Sixteen candles, fourteen candles … Soundless booming sounds echoed in Su Xuan Yi's soul. He could clearly sense that the Candle Flame Rune he had set up in the Emperor of Abyss' True World had reached its end, but Su Ming did not weaken. Instead, as Su Xuan Yi retreated and continued pushing forward, the Candle Flame Rune swiftly grew larger as if it was trying to devour him.
"Damn it!" Su Xuan Yi was forced back. He might have been certain that Su Ming was an Antecedental Spirit, and if that was not the case, it would have been impossible for Su Xuan Yi to do this, but he found it to be too ridiculous. After all, Su Xuan Yi had been plotting for years, but he still could not enter the world where All Spirits Hall was. He could not ascend to become an Immortal, or else he would not have been in such a pathetic state.
He had chosen another path to become an Antecedental Spirit. He wanted to Possess True Morning Dao World, enslave the Predecessor of Dao Ocean, seize its Precedence, and attain enlightenment. But when Su Ming launched a powerful and invasive attack, Su Xuan Yi's plan crumbled completely.
'Oh well …' Su Xuan Yi sighed in his heart. There was no way he could change this. True Morning Dao World was destined to no longer belong to him. The preparations he had made over the years were also destined to turn into a serendipity for Su Ming. Even though he felt aggrieved and was incredibly unwilling to admit defeat, Su Xuan Yi's ambitious and ruthless personality made the thought of leaving rise in his heart once he determined that he could not change the situation.
Possessing True Morning Dao World was just a part of his plan. If he succeeded, everything could continue developing, but even if he failed, Su Xuan Yi had other backup plans. He could give up on True Morning Dao World and Possess the Emperor of Abyss' True World.
However, even though the unwilling Su Xuan Yi chose to leave, when Su Ming's soul attacked him, his divine thought shone, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes. His hatred for Su Ming had never been before, and it was incredibly strong.
'Even if I am bound to be unable to participate in the battle of Possession … I will not let you have an easy time. Since I can't Possess you and True Morning Dao World's will has made preparations, then even if I try to Possess you again, it will definitely be more difficult because it will be on guard against me. If that's the case … then I won't let you succeed!' With a single thought, Su Xuan Yi's soul moved back again amid the booming sounds. At that moment, he had only occupied nearly a tenth of True Morning Dao World …
"Extinguish the fire of the netherworld, ignite the will of life, become an inextinguishable fierceness, seal this … evil will!!" At the instant Su Xuan Yi's voice echoed in the air, thirteen of the remaining fourteen oil lamps in the Emperor of Abyss' True World were extinguished. Once they were extinguished, the light from the final oil lamp instantly reached an indescribably piercing degree. It practically rushed out of the palace and spread out in all directions.
At the same time, the ten million cultivators in the Emperor of Abyss' True World who had prepared themselves for Su Xuan Yi's Possession coughed up blood at the same time. All of them immediately became dispirited, and nearly a third of them were reduced to ashes, as if they had been burned to ashes by an invisible flame.
As three-tenths of the cultivators died and all the cultivators became dispirited, their life force surged with a great amount of power and turned into nourishment for the flames that surged into the heavens. Once it turned into endless light, it fused into True Morning Dao World and Su Xuan Yi's soul, turning into an inextinguishable blaze that turned into a huge wick!
The wick swayed, and the sea of fire around it roared. In an instant, it disappeared in a flash. When it reappeared, it enveloped Su Ming, and with him as the wick, it burned furiously.
"Unfilial son! I'd like to see you continue Possessing me like this, Abyss Seal! " When Su Xuan Yi's voice echoed in the air with hatred, his soul shattered. He had resolutely cut off his soul, which had fused with True Morning Dao World, and by paying the price of having a part of his soul shattered, he cut off his connection with True Morning Dao World and returned to the Emperor of Abyss' True World.
In the palace of the Emperor of Abyss' True World, Su Xuan Yi, who was sitting and meditating, opened his eyes. A large amount of red instantly appeared in his eyes. He shuddered, and he coughed up seven mouthfuls of blood in succession. With each mouthful of blood, his body would wither slightly, his presence would weaken slightly, and his face would age slightly.
When he coughed up seven mouthfuls of blood, his body was reduced to only skin and bones. His presence was like gossamer threads, and he was no longer a middle-aged man, but a sullen old man.
"Su Ming!" Su Xuan Yi practically gritted his teeth. He could not accept this. He had prepared for tens of thousands of years to Possess True Morning Dao World, and he had also prepared a dozen something divine abilities and methods to ensure that he had an eight-tenths chance of success.
However, most of these methods required him to light up all seventy-two oil lamps and form an eternal flame so that he could maintain his Undying Soul. He could not use them as he had done previously, but he did not have enough candles, causing him to be unable to execute nearly nine-tenths of the methods he had prepared. There was no way he could accept this.
There was also a hint of regret in his heart. He should have killed Su Ming in the past and should not have listened to Sang's advice. He should have believed that Su Ming was just an ant who no longer had any value to him and should have just let him die on his own.
"If I can't Possess True Morning Dao World, then no one can!" Su Xuan Yi gasped for breath. The destruction of a portion of his soul was an incredibly great burden on him, and it was the same as being heavily injured, but he had to do it. If he did not cut off the part of his soul that had fused with True Morning Dao World and was forced back to devour the remaining one-tenth of his soul, Su Ming would immediately be able to follow his soul and deal irreparable damage to his original soul.
Instead of that, he might as well cut off his own soul. With this as the price, he could seal off Su Ming's path of pursuit and also fight for … a chance to kill Su Ming.
Su Xuan Yi stared at the only one that was still burning among the seventy-two oil lamps in front of him. He stared at the wick, as if he could see Su Ming in it.
A ghastly, ferocious smile appeared at the corners of his lips. He lifted his hands and formed a seal before pointing at the lamp.
When Su Xuan Yi cut off the part of his soul that had fused with the True Morning Dao World, Su Ming sensed a strong sense of life-threatening danger. The sea of fire around him was invisible, and no one could see it, but Su Ming could clearly see that the flames around him were Abyss Flames that could burn all souls.
'Abyss Seal … Abyss Seal …' When Su Ming's soul shone, he noticed that he seemed to have turned into a wick. The sea of fire surrounded him, and it would not stop until it was extinguished.
At that moment, the sea of fire immediately let out a loud roar and swiftly spun around Su Ming. As it made its choice, Su Ming immediately saw what seemed to be two hands in the sea of fire. They seemed to be forming seals, and as they did so, the sea of fire tumbled about several times more violently than before. It charged towards Su Ming with loud rumbling sounds.
"Is this your final move?" Su Ming's soul shone. At the same time he laughed coldly, even though the sense of life-threatening danger grew stronger, even though the sea of fire around him was charging at him with loud booming sounds, and even though his soul was limited to a certain area and could not leave, as if he had truly turned into a wick, he still laughed coldly, and his soul roared.
'If my body does not move, my soul will not perish. If my soul does not perish, my will will not vanish. If my will does not vanish, then the Antecedental Spirit will exist, and as long as the Antecedental Spirit exists, I will not perish!' At the instant Su Ming sent his divine thought outwards, the supreme ring on his right index finger shone with light at the spot where his physical body was seated. Once it flew out on its own, it floated above Su Ming, and light fell on him like rain to envelop his body.
As a hint of power in Avacaniya Realm spread out from the supreme ring, the light from the ring shone on Su Ming's soul, which was trapped in the wick in the distant galaxy. Once it enveloped his soul, the sea of fire around him charged at him with loud booming sounds, but it could not harm him in the slightest. All of them were extinguished by the light from the ring.
Su Ming … was no longer the weak person he was in the past. At that moment, he was an Antecedental Spirit, one of the few powerful warriors in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. Even in the 360 Expanse Cosmoses in Saint Defier and Dark Dawn, he was still a powerful warrior who could rule over an area.
Years of experience had given him a cautious personality, and countless life and death experiences had given him a resolute and ruthless nature. When all of this was gathered together, Su Ming would analyze and make judgments no matter what he did, and he would always prepare a backup plan.
For example, he had not used the supreme ring when he fought against Su Xuan Yi previously because he wanted to be on guard against other accidents.
At that moment, the ring surrounded him, and Su Ming's soul remained unmoving. He was not in a hurry. It was impossible for the fire around him to exist forever. Su Xuan Yi would have to pay a great price to keep it burning, and it would definitely not last for long.
"It won't last … You unfilial son, you might have made preparations, but compared to me, you are still a little too naive. This fire …" Su Xuan Yi stared at the only oil lamp in front of him while he was in the palace in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. A dark, mocking smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"I only need to push on this fire. The power it will burn will not come from my life force, but from you!" Su Xuan Yi formed a seal with his hands and pointed forward. Immediately, the oil lamp let out sizzling sounds, and the wick in it started swaying violently.
At the same time, Su Ming's soul moved swiftly in True Morning Dao World. He noticed that something was off. Not only did the sea of fire around him not decrease, it instantly swelled up once it was extinguished. In fact, it gathered together and turned into two huge hands made of fire. Once they formed a seal, they pointed at him.
Immediately after, Su Ming noticed an invisible fire burning in his soul. It was a fire that came from within him. When it appeared, a vast power that seemed to want to burn Su Ming's soul was immediately stirred up. It was as if he had truly turned into the wick of the lamp, and his soul was the oil on it. Once the fire was ignited, it seemed as if it could not be extinguished. Only when his soul disappeared would the oil in the lamp be extinguished!
At the instant the fire appeared, Su Ming suddenly let out a cold harrumph.
"Dragon of Destruction!"
"My daughter is fine now. Thank you for your continued support over the past few days. Thank you for your concern. I will also let Er Gen know that I am not alone. I have all of you by my side, and no matter what happens and when … we will be together!"
He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed deeply!
