There was no seawater.
When Su Ming disappeared beyond the screen of light in the depths of the sea and stepped into the mountain range that he had not seen for fifteen years but felt to be an endless amount of time to him, he looked at the vague familiarity in his memories and looked at everything around him, and a slightly sentimental expression appeared on his face.
Due to the screen of light, the seawater from the world outside had yet to pour in. However, by the looks of it, it would not be able to last for long before it shattered, turning this place into a true abyss at the bottom of the sea.
The frozen gate was still there under the mountain range, and waves of freezing air were spreading out from it. Su Ming's gaze fell on it, and a glint appeared in his eyes. The place he had thought of to avoid the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands was the frozen world that the frozen gate led to.
Based on Su Ming's guesses, the terrifying turtle should not still be waiting there. That was why the frozen world was the best place to hide.
'When the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands arrives, it doesn't matter whether it's the Shamans or the Berserkers, they will definitely use all their methods to search for a place to hide … I wonder how Master is now..?' Su Ming fell silent. He did not want to think about his Master, his eldest senior brother, second senior brother, Hu Zi, Zi Che, and the ninth summit that was like his home.
Because every single time he thought about it, complicated feelings would rise in his heart. He had left the ninth summit in the past to join the great war between the Shamans and Berserkers, but he had not expected that they would be separated for nearly twenty years.
'With Master's level of cultivation, even if it's the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands, it shouldn't be a problem … Eldest senior brother might have already come out of isolation. Second senior brother … is he still in the ninth summit? There's also Hu Zi …' Su Ming closed his eyes. Ever since he returned from the World of Nine Yin, he had learned many things that shocked him. Once he saw the Immortals' world outside, he suddenly missed the ninth summit. He missed it so much …
Memories of the past slowly surfaced in his head. The plants and trees in the ninth summit, his eldest senior brother's silent care, and his second senior brother lifting his head so that his side profile was illuminated by the sun. With a smile on his face, he said, "This isn't good …" Those words echoed in Su Ming's ears softly.
Hu Zi's snores, his bad habit of peeping at others, and his Master who wore all sorts of clothes … All of these things in the past had now turned into memories.
"I'll hide from the Catastrophe of the Eastern Wastelands here. Once it's over, I'll return to the ninth summit," Su Ming mumbled. Su Ming mumbled and opened his eyes. The Fire Ape did not come to this place. This was something he had noticed when he stepped into the screen of light and spread his divine sense outwards.
The Fire Ape was not here.
Perhaps the Fire Ape had gone out before the seawater covered it. When it wanted to return, the seawater had covered everything.
Su Ming sighed and charged towards the cave abode in the mountain range. Once he stepped into the stone chamber with the medicinal cauldron, his footsteps came to a halt. He smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, and a glint appeared in his eyes. His gaze immediately landed on the medicinal cauldron. Once he scrutinized it, he fell into a moment of pensive silence before he waved his arm and put away the medicinal cauldron. He then went around the cave abode once and took away all the items he had left behind in the past. Once he did so, he stood beside the stone wall in the depths of the cave abode and fell into deep thought.
This rock wall was connected to the mountain range. Once it was opened, the power of the Severing Three Banes would explode out, like a dragon's head awakening.
Once Su Ming completed the structure of this place, he had never opened it completely. He was worried that once he did so, the power of the world would be so dense that it would attract the attention of the world outside.
However, if he left just like that and allowed this place to be destroyed once it was submerged by the seawater, Su Ming would be slightly unwilling to do so. He did not want to waste the structure he had built in the past.
'Once I open this place, the vast amount of power of the world that will gather here will not only be beneficial to my level of cultivation and allow my Berserker Bones to become stronger … it will also allow the medicinal cores in the medicinal cauldron to be activated to their greatest extent!' Su Ming fell into deep thought. When he put away the medicinal cauldron just now, he had smelled a faint medicinal fragrance spreading outwards, and he had also observed the medicinal cauldron for a moment. The medicinal pill in the medicinal cauldron was already at the final stage of its activation.
A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his right hand and swung it in the air. Immediately, the medicinal cauldron that he had put away manifested once again. This time, Su Ming placed it before the stone wall. This place would be the center of the power of the world in the area once the stone wall was opened!
It was also the place where the power of the world was the thickest. It would allow the medicinal cauldron to be activated to its greatest extent!
Once he put down the medicinal cauldron, Su Ming's body instantly became indistinct and he disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he was already in midair outside his cave abode. He looked at the dull screen of light, and after a moment of pensive silence, he spread his divine sense outwards. At the same time, his Nascent Divinity also manifested behind him. That Nascent Divinity spread outwards and gradually fused with the dull screen of light.
This screen of light was left behind by Hong Luo in the past. Once Hong Luo died, he lost his connection to the screen of light, which was why it was slowly weakening. Even if Su Ming had the power of an Immortal at the Soul Formation Stage, it was still difficult for him to use any other method to strengthen the Rune. The only thing he could do was to fuse his Nascent Divinity with the Rune. With this method, he could delay the Rune's collapse and also strengthen it slightly.
Once he finished doing all this, Su Ming sucked in a deep breath and turned around swiftly to look at the mountain range that looked like a dragon's head. He lifted his right hand and pushed at the air above the mountain. With it, the mountain range instantly rumbled, and the cover Su Ming had left behind for the Execution of the Three Evils in the past was completely removed at that moment.
As the rumbling sounds reverberated in the air, Su Ming appeared beside the medicinal cauldron in his cave abode. Without a hint of hesitation, he touched the wall with his right hand, and cracking sounds immediately reverberated in the air. Fine cracks instantly appeared on the wall. More and more cracks appeared, and in just a moment, they covered the entire mountain wall.
A muffled bang reverberated in the air and spread out. The mountain wall shattered to pieces before Su Ming and completely crumbled. As it crumbled, it was as if a gap had been opened up in the depths of Su Ming's cave abode, as if the intersecting mountain ranges had turned into a sliver of sky.
Almost at the instant the mountain wall crumbled, a roar that sounded like a dragon's roar reverberated in the mountain range. Soon after, the mountain range started trembling viciously. Wisps of the power of the world were sucked in from all directions, causing the place to turn into a gigantic vortex.
In the depths of the vortex was the medicinal cauldron. Su Ming sat cross-legged on the medicinal cauldron and closed his eyes to meditate. As the power of the world surged into him and was continuously absorbed by the medicinal cauldron beneath him, the vortex grew larger. After a moment, it covered the entire cave abode.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, three days went by. During those three days, the vortex in the cave abode did not just cover the cave abode, but also the entire mountain. That vortex looked like a dragon's head that was madly devouring everything.
As the vortex grew larger, the power of the world surged into the depths of the Dead Sea with loud booming sounds. Gradually, it swept up the Dead Sea, and a strange change appeared.
This change caught the attention of a large number of living beings in the Dead Sea. However, there was a screen of light from the Rune in this place. Once Su Ming's Nascent Divinity fused with it, the Rune covered up the mountain range and the cave abode, causing the area to look empty from the outside.
Besides, the Dead Sea was spreading outwards and it was a unique period of time for Eastern Wastelands. As the pushing force from the Dead Sea grew stronger, even if a large amount of the power of the world was gathering together, most of the living beings in the Dead Sea did not pay any attention to it once they noticed it. However, there were still some who came following the traces left behind.
Time passed by once again, and soon, seven days went by!
During these seven days, Su Ming's Nascent Divinity, who had fused with the screen of light, could clearly sense that the pushing force from the Dead Sea had become much stronger compared to a few days ago. In fact, the Rune was also flashing violently under that pushing force.
At the same time, Su Ming's Nascent Divinity saw eight gigantic Dead Sea Giants outside the Rune. There was even an Aquatic Dragon that was several thousands of feet long. It was also moving about nearby, and there were quite a number of other living beings in the Dead Sea.
All of them had been lured over by the thick power of the world gathering together in this place, but the strength of Hong Luo's Rune made it impossible for them to see through it within a short period of time, and they could only linger around the area.
However, as the pushing force from the Dead Sea grew stronger, the living beings in the area gradually found it difficult to stay in one place for a long period of time, and a large number of them left.
However, as the pushing force from the Dead Sea grew stronger, the Rune that had fused Su Ming's Nascent Divinity into was also affected. As it flashed violently, it gradually became unable to hide itself.
Eventually, another three days passed, and the Rune slowly revealed itself from the air. At the instant it shone, it was immediately locked down by several powerful presences around it. Roars reverberated in the Dead Sea, and the three Dead Sea Giants who remained in the Dead Sea strode towards it.
The other living beings from the Dead Sea also charged forward and closed in on the Rune that had appeared in the Dead Sea!
At that moment, Su Ming still had the medicinal cauldron. It had yet to completely absorb the power of the world. Su Ming's situation was slightly better, but the medicinal cauldron was at a critical moment. It was only halfway through the process of activating the Rune.
When Su Ming saw the living beings from the Dead Sea continuously closing in on him, he opened his eyes as he sat on the medicinal cauldron. Killing intent shone in his eyes, and with a single move, he charged out from the gigantic vortex around him. When he reappeared, he was already in the Dead Sea beyond the screen of light from the Rune.
At the instant he appeared, a Dead Sea Giant swiftly closed in on him. It lifted its gigantic fist and was just about to ram it against the screen of light, as if it wanted to tear apart the Rune. Su Ming smiled coldly and lifted his right hand swiftly before pointing at the incoming Dead Sea Giant. Immediately, a layer of lightning sparks rose with a loud rumble and instantly enveloped the Dead Sea Giant.
Soon after, a freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes as he stood in the Dead Sea. He clenched his right hand into a fist, intending to hurl it against the incoming Dead Sea Giant, but before his fist could land, the pushing force in the Dead Sea suddenly increased at an indescribable speed. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, it even looked as if it wanted to tear apart the sea. Under that pushing force, all the Dead Sea Giants in the area were swept away by that pushing force.
In fact, the ground started trembling violently at that instant. Cracks appeared on the ground with cracking sounds, and some parts of the ground even exploded!
Su Ming was also unable to control himself. That huge force was not something a human could fight against. His expression changed drastically, and a shocking thought rose in his head.
