In fact, before Su Ming could even take a few steps forward, the Poison Corpse behind him let out a low growl at him, still unwilling to leave. That growl no longer contained any murderous intent, but was conveying another message.
Su Ming turned his head around and cast the Poison Corpse a glance before nodding his head.
Immediately, the Poison Corpse's spirits lifted and he turned around to charge down into the swamp. When his entire body sank into the swamp, Su Ming stood in midair and started waiting at a moderate pace.
After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the green mist that lingered above the swamp began to churn violently. It was as if the swamp was emitting a suction force, and the mist was sucked into the swamp. After a while, a whirlpool appeared in the swamp. The whirlpool spun faster and faster, and in the end, the Poison Corpse rushed out of the whirlpool!
Su Ming's pupils shrank. He could clearly see a curved dagger in the Poison Corpse's hand. That dagger was green and shiny, and Su Ming could not tell what material it was made of.
There was also an ancient presence coming from it. It was clear that this dagger had existed for a long time!
Thinking back to the history of the World of Nine Yin, this dagger was definitely an ancient treasure. It was just that he did not know how the Poison Corpse had obtained it. However, it could be assumed that it was precisely because of the existence of this dagger that caused the Poison Corpse's poisonous fog to change!
As if he was worried that Su Ming would take the dagger away, the instant the Poison Corpse flew out with the dagger, he immediately stabbed it into his chest. Su Ming saw that once the dagger was stabbed into the Poison Corpse's body, it melted and crawled into his body before disappearing.
Pain appeared on the Poison Corpse's face. He struggled for a long time before he managed to pull himself out. The injuries on his body instantly healed, and his eyes shone brightly, becoming even brighter than before.
Su Ming looked at the Poison Corpse and a question rose in his heart. If this dagger had such an effect, then why didn't the Poison Corpse bring it out earlier …
The Poison Corpse might have gained intelligence, but he could only express simple emotions. He could not communicate with Su Ming. Su Ming could not get an answer to this question, but he remembered it and observed it in secret as well as kept his guard up.
However, this was not the time to look into it. Once Su Ming was certain that the Brand he had left on the Poison Corpse's body had become stronger and that there was no problem controlling it, he averted his gaze and looked in the direction of the Spirits of Nine Yin. With one move, he charged forward.
The Poison Corpse turned into a green light and followed closely behind.
"It's a pity that I'm still unable to find Yao Yunhai's puppet body even after I covered it with my Divine Sense. Otherwise, my battle prowess would have reached its peak!" Rain continued to pour down from the sky, and it covered a very large area of the World of Nine Yin.
When dusk arrived, a dense forest appeared before Su Ming as he charged forward in midair. He could vaguely see several mountains standing tall in the depths of the forest. There were also a large number of palaces surrounding them. In fact, Su Ming could even see numerous unmoving statues outside the palaces.
It was as if everything in this place was in deep sleep. It was dead silent, and not a single sound could be heard. However, if Su Ming covered the entire place with his divine sense, he would be able to sense the crimson dragon letting out weak cries of pain!
This was where the Spirits of Nine Yin resided, and also the place where he had sensed the fluctuations of the crimson dragon!
Su Ming swept his gaze across the place, and eventually, his eyes fell on one of the towering mountains. There was a palace at the top of that mountain, and that palace was where the pictures that had flashed through Su Ming's divine sense were.
As he stared at the palace at the top of the mountain, Su Ming did not stop moving. His entire body shone with golden light and he charged towards that place.
Almost the instant Su Ming got closer, the unmoving stone statues outside the halls at the foot of the mountain before him started recovering, as if they had melted. Waves of powerful presence spread out, causing the rain falling from the sky to freeze for a moment and float away from the area, unable to descend. It caused the clouds in the sky to become indistinct, as if they were covered by that presence, and they looked as if they were distorting from the indistinct air.
"All trespassers in the Spirits of Nine Yin's territory will be killed!" A ghastly voice reverberated in the air. There was a powerful killing intent within that voice, as if it contained a law, and it was enough to make all those who heard it feel their hearts tremble.
Su Ming's entire body instantly shone with a piercing golden light, and cracking sounds reverberated within his body. This was the first time he displayed his full power ever since he came out of the Undying and Imperishable World. Even when he killed the Golden Thread Sacred Bat, Su Ming had not used his full strength. Yet at that moment, as the golden light shone on his entire body and the cracking sounds traveled forth, even Su Ming's hair seemed to have turned gold.
Dark Mountain's Berserker Mark appeared on his face, and his Nascent Divinity spread out from behind him to turn into a gigantic shadow. That shadow looked similar to him, but it was several dozens of feet tall. Once it manifested, it formed a seal with one hand, and with an aloof gaze, it followed Su Ming.
This was his Nascent Divinity Transformation Stage. It was a pity that Yao Yun Hai's body was not around, or else Su Ming's power as an Immortal would be able to bring forth an even greater power. However, if he manifested this way, he would still be able to bring forth a rather strong power!
The Poison Corpse was right at the back of the group. A murderous glint appeared in his eyes, and as he breathed, black and green fog surrounded his body. As it surrounded him, he looked like a phantom.
Su Ming charged forward. There were eight palaces between this place and the hall in the mountain. There were numerous stone statues outside each of these eight palaces, and right then, the stone statue of the first palace, which was located at the outermost layer, had awakened!
There was also an invisible seal in this place that prevented people from warping. It was as if the space in this place had been compressed so tightly that there was not a single gap between them. If a person tried to warp forcefully, then there was a high possibility that right when their body disappeared, their flesh and blood would immediately shatter not too far away.
Su Ming's expression was aloof, and his eyes were resolute. As he charged forward, he instantly arrived at the first palace that blocked his path. The moment he closed in, the numerous stone statues outside the first palace woke up. All of them looked at Su Ming coldly, and almost at the instant he arrived, they let out low roars.
Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. The instant the Spirits of Nine Yin closed in on him, a large amount of lightning arcs immediately appeared around him. At the same time, a large amount of lightning also appeared in the rain falling from the sky. Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung his arm, and an endless amount of lightning descended with loud rumbles.
From the distance, it looked as if lightning had rained down on the first palace. An endless amount of thunder rumbled, and in the dusk, the entire place was instantly illuminated!
All of the lightning had been brought forth by Su Ming using the Lightning Crystal of Inheritance. Lightning covered the entire place, causing the incoming Spirits of Nine Yin to freeze for a moment. At the instant they froze, Su Ming had already arrived at the main gate of the first palace. Just as he was about to take a step forward, a roar came from within the palace, and it was soon followed by a figure of a hundred something feet tall charging out from within.
Before it even got close, a powerful, mighty pressure forced down on Su Ming's mind. Su Ming did not stop moving. He clenched his right hand into a fist and hurled it towards the incoming gigantic figure.
That gigantic figure also clenched its fist and charged towards him. Their fists crashed into each other in an instant. One of them was within the palace, and the other was outside it. Right in between them was the door.
One of them was a hundred something feet tall, and the other was incredibly small compared to him!
One of them had a ferocious look on his face, and the other had an aloof expression!
Time seemed to have frozen at that instant. The light from the lightning illuminated everything. At the instant their fists collided, the body of the armored Spirit of Nine Yin in the hall trembled violently. The armor on his body shattered into pieces with a bang, revealing a face that was like a withered tree. He even coughed out a large mouthful of blood as his body was sent tumbling backwards. He staggered a few steps back in succession!
Su Ming did not retreat even a single bit. With one move, he moved past the first palace and charged straight towards the second palace.
"Who are you?!" The man from the first palace's shocked voice traveled forth from behind him. The physical strength of the Spirits of Nine Yin had always been something they were proud of. Even if their levels of cultivation were about the same, with the strength of their physical bodies, they could still suppress their opponents with brute force!
Yet during that instant just now, the shock in the man's heart could not be described with words. He could clearly sense that Su Ming had not cast any divine abilities, but was just like him, using his physical strength. In this sort of situation, he had practically lost completely!
"I am Su Ming, and I've come here to retrieve the spirit you Spirits of Nine Yin are holding!" The instant Su Ming stepped into the second palace, the stone statues outside the second palace melted. All of them had dark expressions on their faces, and without a single word, they charged towards Su Ming.
This time, Su Ming did not attack. The one who attacked was the Poison Corpse. That corpse let out a low roar and rushed out. Black and green poisonous fog spread out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire area. Su Ming knew that if he wanted to save the crimson dragon, then he had to be fast!
He had to use his fastest speed to rush to the place where the crimson dragon was sealed!
He did not stop moving and stepped straight into the second palace's door. At the instant he arrived, a man walked out of the second palace. That man held a long spear in his hand, and the moment he walked out, he thrust that spear towards Su Ming's face, bringing with it a piercing sound as it sliced through the air, and it was deafening to the ears.
It was as if he had been preparing for this spear since a long time ago, and he was charging forward at that moment!
When the spear was about to touch Su Ming, he lifted his right hand, and Han Mountain Bell immediately manifested on his right hand, as if his fist had turned into that bell. The instant it crashed into the long spear, a violent bell chime rang through the sky and earth. The man holding the long spear shuddered, and the long spear in his hand shattered inch by inch. He took a few steps back, and blood trickled out of the corners of his mouth. Su Ming did not hesitate. With one step, he moved past the palace and charged towards the third palace.
Yet the instant he stepped into the third palace, not only did all the statues outside the third palace wake up, even the guardian of the palace walked out of the palace with a long spear in his hand. When he lifted it, all the Spirits of Nine Yin in the palace lifted their long spears and threw them out at the same time. Piercing whistles rang through the air as they charged towards Su Ming.
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. In the face of the numerous long spears charging towards him, he lifted his left hand and pushed forward gently.
"My left hand represents the past … Just like all of you, search for the traces of time … and go backwards …" Su Ming whispered softly. At the instant he said those words, the numerous long spears charging towards him through the air stopped moving forward, but started moving backwards! At the same time, the Spirit of Nine Yin from the third palace took a step back before his foot even landed on the ground, as if his movement had been reversed, he took a step back!
The visual shock formed by that one step backwards was enough to shock all those who saw it!
Su Ming moved like a bolt of lightning and leaped past the third palace, stepping right outside the fourth palace!
Strangely enough, the Spirit of Nine Yin from the fourth palace did not wake up. Only a 300 something feet tall man stood there and looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression!
"Are you going to stop me as well?" Su Ming asked calmly.
The blackout will continue … and I heard that it will continue tomorrow. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
