"What is this … Ah!" The moment Ye Shen Tong said those words, the festering spot on his right wrist started spreading through his entire right arm at an incredible speed. In an instant, his right arm turned into a pool of blood.
The poison from the wasp had not only destroyed Ye Shen Tong's physical body, it had also corroded his cultivation base, causing his level of cultivation to plummet once he lost his arm.
This sudden change happened too quickly, so much so that right when Tian Lin and the others noticed it, Ye Shen Tong's shrill scream of pain reached their ears, and it echoed in the tunnel.
That scream of pain seemed to be filled with a warping of the mind. As he screamed shrilly, veins popped up on Ye Shen Tong's face, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot. With his level of cultivation and composure, it was a telling sign that the pain he was in at that moment had already surpassed the limits of what he could endure if he lost his composure and screamed in pain.
Tian Lin's expression changed drastically. He swiftly closed in on Ye Shen Tong. At the instant he took a step forward, a bloody aura spread out from him. That stench instantly caused Tian Lin's pupils to shrink. He had a strong feeling that he absolutely could not touch the blood that had melted from Ye Shen Tong's body, or else he would be in a lot of trouble.
As he hesitated, he saw that not only had Ye Shen Tong lost his right arm, a small part of his body had also flowed down like water. The bones that were revealed had also turned into liquid.
All of this might have seemed to have happened over a long period of time, but in truth, only a few breaths had passed since Ye Shen Tong attacked Su Ming. Ye Shen Tong was indeed a World Paragon. As he screamed shrilly of pain in the face of the venomous wasp's poison in his body, he forced himself to focus and swiftly lifted his left hand to seize the air. Immediately, eight medicinal bottles appeared in his hand, and he swallowed eight different antidotes in succession.
However, no matter how many antidotes he swallowed, he still could not stop the poison from spreading through his body. His legs shuddered, and even his legs turned into liquid. With a plop, he fell into the pool of blood. He looked incredibly pathetic, but there was also a wretched air about him.
But he was, after all, a Universe Master. At the moment when most of his body had melted and his cultivation was greatly reduced, he raised his half-melted left hand with difficulty and slapped it hard on his forehead, where his skin and flesh were melting and blood was dripping down. He could see that even his skull was melting.
With that strike, Ye Shen Tong let out a shocking roar. All his remaining cultivation base erupted from his body, and at the instant his entire body melted, his Nascent Divinity left his body.
Almost at the same time Ye Shen Tong's Nascent Divinity left his body, the remaining half of his body fell down. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a puddle of blood. Only his Nascent Divinity remained. His Nascent Divinity remained, and he floated in midair while shivering. His gaze was filled with shock and terror, as well as hatred and disbelief.
The derisive look in Su Ming's eyes disappeared. His expression was as aloof as ever as he spoke, and he said calmly, "It's a pity. If you had decisively given up on this physical body earlier and had your Nascent Divinity leave your body, then you would have been able to retain more of your power."
As he spoke, there was a wasp lying on his shoulder that did not seem to pose any threat. That wasp's wings trembled slightly and let out soft buzzing sounds. The poisonous stinger on its tail had already been put away, but that buzzing sound caused the expressions of Tian Lin and the others to turn grave.
Tian Lin looked at Su Ming. He was the person who paid the most attention to Su Ming among the group, but that level of attention was only because he treated Su Ming as someone who had the same status as himself. However, once his Nascent Divinity returned to his physical body, his level of cultivation had increased for a short period of time, causing his regard towards Su Ming to naturally decrease slightly.
He had always thought that even if Su Ming was slightly threatening, it was mainly because of the Crimson Python Phoenix, that strange power of law, and the eight-colored crystal. Perhaps there were some other mysterious aspects about him, but in his eyes, in the face of absolute power, all of his methods were just tricks.
Yet only now did he realize, to his shock, that he had greatly underestimated just how terrifying Su Ming was. He had not executed the power of law that seemed strange to him, had not had the Crimson Python Phoenix by his side, and had not even used the eight-colored crystal. He had only brought out a new pet, and he had already poisoned Ye Shen Tong to such a terrifying degree.
This might be related to Ye Shen Tong's carelessness and Su Ming's actions were practically akin to an ambush, but this was the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, where the strong preyed on the weak. No one could say anything about Su Ming's actions. After all … Ye Shen Tong had attacked first, and they had tacitly agreed to act as his support.
'This person's level of cultivation might seem normal, but he's mysterious and unfathomable. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Not only can he break the seal, he also has the Crimson Python Phoenix and this poisonous wasp … In fact, if he wants to, he might be able to control quite a large number of ferocious beasts in Crimson Flame Planet right now … Could this person be a Spirit Sealing Cultivator?! ' Tian Lin's expression was incredibly solemn. At the same time this thought appeared in his heart, he wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards Su Ming.
"Brother Su, you hid your strength well, causing me to make some guesses. I didn't expect that you would actually be a Spirit Sealing Cultivator, who is rumored to be incredibly rare in the four Great True Worlds." Tian Lin laughed wryly. When he spoke in a low voice, the expression of Ye Shen Tong's Nascent Divinity immediately changed. When he looked towards Su Ming, the hatred in his eyes trembled, and the shock in his eyes grew deeper.
He knew very well what a Spirit Sealing Cultivator was. They were incredibly diabolical cultivators. Their levels of cultivation might not be high, but each Spirit Sealing Cultivator would have a large number of incredibly powerful ferocious beasts by their side. These ferocious beasts would seem to be controlled by these cultivators, and they would follow them willingly. They would even fight for these cultivators with their lives at any moment.
Long Li stared at the poisonous wasp on Su Ming's shoulder with a grave expression on his face. His heart was also incredibly shaken at that moment. After all, even he had to pay a certain price if he wanted to injure Ye Shen Tong so badly. He would definitely not be able to do it so easily. However, what had happened during that instant just now made Long Li forget about Su Ming's level of cultivation or the process of what had happened. If he only looked at the result, then just the shocking aspects of Su Ming immediately made him wary.
At that moment, even if Su Ming did not have the power of a World Paragon, he was undoubtedly a powerful warrior in everyone's eyes who could make them regard him with importance and be wary of him!
Only at that moment could Su Ming be considered to have truly been acknowledged by these old monsters as someone who could negotiate with them.
"What domineering poison, and what shocking speed. Brother Su, this poisonous wasp of yours … I know of many ferocious beasts in the world, but I've never heard of it before. Even among the ten great ancient ferocious insects, only the second ranked Dark Shadow Dragonfly and the first ranked Poison Sea Silkworm can compare to it!
"Brother Su, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeves. You might still have a lot of them hidden up until now." Sun Kun narrowed his eyes, hiding most of the light in his eyes, making it difficult for others to see his thoughts clearly. There was also a hint of caution in his words.
"I'm not the only one hiding my level of cultivation, am I right?" Once Su Ming swept his gaze past the crowd, he swung his right arm, and the poisonous wasp on his shoulder immediately disappeared.
Sun Kun opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but suddenly, the buzzing from the red threads in the tunnel grew louder. As they charged into the air, an endless amount of densely packed red threads appeared several hundreds of feet away. They were incredibly quick, and as they charged towards them, they sealed off all their paths of retreat.
Zhang Kun's expression changed. By his side, Long Li and Tian Lin's pupils shrank as well. Only Ye Shen Tong remained. Even though he was trembling, there was madness in his eyes. He knew that with his current condition, it would be very difficult for him to escape from this place. If he could watch everyone die together, he would not have any regrets.
During this critical moment, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He did not choose to use the bald crane's power to break the seal. In his eyes, he absolutely could not reveal this to the crowd, or else even if he managed to solve the current crisis, it would still bring him a lot of trouble in the future.
Besides, Su Ming absolutely did not believe that these people before him would truly have no way to break the seal. After all, even the cultivator in Heaven Cultivation Realm who had died in Su Ming's hands had prepared killing moves and life-saving Arts in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, much less these true World Paragons.
The red threads might be a great threat, but the greater threat came from each other. That was why Su Ming had attacked so viciously to intimidate them. After all, his level of cultivation was the lowest among the group.
At the moment of danger, Su Ming swiftly took a few steps back and had his back lean against the stone wall. A vast amount of physical power came from the dark blue stone wall, and at that moment, it started melting rapidly behind Su Ming. By the looks of it, Su Ming wanted to make his body sink in to avoid the red threads coming towards him.
Sun Kun narrowed his eyes and immediately formed a seal with his hands. Once he did so seven times, seven overlapping shadows appeared on his body. A glint also appeared in Long Li's eyes. No one knew what he was thinking, but at that moment, booming sounds rang in their ears. The red threads that were several hundreds of feet away closed in on them in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, they submerged the group within.
Almost at the instant the red threads covered the entire area like seawater, the Five Direction Seal around Su Ming shone viciously. However, Sun Kun's body took seven steps back as the overlapping shadows appeared on his body. At the instant he touched the screen of light behind him, he shot through it. A hint of a smug smile appeared at the corners of his lips, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
At the same time he disappeared, a low roar came from the charging red threads. It came from Long Li. His appearance had changed drastically, and he looked like a black fog formed by an endless amount of shadows. He rushed into the seal, turned into several parts, and using some unknown method, he also disappeared into the screen of light.
It was also at that moment that a loud bang that surged into the sky reverberated violently in the tunnel. It was the sound of the endless red threads crashing into the screen of light!
The light from his Five Direction Seal continued shattering, and the poisonous wasp also shone before him. He was fighting back with great difficulty, but a cold sneer appeared at the corners of his lips. He saw Sun Kun and Long Li's actions, and he knew that his previous judgment was correct. Each of them had their own tricks up their sleeves, and they were only dragging things out because they wanted to cause more casualties. If one more person died, then there would be one less person who could share the power of a World Plane.
'That's good as well. We'll just have to rely on our own abilities. 'A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes.
