Because the Five-Faced Beast Deity had refused to submit to the world in the past and did not respect Arid Triad. With the momentum of looking down on the world, it had gained its own supreme might and swept through the universe. It could be said to have been invincible for a period of time!
That invincible confidence had gathered on the body of the former Five-Faced Beast Deity, causing it to stand at the top of the galaxy and challenge Arid Triad … but it had lost.
But even though it had lost, even though its physical body had been torn to shreds, and even though its soul had been destroyed and sealed in space … its fighting spirit and unwillingness to admit defeat remained in the world for an eternity.
That was why the Five-Faced Beast Deity cult had appeared and why its descendants worshiped it. In fact, they longed to fuse with its resentment and soul fragments.
It was easy to imagine just how mighty and flamboyant the Five-Faced Beast Deity had been in the universe. With the Curse, Su Ming had gathered together the Five-Faced Beast Deity's soul fragments in space, and with its will as the threads to form its physical body, it could be said that this was the first time the Five-Faced Beast Deity had truly descended into the world after it died in the past.
If the cultivators of the Five-Faced Beast Deity cult from the aeons of the past saw this, they would definitely be shocked. They would immediately become incredibly zealous towards Su Ming, because the Five-Faced Beast Deity shadow they gathered together could not compare to the Beast Deity Su Ming had manifested with the Curse.
One was an illusion, and the other was real. One could only be guided by his will, and the other … was the complete will of the former Five-Faced Beast Deity.
As Su Ming's words echoed in space, the Five-Faced Beast Deity puppet formed by countless threads shuddered. It threw its head back and let out a roar that shook the entire area. It caused the flesh tunnel to tremble, and even the galaxies of Dark Dawn and Saint Defier beyond the tunnel to tremble.
There was an endless amount of ancient air in that roar, along with a resolve towards the heavens, the earth, and all lives. There was also a strong and indescribable unwillingness to admit defeat and madness.
It was as if it still longed for its former life and still had the resentment and fighting spirit that had accumulated over countless years towards its defeat against Arid Triad.
It was unwilling to die. Over the years, after its soul was destroyed, it had let out a soundless roar that echoed through the universe more than once. There was only one sentence in its roar.
"If only I had another chance!!"
Give it another chance. Su Ming could not hear those words, and neither could anyone else, but they had been echoing in the universe for countless years and aeons, and at that moment … Su Ming gave it that chance!
As the roars echoed in the air and the entire universe trembled, Arid Triad's expression changed drastically for the second time. The first change was because of Su Ming, and the second … was because of the Five-Faced Beast Deity!
The instant the Five-Faced Beast Deity's roar spread out in all directions, the five heads of the Beast Deity suddenly became ferocious and crazed. Its ten eyes shone with an unprecedented light. At the same time, a gigantic illusory figure appeared around its body. That illusory figure was rapidly becoming corporeal, as if it wouldn't be long before it would take on the form of the Five-Faced Beast Deity, the body that could shake the heavens and earth.
Almost at the instant the Five-Faced Beast Deity roared, an illusory figure appeared around its body. With an indescribable speed, it charged towards the gigantic circle formed by the fragments of the ring once it shattered …
A sense of danger rose in Arid Triad's heart. The killing trap Su Ming had set up to devour him was about to be broken. At that moment, he rushed towards the Five-Faced Beast Deity to stop it from leaving.
As for Su Ming, he was in another direction. He also used his fastest speed to stop Arid Triad from attacking so that the Five-Faced Beast Deity could rush out of the flesh tunnel in one piece.
All of this seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, it happened in the blink of an eye. As Arid Triad closed in and a small part of the Five-Faced Beast Deity's body entered the circle formed by the fragments, it seemed to contain another Expanse Cosmos. When the Five-Faced Beast Deity entered the circle, it felt as if it had entered a mirror.
"You can't leave!" A glint appeared in Arid Triad's eyes, and a powerful light erupted from his body. Under it, his body was instantly submerged by the light, and it turned into a huge palm that charged forward to seize the Five-Faced Beast Deity.
A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes. He could not let Arid Triad stop the Five-Faced Beast Deity. This concerned Su Ming's survival, even though he could use the power of Harmonious Morus Alba's wing fragment to flee while Arid Triad stopped the Five-Faced Beast Deity.
Doing so might seem like the right thing to do … but Su Ming did not want to!
He did not want to flee. He did not want to use the Five-Faced Beast Deity, and even more so … his dignity would not allow him to do so. What right did he have to flee? He wanted to break Arid Triad's trap in a dignified manner, and the one who had to flee was not Su Ming … but Arid Triad.
That was why the thought of bringing out Harmonious Morus Alba's wing fragment had only appeared in Su Ming's mind before he immediately cast it aside. With a cold harrumph, he gathered his will, his soul, and all of his cultivation base together to form … a sword that could shock the heavens!
That sword was the strongest strike Su Ming had executed in his life when he fought against the black-robed young man with the Art of Time!
With it, Su Ming gave the young man Arid Triad two choices. The first choice was to give up on stopping the Five-Faced Beast Deity from leaving and fight against him.
The second choice was to not give up on stopping the Five-Faced Beast Deity, but if he did so, he would have to suffer from Su Ming's attack!
In truth, while it might seem like he had two choices, to Arid Triad, it was just one. When a rampaging presence erupted from Su Ming's body and turned into his strongest attack to charge at Arid Triad, a hint of conflict appeared in the eyes of the young man Arid Triad, but it only lasted for an instant before it turned into determination.
He believed that he could withstand Su Ming's strike. He believed that the Five-Faced Beast Deity would not be able to escape from his palm strike. Due to this confidence, the young man formed by Arid Triad immediately made his decision.
He gritted his teeth and did not dodge Su Ming's strongest attack. He simply allowed the illusory sword formed by all of Su Ming's life to close in on him. The young man Arid Triad did not even cast a glance at it. The huge palm he had turned into charged at the Five-Faced Beast Deity.
In an instant …
The palm formed by Arid Triad pressed down on the Five-Faced Beast Deity, whose body had already entered the circle of fragments. Booming sounds instantly shook the sky and earth. They reverberated through the entire flesh tunnel, and Arid Triad's low roar echoed in the air.
"Shatter!"
At the same time, the strongest sword formed by Su Ming's life, will, and soul closed in on the Five-Faced Beast Deity at almost the same time. It stabbed the palm formed by Arid Triad, and the booming sound overlapped with the previous one. An even stronger wave of sound erupted, shaking the fog in the area so much that it tumbled backwards. The flesh tunnel shuddered, and a large number of cracks appeared in the area.
The Five-Faced Beast Deity let out an incredibly shrill roar. Its body shuddered violently at that instant. The palm from Arid Triad contained a power that could destroy all lives. Arid Triad's will was contained in it, and it was enough to kill all existences.
In fact, that strike did not lose to the power of the disaster when all four wings in Harmonious Morus Alba's butterfly world overlapped with each other. During that instant, the Five-Faced Beast Deity's illusory body that had continuously gained corporeal form shuddered and crumbled. When it was torn to pieces, the destructive power from Arid Triad crashed into the body formed by Su Ming's Curse.
The Five-Faced Beast Deity shuddered again. The body formed by Su Ming's Curse instantly showed signs of crumbling. During that instant, the Five-Faced Beast Deity roared with indignation. The madness that had been accumulating for countless years and aeons erupted with a bang. It was a madness that came from its unwillingness to admit that it had failed the second time. It was the strongest will it had in its life, and it had even surpassed the first time it had challenged Arid Triad!
At the instant the strongest will in its life spread out from the Five-Faced Beast Deity's body, it turned into the madness it had in its life, and it crashed violently against Arid Triad's destructive power with its body as the center.
Booming sounds surged into the sky and echoed endlessly in space. The Five-Faced Beast Deity's body crumbled with a bang. Half of its body instantly disappeared … but with that half of its body disappearing, the unprecedented madness and unwillingness to admit defeat in its heart, and the resentment it had accumulated over countless aeons … it forcefully used the other half of its body to withstand Arid Triad's strike!
"Arid Triad, damn you, Arid Triad! Even if I have to give it my all, I will not allow myself to lose to you a second time!" The Five-Faced Beast Deity's roars echoed in space. Four of its five heads instantly exploded on their own, turning into the strongest power in its life to fight against Arid Triad's destruction.
In the midst of the booming sounds fighting against Arid Triad, the Five-Faced Beast Deity, who only had one head and a small portion of its body left … rushed out of the circle formed by the fragments of its body!
It rushed out of the circle and the flesh tunnel. With its Cursed body, it rushed out completely. This scene caused Arid Triad's heart to tremble. He originally thought that he could kill the Five-Faced Beast Deity, but he made a mistake in his judgment. If this sort of mistake had happened in any other situation, it would have been nothing. He could just make up for it … but in this place, this mistake instantly led to two outcomes!
The first outcome was that the trap would be broken, and it was already set in stone!
The second outcome was that Su Ming's strongest strike had already erupted with a madness that put Arid Triad in danger.
"This time, you … lost." These were Su Ming's faint words echoing in Arid Triad's ears when he turned around and thrust his strongest strike at the Five-Faced Beast Deity.
