In the heart of origins, most of the places were sunny and filled with rich spiritual Qi.
While Feng Xinxiao absorbed the law of slaughter, Ou Yangming took small steps, stepping on dead branches and leaves as he walked slowly through the forest. Big Yellow followed behind him while Lil’ Red stood on Big Yellow’s back. The little red bird raised his chin slightly and looked at the white figure in front of him with emotion.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming stomped and crushed a spirit turtle.
His heart thumped, and he faintly had a bad premonition.
“Is it because of that dragon?” He glanced behind him and muttered softly. At this time, he still did not know that Feng Xinxiao had also entered the heart of origins.
Big Yellow rushed over and asked with a concerned voice. “What’s wrong?” Lil’ Red also looked at Ou Yangming..
“Nothing, I’m probably overthinking.” Ou Yangming took a breath of spiritual Qi, and his body felt comfortable again.
Although he said so, the worry in his heart did not decrease at all. On the contrary, it became much more intense. After understanding the laws, every warning in his mind meant that something big was going to happen.
He shook his head and walked forward again.
Big Yellow took 3 steps and walked to his side. He grinned and asked, “Lil’ Ming, the crisis of the Ancient Shamans has passed. Why do you… Why do you seem to have something on your mind still?”
Ou Yangming patted his shoulder and responded in a low voice, “You’re overthinking.” He felt warm. There were very few people who could talk to him like this. Moreover, as his strength increased, fewer people could do that.
Even King Kong and the goshawk could not ask him such a question.
Big Yellow did not buy Ou Yangming’s response.
After the disturbance, the worry in his heart lessened, and he was not too worried.
Indeed, that was the truth. With his strength at the moment, even if he could not defeat his enemy, he could always escape.
Not long after, thunderous explosions set off invisible airwaves, blowing away the clouds in the sky. A burst of dazzling white light came from the distance.
Looking over, white electric arcs fell from the sky and connected into one. It was as if tens of thousands of lightning dragons were striking the earth, and the entire world sank into a sea of lightning.
Big Yellow took a deep breath and asked in surprise, “The origin of thunder should be hidden here, right?”
“Yes, judging from the power, I suppose so.” Ou Yangming clapped his hands and was also looking forward to it.
Thunder was known for its centrality, grandeur, and ferocity. It was the nemesis of all evil in the world. He really wanted to see what the origin of thunder looked like.
Lil’ Red flapped his wings, looking at the boundless thunder pool, and a feeling of insignificance arose in his heart. Even if the Dragons and the Phoenixes were favored by the world, in front of the world’s origins, they were still as small as ants.
At the spur of the moment, a red light shot over from afar.
It landed 3 kilometers away from Ou Yangming. It was Long Chen.
His body was enveloped with a strong murderous aura. He sneered and said, “Hmph, you really can run. You made me chase you for so long. Damn it.”
Ou Yangming’s face darkened slightly. He looked over with a harmless expression. “Uhm… Senior, what happened last time was indeed a misunderstanding. I solemnly apologize to you,” he said with a serious expression and a sincere attitude.
“Apologize?” Long Chen scoffed.
It would have been fine if Ou Yangming had not mentioned this matter but the moment he did, it was like knocking over a barrel of gunpowder. Long Chen had suffered a lot at the hands of that Ancient Shaman.
The cold air on Long Chen’s body became more intense. Snowflakes floated around him and could freeze the entire space. He stared fixedly at Ou Yangming. “You have the smell of my brother’s blood on you. A blood debt can only be repaid with blood.” He did not ask for the reason nor did he try to understand what happened. As long as he was sure that the young fellow did it, the young fellow would have to die. Whether it was reasonable or not, he would not care.
This was long Chen. He was overbearing and stubborn.
If it were not for his personality, he would not have destroyed a small world and been exiled by the Dragons.
“Aren’t you going to ask what happened?” Ou Yangming glanced at him.
“What happened? Hmph, it doesn’t make a difference whether I ask or not. Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, you have to die. I never find a reason to kill people. It’s unnecessary trouble. Not only you, but all the people who are related to you will be implicated.” Long Chen paused, his voice became colder as if it was mixed with ice shards.
After a while, he continued, “These people died because of you. I’ll make sure you won’t get peace even after you die.”
Hearing these words, the smile on Ou Yangming’s face faded bit by bit. He took a step forward as if he was covered in a layer of frost, and he praised, “The Dragons are indeed overbearing; you always implicate the 9 races. However, I really don’t understand. Where did you get your confidence from? From your cultivation base as a Ruler?” His voice became louder, and the void was stirred. A domineering intent was contained in his voice as it swept out in all directions.
Big Yellow and Lil’ Red hurriedly retreated.
They knew that a battle of this level was not something they could participate in.
If they were not careful, they might even be hit by the aftershocks of the battle and be heavily injured.
Ou Yangming’s center of gravity was lowered, and he soared into the air. He stomped hard and wherever his feet stepped, cracks appeared in the space. They were densely packed and interweaved into a net. From afar, it looked like a piece of broken glass hanging in the sky.
His speed had also reached a point where it was impossible for the naked eye to catch him. It was as if he had teleported.
“So fast!” Long Chen was shocked. He took 2 steps and got into a defensive stance.
Hee was proud but since his opponent could kill a Ruler, he was sure that there was something extraordinary about him.
Long Chen was a God-favored one. His mind was like a demon, and he would not underestimate his opponent. Even a lion would use its full strength to kill a rabbit, not to mention that his opponent was a horned dragon.
Therefore, he put on a show just to test his opponent. After he got to the bottom of the situation, he would kill him in one strike.
While Long Chen’s thoughts were churning in his mind, his movements were not slow either. He took half a step back with his right foot. His strong body was agile, and he twisted his body and raised his right hand. He gently pushed it outwards, and a series of collision sounds gathered.
Spiritual Qi exploded, suppressing the rumbling of thunder not far away.
Long Chen staggered and took 3 steps back, his eyes full of solemnity.
After this collision, he immediately confirmed that the young fellow was not inferior to him in terms of physical body regardless of his cultivation base. In fact, the fellow was much stronger than him.
When Long Chen thought of this, his heart trembled.
One had to know that the most powerful aspect of the Dragons and the Phoenixes was not their secret techniques but their physical bodies. Nonetheless, he was at a disadvantage at this moment when it came to physical strength. How could this not shock him?
“Aren’t you going to kill me? Come on!” Ou Yangming snorted and turned his fist into a palm. He turned his body and drew an arc. He slapped down from above, gathering spiritual Qi and pressing it toward Long Chen’s neck. His killing intent surged at this time. If this attack was made, even a Ruler would not feel good.
After all, Ou Yangming’s physical strength was too terrifying.
Long Chen merged his mental power into the universe and raised his left hand to block.
At the same time, 9 spurs slid out from his right sleeve. These spurs were black like black gold. They were covered with strange patterns. With a careful look, they actually formed a complete white bone pattern. It was not very clear, but it could still be distinguished.
Long Chen made a gesture with his right hand, and the patterns on the 9 spurs lit up as if they were being pulled toward Ou Yangming.
He was certain that if the human in front of him had even the slightest bit of contempt, the spurs would definitely cause him to suffer a great loss. He might even have a chance of winning.
This was because the 9 spurs were refined from the spines of 9 deceased Rulers. They were then nourished with blood essence for 100 years. They carried an indescribable peculiarity and had caused many Rulers to suffer a great loss.
Long Chen gently rolled up his long sleeves, and the 9 spurs were like venomous snakes that hissed their tongues as they whistled toward Ou Yangming. They were aimed at his heart. The auras on them were deep and unfathomable, and murderous intent and resentment were entangled with each other. It was as if one was surrounded by evil spirits and found it difficult to break free.
Ou Yangming also felt a faint sense of danger from the spurs. He hurriedly stopped his steps and attacks, where he defended instead.
Long Chen sighed in his heart. ‘What a pity.’ He shook his head and muttered in his heart. ‘What a sharp sense of smell. He’s much stronger than many Rulers’. In actuality, he had put on an act when he raised his left hand to block the attack. He wanted Ou Yangming to continue attacking and face the 9 spurs head-on. In this way, Long Chen could take advantage of the opportunity to find his opponent’s weakness. Nevertheless, his efforts were in vain because the young fellow stepped back.
“Things will change if we delay this. Let’s end this battle first.” Ou Yangming’s face was as cold as ice.
He flipped his wrist and took out an explosive arrow. This was obtained from the precious promise he made with Lil’ Red.
Ou Yangming drew in the air with his right hand, and a 1-meter-long horn bow condensed out of thin air. With a slight movement of his steps, he retreated and increased the distance between him and Long Chen. As he pulled the bowstring and shot the arrow, incomparably majestic killing intent was released, and his Qi momentum was locked on to his target. In the blink of an eye, the astonishing arrow successfully accumulated power and turned into a dazzling ray of light. Mists dispersed into the feather arrow and carved a white pattern on it. It was faintly discernible.
An indomitable aura was emitted from Ou Yangming’s body!
Long Chen felt as if he was being targeted by a vicious beast from the primordial era. Every cell in his body began to tremble.
There was only one thought left in his mind. ‘What… What kind of arrow is that?’ His heart was filled with extreme fear. It was as if as long as this arrow was shot, he would die, and his path would disappear. He would completely fall.
“Boom…”
Ou Yangming pulled the bowstring. The explosive arrow let out a light ring. It was like a meteor that had shattered the starry sky. It carried a fiery red tail as it pounced toward Long Chen.
The Qi momentums of the two had long been entangled together. There was no way for them to break free. Besides, this arrow was aimed at Long Chen’s soul, so he could only face it head-on.
It was the same explosive arrow but when it was shot from Ou Yangming’s hand, it was absolutely different from when Lil’ Red shot one. The difference in their powers was at least more than 10 times.
The 9 spurs could not even block the arrow for a breath of time. They instantly turned into ashes and scattered in the air.
Wherever the arrow passed, spiritual Qi reversed, and the world wailed. The mountain peak not far away collapsed inch by inch. On a 3-kilometers-tall cliff, countless tiny holes appeared under this tyrannical aura. They collapsed downward, and rocks pierced through the sky. Even in the big river that was 3 kilometers away, water shot up into the sky, revealing the riverbed at the bottom.
Given that its momentum alone was so mighty, it was evident how powerful the arrow was.
