"You keep saying that I'm an Abyss Builder, but even I don't know of my own origins." Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he spoke in a low voice. At that moment, the collapse of the sealed region had reached its peak. Dust filled the area, and shattered stones fell from the sky. The entire sealed region was rumbling, and most of it had already collapsed.
Besides Su Ming, all the people who had come to this place had died. At that moment, besides the crumbling and crumbling, there was no longer any danger.
Su Ming looked at the Duke of Crimson Flame, at the mighty cultivator of the alien race who had lived for an unknown amount of time. He still remembered how the man had addressed him, and remembered that the man had once said that they came from the same homeland.
"I came from the fifth True World … There is no way that I would be mistaken about your soul. It is a pure presence belonging to the sacred Abyss Builders.
"You are an Abyss Builder, and you are also … a member of the royal family acknowledged by all the other races in the fifth True World under the Abyss Pact made by all the other races!
"The sacred Abyss Builders have an Abyss Pact that is obeyed by all the other races. They are branded with Life and Death Soul Flags, and they are forged with the madness of being unable to die and being reborn … Each of the Abyss Builders has their own Abyssal World. They set up cycles of reincarnation, and they are the only race in the universe … that can resurrect the dead!
"A long, long time ago, I've already forgotten how long it has been, but the home of all the other races, the fifth True World, was invaded by the four Great True Worlds.
"That was a war, a war that wanted to destroy all of us. The galaxy we are in was one of the battlefields in the past … In the end, we lost the war. The Fifth True World collapsed, and the people from the ten thousand races either died or were sealed."
"But the four Great True Worlds also paid a devastating price for it. It was also the first time they came to understand the might of the fifth True World.
"None of the four Great True Worlds were the fifth True World's opponent. Even if two of them worked together, it would still be difficult for them to shake the fifth True World.
"However, the four Great True Worlds working together is no longer a power that the Fifth True World can suppress. This is a war that has been going on for tens of thousands of years. During that war, the Fifth True World was torn apart, and a devastating amount of people from all the races died."
"I know that you have no sense of belonging to this place. After all, you are not an Abyss Builder who lived in that era, but what I do know is that the Abyss Builders were the main target of extermination by the four Great True Worlds during the war in the past. I don't know how you managed to survive, but I am certain that your father, your mother, and your ancestors all died in the war." The Duke of Crimson Flame's voice echoed in the air, and there was an ancient and grave tone to it.
Su Ming was silent. He did not speak. This was the first time he heard about this, but it was just as the man had said. He could not resonate with it. He was himself, and the Fifth True World was the Fifth True World.
After some time, Su Ming asked languidly, "Where is the entrance to the Fifth True World?"
"The Fifth True World is no longer around, so what entrance could there be..? Even if there is, when I was sealed by the four Great True Worlds and fell into deep sleep, the war had not ended, so I don't know." The Duke of Crimson Flame shook his head and looked at Su Ming. Since the sword seal at the top of his skull had disappeared, a large amount of flesh had appeared on his skeletal face.
"Let's not talk about the Fifth True World. It doesn't matter whether you are an Abyss Builder or not. It doesn't matter whether you acknowledge it or not. We can make a deal on our own." The dark light in the Duke of Crimson Flame's eyes gradually brightened.
"It's impossible for me to recover my cultivation base and gather together my moon in Lunar Kalpa Realm in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. There is practically no presence of Plane Kalpa Realm here.
"Yet even so, with my control over laws, my control over my physical body, and my understanding towards laws, unless I run into those in the later stage of World Plane Realm, it won't be difficult for me to kill them.
"And you are only in Earth Cultivation Realm. Even if you use all your methods to kill those in World Plane Realm, you can only fight against those in the initial stage of World Plane Realm. If you run into those in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, you will definitely die!
"That's why I can provide protection for you. I can even attack for you." The Duke of Crimson Flame's eyes sparkled as he spoke languidly.
"How about it? Not only can I attack for you, I can also give you a great serendipity. This sealed region might have collapsed, but it contains the power of my physical body that I have accumulated over the years. This power is useless to me, but it will be incredibly beneficial to you. At the very least, it can make your physical body reach the peak of Heaven Cultivation Realm. In fact, it won't be impossible for your physical body to reach the level of a Lord of World Plane.
"As a deal, I will give you all this, and what you need to give me is very simple. I need a promise from you. When you can create the Abyssal World and set up the Dao of Reincarnation, you must obtain the Surging Indulgers' Soul Sealing Flag and revive the one million Surging Indulgers who died in the war.
"As long as you promise to do this, then I, the Duke of Crimson Flame, will willingly obey the Abyss Pact and help you with all my strength!" The Duke of Crimson Flame's voice buzzed in the air. When it reverberated in the area, Su Ming's heart trembled.
"You don't need to tell me your answer just yet. You are, after all, the first person from my homeland I saw after I woke up. It doesn't matter whether our deal is completed or not, I will still give you that great serendipity first.
"This place is filled with my physical power, but it's already useless to me. My Lunar Kalpa Realm is no longer around. If my Lunar Kalpa Realm doesn't gather together again, then it doesn't matter whether it's my physical body or my cultivation base, I won't be able to train.
"I will … give them all to you. Absorb as much as you can." As the Duke of Crimson Flame spoke, he lifted his right hand swiftly. Immediately, a vortex appeared in the purplish black magma beneath him. As it rotated with a bang, a vast amount of physical power surged towards Su Ming.
An endless amount of fine, blood-red threads also charged towards him from all directions. They surrounded Su Ming's body and filled his entire body.
A focused glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. With one breath, all the pores on his body opened up, and a boundless amount of incredibly thick physical power surged into his body, continuously strengthening his flesh, blood, bones, and all the other parts of his powerful physical body.
A powerful feeling of power that made Su Ming yearn for it swiftly gathered together. Su Ming could clearly sense that with each breath he took, his physical body would become slightly stronger.
This sort of increase in physical power allowed Su Ming to have a clear grasp of the feeling that he was becoming stronger. His heart raced against his chest. Each time it beat, it would be filled with power, and at the same time, it would cause the blood in his body to circulate and fuse with the incoming physical power. When all his blood circulated through his body once and returned to his heart, it would be as if he had completed a complete cycle of cultivation, and he would continue growing stronger.
Su Ming longed to become stronger. He longed to obtain the power to control his own fate, or else he would not have agreed to come to the sealed region with Tian Lin.
"The True Guard has died. The people from the four Great True Worlds might have already noticed it. We can't stay here for long." As booming sounds rang out in Su Ming's head and his body was covered by an endless amount of physical power, the Duke of Crimson Flame's voice reached his ears.
At the same time, the Duke of Crimson Flame formed a seal with his right hand and pushed his palm against the purplish black magma. With it, the collapsed sealed region started trembling with a bang. As the layers of magma solidified, they stopped collapsing like a seal, but instead turned into a gigantic stone.
This rock was the entire sealed region. At that moment, under the effects of the Duke of Crimson Fire's divine ability, the rock formed by the sealed region trembled violently. As it trembled, nine layers of ripples immediately appeared at the edges of the gigantic rock.
These nine layers of ripples turned into nine layers of distortions. Those distortions moved along with the ripples, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire area. Once they filled up the entire spot on the gigantic stone, a loud bang that shook the entire Crimson Flame Planet reverberated in the night sky outside.
At the same time it caused the hearts of countless cultivators to tremble, the ferocious beasts in Crimson Flame Planet to roar, and the stone formed by the sealed region in Crimson Flame Planet … disappeared with a buzz.
It disappeared, and the interior of Crimson Flame Planet became empty.
This disappearance was due to a warp. The Duke of Crimson Flame had used up the last shred of his power in Plane Kalpa Realm to execute a large-scale warp to shift the sealed region … away from Crimson Flame Planet.
There were numerous meteors charging through the endless galaxy. At that moment, nine layers of ripples were trembling and reverberating within one of them. In the blink of an eye, the stone formed by the sealed region that had been shifted away from Crimson Flame Planet appeared within the meteor.
The light in the Duke of Crimson Flame's eyes dimmed at that moment, but he did not immediately rest to recover. Instead, he turned his head around and stared at the bald crane, who had been fiddling with the sealed sword not too long ago, but was now flapping its wings in slight panic when the entire sealed region was shifted.
"Sir, just who are you?"
"Damn you, why didn't you tell me about the shift beforehand? Damn it, you scared me to death. My heart is pounding, you scared me to death. I'm the most afraid of shifts. I'm traumatized. I must have had some sort of trauma in the past." The bald crane's face was stark pale. When it heard the Duke of Crimson Flame's words, it immediately glared at him.
Not too far away from the man and the crane was Su Ming. At that moment, he had his eyes tightly shut in the purplish black magma. The physical power of his body filled the area around him as he continued absorbing it.
His physical body was becoming stronger, and the sounds of his heart pounding against his chest. He was immersed in this state of continuously growing stronger, like a butterfly that had turned out of its cocoon and was preparing for a new life.
At the same time, not long after he shifted away from the sealed region and hid in the meteor, a mighty pressure that shook the sky and earth spread out with a bang in the galaxy beyond Crimson Flame Planet. A large amount of distortions spread out, and after a moment, one ship, two ships, three ships …
A total of thirty-seven gigantic ships of several hundreds of thousands of feet shot through the air. Bolts of lightning in the shape of arcs spread out from these ships, and the pressure spreading out from them caused the entire Crimson Flame Planet to tremble.
There were nearly a thousand people standing on each ship, and there was a large amount of the presence of World Planes spreading out from the front of the ships. In fact, there was a presence that erupted forth with a bang from the longship right in the middle that suppressed all the other World Planes and turned into a gigantic half a sun formed by lightning in the galaxy!
Since it was half a sun, it looked like a moon.
That was … the power of those who were half a step into Solar Kalpa Realm, also known as Lunar Kalpa Realm.
Tomorrow is the last day. The past few days have been too difficult. I hope that all of you will be careful not to catch a cold. There's also mycoplasma and other things. This winter, this disease is very strong. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
