If the Great Wide World was like this, how long were the histories of other worlds?
The time was probably impossible to be calculated.
Ou Yangming was shocked, but the shock did not last for long. Soon, he calmed down again. Even so, no matter how powerful the Nine-sworded Ruler and the Heavenly Path Alliance were, the young fellow would not let them off in the future.
He still had some confidence. This confidence came from the fact that he had obtained the Crimson Ruler’s inheritance of the golden pills’ refinement technique.
The higher the level of contact, the more Ou Yangming felt the terror of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
As long as he refined the legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and reached the limit of the third step, he would have a great chance of breaking through beyond the laws.
Ou Yangming did not know what the world beyond the laws was like, but he still had some understanding of the mightiness of the realm above the laws.
In the Supreme Spear Principle, Xing Tian, who could destroy stars with a single strike, and Senior Bone Dragon, who only had a trace of life force left, could easily injure the Nine-sworded Ruler. They were definitely existences beyond the laws.
Once Ou Yangming reached that boundary, how formidable would he be?
Ou Yangming could not predict it, but he was sure that he would be very powerful. By then, he would definitely be able to kill the Nine-sworded Ruler, and he would also be able to face the Heavenly Path Alliance.
This was the path that Ou Yangming had to take in the future. He had made an oath, and he had to fulfill it!
As for the Phoenixes, Ou Yangming had a deep grudge against them. Their actions made him feel that he had been deceived. If they had not insisted on not opening the portal, Du Xie would not have died, and Senior Bone Dragon would not have lost his life to save him.
Therefore, Ou Yangming did not speak of the matter that Feng Xiang and the others had asked of him even though he knew the dragon emperor would certainly consider it carefully.
The Phoenixes had to give him an explanation.
After leaving the valley, Long Shao took Ou Yangming to his resting place. After returning to his room, the young fellow started to cultivate.
It would take at least 10 days to recover all of his true vitality. He still remembered that he would have a fight with that genius of the Dragons after half a month.
Long Hai’s strength was extraordinary and had reached the boundary of laws. Ou Yangming did not care about that, but it would be more secure if his strength was fully recovered.
The 10,000 Dragons Valley was one of the places with the most abundant spiritual Qi in the Great Wide World.
It took even shorter than expected. After just 8 days, Ou Yangming’s strength had already recovered to its peak.
At such a young age, Ou Yangming could already defeat a Ruler of the second step. Among his peers, almost no one could be considered his opponent.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was still not satisfied. The enemies he would have to face in the future had far surpassed the strength of the second step.
The humiliation of being hunted, the revenge for Du Xie, and the revenge for the Bone Dragon, Ou Yangming blamed all of it on the Nine-sworded Ruler.
“It’s time to reprepare my weapon.”
Ou Yangming looked at the 2 broken spears in the Long Feather Band and laughed bitterly. The Blood Spear Dragon Slayer had been destroyed.
After checking, he found that while there were many things in the Long Feather Band, there were very few precious refining materials. There was almost nothing that could satisfy his needs at the moment.
As compared to other weapons, long spears consumed more materials. In order to maintain a spear’s high quality, both the handle and the spearhead needed precious ores. Basically, the materials used to refine a long spear could be used to refine 2 swords, but Ou Yangming had no other choice.
Ou Yangming took out an ancient ring from his pocket. It was something he had obtained from the Crimson Ruler. At that time, he had taken away 7 of the Five Revolutions Golden Pill and the Crimson Ruler’s experience in refining pills. He had given everything else to Du Xie. Now that the clan master was dead, the young fellow never thought of taking the ring for himself even though there were many precious materials inside that were enough for him to refine many spears.
He took the ring back to give it to the other members of the Shaman Tribe. This was Du Xie’s legacy, and he could not leave it in the heart of origins.
Ou Yangming looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. With a flash of thought, he disappeared from the room.
As compared to before, the poisonous pill’s world had lost a lot of vitality. There were still 2 huge gaps in the sky and from below, one could see the interspatial disturbance inside.
This was the result of the Nine-sworded Ruler’s sword attack last time. A third-step Ruler was so terrifying. If Ou Yangming had not left in time, the poisonous pill’s world would have been reduced to ashes.
“Lil’ Ming!”
Not far away, Big Yellow was running quickly on the ground, whereas Lil’ Red was flying over like a sharp sword.
There were also other companions such as Fat Antelope, the leopard, the Wutong Tree, and the spirit turtle. All of them quickly surrounded Ou Yangming. After the last time he left, there was no news from him, which made everyone very worried.
If not for the Wutong Tree assuring the others that Ou Yangming would be fine, Lil’ Red and Big Yellow would have wanted to get out through the interspatial disturbance.
“I told you that Lil’ Ming is fine. This space and Lil’ Ming are one entity. The space is still here, so he must be alive.” The Wutong Tree let out a sigh of relief. These days, he needed to comfort Big Yellow and Lil’ Red every day, and he needed to stop them from trying to get out of the chaotic space.
“I’m sorry. I’ve been trying to recover my true vitality these few days. I forgot to tell you guys that I’m safe,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.
“Lil’ Ming, how was it? Who was that terrifying guy outside the last time? Why did he attack us?”
Big Yellow asked a few questions in a row. It was evident that he had been very worried during this period.
“It’s a long story. That person is called the Nine-sworded Ruler. He’s a conferred Ruler at the third step of the laws,” Ou Yangming briefly explained what had happened recently.
When they heard that the Nine-sworded Ruler was going to kill Ou Yangming, everyone became nervous. That was a powerhouse at the third step and an invincible existence in the Great Wide World. How did the young fellow escape?
Ou Yangming told them about the appearance of the Bone Dragon and the situation in the Dragons. Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Only Lil’ Red did not look good. His face was pale as he looked at Ou Yangming and said, “Lil’ Ming, I’m sorry…”
He knew that if the Phoenixes had opened the passage, everything that happened after that would not have happened, and Ou Yangming would not have nearly lost his life.
There were also Du Xie and the Bone Dragon, who were very important to Ou Yangming. They would not have lost their lives if not for that.
“Lil’ Red, I’ve said that this matter has nothing to do with you. You’re a member of the Phoenixes, but you can’t represent the entire Phoenixes. I’ll definitely seek justice for this matter in the future. I hope that when that happens, you won’t make things difficult for me,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.
“When that happens, I’ll help you!” Lil’ Red’s gaze was filled with determination. This matter was the fault of the Phoenixes. He was very clear about this.
“Alright.”
Ou Yangming nodded in gratification.
Du Jian and a few other Great Shamans walked over from afar. Ou Yangming sighed. What would come would come. Du Jian walked over and asked somewhat anxiously, “Lord Ou, how’s our clan master?”
Everyone had clearly seen that fearsome attack the last time. Lil’ Red and the others were worried about Ou Yangming, whereas the people of the Shaman Tribe were worried about their clan master’s safety.
Ou Yangming had a ghastly look on his face, and he did not know what to say.
Du Jian’s heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, “Lord, what happened to our clan master? Is he injured?”
The other Shamans also looked uneasy. Based on Ou Yangming’s expression, they had a bad feeling about this.
Ou Yangming sighed and said with a pained voice, “Senior Du Xie has… Has fallen.”
‘Fallen?’
The Ancient Shamans looked pale. They found it hard to believe this. Their clan master had led them for tens of thousands of years, but now he had fallen?
“No, no. Lord Ou, you must be joking with us.” Du Jian did not want to admit the news.
Ou Yangming continued, “I’m not spouting nonsense. Senior Du Xie has really fallen. He died at the hands of the third-step Ruler, the Nine-sworded Ruler. He… He was even beheaded.”
His voice was sharp, and his eyes were bloodshot when he spoke. Every time he recalled Du Xie’s miserable state, he felt as if tens of thousands of arrows pierced through his heart.
He had to take revenge. He had to kill the Nine-sworded Ruler. Otherwise, this inner demon would torture him for the rest of his life.
Ou Yangming’s words shocked both Du Jian and the others. They finally believed this fact. The clan master had died and left them forever. All the indomitable men howled and cried.
The young fellow said in a deep voice, “At that time, the poisonous pill’s world was attacked. When I went out, I saw that Senior Du Xie was already dead. The enemy was too strong. If not for someone saving me, I would’ve been killed as well.
“I’ll definitely take revenge for this!” Ou Yangming said resolutely.
“Revenge—we must take revenge!”
Du Jian and the others also shouted. They knew how frightening their enemy was, but everyone was fearless.
The ancestral teachings of the Ancient Shamans reverberated in their hearts. They fought Heaven and Earth and never retreated!
After a long time, they barely managed to calm down. Ou Yangming gave the interspatial ring that Du Xie had left behind to Du Jian.
“These are all the relics left behind by Senior Du Xie. Keep them well. Perhaps they’ll be of help to you in the future.”
Du Jian kept the interspatial ring but did not look at it. He turned around and left. His desolate back view was filled with sadness.
Ou Yangming raised his head and let out a long sigh. He seemed to have lost all his strength. He recalled the time when someone told him about Old Craftsman’s accident. Back then, he was also in the same despair.
The difference was that Old Craftsman did not die. Ou Yangming did his best to get the life-prolonging golden pill and let the old man regain his vitality. On the other hand, the Shaman Tribe’s clan master would never come back.
After a long silence, Ou Yangming left the place and returned to his room in the 10,000 Dragons Valley. He got up and walked toward the door.
“It’s time to find some ores.”
Ou Yangming pushed the door open.
