Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1072: Self-explode

‘No, I can’t go on like this,’ Long Xiao muttered internally. He used an ingenious Taichi push and fended off the Dragon Slayer. Nonetheless, at this time, his body was on the verge of collapse, and he was seriously injured. Many tyrannical methods had become difficult for him to use, and he could only barely hold on.

“Kill!” A ruthless glint flashed in Ou Yangming’s eyes, and a continuous stream of Qi momentum surrounded him.

His attacks were like a violent storm. The more he fought, the faster he fought, and the more hurried his attacks became.

Each time he attacked, Long Xiao suffered unspeakably.

Ou Yangming actually faced a Ruler head-on as a Venerable One and suppressed him!

Although it was because he had launched a sneak attack and gained the upper hand, one could still see how terrifying his strength was.

He had comprehended the great path of Yin and Yang, and everything he had learned was merged. From the path to reason, and from reason to the path, his martial arts cultivation had been raised to an incredible level. The fusion of the bloodlines of the Dragons, the Phoenixes, and the Upper Tribulations had pushed the strength in his body to a whole new level. This was a qualitative change, and it was not something that could be compared with quantity.

Therefore, even though his boundary at the moment could not be compared with that of Long Xiao, who was a Ruler, his real fighting strength was not inferior at all and was even superior.

“What should I do? What should I do?” Long Xiao was extremely anxious. He had less than 60% of strength left, and he could not withstand it at all. His injuries were getting worse every second. Under the fierce, overbearing, and lightning-fast attack, he did not even have the chance to use the Dragons’ secret technique to send the news to Long Ting. This was because once he was distracted, he would die without a doubt.

As time passed, his disadvantage became greater.

“Go to hell!” Ou Yangming’s Qi was stirred, and majestic spiritual Qi from his dantian was poured into the Dragon Slayer.

He pressed his finger lightly out of the 9 black light spots on the Dragon Slayer, the first, the second, and the third lit up. A strange and profound feeling came from the lights and just one look was enough to send a chill down to the bottom of one’s heart.

The black lights swirled and turned into reality, condensing into countless small black swords that shot out in all directions.

1, 2, 3...

The small black swords condensed out of thin air were endless and filled the whole sky. Sharp sword Qi swept across the surroundings.

Looking from afar, the small black swords were like threads that blotted out the sky and covered the sun. Within 3 kilometers waves, air-piercing sounds could be heard!

This kind of technique had reached an unfathomable level.

It would not be a big deal if that was all but at the same time, Ou Yangming exhaled and released an unusual sound wave!

This was the Solitary Thought Skill, as well as the Voices of Gods and Demons.

Wherever the sound wave passed, the space was torn apart, revealing a kind of dark black that made one’s hearts palpitate as it surged toward Long Xiao!

As for the small black swords in the sky, Ou Yangming raised his right arm and pointed in the air. The small swords were like graceful birds, and their speed was even more intense. It reached a point where even a Ruler could not easily avoid them, and it directly came from behind Long Xiao.

The Voices of Gods and Demons attacked from the front to the back while the small black swords attacked from the back to the front.

By cooperating with each other from the front and the back, they completely forced Long Xiao into a desperate situation.

A desolate look appeared on his face, and he said softly, “You’re the strongest Venerable One I’ve ever met. There’s no one like you. Whether it’s your innate talent, temperament, or your strategies and plans, they’re impeccable. However, I’m a Ruler. How can I be defeated by a Venerable One? If I really lose, this will be a humiliation to myself and the Dragons. Hence, I’d rather die than lose!” His voice was no longer as ruthless and sinister as before; it sounded righteous and magnanimous.

“Explode!” He growled in a low voice with a hint of unwillingness.

As soon as he finished, his Dantian Lake began to glow with multicolored light, and his spiritual Qi surged.

A wave of madness spread out from his body. He was going to self-explode his Dantian Lake. Even if he died, he would drag Ou Yangming along with him!

Ou Yangming felt this chaotic aura, and his mind let out a thumping sound. He knew he was in trouble. Without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly retreated and pushed his speed to the limit. In a flash, he was gone. How powerful was the self-explosion of a Ruler’s Dantian Lake? It was hard to imagine and describe.

At this moment, Long Xiao’s mental power merged with the spiritual power in his Dantian Lake.

Skills, secret techniques... Everything turned into a furnace, turning into a power that could destroy everything. The cracks on his skin became denser like a spider web. His palm, the back of his hand, his arm, his face... Every part of his body turned red, and he laughed as he said, “Go to hell with me!” The voice sounded like it came from the mouth of a devil.

As soon as he said that, his body exploded like a balloon that was constantly being filled with air.

“Boom...”

The voice was deafening like the sound of the beginning of the chaos.

It contained a violent and overbearing power. Even a Venerable One would be scared witless just by listening to the voice.

Immediately after, a wave of air that could destroy all things reversed and spread out. Even space was torn apart by this wave of air. It was destroyed and reborn, reborn and destroyed. The most terrifying thing was the ground. Wherever this wave of air passed, mountains crumbled inch by inch. It was as if they had been disintegrated. Not a single trace was left behind.

0.5 kilometers, 5 kilometers, 50 kilometers...

Everything within 500 kilometers had turned into dust.

“Faster, faster!” Ou Yangming was anxious as he flew out.

He was fast, but the destructive power was even faster.

“Damn it!” He cursed. He knew he could not dodge anymore, so he quickly made a gesture with his hands, which turned into afterimages as he pushed outward. The patterns on the Ancient Dragon Shield lit up and grew with the wind, directly enveloping him. Even so, the young fellow was still worried. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. The entire Ancient Dragon Shield turned red as if it had just been fished out of a pool of blood.

Instantly, it stood tall and steady like a towering mountain.

To be fair, Ou Yangming’s Bloodline Power was the same as Xu Aoran’s.

A drop of Xu Aoran’s blood created the Big Ruins, turning it into a dangerous land.

Even though Ou Yangming’s cultivation base at the moment was far from Xu Aoran unyielding spirit toward Heaven, he had spat out a mouthful of blood essence. How much energy did it contain?

With a crack, the destructive power washed over the Ancient Dragon Shield, and the magic weapon began to shake violently.

After a moment, many fine cuts appeared on its back, interweaving into a web.

The Ancient Dragon Shield directly collapsed after enduring for another 100 breaths, turning into numerous lights and dissipating.

Ou Yangming sighed in regret and hurriedly mobilized the power of his physical body. The muscles on his body were like dragons, full of explosive power. He was swept away by the storm. He only felt the world spinning, and his mind was dizzy.

There was only one thought left in his mind. ‘A Ruler who doesn’t care about his life is terrifying.’

After an unknown period, the world returned to peace. At the place where Long Xiao self-exploded his Dantian Lake, a huge pit that was hundreds of kilometers deep appeared out of thin air.

Ou Yangming crawled up from the yellow sand with a dusty face. The clothes on his body had been torn apart by the chaotic storm, and his body was covered with plenty of wounds. He swallowed 2 healing pills and said with a bitter smile, “If it wasn’t for the Ancient Dragon Shield blocking most of the impact, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape this time.” Of course, if it was not for the fact that he had survived 9 Heavenly Thunderbolts and that his body was abnormally strong, he would have died without a doubt.

After all, the one who self-exploded was a Ruler.

If one were to talk about it in detail, Long Xiao was certainly the first Ruler in the history of the Great Wide World to be forced to self-explode by a Venerable One.

What was more frightening was that the Venerable One had survived. Would anyone believe it? Even in one’s dream, something as exaggerated as this would not appear. It was simply unimaginable.

Ou Yangming shook off the sand on his body. With a flash of thought, he took out a piece of clothing from his interspatial bag, put it on, and sped away.

The moment before Long Xiao self-exploded, Long Ting’s figure was free and easy as he sped through the yellow sand.

All of a sudden, he stopped and picked up a few grains of yellow sand. He raised his chin slightly and looked up at the horizon. He was stunned at first, then his eyes revealed a deep look of disbelief. He said in a trembling voice, “Is... Is this a destructive power from self-explosion?”

He took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart.

Long Ting gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows with his hands and said in a low voice, “Judging from this power, was it a Ruler who self-exploded?” He was asking himself a question because he was obviously unsure.

After all, a Ruler was an existence that stood at the top of the pyramid of the Great Wide World.

With a thought, Long Ting lifted his feet and appeared in the void.

Immediately after, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. He saw a light grey destructive power sweeping in all directions.

The pitch-black sky, the enormous mountain peak, and the yellow sand that filled the sky—all of them crumbled inch by inch and were destroyed without leaving a single trace. He had a feeling that even he would have a slim chance of surviving under this kind of power.

At the same time, the last bit of connection between his mind and that of Long Xiao had also been cut off!

He knew that Long Xiao was dead!

“The Phoenixes? Or...” Long Ting was not too furious, but he had a feeling that he was also in danger.

After a moment, he rubbed the space between his eyebrows again. If someone who was familiar with him saw this, one would know that his heart was already somewhat chaotic. He adjusted himself for a long time before he eventually calmed down.

He glanced at the big pit in the distance and shook his head. “It was probably... It was probably the doing of the b*stards from the Phoenixes. Even if that fella has mastered the power of laws, he’s still only a Venerable One. Even if Long Xiao wasn’t a match for him, it was impossible that he couldn’t have alerted me.” He became more certain of this.

The analysis was indeed reasonable, but he never would have thought that a Ruler would actually be successfully ambushed by a Venerable One. Long Xiao’s internal organs had collapsed, and he only had 60% of his strength left. Only then did such a situation occur.

After a moment of silence, Long Ting rushed toward the pit with big strides.

He thought that under the destructive force, even if Feng Yi and Feng Ai were lucky enough to survive, they would still be heavily injured with less than 10% of their battle strengths remaining.

In that case, Long Ting would have the opportunity to kill the powerhouses and hit the Phoenixes hard.

After all, if 2 Rulers died together, even if the Phoenixes had a profound foundation and did not suffer a great loss of vitality, they would still be hit hard.

Having said that, the closer Long Ting got to the pit, the more shocked he was.

The whole land was shattered, and everything was in ruins. Even the last wisp of spiritual Qi in the air had been shattered by the destructive power, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

At the same time, he was more certain that the 2 phoenix powerhouses were at least seriously injured, and there was a high possibility that they would die directly.

Long Xiao grinned and said, “Long Xiao, you died well. 1 Ruler for 2 Rulers. It’s a win-win situation no matter what.”

He was speeding up!
