'Do I have the right to become its master..? 'This was the thought that rose in Su Ming's heart.
Eastern Wastelands Bell was the Berserkers' Sacred Vessel. It was the treasure of the first God of Berserkers, and it was left behind to bring good fortune to his descendants and serve as a deterrent against the foreign races … Even Evil Sect's Ji An, who had made Di Tian send two of his clones here, could only change the trajectory of this bell's descent slightly. He did not dare to destroy this treasure!
'Just showing one mountain and one river is already equivalent to the limit of a Berserker in the later stage of the Berserker Soul Realm. If it brings out all nine mountains, nine rivers, and nine deserts, then just what sort of state will the ripples of power that will erupt forth reach..? 'Su Ming opened his eyes. Bao Qiu was trembling behind him, and a conflicted look appeared on her face. She continued forming seals with her hands, but she gritted her teeth and did not beg Su Ming to attack.
As the blood-red screen of light completely revealed the tower, Bao Qiu's presence as well as her power as an outsider was clearly revealed under Eastern Wastelands Bell.
The ripples of power belonged to the Immortals who were in between Soul Transformation and Soul Formation. At the instant it spread out, Eastern Wastelands Bell pressed down, and with it, the entire tower shuddered. The illusory statue of the woman before Bao Qiu immediately shattered and exploded into pieces. Bao Qiu also coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her face turned pale, and her body looked as if it was about to shatter at any moment due to the pressure.
Eastern Wastelands Bell sank another five feet, and because of that, it was as if a heavy force had suddenly appeared on a drowning person's body, wanting to drag him deep into the water. Despair appeared in Bao Qiu's eyes.
As Eastern Wastelands Bell sank down, an illusory shadow of a bell could be vaguely seen descending and charging towards Bao Qiu. At that moment, it had already closed in on the tower, and it was about to shoot through it to kill all the outsiders according to its mission.
Su Ming sighed softly and turned around. At the instant the illusory bell shot through the tower and was about to descend on Bao Qiu's spirit, he took a step forward, and at the instant he did so, he appeared behind Bao Qiu. He lifted his right hand and lifted it gently in the direction of the incoming illusory bell!
With it, Su Ming shuddered, but his expression remained the same. The illusory bell in his right hand no longer sank downwards, but had been forcefully blocked by him.
Almost at the instant Su Ming's right hand touched the illusory bell, Eastern Wastelands Bell in the sky let out a long bell chime. At the same time, a great will instantly appeared in Su Ming's heart.
That will did not speak. Instead, it was filled with a chilling and ancient air. Once it swept through Su Ming's body, it returned to Eastern Wastelands Bell in the sky. Soon after, an even stronger mighty pressure descended once again, as if it wanted to bypass Su Ming and suppress Bao Qiu to death.
In the sky, a mountain materialized!
That mountain was one hundred thousand feet tall and towered in the air. At the instant it appeared, the expressions of all the people in Evil Spirit Sect who were watching immediately changed. A glint even appeared in Grand Sect Elder Shen Dong's eyes.
He was the only one in the entire Evil Spirit Sect who could make Eastern Wastelands Bell manifest a mountain and a river since the Berserkers' Disaster started. No one else had the right to make Eastern Wastelands Bell do this. Just the mighty pressure that it sent downwards was enough to punish outsiders with their lives.
At that moment, the illusion of a mountain was the first to appear in Berserkers' Calamity after Shen Dong.
"Bao Qiu …" Grand Sect Elder Shen Dong mumbled under his breath.
Once the mountain appeared, it occupied a small part of the sky. It was a green mountain, and as an overflowing life force filled the area, it swiftly descended towards the tower that had appeared on the blood-red screen of light!
Bao Qiu widened her eyes as she stood beside Su Ming. She could sense the power of the mountain in the sky, and this was something she had never expected to happen. She had never expected that a mountain would manifest while she was going through the Berserkers' Disaster!
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He suddenly realized that his previous thoughts were wrong!
Once Eastern Wastelands Bell retrieved its will from him, it had manifested this mountain, and it was not targeted at Bao Qiu … but at him!
A smile appeared on Su Ming's face. Once he understood this, he looked towards the descending illusory mountain, and with just one glance, he could tell that there was no real killing intent within it!
This was something that no one else would be able to see, unless they were like Su Ming and had the same analysis and judgment as him. No matter how they looked at it, this was the Berserkers' Disaster descending upon them.
"The power of a mountain devoid of killing intent. This power descended because of my appearance … Since it isn't to erase my existence, then it must be … a trial!" A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. At the same time, the smile on his face grew brighter, and a hint of respect appeared in his eyes.
Su Ming was different from the others. He was familiar with Eastern Wastelands Bell because of Han Mountain Bell. He was grieved by everything that had happened just now, and he respected it because of its persistence. Even if it … was just a treasure, Su Ming still respected it!
At that moment, as the power of the mountain descended, Su Ming lifted his right hand and sliced his index finger with his thumb. Immediately, a thin cut appeared, and blood flowed out, dyeing his right index finger red. When he lifted his head and sensed that the power of the mountain was getting closer and that Bao Qiu was trembling even more furiously by his side, he swiped his blood-stained index finger across Bao Qiu's fair forehead.
Then, he smeared his blood on the center of Bao Qiu's brows!
That blood mark was like a mark. At the instant it was wiped off, Bao Qiu was completely stunned, because she noticed that once that blood fell on her forehead, she could no longer feel a single hint of pressure!
It was as if she had been placed outside, as if she had been ignored by Eastern Wastelands Bell, and the Berserkers' Disaster had let her go!
This scene caused Bao Qiu's heart to pound against her chest. She was in shock as she looked at Su Ming, dumbfounded. A huge storm raged in her heart, and the numerous questions she could not understand caused her breathing to quicken.
It was difficult for her to understand how Su Ming could make the Berserkers' Disaster spare her with just one swipe at the center of her brows.
She also could not understand how he had managed to do all of this. Just who was he? Just what sort of level of cultivation did he possess? Where did he come from … and just what sort of connection did he have with Eastern Wastelands Bell?
She could guess that there was definitely a huge secret hidden in this. Just what was that secret? As she hesitated, she seemed to have remembered something, and her eyes immediately went wide. She looked at Su Ming with a dumbfounded expression, and disbelief as well as a dazed bewilderment appeared on her face.
A loud bang reverberated in the world. Right before the eyes of all those in Evil Spirit Sect who were paying attention, the mountain that had manifested in the form of a mountain shot through the two-story building and was descending on it. None of them, including Shen Dong, had expected that there would be another person in Bao Qiu's house.
Right then, they could sense that Bao Qiu should be the one fighting against the power of the mountain.
Su Ming lifted his right hand swiftly, and his long hair danced in the air. His long robes danced in the air, and his eyes were fixed on the illusory green mountain that shot through the building. It was charging towards him with a bang, as if it wanted to suppress his soul and make it shatter. Yet right at the instant the illusory green mountain closed in on him, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pushed down on it!
With that one push, a muffled boom reverberated in the air. It spread out like a ripple and reverberated through the entire Evil Spirit Sect's mountain, but this sound could not be heard by the human ear. It could only be sensed by the soul, the voice of the soul.
All those who heard it, even Shen Dong, would be dazed for varying lengths of time. That voice echoed in their heads and refused to leave even after a long time had passed.
At that moment, Bao Qiu saw a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life. In fact, it had been carved into her soul, and it would turn into a scene that would last for eternity.
She saw Su Ming smiling!
At the instant he lifted his right hand and touched the illusory mountain, another illusory substance appeared around him, and it … was also a bell!
That bell manifested around Su Ming's body and enveloped him within it. She could vaguely see a nine-headed beast floating around the illusory bell. Even though it was not a mountain, river, or desert carved on it, the bell that appeared around Su Ming's body made Bao Qiu feel as if she was looking at Eastern Wastelands Bell in the midst of her shock when she saw it.
The voice of the soul that caused all the people's souls to be dazed was the sound that came from the power of the mountain crashing into the illusory bell!
Bao Qiu bit her bottom lip when she saw that not a single hint of killing intent or mighty pressure burst forth from the power of the mountain once it touched Su Ming and the illusory bell around him. Instead, as if it was melting, it dissipated and surged into the illusory bell around Su Ming's body.
As the power of the mountain completely dissipated and fused into Han Mountain Bell, besides the Nine-Headed Dragon carved on the surface of Su Ming's bell, there was also … a mountain that towered into the clouds!
"Thy appearance is in accordance with the law left behind by my Master, Lie Shan. When the land of the Berserkers is occupied by the outsiders … descend upon Eastern Wastelands Tower … This tower has ninety-nine floors. If you can reach the top, then you will become my new master … You will also obtain Lie Shan's understanding of all worlds, and the one who obtains it will know his destiny …
"Thy level of cultivation is still not enough to withstand my power … I will give thee a mountain as a mark. With this mark … you can enter Eastern Wastelands Tower … and begin your path of Blood Refinement.
"Thou art the first person to obtain the mark of a mountain … Eastern Wastelands Tower has appeared. After you, there will be twenty-six people who will obtain the right …"
A cold and ancient voice echoed in Su Ming's head. The words spoken by that voice caused Su Ming's eyes to focus. After a moment, when the voice disappeared and the blood-red screen of light changed, the two-story building was instantly covered up. The ones who appeared outside were the other Berserkers from Evil Spirit Sect who were going through the Berserkers' Disaster.
Su Ming's eyes sparkled. The voice in his head might have disappeared, but the meaning behind those words made him ponder them carefully.
'Eastern Wastelands Tower … By the looks of it, this tower will only be allowed to descend once it fulfills certain rules. Besides the fact that the land of the Berserkers is occupied by the outsiders, there is also another rule that requires me to appear.
'Lie Shan Xiu … 'A pensive look appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
Bao Qiu was looking at Su Ming with a dumbfounded expression, and gradually, respect appeared on her face. It did not matter whether it was due to the master-follower relationship between their souls or some other reason, it did not matter which race it was, the respect towards the powerful was something that would never change as the world developed.
"Thank you, Master." Bao Qiu stood up lightly and wrapped her fist in her palm to bow towards Su Ming.
