Within One Dao Sect was the world with the three ancient statues. At that moment, the sky looked like water. As it sparkled, it reflected the scenes from the Tree of Dao Verification in the third layer.
The scene of Su Ming taking the lead of fifty thousand feet due to his ingenious calculations was completely revealed.
"That child … should not leave that place alive."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, once you obtain the Phala, kill this person. By doing so, not only will you be able to gather your kismet on the first prince, you will also be able to gather it on One Dao Sect. You will then be able to continue the glory of One Dao Sect."
As the dark voice echoed in the air, it seemed to be able to travel through the ripples on the water in the sky and into Lin Dong Dong's ears, who was on the Tree of Dao Verification in the third layer.
At the instant Su Ming touched the Tree of Dao Verification in the third layer, a sense of life-threatening danger rose in his heart. When he lowered his head, he saw the killing intent that shone briefly in the eyes of the first prince, who was fifty thousand feet below him.
The killing intent was so strong that Su Ming's pupils shrank when he saw it. He also looked towards the second prince, who was ten thousand feet below the first prince. He saw the same killing intent in the second prince's eyes.
'You want to kill me here?' A cold sneer appeared at the corners of Su Ming's lips. There was also a bloodthirsty air in it. When he turned around, he was just about to climb up when he suddenly heard a faint chuckle that sounded like that of a boy's.
That chuckle belonged to a boy. It echoed in Su Ming's ears, but when he swept his gaze around him, he found nothing.
"I'm here." This time, the voice was no longer chuckling. Instead, it was speaking, and it sounded as if it was drifting past Su Ming's ears.
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. He did not pay too much attention to it. He might not have seen too many strange things on his way here, but with Su Ming's experience in life, he would naturally not be surprised. Instead, he continued charging upwards without any hesitation.
As he charged forward, the sweet scent continuously grew stronger and surged into Su Ming's pores, causing the mighty pressure in the place to become stronger, but its effect on Su Ming was not great.
It was as if … the tree had been prepared for him!
"Your presence reminds me of my family …" The voice spoke again. This time, it still sounded like a child's, but there was a hint of melancholy in it.
"They left. I don't know where they went. I'm the only one left …" When the voice echoed in the air, Su Ming had already rushed to the middle of the Tree of Dao Verification. He was still hundreds of thousands of feet away from the tree crown that replaced the sky.
Behind him, the first prince chased after him with the power of a Great Dao Paragon. His speed surpassed Su Ming's, and he was already thirty thousand feet away from him. The second prince maintained a distance of thousands of feet between him and the first prince.
"Of the four people behind you, except for three of them, I don't like the rest. Hmm … it's not really two, it's hard to explain. One of them has three souls in his body, and one of them feels close to me, just like you …
There's another one, the one without a head. He doesn't have a soul, but his body has an aura that I'm familiar with … The last one, I like his right eye … But they're all very strange. Only your aura is very pure … You … Are you my family? "
When the voice echoed in the air, Su Ming came to an abrupt halt. His pupils shrank, and he charged forward again. However, he spoke in his heart.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I don't know who I am either. I only remember that I used to play with the nine butterflies … I had a lot of family members by my side, and they liked me a lot … But one day, a bad person came … "The child-like voice seemed to have become sad as it spoke.
When Su Ming heard that, his heart trembled, but he was not certain of the answer that had appeared in his mind at that moment. As he charged forward, he asked again.
"What … What's your name?"
"Hao Hao. My name is Hao Hao … I was brought here by that bad person, but I missed home … That bad person bound my body and forced me to stay here …
"You make me feel very close to you … Are you my family?" The child-like voice hesitated for a moment, then asked again, as if it was slightly afraid.
Su Ming was about to speak when a brilliant light shone in the eyes of the first prince beneath him. He lifted his right hand and struck the ancient Tree of Dao Verification. At the same time, his voice echoed in all directions.
"Ancient Zang Dao, One Dao Sect, gather your kismet, and change the laws!" As his words spread out, endless ripples appeared in the third layer. As they spread out, the first prince's body became indistinct and disappeared. When he reappeared the next breath, he was only five thousand feet behind Su Ming. His body became clear, and he rushed towards Su Ming.
"With your level of cultivation in Dao Spirit Realm, it's impossible for you to step onto the tree crown. You … are bound to fail in this fight. You are also bound to die here. This is a fate you cannot change." When the first prince's voice echoed in the air, it reached Su Ming's ears.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The four great wills instantly filled his body. The Feng Shui compass under his feet shone with a light that reached one hundred thousand feet. As Su Ming's cultivation base erupted from his body again, he charged upwards while maintaining his charging speed.
He was getting closer to the tree crown that replaced the sky. There were only two hundred thousand feet between him and the tree crown. It was also at that moment that the headless figure beneath the second prince moved. An astonishing power erupted from him, and his speed instantly increased by a large margin. He continued closing the distance between him and the second prince.
However, the difference between Su Ming's level of cultivation and that of a Great Dao Paragon was too great. Even though the mighty pressure in the place was incredibly strong and Su Ming was continuously recovering with a fragrant scent, the distance of five thousand feet behind him was still slowly being closed. When he was one hundred thousand feet away from the tree crown, the first prince was already less than two thousand feet behind Su Ming.
"You … You want to go to the tree crown? You … You want to go to my homeland, don't you? If you go to my homeland, can you bring me with you?
I want to go home … "When the child's voice appeared, a thought appeared in Su Ming's heart.
"Can you help me get to the tree crown?"
"Sure." Once the child's voice said those words, the Tree of Dao Verification, which Su Ming was in contact with, became limp. It instantly turned into a vortex that sucked Su Ming in.
All of this happened too quickly, so much so that the first prince was momentarily stunned. The second prince's pupils also shrank.
At that moment, Su Ming's body appeared at a spot nearly thirty thousand feet away from the tree crown, as if he had walked out of the ancient tree. Once he appeared, Su Ming's expression lit up.
"This is all I can do. Hurry up and come up. I'll wait for you up there. We'll go home together … Do you want these two fruits as well? Alright, I can give them to you."
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath. The fragrant scent was so thick that the fifth overlapping Dao Spirit in his third eye seemed to have swelled up and instantly gained much more corporeal form.
When he lifted his head, he stared at the tree crown thirty thousand feet away from him. From that spot, he could already see what seemed to be two fruits on the tree crown. With a single move, Su Ming charged towards the tree crown while maintaining his speed of charging forward.
Tens of thousands of feet below him was Lin Dong Dong, who had temporarily Possessed the first prince. Monstrous killing intent shone in his eyes. He had not expected that Su Ming would have such a method to instantly widen the distance between them. This caused him to growl, and loud banging sounds instantly came from his body. When he lifted his right hand, he pointed at the air.
"My fellow Daoists from One Dao Sect, when will the law change?!"
As he spoke, the cultivators in charge of the world where the three statues were located in One Dao Sect's world were shocked by the sight of Su Ming moving through the ancient tree. When Lin Dong Dong's voice came from the water in the sky, the six eyes of the three ancient statues instantly opened, and dark light shone from them.
At the same time, the six rays of dark light charged towards the water in the sky like six long arcs. When they sank into it, Lin Dong Dong, who had temporarily Possessed the first prince, lifted his right hand, and a large amount of ripples appeared on it. When they spread out, the world in the area instantly turned dark, as if the law had been changed. At the same time, the mighty pressure from the Tree of Dao Verification instantly lessened. Lin Dong Dong let out a low growl, and his speed instantly increased by several fold as he charged towards Su Ming.
He was so fast that he continuously closed the distance between him and Su Ming. The world around him let out a shocking roar, and countless illusory nets could be vaguely seen appearing in the world. At that moment, they were filled with dark light. If anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see … that the nets seemed to be weakening. In fact, some parts of them had even started shattering!
The second prince's headless figure shuddered at that moment, as if there was some sort of power burning in his headless body. As it burned, his speed increased exponentially, and he charged towards the tree crown above him.
This was the final charge. Regardless of whether it was Su Ming or the other two, all of them erupted with all their speed and turned into three long arcs that charged towards the tree crown.
The distance of thirty thousand feet was not far for Su Ming, but the two people behind him were clearly charging forward with all their might, and because of that, Su Ming's advantage was swiftly being pulled closer.
A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. When the first and second princes caught up to him, he rose into the air like a shooting star, and almost at the same time as the first prince, he stepped on the tree crown of the Tree of Dao Verification!
At the instant he stepped on it, Su Ming charged towards the slightly smaller Phala. As for the first prince, his target was the larger Phala. The two of them had different goals, but their direction was the same.
"You're just asking for death!" Killing intent shone in the first prince's eyes. He lifted his right hand and flung it forward. Immediately, a vast power that belonged to a Great Dao Paragon charged towards Su Ming.
"I'll help you …" At that instant, the child-like voice appeared again. Suddenly, the Tree of Dao Verification, which had stood tall and still for countless years, started swaying.
