Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 416 The First Thunder-mastery Equipment

Strange yet powerful energies were released, and they echoed in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness. Each time they echoed, he felt something unique as if he had a deeper understanding of thunderbolts.

This was because there was a connection between his soul and Multi-armed King Kong’s, creating a mysterious yet unimaginable feeling between them. It was just like how the giant beast could sense the young fellow’s comprehension of its thunderbolt power at this moment.

Although Ou Yangming seemed inferior to Multi-armed King Kong in this aspect, how much longer had the latter learned the power as compared to the former? Therefore, the giant beast stared at the young fellow in this belief.

If it was not certain that Ou Yangming was indeed a native and knew nothing about the thunderbolt power before this, it would have suspected his identity.

Nonetheless, the giant beast did not know while Ou Yangming was inexperienced in the thunderbolt power, his natural smithing technique had endless wonderful functions. The technique allowed him to borrow another person’s experiences to derive runes, and he could then apprehend the abilities through them. This was the biggest reason Ou Yangming could smith different pieces of Skill Equipment even though he did not know much about the different powers. “Boom…”

The thunderous sound in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness became louder, to the extent that he felt like Heaven and Earth would be destroyed. Nevertheless, everything happened inside his sea of consciousness, thus apart from Multi-armed King Kong—the initiatorand Big Yellow, nobody could sense it.

Even so, the two formidable creatures reacted differently. Multi-armed King Kong was unbothered as though the thunderbolts were non-existent, whereas the big yellow dog was panic-stricken as if it would soon face a great enemy.

Their different reactions seemed to have portrayed the disparity between their strengths too. Despite that, the big yellow dog immediately noticed something unusual. It stopped shuddering and widened its eyes at Multi-armed King Kong as if it was challenging it.

Multi-armed King Kong did not spare the big yellow dog a glance at all. It carefully pinched the embroidery-needle-like rod and did its best to control its power within a reasonable range. With the precondition that Ou Yangming’s safety was guaranteed, the giant beast tried to let him fathom the thunderbolt power as much as possible.

The big yellow dog’s provocation was merely a joke to it. Besides, Ou Yangming did not have the time to care about the yellow dog too because he arrived at the most crucial stage. Amid the hundred, his natural smithing technique finally grasped something.

Following that, a wonderful rune was slowly formed within the Military Fire as Ou Yangming’s mental power surged like monstrous waves. He had understood that his mental power had to be on a certain level for him to perceive the thunderbolt power.

If that was not the case, he would simply be courting death.

Fortunately, his mental power was barely qualified, but he still lamented because he was still at the border despite having 99 points of mental power. The young fellow wondered, ‘How fearsome are the powerhouses who study the thunderbolt power in Multi-armed King Kong’s original world?’.

Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and finally felt that the timing was right. He unleashed his mental power at that instant, where they surrounded his understanding of the thunderbolt power and gathered together.

The young fellow had assembled tens of different Skill Runes, but he had never been so attentive. It was only because Ou Yangming felt that the power was closely related to his life and that he might one day be killed by the power if he did not learn it well.

“Boom…”

Substantial energies gathered in an instant, then the rune was finally formed successfully.

As soon as the rune took shape, Ou Yangming focused on it entirely because he was eager to grasp the remarkable power.

Sure enough, the Thunderbolt Rune was far more complicated than the other Skill Runes. Among runes grasped by Ou Yangming in the past, even the most complicated one became as simple as 1, 2, 3 in comparison with it. Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and finally opened his eyes. He looked exhausted because the amount of mental power required for knowledge was way more than he had expected.

Having said that, it was all worth it. Ou Yangming and the two powerful beast kinds were pleased with the outcome.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog barked all of a sudden.

“Okay, let me try.” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh.

The young fellow stared at the rod in his hands with bright eyes. He had used the rod as a medium to decipher the thunderbolt power, but it was not damaged at all. In fact, the rod, which was made from tens of peculiar stones, was not scratched at all, which was evident how tough it was.

Next, the Military Fire emerged from the rod, and it seemed like it was going to be released without an end.

The blazing fire enveloped the whole rod.

Multi-armed King Kong’s face changed the instant the fire appeared. It feared and revered the fire as though it was born to be afraid of it.

The big yellow dog’s eyes lit up. It stayed away from the Military Fire too but it was out of respect, which was much better than the giant spirit beast.

Out of the various comparisons Big Yellow made ever since it met Multi-armed King Kong, this seemed to be the first time it was triumphant.

As such, the big yellow dog stuck out its chest proudly as if it had completely surpassed its frightening opponent.

Ou Yangming obviously could not care about the trivial matter between the two beasts because he was fully focused on his magic rod. His face took on a grave expression, and he operated his mental power to the maximum.

The Thunderbolt Rune was complicated beyond his imagination. Most importantly, according to his understanding of it so far, he had not truly grasped it yet.

When he learned the other Skill Runes, not only could he carve them on pieces of equipment, but he could also repeatedly generate them in his sea of consciousness after some time and could release them with his bare hands.

On the other hand, for the Thunderbolt Rune, he could only achieve the former at most. As for releasing it with his bare hands, it was out of his capability for the time being.

Ou Yangming could not fully fathom the Thunderbolt Rune overnight.

Soon enough, marks slowly appeared on the rod. They were the Thunderbolt Rune’s veined paths, and the growing paths indicated that the piece of Skill Equipment was almost completed.

The young fellow quietly maintained the mental power fluctuation and continued to burn the Military Fire.

Given that the Thunderbolt Rune’s mystery had exceeded his limit, he could only carve it on the equipment accordingly.

Needless to say, this was only a process for him as he made sense of and used the thunderbolt power. At the end of the day, his goal was to smith pieces of thunderbolt-proof equipment.

If one wanted to resist a certain power, one needed to understand it first. Honestly, Ou Yangming was doing very well in this aspect. He was fully immersed in the equipment for an hour.

Back then, no matter the type of equipment, even if it was a piece of Skill Equipment, he would not have wasted so much time. However, he gladly endured the process of the new but threatening power.

In actuality, Ou Yangming made two mistakes throughout the process because the rune paths were too complicated. Nonetheless, the Military Fire was unbelievably wonderful as it made some adjustments to erase the mistakes, allowing him to start again from the ruptures.

Most importantly, the veined paths were still seamless, so much so that one would not be able to spot a single flaw.

If Wu Hongxi and the other Superior Blacksmiths knew how marvelous Ou Yangming’s Military Fire was, they would probably be so envious that their eyes would

bulge.

When Ou Yangming turned his wrist, the scorching fire finally disappeared. Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow were thrilled at once as they were looking forward to the outcome.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Multi-armed King Kong, you’ve already grasped the thunderbolt power, so why are you so nervous?”

The giant spirit beast smiled embarrassedly. “Master, even in our world, many powerhouses have a superficial knowledge of the power, but it’s extremely rare to find one who can carve the Thunderbolt Rune on a piece of equipment. As a result, every piece of equipment related to thunderbolts is 10 or even 100 times more valuable than an equal-ranked piece of equipment.”

Ou Yangming was moved, and he nodded as though he understood it.

Afterward, he waved his rod and laughed. “This is my first of thunder-mastery equipment, so let’s test how mighty it is.”

The young fellow gently shook his hand to channel his essential Qi into the rod. With that, he successfully simulated the Rune Formation Map inside. Consequently, the rod glowed and released a surging terrifying aura.

Multi-armed King Kong and Big Yellow watched with gleaming eyes. In particular, the former widened its large mouth to express its shock. While Ou Yangming said that he had successfully smithed the equipment, it did not believe him at all.

It was only giving a subconscious response earlier.

In reality, it was true that very few people in the upper realm could master the thunderbolt power. Hence, even when Multi-armed King Kong was certain that Ou Yangming could eventually achieve it in the end because he had the purple Military Fire, it did not mean that he could succeed on his first attempt.

Who knew, Ou Yangming’s rod released the thunderbolt power’s unique aura. Upon seeing this, the giant spirit beast was truly in awe.

‘Did Master manage to perceive the power on his first try?’ “Tss…”

A strange sound was heard coming from the rod. Silver light shot out in the forward direction, but it looked and sounded like a snake. The silver snake was incredibly fast, by which it arrived on a gigantic tree in the blink of an eye.

The tree was surrounded by the silver light, which was so striking that Ou Yangming and the two giant beasts could not open their eyes.
