"As long as I have a little more time, I will be able to …" The old man shook his head. When he saw the world in front of him being swept by the will, the sky shattered, the ground turned into nothingness, and the galaxy that was revealed shattered, the old man lifted his right hand and struck the young man behind him. The young man immediately fell backwards and was sucked into a huge vortex that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Master!" The young man's roar was filled with pain and endless grief.
"Go, use the method I prepared previously. You will have a three-tenths of a chance to escape from the disaster." The vortex behind the old man disappeared. A brilliant light shone in his eyes, and he took a huge step forward towards the incoming will.
Boom!
The scene ended, and Su Ming felt a sharp stab of pain in his head. At the same time, his level of cultivation rose from the initial stage of Life Realm to the middle stage of Life Realm. Soon after, the golden light spread out and shifted from Su Ming's skin before leaving his cultivation base. This was the first time Su Ming's level of cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds after he had perfected his Berserker Body. At that moment, that leap ended.
Su Ming's entire body was drenched in sweat. The inheritance should not have been so painful, but Su Ming had to reverse his cultivation base, which was why he was in so much pain. However, all of it was worth it. Not only had he forced his level of cultivation to reach the middle stage of Life Realm, he had also seen the disaster in the scene that had appeared in his head!
Su Ming did not know what the will in the disaster was, but the strength of that will caused him to feel an endless sense of danger while his heart was in shock.
He did not dare to think about whether the will in the disaster … would descend again in the future to sweep through Arid Triad and destroy all lives. In fact, during that instant just now, Su Ming remembered the secrets of the universe he had seen in the Heavenly Incense Rune!
It was death and destruction. All of Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos had turned into a dead void.
He also understood that the Ancestral Spirit he had fused with was … the young man called Zhan Bai. The so-called Ancestral Spirits were actually cultivators as well. It was just that they were cultivators from an even earlier era. Their era had been destroyed by the calamity, and the survivors had created a new era. They … had become Ancestral Spirits!
As powerful as they were, they were merely seeds sent out for the sake of passing on the legacy of the era that had been destroyed by the calamity. The true experts of that era had long since died in the passage of time. But even if they had reached such an indescribable realm, they still died to the calamity. Then, the power of the calamity …
Su Ming did not dare think about it. In silence, he welcomed the final step of his spirit ascension, the crucial step for him to become an Antecedental Spirit from a Successor Spirit — transformation of the soul!
First was the fleshly body, then the cultivation base, and finally … the soul!
Using the Soul Transformation to open up the level of life, unraveling the Rear Spirit, Antecedental Life Spirit!
More golden light descended from the All Spirits Hall. When it enveloped the area around Su Ming, it charged into his body and instantly fused into his soul.
Golden light stretched to one hundred thousand feet and descended together, causing Su Ming's body to become indistinct. In the distance, the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe might have looked as calm as ever, but in his heart, he was incredibly concerned. He knew that Su Ming's spirit ascension was already halfway to success, but even so, if any accident happened during the transformation of the soul, he would still fail.
At that moment, he watched the golden light fuse into Su Ming's body. Once Su Ming reached the stage of the transformation of the soul, the old man immediately spread his divine sense to cover the entire area. He would absolutely not allow any form of interference from the outside world. Any form of interference would have to face him at full power.
"You have to succeed. You've already gone through half of it. The transformation of the soul during the spirit ascension might be the hardest to get through, and there have been quite a number of our people who failed during the transformation of the soul in the past, but since you're a member of the later generation and possess such power, you must have gone through a lot of hardships in your life. You must definitely have a will that a normal person cannot imagine!
"And you're a seed of Great Berserker Tribe. You're their hope. Your will must have gone through countless trials. You … will definitely succeed!" The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe stared at Su Ming. When anticipation appeared in his eyes, he looked at the area and the sky, and killing intent appeared in his eyes.
'If he fails, he won't have a future, but if he truly succeeds, then the Arid Beast will appear. I can kill the Arid Beast in his place … but if the Arid Disaster appears … it should be impossible for it to appear. After all, this is the child's first Immortal Ascension. He … shouldn't attract the Arid Disaster's attention. It shouldn't … Even I only had that terrifying Arid Disaster appear during my seventh spirit ascension …' the old man mumbled in his heart with a solemn expression on his face.
While the old man was nervous, the endless golden light turned Su Ming's soul into glowing spots and fused into it. He sensed his soul swelling up and becoming stronger at a terrifying speed.
In the beginning, Su Ming felt a comfortable feeling of nourishment. Once his soul continued becoming stronger, he felt as if his life was flourishing and becoming stronger. In fact, some of his experiences regarding cultivation in the past were magnified endlessly at that moment, allowing Su Ming to immediately gain quite a large amount of epiphanies.
However, when he reached the middle stage of Immortal Ascension, the strengthening brought him no longer a comfortable feeling, but a terrifying feeling. His soul continued growing bigger, and in fact, Su Ming could already feel faint pain. The fear brought by that pain was that if his soul continued growing like this, then it would definitely explode due to the golden power fusing into it!
Once it exploded, the destruction of his soul would be the same as the destruction of his body and soul. This caused Su Ming to gradually feel great pressure, but his soul still did not stop growing. It gradually grew larger, causing the intense pain to become stronger, and the pressure it brought to his heart was indescribable.
As the golden power fused into his soul, it swelled up so quickly that almost at the instant Su Ming sensed the intense pain in his soul … his soul split apart with a bang.
It did not crumble, but split apart. In the midst of the intense pain, his soul was divided into two, and they evenly distributed the power of the golden light. Soon after, the two souls split apart again as they swelled up.
The first time, Su Ming's soul turned into two. The second time, his soul turned into four, but soon, the third, fourth, and fifth split appeared.
Su Ming's soul also turned from four to eight, then to sixteen, and then to thirty-two!
The intense pain of his soul splitting was nothing to the current Su Ming, because what was even more unbearable was the splitting of his will. When his soul split apart, his will also spread out. At that moment, when it turned into thirty-two parts, it was as if each of them was a Su Ming.
If any other race had been in Su Ming's place, they would definitely have found it difficult to bear with the transformation of his soul. Fortunately, Su Ming was an Abyss Builder, and one of his inborn abilities was to Possess clones. That was why he could somewhat bear with the feeling of his will being split into thirty-two parts and find his original soul among them.
'He's split five times … He should have reached the end. Five splits, thirty-two souls. This child is from Great Abyss Tribe, so he should be fine. He won't lose his original soul, and his will won't be wiped off when the thirty-two souls fuse and devour each other.
'Great Berserker Tribe, when I look at you now, I can't help but admire your choice. Choosing to be a member of Great Abyss Tribe is itself a bold choice.' The old man let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart, but at that moment, his eyes focused, and a solemn look appeared in them.
'He actually … split six times?! Damn it, how could this be? Based on my experience and memories, only a handful of people in my tribe will split six times when their souls undergo a transformation. Could this be related to Great Abyss Tribe? 'Six times … This child should be able to bear with it, albeit with difficulty. I hope that he … This … This is!' The old man opened his mouth and sucked in a sharp breath. A strong hint of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
'Seven times!' He saw with his own eyes that Su Ming's body, which was filled with golden light, split seven times at that moment! This had never happened before in his memories. Even during his era, no tribe member had ever split seven times when they underwent a transformation of their souls during their spirit ascension!
'Seven times? How could this be? Damn it, this child … There's a hint of the alien's presence in this child's soul. This must be the reason!' The old man's expression kept changing, and in the end, it turned into anguish. He knew that Su Ming's chances of successfully having his spirit ascend had been reduced to an incredibly low level.
'Whether you can succeed or not will depend on your serendipity. Ha …' The old man sighed softly in silence.
At that moment, Su Ming was enduring an indescribable pain. It was the result of his soul being split into 128 parts. His will had also been split into 128 parts, and each of them was him. It was precisely because of this that it was very easy for people to lose themselves in this state and forget which one of them was the original soul.
And this was the first key to the transformation of the soul. It was also known as losing oneself.
If a person could not find his first soul and was lost among the one hundred something souls and wills, what awaited Su Ming would be a terrifying destruction. He would forever be lost in his soul and would no longer have a sense of self. Even if he succeeded in the end and the person who opened his eyes would be Su Ming, he might also no longer be Su Ming.
At that moment, Su Ming was like a lone boat in a raging wave. He instinctively did not want his mind to be thrown into chaos because his mind was split. He instinctively wanted to lock down on his first soul, but as he did so with great difficulty, a bang rang out in his head. As the golden light continued fusing into his 128 souls … the eighth split appeared.
256 souls filled Su Ming's mind, causing his lock to shudder. He felt as if he could not be certain which soul was his origin soul!
At that moment, Su Ming, who was in the Expanse Cosmos where the All Spirits Hall was located, did not know that there was an altar sealed in ice in the ninth Expanse Cosmos among the one hundred and eight Expanse Cosmoses located in Dark Dawn's camp far away from this place. It was so far away that it surpassed Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.
There was a long-haired woman sitting cross-legged on the altar. She was middle-aged, and there was a sacred and dark presence about her. Her originally shut eyes suddenly opened at that moment.
