by Heaven's White Crane


  The dwarf cried and was frightened out of his wits. He immediately regarded Ou Yangming as an Extreme Grade powerhouse in disguise.

  He flew backwards and crazily swung his saber in all directions, resulting in countless blade auras surging out of his weapon. That said, when the saber force was at its peak, he threw it away and fled.

  It was a crafty escape plan. As long as the overbearing saber could buy the dwarf some time, he could break free. Moreover, without the saber as a burden and given that he had a unique body, perhaps he could run away successfully.

  However, just as the dwarf sped up to enter the forest, he felt pain on his body. An exceptionally strange and strong power hit his back, causing his armor of essential Qi to be destroyed. The power then spread to every corner of his body through his meridians.

  Accordingly, the dwarf staggered and collapsed to the ground in extreme fear although he was not resigned to the outcome.

  Chapter 246 - Mental Storm

  Chapter 246 Mental Storm

  The Suicidal Throat-locking Spear!

  Fierce and deadly—these were the common descriptions of the Chen family’s spear technique. Although Ou Yangming did not have a spear with him, he utilized his finger as a spear at that moment and perfectly released the spear intent. Needless to say, if the dwarf had not mistaken Ou Yangming for a Supreme Great Ancestor and lost his guts, the 'spear” could not have destroyed his armor of essential Qi.

  This was the end of an utterly defeated person, who no longer had any fight left in him.

  Ou Yangming moved as fast as lightning and attacked continuously by prodding the dwarf’s body for about ten times.

  Each time he prodded, the dwarf’s body trembled violently, which was a result of the dwarf’s meridian being broken.

  After Ou Yangming stabbed his 'spear” for roughly ten times, the dwarf lost all power to resist. It was as if he was left on a chopping board.

  Ou Yangming reached out his hand to lift the dwarf, then he entered the forest on one side of the main road before he put down the enemy and asked, “Who are you? Why did you attack Hu Yicheng and the rest?”

  The dwarf was as white as a sheet.

  He was crippled of martial arts right after his meridians were broken, and the blow was unbearable. The higher one stood, the harder one fell; the dwarf felt more dead than alive at that moment.

  Ou Yangming scoffed. “You’re from the martial arts world too, so I’m sure you’re aware of the countless interrogation methods. Would you like me to use them on you?”

  The dwarf shuddered with fear, which made it evident that he was thinking about how ruthless the methods were.

  He opened his mouth and expressed bitterly, “Senior, I was obsessed because I didn’t know you were secretly protecting them. Now that I’ve made such a huge mistake, I’ll be grateful if you could end me quickly.”

  Ou Yangming forced a smile. “Is that so? Let me ask you—what exactly are you trying to snatch from them?”

  The dwarf widened his eyes. “You! It was you! It was you who heard our conversation…”

  “So what if it was me?” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh.

  “Yes, so what if it was you…” The dwarf’s eyes darkened, and he smiled miserably. “I was born a thief, and I’ve killed numerous people, so it’s karma that I ended up like this… But I’m not resigned to this…”

  As soon as the dwarf’s voice died away, he suddenly looked up, and his initially lifeless eyes began to show an intense red color. In particular, his eyeballs became so red that they were frightening.

  Ou Yangming quivered because he sensed an extremely odd yet forceful mental power being released, and it instantly enveloped him.

  It was a mental power attack.

  A similar description could be found from the various Inheritance Lights in the Ni family’s spiritual world, but Ou Yangming never thought anyone could perform it.

  Mental power was different from martial arts cultivation. Its greatest feature was it being invisible, and it was much more difficult to cultivate and control it as compared to practicing martial arts. While the Ni family introduced this as part of their legacy, it was merely an introduction. As such, the content regarding the way to gather mental power for physical attacks was left empty.

  It was as though there was a vague power barrier in this world, where unique skills that should not exist were fully masked.

  Even for a mighty figure like Elder Universe, he could only move Heaven and Earth’s spiritual power through his mental power to display its might through the form of a strong wind.

  As for the method of directly attacking with mental power, it was almost considered a lost art.

  Nonetheless, Ou Yangming sensed it from the dwarf.

  Next, peculiar mental energy appeared in his sea of consciousness.

  The energy kept dancing in his consciousness, and it released tremendous power to destroy his consciousness.

  Yes, it was a mental power that bore a destructive aura. Once it entered Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, it immediately displayed the most primitive fearsome might.

  “How dare you profane my warrior! You damn Humans! Go to hell… Hey? Why is your mental power so great? This is impossible… How can someone like you exist in this world!”

  A bizarre and mad roar echoed in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness.

  The destructive mental power transformed into a storm, which was about to tear down everything

  Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was not going to wait to be captured with his hands tied even though it was his first time encountering such an event. He swiftly operated his mental power, which he had been tempering every day, forming a massive power in his sea of consciousness to resist the enemy’s power.

  Ou Yangming shivered a little because he sensed the strong determination from the foreign power. It was far from what he could compare, and the willpower seemed to carry a threatening might to destroy Heaven and to destruct Earth.

  Despite that, Ou Yangming was glad that the foreign willpower in his sea of consciousness was not a whole, but an insignificant part of its original state.

  The boundary difference between Ou Yangming and his enemy was probably Heaven and Earth apart, but there was also a great disparity between their powers.

  An elephant could stomp a rat to death, but what if it was only a piece of the elephant’s meat, which was only the size of a fingernail? The meat would likely become a delicious meal for the rat.

  Ou Yangming possessed 40 Points of strong mental power, but he could not release its corresponding might in most situations. This time, his mental power’s mightiness was somehow vividly displayed.

  “Boom…”

  A thunderous explosion was heard in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness as the two different mental powers clashed.

  The mental power that was released by Ou Yangming formed thick substance-like walls in his consciousness to trap the foreign power. Though the strange foreign willpower stirred up a horrifying mental storm, it failed to shake Ou Yangming’s determination.

  After all, Ou Yangming had walked the Testimony Path, and his resolution could not be matched by an ordinary person.

  Once their mental powers clashed hard several times, the queer foreign will showed signs of crumbling.

  That said, just as Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief, he noticed an enormous change in his sea of consciousness.

  The mental storm, which was controlled by the foreign drive, was not only powerful, but it was also unpredictable. After it identified that Ou Yangming’s mental power was out of the ordinary, it changed its combat method right away.

  With that, the vigorous mental storm transformed into a gentle and untouchable trickling water, which began to flow in all directions in the sea of consciousness.

  In terms of a military, the mental power was breaking up into different parts as it avoided the frontal battlefield and adopted guerilla warfare instead.

  Ou Yangming felt
extremely troubled because he had never stumbled upon something like this.

  The young fellow had tried his best to adjust his mental power to encircle the enemy, but no matter how he tried to contain the foreign force, his enemy could always find loopholes to escape. In the end, Ou Yangming’s efforts were in vain.

  He was even more shocked that the willpower did not weaken after the continuous fight; it became stronger instead.

  The battleground was Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, and it was supposed to be a favorable spot for him to fight because his lost power could be constantly replenished. Theoretically, the foreign mental power was like floating duckweed, and it should be worn out bit by bit until it completely vanished in the end.

  Who knew, in the real battle, the mental power that was controlled by this determination was so wonderful that it was beyond Ou Yangming’s imagination.

  The mental power was ever-changing. After it realized it could not damage Ou Yangming’s consciousness in the form of a strong wind, it went from being rigid to being soft. While the power avoided frontal attacks, it kept finding weak points to counterattack too. Moreover, each time it attacked, it could gain something

  Once the willpower crushed Ou Yangming’s scattered mental power, it absorbed them for its use, which was how it strengthened itself.

  Ou Yangming was in despair when he figured it out.

  In the face of the foreign willpower, Ou Yangming’s way of maneuvering his mental power was like an immature baby. As great as his mental power was, he could not eliminate his enemy. It was similar to when he and He Liangce came across the big multicolored tiger in the immense forest. The big tiger was certainly better in strength, but as long as they stayed in the integration of Heaven and man, they could seize the opportunity and succeed.

  “Heh, not bad, your mental power is impressive. You’re truly a genius to have cultivated so far in the world!” The freakish voice was heard once more. “You’re much better than that trash. Now, your body belongs to me!”

  Ou Yangming sat on the ground, but he was already drenched in sweat, so much so that his clothes were soaked.

  No signs of the fight between mental powers could be seen on the surface, but it was a hundred times more dangerous and horrifying than a life-or-death battle between martial arts powerhouses.

  The winner would gain complete victory while the loser would perish; there was no chance for the defeated person to rise again.

  Ou Yangming felt like he could already see his end. No matter how hard he tried to trap his enemy, he could not remove the foreign spiritual will. Instead, it slowly grew bigger, and he knew he would be defeated once it reached a certain point.

  ‘I’m not reconciled at all… I’m not resigned to this!’

  Ou Yangming clenched his fists as he was set on not ending this way.

  His mental conception surged out like a flood, and his intense feeling of unyielding spirit was at the peak.

  An even more mysterious power was awakened from the deepest point in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness.

  A faint purple luster was emitted, causing his consciousness to be brightly lit like daytime.

  “This is… No…”

  The weird voice stopped, and it could not be heard anymore as if it was slashed by a sharp blade.

  The purple light kept squeezing into the center, where it gathered every bit of the foreign power.

  Eventually, when the purple light disappeared, a transparent crystal ball floated in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness.

  Chapter 247 - A Treasure That Aroused Him

  Chapter 247 A Treasure That Aroused Him

  Ou Yangming suddenly opened his eyes and panted heavily.

  He looked frightened after having survived the misfortune.

  Although he managed to eliminate, with the purple light’s help, the spiritual will that invaded his mind, there were so many climaxes throughout the process that it was frightening

  Without the purple light…

  Ou Yangming shook his head as he dared not imagine.

  He finally calmed down after a brief moment. Even though he previously had a similar life-or-death experience, regardless of the disadvantageous spot he was in and the adversity, he never lost hope.

  Even when he exchanged blows with a Supreme Great Ancestor, he had an ultimate trick to escape.

  Once he activated the Blood Flight Art in his waist sash, he could flee 5 kilometers away, and nobody could catch up to him.

  Nonetheless, Ou Yangming reached a dead-end during the mental power fight. In a spiritual fight, it was impossible for one to guard effectively, and one had nowhere to escape to.

  While Ou Yangming emerged victorious by luck, he dared not be proud anymore after having gone through the fight

  Ever since Ou Yangming debuted, he fought Supreme Great Ancestors while he was only in Yin Grade, and he killed Yang Grade powerhouses. The achievements had made him arrogant, but from this point onward, he was not going to be conceited and overconfident anymore.

  The spiritual fight earlier was dangerous, but it was also a sharp warning that woke him up.

  When Ou Yangming looked at the dwarf, he realized that the man’s head had already exploded, blood and brain paste mixed together, causing the ground to be in a mess.

  The peculiar spiritual will did not belong to the dwarf.

  Nevertheless, it was evident that the thing that attached its willpower on the dwarf’s body was a mighty being.

  Ou Yangming studied the dead body for some time and finally confirmed that it could no longer harm him.

  The young fellow did not notice any movements when he looked around him, then he hesitated for a while before he sat down again. Following that, he entered the sea of consciousness.

  His sea of consciousness had regained its normal state, but a clear crystal ball was floating quietly.

  Ou Yangming was undecided at first, but he finally channeled his mental power to it.

  Mental conception and mental power were invisible, but after the purple fire burnt just now, not only was the weird foreign willpower destroyed, but something was also left behind.

  Ou Yangming had not seen anything like that, but he believed that the item was not threatening, or the purple fire would not have let it stay.

  Eventually, his mental power came into contact with the crystal ball.

  Next, a memory content was delivered to him like waves. It was then that Ou Yangming understood what secret was contained in the crystal ball.

  It was a part of the dwarf’s memory when he was alive, as well as a mysterious item’s refining method.

  Perhaps the dwarf’s mental power was too weak, it was not wiped out by the purple fire. Despite that, his memory nearly disappeared fully after it was burned by the purple fire.

  The only things that were left behind were some fragments and a fearsome eye.

  It was worth noting that the eye was incredibly huge. Ou Yangming could not tell if the dwarf imagined it himself or if he saw it, but the image was enough to give one goosebumps.

  When Ou Yangming saw the image, he immediately identified that the terrifying willpower came from the giant eye.

  Since the willpower had already vanished, the image could not bother Ou Yangming.

  After going through fragments of the dwarf’s memory, Ou Yangming had a rough understanding of the dwarf’s background.

  The dwarf was a thief—the head of a great Yang Grade bandit group. He encountered the huge eye in an abandoned land one day, and had been controlled by it ever since.

  Due to the dwarf’s lack of mental power, the eye was mostly asleep.

  It was only several days ago when the huge eye sensed a certain item in Hu Yicheng’s convoy, hence it ordered the dwarf to acquire it.

  The dwarf was powerful, but he knew enough to know the kinds of people whom he should not offend.

  Hu Yicheng was serving in the imperial court as an official, thus if he was killed, the imperial court would
spare no effort in avenging his death. A mere Yang Grade martial artist was truly insignificant toward a dynasty. That said, the dwarf dared not disobey the giant eye’s order too, hence the series of events after that.

  If Ou Yangming had not interrupted, they would have fulfilled their wish and run away to the end of the earth; Ou Yangming’s appearance resulted in an entirely different ending.

  In spite of that, Ou Yangming was not surprised and overjoyed because he found out about the dwarf’s background, but because the crystal ball retained the item’s name and a treasure that could be refined.

  A Big Abdomen Ghost Spider! It was an extremely rare spider. In terms of combat power alone, it was nothing out of the ordinary because it could be killed by a Yin Grade martial artist.

  However, the spider’s big abdomen was a precious treasure.

  It was an ultimate treasure that could connect with space, and the crystal ball stored the method to refine the treasure into an interspatial bag.

  Yes, an interspatial bag-something that had only appeared in legends. Ou Yangming’s heart pounded. Even though his mental conception was still immersed in his sea of consciousness, he could sense the drastic changes in his body. ‘Ah, an interspatial bag!’

  It was not an ordinary piece of equipment at all. Ou Yangming had smithed great magic tools, but they could not resist interspatial bags.

  The young fellow curbed his thoughts after a long time.

  He collected himself and checked the content in the crystal ball, which stored an interspatial bag’s refining method, but it could not be read in one go.

  Firstly, the person who refined it must have a preliminary understanding of interspatial power and the ability to sense it.

  If one did not know what interspatial power was, one could not refine an interspatial item.

  According to the record in the crystal ball, under normal circumstances, one could only sense interspatial power when one’s cultivation base was at a certain level. That being said, for some unique and naturally gifted people, it was not odd that they could sense the power in advance.

  It was just like how some people were born with gifts that were regarded by ordinary people as something unbelievable. For instance, extraordinary memory, natural divine power, and so on. As such, having a natural affinity with interspatial power seemed acceptable.
