Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half a year went by. It had been a whole year since Hong Luo caused the chaos in the land of the Shamans.
There had been several large-scale battles outside Sky Mist City in the past year, and there were even more small-scale battles, which were becoming more and more intense. The defensive power of Sky Mist City was also gradually weakening, and most of the powerful Berserkers of the Berserker Tribe were stationed in Sky Mist City.
A rumor regarding the Eastern Wastelands Abode was spreading among the Berserkers, and most of the people who heard it were skeptical.
There were no longer any tribes near the edge of the Dead Sea in the land of the Shamans. Almost a seventh of the tribes had started migrating.
However, there were still some tribes who did not migrate. These tribes were either too weak to migrate, or they were small tribes. Even if they migrated, it would be difficult for them to travel such a long distance, so they … decided to stay in their homes.
White Bull Tribe was one of these tribes. They had struggled, thought about it, and had the urge to migrate. They had even sent people out to search for other migrating tribes that passed by, but in the end, they had to give up.
This place was remote to begin with. Unless they brought their tribe members out for a long time, they might run into migrating tribes, but they might not run into them. If that was the case, then it would be better for them to stay in the tribe.
During the last month of this half a year, the Patriarch of White Bull Tribe, the monkey-faced old man, went to the mountain range where Su Ming's cave abode was several times. He had always felt that there was something off about this place, and when he learned of everything that had happened in Black Crane Tribe, he became even more suspicious of the strangeness of Su Ming's cave abode.
He came many times, and every single time, the old man would be very polite. He would respectfully shout that he wanted to see Su Ming, but he never received a reply. However, the old man did not give up. He would come every few days.
Time passed by just like that. The Fire Ape lay lazily within the seal of the mountain range. The small snake flew about in midair, and as for the Poison Corpse, he continued standing outside the cave abode. He did not move even once during the past half a year.
The ice on the frozen Gate to the Void had remained there during the past half a year. It was letting out waves of freezing air, and it had never melted.
At that moment, Su Ming was in a world of glaciers under the black seawater. He was sitting cross-legged on an ice mountain. His body was completely sealed in ice, and his clone was by his side, acting as his Dharma protector for half a year.
There was no longer any blood flowing out of Su Ming's back. His wound had also slowly healed during the past half a year. When he looked over, he could only see the bump on the Lightning Crystal of Inheritance. As for the Wind Crystal of Inheritance, it was practically invisible.
There were four Berserker Bones in Su Ming's spine, but at that moment, the fifth bone was flashing with a green light, and it looked like it had changed. Its appearance might not have changed, but the feeling it gave off was similar to the Wind Crystal of Berserker. It was as if the shrunken Wind Crystal of Berserker had been absorbed by the fifth Berserker Bone.
Another month went by. On this day, the layer of ice around Su Ming, who had isolated himself in this place for seven months, suddenly shuddered. At the same time it started cracking, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes.
The instant he opened his eyes, besides the profound look in his eyes, there seemed to be a whirlwind that appeared in a vortex. At the same time, the layer of ice around him shattered with a bang, allowing Su Ming to regain his mobility.
He quietly sensed the changes in his body, and he could clearly feel that he had become much stronger compared to before he went into isolation. More importantly …
'Sun Genesis, huh..?' Su Ming lowered his head and looked at his right hand. A brilliant light shone in his eyes. When he was trying to understand the Wind Berserker's legacy, he had tried the Art of Sun Genesis countless times during that chance to gain an epiphany. Under that sort of epiphany, Su Ming felt as if he had been reborn in that illusion filled with wind.
He clenched his fists lightly and stood up slowly. The moment he did so, his clone behind him also stood up.
Su Ming did not turn his head back. Instead, he stared at the world of glaciers beyond the layer of ice on the ice mountain's shell. After a moment of pensive silence, his gaze fell on the place where the green-scaled man was sealed in ice eight hundred feet away.
After thinking about it for a moment, Su Ming lifted his right hand and touched the layer of ice before him. Immediately, cracking sounds rang out and cracks appeared on the ice. After a moment, it shattered, and a gush of black seawater instantly surged in. However, the instant the seawater surged in, Su Ming had already walked out of the ice mountain. His clone followed behind him.
He did not bother himself with the ice mountain behind him. A wave of pressure descended on him in the black seawater, causing his entire body to feel cold, but his expression remained the same as ever as he slowly walked forward.
One step at a time, when he was eight hundred feet away from the ice mountain and arrived at the place where the green-scaled man was sealed in ice, Su Ming once again felt that he was different from before. Before he fused with the Wind Crystal of Inheritance, eight hundred feet was his limit, but now, he felt that he could still walk several hundreds of feet.
As he stared at the ice mountain that sealed the green-scaled man, Su Ming clenched his right hand into a fist and punched it. At the same time, his clone behind him took a step forward and pointed at the air with two fingers.
Immediately, circles of dense cracks appeared on the layer of ice where Su Ming's fist landed. Green light shone, and the small sword flew out from his clone's side. When it pierced the crack, Su Ming lifted his right hand, and when the small sword retreated, he pressed his palm on the spot once again.
This repeated several times. As the cracks on the layer of ice slowly spread inwards, the shards of ice on the outer layer also fell off.
Su Ming's spirits lifted and he increased his speed. With his clone's help, they gradually dug out a hole on the ice mountain. Behind that hole was the black wooden club with nine fangs in the green-scaled man's hand.
As the layer of ice continued becoming thinner and was only three inches away from the tip of the club, a violent ripple suddenly traveled out from the black seawater above the glacier. At the same time, Su Ming heard a low, muffled roar in his ears.
Soon after, a gigantic, indistinct figure appeared in the black seawater. It was charging towards them rapidly, and as it closed in, that low roar shook the glacier and caused the seawater to tumble. The pressure that was formed caused Su Ming's heart to tremble.
His eyes sparkled. At that moment, a hole big enough for a person to fit into the ice mountain before him had already been dug out. It was less than three inches away from the club, and before long, he would be able to dig through it. However, the low roar made Su Ming hesitate for a moment before a resolute look appeared on his face. He immediately clenched his right hand into a fist and rammed it against the three-inch-thin layer of ice. His clone attacked at the same time, intending to break the layer of ice before the unknown ferocious beast arrived.
Yet the instant Su Ming attacked, the low roar traveled into his ears with a bang, as if it was right beside his ears. The seawater around him started distorting, and a huge wave of impact came crashing towards him with a bang.
Su Ming's expression changed. Without a hint of hesitation, he immediately crawled into the hole that had been dug out. At the same time, his clone crawled in as well and blocked the entrance. At that moment, Su Ming felt the entire ground of the glacier tremble. His pupils shrank, and he saw a gigantic ferocious beast with an astonishing presence descending from the seawater.
It was a two-headed dark turtle!
The two gigantic heads were outside the shell of the turtle, and they were staring coldly at the layer of ice where Su Ming was hiding. At the same time a fierce glare appeared in their eyes, they swung their tails and lifted them up. There was another head on their tails!
This was not a two-headed turtle, it was a three-headed dark turtle!
Its body was not too big, only about a thousand feet tall. As it stood on the glacier, there were not many ripples of aura coming from its body, but the presence of its Qi made Su Ming's heart tremble.
Roar!
The three heads of the dark turtle roared at Su Ming at the same time, but it just stood there. Besides roaring, it did not do anything else. Su Ming hid in the layer of ice. His clone was outside, and he was also sealed by the recovering ice mountain. He looked at the three-headed dark turtle outside and groaned in his heart.
Yet gradually, Su Ming noticed something strange about the dark turtle. The beast only roared, but did not attack. This stunned Su Ming.
He fell into pensive silence for a moment. When he saw that the ice mountain was gradually sealing up, he lifted his right hand and hurled a punch at the thin layer of ice that had once again shrunk to three inches. Cracking sounds reverberated in the air, and the thin layer of ice turned into two inches.
It was also at that moment that the three-headed dark turtle roared even louder, as if it had gone mad. It took a huge step forward, and as it got closer to the ice mountain, its tail charged towards the ice mountain with a whistle, but it did not hit it. Instead, it swept past the side of the ice mountain, and the dark turtle's expression became even more savage. It glared at Su Ming and started growling.
'This beast's Qi is so strong. It's clear that it possesses great power. It's something I've never seen before … but it doesn't seem to know any divine abilities.' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
'And judging by its actions just now … Could it be that this beast can't destroy the ice mountain in this place..? Could it be that it's the guardian beast of this place?' A thought appeared in Su Ming's head. He moved closer to the thin layer of ice, and immediately, the dark turtle's growls became even louder. It swung its tail back and forth, letting out piercing howls.
Su Ming immediately shrank back and moved a little further away from the thin layer of ice. The dark turtle visibly relaxed and no longer looked at Su Ming. Instead, it stared at the green-scaled man who was a few inches away from the thin layer of ice.
Su Ming was incredibly nervous at that moment, but his mind was calm. Once he saw the dark turtle's actions, he knew that the longer he stayed in this place, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. That was why he sent a thought to his clone.
His clone immediately lifted two of his fingers and tapped the ice around the perimeter. Since the ice had only been sealed for a short period of time, that one tap immediately created a small hole. A black beetle immediately flew out of Su Ming's clone and crawled out through the small hole.
Su Ming stared at the small insect. Once it flew out, the dark turtle only cast it a glance and ignored it. It simply allowed the insect to fly 800 feet back to the ice mountain where the Gate to the Void was located.
