"The Art of the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole has nine stages of saturation, nine disasters, and you can ascend to the sky and become a saint.
"There are also nine divine abilities that can be executed with this Art. The first of these nine divine abilities is known as Earthen Script.
"Cultivate the script of the earth, and this is … the tomb!
"Once you reach the first saturation, you can execute this Art. Once you go through the disasters, turn the earth into earth, and cultivate the script of the earth into a tomb." Su Ming stood at the core of the ocean of wind. The eye of the typhoon was several thousands of feet behind him.
As he stood there, he lifted his head and looked at the nine long arcs coming towards him from the sky. The divine abilities he could execute with the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole appeared in his head.
"I've already reached the first saturation, and I should be able to execute … the Art of Earthen Script." A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes. In truth, he had already made detailed preparations for executing the Art of Earthen Script a long time ago.
He only needed to wait for his body to reach the first saturation before he could execute it.
At that moment, violent tremors traveled through the ocean of wind. As the nine long swords stabbed into the ground, the ground shattered with a bang. Even the rotating violent gust of wind fell backwards. As for the whirlwind formed by the human heads Su Ming had formed in the sky, once one of the ancient swords pierced through it, it shattered and scattered in all directions.
Once the ground trembled nine times, besides the depths of the core of the ocean of wind, all the other parts of the ocean of wind crashed into each other and disappeared without a trace.
As the ocean of wind disappeared, besides the depths of the core, the other parts of the ocean of wind became empty. There was no longer anything obstructing their vision, and their divine senses could spread out. What caused the hearts of all the cultivators in the area to tremble and stop moving to put on respectful and submissive expressions were the nine ancient swords that had stabbed into the ground around the core of the ocean of wind.
The nine ancient swords seemed to have surrounded the core of the ocean of wind, forming a ring.
"True Guards …" The cultivators in the area fell silent, and complicated looks were hidden in their eyes.
Boom!
Nine consecutive bangs rang out at the same time. A large amount of cracks appeared on the nine ancient swords, and they shattered into countless shards to reveal the nine people meditating within them.
The nine people stood up at the same time the ancient swords shattered. As they did so, the shards of the ancient swords gathered together, and as cracking sounds reverberated in the air, they turned into nine sets of armor around the nine people.
The bronze-colored battle armor on these nine people flickered with a demonic light. There were also a large number of runes on the battle armor, filled with a mysterious aura.
There were men and women among these nine people. The oldest was an old man, and the youngest was a young man. They all had cold expressions and loathing in their eyes.
"The True Guards are arresting criminals. Wait in the surroundings and don't leave." When an old man with crimson hair spoke languidly, the mighty pressure of someone in the middle stage of World Plane Realm spread out. As his voice reverberated in the air, it turned into a powerful, mighty pressure. With his status as a True Guard, it caused the World Paragons in the area to lower their heads in silence.
In the face of the powerful forces of power from the True World keeping a lookout over the barren lands of Divine Essence, the Sinners did not dare to fight back.
When the old True Guard saw how obedient the people around him were, he seemed to be used to it. He turned around and charged into the core of the sea of wind. The other eight people also disappeared into the sea of wind.
"Based on Reverend Yin Sacred's will, since this person first appeared in Western Ring Nebula and Crimson Flame Planet is part of Western Ring Nebula, the True Guards from True Sacred Yin World are keeping a lookout over Western Ring Nebula, then we don't have to care about the Radix Planet's orders. If … we can capture this person alive, it would be best!
"He has a secret on him that the Reverend needs to obtain. Of course, if we can't capture him alive, then since the Reverend won't be able to obtain that secret, we can't let the other three True Worlds obtain it either. We can only kill him.
"As for the bounty on his head, if the Reverend hadn't suppressed it, he wouldn't have used just a few World Stones as bait, and he wouldn't have only tempted those in the initial stage of World Plane Realm among the sinners. All of this is because the Reverend is worried that this person will be killed prematurely and create a chance for us.
"Our priority in this battle is to capture him alive!"
At the instant the nine people stepped into the sea of wind, they immediately sent messages to each other. They might be True Guards, but they were still from True Sacred Yin World, which was why they would first obey True Sacred Yin World's orders.
At the instant the nine True Guards charged into the sea of wind, killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes as he stood at the center of the ocean of wind. He sucked in a deep breath, then once he sat down cross-legged, he formed a seal with his hands, placed them on his knees, and closed his eyes.
"We can draw in the net now. True Guards in the middle stage of World Plane Realm … Duke of Crimson Flame, if I can devour one person, will I be able to break through the first saturation and move into World Plane Realm with my physical body?
"If you can execute the complete Earthen Script Art, then you will have a three-tenths of a chance to kill a powerful warrior in the middle stage of World Plane Realm. But right now, you're just at the saturation point. You haven't gone through the disaster, so you can only execute the Earthen Script Art. You won't be able to devour them.
"I want to try. If I succeed, then it'll be for the best. If I fail, then detonate the essence formed by the great cultivators sealed in this planet and shift me to the eye of the typhoon. You won't be able to devour them."
"Alright, I've already made my preparations. I can detonate the essence sealed in this planet at any moment." As the Duke of Crimson Flame's calm voice echoed in Su Ming's mind, he lifted his hands slowly.
At the instant he lifted his hands, there was no longer any wind in the area beyond the core of the ocean of wind. The nine remaining shards Su Ming had left behind in the empty land instantly erupted with a piercing light.
Besides these nine spots, there were four other spots in the darkness at the core of the ocean of wind. Those shards were also shining with a dazzling light at that moment.
As Su Ming lifted his right hand higher than his left, he formed a seal and pushed his palm against the ground. Immediately, the ground in the ocean of wind let out a bang, and the nine shards let out a piercing buzz before turning into nine long arcs that charged towards the core of the ocean of wind.
The buzzing and howling from the nine shards immediately caught the attention of the cultivators outside. When they looked over, they saw the nine long arcs charging forward and charging into the ocean of wind in the blink of an eye.
"That's …"
"Each of those spots is where a World Paragon died. Could it be that Mo Su prepared them beforehand?"
"This is definitely some sort of divine ability."
None of the people alerted the True Guards. Once they noticed it, their eyes sparkled, and they focused their attention on the ocean of wind.
At the instant the nine shards turned into long arcs and rushed into the ocean of wind, the four shards in the ocean of wind also rose up with a loud whistle. Because of that, thirteen shards charged towards the place where Su Ming was from all directions.
At that moment, the nine True Guards around Su Ming were traveling at an incredibly fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they were already not too far away from him. Nine waves of mighty pressure spread out at the same time, forming an Art that was similar to a cage that went to suppress Su Ming with loud booming sounds.
They could see Su Ming sitting cross-legged. His eyes flew open at that instant. When he sensed the nine people closing in on him, he lifted his left hand and pressed it against the center of his brows.
At that moment, Su Ming had his right hand pressed against the ground and his left hand pressed against the center of his brows. The light in his eyes was rapidly fading away, and even the ripples of his life force had practically stopped. It was as if he was swiftly dying.
As Su Ming did this, the thirteen shards charging towards him in the ocean of wind became even faster, and their light became even more dazzling. However, the nine True Guards had already closed in on Su Ming. As each of them formed a seal with their hands, nine rays of light of different colors erupted from their bodies.
The nine rays of light intertwined with each other in midair, as if they were weaving a web. They turned into a huge nine-colored net that swiftly closed in on Su Ming. By the looks of it, they wanted to trap him within.
"You can't escape!" A cold harrumph came from one of the nine people. With a bang, the net was already less than two hundred feet away from Su Ming. The wind in the area disappeared once it touched the net. In fact, wherever the net went, the air would shatter, as if it had been torn apart by force.
When he saw that the net was about to fall on him, veins popped up on Su Ming's face, and he lifted his head swiftly.
"Earthen Script!"
At the instant Su Ming shouted those two words, his body immediately shattered, but he did not turn into shards. Instead, like the particles of earth, he shuddered and looked as if he had turned into a stone statue. Once he shattered, he turned into earth, and with his body swept up, he rushed towards the old man who was the closest to Su Ming among the nine people.
At the same time, the thirteen shards whistled through the air and charged at the old man at an extremely fast speed.
"You overestimate yourself. I'll hold him back. All of you, control the seal net and capture this person alive!" The old man let out a cold harrumph, and the power of World Planes in his body erupted with a bang.
A faint golden wave of impact swept outwards from the old man as the power of World Planes erupted. In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of ten thousand feet.
Within that area, the air, all living beings, and everything else turned a faint golden color. This sort of control over the power of World Planes was the sign of those who had stepped into the middle stage of World Plane Realm. The laws of the world and all the essences of Essence were forcefully chased away in that area of ten thousand feet. The only thing left behind was … the old man's Words!
"In my Void Space, if I say you will be injured, then you will definitely be injured!" The old man swung his arm and lifted his right hand to point at Su Ming, who had turned into earth and was charging towards him.
"Injure! Injure! Injure!"
A large area of the dirt Su Ming had turned into instantly shattered. In the blink of an eye, half of it disappeared, and the remaining half turned into a face in midair. That face belonged to Su Ming, and there was weakness on his face, along with madness.
"Earthen Script!" Su Ming roared. His speed swiftly increased by several fold, and the thirteen shards that were charging towards him shot through the faint golden region. In the blink of an eye, they appeared behind the old man.
"Hmm?" This sudden scene caused the old man's pupils to shrink. It was difficult for his World Plane Realm to stop Su Ming's transformation, but before he could execute his divine ability again …
Boom, boom, boom!
Several consecutive booms reverberated in the sky and earth. The earth that was Su Ming covered the old man's entire body and turned into a bump … that looked like a grave!
The thirteen shards shot through the air and entered the grave. As they swiftly gathered together, they formed … a tombstone!
A picture was swiftly being drawn on that tombstone. There was a person drawn on that picture, and that person had the appearance of the old True Guard.
