Chapter 604: Absorb
‘Devour!’
This was an immensely forceful power. When the power was released, as long as there was a powerful carrier, it could even swallow the whole world.
Needless to say, based on Ou Yangming’s cultivation base, he could not imagine how it would be if Heaven and Earth were devoured.
Endless energies were channeled through the dagger into Ou Yangming’s body. As he converted them, they turned into the purest mental powers. Nonetheless, he did not store the mental powers in his sea of consciousness. Instead, he sent them all into the piece of aerolite.
Of course, the piece of aerolite was already filled with power, but Ou Yangming had a gigantic aerolite inside his interspatial bag.
The aerolite lacked so much energy that it was truly a bottomless pit. No matter how much mental power Ou Yangming channeled into it, it seemed like he could not fill it up.
Even so, Ou Yangming never gave up. Since he made his decision, he would do his best to complete it.
Big Yellow was startled as it watched the inner core, which was much taller than Ou Yangming, shrink slowly. Its skin and flesh twitched a little, and its heart ached so much that it wanted to roll on the ground. Nevertheless, as the inner core shrunk, the big yellow dog noticed something odd.
The inner core’s color slowly became richer, by which it was green and frightening.
Even after taking just one look at it, Big Yellow felt dizzy.
After all, it was an inner core with poisonous gas. Once Ou Yangming slowly drew the power inside, the poisonous gas left inside became more concentrated until a poisonous pill was formed.
Ou Yangming slowly opened his eyes and looked at the small green ball in shock.
After drawing the energies, the inner core, which was initially taller than him, became a round and small ball the size of his thumb. Despite that, the poisonous that it contained must not be trifled with.
The young fellow pondered for a while before he kept it.
In actuality, he had accidentally refined the inner core’s essence.
If he had used the 3 poison-series runes with this poisonous pill, he could smith an incredibly tough weapon. Once the poison-series spells were activated, the weapon would be extremely mighty and not much inferior to if Ghost Mo released them itself.
The Six-armed Giant Beast had actually given Ou Yangming the inner core as it wanted him to refine and extract its essence.
It was exceptionally tough and time-consuming, but even the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One did not expect Ou Yangming to complete the process in such a short time.
Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and turned around. “Big Yellow, pack up. Let’s leave!”
Big Yellow uttered in a dejected tone, “Okay…”
The young fellow was dumbfounded. “Big Yellow, why do you…”
Before his voice died away, the big yellow dog quivered and fell hard to the ground.
Ou Yangming’s face changed. Big Yellow had a particularly important place in his heart. Besides, there was a great tacit understanding between them. If the young fellow had not ridden the big yellow dog this time, he could not have released the spells to affect the top-grade spirit beast.
Therefore, his thoughts were in a whirl when he saw Big Yellow collapse all of a sudden.
After inspecting carefully for a brief moment, he concluded that the fellow had been poisoned, and the culprit was the poisonous pill that he was holding earlier.
The poisonous pill was unusually toxic and overbearing, which was unbelievable.
This was the real power of a top-grade spirit beast. Ou Yangming was especially glad, and he thought, ‘Luckily, I wasn’t out of my mind and didn’t go head-on against Ghost Mo. If not, Big Yellow and I would’ve ended up miserably if it spat its poisonous gas at us.’
After being refined, the poisonous pill seemed to have accepted Ou Yangming’s mental power and had a wonderful spiritual connection with him. Therefore, although it was exceedingly poisonous, it did not cause him any negative effects. On the opposite, Big Yellow could not withstand the pill’s remaining aura and was knocked out.
Of course, it was also because Big Yellow was not on guard, or a spirit beast like it would not have ended up like that.
Since Ou Yangming found the reason, it would not be difficult for it to solve the problem.
He retrieved a pill that he brought along and opened the big yellow dog’s large mouth. Following that, he fed it the pill and a drop of immortal liquid at the same time.
Before long, Big Yellow awoke and blinked its eyes in confusion at Ou Yangming as it did not know what happened.
Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh. “Pick a piece of the centipede’s flesh and keep it. We’ll be leaving now.”
Ghost Mo’s body had been torn into several pieces, each one was quite massive. Given that it was a top-grade spirit beast, every piece of its flesh contained enormous energies. Whether it would be used to refine pills or as storage material, it would be the best option.
Big Yellow jumped excitedly. It no longer bothered about why it passed out just now.
Ou Yangming brought it forward and sliced a section of Ghost Mo’s body into a few pieces, where Big Yellow swallowed after. As for the other sections, the young fellow kept them inside his interspatial bag.
In actual fact, top-grade spirit beasts had extremely tough bodies, which could not be hurt by ordinary weapons at all. Fortunately, Ou Yangming smithed Good Grade magic tools, and the spirit insect’s body was terribly ruined, or he could not have slashed its body.
After sorting out everything, Ou Yangming sighed and noted, “Big Yellow, we really owe Sir Venerable One this time…”
Big Yellow nodded as if it understood him, but it did not care much about favors. In any case, it would simply enjoy being by Ou Yangming’s side. After all, even if the sky fell, the tall fellow would carry it, thus the big yellow dog was not afraid.
Ou Yangming identified his direction and brought Big Yellow to hurry into the distance.
Soon after he left, a small and thin figure appeared discreetly.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One frowned as it watched Ou Yangming leave. It seemed like it had left earlier, but it did not go far away; it was prying the young fellow at a certain distance away through a secret technique.
It was cautious to avoid being noticed by Ou Yangming, but this was also the reason it could only see things on the surface.
Having said that, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was shocked by Ou Yangming’s performance. In particular, the way the young fellow handled the inner core was also beyond its reach.
Ou Yangming managed to refine the massive inner core into a small poisonous pill. Even if the Venerable One had attempted it, it could only slowly upgrade and gather the core’s essence through patient and precise work. On the other hand, the young fellow finished it in a short period, which was so efficient that it exceeded the Venerable One’s understanding.
However, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One vaguely understood the reason behind it when it recalled the appearance of the dragon and the phoenix displayed by Ou Yangming.
It pondered for some time and looked into the distance, then it mumbled, “Fine, I’ll go through the trouble for that young fella.”
With that, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One extended its thin arms, then a tremendously fearsome aura was released from its body.
Under its precise control, the aura only covered a roughly 36-meters circumference. If any cultivators were inside the area, they would be suppressed by the invincible momentum and pass out.
Once the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s momentum expanded to an extremity, it suddenly stretched its arms and did a pulling motion in the air.
As a result, the space was forcibly torn by the forceful power, where a gigantic slit was formed.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One moved and stepped inside without any hesitation.
※※※※
On a humongous mountain, monstrous centipede, whose size was indescribable, lay leisurely on the ground. It closed its eyes and pretended to be asleep, and its breaths sounded as loud as thunders.
Without moving at all, its very existence affected the space around it.
At the spur of the moment, the terrifying creature opened its eyes and looked ahead.
Over there, a passage had suddenly appeared, and a horrifying aura could also be sensed.
The giant centipede was shocked. The space of the place it was at was being controlled by it, but a certain being wanted to tear the space apart at the moment. The centipede was undoubtedly being challenged, so nobody would question it even if it ripped the provoker into pieces.
Nonetheless, just as the centipede became enraged, it finally sensed the owner of the aura from the interspatial passage.
The 10,000 Legs Venerable One’s legs shivered, and it felt uneasy and slightly afraid.
Back then, the deep, unerasable, and unpleasant memories surfaced, and its violent aura instantly calmed down.
‘I can’t afford to offend it, I can’t… Afford to offend the incoming fella!’
In actuality, not only him, but it also seemed like nobody from the Insects could offend that being.
Living beings from Danzhou that offended that fellow had all been pulled into pieces without any exception, and they became nourishments for its advancement.
Perhaps the fellow was not the greatest powerhouse in Danzhou, but it was publicly acknowledged as a being that must not be offended no matter what.
As a light flickered above the passage and disappeared, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One stood in front of the centipede with its hands behind its bag.
There was a huge disparity between their sizes as though they were a giant dragon and an ant, but their attitudes were the opposite of their sizes as they confronted each other. The large being was humble and respectful, whereas the small being was proud and domineering.
“10,000 Beasts Venerable One, long time no see.” The centipede lifted its head and nodded. “Given that you’re here on your own, did something serious happen?”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One responded arrogantly, “I’ve come to notify you about something.”
“Ah! What’s so important that you have to come here yourself?”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One grinned. For some reason, the 10,000 Legs Venerable One had a bad feeling about this when it saw the smile.
“I’ve come to tell you that Ghost Mo from your bloodline has been killed by me.”
