He was once his best friend, his childhood friend.
"Su Ming, I'm telling you, in the future, I, Lei Chen, will become the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe. You have to work hard to become the Elder. At that time, if anyone dares to bully us …"
"It's fine even if you can't reach the Berserker Realm. Don't worry, Lei Chen will protect you in the future."
"Um … Su Ming, what do you think of this girl? I think I quite like her …"
"Will our future change..?"
The words that echoed in his memories were now a sword away from him, and they made him sigh softly in the midst of the complicated emotions in his heart.
Lei Chen's expression was no longer complicated. He looked at Su Ming with clear eyes and said softly, "He's my father."
"I won't kill him." Su Ming was silent. After a long while, he spoke softly. No matter how strong his killing intent was, with Lei Chen around … Su Ming could not bring himself to attack.
In truth, from the moment he saw Lei Chen in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos, Su Ming had already come to some conclusions, because he had sensed the presence of the other half of the Seed of Life Extermination that Su Xuan Yi had taken away. When he stepped into the Emperor of Abyss' True World, all the answers were revealed.
It was naturally impossible for Yu Xuan to be Su Xuan Yi's son. She was only the wife Su Xuan Yi had prepared for his son, a vessel to nourish the other half of the Seed of Life Extermination. She was the same as Su Ming.
Then it could only be the third prince who had appeared beside Yu Xuan at that moment to hold the wedding ceremony — Lei Chen.
He was Su Xuan Yi's true son!
Lei Chen looked at Su Ming. Once he heard his words, he closed his eyes. At the instant he did so, Su Ming took a step forward and instantly shot through Lei Chen's body to appear in front of Su Xuan Yi. He swung the sword in his right hand.
Purple light surged into the sky and instantly dyed the world purple. When it disappeared, Su Xuan Yi's face turned pale, and he staggered a few steps backwards.
Purple light spread out from his body, and his expression turned even more sour. He could clearly sense that as the purple light spread out, his body was becoming weaker. At that moment, Su Ming's will swept through the area and turned into a sharp will that pierced Su Xuan Yi's mind through his eyes.
Su Xuan Yi seemed to have turned into venous pathways. As Su Ming's will pierced into them, purple light spread out along them. During the first instant … there was a cave abode in a tall mountain on a remote cultivation planet in the Emperor of Abyss' True World. There was a figure dressed in a long robe sitting in it. At that moment, when he lifted his head, an old face was revealed, but there was purple light shining in his eyes.
He was one of Su Xuan Yi's clones. At that moment, purple light shone in his eyes, and an invisible hand stretched out from the purple light to push down on the top of the old man's skull. He could not dodge it, and with a loud bang, the old man's body shuddered before he disappeared into thin air. His body and soul were destroyed …
During the second instant, in a huge group of palaces in True Sacred Yin World was a middle-aged man with an awe-inspiring expression. He stared at the people beneath him coldly, and just as he was about to say something, his body suddenly jolted, and purple light surged into the sky from his eyes. Under the astonished gazes of the cultivators beneath him, Su Ming's hand stretched out from the purple light and casually pushed down on the center of the middle-aged man's brows. A loud bang reverberated in the air, and the middle-aged man's body shuddered before he shattered into pieces.
During the third instant, in the huge vortex in the depths of the Emperor of Abyss' True World was a place where a new Origin Spirit was about to be born. It did not matter whether it was Su Xuan Yi's real body or his clone, at that moment … his body shuddered. He did not open his eyes, as if he knew that once he did, purple light would spread out. The figure moved, and just as he was about to leave, purple light spread out from his body. It turned into Su Ming's gentle palm, which he could not dodge. When it landed on his forehead, cracking sounds of his forehead shattering inch by inch reverberated in the air. Once the purple light disappeared, everything turned into nothingness.
During the fourth instant, beside Su Xuan Yi's wife's corpse in the fifth kiln was the aloof man who had been meditating quietly for many years. At that moment, he sighed softly and opened his eyes, allowing the purple light in his eyes to envelop the space around him. He simply allowed Su Ming's hand to appear in the purple light and press down on the center of his brows. His years of protection came to an end on that day …
During the fifth instant, in an incredibly dangerous place located even further away from Black Ink Planet in Divine Essence Star Ocean was an old man with disheveled hair. He was thin and shriveled, and there was a thick aura of death spreading out from his body. He was sitting cross-legged in a Rune.
That Rune was incredibly ancient, as if it was a seal that suppressed everything within it. The old man seemed to be surrounded by an aura of death, but there was a hint of life force within him that never disappeared. However, this was not what was strange about the old man. The truly bizarre thing was that there was a mummy lying behind him!
That mummy had been dead for an unknown number of years, but it was stuck tightly to the old man's back, constantly absorbing the old man's life force. It would even absorb the aura of death, as if it was a parasite …
There was pain on the old man's face, as if he had been living like this for an unknown number of years. However, at that instant, the old man's eyes flew open. There was no panic in the purple light in his eyes, only crazed joy that seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
As the purple light shone, Su Ming's right hand shot out from the depths of the Rune and pressed down on the center of the old man's brows. The old man forced down the excitement in his heart and did not dodge, simply allowing the palm formed by Su Ming's will to crush the old man's body to pieces. His body and soul were destroyed …
When the purple light disappeared, the masterless mummy opened its eyes and let out a piercing, crazed roar filled with ruthlessness and madness towards the Rune.
The sixth instant, the seventh instant …
Su Xuan Yi's clones were all crushed by Su Ming's will at that instant. They were completely wiped off, leaving behind only the body that was retreating with an increasingly pale face. Su Ming did not wipe off that body. He had promised Lei Chen that he would let Su Xuan Yi live.
But as for how he could survive, Su Ming chose to wipe off all of Su Xuan Yi's clones. Even if Su Xuan Yi's real body was among them, to Abyss Builders, even if their real bodies died, their clones could still use some unique methods to survive.
Once he finished doing all of this, Su Ming cast a glance at Su Xuan Yi, whose level of cultivation had plummeted to Heaven Cultivation Realm due to the death of all his clones. He shook his head, turned around, and walked towards Yu Xuan. When he returned to her side, Su Ming tapped the center of her brows lightly with his right hand.
Yu Xuan still stared at Su Ming. She did not move away and simply allowed his finger to land on her. Su Ming's will surged into her body, and once it circulated through her body once, the Seed of Life Extermination, which looked like half a ship, was extracted from Yu Xuan's body after Su Ming cut off his connection with her.
When Su Ming saw the large number of squirming tentacles surrounding the Seed of Life Extermination when it was brought out, disgust appeared on his face. He had also had this item in the past. Once he brought it out, he flung it at Lei Chen.
The half of the Seed of Life Extermination charged towards Lei Chen. At the instant it touched him, it fused into his body and perfectly fused with the other half of the Seed of Life Extermination that Su Ming had been nourishing in Lei Chen's body at that moment, and it became … complete!
"Since your father has done everything he can to obtain this item and has fused with you … then from now on, we will not be able to sort out the grudges between us, be it gratitude or resentment. It would be better for us to let the past go with the wind and let our memories turn into nothing …" Su Ming cast Lei Chen a deep glance, then pulled Yu Xuan to stand in front of his elder. Once he bowed to Yu Xuan with her, the elder smiled.
"Elder, let's … go home," Su Ming said softly.
The elder's smile became even more amiable. He nodded, and the three of them stepped into the air. When they walked out of the ancient tree, Su Ming's low voice reached the Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei's ears.
"Ten years later, wait for me at Arid Triad's gap."
Lei Chen stared at Su Ming's back with a dejected expression.
"Su Ming …"
Su Ming's footsteps came to a halt. When he turned his head around, Lei Chen's voice traveled into his ears with an indecipherable tone.
"I will tell you the answer I gave you in the past now. I don't want to change …" Lei Chen shuddered lightly. He stared at his companion, his best friend, and mumbled under his breath.
"But you … have already changed." There seemed to be a profound look in Su Ming's eyes, as if he had seen through everything. Perhaps he had not noticed much when Su Ming came, but when the red figure appeared, Su Ming already knew his answer.
In the end, he destroyed Su Xuan Yi's clone. Instead of saying that he had ended his grudge, it would be more accurate to say that it was part of Su Xuan Yi's plan.
He wanted to use Su Ming's power to cut off Su Xuan Yi's predicament. As for whether Lei Chen had told Su Xuan Yi that Su Ming had gone to Harmonious Morus Alba, Su Ming did not want to think about it. It was just as he said, he would treat it as nothing. From then on, they would be strangers, and if Lei Chen did not provoke him, he would not meet him.
"This is the Su Xuan Yi I know." When Su Ming turned his head around, he swept his gaze past Lei Chen. He saw Su Xuan Yi, who had a calm expression, but whose eyes contained the same profound look as Su Ming's own. The two of them met each other's gazes for an instant.
Su Ming left with Yu Xuan and his elder. He walked out of the tree crown. Behind him, the one million cultivators wrapped their fists in their palms and bowed to him. They were bowing to Su Ming for saving their lives.
"Wait." Once Su Ming walked out of the ancient tree, the one million cultivators bowed to him, Lei Chen had a gloomy and complicated look on his face, and Su Xuan Yi's calm and profound gaze froze again.
He turned his head around, but this time, he did not look at the tree crown. Instead, he looked at the elegant young man beside the ancient tree. At that moment, the young man was looking at Su Ming.
At the instant their gazes met, a smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He looked at the young man, the sea, and the ancient tree before he spoke softly to Yu Xuan and his elder.
"I'm going to meet an elder. Wait for me … for a while."
As Su Ming spoke, he walked towards the ancient tree. A smile appeared on the young man's face as he watched Su Ming walk over.
This scene took place beyond the sea, and the ancient tree was so green that it seemed to connect to the sky.
