Immortal Path to Heaven

The alarming roar sounded like even Heaven and Earth shook.

Accompanied by the deafening sound, a figure swept across the sky like lightning and landed hard in the battleground.

The figure seemed like a shooting star from outside of this world. It broke through every obstacle unreasonably and landed ruthlessly on the ground.

“Boom…”

Following the rumble that was not inferior to a loud roar at all, a massive airwave soared into the sky and spread in all directions. Amidst the fearsome airwaves, several peculiar formation boards were seen overturned.

Those formation boards were the foundation of the formation map that was set up by Qiu Chengwang. The formation map was set up in a hurry, but it immediately communicated with the universe through the man’s ingenious skill. It became one with its surroundings and borrowed the universe’s power, which was why it could easily Multi-armed King Kong, which was a newly advanced Venerable One.

Nonetheless, the figure that made a mighty appearance at the moment knew Reborn in Paradise very well.

Therefore, instead of joining the fight recklessly, it directly struck the ground to crumble the formation boards that were embedded under the ground.

As the formation board flew, the airflows and the environments changed drastically. The eyes of Ou Yangming and Multi-armed King Kong lit up at the same time because they realized that the illusory that previously trapped them was gone.

Ou Yangming could not help but sigh a breath of relief when he saw who had come. It was the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One—supreme powerhouse.

In actuality, when he instructed the goshawk to go back to the Beast King Sect, he did not think that this top-grade Venerable One would come.

He initially thought that Yuqi the Venerable One or the old macaque would come. Even so, either of them could join hands with King Kong, and they would all be safe.

Now, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One descended with the most violent momentum, and the Illusion Formation was instantly broken. The effect of such a savage method was truly unprecedented.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One swayed to the front of Ou Yangming and Multi-armed King Kong. It glanced at them and was evidently relaxed.

Multi-armed King Kong raised its eyebrows and asked, “Father, why have you come?” It was clearly displeased. “I can handle this myself.”

Although it plunged left and right in the formation map and vividly displayed its strength, it still did not find hope of breaking the formation. Nevertheless, it was not willing to admit defeat in front of the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One.

Needless to say, deep down it never surrendered at all. Even though it might not be able to break the Illusion Formation, it would not be easy for the formation to harm it at all.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One opened its mouth. It would have slapped anyone that contradicted it, but it replied to Multi-armed King Kong with a smile, “Young fella, don’t speak nonsense. Hmph, you might be able to take it, but do you want Master Ou to suffer with you too?”

Multi-armed King Kong was stunned. It stole a glance at Ou Yangming and dared not defend itself anymore.

It was true that the king kong had become a Venerable One, but its respect toward Ou Yangming had not lessened at all. This was because it knew better than anyone else it might have been killed by the 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts if it was not for the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and Earthly Formation Boards.

Who knew, Ou Yangming shook his head and said, “Thanks for your saving grace, Venerable One, but I believe that King Kong’s powerful enough to protect me well.”

Multi-armed King Kong nodded at Ou Yangming gratefully. Afterward, it yelled furiously at the air, “Qiu Chengwang, being a Venerable One from Zhangzhou, you dare not face your enemies upfront and hide mysteriously in the dark. What an embarrassment!”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One narrowed its eyes. It looked like it was not making a move, but it was already scanning with its mental conception.

Ever since it showed up and broke the Illusion Formation, though it had been conversing with Ou Yangming and Multi-armed King Kong, it did not relax toward the environment around it.

Despite that, it and Multi-armed King Kong still could not find Qiu Chengwang. It was as though the powerhouse from Zhangzhou had disappeared.

“Hmph, that coward doesn’t have the guts to come up even when his formation map’s broken,” Multi-armed King Kong scolded.

As furious as it was, it still could not locate Qiu Chengwang.

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and thought, ‘10,000 Beasts Venerable One released its aura as a top-grade Venerable One as soon as it arrived, and it crumbled the Illusion Formation with a thunderous hit. It’s a cheap trick, but its strength is truly in the top-grade boundary.

‘As long as Qiu Chengwang’s slightly smart, he’ll surely hide after seeing 10,000 Beasts Venerable One.

‘On the contrary, if the old macaque or Yuqi the Venerable One had come instead, Qiu Chengming might not have left the matter as it is.’

Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming asked, “Senior 10,000 Beasts, have you learned the path of formation maps before?”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One scanned its surroundings to not miss any clues while it laughed and answered, “Master Ou, you’re kidding. Look at me—do I look like I’m fit to learn formation maps?”

Among the Beasts, very few races were gifted in equipment smithing or pill refinement, let alone researching the unpredictable formations and formation maps.

Even if someone was naturally gifted, it would definitely not be the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, which was known for its martial arts.

Ou Yangming smiled embarrassedly. “Senior, you destroyed Qiu Chengwang’s Illusion Formation as soon as you came, so…”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed out loud. “I don’t know much about the path of formation maps, but I’ve heard of Reborn in Paradise. It’s a superb sect that mainly focuses on formation maps, where almost every powerhouse in their sect is adept in the path.” It paused for a while before it continued, “Even if they were to set up formation maps in a hurry, they can trap Venerable Ones as those maps are impossible to be guarded against.”

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. He became very interested in the sect.

He had also set up formation maps hastily several times, but their effects were greatly reduced.

Besides, he dared not imagine that he could anyhow set up strong formation maps that could trap Venerable Ones.

Qiu Chengwang was indeed more superior to normal Venerable Ones in this aspect.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One continued, “I heard that every powerful formation map has a central hub that maintains the same frequency with the universe, and it’s extremely difficult to destroy it. That said, it’s much easier to do that if a formation map’s set up in a rush. As long as the topography nearby is changed, the formation map’s power will be destroyed.”

Ou Yangming and Multi-armed King Kong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

In actual fact, Multi-armed King Kong had attacked many times in the Illusion Formation, but it was trapped inside, thus 90% of its power hit the void as they were guided by the formation map.

On the other hand, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One descended from the sky and was not affected at all. Moreover, since it was a top-grade Venerable One, it broke the integrated Illusion Formation in a split second.

Breaking a formation with power like that was not possible for anyone or at any time.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One finally stopped scanning and shook its head. “Master Ou, I can’t find him anymore.”

Ou Yangming was moved. The Venerable One said that it could not find Qiu Chengwang, not that the man had taken flight. This proved that the black-robed man had likely used a special trick to conceal himself, but the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not spot him.

Given that Qiu Chengwang could avoid being located by a top-grade Venerable One, he was unordinary indeed.

“Senior 10,000 Beasts, let me try,” Ou Yangming expressed in a deep voice.

He had been wanting to attempt this, but he was too embarrassed to get meddle in when the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Multi-armed King Kong took the initiative to look for the black-robed man. After all, he would be wronged if they accidentally misunderstood him.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One pondered for a brief moment before it replied to him, “Master Ou, please go ahead.”

At this point, it had mixed feelings about this.

‘If Ou Yangming manages to find Qiu Chengwang, doesn’t it mean that my searching ability’s poorer than that of an Intermediate Spiritualist? He might be the Phoenixes’ messenger, but I’ll be too embarrassed if that happens.

‘However, if we fail to find Qiu Chengwang, he’ll be a hidden nuisance to us. It’ll be enough to worry us such that we won’t be able to sleep well.’

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One sighed. Even it did not know if it hoped that Ou Yangming could find Qiu Chengwang or not.

Ou Yangming was naturally unaware of the 10,000 Beasts’ Venerable One’s complicated thoughts. He was completely immersed in his spiritual world.

As he scanned his surroundings, everything that he saw was reflected in his spiritual world.

While the environment around them had become unusually terrible due to the continuous attacks from the 2 Venerable Ones, they were still perfectly displayed in the spiritual world that was unique to the Phoenixes.

Ou Yangming searched the virtual spiritual world bit by bit with his mental conception. It was not the real world, but since the spiritual world had communicated with the universe’s origin, it was the same as searching the outside world.

The young fellow was still looking at the outside world, but his eyes were not focused.

When the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Multi-armed King Kong looked at Ou Yangming, they sensed an unordinary aura from him.

They could not sense Ou Yangming’s spiritual world but being formidable Venerable Ones, they noticed his extraordinary state at this moment.

Inside the spiritual world, Ou Yangming paused abruptly because he sensed something abnormal in a certain area.

In the real world, even if he were to scan with his mental conception, he might not have spotted the oddity. Since the young fellow’s mental conception was being assisted in the spiritual world, he managed to find something unharmonious.

A formation map’s power.

In fact, it was a formation power that could communicate with the universe. Disguised by the power, while the area looked the same as the outside world, there was a different world inside.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath. A luster was slowly seen in his eyes.

It was a subtle change, but the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Multi-armed King Kong saw it clearly.

“Master Ou, you… Found him?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was agitated. It had a very complicated feeling at the moment.

Ou Yangming grinned and turned around to fix his gaze in a specific direction. “Over… There!”
