The instant the World Spirit woke up, the few remaining regions in the World of Nine Yin started trembling and slowly disappearing, as if they had never existed in the first place. When they disappeared, even the altar where Su Ming and the Fated Kin were was the same.
The ground before the hundreds of Fated Kin started disappearing inch by inch, as if there was a gigantic mouth that could not be seen devouring the ground, causing the Fated Kin to rise into the air and look in Su Ming's direction. However, they could no longer see Su Ming. They could only see that the spot where Su Ming had been previously was now a blur, and there was also a strong feeling that it was distorting and tearing their vision apart.
The sky rumbled, and the human face that protruded out from the gigantic vortex opened its eyes at that moment. Light shone in all directions, and the gigantic body of the withered tree charged towards the human face, as if it wanted to fuse with it.
As for Su Ming, once he surpassed all the illusions created by the Rune with that extreme speed, he sensed a layer of membrane on the Rune. It blocked his body, but it could not block his gaze.
His gaze pierced through that invisible membrane, and he saw … an endless black ocean!
That ocean was boundless, and there were five gigantic continents floating on it. The eastern and southern continents of these five continents were incredibly close to each other, and if anyone did not look closely, they would think that they were connected to each other!
However, if anyone took a closer look, they would find that they were not connected to each other. It was clear that the eastern continent was crashing into the southern continent at an incredible speed.
'The world in the mirror …' A bang went off in Su Ming's head. He seemed to have come to understand something, and his gaze swiftly turned towards the west, towards the continent in the west. However, he could not see the details of that continent clearly. He could only see its outline, and then a huge force shot out from the membrane around his body and instantly bounced him off.
Almost at the instant Su Ming was bounced back, the membrane shattered, and the altar at the center of the Rune also shattered along with it. Su Ming took a few steps backwards, and with each step he took, his body would be revealed from that extreme speed. When he took his tenth step, his body appeared clearly before the Fated Kin's eyes once again.
It was also at this moment that the human face in the vortex in the sky finished fusing with the withered tree. The moment they fused, the vortex exploded with a bang, turning into a powerful shockwave that swept out in all directions.
That wave of air was so strong that it looked as if it had turned into a violent gust of wind. As it charged forward, it spread out in a circle, and it was so quick that in the span of a few breaths, it covered the area where the Fated Kin were. If they allowed it to sweep through the area, then there would be a large number of Fated Kin who would be swept away and destroyed like autumn leaves.
The expressions of the hundreds of Fated Kin changed drastically. Nan Gong Hen took a few steps forward without any hesitation and stood before his people. Some of the Fated Kin who had higher levels of cultivation also gritted their teeth and charged forward, intending to fight against the incoming shockwave and protect their people's safety.
Almost the instant these people moved to fight against the shockwave, the shockwave charged towards them with a loud bang. The moment it touched them, Nan Gong Hen coughed out a mouthful of blood, and he felt as if a mountain had crashed into his face.
The other Fated Kin beside him not only coughed up blood, they also felt as if their bodies were about to be torn apart. They fell backwards against their will, but behind them were the Fated Kin. Some of these Fated Kin were even children. They could not fly on their own and had to be carried by their people. If they came into contact with that shockwave, they would definitely die!
Nan Gong Hen's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to fight against the shockwave, but he could not control his body. He continued retreating, and just as the shockwave was about to drown the Fated Kin within it, a white figure suddenly appeared before Nan Gong Hen and all the Fated Kin.
That person was dressed in white, and he was naturally Su Ming!
At that moment, he forced down the shock he felt when he saw the world in the mirror and lifted his right hand to push against the incoming shockwave. As he did so, golden light spread out from his entire body and enveloped the hundreds of Fated Kin behind him to fight against that shocking shockwave.
In just the span of three breaths, Su Ming found himself unable to withstand it. He might have extraordinary power and most of his flesh, blood, and bones had turned into Berserker Bones and his physical body was incredibly strong, but it was still difficult for him to last long under that shockwave.
In truth, the reason why he could last until now was because of the strength of his physical body. If it was anyone else, they would have been injured and forced back the instant they came into contact with the shockwave, just like Nan Gong Hen.
Fortunately, that vast shockwave was sweeping through the area and not targeting Su Ming. That was why after Su Ming persevered for the span of three breaths, the shockwave swept past the area where they were. Even though Su Ming and the Fated Kin he was protecting were swept back several thousands of feet like a lone boat swept by a raging wave, none of them died. Once the shockwave swept past them, everything returned to normal.
Su Ming panted harshly. The golden light on his body did not disappear. Instead, he lifted his head and looked towards the sky in the distance, at the gigantic face that had fused with the body of the dead tree once the vortex collapsed.
The four eyes on the face also looked towards Su Ming at the same time Su Ming looked over.
"The middle section of the fourth eye is where the Rune is … I will never forget your help …" An ancient voice reverberated in the world and fused together with the booming sounds. Soon after, the gigantic face before Su Ming's eyes swelled up with a shudder. In the blink of an eye, it grew ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times bigger. Not only did it replace the sky, the vast expanse of the sky disappeared, replaced by a layer of bronze light.
This feeling made it seem as if the sky had been covered by a veil previously. That veil was the color of the sky, that was why when Su Ming looked at it, the vast expanse of the sky was revealed. Yet now, as the face spread out, the veil looked as if it had been lifted, revealing its true color!
The sky was not the sky!
As the bronze light shone, the entire sky looked like the surface of a gigantic Enchanted Vessel. There was a simple and ancient air to it. In fact, Su Ming could even see that the sky had turned into a gigantic piece of metal as the bronze hue appeared in the sky, and there were countless small holes densely packed together on it!
There were even a lot of complicated runic symbols flashing on it!
Su Ming might have been somewhat prepared for this, but when he saw it, he was still shocked. If he was reacting this way, then it was even more so for Nan Gong Hen and the other Fated Kin.
Their shock could be clearly seen from the quickened breathing of the Fated Kin.
"What is this..?"
"By the looks of it, it looks like some sort of Enchanted Vessel …"
"This … This is the true sky of the World of Nine Yin? Could it be that the sky before was fake, the ground was also an illusion, and only the sky now is real? " Once they recovered from their shock, buzzing sounds came from the hundreds of people. They could not believe what they were seeing.
As the veil was lifted from the sky and a large part of the bronze sky was revealed, another nine gigantic runic symbols in the shape of the moon caught Su Ming's attention!
Those nine runic symbols surpassed all the other runic symbols and shone on the surface of the bronze Enchanted Vessel. When Su Ming looked at them, he was reminded of the nine moons in the World of Nine Yin!
Just as Su Ming's pupils shrank and his heart was shaken by the changes in the World of Nine Yin, the fourth eye at the center of the brows of the continuously expanding human face suddenly overlapped with a certain spot on the bronze sky.
At the instant they overlapped with each other, booming sounds immediately came from that spot. It was as if the sky was moving, and a gap had been opened up. Light spilled out from that gap. It might not be big, but it exuded a feeling of decay. It was right above Su Ming, as if it had been intentionally opened up in that place.
"With my power, I can only delay it for ten breaths. Hurry up and enter!" The old Spirit of Nine Yin's ancient voice instantly reverberated in the air. The moment his voice traveled outwards, the gigantic swollen human face froze for a moment, as if it was forcefully stopped from spreading out, causing the gap formed when the fourth eye overlapped with the bronze sky to not disappear.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes and he charged into the sky. The Fated Kin behind him also charged forward, but they were too slow and could not compare to Su Ming. That was why when Su Ming took a step forward, golden light shone once again on his entire body, sweeping up the hundreds of Fated Kin behind him and charging into the sky with a loud whistle.
The gap that had been opened specifically for Su Ming was continuously flashing. Its appearance was due to the human face overlapping with the bronze sky, and it should have instantly disappeared once they overlapped with each other, but the old Spirit of Nine Yin forcefully stopped it. This sort of stopping was akin to making the Enchanted Vessel that could move through True Worlds freeze while it was in operation. The difficulty of doing this was incredibly high, and with the old Spirit of Nine Yin's abilities, he could at most last for ten breaths.
Su Ming led the Fated Kin forward, and from the distance, they looked like a golden shooting star charging towards the sky. They were getting closer, and by the fourth breath, they had already closed in on the bronze sky's gap.
Yet at that moment, the gap started trembling even more violently. Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and Su Ming could clearly see that the human face that had originally been frozen in place was starting to move slowly. In less than ten breaths!
"Hurry! I can't last any longer … "The old Spirit of Nine Yin's voice rang out anxiously.
When he saw that the gap was about to close up due to the World Spirit's movement, the golden light around Su Ming's body increased exponentially once again. All the Fated Kin behind him also erupted forth with their fastest speed and charged towards the gap with a loud whistle. When the World Spirit returned to its normal state and swept through the gap, the instant it disappeared, Su Ming rushed into the gap!
Most of the Fated Kin also rushed in with him. However, there were still nine Fated Kin who did not manage to step into the gap in time. Once the gap closed up, they were isolated outside …
Among these nine people was the boy who had taken care of Tie Mu for many years and had lost his right arm when he met Su Ming when he was still a child!
With a bang, the gap closed up. Su Ming and the Fated Kin who had stepped into the gap would no longer know what would happen in the world outside. They were currently in a gigantic tunnel.
