Once Su Ming said those words, the area instantly fell silent. The ten million cultivators on the platforms around the area immediately looked towards Su Ming and Bei Bang.
Bei Bang frowned for a moment before he spoke flatly.
"Dynast Dao Kong, since you were not injured during the challenge, then you are not within my range of healing."
Su Ming's expression remained the same. He no longer spoke, but since he had already remembered Sect Elder Bei Bang's words of "Do you understand?" and also remembered the people who had mocked him the most, he would naturally not let the matter rest.
Old Bei Bang's expression was slightly sour. He swung his arm and said in a low voice, "The challenges will continue!"
Once he said those words, there was a short period of silence in the area before someone immediately issued another challenge. However, the person they challenged was no longer Su Ming, but someone else.
There were quite a number of people who had such thoughts, and because of it, a completely different scene appeared on Su Ming's lotus platform. No one came to challenge him. Instead, not only did the number of challengers not decrease, the number of people who came to challenge him also increased.
Even Dao Lin and Dao Fa's lotus platforms had a few challengers appearing at that moment. As for Su Ming's lotus platform, besides him, there was no one else.
This scene lasted for about an hour. Suddenly, the lotus platform where Su Ming was shone, and the first challenger appeared. It was a middle-aged man dressed in a long robe made of sackcloth. His expression was incredibly solemn, and at the instant he appeared, some of the people in the crowd who had been paying attention to this place immediately recognized him.
"Dao Yun, he's the one who came to challenge Dynast Dao Kong!"
"He stopped at the ninth stage in the third Striking Lands, and he was previously known as the person with the highest possibility of clearing the third Striking Lands. It's said that his level of cultivation is unfathomable!"
"This is what a battle between powerful warriors should be like. Looks like the next challengers from Dynast Dao Kong are all influential people in Morning Dao Sect."
The discussions in the area outside buzzed, and the middle-aged man wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards Su Ming.
"I am Dao Yun. I did not come here to challenge you, Dynast. I only came here to spar against you. Your Highness, please grant me your teachings." As he spoke, his cultivation base immediately spread out. It was … the power of someone who was already half a step into Mastery Realm and surpassed those who had attained great completion in Solar Kalpa Realm.
As his cultivation base spread out, a brilliant light shone in his eyes. He lifted his right hand, and a dark cloud appeared above his head. As lightning roared in it, the dark cloud distorted and turned into a huge shield. When it stood erect in front of him, he took a step forward, and the cloud shield charged towards Su Ming with a bang.
With a bang, Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung it forward. Immediately, a large number of falling stones appeared out of thin air before him. As they fell, booming sounds continuously rang in the air, and they crashed into the incoming shield.
The shield immediately trembled and shattered into pieces. Just at this moment, a purplish-black light appeared on the middle-aged man's face. He opened his mouth and inhaled, immediately sucking in all of the clouds into his orifices.
Then, even his eyes shone with a purple-black light. He opened his mouth and let out a shocking roar.
"Dark Cloud!" As the middle-aged man roared, waves of purple fog gushed out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. A large amount of purple fog erupted from all parts of his body, and the man's blood essence was also in it.
Once the fog appeared, it turned into a gigantic black fog giant around the middle-aged man. It took a huge step forward and charged towards Su Ming with loud booming sounds.
The middle-aged man who had released this divine ability was as thin as a skeleton at that moment. Once he sat down weakly, he closed his eyes, and dark light shone at the center of his brows. With this method of remote control, he controlled the fog giant to rush towards Su Ming.
The middle-aged man's level of cultivation had yet to reach Mastery Realm, but the giant of fog formed by the divine ability he released had the power of those in Mastery Realm erupt from him. When it took a step forward, it instantly closed in on Su Ming, lifted its right hand, and pushed its palm towards him.
The air was torn apart, and a destructive power erupted from the fog giant's palm, as if it wanted to destroy Su Ming's body and soul in an instant.
Su Ming's expression was calm. Almost at the instant the fog giant closed in on him, he lifted his right hand and hurled a punch at it. He did not use his cultivation base, but only the strongest punch he could deliver with his physical body.
With a bang, the fog giant shuddered and crumbled. A large amount of fog tumbled backwards, and the middle-aged man coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body was immediately seized by the ghostly hand formed by the fog, and he was swiftly forced out of the lotus platform.
"Thank you for not killing me, Your Highness. I will naturally repay this kindness. If Your Highness opens the hall, I will definitely enter." The thin middle-aged man's face was pale, but resolve appeared in his eyes. It was as if his battle against Su Ming had allowed him to understand something. At that moment, he bowed deeply towards Su Ming and left swiftly.
Once he left, Su Ming narrowed his eyes and suddenly coughed up a huge mouthful of blood. His face turned slightly pale, and he looked at Bei Bang, the old man in Life Realm, who had an incredibly dark expression on his face.
Su Ming might not have spoken, but most of the ten million cultivators in the area immediately understood what he meant. Previously, Bei Bang had refused to provide Su Ming with life force to heal his wounds because he had not been injured during the challenge, but now … while Su Ming's actions might have seemed incredibly fake, it was indeed blood, and it could be said that he had been injured during the challenge.
Bei Bang's expression was dark. After some time, he let out a cold harrumph and lifted his right foot to stomp on the ground. Immediately, a gentle white light appeared on the lotus platform where Su Ming was. It shone a few times, and Su Ming instantly sensed a vast amount of life force surging into his body from the lotus platform.
His injuries recovered slightly in an instant, but his life force swiftly disappeared. The degree of his recovery was only enough to replenish the blood Su Ming had coughed out. It did not heal his other injuries. Su Ming's expression was calm, but he was laughing coldly in his heart.
His goal was simple. The old man in Life Realm had spoken arrogantly and even said that with his level of cultivation, he could provide endless amounts of life force to heal his wounds. Then what Su Ming wanted to do was to suck the old man dry.
'It's been a long time since I've fought to my heart's content.' A hint of fighting spirit shone in Su Ming's eyes. He waited quietly. He had not killed Dao Yun because he wanted the powerful warriors from Morning Dao Sect who had the right to challenge him to challenge him so that he could fight to his heart's content.
After a moment, the weather on the lotus platform where Su Ming was immediately changed, and a figure appeared in a flash.
"I am Chi Ling Wei, a member of the Salu Tribe. I am in the initial stage of Mastery Realm. Please grant me your teachings, Your Highness." When the cold voice rang out, the figure gained corporeal form. It was a young man. He was tall and slender, and his back was straight. He was dressed in a green robe, and he stood there like a pine tree. His eyes were like lightning, and his gaze was like a blade as he looked at Su Ming.
His appearance immediately caused the ten million cultivators in the world outside to stir up a commotion again. At that moment, most of them were no longer paying attention to the other Dynasts. Instead, all their gazes were on Su Ming's lotus platform. After all, compared to the other places, it did not matter whether it was the challenger or the one being challenged, Su Ming's platform was the most dazzling.
"Chi Ling Wei, the strongest prodigy of the Salu Tribe in the past ten thousand years. He successfully cleared the third Striking Lands, but stopped at the fourth stage of the fourth Striking Lands!"
"This person has always been cold and focused on training. He has already reached Mastery Realm, and even when he fought against the Immortals' Union, he shone brilliantly. He is known as one of the thirty-six Almighties of this generation in Morning Dao Sect in the past ten thousand years. It's said that he is ranked thirteenth by the Immortals' Union, and with just a little more, he will be able to enter the top ten!"
"That's right. Even Dao Lin and Dao Fa aren't ranked among the Dynasts …"
Su Ming's eyes lit up. This was the first person he had met among all the challengers in Morning Dao Sect who had completely stepped into Mastery Realm. By the looks of it, it had not been long since he reached that stage and had just stabilized his power. He had not reached the level of Flame Fiends' Progenitor, but he was not too far away from it.
Once he finished speaking, a freezing glare shone in Chi Ling Wei's eyes. He lifted his hands and formed a seal before pointing at Su Ming's feet.
"Heavy!" Once he said those words, a powerful falling force immediately appeared around Su Ming's body. It was as if pairs of invisible hands had stretched out from the ground and seized his body, intending to drag him to the ground.
Su Ming shook his head.
"Your level of cultivation isn't enough for you to challenge me. You didn't come here to challenge me. Whether you can gain an epiphany will depend on your serendipity." As Su Ming shook his head, he lifted his right foot and stomped on the ground. With it, the ground let out a bang, and the gravitational force instantly shattered. Chi Ling Wei shuddered, and an expression that he had expected this to happen appeared in his eyes. He staggered a few steps backwards, and his Qi and blood tumbled about in his body. He felt numb.
"I have learned my lesson. Your Highness, if you have any requests in the future, you only need to say one word." After a breath, he recovered, and excitement appeared in his eyes. He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed deeply towards Su Ming. Then, without any hesitation, he left the lotus platform and charged into the distance.
From Dao Yun to Ling Chi Wei, both of them left behind goodwill and their willingness to join Su Ming's palace. Once their words traveled into the world outside, they instantly stirred up a commotion among the ten million cultivators in the area.
It was also at that moment that a long arc charged forth from the galaxy beyond the three upper, middle, and lower Realms of Morning Dao Sect at an extreme speed. It was one of the hundred something Relocation spots that could be used to Relocation Points to enter Morning Dao Sect.
Within that long arc was an old man. His level of cultivation was so great that the mighty pressure spreading out from him was that of those who had attained great completion in Solar Kalpa Realm. At that moment, his face was pale, but he was not injured. However, there was a look in his eyes, as if he had been shocked by something, and his heart was trembling.
He was the person the tanned old man, one of the three Sect Masters, had sent to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. At that moment … he had returned, and he brought back a piece of news regarding Su Ming that made the old man tremble. It was news regarding True Sacred Yin World that would definitely shock the entire Morning Dao Sect. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me.
