In truth, it had been watching Xue An for a long time.
As early as when Xue An had just proven his path to become an Immortal Venerable, it had begun to pay attention to him.
Along the way, it had witnessed all of Xue An’s performances.
Although Xue An could navigate through dangers safely and instantly kill opponents stronger than himself, Shuming did not take it seriously.
It always believed that all of this was merely because it hadn’t made a move.
As long as it made its own move, no matter how powerful Xue An was, he would obediently turn into dust.
But it was only today that it realized it was wrong!
And terribly wrong.
This Xue An was frighteningly powerful.
What was assumed to be a surefire strike, it was instead taken into this cage-like heaven and earth as soon as it showed up.
And now confronted with its threat, not only was he not afraid, but he was even more excited.
How could this not terrify Shuming?
Seeing Shuming’s pupils shrink suddenly, Xue An knew he was right.
"It seems I guessed right, so... do you have anything else to say?"
At this moment, Shuming knew survival was without hope; it could only fix its one remaining eye on Xue An.
"Xue An, you won’t have a good end, I’ll be waiting for you in hell!"
Puff!
That only eye was also pierced by Xue An.
Even though its tendons were already pulled out, Shuming still trembled all over in pain.
"Hell? Sorry, beings like you don’t even qualify to go to hell, you’re only fit to be burned into nothingness!"
With those words, a spark of fire rose from Shuming’s eye socket and quickly spread inward.
In the blink of an eye, Shuming was completely engulfed by the Red Lotus Karma Fire.
It tried to struggle but couldn’t, only able to transform all its hatred into the most venomous curse.
"Xue An, I curse you to die without a grave, never to be reincarnated through eternity!"
Xue An stood upright with effort, the dancing flames casting his figure to appear very grand.
"Thanks for the words, but before I die without a grave, you have already died first!"
Shuming finally made no more sound, and it would never make a sound again.
The blazing Red Lotus Karma Fire burst forth, completely refining its body.
But some things even the Red Lotus Karma Fire couldn’t melt.
Like these two light spheres falling into Xue An’s hand.
Just holding them in his hand, Xue An could feel the surging powers of time and destiny within.
These were precisely the time and destiny laws that Shuming governed.
At this moment, regardless of who it was, they could inherit these two laws just by crushing these two light spheres.
The temptation was undoubtedly immense.
It could be said that now, just by exerting a little force, Xue An’s strength could be vastly enhanced, even to become a truly omnipotent deity.
But Xue An didn’t do that.
He merely raised them gently in front of him, carefully observing.
The light spheres were smooth and luminous, especially under Xue An’s gaze, exuding a strange and alluring glow.
It seemed to be enticing Xue An to devour them.
But Xue An didn’t do that, instead, he coldly smiled and then without hesitation stored them away.
Xue An firmly believed in one thing, and that is, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
All the shortcuts you take will eventually reflect back in your life.
Cultivation is especially so.
Admittedly, after devouring this aggregate of laws, Xue An might gain some benefits, but what he would pay would undoubtedly be more than what he would gain.
This is why he’s always been able to remain sober.
However, these two light spheres are unusable for himself, but can be given to Yang Fu.
