This was the first time Su Ming stepped into the ninth layer of Eastern Wastelands Tower. Almost at the instant he did so, the entire Eastern Wastelands Tower started trembling with a bang. Circles of light surrounded the tower and swiftly spread out in all directions.
As they spread out, the first layer of Eastern Wastelands Tower instantly lit up, followed by the second layer, the third layer … Up to the first eight layers, all of them shone with a powerful light. As for the ninth layer, it was caught between light and darkness, and it was changing rapidly.
If anyone took a closer look at the circles of light, they would find that there were eight of them. These eight circles of light represented the eight layers of the tower Su Ming had cleared, and they had erupted at the instant he stepped into the ninth layer.
Clearly, the ninth layer was a boundary. If a person could not step into the ninth layer, then this change would not have happened. Only those who possessed the power to enter the ninth layer would be able to make Eastern Wastelands Tower shine with such a powerful light.
That light instantly covered the entire Eastern Wastelands, and it even showed signs of spreading even further. Almost at that instant, all the Berserkers in Eastern Wastelands stopped whatever they were doing. They lifted their heads and were attracted by the eight ripples that swept through the sky.
Even Qian Chen, who was pretending to be dead in the forest, instinctively opened his eyes and looked at the ripples in the sky with a dumbfounded expression. The old man who was the bald crane, who was chatting endlessly with the three young Berserkers, was also stunned. The three young men before him also reacted in the same manner.
At the instant all the people with Berserker blood in the land of Berserkers saw the circles of light in the sky, all of them sensed their blood boiling, which had been absent for a year!
It was the boiling of their God of Berserkers, the faint guidance from their blood.
"God of Berserkers! It's the God of Berserkers!"
"The God of Berserkers has appeared once again!" Booming sounds that surged into the sky rose from all corners of the land of Berserkers at that instant. They had been searching for Su Ming for a year, and their God of Berserkers had already searched through the entire Eastern Wastelands.
They had not found a single clue during that one year, but they did not give up. They continued expanding their search area and continued searching. They believed firmly that their God of Berserkers would not die. They believed firmly that their God of Berserkers was still around.
At that moment, when they sensed the guidance from the bloodline, excited shouts rang out across the entire Eastern Wasteland. Rays of light shot into the air toward the source of the ripples.
It was especially so for the tribes and Berserkers who were close to Eastern Wastelands Tower. At that instant, in shock, they saw the source of the light rings … the bright eight-story tower of Eastern Wastelands Tower.
"The God of Berserkers is in Eastern Wastelands Tower!" Excited voices reverberated in the air. Those who were closer to the battle used their full speed to rush over.
Eastern Wastelands' Chi Lei Tian, Xue Sha, the tribe's leader Wu Shuang, All Entities Clan's Great Sect Elder Tian Qi, and the others were all working hard for the Berserkers' rise to power at that moment. When the ripples in the sky reverberated, they lifted their heads and turned into long arcs that charged into the sky.
The Fated Kin did not leave the place where the Immortals descended for too long after they sensed Su Ming's existence. Instead, they stayed in the vicinity and did not interact with the people from the other tribes. They lived independently.
They were unique. They did not come into contact with other people. They were Fated Kin!
It was as if their lives in the World of Nine Yin had appeared once more, but they no longer faced constant danger. The region they lived in had been continuously modified during the past year, gradually turning into a suitable place for Fated Kin to bring out even greater combat prowess.
During the past year, they had also been searching for Su Ming and their Respected Senior Mo. Now, at the instant the ripples reverberated in the sky, all the Fated Kin stood up in excitement and turned into long arcs that charged towards Eastern Wastelands Tower.
This was the action of all Berserkers in Eastern Wastelands, and it was also the action of most of the Berserkers in the various islands in South Morning. An innumerable amount of Berserkers charged through the sky, and their goal was the same — Eastern Wastelands Tower!
Su Ming did not know about the storm raging in the world outside. At that moment, he was standing in the ninth layer of Eastern Wastelands Tower. There was an incredibly thick layer of golden light around him, and wisps of the presence of World Planes spread out from that golden light. They surrounded Su Ming, causing his body to be indistinctly visible within that presence.
As the presence of World Planes surrounded him, it continuously fused into Su Ming's body. He closed his eyes and circulated his cultivation base, swiftly absorbing it and turning it into the power of Life Matrix Realm.
This was the serendipity of Eastern Wastelands Tower. This was the ninth time Su Ming had obtained this serendipity. When he had stepped into the first layer of Eastern Wastelands Tower all those years ago, he had obtained this serendipity for the first time while he was heavily injured. It allowed his injuries to recover, and as he cleared each layer, he gradually came to understand this tower.
This was a tall tower that had been sealed off for countless years. Only the first person to clear each layer would be able to obtain this serendipity.
And now, Su Ming was the only one in Eastern Wastelands Tower!
After a moment, when Su Ming opened his eyes, his body was filled with an otherworldly feeling. He stood in the tower and quietly sensed his cultivation base. The power of World Planes in the ninth layer far surpassed that of the previous eight layers. The absorption alone had allowed his cultivation base to receive a large amount of nourishment.
'There's still some distance between me and the pinnacle of the initial stage of Life Matrix Realm, but if I continue like this and clear a few more layers, then perhaps I'll be able to reach the pinnacle of the initial stage of Life Matrix Realm. ' Su Ming sucked in a deep breath of the presence of World Planes in the golden light, then lifted his foot and walked out of the center of the ninth layer.
At the instant he took that step, Su Ming's vision blurred. When everything became clear again, a towering mountain appeared before his eyes.
That mountain was incredibly tall, and its peak could not be seen in the blue sky. He could only see an endless amount of clouds hiding the mountain within.
Behind that mountain was a river in the sky. It was vast and boundless, and it was connected to the ground. The river water poured down on the ground like a waterfall, but it would flow in reverse even further into the sky and fuse into the river, forming a cycle of the river in the sky. Even though the mountain was very far away, Su Ming could still hear the sounds of the river flowing.
However, due to the mountain being too tall, a small part of the river in Su Ming's eyes was covered by the mountain, and he could not see it completely.
There was a mountain, a river, and a desert on the ground.
That desert was the entirety of the land. The sand that was swept up by the wind brought with it moaning sounds that reverberated in all directions, covering the mountain and river in Su Ming's eyes.
This was the ninth layer of Eastern Wastelands Tower.
"The ninth layer of Eastern Wastelands consists of a mountain, a river, and a desert … Those who challenge this layer can bring out their full power and destroy everything, or they can understand the Domain in this place and naturally break through.
"Two choices. Two paths." A buzzing voice echoed in the air from all directions. There was a feeling of time to that voice, as if it had existed in this place for a very, very long time.
This was not the first time Su Ming heard this voice. All those who stepped into the tower for the first time would hear this voice, but it would only happen once. When they stepped into the tower a second time, it would no longer appear.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He took a step forward, and in an instant, his body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already standing on a mountain rock protruding out from the middle of the mountain. As he stood there, he cast his gaze forward, and the river in the sky appeared incredibly clearly before his eyes.
The river in the sky was vast, and the booming sounds of water spread through the area. However … by the looks of it, the distance between the river and this place did not seem to have changed compared to when he had just stepped out of the center of the ninth layer.
In silence, Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the tall mountain under his feet. With one move, he turned into a long arc that charged towards the top of the mountain.
Time trickled by. An hour later, Su Ming frowned. He … was still in the mountain. When he lifted his head, the mountain was still hidden in the clouds and fog. Even if he was already at the highest part of the mountain, he still could not step onto the top.
After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming lowered his head and looked at the ground. After some time, his pupils shrank.
"There's no end to this mountain …" Su Ming mumbled. He had thought that the mountain was very tall when he first saw it, but now that he stepped on it, he could see some clues. The mountain seemed to be boundless, and every single time he moved a certain distance, the mountain would increase in size.
Because of that, there was no end to the mountain, and neither was there a peak.
After a moment of silence, Su Ming turned into a long arc and left the mountain to charge towards the river in the sky in front of him. However, no matter how fast he traveled, the distance between him and the river in the sky remained the same. It was as if the distance between the two of them was the same as the height of the mountain. As Su Ming got closer to it, the distance between them continued increasing.
Su Ming had seen something similar when he was at the altar at the back of the mountain where the Fated Kin lived in the World of Nine Yin. However, the altar was always right in front of him, and no matter how fast he ran, he could not catch up to it.
Su Ming might have cleared the altar under the old Spirit of Nine Yin's guidance, but with Su Ming's current level of cultivation, he could tell that the mysteriousness contained within this mountain and river far surpassed that of the altar in the World of Nine Yin.
Su Ming gradually stopped charging forward and slowly sank down until he landed on the desert. He sat down cross-legged and looked at the Barren Muslin on the ground.
He could vaguely sense that there was some sort of profound meaning contained within this mountain, river, and desert. If he could understand that meaning, then his understanding towards Life would become much deeper.
'Lie Shan Xiu … You used the appearance of Eastern Wastelands Tower to turn it into an open scheme to make the Immortals kill each other so that the Berserkers could obtain hope to rise to power.
'To the Immortals, the tower is to allow them to obtain the epiphany towards Plane Kalpa that you left at the top of the tower, and to the Berserkers, this Eastern Wastelands Tower is to help them increase their levels of cultivation. It is a trial ground for all Berserkers to increase their levels of cultivation.
'You left behind the cultivation methods for the Evil Spirits and Surging Indulgers in the first eight layers, and you even introduced these two races in the sixth layer. There must be some sort of profound meaning behind your actions … '
A pensive look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. After some time, he closed his eyes and quietly sensed the mountain, river, and desert in the ninth layer of Eastern Wastelands Tower.
Time trickled by …
