'Why isn't there a seventh flash? Since ancient times, the Ancestral Spirits mentioned that there is a disaster known as the Six Flashes. This disaster will only flash six times, and definitely not more!
'But … why is that?' The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe stared at the Six Flashes Disaster gradually disappearing from Yin Death Vortex, and this thought suddenly appeared in his head.
"Su Ming, how much of your True World's life do you have left?" the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe suddenly asked. There was a hint of excitement in his voice, as if he had noticed some sort of secret.
In midair, Su Ming watched the Six Flash Disaster disappear. In truth, the same question appeared in his head. Even though he did not know as much as the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe, he had personally sensed it and knew clearly that if there was a seventh flash, then even if he had a True World clone, his life would come to an end. His True World would wither and die, and Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos would only have three True Worlds left!
That was why once the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe spoke, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. When he looked at the old man, he spoke slowly.
"Nine-tenths!" Su Ming did not hide too much from the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe, and there was no need for him to either. If the old man wanted to know, he would definitely have a way to do so.
"Nine-tenths … Nine-tenths. If there is a seventh flash, then even a True World will not be able to live peacefully under this disaster. The True World will also wither away. That's why … it's not that there is no seventh flash, but that there cannot be one!" As the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe mumbled, a brilliant light shone in his eyes.
"The will that descends on the Antecedental Spirit's disaster can ignore the lives and deaths of all lives. It can ignore the changes in the universe, but it cares so much about whether the True World will wither away … This is … just as I expected.
The one who descends on the Antecedental Spirit's disaster is not someone else. It is … Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos' will! "That's it! It is the disaster!
"It is sleeping. When it sleeps, its will is the Antecedental Spirit's disaster. It will not allow any Antecedental Spirits to exist, which is why it wants to turn into a disaster to wipe them off." As for the sealed Antecedental Spirits … perhaps they have something it needs, and they are being controlled like livestock!
"And it wants to wipe off the Antecedental Spirits because …" The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe had an excited expression on his face. This was the first time he told Su Ming his guess. When he said those words, he paused for a moment, but Su Ming continued.
"It's because it wants to prevent others from Possessing it, because only those who become Antecedental Spirits have the right to Possess Arid Triad's will!" Su Ming's heart trembled, and he said slowly.
"That's right, that's it!" The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe became even more excited. His breathing even quickened slightly, but it was not because his willpower was not strong enough. With his level of cultivation, there were very few things in the world that could make him so excited. If there was truly something that could make him so excited, then it would be the Antecedental Spirit's disaster and Arid Triad's will.
"When it sleeps, it wants to wipe off the Antecedental Spirits, but it also wants to seal them … This means that while it wants to kill the danger, it also needs some Antecedental Spirits to provide it with some sort of help. Then … what happens when it wakes up?" Su Ming suddenly asked.
"After it wakes up …" The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe fell silent, but a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. It allowed Su Ming to immediately understand what the old man did not say.
He thought of the memories he had obtained during his first spirit ascension. Before their era, at the end of another era, there was an old man in white robes who looked at the sky and said those four words.
"It's here …"
Su Ming's pupils shrank. Besides saying those words, the old man had also said that if he was given more time, he would be able to reach a certain Realm. These words had always existed in Su Ming's heart, causing him to be unable to find any clues as to what was going on.
Yet when he heard the old man's words, a guess suddenly appeared in Su Ming's mind.
"When Arid Triad's will fell asleep, to prevent itself from being Possessed, it wiped off the Antecedental Spirits. When it wakes up … it wants to destroy all of Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos so that there will no longer be any lives or civilization in it so that Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos can have a new beginning.
"Why did it do this..? Based on the old man's words, could it be that once Arid Triad's will woke up, it turned into the Arid Disaster and destroyed everything to search for …
"It searched for a life that could reach a certain Realm in this aeon. Over countless aeons, it continued searching and destroying, but perhaps it never found that person …" Su Ming's heart trembled. He looked at the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe, but he did not voice his guess. Instead, another question rose in his heart.
"Why is Arid Triad's will weakened in this place?" Su Ming asked slowly.
"Before I came here, I had always been thinking about it. All forms of life in the world have their mortal enemies. It's impossible for them to live forever, and it's the same for the Arid Disaster.
"But I couldn't find the mortal enemy of Arid Triad's will … When I came here, I could clearly sense that there was something different about this place, especially in the depths of Yin Death Vortex. I could sense that there was also a will there.
"But that will wasn't asleep. It had shattered. In fact, I could even sense the remnants of that will on you … That will could make my heart feel an unprecedented calmness, but even so, I didn't think too much about it. Even if the three ancient existences who called themselves Servants of Morus Alba made that feeling become even stronger, I still didn't think too much about it.
"Only … at the instant you brought the entire land of Berserkers out of Yin Death Vortex and your Antecedental Spirit's disaster descended did I come to an understanding. Your Antecedental Spirit's disaster should have been brought forward, but because you were in Yin Death Vortex, it didn't appear.
"At that time, I had a feeling that there was some sort of strange power contained in the shattered will in the depths of this place. When … we returned to the vortex and the Antecedental Spirit's disaster descended, Arid Triad sank into an eternal state of stillness … but everything in Yin Death Vortex remained the same.
"At that time, I came to an understanding. Perhaps … the mortal enemy of Arid Triad's will is in this place!" Excitement shone in the eyes of the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. He stared at Su Ming, then at the depths of Yin Death Vortex, which was as dark as an abyss.
"The secret in that place is not something I can pry into. The resistance there is so great that I tried before, but it was difficult for me to enter. Only you!
"Only you are different. The resistance you face is clearly much smaller, which is why I am certain that you have some sort of connection with the shattered will in that place.
"And only you … can enter the true depths of Yin Death Vortex and unravel the answer to this question!" The old man's breathing quickened. When his words echoed in space, Su Ming's heart trembled. At that moment, loud booming sounds suddenly came from above Yin Death Vortex again. As they reverberated in space, the fourth disaster of the Antecedental Spirit descended.
"As expected, there is a fourth disaster. If that's the case, then the Antecedental Spirit's disaster you need to go through is definitely not an ordinary disaster. Instead … it is a disaster from the three directions of heaven, earth, and man! "The first three disasters are the Man Disaster, the middle three are the Earthly Disaster, and the final disaster … is the Heavenly Disaster!
"And based on my understanding, once the Earthly Disaster appears, it will not appear one by one like the Man Disaster. Instead, three disasters will descend in one go. Only then can it be said to be … the Earthly Disaster that surpasses the Man Disaster!" As the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe spoke, he lifted his head and swung his arm. A brilliant light shone in his eyes.
"Senior, do you know what the Earthly Disasters are?" Su Ming asked in a low voice while staring at the spot where the booming sounds came from above the vortex.
"The fourth disaster, the Nine Deaths Disaster. The fifth disaster, the Five Evils of Earth's Withering. And the sixth disaster … the Disaster of Emptiness! "These three disasters are no longer something you can fight against. They are disasters that can only be handled by those who have gone through three to six Antecedental Spirits!
"You can sense it first. If anything goes wrong, I will immediately help you get through it," the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe said slowly. If it was before, he might have attacked straightaway, but now that Su Ming had become stronger, the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe wanted to help him. He wanted Su Ming to endure the disasters until he reached his limit. By doing so, it would be incredibly beneficial to his development in the future.
The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe knew that this time … he might die in the disaster. It would be best if he did not die, but he had to be prepared to die. And Su Ming … was the hope he had gathered together. One day, he would be able to fight against Arid Triad.
That was why the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe would not be stingy if he could make Su Ming grow faster.
"Su Ming, the number of disasters you can get through with your own power is the number of times you can try to have your spirit ascend without the disaster of an Antecedental Spirit descending on you. This chance is incredibly rare. You must bring out all your cultivation base and seize this … serendipity within the disaster!" The old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe looked at Su Ming with encouragement and expectation in his eyes. His expression was incredibly sincere.
This was the first time he showed such a sincere expression to Su Ming. When Su Ming saw it, he nodded. He knew that the old man was not lying. He had gone through three disasters, and he could indeed go through his third spirit ascension. Logically speaking, if he could successfully get through the fourth disaster, he could go through his fourth spirit ascension!
Almost at the instant Su Ming looked above the vortex, an indescribably great will descended from above Yin Death Vortex with a loud bang. That will brought with it a domineering air as well as a supreme, awe-inspiring might. When it descended, it moved with an unstoppable force and chased away all the fog in the vortex.
At the instant it descended, the will did not turn into corporeal form. It seemed to be intangible, but at the instant it filled Yin Death Vortex, it filled the area around Su Ming.
A murmur echoed in the will. It sounded like the murmurs of a person in their sleep. When it echoed in the air, it brought with it an indescribable presence. It was as if the words spoken by the voice contained some strange power that could … make everything come true!
"Hands … and feet … turn … green …"
These were the first words spoken by the voice. At the instant it echoed in Su Ming's ears, his hands and feet turned green!
