Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 400 A Different Battlefield



Chapter 400 A Different Battlefield

The battles at the top of the wall had basically come to an end. Indeed, the half-spirit beasts that managed to jump onto the wall were the creams of the crop. In terms of absolute powers only, they could not be compared by newly-advanced Supreme Great Ancestors, who had not fully stabilized their boundaries yet.

Nonetheless, the half-spirit beasts were terribly unlucky to have encountered Supreme Great Ancestors that were armed to their teeth.

All of the great ancestors possessed notable magic tools.

As long as the magic tools had more than 20 points of Sharpness, they could inflict certain levels of harm to the half-spirit beasts even if they were used by Yang Grade powerhouses, let alone Supreme Great Ancestors. On top of that, the beasts were even more confused to find that the magic tools carried skills.

There were various strange skills, but since they could be attached to magic tools, they were not for show. No matter the skills simulated, they caused huge damage to the half-spirit beasts.

On the contrary, when the beasts managed to endure the damages from the sharp magic skill tools and dragged their wounded bodies toward the Supreme Great Ancestor, they could not kill the humans even when they slashed with their claws. The powerhouses’ armors would release yellow lights to block the attacks, which the beasts had exchanged with their lives, or they would drift away like fallen leaves through their magic boots. As such, the nearly-dead half-spirit beasts could only stare at them with grief.

Therefore, though there was a disturbance on the wall, it was quickly settled as many powerhouses joined hands.

At that point, Li Xinfan’s intention was clear.

The pieces of equipment smithed by Ou Yangming were the key, or a few Supreme Great Ancestors must sacrifice for them to achieve the same result.

Nevertheless, the people were not cheerful because they subconsciously looked into the distance.

It was the opposite direction of the main gate, where a thunderous explosion was heard. The people could not help but shudder with fear, so much so that other than the Supreme Great Ancestors and some remarkable Yang Grade powerhouses, the others fell to the ground.

“Oh no, they were diverting our attention!” Li Xinfan suddenly turned around and widened his eyes as he shouted. Before the general’s voice died away, he made a move to hurry toward that direction and yelled, “5 great ancestors will stay here. As for the rest, come with me!”

Elder Universe and the others looked at each other, then they flashed away. A few great ancestors were slow to react, so by the time they wanted to move, they realized that they were the only few left. They could not help but smile bitterly, and they were rather worried.

Chen Yilian was one of the great ancestors who stayed. All of a sudden, he called out loud, “Master Ou, what are you doing?”

Ou Yangming turned to respond with a smile, “Brother Chen, I’d like to go and take a look.”

“No, General Li ordered that you mustn’t go into the battlefield,” Chen Yilian quickly noted.

“Who said I want to get involved? I only want to see what’s going on.” Ou Yangming spread out his hands and nodded at Chen Yilian. “I promise you I won’t act at all.”

Chen Yifan shifted and blocked Ou Yangming’s path. “Master Ou, nobody knows what’s going on there. You can’t go over there!”

The few other Supreme Great Ancestors went forward and convinced him patiently too.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and replied to them with a straight face, “Okay, I promise I won’t go there.”

The men sighed breaths of relief. They did not expect Ou Yangming to be so easygoing.

Who knew, Ou Yangming suddenly said, “I’m feeling tired now, and I’d like to go back to the Ni residence to rest. You’re not going to stop me, are you?”

Chen Yilian and the others looked at each other and thought, “How trustable is Master Ou’s word?”

Under normal circumstances, one of them could definitely escort the young fellow back. However, given that they were the only 5 great ancestors left on the main gate’s wall, as bold as they were, they dared not split up. Ou Yangming sighed. “Do you not trust me now?”

Chen Yilian and the other great ancestors were taken aback. They looked at each other and finally made way for the young fellow.

Ou Yangming spoke quite harshly, and it was not something they could bear.

He smiled faintly and headed toward the Ni residence indeed.

After making a few turns, Ou Yangming suddenly sped up. Despite that, he neither went after the deafening sound nor returned to the Ni residence. Instead, he searched those quiet and unoccupied small alleys.

Before long, he arrived at a narrow alley.

He stopped and turned to put his hands behind his back, then he asked, “Since you came, why don’t you show yourself?”

There was nobody in the dark alley because those who were capable had been recruited into the army during the beast tide. In fact, even ordinary but healthy women were contributing to guarding the city. As such, nobody would enter the small alley.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “I’m shocked to find that you’re actually so timid.”

“Hmph!”

A chilly voice, which sounded like it came from hell, was heard. “Who are you? Why do you have my master’s inheritance?”

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and laughed. “Since you spoke, I suppose you don’t want to hide anymore. If that’s the case, come out!” He suddenly reached out his hand, then a flash of light shot out from his arm guard like a lightning bolt.

A peculiar ripple appeared in the void, and it slashed in that direction like a sharp blade.

An even more unbelievable fluctuation was seen in the space. Following that, the space in the area agglomerated as though a shield was formed out of thin air to block the sudden wind blade.

Ou Yangming’s face changed. The Wind Blade skill that he carved on his other arm guard naturally belonged to Ni Yinghong.

Although Ni Yinghong’s cultivation base was not high, the power released by the rune, which was engraved on a magic tool, was far greater than hers. Even so, Ou Yangming’s opponent blocked the wind blade in an even more exaggerated way.

The young fellow vaguely sensed that his opponent was much more dangerous and fearsome than he imagined.

That said, since he had made his decision and had prepared for a long time, he was not going to give up. An elder as thin as a bamboo stick walked out from the vortex-like void. His eyes looked sinister as though he came from the cold realm of the dead, by which one look from him could freeze someone.

“How exactly are you related to my master?”

‘I don’t even know your master,’ Ou Yangming thought, but he smiled mysteriously and put his hands behind his back. “What do you think?”

The elder stared at Ou Yangming with his bright eyes and questioned after a long time, “How much of my master’s Great Sky-devouring Technique have you gained?”

Ou Yangming was moved, and he instantly realized that person’s origin.

Legend had it that the Great Sky-devouring Technique was a secret technique cultivated by the horrific Sky-devouring Devil God.

In other words, the Devouring attributes that Ou Yangming absorbed from those odd badges were merely representations of the Great Sky-devouring Technique.

“This elder’s master is that terrifying devil?’

While Ou Yangming was experiencing an upsurge of emotions, he remained unperturbed on the outside. Judging from his bearing and composure, he became quite similar to Li Xinfan.

He slowly raised a hand and gathered unusual energies on his palm. Sure enough, Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness had 4 points of Devouring attribute.

Before this, the only way for him to use the attributes’ powers was to attach them to a weapon. As his mental power reached 99 points, he possessed completely different abilities, which allowed him to express these attributes in another way.

There were strange swirls in the elder’s eyes at the moment. Even from afar, it was clear that the swirls were somewhat akin to the unusual energies on Ou Yangming’s palm.

As the two of them stared at each other from a distance away, the air between them vibrated intensely.

Nonetheless, they were not aware that in a hidden corner...

A little flaming red bird was lying low over there. It squinted its eyes to the extent that they could almost not be seen as it secretly watched.

Having said that, it was not paying attention to the elder, but Ou Yangming.

This was because it sensed an incredibly strong sense of intimacy in the young human.

It felt like a calling from an ancient memory as if the young fellow belonged to its clan but was in a human’s body.

In comparison, the Sky-devouring Evil Remnant, which it loathed and wanted to rip apart, was not worth mentioning at all. While the small alley slowly became quiet, the other side of the prefecture was in chaos. A formidable eight-armed spirit beast emerged out of nowhere and turned into a savage King Kong. By using its arms, which were equivalent to magic tools, it forcefully crushed an enormous hole on the city wall.

Consequently, the soldiers and powerhouses on top of that wall died at once.

Subsequently, the Eight-armed Giant Beast looked up at the sky and let out a deafening roar.

Behind it, all ferocious beasts began to move and charged toward the massive hole.

By the time Li Xinfan and Elder Universe arrived, they were greeted with the tragic aftermath.

Seeing as the Eight-armed Giant Beast roared and released a frightening might with ease, everyone else gasped.

Elder Universe leaped into the air and struck the giant beast with a sword-light, but he turned pale when he noticed that the beast was not harmed by his magic tool at all.

“High-rank-a high-rank spirit beast... How could this be?”
