"Becoming an offering doesn't mean that you will die, but that you will be reborn. Su Ming … since you gave up on this chance, it will be difficult for you to escape the cycle of reincarnation … I will wait for you here!
"This is just the beginning of our battle! It's far from over! I … will definitely make you pay for this! " At the instant he was absorbed by the finger, Old Man Extermination's Nascent Divinity looked at Su Ming, and hatred and madness that was carved into his bones appeared on his face. As he laughed ferociously, his words echoed in space. When his Nascent Divinity was completely absorbed by the finger, the finger disappeared.
The entire fourth Expanse Cosmos crumbled. It continued shattering and booming sounds rang in the air, causing everything in it to be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Su Ming was silent. He stared at the destruction around him, then turned into a long arc that charged towards the gap in the Vast Expanse. In an instant, he rushed out of his homeland!
For the first time in the Vast Expanse, Su Ming saw … the huge Feng Shui compass. It was boundless, and Su Ming could not see its end with his eyes.
There was also the withered Harmonious Morus Alba under the Feng Shui compass, which was continuously being absorbed. Su Ming saw the four overlapping wings of Harmonious Morus Alba, which looked like they were being burned by invisible flames and were swiftly being reduced to ashes.
Vaguely, he seemed to see Arid Triad's Expanse Cosmos and hear Arid Triad's murmurs.
"Tree, in this life … I will accompany you."
Arid Triad disappeared. Even the four Great True Worlds in it, Divine Essence Star Ocean, and everything else turned into destroyed nothingness before Su Ming's eyes.
The past in his memories became a distant memory from then on. Dark Mountain, the ninth summit, the land of Berserkers, True Morning Dao World, and everything else were like fleeting clouds. They gradually faded away and only remained in his mind, becoming a burden and a memory that could accompany him as he continued walking alone in the Vast Expanse.
Loneliness seemed to have never left Su Ming. Ever since he arrived in Dark Mountain, he was like a pot of old wine. When he drank with the moon, he could only clink his cup against the shadow …
The wind of time and the quicksand that was stirred up no longer filled the depths of midnight. It was the world where he meditated in a daze. The figures seemed to have come closer, and the beautiful murmurs in his ears in the past were the desolate echoes of Harmonious Morus Alba's destruction.
He did not know whether the glorious past he saw when he turned his head back thousands of years ago would last for tens of thousands of years and turn into the praises of his descendants, but as Harmonious Morus Alba gradually withered … perhaps the legend would no longer exist.
It was as if yesterday's singing had lost its resonance and connection. The murmuring could no longer find the sound of a zither to listen to.
Watching the rise and fall of the world might seem like an extravagant dream to an outsider. It might seem beautiful, but only those who truly experienced it would understand the pain that outsiders couldn't understand.
Tears fell from the corners of Su Ming's eyes.
He was the only person left in the world. When his tears fell, no one could see them, much less ask about them. Only Harmonious Morus Alba, which was slowly withering away until it turned into wisps of aura that were completely absorbed by the Feng Shui compass, saw Su Ming's lonely figure in the vast universe with its lifeless eyes before it died.
That figure was desolate …
Harmonious Morus Alba disappeared without a sound. There were no loud booms that shook the sky and earth, and neither were there any forlorn screams that shocked the entire world. There was only a life and death that left no traces behind, a dream that woke up from a deep sleep.
Su Ming was silent. There were still many things he had not done. He still had the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe's remnant in his storage bag, along with Yu Xuan's sleeping body in the other world.
All of them had become Su Ming's most precious memories. Fortunately … he still had the bald crane.
The bald crane had appeared beside Su Ming at some unknown point of time. It accompanied him to watch Harmonious Morus Alba's destruction and the endless Vast Expanse with him.
Then, a cold and dark voice came from the Feng Shui compass.
"Seventh … Reversed Spirit …" At the instant the voice echoed in the air, the Feng Shui compass let out a loud roar and started spinning swiftly. It did not spin quickly, but it formed an astonishing vortex. When it swept through the Vast Expanse, the black-robed young man sitting on the Feng Shui compass … appeared before Su Ming's eyes for the first time in every sense of the word!
He was dressed in black robes, and his body was so big that it was difficult to imagine. His lifeless eyes seemed to contain a merciless aloofness, but in truth, it was due to a thick aura of death surrounding him. His cold and dark face seemed to have never changed for a long time as he stared at Su Ming.
He had no gaze, but at that moment, Su Ming could clearly sense Xuan Zang's gaze on him.
More accurately speaking, Xuan Zang was not staring at Su Ming, but at the bald crane beside him!
During that instant, the bald crane shuddered. When it lifted its head, it stared at Xuan Zang on the Feng Shui compass. A strong feeling that it was facing its mortal enemy surged in its heart.
It was also at that moment that Su Ming saw the string of pearls in Xuan Zang's right hand. The pearl he held was shining with a dark light, and in it, Su Ming saw the shadow of a crane.
That shadow … was naturally the bald crane!
At the instant Su Ming saw the pearl clearly, his pupils shrank. At that moment, Xuan Zang slowly lifted his right hand while on the Feng Shui compass. With the pearl in his hand, he slowly extended it in Su Ming's direction, as if he was seizing space.
With it, the vast universe within a circular area of tens of thousands of lis around Su Ming let out a shocking roar. It was as if the universe was collapsing and tumbling backwards. A violent gust of wind so powerful that it caused Su Ming's robes and hair to flutter instantly appeared. Soon after, Su Ming saw the world in front of him turn into a huge palm, and with a presence that threw the entire universe into chaos, it came charging at him.
The bald crane shuddered, and Su Ming's eyes turned bloodshot. During that instant, he swung his arm and swept up the bald crane before sending it into his storage bag. Then, he turned into a long arc and swiftly retreated.
But no matter how fast he was, he could not outrun the palm that seemed to be able to replace the vast universe. The palm instantly closed in on him, and when it opened its mouth, it swiftly seized Su Ming.
Su Ming threw his head back and let out a low growl. He lifted his hands and formed a seal. Immediately, his Dao Divinity appeared and covered his entire body, but the method he used to make Xuan Zang's finger stop was completely useless at that moment. Xuan Zang's right hand had already closed in on him!
Su Ming's pupils shrank. The presence of his Dao Divinity did not spread out. Instead, it gathered around him. He lifted his right hand, and at the instant he clenched his fist, his body immediately swelled up. It was the God of Berserkers Transformation. In an instant, Su Ming grew to nearly one thousand feet tall. With his full power gathered, he delivered his strongest strike against the incoming palm.
Boom!
The vast universe trembled violently at that instant. Su Ming shuddered, and he tumbled backwards like a kite with its string snapped. He coughed up seven mouthfuls of blood, and his body shattered. The legs he had regathered shattered, and his left arm disappeared once more. Only half of his body remained, and at that moment, his presence seemed to have become incredibly weak. When he moved back, madness that refused to admit defeat showed up in his eyes, but he could not stop his body from moving back.
The difference between him and Xuan Zang was simply too great. There was no way he could fight against him. When he moved back, Su Ming threw his head back and roared. Purple smoke immediately filled his entire body. At the instant he stopped moving, Xuan Zang's right hand closed in on him again. This time, the bald crane's figure shone even more brilliantly in the pearl he held in his right hand!
"Give … the seventh Reversed Spirit to me … You … can leave …" Xuan Zang's cold and dark voice echoed in the vast universe as he seized Su Ming with his hand, but what answered him was Su Ming's laughter and fearless madness.
He wanted to Possess Xuan Zang. Even if it looked like he was throwing an egg at a rock, Su Ming knew that if he did not Possess Xuan Zang now, there was a high possibility that he would no longer have the chance!
Even if … there was a disparity between their states of life and the possibility of Su Ming succeeding in such a Possession was next to none, as long as there was a sliver of hope, he had to try.
Because only by doing so could he protect the bald crane at that moment. He absolutely could not watch the bald crane end up like a member of the Ninth Summit …
Even if Su Ming knew that Xuan Zang wanted the bald crane at that moment, and if he gave up on the bald crane and left on his own, he would no longer have to face the disaster of life and death. He could leave this place, stay far away from Xuan Zang, and live in the vast universe.
In fact, he could search for another Harmonious Morus Alba just like Old Man Extermination and enter its body so that he could have more time to gain an epiphany and understand more of Boundless Dao Realm's presence. In fact, with his current level of cultivation, he could Possess a Harmonious Morus Alba so that he could become stronger … and once that Harmonious Morus Alba died, he could choose an offering just like Old Man Extermination had done and carry out a cooperation with Xuan Zang, just like Old Man Extermination had done. Because of it, he could continue existing until he searched for another Harmonious Morus Alba.
One day, when Su Ming completely stepped into Boundless Dao Realm, he would be able to fight to the death against Xuan Zang. To Su Ming, this was the path he should choose logically!
Only by doing so would his chances of success increase slightly.
But if he had to give up on the bald crane as the price … Su Ming was unwilling to do so!
He could not give up on any of his friends. If he could give up on the bald crane today, and the reason for that was to give up on a life, he could have a chance to resurrect all his people, but if some time passed and Su Ming still had to give up on the bald crane, what would he choose?
Su Ming would not choose that sort of life!
Give up. This word had never appeared in Su Ming's life before, and it … would definitely not appear in the future either!
'I will absolutely not give up!' Resolve appeared in Su Ming's eyes, but at that moment, an even crazier resolve erupted from the bald crane in his storage bag!
The third chapter was delivered, and it had lasted for seven consecutive days. On the seventh day, it was still the fourth chapter. Am I really … at the top of the monthly votes?!
