The shooting stars from Sky Mist City were still moving in the sky above the nine continents of Heaven Gate. Before the three Great Treasures of Freezing Sky Clan's Frozen Ice Sky could be seen, the moment everyone's gazes were trained on them, they stirred up a violent gust of wind with a shocking presence and let out deafening roars.
The nine shooting stars in the sky were blue and red intersecting with each other. The moment they flew towards them, the sky trembled, as if it could not withstand the might of these nine shooting stars.
Nine long gashes that could not be seen with the end were left behind them. A murderous presence spread out from the nine shooting stars to the ground.
Su Ming was stunned. Zi Che was stunned. Almost all the people in Freezing Sky Clan were stunned at that instant. Even the Heaven Gate disciples were the same.
The appearance of the nine shooting stars was too sudden. No one was prepared for it. More importantly, Su Ming saw Tian Xie Zi walking in the air, saw shocking long arcs charging out from the other summits, and also saw the dozen something people swiftly walking out from Heaven Gate.
He might not be able to see these people's faces clearly, but as they appeared, an indescribable pressure filled the air. Ripples distorted, and it was as if the sky had turned into seawater that stirred up huge waves.
Once the nine shooting stars closed in on Freezing Sky Clan, they came to an abrupt halt, causing ripples to spread out in the sky. They floated around Freezing Sky Clan's Heaven Gate as if they were connected by a strange Rune. Blue and red light shone brilliantly.
Su Ming lifted his head and stared at them. He had a bad feeling about this. In truth, he was not the only one who felt this way. Almost all the Freezing Sky Clan disciples who had lifted their heads to look at the sky felt the same way.
"Nine shooting stars … Why did they appear, and what do they mean..?" Su Ming mumbled and immediately looked towards the seventh summit. He could vaguely see Tian Lan Meng standing on the seventh summit.
'Perhaps she knows …' Su Ming fell silent.
Yet at that moment, suddenly, a piercing whistle came from the sky in the distance. The moment it appeared, it immediately attracted all the people's gazes towards the source of the whistle.
Tian Xie Zi's expression had a rarely seen solemn expression. The expressions of the people who had arrived around him were originally gloomy. However, when they heard the whistling sound, all of their expressions changed greatly. In fact, there was even fear and shock on their faces.
The source of the whistling sound was a shooting star in the distant sky!
A meteor that was also intertwined with blue and red light. It was … the tenth meteor!!
At the instant the tenth shooting star appeared, fear gradually appeared on Tian Lan Meng's originally pale face as she stood on the seventh summit. This was an expression that was rarely seen on her. Compared to her usual elegant demeanor, she shuddered, as if she was about to lose her footing. Fear appeared on her face, and grief appeared in her eyes.
"Ten …" Tian Lan Meng staggered a few steps backwards. She gritted her teeth and swiftly flew up into the sky.
As she flew into the sky, the tenth meteor had already arrived. It intersected with the previous nine, forming a huge circle.
Soon after, the instant the meteors formed the circle, a low voice that seemed to have pierced through time and space came from within the ten shooting stars.
"Heaven …" The ancient voice reverberated in the air. That voice had only uttered this one word, but it was this one word that caused the ice on the ground to rumble, the sky to distort, and Su Ming's ears to ring. Besides this one word, he could not hear anything else.
Su Ming was not the only one who could not hear it. Zi Che, who was beside him, could not hear it either. In fact, Hu Zi, who was on the ninth summit, could not hear it either. His ears were filled with buzzing sounds.
That buzzing sound continued echoing in the air. The eighth summit, the seventh summit, and the nine summits of the Great Frozen Plains could not hear anything else besides the first word. All they could hear were the booming sounds in their ears.
Freezing Plains Clan was not the only one who felt this way. Heaven Gate was the same. All the disciples could only hear the booming sounds, but they could not hear anything else. This was a suppression of power. This was a divine ability that was intentionally created.
This divine ability was not harmful. Its only use was to allow those who had the right to hear it to hear it, and those who did not have the right to hear it would not be able to hear it!
If anyone wanted to hear the voice contained within the ten shooting stars, then they had to be at least in the Berserker Soul Realm. From this alone, it could be seen that the words that the voice was about to say would definitely be a shocking secret.
There were less than a few dozen people in the entire Freezing Sky Clan who could hear that voice, and almost all of them were the truly powerful Berserkers of Freezing Sky Clan!
The booming sounds continued ringing in Su Ming's ears. Besides that, he could not hear any other sound around him. His mind was clear. He looked at the dozen something people surrounding the ten shooting stars in the sky and saw their expressions changing rapidly. Tian Lan Meng was among them. She was shivering and her face was stark pale, without a hint of blood.
Su Ming knew that something shocking must have happened … A glint appeared in his eyes. If he could not hear anything with his ears, then perhaps he could with his divine sense.
Without a hint of hesitation, Su Ming spread his divine sense outwards and turned it into a thin thread that stretched into the sky. As it spread outwards, Su Ming shuddered. He could feel a powerful force repelling his divine sense, causing it to be unable to go any deeper once it spread outwards for a short distance.
Yet even so, he could still hear a faint voice in his head.
"… This matter … Three thousand years … of observation …"
The voice was very faint, but Su Ming had indeed heard it. He lifted his right hand and quickly brought out a few golden stone coins from his bosom. With a squeeze of his hand, the stone coins immediately shattered. At the same time they turned into ashes and disappeared, a vast amount of spiritual aura surged into the opened path in Su Ming's body. As it circulated in his body, his divine sense charged forward and went even deeper.
"The others … may be terrified … but … panic …"
Su Ming saw the expressions of the people in the sky changing once again. Tian Xie Zi's clothes were also showing signs of changing. Su Ming was shocked and quickly brought out a large amount of golden stone coins. At that moment, no one paid any attention to Su Ming's actions. Those who could hear his words were paying full attention to him, and those who could not hear his words felt their minds go blank due to the continuous booming sounds in their ears.
Su Ming brought out a large amount of stone coins. Once they shattered around his body, the spiritual aura surged into his body, causing his divine sense to spread outwards madly and draw closer to the area covered by the ten shooting stars in the sky.
"Eastern Sea … Freezing Sky … One Hundred Years … Lives Lost … Land …"
With each additional word he heard, the uneasiness in Su Ming's heart grew stronger. He wanted to know the truth. He lifted his hands and immediately, a large amount of stone coins flew out and surrounded his body. Once they shattered, Su Ming's divine sense gathered together a powerful force of impact, and with a loud bang, he sent his divine sense into the area covered by the ten shooting stars!
At that instant, for the first time, the ancient voice did not stop. It appeared in Su Ming's mind in its complete form and was no longer indistinct.
"This is the calamity of the Land of South Morning. It is enough for those in the Berserker Soul Realm to know about it. It is fortunate that the others do not know about it … Once the ten shooting stars scatter, I will head to the land of the Shamans for the final time to investigate. If this is truly the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands … then you must make your decision as soon as possible. Are you going to migrate …?"
When the ancient voice said those words, it let out a long sigh. Once it did so, the ten shooting stars shuddered and crumbled at the same time, turning into ashes that tumbled backwards and charged into the sky, disappearing without a trace.
Once they disappeared, the Freezing Sky Clan disciples no longer heard the booming sounds in their ears. Everything returned to normal, and they looked at the sky with dazed expressions.
Tian Xie Zi returned to the top of the ninth summit in the sky. As for the others, they returned to their own mountains and Heaven Gate with dark expressions on their faces.
Tian Lan Meng's face was pale as she staggered back to the seventh summit.
At the same time, an old voice traveled out from Heaven Gate and echoed in the ears of all the Freezing Sky Clan disciples.
"The Shamans have changed and are moving out ahead of schedule … That's why Sky Mist City is sending out a warning. It's fine, don't panic … All Freezing Sky Clan disciples who want to join the battle, listen to me. Gather at Frozen Sky tomorrow morning and immediately head to Sky Mist City to protect it!"
The old voice was very calm. When it traveled through the air and fell into the ears of all the disciples, it was as if there was a calming force that made them snap out of their bewilderment and guesses, no longer letting their imaginations run wild.
"The Berserker Tribe and the Shamans have been fighting frequently. This sort of thing has happened a few times before, but it's not normal for them to move out ahead of schedule during the war that happens once every hundred years. That's why all of you must be careful … You must stop all the Shamans' actions, because right behind you is the land of the Berserker Tribe …"
As the old man's voice echoed in the air, the Freezing Sky Clan disciples fell silent. They might not be letting their imaginations run wild, but their fighting spirit had been ignited.
"Tomorrow morning, we will go to battle!" Once the old voice said the last sentence, all the people from Freezing Sky Clan who wanted to go to battle bowed towards the sky and let out a loud roar.
"Go!"
"Go!"
The voices came one after another, turning into a wave of sound that reverberated through the land of Freezing Sky Clan.
Su Ming stood there with a pale face. He might not have heard all the voices from the ten shooting stars, but he had heard some of the secrets from them, and he knew clearly that the voice from Heaven Gate was lying!
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the voice was avoiding the main point and dwelling on the trivial, not telling him the true source of the problem.
'The Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands … Just what does this mean..?' The excited voices echoed in Su Ming's ears. He looked towards the seventh summit, then at the top of the ninth summit. In silence, he took a few steps back and returned to his cave abode.
'If Master doesn't want to tell me, then it'll be the same even if I ask him … Besides, Master isn't the only one who can tell me about this. There's also Tian Lan Meng.' Su Ming sat down cross-legged in his cave abode. The excited voices by his ears had mostly faded away.
'Is the war about to start..? I still have something important that I haven't done yet.' Su Ming closed his eyes.
