The three great innate abilities of the Abyss Builders were the ability to control the flow of time, the ability to Possess all manner of living, and the ability to open the Abyss Gate!
These three great innate abilities created the might and glory of the Abyss Builders!
However, not all Abyss Builders possessed these three great innate abilities. Among them, the ability to control the flow of time was the easiest. Practically one in a thousand Abyss Builders would come to understand this innate divine ability.
As for seizing the bodies of all living things, it was clearly much more difficult than controlling the reversal of time. Roughly one in a thousand clansmen would possess this ability. However, these one thousand people were not ordinary clansmen. Instead, they were people who had mastered the power to reverse time.
There might not seem to be many Abyss Builders who could obtain these two innate abilities, but in truth, with the number of Abyss Builders, there were quite a number of such people.
The thing that affected the awakening of this innate ability was the bloodline. The purer the bloodline, the more Abyss Builders would be able to awaken their innate abilities!
As for the third innate ability, the ability to open the Abyss Gate, it was comparatively easier. The probability of it awakening was one in ten, but these ten people were the Abyss Builders who had understood the power to Possess and control the flow of time!
When Su Ming was in the land of Berserkers, he had used the sign of the awakening of the Abyss Gate and obtained the power to control the flow of time. He had fused the past and future to form Destiny, causing his innate ability to be gradually perfected.
When he left the land of Berserkers and was devoured by the Crimson Python Phoenix, during the moment of danger, his innate ability to Possess was stimulated and awakened. It was as if some sort of instinct had been activated, causing him to instantly obtain the second great innate ability of the Abyss Builders.
Many years had passed since then. At the instant Su Ming buried all the complicated emotions and sorrow in his heart in the dead planet, he used the grass containing the laws of fate to activate the third great innate ability of the Abyss Builders!
The Abyss Builders' divine ability allowed them to reverse time to its peak. They could control the flow of time and become the masters of time. If they could also reach the peak of their second innate ability, they would be able to fuse all of their clones into their real bodies and reach the peak of their power!
The third great divine ability, the ability to open the Abyss Gate, was the most mysterious ability of the Abyss Builders. It was also the strongest innate ability of the Abyss Builders that practically no one could practice to its peak!
It was the power of resurrection. It was the power to create a World on its own, to open the Abyss World, and to resurrect all those who had died.
However, creating the Abyssal World was too difficult. Since ancient times, even the powerful Progenitor of the Abyss Builders had not been able to do it completely.
Opening the Abyss Gate was just the first level of this divine ability. There would be more after that. Just the activation of the Abyss Gate alone was already the same as opening a door to a higher level for Su Ming.
The vortex surrounded Su Ming. It contained countless runic symbols, and each of them represented the souls of a race in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.
Su Ming had his eyes closed in the vortex. His hair danced in the wind. His body might not have been big or built, but he was definitely not thin and shriveled. Yet at that moment, his body started rapidly withering away, as if all his flesh and blood were being sucked away by some invisible existence within him.
At the same time, the Abyss Builders' legacies hidden in his soul immediately appeared in Su Ming's mind, allowing him to instantly understand his current condition.
It was a thirst for flesh and blood, for souls, and for life. It was the same condition all Abyss Builders experienced once they opened the Abyss Gate. They needed a large amount of flesh, blood, and essence of souls to fully open the Abyss Gate.
Right then, it had only been opened, not completely opened. Su Ming could clearly sense that there seemed to be a bottomless pit in his body, and there seemed to be a door in the depths of it.
Waves of Aura of Abyss spread out from the door, and he also understood that if he opened it, his level of cultivation would increase exponentially!
At the instant these thoughts and the epiphany of the legacies in his blood appeared in Su Ming's mind, the vortex around him disappeared. Everything around him returned to normal, and not a single hint of aura spread out. However, Su Ming's body had become completely thin and withered while he sat on the mountain. It could be said that he had changed drastically compared to his previous appearance.
His thinness was still continuing, as if it wanted to devour all of Su Ming's flesh and blood. In fact, as the bottomless pit in his body absorbed his soul, he gradually showed signs of wavering.
Su Ming's eyes flew open, and a dark light shone in them. At the instant Flame Fiends' Progenitor saw Su Ming's eyes, he shuddered. White smoke spread out from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, as if it wanted to stretch towards Su Ming against his will.
This scene shocked Flame Fiends' Progenitor. He retreated swiftly, but he still could not stop his life force and soul from spreading out. After all, just one glance from Su Ming could already do this, so there was no way Flame Fiends' Progenitor would not be shocked.
Fortunately, Su Ming immediately averted his gaze, which allowed Flame Fiends' Progenitor to quickly circulate his cultivation base and force the life force and soul that had spread out to fuse back into his body. His face instantly turned pale, and he looked at Su Ming with fear.
Zhu You Cai sucked in a deep breath as well. As the bald crane shuddered, a dazed look appeared in its eyes, as if there were countless chaotic memories continuously crashing into each other in its mind.
"The presence of the Abyss … the death of all lives … the power of light and darkness with a single thought … is not allowed to appear …" The bald crane's eyes rolled back, and it fell to the ground with a thump. Once it quickly got up, it clawed at its head again and let out a long breath.
"Darn it all, this is asking for a beating. Come, Abyss Dragon, my boy, hit me." The bald crane twisted its body, and a black dot immediately flew out from its body. It instantly turned into an Abyss Dragon, and just as it was about to attack the bald crane, the bald crane quickly went up and kicked the Abyss Dragon fiercely …
Su Ming was not too far away. At that moment, his eyes might have been open, but there were a large amount of blood capillaries covering them. His body had withered away for a moment, and at that moment, he was practically skin and bones. However, even in this state, Su Ming did not show any signs of weakness. Instead, a vast power of cultivation base was continuously brewing in his body.
'I need a sufficient amount of flesh, blood, and souls to activate the Abyss Gate. Only then can it stop absorbing my life force.' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. His heart was filled with anticipation at that moment. He looked forward to what sort of changes the Abyss Gate, one of the three great inborn abilities of the Abyss Builders, would bring about.
When time reversed, Su Ming sensed just how powerful it was. The ability to Possess all lives also gave Su Ming an incredibly strong ability to survive. The strength of these two divine abilities was enough to make anyone go mad.
Right then, Su Ming had activated his third inborn ability. The things that he had come to understand from the legacy of the soul were already enough to make his heart tremble. At that moment, a glint appeared in his eyes, and he looked towards the sky filled with flowing fog. He had never looked forward to the war … coming sooner than he did at that moment.
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath and closed his eyes to quell the excitement in his heart. He also continued suppressing the bottomless pit that had formed in his body. As he did so, the murmurs of his will echoed in his heart.
'For the Dao that belongs to me, for the sake of creating a home … I, Su Ming … Even if I have to overturn the universe, even if I have to destroy all lives, I will still complete it!' Su Ming's breathing quickened. His closed eyes were filled with determination, but there was also a crazed light in them. Gray, red, gold, and black light continued changing on his body, causing Su Ming's thoughts to gradually feel as if some sort of will in his heart had been ignited. In the end, it turned into a brilliant light that was hidden from his eyes. That brilliant light might have been hidden, but his heart … went through a metamorphosis due to the determination he felt at that moment.
Time trickled by, and a month went by. During it, Su Ming continued sitting on the mountain. His body had withered so much that it looked like he had turned into a skeleton. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him away, but the presence spreading out from Su Ming's body had become increasingly terrifying.
By his side were the bald crane, Flame Fiends' Progenitor, and Zhu You Cai. All of them would occasionally cast their gazes towards Su Ming. The past month had not been easy for them. Even Zhu You Cai felt as if all his life force, soul, and even his flesh and blood were about to be sucked out of his body if he was a little closer to Su Ming.
During that month, the middle-aged man called Wild Dog had come once, but once he got closer to Su Ming, his expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he left swiftly and never returned.
On this day, a loud bang came from the galaxy. Sounds of battle reverberated in space, and a storm of war descended. This was the first great battle the Earthen Pole had to face.
Beyond the planet was a gray screen of light flashing rapidly in front of the five million cultivators from the Earthen Pole's War Chamber. Behind it were nearly one million cultivators from the Immortals' Union. All of them had pale faces as they stared at the army of the War Chamber beyond the screen of light in shock.
Behind them were nine planets in the shape of spoons. This place … was a Relocation spot belonging to the Immortals' Union, and it was also the territory of the Dust Dews.
As one of the members of the Immortals' Union, the tribe leader, Great Sect Elder, and the other powerful warriors had solemn and anxious expressions on their faces. They were in the galaxy above the nine planets, and their gazes pierced through the screen of light to stare at the five million cultivators from the War Chamber with monstrous murderous aura.
"Wherever the War Chamber goes …" At that moment, a soft voice came from the planet where Su Ming was located behind the cultivators from the War Chamber. Almost at the instant it spoke, low roars tumbled out from the mouths of the five million cultivators.
"All signs of life are gone!" At the instant the five million cultivators roared, they rushed out together. With a single step, they spread out their cultivation bases and charged towards the screen of light.
It was also at that moment that Su Ming's skeleton-like body on the planet lifted his head. He opened his eyes, revealing a gaze that was filled with red, but he still retained his intelligence. It was a gaze that longed for flesh, blood, and soul. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
