Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1267: Chaos

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor voiced out the doubts in his heart.

‘Some time ago, a mysterious young powerhouse suddenly appeared in the Great Wide World. No one knew his background. That person’s methods were astonishing, and he swept the world with a single move. He consecutively challenged 2 powerful experts of the third step and was victorious.’

Hearing the great ancestor’s words, Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Mighty figures of the third step were not found everywhere. Powerhouses of this level were very rare in the Great Wide World. They only existed in top-tier sects and clans.

The sudden appearance of that youth and the fact that he had defeated 2 experts of the third step was too surprising.

‘Great Ancestor, are you saying that that young powerhouse isn’t someone from the Great Wide World?’ Ou Yangming asked in a deep voice.

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor nodded, and he continued to transmit his voice, ‘If I didn’t know about the news of the Immortal Path to Heaven, I wouldn’t have thought of this. Now, the possibility is very high. That youth isn’t alone. It’s rumored that he has an old man by his side. That person is even more mysterious, and his strength is unfathomable. He didn’t make a move, but his strength can be judged from the youth’s attitude toward him.’

‘If they’re people from other worlds, shouldn’t they keep a low profile when coming to the Great Wide World? Could it be that he’s not afraid of the experts of the Great Wide World at all?’ Ou Yangming asked.

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor pondered for a moment before saying, ‘That’s also a question. A third-step powerhouse is very powerful but not invincible. Unless he disregards all of the powerhouses in the Great Wide World, he shouldn’t be so arrogant.’

‘Maybe it’s his personality. Maybe he really treats the people of the Great Wide World lightly…’ Ou Yangming frowned and said.

The great ancestor also smiled bitterly. They could not guess what other people were thinking.

Nonetheless, one thing was certain. The people of other worlds might really not regard the Great Wide World as anything. After all, this world was the last to evolve, and there was a huge difference between the powerhouses here and the ones from the other worlds.

‘What’s the name of that young powerhouse?’ Ou Yangming placed his cutleries on the table.

‘Ruler Ying,’ the great ancestor mentioned the youth’s title.

‘This title was given by that youth himself. When he challenges someone, he’ll tell them his title.’

Ou Yangming nodded and remembered the name.

Ruler Ying was very likely an expert from another world. It was just that Ou Yangming did not know which world he was from.

He was probably not from the Third World as they had already sent the Nine-sworded Ruler, so they would not send other experts here so quickly. Moreover, from the memories of the Nine-sworded Ruler’s soul fragments, Ou Yangming did not know Ruler Ying at all. If Ruler Ying was sent by the Heavenly Path Alliance, there was no reason for the Nine-sworded Ruler not to know about him.

It was impossible that Ruler Ying was from the Second World as well. Other than a few people who had founded divine kingdoms, the rest of the people in that world had all perished in the calamity of their world.

At present, their world had just given birth to life.

What was left were only the ancient and mysterious First World and the Fourth World.

The First World had gone through several reincarnations. That world had the most powerhouses who had obtained divine sparks, and their inheritances were far from what the Great Wide World could compare to.

After finishing the banquet, Ou Yangming and the others prepared to leave the Phoenixes’ headquarters.

The world was becoming more chaotic. He had to settle down Old Craftsman and the others as soon as possible then seek the opportunity to break through to the third step.

Now, Ou Yangming could fight against existences in the third step, but he was not satisfied. From the ancient book in the Seven Stars Pavilion, he had seen the scene of the Immortal Path to Heaven appearing. At that time, there would be many powerhouses, and countless hidden almighty experts would appear. In addition, there were complicated relationships between the other worlds, and even some Eternal Kingdoms would get involved. During that time, even powerhouses equal to happen would appear.

“Swift Tortoise,” Ou Yangming called out in front of the Phoenixes’ mountain gate.

The Swift Tortoise following behind him immediately grew larger and very soon, it became a colossus several times larger than the dragon boat. Its 100-meter-wide back flickered with ancient patterns, and it looked full of spiritual Qi.

After breaking through to the law boundary, the Swift Tortoise became much larger as if it had been reborn. Of course, its speed also became more astonishing. As for how fast it was, Ou Yangming had never tried it before. Despite that, it was surely much faster than the flying boat.

“Red-feathered Bird, come and play with me if you have nothing to do in the future!” Big Yellow jumped onto the back of the Swift Tortoise and said to Lil’ Red in the distance.

Lil’ Red did not leave with Ou Yangming. His strength had just broken through, and the Phoenixes’ great ancestor still had many things to tell him. Furthermore, he was now the king of the Phoenixes, and he had to accept the coronation of the Phoenixes.

“Big Yellow, I’ll go find you soon.” Lil’ Red flew in the air and looked somewhat reluctant to part.

“Let’s go,” Ou Yangming called out softly.

With that, Old Man, Ni Yinghong, Wu Ninghan, Bai Shixue, King Kong, Goshawk… A large group of them all jumped onto the Swift Tortoise’s back.

The Swift Tortoise’s body was incredibly wide, so it did not seem crowded at all for them.

“Be careful, I’m about to set off,” the Swift Tortoise reminded them.

King Kong laughed mockingly and asked, “Could an old tortoise like you throw me out?”

He and the goshawk did not know the Swift Tortoise, nor did they know its ability. If they had seen it once, they probably would not think like this at the moment.

The Swift Tortoise laughed a few times. Suddenly, its body shook, and it instantly appeared 10 kilometers away.

On the back of the Swift Tortoise, King Kong staggered, and he almost fell on the shell. He stared at the big tortoise with his mouth agape. ‘Isn’t it too fast? Even if I try my best, I probably can’t catch up with it. Is it even a human? No… Is it even a tortoise? How could there be such a fast tortoise in the world…’

King Kong’s mind was a little muddled, and the others were the same.

Having said that, they had been careful from the start. Besides, with Ou Yangming protecting them, nothing unexpected happened.

The Swift Tortoise’s speed was unexpected.

Ou Yangming was mentally prepared, but he was also shocked.

Although the tortoise in the law boundary did not have much combat power, its speed was comparable to a supreme expert in the third step. Even Ou Yangming did not dare to say that his speed could be compared to this big tortoise. It was simply born to be a mount.

Now that the tortoise’s speed was already comparable to a third-step powerhouse, how much would it grow to in the future?

Additionally, the Swift Tortoise had comprehended the law of space in the Enlightenment Pavilion. Once its power of law had reached the second step, its speed would certainly be even more terrifying.

The Swift Tortoise’s speed was still increasing. After a few hours, it gradually stabilized. Ou Yangming looked at the star map in his hand. According to their speed, they would need about half a month to reach the Zhenwu Continent. The time was still acceptable.

Old Craftsman and the others were admiring the scene of the starry sky from the back of the Swift Tortoise. The colors of the planets were all different, and each one was beautiful.

Occasionally, a few flying boats would appear in the starry sky. The appearance of the Swift Tortoise almost scared the people on the flying boats to death. Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, that big guy had disappeared.

“So fast!”

“Did you see it just now? A tortoise flew past our eyes!”

A flying boat was flying in the void, and the people on it were all sweating profusely.

“Is it a Starry Sky Beast?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a fast Starry Sky Beast. Luckily, it didn’t plan to attack us.”

In the blink of an eye, 10 days had passed.

Ou Yangming and his companions had completed more than half of their journey to the Zhenwu Continent. It seemed that the Swift Tortoise did not know fatigue. During these 10 days, it had maintained its maximum speed. Its physical strength was shocking.

The young fellow stood at the front of the Swift Tortoise. Suddenly, he felt a familiar aura.

‘That fella?’ Ou Yangming narrowed his eyes. A dangerous look flashed across his face. ‘That guy didn’t take my warning to heart.’

“Slow down,” Ou Yangming said softly.

The Swift Tortoise hurriedly slowed down and maintained its slow speed.

“Little b*stard, what’s wrong?” Old Man asked curiously.

“I saw an “old acquaintance”.”

Ou Yangming pointed in a direction, and they got closer. The others could also see what was happening there clearly.

A huge horned dragon was wantonly roaring in the air. In front of it was a huge flying boat. There should be some powerhouses on the flying boat who were fighting this horned dragon at the moment. The tail of the flying boat was already burning with flames. The weak humans on it had panicked looks in their eyes.

“Wasn’t the Horned Dragon King sealed by a powerhouse for 500 years? Why did it come out again?”

“Horned dragons are cunning by nature. How could it be trapped in a place for 500 years? That powerhouse has long gone somewhere else. How could it be restrained?”

“It’s all Third Old Qianfault. Why did he bring that thing on the flying boat?”

The powerhouses had solemn expressions as they communicated with each other.

“What should we do? Third Old Qian has already promised to hand the thing over to it, but it has no intention of letting us go.”

Giant Starry Sky Pythons appeared in the void around the flying boat and surrounded it tightly. These pythons were all the subordinates of this horned dragon, and they were planning to kill the people.

The Horned Dragon King was not stupid. ‘If I let the people here leave, wouldn’t the news of me being out be spread? What if my bane found out and came to kill me?

‘That young fella said that he’s a human, but he has the token of the Dragons’ Honorary Elder. Besides, he’s acquainted with the dragon emperor, so I can’t afford to offend him.’

Of course, the horned dragons had no qualms about killing these people. The Great Wide World was so big. Who would know that these people were killed by him?

“Quickly hand over the True Dragon Blood!” The Horned Dragon King growled. Its tail shot into the sky and hit the flying boat with a bang. The deck of the boat suddenly exploded as if it was going to break in the middle.

“Sir, I’ll hand over the treasure to you, but you have to let me go!”

On the flying boat, a middle-aged man with a chubby face said in fear. He looked at the densely packed pythons around him, and his face was extremely pale.

“I can’t let you go, but I can promise to leave your corpse intact,” the Horned Dragon King said coldly.

“No need to talk nonsense. Let’s fight it out with it. Even if we die, we won’t let it have it easy!”

The powerhouses on the flying boat were furious. They had retreated time and time again, but the Horned Dragon King did not retreat a single step. The other party already wanted them dead. What difference did it make how they died?
