The figure formed by the locust screamed shrilly in pain and quickly gave up on escaping. Su Ming's will of an Antecedental Spirit had replaced the will of the universe, and it was a strength that the locust could not fight against. It was a suppression of a superior life form, and it was impossible for anyone whose level of cultivation was much higher than Su Ming's.
As his body trembled, the locust quickly bowed to Su Ming and begged for mercy. In his eyes, as long as he did not die, he would have a chance to escape. As long as Su Ming did not kill him, he would have hope in the future.
More importantly, he only had three-tenths of his true form when he was at his peak. The clone formed by the remaining seven-tenths of his power was currently in another True World. As long as he did not die, even if he temporarily submitted to Su Ming, once his true form recovered and gathered together again, he would still have a chance to fight against Su Ming!
But if his body was killed, then even if his true form recovered in the future, it would be impossible for him to return to his peak. To him, this would be the greatest blow.
When the locust begged for mercy, Su Ming cast him a cold glance with a calm expression. When he did so, the locust's heart suddenly let out a thump against his chest. He felt as if all his thoughts had been revealed by Su Ming, and he had been seen through clearly. It was as if he was completely naked. This feeling caused the locust's heart to tremble. He quickly forced out a smile, but just as he was about to speak …
"What would I gain from sparing your life?" Su Ming asked flatly.
When he said those words, the locust's spirits lifted. As long as he did not die, he was willing to pay any price.
"I can split myself into several parts and help you fight on the battlefield …" When the locust said those words, he saw the impatience on Su Ming's face. His heart shuddered for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and swung his right arm. Immediately, a black crystal appeared on his palm.
"This is a treasure whose name I do not know. I obtained it by chance, but I do not know its effects. Senior, your level of cultivation is monstrous, and as an Antecedental Spirit, you should have some understanding of this item. I will use this item … in exchange for your kindness in not killing me." Right after the locust figure finished speaking, his expression changed. His right hand was pried open by an invisible force, and the black crystal in his palm flew out against his will. It turned into a long arc that charged towards Su Ming.
Su Ming lifted his right hand and grabbed the black crystal. When he swept his gaze past it, a hint of uncertainty rose in his heart. The black crystal might seem unfamiliar, but there was a hint of familiarity within it, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He put away the black crystal without batting an eyelid, then looked at the locust again and shook his head.
"It's not enough."
The figure of the locust was not alarmed. Instead, he was delighted. Su Ming did not say that he was dissatisfied, and neither did he show any intention to continue killing him. Instead, he said that it was not enough, which meant that there was hope. Yet even though there was hope, Su Ming's act of shaking his head still caused the figure of the locust's heart to clench in pain.
He gritted his teeth again, then lifted his right hand and swung it. Immediately, a yellowish object that looked like a medicinal core appeared on his palm. When it appeared, a sweet fragrance spread out from it, causing all those who smelled it to feel their spirits lift.
"This is … a treasure I obtained after I killed a powerful enemy. I will give it to you, senior. I hope you will like it …" The figure of the locust endured the pain in his heart and gave the yellowish medicinal core in his hand to Su Ming. When it floated in front of him, Su Ming swept his gaze over it.
"This should be a Demonic Core. You also have a Demonic Core, right?" Su Ming asked faintly.
When he said those words, the locust figure's expression changed swiftly. He did not expect that Su Ming would recognize this item. It was indeed a Demonic Core. Before he descended to Arid Triad, he had obtained it from a powerful enemy he killed in Dark Dawn. However, there were few Antecedental Spirits in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos who could recognize this item.
"Senior, I have never heard of this before. Is this a Demonic Core? What is a Demonic Core?" The locust figure forced a smile onto his face. He instinctively wanted to take a few steps back, but at that moment, Su Ming lifted his head. A cold sneer appeared at the corners of his lips, and he took a swift step forward.
"You said that you wouldn't kill me!" Terror appeared on the locust figure's face. As he screamed, he charged backwards, but no matter how fast he was, he could not outrun Su Ming. With one step, Su Ming appeared right in front of the locust figure. He did not stop and rammed his body into the locust figure.
A loud bang shot into the air. The locust figure could not dodge at all. When Su Ming rammed into him, his body instantly crumbled. When he turned into a large number of locusts, Su Ming looked as if he had pierced through his body. After an instant, a brown Demonic Core appeared in Su Ming's left hand!
Shrill roars came from the crumbling locusts around him, but they did not dare get close to Su Ming. Instead, with a bang, they fled in all directions. However, the locusts Su Ming had summoned previously let out the same piercing screech at that moment. They rushed towards the locusts and engaged in a slaughter.
If Su Ming was not by the side, then the locusts belonging to him would definitely not be his opponent, but he was. The universe in the area had been replaced by him and turned into the will of an Antecedental Spirit. Because of that, it was impossible for the locusts belonging to him to lose.
The brutal devouring and biting only lasted for around a dozen breaths before the locust formed by the figure was completely destroyed. The locusts that belonged to Su Ming were full of energy at that moment. Each of them had devoured quite a large number of their own kind, and they had become even stronger.
At that moment, the locusts surrounding Su Ming stared at the brown Demonic Core in his hand with greed, but they did not dare get close to him. They could only let out cries of desire in the area.
Su Ming swept his gaze past the brown Demonic Core in his hand. His vast divine sense descended on the Demonic Core with the will of an Antecedental Spirit. Once he wiped off all the will in it, he threw it forward, and the locusts around him immediately rushed forward with a buzz. Once they surrounded the Demonic Core, they turned into small balls that did not match their numbers and size before they returned to Su Ming's hand.
Once Su Ming finished doing all of this, he turned his head around to look at the hundreds of thousands of cultivators from New Dao Sect, as well as the dozens of Almighties standing before them, who were trembling at that moment.
When Su Ming looked over, all the cultivators from New Dao Sect who saw his gaze felt their hearts tumble, and booming sounds rang out continuously in their heads.
Everything just now had happened too quickly, and the turn of events left them in disbelief. New Dao Sect was supposed to invade them, and Ninth Summit was supposed to be on the verge of being destroyed, but in the blink of an eye, as this person appeared out of nowhere like a nightmare, everything … had been completely reversed.
If Su Ming had instantly killed their Sect Master with just one gaze and a cold harrumph, then they would have been unable to accept it for a moment. Then the eight yellow-robed cultivators' bodies crumbling, the locusts that turned into figures that begged for mercy continuously until they were wiped off by Su Ming with a single step, and the buzzing of locusts that filled the sky just now. All of this caused the cultivators of New Dao Sect to tremble, and when they looked at Su Ming, their gazes were filled with indescribable terror.
At that moment, when Su Ming looked towards them, a small half of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators immediately knelt down in great fear. Their kneeling immediately caused all the people in the area to kneel down as well. In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of thousands of cultivators knelt down simultaneously, bringing out Su Ming's strength and his presence, which was as great as a tidal wave.
His presence turned into a mighty pressure, causing the dozens of Almighties from New Dao Sect in front of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators to quietly lower their heads and choose to kneel down and submit to Su Ming.
From the start until the end, Su Ming did not say a single word to these people. At that moment, when they knelt down and worshiped him, Su Ming looked at his eldest senior brothers. Second senior brother smiled faintly and took a step forward.
"I will handle this matter. Youngest junior brother, this matter isn't over yet. Besides us, there is another force of power in True Morning Dao World. They call themselves South Union, and they are on the other side of the whirlwind. A few months ago, we noticed them moving through the whirlwind towards us."
"South Union …" Su Ming nodded and smiled at his second senior brother.
"That's right, it's that South Union. Youngest junior brother, why don't I go with you and destroy them?" Hu Zi smiled honestly and patted his chest, causing banging sounds to echo in the air.
"Hu Zi, focus on breaking the Rune. You don't need to come with us." Eldest senior brother's slightly intimidating voice echoed in the air. Hu Zi had an anguished look on his face, but he did not dare refute him. With a sigh, he looked towards Su Ming.
"Youngest junior brother, you can handle the matter regarding South Union. Once you're done … since you already have this level of cultivation, perhaps we should go back … to Yin Death Region!" Eldest senior brother slowly tightened his grip around his battle axe. A powerful murderous aura spread out from his body, and it gathered together to turn into determination. This was the first time he mentioned returning to Yin Death Region. He had not mentioned it previously because he believed that even if the four of them worked together, they would not be able to fight against him in terms of their levels of cultivation. But now … it was different.
Su Ming nodded. Once he wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards his eldest senior brother, he cast a glance at his second senior brother, who was smiling at him. With one move, he charged into the air. The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe followed behind him with an apathetic expression. His figure had only appeared at the very beginning, but what caused Su Ming's heart to tremble was that he could not see the old man in other people's eyes.
It was as if he did not exist.
"They can't see me," the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said faintly, as if he had seen through Su Ming's question.
"Senior, you mentioned that there are quite a number of Great Abyss Tribe's will to make the Abyss grow in this Expanse Cosmos. What do you mean by that?" Su Ming took a step forward and approached the area beyond the whirlwind where Arid Triad's gap was located. Once he sat down cross-legged, he asked the question languidly.
