Almost at the instant the power Su Ming had come to understand from the Undying and Imperishable World erupted from his right hand after it went through the nine transformations, causing his right hand to look like a bag of bones, like a skeleton, a grim expression appeared on Shen Dong's face. He formed a seal with his hands and pointed forward.
Immediately, the four birds in front of him, starting from the cuckoo to the Roc, roared and flapped their wings to charge towards Su Ming. The four small black humanoids that had grown together with the birds on their backs opened their mouths wide and let out piercing screeches. As they formed seals with their hands, they controlled the birds to close in on him in the blink of an eye.
Su Ming remained calm. He did not look at the four incoming birds, but instead looked at his right hand. Almost at the instant the birds closed in and stirred up a huge gust of wind that caused Su Ming's hair to fly into the air, his right hand turned gold.
At first glance, it looked like a golden hand bone!
When he lifted the golden arm, he made a grabbing motion in the direction of the four incoming birds. The instant he did so, the cuckoo's body trembled, and it was frozen in midair. It was as if the laws of the world around it had changed, causing the air around it to instantly become corporeal. A powerful pressure was created, and it seemed as if the cuckoo was being forced to stay in midair.
Soon after, the eagle let out a shrill screech when it was several dozens of feet away from the cuckoo. Its body, too, was forced to stop under the power of Su Ming's grab. Loud booming sounds came from within its body, and just like the cuckoo, its body was frozen in midair. As it struggled, the power that froze it became stronger.
Next, as the eagle trembled viciously, it let out a piercing and shrill screech, and its body rushed a hundred something feet away before it froze in midair due to the power of Su Ming's seize.
When Su Ming froze the eagle, he took two steps back with a grim expression on his face. Clearly, fighting against this sort of divine ability was not easy for him.
As for the final bird, the gigantic Winged Roc, it closed in with a loud whistle. The power of Su Ming's seize could only slow it down slightly, but it could not freeze it in midair.
When the Winged Roc closed in with increasing speed, violent gusts of wind howled, and the weather changed, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist.
At the instant he clenched his fist, the cuckoo immediately crumbled with a bang, stirring up an endless wave of air that swept through the area. The eagle also shuddered and exploded, followed soon after by the eagle.
As the three birds crumbled, the ripples stirred up by their destruction spread out, causing the sky to rumble nonstop, causing the gigantic Winged Roc's already slow body to have to face all the impact.
As Su Ming clenched his right hand into a fist, wisps of white smoke tumbled backwards from the three birds that crumbled and filled his fist. They continued gathering together, and Su Ming's expression became even more solemn.
Su Ming was already incredibly skilled in this seizing and absorbing Art. Once he executed the Nine Transformations, he suddenly had a strong feeling that there was a new change in his clenched fist.
At the instant that feeling appeared, an enraged roar came from the impact of the collapse of the three birds. The Winged Roc's gigantic body swiftly broke free from the ripples created by the impact and charged out in an instant.
It was so quick that it closed in on Su Ming in the blink of an eye, causing everything in the area to become indistinct. Only the ferocious Winged Roc remained incredibly clear!
The small black humanoid on its back let out a piercing screech, and a destructive power came crashing into Su Ming's face.
A brilliant glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Almost at the instant the Winged Roc closed in on him, he unclenched his right fist, pressed his fingers together to form a palm, and pushed it forward.
The instant he threw his palm forward, the white mist surrounding Su Ming's palm instantly distorted, and the faint shadows of three birds could be seen filling the air. In the blink of an eye, the instant Su Ming's palm moved forward, it crashed into the Winged Roc!
This scene was like a picture. Within it, Su Ming's hair danced in the air as he stood in midair. He had his right hand lifted before him, and what he was pressing down on was an incredibly gigantic Winged Roc. There was also a ferocious humanoid in black on the Winged Roc's back.
Time seemed to have stopped along with the picture, but that stillness only lasted for an instant before it was completely torn apart by a loud bang that shook the sky and earth.
In the midst of that bang, the Winged Roc's body started shattering inch by inch, and once the cracks spread through its entire body, it was torn to pieces. Even the small black humanoid on its back let out a shrill screech and started disappearing under the violent gusts of wind, as if it had turned into a person made of sand …
When it completely disappeared, Su Ming, who had been hidden by its gigantic body, was revealed. Su Ming's face was slightly pale, but he continued standing there. He did not take a single step backwards. His hair was still dancing in the air, but his eyes were closed at that moment.
When the area around him gradually disappeared and everything returned to normal, Shen Dong stood not too far away. His face was pale, and there was a hint of shock within the complicated look on his face.
'Gaining an epiphany during a battle … This … I can't believe I ran into this sort of thing! Those who can gain an epiphany during a battle must have incredibly high comprehensive abilities. '
He hesitated for a moment and stared at Su Ming. After some time, he gave up on the thought of ambushing him. As a powerful Immortal in Ascendance, he could die in battle, but if he wanted to ambush someone, then he would not be able to go against the principles in his heart.
Su Ming opened his eyes. The instant he struck with his palm just now, he had submerged himself in a strange state without his knowledge. That feeling was difficult to describe with words. It was as if everything around him had slowed down, and it was so slow that he had enough time to think and counterattack.
In that slow state, he saw his right hand turning into a palm. At the instant he pushed forward, the white fog turned into three birds, and they were the creatures formed by Shen Dong's divine ability.
As he watched them, a strange feeling rose in his heart. He felt as if he possessed the Art of Creation … and with that hand of his, he could make all sorts of destructive existences manifest …
Seize, suck … and push.
Seize was to shatter, suck was to absorb, and push … was to transform!
In this strange state, he also saw Shen Dong's expression. In truth, Shen Dong's expression at that time had been magnified and slowed down several times in Su Ming's eyes. He could ponder and analyze it in detail, and if Shen Dong truly wanted to attack, then in Su Ming's current state, he would have enough time to wake up.
This feeling of the world slowing down and him remaining the same made Su Ming's thoughts become much livelier. He had a strong feeling that if he could continue gaining an epiphany in this state for a long period of time, then he would be able to control the universe.
However, it was a pity that this feeling only lasted for the span of a few breaths before it immediately disappeared. When everything returned to normal, Su Ming woke up.
As a brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes, Shen Dong lifted his right hand.
"I was not as good as you in our first match …" A glint appeared in his eyes, and as he lifted his right hand, he formed a circle with his index finger and thumb before he pushed it towards the sky. Immediately, a large amount of black fog seeped out from his right hand and spread through the area. In the blink of an eye, it covered Shen Dong's entire body, and when layers of black fog layered on top of his body, a gigantic figure that was about a hundred something feet tall appeared before Su Ming.
That figure was completely formed by black fog, and it looked as if it was alive. Once it appeared, it lifted its head and let out a roar that sounded like thunder. Su Ming knew that Shen Dong was within that gigantic figure. This was the second time he had seen this sort of divine ability.
The first time was when Shen Dong had executed this ability when he was fighting against the Berserkers' Disaster on Evil Spirit Sect's mountain. He might have been destroyed by the Berserkers' Disaster, but in truth, he had been completely unharmed!
"Giant Spirit Transformation is one of the three Ultimate Arts in Evil Spirit Sect. The giant spirit formed by this Art possesses the power to support the world, and it can absorb the spiritual aura around it so that it can grow endlessly!
"Fellow Daoist Oriole, take this strike from my Giant Spirit!" Shen Dong's voice rumbled as it tumbled out of the giant's mouth. He did not move, but lifted his right hand and pulled it behind his back, causing his body to lean like a bow. Immediately after, as a shocking roar reverberated in the air, the giant of black fog clenched his right hand into a fist, and as if he had straightened his bow-shaped body, that gigantic fist let out a bang and hurled forward with a howl.
The gigantic fist stirred up a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air, causing the void to truly shatter. It was as if the void was unable to endure Shen Dong's Divine Ability. Wherever the fist passed, the void would shatter.
Su Ming's pupils shrank. Stabbing pain filled his entire body at that moment, and in fact, he even lost his ability to breathe. He could clearly sense that as the giant opened his fist, it seemed to have extracted all the aura in the area, causing the place to instantly turn into a state similar to when he executed the third Style of Wind Separation.
It was as if all the aura in the area had been absorbed by that fist and turned into a shocking power that came charging towards him with a bang. However, he did not retreat. He could not retreat, and neither did he want to retreat!
'As expected of a powerful Immortal who has attained great completion in Ascendance and is equivalent to a Berserker who has attained great completion in the Berserker Soul Realm! 'A strong fighting spirit appeared in Su Ming's eyes. This person respected him, and he also respected this powerful warrior.
Even if their races were different, even if their dreams were different, even if their ways of living were completely different, this was the respect that belonged to the powerful, and Su Ming would still give it to him.
"The God of Berserkers' roar … I wonder which God of Berserkers created it …" As the fist came charging towards him, Su Ming spoke calmly. At the instant his words reverberated in the air, he let out his strongest roar towards the incoming fist!
That roar rose swiftly, causing the area to immediately rumble.
At the same time, Su Ming's cultivation base continued erupting from his body. Clearly … he had been holding back during the first match. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
