Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1044: Breaking Through the Sky

In the Big Ruins, it was pitch-black and deep. Strong winds swept up the yellow sand into the sky.

When they fell again, the world started to rain yellow sand as if a curtain was made of yellow sand.

Amidst the yellow sand, a white-clothed man’s face was calm. Half of his cloth shoes, which had a light-colored bottom with red and grey intersecting each other, sank into the yellow sand. His movements were neither fast nor slow. Nonetheless, every step he took was several kilometers long. Even the smallest movement from him could be seen clearly. It was bewildering.

Behind him, another 4 Venerable Ones were flying in the air, trying their best to catch up.

This line-up was considered luxurious in the Spiritual Realm.

Although the Big Ruins was indescribably dangerous, Ou Yangming had comprehended the path of Yin and Yang, hence this bit of danger was not worth mentioning at all.

It did not take long for them to arrive at the valley inside Mount Return Sword.

Ou Yangming stepped on the void and narrowed his eyes. After sensing carefully for a moment, he said softly, “The path of time and space, huh? And the path of life and death. No wonder the spiritual items in the valley can be resurrected.”In just a moment, he could sense the 3 top great paths. One could imagine how high Xu Aoran’s cultivation base was back then.

The moment he stopped, King Kong and the other Venerable Ones had caught up to him.

Multi-armed King Kongtouched the back of his head and asked softly, “Master, where’s this place?”

“The Land to Heaven,” Ou Yangming answered.

“The Land to Heaven?” The king kong was puzzled.

On the contrary, Lil’ Red flapped its wings and said in surprise, “Lil’ Ming, you plan to enter the Great Wide World from here.”

“Yes, we have to go.” Ou Yangming stroked his hair by his ear and looked into the distance.

There was a transparent ring on Big Yellow’s paw. It was a relic left behind by the Dragons and inside it hid the Small Dragons’ World.

The big yellow dog scratched its ear and looked around. “Then what… What should we do?”

Its cultivation base at the moment was already very impressive. It even had unlimited possibilities in the future because it had obtained the Dragons’ ultimate treasure. Even so, it did not change much when it was by Ou Yangming’s side, where it still left all the choices to him.

Ou Yangming responded calmly without thinking, “I’ll keep all of you into the poisonous pill’s world and enter the Great Wide World with me.” As for why he did not bring the 3 women and Old Craftsman, he had his considerations. After all, their cultivation bases were too weak, and he did not know what kind of enemies they would meet in the Great Wide World. The unknown meant danger. How could he push the people closest to him into danger?

Perhaps, one day, when he had the power to surpass everything, he would be able to be unrestrained.

When his voice echoed, the 4 Venerable Ones at the top of the pyramid of the Spiritual Realm were delighted.

The great tomb remained as it stood in the center of the world.

Ou Yangming did not hesitate and stepped out, coming to the side of the coffin carved out of fine spirit ores.

His gaze was calm. The last time he came here, he was only an Advanced Spiritualist but this time, he had comprehended the power of laws.

Without further ado, Ou Yangming took out a joss stick from his interspatial bag and mourned for a moment. This was a principle that Old Craftsman had taught him since he was young. It would be better to destroy 10 temples than to destroy a grave. If he encountered a temple or a true Buddha, he could choose not to worship it. On the other hand, if he stumbled upon a solitary grave or coffin, he must show due respect.

Old Craftsman’s life was not full of ups and downs but as long as one experienced a lot, saw many things, and had a righteous heart, the principles that were said by one would not be wrong.

After a long while, Ou Yangming lifted his foot and landed in front of the Upper Tribulations’ Coffin.

He gently extended his finger forward. Just as his finger was about to touch the copper coffin, an ancient voice rumbled along with thunder and reverberated between heaven and earth. “If you wish to obtain the inheritance of my race, you must bear the karma of my race, as well as the great responsibility of our revival.” The voice was everywhere, cold and solemn. This time, the young fellow did not hesitate and grabbed the Upper Tribulations’ Coffin with one hand.

He uttered softly, “Open!”

In an instant, the small world began to shake.

Countless thunderbolts descended and connected into one. The world sank into the thunderbolts as if it was going to be destroyed.

At the same time, a purple light fused into Ou Yangming’s body, into his bloodline, and into his soul.

His body was enveloped in purple flames, and both of his eyes turned purple.

At this moment, inside the Phoenixes’ spiritual world, the Dragons’ Devouring Power, the Heavenly Phoenix Flame’s will to fuse with everything, and the Upper Tribulations’ unyielding and indestructible will slowly merged. A destructive power burst out from his body.

Ou Yangming straightened his back, and the purple flames on his body surged into the sky.

The purple was noble and elegant, and it was hard to forget it after seeing it once.

Ou Yangming’s eyes were closed. There was no self and no matter—nothing at all.

Numerous thunderbolts exploded around his body, and his body seemed to be entrenched in a sea of thunder.

After 3 days, the 3 types of powers had completely fused.

Ou Yangming slowly opened his eyes. He seemed calm, but even Lil’ Red seemed to have seen an existence that was difficult to contend against.

This was a brand new level of life. It surpassed the Dragons, the Phoenixes, and the Upper Tribulations.

It was at this moment that the Upper Tribulations’ Coffin turned into a streak of purple light and entered Ou Yangming’s glabella.

“The repulsive force of this world?” Ou Yangming muttered softly.

“It seems that the Upper Tribulations are indeed envied by Heaven and Earth, but what can they do to me? If the Upper Tribulations’ Coffin isn’t destroyed, the Upper Tribulation won’t be destroyed. Right now, the Upper Tribulations is me, but I’m not the Upper Tribulations. I’ll just break through the sky.” His expression was calm, and he was not worried.

All of a sudden, a strange change occurred again.

The wind and thunder in the sky surged, and plenty of thunderclouds gathered. The world seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand. It was silent, and it was suppressed to the extreme.

“The Heavenly Disaster?” Big Yellow widened its eyes with a look of disbelief.

“It’s not the Heavenly Disaster; it’s the Heavenly Punishment.” Lil’ Red felt that its throat was dry, and it used all its strength to speak.

The clouds were getting lower, and the color of the thunderclouds was not black, but red. It was as red as blood, and the world seemed to be enveloped in this blood-red color.

It was so red that it made people shudder.

Even after seeing this, Ou Yangming still had a calm expression on his face.

A purple light spread out from his eyes, completely covering the world. He growled in a low voice, “Disperse! Did I let you condense?” His voice was not loud, but it was overbearing and difficult to describe. It was as if the Heavenly Punishment could not be condensed if he said so. This was an overbearing manner that if he wanted something, the heavens must have if, and if he did not want something, the heavens must not have it.

When his voice resounded in all directions, the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and dispersed with a loud explosion.

This scene caused the hearts of the 4 beasts to turn cold.

They exchanged glances and only had one thought in their minds. ‘What stage has Master (Lil’ Ming) reached now? It’s really hard to understand him now.”

Once the thunderclouds dispersed, Heaven and Earth returned to peace.

Ou Yangming walked to the side of the 4 beasts and said softly, “Go inside!”

The 4 beasts did not resist and let go of their minds.

Ou Yangming flicked his long sleeves and put the four beasts into the poisonous pill’s world.

He was not in a hurry to enter the Great Wide World. He exited Mount Return Sword, pinched his fingers, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. He uttered softly, “Disperse.” This mouthful of blood essence turned into a blood mist that filled the Big Ruins. Wherever it passed, it turned into an invisible shackle, and a huge screen of light appeared out of thin air above the heads of the foreign races and beyond the unknown regions. It was as transparent as glass. From this day onward, all the foreign races would not be able to take another step out of the unknown regions.

This day was also known as the gift of god by the later generations. It became an annual festival.

Ou Yangming saw He Jian, Lil’ Man, Ji Haoran, and Jiang Qingcheng through space.

He smiled casually and said softly, “The time is up. I have to leave.”

With that, the spiritual Qi in his Dantian Lake exploded like a giant dragon. Within several kilometers, the space shook violently, and many ripples were created. Spiritual Qi was destroyed, born, and destroyed. In the end, the sky was torn apart, and a big hole was created. A mysterious aura poured into the Big Ruins, and a world full of vitality appeared in front of the young fellow. He slightly raised his foot and lowered his head to look at the Big Ruins, then he shouted loudly, “As the ruler, I shall suppress all enemies in the world.”

As soon as he finished, he stepped into the hole.

The Big Ruins fell silent once again as if it had been forgotten.

In the Jiang Residence, Jiang Qingcheng sat on a wooden bed. Her fair feet swayed in the air. She gently scratched Jiang Yingrong’s stomach and asked, “Mother, has uncle Yu left?” The commotion caused by Ou Yangming’s flight earlier was huge, affecting almost half of the Big Ruins.

“This world couldn’t restrain him in the first place. Of course, he had to leave.” Jiang Yingrong’s words carried a hint of melancholy.

Jiang Qingcheng walked barefoot to the window. She opened the window and looked at the sky.

After looking for a while, she asked curiously, “Mother, what’s beyond the sky?”

“I don’t know,” Jiang Yingrong replied.

“Oh…” Lil’ Qingcheng replied.

The room immediately became quiet. After a while, Jiang Qingcheng’s eyes were filled with tears as she said with a sobbing tone, “Mother, I want to learn alchemy.”

Jiang Yingrong walked to her side, touched her earlobe, and agreed with a smile.

This year, Jiang Qingcheng was 13 years old.

Lil’ Man was also in the Jiang Residence. He held a carving knife in his hand but did not carve any wood.

Feeling the surging spiritual power, he closed his fingers and said in a low voice, “Elder Brother, one day, I’ll catch up to you. I’ll also break through the sky.”

As soon as he finished, he began to refine his spiritual power.

At the same time, He Jian sat on a piece of bluestone. His clothes were a bit tattered, and he was holding an old sword case in his arms. The sword case opened with a creak, and the sound of sword chimes reached his ears.

He stroked his beard and said with a chuckle, “The time is just right. Brother Yu has just left through the sky, and I’ve just retrieved my longswords. The swords have now returned to their original positions in the case. It’s time for me to fulfill my promise.” He wanted to protect Lil’ Man, and he wanted to pass on the Heaven-lifting skill to him.

To be honest, Lil’ Man’s potential was indeed remarkable.

As long as he kept nurturing, his bloodline would one day reach atavism. With He Jian’s assistance, he would be dazzling in the future.

He Jian looked at the gradually calming sky and sighed. “I really don’t know if I’ll have the chance to see him again in this life…”

His fate had changed only after he met Ou Yangming in the Longevity Alley. Not only had he replenished his foundation, but he had also broken through to become a Venerable One, transcended 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts, and even retrieved the longswords from his case. In the past, these would have been things that he would not even dare to think about. Now, they had all been accomplished miraculously.

He Jian retracted this gaze and walked on yellow sand as he headed for the Jiang Residence.
