Chapter 1124 - The Abyss Swamp



Chapter 1124: The Abyss Swamp

Du Xie told Ou Yangming everything he knew. The young fellow had also experienced a new world.

He was glad that he had come to the heart of origins. If he had not come here, he might never have known that there was such a glorious history in the Great Wide World.

The pre-ancient times were destroyed by a disaster. What was that disaster? It had never been recorded in any ancient records.

Even Du Xie did not know where the disaster had come from. He only knew that after that calamity, all the top powerhouses of the Shaman Tribe had disappeared. All the secret arts and spirit treasures had disappeared. The other powerhouses in the Great Wide World were the same. It was as if they had all vanished overnight.

What remained were just small fish and small shrimps. At that time, the Shaman Tribe, which had lost their powerhouses, still had their foundations. They were still very powerful and ruled over the land. The Dragons and the Phoenixes, which were not famous in ancient times, also began to rise. The Great Wide World began to reshuffle again and the time was called the post-ancient times.

After the post-ancient times, the Dragons and the Phoenixes rose to their status at the moment.

Compared to the world before the disaster, the post-ancient times were not on the same level at all. There were no traces of Innate Spirit Treasures and even Acquired Taoist Tools were very rare. This was also the reason Du Xie was so shocked when he heard that the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron was an Innate Spirit Treasure.

After hearing Du Xie’s words, Ou Yangming looked at him and said, “Senior Du Xie, this treasure is too precious. It must be very precious to your tribe. I really can’t accept it.”

Naturally, Ou Yangming also wanted the treasure very much, but he understood even more that he should take things the right way. If the clan master had decided to gift him the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron without knowing how precious it was, he would not be able to accept it rashly.

“Lord Ou, please don’t say that. Spirit treasures have spirit, and it recognizes you as its master. Besides, even if you return it to us, it’ll only be a waste in our hands.” Du Xie seemed very open-minded.

Du Jian also nodded and said, “Lord Ou, don’t reject it anymore, but there’s one thing to note. Only the 3 of us know the equivalent rank of this of the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. In this world, Innate Spirit Treasures are too precious…”

Du Xie also said, “Du Jian is right. Be careful when you use this treasure. Don’t let others know its equivalent rank.”

“Senior, I understand.”

Ou Yangming did not reject it anymore. He secretly decided that in the future, whenever the Shaman Tribe was in trouble, he would definitely lend a helping hand.

He tried to put the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron back into the Long Feather Band. As expected, it was useless.

Following that, the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron sent him a chant. Ou Yangming silently recited it, and the huge cauldron on the ground gradually shrank before completely entering his body.

“This Innate Spirit Treasure is indeed extraordinary. It can actually sense my thoughts.” Ou Yangming observed for a moment in his body and saw that the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, which had shrunk countless times, was motionless in his dantian. Only then did he relax.

For the next few days, Ou Yangming stayed in the Shaman Tribe.

As their previous home had been destroyed during the battle, the Shamans needed to build a new home. The mountain was not far away. One by one, the tribe members went to the mountain to cut wood and quickly built tall wooden houses.

Their home was quickly built again. Unfortunately, the Big Mountain-guarding Formation was still not repaired. This was the key point. The last time Luo Yang and Jin Hai had invaded, if the formation had existed, it would not have caused such heavy losses.

Ou Yangming was a master of formations in the Spiritual Realm. When he arrived at the Phoenixes’ headquarters, his attainments in formations were also among the best. Nonetheless, this was the heart of origins. His experiences in formations appeared to be useless in front of the Shaman Tribe’s Big Mountain-guarding Formation. After all, their formation was inherited from ancient times. The patterns in the formation were complicated, and the connecting points were difficult to understand. These were all arrangements that the young fellow had never seen before, so he did not know how to start.

The Big Mountain-guarding Formation could not be repaired in a day or two. On the sixth day of Ou Yangming’s stay in the Shaman Tribe, Du Xie suddenly said that he was going out for a trip.

Under Ou Yangming’s questioning, Du Xie finally told him his purpose. He wanted to go to the Abyss Swamp. That place was where the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis were sealed. He wanted to go and see how the seal was doing at this time, and he wanted to confirm the time when the 2 races would break the seal. This way, he could plan ahead.

“Senior, I’ll go with you,” Ou Yangming said after listening to Du Xie’s explanation.

Du Xie had a strange look on his face. “The situation there is completely unpredictable. This trip is bound to be fraught with danger. Lord Ou, it’s better not to go.”

“How do you think my strength is compared to yours?” Ou Yangming asked.

Without even thinking, Du Xie answered directly, “Naturally, I can’t compare to you, Lord Ou. Your strength is comparable to that of a Ruler in the second step of the laws. Even if I recover all my strength, I’m still not your match.”

Ou Yangming smiled. “Then what are you worried about, Senior Du Xie? I’ve come to the heart of origins and also want to walk around. I’ll have to trouble you to bring me along this time, senior.”

The young fellow had entered the heart of origins only because of a strange phenomenon here. He did not even know what his purpose was.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming had gained too much here. Not only did he obtain the inheritance of Xing Tian’s blood essence and learn a heaven-defying spear principle, but he also obtained the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, which was an Innate Spirit Treasure.

“Alright, let’s go together.” Du Xie nodded. Ou Yangming’s strength was extraordinary. Even in the heart of origins, there were very few people who could harm him.

This time, they were only going to see the situation of the seal and not to fight the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis. Bringing Ou Yangming along would not be a big deal.

With that, the 2 of them set off on the same day.

The dragon boat flew quickly in the sky. This was also a beautiful view in the heart of origins. The dragon boat was developed by the Dragons and the Phoenixes in the outside world. Few natives of the heart of origins had seen one before.

This was a long journey. The heart of origins was too massive, after all, and the place they were going to was also a particularly remote place here.

On the way, since the dragon boat was too ostentatious, they also met people who wanted to snatch it. Despite that, before anyone could make a move, they were slapped to death by Du Xie.

One should not be fooled by how Du Xie was very amiable towards Ou Yangming. As the clan master of the Shaman Tribe, if he did not have some cruel means, the fragile tribe would have long vanished into thin air.

After 3 months, the 2 of them finally arrived at their destination.

The Abyss Swamp, even in the heart of origins, was also a very famous place. There were numerous ferocious spirit beasts here, and it was a known dangerous place here.

Those who were slightly weaker would not be able to live for more than 3 days here. Fortunately, Du Xie’s body had recovered on the way here, so he did not have to worry about any accidents.

After arriving here, Ou Yangming put away the dragon boat. It was better not to be ostentatious, especially in the Abyss Swamp, which was known to be a dangerous place.

Du Xie had a map in his hand, so he knew where the specific location of the seal was. He led the way in front, while Ou Yangming followed behind.

The 2 of them flew at a low altitude and carefully watched their surroundings.

“Be careful,” they shouted almost at the same time.

Ou Yangming and Du Xie’s bodies quickly grew taller.

At the same time, a huge monster suddenly rushed out from the seemingly flat swamp ground. This monster flew out from the mud and almost instantly jumped in the direction where the 2 of them had been. It opened its mouth and revealed sharp fangs, which were accompanied by a foul smell.

Luckily, Ou Yangming and Du Xie had already sensed it and left the place ahead of time. Otherwise, even if they were not swallowed, they would have been covered in mud.

Ou Yangming took out the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer and thrust it downward. The spear hit the monster’s head, and blood spurted out. The young fellow put away his spear and hurriedly dodged.

The monster fell to the ground and soon entered the swamp again.

Du Xie stared at the sinking monster and said, “This is an Abyss Lizard. It’s just an ordinary monster here.”

“An ordinary monster can be so powerful?”

Ou Yangming was slightly surprised. It seemed that the Abyss Swamp’s reputation as a dangerous place was not made up. Although the Abyss Lizard was killed by Ou Yangming in one move, it was one because his lethality was too shocking. If it was a Venerable One, it might have been a different ending.

In the Abyss Swamp, an ordinary monster had the strength of a Venerable One. No wonder this place was called a dangerous place.

Du Xie looked into the distance and said, “We should leave this place quickly. If we’re entangled by them, it’ll be quite troublesome.”

Ou Yangming nodded, and the 2 quickly left.

Not long after, a few whirlpools appeared on the swamp on the ground. 7 or 8 Abyss Lizards poked their heads out, but the 2 had already left.

Along the way, Ou Yangming met many monsters. Some were stronger than the Abyss Lizards, but some were weaker than them. As long as these monsters attacked them, he would kill all of them without exception. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also honed his spear skill but unfortunately, the enemies were too weak.

“Someone died here.”

Ou Yangming’s gaze was fixed on a reed forest. There were 2 corpses there. Their bodies had been deformed. Their heads were hung around their necks, and there were many wounds on their bodies.

Du Xie frowned slightly. “Let’s go and take a look.”

Coming to the side of the 2 people, he could see even more clearly. The 2 people on the ground had probably just died as the temperature on their bodies had not yet dissipated.

There was another reason for this conclusion. In the Abyss Swamp, their bodies were like delicious food. If they were discovered, they would surely be eaten. If they were not eaten, it could only mean that they had not died long ago. For the time being, no lizards or other monsters had discovered them.

Just as Ou Yangming was observing them, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared next to the corpses on the ground. The bodies of the 2 people were instantly sucked in.

The suction force was very strong. Even Ou Yangming and Du Xie, who were floating in the air, could clearly feel the power.

“This is the power of laws.”

Ou Yangming and Du Xie looked at each other and decisively retreated into the sky. At the same time, a large monster rushed out from the whirlpool on the ground.

“Roar!”

The monster let out an angry roar in the air. The sound was not only ear-piercing but also carried a forceful sound wave attack.

Subsequently, the monster’s body broke through the air, and it was so humongous that it was frightening. In front of the monster, Ou Yangming was as small as an ant.
