The Eight-armed Giant Beast had tried its best to evade the skills, but its body was too massive. As such, Elder Universe and the others could easily release their skills on it without needing to aim.
Owing to the skills’ speeds and powers, they could not be avoided by the Eight-armed Giant Beast once they were released.
Therefore, nearly 100 skills hit it without any exception.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast trembled as different parts of its body reacted dissimilarly to the attacks. The spots on its body were either covered in frost, burnt, or had visibly shriveled, which were ghastly sights.
If the roughly 100 skills were released on a human instead, even Wu Yuanwei—the imperial family’s number one powerhousewould not be able to survive.
However, the Eight-armed Giant Beast was too bulky. Though it was heavily injured by the skill attacks, it was not on the verge of death.
The beast lifted eight of its arms again. Its body was covered in wounds, but it opened its mouth and roared at the top of its lungs.
“Be careful, it’s going to go all out!” Li Xinfan yelled.
Everyone else tapped the front of their chests, causing yellow lights to be released as they simulated the Indestructible Defense skill on their armors. They did not know if the skill could stop the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s horrific power, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
The Eight-armed Giant Beast was green with envy.
‘Nearly 100 magic skill tools and almost 100 defensive armors…
‘Oh God, where’s this place? It can’t be the lower realm that lacked spiritual power! Did I f*cking come to the wrong place?
‘Even normal cities in the upper realm won’t be able to provide these pieces of equipment, can they?’
As the Eight-armed Giant Beast roared, it sounded so violent that the great ancestors were petrified. How many of them would have to die to stop the beast if it went all out?
That being said, it was then when the giant beast leaped.
The crowd looked up with worry, but they soon noticed the giant beast slowly becoming smaller, smaller, smaller…
When that fellow jumped into mid-air, it flew backward as if it was pulled by a certain power behind it.
The Supreme Great Ancestors looked at each other and wondered, ‘What happened to going all out?’
‘Did we just fend off the high-rank spirit beast?’
Looking at the magic tools in their hands, the great ancestors, whose bodies were glowing in yellow lights, felt like they were dreaming.
Chapter 402 - The Sky-devouring Evil Remnant
In the small alley, Ou Yangming grinned, but his eyes were ice-cold and unperturbed.
He seemed to have entered a realm free from desires when he stared at the unknown elder in front of him, such that nobody could perceive anything from his eyes. The young fellow’s 99 points of mental power formed an invisible wall, which blocked every external power away from him.
The unusual look in the elder’s eyes slowly faded away after a long time, and remarked with a nod, “Not bad, you’ve indeed acquired my master’s inheritance. Congratulations.”
Ou Yangming smiled faintly and looked like his mind was elsewhere.
“Please forgive me for asking this out of curiosity-how did you gain Master’s power?”. The elder asked after some thought.
Ou Yangming pondered for some time, but instead of answering the elder, he asked him in return, “Did you bring this power to our world?”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t because I descended to this world, hehe, based on this world’s level of power, how can it accommodate Master’s power?” The elder answered proudly.
“Oh, so were you the one who brought the Fire-absorbing Badges too?”
“Yes.” The elder did not plan to keep it a secret. “I chose a Supreme Great Ancestor among the Humans in this world to distribute 9 Fire-absorbing Badges so that he can collect deadly powers, but only half of them achieved the goal.
Ou Yangming’s eyes finally moved a little because he found out the Fire-absorbing Badges’ origin.
It turned out that there was a hidden powerful figure behind them.
“Are there others like you in our world?”
The elder responded after a moment of hesitation, “A junior brother of mine crossed the space with me but there was a small mishap during the process, so we were separated, and I have no idea where he is. Our target is this world, but seeing as how he got lost when he crossed the space, he likely ended up in a grim situation.”
Ou Yangming nodded but began to make sense of something The elder’s junior brother had not truly died, but he lost his physical body when he crossed the space. In the end, his soul entered a Yang Grade powerhouse’s body by mistake.
Unfortunately, that person came across Ou Yangming, causing his body and soul to be destroyed in the end.
“I won’t force you if you don’t want to let me know, but since you received Master’s power, we’re a family from now on,” the elder noted in a deep voice.
“I’m extremely curious about something-why are the items known as Fire-absorbing Badges?” Ou Yangming curled his lips into a smile.
The elder furrowed his eyebrows and had an even more sinister look on his face. He was displeased because Ou Yangming refused to answer his question, but he forced himself to hold back his anger and explained, “Because Master has a formidable enemy who’s adept in the fire mastery power, so I named the badges like that.”
Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, he nodded and was deep in thoughts. “You’re a cultivator in this realm, but given that you obtained Master’s power, you have a promising future and can’t stay here forever,” the elder added.
“Are you hoping that I’ll go beyond Heaven?” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Go beyond Heaven?” The elder was dazed for a while before he stated with a laugh, “I suppose it’s indeed an act of breaking out of this world for natives like you.”
Ou Yangming asked, “You have the way to do that?”
“Of course.” The elder sounded confident and proud. “Given Master’s power, it’s a piece of cake for him to break this world’s barrier. In fact, this world can be easily destroyed too.”
‘Destroy this world?’ Ou Yangming felt a chill in his heart.
‘Is that Sky-devouring Devil God’s power that remarkable?’
“Now, we need to create massacres because Master’s power will be perfected as more living beings die.” The elder said fervently, “The war between the Humans and the Beasts is the best opportunity for Master to upgrade his power; even God’s helping us.”
Ou Yangming looked up and asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“I’ll break the walls for the Beasts to enter the city. That’s the only way to create a greater slaughter.” The elder had a strange look in his eyes.
“Are you helping the Beasts to kill the Humans?” Ou Yangming’s face darkened.
“You’re wrong. I’m only creating more deadly auras because as long as more living beings die, regardless if they’re the Beasts of the Humans, we’ll benefit from it,” the elder explained leisurely.
“Oh, why would you break the walls then? Aren’t you providing a better condition for the Beasts?”
The elder smirked. “This is only one of the Humans’ big cities, so it won’t be a big deal even if it’s wiped out. Hehe, I want the Beasts to flood the city and cause endless annihilation, then I’ll kill the beast king and use its vigor to leave this world by breaking the barrier.”
“Boom…”
At the spur of the moment, a thunderous rumble was heard coming from afar. Ou Yangming was quite a distance away from the action, but he could sense the intense energy waves over there.
He asked with bright eyes, “What was that?”
“Perhaps the beast king couldn’t wait and decided to make a move.” The elder narrowed his eyes and sighed with pleasure. “Ah, the massacre is getting bigger; making it more intense!”
“Yes, make it more intense.” Ou Yangming nodded after some thought, then he inched toward the elder without a sound.
Without warning, a flash of saber-light was seen coming from his hand as he turned his wrist. Consequently, the small dark alley became as bright as the day as though a little Sun had emerged. As the saber-light carried a harsh light, it was slashed at the elder.
An ear-splitting sound was heard as the sharp blade pierced the air, and it mercilessly lacerated the elder into two.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was taken aback. He immediately withdrew his saber and backed away, and his armor released a yellow light to envelop his body.
The elder’s corpse, which was cut into two, shook and disappeared with the wind.
It was the Illusion Art.
The body was only an illusion made by an incredibly wonderful Illusion Art, by which even Ou Yangming, who mastered the Simulated Spiritual Fist and had 99 points of mental power, did not notice it at all. “Why do you want to kill me?”
A questioning voice was heard in the void. It drifted from place to place, thus Ou Yangming did not know where it came from.
The young fellow sneered while he stood still. “That was amazing; your Illusion Art has achieved perfection!”
On the other hand, the little phoenix that hid in the dark cursed softly, “Don’t you say? Without the Illusion Art, I would’ve killed him multiple times already!”
“I’ll forget about your killing intent. As long as you’re willing to initiate a mass killing with me to absorb more deadly auras, I’ll bring you out of this world and show you the charm of a real world,” the elder spoke again. “You’ll forget about it? Do you think I’ll buy it?” Ou Yangming smiled smugly. “You will,” The elder sounded earnest. “You’re the only living being I met who can receive Master’s inheritance. As long as you’re willing to follow Master’s arrangements, it doesn’t matter if you kill me.” Ou Yangming scorned. “If that’s the case, why don’t you let me kill you?” “It’s because you haven’t inherited Master’s legacy.” The elder spoke as if it was such a pity. “If you’re truly an embodiment of my master, you can control my life or death with a flash of thought.”
Needless to say, Ou Yangming did not believe in his nonsense. He scanned the alley and searched every suspicious spot.
The elder had detached himself from Ou Yangming’s vision and senses by using the Illusion Art, but no doubt he was hiding nearby.
As long as Ou Yangming could find the elder, he was confident that he could kill him.
He must not let such a dangerous figure leave.
“You can’t find me. You’re short-sighted and inadequate, so you can’t perceive the ability from the real world.” The elder was indifferent.
Ou Yangming kept quiet and was not affected by the elder’s words at all. Next, his eyes lit up because he felt the Military Fire bounce in his sense of consciousness, and it was leading him in a certain direction.
The young fellow focused and chose to trust the Military Fire.
He could not understand why the Military Fire changed so mysteriously, but he would not mind it becoming more sensitive as long as he could find that fellow.
Over there, everything seemed normal.
Ou Yangming wondered, then he kicked in that direction.
His greave glowed all of a sudden, causing bits of blue light to appear in the void. It was the water series power, a unique skill provided by an aristocratic family’s disciple adept in that mastery. Despite that, a forceful offensive skill would normally be attached to weapons. Ou Yangming, a “rich” man who was not bothered about the value of magic tools, was the only person who could simply attach the skill to a greave. The water-mastery blue lights covered that space but just as they were about to fall to the ground, mighty power in the corner blocked some of them.
As for the remaining blue lights, then made a turn and zoomed in that direction as if they found their outlet.
However, invisible shields appeared and stopped all the blue lights.
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows as he was delighted. That fella’s hiding here indeed.’ The little phoenix briefly combed its feathers with its beak, and it looked rather pleased.
‘Sure enough, this young human is closely connected with my clan; he received the information once I guided him a little.’
Later on, the elder showed on again, but he had a ghastly look on his face. “How did you find my real body?”
Chapter 403 - How Many Pieces Of Equipment
Ou Yangming smiled mischievously at the elder, but he thought, ‘How did I know you’re hiding here? I simply guessed it, okay? In fact, it was the Military Fire in my sea of consciousness that guessed it.’ Needless to say, he was not going to say that out loud. He grinned mysteriously and waved his hand gently.
Wind blades and blue splashes were released in an instant, but Ou Yangming’s essential Qi was also being consumed by a huge margin. Through the skills in his pieces of equipment, he could release powers that did not belong to him, but they could not be released without an end.
Certain essential Qi was required for each release, and the greater the power released, the more the essential Qi needed.
The relationship was directly proportionate, and it was not opportunistic at all.
In actuality, based on Ou Yangming’s mental power, after he grasped the runes, he could use his mental power to activate the skills. Nonetheless, the young fellow rather use his essential Qi than his mental power.
As two different energies zoomed in the elder’s direction, he scoffed and reached out his skinny hands to stroke in the air. Consequently, shields that shone in peculiar lights appeared around him once more and blocked Ou Yangming’s skill attacks with ease. Nevertheless, just as the elder sneered and wanted to ridicule or persuade the young fellow, his vision was blurred as he was greeted with various lusters again.
The elder furrowed his eyebrows and said contemptuously, “Fine. Give me everything you have, and we’ll talk again when you’re exhausted.”
He was still rather afraid of Ou Yangming, but instead of the young fellow’s martial arts, it was because of his identity. A genius who could receive the Sky-devouring Inheritance in the lower realm would have an entirely different status in the upper realm. Therefore, even as Ou Yangming attacked him, the elder did not intend to kill.
Ou Yangming curled his lips into a meaningful smile. He kept wielding the pieces of equipment on his body and released forceful powers one after another.
At the same time, the young fellow turned his wrist and retrieved his interspatial bag, then he discreetly placed a lump of average-sized meat behind him. Similarly, Ou Yangming also withdrew a military saber from the bag.
As the Military Fire burned, he attached the Devouring attributes on the saber.
Afterward, he pointed the military saber to the back and stabbed the piece of meat.
An endless stream of energy flowed from the flesh and blood into his body through the saber, then the energies transformed into surging essential Qi that entered his dantian.
Ou Yangming had finished with Big Yellow his portion of the Earthly Dragon Beasts’ flesh and blood. Despite that, when he returned to the prefecture and requested Her Royal Highness for some more, the princess gave a quarter of her share to him without any hesitation.
He was extremely touched.
Back then, Ou Yangming could not have carried the pieces of meat around, but now, they could only fill up his biggest interspatial back.
To him, he seemed to be carrying around a treasure that provided an endless supply of energy. As long as he was not killed in one move, he would not need to worry about having insufficient power. Ou Yangming kept simulating the skills on his arm guards and greaves. Although they could not cause fatal damages to the elder, due to the skill attacks, the elder could not stay out of his sight by using the Illusion Art. As long as the young fellow continued this for a long time, the elder would be drained.
He sensed that his arm guards and greaves were beginning to burn. When the young fellow kept inciting the Rune Energies on them, even when he provided abundant essential Qi, the pieces of equipment could not withstand the mighty powers’ impacts.
Ou Yangming was speechless. After all, the carved pieces of equipment were magic tools.
If even the magic tools could not withstand the skills’ powers for a long time, it could only mean that the skills were out of the ordinary.
The elder smiled faintly as though he knew this was going to happen, so he was not surprised at all.
Even though magic skill tools were incredible, they were also quite limited. The essential Qi requirements and the depletion of the tools themselves were troubling issues.
However, it was quite rare that magic tools could be enhanced to such a level in this world.
The elder quietly waited. Once Ou Yangming was at his wit’s end, he would counterattack.
That said, it was then when he saw… Ou Yangming worked at the speed of light as he removed the burning arm guards and greaves. Following that, he retrieved new arm guards and greaves from his interspatial bag and put them on, then he continued to attack the elder.
A white ice arrow appeared and was launched at the elder at an odd angle. On the other hand, white frost was also formed in the void.
The temperature in this area lowered out of the blue, especially the spot in the center, which was filled with frost. As such, one was forced to move slower.
Upon seeing this, the elder was stunned, and his face took on a ghastly expression because he sensed that the powers released by Ou Yangming this time were greater than before. Besides, the ice arrow and frost released were two skills that could be matched with each other. when they were combined, the power generated increased by a few times, so much so that the elder dared not neglect it anymore.
The elder moved his hands and produced virtual shields one by one, but he was shocked to find thin layers of frost on them.
