Su Ming looked at the Shepherd Tower Tribe members before him quietly. He had heard of this tribe before when he was still in the ninth summit. This was one of the tribes that had surrendered to the Great Tribe of Freezing Sky a long time ago. They might not be as famous as Phantom Dais Tribe, but they had their own unique characteristics.
This sort of warhorses fighting against each other would be incredibly useful on the battlefield. In truth, that was indeed the case. During the great war between the Shamans and Berserkers, during the few battles after Su Ming left, Shepherd Tower Tribe members had left behind a large number of corpses and blood on the battlefield.
'Compared to the disciples of Heaven Gate, these tribe members are under Si Ma Xin's control even more … Perhaps he needs the disciples of Heaven Gate in the first layer to go out, that's why he didn't plant the Berserker Seed in all of them.' Su Ming looked at the endless amount of Shepherd Tower Tribe members charging towards him while roaring. He did not want to kill them, but these people were charging towards him regardless of the cost.
Even if Su Ming flew up, they would still follow him madly. In fact, when they closed in on him, if they were injured and did not die, they would immediately choose to self-destruct. This sort of self-destruction would cause the warhorse beneath them to explode. The impact formed might not be much to Su Ming, but if there were too many of them … it would still be shocking.
Once Su Ming stepped into the second layer, he was immediately surrounded by Shepherd Tower Tribe members that blotted out the sky and earth. He might not want to kill them, but he had no choice but to do so. At that moment, he rushed out and charged into the sky. All the Shepherd Tower Tribe members followed behind him madly.
'Open up the sky here and head to the ninth layer!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. As he lifted his right hand, the long spear manifested in his hand, and he threw it towards the sky.
The long spear whistled through the air and charged into the sky. The instant it touched Heaven Gate, it stirred up a deafening boom. In the midst of that boom, layers of ripples stirred up in the sky … but it did not break!
"You can't open it … This isn't a Rune, it's a dimensional barrier. Unless you've mastered the power of World Planes, you won't be able to shake this barrier.
"This is the second layer of Heaven Gate. Su Ming, the rule of the game here is to search for the seal of the barrier that will allow you to enter the third layer. If you find it, then you can enter the third layer.
"It's very easy to find it. Since we're from the same clan, I can give you a reminder. The seal of the barrier is in a certain Shepherd Tower Tribe member's body, and it will only appear after he dies.
So, go and enjoy this kind of … killing to the death! "
Si Ma Xin's voice reverberated in the air, and there was a gentleness to it along with delight in his voice. It was incredibly arrogant as it echoed in the air. There was cruelty contained within his laughter, along with a madness that made it seem as if he could manipulate Su Ming as he pleased.
In silence, Su Ming hurled another punch towards the sky in midair. With this punch, he circulated all the power of his Berserker Bones, causing the golden light around his body to shine brightly. However, when he hurled his punch forward, only violent ripples appeared in the sky … and it still did not shatter!
Before Su Ming could continue trying, whistling sounds came from the distance, and he saw the old man from Shepherd Tower Tribe closing in on him with the two men behind him and the one thousand Blood Cavaliers.
Su Ming frowned. A battle to the death once again broke out in the world.
At that moment, a black glare shone on the ground. The bald crane had clearly cast a glance at Hu Zi from the outside before it ran back with great reluctance. Its eyes sparkled, and it began searching through the corpses.
Yet before long, Su Ming's voice traveled into its ears.
"Open the path to the third layer in the sky. Once you open it, everything here will be yours!" The bald crane had grabbed a small bottle from beside a corpse and was fiddling with it as it observed it. Once it heard Su Ming's words, its eyes lit up.
"Oh well, this is just a small matter. Consider it my help." It lifted its head smugly, and with one move, it moved away from the battle in the sky to arrive beside the sky. With one rush, it was about to execute its unique method to open the sky.
Yet almost the instant it touched the sky, the bald crane suddenly let out a shrill cry. Its body was originally slowly fading away, but in an instant, it was bounced back several thousands of feet.
"Morning Dao's Seal! This is the damned Morning Dao's Seal! This … This is impossible! How could there be a Morning Dao's Seal here?! It might not be complete and was created later, but this presence … This is indeed the Morning Dao's Seal! "Fear appeared in the bald crane's eyes. It retreated repeatedly, and as its eyes sparkled, it looked towards the ground.
"This is the Land of South Morning. I remember now, this place … There was a seal under the ice in the past! The second God of Berserkers' something was sealed there … The second God of Berserkers' left hand! "
The bald crane immediately retreated.
The long spear in Su Ming's right hand trembled and turned into a layer of purple fog that tumbled outwards. Once it shook off the four Shepherd Tower tribe members who were about to self-destruct, he saw the bald crane retreating in shock.
'Even it can't open it..?' Su Ming fell silent. There was a slightly complicated look on his face. Booming sounds reverberated around him. The four Shepherd Tower tribe members who had self-destructed had died, and the impact they stirred up spread out, most of which rushed towards Su Ming.
Su Ming quietly allowed the impact to crash into his body. He took a few steps back, and before him, the old man from Shepherd Tower formed a seal with his hands. A crazed look appeared on his face, and as he swung his arms, a gigantic ferocious beast appeared under his feet. That beast was a thousand feet big. It had the head of a dragon, the tail of a snake, the body of a horse, and the horns of a bull. At first glance, it looked incredibly mighty!
"Those who fight for freedom are worthy of respect …" Su Ming lifted his right hand, and the long spear in his hand disappeared. The purple armor on his body turned into thin threads that crawled into his body and disappeared.
"If you die under the Undertaker's of Darkness, you will only turn into vengeful spirits that will surround this armor and increase its power … All of you are worthy of respect. You cannot die under this armor," Su Ming said calmly. As he looked at the old man closing in on him, a hint of conflict appeared on his face, and he sighed in his heart. He took a step forward, lifted his right hand, formed a seal, and swung his arm forward. Immediately, a vortex appeared in the sky. As violent gusts of wind howled, that vortex swept downwards.
A violent bang rang in the air, and all the Shepherd Tower tribe members in the sky tumbled backwards. They coughed up blood at the same time. Only three people charged forward and rushed towards Su Ming.
Apart from the two burly men, there was also the old man among the three.
At the instant the three people closed in and the one thousand feet ferocious beast closed in with a roar, Su Ming took a step forward. There was a complicated look on his face, and as he moved forward, he appeared beside one of the men. He lifted his right hand and pressed it against the man's forehead.
With that one push, the man's body trembled, and his organs were instantly destroyed. However, his corpse remained in perfect condition. Only his eyes became dull, and he fell to the ground.
"You fought for the freedom of your tribe, and I fought for the ninth summit. There is no enmity between us … This enmity comes from Si Ma Xin!" Su Ming turned around, and when his gaze fell on the other man, he started laughing brokenly. A large amount of fine threads crawled out of his eyes, and at that instant, his body started burning. As his power increased exponentially, he self-destructed with a bang before Su Ming.
He knew that he was not Su Ming's opponent, that was why he chose to self-destruct so that he could fight for a chance for the Elder of their tribe!
Su Ming did not avoid his self-destruction. Han Mountain Bell manifested around him, and as he withstood the attack quietly, he took a few steps back. The impact stirred up by the self-destruction and the violent gust of wind that was formed caused Su Ming's heart to clench in pain.
Beneath him, the injured Shepherd Tower tribe members who had been scattered by the vortex and coughed out blood struggled to rush out once again, and as they roared, they rushed towards Su Ming.
They wanted freedom. They longed for it, and right then, this was their only chance.
The one thousand feet ferocious beast closed in on Su Ming with a roar. The old Elder of Shepherd Tower Tribe was standing on the ferocious beast. There was grief on his face, and in the midst of all the complicated emotions, he gritted his teeth in anguish!
He saw Su Ming's actions, saw Su Ming's desire to not kill, and also saw Su Ming's strength. He gritted his teeth, and the ferocious beast's body came to an abrupt halt in midair.
"Stand down!" He let out a low growl, and as he did so, the charging Shepherd Tower tribe members stopped in their tracks and looked towards their Elder simultaneously.
The old Elder of Shepherd Tower Tribe looked at Su Ming and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you confident that you can kill Si Ma Xin?"
Han Mountain Bell disappeared from Su Ming's body. He turned around and looked at the old Elder of Shepherd Tower Tribe. After a long while, he spoke.
"If he doesn't die, then I will."
The old Elder of Shepherd Tower Tribe looked at Su Ming, and he saw the silent rage in Su Ming's eyes. He closed his eyes, and after some time, he opened them.
"If he doesn't die, then my tribe will die with you. If he dies, then my tribe will worship you as our leader!" A resolute look appeared on his face. Once he said those words, he lifted his right hand, and right before Su Ming's eyes, he pierced through the center of his brows with one finger. His face turned pale and his body trembled. When his life force instantly flowed out of his body, he stretched his entire right hand into the center of his brows and brought out a silver crystal.
"This stone … is the seal of the barrier … Help us … kill him …" The old man laughed brokenly. The ferocious beast beneath him let out a shrill roar towards the sky, and the old man's body fell to the ground, right among his tribe members.
The crystal flew out on its own and charged towards the sky. The instant it touched the sky, a gigantic vortex swiftly manifested, and within that vortex was the world of the third layer!
"Elder!"
"Elder!!!"
Shrill roars reverberated in the air. All the Shepherd Tower tribe members no longer had apathetic expressions on their faces. Instead, they rushed towards the old man's corpse in grief. Cries rang out, and a large number of Shepherd Tower tribe members knelt down beside the old man's corpse. Their cries were filled with grief, and they traveled further into the distance …
The old people who were watching from the mountain range started crying. The children who were hugging their mothers also seemed to have noticed it and started weeping silently.
The entire world was filled with grief and heaviness.
When Su Ming saw this, he bowed deeply towards the old man on the ground. This was an old man worthy of respect.
"Si Ma Xin, if I don't kill you this time, then I can't be considered a human!"
Su Ming did not shout these words, but instead mumbled them under his breath. Every single word was carved into his heart. Once he finished speaking, he lifted his head and looked at the vortex. An even stronger killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he charged towards the sky.
