The entire World of Nine Yin was in a state of shock at that moment. Many pairs of eyes were trained on the tenth moon in the sky, and they saw the crack that was slowly widening within.
From the distance, this so called tenth moon looked like an eye that was slowly opening. This strange sight gave all those who saw it the false impression that once that eye opened, it would be able to make the sky and earth shatter!
The area within the one million lis around Shaman City in the World of Nine Yin was greatly different compared to when Su Ming had stepped into the Candle Dragon's burial ground. The strange forest had spread out by several times, and some of it still existed in this place. The area where Su Ming had sensed danger in the past had also spread out in a large area.
As for Shaman City, it … no longer existed …
That incredibly large city in the past was the territory of the Shaman Tribe in the World of Nine Yin. At that moment, it had turned into ruins. All the buildings had been destroyed, and wreckage could be seen everywhere.
As for the gigantic head that had been supported by a gigantic stone pillar that reached into the clouds in the past, it was no longer there. It was difficult to imagine just what sort of drastic change had happened in this place that could make the Shamans unable to protect the city …
There was a gigantic hole in the sky above the ruins of Shaman City. From the distance, that hole looked like a vortex. It was still and unmoving, and there were dried up branches above it. These branches had appeared out of nowhere, as if the sky was the place where they had hidden their roots. As they spread out, they surrounded the entire vortex, locking it down tightly, as if they were sealing it.
However, it was not as if there were no lives in this place. Some people could still be seen moving about in the ruins. Once they entered, they would quickly fly out.
If anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that there were a few Shamans among those people.
Besides the Candle Dragon's burial ground, there were two other so-called holy grounds to the Shaman Tribe within the one million lis around Shaman City. One of them was the mass grave of Spirit Mediums. Over there, they could sense the presence of death, and if they had unique potential, they could become Spirit Mediums.
The other was the source of Thought Soothsayer. It was an altar built from an endless amount of beast bones. There was a power that was not weaker than the Candle Dragon's on that altar. That power would make all living beings who entered hallucinate until they died, but if they did not die, then once they walked out, they would possess a similar power, and that was Thought Soothsayer.
At that moment, there were a few Shamans living in a small valley beyond the beast bone altar in these two regions. There were less than a thousand of them. All of their faces were sallow and thin, and their clothes were ragged. They looked incredibly pathetic, and there was wariness in their eyes. However, once of of that wariness appeared of of of of of of the tenth moon in the sky, it turned into panic.
These black spots were the source of his decay, and they were also the reason why he was in endless pain and torment.
Almost at the instant the others looked at the tenth moon in the sky in shock, the black-robed man also lifted his head and looked towards the sky. However, the instant he saw the change in the tenth moon, his expression changed drastically.
No one else knew about the tenth moon, but he did! He knew that this moon was the Candle Dragon's Undying and Imperishable World. If such a change happened to the tenth moon, then it meant that someone was about to rush out of the Undying and Imperishable World!
"Impossible … It can't be him!" The black-robed man mumbled. He was the person who had used the Destiny Talisman to separate a wisp of his divine sense from himself, causing Su Ming to be swallowed into the Undying and Imperishable World. He was Di Tian's servant, and Su Ming's watcher in the land of Berserkers!
Due to some accident, he might not have died due to the heavy Curse on him, but he had lost the chance to leave this place. He had to stay in this place with the others who could not leave, and they had to live through the days nervously like turtles.
Unlike the other people's despair, he did not despair. He believed that once his Master descended, he would find him and save him.
Yet at that moment, when he saw the drastic change in the tenth moon, his heart was filled with disbelief. He had known about the legends of the Undying and Imperishable World a long time ago. This was a place that practically no one could walk out of, and it was difficult for him to believe what he was seeing.
There were two people among this group of people that Su Ming would find incredibly familiar if he saw them. One of them was a middle-aged man with messy hair, torn robes, and stubble all over his face. He looked incredibly miserable. He sat quietly on a mountain rock and looked at the sky with a slightly hesitant look on his face.
'He disappeared from the Candle Dragon's land in the past. I heard people say that this tenth moon is the activation of the Candle Dragon's Undying and Imperishable World. Could this change … be related to him..?' The middle-aged man fell silent, and a nostalgic look appeared on his face. He was Nan Gong Hen!
The other person was an old man. His face was ashen, and his eyes were lifeless as he lay on the ground. He was as thin as a bag of bones, and he looked at the tenth moon in the sky blankly. If Su Ming saw him, he would be able to tell somewhat that this person was the Latter Shaman, Tie Mu.
The person taking care of him was a one-armed young man. That young man would occasionally lift his head to look at the tenth moon without saying a single word.
There were also people who saw the tenth moon in the sky in the vast land of the World of Nine Yin outside the valley where the Shamans lived. There were some men who were hundreds of feet tall and had bodies that looked like trees. They had heads and four limbs, and they were all men with heads and limbs.
These men looked incredibly similar to the Spirits of Nine Yin. They were dressed in armor and existed in various places in the World of Nine Yin. All of them saw the abnormality of the tenth moon in the sky.
Besides these Spirits of Nine Yin, there were also some people whose bodies were slightly transparent and whose faces could not be seen clearly in the territory that originally belonged to the Shamans. There were men and women among these people, and they were all on the ground.
There was also another race in the sky. They were living beings who had wings on their backs but had the form of humans. However, those wings looked like bat wings, and these people usually had a single horn on their heads.
They occupied the territory that originally belonged to the Shamans, and with the valley where only the Shamans remained as the center, they were spread out in three directions.
The change in the tenth moon in the sky had also attracted a great deal of attention from these three races. Compared to the Shamans, they had a better understanding of what this tenth moon meant.
"The Candle Dragon's Undying and Imperishable World was activated in the past. Now, there are signs that it's about to open. Could it be that the person who stepped in all those years ago is about to walk out?" There was a gigantic oval-shaped ball that was several hundreds of thousands of feet tall in the territory of the people who had bat wings on their backs. That ball floated in midair, and around it were an innumerable amount of smaller black oval-shaped balls. At that moment, there were ghastly voices echoing in the area, and no one knew which ball it was coming from.
In another direction in another region was a place where there were many transparent figures with illusory bodies. There were altars on the ground there, and those altars were incredibly strange. Their forms were in a state of being both real and illusory, causing people to be unable to tell whether they really existed or not.
"There's definitely something special about someone who can walk out of the dead Candle Dragon's Undying and Imperishable World … Let's try and absorb him into our tribe first …"
The final direction was also the region furthest away from the Candle Dragon's burial ground. It was a place where an endless forest existed, and there were the Spirits of Nine Yin, who were gigantic and dressed in armor, whose bodies looked like withered trees.
There were gigantic palaces in that endless forest. If anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that they were practically the same as the palaces in Shaman City in the past, or perhaps more accurately speaking … they were the same!
There were gigantic stone statues outside these palaces, and they did not move. One of them was clearly the Spirit of Nine Yin Su Ming had rented in the past!
His petrified body did not move, but he lifted his head to look at the tenth moon in the sky, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
Further in the distance was an old man sitting cross-legged in one of the halls. That old man did not lift his head to look at the sky, but instead let out a soft sigh.
"I didn't expect that he would truly be able to walk out of that place …"
At the moment when the world outside could practically be said to be the center of attention, within the Candle Dragon's Undying and Imperishable World, Su Ming, whose body had become much smaller and whose hair was half purple and the other half white, stood above the statue of the dragon snake in the sky. His expression was still as aloof as ever as he faced the gigantic Candle Dragon formed by the endless white fog in this world.
He lifted his left hand from pressing against the ground, and the instant the Candle Dragon closed in on him with a furious roar, he drew half a circle with his left index finger before him.
"This is the past …"
His right hand also followed the direction, and outside of the half circle, he drew the remaining half of the circle in an arc.
"This is the future …"
Once he drew a complete circle, Su Ming pressed his left hand against the back of his right hand and pushed at the circle before him.
"This is the present … and also … Destiny!"
With that one push, a piercing light erupted forth from the circle and grew infinitely larger before charging towards the Candle Dragon. In an instant, it crashed into the gigantic Candle Dragon, and a loud bang that shook the sky and earth rang out. As it did so, a powerful wave of impact swept towards Su Ming, but the instant it closed in, Su Ming opened his mouth and sucked in a sharp breath.
With that one breath, the white fog contained within that wave of impact was sucked into Su Ming's mouth at an astonishing speed. At the same time, he pushed his hands upwards and downwards once again, and with all his might, he pushed against the sky and earth!
With that one push, a large part of the sky crumbled, the ground trembled viciously, and the crack between the sky and earth was torn apart, as if it was seized by two invisible hands!
The instant it was torn apart, booming sounds reverberated in the air, and a gigantic crack appeared between the sky and earth! Su Ming charged upwards, and in the blink of an eye … he disappeared into the crack.
"Undying and imperishable. If you devour, you will not die, and if you don't devour, you will not be destroyed. But it doesn't matter if you devour or do not devour, if you are in two extremes, then you cannot be considered as a fusion … The true fusion is when you don't devour while you devour, and when you don't devour while you don't devour …" the instant Su Ming stepped into the crack, he mumbled softly, and understanding appeared in his eyes.
"This is life." (To be continued.) [If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.]
