The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe cast Su Ming a glance. He did not speak, but instead sat down cross-legged by the side and closed his eyes.
Su Ming's expression might have seemed as calm as ever, but in truth, a storm was raging in his heart at that moment. It was not because he saw Xu Hui, and neither was it because he had snatched away the will to make the Abyss grow in True Morning Dao World. Instead, it was because he had sensed … Di Tian's presence in Yin Death Region!
Di Tian had clearly died. Su Ming had seen it with his own eyes. He had seen the grudge between Su Xuan Yi and Di Tian end when Arid Triad's gap was torn open.
However, Su Ming was certain that what he had sensed previously was not wrong. The presence he had sensed with his divine sense in a certain dimension in Yin Death Region belonged to Di Tian, and it was much stronger than the Di Tian Su Ming had seen previously.
'A clone! The dead Di Tian was just a clone!' A barely noticeable glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he immediately came to a conclusion regarding this matter.
"Su Xuan Yi thought that he had won, but in reality, the victor between him and Di Tian hasn't been decided yet. The one who died was Di Tian's clone. That was clearly just an attempt by Di Tian. It would be great if he succeeded, but if he failed, he wouldn't suffer any losses. Instead, he hid himself in the dark and could give Su Xuan Yi a fatal blow at a crucial moment!
What a good Di Tian! " A hint of killing intent appeared in Su Ming's eyes. It did not matter whether it was Su Xuan Yi or Di Tian, Su Ming did not have a good impression of either of them. Di Tian was someone Su Ming wanted to kill, and the enmity between them had lasted for many years. There was no longer any need for him to think about the source of the enmity. As for Su Xuan Yi, he had been used multiple times, and at the same time, Su Ming's heart turned cold, he also developed a strong aversion towards him. That aversion gradually turned into killing intent.
'To them, Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos is just a playground. They don't care about Saint Defier and Dark Dawn descending, and they don't care that a gap has appeared in Arid Triad. Since they don't care about this … then their goals must be incredibly shocking!
I can guess what Su Xuan Yi is after. It's nothing more than the Underworld Building, but what exactly is Di Tian after? What gives him the confidence that he can complete his plan once Dark Dawn and Saint Defier descend? " Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He could not guess the reason behind this, but it was definitely related to Yin Death Region.
When he thought of this, Su Ming suddenly remembered the faint feeling he had when he charged his will into Yin Death Region. It was as if Yin Death Vortex had not appeared out of nowhere, but had instead appeared due to some sort of change occurring in the depths of the vortex. Su Ming had a vague feeling that there was a huge connection between this and Di Tian's confidence.
"Why … is he so confident? 'Yin Death Region is connected to Dark Dawn, or else the will there would not have asked me to go to the fifth ocean in Divine Essence Star Ocean in the past and open up a Relocation Rune similar to the one Saint Defier had in the Immortals' Union.
Could it be that Di Tian's confidence came from Dark Dawn? But it was a little hard to explain. After all, Di Tian was the leader of the Immortals' Union, and the Immortals' Union was connected to Saint Defier.
'By the looks of it, Di Tian seems to be in contact with both Dark Dawn and Saint Defier in secret … What is his goal? Where does his confidence come from?' Su Ming fell silent. He could not understand this, but his instincts told him that there was a high possibility that Di Tian's confidence was connected to the strange power that formed the vortex in the depths of Yin Death Vortex.
In silence, Su Ming forced down the waves of shock that had stirred up in his heart when he noticed that Di Tian was still alive. When he lifted his right hand, a black crystal appeared on his palm.
The crystal had been given to him by the locust figure who had descended from Dark Dawn's camp when he begged for mercy. At that time, Su Ming had felt that there was a hint of familiarity in the black crystal. When he looked at it closely, he found that while that feeling was faint, it did indeed exist.
When he held the crystal, a brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. The power of his Atman swiftly spread out and fused into the crystal. The familiar feeling immediately became stronger, but no matter how Su Ming investigated the crystal with his Atman, he found that it was empty. He could not find any clues about it. It was as if the familiar feeling had come out of nowhere, and he could not find the source of it.
After a long while, Su Ming's Atman spread out, and he frowned. His gaze landed on the crystal, and a contemplative look appeared on his face. After a moment, his pupils shrank. He remembered the source of that familiar feeling.
'The Seed of Life Extermination!' Su Ming's heart trembled. That familiar feeling belonged to the Seed of Life Extermination!
"With your God of Berserkers Transformation, use a drop of blood to land on this crystal and take a look." The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe had opened his eyes at some unknown point of time. He also stared at the black crystal in Su Ming's hand, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
A thought appeared in Su Ming's mind. He closed his eyes, and after a moment, when he opened them, wisps of souls appeared around him. They increased in number, and in the blink of an eye, they seemed to be endless. They surrounded Su Ming and formed a huge vortex. As it rotated with loud bangs, the one hundred million Berserkers' souls in it let out soundless roars and charged into Su Ming's body to fuse with him.
His arms, legs, and body were fused with countless souls to form a huge body that was more than one hundred feet tall. Su Ming's cultivation base erupted with a bang, and a presence that shook the sky and earth swiftly swelled up. At the same time, Su Ming swiped his right thumb over his index finger without any hesitation, and a drop of golden blood fell down to land on the black crystal.
Immediately, cracking sounds came from the crystal. At the same time cracks appeared on it, the familiar feeling Su Ming had previously had changed. He did not know the reason behind this change, but he felt that there was now a hint of unfamiliarity in that familiar feeling. When these two feelings intersected with each other, they turned into another feeling that he could not quite put his finger on.
It was as if he had seen a person. That person was incredibly familiar, and he could recognize that person's name, but soon, some changes happened to that person. It was as if some things had been stripped from him, and something else had been added to him, causing the unfamiliar feeling to fall into a daze.
"It's indeed a Spirit Refinement Stone! But it's not complete. Only three of them can form a complete Seed! "the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said slowly as he stared at the black crystal in Su Ming's hand.
"Spirit Refinement Stones are a rare type of spirit stone from the era of Ancestral Spirits. The stone's only use during the era of Ancestral Spirits was to be offered to the Ancestral Spirits of various tribes once they were gathered and used to create their Sacred Vessels!
"The more Spirit Refinement Stones there are, the stronger the Sacred Vessel created will be. The ring on your finger is in truth also created from Spirit Refinement Stones, but there are less than one hundred of them used," the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said faintly after remaining silent for a moment.
"Why did I feel a sense of familiarity with this item?" Su Ming's God of Berserkers Transformation disappeared. Once his body returned to its original state, he looked at the old man.
"I don't know why you felt a sense of familiarity with it, but I do know that there are three great mysteries about this Spirit Refinement Stone. Perhaps once you understand it, you will have your answer.
"This stone contains sentience, and it is the reason why it is used to create the Sacred Vessels of various tribes. If this sentience is given enough time, it might be able to give birth to life. The life that is born can be molded. If you know how to use it, you can change it into whatever form you want it to.
"Also, this stone might seem like a single stone, but in truth, during the era of Ancestral Spirits, all Spirit Refinement Stones had a strange connection with each other. It was as if they were a single entity. If you drip your blood on one of them, you can sense the attraction of your blood on the other Spirit Refinement Stones.
"This also means that you can use a complete Spirit Refinement Stone to find the tribe of your blood and their Sacred Vessel. It doesn't matter where Zhun Ge's Sacred Vessel is or whether it has shattered, you can use this method to find it.
"That is why this characteristic of being able to pass down a legacy makes this stone the best item to create a tribe's Sacred Vessel.
"Also, as long as you have come into contact with a Spirit Refinement Stone before, then when you touch the second one, you will feel a sense of familiarity with it," the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said slowly after casting a glance at Su Ming, then at the Spirit Refinement Stone in his hand.
Su Ming was silent. He stared at the black crystal in his hand, and a strange light shone in his eyes.
The old man's words echoed in his head. Along with the familiarity he felt from the Seed of Life Extermination, Su Ming immediately came to a realization. The so-called Seed of Life Extermination from the black stone fragment in his soul was a Spirit Refinement Stone!
That was why in the beginning, he had felt a faint sense of familiarity from the Spirit Refinement Stone. That feeling came from the Seed of Life Extermination that Su Ming had once possessed!
When he dripped his blood on the stone, that sense of familiarity was mixed with unfamiliarity. That was because Su Ming's blood was on the stone. It was not the blood of an Abyss Builder, but the blood of Su Ming's Berserker Body. It belonged to a Berserker!
In silence, a myriad of thoughts raced in Su Ming's head. Gradually, the truth of his deduction rose in his mind.
An unknown number of years ago, during the disaster of the Antecedental Spirits, which was the world of Successor Spirits, an ancient ship descended from space. The old man on the ship represented Dark Dawn's camp. He had brought some Spirit Refinement Stones to the place, and perhaps it was by accident or on purpose, he had found a few fragments.
The fragments fused with the Spirit Refinement Stone, causing it to change. Perhaps this change had always existed, and the fragments had only been used as nutrients until they turned into the Seed of Life Extermination.
The fragments were originally formed when a Sacred Vessel from a tribe crumbled. Perhaps there were many of them, and the old man had only managed to gather a portion of them …
That tribe was Great Berserker Tribe, and their Sacred Vessel was the Barren Cauldron …
The Seed of Life Extermination was a part of the Barren Cauldron, and the other parts were buried in some unknown corner of the universe … Only those with the blood of the Berserkers, and this blood had to have been baptized by the ancient Great Berserker Tribe, or rather, only those with the blood of an Antecedental Spirit from Great Berserker Tribe could use the Spirit Refinement Stone to find their tribe's Sacred Vessel.
"Great Berserker Tribe's Sacred Vessel is a cauldron. In the past, this item was ranked first among the tribes in Wei, along with Great Abyss Tribe's Nine Swords and Heavenly Spirit Tribe's Chi Shan," the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said slowly with a nostalgic look on his face.
