Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 470: Supreme Essence And Blood

“Pow...”

Long Dexing’s body suddenly exploded and transformed into red mist again. Additionally, the mist spread quickly and assimilated into the thin film.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. He already knew the Insects’ Ghost-clawed Venerable One definitely had something to do with the Sky-devouring Devil God, or Long Dexing could not have controlled the Inescapable Trap.

Nonetheless, now was not the time to probe the secret. Faced with such a dangerous figure, Ou Yangming dared not relax at all.

He turned his wrist to release the Flame Saber, then he locked on several targets after taking a quick glance.

The Inescapable Trap was powerful, so much so that even the goshawk dared not get itself trapped inside. Nevertheless, Ou Yangming’s Flame Saber was the trap’s nemesis because even the strictest defense could not stop it at all. This was his biggest source of confidence.

He flashed and leaped to arrive behind Long Dexing. The saber-light, which carried flames, then slashed the reddened remains of the thin film.

This was the change after Long Dexing’s mist integrated into the Inescapable Trap; the entire area was filled with a sinister and weird aura.

After Ou Yangming attacked with his saber, he retreated abruptly in shock.

Instead of melting the thin film, the flames were somewhat resilient as they rebounded his power.

“Heh, what a foolish human. This is the real might of the Inescapable Trap.” Long Dexing’s voice echoed in the space. “There’s still time for you to drop your weapon and follow me back.”

The saber-light of Ou Yangming’s saber flashed to protect him as he shouted fiercely, “Hmph, don’t speak nonsense! If you’re able to take me down, you would’ve done it long ago.”

“It’s easy to take you down, but I don’t want to hurt you, and I’d like to escort a follower without conflicts.”

Ou Yangming was moved because he immediately understood what Long Dexing meant. The man did not intend to kill him but wanted to do his best to catch him alive. As for being a follower without conflicts, it was simply wishful thinking.

He sneered and noted, “Let’s see if you’re capable enough to make me turn in myself.”

The young fellow inhaled deeply and gently brushed his hand across his military saber.

It was then when he added the Devouring attribute in his sea of consciousness into the weapon.

Since Long Dexing was the Sky-devouring Devil God’s follower, he probably did not have much resistance against the energy.

While Ou Yangming refined his military saber, the Inescapable Trap inched closer to him. Although the trap had shattered after being struck by the Heavenly Thunderbolts, Long Dexing turned into mist and connected the pieces in a way incomprehensible by the young fellow. On top of that, the man also added a unique ability, which could resist the Flame Saber, to it.

The layered Inescapable Trap slowly approached Ou Yangming as though it wanted to trap him alive.

Ou Yangming roared, and he attacked as the saber-light of his weapon burst out.

Long Dexing, which had transformed into mist, sneered he was unharmed by the Flame Saber, let alone a calm slash from the saber. From his perspective, Ou Yangming was out of tricks and was only putting up a last fight.

Despite that, the sound of cloth being ripped was heard when the saber touched the thin film.

The Inescapable Trap, which was indestructible by the Flame Saber, was cut into two. At the same time, the slit on the cloth was not flat; it was covered in holes as if it was gnawed by something, and it became a ghastly sight.

“Ah—”

Long Dexing’s horrific scream echoed in the area as though the saber struck him, causing him to be in immense pain.

Ou Yangming withdrew his saber and stood straight while he embraced the weapon in front of his chest. Following that, he slowly exhaled from his chest and abdomen.

It was not because the young fellow did not want to seize the advantageous opportunity by following up the attack, but fearsome yet indescribable energy surged from his saber and entered his body after he attacked. The power was so substantial that it was 10 times stronger than the one he previously absorbed from the Inescapable Trap.

Essence and blood—the essence and blood of a powerhouse beyond Extreme Grade!

Ou Yangming instantly understood what he was devouring just now.

Ordinary ferocious beasts in this realm could cultivate to become half-spirit beasts, which was rather amazing. It was worth noting that only spirit beasts that descended from the upper realm were dissimilar in nature. As for Big Yellow, it was considered a one-in-a-million creature for being able to surpass the world’s limit and became a spirit beast.

The Beasts had many such powerhouses, but so did the Humans.

Ou Yangming did not know what peculiar technique Long Dexing cultivated to make himself look different from an authentic human. Having said that, the man’s real cultivation base was incredibly frightening. It was evident from the fact that he could control the ruined Inescapable Trap that he was so formidable that he was a level above spirit insects.

Once Ou Yangming absorbed the powerhouse’s essence and blood, which were fused in the Inescapable Trap, they turned into boiling streams that surged inside his body.

The young fellow’s mental power had arrived at the peak, and he dared not upgrade it further. As such, he could only convert the streams into his essential Qi, which flowed through his meridians and returned to his dantian bit by bit.

He was highly-spirited at the moment because his essential Qi reached a greater height. Moreover, his body was also in an extreme hyperactive state, causing him to yearn for the outside world’s power.

This was the effect of the Devouring power. As long as he could continue to devour, he could keep improving himself.

Who would not want to take a shortcut like this?

Subsequently, Ou Yangming stomped his feet. Right after he finished converting the essence and blood, his body bounced up like a cannon, then he landed on another part of the trap connected by a bloody color. The young fellow wielded his saber mercilessly to tear the trap apart. At the same time, he fully unleashed the Devouring power to absorb the available energies.

Even so, Ou Yangming was disappointed because while he was fast, Long Dexing seemed to have reacted faster than him.

Just as he slashed his saber at the Inescapable Trap, the bloody color faded away and disappeared in a split second.

Ou Yangming’s saber was as sharp as before, thus it split the obstructive Inescapable Trap, but he was not rewarded like before.

He paused and stood still to scan the trap, which carried vague hints of red light. Afterward, he questioned loudly, “Do you think I can’t find you if you hide inside the Inescapable Trap?”

Long Dexing asked furiously, “Human, since you inherited Sir Devil God’s legacy, why won’t you follow me back to the upper realm?”

He was the Sky-devouring Devil God’s servant, but he could not use the Devil God’s most famous power. Furthermore, the Inescapable Trap that he controlled could not block the Devouring power because he was completely devoted to the Devil God.

Therefore, Long Dexing was at a disadvantage once Ou Yangming adopted the attribute’s power.

Besides, he dared not show up anymore because he revered and feared the Devouring power.

Inherited Sir Devil God’s power and digesting the power so easily were two entirely different things.

Long Dexing honestly could not understand how exactly a little human like Ou Yangming could let the powers of the Heavenly Phoenix and the Devil God coexist in harmony, such that they would not disrupt each other.

In actuality, he indeed could not figure out that this had nothing to do with the understanding and utilization of the powers; the powers were merely attached to a piece of equipment.

Ou Yangming smiled scornfully, then he swayed his body as if there were suddenly many of him.

He appeared to be in front of Long Dexing at first, but he also seemed to be behind him.

The upright fragments of the Inescapable Trap possessed similar powers, but Ou Yangming could tell from the shade of the red color how Long Dexing delegated his power.

Ou Yangming was finding the reddest parts at the moment.

The thin film ripped when he slashed with his saber, but Long Dexing reacted faster, by which the bloody color vanished in the blink of an eye.

Ou Yangming was extremely fast, but Long Dexing did not show a weak impression at all. The former did his best to cut over 20 parts of the thin film in a swift, but he failed to devour any blood.

He sighed and thought, ‘This is the capability of a powerhouse beyond Extreme Grade.

‘Even if I go all-out, I can’t catch up to him at all.’

Seeing as Ou Yangming stopped, the Inescapable Trap’s pieces, which were isolating the space, backed away a lot, creating more room in the area.

Ou Yangming sneered and questioned, “Don’t you want to capture me? Why are you suddenly flinching?”

Long Dexing’s creepy voice was heard after some time. “Fine. Since you won’t turn in yourself, I can only use a trick to take you down!”

The young fellow was disdainful, but he dared not be careless at all.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow joined hands to slaughter the spirit centipede though they were careless back then. However, he did not know what unique ability the Devil God’s follower possessed. Perhaps his biggest regret was not having killed the man earlier.

He looked around at the spur of the moment because the environment around him seemed to be changing drastically.

The young fellow watched with bright eyes the various changes around him, especially the upright pieces of the thin film, which seemed to have unspeakable mysteries between them.

Back when the Inescapable Trap was in one piece, it was controlled by two spirit insects. They caused trouble to Ou Yangming, but it could not be mentioned on equal terms with what he was facing now. In particular, he concluded something after witnessing Long Dexing’s controlling method.

The insects were using brute force when they controlled the trap. Other than exerting force, they did not have any skills.

On the contrary, the damaged Inescapable Trap became wonderful after it was controlled by Long Dexing. The layers were sometimes apart, sometimes together. In addition, enormous energies gushed into it from the outside world, allowing it to become mightier than before.
