Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 421 - Illusion Clones

Chapter 421 Illusion Clones

The blazing flames were glowing, and the rocks were forceful!
It was as though Heaven and Earth were filled with flaming large rocks in the blink of an eye, and the violent forces seemed like they were going to destroy everything there.
When Multi-armed King Kong looked up at the incoming huge rocks, it was indifferent.
The rocks were launched from behind the towering city walls in the distance, but they were somehow accurately aimed at its humongous body. Moreover, the rocks traveled so fast that not all half-spirit beasts could evade them.
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows. Every city had something they were adept in.
Putting aside the other aspects, Feiya County was definitely the best at throwing rocks.
Nonetheless, the seemingly destructive rocks were like toys to Multi-armed King Kong.
It raised two of its arms and firmly grabbed the first two rocks in mid-air. The giant rocks were scorching, but the spirit beast was not burnt at all as if it did not sense the heat at all. Following that, it tossed the rocks to the side.
Each time Multi-armed King Kong swung its arm, it captured a rock in the air. It took only a brief moment before every rock was caught and hurled to the side. With that, the spirit beast was no longer threatened.
Ou Yangming and the others shook their heads. Not to mention ordinary fire rocks, even if the enormous creature was attacked by nearly 100 pieces of Skill Equipment, it would only suffer external wounds. Furthermore, the giant spirit beast would be alive and kicking the next day.
It threw two more rocks in its hands. The rocks could easily crush great-ancestor-level powerhouses into meat paste, but they looked like toys in its hands.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He turned to look at one of the rocks by the road.
The rock’s surface was covered in kerosene, hence it was still burning. At one glance, the rock seemed to be the same as the scattered rocks around it, but Ou Yangming somehow became interested in it.
He flashed and jumped off the platform, then he approached the fire rocks while the others exclaimed.
Multi-armed King Kong stopped and looked at Ou Yangming in confusion.
With bright eyes, Ou Yangming slowly reached out to touch the fire.
Next, the fire strangely entered Ou Yangming’s palm as though it was summoned by him, then it disappeared.
This was not Ou Yangming’s first time displaying this power, but the other people would still be in awe whenever they witnessed
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not stop because of this. After he absorbed the fire on the rock, he shook his hand again, releasing a light mightier than the flame earlier. Next, the rock was enveloped by a flame again, but the fire was more intense and fiercer this time. With that, even Multi-armed King Kong, which was not bothered about the flames earlier, could not help but take a few steps back.
Ou Yangming was highly-spirited. The purple Military Fire in his mind suddenly burst out.
Although the rock could previously withstand being burned by the kerosene, it immediately cracked when it was burned by the purple Military Fire. The young fellow stared at the center of the rock. He wanted to know what exactly triggered his Military Fire. Who knew, an extremely fearsome aura was released from the rock without warning. The aura appeared out of nowhere, causing one to be caught off guard. Afterward, an illusory figure emerged from the rock and fled far away.
“Roar…”
Multi-armed King Kong, which was initially slothful, let out a deafening roar. It leaped and became as agile as an ape, then it caught up to the illusory image in a split second. Subsequently, it crushed the image with its clenched fist without holding back at all.
Accompanied by the thunderous sound, the illusory image let out a shrill screech, then it exploded and vanished into thin air.
The moment the odd figure appeared, Ou Yangming backed away at the speed of light. It was merely illusory, but the young fellow still sensed an immense fear. If the thing had not escaped but tried to kill him, he dared not say that he could retreat unscathed.
He sighed a breath of relief only after Multi-armed King Kong killed it.
“King Kong, what was that?” Ou Yangming asked while he trembled in fear. “That was an insect spirit.” Multi-armed King Kong looked grim. It was its first time having such a serious look on its face.
“An insect spirit?”
“Yes, insect spirits are illusion clones released by insects. The Insects are timid fellas, so in terms of making themselves invisible, no other race is on par with them.” Multi-armed King Kong gritted its teeth. Ou Yangming frowned. He scanned the ruptured giant rock for some time then retrieved a green crystal from it.
Multi-armed King Kong was shocked. “That’s a spirit stone, which is formed after the universe’s spiritual power is gathered to a certain level. I can’t believe it can be found in this realm.”
“Is this spiritual stone very precious?” Ou Yangming was moved.
“It should be incredibly precious in this realm, but stones like it can be found everywhere in our realm, so it’s not a big deal.” Multi-armed King Kong shook its head.
Ou Yangming pondered for a while then kept the spiritual stone in his interspatial back. Since it was gathered from the universe’s spiritual power, he could not regard it as unimportant. Perhaps Multi-armed King Kong was knowledgeable and made little of it, but he could not do the same.
The young fellow looked at the large rock again. Not only did it carry a spiritual stone, but there was also an illusion clone of a powerful spirit beast from the Insects. It was truly bewildering.
They were in Feiya City at the moment, which was a place for bird spirit beasts, so why did the Insects’ spirit beast come?
Ou Yangming shook his head and got up to the platform again. “Let’s go.”
With that, Multi-armed King Kong turned and continued forward in the established direction. By then, everyone on the city walls had witnessed the scene, so while they were still nervous, they no longer launched the large fire rocks.

On the other hand, just as Ou Yangming and the others were roughly 100 meters away from the fractured rock, a faint and unnoticeable green light flickered. It fell from the inside of the rock and seeped through the ground, then it disappeared.
“The Heavenly Phoenix Fire—it was the Heavenly Phoenix Fire! How could it appear in a human-a human from the lower realm? Did that master come to this world because of this? Hmph, if I report this, even if that spirit beast from the Beasts is there to protect that human, the other masters will try to seize the fire regardless of the cost…”
Later on, the green shadow slowly floated then vanished again by going underground. Ou Yangming turned his head abruptly to look at the split large rock.
He felt rather strange because he seemed to have sensed something bad at that instant. However, he became clueless when he tried to figure it out.
“Who are you?”
A sonorous voice cut off Ou Yangming’s train of thoughts. He turned back to look and noticed two men jumping off the wall and landed on the main road.
Multi-armed King Kong ignored them because the two little humans were like two ants to it. It would be fine even if it had accidentally stomped them.
That said, Ou Yangming could not let it happen, thus it quickly ordered Multi-armed King Kong to stop. Once he took a closer look at the men, he could not help but laugh out loud. “Brother Zuoqiu, long time no see.”
The two people who blocked their path were an elder and a young man. The elder was a stranger, but the young man happened to be Zuoqiu Hongyuan, whom Ou Yangming had an intense fight with in the past. Zuoqiu Hongyuan’s eyes lit up, and he shouted back, “Brother Ou, it’s you indeed!”
He was somewhat relieved when he spoke. Given that they were acquaintances, communication between them could be simpler than if they were strangers.
Ou Yangming laughed and jumped off the platform again.
Zuoqiu Hongyuan raised his eyebrows and welcomed the young fellow. He asked, “Brother Ou, didn’t you bring Her Highness and Pavilion Master Bai to Changlong County? Why did you leave behind such a happy life and come all the way to Feiya County?”
Ou Yangming staggered and almost tripped, and he ended up falling from Multi-armed King Kong’s body. He felt his back burn as if many people were staring at him from behind. When the young fellow finally faced Zuoqiu Hongyuan, he glared at the man and wanted very badly to sew his mouth, which almost got him into trouble.
“Brother Ou, why do you look so scary?” Zuoqiu Hongyuan was startled.
“Look, Brother Zuoqiu…” Ou Yangming took a deep breath and pointed at the big platform on Multi-armed King Kong’s back. Zuoqiu Hongyuan was dumbfounded after he glanced at the beast. “This gigantic beast is frightening. Is it the spirit beast that Changlong County managed to control?” Ou Yangming uttered snappily, “I’m asking you to look at the thing on its back.”
“What’s there to see on its back…” Zuoqiu Hongyuan mumbled.
Sure enough, for many people who were seeing Multi-armed King Kong for the first time, the beast was more eye-catching than the platform on its back.
“There’s a platform there. Don’t you want to know who the people are?” Ou Yangming answered.
Zuoqiu Hongyuan was not an idiot, so his face changed after he heard the young fellow’s response. He questioned softly, “Are they all up there?”
“What do you think?”
“Hehe, Brother Ou, I have something urgent to attend to, so please excuse me, but I must leave now.” Zuoqiu Hongyuan twitched his mouth and let out a hollow laugh.
Ou Yangming suddenly reached out to grab Zuoqiu Hongyuan’s arm, then he put on a fake smile and said, “Brother Zuoqiu, it’s rare that I’m here, so we must have a “good” chat!”
The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere between them was strange.
