Boom!
In the purple fog, Su Ming seized a ferocious beast that looked like a tiger with his right hand. That ferocious beast looked like a tiger, but there was a single horn on its forehead. At that moment, Su Ming seized its neck and pressed it down on the ground. Veins popped up on Su Ming's right hand, and the power of his cultivation base reverberated between his fingers. His face was old, and he swept his gaze across the area with a calm expression. He squeezed his right hand, and with a loud crack, he crushed the tiger's neck. Then, he lowered his head and bit down on the ferocious beast's neck. He sucked in a deep breath, and a large amount of faint golden blood flowed into his mouth.
Even if the tiger's neck had been crushed, it continued struggling, but with Su Ming's right hand pressing down on it, no matter how much it struggled, it was useless. As Su Ming continued eating, it gradually stopped moving.
After a moment, when Su Ming lifted his head, the corners of his mouth were covered in blood. If anyone saw him at that moment, they would definitely be shocked, and their hearts would tremble, because at that moment, Su Ming looked incredibly terrifying and ferocious. Even if his Ecang clone was not around, he still exuded a malicious aura.
Su Ming wiped off the blood at the corners of his mouth and let go of the ferocious beast's neck. He stood up, and with a single move, he charged into the distance. This time, he no longer moved with his physical body, but had activated his cultivation base. If this was a normal hunt, Su Ming would not have done this, but he was in the world outside. He did not know when the purple fog would turn red, so he had to charge forward.
This was also part of his plan. Only when the purple fog appeared and the ferocious beasts served as supplements would he be able to use his cultivation base without having to be slightly more wary.
Su Ming was so quick that he instantly left into the distance. After a moment, a ferocious beast that looked like a python was seized by Su Ming's left hand. No matter how the python coiled around his body and tightened its grip, Su Ming did not slow down. As he charged forward, he bit down on the python's body and drank a large mouthful of its blood. After a moment, he let go and simply allowed the python's body to slide down before he charged forward even faster.
Time trickled by. When the first day of the purple fog passed, Su Ming came to an abrupt halt. He let go of a wild dog whose blood he had completely devoured, and a dark red glare shone in his eyes. This was another mark he had left behind after continuously devouring the blood of the ferocious beasts in this place for four years.
Su Ming's eyes sparkled, and he turned his head to the side to look at the fog to his right. His divine sense had appeared and disappeared just as quickly. During that instant, he noticed that there was a small hill in the fog to his right. That hill was hollow, and there were faint ripples of a Rune within it.
He only hesitated for the span of a few breaths before he immediately changed his direction and charged towards the small hill. He was so quick that he activated his cultivation base, and before long, he arrived near the small hill. When he looked over, his pupils shrank.
This was a small white hill. Even though there was a hint of purple in the purple fog, Su Ming could still tell that it was white. The mountain was indeed hollow, and there were indeed ripples of a Rune within it, but those ripples were broken. With a single move, Su Ming appeared at the top of the mountain. He saw a gigantic hole at the top of the mountain, and within it was a cave abode.
The cave abode was in ruins, and there was dust everywhere. In fact, some of the purple fog had seeped into the cave and filled the area. Su Ming stepped into the cave abode, and with just one glance, he saw two skeletons pinned to the stone wall of the cave abode by the side.
One of them was big, and the other small. Su Ming could tell that the big skeleton belonged to a man, and the small skeleton clearly belonged to a child about five or six years old. Their bodies were twisted, a telling sign that they had suffered great pain before they died. This sort of twisting made Su Ming remember the pain he had felt when almost all his life force had been sucked away by the figure in the red fog.
They were pinned to the stone wall, and there were two red bone spears impaling their bodies. They had pierced through their skulls, and no one knew how long they had been pinned there.
There were quite a lot of shattered stones on the ground around them. Su Ming stood there and looked at the two skeletons quietly, then at the two bone spears that were still exuding waves of murderous, chilling presence. He lifted his head in silence and looked at the gigantic hole above him in the cave abode.
Naturally, an image appeared in his mind. In that image, these two people, one big and one small, who were not skeletons, were living here, avoiding the dangers of the outside world. However, one day, perhaps when the fog outside turned red, their cave abode was blasted open by someone from the outside …
Shattered stones fell, and two bone spears descended along with them. They pinned the pair of people who might have been father and son to the stone wall, and they could only let out shrill screams as a group of figures in the red fog pounced on them and sucked away all of their life force.
Su Ming stared at the hole quietly, and his wariness grew stronger. A fierce glare appeared in his eyes. While he was in the cave abode, he knew that besides the figures in the red fog, there was another dangerous existence in this world that could throw bone spears.
'Just what happened in this world..?' In silence, Su Ming left the cave abode. Even though he did not know when the purple fog outside would turn red, the cave abode was already damaged. With the hole around, it was impossible for him to use it to hide. That was why before the fog turned red, Su Ming had to quickly search for a place of refuge.
As time passed, the purple fog tumbled about even more violently. As Su Ming charged forward, a dark look appeared in his eyes. His experiences during the past four years told him that when the purple fog tumbled about at its strongest, a period of relative calmness would usually appear, and during that calmness, the red fog would descend.
Even though this was not absolute, it would still happen six out of ten times.
The second day, the third day, and when the fourth day arrived, the purple fog around Su Ming tumbled about with loud bangs like raging waves. This was the moment when it was at its strongest, but Su Ming still did not manage to find another place of refuge. In silence, Su Ming did not give up. He continued charging forward.
When the fifth day arrived, the fog suddenly calmed down, and Su Ming came to a halt. He let out a soft sigh and also threw out the bloodless carcass of a ferocious beast in his hand.
'I can only use this method. It might be slightly dangerous, but since I chose to walk out of the safe cave abode in the beginning, then I must have been prepared to face danger.' Su Ming shook his head. In the calm purple fog, he lifted his right foot and stomped on the ground. With a bang, cracks appeared on the ground. Su Ming lifted his right hand and punched the ground. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and a deep pit appeared on the ground. At the same time, Su Ming swung his right hand, and the pit immediately sank. When it reached a great distance underground, Su Ming sensed a powerful repelling force spreading out from the ground. If he continued going down, then his power would not be enough. He knew that this was his limit, which was why he sat down cross-legged and formed a seal with his hands before he pushed them around him. Immediately, the earth above him gathered together, and in the span of a few breaths, the ground turned flat, burying Su Ming within it.
About two hours after Su Ming hid himself underground, the color of the purple fog in the world outside suddenly started changing rapidly. In an instant, it turned red. At the same time, the entire sky was filled with red, causing the entire world to be dyed in a shade of red that seemed to have no end.
At the same time, shrill, piercing cries echoed in the air. Figures walked out as if they had been born from the red fog. They floated in the red fog and devoured all the life force they saw.
At the same time, murmurs reverberated throughout heaven and earth.
"Life is born in the world, and when it is born, it is an animal …"
"That is why the world can last for so long because it does not give birth to itself. That is why it can live. If I want to live, I can only seize life …"
"Ancestral Spirits come before Ancestral Spirits, and they come before the disaster of the universe. That is why those who obtain life must destroy life …" The piercing voice seemed to contain some sort of strange power. Even if Su Ming was hidden deep underground, he could still hear it.
He made his presence disappear and filled his body with the aura of death so that he could hide from the red fog in the world outside. This was the method Su Ming had used when he was chased down by the figures in the red fog, but he knew that this method could only be effective temporarily. It could not last for long. During the seven days of the red fog, the longest he had lasted was the fourth day before he was found by the figures in the red fog.
'Four days. If I can last for four days, it'll be fine. If I can last for one more day, they'll be able to chase after me for one less day …' Su Ming forced himself to calm down and quietly count the time.
Days passed. The second day, the second day, the fourth day … As Su Ming waited quietly and remained vigilant, the fifth day passed, but when the sixth day arrived, Su Ming suddenly jolted, and a fierce glare shone in his eyes. Without any hesitation, he lifted his right hand and punched the ground above him. As booming sounds surged into the sky, the ground trembled, and Su Ming rushed out.
At the instant he rushed out, more than a dozen red figures pounced on him from the depths of the ground where he had previously been buried. If Su Ming had not noticed them quickly, then all his life force would have been instantly sucked away.
'There's still two more days …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Once he rushed out of the ground, he immediately charged forward in the red fog. He did not choose to hide in the depths of the ground. He had tried it before, and the experience he gained after paying a certain price was that he could only hide in the ground once in the red fog. If he tried it a second time, then it would be completely useless.
At that moment, as he charged forward in the fog, the piercing sounds behind him became even stronger. Figures appeared one after another and pounced on him in a frenzy.
It would have been fine if there were only these figures behind him, but in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a large number of red figures appeared by his sides, and even in front of him.
Su Ming gritted his teeth and leaped up. With the power of flight, he charged into the distance. A large number of red figures also appeared above him. Once they saw him, they immediately screamed and chased after him.
