Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1058: Top-grade Venerable One

The space in front of Ou Yangming quickly shattered and withered like autumn leaves. A streak of black light condensed out of thin air like a pool of the blood of an evil dragon, pitch-black like ink.

When the true path intent spread in all directions, its aura was as unspeakable as that of a ghost. It seemed that as long as one took a glance at it, they would be captured by the evil spirit and thrown into the hell of Avici. It was also like the waves in a boundless blue sea, sometimes surging and majestic, carrying the power to break through the air, and sometimes smooth and round, continuous and endless. Perhaps it could also be like the peak of an iceberg, with a bone-piercing cold wind that could freeze the soul… All kinds of mysteries were revealed, and it was difficult to describe them with words.

Heaven’s Burial was already close to the essence of the great path.

It could through hell and abyss, and it could shatter the blue sky above. All barriers were like thin gauzes in front of it as it was unstoppable.

The black light swept through the sky and seemed to turn into a dark light that sucked the sky in.

Indeed, Heaven’s Burial could bury the sky.

After one attack, even when Ou Yangming’s dantian had turned into a lake, the spiritual power in his body was still exhausted.

Even when he used the true path intent to activate the Big Avalanche before he was a Venerable One, the spiritual power consumption was only 40%. On the other hand, this attack had squeezed out all the spiritual Qi in his Dantian Lake. One could imagine how powerful it was.

It could only be described as unpredictable.

Just as Ou Yangming’s dantian dried up, rich spiritual Qi surged into his body from every pore. The level of this spiritual Qi was simply not something that the Spiritual Realm could compare to. This was a qualitative change and not a quantitative change.

This time, it was like a long drought meeting a sweet rain. Every pore on OU Yangming’s body opened up, greedily absorbing the spiritual Qi.

Through the naked eye, milky-white energy flowed along his 8 extraordinary meridians. A thunderous explosion came from his body, constantly removing the impurities in his body while a majestic aura swept in all directions.

‘Opportunity!’ This word suddenly popped up in Ou Yangming’s mind. He immediately guarded his spiritual altar and sat cross-legged.

Other than the mysterious great path in his mind, there was nothing else. The aura on his body became stronger.

At this time, if one were to look down from the sky, one would be able to see a scene that would be unforgettable for the rest of one’s life. One could see that the star had turned into a huge magnetic field. The spiritual Qis on the star were surging in one direction like thin and dense mists competing to be the first.,and the core was Ou Yangming. In less than 5 minutes, the Phoenixes’ totem was filled with white mists. Some parts had even turned into spiritual liquid.

A vast spiritual Qi vortex stood on the terrace like an upside-down cyclone that kept spinning. Due to its remarkable spinning speed, the strong winds that were stirred up were like ice-cold blades that cut through everyone’s skin.

Feng Xinxiao’s face hurt. His fingers touched his face as if he had seen a ghost. He screamed, “This… This is impossible!” What did he see? ‘This person’s trying to break through to become a top-grade Venerable One below the Phoenixes’ totem? Isn’t this too f*cking dreamy?’ At this moment, his mind felt like it was being stirred by a giant who was holding a huge stick. Finally, it was stabbed with a loud bang, forming a hole that was difficult to fill.

Feng Yun, who was a powerhouse from the Neutral Sect, sat on his pear blossom chair. His right hand gently rested on Feng Xiang’s shoulder as he remarked, “Brother Feng Xiang, Master Ou’s talent is really too ab…” Before he could finish the word “absurd”, he sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly changed his choice of word and said, “Too mighty.”

At this moment, he had regarded Ou Yangming as his peer. This was also the truth. The young fellow had the strength that was not inferior to that of a Ruler even though he was only a Venerable One. If he broke through to become a top-grade Venerable One, while he might not be able to kill a Ruler, he could very well defeat one.

Feng Yun’s subtle action made Feng Xiang surprised and happy.

Indeed, he was surprised and happy, but the joy was greater than the surprise. Normally, an intimate action like tapping on someone’s shoulder would only be done by someone familiar to him, but Feng Yun had just done it. What did it mean? The Neutral Sect was showing their good impression toward the Peacemaking Sect. As long as they took another step forward, it would be possible to rope them in.

This was all because of Ou Yangming.

After a long while, Feng Xinxiao finally suppressed his emotions. His gaze was gloomy as he coldly glanced at the spiritual Qi vortex.

The regret in his heart had reached its peak. There was a bitter feeling that he could not express. He muttered to himself, ‘I was really critical with my words.’

He knew that with the current situation, even if they won the grand competition this time, they could not recover lost ground.

Lil’ Red kept chirping on King Kong’s shoulder, looking very happy. He turned and asked in a low voice, “King Kong, if it wasn’t for me, how would you have met such a talented master? Don’t you think so?”

“Yes,” King Kong replied with extreme sincerity.

Other than their slight conflict at the beginning, he had always regarded meeting Ou Yangming as the biggest opportunity in his life.

The truth was indeed that. Transcending 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts was not unique in the Spiritual Realm, but it was also very rare. Moreover, now that he had entered the Great Wide World, he owed it all to Ou Yangming.

Lil’ Red smiled even more happily as if he had no worries.

Feng Xiao’s finger lightly brushed past his cheek and sniffed, and he picked up a faint bloody smell. Feeling the sharp cold wind, he smiled bitterly. It was as if he had mixed feelings at this moment. He thought to himself, ‘I really didn’t reap any benefits this time. Instead, I got into all sorts of trouble, damn it!’

Nonetheless, if he were to hate Ou Yangming, would that not be a joke? At this time, he did not even dare to think about it. The Peacemaking Sect and the Main Combat Sect were obviously having a fight between immortals. If he did not hurry and avoid it, he would be dragged into trouble.

All of a sudden, a calm voice came from the center of the spiritual Qi vortex.

“Break!” The voice was not loud, but it had an unquestionable meaning.

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a barrier being broken came from Ou Yangming’s body.

A majestic pressure pressed down from the sky. This was a completely different level of life, and its nobleness surpassed that of the Dragons and the Phoenixes.

All the phoenix powerhouses felt a chill in their hearts. Even the dozen or so Rulers were no exception. They felt a sense of submission in their hearts, and their spines collapsed.

Feng Xinxiao, Feng Yun, and Feng Xiang were the same. There was only one thought left in their hearts. ‘Is this the pressure that came from a superior bloodline?’ They instinctively thought that this was the pressure that came from the peak of the Phoenixes’ bloodline. No one knew that this was actually a brand new level of life. It was because of this that Ou Yangming was able to fight beyond his level.

The pressure was getting stronger to the point that the phoenix powerhouses that were Venerable Ones could not help but tremble. They broke out in cold sweat, and their minds were rumbling.

Just as they could noy endure it anymore, this pressure dissipated.

Finally, when Ou Yangming became a top-grade Venerable One, his Bloodline Power started to show its might.

This was a noble bloodline that could make all races submit. This was a power that surpassed the Dragons, the Phoenixes, and the Upper Tribulations.

Ou Yangming’s mind was empty. He did not notice that a purple light flashed between his eyebrows. His mind could also feel the existence of the Upper Tribulations’ Coffin.

At this moment, he only felt that every muscle and cell in his body was filled with explosive power. He exhaled and probed. The power was transferred to his fist. It was as if one punch could split mountains and rivers. This feeling was simply too wonderful.

Ou Yangming familiarized himself with it for a moment, and his expression became solemn. He cupped his hands and bowed to the totem. He thought to himself, ‘Senior Feng Ling, since I received this inheritance, I’ll surely do my best to protect the Phoenixes and the Great Wide World.

Immediately after, he raised his right hand, and a devilish black light spread out from his palm. He gently pressed against the spiritual Qi vortex and uttered softly, “Disperse.”

The instant his voice was heard, the universe within 333 meters from him shook.

Following that, the spiritual Qi vortex seemed to have encountered an irresistible force and in the blink of an eye, it was torn apart from the middle, turning into mists and dissipating.

Feng Xiang lifted his feet and stepped on the air, riding on the wind. His sleeves fluttered as he landed beside Ou Yangming. He cupped his hands and expressed, “Congratulations, Master Ou, for your breakthrough. In the future, everything will be under your control.” In front of the powerhouses of the Phoenixes, he had called Ou Yangming Master Ou, which was obvious that he had brought the young fellow into the circle of Rulers.

Ou Yangming raised his hand and returned the salutation. He was well-rounded and gave people a very good impression of him.

At this moment, everyone looked at Ou Yangming with a grave expression.

There was only one thought left in their minds, ‘Such a person will be able to stand at the top of the world in the end.’

Ou Yangming looked around. Of course, he did not know what everyone was thinking. Even if he knew, he would not take it to heart. He raised his steps slightly and walked to Feng Duxin’s side. He said calmly, “Master Feng, let’s continue.”

“Please…” Feng Duxin raised his hand and gestured. His expression was solemn.

He understood that the opponent in front of him possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Fire.

While he could not understand why the Heavenly Phoenix Fire was not purple but white, the totem emitted purple light. There was no doubt that it was the Heavenly Phoenix Fire. As such, even he would be troubled by such an opponent.

Ou Yangming let out a breath of turbid air, and a white flame lit up. It was so pure and unsullied, and so beautiful that it was difficult to describe.

After becoming a top-grade Venerable One, the temperature of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire became even higher and could melt all things. Its reputation as the master of all flames was well-deserved.

Ou Yangming flipped his wrist and with a crisp sound, all kinds of materials flew out like streams of light, suspended in mid-air, then scattered in all directions.

Snow Mountain Ores, Heavenly Beard Rocks, Black Dragon Horns…

More than 20 kinds of precious materials quickly fused into the fire. These materials were rarely seen in the Spiritual Realm, and every one of them was precious. Even in the Great Wide World, it was not easy to find them. Only because the Phoenixes were wealthy and had a profound foundation could they take out so many in one go. Of course, these materials were prepared in advance by Feng Xiang for Ou Yangming. Otherwise, with the young fellow’s wealth at the moment, he would not be able to take out so many of them.

These materials were integrated into the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in no particular order. At Ou Yangming’s level, he could no longer be limited to a certain arrangement in equipment smithing. He could assemble the materials according to the needs as he pleased.

In fact, Ou Yangming’s smithing cultivation could be considered the best in the Great Wide World. After all, his Heavenly Phoenix Fire was too much like a cheat code. Besides, his comprehension in this field was too high, and he could already smith magic weapons.

Magic weapons were divine items that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after even in the Great Wide World.

Even with the Phoenixes’ strength and heritage, it was impossible for everyone to have one. Those young phoenix powerhouses might have seen a magic weapon, but they were definitely not qualified to obtain one and use it.

Otherwise, it might not necessarily be a blessing for them.
