Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 918 - A Venerable One's Death



Chapter 918: A Venerable One’s Death

Big Yellow and the goshawk nodded at the same time with grave looks on their faces. In particular, the goshawk had become a top-grade spirit beast. As long as it completely stabilized its realm, it would have a chance to become a Venerable One with the help of the formation and the Thunderbolt-resistant Suit. As such, watching the Venerable Ones fighting to one’s last gasp at this time would give it unimaginable benefits for it to become a Venerable One in the future.

The moonlight was clear and cold, and a deafening sound reverberated in all directions in the dark night.

A cold wind whistled. The sharp light from Li Shaoyuan’s flame saber was blocked, but he was not discouraged. Those who were brave to resist the Heavenly Disaster and broke through to become Venerable Ones were figures with great perseverance and courage.

After grunting coldly, Li Shaoyuan mobilized the spiritual power in his dantian to the extreme. When he flapped his sleeve, a piece of black bone flew out. This bone was gloomy and faintly gave off an ominous feeling. It showed a devilish and enchanting look, which could give one chills.

Nonetheless, Multi-armed King Kong was not afraid at all. Instead, it faced the sky and let out a long roar.

As it roared, all the crushed stones and fallen leaves within 33 meters from it soared into the sky.

Multi-armed King Kong pressed its right hand down. Consequently, a pair of large hands the same as its palms was suddenly condensed. It slapped toward the piece of bone and bent its back to shoot out like a lightning arc at the same time.

It was then when the broken bone shone in a bright black light that directly cut open the hands that were formed from spiritual Qi. It carried a majestic black Qi as it pounced toward Multi-armed King Kong. In a flash, a pair of black pupils suddenly appeared in the king kong’s spiritual world. This caused it to be stunned in mid-air for a while, and it was struck directly on its lower abdomen by the broken bone. A blood groove was instantly formed on its abdomen while black Qi was released.

“What a powerful physical strength!” Li Shaoyuan was shocked. The piece of black bone had a remarkable penetrating power. Each time he used it against his opponent, he would be able to succeed. Nevertheless, it only caused a blood groove to appear on Multi-armed King Kong’s body. This kind of physical strength… He had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

Even so, Li Shaoyuan moved even faster. It was as if he had turned into a whirlwind as he slashed the Nine-ringed Silver Dragon Saber at Multi-armed King Kong’s head.

Concurrently, he shouted in a low voice, “Fire!”

Raging flames were instantly ignited on the long saber.

The scorching flames caused Multi-armed King Kong to feel a piercing pain. It snorted coldly and forcibly stopped. Without any form of movement, it spread its arms open and shot out a shocking arc. It punched toward Li Shaoyuan’s head, which was clearly an unreasonable fighting style that relied on its tyrannical physical strength.

Multi-armed King Kong might only be seriously injured if it was struck by the saber, but Li Shaoyuan would definitely die if he was hit in the head by the king kong’s fist.

Li Shaoyuan had experienced the strength of Multi-armed King Kong. It had only slapped his blade once, but it managed to tear his palm. If he were to be punched in the head, even if he was a Venerable One, he would not be able to take it, right? Moreover, the most important thing was that the elder’s physical strength was not very strong. At the very least, in terms of physical strength alone, he was not on par with the monster in front of him.

He gritted his teeth and withdrew his long saber. At the same time, he also dodged the punch.

The elder then guided the black bone, which turned into a black light that attacked from the side.

Multi-armed King Kong lowered its center of gravity and chased after Li Shaoyuan. It placed its left hand in front of its chest for defense while it punched unreasonably with its right. Its fist was surrounded by a hurricane, and the fist technique was cold and overbearing.

“You plan to exchange injuries for injuries again?” Li Shaoyuan’s ferocity was also stimulated. He lowered his center of gravity, bent his legs backward, and flipped his body upward. His left hand blocked Multi-armed King Kong’s fist, while his right lifted his saber.

Multi-armed King Kong used its left hand to block the saber, but its fist was also blocked by Li Shaoyuan.

The arms of the man and the beast were intersecting with each other.

“Boom…”

A violent wind swept in all directions and swirled up.

This storm spread out with the 2 of them as the center, causing ripples to form in space. Everything within 33 meters from them crumbled bit by bit. The ground collapsed, where fine cracks spread down.

“Die!” Multi-armed King Kong roared again, unleashing every inch of its physical power.

This time, it was as if Li Shaoyuan’s body was hit by a ferocious beast from ancient times. The Qi and blood in his body surged, and all of his internal organs shifted. A stream of bright red blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He staggered and retreated. With each step, the elder shattered the ground under his feet again. At this moment, he understood that in terms of physical power, even 2 of him would not be a match for this big fellow in front of him. Furthermore, he knew the ancient ape must have cultivated an exceptional body-refining technique because it dared to black a blade with its bare hands. The blade was a High Grade Rank Five magic tool!

Li Shaoyuan did not know that his thoughts had also once appeared in Qiu Chengwang’s mind very strongly.

Ou Yangming nodded with a smile. A crafty look flashed in his eyes as he said, “This is as expected of a spirit beast that has gone through 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts. It improved so much in such a short time.”

His voice shook Li Shaoyuan’s eardrums, causing the grim look on his face to reach an extremity.

The elder only remembered a certain part of Ou Yangming’s words, and he looked somewhat absent-minded.

‘6 Heavenly Thunderbolts? How’s that possible…’

This was the effect that Ou Yangming wanted. Momentums were very important during a combat between powerhouses. Now, at least 10% of Li Shaoyuan’s momentum was affected because of the young fellow’s words.

Li Shaoyuan clearly understood Ou Yangming’s “evil intention”, so he forcefully cast this thought aside.

He held his saber horizontally as he coldly shouted, “Million Deaths in Heart!” As he uttered the last word, the black bone that was controlled by his mental power looked more devilish. In an instant, it became bigger, and a skull pattern appeared on it like a ghostly talisman. Just one look would be enough to send a chill down one’s spine.

Multi-armed King Kong’s fighting will grow even stronger. The illusory ancient ape behind him shook incessantly as it growled in a muffled voice, “With my blood essence, I’ll awaken the truth!”

Before its voice was gone, the ancient ape opened its eyes. The area within 3 kilometers from it was painted red. Red sky, red ground, red trees, red crescent moon, and red moonlight—it seemed like it entered a bloody world.

Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes reflected the image of the ancient ape. It gently stroked the air with its fingers. When it was done, a red blade appeared in its hand. It was the Atavistic Saber!

Ou Yangming was deeply moved. This was his second time seeing the Atavistic Saber.

The first time was when Multi-armed King Kong fought against Qiu Chengwang. This was the second time. Ou Yangming noticed that the Atavistic Saber had undergone great changes. The patterns on the blade became even more complex and complicated. There were faint traces of blood. In particular, the ancient ape that stood on the hilt of the blade looked like it was not a decoration, but a living creature. It had life as if it could open its eyes at any time.

Ou Yangming eyes gleamed. He wondered when Multi-armed King Kong would be able to condense the Atavistic Saber to the point where it could kill gods and demons.

The moment the Atavistic Saber was condensed, Li Shaoyuan felt his heart tighten, and his body shivered. It was as if a power that was beyond his understanding had appeared.

He knew that he could not delay any longer. Otherwise, he would die here today.

Biting the tip of his tongue, he placed his right hand on the spot between his eyebrows and spat out 2 mouthfuls of blood essence consecutively. The blood essences turned into bloody mists that were as fine and dense as the dews on tree leaves in the morning. They flowed onto the black bone, causing the demonic skull pattern to smile.

Yes, though it was just a pattern, it was still smiling. However, its smile was sinister. At the spur of the moment, ghostly skeleton patterns appeared everywhere. The sound of a child chuckling could also be heard. The laughter was cheerful and innocent, but it could give one a penetrating chill.

The smile was sinister, but the laughter was hearty and pure. Even Multi-armed King Kong felt a chill run down its spine due to the queer scene.

Ou Yangming, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face and did not say a word.

Without warning, Li Shaoyuan raised his left hand and pressed down with his right middle finger. Following this action, the skeleton patterns began to spin, blotting out the sky and covering the ground as they oppressed Multi-armed King Kong.

Multi-armed King Kong held the Atavistic Saber tightly. Its mind was filled with chuckles.

A hint of confusion flashed across its eyes. It was them when the tongue of a flame in its spiritual world lit up. This was the contract it had made with Ou Yangming. The flame was dim, but it dispersed the laughter in its mind and ignited its blood.

“I want you to die!” Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes were bloodshot. The Atavistic Saber seemed to have sensed something, causing numerous traces of blood to appear. The hidden viciousness of the ancient ape bloodline burst out as the king kong let out a long cry and yelled, “Mind Training Slash!” With that, the blood traces merged into the ancient ape at the tip of the blade.

“Boom…” The ancient ape’s eyes opened. They were calm and indifferent. Following that, a golden light burst out, causing the entire world to be filled with it. It illuminated the night to be as bright as day. A domineering aura that could destroy all life surged out as if it came from the primordial era.

When the golden light on the blade was condensed to its extreme, Multi-armed King Kong swung its long blade forward.

A tremendously sharp golden light slashed out. Accompanied by a violent hurricane, it devoured Li Shaoyuan. Wherever it passed, spiritual Qi dissipated and all things shattered. This was the ancient ape that could suppress the world. This was mind training, which could destroy the heavens.

Wherever it passed, the skeleton patterns collapsed. The children’s laughter that echoed in the air also faded away.

Li Shaoyuan’s expression changed drastically. At this moment, a strong sense of regret rose in his heart. He should not have pampered Li Tianyu so much. He should not have allowed him to do whatever he wanted. The young man should have been taught to be virtuous, set his heart right, and settle his life. The elder recalled the first time he saw Li Tianyu. He remembered the first time he called him grandfather, as well as the first time he pulled his beard. There were many first times. The short moment was not considered his legend, but his life that was full of ups and downs had briefly flashed past in his mind.

In just a moment, the golden saber-light pierced through his heart.

He looked up at Huixun City and exhaled the last breath of murky air. Li Shaoyuan knew that this was his last breath.

The bright light in his eyes slowly disappeared. With a bam, he fell to the ground and caused dust to scatter. The Venerable One, who could do anything he wanted in Huixun City, died without a sound.

Subsequently, the world also fell silent. Big Yellow, Multi-armed King Kong, and the goshawk went to Ou Yangming’s side at the same time.

“Let’s go!” He looked at Huixun City and said slowly, “But before we leave, there’s one more thing to do.”

Their figures swayed and slowly disappeared in the dark night.
