The second layer of Old Man Extermination's tomb was the ground. The ground there was the same as the ever-changing sky. There were all sorts of terrains. There were mountains, plains, abysses, rivers, lakes, and even oceans. All sorts of terrains existed on the ground, making anyone who looked at it feel as if they had seen all the worlds in the world.
A volcano erupted in the distance. When magma flowed, black fog spread through the area. The place where Su Ming had descended was where a volcano had erupted.
Su Ming did not bother himself with the volcano. He pushed his right hand against the ground, and the spirits charged towards the ground with a howl. They turned into a vortex, and as they spun rapidly, they touched the ground like an awl, causing the ground to tremble. Cracks instantly appeared on it.
To Su Ming, he did not need to know how to enter the next layer. He would use his own method to break through all the barriers. There were not many people in the world who could do this, and Su Ming had the right to do so.
As the strongest of his aeon, Su Ming had learned far too many secrets. He might have been confused about the future, but he did not show a single hint of respect. Instead, his fighting spirit burned in him.
At that moment, the ground trembled. Cracks spread out rapidly, and loud booming sounds reverberated in the air. Su Ming stood on the volcano. From the moment he appeared, the volcano no longer continued erupting. It was as if Su Ming's appearance had caused the volcano to not dare erupt.
In fact, the countless ferocious beasts living in the second layer hid themselves while shuddering. They did not dare to reveal even a hint of their presences. Su Ming's descent brought an incredibly mighty pressure to the ferocious beasts, causing them to feel the threat of death.
In just the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, a shocking boom spread through the area. The ground trembled, and a huge gap appeared. At the instant it was formed, a vast presence spread out from it. At the instant Su Ming sensed it, his pupils shrank.
That presence contained a powerful will that did not belong to Harmonious Morus Alba. It was in disarray, and if Su Ming had not seen it with the Art of Time, he would have found it difficult to recognize that this presence … belonged to the endless vast presence beyond Harmonious Morus Alba.
Su Ming stared at the gap. After a moment of pensive silence, he swung his arm and stepped in. When he reappeared, he was in the third layer of Old Man Extermination's tomb.
Almost at the same time Su Ming stepped in, Zi Ruo gritted her teeth and also stepped into the gap.
This was the third layer of Old Man Extermination's tomb, and it was also the final layer. It was also the place where the Relocation Rune was located. There was a vast expanse around it, and it looked boundless. It gave Su Ming an incredibly familiar feeling. It was incredibly similar to the one he saw with the Art of Time.
However, there were also differences. Harmonious Morus Alba's presence was contained in this vast expanse, which was why it was not the true vast expanse. Clearly, this was a place where the two worlds converged.
This made Su Ming remember the murals he had seen in the dilapidated hall in Viridian Gods' Expanse Cosmos when time flowed back. The former Viridian God had also stepped into Old Man Extermination's tomb and was Relocated from the Relocation Rune in the third layer. He had personally seen the gap in space and Old Man Extermination coming from the Vast Expanse beyond it.
'If that's the case, then this so-called Old Man Extermination's tomb should have appeared before Old Man Extermination came, but why … did Zi Ruo say that Old Man Extermination was the one who built it?
'And there are four of them …' Su Ming frowned and looked at Zi Ruo, who had followed him. She had followed him all the way, but she had not shown anything out of the ordinary. Even if she was familiar with the place, with the method Su Ming had used to clear the first two layers, there was no need for anyone to be familiar with the place.
Su Ming thought that Zi Ruo was a little slow, but in truth, she was very intelligent. When she saw Su Ming's gaze, she immediately understood what he was thinking. She knew that she had indeed not shown anything on the way, and if this continued, Su Ming might not let her continue following him.
'If I want to push him down, I must first let him know of my abilities.' Zi Ruo did not wait for Su Ming to speak. With a glint in her eyes, she lifted her hand, formed a seal, and pointed forward. With it, the shape of a fox appeared behind her. It was a white fox, and at the instant it appeared, it lifted its head, threw its head back, and let out a roar.
As it roared, a white thread appeared in front of Zi Ruo. As it twisted, it spread out, and soon, it turned into a circle. At the same time, the white fox continued roaring, and its tails instantly turned into two, then three, four, five …
When nine tails appeared behind the white fox, nine white threads also appeared in front of Zi Ruo. They intersected with each other and spread out to form a Rune.
Immediately after, the Rune shrank and turned into a white ball of threads the size of a fist. At the same time, nine rays of white light shot out in a flash and spread through the endless space in the area. After some time, when the light disappeared, the white ball of threads instantly swelled up. In the blink of an eye, it was already several dozens of feet big.
Su Ming watched the Rune expand from the moment it appeared, and a pensive look appeared on his face. The white threads that formed the Rune seemed to be a part of the laws in the land. This sort of divine ability that could extract laws no matter where it was had its own mysterious aspects.
"This is the inborn divine ability of the Heavenly Foxes. Senior, please take a look." Zi Ruo's face was slightly pale. Clearly, it was not easy for her to execute this sort of divine ability in this place. As she spoke, Zi Ruo lifted her hand and pointed at the Rune formed by the white threads in front of her.
With it, the Rune that was several dozens of feet big immediately shuddered. When it distorted again, it turned into what seemed to be a 3D picture. The edges of the picture were its borders, and at the center was a ball of white light. Around it was a hazy layer of fog.
This was not a Rune, but a blueprint of the third layer!
The Heavenly Foxes' divine ability allowed them to reveal any place in front of them in this manner, and Zi Ruo was pointing at the white dot at the center of the blueprint.
Almost at the instant Zi Ruo pointed at it, the blueprint that was several dozens of feet big was enlarged again. As it continued enlarging, the white dot at the center became clear. It … was a Rune.
"It's here," Su Ming suddenly said.
Zi Ruo nodded. She lifted her hand and pointed at the enlarged Rune at the center. Immediately, Su Ming noticed a Relocation power appearing around him. The moment it appeared, it spread through the area, and with a bang, it devoured Su Ming and Zi Ruo.
When Su Ming appeared again, there was an ancient Rune under his feet. Zi Ruo stood beside him, and her face was even paler. It could be said that she was the one in charge of this layer. She had first executed her race's divine ability to simulate the blueprint of the place, then Relocated Su Ming. This sort of Art that could be used in any Expanse Cosmos was rare, even for Su Ming.
He nodded at Zi Ruo, and a hint of praise appeared on his face. Then, he lowered his head to observe the ancient Rune under his feet. He did not know that once Zi Ruo noticed the praise on his face, it immediately lifted her spirits.
That feeling was as if she had eaten some medicinal core that provided great nourishment. Zi Ruo's heart was filled with excitement, as if obtaining Su Ming's praise was already the first step to success for her.
'Sooner or later, I will definitely push you down!' Zi Ruo clenched her fists and swore in her heart. She had already made quite a number of such oaths on the way here, and her heart became even more determined.
When Zi Ruo saw Su Ming observing the Rune under his feet, she cast a glance at it and said gently, "This is a long-distance Relocation Rune. It should have existed for at least tens of thousands of years."
"Do you understand Runes?" Su Ming lifted his head and cast Zi Ruo a glance.
"I know a thing or two." Zi Ruo might have said that, but there was a hint of confidence on her face. When Su Ming saw it, he felt that the woman before him might be a little slow, but there was something cute about her.
"Tell me about it." Su Ming stared at Zi Ruo. He had to admit that he was not skilled in Runes, and he was not as skilled as Hu Zi, but judging by the woman's confidence, she seemed to be very confident.
"There are many types of Runes, and Relocation Runes are a rather unique type among them, but no matter what kind of Relocation Rune it is, its only use is Relocation." When Zi Ruo spoke of Runes, confidence appeared on her face, and it made her even more beautiful.
"Since it's a Relocation Rune, unless there is no specific location, then there is another point. When the two points are connected together, it becomes a Relocation Rune.
"It is divided into one-way and two-way Relocation Runes. You can tell from the structure of the Rune that no matter how complicated a Relocation Rune is, it is complicated to hide whether the Relocation Rune is a two-way Relocation Rune or not.
"Look at this Rune. It might be ancient and complicated, but in truth, based on the circuits, you can tell that this is a two-way Relocation Rune! "Look at the structure of the Rune. The person who set it up in the past tried to cover it up. He used complexity and excess to hide the truth, but in truth … the Relocation Rune should be … Hmm?" While Zi Ruo looked at the Rune, she suddenly stopped speaking.
"This is an Interface Rune! This Relocation Rune will Relocation the people in it to another Expanse Cosmos. This is … strange. This Expanse Cosmos doesn't belong to Dark Dawn, Saint Defier, and neither does it belong to Arid Triad … "Zi Ruo frowned. When she mumbled to herself, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
"Activate the Rune. We'll Be Relocated to another Expanse Cosmos.
With Su Ming by her side, even if they ran into any danger, Zi Ruo was confident that he could resolve it. When she heard his words, she immediately lifted her right hand, and the white nine-tailed fox appeared behind her. When she pushed her right hand against the Rune, it turned into nine rays of white light that instantly fused into the Rune.
The Rune roared. Powerful light instantly spread out and submerged Su Ming and Zi Ruo's figures. After a moment, when the light dimmed and everything returned to normal, the Rune remained as it was, but Su Ming and Zi Ruo had already disappeared without a trace.
…..
"So they're here …" a low murmur came from the hidden ancient ship at the gap leading to the Vast Expanse in the fourth Expanse Cosmos.
There were two pieces of news … The first was that there was only one chapter today, and it would be filled up in the next few days.
The second was good news. Prestige had obtained benefits from certain channels for everyone. In the next ten days, ten signed books, four sets of Immortal Defiant Chinese tunic suits, four PSPs for handheld games, two iPads, and one laptop would all be given out through Prestige. They would not only be given to new readers, but all of them would have a chance to receive them.
It was an unprecedentedly great gift, and it could be said that it was something that no author had been able to do up to that point in time. There would definitely be no shady deals involved, and it would definitely be given to the readers. What are you waiting for?
