Time seemed to have frozen in an instant.
The rumbling sounds of the Relocation Rune in Su Ming's ears also disappeared in an instant, as if time had stopped. He turned his head around swiftly, and what he saw made his pupils shrink. He became alert and took a deep breath.
He saw that everything around him had stopped moving. The light from the Rune did not move, the ground around him did not move, but strangely, Han Mountain remained as it was before his eyes, but there was no one there. The three tribes were still the same, but there was no one there either.
Even Fang Cang Lan, Han Fei Zi, and the others who had been by his side had disappeared without a trace. It was as if Su Ming was the only person left in the world.
It was as if the world had changed the moment the old voice reached his ears.
The world before his eyes turned into an empty world without any signs of life. This drastic change made Su Ming's heart tremble.
He could not imagine just what sort of power could do this. To him, it was a little unbelievable.
"This is the Void World I created." The same voice that had reached his ears previously traveled forth languidly from the distance. Along with that voice was an old man dressed in white sitting on Tranquil East Mountain in the distance.
The old man held a pot of wine in his hands. Once he took a sip, he looked at Su Ming.
"Come, let's talk."
Su Ming's heart pounded against his chest. His gaze focused on the old man, and after a moment, he looked around him. There was no sign of life on Lake of Colors Mountain. Besides him and the old man, there was no one else in the world around him.
After a moment of hesitation, Su Ming lifted his feet and tried walking out of the Relocation Rune. Once he did so, he immediately turned his head back to look at the Relocation Rune. The light from the Rune did not move, and the unmoving light looked like an illusion.
Su Ming forced down the shock in his heart and slowly rose into the air. He walked forward until he arrived at Tranquil East Mountain and stood 100 something feet away from the old man.
"Come, sit beside me." The old man put down the pot of wine and swept his gaze past Su Ming. There was a hint of praise on his face.
Su Ming walked towards the old man quietly and obeyed him by sitting down.
"Curious?" The old man scrutinized Su Ming, then lifted his right hand and pointed at the area in front of him. Immediately, the air before Su Ming distorted, and a pot of wine appeared.
"What is a Void World?" The instant the pot of wine appeared, Su Ming's heart pounded against his chest, and he looked towards the old man.
"Void Space is a Bone Sacrifice Realm cultivator. When most of the bones in his body have reached Berserker Bone Realm, he can communicate with the world and create his own world.
"Because it isn't real, it's an illusion, that's why it's called empty. Because it's formed in the body, it's separated by the skin and flesh, so it can't spread out, that's why it's called a world." The old man picked up the pot of wine, and once he took a sip, he looked at Su Ming.
"This old man's Void Realm is not complete, and can only create a world that I see. There are no living beings inside, and to be able to bring you in, is already not easy."
Su Ming fell silent. This was the first time he heard of Empty Realms.
"Blood Solidification, Transcendence, Bone Sacrifice, Berserker Soul. These are the four great realms practiced by us Berserkers. You must first understand the meaning behind these four realms and understand why they are divided this way. Only then will it be possible for you to move forward step by step, "the old man said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter whether you can become my disciple or not. It's fate that we met. I can guide you. Why is there a word for blood in the Blood Solidification Realm?" The old man looked towards Su Ming.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment before he answered softly, "Because we Berserkers inherit our bloodline. Our blood contains the power of the Berserker Tribe, but it's thin. Only by continuously gathering it together can it erupt forth."
"That's right. In a broad sense, this is correct. But you still don't understand the meaning behind it. "The old man lifted his right hand and drew a line in the sky.
With that one line, a line of blood immediately appeared in the sky. That line of blood let out a piercing red light.
"Look carefully. I'll only make a prediction for you once. Once you look at it, tell me your answer. This is my first test for you. If you succeed, then you will become my disciple in name. If you fail, then you will go back to where you came from." The old man cast Su Ming a deep look and waved his right hand once again.
The moment he waved his hand, the blood line in the sky trembled and a few branches appeared on it. Those branches split up once again, and eventually, the blood line that appeared before Su Ming's eyes looked as if there were countless of them, but if he took a closer look, he would find that there was only one blood line.
That one blood line had an endless amount of branches. As they split up, they gathered together in midair and formed the shape of a person. Red light shone and illuminated the entire area.
When he saw this, Su Ming took a deep breath. He felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head. The blood veins that he originally thought had disappeared from his body and turned into his Berserker Mark appeared once again and covered his entire body.
This strange sight made Su Ming's body shudder.
"So, blood lines … didn't disappear after Transcendence …" As Su Ming mumbled, the human figure formed by the blood lines in the sky changed once again.
The blood lines intertwined with each other, and gradually, pictures of mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, stars, plants, and ferocious beasts appeared around it. These pictures continued flashing, and with every single one that appeared, the blood lines that formed the human figure would change in a different way. They moved as if they were trying to match the illusionary pictures around them.
The final picture that appeared was that of a mountain, a mountain with five fingers. That mountain looked exactly like Su Ming's Mountain Mark!
The moment the mountain with five fingers appeared, plants appeared on it. There were trees, and the ground. The entire mountain with five fingers looked as if it had gained life. As it continued being perfected, it gradually turned into a real mountain and was no longer an illusion.
When it completely turned into reality, Su Ming saw the mountain fusing together with the blood lines once again. Slowly, the mountain became the body, and the body became the mountain!
The mountain filled every single part of the blood line figure's body. It was as if a totem had been carved on it, and it seemed to have become the flesh and skin of the blood line figure!
The moment Su Ming saw this, the blood lines that had just appeared in his body started circulating. His body trembled furiously, as if he could no longer control it. His face immediately turned pale, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
A haggard feeling filled his heart. This feeling came from the sight he saw, and it triggered the Qi in his body.
"Do you want to continue?" The old man sitting beside Su Ming looked at him and asked languidly.
"Continue!" Su Ming gritted his teeth.
In the sky, the person who had fused together with the mountain and turned into skin was a person if he was a person. If he was a mountain, then he was a mountain! A vast and mighty presence spread out from the person's body, turning into a powerful pressure that enveloped the entire land.
Soon after, a golden bone appeared within the person's body. The number of bones slowly increased, and after a moment, a complete spine appeared.
That was not the end. Once the spine appeared, as time passed by, a complete skeleton appeared within the person's body!
There was a silhouette, a skeleton, flesh, and skin. It was a complete person.
However, he did not have a soul, and neither did he have a spirit. This person had his eyes closed and could not open them. Su Ming could sense an emptiness in his body, as if he was in deep sleep and had yet to wake up.
"When I open my eyes, I'll be in the Berserker Soul Realm." As the old man calmly spoke, he lowered his right hand. The instant his hand fell, the figure in the sky distorted and disappeared into the void.
"I'll wait for your answer here." The old man closed his eyes.
Su Ming sat there and stared blankly at the disappearing figures in the sky. Everything he had seen appeared in his head. After a long while, he closed his eyes.
Time slowly passed. In this Void Realm, there was no sun, moon, and stars moving. It was as if the flow of time had also stopped.
The old man still had his eyes closed. He did not open them. He was patient enough to wait for Su Ming's answer, but before long, the old man opened his eyes and looked towards Su Ming.
Su Ming's body did not move, but the blood veins that had appeared on his body were flashing furiously at that moment. Two of them had fused together.
There was a surprised look in the old man's eyes as he looked at the two blood veins that had fused together.
'What great comprehensive abilities!'
Once two of the blood veins on Su Ming's body fused together, the speed of their fusion increased abruptly. The blood veins fused together one by one, and several hours later, under the old man's admiring gaze, all the blood veins on Su Ming's body fused together into one.
That blood vein shone with a red light and slowly appeared on Su Ming's face. Once it turned into the Mark of the Mountain with the Five Fingers, it started spreading down Su Ming's neck. The old man saw this and was stunned.
'His Berserker Mark is in the form of a mountain. Now that he has truly completed the Blood Solidification Realm, why is it still spreading..?'
The blood vein was hidden under Su Ming's robes, and when it finally fused into his Berserker Mark, the old man beside him widened his eyes in shock. He sucked in a sharp breath. At that moment, he could no longer care about his status. He lifted his right hand and swung it at Su Ming's body. Immediately, the upper half of Su Ming's robes disappeared, and what appeared before the old man was the complete Berserker Mark he had drawn on Su Ming's body!
Dark Mountain Tribe!
The moment the old man saw the Berserker Mark, he sucked in a sharp breath and was momentarily stunned. He had seen countless Berserker Marks in his life, and he had also seen some complicated ones, but he had never seen a Berserker Mark like the one on Su Ming's body. Its complexity was unprecedented.
"Is this … a Berserker Mark..? This boy is even crazier than I am …" the old man mumbled, and shock appeared on his face.
"I originally thought that the Voice of Soul Creation he let out was the complete manifestation of his Berserker Mark … But by the looks of it now, the Mountain Mark created by the Voice of Soul Creation is just a part of his Berserker Mark!
"This sort of Berserker Mark will either not be able to grow and turn into dust, or … once it grows, it will definitely shock the entire Berserker Tribe!
"Just what happened after I left that day..?" The old man was in slight disbelief. He suddenly regretted his decision to leave in disappointment in the past.
His face was filled with regret, but he immediately noticed something. His expression immediately changed from regret to a smile and an unfathomable expression. He even swung his right hand at Su Ming's body, causing his robes to appear once again. Only then did he let out a fake cough and put on the air of a senior as he looked at Su Ming.
At that moment, Su Ming opened his eyes slowly. There was a brilliant light in his eyes, and it was filled with understanding.
