As the ocean of light surged forward, Su Ming's physical body was torn apart, and only his right hand was still in intense pain. He was continuously swept back and forth in the boundless universe under space and above the universe.
The tearing of his physical body and the destruction of his Nascent Divinity brought Su Ming an intense pain that was almost numb. If it was not because the Abyss Gate in his body was continuously releasing the Aura of Abyss and allowing his Nascent Divinity to swiftly recover under its nourishment, his body and soul would have been destroyed a long time ago.
It was quiet around him. The ocean of light surged forward without a single sound. There was only light in this place, endless light.
In the silence, Su Ming sensed the Abyss Gate in his body and the Seed of Life Extermination. He could only use this method to divert his attention, because there were strong and weak lights in the area, but even the weakest light caused his Nascent Divinity to feel sharp pain.
Fortunately, this pain did not come occasionally, but constantly, causing Su Ming to become numb to it. Since he was already in extreme pain, there was no comparison and he forgot what it felt like to not be in pain.
However, Su Ming did not give up. He continued to maintain a clear mind, because he believed that the bald crane would come to save him. He believed in this, and he also knew that the bald crane's origins were unfathomable. It … could move through space to come to him.
This was the only method Su Ming could use when he faced the attack from the Ancient God with seven stars. No matter how strong his physical body was, he could not fight against the power of self-destruction that came from the Ancient God with seven stars. Once all seven of his stars were destroyed, his body, life, Brand, and even his soul would explode.
Perhaps the fifth kiln could do it, but summoning it required time, and the Ancient God's self-destruction had been incredibly sudden. It happened so suddenly that Su Ming did not have much time to prepare himself.
In fact, due to the Ancient God's self-destruction being too great, even the power to reverse time could not be reversed at that moment. Su Ming might not have executed it in detail, but at that instant, he had already come to a clear understanding of it.
He could either have his body and soul destroyed in the self-destruction or break through space and step into the dangerous universe. Su Ming chose the latter.
At that moment, he floated in the ocean of light and was swept up by the waves formed by light. He did not know how much time had passed or how far he had traveled. To keep his mind clear and not fall unconscious due to the intense pain, he placed all his attention on the Abyss Gate and the Seed of Life Extermination, because besides these two objects, there was nothing else he could pay attention to.
This was not the first time he observed the Seed of Life Extermination, but it was definitely the first time Su Ming observed it so attentively that he could sense and sense it in such an environment.
He noticed that the fragment Xiao Hong had given him in the past had fused with Su Ming's Nascent Divinity many years ago, causing them to become one. At that moment, due to the nourishment from Su Ming's soul and everything Su Ming had experienced, the edges of the Seed of Life Extermination had gradually regrown.
It looked like a statue, and now, the statue was almost half complete. Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and it would become half a statue.
It could be vaguely seen from the statue that it was an ancient ship.
However, for some unknown reason, as Su Ming continued observing it, he suddenly had a strange feeling. It came from the Seed of Life Extermination's recovery speed. It seemed to have become much slower compared to the first time Su Ming saw it.
Su Ming would often pay attention to the Seed of Life Extermination, but at that moment, as this feeling rose in his heart, he gradually felt that the Seed of Life Extermination could not reach true completion.
It was as if … based on its recovery speed, when half of the Seed of Life Extermination was complete, it would no longer grow.
It was as if … even if it had already fused perfectly with Su Ming's Nascent Divinity, it would still reach its limit when it reached half of the Seed of Life Extermination.
This was the first time Su Ming had this guess appear at the back of his head. In silence, he sank into deep thought.
'Could it be that the Seed of Life Extermination still lacks something for its growth?' Su Ming could not think of an answer. As he mulled over his thoughts, he immediately cast all his attention on the Seed of Life Extermination again. He watched it exist in his Nascent Divinity like a parasite. In fact, as Su Ming focused his attention on it, he suddenly saw threads of venous pathways extending from the Seed of Life Extermination to his Nascent Divinity.
The venous pathways only lasted for an instant before they disappeared, but the scene that had suddenly appeared caused Su Ming's heart to tremble.
It was the first time he saw such a strange sight. The web-like venous pathways that stretched out from the Seed of Life Extermination might have only appeared for an instant, but it caused Su Ming's skin to crawl. His first thought was that it was a spider!
The Seed of Life Extermination was like a spider. It had formed countless venous pathways that stretched out from Su Ming's Nascent Divinity to form a huge web!
At that moment, Su Ming had completely ignored the intense pain of his Nascent Divinity being continuously torn apart. He also ignored the feeling of the Abyss Gate continuously healing his Nascent Divinity. All his attention was placed on the Seed of Life Extermination.
'Something's wrong …' But this time, no matter how Su Ming observed it, he could no longer see the venous pathways. It was as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion. However, Su Ming was certain that even if he was suffering from intense pain at that moment, the scene before was definitely not an illusion.
After all, he was the Progenitor who controlled illusions, and he had the confidence to do so.
'Then just what is the reason why I could see it before but not after …?' Su Ming's eyes sparkled rapidly. Suddenly, his gaze focused, and he slowly turned his head around to look at the colorful lights around him. As all sorts of colors intersected with each other and fused together, they formed an innumerable amount of different lights.
'It's light! That's right, it's the light here. When a certain kind of light shines on my Nascent Divinity, it can reveal a scene that I usually can't see! ' As Su Ming's heart trembled, he immediately recalled what sort of light had appeared around him when the venous pathways appeared.
However, this was clearly an incredibly difficult task. The light in this place was constantly present, and it was impossible for him to find out what sort of light had appeared at a certain point in time.
In silence, resolve appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He had to understand just what was going on with the Seed of Life Extermination, because there was a high possibility that it was a secret he would never be able to discover in his entire life. If he had not stepped into this place by chance, it would have been impossible for him to know that the Seed of Life Extermination had clearly fused with his Nascent Divinity, but what Su Ming saw previously had caused his skin to crawl!
A light shone in Su Ming's eyes, and his Nascent Divinity moved from the still ocean of light. With it, the feeling of his Nascent Divinity being torn became several times stronger, causing Su Ming's Nascent Divinity to shudder. If it was not because of the large amount of Aura of Abyss spreading out from the Abyss Gate, he would have been torn to shreds.
Yet even so, it did not make Su Ming get rid of his thoughts. His Nascent Divinity instantly swam about in the ocean of light while enduring the intense pain and the urge to throw his head back and roar to vent his pain, because he had to place all his attention on the Seed of Life Extermination. If he vented his pain, his will would become lax, and he would not be able to pay attention to the Seed of Life Extermination.
Su Ming's Nascent Divinity continued swimming about, trying to make all sorts of light shine on his Nascent Divinity. Time trickled by. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Ming's Nascent Divinity had become incredibly weak due to the intense pain of being torn apart. Yet at that moment, a ray of light that was a fusion of red and white suddenly flashed and swept past Su Ming's Nascent Divinity.
At the instant it swept past him, Su Ming's Nascent Divinity shuddered. He saw the Seed of Life Extermination in his Nascent Divinity again. With the Seed of Life Extermination as the center, it spread through all the venous pathways in Su Ming's Nascent Divinity!
At the same time, Su Ming's Nascent Divinity continued moving as if it was chasing after the red and white light, causing the venous pathways from the Seed of Life Extermination in his Nascent Divinity to remain clear. Gradually, a brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. He saw that the venous pathways were black, and the Seed of Life Extermination did not fuse with his Nascent Divinity as he had previously thought …
That was …
'Parasitism!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
He was an Abyss Builder, and his understanding towards Possession and parasitism was much greater than that of other people. With just one glance, he could tell that the Seed of Life Extermination and his Nascent Divinity had a parasitic relationship.
In silence, Su Ming sank into pensive silence. It was not that he could not accept the parasitic relationship, but it was slightly different from what he had previously thought. In silence, a crack suddenly opened at the center of his Nascent Divinity's brows. His third eye swiftly appeared, and when he looked at the venous pathways, they were instantly magnified endlessly in Su Ming's eyes.
When they were magnified by an unknown number of times, what Su Ming saw caused a hint of ferociousness and disbelief to appear on his face.
He saw countless threads that looked like centipedes appearing on each of the venous pathways once they were magnified by several times. Those threads fused into his Nascent Divinity and were continuously destroying it. Once they crushed it, they began devouring it in a frenzy.
The Seed of Life Extermination might have been able to heal and grow because it had devoured the blood of those from Saint Defier's camp, but the greater reason was that Su Ming's Nascent Divinity had provided a large amount of nourishment to the Seed of Life Extermination.
The destruction of the Nascent Divinity could not be seen with the naked eye. It could not be sensed by divine sense either, but the damage it caused was constant. In fact, once Su Ming saw it, he could immediately tell with his level of cultivation that if he continued devouring it for another five hundred years, then even if his level of cultivation increased, his Nascent Divinity would be irreversibly damaged.
In fact, if another five hundred years or even one thousand years passed, no matter what level of cultivation Su Ming had, he would not be able to prevent his Nascent Divinity from dying!
This was because it was a parasitic parasite that did not receive any feedback from his Nascent Divinity. It was a one-sided devouring, which was why Su Ming felt that it had saved him every single time … but in truth, it was the parasite's way of protecting its host. It had yet to grow, which was why it had to protect its host's life.
Anguish appeared on Su Ming's face. He no longer chased after the red and white light. The venous pathways of the Seed of Life Extermination in his Nascent Divinity soon disappeared, and everything returned to normal. If he had not gone through this experience, perhaps Su Ming would only know that the thing that had taken away his Nascent Divinity and destroyed him was the Seed of Life Extermination.
