They could not choose, and none of them were willing to be devoured. However, Su Ming's goal was not to let them choose. He moved, and the three hundred thousand purple galaxies gathered on his body. He turned into a long purple arc that charged towards the invisible barrier at the other end.
The power of the three hundred thousand galaxies allowed Su Ming to move like a hot knife through butter. At the instant he touched the invisible barrier, it let out a bang and shattered. As it shattered to pieces, a white galaxy swiftly spread out from the shattered barrier.
The white Ecang!
In truth, the ten souls of Ecang were not truly equal in power. Among them, black, white, and gray were the strongest, while the remaining seven colors were similar to each other. At the instant Su Ming saw the white light in the galaxy, a glint appeared in his eyes.
When he stepped into the white galaxy, he immediately saw that there were no galaxies in it. This was completely different from the seven-colored Ecang soul. At the center of the galaxy was an old man in white robes. He had his eyes open at that moment, and he was staring at Su Ming calmly.
"I have been waiting for you," the old man in white said faintly. His voice echoed in the galaxy, and there was an ancient and gentle tone to it.
"It doesn't matter whether you are Ecang or a cultivator. The signs of your life are Ecang. It doesn't matter whether you were Ecang in the past or in the future. You … are still Ecang." The old man stood up slowly. His voice was calm, but there was a liking to it that would cause others to be unable to help but like him.
"The ten souls of Ecang have three colors as their main colors, and the seven colors as their support … The white color controls Ecang's kindness, and it controls the changes in the universe. The black color controls Ecang's evil, and it controls the madness of destroying the world. The gray color … is stillness. It is born with the world, and it will perish with the world."
Su Ming's expression remained the same. He stared at the old man in white coldly and took a step forward. The old man did not dodge, and his expression did not even change.
"That is why as long as you are Ecang, it doesn't matter whether you devour us or fuse with us. I hope … that there will come a day when we, Ecang, descend into the universe once more. Since you can do it, then why should I be stingy with my will? It doesn't matter … if you devour me!" The old man smiled faintly. When Su Ming approached him, he slowly closed his eyes.
His actions immediately caused Su Ming's pupils to shrink in a barely noticeable manner. Most of the fragments of Ecang souls he had met previously were violent and did not have high intelligence, but the old man in white that was the white Ecang was completely different.
Su Ming did not speak. As his eyes sparkled, his speed increased exponentially. Once he closed in on the old man in the span of a breath, he lifted his right hand, and a large number of branches instantly spread out from his fingers to charge at the center of the old man's brows.
Immediately, the old man's body started withering right before Su Ming's eyes. A large amount of Ecang's essence of life instantly surged into Su Ming's body. This essence of life surpassed the blue and crimson Su Ming had devoured previously. It was so vast that the purple light in Su Ming's eyes instantly became even brighter.
Yet at the instant Su Ming devoured and absorbed the essence of life from the old man formed by the white Ecang, the old man suddenly opened his eyes. A sinister look appeared in them, and he swiftly formed a seal with his hands before he flung them to the sides.
"If Ecang is illusory, then the universe will be corporeal. If Ecang is corporeal, then the universe will be illusory!" As the old man's voice echoed in the air, the white galaxy where he stood instantly shone with a piercing white light. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, the entire galaxy … turned into a gigantic white Ecang tree at that instant.
That tree existed between being an illusion and having corporeal form. It filled the entire galaxy, or perhaps more accurately speaking … the white galaxy was a part of its body. At that moment, when Ecang revealed itself, it was as if it had devoured Su Ming.
"This person wants to drive a wedge between us. My fellow sect members, do not be deceived by him. I am willing to wipe off my consciousness and self-destruct with him. If I succeed, then one of you will definitely be able to awaken Ecang. If I fail … then all of you will make the same choice as me!" At the instant the old man's voice echoed in all directions, the gigantic white Ecang crumbled with a bang. As it was torn to pieces, it stirred up the power of destruction in its body and swept towards Su Ming, intending to … destroy him as well.
However, at the instant the white Ecang exploded, a wave of purple that surged into the sky swiftly spilled out from its body. As the purple light appeared, a purple Ecang appeared within the white Ecang's body. This scene was just like how Ecang had replaced Sui Chen Zi in the past, and it was born from the universe!
Su Ming's purple Ecang appeared from the white Ecang's destruction. At the instant it appeared, purple and white shone rapidly in the galaxy. At the instant loud booming sounds shook the sky and earth, the white Ecang completely crumbled. Its origin power turned into five parts. One of them fused into Su Ming's body, while the other four seeped through space and charged towards the other four Ecangs.
This scene was equivalent to a repeat of what had happened before. If this continued, then one of the Ecangs would definitely awaken its origin, and the will of the Ecangs would descend once again under its lead.
This was also what Su Ming did not want to happen the most. At that moment, when he saw the four origin powers that belonged to the white Ecang disappear into space and he appeared from the crumbling white Ecang's body, Su Ming's voice reverberated in the one million galaxies with a monstrous killing intent and resolution before it traveled into the hearts of the remaining four Ecangs.
"Whoever snatches the origin power of Ecang that belongs to me will be the next! Let me devour this white Ecang completely, and I will give you a relative amount of time! "As his voice echoed in space, it traveled into the hearts of the black, gray, green, and yellow Ecangs.
The black Ecang was the first to devour the origin power sent by the white Ecang without any hesitation. At the same time, the gray Ecang did the same. The galaxy where they were spread out and became much larger.
However … after a moment of hesitation, the green and yellow Ecangs did not choose to devour the origin power. Instead, they brought forth their power and sent the incoming origin power that belonged to the white Ecang out of the galaxy where they were. Soon after, the origin power shone in the galaxy where they belonged, letting Su Ming know of their will.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He sucked in a deep breath, and the two white Ecang's origin power that had been sent out were immediately absorbed. Su Ming threw his head back and roared. As purple light filled his entire body, the galaxy where he was spread out from the previous three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand.
"Black, gray, you're just asking for death!" Purple light shone in Su Ming's eyes. He ignored the yellow and green Ecang's galaxies and took a swift step towards the invisible barrier where the other two galaxies were.
"Devour them. There are still four of us remaining. As long as I can last until the end, then I will definitely be the one to take the initiative to awaken Ecang. By then, even if I still can't fight against purple, I can still protect myself." The green Ecang's eyes shone in the green galaxy. It noticed that once it devoured a part of the blue and orange Ecang's origin power, its intelligence seemed to have been enlightened.
The yellow Ecang had the same thought.
Su Ming was so quick that he instantly rammed his fist against the invisible barrier. As it crumbled, the black light from the galaxy shot out. A low roar reverberated in space, and a fist stretched out from the crack in the barrier to crash against Su Ming's right hand.
With a bang, the fist in the black galaxy tumbled backwards to reveal an old man in black robes. His face was filled with killing intent, and as he retreated, he came to a halt and rushed towards Su Ming again.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. With a cold harrumph, he took a step forward.
"Urk!" The old man who was the black Ecang threw his head back and roared. Immediately, the black galaxy where he was turned into a gigantic black Ecang, and as if it was collapsing, it fell towards Su Ming.
"Urk!" Su Ming roared as well. The four hundred thousand purple galaxies around him turned into purple Ecangs, and they fell with the same posture. The two Ecangs crashed into each other in the galaxy. Booming sounds surged into the heavens, and the invisible barrier connecting the black galaxy in the distance also let out booming sounds at that moment.
Amidst the booming sounds, it was as if someone was continuously striking the barrier behind him in an attempt to walk out. Clearly, the galaxy that belonged to the gray Ecang was behind the invisible barrier.
"Ecang!" A large amount of essence of life flowed out of the mouth of the old man who was the black Ecang. This was not blood, but the power of its essence. During the previous collision, it was absolutely not Su Ming's opponent. At that moment, as it roared, all the leaves on the black Ecang's tree crown around it started trembling. As they shot out, they turned into a windstorm formed by black leaves that charged towards Su Ming with a howl.
"Ecang," Su Ming said faintly. He knew the same divine ability!
The purple Ecang turned around, and an endless amount of purple leaves fell from its body. They turned into a vortex and charged forward. Booming sounds reverberated in the air again, and the old man who was the black Ecang coughed up a large amount of essence of life again. As it fell backwards, the invisible barrier behind it crumbled with a bang. A large amount of gray light spread out from within, and an old man dressed in a long gray robe walked out.
Once it appeared, it did not look towards Su Ming. Instead, it charged towards the black old man. Understanding and resolution appeared in the black old man's eyes. He gritted his teeth and did not dodge, simply allowing the old man in gray to close in on him. When the old man pushed his palm against the top of his skull, the old man's body shattered with a bang. A vast amount of origin power, essence of life, turned into fog, and when the old man in gray sucked it in, it fused into his body.
At the same time, Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He lifted his hands, took a few brisk steps forward, then swung his palms forward. He straightened his arms and swiftly brought them together before him. This combined attack stirred up a violent gust of wind in the galaxy. It howled, and its presence shook the heavens. This was the combined attack formed by Su Ming fusing with the power of the four hundred thousand purple galaxies, which was why the wind that was stirred up was also purple.
That wind charged forward, and in the blink of an eye, it blew against the origin power, essence of life, that belonged to the black Ecang, which the old man in gray was absorbing. It blew away that fog like origin power and scattered it behind the old man in gray.
Su Ming did not hesitate when he delivered this attack. Its effect was also incredibly important, because it caused the old man in gray to be unable to help but freeze in his absorption and fusion.
