Su Ming watched everything happening in the screen of light. By his side, the Duke of Crimson Flame widened his eyes in shock. He pointed at the Runes on all the buildings and towers in the screen of light and spoke anxiously.
"This is … This is the fifth True World's Great Bright Light Rune! It's one of the powers of the fifth True World's entire defense system in the universe! " His heart trembled. The structure of this Great Bright Light Rune was a great secret even in the fifth True World. Besides the race that created it, it would be difficult for anyone else to know about it.
When the four Great True Worlds fought against the fifth True World, the fifth True World had used all the planets as its foundation to create an innumerable amount of these Runes. Every single time they were activated, the True World would tremble, and the destructive power was indescribable. All those who saw it with their own eyes and managed to survive would find it difficult to forget.
"Fellow Daoist, you have seen a lot of things. That's right, this is the fifth True World's Great Bright Light Rune." Elder Feng cast the Duke of Crimson Flame a glance and narrowed his eyes. He spoke with a smile, but once he finished speaking, he changed the topic and said something that caused the Duke of Crimson Flame's pupils to shrink.
"As expected of the Duke of Crimson Flame's seventh army and the general stationed in the eighth region of the southwest warzone. It's not surprising that you can recognize the Great Bright Light Rune."
The Duke of Crimson Flame's expression changed, but Su Ming remained as calm as ever. He only turned his head to cast Elder Feng a glance.
"I know everything about the fourth God of Berserkers' magnificent feats in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence and how you were forced into Western Ring Nebula's foreign land, but at that time, I didn't know that you were the fourth God of Berserkers. Now that I've thought about it, I've connected your past events together." Elder Feng smiled kindly and looked towards Su Ming as well.
'The stone dragons that are formed by the stone bridges in Black Water City are formed by the divine abilities of the Rockfall Race who still exist in Divine Essence Star Ocean. Only the stones that have been blessed by their Great Priests can gain intelligence over time and absorb the power of the world to grow.
"Judging by the ripples of power from each stone dragon, they should have existed for tens of thousands of years. If we connect this to the time when Black Water City was built, then Lie Shan Family should have been part of it when the Tai Ci Family built it," Yu Rou said elegantly beside Su Ming.
"Thousands of years ago, Progenitor Yu Rou was the only one who had managed to clear the Second Gate of Heavenly Dao in the Yu Family. She had long since heard that she was an exquisite being and obtained the power of the Moon God. She became the Apostle of the Moon, and obtained the power of the Moon God. Ming, and became of the Moon God.
Now, it seems that this is indeed the case. " Elder Feng smiled faintly. The depth in his eyes made it seem like there were very few secrets in the world that he did not know.
Yu Rou's expression remained as calm as ever. She was not shocked by Elder Feng revealing her identity. After all, it was not that difficult for a family who dared to fight against the Tai Ci Family, who had laid down their plans when Black Water City was built, to know these secrets.
It was especially so when Yu Rou remembered that Elder Feng had said something domineering just now.
"Black Ink Planet is ours."
Without absolute power, it was impossible for her to say those words. That was why Yu Rou was not surprised. Instead, she lowered her head to show her respect.
Elder Feng pointed out her identity, but Yu Chen Hai, who was not too far in the distance, had his expression change drastically. It was as if a storm had raged in his heart. He stared at Yu Rou's back with a dumbfounded expression, and for a period of time, his mind went blank.
He suddenly understood why Su Ming had not minded him being infatuated with his maidservant when they were in the tower in the Yu Family before they came to Black Water City.
In fact, he even remembered the strange look on Su Ming's face at that time. Only at that moment did he completely understand that … the person who had caused him to be so infatuated and even fall in love with her was actually … his own Progenitor!
This sort of shock was something he could not bear for a period of time. As his face turned pale, he staggered a few steps backwards. A wry smile appeared on his face, and there was even a hint of awkwardness on it.
Su Ming did not pay any attention to Yu Chen Hai. Instead, he looked at Elder Feng and asked calmly, "The First God of Berserkers found the Fifth True World?"
"I will give you an answer to this later, Fourth God of Berserkers. Right now, we should continue watching Lie Shan Family's true strength in Black Ink Planet." Elder Feng avoided the topic and shook his head with a smile.
As they spoke, a storm raged in Black Water City through the screen of light. The world roared, and the expressions of the hundreds of cultivators who were closing in on the Lie Shan Family changed drastically. Clearly, they were shocked by the scene in Black Water City. In disbelief, they retreated without any hesitation, intending to return to Great Kindness Hall.
However, the stone dragons were even faster. In an instant, they closed in on them, and booming sounds shook the sky. As the loud booming sounds drowned out the shrill screams of pain, blood spilled from the sky.
Most of the hundreds of cultivators from the Tai Ci Family died in that instant. The remaining cultivators fled swiftly with terror in their eyes. Quite a number of the stone dragons behind them crumbled, but when they turned into stones and fell down, they would gather together on their own to turn into another stone dragon that chased after the rest of the cultivators.
At that moment, the powerful light from Black Water City's Great Bright Light Rune rose from the ground and as if it had turned into a screen of light, it crashed into Great Kindness Hall. As booming sounds surged into the sky and reverberated in the air, Great Kindness Hall started trembling violently.
It only lasted for the span of a few breaths before it exploded right before Su Ming's eyes, turning into an endless amount of shards that tumbled backwards. Hundreds of cultivators fled from within, but they did not manage to escape too far. Once they were touched by the Great Bright Light Rune, they were crushed.
At that moment, the clouds in the sky tumbled about, and a furious roar came from the sky. As it did so, gigantic shadows swiftly gathered together in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of gigantic palaces appeared.
Each of the palaces was a Great Kindness Hall. When they appeared at the same time, the mighty pressure stirred up descended on the ground. That mighty pressure contained a tone that allowed no argument and the wrath of the nine heavens.
"Lie Shan Family, you've been planning for so many years and have hidden your strength so deeply, but Black Water City belongs to the Tai Ci Family. You … are just asking for death!" As that furious roar reverberated in the air, the entire Black Water City started trembling. Red light started shining at the edges of the city, and in the blink of an eye, that red light connected with each other to form a red screen of light. That screen of light was like a huge bowl that was placed on the ground. Once it covered Black Water City, it started shrinking inwards.
Wherever it went, the towers would shatter. In fact, some of the cultivators in the city did not manage to dodge in time and were touched by the red light. They immediately screamed in pain and their bodies started rotting away. Their blood was instantly sucked away and turned into a part of the blood-red screen of light.
Su Ming looked at everything in the screen of light, and Elder Feng's flat voice echoed in his ears.
"Black Water City was built by the Tai Ci Family, but the people who designed the Rune, the structure, and the people who built it were all from the Lie Shan Family. However, at that time, we were not called the Lie Shan Family." As Elder Feng spoke, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the screen of light.
With that one point, Su Ming immediately saw the shrinking red screen around Black Water City come to an abrupt halt. Then, like a bubble bursting, it burst from the top. The entire red screen of light shone with a crimson light, and with a bang, it gathered at the spot where it shattered and turned into a blood-red figure.
That figure was a dwarf with long, blood-red hair. Once he appeared, he lifted his head and roared. As he did so, all the cultivators in Black Water City felt as if their blood was about to leave their bodies.
The blood-red screen of light gathered together rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared. All of it had been absorbed by the blood-red dwarf.
"Blood-red Rune Spirit! Damn it, why is there a Rune Spirit in this Rune? When we built this Rune in the past, we already eliminated the possibility of a Rune Spirit being born! "A voice immediately traveled forth from the dozens of Great Kindness Palaces in the sky.
The blood-red dwarf licked his lips, then lowered his head and bowed in the direction of Lie Shan Family's auction hall. Once he did so, he lifted his head and roared, and as if his body had turned into a sea of blood, he charged into the sky.
At the instant the blood-red Rune Spirit rushed out, Su Ming even saw a blood-red moon appear on the Rune Spirit's body. That moon represented the Rune Spirit's level of cultivation.
At the same time, the dozens of Great Kindness Palaces in the sky moved and swiftly overlapped with each other to form the shape of a tower that pressed down on the incoming blood-red Rune Spirit.
A loud bang rang in the air.
The tall tower formed by the dozens of palaces pressed down on the blood-red Rune Spirit's body. Then, the tower shuddered, and thousands of cultivators flew out from within. Each of them had extraordinary power, and once they flew out, they filled the sky and charged towards Lie Shan Family's auction hall.
"The Tai Ci Family has been growing for tens of thousands of years, and we have plenty of family members … but how many of them have the blood of the Lie Shan Family flowing in their veins?" Elder Feng suddenly laughed. That smile of his was a little ghastly and enchanting.
As he laughed, he brought out a black plate and threw it at the screen of light.
Su Ming immediately saw the plate fusing into the screen of light, then appearing in the sky above Black Water City. When it did so, the plate grew several times larger and turned into the shape of a small hill.
There were two big words on it.
Black Ink.
Once the plate appeared, most of the thousands of people from the Tai Ci Family who had rushed towards the Lie Shan Family came to an abrupt halt. Their expressions changed drastically, and they only seemed to hesitate for a short moment before they immediately turned around … and started fighting against the cultivators who had been their family members just a moment ago.
This scene caused a brilliant light to shine in Su Ming's eyes. He could still accept everything that had happened just now. It did not matter whether it was the Rune in Black Water City, the screen of light, or other things, he could understand it, but now, the members of the Tai Ci Family had split up because of a single plate. This … represented an incredibly great matter.
As if he had noticed Su Ming's shock, Elder Feng turned his head around to look at him and smiled kindly.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is no way that the first God of Berserkers who was able to create the Berserkers' dynasty in ten thousand years would only have a middle-grade Lie Shan Family in Black Ink Planet.
"In Black Ink Planet, we are the true masters in the dark!"
As Elder Feng spoke, the tower in the sky above Black Water City trembled and crumbled with a bang. Dozens of halls crumbled, and as they crumbled, the blood-red Rune Spirit let out a roar.
Yet at that moment, a sigh echoed languidly in the sky. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
