To anyone, this was definitely an extremely crazy idea!
It had been brewing in Su Ming's mind for more than sixty years, and at this moment, he had finally put it into action. Whether he would succeed this time was not the main point. The main point was that he had to try. Only by doing so would he have a chance of success.
Su Ming also had to verify some other things before he could perfect this crazy idea of his to a greater degree.
'Possession … When I first Possessed it, my body was crushed by the Crimson Python Phoenix. Once my soul was sucked into its mouth, I naturally succeeded in Possessing it.
'But the Crimson Python Phoenix is just a low-grade ferocious beast. It can't compare to this golden tree. This tree's body alone occupies most of the cultivation planet, and its mighty pressure is so great that it's terrifying.
If I don't have the power of Divine Essence, then it'll be incredibly difficult for anyone else to get through the golden ocean.
'Can I succeed? 'Determination appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He looked at the cultivation planet in the distance and charged swiftly through the golden ocean.
He did not know whether he could succeed, but unless he was willing to be trapped in this place for twenty thousand something years and had all sorts of accidents happen … then he could only choose this path.
'This tree is incredibly powerful, but … I must succeed. If I Possess this tree, then my life will change. My fate will shake the heavens, and everything about me … will change at the instant I succeed! ' Su Ming's heart pounded against his chest. This powerful feeling caused his blood to flow even faster, and it also turned into a powerful desire.
Instead of saying that this Possession was because Su Ming did not want to be trapped for twenty thousand something years again and did not want to face all sorts of accidents, it would be more accurate to say that this was a complete rebellion against fate, and it was also the greatest serendipity Su Ming had ever received since he could remember, something he was incredibly certain about in the depths of his heart!
This serendipity could not be described with words … but the difficulty of it would also be incredibly terrifying. This was something Su Ming knew very well.
The determination in his eyes grew stronger, and he became faster. As whistling sounds echoed in the air, he sliced through the golden ocean like a shooting star.
The mighty pressure descended, and the overlapping shadows of the runic symbols shone in Su Ming's right eye. Immediately, three thousand runic symbols appeared and turned into a runic symbol windstorm around him. Booming sounds spread out, and the runic symbol windstorm swept up Su Ming at an even faster speed. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the cultivation planet in front of him was only ten million feet away from him.
At that moment, there were only seven of the three thousand runic symbols left. However, during that instant, Su Ming's right eye shone again, and another two thousand runic symbols appeared. After going through the golden ocean three times, Su Ming was much more relaxed compared to the first time. When the two thousand runic symbols appeared, the windstorm stirred up again, and Su Ming circulated his cultivation base at full force.
Boom!
As his speed increased exponentially, he shot forward, and his speed increased with each passing moment. The runic symbol windstorm around him was destroyed once again, and when there were only a few dozens of them left, Su Ming stepped onto the cultivation planet.
A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. This time, he had used up nearly five thousand runic symbols and finally stepped out of the highest layer of wind in the planet. He remembered clearly that when he was last here, there were only five runic symbols left, and now … there were already several dozens of the gigantic runic symbols around him. This was enough to tell that he had become much stronger, and there were still two thousand runic symbols left in his right eye.
Without any hesitation, Su Ming moved swiftly, and with the dozens of gigantic runic symbols, he stepped into the highest layer of wind in the planet. The wind was as strong as blades, and as the runic symbols shattered one by one, Su Ming's body reached its limit. When he saw that his flesh and blood were about to be torn apart, the runic symbols in his right eye shone once again.
All two thousand runic symbols appeared and surrounded Su Ming, turning into a windstorm that swept him up and charged forward. Booming sounds continuously reverberated in the air. After a moment, when Su Ming rushed out of the highest layer of wind, there were still quite a number of runic symbols around him, and his body had not suffered too many injuries. He might not be at his peak at that moment, but he was in a much better condition compared to the previous times.
Boom!
Su Ming rushed out of the highest layer of wind and stood in the sky of the cultivation planet. The sky was golden, and so was the ground. An incomparably huge golden tree that was the size of most of the cultivation planet stood erect between the sky and earth. Compared to that tree, Su Ming's body was as insignificant as an ant.
The figures in Su Ming's memories were like buds on the tree trunk. These figures were smiling at him at that moment. Their smiles were amiable and warm, as if they were summoning Su Ming to come to them.
At that moment, a branch without buds whipped towards Su Ming from the distance. The sound of it slicing through the air was piercing to the ears, causing all those who heard it to be unable to help their hearts tremble. Su Ming was familiar with this scene. The previous few times he had been struck by this branch, he had failed the test due to the reversal of time.
This time, Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He sucked in a deep breath, and as the runic symbols on his body spread out with a bang, they crashed into the incoming branch in an instant.
As booming sounds reverberated in the air, all the runic symbols on Su Ming's body shattered. They were so weak that they did not even have the strength to fight back before the branch. And this was just one of the countless branches on the tree, which was a telling sign of just how strong the tree was.
As the runic symbols shattered, the branch closed in and touched Su Ming's body. At the instant it did so, Su Ming's body was reduced to a bloody mess, and he tumbled backwards. The reversal of time descended on him once again.
Yet at that instant, when the reversal of time closed in and the branch touched Su Ming's body, Su Ming's soul left his body for the first time. He allowed his clone to tumble backwards, and like an invisible ball of air, his soul pounced on the branch.
The power of time did not just descend on Su Ming's clone. His soul was also affected by the reversal of time, but Su Ming was an Abyss Builder, and he also had an inborn ability to control time. Almost at the same time the reversal of time interfered with his soul, a power that also belonged to the reversal of time erupted from his soul. At the instant it fought against the power, Su Ming's soul finally touched the branch.
He fused into the branch in a frenzy, and he saw a golden world. That world was indistinct, but there were countless venous pathways within it. At the center of those countless venous pathways … was a golden heart!
That heart did not beat, as if it was dead. It was surrounded by the golden venous pathways, and a thick aura of death spread out from it. There was an ancient air of decay within that aura of death, and it was unknown just how many years had passed since it had settled down.
'Hurry up! Hurry up!' Su Ming roared in his heart. His soul swiftly spread through the branch. He could sense that a small portion of the countless venous pathways had already been covered by his soul. He had a vague feeling that when his soul covered all the venous pathways, he would be able to successfully Possess the body.
However, this was still a Possession, and he would definitely run into resistance. The faster he succeeded, the better.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven breaths went by. Su Ming's soul had only spread through a small portion of the venous pathways. At that moment, an enraged roar came from the tree.
Once it did so, the tree in the cultivation planet immediately started trembling. In fact, a loud boom that shook the sky and earth erupted from the cultivation planet at that instant.
Soon after, Su Ming could see the venous pathways shone with a golden light and started distorting. Not only did they cover the golden heart even more tightly, they also vaguely formed a golden runic symbol.
That runic symbol shone.
Su Ming only sensed an indescribably great power that was strong enough to kill him charging towards him with a loud bang from the runic symbol.
There was also a will that was filled with extreme anger and even a hint of fear.
"Die! Die! Die!" That will was incredibly strong. With a loud bang, it landed on Su Ming's body and turned into crazed killing intent. Just as it was about to destroy Su Ming's soul, that power suddenly turned into a power that could reverse time.
It was as if there was a law that was controlling all of this, forcefully turning this power that could kill Su Ming into time reversal, bringing Su Ming's soul to instantly leave the tree's body. As it retreated, it caught up to his body and fused back into it.
"Damn you, Sui Chen Zi! Even if you die, are you going to stop me with your law?! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him! He's a threat! He's the 3742nd Possessor, but he's also the only one who can make me feel threatened!"
This was the last voice Su Ming heard. Once his soul fused into his body, booming sounds rang in his ears. When everything quietened down and he opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to the land with the one hundred thousand stone monuments. The stone monument before him had become twenty-four thousand feet tall.
"I failed …" Su Ming mumbled softly, but soon after, a dark light shone in his eyes.
'But I still succeeded!' Su Ming lifted his head and glared at his stone monument.
'I can use all sorts of methods, and I was also allowed to Possess the golden tree. Even if the golden tree wanted to kill me in the end, it was stopped by Sui Chen Zi's law. It couldn't harm me in the slightest, and it only made me return to this place through the reversal of time.
'If that's the case, then the law Sui Chen Zi set in this place before he died is the highest will in this world. Even the golden tree is restricted by this will. It can't kill me, so it gave me … an endless number of chances to Possess it!'
Su Ming's eyes sparkled. He might have failed, but if he had succeeded so easily, then it would have been incredibly strange. After failing once and obtaining these proofs and answers, Su Ming became incredibly confident.
'I will definitely Possess the golden tree and pave the path for me to become a Divine Essence in the future … to become … a Sublime Paragon!' Great confidence appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He sucked in a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
'Before me, there were 3,741 people who tried to Possess the golden tree, but … none of them should have succeeded, because the method they used to Possess was different from mine. Possessing someone and turning them into clones is the Abyss Builders' inborn ability!
'The tree only noticed my Possession after the span of seven breaths. This might be due to its previous negligence, but there's also a possibility that it happened at a specific time. I need to try a few more times before I can be certain!'
Without his knowledge, making his stone monument reach one million feet was no longer Su Ming's main focus. His goal had now become Possessing the golden tree.
This failure made Su Ming even more determined to Possess the tree. If he did not succeed, he would not give up. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
