When Su Ming appeared in this manner, he instantly surpassed everyone else. When he was above the ancient tree, he lifted his head and saw the nine echelons above him!
It could indeed be called the sky. It was a huge stone platform that was millions of miles in size. In fact, it wasn't even appropriate to call it a stone platform. It should be a continent, and when one looked up from the bottom of the continent, they would naturally see the sky!
The sky of the earth!
The ancient tree had pierced through the center of the world and stretched to the top of the continent. Su Ming could not see what was there, but he could imagine the ancient tree's size and its indescribable power. In fact … he could also indirectly sense how glorious the ancient tree had been in the past!
Originally, it had been a gigantic tree that towered high up in the Nine Heavens, nourishing an enormous world. Each of the nine branches of that tree had given birth to a butterfly. Those nine butterflies had transformed into nine lands of that world, which had connected with the entire world. Because of that, the cultivators of that world had reached the Boundless Dao Realm!
If the Emperor of Black Zang had never entered that world, perhaps … it would still be majestic!
Su Ming stared at the sky on the ground, at the ancient tree that caused his heart to tremble. In fact, at that moment, he remembered the Sacred Wood he had brought out previously. It might have been in Harmonious Morus Alba, but in the beginning, it had floated in the endless universe. Su Ming had once imagined the origins of the Sacred Wood, but he did not have an answer.
Only at that moment did Su Ming suddenly have a strong feeling … that perhaps when the world collapsed in the past, some of the small branches had shattered and scattered in the universe, and one of them had turned into the Sacred Wood.
This was just Su Ming's guess. He did not have any concrete proof. At that moment, he sucked in a deep breath. The Feng Shui compass under his feet shone, and he became even faster. With the advantage of being at the forefront, what Su Ming needed to do was to stabilize this advantage and continue increasing it.
About tens of thousands of feet behind him, the eldest prince's expression was incredibly dark. As the spirit shadows of the three old men surrounded him, the eldest prince opened his mouth and sucked in a deep breath. At the instant he sucked in a breath, the entire world trembled with a bang. It was as if the eldest prince had turned into a gigantic black hole that sucked in all auras, causing the air to distort. As ripples spread out, he let out a low growl.
At the same time the roar shook the sky and earth, the first prince's speed increased exponentially. In a flash, he appeared less than one thousand feet behind Su Ming. When he appeared, blood trickled out of the corners of the first prince's mouth, but judging by the brilliant light in his eyes, he seemed to be able to shift one more time.
One must know that this was the void, the surroundings of the ancient tree. There was an intense repulsive force here, disrupting one's cultivation base and locking down the world. Even divine abilities and magical arts would be greatly weakened in this place, not to mention teleportation arts, which were clearly teleportation arts, which were even more suppressed in this place.
That was why even though the first prince was using Dao Spirits to protect his body and use their power to shift, it was still a little too much for the first prince. The closer he got to the ninth echelon, the stronger the feeling became.
Almost at the same time the first prince shifted, a freezing glare shone in the second prince's eyes. A dark smile suddenly appeared at the corners of his lips. He did not execute any divine abilities or Arts in an attempt to be the first to step into the ninth echelon. Instead, he maintained his speed and looked above him coldly.
'Eldest brother is obstinate and conceited. If he attacks third brother, I'll be the one who benefits!' The second prince was a gloomy person. At that moment, when he sneered coldly, many sinister thoughts appeared in his head.
When he saw that the first prince was about to catch up to him, Su Ming's expression remained the same. He might not be far away from the ninth echelon, but he could not reach it within a short period of time. No matter what, he needed the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn.
His speed did not change, but a hint of ferociousness appeared on his face, as if he wanted to maintain his advantage regardless of the cost. However, he seemed to have reached his limit, and he could not increase his speed. The first prince, who was about one thousand feet behind him, let out another low growl. Immediately, the aura around him surged into him. Once he let out another low growl, he shifted again. This time, he surpassed Su Ming and appeared thousands of feet away from him. The first prince coughed up a mouthful of blood, but when he lowered his head, a ferocious and smug smile appeared on his lips.
Su Ming's expression was dark, but he could not increase his speed. Instead, he became increasingly slower. In just a dozen something breaths, the first prince had managed to bring him ten thousand something feet away from him, and he was less than one thousand feet away from the second prince.
The second prince's pupils shrank slightly. This was something he had not expected. At that moment, as this thought flashed through his mind, his expression suddenly changed, because Su Ming was no longer chasing after him with his life on the line. Instead, he was slowing down, as if he wanted to stop the second prince.
'Damn it, I neglected his level of cultivation. With it, even if he borrows external power, he won't be able to last for long. He knows that he won't be able to catch up to eldest brother and wants to interfere with me. His goal is very clear. Even if he can't be the first to step into the ninth echelon, he still wants to hold me back and step into the ninth echelon with me.
'As long as he holds me back and stops me, he will still have the upper hand. It's better than being the last!' At the instant this thought flashed in the second prince's head, Su Ming had already closed in on him. He lifted his right hand and formed a seal. The light from his Arts and divine abilities immediately surged into the sky. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and he began fighting against the second prince.
"Damn it!" The second prince's expression turned even darker. He originally wanted to watch Su Ming fight against the first prince so that he could reap the benefits, but at that moment, he realized that his intentional actions were the same as helping the first prince achieve his goal. This caused his heart to immediately tumble. At the instant he fought against Su Ming, he did not have time to think. When he saw that the first prince was getting closer to the ninth echelon, the second prince lifted his right hand and struck his chest. With a bang, his body crumbled on its own. Occasionally, when Su Ming shot through the second prince's body, he would turn his head around and see that the second prince's body had turned into a large amount of fog. As it distorted, it turned into a human-shaped beast with two horns on its head. With a speed that surpassed its previous speed, it instantly charged upwards.
In the blink of an eye, the second prince widened the distance between him and Su Ming and charged towards the first prince. In his eyes, due to his level of cultivation, Su Ming was already destined to be the last. Right then, it was time for him to fight against the first prince for the advantage of being the first to step into the ninth echelon.
At that moment, the second prince no longer held back. He instantly closed the distance between him and the first prince, and as he did so, killing intent shone in the first prince's eyes. He had been paying attention to the battle between the second prince and Su Ming, and he had also seen Su Ming's speed becoming increasingly slower. He could also tell that Su Ming was already using his full strength.
"Second, do you insist on fighting against me here?" the first prince immediately asked, and his voice echoed in all directions like thunder.
"This is …" Just as the second prince was about to speak, a glint appeared in the first prince's eyes. He no longer charged forward, but instead turned around, lifted his right hand, and threw a punch at the first prince. Immediately, the three Great Spirit Protectors around him charged towards the second prince.
A smile appeared at the corners of the second prince's lips. He was not surprised in the slightest. As the eldest prince's divine ability closed in on him, he lifted both hands and pushed them forward. Immediately, a gigantic illusory figure that was 1,000 feet tall appeared around him. That illusory figure was also a gigantic humanoid beast with two horns on its head. With its body, it crashed into the eldest prince's divine ability.
Booming sounds reverberated in the world, causing the ancient tree to sway. The first prince and the second prince's divine abilities continued crashing into each other, and both of them continued moving upwards at a high speed.
Su Ming was about ten thousand feet below them. He watched this scene coldly, and a cold sneer appeared at the corners of his lips. He had indeed used all his power to activate the Feng Shui compass beneath him … but he still had four great wills that he had yet to bring out. The power of his wills surpassed divine sense, and it was Su Ming's final killing move.
He maintained a distance of ten thousand feet behind them while paying attention to the distance between them and the ninth echelon. In fact, to prevent the first and second princes from being wary of him, Su Ming gradually slowed down. By then, the distance between them had widened to nearly twenty thousand feet.
The first and second princes' fight had reached its climax at that moment. The two of them fought against each other and erupted with all their power in an attempt to surpass each other and become the first to step into the ninth echelon.
They were still three hundred thousand feet away from the ninth echelon … two hundred thousand feet … one hundred thousand feet … Booming sounds rang in the air. When they were still fifty thousand feet away from the ninth echelon, violent booming sounds reverberated in the air. The first prince's body protecting spirit shrank, and with one suck, he swallowed everything around him. A large number of runic symbols were reflected in his pupils, and he shifted swiftly to execute his final charge.
The second prince let out a cold harrumph. The fog around him instantly swelled up with loud bangs. As he continued moving forward, his body also grew larger. With these two methods, he looked as if he was on par with the first prince in terms of speed. As the two of them shifted and charged forward, they were forced to attack each other again to interfere with each other.
During that instant, when Su Ming was about tens of thousands of feet away from the ninth echelon, the four great wills erupted from his body with a bang and fused into the Feng Shui compass under his feet. His hair moved without wind, and as his robes fluttered, Su Ming looked as if he had turned into a shooting star and instantly rushed forward.
His speed was so fast that it was difficult to describe it with words. The four great wills surrounded him, and the power of his cultivation base was vast. He was fifty thousand feet away from the ninth echelon, thirty thousand feet, ten thousand feet …
He was like a sharp arrow that shot out from below, tearing through space!
In an instant, a loud roar alerted the first and second princes, who were only thousands of feet away from the ninth echelon, who were interfering with each other. At the instant they lowered their heads at the same time, and their expressions changed, Su Ming overtook them with a bang. In the next breath … he entered the ground of the ninth echelon through the ancient tree, and in the next breath … he appeared in the ninth echelon!
