Both sides instantly closed in on each other. A shocking bang reverberated in the air, and Su Ming's right hand crashed into the Ancient God's battle axe.
Su Ming shuddered and took three steps back, but the Ancient God shuddered. His battle axe shattered to pieces, and he took a dozen steps back in succession, moving tens of thousands of feet away from his original spot.
"Haha! How delightful! Come, let's do it again!" The Ancient God threw his head back and roared. His body swelled up again, and as the seven stars at the center of his brows shone brightly, he charged towards Su Ming again without any hesitation.
In the distance of the battlefield in the sky was a space. No one noticed that there was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged there. He was dressed in a black robe, and his expression was apathetic. There was not a hint of emotion on his face.
He sat quietly. His body seemed to have fused with the universe, causing others to be unable to see any changes in his aura.
In fact, not a single hint of life could be sensed from the middle-aged man's body. He was like a puppet. When he sat cross-legged, he did not move. Only a dark light would occasionally shine in his eyes.
He stared at Su Ming, who was fighting against the ten thousand feet tall Ancient God in the distance, and asked as if he was talking to himself, "I discovered Dao Kong. Should I activate the plan to replace him?"
At the instant he spoke, the dark light in his eyes flashed even faster. At the same time, in the core of the Immortals' Union was a galaxy surrounded by a thick layer of fog that had suddenly appeared many years ago. A thick pillar of light could be vaguely seen descending from the galaxy. It had been there for many years, and every once in a while, an afterimage would descend from within it in a flickering manner.
At that moment, there were thousands of Immortals sitting and meditating around the pillar of light. There were three people who were the closest to the pillar of light.
One of them was an incredibly beautiful woman dressed in white. Her expression was aloof, and she was … Bai Ling, the Sacred Lady of Phoenix Sect, who could use that cold expression to speak gentle words of love to Su Ming in an attempt to make him fall into a daze!
Beside her stood a black-robed man. His aura was faintly discernible, like wisps of smoke swirling around him. It was as if he was incompatible with the sky, but he was forcefully staying in this world.
His appearance was about the same as the black-robed men Su Ming had met before, but his level of cultivation was clearly much higher than those black-robed men's. There was also an awe-inspiring presence about him that the other black-robed men did not possess. It was an awe-inspiring presence that was naturally formed due to being in a high position for a long period of time.
There was another person by his side. He was an old man with a head full of white hair and wore a long gray robe. He might be old, but if Su Ming was here, he would definitely be able to tell with just one glance that this old man's appearance was incredibly similar to the Di Tian in his memories. However, at that moment, this person was clearly much older.
He was no longer wearing the Emperor's robe or crown, but when he stood there, he gave off a pressure that was even stronger than the black-robed man's. His expression was dignified without being angry, and his eyes were so deep that they seemed to contain the universe.
There were six pictures in the huge pillar of light before them at that moment. Within them were Dao Hua, Dao Lin, and Su Ming!
As for the other three pictures, there were three middle-aged men. They had unfamiliar appearances, but the power spreading out from them was incredibly strong. Besides Su Ming, the other five were with the army of cultivators from Morning Dao Sect and were engaged in a chaotic battle against the cultivators from the Immortals' Union.
Only Su Ming was fighting against the Ancient God.
"Three Dynasts who walk in the light, and three Hidden Dynasts who hide in the darkness. Are these the six Dynasts of Morning Dao Sect?" the black-robed man asked in a hoarse voice. He seemed to be laughing, but there was scorn in his laughter.
"Besides him, the others are all trash." The black-robed man lifted his withered right hand and pointed at the pillar of light. Immediately, the picture belonging to Su Ming became clear and appeared before the three of them.
"Once you control these six Dynasts, it will be the same as you controlling Morning Dao Sect. Even if this is a fake image released by Morning Dao Sect, it's fine. If worst comes to worst, you will just fail," Bai Ling said coldly.
"Morning Dao Sect … That Su Xuan Yi who made me very curious … What is his goal? Is it because of his son's corpse? Does he want to turn the entire True Morning Dao World into his Abyss Builder? Or does he want to stir up a war between Saint Defier and Dark Dawn? "The black-robed man shook his head.
"Neither. If he wanted that corpse, he could have taken it away after countless years and before I descended. "Turning him into an Abyss Builder … isn't realistic.
"As for stirring up a war … I'm very curious. If he wanted to stir up a war, why did he plan to destroy Dark Dawn's Relocation path so that only Saint Defier could descend?
"My old friend, forgive me for forgetting your name. You won't mind if I call you Sublime Paragon Di Tian, right?" When the black-robed man spoke in a hoarse voice, he turned his head to look at the gray-robed old man.
"That's a good name," Di Tian said faintly.
"Then what is your old friend Su Xuan Yi, the remnant of the Abyss Builders, the one who married a woman from Dark Dawn, and whose entire race once belonged to Dark Dawn? "I'm very puzzled. He has been letting us descend all this while, so why is he launching a full-on counterattack now?" The black-robed man frowned.
"And this Dynast Dao Kong, is the person in control of the fifth kiln Su Xuan Yi's son?"
"The Predecessor of Dao Ocean told me that he isn't. "As for Su Xuan Yi's thoughts … he's a lunatic. I might have fought against him for most of my life, but I still find it difficult to guess what a lunatic is thinking. But at the end of the day, it's just to make the Abyss Builders rise to power." Di Tian was silent for a moment before he shook his head.
"Since the Predecessor of Dao Ocean said this … then this Dao Kong is a fake Su Xuan Yi spread out. He wants to use him to attract our attention so that we can protect his true son.
"No wonder Dao Kong's matters in Morning Dao Sect have spread like wildfire." The black-robed man shook his head.
"Is Su Xuan Yi's thoughts that important? If a Great Celestial Paragon from Saint Defier's camp descends, then everything here can be solved," Bai Ling said faintly.
"The barrier to Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos isn't so easy to break. We've been invading and preparing for so many years, but at most, we can only send an Almighty in Void Triad." If you can occupy an entire True World, then you can reduce the difficulty for us from Saint Defier to descend. In fact, the three Paragons of Saint Defier, the three supreme existences, are very interested in descending to this place. "The black-robed man smiled faintly.
"Alright, since we can be certain that this Dao Kong isn't Su Xuan Yi's son and isn't an Abyss Builder, then we'll replace him with him. Of course, the main point is still Dao Kong. I'm very interested in this person." The black-robed man swung his arm, and the picture of Su Ming in the pillar of light immediately turned illusory again.
"The physical body of Su Xuan Yi's son is already missing an arm. I've already prepared all the materials you promised me in the past. When … will you help me change my Life?
"If I also become an Abyss Builder, then your plans in Saint Defier's camp will be carried out even more perfectly," Di Tian said calmly while lifting his head to look at the black-robed man.
"It's a pity that I chose Sang in the beginning. He could be more compatible with that physical body, but as a former Sublime Paragon, you have the right to do so. Three months later, an Almighty from Saint Defier will descend. His name is Xing Ji Ji, and he has the same status as me. We're both Sect Lords of the Immortal World's Eight Paramount Daos." He will bring the supreme treasure that the three Saints from Saint Defier have fused with for tens of thousands of years. With the preparations you made previously, he has a five-tenths chance of changing your Life and turning you into an Abyss Builder!
"However, you must also be prepared for failure," the black-robed man said faintly. He walked into the pillar of light, sat down cross-legged, and did not move.
At the same time, a glint appeared in Bai Ling's eyes. She lifted her hand, formed a seal, and pointed at the pillar of light. Immediately, the six pictures in the pillar shone with a dazzling light. When they surrounded the black-robed man, a glint appeared in the eyes of a cultivator from Morning Dao Sect in Dao Hua's picture. Then, he crumbled and turned into a layer of fog that spread out in all directions. When it stirred up chaos, Dao Hua shuddered, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.
Similar scenes played out one after another in the other scenes. Dao Lin and the three Hidden Palace Lords also experienced all sorts of accidents. It was difficult for others to notice, but they all seemed to have become completely different people. However, they recovered in the blink of an eye.
However, the others did not know that they … were no longer themselves. In fact, the sudden change caused them to be unable to activate the protection of the Flourishing Lotuses on their bodies. It was as if they had been Possessed.
The only picture that did not change was the one of Su Ming fighting against the Ancient God. This picture surrounded the black-robed man, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment.
"Oh well, the Immortal Paragon of Saint Defier will naturally communicate with the Ancient Paragon about the Ancient God dying in battle. I'm far away in Arid Triad, and there are plenty of things I can't worry about. After all, when the cultivators of the Immortal World die, the Ancient Gods will just watch, right?" the black-robed man mumbled, then lifted his right hand and pointed at the Ancient God in the picture.
At the same time, a dark light shone in the eyes of the person meditating with an apathetic expression in the battlefield where the War Chamber fought against the Immortals' Union. His body immediately disappeared.
Soon after, when Su Ming and the Ancient God crashed into each other, booming sounds reverberated in space. The Ancient God coughed up a mouthful of blood. When he forced Su Ming back, his body also moved back, but an even stronger fighting spirit erupted from his eyes. He roared, but just as he was about to take a step forward, his body suddenly shuddered, as if some strange divine ability had descended on him in an invisible manner.
As he trembled, a bang came from the center of his brows. One, two, three … When all seven stars shattered, they turned into a destructive power that could self-destruct. At the instant fear and anger appeared in his eyes, the Ancient God with seven stars … self-destructed!
