Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 806: Flee

Battle clouds filled the sky why 2 humongous beings displayed their strengths in a tangled fight.

When Ou Yangming looked up, he watched with full concentration despite being appalled. After all, a fight of this level could not be seen all the time. In particular, Intermediate Spiritualists like him would almost not have the opportunity to observe such a fight.

Therefore, he cast his thoughts aside and was fully immersed in watching the battle.

The fight between the 2 monstrous beings was earth-shattering, but what agitated him was the drastic change in the universe’s powers that were stirred up by them with their movements.

A massive spiritual world was long formed in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, where everything in the outside world was truly reflected inside.

Although he was far less capable than the 2 beings in the sky at the moment, his feedback ability on the world’s changes was similar to his instinct and was not obstructed at all.

Powerful repercussions blew past, causing the blood lines below to sway. In fact, some of them were torn apart.

Ou Yangming was moved. While sensing the changes in the world’s energy, he reached out and pointed his hand in front. Accompanied by the movement from his wrist, a forceful suction drew the torn blood lines over to him.

After being free from Li Xin’s control, the blood lines’ secret was immediately exposed to Ou Yangming, allowing him to finally understand why the giant head’s suction was helpless against them. It was because a power that was similar to the Devouring attribute or from the same origin could be found on the outer layer.

When the Devouring attribute was activated, it instantly repealed the energies on the blood lines, hence the giant head could not devour them.

Nonetheless, the queer power on them could exist for long. Once Li Xin was no longer focused here, it quickly disappeared. There were some remains of the power, but they could not be mentioned on equal terms with how it was before.

Without any hesitation, Ou Yangming turned his wrist swiftly and drew a spinning wind in the void to gather the blood lines around him bit by bit.

Back when the giant head devoured the blood lines that were released by Blood Shadow, he benefited greatly from it. What advantage would he gain from Li Xin’s blood lines, which were of a higher level?

Following the gathering by the tornado, the blood lines arrived around Ou Yangming. His body seemed to have transformed into a bottomless hold as he absorbed the blood lines to his heart’s content.

After he was done, he exhaled deeply and uttered in a deep voice, “Thank you, Master Kurong.”

A figure paced out from the side of the big tree. It was the thin Master Kurong.

He looked strangely at Ou Yangming as though he was reevaluating him.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. He naturally knew Master Kurong would find it odd if he used the Devouring attribute to absorb the blood lines. Even so, the young fellow would not regret it because he was certain that the blood lines would be extremely helpful for the giant head.

His Heavenly Phoenix Fire could slowly grow when he smithed pieces of equipment, the giant head’s power could only be increased through devouring.

More importantly, devouring blood lines was much more effective than devouring other things.

Master Kurong sighed after a brief moment and remarked, “Master Ou, you really surprise me.”

Ou Yangming grinned. “It’s just a small trick. Don’t laugh at me, Master.”

When he looked up at the sky, the 2 powerhouses were still fighting. “Master, why don’t you lend 10,000 Beasts Venerable One a helping hand?”

Li Xin was mighty but if the 2 top-grade Venerable Ones from Danzhou joined hands against him, he would definitely bear some consequences.

Master Kurong shook his head and explained, “This is a battle for their names. If I were to make a move, 10,000 Beasts Venerable One will surely be the first to attack me.”

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and asked helplessly, “Can 10,000 Beasts Venerable One defeat him?”

Master Kurong pondered for a brief moment before he answered, “It’s fifty-fifty. Perhaps their victory or defeat will be decided in the blink of an eye.”

The young fellow furrowed his eyebrows and thought, ‘Turns out that Master Kurong can’t tell the outcome either.’

Nevertheless, Master Kurong smiled faintly and added, “Don’t worry, they won’t go so far.”

“Why?” Ou Yangming was surprised.

“Because I’m here,” Master Kurong answered.

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he understood the theory behind it right away.

Li Xin might put up a desperate fight at all costs if the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was here alone, but Master Kurong had released his aura. Even though the master controlled the range such that he was not going to join the fight, Ou Yangming did not believe that the 2 other powerhouses would ignore his aura.

Since Li Xin was aware that there were 2 top-grade Venerable Ones here and was not a fool, why would he fight to his death here?

Ou Yangming later turned and looked at Blood Shadow, who was also watching the fight from afar.

Master Kurong was sharp enough to notice it, thus he asked with a smile, “Master Ou, are you and Blood Shadow acquainted?”

“Yes, and there’s also some sort of relationship between us,” Ou Yangming replied to him after some thought and sighed. “I didn’t think that he was going to pursue me closely.”

Master Kurong smiled and noted, “Master Ou, you misunderstood—Blood Shadow seems to be helping you.”

“What?” Ou Yangming was shocked.

“When 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and I looked for you, we lost track of you many times but unexpectedly found auras that were left behind by Blood Shadow in certain crucial spots,” Master Kurong explained with bright eyes, “If that weren’t the case, we would’ve needed to go through a lot of trouble to find you.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered. He nodded and had countless thoughts in his mind, and he had a rather complicated feeling when he looked up at Blood Shadow.

He naturally understood what this meant. Each time he performed the Blood Flight Art, he left in an instant and could go 50 kilometers away in a split second.

If one did not see where he took flight to, it would almost be impossible for one to track him.

Who knew, Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had not only found him easily, but they could also approach him without a sound to save him from Li Xin. Undoubtedly, everything was more or less because of Blood Shadow.

‘Since Blood Shadow’s willing to help me in the dark, why is he on Li Xin’s side?’

“Boom...”

While Ou Yangming was puzzled, another deafening sound was heard coming from the sky.

Ou Yangming tensed up a little. When he looked up, he heard Master Kurong chuckle. “Heh, this fella probably wants to leave already.”

The young fellow was dumbfounded. He stared with gleaming eyes as if he comprehended something.

Master Kurong nodded and exclaimed internally, ‘This young fella has an unprecedented and unparalleled gift in smithing art, but his talent in martial arts is also beyond one’s reach. No wonder the phoenix powerhouse appointed him as a messenger in the Spiritual Realm.

‘That said...’ Master Kurong furrowed and recalled how Ou Yangming absorbed the blood lines earlier.

‘Is that the Phoenixes’ ability?’

Master Kurong was the greatest human powerhouse in Danzhou and was considered knowledgeable. However, the Phoenixes were known as invincible beings according to legend. Their secrets were as vast as the ocean and as boundless as a starry sky, thus they were not something that could be explored by him.

Having said that, deep down the master was very wary of that peculiar ability.

This was because the ability was too similar to that of the Sky-devouring Devil God, which was said to be able to destroy the entire Spiritual Realm according to another legend.

All of a sudden, Master Kurong laughed out loud. He extended his dry and skinny finger to point at the sky.

A tiny black spot appeared in the void without a foundation. It was not big as it was at most the size of a normal tray, but great vitality could be sensed when it appeared.

Subsequently, the black spot exploded, causing numerous old rattans to be released. They turned into the toughest ropes and headed toward Li Xin, who had turned around to flee.

The old rattans were exceptionally fast and on point. They tangled Li Xin’s legs in no time, so he staggered in mid-air and almost fell.

Li Xin’s eyes flickered. He looked down and shouted fiercely, “Despicable!”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One frowned at a distance away. It stopped and did not intend to attack from its side.

If Master Kurong had intervened earlier, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One would not have been so polite. Now that its battle against Li Xin came to an end, and he was trying to get away, it could not blame the master for stopping him.

Nonetheless, due to its pride as a top-notch Venerable One, it was beneath its dignity to attack Li Xin from another side at this time.

Master Kurong kept a straight face as if he did not hear what Li Xin said.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and laughed out loud. “Your Excellency, you actually know the word “despicable”? Heh, given that you’re a top-grade Venerable One, are you considered despicable and shameless for pursuing a nobody like me?”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was at ease. ‘Yes, Li Xin’s already being so shameless, so why should I still be concerned?’

It and Master Kurong were lucky enough to have made it here before Ou Yangming was seized. If they were slightly later, it might have been a disaster.

With that, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable Ones took a deep breath and roared. It no longer bothered about anything else, by which it launched a clean hit with its fist.

On the ground, Master Kurong flapped his sleeve, causing the rattans in the sky to strangle Li Xin tighter than before. Moreover, they released forceful destructive energies to continuously attack his body.

It was not a magnificent sight, but it was more effective.

“Boom...”

Owing to the punch, Li Xin’s body shuddered intensely. The body that he condensed was almost going to crumble.

At last, he cried into the air. As his soundwave surged, the enormous red body exploded, then a red light soared into the sky from the body’s core and zoomed into the endless distance.

This was the Blood Flight Art of a Venerable One. Once it was activated, a Venerable One would fly 5,00 to 5,000 kilometers away and vanish at once.
