"This is a change of heart," Su Ming said softly with his eyes closed. Su Ming closed his eyes and spoke softly. His voice was slightly hoarse, as if an invisible ball of fire had burned his throat.
He did not move and simply allowed Zi Ruo to straddle him. No matter how the woman begged him, Su Ming did not move. He could lift his hand and use the last bit of clarity he had left to chase Zi Ruo away from his body, but Su Ming did not.
His clothes were still intact. At the moment he closed his eyes, he did not continue meditating. Instead, he observed his body and his heart.
He could sense that his body had become incredibly sensitive under the poison of desire. He had become completely different from before. His emotions became more easily agitated, and he was no longer able to remain calm.
Yet the more it was like this, the more Su Ming tried to keep his heart calm. It was just like how he had sat on a lone cliff for nearly a month when his first change of heart had occurred on Ninth Summit.
At that time, he had searched for a way to clear his heart and gain an epiphany of his own change of heart. Right then, he was still sitting on the cliff, still trying to gain an epiphany.
However, what had disturbed Su Ming in the past was the wind in the mountain and the chaos in his heart. Right then … what disturbed him was the poison of desire in his heart and Zi Ruo, who was panting softly.
Su Ming's mind gradually turned blank. He no longer paid attention to everything around him and immersed himself in his heart. He watched as his mind would sometimes be like a raging ocean, and at other times, it would be like flames surging into the sky. At other times, it would be as calm as still water. As it changed, he gained an epiphany about his change of heart, metamorphosed his heart, and came to understand … a Dao that he could not describe, but which he could vaguely feel.
Dao required external evils to refine it, just like how the change of heart required external disturbances. If he could not control it, then he would not be able to move forward for the rest of his life, but if he could get through it, then his heart would metamorphose until he reached a state where he would not be tainted by dust.
With the hint of clarity Su Ming maintained in his heart at that moment, he could have pushed Zi Ruo away, but he did not. Since external evils had appeared and troubles had descended on him, then with Su Ming's personality … he would simply allow them to come and disturb him. He would refine himself while being disturbed, then he would look at the sky in the abyss … and in the flames of desire, he would welcome a new life.
In the dark night, I look at the light. I do not desire the arrival of the light. I only wish … to become the darkness that even the dark night cannot stain!
I don't like light, just like how I used to not be able to see the white of the sky and the darkness of the night. It was as if the heavens had closed their curtains before my eyes. Since that's the case, I don't want to live under the sunlight. I only want to live in the night and become … the source of darkness in the sky.
When I shine in the sunlight, I drive it away. When I shine in the darkness, I dim it. Because of me, I am the only thing in the Heavens, in the starry sky, in the Vast Expanse... the only darkness!
This is me … Su Ming!
My life is a life of possession. My life is a life that outsiders cannot emulate. My life … is a life of pursuing darkness!!
I can kill countless people. I can destroy all lives. I can make day turn into night. I can make darkness descend on the land, but in my heart, there will always be a spot of light left for my family, my friends, and my partner …
As these thoughts echoed in Su Ming's mind, he felt as if he had found the direction to go through a metamorphosis. It caused the waves in the raging sea to become calm, the flames that surged into the sky to become dim, and a hint of unruly might appeared in his heart, which was like still water.
Who said that only light is mighty? Who said that only saints are noble? In the darkness, I can still make the moon turn into the sun, and I can also make the light turn into night!
Su Ming's heart was unprecedentedly calm. When he opened his eyes, he no longer closed them to avoid looking at the alluring Zi Ruo, because closing his eyes was a form of escape. Only those who were weak and did not dare to face it would not dare to open their eyes because they were afraid that their hearts would be disturbed.
I want to open my eyes. I want to see the world that outsiders can't see. With this determination, I must also have the resolve to face this change of heart. Therefore … I want to open my eyes. I want to take a look at the evil that is bothering me!
Su Ming looked at Zi Ruo in front of him, at her curvaceous body on his, and at her moaning and heaving in a pleading manner. However, his expression was aloof, and it was as cold as the darkness of night. If Zi Ruo, whose entire body was pink, was compared to light, then this would be a fight between light and darkness.
Su Ming did not move during this fight, neither did his heart. Everything else did not move. He only looked at everything before him, and his heart slowly became calmer. The poisonous desire in his body seemed to be unable to find any source of boiling blood. It could only wither away in his body until it lost all its life force and was completely assimilated into Su Ming's body.
He did not care whether he wanted to have a relationship with Zi Ruo that was similar to that of a couple, but what Su Ming cared about was that he would not allow himself to be controlled by the poisonous desire, and he would not allow the little fox to take the initiative.
The fog in the flesh tunnel around him gradually dissipated, as if it would disappear completely before long. Su Ming continued sitting cross-legged and looked at Zi Ruo before him calmly. His expression was indifferent, and not a single hint of desire could be detected on him. The red in his eyes had long since disappeared, and his breathing had become calm. As his heart went through a metamorphosis and Su Ming's emotions became calm, he had already transcended some sort of barrier that restricted him to himself.
This scene was seen clearly by an invisible gaze that came from space. That gaze seemed to have fused with space and seemed to be everywhere, even in the flesh tunnel. It was as if if the owner of that gaze wanted to see anything, then there was no truth that he could not see.
He saw Su Ming's calmness, and he also saw a fierce presence on Su Ming's body. That presence was just a feeling, and it came from Su Ming's resolve towards the darkness in his heart.
When Su Ming lifted his head, he stared at the space above him with a calm gaze. At that instant, the owner of that gaze was Old Man Extermination, who was sitting and meditating on the hidden ancient ship near the gap in the Vast Expanse in the Fourth Expanse.
That gaze belonged to him!
At the instant Su Ming looked over, Old Man Extermination's heart trembled for the first time, because in his eyes, Su Ming's gaze … seemed to have met his gaze through space, as if they were looking into each other's eyes.
At the instant their gazes met, Old Man Extermination shuddered. The hidden ancient ship seemed to have shuddered as well, and it distorted from its hidden state. In the end, it reappeared at the gap between the Vast Expanse and the butterfly's wings.
"Su Ming, what a man! He's the strongest of this aeon, and … he might also be … the strongest person in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos since ancient times!" Old Man Extermination mumbled as his body distorted.
"Change of Heart Art. Tian Xie Zi has already shown signs of this Art. His fate was originally destined to be the strongest in this aeon, but due to my interference, Tian Xie Zi's change of heart failed … but I didn't expect that his disciples would succeed one after another, until this Su Ming …
"This time, I sensed a terrifying presence from him … This presence … Damn it, this presence … is actually somewhat similar to the terrifying Xuan Zang!" Old Man Extermination's pupils shrank, which was a rare sight, but he did not avert his gaze. He continued staring at space, at Su Ming through the flesh tunnel.
Su Ming did not lower his head either. He just stared at space.
"As expected of … the race that joined my bloodline and was modified and guided by me … Netherworld!" Old Man Extermination was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly. At the same time, a loud bang that shook the sky and earth shot out from the galaxy in front of him, and a figure seemed to be born in that loud bang.
It was a black-robed man. It was the same black-robed man as the three black-robed men who had been here before. He looked and felt exactly the same.
He appeared in space amid the loud bangs. At the instant he appeared, he wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed to Old Man Extermination.
"This is a member of the younger generation in your race. In fact, if we're talking about seniority, then we should call you Progenitor … Since he's here, go and meet him. I want … a drop of his blood!" Old Man Extermination said faintly.
The black-robed man did not say a word. He only wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed deeply to Old Man Extermination. When he lifted his head, only determination and fanaticism could be seen on the face hidden under the black robe. The light in his eyes, which were almost foolishly loyal, could be seen.
He turned around, and with another loud bang, the black-robed man disappeared without a trace.
When the black-robed man disappeared, Old Man Extermination slowly closed his eyes. When he did so, the ancient ship around him disappeared without a trace.
It was also at that moment that Su Ming averted his gaze. He lowered his head to look at Zi Ruo again, but there was no reflection of her in his eyes.
"Old Man Extermination, huh? I wonder which Realm in Avacaniya Realm you are in … If you have truly absorbed more than one butterfly's presence and power before it died, then are you now … equivalent to a complete Harmonious Morus Alba?" Su Ming asked faintly. His voice echoed in space.
When Su Ming went through the change of heart, there were three black-robed men in Saint Defier's camp. Each of them manifested multiple clones, and as they charged forward, they gradually took on Su Ming's appearance. With killing intent and aloofness, they rushed into the Expanse Cosmoses and carried out a massacre.
Due to their appearances being Su Ming's, unimaginable resentment could be gathered on them. That resentment was all directed at Su Ming, and perhaps one day … it would lead to a terrifying explosion.
As for the original bodies of these three black-robed men, they looked exactly the same as You Ming. Their appearances were covered by the black robes, so it was impossible to see what they looked like. However, there were some differences between the three of them …
One of them was clearly a big and built man, and he gave off a domineering and aggressive air. Another was slightly thin, and his presence changed constantly. The last one … had an air of arrogance about him that could not be dispelled.
