Chapter 1047: A Good Start

Silence—dead silence.

The starlight was soft, and the sunlight was warm, but the phoenix powerhouses felt a chill on their bodies when they saw this.

It took them 2 to 3 breaths to recover. They exchanged a look and said in surprise, “He… Absorbed it? Just like that?”

“Am I f*cking dreaming?” Another phoenix shook his head in disbelief.

A Venerable One had just absorbed a Ruler’s attack. If this was not a dream, what was it?

Long Xiao was slightly startled, and his heart was in turmoil. A light flashed in his eyes, and he forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart. He secretly sent a voice transmission to Long Ting and asked, ‘Brother Long Ting, you have a great eye. What… What’s going on?’

Long Ting pondered for a moment, shook its head, and replied, ‘I don’t know. What I can tell for now… Is that it should be some kind of magic weapon that can absorb attacks. If not, it’ll be too unbelievable that a Venerable One could block a Ruler’s attack.”

Although he said that, a faint worry rose in his heart for some reason.

Feng Xiang was delighted when he saw this. He thought to himself, ‘What Feng Lin said is indeed true. Let’s not talk about how his strength is as compared to mine, but he really has the capability to stall a Ruler.’ At the thought of this, Feng Xiang’s head thudded as he recalled the first time he met Ou Yangming in the Spiritual Realm. Back then, the young fellow was only an Intermediate Spiritualist. The gap between him and the fellow was like a natural moat as if they were a giant dragon and a small ant.

Who knew, it had only been a few short years, and Ou Yangming had already grown to such a level. Was his speed of advancement not too astonishing?

It was only at this moment that Feng Xiang understood just what kind of God-favored one he had seen in the Spiritual Realm.

Simply put, Ou Yangming was the first person in 10,000 years who blocked a move from a Ruler as a Venerable One.

At this moment, Ou Yangming was no longer a towering mountain in front of the God-favored ones and Daoist disciples. He had long since gone beyond that level. At this point, his opponents were the tens of thousands of races in the Great Wide World. He was an elder and patriarch who had cultivated for 1,000 years!

In the sky, Ou Yangming’s white clothes fluttered like snow. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. With a casual smile on his face, he uttered softly, “So weak…”

His voice was flat and slow. He was not arrogant, nor did he belittle Long Xiao; he was simply stating the fact. Nonetheless, the more relaxed he looked, the more powerful his words were. It was as if a river was not surging but was still lingering. It was difficult to fight back.

Long Xiao sneered when he heard this. “What big words!” His eyes were full of anger, but there was also a hint of fear in them.

Ou Yangming hooked his finger again and said softly, “Come…”

His indifferent look instantly ignited the fire in Long Xiao’s heart. It was the fire of anger. This kind of fire could only be extinguished by boiling blood.

Long Xiao shouted coldly and communicated with the universe. Spiritual Qi within 3 kilometers began to fluctuate violently, creating ripples. The universe’s spiritual Qi condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye with him as the core, turning into a majestic white cyclone. At the same time, with the help of this majestic strength, he swung the long whip in his hand like a poisonous snake. He drew incomprehensible arcs, which were sometimes up and sometimes down, sometimes left and sometimes right, and they charged straight at Ou Yangming.

It would have been fine if that was all, but Long Xiao’s eyes turned red as well.

Many concentric circles overlapped one another, making them look extremely strange. He called out coldly, “Dark breath.”

As soon as his voice fell, a six-colored ribbon traversed across space, instantly shrinking the distance between them and the long whip as it pounced straight at Ou Yangming.

Breathing skills were one of the innate skills of the Dragons, similar to how the Phoenixes could be reborn. When a dragon Ruler used such a skill, with a single strike, it could destroy a large city that was several kilometers long. It was incomparably fearsome.

The Dark Breath moved forward, and the long whip followed behind.

They complemented each other and cooperated. Long Xiao’s battle talent was undoubtedly revealed at this time.

Even after seeing this frightening power, Ou Yangming still had a calm expression, but his body tensed up. One of his eyes was black while the other was white, and they kept rotating. Behind him, an enormous illusory Yin-Yang fish condensed out of thin air. Black and white intersected.

The illusory figure was very dim. Even a Ruler would find it difficult to notice it if one did not look closely.

Ou Yangming raised his right hand, and his Qi was as smooth as one. At this moment, Long Xiao discovered to his horror that the young fellow’s aura had disappeared. He had completely disappeared from this world. What made Long Ting even more despondent was that when the young fellow’s right hand gently pressed down, the Dark Breath seemed to have been torn apart by a pair of invisible hands. In just an instant, it disappeared just like the finger wind from before.

As for the long whip that could tear apart a mountain peak, without a single move from Ou Yangming, it was pushed out by an ingenious Taichi push.

The corners of Ou Yangming’s mouth curled upward, forming a beautiful arc as he smiled without saying a word.

Nevertheless, it was this kind of calm appearance that made long Xiao feel a sense of timidity and even regret. It was as if he had never seen the deep starry sky, the vast and boundless sea, and never knew how deep and how wide they were.

Similar to a glass screen that flickered with a seven-colored light, every time one looked at it, it was a different color. This feeling made Long Xiao feel afraid.

Silence—unusual silence.

The hearts of the phoenix powerhouses who were watching the battle from afar rumbled. That immovable mountain-like figure and his calm and indifferent smile were frozen in their minds. There was only one thought left in their hearts. ‘Fighting against someone beyond his boundary? Is it really possible for a human to do that?’ Ou Yangming blocking that finger wind earlier was a legend, but him blocking the Dragon Breath had become a myth. Regardless of whether the phoenix powerhouses were dumbfounded or ridiculed the young fellow before this, their initial impression of him shattered at this moment.

Lil’ Red raised its proud head with a smug look on its face.

King Kong’s eyes were fiery, but it also looked like it worshipped Ou Yangming. This was the same for Big Yellow and the goshawk.

Feng Xiang focused his gaze and took a deep look at Ou Yangming as if he wanted to see through the young fellow, but what he saw was a bottomless lake.

Long Ting stepped out. This subtle action instantly attracted the attention of many people. He deliberately brushed his hair by his ear and stared at Ou Yangming as he questioned, “You used the power of laws before, right?”

Ou Yangming was slightly surprised, but he did not show it on his face. He nodded slightly.

The young fellow found out that even the beings who had taken that step had not comprehended the power of laws yet. Therefore, he was a little taken aback that Long Ting could see that he had used it. Even so, it did not matter.

He did not know that there were some cultivators who had comprehended laws after becoming Rulers, but it was very rare.

Such a figure would be the top combat strength in the Great Wide World. If one was angry, one could kill millions of people.

This subtle movement shocked the crowd again.

After all, they were talking about laws. A Venerable One had comprehended the power of laws? That was nonsense, right? Even in their dreams, they could not have dreamed of such a good thing.

Long Ting looked like he had expected it. He then shifted his gaze to Feng Xiang and said in a low voice, “Consider yourself lucky.” As soon as he finished, he took a step forward and disappeared in an instant.

Long Xiao looked at Ou Yangming with a complicated expression. He did not say anything and followed behind Long Ting, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

The phoenix powerhouses below exchanged glances.

“Is this grand slaughter over just like that?” A Fire Phoenix asked.

“Indeed. It’s too anti-climatic. I thought they were going to fight until the sky turns dark.” A phoenix next to it flapped its wings.

“Hmph, that human powerhouse has comprehended the power of laws. If he delayed those dragons until the other phoenix powerhouses arrive, even with the cultivation bases of those dragons, it would’ve been difficult for them to escape! If one of the dragon Rulers died, it’d be a huge loss for them. Not only would their vitality be greatly damaged but at the very least, they’d be at a disadvantage.” This remark immediately received the approval of the other phoenix powerhouses.

Indeed, in the Great Wide World, a Ruler could already conquer tens of thousands of worlds.

Feng Xiang took a step forward and cupped his hands with a smile. “May I know how to address you?” He was also deeply moved. He never expected that the young fellow had comprehended the power of laws. Moreover, judging from the fellow’s performance earlier, it was a rare great path. As for why Feng Xiang did not recognize the power of laws at first glance, it was not because he did not have enough knowledge, but because he did not dare to think about it. He really did not dare to think about it. Who would have thought that a Venerable One would comprehend the power of laws?

In this aspect, Feng Xiang had lost to Long Ting by half a level.

Ou Yangming’s eyes were also filled with emotion as he answered in a low voice, “Ou Yangming.”

Feng Xiang uttered seriously, “Brother Ouyang.”

Ou Yangming was speechless. He sighed and said, “My surname is Ou.” This surname of his had been misunderstood many times.

Feng Xiang smiled awkwardly but said frankly, “Brother Ou, your surname’s too easy to be misunderstood. I hope you can forgive me.”

Ou Yangming was about to answer when Lil’ Red flapped its wings. Like a red light, it flashed over and landed on the young fellow’s shoulder. It smiled and asked, “Feng Xiang, this brother of mine is very strong, right?”

It was at this moment that Ou Yangming’s body shook slightly. His face flushed red, and the blood in his body churned endlessly.

Feng Xiang’s expression changed slightly, and he asked anxiously, “Brother Ou, are you… Are you alright?”

Ou Yangming waved his hand weakly and said, “I’ll be fine after recuperating for a while.” He thought to himself. ‘As expected of someone who has taken that step. His strength is indeed notable.’ When he fought against Long Xiao previously, he seemed calm and collected. In reality, he was not feeling well either. The Qi and blood in his body surged. Given their levels, any slight difference in their strengths would mean a huge disparity. What was more, the young fellow was fighting against someone of a higher level.

Feng Xiang looked at Ou Yangming seriously and said with a chuckle, “Brother Ou, let’s go back to the Phoenixes first!”

Ou Yangming looked around and asked with a puzzled face, “Are the Phoenixes not in this small world?”

“No.” Feng Xiang shook his head and looked proud. He explained, “The spiritual Qi in this world is too thin. The Phoenixes are one of the overlords of the Great Wide World. No matter what, we must be in a paradise. This kind of place isn’t worth looking at.”

Although Feng Xiang did not intentionally emphasize it, the sense of pride in his words was unmistakable.

Ou Yangming nodded and did not say anything.

Feng Xiang looked around and saw the king kong and the other Venerable Ones. He smiled and asked, “Are they your spirit beasts, Brother Ou?” If it was not for Ou Yangming’s sake, he would not have asked such a question. The Dragons and the Phoenixes were famous for their arrogance.

Ou Yangming shook his head and responded, “No, they’re all my brothers.”

Feng Xiang’s eyes revealed shock, but it faded in an instant.

Since they were able to obtain Ou Yangming’s approval, Feng Xiang would not mind giving them special treatment.
