Su Ming's heart trembled. He had already checked the corpse with his divine sense and his gaze. He had no idea how many years it had been since the corpse had died, and its body had already dried up.
Yet at that moment, when the corpse suddenly grabbed his arm, a huge storm raged in his heart. He was so shaken that he almost forgot about the ferocious beasts that were roaring and charging towards him from the distance.
Su Ming's pupils shrank when he saw something that had suddenly appeared outside of his consciousness.
"I found … the third … He's … in … the …" A faint, dark light shone in the corpse's eyes, but before he could finish speaking, that light immediately faded away, and the dried up hand that was grabbing Su Ming fell.
Su Ming's heart trembled, but he did not have much time to think about it. Once he grabbed the corpse's armor, a transparent jade slip about the size of a palm flowed out of the corpse. Due to its transparency, it was difficult to discover it. Su Ming had only managed to catch a glimpse of it when he yanked off the purple armor. Without a hint of hesitation, he swept up the transparent jade slip with his arm and charged forward. The instant the squirming things crawled out of the walls around him, he immediately left into the distance.
The moment he left, the bumps on the walls around him shattered, and ferocious beasts that were clearly different from the fog beasts Su Ming had seen previously rushed out while roaring.
These ferocious beasts looked like pythons, but they had indistinct human faces. Forked tongues flicked out of their mouths, and a ghastly look appeared in their eyes. They slammed their tails against the ground and immediately flew up to chase after Su Ming.
At the same time, the bone spikes on the ground exploded once they pierced through the ground and turned into small gray humanoids with long tails. Besides the slits for eyes and mouths, there was another slit at the top of their heads. That slit was now mostly torn open, as if there was something strange inside that wanted to crawl out of their skulls.
Other than the fog beast and the Bone Fiend, the crying white figures that floated over behind them were also different. Their facial features were originally hidden under their hair and were somewhat blurry. However, at this moment, they all raised their heads and revealed their beautiful faces. The charm between their brows, in particular, was enough to cause people to become infatuated after looking at them.
Su Ming could not see any of this. At that moment, he was charging forward at his fastest speed. He had already lost his connection with the small snake, and his heart was filled with anxiety, but he could still sense the final spot where his connection with the small snake had been cut off!
As he continued charging forward, a long period of time passed by, and the tunnel before him immediately widened by a large margin. What appeared before Su Ming was a gigantic flesh hole that was as big as a field!
This was the place where he had lost contact with the little snake!
The moment he arrived, Su Ming saw a strange object that looked like the crown of a tree at the center of the gigantic hole. It was made up of thick black tendons intertwining with each other!
At the top of the black tendon was a withered ball of flesh that was nearly 10,000 feet wide. The ball of flesh was filled with bumps, and it was greyish-black in color. Many parts of it had shriveled up.
Su Ming also saw nearly a hundred brilliant crystal shards floating above the ball of flesh. The crystal shards were of different sizes, but each of them exuded a feeling that made Su Ming's mind feel as if it was being sucked in when he looked at them. It was as if he was looking at another world.
There were a total of 97 of these crystal shards!
They floated around the ball of flesh, and if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see black lines connecting these shards to the ball of flesh.
Almost the instant Su Ming arrived, the gigantic ball of flesh shrank and instantly swelled up a little. It was facing Su Ming, and a crack slowly tore open on the ball of flesh. As that crack continued spreading outwards, Su Ming saw with just one glance that there was a head in the depths of that crack!
It was a woman's head. She had long hair, but that was just her head. Her neck was made up of black tendons. At that moment, the woman's eyes were closed, and her face was pale. There was not a hint of life in her. There was a shining mark at the center of her brows, and the shape of that mark looked like a star.
Su Ming's small snake floated quietly beside the woman's head. There was no sign of struggle on its face, only confusion. Wisps of white smoke seeped out of its body and seeped into the mark at the center of the woman's brows.
"This is the fate of the Candles of Darkness … You can't stop it …" At the instant Su Ming saw the small snake, the ancient voice that had once spoken echoed in his ears.
He could not tell whether the voice belonged to a man or a woman, but Su Ming could clearly tell that it was an old woman's voice.
"There is only a hint of the Candles of Darkness' blood in its body, but as long as it has that blood, it will be one of us … This is fate. The Candles of Darkness will devour each other, and it ran into me now. This is fate …
"Before it lost its consciousness, its only wish was for its master to leave this place safely … You are its master. As long as you don't anger me during the sacred ceremony, then once the ceremony is over, I will let you leave safely." There was a merciless tone to that ancient voice as it echoed in Su Ming's head.
Su Ming looked at the small snake, at its closed eyes, at its unmoving body, and he clenched his right fist. The Divine General Armor appeared once again, and when he clenched his right fist, he did not hold a fist, but an illusionary spiked club!
The Berserker Mark on his face shone, and the seven Berserker Bones in his body shone with a piercing golden light, causing Su Ming to look as if he was surrounded by golden light. At the same time, the Nascent Soul in his body also started forming seals with its hands. It might not have gone out, but Su Ming's Dantian region was already prepared for a huge battle.
The small virescent sword flashed before Su Ming, and as that green light filled the air, Su Ming did not waste a single word. He took a step forward and charged towards the gigantic mass of flesh.
"I might only be a remnant of my will … but how dare an ant like you offend me … Flesh and blood in the fog, form your body with my will!"
As the ancient voice echoed in the air calmly, the python-like fog beasts among the endless amount of ferocious beasts chasing after Su Ming suddenly exploded as they roared. Once an unknown number of these fog beasts exploded, their bodies turned into pieces of rotting flesh and blood that appeared out of thin air before Su Ming, who was charging towards them.
That flesh and blood swiftly gathered together to form a gigantic body that was ten thousand feet tall before Su Ming. That body was like a snake, and it was entirely crimson. It had a dragon's head, and it looked ferocious. Its eyes were gray, and each of its scales was the size of a head.
An indescribable aura suddenly spread out from the body of this strange beast.
"Tormented spirit in my bones, form my bone veins with my will!" The ancient voice appeared once again, and this time, the Bone Fiends that appeared behind Su Ming turned into sharp needles that charged towards the ten thousand feet body. They stabbed into its body, and the strange dragon snake started moving. The gray light in its eyes became even stronger.
"Spirit formed by my soul, form my soul with my will …" The instant the ancient voice said those words, the white figures behind Su Ming fused together with piercing cries and charged towards the dragon snake. The instant they disappeared into its body, the dragon snake's eyes shone brilliantly, as if two moons and suns had lit up in its eyes. It let out a low roar towards the sky, and the gray light in its eyes shone. As if it had been revived, it charged towards Su Ming with a roar.
Su Ming held the spiked club in his right hand, and with a swing, the spiked club grew several times larger before it swung towards the dragon snake. At the same time, Su Ming drew a line with his left hand with Berserker Obliteration!
Soon after, the Nascent Soul in his body let out a piercing screech, and a large amount of ripples appeared in the area. All the divine abilities that the Nascent Soul could cast from Hong Luo's legacy were all executed at that instant.
A violent boom reverberated in the area and spread out in all directions. Once that boom faded away, Su Ming's spiked club was bounced off and fell to the side. All the divine abilities that his Nascent Soul had cast crumbled, causing his Nascent Soul to instantly wither away and look as if it was on the verge of dispersing.
His Divine General Armor exploded, and his Berserker Obliteration was of no use at all. All of his techniques were rendered useless before this dragon snake!
As the dragon snake closed in on him, Su Ming coughed up blood. His body was forced back a hundred something feet due to the booming sounds, but there was not a hint of panic in his eyes.
"You're indeed very weak. No matter how much of your will you have left, you still can't hide your fear …" As Su Ming laughed coldly, he lifted his right hand, formed a seal, and pointed forward. Immediately, Han Mountain Bell manifested. This time, Su Ming did not use any form of defense when Han Mountain Bell appeared. Instead, he used his strongest sixth head's power!
If Su Ming had not seen the white figure screaming and retreating when he summoned the Nine-Headed Dragon's sixth head when he was in the world outside, and if the small snake had not let out a wary roar when he first summoned the Nine-Headed Dragon, that scene of it looking as if it had run into its mortal enemy had left a deep impression on him.
If that had not been the case, then he would have been hesitant once he entered the Candle Dragon's body and would not have known how to fight against the Candle Dragon's will, even though it was already dead. Yet all of these were just 'if's'!
"Nine-Headed Dragon, Southern Emperor's Ability!" Once Su Ming's Han Mountain Bell appeared, he lifted his right hand, formed a seal, and pointed forward. He did not even bother wiping off the blood at the corners of his lips, but instead let out a low murmur, and Han Mountain Bell immediately let out a powerful roar.
The instant that roar reverberated in the air, a wary look appeared on the ten thousand feet dragon snake's face. It even let out a roar, and it looked exactly the same as the small snake in the past. It looked as if it had run into its mortal enemy!
"You should have noticed it when I cast this in the world outside! "You did everything in your power to have those ferocious beasts stop me and kill me when I entered your dead body because you were weak. Perhaps I might not be able to fight against you, but I have something here that makes you afraid!
"This is it!" As Su Ming spoke, the roars from Han Mountain Bell became even stronger. At the same time, the gigantic nine-headed beast that was ten thousand feet tall manifested on Han Mountain Bell. Six of its heads roared at the dragon snake at the same time, and the remaining three sleeping heads also started trembling faintly.
By the looks of it, the Nine-Headed Dragon's spirit's expression and gaze were filled with wariness and hatred, as if the Candle Dragon was also its mortal enemy!
'Nine-Headed Dragon … Nine-Headed Dragon …' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
I don't want to come to Li Jiang anymore. I'll gasp for breath with just a few steps, and I have to take medicine to prevent altitude sickness every single day. The prices in the hotels are also incredibly expensive. It was already very late on the day I came, and I had to spend 200 something on a few bowls of noodles.
I'm going to faint. Writing in the highlands is really torturous … Please recommend me. I really want to explode, I really do, but I'm not in the right place at the right time. I'll wrap my fist in my palm and apologize. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
