More importantly, he had deep suspicions towards this Candle Dragon's blessing!
In Su Ming's eyes, the Candle Dragon was a life form that was filled with intelligence and resolution. Even if this life form died, even if it only had a sliver of its will left, it would still be prideful.
Perhaps it disdained to lie, or perhaps this was truly a blessing, but there was only a thin line between a blessing and a curse. It was like an empty bottle. Once enough water was poured into it, it would become full, but if more water was poured into it, then there was a high possibility that the bottle would explode.
This sort of explosion was not a blessing, but a different kind of curse!
'If you can withstand my serendipity, then I will give you my remaining life force and the power of one World to bless you as you grow, so that you will have the right to become the master of the descendants of the Candle Dragon!
'But if you can't withstand it, then you won't have the right to become the master of the descendants of the Candle Dragon. If that's the case, being a Candle Dragon's descendant without a master's control is much better than becoming someone else's servant.'
Perhaps, that was the Candle Dragon's true intention!
Life and death will be decided in an instant, and it all depends on how you choose! This was a blessing, a curse, and also … a test!
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He looked at the rapidly rotting woman's head, then at the spinning black thread at the center of her brows. That black thread was becoming clearer, as if it was about to shoot out of the center of the woman's brows at any moment. That … was the small snake!
'This power came too suddenly. I don't have time to completely stabilize it. If that's the case, then I'll be in a hurry when I try to reach the Berserker Soul Realm. I won't have complete preparations, and if that's the case … the chances of failure will be incredibly high!' Su Ming knew that he had a large amount of Crimson Stones in his storage bag, but the Nine Abyss Flower was not among them, or else he would have cut it open a long time ago. The situation was dire, and as Su Ming was thinking rapidly, the twenty-fourth Berserker Bone appeared in his body!
'Should I go or not..?' Su Ming started struggling, but the presence and life force that was continuously surging into his body made it impossible for him to get rid of it. Similarly, as the number of Berserker Bones increased and the power surged into his body, Su Ming could clearly feel his body becoming stronger.
It was a feeling as if he had become much stronger than before, but what came with that feeling was death. Once he reached twenty-six Berserker Bones, he would face a life and death situation that was akin to a gamble!
When Su Ming saw the twenty-fifth Berserker Bone letting out a faint golden light as the Candle Dragon's aura and life force surged into it, he gritted his teeth. The Nascent Soul in his body instantly opened its eyes, formed a seal with both hands in his Dantian region, and sucked in a deep breath.
This was the only way Su Ming could think of to ease the situation, but it was clear that he would not be able to use this method for long. Even his Nascent Soul would eventually be unable to absorb the energy. At that time, he would still have to make a difficult decision.
At that moment, as his Nascent Soul sucked in the air, the life force that surged into Su Ming's body changed its direction. A large portion of it charged towards his Nascent Soul, and in an instant, it surrounded him.
His Nascent Soul continued forming seals with its hands, and as it continued changing them, it did so according to the Immortals' cultivation method Hong Luo had inherited from him. After a moment, his Nascent Soul grew to twice its original size, and pain appeared on its face. This sort of forceful increase in power symbolized a serendipity, but it also symbolized danger and pain.
Once Su Ming's Nascent Soul grew to twice its original size, his level of cultivation immediately broke through the initial stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and it was still increasing. Time passed by quickly, and before long, Su Ming's Nascent Soul grew to twice its original size once again as it continued growing. The Nascent Soul's expression turned incredibly pained, and Su Ming's expression became even more so.
He had a feeling as if his Nascent Soul was about to explode. A bang went off in his head, and his Nascent Soul let out a roar. Immediately, the insides of his Nascent Soul became cloudy, and his level of cultivation rose from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm to the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!
At that moment, the power surging into his body still did not reduce in the slightest. Instead, it became even greater, as if it would not stop until Su Ming exploded!
Fine blood capillaries appeared on his body, and fine cracks appeared on his Nascent Soul. It looked like a bottle that was about to shatter!
Almost the instant his Nascent Soul reached the later stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, as it continued absorbing power, Su Ming's Nascent Soul reached great completion of the Nascent Soul Realm!
With just one more step, he would reach Soul Formation!
Once he reached Soul Formation, then his Nascent Soul would be the same as the Latter Shamans in the Shaman Tribe, and it would be the same as the Berserker Soul Realm in the Berserker Tribe!
'Immortals need to understand their Domains to reach Soul Formation. This Domain is very mysterious, and I can't understand it … but I have to break through now! ' Su Ming gritted his teeth, and the thought of throwing caution to the wind appeared in his mind. During this moment of life and death, he did not care about death. Since the Candle Dragon's blessing was a test, then he might as well not think about anything else!
The moment this thought appeared in Su Ming's mind, his Nascent Soul opened its mouth wide and a ferocious look appeared on its face.
"Candle Dragon, let's see just how much of your blessing I can get!" Su Ming's Nascent Soul opened its mouth wide and started absorbing madly. All the aura and life force surged into Su Ming's body and surged into his Nascent Soul. As it continued surging into him, his Nascent Soul rapidly grew larger, and eventually, its size was almost the same as Su Ming's body!
'Soul Formation … Soul Formation … I didn't understand my Domain, but I understood the fusion between the past and future. I found the connection between the past and future. If we're talking about Domains, then my Domain is Destiny!
'Everyone has their own Destiny, and everything in the world has a cycle! ' As the aura and life force continued surging into Su Ming's Nascent Soul, it swelled up. In the end, it let out a low roar and exploded with a bang. As it did so, a loud bang rang out in Su Ming's mind.
His consciousness became clouded, and he seemed to have seen his Nascent Soul going through a metamorphosis. A new life was born, and it could no longer be called a Nascent Soul, but a Nascent Divinity!
The Nascent Divinity was like a shadow, like a body, like an illusion. Su Ming could sense a wave of ripples coming from it. It was a will that said that as long as the Nascent Divinity existed, the soul would not die.
The Nascent Divinity had just been born, and Su Ming could sense how fragile it was. At that moment, the Nascent Divinity needed time to nourish itself. If it continued absorbing the Candle Dragon's aura, then it would immediately be unable to withstand it and would disappear.
When Su Ming saw the Candle Dragon's aura and life force surging into him charging towards his Nascent Divinity, his eyes flew open and he lifted his right hand to form a seal before pointing forward. Immediately, the instant the Candle Dragon's power closed in on him, his Nascent Divinity floated out of his body and gathered before him before leaving his body.
'The Immortals cultivate their Nascent Divinities, and they say that as long as the Nascent Divinity exists, the soul will not die. Now that I've formed my Nascent Divinity, then even if my body is destroyed by the Candle Dragon's power, I can still use this Nascent Divinity to Possess someone else! ' Su Ming gritted his teeth. The moment his Nascent Divinity left his body, the Candle Dragon's power surged into his body and charged towards his Berserker Bones.
In an instant, a powerful golden light erupted from Su Ming's twenty-fifth Berserker Bone. At that moment, Su Ming's spine looked to be shining with a brilliant golden light, and even his entire body had become a dazzling shade of gold.
Twenty-five Berserker Bones was the peak of the Bone Sacrifice Realm. There were quite a number of powerful Berserkers who had reached this level in the Berserker Tribe who would not continue training in it, because they did not have the confidence to face the life and death Berserker Soul Realm once the twenty-sixth Berserker Bone appeared!
If Su Ming could choose, he would definitely try it only after he had a great amount of confidence, but now, he did not have a choice!
His eyes turned crimson, and at the instant resolution appeared in his eyes, his twenty-five Berserker Bones started absorbing the power at the same time, absorbing all the Candle Dragon's power that had surged into his body into them to form … the twenty-sixth Berserker Bone!
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the instant the twenty-sixth Berserker Bone appeared, a light that could even be seen in the world outside erupted forth from Su Ming's spine. That light continued gathering together, as if it wanted to turn into a person behind Su Ming, and that person … was the statue of the God of Berserkers that only powerful Berserkers in the Berserker Soul Realm possessed!
A feeling as if his soul was about to be sucked away by that statue of the God of Berserkers caused Su Ming's consciousness to become muddled. In the midst of that muddled state, his mind went blank.
However, the moment that illusion appeared and flickered a few times, it looked as if it could no longer hold on. It lasted for a few more breaths in an unsteady manner before eventually showing signs of dissipating and crumbling with a bang. The instant it crumbled, Su Ming felt his consciousness being sucked away instantly being torn apart. The spine that was shining with a powerful light in his body also shattered violently. As it shattered, blood trickled out of the corners of Su Ming's mouth. That blood only flowed out in the beginning, but it instantly gushed out of his mouth. Blood also gushed out of all his pores at that moment, and he instantly became dispirited.
The shadow of death enveloped a large area, and Su Ming failed in the Berserker Soul Realm!
At the same time he failed, due to his spine crumbling, Su Ming's flesh and blood started showing signs of disintegrating into the wind. His life force was rapidly diminishing, and his life was swiftly fading away.
However, these signs only appeared for an instant, because the vast amount of life force and aura was still surging into Su Ming's body. As that life force fused into his body, his flesh and blood were not torn apart. His life force was rapidly being replenished, and his shattered spine was also rapidly regathering itself.
"I can help you once, but only once … Not all lives can withstand my blessing. Next time … if you cannot withstand it, then you are not fit to become the master of the descendants of the Candle Dragon.
"Next time, if you cannot withstand it, then stay here and die with me … If you can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then the most precious power of one World that I have left will appear. Absorb it, and that will be your true serendipity!" The Candle Dragon's ancient words echoed in Su Ming's heart. His spine gradually became whole, and his life force was completely replenished. Besides his spine no longer shining with golden light and needing to be refined again, Su Ming was not injured in the slightest.
Even though his Berserker Bones had shattered and he was no longer in the Bone Sacrifice Realm after he regathered them, Su Ming could sense that not only did his power not decrease, it had instead become stronger. He did not have time to think too much about this strange thought, because as the aura and life force surged into his body, the first bone on his spine started shining with golden light once again.
