"The Soul Crystal is connected to my life. If I use it three times in my life, I will definitely die. This is the third time I will use it. Even if I die, I will make all of you pay the price!" Madness appeared on Qi Bei Shan's face. He squeezed the crystal in his hand, and the three-colored ripple swiftly swept through the area with him as the center. All the cultivators who were affected by the ripple came to an abrupt halt.
The Soul Crystal could instantly freeze the souls of all those within its area of effect. It could not last for long, but during a battle, it could serve a crucial purpose.
Almost at the instant the people in the area stopped moving and confusion appeared on their faces, Qi Bei Shan looked towards Su Ming, who stood on the Crimson Python Phoenix, and killing intent appeared in his eyes.
The person he hated the most was Yue Hong Bang, but he was a cunning man. Before he died, he had already made up his mind. Once he killed Su Ming, Yue Hong Bang would only be able to continue struggling in Crimson Flame Planet. If Su Ming had not become Yue Hong Bang's aid, he would not have to face this imminent death. Before he died, Qi Bei Shan laughed harshly and charged towards Su Ming.
The Crimson Python Phoenix roared. When it swung its head, Qi Bei Shan laughed shrilly. When he lifted his right hand, a four-colored crystal appeared on his palm. He knew that he would die without anyone attacking him, which was why he decided to burn his soul and cast his Secret Art once again. The four-colored crystal manifested in his hand, and he squeezed it. Instantly, the four-colored ripple spread out, causing the Crimson Python Phoenix to freeze for a moment. At that instant, Qi Bei Shan appeared before Su Ming with a ferocious look on his face. With monstrous killing intent, he pointed towards Su Ming with his right hand.
"So what if you tamed the Crimson Python Phoenix?! Come with me to hell!"
'Most of the people who can survive in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence are people who are difficult to kill easily … 'Su Ming shook his head. With an aloof expression, he lifted his left hand and swung it towards the incoming Qi Bei Shan.
With it, the past and future intersected with each other. The power of Destiny spread out once Su Ming's soul awakened, and the power of law descended swiftly, causing Qi Bei Shan's body to freeze in midair. His eyes went wide, and disbelief appeared in his eyes. He could no longer move forward. Instead, as if time had reversed, he fell back. Even the shattered four-colored crystal stopped shattering. Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.
In his astonishment, the Crimson Python Phoenix no longer paused after the four-colored crystal had collapsed. It was as if nothing and no one in the entire world had changed. Only Qi Bei Shan seemed to have been isolated from the world. Only he was retreating, and only his time was rewinding.
At this moment, the hundreds of people not far away had also recovered. The instant they recovered their soul solidification, all of them saw this extremely strange scene that shocked everyone.
This scene had exceeded their imaginations, and it was even to the extent that they were unable to discern exactly what had happened. All they saw was the mysterious person standing on top of the Crimson Python Phoenix's head waving his hand, and Qi Bei Shan's body retreated while the shattered four-colored crystal reformed once more ….
However, the scene that happened next caused shock and fear to appear on the faces of the hundreds of people in the area.
"Previously, it was three colors. Now, it's four colors." Su Ming looked at the four-colored crystal in Qi Bei Shan's hand without any expression on his face. He lifted his left hand and beckoned at Qi Bei Shan. Immediately, the four-colored crystal in Qi Bei Shan's hand turned into a five-colored one. Qi Bei Shan's expression twisted. His eyes went wide, and as fear and despair appeared in them, the crystal in his hand shattered. Everything happened again, but the four-colored crystal had turned into a five-colored one.
Yet soon, as Su Ming waved his hand and Qi Bei Shan moved back once more, the five-colored crystal that gathered together once more turned into a six-colored one.
Uproars rose from the mouths of the cultivators who were watching this. Their hearts were in shock. The strangeness of this scene caused terror to appear on their faces when they looked towards Su Ming.
The six-colored crystal had turned into a seven-colored crystal!
The uproars became even more intense. Even some shadows distorted in the sky. One of them was to the east, and the other to the west, revealing two figures with solemn expressions. These two people were naturally the World Paragons of this planet.
At that moment, as Qi Bei Shan moved forward and retreated once more, the seven-colored crystal turned into eight colors!
The uproars had already turned into dead silence. All the people watched this scene with dumbfounded gazes. Their faces turned pale, and their breathing seemed to have frozen.
Once the crystal turned into eight colors, Su Ming frowned. His Destiny Art had reached its limit at that moment, and it was difficult for him to continue casting it. With a wave of his hand, he gave up on continuing. The Crimson Python Phoenix beneath him roared and rammed its gigantic head against Qi Bei Shan's body. Without a single sound, Qi Bei Shan's expression did not show the madness and resentment he had before his death. Instead, a strange expression of release appeared on his face. His body gradually scattered and turned into ashes that disappeared from the world.
Su Ming lifted his right hand and seized the air. Before Qi Bei Shan's body could scatter, the eight-colored crystal flew into Su Ming's hand, and he caught it.
At the instant the crystal landed in Su Ming's hand, the color on it shone with a peerless brilliance.
Soul Crystals were formed using a Secret Art, and every single time they were used, they would gain a new color. Qi Bei Shan might have died, but under Su Ming's Destiny's divine ability, the eight-colored crystal that was incredibly rare in the world remained, and it shone with a mesmerizing light in Su Ming's hand.
Yue Hong Bang sucked in a sharp breath. When he looked at Su Ming, deep respect appeared in his eyes. He could not tell what sort of divine ability Su Ming had cast. The scene just now was incredibly bizarre in his eyes, and it overturned everything he knew, making him feel that Su Ming's mysteriousness was monstrous.
The hundreds of people in the area fell silent at that moment. They had more or less managed to tell that Su Ming was in Earth Cultivation Realm when he had opened the door to his cave abode just now. They might have been uncertain, but once they saw Qi Bei Shan's bizarre death, and more importantly, the eight colored crystal that was formed after Qi Bei Shan was manipulated like a puppet by Su Ming, it made it difficult for any of them to underestimate Su Ming. Instead, in the depths of their hearts, Su Ming was a powerful warrior that they absolutely could not provoke.
When they looked towards Su Ming at that moment, wariness appeared on their faces.
This time, they were no longer just wary of the Crimson Python Phoenix, but of Su Ming.
In the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, power was everything. If they wanted to obtain respect and resources, then they had to show power that could intimidate others!
The strong were revered!
"Fellow Daoist, congratulations on establishing your footing in Crimson Flame Planet. You are the first to subdue the Crimson Python Phoenix, bring about a change in the area, easily kill Qi Bei Shan with one Art of Law … and form the eight-colored Soul Crystal!
"I am Tian Lin." A hearty voice came from the sky in the midst of the silence in the area. The middle-aged man from the forest to the west of Crimson Flame Planet, one of the two World Paragons in the planet and a Lord of World Planes, appeared in midair and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming with a smile.
That was a greeting of equal status!
