Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 402 - The Sky-devouring Evil Remnant

Chapter 402 The Sky-devouring Evil Remnant

In the small alley, Ou Yangming grinned, but his eyes were ice-cold and unperturbed.
He seemed to have entered a realm free from desires when he stared at the unknown elder in front of him, such that nobody could perceive anything from his eyes. The young fellow’s 99 points of mental power formed an invisible wall, which blocked every external power away from him.
The unusual look in the elder’s eyes slowly faded away after a long time, and remarked with a nod, “Not bad, you’ve indeed acquired my master’s inheritance. Congratulations.”
Ou Yangming smiled faintly and looked like his mind was elsewhere.
“Please forgive me for asking this out of curiosity-how did you gain Master’s power?”. The elder asked after some thought.
Ou Yangming pondered for some time, but instead of answering the elder, he asked him in return, “Did you bring this power to our world?”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t because I descended to this world, hehe, based on this world’s level of power, how can it accommodate Master’s power?” The elder answered proudly.
“Oh, so were you the one who brought the Fire-absorbing Badges too?”
“Yes.” The elder did not plan to keep it a secret. “I chose a Supreme Great Ancestor among the Humans in this world to distribute 9 Fire-absorbing Badges so that he can collect deadly powers, but only half of them achieved the goal.
Ou Yangming’s eyes finally moved a little because he found out the Fire-absorbing Badges’ origin.
It turned out that there was a hidden powerful figure behind them.
“Are there others like you in our world?”
The elder responded after a moment of hesitation, “A junior brother of mine crossed the space with me but there was a small mishap during the process, so we were separated, and I have no idea where he is. Our target is this world, but seeing as how he got lost when he crossed the space, he likely ended up in a grim situation.”
Ou Yangming nodded but began to make sense of something The elder’s junior brother had not truly died, but he lost his physical body when he crossed the space. In the end, his soul entered a Yang Grade powerhouse’s body by mistake.
Unfortunately, that person came across Ou Yangming, causing his body and soul to be destroyed in the end.
“I won’t force you if you don’t want to let me know, but since you received Master’s power, we’re a family from now on,” the elder noted in a deep voice.
“I’m extremely curious about something-why are the items known as Fire-absorbing Badges?” Ou Yangming curled his lips into a smile.
The elder furrowed his eyebrows and had an even more sinister look on his face. He was displeased because Ou Yangming refused to answer his question, but he forced himself to hold back his anger and explained, “Because Master has a formidable enemy who’s adept in the fire mastery power, so I named the badges like that.”
Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched, he nodded and was deep in thoughts. “You’re a cultivator in this realm, but given that you obtained Master’s power, you have a promising future and can’t stay here forever,” the elder added.
“Are you hoping that I’ll go beyond Heaven?” Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Go beyond Heaven?” The elder was dazed for a while before he stated with a laugh, “I suppose it’s indeed an act of breaking out of this world for natives like you.”
Ou Yangming asked, “You have the way to do that?”
“Of course.” The elder sounded confident and proud. “Given Master’s power, it’s a piece of cake for him to break this world’s barrier. In fact, this world can be easily destroyed too.”
‘Destroy this world?’ Ou Yangming felt a chill in his heart.
‘Is that Sky-devouring Devil God’s power that remarkable?’
“Now, we need to create massacres because Master’s power will be perfected as more living beings die.” The elder said fervently, “The war between the Humans and the Beasts is the best opportunity for Master to upgrade his power; even God’s helping us.”
Ou Yangming looked up and asked, “What do you plan to do?”
“I’ll break the walls for the Beasts to enter the city. That’s the only way to create a greater slaughter.” The elder had a strange look in his eyes.
“Are you helping the Beasts to kill the Humans?” Ou Yangming’s face darkened.
“You’re wrong. I’m only creating more deadly auras because as long as more living beings die, regardless if they’re the Beasts of the Humans, we’ll benefit from it,” the elder explained leisurely.
“Oh, why would you break the walls then? Aren’t you providing a better condition for the Beasts?”
The elder smirked. “This is only one of the Humans’ big cities, so it won’t be a big deal even if it’s wiped out. Hehe, I want the Beasts to flood the city and cause endless annihilation, then I’ll kill the beast king and use its vigor to leave this world by breaking the barrier.”
“Boom…”
At the spur of the moment, a thunderous rumble was heard coming from afar. Ou Yangming was quite a distance away from the action, but he could sense the intense energy waves over there.
He asked with bright eyes, “What was that?”
“Perhaps the beast king couldn’t wait and decided to make a move.” The elder narrowed his eyes and sighed with pleasure. “Ah, the massacre is getting bigger; making it more intense!”
“Yes, make it more intense.” Ou Yangming nodded after some thought, then he inched toward the elder without a sound.
Without warning, a flash of saber-light was seen coming from his hand as he turned his wrist. Consequently, the small dark alley became as bright as the day as though a little Sun had emerged. As the saber-light carried a harsh light, it was slashed at the elder.
An ear-splitting sound was heard as the sharp blade pierced the air, and it mercilessly lacerated the elder into two.
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was taken aback. He immediately withdrew his saber and backed away, and his armor released a yellow light to envelop his body.
The elder’s corpse, which was cut into two, shook and disappeared with the wind.
It was the Illusion Art.
The body was only an illusion made by an incredibly wonderful Illusion Art, by which even Ou Yangming, who mastered the Simulated Spiritual Fist and had 99 points of mental power, did not notice it at all. “Why do you want to kill me?”
A questioning voice was heard in the void. It drifted from place to place, thus Ou Yangming did not know where it came from.
The young fellow sneered while he stood still. “That was amazing; your Illusion Art has achieved perfection!”
On the other hand, the little phoenix that hid in the dark cursed softly, “Don’t you say? Without the Illusion Art, I would’ve killed him multiple times already!”
“I’ll forget about your killing intent. As long as you’re willing to initiate a mass killing with me to absorb more deadly auras, I’ll bring you out of this world and show you the charm of a real world,” the elder spoke again. “You’ll forget about it? Do you think I’ll buy it?” Ou Yangming smiled smugly. “You will,” The elder sounded earnest. “You’re the only living being I met who can receive Master’s inheritance. As long as you’re willing to follow Master’s arrangements, it doesn’t matter if you kill me.” Ou Yangming scorned. “If that’s the case, why don’t you let me kill you?” “It’s because you haven’t inherited Master’s legacy.” The elder spoke as if it was such a pity. “If you’re truly an embodiment of my master, you can control my life or death with a flash of thought.”
Needless to say, Ou Yangming did not believe in his nonsense. He scanned the alley and searched every suspicious spot.
The elder had detached himself from Ou Yangming’s vision and senses by using the Illusion Art, but no doubt he was hiding nearby.
As long as Ou Yangming could find the elder, he was confident that he could kill him.
He must not let such a dangerous figure leave.
“You can’t find me. You’re short-sighted and inadequate, so you can’t perceive the ability from the real world.” The elder was indifferent.
Ou Yangming kept quiet and was not affected by the elder’s words at all. Next, his eyes lit up because he felt the Military Fire bounce in his sense of consciousness, and it was leading him in a certain direction.
The young fellow focused and chose to trust the Military Fire.
He could not understand why the Military Fire changed so mysteriously, but he would not mind it becoming more sensitive as long as he could find that fellow.
Over there, everything seemed normal.
Ou Yangming wondered, then he kicked in that direction.
His greave glowed all of a sudden, causing bits of blue light to appear in the void. It was the water series power, a unique skill provided by an aristocratic family’s disciple adept in that mastery. Despite that, a forceful offensive skill would normally be attached to weapons. Ou Yangming, a “rich” man who was not bothered about the value of magic tools, was the only person who could simply attach the skill to a greave. The water-mastery blue lights covered that space but just as they were about to fall to the ground, mighty power in the corner blocked some of them.
As for the remaining blue lights, then made a turn and zoomed in that direction as if they found their outlet.
However, invisible shields appeared and stopped all the blue lights.
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows as he was delighted. That fella’s hiding here indeed.’ The little phoenix briefly combed its feathers with its beak, and it looked rather pleased.
‘Sure enough, this young human is closely connected with my clan; he received the information once I guided him a little.’
Later on, the elder showed on again, but he had a ghastly look on his face. “How did you find my real body?”
