Chapter 1136 - The Bone Dragon Strikes
Chapter 1136: The Bone Dragon Strikes
Ou Yangming’s body had only recovered more than half after his last full-out attack. He was still far from returning to his peak.
Moreover, the Nine-sworded Ruler had learned his lesson from the last time. He showed no mercy at all and did not intend to leave any chance for Ou Yangming.
Ou Yangming held the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer tightly in his hand. His gaze was still fearless as he looked at the Nine-sworded Ruler in the sky. His heart was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
The young fellow had seen too many wonderful things in his life. If it was not for Old Craftsman taking him in, he would have frozen to death long ago and be buried in a corner of the lower realm. How could he have seen such a wonderful world?
Ou Yangming was still a little worried. He was worried about those people in the poisonous pill’s world. If he died, the poisonous pill’s world would also be shattered but if the Nine-sworded Ruler found them, the outcome would also be the same…
Nonetheless, at this point, it was useless to think about anything. Ou Yangming stepped forward. Even if he died, he could not die cowardly.
As long as he let the Nine-sworded Ruler know that the people of this world were not cowards, it would not be so easy for the Heavenly Path Alliance to rule the Great Wide World.
“Path Intent Spear!”
Ou Yangming shouted loudly as he soared into the air.
His body was unable to support Heaven’s Destruction at the moment. It could be considered his most powerful attack.
The Nine-sworded Ruler was sneering as he looked disdainfully at Ou Yangming struggling. It was as if he was looking at a clown. The weak attack was not worth mentioning to him.
“Die!”
The Nine-sworded Ruler shouted coldly.
With that, the sword light pierced through the air as it slashed down at Ou Yangming’s head. This sword was extremely powerful, and its immense pressure caused all the creatures on the mountain to hide and tremble.
This sword attack was not something that Ou Yangming could block. Even if he had recovered all his strength and used Heaven’s Destruction, it would still be the same.
The Nine-sworded Ruler did not leave him any room to live.
Following that, the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer exploded, and the Path Intent Spear was instantly destroyed. A huge amount of sword Qi pounced toward Ou Yangming.
‘Am I going to die?’
Ou Yangming was already powerless to struggle. Just as he was about to close his eyes and die, the space around him shattered. Dragon claws that had turned into white bones stretched out from within.
The white-boned dragon claws grabbed the giant sword that was flying toward Ou Yangming. The incomparably tough sword was unable to move even half a step forward in the hands of the white bones. Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. After a while, an enormous Bone Dragon flew out from the shattered space.
His body was huge, and he blotted out the sky and covered the sun.
‘It’s Senior Bone Dragon!’
Ou Yangming was shocked. He had never expected that the Bone Dragon, whom he had only met once, would come and save him.
The gigantic Bone Dragon lowered his head and said, “Don’t be afraid. With me around, he can’t hurt you.”
High up in the sky, the Nine-sworded Ruler’s eyes were filled with shock. The Bone Dragon that had broken through the air had grabbed his gigantic sword.
The Nine-sworded Ruler understood just how powerful his move was. Even if he wanted to block it, it would be very difficult. Using his physical body to block this move? The Ruler did not dare to imagine it at all.
Just how formidable one’s body must be to be able to do that? The fellow in front of him was merely a pile of bones.
“Who are you? Why are you meddling in other people’s business?” The Nine-sworded Ruler suppressed the shock in his heart as he looked at the Bone Dragon below and asked.
The Bone Dragon raised his head. He had no eyes, and there were 2 balls of blue flames dancing in his eye sockets. He answered in a low voice, “You from the outer realm, how dare you come to the Great Wide World? You’re courting death!”
Subsequently, the Bone Dragon flew into the sky. Without saying a word, he slashed his sharp claws in the Nine-sworded Ruler’s direction.
The claw attack was calm and indifferent, and it did not seem to carry the power of laws.
Even so, the Nine-sworded Ruler still felt a strong sense of danger. His power of laws enveloped his body, and the armor hidden in his body was revealed. A giant sword appeared in his hand again, quickly blocking in front of his body.
“Clang!”
At the spur of the moment, the giant sword in the Nine-sworded Ruler’s hand shattered. The power of laws seemed to have lost its effect, and the armor on his body was also shattered. With a flash of blood light, his body disappeared.
The Nine-sworded Ruler had run away!
Nevertheless, the Bone Dragon did not pursue him. Since the Nine-sworded Ruler had used this method to escape at the last minute, one could imagine the price he had to pay. The Bone Dragon reckoned that the Ruler would not be able to increase his strength anymore in his life.
In order to survive, the Nine-sworded Ruler had disregarded everything. The appearance of the Bone Dragon had shattered his sense of superiority.
The Great Wide World was not as simple as he had imagined.
“Are you alright?”
The Bone Dragon glanced at Ou Yangming.
“Senior Bone Dragon, I’m fine.” Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with gratitude. Despite that, when he saw the head on the ground not far away, his heart sank, and he gritted his teeth.
“A person can’t be resurrected after death. Don’t be too sad. The most important thing for you to do is to complete his regrets and live well for him,” the Bone Dragon consoled him.
“Yes, Senior Bone Dragon,” Ou Yangming said in a deep voice.
“By the way, Senior Bone Dragon, why are you here?” Ou Yangming was a bit confused. This was too much of a coincidence. Just when he was about to die, the Bone Dragon suddenly appeared.
The Bone Dragon had a kind smile on his face, and he said indifferently, “I’ve been paying attention to you since the last time I was in the temple. My spiritual sense is immense, and it can cover the entire heart of origins. From time to time, I’ll see what you’re doing. I just happened to meet you today.”
“Thank you, senior.” Ou Yangming was very grateful. He did not know what he had done to deserve the senior’s attention.
“Senior, didn’t you say last time that you can’t leave the temple?” Ou Yangming asked. He remembered that the Bone Dragon said this when they met last time.
“Yes, I can’t leave the temple because my main body has died. I can only rely on the temple to maintain a trace of life. If I leave the temple, I’ll completely disappear from this world,” the Bone Dragon said calmly.
“What?!”
Ou Yangming’s eyes widened, and his nose felt sore. “Senior, you…”
He wanted to say something, but he felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, so he could not say a single word.
The Bone Dragon had paid such a huge price to show up and save him. He could not imagine what qualifications he had to be worthy of the senior doing this for him.
Having said that, the Bone Dragon did not seem to mind. He said, “My existence is to suppress the Ancient Shamans. Now, it seems that there’s no need for this anymore, so there’s not much meaning for me to continue to exist here. Besides, I was already dead. This time, I’m only returning to my origin.”
“Senior…” Ou Yangming’s voice was a little choked up.
The Bone Dragon continued, “I saved you mainly because you’re a genius of the Great Wide World. This world is about to undergo a great upheaval. Every genius is very precious. I hope that when the disaster comes in the future, you can do your part for the Great Wide World. If possible, let us Dragons preserve the last trace of our bloodline.”
“Senior, don’t worry. I’ll do my best. I won’t let the Heavenly Path Alliance’s scheme succeed,” Ou Yangming said loudly.
The Bone Dragon smiled. His concern was not the Heavenly Path Alliance, but he did not explain anything. He grabbed Ou Yangming and said, “Follow me!”
With that, the space shattered again. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at another place. There was an interspatial passage not far from them. The passage here had opened.
The Bone Dragon’s voice was a little tired as he said, “Go, child. That’s the 10,000 Dragons Valley. I’ve already warned them, so no one will harm you there.”
“Senior.”
Ou Yangming looked at the Bone Dragon. The bones in his body began to crack, turning into specks of starlight that disappeared into the heart of origins.
The humongous body soon only had a head left. The Bone Dragon’s gaze was still calm as he said, “Go, child. Protect the safety of the Great Wide World…”
With a heavy heart, Ou Yangming knelt on the ground and kowtowed 3 times in the direction where the Bone Dragon had disappeared. Only then did he get up and walk toward the open interspatial passage.
The time he took when he left was not much different from when he entered the heart of origins. However, the place that he was leaving to was the 10,000 Dragons Valley. He felt very gloomy.
After a moment, the passage had reached the end. Ou Yangming stepped out. Outside was the Great Wide World that he had not seen for a long time.
Logically speaking, there was still hatred between him and the Dragons. After all, when he had just entered the heart of origins, he had almost been killed by the Dragons.
Later on, Ou Yangming counterattacked and also killed a few members of the Dragons. There was also a blood feud between both sides. That said, because of the Bone Dragon, he did not have any malice toward the Dragons.
“Lord Ou, you’re here…”
Seeing Ou Yangming walking out, a man in golden armor walked over. He looked at Ou Yangming and said politely.
“Senior, you’re being too polite,” Ou Yangming responded politely.
He figured that the man must have some status in the Dragons. The reason the man was so respectful toward him was also self-evident.
“I’m not a senior; I’m just a gatekeeper of the 10,000 Dragons Valley. Our ancestor has asked us to take care of you, so there’s no need for you to call anyone a senior here,” the man in golden armor noted faintly.
All of a sudden, the man in golden armor was shocked as if he had received some news. After a moment, he came back to his senses and said, “Lord Ou, our emperor wants to see you.”
He sounded like he was asking for instructions.
Ou Yangming politely replied to him, “Please lead the way, senior.”
They walked toward the center of the 10,000 Dragons Valley. Many giant dragons were watching from the outside. They looked at Ou Yangming with different expressions.
Their ancestor in the heart of origins was a legendary existence in the Dragons. How could this young fellow be favored by their ancestor?
Many of them looked envious. There were still a few small dragons circling in the sky. They were not strong enough to transform into human forms.
Under everyone’s gaze, Ou Yangming was calm. He was unperturbed as he followed the golden-armored man toward the depths of the 10,000 Dragons Valley.
“Long Hai, what are you doing!”
Ou Yangming heard a cold shout. Suddenly, a young man leaped over from afar and blocked him and the golden-armored man.
The young man had an unruly expression on his face as he looked at Ou Yangming with a sharp gaze.
