Pursuit of the Truth Chapter 830: Ecang as His Clone (5)

Chapter 830: Ecang as His Clone (5)

The mont the one hundred thousand galaxies roared, the cultivators that were receiving their tests in ninety-seven different galaxies found that they could not control their bodies. They were all forced out of their galaxies, and when they reappeared, they had already been moved to the place where the one hundred thousand stone monunts were.

As their bodies appeared at the sa ti, their faces filled with shock as well as disbelief, everyone else swiftly looked over at them.

Ninety-seven people had failed at the sa ti and returned simultaneously, while their stone monunts shone and shrank together… This was sothing that had never happened before in this land over countless years!

"What happened? Why… did these people appear instantly at the sa ti?!"

"Ninety-seven stone monunts turned from nearly one million feet to several tens of thousands of feet at the sa ti. What-what is going on?!"

As the buzz of discussions from the people echoed in the air, the ninety-seven people who were forced out of their tests looked at each other in silence, their faces pale. They saw the shock and astonishnt within each other's eyes.

"Sothing's wrong! There's still one stone monunt that is nearly one million feet! That person… He hasn't yet appeared!"

"Hmm?" As that voice rang in the air, all the people's gazes, including those of the ninety-seven returnees, instantly gathered on Su Ming's stone monunt.

The buzz of discussion instantly died down. The two words that were carved on that stone monunt were reflected in each and every person's eyes.

Mo Su.

……

Su Ming's face had occupied half of the area within the golden venous pathways at that mont, and his voice, which was laden with his determination, echoed in all directions.

"Most important of all… I would have let it slide if you had just toyed with , but you tried to affect those around ! I will fight against you… because I want to protect my family and all those who have been kind to . I want to protect them, and this… is the pillar that's supporting in my life! It's the only resolution that has allowed to keep moving forward!

"I will protect them!

"This is the only reason that I still have the courage to continue living! I will beco strong, I will beco the strongest in the universe, because I don't want to see the people who had been kind to cry. I don't want to see them die. I want to protect everyone. They… are the most precious things to . They are my life."

An incredibly powerful wave left Su Ming's soul. This was his roar, his cry. This was the strongest shout he had mustered from the depths of his heart against fate.

Bang!

Besides Su Ming's face around him, all the others ford by black smoke within the other one hundred thousand galaxies shot through all the obstructions and appeared near the golden trees. Without stopping, they instantly imprinted themselves on the trees and shot through the tree trunks before rushing towards the golden venous pathways within every single tree.

Within the blink of an eye, loud bangs that could overturn the world shot out from those one hundred thousand Ecang trees and one hundred thousand golden venous pathways.

"I burned my life for Dark Mountain and the elder in the past! I could swallow all those herbs to make myself stronger without care for anything and break that door because I cared about my tribe! I wanted to protect my tribe!"

Su Ming's voice reverberated in the air. The venous pathways within the one hundred thousand trees were devoured and occupied at the sa ti by the black faces ford by Su Ming.

"I lived a forlorn life, but I walked through all the bumpy roads to find my elder. I wanted to protect him, wanted to make the old man smile happily, let him see that his young La Su had grown up and could stand by his side to protect him."

The one hundred thousand faces roared and occupied the venous pathways instantly, eventually making half of all the one hundred thousand of those trees and one hundred thousand sets of venous pathways to belong to Su Ming!

"I beca the God of Berserkers and shouldered the Berserkers' fate. Even if I'm not a Berserker, but my senior brothers are, my Master is, my friends are. For them, I could give up on my struggle, as long as… they were happy. I could beco the God of Berserkers and help the Berserkers gain new glory."

Once half of each of the one hundred thousand sets of venous pathways in the one hundred thousand trees were under Su Ming's control, he roared, and those faces started spreading at the sa ti throughout all the venous pathways within those one hundred thousand trees!

The spread this ti was even faster. Ecang's will was madly struggling, wanting to break free of the lock left behind by the bald crane before it fainted, but this was a lock that was placed by the bald crane burning its soul. The might of that lock was sothing that even Ecang needed to spend so ti on if he wanted to break free.

"I ca to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence because I wanted to protect the ninth summit. I didn't want them to cry. I didn't want my senior brothers to die. For that, I could sacrifice myself. I could live without love and pain. I could co to this foreign place. As long as they were alive, I would be happy.

"This is the resolve in my heart. It is my obsession. For this obsession, even if I will eventually make seas of blood flood the sky, even if I will stain my hands with blood, why should I care?!

"I WILL NOT GIVE UP!"

Su Ming's voice reverberated in the air. The occupation of the venous pathways from those one hundred thousand trees had moved from a fifty- to fifty-six-hundredths!

It might have seed to have only increased by a six, but this was definitely not that simple a calculation, because that was not just rely fifty-six-hundredths of a single tree, but fifty-six-hundredths of one hundred thousand trees!

Boom!

The lock left behind by the bald crane before it fainted was broken by Ecang. As its will spread out from within, its furious roars shook the sky and earth within the world of those venous pathways.

"Even if Sui Chen Zi's law is protecting you, you won't be able to Possess ! Get lost! Get lost! Get lost!!"

Ecang's anger burned the skies. Over the nurous years, there had been plenty of people who had wanted to Possess it, but none of them had been able to occupy more than half of its body. In fact, this wasn't even a simple occupation of half its body, but an occupation of half of all of its bodies.

This brought it a great sense of danger. If it was not because it would definitely need to pay a price that even it would not be able to bear if it went against Sui Chen Zi's law, then it would have already killed Su Ming, instead of just chasing him away from its body.

"Get lost! Get lost! GET LOST!!"

Ecang's will bood and crashed into Su Ming's faces, which were ford from the venous pathways after he had occupied them. In fact, Ecang was not just crashing its will into one single place, either. Instead, its will erupted at the sa ti from all the one hundred thousand trees, the one hundred thousand of its bodies at the sa ti.

Booms rang out. Without the bald crane fighting against the will, Su Ming bore the full brunt of its attack. When Ecang shouted its first words for Su Ming to go away, his soul trembled. It was difficult for him to even put up a resistance against Ecang's strength. At the sa ti it bore down on him, its power turned into one that reversed ti and swept up Su Ming's soul, making the fifty-six-hundredths occupied of the venous pathways to regress to only fifty-three-hundredths!

Su Ming's faces turned ferocious. He erupted at that instant, and without any hesitation, he chose to burn his soul!

It was just as he said previously: unless fate crushed him, then he would definitely crush fate under his feet. It was the sa in this place. Unless Ecang could destroy him, then Su Ming would definitely complete the Possession. Even if he died, he would still succeed!

As his soul burned, Su Ming began fighting against Ecang's will.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He fought against it several tis, but his occupied territory still shrank down, from fifty-three-hundredths to a forty-five-hundredths. However, once it fell back to this much, Su Ming's burning of his soul reached its peak. He no longer moved back, and as he continued crashing against Ecang's will, his occupied territory moved from forty-five-hundredths back to forty-six, then forty-seven. When he reached a forty-eight-hundredths, he could no longer continue, but Ecang could also not make him move back anymore.

Intense pain shot through Su Ming's soul. It was rapidly becoming incomplete, fading away as it burned. However, as it burned, Su Ming's madness was shown fully.

"Foolish cultivator, did you think that you could Possess if you burned your soul? I can even choose to no longer continue crushing you. As long as I stop your Possession from spreading, before long, you will die due to the burning of your soul.

"You foolish life form, you're definitely going to lose! You're definitely going to die!" As Ecang's voice echoed in the air, most of Su Ming's soul had already burned away, but the faces that were ford from the venous pathways he had occupied smiled in a bizarre fashion.

That smile on those one hundred thousand faces at the sa ti montarily stunned Ecang.

Right at that mont, Su Ming's voice ca from within those one hundred thousand galaxies and one hundred thousand Ecang's tree.

"Ancient existences within Yin Death Region. I know that you can hear my voice, and every single one of the actions I took after I ca to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence were under your watch. You're also seeing what I'm currently doing.

"Help fight against Ecang's will. If I succeed, I will obtain this serendipity, and I will help you find your king! If you don't take action, then my soul will simply die, and it'll be impossible for you to find another person like who will help you find your king!"

As Su Ming's voice echoed in the air, an enraged roar ca from the depths of Yin Death Vortex, located in True Morning Dao World, which was far away from the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.

Su Ming's soul was still burning, but only three breaths passed before incredibly ancient presences suddenly appeared in his soul. There was not just one, but four of them.

At the instant those presences appeared, they imdiately spread out from within his soul and ford an illusory black mask. It was naturally the seal that had been imprinted on Su Ming.

At the mont the four presences spread out, four suns appeared beside him. Those suns were green, red, blue, and white respectively. An age-old presence spread out from them, and they spun rapidly around the mask before they charging towards Ecang's will with a loud bang.

"Damn it, just what exactly do you have around you?! You had that traitorous and thieving crane, and you even have the protection of the divine thoughts from four people who are half a step away from beings Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death!" After being montarily stunned, Ecang let out a furious roar and swept past the area with its will.

"Abyss Builder, rember… to find our king for us. We are the fifth True World's Yin Maelstrom people, Boundless Gangue people, and Just Progenies !

"If you don't fulfill your promise, we will definitely destroy all the Berserkers!" There was anger within the four chilling divine thoughts, and their voices surrounded the mask before going outwards.

"Quit your yapping and attack!"

Su Ming let out a cold harrumph. They had no choice. Forcing them to attack was part of his plan to Possess Ecang. Su Ming had been thinking for four hundred sothing years, and he had already calculated all possible situations. Even if these people refused, he still had a few thods to force them to attack.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There was once again soone there to help Su Ming fight against Ecang. As Su Ming's soul burned, it spread out at an indescribable speed. He continued occupying the venous pathways ceaselessly within the one hundred thousand galaxies and one hundred thousand trees, moving upwards from the forty-eight-hundredths.

Forty-nine, fifty-one, fifty-three, fifty-five… until he reached sixty-hundredths!

And it continued. Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-five, sixty-seven…

Booms echoed in the air. The mask that symbolized the four great divine thoughts from Yin Death Region shattered to pieces. The four suns around it were also reduced into nurous glittering flickers of light during that spread out.

As the mask shattered and the four divine thoughts disappeared, the ancient wills from Yin Death Region also completely lost their control over Su Ming!

This ant that he had taken a huge step forward in his path towards resisting fate. He had successfully shaken off the limitations placed on him by Yin Death Region, and successfully… supplanted those controlling him!

From then on, he would no longer be sealed by Yin Death Region. He had regained his complete self… and the existences within Yin Death Region would not dare to touch the Berserkers, because they needed him to find their king!

"Damn you, you accursed cultivator, I'd like to see what else you have besides that traitorous, thieving crane and the protection from the four divine thoughts. Even if you occupied more areas, it's still useless. Your soul is about to be completely burned. You're about to die! What else can you do?!" Ecang roared furiously. Once it crushed the mask and the four divine thoughts, it swept towards Su Ming once again.

At the instant it closed in on him with loud booming sounds, Su Ming, who had occupied a sixty-nine-hundredths of all the venous pathways within the one hundred thousand trees, had all the faces he ford smile in that bizarre fashion once again.

About seven-tenths of Su Ming's soul had been burnt. As he smiled, he mumbled with madness in his eyes, "Possessing you will be the greatest serendipity in my life.

"But Possessing you isn't the most important thing in my life!" The madness in Su Ming's eyes grew even stronger, as if it had been lit up in flas.

"Possessing you is just a process. During this process, I will borrow your strength to make sure that I break free from other people's control and beco who I really am. The existences within Yin Death Region were just one of those who wanted to rule , there's still… Di Tian!

"Di Tian, I once thought that I had completely broken free of your control and walked out of your plans, but now… I saw everyone's faces on Ecang's nurous branches… but I didn't see yours!

"During that mont, I knew that you are still controlling . Your plan hasn't failed at all! In fact, everything about is still a part of your plan!

"You are absent from all the faces that manifested on Ecang's tree, just like how I am absent from it! I can't see myself, and neither can I see you! Then doesn't it an that you used so thod to make it so that you are and I am you?! That you have let our souls fuse together in so sense?!

"I don't know what your plan is, but over the years, from all the clues I've gathered, I can vaguely guess… that you want my life! It's not my life in the sense that you want my vitality, but you want my life as an Abyss Builder!

"If that's the case, then either you die with … or you will get out of my soul!" This was the insane thought that had been born in Su Ming's mind after his first failure hundreds of years ago.

Possession was nothing. It was rely a serendipity. Breaking free of fate's control was the most important thing for Su Ming. Perhaps he was wrong. He was not certain whether Di Tian had fused with his soul, however… if he could have Hong Luo and those three powerful warriors in Solar Kalpa Realm in his soul, then why would it not be possible… for Di Tian to exist there as well?!

The less understanding he had towards this control, the harder it would be for him to break free from it. Only… by using his life as a betting chip and placing a huge bet that no normal person would take would he be able to break free of his predicant.

"Di Tian, are you leaving or not?!" Su Ming roared, and the one hundred thousand faces within the one hundred thousand trees in the one hundred thousand galaxies roared at the sa ti.

1. This is about when the elder locked Su Ming in the house in Wind Stream Tribe and went back without him for Dark Mountain Tribe's migration.

2. Master of Fate, Lives, and Death: Na of the Realm for those who can control fate, lives, and death. First ntioned by the Candle Dragon in 'For what reason do all manner of living practice cultivation? For what reason do we strive to beco strong?'

3. It's not ntioned, but I do believe that the fourth one is Heavenly Phantoms. Rember that the Duke of Crimson Fla ntioned that Su Ming had a seal on him that he didn't want to break because it was doing him good and Su Ming said that he did have a seal placed on him? I thought that it was a reference towards the seal on the mask at that ti.
