. The disdain on his face caused the entire area to tremble.
The gray Su Ming obeyed absolute rationality. He would pay the least price in order to obtain the greatest rewards. This was what it meant … but the red Su Ming was an arrogant, domineering, crazed, and destructive Descender. Before this Su Ming, there was no reason, no principles. There was only … killing intent that would explode at any moment.
With the fifth kiln in his possession, he was an existence that could make even Zhu You Cai's pupils shrink. He was … the strongest person in Divine Essence Star Ocean!
