At the instant the old man knelt down and worshiped Su Ming, the area sank into dead silence once again. All gazes gathered on Su Ming at that moment. Their gazes were filled with extreme disbelief and shock, as well as deep shock. At that moment, all the people's minds were blank, and a loud bang surged into the sky.
It was as if there was one sentence echoing continuously in all their minds at that moment.
"That person … is Dynast Dao Kong!" It was these words that echoed countless times in the hearts of the ten million cultivators in the area. It was a thunderous roar that echoed in the hearts of the ten million cultivators.
The words of the old man who had returned from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, his expression, his trembling body, and the lingering fear in his eyes proved that he was not lying. He had mentioned Progenitor Long Hai and Reverend Zi Long from the Fourth True World, which made it even harder for him to exaggerate anything.
Yet the more he did so, the greater the shock he brought to the ten million cultivators in the area. The tanned old man's face was pale at that moment. Even though he was a powerful warrior, his mind was blank at that moment. The only thing he could not stop was the picture of a True World being destroyed from forming in his mind.
The other two Sect Masters by his side were the same.
As for Bei Bang, his breathing quickened at that moment. When he looked at Su Ming, his expression changed rapidly, and for a period of time, he found himself unable to say a single word.
Su Ming's expression remained calm. The news of True Sacred Yin World's garrison in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence had been destroyed would spread through the four Great True Worlds, and Su Ming had been prepared for this since a long time ago.
It did not matter to him even if it spread out right then. Even if it did not, the people who came from True Sacred Yin World during the Anointment Ceremony would still come with a monstrous rage.
To Su Ming, it did not matter whether the others learned of it sooner or later.
At that moment, when the area was silent, Su Ming's gaze was indifferent. He swept his gaze past the nine Dynasts on the lotus platform before him. At that moment, their faces were stark pale, and their expressions were blank, as if they had yet to recover from their shock. After all … what Su Ming had done was enough to shock and even terrify any cultivator.
At the instant Su Ming's gaze landed on the nine people, their bodies shuddered, and they instantly felt their skin crawl. It was as if Su Ming had been a wounded old man with one foot in the grave just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he had turned into an ancient ferocious spirit. The strength of this change caused the nine people to shudder. Without any hesitation, they retreated simultaneously, intending to leave the lotus platform.
"Didn't you want to challenge me? Why are you leaving so quickly?" Su Ming asked faintly and took a step forward. Just as he was about to attack, old Bei Bang's expression changed drastically. He moved forward, and with his power in Life Realm, he appeared on Su Ming's lotus platform with a bang. He stood between Su Ming and the nine retreating Dynasts.
"Dynast Dao Kong, don't be rash. It is forbidden for Dynasts to fight against each other during the Anointment Ceremony." Once Bei Bang said those words, he felt slightly anguished in his heart. He could already imagine that Dao Kong would definitely mock him for what had happened just now. He sighed in his heart. He knew that he had indeed been slightly biased in this matter.
However, he did not expect that Dao Kong … would be so powerful in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. This sort of style was definitely not something an ordinary cultivator could do. In fact, even Bei Bang would find it difficult to do such a thing. Destroying an entire World and harvesting all lives … At that moment, Bei Bang suddenly had a feeling that there was definitely an unimaginable amount of vengeful souls around Dao Kong.
Su Ming cast a cold glance at old Bei Bang. He did not say any mocking words that would allow Bei Bang to prepare himself, but instead spoke flatly.
"Have these nine people kneel down and call me 'Dynast Dao Kong' three times, and I will pretend that this never happened."
When Bei Bang heard these words, for some unknown reason, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Su Ming gave him an unfathomable feeling. Even if Dao Kong appeared to be heavily injured, he could still destroy an entire World in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. This sort of person was definitely not to be underestimated even if he was heavily injured.
The calmness in Su Ming's eyes made Bei Bang even more wary when he saw it. Once he heard Su Ming's words, he immediately turned around and swung his arm.
"The nine of you broke the rules first! Kneel down now!"
When Bei Bang said those words, five of the nine Dynasts immediately knelt down without any hesitation while shuddering. Two of the remaining four hesitated for a moment, but soon chose to kneel down.
The only two who remained were Dao Lin and Dao Fa. As their expressions contorted, blood trickled out of the corners of Dao Lin's mouth. Clearly, he had gritted his teeth so hard that they were crushed. Without a single word, he lowered his head and knelt down. The humiliation of this matter instantly shattered all his pride. When he knelt down, he did not just kneel down to his body, but also his soul, his dignity, and his pride.
The last to stand was Dao Fa. He was a seemingly gentle middle-aged man, but at that moment, the gentleness on his face had long since disappeared. It had turned into a malicious gaze, and he glared at Su Ming with his back straight.
"Fa Er, kneel down and apologize to Dynast Dao Kong!" The tanned old man's expression changed. As he shouted, he was about to take a step forward.
But almost at the instant he lifted his foot, Su Ming lifted his right hand. The Life Inequity Spear moved forward, and with a bang, it was flung out of his hand. It drew a long arc in the air and charged towards Dao Fa.
At the instant Su Ming threw the Life Inequity Spear, a cold and aloof voice tumbled out of his mouth.
"Zhu You Cai."
To all the people, this was clearly a name. At the instant they did not know why Su Ming had said this name, Bei Bang lifted his right hand. Just as he was about to grab the Life Inequity Spear Su Ming had thrown at him, his body jolted, and his lifted right hand froze in midair.
A powerful sense of danger instantly filled his entire body. He could clearly sense a killing intent coming from the air and locking down on him. This was the divine sense of a person whose level of cultivation was clearly higher than his and was nearly in Death Realm. If he did anything rash, then a thunderous strike would come crashing down on him.
During that instant, Bei Bang immediately remembered the words the people who returned from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence had said about Su Ming's follower in Life Realm.
At the instant his body froze, the Life Inequity Spear shot past him with a bang and charged towards Dao Fa. Dao Fa roared, and the tanned old man charged forward, but they were not faster than the Life Inequity Spear. When a shocking bang reverberated in the air, the tanned old man threw his head back and let out a pained roar.
Dao Fa's body was immediately torn to pieces. As blood gushed out, his soul and Nascent Divinity were also shattered. Once the Life Inequity Spear pierced through him, his body and soul were destroyed.
All of this might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it happened in an instant. Blood gushed out and landed on the eight Dynasts who had chosen to kneel down, causing them to shudder. Even Dao Lin's face turned pale and bloodless.
"Dao Kong, how dare you kill my Fa Er?!" As the tanned old man roared with a twisted expression, he turned his head around and glared at Su Ming. A large amount of blood capillaries appeared in his eyes.
"Not only would I dare to kill your Fa Er, if you continue acting so arrogantly, I will even kill you right here and now. You're just a cultivator in Fate Realm, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?!" In the face of the tanned old man's roars, Su Ming answered him calmly.
His words were like a bucket of cold water that instantly poured over the old man's head. As his body trembled, he was forced to quell the monstrous rage in his heart. He remembered everything he had heard about Su Ming in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. He was a terrifying existence who could destroy an entire Expanse Cosmos, and he remembered how Bei Bang had lifted his right hand as if he wanted to stop Su Ming, but had come to an abrupt halt, and his expression had changed.
However, this anger and the grief in his heart could not be suppressed so easily. However, when he saw Su Ming's aloof gaze, he forced down the killing intent in his heart again. He suddenly came to a realization. If he attacked, it would be the same as him breaking the rules of the sect. Then, Su Ming could have his follower kill him.
The tanned old man coughed up a mouthful of blood. This was an internal injury formed after he forced down the madness in his heart. It was not a serious injury, but at that moment, his heart was filled with grievance and depression. This sort of feeling was something he had never felt ever since he became a sect master.
"Dynast Dao Kong."
"Dynast Dao Kong."
"Dynast Dao Kong." The eight Dynasts kneeling on the ground, including Dao Lin, all lowered their heads and repeated those three sentences to Su Ming.
Their dignity had been completely trampled on. Their pride as Dynasts had been trampled under Su Ming's foot, and once he stomped on it a few times, he crushed it to pieces.
The grievance and humiliation that came from the depths of their hearts and the submission due to fear of death were even worse than if they were killed … but sometimes, even if they knew that once they knelt down, they might no longer have any prestige left in their lives, but to survive, they still had to kneel down in humiliation.
This was Su Ming's goal. He could choose not to kill these eight people, but he wanted to destroy their right to be Dynasts in an unseen manner. This was something Su Ming had done, and it was exactly what the tanned old man had wanted to do.
This scene was seen by all the cultivators in the area. For a period of time, Su Ming's presence reached the level of a storm that swept out in all directions, turning into the deepest memory of all the cultivators in the area.
"Senior Bei Bang, based on your previous words, please heal my injuries." Su Ming's gaze was calm. He sat down cross-legged on the lotus platform, and when he closed his eyes, he immediately circulated his cultivation base and absorbed a large amount of life force from the platform.
Bei Bang's expression was dark, but the intimidating presence that came from the air was still around him. In silence, he sighed in his heart. Su Ming did not bother him. He had not stopped the other Dynasts from challenging him just now, and that was already giving him face. As he sighed in his heart, he immediately spread out his cultivation base, and the life force Su Ming absorbed swiftly increased. (To be continued.
