The Spirit Core theory was something Du Busi and Su Ming had researched together.
Du Busi understood Su Ming's comprehension in this area better than anyone.
Every single step in the process of condensing a Spirit Core had been pre-planned and thoroughly understood by Su Ming.
Not only that, but based on the theory of Spirit Core condensation, he had also completed the design for his Battle Armor, enabling it to facilitate the condensation of a Spirit Core.
As long as he designed a set of Battle Armor for himself, Su Ming's Spirit Core condensation was almost a foregone conclusion.
In other words, Su Ming could already be considered a seven-ring Spirit Sage.
"There are plenty of hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in this ocean. You're in for a treat," Du Busi said.
During the previous three months of voyage, they had been attacked by sea Spirit Beasts more than once.
Among them were two hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
"It will still take a long time."
Su Ming was not in a hurry.
Estimating that this Spirit Core condensation wouldn't be completed in just a few months.
The fleet was still quite a distance from the Sun Moon Continent, but the voyage was already halfway over.
In three months, Su Ming was confident he could break through.
After all, his experience was rich.
But while the fleet had three months left, he did not.
Just as Du Busi had reminded him, Su Ming was waiting for the Shura God to make his move.
If he was going to strike, it would definitely be at the deepest part of the ocean.
When the distance to both continents was at its maximum, that's when he would kill Su Ming!
That way, even if he resurrected, he would find no path to heaven nor door to earth.
Furthermore, even if the Shura God didn't strike, Su Ming himself would find an opportunity to die 'accidentally'.
He needed to leave the fleet and go ashore early.
During the fifty years he spent observing, although he intervened directly very little, spending most of the time using Millennium in an Instant on auto-pilot, he had still gained a grasp of the situation on the Sun Moon Continent through Ye Wushuang's experiences.
"A fifty-thousand-year Terrorclaw Bear, a hundred-thousand-year Blood Vine, a hundred-ninety-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor..."
These were all extremely suitable for him.
He was going to re-cultivate!
Re-activating Spirit Rings from beings like the Azure Bull Python was difficult, but Su Ming could still find substitutes.
The deep sea contained Deep Sea Pythons; using a Deep Sea Python to fill the Spirit Ring slot of the Azure Bull Python was completely feasible.
The so-called re-activation of Spirit Rings didn't strictly require the same species of Spirit Beast; it could also be one of the same origin.
In this aspect, Su Ming was somewhat different from Tang San.
After all, Tang San gave his Spirit Rings to others; the Spirit Ring slot remained, only the ring itself was gone. Su Ming, however, died and resurrected himself, and the Spirit Ring slots were restored with him upon resurrection, with only some basic characteristics preserved.
Indeed, Brother Shura did not disappoint Su Ming.
Seeing the God of Destruction's fury, he brazenly struck.
The honest man was no longer pretending.
He didn't care about face anymore.
A Shura Sword Qi descended. Despite the vast distance between the God Realm and the Douluo Continent, it was still incomparably sharp, causing the Titled Douluos in the fleet to collectively change their expressions.
Facing this sword strike again, Chen Xin's mind and spirit were severely impacted.
This sword qi, filled with killing intent, caused his Sword Heart to nearly shatter.
His face changed dramatically as he realized who this sword strike was targeting.
"Seven Kill Sword, emerge!"
The first time at Heaven Refinement City, no one had reacted in time, but this time was different.
Did they really think a deity was omnipotent?
In the current Douluo Continent, not even a deity could kill Su Ming from afar under the watchful eyes of so many Peak Douluos.
"Two Poles Static Domain!"
Ju and Gui were the first to react, activating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Elder Qing Luan let out a cry, countless feathers converging behind him into a long river that collided head-on with the bloody sword qi.
The feathers shattered one after another. The blood-red sword qi erupted with boundless killing intent, dyeing the surrounding space crimson, tearing through the layers of space within the Two Poles Static Domain.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
Chen Xin's sword arrived.
A giant sword, named Seven Kill but which had protected for a lifetime, clashed with the true sword of killing intent.
The giant sword shattered; killing intent invaded his body.
Chen Xin grunted, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, yet his entire sharpness intensified further.
Elder Qing Luan couldn't help but glance sideways at Chen Xin, secretly astonished.
"Chen Xin is about to take another step forward."
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
Chen Xin shouted loudly once more.
Elder Qing Luan assisted him, condensing countless feathers like sharp swords, merging them into Chen Xin's sword qi, forming a giant sword of three colors.
On the giant sword, cyan, white, and red intertwined.
The giant sword collided with the Shura Sword Qi.
When the giant sword shattered once more, the Two Poles Static Domain also broke.
Through these successive interceptions, the Shura Sword Qi had been weakened by thirty percent of its power.
The Shura Sword Qi descended. Su Ming stood still, not moving.
He was terrifyingly calm.
He did not throw a punch.
Because he truly couldn't block it.
Since that was the case, he simply wouldn't block it.
He wouldn't dodge either.
This time, he wanted to blatantly tell the Shura God:
"You cannot kill me."
Watching Su Ming neither resist nor evade, allowing himself to be torn apart by the sword qi, the four Peak Douluos who had exerted great effort felt they had been too serious earlier.
However, they didn't think they had been presumptuous.
On this voyage, with Su Ming accompanying them, they had an obligation to ensure his safety, especially since Su Ming was the one who had publicly revealed the ruins.
Simultaneously, for the sake of the dignity of the four Peak Douluos, they couldn't possibly stand by and do nothing.
Unfortunately, their opponent was a deity.
Even across planes, even while being watched, a sword qi condensed from afar still broke through the interception of the four Peak Douluos.
Su Ming died.
But he could still resurrect.
"Where did he resurrect?"
Du Busi was curious.
The Shura God was also curious.
Looking down from on high, holding the God Realm Core, he surveyed the continent.
His divine sense swept across the surrounding sea, searching for Su Ming's figure.
"Shura, you are too presumptuous!"
The God of Destruction, though late, had arrived.
Joining him in his angry shout was the Sea God.
"Shura, you seek death!"
The Sea God had a fiery temper and absolutely would not allow his seas to be meddled with by the Shura God.
The Shura God snorted coldly. Holding the God Realm Core, he faced the two alone, while simultaneously continuing to observe the lower world.
He was done pretending.
After being so restrained for so long, did people really think the Shura God was easy to push around?
I once slew the Dragon God with my sword!
Sun Moon Continent.
"Landing successful."
Su Ming's face was pale as he resurrected near the valley where the Blue Silver Emperor resided.
The purpose of anchoring here was self-evident.
He set off immediately and arrived at the valley.
"Human Spirit Master, leave at once."
The Blue Silver Emperor's voice came from within.
Su Ming paid no heed to the warning and insisted on entering the valley.
He looked at the Blue Silver Emperor and, without a word, unleashed a killing move.
This wasn't the Supreme Shockwave Fist.
It was a blood-red sword qi that tore through heaven and earth.
Su Ming's eyes shone with a golden light, tinged with a hint of rosy gold.
Above his head, a majestic phantom appeared, as if a deity overlooking the world.
Fate's Sorrow!
All defenses except those based on spirit power are nullified.
The sword qi descended.
The Blue Silver Emperor didn't even have time to utter a second word before the Shura Sword Qi extinguished its vitality.
Su Ming snorted coldly and looked up at the sky.
"Another sword strike?"
He called out.
The sky was completely silent, with no response for a long time.
