The presence of Su Ming's clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole erupted with a bang, but as it did so, Su Ming noticed that no matter how his level of cultivation increased, it was contained at a level that was near the peak of the middle stage of World Plane Realm. He could not break through.
'The clone that practices the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole is incomplete, which is why its level of cultivation can no longer increase … If I want to make it complete, I will need to fuse with it!' Su Ming lifted his head, and as a glint appeared in his eyes, he took a step forward.
With it, the broken world around him distorted and instantly disappeared. Before Su Ming, he saw Black Ink Planet's sky and ground, and also … the near ten thousand members of the Yu Family as well as the three cultivators with great levels of cultivation at the foot of Dao Avenue Mountain.
Almost at the instant Su Ming walked out of the crumbling statue of the Sun and Moon Shine Together, he immediately attracted the gazes of the near ten thousand people in the area. Some of those gazes were filled with shock, some with shock, and some with complicated emotions.
Buzzing sounds reverberated in the air at that moment. All of this … was because of Su Ming alone!
"Is that him?"
"It's this person who cleared the first gate, Dao Avenue Mountain, and the second gate, Sun and Moon Shine Together, which caused the statues of the sun and moon to crumble!"
"Who recruited this person? Such an expert is not someone ordinary clansmen can touch. Could it be that he was invited by the elders of the clan?"
"He … Can he be considered to have cleared the Second Gate of Heavenly Dao? Will … the Third Gate of Heavenly Dao appear?!"
As uproars rose and fell, the Great Sect Elder, who was one of the three sect elders with the highest status in the Yu Family, wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he swiftly moved back.
Almost at the instant he retreated, Su Ming spread his arms wide in midair. At that moment, he did not have the time to deal with other people. Once he devoured the Sun God and Moon Goddess, his Ecang clone was swiftly digesting them and becoming stronger. At the same time, as his Ecang clone grew stronger, the power of Divine Essence Su Ming controlled in his soul also became stronger.
In this state, his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole had the chance to become stronger as well, but it was contained at a level that was near the peak of the middle stage of World Plane Realm. If he wanted to break through, he would need to make up for the flaws in his clone.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the ground. Immediately, the shattered pieces of the statue of the Sun God shuddered and tumbled backwards from all directions, bringing with them piercing whistles as they charged towards Su Ming.
When these shards were in midair, they swiftly dissipated and turned into threads that looked like flesh and blood that charged towards Su Ming's right hand. Once they fused into it, they filled his entire body.
The speed of the fusion was so quick that it enveloped Su Ming in an instant. From the distance, it looked as if he had turned into a gigantic cocoon. Not long after the cocoon was formed, the shattered pieces of the Moon God's statue charged towards him from all directions. In an instant, they covered him, causing the thing that had enveloped Su Ming to look like a grave!
Su Ming had clearly cast the Underground Wen Xiu Art on himself, using the characteristics of the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole to devour the essence of the statue of the sun and moon in an attempt to make his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole a little more complete.
This was the only method Su Ming could think of at that moment. Other than this, he would not be able to make his clone complete within a short period of time. He could only allow this chance to make him stronger to disappear.
The grave that was several thousands of feet big floated in midair. It looked like a statue, and it shone with a flickering light. There were also a large number of bumps and bumps on the surface of the statue, giving it a bizarre feeling.
This scene left the members of the Yu Family dumbfounded. Even the pupils of the three Sect Elders shrank.
"He's …"
"He's absorbing the essence of the statue of the sun and moon to repair the flaws in his life!"
"This is … This is …" The three Sect Elders' expressions were dark. The statue of the sun and moon belonged to the Yu Family, but they could only watch helplessly as it was absorbed. The three of them could not help but feel slightly displeased.
However, the evil and majestic pressure that was being emitted from the tomb caused the three of them to hesitate. Just when they did not know what to do, a sigh resounded through the entire Yu Family, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
"Let him absorb it." As the voice spoke, a figure gradually walked towards them from the distance. That figure was initially indistinct, but as it walked out, it gradually became clearer. It was a woman.
There was a veil over her face, so her face could not be seen clearly. However, there were waves of indescribable ripples spreading out from her body.
As the woman walked over, most of the members of the Yu Family were stunned. Only a few of them saw her, and their expressions immediately changed. At the same time shock appeared on their faces, they immediately knelt down while trembling.
"Progenitor!" Once the three Sect Elders saw the woman, a shudder ran through their bodies and they knelt down together. Their expressions were incredibly respectful, and there was even a zealous look on their faces.
As the three of them knelt down and the word 'Progenitor' spread through the air, the members of the Yu Family who were still in a daze immediately remembered the portrait of a woman among the statues they saw every single time they offered sacrifices to their ancestors.
"Greetings, Progenitor!" As they remembered the woman, all the members of the Yu Family knelt down and worshiped her.
That woman was the only person in the Yu Family who had cleared the Three Gates of Heavenly Dao! She might not be the most senior in terms of seniority, but she was the strongest person in the Yu Family over the countless years. Even the founder of the Yu Family could not compare to this woman in terms of level of cultivation.
She stood there quietly and lifted her head to look at the grave in the sky. She did not speak.
She did not speak, and it was as if the air around her had frozen, causing all the people to kneel down and not dare to speak.
Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, two hours went by.
Two hours later, cracking sounds suddenly came from the sky that enveloped Su Ming's grave. That sound swiftly grew stronger, and after a moment, it seemed to have connected into one. Eventually, with a bang, most of the grave shattered.
However, no shards fell from the place where it shattered. It was as if it had turned into ashes and disappeared on its own.
At the same time, a muffled voice came from within the grave.
"The sixth disaster!" At the instant that voice spoke, the world rumbled. The wind and clouds tumbled about, and a red lotus appeared in the sky like an illusion.
The lotus bloomed, but as it bloomed, its petals fell off one by one. When the first petal fell off, the grave where Su Ming was shuddered.
The second, the third … The petals continued falling off, and the grave where Su Ming was trembled even more violently. There seemed to be a faint growl coming from someone who was enduring intense pain.
When the final petal fell off, a loud bang came from the grave where Su Ming was, and a right hand stretched out. That right hand looked normal, but if anyone took a closer look, they would have the misconception that it could not be destroyed.
At the instant that right hand stretched out, a power that surpassed the peak of the middle stage of World Plane Realm and belonged to … the power of those in the later stage of World Plane Realm erupted with a bang in the world.
At the instant the presence of that person in the later stage of World Plane Realm spread out, the lotus in the sky disappeared.
Su Ming had gone through the sixth disaster of the Shadow of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole!
"The seventh disaster!" When Su Ming's voice came from the grave once again, the grave shattered once more. This time, the shattering reached its peak. As the layers disappeared, Su Ming's body was revealed before the people's eyes.
There was no longer a grave around him, and neither were the fragments of the statues of the sun and moon. His body did not seem to have changed, but only Su Ming himself knew that the flaws of his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole had been slightly perfected, even though it was not perfect yet.
This was enough to prove that his method of making his clone perfect was feasible!
The sky trembled, and the presence of Su Ming's cultivation base instantly erupted, as if it wanted to become even stronger … but almost at the moment it appeared, it disappeared. Su Ming had experienced this before, and he knew that this was due to the flaws of his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole. Even if he absorbed the statues of the sun and moon, he could only reduce the flaws slightly, allowing his clone's Qi and blood to break through the middle stage of World Plane Realm and reach the later stage of World Plane Realm.
Su Ming opened his eyes. At the instant he did so, the sun, moon, and stars in his eyes became incredibly bright.
"Greetings, Lord Messenger." At the instant Su Ming opened his eyes, all the people on the ground worshiping him aside from the woman standing there. She looked at Su Ming and bowed slightly. Her words did not echo in the air, but instead appeared in Su Ming's mind.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. At the instant he looked towards the woman, he was suddenly stunned. The woman's appearance … was eighty percent similar to the beautiful woman in the statue of the Moon Goddess!
Even though they were not completely the same, eighty percent of their resemblance was enough to make the woman an unparalleled beauty. Su Ming could also sense the gentle power of the Moon Goddess from her.
In fact, when he looked at the woman, he had a strong feeling that he … could control her life and will. In fact, if he wanted her to die, then she would immediately sacrifice her own life without any hesitation.
"I am the Sacred Lady of the Moon Goddess, Yu Rou. Greetings, Lord Messenger. You have the presence of the Moon Goddess and the Sun Goddess on you. This is not just the presence of the statues' divine bodies, but also their Divine Essence.
"The descendants of the Moon Goddess found the sacred item of the Gods many years ago. Over the years, they have been sending people to try to inherit the Gods' legacy, and after a long time … we have finally waited for you to descend," the woman said softly, and only Su Ming could hear her words.
A barely noticeable glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. No one should know that he had devoured the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess, so it was understandable that the woman misunderstood him. After all … he had indeed used his Ecang clone to devour the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess' Divine Essence.
As for the so-called divine bodies of the statues, Su Ming had indeed absorbed them to perfect his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole.
It was indeed fitting to say that he was the apostle of the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess. In fact, it was also fitting to say that he was the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess.
"Lord Apostle, please retrieve the Divine Vessel from the Third Gate of Heavenly Dao. I will offer you the power of Yin Essence to help you obtain the final legacy of the Gods … and complete our people's mission."
