The elder stared at the chessboard. There was a smile on Yu Xuan's face as she sat beside Su Ming. Her expression was incredibly focused as she stared at the chessboard. When Su Ming spoke, a cunning look appeared in her eyes. She lifted her hand to tuck a lock of hair that danced in the wind behind her ear, and suddenly, Cang Lan let out a soft cough.
"Elder." The elder lifted his head. At the instant his gaze landed on Cang Lan, Yu Xuan put down her hand and gently moved the elder's white piece on the chessboard.
"Elder, there are quite a number of Berserkers who want to come and greet you. Do you think we should have them come over the next few days?" Cang Lan's expression remained the same. Not a single hint of change could be detected on her face. She spoke gently to the elder with an incredibly respectful expression.
"Go and make arrangements … for this." The elder smiled amiably. As he spoke, he instinctively lowered his head to look at the chessboard. A smile appeared on Xu Hui's face as she stood beside Su Ming. She swept her gaze past Cang Lan and Yu Xuan before she immediately spoke.
"Elder, this game of chess will take some time before we can continue. Why don't you tell us about Su Ming's childhood?"
"That's right, elder, tell us about his childhood. Big Sister Cang Lan, don't you think so?" Yu Xuan quickly said. Compared to the gentle and elegant Cang Lan, there was no difference in age between them. Both Yu Xuan and Xu Hui addressed Cang Lan as their big sister.
Xu Hui was second. Yu Xuan gave off a petite feeling regardless of whether it was her personality or the way she usually spoke, which was why she was the youngest among the three women.
The elder laughed and no longer looked at the chessboard. Instead, he lifted his head to look at the three women beside Su Ming, and his smile became even more amiable. The three women each had their own merits, and all of them were prodigies. The elder stared at them, then at Su Ming, who had his eyes closed at that moment. He happily told them about some of the interesting things that happened when Su Ming was young.
However, he did not know that the chessboard had changed, causing Su Ming's original disadvantage to turn into an advantage.
Su Ming did not pay any attention to any of this. At the instant he closed his eyes, he spread his divine sense outwards and turned it into his will. During that instant … he descended into the Fourth True World.
The Fourth True World was in chaos. Wisps of wills belonging to Antecedental Spirits filled the entire area with a desire to wreak havoc, madness, and an arrogance that made it seem as if they wanted to tear apart the world. When they rose to power, they surrounded the Fourth True World and launched a bloody battle.
Besides the Fourth True World, the battle had also spread to True Sacred Yin World and the Emperor of Abyss' True World. In fact, there were some Antecedental Spirits from the Fourth True World in True Morning Dao World. They roared and laughed madly as they engaged in a battle to the death against those from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. Every single time a cultivator from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier died, the Antecedental Spirits would immediately suck in a suction force and absorb the cultivator's body into their bodies, as if they were devouring him.
In fact … the Antecedental Spirits who had their seals broken and were released from the Fourth True World did not care whether their enemies were from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. Even the cultivators from the other True Worlds were their attackers and food.
Every single time they devoured a cultivator, they would become slightly stronger. Because of that, the Antecedental Spirits who rushed out from the Fourth True World stirred up another disaster in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.
As the cultivators from Arid Triad, Dark Dawn, and Saint Defier continued dying, and the Antecedental Spirits rushed out and slaughtered their way out during the past year, Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos became slightly different from before. Su Ming could sense that as these people died, his will had risen by quite a large margin. Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos was filled with an invisible power that could make a person descend into madness.
It was as if a bloody flower in the apocalypse was continuously spreading and blooming … and Su Ming could clearly sense that the speed at which Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos moved during the past ten years was comparable to the speed at which it had moved seventy to eighty years before the slaughter.
Everything seemed to have become seven times faster!
Only by doing so could the disaster formed by the overlapping of the four wings, which should have taken three thousand something years to form, be reduced to five hundred years.
As Su Ming watched the changes in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, he placed all of it in his heart, as if he had come to understand everything. His heart was calm, and not a single ripple could be detected in it. He knew that one hundred years later, he would face a disaster, and it would come from Arid Triad.
If Su Ming could not get through this disaster, then there would be no need for him to talk about the future. If he could, then five hundred years later, Arid Triad's disaster would arrive. At the instant the wings overlapped, Su Ming would Possess Arid Triad.
He would not choose to work together with Arid Triad. Forget the fact that the choice Arid Triad gave Su Ming was not even a choice, but a seed buried in his heart. One hundred years later, when the seed grew, it would bring about the disaster that would destroy the seal.
Even if Arid Triad truly wanted to work together with Su Ming, Su Ming would not choose to do so … because it was just as he said, his path … was different from Arid Triad's!
When people reached Su Ming and Arid Triad's level of cultivation, they could no longer differentiate between good and evil, and neither could they hate each other. There was … only a battle of wills, where those whose paths were different could not work together.
Originally, Su Ming had not been certain about this … but before he left, he cast three deep glances at the ancient tree in the capital planet of the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Those three glances allowed him to understand karma.
One hundred years later, under the ancient tree, Su Ming would not run away from his promise with Arid Triad. He would go!
It was just like how the green beside the ancient tree seemed to connect to the sky. The green was the sea, and the green was the tree. If Su Ming wanted to connect the sky to the sea, then the sea and the tree would become one …
'Perhaps they were originally one …' Su Ming sighed in his heart. He gathered his will together and no longer thought about these things. Instead, as his will spread out, it instantly filled all of Arid Triad. Even if True Sacred Yin World's will did not belong to Su Ming and the Fourth True World's will rejected him, with the great strength of Su Ming's will from the four Great True Worlds, he instantly suppressed the two great wills, causing them … to not dare reveal their presences. Instead, they temporarily allowed Su Ming's will to sweep through their True Worlds.
To the east of the Fourth True World was a huge swamp in the galaxy. It gave off a bloody stench, and there were countless corpses soaking in it. There were cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, as well as cultivators from Arid Triad. In fact, there were dozens of people who belonged to Ninth Summit's branch sect. They had already lost their lives. As their bodies soaked in the swamp, they were slowly rotting and being absorbed. Nearly thirty thousand cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier surrounded the swamp. All of them had wary expressions on their faces. Under the lead of three Antecedental Spirits belonging to them, they were fighting against the swamp with their divine abilities.
As booming sounds echoed in the air, a face appeared in the swamp. There was a ferocious look on it as it stared at the cultivators around it.
"All of you … must … die!" As a muffled roar echoed in the air, the swamp swiftly grew larger, but at that moment, an aura caused the minds of the thirty thousand cultivators to instantly go blank. Even the three Antecedental Spirits from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier looked as if their souls had been frozen, and they lost all consciousness. The huge swamp shuddered, and the face on it swiftly lifted its head to stare at space. Its pupils shrank, and shock appeared in them.
"Who is it?! Who are you?!"
When his roars echoed in the air, a cold harrumph traveled forth. Soon after, a hand appeared in space. It was not big, and when it pushed down gently, the swamp immediately roared. Its body started drying up right before everyone's eyes, and a large number of cracks instantly appeared on its body. When banging sounds echoed in the air, nearly four-tenths of its body crumbled.
"I, Su Ming, do not care about killing the cultivators from Dark Dawn, Saint Defier, and Arid Triad, but if you provoke Ninth Summit … you will not do it again." When Su Ming's voice reached the Antecedental Spirit's ears, it turned into a deep, intimidating force that caused the swamp to tremble. During that instant, it did not dare to struggle or fight back.
Ninth Summit's name was branded deeply into the Antecedental Spirit's divine sense at that moment, and it became a taboo!
Su Ming's terror shocked the Antecedental Spirit deeply. No matter how mad he was, in the face of this absolute power that could destroy him with a flip of his hand, he could only lower his head and show respect.
In the west of the Fourth True World was a person who looked like a normal person but had two feet that were one hundred feet tall. He was walking through the galaxy. His body looked incredibly uncoordinated and incredibly strange, but there was a terrifying presence spreading out from his body. His hair was a mess, and his upper body was bare. As he moved forward, there was a hint of lust in his smile as he chased after eight cultivators in front of him.
There were three cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier, four from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, and one female cultivator who had joined True Sacred Yin World's Ninth Summit's branch sect three years ago.
As the big-footed monster laughed, he lifted his right hand. It instantly stretched out, and as if a vacuum had been formed, it swiftly sucked in the three cultivators from Dark Dawn and Saint Defier. When they landed on his palm, he tightened his grip, and the three of them were reduced to minced meat with a bang.
When the monster's hand appeared again, the minced meat seemed to have turned into the fiercest Enchanted Vessel that charged towards the remaining five cultivators. The four cultivators from the Emperor of Abyss' True World screamed in pain. The minced meat pierced through their bodies and turned them into a part of the minced meat. As for the female cultivator from Ninth Summit, her face turned pale. The monster's right hand, which was several times larger than its original size, grabbed her. When he placed her in front of him, the lust in his eyes grew stronger.
"Not bad, not bad. You can be a furnace." The monster laughed loudly and tossed the woman into his sleeve. There were thousands of female cultivators in the seemingly small sleeve, and all of them had been captured by him.
When he turned around and was about to leave, the monster's body suddenly jolted. A solemn expression instantly appeared on his face, and his pupils shrank. He stared at a white-robed figure who had appeared behind him at some unknown point of time.
"An Antecedental Spirit like you shouldn't be sealed. You should be wiped off." Su Ming frowned. When he spoke flatly, he took a step forward. The strange man roared. He could sense a great sense of life-threatening danger from Su Ming, and just as he was about to retreat, Su Ming had already walked past him.
As Su Ming left into the distance, the giant shuddered. His head was swiftly separated from his body, and his body instantly withered away. His sleeve was torn to shreds, and when the thousands of female cultivators in it escaped, the monster's body crumbled with a bang. He turned into thousands of wisps of aura that fused into the thousands of women's bodies, becoming the greatest serendipity that allowed their levels of cultivation to increase exponentially.
