This was Ecang, which had just been born!
Su Ming looked at Ecang, which had been born through Sui Chen Zi's death and the destruction of his body as well as Sui Chen Zi's universe, as if it had absorbed a sufficient amount of nourishment. He looked at its ten colors, its endless light, and its indescribably mighty and mighty appearance. At that instant, Su Ming felt as if he had stopped thinking.
He had originally thought that Ecang had an incredibly great background, but he still did not expect that its origins would be much more mysterious than he had imagined.
"I'm Possessing … such a powerful living being …" Su Ming mumbled. If he had known that Ecang was so unimaginable, he did not know whether he would have had the willpower to choose to Possess it.
Fortunately … what he Possessed was not the complete Ecang. It was only one tenth of it, and by the looks of it, it was also heavily injured. Otherwise, Su Ming believed that even if it was just one tenth of the complete Ecang, he would definitely not have been able to successfully Possess it.
'But it's already so strong that it's unimaginable. Just who could injure it so badly that the complete Ecang would be torn apart..? 'In the midst of Su Ming's shock, a question immediately rose in his heart.
At the instant this question appeared in his mind, Su Ming … saw the answer.
He saw Ecang, which was letting out a voice that sounded like it was just born, growing several hundreds of times larger in an instant. When he looked over, he could not see its end. It was as if half of the entire space had been occupied by it.
Yet suddenly, an ancient voice that Su Ming was familiar with came from within the Ecang tree's body.
"With one thought, the universe, with one thought, the Dao of Heaven, with one thought, all manner of living, all manner of things …"
That voice belonged to Sui Chen Zi, whose body had already been destroyed and only his heart was left. His voice shot through the Ecang tree and reverberated in space. There was a sense of carefreeness and determination in his voice, and it did not disappear even after a long time had passed.
At the same time, Ecang's gigantic body started trembling viciously. As the ten-colored light shone brilliantly, its body could no longer continue growing. Pained cries that sounded like the cries of a baby came from the Ecang tree.
Perhaps before long, it would be able to grow into an incredibly terrifying existence once it devoured Sui Chen Zi's Divine Essence … but it had just been born. It might be complete, but it was like a baby and had yet to fully grow. Its shrill screams spread through the area and fell into Su Ming's ears. This scene caused his breathing to quicken.
"Before, I couldn't kill you. All I could do was let you live in my soul, and let you destroy me …. I knew that you would be born the moment I died. I might not be able to kill you, but … the moment you were born, you became me, and I became you. I won't walk the same path as my eight friends. Instead, I will use a hundred thousand years of preparation to seriously injure you!
With a single thought … a million lives! " When Sui Chen Zi's voice reached the end, it suddenly grew stronger. As his voice echoed in the air, Ecang's pained roars became even more intense. Countless cracks also appeared on its body at that instant. It collapsed from the inside with a loud bang.
Transformed into … a million copies! The golden heart formed by Sui Chen Zi's Divine Essence turned into one million copies as well. During that instant, it turned into one million hearts.
At the same time, Ecang, which had been shattered into one million pieces, had one hundred thousand pieces of each color. At that moment, as it shattered, it was suppressed and sealed by the one million golden hearts. A loud bang that shook the entire space reverberated in the air. The foreign land was still the foreign land, but the one million pieces of Ecang fell backwards and were swept into the foreign land before disappearing without a trace.
"I failed, that's why I died … but I also succeeded. I left behind … a chance for my descendants to break through the disaster of Divine Essence. If my descendants can obtain my Divine Essence, then remember this …" When Sui Chen Zi's voice gradually faded away, Su Ming was shocked by what he saw.
However, the truth that he saw did not disappear. Instead, a new change occurred.
Su Ming saw time flowing by. After an unknown number of cycles of sixty years passed, a faint roar came from the foreign land. That roar was filled with an unwillingness to admit defeat and madness, along with a monstrous hate.
"Sui Chen Zi, you old coot, you still can't kill me, and neither can you suppress me forever. I've already been born, and my Life is already in this universe. It is destined that I will walk out of your seal!
"Even if you split my body into ten parts and gave birth to ten wills, there will come a day … when my ten wills will fuse together once again. At that time … I, Ecang, will appear in the world!
"Even if you managed to injure me gravely, your Divine Essence is still around. Since you set the rule for your descendants to obtain your Divine Essence before you died, then I can also use this to turn this place into the source for Ecang's recovery!
"The more people come to this place to obtain your Divine Essence, the more they will help me heal. All their epiphanies, all their cultivation bases, and all their lives will belong to me!"
As his voice echoed in the air, everything before Su Ming's eyes disappeared. He woke up from the picture in his soul. His soul had covered all the golden venous pathways, and at that moment, it had fused into the golden heart in the one hundred thousand galaxies.
His Possession had increased from ninety-five hundredths to ninety-seven hundredths.
'So … this is the truth. ' Su Ming remembered Zhou Kang saying that his wife had once guessed that this place was a scam. By the looks of it now, this scam was not set up by Sui Chen Zi, but had been used by Ecang to turn this place into its current state.
'It doesn't matter what the truth is. It doesn't matter whether this place is a scam or not. What's important is … I've Possessed ninety-seven. My Ecang clone is about to succeed. ' Su Ming's soul spread out furiously and fused into the golden heart. With the one hundred thousand shadows formed by Sui Chen Zi's rule blocking Ecang's will, Su Ming's progress was incredibly smooth.
When Su Ming's Possession reached ninety-eight hundredths from the previous ninety-seven, Ecang went completely mad. Its will let out a hysterical roar, and a wave of despair and madness appeared within it.
"You forced me to do this. You forced me to do all of this. I will absolutely not let you succeed in Possessing me. Even if I lose the chance to devour the nine of them because of this, even if I will completely lose my will and only have a portion of my soul left that can be devoured by the nine of them at will, I will absolutely … not let you Possess my noble Ecang body!" Ecang laughed madly. There was determination in that laughter, along with the will to die together with Su Ming.
"Great Ecang Art!" At the instant Ecang said those words, shrill screams of pain immediately came from the near one hundred thousand people in the world with the one hundred thousand stone monuments.
As the screams of pain reverberated in the air, the people in the area looked over in shock. They saw a middle-aged man's body rapidly rotting away. Spots of purple light spread out from his body, and they were swiftly absorbed by his stone monument. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged cultivator's body disappeared, and not a single trace of him remained.
Soon after, screams of pain rang out once again. As they rose and fell, nearly ten thousand people screamed shrilly in pain. Their bodies were rapidly disappearing, and they were all absorbed by their stone monuments.
At that moment, after absorbing the flesh, blood, life, and everything else from nearly ten thousand people, large amounts of cracks appeared on the stone steles. Cracking sounds could be heard, and nearly ten thousand stone steles shattered into pieces. Violet Qi spread out from within them, and as the shattered stone steles shot through the air, they disappeared from the land of one hundred thousand stone steles. From now on, there would only ever be ninety thousand stone steles!
At the same time, Ecang's will increased exponentially. Wisps of purple smoke appeared out of nowhere from all directions. There were nearly ten thousand wisps of that purple smoke, and it was the same number as the cultivators who had the aura of death.
As that purple smoke swiftly gathered together, it turned into a gigantic purple tree. That tree was naturally Ecang's soul.
"E … Cang …" At the instant its soul appeared, the purple tree let out a low roar. At the instant it uttered the word 'E', the one hundred thousand shadows formed by the laws shuddered simultaneously and instantly stopped moving.
When the word 'Cang' spread out, without the one hundred thousand shadows resisting it, Su Ming's soul, which was currently Possessing the golden heart in the one hundred thousand venous pathways, immediately suffered a powerful impact.
'I sacrificed an incredibly great price in exchange for the laws to stop. This price is that from now on, I will no longer be able to recover. I can only watch as the nine of them continue recovering and wait for one of them to wake up and devour me …
'I've sacrificed so much, and if I still can't kill you, then I won't be able to accept this! ' Ecang's will rushed towards Su Ming in a frenzy. At the instant it crashed into his soul, Su Ming executed the final part of his plan, which he had prepared for hundreds of years for this Possession, without any hesitation.
"Black fragment!" Su Ming's soul let out a low growl.
The black fragment had been with Su Ming in Yin Death Region, had hidden itself in his soul, and had followed him to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. At that moment, as Su Ming summoned it, it gathered in his soul.
There was something strange about this item. Even if Su Ming's soul had been burnt to a crisp, it still existed in his soul. At that moment, when it gathered together, it immediately turned into its original form, an inconspicuous black fragment!
'Deceive it! ' At the instant the black fragment appeared, it was also the instant Ecang's will appeared. As booming sounds reverberated in the air, the one hundred thousand golden venous pathways in the one hundred thousand trees in the one hundred thousand galaxies had originally only one hundred thousand golden hearts, but at that moment, their numbers increased exponentially by a thousand times. One thousand golden hearts appeared in each of the one hundred thousand golden venous pathways, and when they were added together, it meant that there were more than one hundred million hearts made of the aura of death in the one hundred thousand golden venous pathways.
Among these one hundred million hearts, only one hundred thousand were real. The rest were all fake, but when it came to the feeling, these hearts were exactly the same. There was not a hint of difference between them. This was the strange power that the black fragment was most skilled in. It could deceive all manner of lives.
Su Ming did not know how long he could deceive Ecang with this treasure, which was why he did not dare to use it previously. Instead, at this moment, when he was the closest to success and the value of each breath at that moment far surpassed what it had been previously, he used it as his final resort.
'This … This is … the Seed of Life Extermination! Did … did it fail as well? This is impossible. How could it fail..? How could there only be a fragment left? ' There was disbelief in Ecang's voice, along with deep despair. It needed ten breaths before it could find the real Su Ming among the one hundred million hearts.
If these ten breaths were in the past, then it would have been nothing, but at this critical moment, these ten breaths would decide the outcome of the battle.
"I failed! The wills of the nine who were separated from me have been Possessed! Destroy it and take revenge for me!" As Ecang's despairing voice echoed in the air, Su Ming's Possession of the true one hundred thousand golden hearts had increased from ninety-eight percent to ninety-nine percent, and then … to one hundred percent!
The golden venous pathways and the golden hearts had all turned black at that moment!
