A shrill scream of pain tumbled out of the mouth of the third prince from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, who was already halfway through the Relocation Rune. His scream was filled with terror and great disbelief.
He could clearly remember that the third prince had been outside the screen of light just a breath ago, and he was already halfway through the Relocation Rune. He was in space, and in just a few more breaths, he would be able to return to the Emperor of Abyss' True World.
All of this happened too quickly. The moment he screamed in pain and disbelief appeared in his mind, he immediately felt as if time was flowing backward before his eyes. His body was grabbed by a power so great that he could not resist it at all. It grabbed the back of his neck and yanked him out of the void created by the Transfer Formation.
At the same time, Su Ming swung his right arm, and immediately, blood-red branches stretched out from his right hand, which had sunk deep into the Relocation Rune. As they spread out, they charged towards Yu Xuan, intending to grab her.
All of this was supposed to be perfect. During the most critical moment, Su Ming retrieved Destiny's right hand, broke the screen of light from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, stopped the arrogant third prince from leaving, and even grabbed Yu Xuan, causing her fate to change due to Su Ming's hand.
All of this should have been …
But …
Fate was unpredictable, and at that moment, due to someone's actions, it changed slightly for Su Ming. Almost at the instant the branches from Su Ming's right hand were about to grab Yu Xuan so that she would not be sent back to the Emperor of Abyss' True World during the Relocation Rune, a power Su Ming was familiar with suddenly descended from the air. With extreme ease, it reached into the tunnel formed by the Relocation Rune where Su Ming's right hand and Yu Xuan were.
That power Su Ming was familiar with did not come to help … but at the instant the branches from Su Ming's right hand touched Yu Xuan, that power spread outwards. A soundless bang rang in the tunnel formed by the Relocation Rune, and a ripple that even Su Ming found difficult to fight against erupted from it.
When the ripple spread out, it caused the branches Su Ming wanted to grab Yu Xuan to tremble and fall backwards, causing Yu Xuan's body to be swept away. In an instant … she fused into space and was Relocated back to the Emperor of Abyss' True World.
"You!!" Su Ming's eyes were bloodshot. Madness erupted violently in his mind. If this power had come from an outsider or the Emperor of Abyss' True World, then while Su Ming would have descended into madness, he would definitely not have been so angry.
His anger could no longer be described with words. Under that anger, the endless resentment in his heart filled his entire body, causing a black vortex to instantly appear around him.
"Nothing will happen to her in the Nether's True World … but she isn't suitable for you." A sigh echoed in space. When it gradually disappeared, Su Ming's roar shook the heavens. The Vermilion Bird's continent let out a bang. As it trembled, the Relocation Rune started showing signs of crumbling. In an instant, it shattered to pieces, but at the same time, the third prince was dragged out by Su Ming.
However … even though he had dragged out the third prince, Yu Xuan … had only turned into an afterimage in Su Ming's memories.
Su Ming shuddered. He lifted his head and stared at the sky. At the same time a broken-hearted smile appeared on his face, he let out a shrill laugh filled with extreme grief and indignation. He mocked the universe, the world, his own bloodline, and himself.
There was an air of despair in that laughter, along with an intense pain that made his heart feel as if it was being torn apart.
The person who had stopped Su Ming from grabbing Yu Xuan was not anyone else … That familiar power … belonged to Su Xuan Yi, who was also Progenitor Dao Chen!
Su Ming laughed broken-heartedly. His expression was ferocious, and his body trembled. Once that extreme madness passed, a will of stillness appeared on his body.
Stillness was something that had appeared on Su Ming before, but it had only formed when he was in Yin Death Region. Then, due to the disappearance of the mask, the will of stillness had also disappeared. At that moment, it appeared again, and besides the gold, crimson, and gray colors in Su Ming's personality, there was also … black!
Black hair and black eyes. This was the exact same as when he had not changed his three personalities, but even though he looked the same … in truth, he had completely changed.
At that moment, Su Ming's stillness was because of an intense pain that made him feel as if his heart was being torn apart, an indescribable rage, and a grief that made him feel as if his heart was being devoured.
"It doesn't suit me …" Su Ming mumbled. He did not roar anymore, neither did he growl. Instead, he stared at the sky, and after a long while, he lowered his head. He still had the third prince of the Emperor of Abyss' True World in his right hand.
The third prince was shuddering at that moment. In his eyes, Su Ming had already turned into the nightmare he feared the most in his life. He instinctively wanted to tell Su Ming who his father was and use his own method to hide his emotions or beg for mercy.
The expressions of Sect Masters Ri, Yue, and Xing changed. Clearly, they had not expected that Su Ming would truly be able to break the screen of light. When they saw the third prince of the Emperor of Abyss' True World in Su Ming's hands, the three of them immediately took a step forward at the same time.
"Dao Kong, don't kill this person!" Sect Master Yue said quickly. The three of them had monstrous power, and when they moved, they instantly closed in on Su Ming, but while they were fast, Su Ming was even faster if he wanted to kill someone.
To the current Su Ming, the third prince was just like an ant. At the instant he lowered his head and Sect Masters Ri, Yue, and Xing closed in on him, Su Ming clenched his right hand tightly.
Immediately, seven waves of ripples instantly surged into the third prince's body.
The first wave instantly shattered all the bones in the third prince's body, and he died from the pain. At the instant the third prince was about to let out a shrill scream of pain, Su Ming pressed his left hand against his mouth and clamped it shut, causing him to be unable to scream and turning it into an even more intense pain.
The second wave crushed all the bones in the third prince's body, making him look as if he had turned into a pile of flesh. If Su Ming had not kept his grip on him and let go, the third prince would have definitely fallen to the ground.
The third, fourth, and fifth waves of ripples tore the third prince's skin, dissolved his flesh, and … evaporated his blood.
The sixth and seventh waves crushed the third prince's soul. His soul was forcefully torn apart, causing him to experience indescribable pain in the short span of a few breaths before he died. Su Ming's left hand continued clamping down on the third prince's mouth, not allowing him to make a single sound. When Su Ming let go … the third prince had disappeared. He had turned into ashes and disappeared from Su Ming's hand.
Su Ming's eyes were dull, and he remained silent. The breathing of the cultivators in the area quickened at that moment. All of their gazes were trained on Su Ming.
After a long while, Su Ming stared at his right hand, and anguish appeared on his face. His right hand could bring forth a power that was infinitesimally close to those who had attained great completion in Life Realm, which was why he could tear apart the trembling screen of light … but even so, he still could not stop the power Su Xuan Yi had spread out. For the second time … he could not stop Yu Xuan's hand.
"It doesn't suit me … What right do you have to say that," Su Ming mumbled. His expression became even duller, but a vast amount of life force spread out from his right hand. It was as if he had been reborn. That presence was incredibly ancient, as if it had been lying dormant for countless years.
Su Ming slowly lifted his foot and walked into the sky. He walked out of the Vermilion Bird's continent. On his way there, he did not even look at his surroundings. He had a place he wanted to go. He wanted to return to True Morning Dao World's isolation grounds and ask Su Xuan Yi why!
Flame Fiends' Progenitor immediately took a few steps back in front of Su Ming. His pupils shrank, and he stared at Su Ming with a hint of fear. He could sense that there was something off about Su Ming at that moment, and he could not afford to provoke him in the slightest. Even if Flame Fiends' Progenitor only looked as if he was moving forward and even if he was Su Ming's follower, he still quickly moved back.
He was not the only one who moved back. The disciples from Morning Dao Sect in the area and the cultivators from True Sacred Yin World also moved aside and opened up a path.
"It doesn't suit me …" Thick red appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and it served as a contrast to his black hair. A crazed and unapproachable presence spread out from his body in an unseen manner.
"Is this how you treat your guests in Morning Dao Sect? The third prince from the Emperor of Abyss' True World came to congratulate you for making your Dynast his Anointment. He came with a congratulatory gift, but Dao Kong killed him, and all of you just watched. No one tried to stop him.
"Morning Dao Sect, what a sect. I'd like to know what the Emperor of Abyss will do once he learns of this." Old You and Ming cast each other a glance, and Old You spoke languidly with a fake smile on his face.
The expressions of Sect Masters Ri, Yue, and Xing from Morning Dao Sect were dark. They might have already made their decision, but at that moment, they still felt that the situation was slightly troublesome. Su Ming had attacked and killed the third prince too quickly. They originally thought that he would not be able to open the screen of light, which would have made things much simpler, but not only had he managed to do so, he had also killed the third prince.
This made the situation slightly more complicated.
"Dao Kong, you went a little overboard in this matter … There were outsiders around … Oh well, go to Dao Ocean and isolate yourself for five hundred years. This will be your punishment. As for the Emperor of Abyss' True World …" Sect Masters Ri, Yue, and Xing sighed in their hearts. With one move, they appeared in front of Su Ming and blocked his path.
The three of them looked at each other. All of them were troubled by the fact that they did not know just how great of a price they would have to pay for this. If there were no outsiders around, then they would have just killed the third prince. As for the others, there were plenty of ways to deal with them.
But Old You and Ming would clearly use this matter to fan the flames, which would immediately make the matter very difficult to deal with. However, compared to the price they would have to pay, the fact that Su Ming had manifested all five fingers made him an incredibly valuable resource to Morning Dao Sect.
This sort of resource was equivalent to a future Almighty in Death Realm, which was why they changed their initial view of him.
"If there were no outsiders around …" Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. He lifted his bloodshot eyes, which were dull and filled with madness. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
