Su Ming's expression was one of pure satisfaction.
So satisfying.
He could guess that the Abyssal Sage King was currently on the other side of the passage, secretly observing the situation here.
Precisely because of this, the process of devouring the abyssal energy was even more thrilling.
His aura finally broke through the level 70 restriction.
"Level 70. Once I obtain one more Spirit Ring, I'll be a Spirit Sage!"
Where to get this Spirit Ring from?
Su Ming cast a cold gaze towards the Abyssal passage.
There, everything turned pale white.
Cracks appeared on the seal, spreading from the seal across the entire battlefield. Heaven and earth seemed to solidify in that instant.
Cao Dezhi's face changed drastically.
"How is this possible?"
Even though he had reached the quasi-god level, he felt incredibly insignificant before this power.
What level was the Abyssal Sage King, exactly?
A trace of fear rose in his heart.
A large, pure white, jade-like hand appeared. It had seven fingers. No blood vessels or scales were visible on the arm.
The moment this large hand appeared, the entire seal crumbled piece by piece, and heaven and earth completely solidified.
The Abyssal Sage King didn't utter a word, simply acted with furious intent, his target directly aimed at Su Ming.
He also only wanted to deal with Su Ming.
While reaching out, he was also using his full perception to scan the entire Douluo Planet, guarding against any contingency plans left by Tang San.
"It's over."
Cao Dezhi felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Su Ming's expression turned icy and severe. The instant the large hand fully formed, he wasted no words. He forcibly restrained all the power he hadn't fully absorbed yet and swallowed it all down.
At this moment, he had only digested about half of the Ba Emperor and Charm Emperor's power each, and the Heavenly Tribulation and Thunder Tribulation hadn't ended yet.
He directly devoured all these forces into his body.
His body fractured; divine power raged violently within.
Su Ming's expression remained unchanged.
"Gold-level Second Awakening!"
"Gold-level Second Awakening!"
Two consecutive Body Martial Soul Second Awakenings—one from his Body Martial Soul, one from his Spirit Power Martial Soul.
A golden body phantom condensed behind him, merging into his physical form. His body turned into a brilliant golden color. The cracks on his body, strained by the internal power, began to heal.
Golden threads pierced through heaven and earth, intertwining with the divine power within Su Ming.
"This..."
"Body Martial Soul Second Awakening? What exactly is his Body Martial Soul?"
Cao Dezhi had lost his ability to think.
He knew Su Ming was from the Body Sect.
But Su Ming had always used element control, showing no aspects of a body-type ability.
Now, he was displaying a Martial Soul Second Awakening, which again gave Cao Dezhi a sense of unreality.
"Barely under control, but it's enough."
A cruel smile appeared on Su Ming's face.
"Dare to stick your dog's paw in here again, and I'll chop it off next time too!"
He laughed heartily, seeming almost crazed. The divine power within him had just suppressed all the other forces when he guided everything towards destruction.
"Burst!"
The world fell into utter silence.
Although it should have been an earth-shattering explosion, to the ears of the Blood God Legion soldiers, everything became incredibly quiet.
They had even lost their hearing.
Between heaven and earth, only a single, brilliant, multi-colored light bloomed.
Su Ming had self-destructed.
Moreover, his self-destruction was executed with great skill, maximizing the potential of every ounce of power.
The large white hand was merely a construct formed from the Abyssal Sage King's own energy mixed with other Abyssal energy. It contained his origin power but wasn't his true body. Coupled with the separation and suppression between the two planes, it simply couldn't withstand Su Ming's self-destruction.
Amidst Su Ming's explosion, the large white hand shattered. The abyssal energy it turned into tried to return but was intercepted.
"Bastard!"
The Abyssal Sage King was beside himself with rage.
Even now, Su Ming was still intercepting his power.
After doing all this, Su Ming still had a portion of remnant spiritual power left, which gathered to form his likeness.
Now he stood between heaven and earth, with Spirit Rings materializing in circles beneath his feet.
Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red.
Six Spirit Rings, radiating dazzling light.
Outside these six Spirit Rings, a seventh, illusory ring was gradually taking shape.
"Beast!"
The Abyssal Sage King's furious roar came through the Abyssal passage.
Su Ming had captured the origin power he used to condense the large white hand.
Somehow, Su Ming was actually transforming it into a Spirit Ring.
That kind of law power filled the Abyssal Sage King with shock and fury.
This was the Douluo Plane's fundamental law, which held a very high priority within the universe.
Once transformed into a Spirit Ring and absorbed by a Spirit Master, it would be completely and permanently absorbed.
Su Ming's phantom revealed a satisfied smile.
He looked deep into the passage and issued his final threat.
"Remember what I said. Dare to stick your dog's paw in again, and I'll chop it off again!"
After speaking, his phantom dissipated. Across the entire battlefield, the energy fluctuations caused by Su Ming's explosion began to reverse. Brilliant flames rose, gradually converging in the sky above the battlefield to form a giant flower of fire.
Nirvana Fire took shape in the form of a lotus, gradually closing inward. At its core, Su Ming's phantom sat cross-legged, his body becoming increasingly solid.
Cao Dezhi stared, dumbfounded.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's Nirvana Fire?"
"He's undergoing Nirvana?"
On the other side of the Abyssal passage, the Abyssal Sage King trembled with rage.
Su Ming was undergoing Nirvana!
"I can't give him this chance!"
He immediately began condensing another hand.
He knew that if he gave Su Ming the chance to complete Nirvana, once he returned, he himself truly wouldn't be able to intervene again.
He had to destroy Su Ming immediately, preventing his Nirvana.
Otherwise, he couldn't endure repeated self-destructions like this.
The Abyssal Sage King was ultimately too timid to descend in his true form.
His greatest trump card was his ability to condense power and strike, ensuring his absolute dominance on the battlefield between the two sides while guaranteeing his own safety.
Now, Su Ming had become a variable.
"Block it for me."
Su Ming's voice echoed in Cao Dezhi's mind.
Immediately after, the remaining Sea God faith in the sky shone brightly once more.
Deity Invocation - Cao Dezhi.
Cao Dezhi's Spirit Power had already been cultivated to its limit. Now, empowered by the faith, it too transformed into divine power.
In this moment, his strength reached the true realm of a god.
Of course, faith could bestow everything, and it could also take everything away.
His current state was illusory and unstable, not part of the normal advancement path for a Spirit Master.
But the transformation of Spirit Power into divine power was enough.
Cao Dezhi erupted with his full power, blocking the Abyssal Sage King's second assault for Su Ming.
As the Abyssal Sage King was about to gather even more power, Cao Dezhi swung his sword in a reverse strike towards the Black Emperor.
The Black Emperor perished, its energy dissipating. Su Ming's Nirvana Fire began to pull this energy towards it. The Abyssal Sage King was infuriated.
He exerted the full power of the Abyss, forcibly sucking this portion of energy back.
"What kind of demon is this?"
Within the Nirvana Fire, Su Ming's phantom became increasingly solid, his entire aura growing more stable. The seven Spirit Rings outside his body shone in unison.
He turned his head, looking towards the direction of the Abyssal passage, and issued a challenge.
"Care to go again?"
The Abyssal Sage King fell silent.
He felt Su Ming's state was very peculiar.
He had already regained autonomous capability, though he hadn't fully digested the power.
This was the same state Su Ming was in just before his self-destruction.
So, Su Ming didn't need to fully recover to self-destruct limitlessly?
A desire to retreat arose in his heart.
A sense of warning surged within him.
"He's trying to lure my true body to descend!"
