The sound of air breaking whistled through the air. The reflection of the stone grew larger in Ou Yangming’s eyes. He took 2 deep breaths of cold air.
He thought to himself, ‘What kind of monster is this? Why did it jump out of this place?’ Moreover, he found that the aura on the giant’s body was too strong. It was far from what an ordinary Ruler could compare to. Even Long Ting was much weaker compared to him.
No matter who encountered such a monster, they would be afraid.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming’s hand movements were not slow at all, and he channeled his spiritual power to his entire body.
His Qi momentum was surging non-stop, and black lights condensed on his palms. He suddenly struck out two palms, and 2 black lights that looked exactly like his palms tumbled down from the sky, sweeping away the powerful aura.
With a bang, the huge rock was directly smashed into dust. It flew up and down and landed on the verdant ground. Some fell into the Long River of Time.
At Ou Yangming’s level, he could return to the basics. Whether it was spear techniques, palm techniques, or sword techniques, he could use them with ease.
To him, moves were just forms. More importantly, it was the method of using energy.
Of course, moves with inherited memories were not in this category. Moves such as the Solitary Thought Skill, Heaven’s Burial, and the Big Avalanche could not be generalized.
The giant sneered. “You really have some skills up your sleeves. No wonder you dared to disturb my sleep.” He took a step and chased after Ou Yangming and his companions. Wherever his footsteps landed, space seemed to have been frozen, revealing a desolate white color.
‘You guys go first; I have my way to escape.’ Ou Yangming sent a voice transmission to the 2 beasts.
As soon as he finished, he stopped, and a muffled thunder-like sound came from his body.
He circulated his physical strength to the extreme, and his well-proportioned body was filled with explosive power. He suddenly threw a punch forward. This punch was like a true dragon entering the sea, or like a fierce tiger returning to the mountain. Wherever the fist force passed, the sky and the ground would collapse, and space would continuously explode.
“Good timing!” The giant’s eyes lit up, and the star marks on his forehead lit up.
His heart beat like a drum, and the muscles on his body tightened. Green veins also popped out. They were sometimes bright and sometimes dark like squirming green insects.
The giant’s fist was like a small mountain, and he suddenly threw a punch forward. Under this extreme power, the space was as fragile as glass and was directly torn apart.
Where the 2 fists collided, a strange color appeared. It was neither black nor white. This was the unusual change when powers were condensed to the extreme.
It took only an instant before Ou Yangming’s fist force was torn apart. The sky within 3 kilometers from him shook. It would be fine if that was all but the fist force from the giant still did not stop as it smashed toward the young fellow’s head.
Ou Yangming’s expression changed. He used a mysterious step technique and staggered backward.
At the same time, he took out the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer and raised his hand to swing it. Several spear techniques of different styles were thrust out from his hand. Spear-lights condensed to block the attack.
It was then a purple light spot flew over from a distance.
This purple light spot carried a strong evil intent, and its killing intent was almost like substance.
Ou Yangming sensed it seriously for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a beautiful arc as he thought, ‘A dragon? Judging from the despicable aura, I can’t be wrong. Besides, it’s flying toward me at high speed. In that case, don’t blame me for passing the misfortune to you.’
He smiled innocently at the thought of this. If Long Ting saw the smile on his face, he would definitely know that someone was going to be doomed.
Without any hesitation, a fierce look appeared on Ou Yangming’s face.
He glared at the giant and said coldly, “Hmph, my big brother’s coming. Hurry up and run away. It’s not easy to cultivate, so don’t make a mistake!”
As he spoke, he spread out his body, glared at the giant with resentment, and sped toward the purple light.
The giant roared loudly, “One’s a weird Venerable One while the other’s just a Ruler. What do I have to be afraid of? How dare you break the rules by coming to the long river? You even disturbed my sleep! You’ll have to die!”
As he spoke, he quickly ran and pursued Ou Yangming.
Ou Yangming was meticulous, hence he quickly spotted the key of the giant’s words—breaking the rules.
His eyes flickered twice, and he thought to himself, ‘It seems that the heart of origins contains a great secret that no one knows.’
Well, it made sense. After all, the heart of origins hid the 3,000 great paths. It would not make sense If there were no secrets here.
At this time, 50 kilometers away from Ou Yangming, Long Chen halted. As he sensed the guide in his mind, a blood-red light flashed in his eyes, and his fingers subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth. He said softly, “What an intense spiritual Qi storm. It seems that the fella who killed my younger brother is right ahead and even had a conflict with someone else. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
As he spoke, a malevolent bone saber slid out from his long sleeve. The bone blade was slightly more than a meter long, and its shape was very irregular. It looked incredibly sharp.
Long Chen’s face lit up with joy, and he said with great vigor, “Hmph, you actually dare to escape in my direction. You’re simply courting death. You’re facing enemies from both sides now, so let’s see how you’re going to escape!”
It was worth noting that he had once slaughtered an entire world for his selfish desires. One could imagine how much killing intent he had. Now, the one who had died was his younger brother. This kind of enmity was exceptionally deep. How could he not take revenge?
As soon as he finished, he flashed and shot out like a roc pouncing on its prey.
He was getting closer and closer!
Long Chen’s face was contorted. The bone saber in his hand flickered with a cold light as he prepared for a fatal blow at any moment.
He could even feel the waves of spiritual Qi that were blowing in his face. His mind and heart became one as he entered the states of the thoroughly meticulous and the connection between Heaven and man.
All of a sudden, a joyful voice was heard. “Big Brother, I’ve lured this giant out. Come and help me. He’s too powerful, and I can’t beat him.”
Long Chen was stunned. There was only one thought left in his mind. ‘What’s going on?’
Soon, he understood that he had been tricked by the detestable young fellow.
The giant stared at Long Chen with wide eyes, and electric arcs flickered on his body. He said coldly, “Hmph, so you’re from the Dragons. No wonder you dared to send someone to wake me up!” As he spoke, his fist, which was as big as a small mountain, pressed down from the sky, causing an intense light to be twined around him. After the punch was thrown out, the entire world became desolate.
Long Chen was furious, but the pressure from the giant was simply too great.
He could only deal with the giant carefully and did not dare to be distracted. The hatred in his heart toward Ou Yangming, whom he regarded as an insignificant ant, had reached its peak.
Ou Yangming took the opportunity to leave the battlefield. His eyes turned black and white, and lights circulated around them. His left eye was pitch-black and deep like a pool of dead water; his right eye was spotless, and a boundless light shone out. It was as if with just a glance, one would be sucked into his soul.
This was the great path of Yin and Yang, which could evolve all living things.
He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared as if he had walked into darkness from the warm sunlight.
Even if one used one’s mental power, one would not be able to detect him because this was the power of the laws.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not immediately leave. Instead, he hid in the dark and waited quietly. If the dragon in front of him was seriously injured by the giant, he would not hesitate to strike, adding insult to injury. After all, the killing intent that Long Chen had shown earlier was too strong, so much so that even the young fellow was shocked. Since that was the case, he naturally would not show petty kindness. Besides, he had a bad impression of the Dragons.
When he was in the Spiritual Realm, he was hunted down by the Sky-devouring Evil Remnants many times. When he was in the Great Wide World, he was hunted down by the Dragons as well.
If it were not for his cautiousness, he would probably have died a long time ago.
Therefore, whenever he encountered a member of the Dragons, the killing intent in his heart would inevitably increase.
Long Chen was infuriated. He was not a soft-hearted person, and his heart was filled with malice. His eyes were filled with blood mists, and his aura was unceasing. By clenching the bone saber tightly with his fingers, he thrust it at the incoming fist.
Despite that, the giant was not afraid at all. Instead, he revealed a hint of contempt. He actually chose to use his physical body to fight against the magic weapon. His fist was enveloped with dense electric arcs.
“Boom…” The fist and the bone saber collided, and the sound of metals clashing against each other could be heard.
There was not a single mark on the enormous fist.
On the contrary, Long Chen only felt a vast power flowing from the bone saber to his palm and then his arm, causing his Qi and blood to surge.
He hurriedly pulled back the bone saber and took advantage of the situation to retreat. He thought to himself, ‘What a formidable physical body! His body’s much stronger than that of the Dragons. Could it be… Could it be the Ancient Shamans? But hasn’t that race been extinct since ancient times? How could one appear here?’
Especially when he saw the 3 star marks between the giant’s brows, he became even more certain.
At this point, he gnashed his teeth at the human who had framed him. He wished he could skin the young fellow and pull out his tendons.
Ou Yangming turned into a cloud of white mists and hid in the dark. He thought to himself, ‘It looks like the dragon powerhouse is on par with the giant. This is going to be a good show.’ Even he did not know that he had a deep malice toward the Dragons.
After taking a few steps back, Long Chen raised his fingers and pointed forward. His right hand drew in the air as he uttered softly, “Wind, rise!”
As soon as he said that, a violent storm appeared and forced its way into everyone’s sight.
1, 2… Countless waves!
A strong suction force burst out. Consequently, dust, sand, and even the sky were sucked in by the suction force.
The spiritual Qi in the heart of origins kept fusing into the suction force, causing it to grow bigger. As more spiritual Qi fused with the force, the suction force became greater, forming a vicious circle.
At this time, storms raged between the sky and the ground. Wherever they passed, the ground would turn into a mess, and all life would be extinguished.
Sizzling sounds could be heard in the air, causing numerous black ripples to appear. The black ripples were like the scales of a carp slithering across the lake. They grew faster until they tore a hole in the air. The hole was emitting cold air but it only took a moment for it to slowly heal.
This was the power of a Ruler. Just a casual attack from one contained the might of Heaven and Earth, and one’s power was unimaginable.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, the giant remained calm. He suddenly blew out a mouthful of green air, and the mists within 3 kilometers were instantly blown away. He snickered and said, “Is this all you can do as a member of the Dragons?” When he grabbed downward with his right hand, tremendous spiritual Qi burst out violently, forming a pair of humongous hands that forcefully tore apart the storms. With that, the storms between Heaven and Earth turned into nothingness.
