At the instant he opened his eyes, the Five Direction Seal on the God of Berserkers' left hand shone with a gentle yellow light in this relatively still world. That light was like gold, causing the depths of the still sea to be illuminated in a golden light.
Su Ming's body was also illuminated by that golden light. His face was already indistinct, but he was shining with a gentle golden light. There was no sign of danger to him, but in this still world, that golden light was a little strange.
Because everything within the area enveloped by that light … disappeared without a single sound, be it the seawater or the layer of ice.
It was as if that golden light could devour everything. As the area around it disappeared, it looked as if the golden light was slowly shrinking once it scattered. As it shrank and the light returned, its edge and the bottom of the sea seemed to have been separated into two different dimensions.
A sealing power surrounded the golden light. A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and with a swift move, he disappeared from the spot. Yet almost the moment he disappeared, Su Ming reappeared on the spot with a dark expression on his face and a frown on his face.
He had warped just now, but he had been forced out of the space around him. The sealing power in this place had isolated everything from the world!
As Su Ming watched the golden light around him continue shrinking until its edge turned black, he took a step forward and turned into a long arc. He lifted his right hand and seized the air. Immediately, the bone blade appeared in his hand and turned into the tip of the long arc that charged towards the shrinking golden light barrier.
A loud bang reverberated in the air, and Su Ming tumbled backwards. Once he took seven to eight steps back, his expression turned even darker. He could not pierce through the sealing power contained within the golden light barrier.
As the golden light continued shrinking, Su Ming lifted his head and looked upwards with a grave expression on his face. He saw another faint layer of gold beyond the golden light above him, and it was not just one layer either. There were five of them!
The five layers of light were all golden, from the deepest to the faintest.
This was the Five Direction Seal. Each layer of gold represented the sealing power of one area. As of then, all five had appeared at the same time, causing the sealing power to be extraordinary.
The golden light around them continued shrinking with the God of Berserkers' left hand as the center, causing Su Ming to have to take a few steps forward. He could not stand at the edge, as if he was in a cage that was continuously shrinking. He could only move forward as the cage shrank.
Su Ming frowned. Si Ma Xin might have died, but the power of the seal he had cast before he died was incredibly strange, causing Su Ming to be unable to leave no matter how many times he tried. Besides, judging by the area covered by the golden light, even if he had immediately left, he would still have been enveloped by it and eventually sealed in this place.
'Judging by Si Ma Xin's madness just now, this seal must be the seal that sealed the second God of Berserkers' left hand. Now that I've used the Welcoming of Deities to absorb the second God of Berserkers' soul fragments, it can be said that I've obtained a part of his legacy. Because of that, the seal believes that I've fulfilled the requirements to be sealed … 'Su Ming's eyes sparkled. At that moment, the second God of Berserkers' left hand that had stood erect in this place for countless years was several dozens of feet away from him. The slowly shrinking golden light was a hundred feet away from him.
As for the area beyond the light and beyond the fifth layer, it was a dark void that looked like a ravine that was clearly separated from the seawater around it.
'Si Ma Xin thinks that I've obtained the same legacy as him … but in truth, I've used the Welcoming of Deities to absorb soul fragments. It's easy for me to leave this place. As long as the seal thinks that I don't have the second God of Berserkers' presence on me, I can leave. ' A pensive look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He looked at the golden light, and as his eyes sparkled, he opened his mouth abruptly. Immediately, a dark ray of light appeared and turned into the Welcoming of Deities before him!
The instant the Welcoming of Deities left Su Ming's body, his presence became much weaker. All the divine abilities and Arts related to the second God of Berserkers also faded away. His control over his body also reached its peak, and he was no longer as rusty as before.
More importantly, the moment the Welcoming of Deities left his body, he no longer felt the power of the seal within the shrinking golden light around him.
'I knew it.' Su Ming's brows did not relax. He was still frowning, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.
He looked at the second God of Berserkers' left hand by his side, then at the Five Direction Seal's golden light, and he became uncertain.
'If I leave now, there shouldn't be too much danger. I can return to the surface of the sea and return to the ninth summit … but the second God of Berserkers' left hand will be sealed once again. If I come back to search for it, I might not be able to find it. 'Su Ming's gaze fell on the dark ravine that separated the screen of light from the seawater.
Clearly, this place had been split into two regions. It would be much easier to leave this place compared to entering from the outside world.
'But it'll be a pity if I leave …' Su Ming frowned. He was not too interested in the second God of Berserkers' legacy, but he was rather sentimental towards Si Ma Xin's Great Art of Heartless Berserker Seed. More importantly, Su Ming had seen the second God of Berserkers' divine abilities and Arts on Si Ma Xin's body, and he had also sensed them just now. These divine abilities were exactly what he lacked at the moment!
'Besides, the second God of Berserkers' left hand can allow Si Ma Xin to continuously recover from his injuries, so there must be a large amount of life force contained within it. If I can absorb the second's left hand, then I might be able to reach a breakthrough once again with eight-tenths of my Berserker Bones! 'When Su Ming thought of this, his heart raced against his chest.
On one hand, he could leave safely, but there would not be a lot of serendipity. On the other hand, he could stay and attempt to absorb the God of Berserkers' left hand, but no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he would have to risk being sealed in this place forever.
How should he choose …?
There was only a short amount of time before him, and he did not have much time to think about it. His eyes sparkled, and he gritted his teeth!
'Riches come from danger! There's no serendipity in this world that comes without a reason. I have to fight for everything myself and exchange for it … I might have obtained a serendipity in the Candle Dragon's Undying and Imperishable World and his blessings, but the prerequisite for all of this was that I had to take a huge risk to obtain it! ' Su Ming looked at the golden light around him closing in on the God of Berserkers' left hand. The screen of light above him was also sinking, causing the space between Su Ming and the God of Berserkers' left hand to become smaller.
The light shining from the Five Direction Seal was no longer gentle. Instead, there was a fierce, awe-inspiring pressure within it, as if it wanted to suppress all things related to the second God of Berserkers and complete the mission given to it in the past!
'I'll take the risk!' A resolute look appeared on Su Ming's face. If he left just like this, he would definitely not be satisfied. He might as well take the risk!
The instant he made his decision, Su Ming lifted his right hand and grabbed the Welcoming of Deities. Once he swallowed it once again, his presence instantly changed. His pupils turned even darker, and an indistinct shadow seemed to have appeared within them. With one move, he took a step forward and stepped on the second God of Berserkers' left hand!
This was the first time Su Ming stepped on the second God of Berserkers' left hand. Just like Si Ma Xin, the instant Su Ming stepped on the palm, he sat down cross-legged.
'It's very warm.' This was the first thing Su Ming felt when he touched the God of Berserkers' left hand. It was an indescribable warmth, as if … he had seen it before.
The instant he sat down on the second God of Berserkers' left hand, the light from the Five Direction Seal above him increased exponentially. The gentle light turned into a piercing light, and the awe-inspiring pressure contained within it also increased endlessly at that moment.
"I don't want your inheritance. I only want your life force and the divine abilities that belong to the God of Berserkers!" Su Ming said languidly. At the same time he closed his eyes, he lifted his hands and pressed them against his sides, pressing them against the God of Berserkers' left palm.
The instant his hands touched the second God of Berserkers' left palm, Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath, and a vast wave of life force surged into his body through his hands with loud booming sounds.
This was … the power contained within the second God of Berserkers' left hand. That power was the reason why his hand could not be destroyed, and besides Si Ma Xin, no one else could absorb this power!
Due to his level of cultivation, Si Ma Xin could not absorb too much of that power. He had originally intended to absorb this power every single time his level of cultivation increased, and when his level of cultivation reached perfection, he would absorb all the power within the God of Berserkers' left hand. Once it became his own, he would be able to obtain a portion of the second God of Berserkers' power.
Yet now, with Si Ma Xin's death, no one could absorb the power within the God of Berserkers' left hand. However, due to the Welcoming of Deities, Su Ming had indirectly obtained the second God of Berserkers' inheritance, causing him to become a person who could absorb that power!
Besides, the amount of life force required by all the Berserker Bones in Su Ming's body was simply too great, and it was not something Si Ma Xin could compare to. That was why Su Ming's absorption this time was as if he had turned into a bottomless pit. As he closed his eyes and the life force surged into his body, the second God of Berserkers' left hand shuddered, and his fingers, which had not moved since ancient times, started moving slowly.
Eventually, those five fingers slowly closed up and turned into a shield that protected Su Ming's body within his palm!
This sort of protection was a form of faint acknowledgement. This was originally a serendipity that belonged to Si Ma Xin, but now … it had become Su Ming's!
If Si Ma Xin had not died and saw this, he would definitely have coughed up blood, because all of this belonged to him …
Su Ming lifted his head. His long hair danced in the air as he looked at the golden light closing in on him. It continued until the light completely covered the God of Berserkers' left hand and the Five Direction Seal floated above his head, causing the area around him to be completely sealed within.
The area was filled with dead silence. Only Su Ming could be seen sitting cross-legged and unmoving through the crack that was revealed when the second God of Berserkers' left hand was closed up slightly.
Time trickled by. There were many people gathered on the ninth summit on the surface of the sea beyond the sealed region. These people were all survivors from Heaven Gate, and at that moment, all of them had complicated expressions on their faces as they occasionally looked towards the sea.
Bai Su was also looking at the sea quietly from a corner. There was a slightly anxious look on her face.
The bald crane was standing on Hu Zi's back in the cave abode where he was snoring loudly. Its sharp beak would occasionally peck at Hu Zi's back, and a thin line would be drawn out by its teeth. It would chomp down on Hu Zi and swallow it with a look of great satisfaction on its face.
"Weren't you playing hide-and-seek with your Grandpa Crane just now? Hurry up and hide! If you hide properly, I'll find you and eat you!"
