"You keep saying that I am an Abyss Builder, but not even I know my own origins," Su Ming said in a low tone, after having remained silent for a time. At that moment, the rate of the sealed region''s copse had reached its most extreme state. Dust rose in clouds, filling the entire area. Shattered stones fell off the walls. The entire sealed region was rumbling, and most of it had already copsed.
All the people who hade to this ce with Su Ming had already died. At that moment, besides the sealed region crumbling and copsing around him, there was no longer anything else that posed a danger to him.
Su Ming looked at the Duke of Crimson me, at the mighty cultivator that had lived for an unknown amount of years. He still remembered how the duke had called him, still recalled that he had said they came from the same homnd.
"I came from the fifth True World… There is no way I would misjudge your soul. That is the pure presence of the sacred Abyss Builders.
"You are an Abyss Builder, and also what all the races under the Abyss Pact formed in the fifth True World have acknowledged… the royal race!
"Under the Abyss Pact, all the races obey the sacred Abyss Builders. They will burn their Abyss Soul gs into their souls, form the indestructible Crazed Rebirth… Each Abyss Builder has his own Abyssal World. They will arrange the cycles of reincarnation in that world, and they are the one and only… that can resurrect the dead in the entire universe!
"A long time ago… I already don''t remember how long it has been, but the fifth True World, which is the home of our races, was invaded by the four True Worlds at the same time.
"It was a war aiming to destroy us all. This gxy we are now was one of the battlefields in the past… In the end, we lost the war. The fifth True World copsed, and the people of all the races either died or were sealed.
"However, the four True Worlds paid a devastating price for this as well. It was the first time they came to realize just how powerful the fifth True World was.
"None of the four Great True Worlds were the fifth True World''s opponent alone. Even if two of the True Worlds worked together, it would still be difficult for them to rock the fifth True World.
"But if the four of them working together, then were able to gain a power that the fifth True World could no longer suppress. It was a war thatsted for tens of thousands of years. During that time, the fifth True World was torn to pieces, and the people from all the tens of thousands of races suffered a grave number of casualties.
"I know that you don''t feel any hint of belonging to the ce I''ve just described. After all, you aren''t an Abyss Builder that lived during that era, but I do know that Abyss Builders were the main targets of extermination for the four Great True Worlds during the war. I don''t know where you came from, but I''m certain that your father, mother, and your ancestors died during the war." The Duke of Crimson me''s voice reverberated in the air with an ancient air and a solemn tone.
Su Ming remained silent. He did not speak. This was the first time he heard of these things. However, it was just as the duke had spoken. Those words could not strike a chord within him. Su Ming was Su Ming. The fifth True World was merely the fifth True World.
After some time, Su Ming asked, "Where is the entrance to the fifth True World?''
"The fifth True World is no longer around, so how could there still be an entrance leading to it? Even if it exists, I was sealed by the four Great True Worlds before the war ended, so I wouldn''t be known about it." The Duke of Crimson me shook his head, then looked at Su Ming. It had been just a while since the sealing sword had disappeared from the top of his skull, but arge amount of flesh had already gathered on his face.
"Let''s not talk about the fifth True World anymore. It doesn''t matter whether you are an Abyss Builder or not, and whether you acknowledge your status or not, let''s make a personal deal." The dark light in the Duke of Crimson me''s eyes began to shine brighter.
"I want to restore my cultivation base, I want to gather together my Lunar Kalpa once again, but it''s impossible to do so in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. There''s practically no ne Kalpa aura here.
"But even so, with my control overws, mastery over my physical body, and understanding over rules, it would not be difficult for me to kill all those who are not in theter stage of World ne Realm or higher.
"You are just in Earth Cultivation Realm. Even if you are capable of killing a person in World ne Realm using all your skills, you can only fight against those in the initial stage of it. If you run into those in the middle stage of World ne Realm, you will surely die!
"I could provide you protection and even attack for you." The Duke of Crimson me''s eyes shone as he spoke slowly.
"So? Not only will I attack for you, I will also grant you a great serendipitous event. This sealed region might be copsing, but it contains my physical power which has been stripped from me over the years. I have no use for this power, but it''ll be incredibly useful to you. At the very least, it can make your physical body so strong that it''ll reach the pinnacle of Heaven Cultivation Realm. In fact, it won''t be impossible for your physical body to reach the state of a Lord of a World ne.
"This will be a trade. I will give you all these, and what you''ll need to do is something really simple. I just need a promise. When you form your Abyssal World andy out the cycles of reincarnation in it, please retrieve the Abyss Soul gs that belong to Surging Indulgers and resurrect the millions of my people who died during the war.
"As long as you promise me this, then I, the Duke of Crimson me, will willinglyply to the Abyss Pact and do my best to support you!" The Duke of Crimson me''s voice hummed in the air. As it echoed in all directions, Su Ming''s heart shook.
"Don''t tell me the answer just yet. After all, you are the first native I met after I woke up. It doesn''t matter whether we end up sealing the deal, I will still give you the serendipity.
"This ce is filled with my physical power, but it''s useless to me. My Lunar Kalpa is no longer around, and as long as I don''t gather it together, I can train neither my physical body nor my cultivation base.
"I will… give all of them to you. Absorb as much as you can."
While speaking, the Duke of Crimson me lifted his right hand. A whirlpool immediately appeared on the purplish ck magma beneath him. As it rotated with loud rumbling sounds, the vast physical power in the ce surged towards Su Ming.
An endless amount of thin threads also charged over from all directions, filling the space around Su Ming.
A focused glint appeared in Su Ming''s eyes. He sucked in a breath, and all his pores opened up. A thick, boundless wave of physical power surged into his body and began to strengthen his blood, flesh, bones, and everything else that forms a powerful physical body.
A strong sense of strength that Su Ming longed for gathered together as he sucked in that breath. He could clearly feel his physical body getting stronger, little by little, with each breath he took.
This form of increase in physical power caused Su Ming to have a clear sense of his growing strength. His heart raced against his chest. Each beat was powerful, pushing his blood to circte through his body and fuse with the iing physical power. After one cirction, it was as if his cultivation base hadpleted a circuit in his body. He felt much stronger than before
Su Ming longed to get stronger. He desired the power to control his own fate, or else he would never have agreed toe to the sealed region with Tian Lin.
A bang went off in Su Ming''s head. While he was covered entirely by that endless physical power, the Duke of Crimson me''s voice reached his ears.
"The people sent by the four Great True Worlds to fend against this ce might have already noticed that a True Guard died. We can''t stay here for long."
Right then, the Duke of Crimson me formed a seal with his right hand and pushed against the purplish ck magma. With it, the copsing sealed region started shaking. Asyers uponyers of thend hardened. the ground and walls looked as if they had been sealed and no longer continued copsing. Instead, they turned into a gigantic piece of rock.
This rock was the entire sealed region. At that moment, under the influence of the Duke of Crimson me''s divine ability, a shudder wrecked through the rock that was the sealed region. With it, nineyers of ripples immediately appeared at the surrounding the ce.
The nineyers of ripples turned into nineyers of distortions. Those distortions moved together with the ripples, and in the blink of an eye, covered the entire rock. Once they filled up every single part on the rock, a loud rumble shook the entire Crimson me, reverberating through the night sky outside.
The hearts of a countless number of cultivators shook, and the ferocious beasts begun to roar. At that moment, the rock that was the sealed region in Crimson me… vanished with a hum.
It disappeared. The inner part of Crimson me became empty.
The disappearance was due to a warp. It was the Duke of Crimson me using thest shred of his power in ne Kalpa Realm to execute arge-scale warp so that he could shift the entire sealed region and leave… Crimson me.
In the boundless gxy there were many meteors rushing about. At that moment, nineyers of ripples took shape within one of the meteors. In the blink of an eye, the rock that was the sealed region appeared inside.
The Duke of Crimson me''s eyes became dull, but he did not immediately enter rest to recover. Instead, he turned his head to stare at the bald crane not too far in the distance, which had been toying around with the sealed sword previously, but was now pping its wings in a slight panic once the entire sealed region had been shifted.
"Sir, just who are you?"
"Darn it, why didn''t you tell me beforehand that you were going to shift? Damn it all, you scared the crap out of me! My heart is still thumping hard here. You scared me. I hate being moved abruptly the most. I have a trauma about it. I definitely have some sort of trauma about it." The bald crane''s face was stark pale. When it heard the Duke of Crimson me''s words, it immediately red at him.
Not too far from the purplish ck magma where the man and crane were located was Su Ming, who had his eyes closed at the moment. He was continuously absorbing the physical power around him.
His physical body was bing increasingly stronger, and his heart was letting out loud thumps. He was immersed in this state of continuously getting more powerful, like a caterpir that had turned into a cocoon and was in the process of forming its new life to be a butterfly.
Not long after the sealed region shifted away and hid itself in the meteor, a mighty pressure that shook the sky and earth appeared with a bang beyond the gxy in which Crimson me resided. Arge amount of distortions spread out, and after a moment, one, two, three ships…
A total of thirty-seven gigantic ships of several hundreds of thousands of feet shot through space and manifested in the area beyond Crimson me. Electrical arcs spread out from these ships, and the oppressive forceing from them made the entire Crimson me tremble.
There were nearly a thousand people standing on each ship. Numerous presences in World ne Realm spread out from the bow of the ships. In fact, in the middle of these ships was a longship, and there was a presence bursting forth from it that overshadowed all the other presences. It even formed half a sun from gigantic bolts of lightning in the gxy!
Since it was half a sun, it looked like a moon.
That was… the power of those who were had taken half a step into Sr Kalpa Realm, and that stage was known as Lunar Kalpa Realm.
