He knew that Su Ming was definitely hiding his level of cultivation. It would have been fine if this had happened during normal times. After all, he knew that besides Su Ming, most of the people who hid their level of cultivation or their methods were the same. It would be difficult for him to say anything about this.
After all, if he revealed all his methods in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, not only would it mean that he no longer had any secrets to hide and everyone would know about him, it would also mean that it would be difficult for him to recover the loss of his cultivation base within a short period of time, and there would be an endless amount of problems in the future.
However, they were in a life and death crisis right then, and Tian Lin could no longer care too much about these things. As he shouted fiercely, the powerful, intimidating power of his Nascent Divinity reverting back to his physical body could be seen.
It was especially so for the people at the back of the tunnel. The piercing whistling sounds were getting closer and clearer with each passing moment. Clearly, the distance between the red threads just now was rapidly shrinking.
Once these endless filaments caught up to them, what awaited them would be a catastrophe.
A black glare appeared in Long Li's eyes. Five diamond-shaped scales immediately appeared at the center of his brows. At the same time they shone with a strange and enchanting light, the gourd he had previously brought out appeared in his right hand.
He lifted his left hand and swiped it over the gourd, then bit the tip of his tongue and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Immediately, five black shadows flew out from the gourd. With a low growl from Long Li, the five black shadows exuded the presence of World Paragons and charged towards the third screen of light.
At that moment, the dwarf Sun Kun's expression was also extremely solemn. He raised his right hand and slapped his forehead. Immediately, his entire body trembled, and his ten fingernails instantly grew to seven inches long. They were incomparably sharp, and as they grew, they sliced through the air. He opened his mouth and roared. Immediately, nine rays of light of different colors shot out from his mouth.
There were blades, spears, swords, halberds, hatchets, hooks, tridents, and a beast fang club. These nine rays of light were nine different Enchanted Treasures, and they exuded extraordinary waves of power and intimidating might. As Sun Kun swung his arms, these nine Enchanted Treasures turned into nine long arcs that charged towards the third screen of light. As for Sun Kun himself, he clenched his fingers into the shape of claws and flew forward with a shrill whistle.
Ye Shen Tong widened his eyes in anger, and golden light erupted from them. That golden light seemed to have gained physical form, and once it spread out from his eyes, it covered his entire face. Once it covered his entire face, it spread to his neck, and in the span of a few breaths, it covered most of his upper body.
All the skin that was covered in gold was emitting a powerful aura that made one's heart palpitate. It was as if it contained a powerful physical strength that could overturn heaven and earth.
Clearly, Ye Shen Tong no longer held anything back during this moment of danger. He brought out his true power, and as a small portion of his body turned golden, the earth under his feet squirmed and charged towards him. As layers of earth gathered together, Ye Shen Tong was covered in earth and turned into a giant made of earth that was nearly one hundred feet tall. Strangely, even though he had turned into a giant made of earth, a small portion of his body still shone with a piercing golden light.
As he roared, Ye Shen Tong took a huge step forward and charged towards the third screen of light with a bang.
When he saw that the three of them had already brought out their full strength, Tian Lin naturally did not hold anything back. A layer of withered skin immediately appeared on his Nascent Divinity, making him look as if he had turned into an old tree. The shadow of a big tree manifested around him, and as its branches started twitching rapidly, a strange light appeared in Tian Lin's eyes. He lifted his hands and pushed forward swiftly. With it, the shadow of the big tree behind him looked as if it wanted to grow from the depths of the ground and rush out of the tunnel. Once it started growing rapidly, it fell to the side.
The countless branches that spread out from the tree crown drilled into the surrounding rock walls. After disappearing for a short while, they suddenly drilled out from the rock wall outside the light curtain. Dozens of densely packed branches that drilled out from the soil and rock walls fiercely stabbed towards the light curtain like venomous snakes.
A grim expression appeared on Su Ming's face. During this dangerous moment, the whistling sounds in the tunnel behind him became even clearer. When he saw that the others had already brought out their full strength, he would naturally not hold back, but he did not choose to use the bald crane's power to break the seal. Instead, he lifted his right hand, and the killing sword appeared.
Su Ming lifted his left hand and pushed it against the ground. His body might have seemed normal, but all his cultivation base had gathered on the killing sword, causing it to let out a piercing, piercing screech and turn into a long arc that charged towards the screen of light.
At the same time, Su Ming's left hand started withering away right before his eyes. In an instant, that withering spread to his shoulder, then his body, his legs, his head, and everything else … Besides his right index finger, all the flesh and blood on his body started rapidly withering away.
However, his right index finger started shining with a black light at that moment. This was the limit of the Surging Indulgers' divine ability. Not only did it contain all of Su Ming's physical power, it also contained an incredibly powerful suction force. It was as if Su Ming's finger had turned into a black hole that could devour everything.
At the same time, the inborn divine ability he had inherited from the Crimson Python Phoenix, the power of law that could disperse all matter, was also on Su Ming's finger. As ripples spread out from his finger, Su Ming's finger crashed against the screen of light along with the others' divine abilities. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The third screen of light might have been ten something feet thick, but under the five people's divine abilities, it flashed a few times before it crumbled. As it did so, a large amount of presence of World Planes gushed out like streams of air that charged into the five people's faces.
In truth, if all the ferocious beasts and Runes were around, the seal would definitely not have been broken so easily. However, it was like a rootless duckweed, and the seal was also in the process of shattering from the inside out, which was why it shattered right before the five people's eyes.
Instead of saying that it had been destroyed by Su Ming and the others, it would be more accurate to say that it had been destroyed from both inside and outside at the same time.
At the same time the screen of light shattered, five long arcs charged forward. However, on the seventh breath after they left, the spot where the screen of light had shattered was immediately swarmed by a dense amount of red threads that chased after them.
The danger did not end. Instead, it became stronger. The five people were not slow in charging forward, but in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the screen of light appeared once again before them. This time, it was several hundreds of feet thick. When the five people attacked it at the same time again, the screen of light only swayed a few times before a rebound spread out from it, causing the five people to be instantly sent tumbling backwards, just like Long Li.
As he looked at the screen of light that was one hundred something feet thick, Tian Lin sucked in a deep breath. A freezing glare shone in Long Li's eyes, and as for Sun Kun, his breathing quickened as he spoke in a shrill voice.
"I don't know how many more of these seals there are, but I'll need at least an hour to break this screen of light!"
Ye Shen Tong stared at the screen of light, then turned his head around to look at the tunnel behind him, then at the group.
"Time is of the essence. I have something to say. I am confident that I can break this screen of light within the span of thirty breaths, but if I cast this Art, I will have to pay a great price. It will be difficult for me to recover within a short period of time. Forget about obtaining a serendipity, if I become weak, there is a high possibility that I will die here!"
When Tian Lin heard Ye Shen Tong's words, he spoke resolutely, "Brother Ye, don't worry. As long as you break this screen of light, I swear that I will definitely protect you."
"Brother Ye, you just need to attack. I will guarantee your safety!" Long Li said in a low voice.
Sun Kun also nodded by the side. As for what these three people were thinking in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces.
"Heh heh, do you all think that I'm a three-year-old? I've made this promise to people no less than ten times in my life, and every single time, even I don't believe in it.
"I can attack, but I will need to devour and absorb most of the physical power from one of you. Only by doing so will I not be affected when I break this screen of light." But don't worry, once I devour your flesh and blood, you won't die. You will only suffer a great loss of your vitality, and you will become weaker in my place. " As Ye Shen Tong spoke, his gaze immediately fell on Su Ming. The unblinking and ferocious look in his eyes were not hidden in the slightest.
At that moment, the whistling sounds in the tunnel became even clearer. The blood-red threads were already not too far away from them.
When Ye Shen Tong looked towards Su Ming, Long Li also cast his gaze on him. It was the same for Sun Kun. Even Tian Lin hesitated for a moment before he looked towards Su Ming.
"Fellow Daoist Su, your level of cultivation is the weakest. Why don't you sacrifice yourself to help us? You might even have a chance to obtain a serendipity. Don't worry, I will only take a nine-tenths of your flesh and blood. I won't endanger your life." Ye Shen Tong grinned. There were scars on his face to begin with, and when he smiled, he looked even more ferocious and ghastly.
"Oh? Looks like you're certain that I'm the weakest among you, "Su Ming said languidly as he looked at Ye Shen Tong.
Ye Shen Tong smiled ferociously. He did not speak, but instead charged towards Su Ming.
In silence, Long Li took a step back. He did not want to get involved in this matter. A glint appeared in Sun Kun's eyes, and he also moved back. Hesitation appeared on Tian Lin's face, but he seemed to have remembered something. He did not stop Su Ming, but neither did he remind Ye Shen Tong that Su Ming had eight-colored crystals in his possession.
Su Ming's expression was calm. Almost at the instant Ye Shen Tong took a step forward, a sun suddenly appeared in his left eye, and a bright moon manifested in his right eye at the same time. His heart was the star, and a strange cycle was formed in his body. At the instant he looked towards Ye Shen Tong, Su Ming swiftly executed the Art he had come to understand from Crimson Flame Planet. It was the Illusion of Star, Sun, and Moon!
Almost at the instant he executed this Art, Ye Shen Tong's expression suddenly changed. At the instant a dazed look appeared in his eyes, Su Ming charged towards Ye Shen Tong. His expression was cold and dark, and not a hint of emotion could be seen within it. In the blink of an eye, he closed in on Ye Shen Tong and hurled his fist forward.
When he did so, Ye Shen Tong coughed up a mouthful of blood. While he had been immersed in the illusion of Su Ming's eyes, he had bitten the tip of his tongue and jolted his heart Qi Paths so that he would wake up. With a furious roar, golden light shone on half of his body, and he hurled his fist towards Su Ming.
Boom!
Blood trickled out of the corners of Su Ming's mouth. He tumbled backwards, but his expression became even more aloof. There was even a faint hint of derision and killing intent in his eyes.
Ye Shen Tong laughed ferociously, but even he did not notice that at the instant Su Ming's fist crashed into him, a black shadow had appeared before disappearing in an instant. In fact, not even Tian Lin and the others had noticed it.
"Brat, I knew that you had other tricks up your sleeves … Hmm?" Just as Ye Shen Tong took a step forward, his expression suddenly changed drastically. A black, festering spot had appeared on his right wrist, as if he had been stung by something! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me.
