Su Ming did not believe in everything the Candle Dragon said. However … even if he did believe in it, it would still be difficult for him to watch his snake being devoured just for the sake of obtaining great power and a great serendipity.
'When a man lives in the world, he must live with a clear conscience … I, Su Ming, desire power, desire to tear apart fate with my own hands, but … if I can give up on my snake today to obtain these things, then tomorrow, I will also give up on everything else for my desire to become even stronger.' After giving up time and time again, perhaps the next thing I will give up on will be Dark Mountain. The next thing will be my dream, and the next thing will be my memories …
'Even if I give up on everything, at that time … will I still be me..? I desire power, desire to become stronger, but the source of all this is that I will not give up on anything!
'With my heart, even if I turn into a fiend, even if my hands are stained with blood, I will still have a clear conscience!' a voice that belonged to Su Ming was mumbling softly in his heart.
He had been searching for Dark Mountain all this while, but if he gave up on Dark Mountain in the process of searching for it, then he would have lost his own soul.
Some of his memories had awakened. The woman's faint call would occasionally appear in his mind. If he had to give up on that voice calling out to him to obtain something, then what would he do..?
There were some things that once happened once, they would happen a second time, a third time …
He did not stop for even a single moment. He hurled his fist straight towards the woman's head. The instant it closed in, an illusory layer of ripples suddenly appeared around the beautiful head, and it was soon followed by a light chuckle that came from within the gigantic mass of flesh that reverberated in all directions.
At the same time, the instant Su Ming's fist landed on the head, the head turned invisible in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace, disappearing right before Su Ming's eyes.
That head was clearly not the Candle Dragon's real body, but an illusion. Its goal was to attract Su Ming's attention, and from there … it would buy more time for it to devour the snake.
However, the Candle Dragon's remaining will clearly did not expect that Su Ming would be so decisive and swift in his attack without much hesitation, causing the time it bought to be far from enough.
Su Ming's expression remained the same. There was not a hint of shock on his face due to the head's sudden disappearance. In truth, he had long since noticed that there was something strange about the head's appearance.
After all, the head was hidden in the mass of flesh, and there was no need for it to reveal itself the moment Su Ming arrived. Its goal was clearly to attract all of Su Ming's attention!
That was why the instant Su Ming hurled his fist forward, he spread his divine sense outwards, and soon after, the Lightning Berserker Bone on his spine started flashing with powerful lightning arcs. As they swam through Su Ming's entire body, they spread outwards.
An endless amount of lightning erupted from within Su Ming's body. Those bolts of lightning charged into the gigantic ball of flesh around him along with his divine sense and swept through it like a huge wave, searching for the Candle Dragon's remaining will.
His Wind Berserker Bone also let out a powerful force of wind at that moment, causing a whirlwind to stir up around Su Ming out of nowhere. That whirlwind became stronger, and a brilliant glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The instant the dragon snake and the Nine-Headed Dragon's battle reached its peak in the distance, that whirlwind started charging madly in all directions with Su Ming as its center.
It was as if there were several huge hands pushing away the mass of flesh. Thunder rumbled, violent gusts of wind moaned, and the mass of flesh around Su Ming was immediately blown away like smoke by the wind and split apart by lightning.
It was also at that instant that the gigantic mass of flesh rapidly turned black for some unknown reason as it split apart and spread apart, as if it had been dyed by ink.
Su Ming did not have time to bother with this. That was why as his divine sense and the lightning whirlwind spread outwards, he immediately saw the small snake's presence at a certain spot within the mass of flesh!
Without any hesitation, Su Ming immediately charged towards the spot where the small snake's presence came from. In the blink of an eye, he closed in on it, but the instant he did so, a piercing howl rushed into Su Ming's mind.
That piercing howl came from the spot where Su Ming had sensed the small snake's presence. It came from the head of the beautiful woman floating beside the small snake.
That head still had her eyes closed, and she did not open them either. However, when she opened her mouth, that piercing howl was like a charge that caused Su Ming's heart to tremble, and an illusion appeared before his eyes.
In that illusion, his body was incredibly small. Before him was a gigantic Candle Dragon whose body was so big that it could not be described with words. It looked like a gigantic city.
The Candle Dragon had its mouth wide open and was roaring towards him with a murderous aura and bloodlust that surged into the sky. That scene made it seem as if the sky was pressing down on him, wanting to destroy all lives.
As Su Ming's heart trembled, he bit the tip of his tongue. As sharp pain traveled through his body, the Candle Dragon's gigantic body before him started showing signs of shattering.
The woman's beautiful head was hidden within that illusion. Her eyes were closed, but when she opened her mouth, sharp poisonous fangs could be seen. There was also a forked tongue hissing as it charged towards Su Ming.
After all, the Candle Dragon's will was a remnant, and it had lost quite a lot of its will over the years. Right then, most of its will was focused on the dragon snake fighting against the Nine-Headed Dragon. That was why when Su Ming regained his senses, he saw some of the flaws in the illusion, and he saw the head hidden under it.
Su Ming's pupils shrank and he lifted his right hand swiftly. During the process, a large amount of lightning erupted from the Lightning Berserker Bone on his spine, as if Su Ming had just swung his arm. At the same time, the lightning that had just spread out in the area just now also rapidly gathered together, causing Su Ming's right hand to look as if it was covered in lightning.
"Lightning Berserker's first move!" Su Ming let out a low growl. This was the divine ability unique to the Lightning Berserker he had sensed when he forcefully absorbed the Lightning Crystal of Inheritance!
As his words reverberated in the air, the lightning that covered Su Ming's right hand increased exponentially and turned into half a lightning long blade. That blade was formed by lightning and was about several dozens of feet long. The air around its edges started twisting, and as thunder rumbled in the air, it sliced down on the incoming woman's head.
At that instant, Su Ming's expression suddenly changed. The woman's head's expression also changed drastically!
Because at the spot where Su Ming had sensed the strange small snake's presence, a wisp of black mist appeared out of thin air at the spot behind the head, which was the most important spot to it. It turned into a gigantic hand that seized the small snake that was floating there, deep in sleep.
All of this happened too quickly. Su Ming's Lightning Berserker First Move had already crashed into the woman's head.
As booming sounds reverberated in the air, a long string of laughter immediately spread through the air. As it did so, an old man in black robes appeared. That old man was holding the sleeping snake tightly in his hand, and his eyes were sparkling.
"If either of you dare move, I'll crush this snake!" As the old man in black robes spoke, he tightened his right hand, and the snake's body instantly started twisting and trembling.
The instant the old man in black robes squeezed the snake, the balls of flesh that had changed color around the snake froze, and a piercing howl immediately tumbled out of the woman's mouth.
Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes as he glared at the old man. This person's appearance was incredibly sudden. He had suddenly appeared while Su Ming was fighting against the Candle Dragon, and for some unknown reason, Su Ming had a strange feeling that made him want to kill this person.
"I'm just a wisp of divine sense. Even if I die here, it won't affect my real body too much.
"Destiny, you're very fast. I'd advise you not to act recklessly. Candle Dragon, you don't have much of your will left, but I'm confident that I can kill this snake before you attack! "Do you believe me?!"
When he heard the word Destiny, Su Ming's pupils shrank.
After the woman's head let out a piercing howl, she spoke in a ghastly voice, "Tell me your request!"
"Candle Dragon, I don't want to be your enemy. I want you to cast the Undying and Imperishable World on him and seal him inside! After that, I'll immediately return this snake that's incredibly important to you! " The old man in black robes smiled darkly and tightened his grip a little more, causing the unconscious snake's body to twist even more in pain. A large amount of white wisps of smoke also spread out from its body and floated around the area.
A glint appeared in the eyes of the woman's head. If she cast the Undying and Imperishable World with her remaining will, she would fall into deep sleep, and she would need many years before she could wake up a little.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not cast this Art. Besides, she would not be able to absorb the small snake while she was asleep. She could only continue after she woke up.
"Since you insist on doing this, and since you insist on interfering in this matter … then I'll let the Undying and Imperishable World decide your life and death. I'll curse you with all my remaining will …" The beautiful head looked towards Su Ming, and for the first time, she opened her eyes to reveal a pair of gray eyes, along with nine pupils that formed some sort of runic symbol!
Nine Pupils!
"I curse you for your souls to be separated from your bodies …
"I curse you for your souls to enter my World …
"I curse you for your souls to sink into the Undying and Imperishable World and for all eternity, never to be reincarnated …
"I curse you for your souls to be lost for an endless amount of time and for you to become my new War Soul …
"If you sink into oblivion, then I will devour you and be resurrected successfully. If you wake up, then I will willingly be devoured by my own kind and bless it with new life!
"Undying and Imperishable World, One Billion Vengeful Spirits … Awaken!"
The instant that piercing voice rang in the air, the Candle Dragon's entire body shuddered. It caused the fog in the area of several tens of thousands of lis around it to become much thicker. At the same time, its gigantic body started petrifying at a speed visible to the naked eye …
In the blink of an eye, its gigantic body turned into a gigantic stone statue right before the crimson dragon and the old Spirit of Nine Yin's dumbfounded gazes!
Soon after, the shadow of a crescent moon appeared out of nowhere in the sky. That shadow gradually shone with a strange and enchanting light. It hung high in the night sky, and when compared to the nine moons around it, it turned into the tenth crescent moon in the sky!
At that moment, this crescent moon was seen by Shaman City, all the Spirits of Nine Yin, and all the living beings in the World of Nine Yin within the one million lis and beyond the one million lis!
"The Candle Dragon petrifies … The tenth moon … This is the sign that the Sacred Nine Yin's Undying and Imperishable World has been activated! "As long as this moon does not disappear, then this World will exist forever!" the old Spirit of Nine Yin mumbled.
