Destruction before creation. This was an ancient and unchanging rule!
This rule had existed many times, and it was slowly summarized by the people, which was why these four words were formed.
Under the Candle Dragon's blessing, Su Ming went through a strange change that could be said to be one that no one in the world had ever gone through before. This change was the immortality of a Berserker who had reached the peak of the Bone Sacrifice Realm and failed to break into the Berserker Soul Realm!
This sort of thing might have happened a few times in the history of the Berserkers, but every single time it happened, the Berserkers would lose too much of their life force and turn into mortals.
However, due to the Candle Dragon's blessings, even though Su Ming's Berserker Bones had shattered, his power remained. It was as if his Berserker Bones were no longer limited to his spine, but had spread to all parts of his body as his spine disappeared. Because of that, his power was still as great as ever.
This sort of thing had never happened before. Even the first God of Berserkers, the one who created the Berserker Tribe's cultivation system, did not expect this sort of thing to happen!
The twenty-six Berserker Bones on Su Ming's spine that had exploded just now had shattered. Some of the power of the Berserker Tribe formed by these shattered Berserker Bones fused into the other bones in Su Ming's body, such as his ribs, his skull, his arms, his hands, his pelvis, and all the other bones in his body.
There was also a portion that fused into Su Ming's flesh and blood and spread through his entire body.
As the Candle Dragon's power surged into his body, Su Ming could clearly feel that besides the first Berserker Bone on his newly formed spine shining with a golden light once again, the other bones in his body were also absorbing the Candle Dragon's power. In fact, it was the same for his flesh and blood!
In the Bone Sacrifice Realm, other people and even the previous Su Ming had only trained his spine, but at that moment … Su Ming discovered to his shock that if he continued, then he would not just be training his spine … he would be training all the bones in his body, including his flesh and blood!
Those in the Bone Sacrifice Realm refined the twenty-six Berserker Bones. It was as if they were reverting to their ancestors. These Berserker Bones would appear, and they could use them to obtain great power. However, if Su Ming refined all the bones in his body into Berserker Bones, then his strength would be …
Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath. The terror of all the bones in his body turning into Berserker Bones, and if his flesh and blood fused with the power of these Berserker Bones to make them even sturdier, then just what sort of existence would his body become?
Su Ming did not have an answer to this. Even the first God of Berserkers did not have an answer when he created the system for the Bone Sacrifice Realm!
'But similarly, if I truly walk down this terrifying path, then the difficulty of reaching Berserker Soul Realm will reach an unimaginable degree. It'll be practically impossible …' Su Ming came to an understanding in his heart. If gathering together the deity statue of Berserker Soul Realm with twenty-six Berserker Bones was already so difficult, then the difficulty of reaching Berserker Soul Realm once his entire body returned to its roots could be imagined!
However, the way things had progressed did not allow Su Ming to hesitate. He could either continue trying to reach the Berserker Soul Realm, and if he failed, his body would crumble and he could use his Nascent Divinity to Possess someone else's body to re-cultivate.
Otherwise, he would just walk down this path that no one had taken before. As for the matter of reaching the Berserker Soul Realm, he would think about it later.
Besides these two paths, there was another one left, and that was to succeed in the Berserker Soul Realm! However, Su Ming knew that this was a possibility. Since his cultivation base had not stabilized yet, there were a lot of uncertainties in this forceful infusion of power into his body. It was practically impossible for him to succeed in one go, unless he was given some time to slowly fuse with the power and truly reach great completion in the Bone Sacrifice Realm.
Su Ming's eyes gradually calmed down. He sucked in a deep breath and let go of his entire mind to withstand the power coming towards him, letting it be absorbed by all his bones and his flesh and blood.
Very soon, all the bones in Su Ming's body started shining with a faint golden light. The first ten bones on his spine were already shining with a golden light, and a powerful feeling that Su Ming had never felt before rose in his heart. This was a feeling that had completely surpassed the Bone Sacrifice Realm, but it could still be considered as the might of those in the Bone Sacrifice Realm!
As he absorbed the power and all the parts of his body started shining with golden light, the life force and aura that was forcefully surging into his body suddenly froze. Once it froze, a power that caused Su Ming's heart to tremble surged into the sky.
It was precisely the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
That power could be seen with the naked eye. As the Candle Dragon's body disappeared, it gathered together to form a diamond-shaped crystal. That item shone with a brilliant light and charged towards Su Ming's body. With an indescribable speed and presence, it imprinted itself on the center of Su Ming's brows like a stream of flowing light.
The instant it touched the center of Su Ming's brows, his body trembled with a loud bang. Stabbing pain shot through the center of his brows, and the crystal pierced through his forehead, branding itself deeply into his body.
Su Ming's head fell back swiftly, as if he had been struck by a huge force. His heart roared, and during that instant, he forgot about the danger his body was in, forgot about everything else. The only thing in his head were furious roars that surged into the sky. Those furious roars seemed to have come from an innumerable amount of living beings at the same time. In his muddled state, Su Ming could vaguely see a world crumbling in a large area as the gigantic Candle Dragon floated in midair with its mouth wide open.
The crumbling world did not disappear. Instead, as it crumbled, it continued gathering together, along with all the living beings within it. No matter how they struggled, it was to no avail. Only crazed roars filled with despair were left echoing in the air, and gradually, that world turned into a diamond-shaped crystal that was devoured by the Candle Dragon in one gulp.
'This … Could this be the power of a World?!'
'This is the only power of a World Plane left after I constructed the Undying and Imperishable Body … All the living beings in the world, regardless of which system of cultivation you choose, even if you have a different name, will still be the power of a World Plane in the end …' The Candle Dragon's voice was filled with an ancient air that was unique to it, and it echoed in all directions.
Contained within that voice was the accumulation of his life's experiences and epiphanies.
"You still can't control and understand this power of a World Plane, and it won't increase your level of cultivation by leaps and bounds either, but its existence is my true blessing … Possess it, understand it, control it. If you can do it, then on the day you do it, you will discover the wonders of the universe. You will discover that you can control everything!" The Candle Dragon's voice spread out and echoed in Su Ming's mind, causing him to be able to hear it clearly even in his muddled state. It was as if his voice had been branded deeply into his mind.
"Do you know why living beings practice cultivation? Why are they strong? "the Candle Dragon asked softly in an ancient voice.
Su Ming could not answer this question. In truth, the Candle Dragon did not wish for Su Ming to return either.
"That's because we have flaws in our bodies. These flaws are different for each race. The source of cultivation is to make up for the flaws in our bodies … But it's not easy to make up for the flaws in our bodies. Usually, only one or two lives in a race will be able to do this over the course of countless years.
"Each race uses different methods to discover and make up for their flaws, but at the end of the day, they all need to use the power of a World Plane … Just like how in my long life, I came into contact with the Immortals before." The Immortals' cultivation system is divided into three steps. The first step does not involve the power of a World Plane, but from the second step onwards, this so-called Nirvana, is to make up for the flaws in our bodies and be reborn. At that time, what we practice is the power of a World Plane.
"As for the third step, emptiness is the key to reaching perfection as the flaws in our bodies become fewer and fewer. If we can reach the final completion and take the fourth step, then we will no longer have any flaws … At that time, what we need to pursue is the power of a Plane Kalpa!" The Candle Dragon's voice gradually became weaker. These epiphanies were the most precious things in his life.
"It's the same for all races, such as the descendants of the Immortals who are similar to the Immortals. The Fusion Realm, the Great Realization Realm, the Ascension Realm, and even the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm are all for the sake of making up for the flaws in our bodies.
"The Berserkers' goal after the Berserker Soul Realm might be different in name, but in truth, it's to use the power of a World Plane to make up for the flaws in our bodies. As the flaws in our bodies become fewer and fewer, we will become stronger, and in the end, we will reach perfection."
Once Su Ming heard up to this point, his mind gradually cleared up. His heart trembled as if a storm was raging in it. He had never heard of these theories before, and they were words that made him feel as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly appeared in his head!
"The descendants of the Candle Dragon were born through a serendipity, but we also have flaws. We don't have a system of cultivation for this flaw, and the only way to make up for it is to devour …
"Because I don't know where the flaw in my line lies. It might be the Undying and Imperishable World, or it might be the Nine-Headed Dragon. That's why I can only continuously devour World Planes in hopes that I can make up for it."
Su Ming stared at the beautiful woman's head in a daze, and he remembered fusing with the Undying and Imperishable World.
"I've gone to many places when I was alive. The galaxy is endless, and I've even gone to two of the four Great True Worlds … I've only met five people who have reached perfection and have mastered the power of Plane Kalpa.
"They are the most powerful warriors in the galaxy and the four Great True Worlds …
"In truth, the four Great True Worlds have a unified title for the powerful existences who have reached this step in their path of cultivation. They are known as Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death. They control the reincarnations in the universe, and with a single thought, they create fate, and with a single thought, they destroy fate …
"All races have different titles for those in this Realm, but all they seek … is perfection.
"In truth, there are several other great Realms above this Realm. This is a legend." The woman's soft voice grew weaker as she spoke, and her words echoed in Su Ming's mind.
"Now that you have obtained the power of my World Plane and have the descendants of the Candle Dragon acknowledge you as their Master, my will is about to dissipate … Endure the final wisp of my life force. If you survive this, you can be reborn, but if you fail, you will die with me …" At the instant the woman's head said these words, it completely rotted away and turned into ashes. The small snake crawled out from the vortex at the center of her brows and let out a roar.
At the same time, an endless amount of fog spread out from the Candle Dragon's gigantic head around Su Ming, and it charged towards him with a bang.
As the Candle Dragon's head disappeared, the galaxy above him was revealed, along with the tenth moon that was rapidly disappearing besides the nine moons in the sky!
