Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 167 - A Thunderbolt From A Spear

Chapter 167 A Thunderbolt From A Spear
When the spear was out, it was like a giant titanium rock-all-conquering!
When the spear was out, it was like a giant limitless dragon-invincible!
Tributary Chen’s spear was still a normal wooden spear, but the aura that was released was so intense that it was indescribable.
The stab from the ordinary spear made Ou Yangming feel like he was suppressed by a tall mountain.
Only extreme power was released from the spear as no mental power was unleashed, but the simple attack caused enormous pressure on Ou Yangming’s mind.
It was then when he clearly experienced an incredibly horrifying feeling. He did not encounter such a forceful pressure even when he walked the Testimony Path.
The most notable feeling that Ou Yangming felt on the Testimony Path was exhaustion, which made it difficult for him to carry on. On the other hand, the spear was truly a lethal weapon. It made him feel like he was faced with death or the oppression from an irresistible tall mountain, and it reminded him of when he was sneakily attacked by Zhang Hanyu and when he was attacked by Zhang Yinli during his journey.
Ou Yangming initially thought he would no longer feel like that as his cultivation base improved, but he finally realized that it was only because he had not met powerful opponents.
A Supreme Great Ancestor could still pose a lethal threat to him. Ou Yangming opened his mouth as he tried hard to breathe, but the air around him seemed to have frozen due to the spear, so he could not breathe at all.
Being enveloped by a death threat, Ou Yangming felt like his brain was going to stop operating It turned out that when a martial arts powerhouse’s power was cultivated to the extreme and was completely unleashed, even one’s spiritual world would be greatly affected.
The oppression, which was a result of the huge disparity between their ranks, was vividly displayed at that moment.
All of a sudden, the purple light in Ou Yangming’s mind jumped.
Like a fuse, it quickly ignited the mental power that was hidden in his mind. The 40 Points of powerful mental power were instantly transmitted to every part of his body at the speed of light, which helped pull him out of the boundless fear. Next, Ou Yangming saw it.
The spear. It was still the spear.
Although the view of a towering mountain disappeared, the substantial threat from the spear did not reduce at all.
The tip of the spear was not close to Ou Yangming’s body yet, but he saw the fluctuating airflow.
Ou Yangming was unusually awake at that instant, where he could even see the most detailed change in every airflow in the void.
The integration of Heaven and man! Thoroughly meticulous!
Ou Yangming’s spear finally moved. It did not move by a big margin as he only pushed it upward a little to touch the tip of Tributary Chen’s spear.
There was a huge difference between their powers. Not to mention Ou Yangming could not match his power with the tributary’s, even if he was fully equipped, he could not contend with the Supreme Great Ancestor, who had unleashed his essential Qi.
If the tips of both spears touched, it would mean that Ou Yangming was shaking resistance with resistance, fronting strength with strength, and breaking force with force. It was simply a suicidal act.
Sure enough, the tip of Ou Yangming’s spear was mercilessly swung away, whereas Tributary Chen’s spear continued forward without being obstructed.
The area between Ou Yangming’s thumb and index finger was cut, and blood flowed out.
This was the price he had to pay for making such rigid contact, and his legs shivered at the same time as if he was going to fall to the ground.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming widened his eyes and gritted his teeth. The strong and tough willpower he had after walking the Testimony Path burst out at once, allowing him to stand
firmly.
Afterward, an unexpected scene took place. The tip of Ou Yangming’s spear, which was hit, was not actually knocked away. It turned in an extremely small semicircle in the void, then it pricked another point on Tributary Chen’s spear.
Nevertheless, the Supreme Great Ancestor’s power was not trivial at all and was far beyond one’s imagination. Though Tributary Chen’s spear was stabbed twice, it did not actually affect him.
Ou Yangming’s spear was easily tipped away once more.
Despite that, Tributary Chen’s eyes lit up because he could feel that the second spear’s power was greater than the first.
Leveraged force!
Ou Yangming’s own power obviously could not be compared to Tributary Chen’s, but he could borrow the tributary’s power, so he borrowed it from his spear. Earlier on, Ou Yangming had used skills and techniques of leverage force against Tributary Chen, but the spear went back and forth, hence they had different trials of strength.
This time, Ou Yangming did something that Tributary Chen regarded as unbelievable.
He actually borrowed the power of the tributary’s spear to resist the spear.
“How did this young fella do it?’ Even Tributary Chen wondered.
While he found it strange and was even glad, he still stabbed his spear ruthlessly without the intention of making allowances for Ou Yangming.
A soft and unnoticeable sound was heard right then.
“Ding!”
The third contact.
It was the third time the tip of Ou Yangming’s spear and Tributary Chen’s spear contacted intimately.
Ou Yangming’s consciousness rose without a limit, and he became more stimulated than ever because of the Supreme Great Ancestor’s spear.
Even when he faced Zhang Yinli in the past or when he was attacked by the Black Magic Crawlers in the Chaos Cave, his consciousness never rose so high.
In his eyes, Tributary Chen’s spear had already become one with Heaven and Earth.
This was the representation of the integration of Heaven and man, which proved that the tributary’s spear had achieved the state of comprehending nature.
The spear would seem like a flawless weapon in the eyes of other powerhouses who were in the same rank as Ou Yangming.
However, Ou Yangming noticed a line of possibility from the impossible.
Thoroughly meticulous!
The second state allowed him to see several tiny insignificant spots on the spear.
They were the result of the incompletely balanced powers, which proved that the spear still had minor flaws, but they were too tiny to be perceived by normal people.
Therefore, Ou Yangming stabbed his spear and borrowed force from the toughest spot to spike the first weak spot.
Unquestionably, his act was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but he finally borrowed enough power to lever the world.
“Ding!”
The instant the third clash happened, Tributary Chen’s spear seemed to have paused for a split second.
Ou Yangming’s spear was knocked off again, but the spear looked like it had somehow turned into him.
His power and persistence transformed into the spear.
Regardless of the place and the difficulty, Ou Yangming and his spear were not going to give up at all.
Persevere, persevere, and persevere. They would persevere in the limitless darkness until they found the only source of light, then they would step out of the unending darkness to a path as bright as the sun and the moon.
“Ding!”
During the fourth contact, Tributary Chen’s spear shook so slightly that it could hardly be sensed, and his face finally changed a little.
He initially thought he could definitely defeat Ou Yangming this time.
On the contrary, Tributary Chen incited Ou Yangming’s potential instead and made the young fellow become trickier and more difficult to handle. The four continuous contacts between their spears actually wavered the tributary’s rock-solid spear force instead.
Huge damage could be caused by a moment’s negligence.
Perhaps the slight shake was a sign that his attack would be unsuccessful.
Nonetheless, Tributary Chen’s willpower was not weaker than Ou Yangming’s. He quickly curbed his thought and focused his mind on his spear.
His spear force became violent again, and it transformed into an ancient ferocious beast that would crush everything in its way. “Ding!”
A formidable sword intent burst out during the fifth contact which instantly crushed the power that was previously accumulated by Ou Yangming. It was as if Tributary Chen wanted to use the moment to prove that his spear force was still unstoppable.
“Ding!”
When their spears made contact for the sixth time, even when Tributary Chen exerted almost all his power, he unexpectedly sensed something unordinary. Savage and aggressive yet steady willpower. It was the spear’s willpower, as well as ou Yangming’s willpower.
Even though Tributary Chen went all out to crumble Ou Yangming’s power during the fifth contact, the young fellow actually borrowed force again, and the force that was borrowed was the tributary’s spear intent, which was a result of him making an all-out effort.
The seventh, the eighth…
Once the spears contacted for the eleventh time, everyone heard a shatter.
“Pow!”
Following that, they saw the spear of the majestic and arrogant Supreme Great Ancestor Tributary Chen suddenly broke.
Instead of turning into countless shards that shot out, the spear seemed like it was crushed by an enormous power, causing its nature to completely burst apart.
Hence, the spear broke and split in Tributary Chen’s hand, and it turned into a fine powder, which slowly vanished with the wind.
On the other hand, Ou Yangming still held his sword in front of the tributary. He had pricked eleven times with his spear earlier, where he used the tip to meet force with force and continued streaking the shaft at unparalleled speed. During those crucial moments, Ou Yangming completed eleven swift pricks. Each time he did, he did it on a floating weak point, which was the spear’s weakest load-carrying point. Consequently, Tributary Chen’s spear turned into the battlefield of two powers. The more frightening thing about it was the power was actually a match with his own power.
Not to mention a wooden spear, even a spear made of steel could not survive having to withstand the power.
Thus, Tributary Chen’s spear failed to take Ou Yangming out in the end, whereas it broke halfway and was completely destroyed.
A stream of blood slowly flowed from Ou Yangming’s hand.
The blood flowed out from the cut between his thumb and his index finger.
As Ou Yangming’s blood flowed down his spear, he was like a bloody god of war who looked down between Heaven and Earth.
