Chapter 448 A Living God
“Foolish human, die!”
When the parasite’s mental conception noticed that Ou Yangming’s Thunderbolt Rune could not hurt it anymore, its exhilaration was indescribable.
The parasite’s mental conception had been struck by the Heavenly Thunderbolt multiple times. Any other living being would have gone mad after suffering over 100 hits from the thunderbolts.
All along, the Insects’ spiritual fluctuation was the lowest. In a way, they almost did not experience many changes in emotion.
This was why Ou Yangming was stupefied when he sensed the parasite’s strong emotions because the emotional fluctuation was too exceptional.
At this point, he doubted if he was actually faced with an insect powerhouse because even the most expensive human could not have been so emotional.
Needless to say, this was because he could not understand the Insects.
The Heavenly Thunderbolt was the bane of almost all living beings, but the Insects rarely encountered it because they usually hid in dark undergrounds. Even so, when their powers arrived at a certain level, they would not be able to avoid the power. During a life-or-death battle, the parasite had somehow comprehended the way to go against the thunderbolt power. Even though it was only a way to weaken the power, it would be great news for its entire race.
Therefore, the parasite was thrilled like never before.
The parasite gathered its vigor as it wanted to kill the human that controlled the Heavenly Thunderbolts, and it was about to deliver the good news to its kind. Who knew, a cold voice echoed in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness.
“Since you completed the thunderbolt resistance test, you no longer serve a purpose. You can die now!”
A purple fire emerged and filled the sea of consciousness.
Before the parasite could react to the situation, it completely disappeared. Following that, the Devouring attribute slowly rose inside the purple fire and swept the remaining powers that did not belong to Ou Yangming. The powers were then converted into the purest mental power.
When Ou Yangming began to shiver and flushed, Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong entered his sea of consciousness through their mental conceptions.
Earlier on, the young ladies dared not act rashly because the parasite’s conception was still present. They would have been more of a hindrance instead of help.
Now, through the existing connection between the three of them, their mental conceptions merged again. At the same time, the familiar mental power gushed into their seas of consciousness respectively, allowing their mental powers to be upgraded once more.
In actual fact, the parasite’s mental power no longer contained the insect’s mark and any hidden troubles because it was converted by the Devouring attribute. Nevertheless, anyone that absorbed it would inevitably be linked to Ou Yangming.
The linkage was not absolutely fair because it was somewhat headed by Ou Yangming.
If Ou Yangming had ill motives, he could utilize the spiritual connection to restrain or hurt other people.
Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong were aware of the flaw and the possibility, but they accepted the power without any hesitation. This was because they had tied themselves to Ou Yangming long ago and would not abandon him even during the most dangerous situations.
As the enormous mental power gushed into their seas of consciousness separately, Ou Yangming eventually stopped quivering. He opened his eyes, which were glowing with excitement. If it was not because of the outsiders around him, he would have jumped and cheered with joy.
er
His greatest gain from the fight against the parasite was not having better control over his mental power nor was it helping the young ladies acquire more mental power; through cooperating with the parasite, he grasped the technique to resist thunderbolts.
Multi-armed King Kong’s gift was the ability to control thunderbolts. It possessed the power and knew some theories and runes related to thunderbolt resistance.
However, those could only be performed in the upper realm because the king kong needed to borrow the universe’s fearsome spiritual power to resist the Heavenly Thunderbolt. In this realm, even the most potent being could not borrow this world’s power to resist the thunderbolts.
This was because the universe’s spiritual power in this realm could not be transferred at all. Even if one forcefully gathered the power, the result would not be the same as what one desired.
Despite that, the insect unleashed its greatest potential because its life was being threatened. With that, it generated the Thunderbolt-resistant Rune.
Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness gained a new rune, which was naturally produced after he studied the rock’s broken bits and devoured it. It was worth noting that the rune did not require abundant spiritual power. In a way, the rune was constructed when the universe’s spiritual power was being isolated.
Nobody could guarantee that the rune would be effective in the upper realm, but it was definitely a priceless treasure in this realm.
The young fellow was so overjoyed that he was almost as electrified as the parasite just now.
Having said that, Ou Yangming suppressed his emotion very well because he noticed Yu Jinshuang and the others fixing their gazes on him as they waited for his story.
Ou Yangming nodded and announced to the people, “This person was indeed attached by a parasite and became the Insect’s puppet.”
Lao Boyi stepped forward and slashed the man’s head with his sword. Sure enough, the man’s brain was already gone, and it was replaced by a dead insect.
Exclaims were heard from the crowd, and the people seemed to be in fear. After all, it would be hard for anyone to be unfeeling upon seeing something like that.
Yu Jinshuang looked around and noted loudly, “You don’t need to panic because Master Ou has the ability to identify parasites. Only one of you was attacked by a parasite, whereas the rest are still humans. What are you afraid of?”
The other people were stunned for a while before they were finally relieved.
Without the inspection, everyone in the city would be living in fear. The people became rest assured because the goshawk was overlooking the city from above. Since parasites could be spotted through this method, everything could be solved.
“Sir, you notified a few more people too but they’re absent. Are they…” Someone shouted all of a sudden.
Everyone else was taken aback, and they became anxious again.
Yu Jinshuang scoffed and instructed Lao Boyi, “General Lao, please arrange some men to capture those people! Before their names are cleared, nobody is allowed to contact them.”
He sounded cold and extremely furious.
Lao Boyi nodded without any delay and sent some men to get the task done. The other people exchanged glances and felt sorry for those people because they knew that even if those people were innocent, they would not be valued anymore.
Yu Jinshuang later waved his hand and said, “Inspections will be done regularly from now on. If anyone’s late or absent, hehe, I’m sure you’re aware of the consequences…”
crn
“Yes!” Apart from the people that had passed out, the others responded to the governor conscientiously. There could be no exceptions in this matter.
“Alright, you may leave. Be prepared because the Insects will attack at any time.”
With that, the crowd dispersed, and the martial art field became quiet. The only ones that stayed were the Supreme Great Ancestors and some guards.
“Master Ou, was the parasite a difficult match this time?” Yu Jinshuang was puzzled. “You took a much longer time than you did the first time.”
Ou Yangming grinned. He was obviously not going to reveal the truth.
He had stumbled upon the thunder-resistant ability by chance. If other people knew about the ability, they would probably covet it.
Given that Ou Yangming was already at the peak of this world, it would not be easy for anyone to secretly attack him. That said, he dared not act carelessly because there was also the upper realm.
“The parasite was powerful indeed but what truly shocked me was its background,” Ou Yangming answered in a deep voice.
“What background?” Yu Jinshuang frowned and asked.
Ou Yangming’s eyes were hollow as he responded, “More than one spirit insect descended this time.”
“What?”
Everyone else shouted in higher pitches. Fortunately, the other people had left, or they would be dispirited after hearing the news.
Ou Yangming continued, “I’m sure this parasite’s master isn’t the same as the previous parasite’s. I could feel it.”
“There’s more than one-there’s actually more than one…”
Yu Jinshuang, Lao Boyi, and the other Supreme Great Ancestors looked at each other and noticed the despair in each other’s eyes.
At the spur of the moment, Yu Jinshuang uttered loudly, “Master Ou, please show mercy and save us.”
Subsequently, he flung his sleeves and fell to his knees.
Lao Boyi was hesitant at first, but he kneeled as well after he looked up at the giant creature in the sky.
As for the other people, they followed suit even if some of them were reluctant. They were optimistic about defeating a spirit insect, but they would be left with no choice if there were two spirit beasts.
The only ones that could save Yongxiang City were Ou Yangming and Wu Yuanwei—the Humans’ greatest powerhouse.
However, Wu Yuanwei would not leave the capital easily. As such, Ou Yangming, who was the master of two spirit beasts, became their only hope.
Ou Yangming’s face changed. He quickly helped the people up and struck his chest as a gesture of giving the people his word.
Far away, the guards were frightened when they saw a bunch of Supreme Great Ancestors kneeling before Ou Yangming. “That man is simply a living god…’
