Chapter 1306: Black Water
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Rock Giant was tall and sturdy, and he made clanging sounds as it walked. This giant did not have any intelligence, and his only purpose was to block all those who wanted to enter the tomb.
His fist tore through the air, bringing with it the sound of the wind.
Ruler Shanhai looked straight in Ou Yangming’s direction. He wanted to see how the young fellow would choose.
Ou Yangming did not choose to dodge. In other words, he planned to rely on his own body to fight back.
Ruler Shanhai shook his head silently. Becoming famous as a young fellow had indeed made him very confident. This time, Ou Yangming would probably be at a disadvantage.
Since Ruler Shanhai had personally experienced the strength of the Rock Giant, he naturally knew how powerful the giant was. A third-step almighty powerhouse probably would not be able to stop this giant.
Of course, this did not mean that the giant was more powerful than a powerhouse in the third step. The main reason was that a challenger would be limited to a range of 100 meters. Even if one had all sorts of methods, one would not be able to use them. One could only fight head-on with the giant. Apart from powerhouses that were strong in close combat, the others would definitely be at a disadvantage.
“Be careful!”
The fist was already in front of Ou Yangming, but he still did not move. This made Duan He unable to help but cry out.
Ou Yangming curled his mouth and at the last moment, he suddenly swung his fist.
Boom!
A violent air current spread out from Ou Yangming and the Rock Giant.
When it reached 100 meters, it disappeared without a trace.
It looked calm but only those within 100 meters knew how terrifying the explosion was.
“How’s the situation?” The people outside widened their eyes.
“H-how is this possible?” Ruler Shanhai looked ahead in disbelief.
After the punch, Ou Yangming’s body did not move, but the giant puppet staggered and took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.
“This is too…” Ruler Shanhai was shocked.
This giant was clearly at a disadvantage. How did Ruler Ming do it?
Duan He and the others were also shocked. This was the first time they had seen the giant puppet retreat.
Even when facing Ruler Shanhai, that guy was still indomitable and powerful.
‘Is Ruler Ming really so powerful?’
Wutong narrowed his eyes and was also amazed.
He had fought with this giant before and knew how fearsome he was. He had only brought Ou Yangming here to give it a try. He had never thought that his master’s strength would reach such a level.
The Rock Giant did not have any emotions or intelligence.
After the punch was repelled, he raised his stone saber and suddenly slashed down.
This slash blotted out the sky and the ground, directly splitting the space in half.
The light from the saber passed through Ou Yangming’s body like lightning, but the young fellow was only an illusion.
“Where is he?” The few people who had their hearts in their throats just now saw that it was only a shadow that had been cleaved apart, so they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. Nonetheless, Ruler Ming had disappeared without a trace.
“He’s over there!”
Very quickly, they saw Ou Yangming. In that instant, the young fellow, who had disappeared, appeared behind the Rock Giant.
“The law of space!” Ruler Shanhai exclaimed.
Only the law of space could have such an effect. Ruler Ming turned out to be a controller of that law.
‘No wonder he’s famous throughout the Great Wide World at such a young age. He’s truly a peerless genius.’
Ou Yangming stood behind the Rock Giant and smiled contemptuously. Before the giant could react, he suddenly kicked out.
“Boom!” The Rock Giant’s huge body fell to the ground.
He simply could not withstand such a terrifying force. After falling, he did not get up. Instead, he gradually merged with the ground, and a ripple flashed in the air. Ou Yangming walked into the cave.
“Ruler Ming, we…” Looking at Ruler Ming’s back, Ruler Shanhai could not help but ask.
The sudden appearance of this big tomb was definitely magical. He wanted to go in and take a look at such a good opportunity.
Nevertheless, the Rock Giant had been defeated by Ruler Ming. Without his consent, Ruler Shanhai did not dare to be careless. After all, the strength displayed by the other party was too frightening. It could kill him in an instant.
“If you want to come in, follow me, but I won’t protect your lives.” Ou Yangming’s voice was heard.
He had already entered the cave, and Wutong quickly followed.
Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, Ruler Shanhai’s eyes were filled with joy. He hurriedly followed. Duan He and the others looked at each other and walked toward the cave entrance too.
The inside of the tomb was empty, and the surroundings were pitch black.
Despite that, the people who came in from the outside were at least in the second step, so they could clearly see the surroundings.
The surroundings were filled with strange rocks, and these rocks seemed to be filled with traces of time.
Everyone carefully observed their surroundings while looking ahead.
“Is that the sound of flowing water?” Wutong whispered.
Ou Yangming also heard it and walked over there.
Soon, Ou Yangming saw a small river. The ends of both sides of the river could not be seen. The few of them spread out in all directions. After a while, they returned.
“Ruler Ming, this river encircles the surroundings. If you want to continue moving forward, you have to think of a way to pass through here.”
Duan He said respectfully.
A small river was only a few hundred meters long. Among the powerhouses present, any one of them could take a step to the other side, but it was surely not that simple.
Everyone could feel that there was a strong force in this small river.
This force was powerful, forcing them to be unable to fly, so they could only walk through the river water.
The river water was also as black as ink, and it looked terrifying. It was like a door to hell, so no one dared to try it.
Ruler Shanhai frowned and said, “This black water is unusual. We should be careful. Why don’t we fill in a path? It’ll be safer that way.”
“Right.” The eyes of Duan He and the others lit up.
They did not dare to rashly go over. This black river water was shocking.
If they filled in a path, it would not be a problem.
This river water did not seem deep, so it should not be a difficult thing.
“Give it a try then.” Ou Yangming smiled faintly.
He felt that it would not be so simple. If they were to randomly fill up a path, the design of this river would lose its meaning.
The mysterious power that covered the Barbarian King Mountain had lasted for countless years and had not dissipated. The things that they encountered in this place were also incomparably magical. They could not cross the river so easily.
There were many weird rocks in this tomb. Duan He and the others easily moved a few of them over.
The rocks fell into the river, but they did not splash.
Instead of sinking to the bottom, they melted instantly and became a part of the black water.
“How could this be?” Duan He was stunned.
He kicked the other few rocks in, but the same thing happened. They knew that their plan to use the rocks to create a path had failed completely.
“Are we really going to walk through it?”
Duan He and the others had panicked expressions in their eyes. They did not have the courage to do so after seeing the fate of those rocks. They were all powerhouses in the second step and were masters behind first-rate sects, but they were still very insignificant in this big tomb.
Ruler Shanhai frowned slightly. He walked to the side of the river and took out a treasure sword from his interspatial bag.
This was a Fine Grade treasure sword.
If it was placed in an auction house, it would be the most precious treasure. Having said that, Ruler Shanhai did not care about it. He had to test just how corrosive the black water was.
Ruler Shanhai placed the treasure sword in. After a while, he took it out again.
His eyes were filled with shock. The part of the sword that had been dipped into the black water had rotted. Not only that but the part that had been dipped into the black water was also continuing to corrode. Soon, only a third of it remained.
“This…”
Ruler Shanhai threw the sword away. His eyes were filled with shock. This black water was too terrifying. This was a Fine Grade magic treasure.
He looked at the black water with fear in his eyes.
This thing could even corrode a Fine Grade magic treasure. He did not dare to try it out. His body was not as strong as a Fine Grade magic treasure. He had become almighty, and his body could be greatly strengthened by spiritual power, but he still did not dare to try it out.
Very few people would risk their lives for an unknown possibility.
There was no need to mention Duan He and the other powerhouses who were in the second step. They took a step back and were also frightened by the black water.
“Master, it’s too dangerous here,” Wutong said in a deep voice.
He could feel that from the moment they entered the tomb, they had been placed in the rules of the game.
The leader of the game was very mighty. He must have surpassed the third step.
“If I don’t try, how will I know if it’s dangerous?”
Ou Yangming still had a smile on his face. Fortune came from danger. The more dangerous the place, the more rewards there would be.
He slowly walked to the side of the river, took out his spear, and plunged it into the river.
If even this Middle Grade Taoist Tool could not withstand the corrosive power of the black water, he would turn around and leave.
However, the possibility of that was not very high. If even a Middle Grade Taoist Tool could not withstand it, no one in the Great Wide World would be able to walk through the river.
After a long time, Ou Yangming brought the spear up. The spear was not stained with dirt and looked brand new. This also meant that the corrosive power of the black water had a limit. At the very least, a Middle Grade Taoist Tool could not be destroyed.
Ever since fusing with 10,000 Dripping Blood Stones and countless Ancient Demons’ blood essences, Ou Yangming’s body had become stronger than a Middle Grade Taoist Tool. Compared to a High Grade Taoist Tool, he was only slightly weaker.
In that case, the black water would not be able to hurt him.
Looking at the other side of the river, Ou Yangming had made a decision in his heart.
“Ruler Ming, what grade is your weapon?”
Ruler Shanhai looked at the brand new spear in shock. He had just used a Fine Grade magic treasure to experiment, but the result was that it was instantly destroyed.
“A Middle Grade Taoist Tool,” Ou Yangming answered.
“Uh…”
Duan He and the others gasped. They looked at the silver spear. This thing was actually a Taoist Tool, and it was even of Middle Grade.
That said, what happened next shocked them even more.
That was because Ou Yangming had jumped into the black water.
