His roar was like a wave of thunder in the world. At the instant it spread out, it caused Shen Dong's fist to immediately slow down when it was several dozens of feet away from Su Ming. His body also trembled as if he was about to disappear.
And at that moment, what Su Ming brought out was eight-tenths of the power in his body!
This eight-tenths of power was the peak he had reached in the past. Once he brought it out, the fist might have slowed down and looked as if it was about to disappear, but it was still moving forward. It was getting closer to Su Ming, and the destructive power spreading out from the fist made it seem as if it could destroy his body and soul if it landed on his body!
Veins popped up on Shen Dong's face while he was hidden in the giant's shadow. All his power erupted from his body and turned into the giant's strongest power. It was a power that could fight against the Berserkers' Disaster, causing the fist to swiftly increase in speed. With a bang, it seemed to have surpassed the peak Su Ming had reached in the past and closed in on him.
However, eight-tenths of his power was only the peak Su Ming had reached in the past. At that moment, he might not have recovered all of his power, but he was already close to nine-tenths of it. This was the first time he brought out that extra tenth of his power.
An explosive power spread out from Su Ming's body with a bang and fused into his God of Berserkers' roar, causing that wave of sound to instantly drown out all the other sounds in the world, as if it had replaced the operations of the world, and at that moment, it completely erupted forth.
At the instant the roar reverberated in the air, the gigantic fist before Su Ming crumbled. As it shattered inch by inch, it tumbled backwards, and even the gigantic figure completely crumbled at that instant. As the fog figure shattered, Shen Dong coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backwards. He staggered ten steps backwards, and with each step he took, the air would tremble, and with each step, he would move ten feet!
After those ten steps, he was forced back a hundred feet!
Su Ming's face was pale. When the roar ended and the fog giant Shen Dong had turned into crumbled, he also coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backwards. He also took ten steps backwards before he managed to stabilize his body.
His breathing quickened, and when he lifted his head, he looked at Shen Dong, who also had blood at the corner of his mouth.
The two of them simply watched each other. During the first battle, both of them had clearly held back, which was why Shen Dong had been slightly weaker than Su Ming. However, during the second battle, Shen Dong had brought out his full power, and even if Su Ming had brought out the peak of his power before he was injured, he would still have been unable to fight against him. If it was not because he still had some hidden power, then he would have already lost this battle.
When he revealed the ninety percent of his strength that was recovering, both of them coughed up a mouthful of blood and retreated ten steps under the monstrous rumble. They were evenly matched!
Only an evenly matched battle would be the most satisfying. The two of them looked at each other from a distance of more than two hundred feet. Neither of them spoke, only their gazes met.
After some time, a smile gradually appeared at the corners of Shen Dong's lips, and it was the same for Su Ming. A smile appeared on his face, and it grew wider until it eventually turned into loud laughter.
Shen Dong was laughing, and Su Ming was laughing. The two people who had been fighting against each other on the empty battlefield were laughing loudly at that moment, and there was not a hint of disharmony in their laughter. Instead, there was a perfect harmony between them. It was a form of appreciation for each other, a form of respect towards each other, and a form of affirmation and acknowledgement towards each other.
"This battle was exhilarating!" As Shen Dong laughed, he lifted his right hand and patted his storage bag. Immediately, a gourd flew out from within. Once he caught it, he removed the stopper on it, and a thick fragrance of wine wafted out. He lifted his head and took a big swig from it.
"Fellow Daoist Oriole, do you want it?" Shen Dong drank a huge mouthful of wine with his own blood, then looked at Su Ming with a smile. A hint of respect appeared in his eyes. This respect had never appeared since he came to the Berserkers' world. Even when he was facing Evil Sect's Ji An, it was only respect. It was not the same as respect.
"I am a Berserker." Su Ming was still smiling, but a complicated look gradually appeared in his smile.
That complicated feeling was because even though he had not had much of a relationship with this person, his words and actions during this battle had all obtained Su Ming's respect. That feeling of appreciation for each other had not only grown in Shen Dong's heart, it had also appeared in Su Ming's heart.
However, the difference in their races had determined their fates.
"So what? You are the second person I've seen in the land of Berserkers who has obtained my respect and admiration. Fellow Daoist Oriole, you are bold but meticulous, and you are resolute in your actions. You clearly have a lot of Enchanted Treasures, and you even have the power of the Undertaker of Evil's Spear, but you chose to abandon them …
"Just now, when you forced me back with that roar, you originally had the chance to injure me even more severely, but you chose not to use it … We might be of different races, but I only know that this battle was exhilarating!
"Fellow Daoist Oriole, this wine will only be given to those I acknowledge. I'll ask you one more time, do you want it?" Shen Dong looked at Su Ming, and his laughter reverberated in the air. His upright and bright presence immediately chased away all the ghastly air around him, revealing him.
He might have come from Evil Sect, but there were also true men in Evil Sect!
Su Ming looked at Shen Dong, then lifted his right hand swiftly and seized the air in the direction of the gourd. Immediately, that gourd flew out from Shen Dong's hand and charged towards Su Ming. Once Su Ming caught it, he looked at Shen Dong, placed it by his mouth, and took a big swig from it.
'This battle was indeed exhilarating! This wine is even more exhilarating! ' The wine in Su Ming's mouth turned into a wave of heat, and as if a line of fire had been drawn out, it spread through his body, allowing his cultivation base to recover a tiny bit.
It might only be a hint, but it was enough to show just how valuable this wine was!
"Since you like this wine, then I'll give you the pot of wine in your hands!" Shen Dong laughed heartily, and there was a hint of happiness on his face. This was rarely seen on his face, which usually looked ghastly.
However, with Su Ming's experience, he could tell that there was no falsehood in the sincerity shown on his face.
"I came to the land of Berserkers to search for a chance to break through Ascendance and move into the second Step. Fellow Daoist Oriole, I can tell that your level of cultivation is very unique. You must have reached a critical moment. If both of us can reach a breakthrough, then we'll fight again!" Shen Dong looked at Su Ming, then brought out a gourd from his storage bag and took a big swig from it.
"We still have a third move. Do you want to fight?" Shen Dong put down the pot of wine and started laughing loudly.
"Of course we will!" Su Ming also laughed loudly. The two of them looked at each other, and no hatred could be seen in each other's eyes. However, there was a glint of unwillingness to admit defeat shining at the same time.
"What I'm going to cast is a divine ability I obtained by chance when I was in the land of Immortals. This Art should have been left behind by the ancient Immortals. I've practiced it for many years, but I still can't completely master it. This Art … is called … the Seven Abyssal Yin Death Seal!
"With my current level of cultivation, I can execute the power of one seal. Fellow Daoist Oriole, watch carefully!" Once Shen Dong said those words, he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue and coughed out a mouthful of blood. That blood abruptly exploded, and when it scattered in all directions, seven blurry illusions manifested. Once those seven illusions appeared, an incomparably thick and vast wave of Aura of Death instantly surged forth from all directions. Once it was completely absorbed by the seven illusions, the seven illusions revealed themselves to be rather clear.
They were seven people wearing crowns and Verdant Abyssal Robes. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but there was a mighty pressure that made Su Ming's heart tremble spreading out from their bodies.
Immediately after, the seven shadows in Verdant Abyssal Robes lifted their right hands. With a swing of their arms, the weather changed, and the entire area changed. The sky could no longer be seen, and it was enveloped by a layer of green aura.
At the same time, the seven shadows in Verdant Abyssal Robes also disappeared, but right at the instant they disappeared, a great sense of danger rose swiftly from under Su Ming's feet.
When Su Ming lowered his head, his pupils shrank. He saw that the ground that had been replaced by the green fog had turned into a gigantic mark.
That mark was green, and it was exuding a mighty pressure that caused Su Ming's heart to tremble. It looked as if it could activate at any moment and bring forth the destructive power of the Seven Abyssal Yin Death Seal.
However, this gigantic mark was not centered around Su Ming. He was at the edge of the mark, and at the instant he looked over, Shen Dong's low shout reverberated in the air.
Piercing green light instantly erupted from the mark in the green fog. That light covered everything around it, but there were no loud booms, no shocking ripples of power. When the light disappeared, Su Ming was still standing on the ground, and Shen Dong was standing in the distance with a pale face.
The green fog disappeared, and the Seven Abyssal Yin Death Seal also disappeared along with it.
However … the ground several thousands of feet away from where Su Ming was was now empty. That empty space spanned a hundred lis, and from the distance, it looked as if a gigantic pit had appeared in that place, because that part of the ground had disappeared. Even the sky over there had turned indistinct. In fact, there was even a gigantic hole at the top of the sky that was slowly closing up.
Su Ming fell silent.
Shen Dong's breathing quickened. After some time, he looked at Su Ming, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Oriole, this Art might only be one seal, but how powerful is it?"
Su Ming closed his eyes, and after several breaths, he opened them and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards Shen Dong. He did not answer Shen Dong's question, but instead lifted his right hand with the back of his hand facing the sky, and his palm facing the ground.
"If my palm is the passage of time, if one side represents the past, if the other side represents the future …" Su Ming mumbled softly. For the first time ever, his hair, which had been dyed black by Ugly Little Thing's family, faded away to reveal the mixture of white and purple on his head, revealing a head of hair that would make people's hearts tremble in fear!
At the same time, the astonishing sight of time flowing backwards appeared in the area once Su Ming waved his hand after he said those words.
Shen Dong's eyes went wide, and disbelief, as well as shock, appeared on his face. He looked at the land and sky around him with a dumbfounded expression. Time was flowing backwards rapidly, and he watched the pit in the distance disappear. The hole in the sky also disappeared, and he saw a gigantic Verdant Abyssal Seal appearing in the space between the land and sky once again. When he saw all of this, Shen Dong sucked in a sharp breath.
'What is this divine ability?! ' Shen Dong's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt fortunate that he had not thought of killing Su Ming under the Verdant Abyssal Seal just now, or else …
Su Ming looked at the Verdant Abyssal Seal in the restored world, and a strange light appeared in his eyes as he observed it carefully.
With his heart as his drawing board and his soul as his brush, he looked as if he was copying it … [If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.]
