Chapter 1286: Continued to Fuse
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A powerful mental power surged into Ou Yangming’s head.
This powerful force could instantly destroy a powerhouse’s soul. Chi Ming wanted to check Ou Yangming’s memories. From his point of view, given that this young fellow had the strength to rival third-step powerhouse at such a young age, he must have an incredible inheritance.
Of course, Chi Ming’s guess was also correct.
“Don’t try to resist. If you do, you’ll be even more miserable.” Chi Ming’s gaze was malevolent.
“Filthy thief, you’re delusional!” Ou Yangming mobilized all of his mental power to resist.
Chi Ming was very strong, but Ou Yangming could not compromise because behind him was a bottomless abyss. If he took a step back, he might be crushed into pieces.
The 2 mental powers were fighting in Ou Yangming’s mind. He could feel that his soul was being damaged. The swelling pain in his mind almost made him faint.
Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and persevered.
Chi Ming’s mental power was increasing bit by bit. He was very formidable. A powerhouse who was a half step to the Heavenly Rank was much stronger than him in every aspect.
Gradually, Ou Yangming began to lose.
His mental power, which was comparable to a third-step powerhouse, was only able to hold on for a while, and he was soon defeated. Almost instantly, his mind was occupied by Chi Ming’s mental power.
“Soul-sucking!” Ou Yangming roared loudly.
A powerful suction force suddenly appeared in his body, causing Chi Ming to be unable to control his body for a short while.
The resistance became stronger, causing Chi Ming to become even more excited.
His eyes carried a fiery glow as he muttered.
“Very good, very good.”
If it was any other third-step almighty powerhouse, they would have been controlled by Chi Ming at this moment. This young fellow’s resistance was so powerful, which meant that his inheritance was even greater. Furthermore, Chi Ming also discovered a problem. This young fellow was not in the third step and was merely a Ruler in the second step.
Unbelievable!
Even though Chi Ming was the third figure of the Heavenly Dao Union and had lived for countless years, he had never seen a little br*t in the second step defeat a powerhouse at the peak of the third step.
Moreover, Ou Yangming was able to block him for so long.
Chi Ming grew increasingly excited as he saw the hope of the Heavenly Rank in Ou Yangming.
The Heavenly Rank was the common pursuit of all the powerhouses in the world.
Once one reached that boundary, one would not be restricted by the reincarnation of the world and would have an endless life.
Although there was only a mountain between a half step to the Heavenly Rank and the true Heavenly Rank, only a powerhouse of the former would know the difference between the two.
Without fortuitous encounters and heaven-defying luck, the boundaries were separated by numerous worlds.
Beads of sweat dripped down Ou Yangming’s head. His face was twisted, and his mind was in a mess.
Chi Ming was too mighty. Even if Ou Yangming used the Soul-sucking Art, it could only alleviate the pain. The young fellow was miserable. He could only watch his mental power collapse and be robbed of all his memories by his opponent, becoming a soulless puppet.
“No!” Ou Yangming shouted loudly.
Chi Ming narrowed his eyes. “I said, give up. You can’t stop me.”
“I don’t believe it!”
Ou Yangming mobilized all his mental power, but he still could not change the outcome. He did not want to accept his fate. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but it was all in vain.
His mental power collapsed. Only a small part of it was squeezed into a corner, but it could not come out at all.
Chi Ming had a smile in his eyes. He wanted to see what kind of fortuitous encounter this young fellow had obtained.
Just as Chi Ming was checking Ou Yangming’s memories, the world was pitch black, and a large eight trigram map suddenly appeared in the sky.
Chi Ming was shocked. ‘What’s going on? Wasn’t I checking this fella’s memories? How did I suddenly come to this damned place?’
The eight trigram map was divided into black and white on the ground. It began to slowly rotate. In the middle of the formation, a white-bearded old man appeared out of thin air.
“Who are you! Why are you in the fella’s body?” Chi Ming’s eyes were filled with wariness.
He realized that he could not see through the old man in the middle of the eight trigram map at all. That person’s gaze was incomparably deep like a black hole, making it impossible for people to find a way out. This was the first time Chi Ming had seen such a situation.
“If you seek the theory of Yin and Yang, join the Taichi Sect!”
The old man suddenly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Chi Ming’s heart.
Chi Ming’s eyes were as wide as bronze bells.
“He’s…”
With just one sentence, Chi Ming’s mental power that had entered Ou Yangming’s body disappeared.
Ou Yangming’s remaining mental power once again took the initiative. He teleported away from where he was. This time, Chi Ming did not chase after him.
After Ou Yangming had disappeared, Chi Ming’s eyes gradually opened.
“Puff…” He spat out a large mouthful of blood.
That sentence had not only damaged his mental power but also caused his main body to suffer serious injuries.
An order, once given, would be strictly enforced. That was what it was!
Chi Ming looked in the direction where Ou Yangming had disappeared, his eyes filled with fear. He seemed to understand why that young fellow had the strength of a powerhouse at the peak of the third step at such a young age. It turned out that there was such a terrifying existence hidden in his body.
Suddenly thinking of something, Chi Ming’s face slightly changed.
“No, no matter who’s behind him, that thing must be taken back!”
Chi Ming regulated his breathing for a moment, and his body recovered a little. Then, he chased after the young fellow again.
Despite that, he could not find any trace of Ou Yangming anymore. That young fellow seemed to have disappeared into thin air, completely disappearing from this world.
“Damn it!” Chi Ming clenched his fists.
He said fiercely, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have tried to snatch his opportunity. I should’ve obtained that thing first. Now that I’ve aroused his vigilance, it won’t be easy to find him next time.
“Forget it. The Immortal Path to Heaven will open in 2 years, and he’ll surely appear at that time. Next time, I absolutely can’t let him run away. I must get that thing back.” Chi Ming scanned the surroundings, then he slowly disappeared into the void as if he had never appeared before.
Starlight City, inside the Yangming Villa.
Wutong’s expression changed slightly. He did not have the time to explain. He suddenly transformed into his true form and absorbed the mountain villa into his body.
His body rose from the ground and quickly disappeared into the void.
“Wutong, What’s wrong?” Big Yellow noticed that something was wrong and asked.
Wutong said as he flew, “Master is in trouble. He encountered a very powerful enemy and is afraid that that person would come looking for us, so he asked me to bring you to a hidden place to hide.”
“Is Lil’ Ming alright?” Big Yellow asked worriedly.
“The situation is very bad, but Master is temporarily safe. I know a place. Let’s go there to hide first.” Wutong sped up again.
The sudden disappearance of the Yangming Villa did not attract the attention of others. Even the people of the Seven Stars Pavilion only discovered the situation here after 2 days.
Of course, other than Ou Yangming and Wutong, no one knew where they went.
In the depths of overlapping mountains, a wild rabbit seemed to be frightened by something as it ran quickly through the forest.
There was a tiny speck of dust on the grey fur beneath its neck.
This was the transformation of the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Enlightenment Pavilion. Ou Yangming had used it to escape Chi Ming’s pursuit. No one would have thought that a powerhouse in the third step would hide on an ordinary wild rabbit.
Within the Enlightenment Pavilion, Ou Yangming gradually opened his eyes.
A streak of white Qi flew out of his mouth.
“It has been almost a year. My soul has almost recovered.”
The last time he fought with Chi Ming, Ou Yangming’s injuries were extremely serious. Not only had his soul suffered serious injuries, but his mental power was also miserable. There was only a spark left.
Ou Yangming ate some medicinal pills and spent another year before his body recovered to its peak condition.
A year in the Enlightenment Pavilion was only 3 and a half days for the outside world.
Now that OU Yangming’s powers of laws had reached a bottleneck, it was almost impossible for him to break through here. Having said that, he discovered a new benefit of the Enlightenment Pavilion. Healing his injuries in this place could save a lot of time.
Ou Yangming’s body had recovered, but he did not plan to go out.
Who knew if Chi Ming was still looking for him outside? Going out at this time was tantamount to walking into a trap. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ou Yangming planned to fuse a part of the Dripping Blood Stones first and refine a new weapon.
Without the Reincarnation Spear, Ou Yangming’s strength was greatly reduced. He could not perform the moves in the Supreme Spear Principle perfectly. This result was difficult for him to accept.
Taking out jars of Ancient Demons’ blood essences from his interspatial ring, Ou Yangming’s lips curled into a smile. These blood essences were almost all of the stock in the top 10 chambers of commerce. They should be enough for him to use for a period of time.
Ou Yangming had a lot of Dripping Blood Stones, so much so that almost everything from the long mineral vein was taken away by him.
The Dripping Blood Stones that he had given to the Ancient Shamans were more than 10,000.
As Ou Yangming circulated the Sky-devouring Art, his body glowed with a faint bloody light.
Then, he cut a wound on his leg and put a Dripping Blood Stone into it.
With the help of the blood essences and the Sky-devouring Art, the pain of fusing with the Dripping Blood Stones was greatly reduced.
Of course, there would still be some pain after that.
1, 2…
Ou Yangming repeated this day and night.
Time flew by, and no one knew how much time had passed.
The Ancient Demons’ blood essences in front of Ou Yangming decreased bit by bit, and his body seemed to have grown a size.
5,235.
5,236.
…
Once Ou Yangming fused with 5,251 stones, he suddenly opened his eyes. He let out a long breath, and the blood and Qi in his body gradually disappeared.
Ou Yangming’s body had grown to a height of 1.9 meters, and his arms and legs were full of muscles, looking full of explosive power.
He had successfully completed the grand transformation from a delicate little boy to a big, muscular man.
The Ancient Demons’ blood essences had all disappeared.
Ou Yangming clenched his fists, feeling that his strength had increased by several times.
He was still some distance away from reaching a Devil God’s boundary in the Fallen Land, but he was full of confidence in himself.
As long as he got a large amount of Ancient Demons’ blood essences, it would only be a matter of time for him to break through to the Devil God boundary.
