Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 771: Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment

The mountain breeze was biting cold, causing Ou Yangming to shrink his neck a little as he felt cold. He could only respond with a smile, “There’s no need to wait; I can start now.”

Ou Yangming looked at Multi-armed King Kong—the humongous creature—and walked over slowly to touch its arm, whereas the king kong looked at him with respect and admiration. Ever since it was forced by Lil’ Red to acknowledge the young fellow as its master, its life had changed drastically, and it also benefited a lot. Even as the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s son, before that, it would not have dared to think about owning a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One noticed the look on Multi-armed King Kong’s face. Instead of wanting to rebuke the king kong, it was rather glad.

Even if one was only slightly involved with that race, the benefits that slipped through their fingers would also be unimaginable.

The old macaque stroked its beard and remarked with a smile, “10,000 Beasts, your son’s profoundly blessed and extremely gifted; it has a bright future!” It lamented and tapped the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s shoulder gently. It was worth noting that it was the only one in the Beast King Sect that had the guts to do that.

A fervent light could be seen in the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s eyes. It nodded and noted, “As long as King Kong can get through the disaster, it’ll be resurrected through the fire.”

Ou Yangming patted King Kong’s arm again and chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely succeed. I’ve smithed pieces of Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment in the lower realm. Now that my smithing art has improved so much, it won’t be a problem at all.” Although the Thunderbolts Disaster in the Spiritual Realm could not be compared with that of the lower realm, the young fellow’s skills could not be mentioned on equal terms with his skills in the past.

Multi-armed King Kong flashed a simple smile and lifted its arm to touch its head as it replied to the young fellow in a muffled voice, “Of course, I trust you, Master.” The king kong addressed Ou Yangming as its master without an ill feeling at all as it did it out of its will. At this moment, it was incredibly grateful for Sir Lil’ Red, and it thought, ‘If it wasn’t because of sir, how could I have met such a nice master!’

Without further ado, Ou Yangming accepted the interspatial bag that was brought here by the old macaque, then he retrieved the materials for the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit one after another.

Blood Desire Ores, Golden Forest Base Baskets, Tiankeng Wood…

These materials were not rare, but only influential sects with profound foundations could take out so many of them in one go.

The old macaque, Yuqi the Venerable One, and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One held their breaths as they stared at Ou Yangming’s Heavenly Phoenix Fire. In particular, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable looked anxious, which was rare. In fact, this was unprecedented as the Venerable One had always been calm and composed.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

As Ou Yangming’s Heavenly Phoenix Fire burned, a piece of armor emitted red light amidst the fire.

Ou Yangming’s movements were smooth as he did everything in one breath, which was a different kind of aesthetic feeling. Numerous runes danced like perfect fire elves on the armor, and when the young fellow made the last stroke, the armor lit up against common sense. The light was gentle unlike an intense and striking one, but the void vibrated as though a ripple reverberated.

It would be fine if that was all but what marveled the others more was how the runes on the armor were entangled and connected to draw the most perfect arc on it. The light that was emitted radiated and enveloped the entire courtyard, leaving countless purple flowers that bloomed like flowers in the summer.

This time, Ou Yangming finally sensed something.

The power contained in the armor was so powerful that it could not be increased further. It was only a piece of equipment, but if more of them were combined to form a suit that comprised magic tools, it would not be strange for the suit to resist the Heavenly Thunderbolts. Moreover, as long as one slightly activated one’s mental power under the thunderbolts, the power inside the equipment would be released at once, and the purple flowers on it would also glow to produce an immeasurable power.

“You succeeded? Did you really succeed?” Yuqi the Venerable One and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One asked at the same time.

At this point, even if they were Venerable Ones, they were very agitated. It was a piece of Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment, after all, and only those that experienced the Thunderbolts Disaster would understand how valuable such a piece of equipment was. The Venerable Ones had lingering fear when they recalled the pain that they suffered back then but most importantly, they knew very well that one would have a new lease of life after surviving the disaster.

The old macaque shook its head and felt that it could not perceive the young fellow no matter what.

It wondered, ‘What does he not know?’

Ever since Ou Yangming entered the Beast King Sect, he had shocked everyone too much. One could imagine the ripples that would be formed if a large rock was thrown into a calm lake. Similarly, the young fellow was the large rock.

Once the armor was smithed, Ou Yangming moved his fingers swiftly and smithed a full Thunderbolt-resistant Suit after half a day. He did not make any mistake as if he had practiced this 1,000 or 10,000 times. When the fire in his hand was finally out, everyone sighed a breath of relief as if the rocks on their chests were lifted.

Even Yuqi the Venerable One and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One were in awe of Ou Yangming’s equipment smithing speed.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming’s face darkened, and he looked discontent.

The heads of the 3 Venerable Ones “thudded”. Especially the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, it quickly took a few steps forward to ask the young fellow, “Master Ou, is something wrong?” He was very worried because this was about Multi-armed King Kong’s Thunderbolts Disaster. The king kong was its son, thus it could not help but worry.

Ou Yangming pondered for some time before he shook his head and answered, “This Thunderbolt-resistant Suit’s effect seems to be below expectation.”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s head “thudded” again, and it thought, ‘Below expectation—how bad is it?’

From its perspective, the suit would be more than great if it could absorb 30% of the Heavenly Thunderbolts’ powers. Judging from Ou Yangming’s facial expression, it did not seem like that would be the case.

“How much of the thunderbolts’ powers can it absorb then?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One asked in a deep voice.

The old macaque and Yuqi the Venerable One pricked up their ears too as they cared a lot about this matter.

Ou Yangming looked quite regretful as he sighed and answered, “It can only absorb about 70% of the thunderbolts’ powers; perhaps the universe’s law in the Spiritual Realm is different from that of the lower realm. What a pity—the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit that I previously smithed in the lower realm could absorb 80% of the thunderbolts’ powers and above.” He shook his head helplessly.

As nobody responded to him and the atmosphere seemed off, Ou Yangming asked in shock, “What’s wrong?”

The Venerable One had strange looks on their faces, and they repeated the young fellow’s words internally, ‘It can only absorb 70% of the thunderbolts’ powers…’

Despite being Venerable Ones, they almost cursed out loud. ‘Good fella, you’re not satisfied even when it can absorb 70% of the thunderbolts’ powers? How much do you want it to absorb? 100%?’

It was dead silent for some time, but the old macaque came back to its senses and asked with a fervent look in its eyes, “Master Ou, can it really absorb 70% of the thunderbolts’ powers?”

“Yes, it’s too low indeed…” Ou Yangming smiled embarrassedly and touched his nose.

‘Little? If 70% is considered low, how big exactly is your heart?’ The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Yuqi the Venerable One thought at the same time. They felt helpless, but their eyes gleamed, and they attached more importance to Ou Yangming than before. There were not many top-grade combat powers in the Spiritualist not because the beings were not gifted enough or did not have stable dispositions. Most importantly, it was due to the Thunderbolts Disaster. Taking Immortal Fox as an example, it was extraordinarily talented, but it was still blocked outside the door.

It was not that it could not get through it, but it dared not take that step!

Now, Ou Yangming was giving them hope.

A hope to bring up numerous powerhouses. With the help of the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit that could absorb 70% of the thunderbolts’ powers, the enormous mountain in front of the Spirit Grade powerhouses became weaker by at least 50%.

Apart from Ou Yangming, Multi-armed King Kong was the only one that was not surprised.

This was because it had become used to this after staying by the young fellow’s side for a long time.

He was truly a God-favored one, after all. If one were to be shocked by him every time, one would be too busy.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One waved its sleeves and clapped non-stop. It was so thrilled that it almost wanted to hold Ou Yangming’s hands to thank him.

Having said that, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was stunned when it saw Ou Yangming retrieve a blank formation board. The greatest powerhouse on the 10,000 Beasts ridge withdrew its hands embarrassedly and felt afraid for the first time. It was not because of its strength, but it was being responsible for Multi-armed King Kong as its father.

Ou Yangming held the formation map with one hand and handed the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit to Multi-armed King Kong with his other hand. He chuckled and said, “Try it.”

Multi-armed King Kong touched its head and put on the suit. The dazzling silver light made it look majestic, and the shiny purple lights that could be seen from time to time made it love the suit more.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was at ease. It looked at its son and sighed. With the help of this Thunderbolt-resistant Suit, it believed that Multi-armed King Kong could get through the Thunderbolts Disaster. As such, its gratitude toward Ou Yangming reached an extremity.

Ou Yangming curbed his thought and began to refine an Earthly Formation Board skillfully.

Numerous fresh runes were carved by him. Each time he made a stroke, even though it was neither magnificent nor soul-stirring, it made everyone feel complete as though their messy thoughts had been gotten rid of.

Soon enough, a formation board was refined. The runes were connected from end to end and were flawless.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and held the Earthly Formation Board steadily in his hands. A dignified intent was released from the board.

The 3 powerhouses were surprised. The white-haired old macaque took the initiative to ask, “Master Ou, what’s this?” It had prepared the materials for Ou Yangming, but it did not know what they were going to be used for.

Ou Yangming spread out his hands and answered, “This is an Earthly Formation Board.”

The 3 powerhouses were relieved, and they thought, ‘Luckily—luckily it isn’t something outrageous.’ Even they did not realize that they had unknowingly regarded the Intermediate Spiritualist as an abnormal person.

However, what Ou Yangming said next made the powerhouses feel like their hearts were almost going to fall out.

“I want to refine 1,080 formation boards and set up an Earthly Formation to resist the Heavenly Thunderbolts with the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit.”

“What? A formation.” Yuqi the Venerable One thought that he was mistaken. The young fellow was talking about a formation instead of a formation board, but the disparity between them was simply indescribable.

The old macaque looked deeply and meaningfully at Ou Yangming.

As for the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, it was surprised yet overjoyed. ‘With the help of the formation and the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit, King Kong will be able to get through the Heavenly Thunderbolts, right?’

Following that, Ou Yangming continued to work. The second, the third… After 3 days, 1,080 formation boards were refined, and the young fellow finally relaxed.
