Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 803 - At A Dead End

Chapter 803: At A Dead End

Ou Yangming flashed left and right as he kept changing his direction in an extremely narrow space.
He had entered the states of the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous at this moment as he fully displayed his greatest ability.
Ou Yangming had long experienced a Venerable One’s power, which was a power that could communicate with the universe and even cause mountains to fail and the ground to split. If Li Xin wanted to kill him, he could not have escaped no matter what he did.
As long as Li Xin went all-out and crushed Ou Yangming with brute force to inflict bigger harm on him, he would not be able to escape at all. Even if the young fellow kept using the Blood Flight, he could not compare against the fearsome being in terms of endurance.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming only had a chance to survive at the moment because the frightening fellow only wanted to catch him alive without hurting him.
This was the exact reason Li Xin could not perform many powerful tricks. As such, Ou Yangming made use of every chance that he had and found a good time to flee.
Even so, Ou Yangming had a feeling that the powerhouse was losing his patience bit by bit. It seemed like Li Xin would not mind hurting him to catch him already.
If this were to go on, the moment Li Xin lost his patience completely might be the time Ou Yangming would be killed. The young fellow had plenty of treasures with him, but how could he resist a top-grade Venerable One that would attack him at all costs?
Ou Yangming was not resigned to the outcome. He gritted his teeth.
He never yearned for power so much as he did at this time.
‘If I’m also a Venerable One, if my Heavenly Phoenix Fire’s mightier, will the outcome today be entirely different?’
“Boom…”
A giant palm descended from the sky. The shrill palm wind seemed to be crushing toward the ground by sticking closely to Ou Yangming’s body, leaving a massive palm mark behind him.
Li Xin had locked on to Ou Yangming with his mental conception from mid-air. He finally set his ego aside and no longer treated the young fellow like an Intermediate Spiritualist that could easily be seized.
The many times that this formidable Venerable One let the young fellow slip away from his hand had triggered his rage and vigilance.
When he decided to go all-out, regardless of the trump cards that Ou Yangming possessed, they would not be effective anymore.
Li Xin floated in mid-air while he either pressed his finger down or tapped gently. Every move that he made transformed into an enormous attack that enveloped Ou Yangming. Throughout his pursuit, countless living beings had died miserably due to those attacks.
An indifferent smile could faintly be seen on Li Xin’s face. From his perspective, Ou Yangming was a mouse that was struggling under a cat’s claws while lingering on its last breath of life.
He felt content, which was rare, when he looked at the mouse jumping up and down.
Ou Yangming was not an ordinary Intermediate Spiritualist, after all. He was the Phoenixes’ messenger in the Spiritual Realm, and he even possessed the Devil God’s power.
Being a Sky-devouring Evil Remnant, Li Xin somehow enjoyed the pleasure of going against all odds when he pursued Ou Yangming. It made him feel stimulated.
All of a sudden, Li Xin furrowed his eyebrows because a part of his conception that was portioned out realized that Xue Xuanye and the others did not catch up to them. Instead, they were fleeing into the distance.
‘How dare those followers disobey me and escape under my nose? They’ve committed an unforgivable sin.’
Li Xin’s eyes flickered as he was deeply enraged. He gave up his thought of wanting to play cat and mouse with Ou Yangming as he wanted to take the young fellow down cruelly; he would not hesitate to severely injure the fellow anymore.
As for the people that betrayed him, he would not let them get away safely.
A cold intent that was different from before burst out from his body and surged downward.
Ou Yangming shuddered while he ran as he sensed the unordinary aura.
‘He can’t hold back anymore—the potent Venerable One can’t hold back anymore as is going to attack regardless of the costs.’
The aura instantly invaded Ou Yangming’s body and even his sea of consciousness. Being threatened by the aura, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and the giant head inside his sea of consciousness burst out at the same time.
They were mighty beings, hence the power was insignificant to them. Nevertheless, it was provoking them very much at this moment. Although they had not reached their peaks nor had they gained wisdom, due to their arrogance, they could not ignore this.
Almost at the next instant, 2 dissimilar powers were released from Ou Yangming’s body.
One was a bright red firework while the other was a pitch-black illusory figure.
As soon as they appeared, they resisted the chillness that was released by Li Xin. The elder was in disbelief because Ou Yangming, whom he had locked on to using his mental conception, had broken free.
This was an incredibly odd feeling. He could clearly see Ou Yangming shifting and turning below, but he could not sense the young fellow on a spiritual level.
Li Xin’s eyes were filled with lusters like never before. A fluctuation finally appeared in his unfeeling eyes as if a rock was tossed into a deep well, causing the ripples to grow bigger.
‘How can something as strange as this be possible? The 2 powers that were released from Ou Yangming…’
A covetous look could be seen in Li Xin’s eyes. He immediately understood how precious the powers were and what they represented. If he could take possession of those powers… The thought grew without a limit once it appeared, so much so that it became uncontrollable for him.
Initially, Li Xin only wanted to obtain a certain power from Ou Yangming, but he was getting more ambitious.
As for the ants such as Xue Xuanye, how could they be mentioned on equal terms with Ou Yangming’s powers? Li Xin could do anything to those ants at any time, but he would regret it deeply if anything undesirable happened to the young fellow in front of him.
With a flash of thought, Li Xin decided to ignore the Devil God’s followers that were escaping into the distance. Instead, he focused on Ou Yangming completely.
Moreover, he became more careful with his attacks.
Under the situation where Li Xin locked on to his target on a spiritual level, he would not need to bother about the details. However, an incomprehensible change had happened to Ou Yangming, thus even he dared not guarantee that he could capture the young fellow alive by relying on his vision alone.
Once Ou Yangming incited the Blood Flight, even Li Xin would not be able to stop him.
Despite that, Li Xin was terrifying when he went all-out. He kept waving his hands and released blood lines from them.
He seemed to have transformed into a giant spider that kept spitting silk threads to form an extensive spider web for his prey.
Ou Yangming sighed a breath of relief when he noticed this. Blood Shadow had used a similar trick against him in the past, but the spider web ended up being devoured by the giant head, which converted the web into its power. As such, the young fellow was secretly delighted about Li Xin’s attack.
Blood Shadow, who was also in the sky, did not make a move. He floated in the air as if he was keeping an eye on Ou Yangming.
Having said that, he suddenly frowned because he could tell that Li Xin’s blood lines were different from him. Another layer of a stronger power was contained in them.
While he noticed something different, he could not inform Ou Yangming, who was in the fight.
Blood Shadow’s little tricks of releasing his aura throughout the pursuit might be left unnoticed, but if he dared to play any tricks at this time, he would not be able to hide it from his scary partner.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
The peculiar blood lines became more packed as if they could cover the whole mountain.
Li Xin and Ou Yangming seemed to have a tacit understanding at this moment. They kept wasting time in the area until the network was fully formed.
The white-robed elder finally sneered. He thought that Ou Yangming, who had fallen into his Inescapable Trap, would definitely not be able to fly away because the trap could also stop his Blood Flight.
That said, Ou Yangming was also beaming. He wanted to see how the powerhouse would react once he devoured all of the blood lines.
With a flash of thought, the dark illusory figure around him condensed and formed a giant head in a split second. It was not the head’s first time appearing but every time it did, Li Xin and Blood Shadow would be shocked and afraid.
Nonetheless, Li Xin could overcome the feeling very well. After all, his ambition had surpassed his belief, allowing him to release a more forceful power.
“Suck…”
Following Ou Yangming’s roar, the giant head widened its mouth. Subsequently, a horrifying wind was stirred up in the Inescapable Trap.
Next, Ou Yangming’s face changed because he realized that the blood lines were not absorbed by the giant head. They flew everywhere due to the wind, but they were not in disorder as they still maintained the giant bloody net that prevented one from escaping.
Li Xin laughed out loud. “Foo! Since I’m aware that you possess the devouring power, how could I not be prepared?” As he waved his hand, the blood lines drifted slowly and squeezed toward the middle.
As a result, Ou Yangming had a smaller space to move around. He smiled bitterly and thought, ‘I’ve truly underestimated the heroes of the world.’
Li Xin looked proud, but the expression quickly disappeared from his face. ‘I went through all the trouble to capture a little Intermediate Spiritualist, so what’s there to be proud of!’
Just as the blood lines kept closing in, Li Xin suddenly tensed up and looked up at the sky.
The endless white clouds in the void suddenly gathered and transformed into monstrous white claws that were about to grab him…
