Su Ming's Arid Curse originated from the Berserkers, and he had gained an epiphany from Ugly Little Thing's father. He was clearly a mortal, but he had created an extraordinary blessing. Then, Su Ming obtained the ring that represented the Curse from Madam Ji's body. When all of these things fused together, Su Ming's understanding of the Curse reached perfection.
It was especially so for his change of heart in the past. He had used the Art of weaving grass ropes as puppets to resolve it and remember it. It could be said that the Curse had accompanied Su Ming his entire life. When he became an Antecedental Spirit, he gathered all his understanding of the Curse together and created … the Arid Curse!
Su Ming had only executed this strange Art that could Curse Arid Triad in the past in front of the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe. Before he could complete it, the old man's expression had already changed. In fact, it had even stirred up the sleeping Arid Triad, causing his real body to show signs of waking up ahead of schedule.
After all, it did not matter whether it was the young man formed by Arid Triad in the flesh tunnel or the person under the tree in the capital planet of the Emperor of Abyss' True World, they were in truth just the manifestation of Arid Triad's will. They were Arid Triad, but they were also not Arid Triad.
They were, because they were indeed the manifestation of Arid Triad's will, and the strength of his will was not that much weaker than the awakened Arid Triad. They were not, because they were the will left behind by the sleeping Arid Triad before he woke up. There was only one use for that will, and that was to destroy all existences that posed a threat to him.
Su Ming's Arid Curse in the past had actually caused Arid Triad's real body to show signs of waking up. It might have been impossible for it to make Arid Triad's sleeping real body wake up, but the fact that it could do so was enough to show just how strong Su Ming's Arid Curse was.
At that time, Su Ming had just become an Antecedental Spirit, but now, he had become the strongest in his aeon. The increase in his level of cultivation and his will was difficult to describe in detail. He could only describe it as the difference between heaven and earth.
Naturally, when Su Ming cast the Arid Curse at that moment, the effects were much stronger than when he had cast it in the past.
As Su Ming's words echoed in the air and he lifted his right hand, he struck the ring. Before Su Ming had become a spirit, this ring was the strongest treasure he had obtained, but now … he had to use this item to break out of his predicament. To Su Ming, this stirred up a killing intent that he absolutely could not tolerate!
He lifted his right hand and drew an arc in the air, causing the fog in the area to churn. As the rumbling sounds spread out, his right hand moved like lightning to touch the ring.
The ring suddenly trembled, and a faint cracking sound instantly rang out. A large number of cracks appeared on the ring, and they spread rapidly until they covered the entire ring … Then, a cracking sound rang out!
The ring shattered right before Su Ming's face the instant he struck it with his right hand!
The shattering of the ring turned into dozens of shards. They spread out in all directions. From the distance, they were still in a circle, but they were a circle that was continuously expanding.
When the ring shattered, threads that could not be seen by others but could be clearly seen by the young man formed by Arid Triad's will spread out from Su Ming's body at the instant the ring shattered.
The young man formed by Arid Triad's will might have been hidden in the fog, but to him, it was as if the fog was transparent. He could clearly see Su Ming throwing out a ring. As he hesitated, Su Ming crushed the ring with his right hand. Then, from all the pores on his body, thirty-six thousand something threads of aura instantly spread out!
This scene caused the pupils of the young man formed by Arid Triad to shrink. A sense of danger instantly rose in his heart. He was in danger to Su Ming, but Su Ming was also in danger to him, or else it would have been impossible for him to have spent so much effort to use the chance to set up a killing trap.
"This is …" The young man formed by Arid Triad moved. He was about to take action, but he was still a step too late. 36,000 wisps of air instantly spread out from Su Ming's body. No one could see them. Once they rushed out in an invisible manner, they gathered on Su Ming's right hand and started weaving with each other out of thin air.
When describing this scene, it was inevitable that it would take a long time, but in truth, it happened in the blink of an eye. The 36,000 wisps of air finished weaving and turned into a doll in front of Su Ming's right hand. It had the body of a snake, but it had five heads. One of the heads was a python hissing with a red tongue, one was a tiger with the word 'king' on its forehead, one was a wolf's head filled with greed, one was an incomparably black dragon's head, and the one at the center had the distorted face of a boy.
The doll weaved based on Su Ming's Curse was … the Five-Faced Beast Deity Su Ming had fought against indirectly in the past! This was a peerless ferocious beast that had once commanded the wind and clouds in Arid Triad, and only Arid Triad could seal and destroy it. At that moment, Su Ming used his right hand to reveal it in the form of a doll. Once he revealed it, Su Ming pointed at the circle formed when the ring shattered and spread out.
With this, the five heads of the Five-Faced Beast Deity shook violently, as if they had come back to life. They raised their heads in unison and let out an earth-shattering roar towards the sky. They charged straight into the circle formed by the shattered rings in front of them. In an instant, they charged into it, leaving behind a long trail made up of countless threads. It was as if there was an invisible exit in the circle, and the Five-Faced Beast Deity was going to charge out from this exit.
Yet at that moment, the young man formed by Arid Triad moved through the fog and instantly appeared in front of Su Ming. This was the first time he fought against Su Ming head-on. It was unlike the first time when he had spoken fiercely under the tree, and it was also unlike when he had sealed off the area in the flesh and blood barrier and did not fight against Su Ming head-on.
Yet now, for the first time, when he appeared in front of Su Ming, a freezing glare shone in his eyes, and a supreme, mighty pressure erupted from his body. It seemed to have caused the tunnel to tremble, as well as the 360 Expanse Cosmoses in Dark Dawn and Saint Defier beyond the tunnel. The four Great True Worlds shuddered as well. Even the True World belonging to Su Ming felt as if it was being oppressed at that moment.
This was Arid Triad's power. At the instant his presence erupted, the young man appeared in front of Su Ming. He lifted his right hand, but he did not grab Su Ming. Instead, he grabbed the Five-Faced Beast Deity doll in front of Su Ming. By the looks of it, the Five-Faced Beast Deity could not dodge. If the young man touched it, the doll would immediately shatter.
Yet similarly, the young man's expression was incredibly solemn. Clearly, the power of Su Ming's Curse was gathered in the doll, and even his pupils shrank.
However, he had to destroy the doll in this place. He had already seen through Su Ming's plan, and he would not allow Su Ming to successfully break out of this trap. As long as Su Ming's will could not leave this place and he was still trapped in this place, then before long, he would be able to completely devour and fuse with Su Ming without any effort.
During that instant, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his foot and took a step forward. When he lifted his left hand, he formed a seal and pushed it swiftly at the young man. In fact, when he did so, Su Ming's flesh and blood withered a little. It was as if he had drained a little of his life, blood, and even his soul, which was why his body had withered. However, this price was paid in exchange for a strike that caused the pupils of the young man to shrink. He was forced to give up on grabbing the Five-Faced Beast Deity with his right hand, because Su Ming's strike gave him a sense of danger he had never felt before!
Almost at the instant Su Ming executed his strike and pushed it at Arid Triad, his True Immortal Sect World in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos crumbled. Loud booming sounds echoed in space, and the entire True World instantly withered and shrank …
This was the price Su Ming had to pay.
The young man changed the direction of his right hand. He swept his palm forward and swiftly closed in on Su Ming's incoming strike.
"You sacrificed an Expanse Cosmos in exchange for a strike of this level that I cannot ignore … Su Ming, I've still underestimated you." When the young man's voice echoed in space, his right hand had already crashed into Su Ming's left hand.
A loud bang that shook the sky and earth spread out at that instant. Su Ming shuddered and coughed out seven mouthfuls of blood. He staggered backwards, and with each step he took backwards, a large amount of pink fog would immediately seep into his body, causing a strange shade of pink to appear on his skin.
With each mouthful of blood he coughed up, a hint of confusion and struggle would appear in Su Ming's eyes. After coughing up seven mouthfuls of blood, Su Ming lifted his head.
Once the young man touched Su Ming's strike that could wither an Expanse Cosmos, his body instantly disintegrated, but once he did so, he gathered together once more. He gathered together seven times in a row, and when he did so for the eighth time, he approached the wall of the flesh tunnel. When all the fog in the area was pushed in all directions, he stopped moving. When he lifted his head, his face was slightly pale.
When Su Ming saw this, his pupils shrank in a barely noticeable manner. The two of them might seem to be evenly matched, but in truth … Arid Triad had split up a portion of his will to seal the flesh tunnel, or else when the two of them crashed into each other just then, the flesh tunnel would have definitely shattered.
"Su Ming, what a man!" As he spoke, he moved forward and charged at the Five-Faced Beast Deity, which was about to rush into the circle formed by the shattered ring.
"But before me, it won't be able to do anything."
"You were sealed by this person in the past. You and I were never enemies, and neither will we become enemies. With the body of a doll, I gathered all of your resentment and used the Arid Curse to give you a chance to reconstruct your body. If you still can't rush out, then your body and soul are bound to be destroyed!
"If you give it your all and rush out, I promise you … that when I do not die, you will also not die!" Su Ming knew that if he wanted to cast the Arid Curse in front of Arid Triad to rush out of the flesh tunnel and cause the three people from Saint Defier to retaliate against him, he would have to focus on Arid Triad.
And he only had one chance. That was why … Su Ming chose to use the Curse to gather together the will of the Five-Faced Beast Deity he had seen before!
My flight was delayed, and I was stuck in the airport for eight hours. I originally intended to return home at nine and continue writing my second chapter, but I simply did not want to miss any updates. Every single time I missed one, I would feel guilty when I saw the comments in the book review section …
"This is a force majeure. I'm still in the airport, and I wrote this chapter in the airport. I wrote it for four hours.
"Today's lucky draw will also be moved to tomorrow. I don't understand why I'm giving away free items. As long as I follow the forum, I'll have a chance. It doesn't cost me any money, and it doesn't take much effort either. Why shouldn't I follow the forum?" Please pick up your phone, open the forum, search for the public account, and search for your ears. The first person with a yellow verification number is me, and I'm stuck in the airport right now. I'm mentally and physically exhausted.
"Later, I'll post a picture of me in a pathetic, miserable, and listless state …
