Chapter 1342: Meet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ou Yangming’s body was so strong that even a High Grade Acquired Taoist Tool could not hurt him at all.
Now, he was injured by the eagle’s wing.
Those golden wings were like an indestructible weapon!
The wound on Ou Yangming’s arm quickly healed. This small injury was nothing to him.
His eyes were fixed on the eagle.
After the attack, the eagle did not hesitate and pounced toward Ou Yangming again.
This time, it was even more ferocious. The eagle extended a sharp claw, which was flashing with a destructive aura.
After suffering a small loss, Ou Yangming was not careless this time. The moment the eagle flew over, he had grasped the Reincarnation Spear tightly and suddenly stabbed it.
The Reincarnation Spear was like a horned dragon that had gone out to sea.
Woosh, woosh…
The sound of air being torn apart rang in his ears.
Nonetheless, the eagle did not care. After seeing the Reincarnation Spear, its claws clawed at it.
“Clang…” A soft sound rang out.
Ou Yangming took a step back, and the eagle was also knocked flying.
In terms of strength, this beast was still very far from Ou Yangming. Its main advantage was in speed.
The eagle’s claws were incomparably sharp. When they collided with the Reincarnation Spear, there was not the slightest damage. It quickly stabilized its body and stared at Ou Yangming. No one knew what it was thinking.
‘What a powerful beast!’ Ou Yangming secretly clicked his tongue.
In terms of strength, this eagle was even more powerful than that Primal Chaos Rocky Sea Monster. It was at least at the Fifth Heaven.
Ou Yangming’s eyes gradually became serious. His fingers moved slightly, and the power of profound meanings fused.
“Ha!”
Ou Yangming shouted. At the same time, his body turned into an afterimage.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The eagle did not choose to retreat. Its sharp claws danced in the air, blocking every attack of the Reincarnation Spear.
Nevertheless, its claws gradually could not take it anymore.
The power of the fused profound meanings had increased more than 10 times.
Even though the eagle’s claws were close to the level of an Innate Spirit Treasure, it still could not take the continuous attacks of the Reincarnation Spear.
Crack! A few finger bones fell to the ground. The eagle quickly retreated, its eyes filled with disbelief.
It was the guardian of the heart of the universe. Its body was incredibly sturdy, and it was formed from the minerals in the secret realm.
Even the 2 people who had entered the secret realm previously could not cause it any harm.
The eagle was a little angry. It opened its mouth, and a purple electric current suddenly flew out from within.
Ou Yangming took a step back.
“Rumble.” A violent explosion sounded under Ou Yangming’s feet, and the secret realm began to shake.
At the place where Ou Yangming had just landed, a pit more than 10 meters deep appeared. Green smoke was still rising from the pit, and one could see the electric arcs flickering on it.
Ou Yangming was a little surprised. He had not expected that the eagle would have such an ability to spit out such terrifying lightning. This was the secret realm, and the rocks under his feet were even sturdier than Acquired Taoist Tools. Even so, they were still severely damaged. If it was the Great Wide World, this move could at least destroy an entire continent.
Moreover, this was only the beginning.
The move did not hit Ou Yangming, but the eagle was not discouraged.
It opened its mouth again, and purple lightning continuously flew out from its mouth. Streaks of silver lightning arcs fell like meteors.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The sound of explosions continuously filled the air, and the ground was riddled with holes.
Ou Yangming dodged quickly but there were too many lightning bolts. Even he could not dodge them completely.
Green smoke was rising from Ou Yangming’s clothes. Apparently, he was also affected.
“You’re courting death!” Ou Yangming was also mad.
He shouted coldly. The Reincarnation Spear turned into a stream of light and flashed past. The light forcefully separated the purple lightning.
“Creation!”
The power of profound meaning suddenly bloomed on the Reincarnation Spear like brilliant fireworks.
“Boom!”
The eagle was still accumulating lightning. It did not have time to dodge before it was hit by the Reincarnation Spear.
As such, the long spear drove the eagle’s body away and smashed it onto a big rock.
“Boom!” Rock fragments flew up. The eagle turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
Ou Yangming turned around and saw that there was another eagle statue at the position of the statue. He noticed that a few of the eagle’s claws were broken.
He put away his spear. He knew that he had passed the test. This eagle was just a puppet, a roadblock created by the heart of the universe. Its function was to block those who were not strong enough to enter the depths of the secret realm.
In the depths of the secret realm, the 2 geniuses who had arrived before stood up and looked into the distance.
“What’s that sound?” Xue Sha’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
It had been 100,000 years, and this place was completely silent. They had never encountered any other sound.
“Do you still remember that eagle we met when we first came in?”
Kun Xuzi’s expression gradually became serious.
“Yes, how could I forget it? That fella was terrifying and could even release the Primal Chaos Purple Lightning. If it wasn’t for the 2 of us working together, we probably wouldn’t even be able to enter the main door. Are you saying that that sound just now came from the direction of the eagle?” Xue Sha’s gaze focused, soon, and he thought of something.
It seemed that the voice really came from that place.
In that case…
Xue Sha’s eyes were sharp. He looked at Kun Xuzi and said, “Is someone else coming?”
There was some uncertainty in his voice. It had been 100,000 years. The 2 of them had been waiting here for 100,000 years. Someone else came!
“If I’m not wrong, someone should be here,” Kun Xuzi said.
His voice was calm. No one could guess what he was thinking.
The 2 of them did not look too good. In the past, if it were just the 2 of them, even if they had spent a lot of time, one of them would be able to obtain the legendary heart of the universe. Now that an accident had happened and a third person had come, there was only a third of their hope left.
“It’s okay. That eagle is quite formidable. Even we had a hard time defeating it 100,000 years ago. That person might not be able to come in,” Xue Sha said in a low voice.
“I hope so.” Kun Xuzi looked into the distance.
If that person could not defeat the puppet eagle, it would not be a threat to them.
The air became quiet, and the sounds of battle gradually died down.
“What’s the result?”
The battle had ended, and there were only 2 results. One was that person’s defeat, and the other was the puppet eagle’s defeat.
“It should be that person’s defeat, right?”
“That puppet is exceptionally powerful. Even when we joined forces at that time, we wouldn’t have been able to finish it off so quickly,” Xue Sha looked into the distance and muttered.
“It’s possible.” Kun Xuzi retracted his gaze.
They wanted to go over and see what the outcome would be. Unfortunately, they could only advance and could not retreat in this secret realm. Their way back had disappeared.
“We don’t know how many keys there are in total. We should hurry up. If a supreme powerhouse were to come in, we’d be in trouble.” Kun Xuzi also had a sense of danger.
If it was an ordinary Heavenly Rank powerhouse, they would not be afraid of anything; if the other party was a powerhouse above the Seventh Heaven, he would be a great threat to them. The 2 of them could peacefully comprehend the laws of the universe when they were together and could coexist peacefully. If another person were to join them, this balance would be broken.
Needless to say, Xue Sha was still a step behind Kun Xuzi.
The 2 of them had come to an agreement that no matter who obtained the heart of the universe, they had to bring the other person out safely. At the very least, their lives were not threatened.
Having said that, if they could not obtain the heart of the universe, the countless years of hard work would be in vain.
Besides, the difference between the person who obtained the heart of the universe and the one who did not would be like a chasm between Heaven and Earth.
Just as the 2 of them refocused their minds and prepared to cultivate again, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Their expressions changed at the same time. They took out their weapons. Kun Xuzi’s weapon was a horsetail whisk. Under the golden handle, there was a bunch of white silk hanging down. It looked like it was detached from the mortal world and was otherworldly.
Xue Sha’s weapon was a large saber that was about the same height as him. The blade was gorgeous, and it flickered with a bewitching red light.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer. Outside the dense fog, a young figure walked in.
They saw the person outside, and that person also saw them at the same time. The 3 of them were on guard against each other.
The person who walked in from outside was Ou Yangming. After defeating the eagle, the road ahead was smooth, and he soon found this place.
First, he glanced at the bright black crystal on the steps, and his eyes had a hint of a smile. Someone had come in ahead of time but it was not surprising. As long as the thing was still there, it would be fine.
Ou Yangming looked at the 2 people again. He only knew one of these 2 people, and that was the bald man.
From Dao Xuanji’s memories, Ou Yangming knew that his name was Xue Sha, and he was a genius of the Styx Nation, one of the 4 great nations. 100,000 years ago, this person was very famous. He was temperamental and killed many people. At that time, Dao Xuanji had just broken through to the Heavenly Rank. He had once looked at Xue Sha from afar, but he had not forgotten him for 100,000 years.
As for the other person, Ou Yangming did not know who he was. Of course, since he had the qualifications to enter this place, he was not an ordinary person. It was very likely that he was someone that Ai Ruisi had also heard of but never seen.
“Who are you?” The bald Xue Sha flipped his wrist, and the blood-red saber glowed. He looked at Ou Yangming and questioned.
Ou Yangming chuckled. “Before asking someone else’s name, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?”
“You don’t know us?” Xue Sha was a little puzzled. However, on second thought, they had not appeared for 100,000 years.. It was normal for someone to not know them.
