At the same time, as the one hundred thousand galaxies rumbled, the cultivators who were taking the test in the ninety-seven galaxies were all shocked, and their bodies were forced out of the galaxy they were in. When they reappeared, they were forcibly teleported to the place where the one hundred thousand stone steles were.
As they appeared at the same time and as shock and disbelief appeared on their faces, all the people in the world with the one hundred thousand stone monuments swiftly looked over.
Ninety-seven people failed at the same time and returned at the same time. Their stone monuments shone at the same time and shrank at the same time … This was something that had never happened in this place over the course of countless years!
"What happened? Why … did all these people appear in an instant?!"
"Ninety-seven stone monuments shrank from nearly one hundred thousand feet to several tens of thousands of feet at the same time. This … Just what is going on?!"
As the buzzing sounds from the other people echoed in the air, the ninety-seven people who had been forced out had pale faces. In silence, they swept their gazes towards each other, and all of them saw the shock and astonishment in each other's eyes.
"That's not right. One of the stone monuments is nearly one million feet. This person … He didn't appear!"
"Hmm?" As that voice spread out, the gazes of all the people in the area, including those of the ninety-seven people, instantly gathered on Su Ming's stone monument.
The buzzing sound instantly turned into a deathly silence. Everyone's eyes reflected the two words engraved on the stone tablet.
Mo Su.
…..
Within the golden venous pathways, Su Ming occupied half of the area that had turned into his face. At that moment, his voice was filled with determination as it reverberated in all directions.
"Most importantly … I don't care if you teased me, but you shouldn't have affected the people around me. I will fight against you, because … I will protect my family. I will protect all the people who are kind to me. I will protect them. This is … the only determination in my life that has supported me and allowed me to walk down this path!
Protect!
This is the only reason why I still have the courage to continue living! "I want to become stronger. I want to make myself the strongest in the universe, because I don't want to see the people who are kind to me cry anymore. I don't want to see them die. I want to protect all of this. They … are the most precious to me. They are my life." An incredibly powerful ripple spread out from Su Ming's soul. This was Su Ming's roar. This was Su Ming's cry. This was his strongest roar towards fate from the bottom of his heart.
Boom!
Besides Su Ming's face, all the faces formed by the black smoke in the one hundred thousand galaxies shot through all obstacles and appeared around the golden trees. Without stopping, they instantly Branded themselves on the trees and shot through the trunks to rush into the golden venous pathways on each tree.
In the blink of an eye, the golden venous pathways in the one hundred thousand Ecang trees let out booming sounds that shook the sky and earth.
"For Dark Mountain, for Elder, I was willing to burn my life back then. I was willing to swallow medicinal herbs to strengthen myself and blast open that door. It was because I cared about the tribe. I wanted to protect it!" Su Ming's voice echoed in the air, and the venous pathways in the one hundred thousand trees were devoured and occupied by the black face.
"I have lived a miserable life. I have walked this path to find Elder. I want to protect him. I want him to smile happily. I want him to see that his little La Su has grown up and can stand in front of him to protect him." The one hundred thousand faces roared and instantly occupied the venous pathways. Finally, half of the one hundred thousand trees and one hundred thousand venous pathways belonged to Su Ming!
"I became the God of Berserkers and shouldered the fate of the Berserkers. Even if I am not a Berserker, my senior brothers are, my Master is, and my friends are. For them, I can give up on my struggles. As long as they … are happy, happy, I can become some God of Berserkers and obtain new glory for the Berserkers."
Once half of the one hundred thousand venous pathways on the one hundred thousand trees were under Su Ming's control, he roared, and the venous pathways on the one hundred thousand trees spread out at the same time!
Ecang's will was struggling madly, wanting to rush out of the seal left behind by the bald crane before it fainted. This was a seal placed by the bald crane by burning its soul. Its might was so great that even Ecang would need to spend some time before it could rush out.
"I came to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence to protect the ninth summit. I don't want them to cry. I don't want my senior brothers to die. I can sacrifice myself. I can lose my emotions and pain. I can come to this unfamiliar place. As long as they are alive, I will be happy.
"This is the determination in my heart. It is my obsession. For this obsession, even if I end up in a sea of blood that surges into the sky, even if my hands are stained with blood, so what?
"I will never give up!" Su Ming's voice echoed in the air. The number of venous pathways on the one hundred thousand trees increased from fifty to fifty-six!
It might have seemed like it had only increased by six-hundredths, but in truth, it was definitely not a simple calculation, because this was not a fifty-six-hundredths increase from one tree, but fifty-six-hundredths from all one hundred thousand trees!
Boom!
The seal left behind by the bald crane before it fainted was broken by Ecang at that moment. As Ecang's will spread out from within, its enraged roars shook the sky and earth in the world of the venous pathways.
"Even if Sui Chen Zi's law protects you, it's impossible for you to successfully Possess me! Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!" Ecang's anger surged into the sky. Over the countless years, there had been plenty of people who wanted to Possess it, but none of them had managed to occupy more than half of its body. In fact, this was not just a simple half, but half of its entire body.
This gave it a great sense of threat. If it was not because it had to fight against Sui Chen Zi's law, which meant that it would have to pay a price that even it could not bear, it would have definitely killed Su Ming immediately. It would not have been able to chase Su Ming out of its body under the law.
"Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!" Ecang's will roared and crashed straight into the mask formed by the venous pathways Su Ming occupied. In fact, this was not just a single place where the will crashed into Su Ming's will. Instead, a will erupted from the one hundred thousand trees and one hundred thousand bodies at the same time.
Booming sounds spread out. Without the bald crane's resistance, Su Ming was the first to bear the brunt. The moment Ecang said the first word to get lost, his soul trembled. It was impossible for him to fight back against Ecang's power. As it suppressed everything, it also turned into a power that could reverse time and swept up Su Ming's soul, pushing him back from the fifty-sixth of the venous pathways to the fifty-third!
The face formed by Su Ming's body turned ferocious. During that instant, his soul erupted completely, and without any hesitation, he chose to burn his soul!
It was just as he had said previously. Unless fate crushed him, then he would trample on fate. It was the same in this place. Unless Ecang could destroy him, then Su Ming would definitely succeed in Possessing it. Even if he died, he had to succeed!
His soul burned, and Su Ming swiftly fought against Ecang's will.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! After several continuous clashes, the area Su Ming occupied shrank from the fifty-third to the forty-fifth, but once it fell back to the forty-fifth, Su Ming burned his soul to its peak. He no longer moved back. Instead, as he continued crashing against Ecang's will, he returned from the forty-fifth back to the forty-sixth, then the forty-seventh, and when he reached the forty-eighth, he could no longer continue, but Ecang could no longer make him move back either.
Intense pain shot through his soul. His soul was rapidly becoming incomplete, and as it burned away, Su Ming's madness was displayed to its fullest.
"Foolish cultivator. Did you think you can possess me just by burning your soul? I don't even need to continue suppressing you. All I need to do is stop your soul from spreading. It won't take long for you to burn your soul and die.
"Foolish life, you're definitely going to lose! You're definitely going to die!" When Ecang's voice echoed in the air, most of Su Ming's soul had already been burned. However, the faces formed by the venous pathways he occupied had a bizarre smile on them at that instant.
The one hundred thousand faces smiled at the same time, stunning Ecang.
At that moment, Su Ming's voice traveled through the one hundred thousand galaxies and one hundred thousand Ecang trees at the same time.
"Ancient existence in Yin Death Region, I know that you can hear my voice. In fact, all my actions since I came to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence have been under your surveillance. You've also seen what I'm doing right now.
"Either you help me fight against Ecang's will, and if I succeed, I will obtain this serendipity and help you find your king!
"If you don't help me, then it's fine if my soul dies, but it's impossible for you to find someone like me in Yin Death Region to help you find your king!" As Su Ming's voice echoed in the air, an enraged roar came from the depths of Yin Death Vortex in True Morning Dao World, which was located incredibly far away from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.
Su Ming's soul was still burning, but after the span of three breaths, an incredibly ancient presence suddenly appeared in his soul. There was not just one presence, but four of them.
At the instant they appeared, they spread out from Su Ming's soul and formed an illusory black mask. That mask was the seal that had been Branded on Su Ming.
At the instant the four presences spread out, four suns appeared beside them. These four suns were green, red, blue, and white, and exuded an ancient air. They surrounded the mask and spun rapidly before charging towards Ecang's will with a bang.
"Damn it, just what else do you have on you?! That traitor, thieving crane, and you even have the protection of the divine thoughts of four half-step Masters of Fate?!" After being momentarily stunned, Ecang let out an enraged roar and swept forward with its will.
"Abyss Builders, remember this … you have to help us find our king. We are the Whirlpool Yin Tribe, Great Gangue Tribe, and Yunni Tribe from the fifth True World!
"If you don't keep to your promise, then we will definitely destroy the entire Berserker race!" The four divine thoughts surrounded the mask and spread out in all directions.
"Enough with the nonsense. Why aren't you attacking?!" Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. They did not have a choice. Forcing them to attack was part of Su Ming's plan to Possess Ecang. Su Ming had been thinking about it for four hundred something years, and he had already calculated all the possible changes. Even if these people refused, he still had a way to force them to attack.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! At the instant both sides crashed into each other, another person went to help Su Ming fight against Ecang. As Su Ming's soul burned, an indescribable speed erupted forth from it. As it spread out, the venous pathways in the one hundred thousand trees in the one hundred thousand galaxies started spreading out from forty-eight.
Forty-nine, fifty-one, fifty-three, fifty-five … until it reached sixty!
It still continued. Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-five, sixty-seven …
Booming sounds reverberated in the air, and the mask that represented the four great divine thoughts of Yin Death Region shattered to pieces. The four suns around it also turned into an endless amount of crystalline sparks that scattered away.
As the mask shattered and the four divine thoughts disappeared, Yin Death Region's ancient will's control over Su Ming was completely lost!
This meant that Su Ming had taken a huge step forward in his path of fighting against fate. He had successfully broken free of the restrictions placed on him by Yin Death Region, and he had … successfully turned the tables!
From then on, he no longer needed to be sealed by Yin Death Region. He had obtained his complete self … and the existences in Yin Death Region did not dare to do anything to the Berserkers, because they still needed Su Ming to help them find the kings of their three races!
"Damn you cultivator, I'd like to see just what else you have besides the traitor crane and these four divine thoughts protecting you. Even if you occupy more areas, it's useless. Your soul is about to be completely burned. You're about to die! I'd like to see just what other tricks you have up your sleeves!" Ecang roared furiously. Once it crushed the mask and the four divine thoughts, it swept towards Su Ming once again.
At the instant its divine thoughts charged towards him with loud booming sounds, Su Ming, who had occupied sixty-nine-hundredths of all the venous pathways in the one hundred thousand trees, had that bizarre smile appear on his face once again.
"Possessing you is the greatest serendipity I've ever had in my memories!" Around seven-tenths of Su Ming's soul had already been burned. As he smiled, madness appeared in his eyes as he mumbled.
"But Possessing you isn't the most important thing in my life!" The madness in Su Ming's eyes grew stronger, as if flames had been lit in his eyes.
"Possessing you is just a process. What I want is to use your power during this process to completely break free from other people's control and become my true self. The existence in Yin Death Region is just one of them, and …
"Di Tian!
"Di Tian, I originally thought that I had already broken free from your control and walked out of your plans, but then … I saw all the faces on Ecang's numerous branches, but … I didn't see you!
"At that moment, I knew that you're still controlling me. Your plan hasn't failed at all. In fact, everything about me is still a part of your plan!
"Ecang has manifested all the faces, but you're not there, just like how I'm not there! "I can't see myself, and neither can I see you. Then does that mean that you used some sort of method to make you become me, and I become you? Did you make our souls fuse together in a certain sense?!
"I don't know what your plan is, but based on all sorts of clues over the years, I can vaguely guess … that you want my life!
"It's not my life, but my life as an Abyss Builder!
"If that's the case, then either you die with me, or … get out of my soul!" This was all the crazed thoughts that had sprouted in Su Ming's mind after his first failure hundreds of years ago.
Possessing Di Tian was nothing. It was just a serendipity. Breaking free from the control of fate was the most important thing for Su Ming. Perhaps he was wrong. He had no confidence in whether Di Tian had fused with his soul in some way.
However … if Hong Luo and the three powerful warriors in Solar Kalpa Realm could be found in his soul, then there was also a possibility … that Di Tian was in his soul!
The more he could not figure out this sort of control, the more difficult it would be for him to break free. He could only … use his life as a bet and take a bold gamble, doing what a normal person could not do.
"Di Tian, are you going to get lost or not?!" Su Ming roared, and the one hundred thousand faces in the one hundred thousand trees and one hundred thousand galaxies roared together.
There were four thousand words in this chapter. I was missing a thousand words yesterday, and I've immediately added them today. Are you still going to say that I'm not being kind …?
But I do have to be kind. It's the new year, and I'll first wish all of you a happy new year. Then … from tomorrow until the fifth day, I'll only be able to write one chapter every day.
Besides, I shouldn't have added any more chapters. I've been writing about Seeking Demons for a year, and I wanted to spend time with my family during the new year while also straightening out my thoughts. Seeking Demons has reached a critical moment, and I want all of you to have a good time reading it. I'll use this time to think about the later parts of the plot.
I'll bend my back, wrap my fist in my palm, and ask everyone not to hit me or scold me … I'll also extend my hand and ask for a red envelope filled with love ~ This sounds a little mushy, huh? Don't get goosebumps, just put them in the red envelope and give them to me.
Haha, I'll stop talking. I wish all of you a happy new year and a happy life. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
