Once he absorbed the flesh and blood in the blue stone, Su Ming suddenly remembered something he had never understood - the reason why the Crimson Python Phoenix had absorbed the light blue aura from the corpse.
Su Ming had watched the Crimson Python Phoenix absorb the aura spreading out from the corpse during the past year, but he had not been able to absorb even a single bit of it.
In silence, Su Ming closed his eyes. As he circulated his cultivation base, his compatibility with his physical body reached perfection. His body was filled with the heat of flames, and it was as if even his breathing would cause hot air to spread out from his body.
There was also a layer of distortions around his body. Those distortions were like flowing water, and they rotated around his body. This was the inborn ability of Su Ming's body, and it was the strange divine ability that allowed him to disperse matter with just one punch.
The smaller Crimson Python Phoenix beside him was staring at the bald crane. They seemed to find each other to be an eyesore and were growling. The bald crane had long since seen through the relationship between Su Ming and the two ferocious beasts. At that moment, it was lying on the rock and sizing up the Crimson Python Phoenix, then decided to change its body and turned into a big, yellowish-brown dog.
This was the strongest ferocious beast it could remember. Once it transformed, it bared its teeth at the Crimson Python Phoenix.
As for the Crimson Python Phoenix that had the power equivalent to a Lord of World Planes, it had long since entered the depths of the magma and was in deep sleep. It would only wake up during sacrifices to eat.
The smaller Crimson Python Phoenix immediately widened its eyes in the face of the mutt the bald crane had turned into. Clearly, it had never seen such a ferocious beast before. As it hesitated, the same distorted ripples as Su Ming's immediately appeared around its body.
Under those ripples, wisps of strange laws instantly filled the Crimson Python Phoenix's body. It glared at the mutt the bald crane had turned into and let out low growls.
During the past year, the phoenix and crane had been glaring at each other with hostility, but they had never truly attacked each other. At that moment, as they were roaring at each other, the Crimson Python Phoenix suddenly shuddered and crawled into the magma without any hesitation, not daring to show itself.
This sudden action immediately stunned the bald crane. It bared its teeth, but just as it was about to mock it, its heart suddenly shuddered. A powerful mighty pressure filled the area beyond the volcano with a bang. That mighty pressure contained a divine sense, as if there was an incredibly powerful person sweeping through the land with his divine sense at that moment.
The bald crane immediately let out a shrill cry. It had a vague feeling that the act of this divine sense sweeping through the land had happened before in its memories, and it was very dangerous.
As it screamed, it ignored the heat of the magma and dove into it.
At the same time, the gigantic Crimson Python Phoenix that was slumbering in the depths of the magma had long since opened its eyes. There was deep fear in its eyes, but it still moved and let out a roar from the depths of the magma towards the mouth of the volcano.
This roar was a roar that declared its territory even if it was filled with fear.
Su Ming had already opened his eyes. He was staring at the sky beyond the volcano. His expression might have been calm, but his pupils had shrank.
At that moment, it did not matter which part of Crimson Flame Planet they were in, no matter what they were doing, all of their expressions changed drastically at that instant, and all of them immediately stopped what they were doing.
Even those who were fighting against each other, even if they could kill each other if they were just a little closer, stopped at that instant and chose to sit down cross-legged on the ground, not daring to move even a single inch.
It was as if they were worried that if they took any extra action, they would suffer an unimaginable destruction.
All the cultivators in Crimson Flame Planet reacted the same way, including Yue Hong Bang and the others. All of their faces turned pale as they looked at the sky while trembling. The helplessness and fear in their eyes were incredibly clear.
At the same time, there was a stone house at the top of a tall mountain to the east of Crimson Flame Planet. There was an old woman with disheveled hair sitting cross-legged in the stone house. She had her eyes open and was staring at the sky above her, as if her gaze could pierce through the roof and see the galaxy above.
The ripples of power belonging to a Lord of World Plane Realm could be sensed from her body, but at that moment, she had suppressed those ripples to an incredibly weak level. In fact, humiliation soon appeared in her eyes, and she gradually chose to kneel down instead of sitting cross-legged.
In the western part of Crimson Flame Planet was the only green forest in the entire planet. There was a middle-aged man who was touching the green leaves on a tree with a dazed look on his face.
It was as if the green had reminded him of some beautiful memories. As he gently caressed the leaves, and as the mighty pressure from the world and the divine sense swept through the area, he gradually lifted his head and looked at the sky. Anguish appeared on his face.
In that anguish, he slowly knelt down on the ground and worshiped it.
Besides the cultivators who did not move in the entire Crimson Flame Planet, only the powerful ferocious beasts roared to announce their territories.
Su Ming's pupils shrank as he stood in the magma in the volcano. He could vaguely sense that the source of the mighty pressure from the world and the divine sense came from beyond Crimson Flame Planet.
A title Yue Hong Bang had mentioned a year ago appeared in his head.
"True Guard," Su Ming said softly.
At that moment, there was a gigantic ancient bronze sword floating in the galaxy beyond Crimson Flame Planet. If Su Ming saw that ancient bronze sword, he would definitely find it familiar. This sword was the Enchanted Treasure he had seen in the World of Nine Yin in Yin Death Region, the one used by the Spirits of Nine Yin to move through the galaxy.
It might not be the same, but it was incredibly similar.
That ancient sword was one hundred thousand feet long, and there were seven people standing on it at that moment. These seven people were dressed in wide robes, and their expressions were indifferent. The presence that belonged to Lords of World Planes spread out from their bodies.
Behind them were three thousand cultivators sitting cross-legged and meditating. The level of cultivation of these three thousand cultivators was secondary. The bloody and murderous air coming from them surpassed their levels of cultivation. As it spread out, all those who saw it would feel as if they were in a sea of blood.
If that was all there was to it, it would not have been a big deal. An even more powerful wave came from the ancient greenish-bronze sword. This wave was so strong that it could easily destroy a cultivation planet. It could easily tear apart the body and soul of a Universe Master.
True Guards!
The patrol team formed by the powerful warriors from the four Great True Worlds keeping a lookout over this place had names and power that made many of the people in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence feel threatened. At that moment, the ancient bronze sword had clearly patrolled the area around Crimson Flame Planet. The divine sense and mighty pressure that covered the entire Crimson Flame Planet were spreading out from their bodies.
The seven people standing at the tip of the sword had calm expressions on their faces. In fact, they were even chatting and joking with each other. After a moment, green light shone from the tip of the ancient bronze sword, and a long green arc erupted from it with a bang. It turned into a green arc that charged towards Crimson Flame Planet.
It was so quick that it instantly touched Crimson Flame Planet, but it did not shatter. The green arc scattered and immediately turned into a large amount of green light that spread out. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire Crimson Flame Planet.
As the green light covered the planet, an illusion instantly appeared in the galaxy before the seven people.
It was the projection of a cultivation planet that had been shrunk several times and was now only one thousand feet big. There were plenty of glowing spots on the projection, but most of them were dull. Only about a hundred glowing spots were light red, and they were scattered in various regions of the cultivation planet's projection.
"There are far fewer people who have reached the peak of Heaven Cultivation Realm compared to ten years ago," the seven people said to each other as they looked at the illusory projection of the cultivation planet.
"There are still only two sinners who are Lords of World Planes."
There were two brightest dark red glowing spots on the illusory projection. One of them was located in the east, and the other in the west. There was even a respectful presence coming from those glowing spots.
"The ferocious beasts left behind by the alien races in the past had their intelligence wiped away for all eternity, but their growth is still incredibly shocking …" As the faint voice from the seven people echoed in the air, several purple glowing spots immediately appeared in seven regions on the illusory projection.
Those glowing spots were scattered in these seven regions. Some of them were alone, and some of them were in groups of two or three. In the northern region of Crimson Flame Planet was a region that looked like a volcano. There were three purple glowing spots, one big and two small.
"Alright, everything on the outside is normal. Let's look at the inside. That's the most important place." A mighty voice from one of the seven people said. When it appeared, the remaining six people immediately stopped chatting and their expressions became solemn. Even the murderous aura from the three thousand cultivators behind them became even thicker. Streams of light flowed out from the ancient bronze swords at that moment, as if they were about to unleash their strongest attack at any moment.
The seven people formed seals at the same time and pointed at the illusory projection of the cultivation planet. Ripples immediately appeared on the projection, and as layers of it tumbled about, the interior of Crimson Flame Planet was revealed!
There was … a crimson red region in the interior of Crimson Flame Planet. At the instant they saw it, the expressions of the seven people became even more solemn, and faint traces of wariness and nervousness appeared on their faces.
As the illusory projection continued tumbling about, it looked as if it was magnifying the area layer by layer. Eventually, a gigantic glowing spot that was shining with a piercing red light was revealed in the depths of the crimson region. In fact, if anyone looked at it for a prolonged period of time, they would even see a faint hint of black in it.
The crimson red in the area was clearly caused by the light from the glowing spot.
At the same time, once the glowing spot appeared, thin white threads intersected with each other and appeared to cover the entire Crimson Flame Planet. It could be seen that the glowing spot was located at the center of those white threads.
When they saw this, the expressions of the seven people on the ancient bronze swords relaxed.
"The seal isn't damaged in the slightest. The felons from the alien races imprisoned here are still in deep sleep."
"Each of the cultivation planets in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence has a felon from the alien races imprisoned here. I heard that there are incredibly terrifying members of the alien races in the core of the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. I wonder which Kalpa Cultivator came up with this suggestion in the past, but these people shouldn't be able to continue living. The change in Black Ink Planet ten thousand years ago is the best example."
"It's not like you don't know that these felons from the alien races are incredibly difficult to kill …"
"But it's hard on us juniors. Thank goodness we're patrolling in different areas. As long as nothing happens in this area, we won't be able to patrol the other places."
As the seven people discussed among themselves, the illusory projection disappeared. Once the blue light in the entire Crimson Flame Planet dissipated, the ancient bronze sword floating beyond the planet slowly turned around and gradually left into the distance. The mighty pressure and divine sense in Crimson Flame Planet also faded away.
Once I got home, I started writing without stopping. My daughter was playing with Xiao Moxian's toys by the side, my wife was watching Guo Degang's crosstalk, and she was like a steel wire … My pet dog was biting a teddy bear to train its pouncing skills …
As for me, I was happily writing my story in the midst of the rumbling of firecrackers outside the window …
