Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 1180 - Ancient Python Demon

Chapter 1180: Ancient Python Demon

Ou Yangming never thought that he would meet this person again so soon.
It was the powerhouse of the third step, the Nine-sworded Ruler!
This Ruler of the third step, who had almost killed Ou Yangming twice in the heart of origins, had actually appeared in the Great Wide World and was even planning to enter the Desolate Ancient Ruins.
‘What is he planning to do?’
Ou Yangming did not think that the Nine-sworded Ruler was planning to help the Humans exterminate the Ancient Demons. After all, the force behind that Ruler was scheming against the Great Wide World. The Ruler must have come here with some conspiracy.
‘Should I expose him?’
Ou Yangming frowned and pondered. After a while, he shook his head. If the sect leader of the Mystic Sky Sect had not entered the ruins, there would still be a chance to expose him. The young fellow could not do so at this moment.
The Nine-sworded Ruler was a supreme powerhouse of the third step, and no one outside could stop him for now. If Ou Yangming exposed him at this time, he would also be exposing himself. The Nine-sworded Ruler might kill him first then leave calmly. After all, no one could stop a supreme powerhouse of the third step.
At this moment, the Nine-sworded Ruler’s position was very close to the front. He was standing with a group of Rulers. It was obvious that he had put on a disguise and seemed to have sensed something. He turned to take a look.
Fortunately, Ou Yangming was hiding behind someone even before this. The Nine-sworded Ruler did not think too much about it as it was his turn soon. He walked up and took a jade token before flying into the Desolate Ancient Ruins.
Looking at his disappearing back, Ou Yangming let out a sigh of relief. ‘What a remarkable spiritual sense. I only glanced at him a few times but was almost noticed by him.’
Ou Yangming was in a dilemma.
‘Should I go in or not?’
The Nine-sworded Ruler had already gone in, so it was definitely very dangerous for Ou Yangming to go in. Nonetheless, if he did not go in, he would have no chance at all.
Moreover, Ou Yangming also wanted to know what the Nine-sworded Ruler was up to.
Clenching his teeth, Ou Yangming decided to go in.
Of course, he needed to change a little. The Earth’s Demolition Cauldron could completely hide his aura and not let the Nine-sworded Ruler detect it. As long as he changed his appearance, the possibility of him being discovered was extremely low.
One by one, the powerhouses entered the Desolate Ancient Ruins from the hole. Soon, it was Ou Yangming’s turn.
Ou Yangming went forward and received a jade token. It was number 999, which meant that he was the 999th person to enter this place.
There were some people behind him, but it did not seem like there were many of them. In other words, there were about 1,000 over human powerhouses who entered this place.
More than 1,000 Rulers, as well as 9 supreme powerhouses of the second step. The Mystic Sky Sect’s sect leader even personally took action. Such a huge force was undoubtedly intended to trample the Desolate Ancient Ruins directly and exterminate all the Ancient Demons inside.
After entering the ruins, Ou Yangming looked around.
The grass and trees on the ground were withered and yellow, looking very bleak. This was a small world, and the spiritual Qi was very thin. When the human powerhouses sealed these Ancient Demons, they definitely would not leave any good places for them.
“Everyone probably ends up at a different location.”
Ou Yangming looked around but after waiting for a while, he still did not see any human appear. If they all landed in the same place, the people behind them must have already come in.
The situation in the Desolate Ancient Ruins was not clear for the time being, and Ou Yangming did not release his spiritual sense. Instead, he released Lil’ Red and Big Yellow.
“Lil’ Ming, what’s this place? Have we returned to the Spiritual Realm?”
Lil’ Red sensed the thin spiritual Qi around them and asked.
“This isn’t the Spiritual Realm, but the Desolate Ancient Ruins…” Ou Yangming quickly explained the situation here.
Big Yellow understood. His eyes lit up, and he asked, “Are we here to kill Ancient Demons?”
After he broke through to the law boundary, he had never fought happily. As compared to the Great Wide World, he felt that his life in the lower realm was more exciting.
Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Of course. Not only do we have to kill Ancient Demons, but we also have to kill the most Ancient Demons. Only when we rank first in points can I get the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit.”
“What are we waiting for? Let’s move quickly!” Big Yellow was already impatient.
After changing their appearances, the 3 of them flew in a direction at a low altitude. This was a small world, but its area was very vast. Even the Spiritual Realm might not be able to compare to it.
Ou Yangming and the others flew for half a day, but they still did not meet an Ancient Demon.
Just as Ou Yangming was feeling a little disappointed, Big Yellow picked up the smell of a treasure with his nose. The 3 of them quickly moved forward and found a huge cave.
Ou Yangming had a smile on his face. He found that Big Yellow’s ability was quite useful here. Not only could he find treasures, but he could also find Ancient Demons here.
Where there were treasures, there was a high chance that Ancient Demons would appear, such as this place.
Ou Yangming looked at the cave in front of him. He could feel the aura of an Ancient Demon from inside.
“Come out!”
Ou Yangming held the Reincarnation Spear in his hand and shouted coldly at the ground.
The ground began to shake. A huge python crawled out of the cave. It looked at Ou Yangming with its lantern-like eyes and said in shock.
“A human!”
How could there be a human? They had not seen a human for countless years. Only their ancestors had tasted delicious humans.
“Lil’ snake, are you thinking about eating Lil’ Ming?” Lil’ Red flew to the front, and the blue flames on his body danced.
“A phoenix!” Seeing Lil’ Red, the python’s expression changed.
It felt the powerful aura of the Phoenixes. Afterward, it looked at the big yellow dog on the other side and noticed the surging power of a law from his body.
‘Rulers! They’re all Rulers of the laws.
‘How could there be so many powerhouses from the outside world in the Desolate Ancient Ruins?’ The python did not know what had happened. It did not know about the actions of those Ancient Demons and was not qualified to participate in the whole act.
It originally planned to eat the human but after seeing Lil’ Red and Big Yellow, it only had one thought in its mind, and that was to run as far as possible.
The python turned around and ran, preparing to burrow back into its cave abode. Nevertheless, it did not manage to return. Instead, it directly crashed into the wall.
For some reason, the hole that was originally opened was sealed. Even the sturdy door could not be opened.
Big Yellow’s claws flashed with a faint grey light. He was the one who had attacked just now. As he controlled the power of earth-mastery laws, it was simply too easy for him to trap an Ancient Demon that was a Venerable One.
The Ancient Python Demon was knocked into a mess. It finally regained its senses. When it was about to escape again, it realized that it was blocked by the surrounding walls. It knocked a few times, but the walls did not move at all. They were as solid as steel.
A disdainful smile flashed on the corner of Big Yellow’s mouth. “Don’t waste your energy. You can’t escape from me at all.”
The Ancient Python Demon obviously would not accept its fate like this. Its desire to survive made it fly into the sky once again. Despite that, before it could reach the height of the wall, a layer of flames appeared above it. Before it even got close, the Ancient Python Demon felt a suffocating heat.
It had a feeling that if it forcefully flew out of the sky, it would not even have bones left. The flames were too terrifying.
The Ancient Python Demon was in despair.
‘So many powerhouses of the laws are going against me when I’m only a Venerable One. Aren’t they too much of a bully?’
“Answer a few questions.” Ou Yangming stepped on the flames in the air and asked with a smile.
Since the Ancient Python Demon could not sense Ou Yangming’s aura, it thought that the human was not very powerful. Now that it saw the young fellow stepping on the flames that it did not dare to touch, it felt that it wanted to kill itself.
“I can answer your questions, but you have to let me go.” The python raised its head and negotiated with Ou Yangming.
“No.” Ou Yangming rejected it without thinking. From the moment the Ancient Demon wanted to kill him, he had no intention of letting it go. Furthermore, regardless of the python’s level, it was still useful to him. To the young fellow, the Venerable One could be exchanged for points.
The Ancient Demon was furious. “If you won’t let me go, why should I answer your questions?”
It turned its head and looked to the other side.
Ou Yangming did not care at all. He said indifferently, “You have to think carefully. Death can also be very different. Do you plan to die without suffering, or do you plan to be tortured by the Phoenix Fire for 3 to 5 years then be imprisoned in the darkness forever?”
The Ancient Python Demon was moved. It looked at Ou Yangming angrily. He was the butcher, and it could only compromise. Death was not scary. It was only afraid of the horrifying way of death that the young fellow had said.
Ou Yangming asked, “Where’s the most powerful Ancient Demon near you?”
The python answered in a low voice, “The most powerful Ancient Demons around here are the 3 tiger kings in the Tiger Leaping Gorge. They’re all in the law boundary. No one dares to provoke them when they unite.”
“Where’s the Tiger Leaping Gorge?” Ou Yangming asked again.
The python did not dare to hesitate and answered hurriedly, “It’s 200 kilometers to the west. You can see it when you go there.”
“Okay, you can die now.”
Ou Yangming gave a look to Big Yellow. The surrounding walls began to shrink rapidly. The huge python could not bear the huge pressure and was crushed to death.
The surrounding walls then went away, and Ou Yangming jumped down from the sky. He took out a jade token and placed it on the python’s body. The python’s body flashed with a red light, and the light entered the jade token.
Ou Yangming used his mental power to probe slightly, and the number on the jade token changed from 0 to 7. This python that was only a Venerable One was only worth 7 points.
At the same time…
A golden wall appeared above the governor’s mansion of Zhongzhou. There were many jade tokens on the wall. In an inconspicuous corner, the number on a jade token changed.
Tens of thousands of people gathered at the bottom of the wall. Each of them witnessed the human powerhouses slaughtering the Ancient Demons according to the numbers on the wall.
The numbers on the wall were clear at a glance. Whoever ranked higher or lower was clear to see by everyone.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, a jade token on the golden wall exploded, and shattered jade bits scattered all over the ground. Everyone’s hearts sank. They all understood that another human powerhouse had fallen.
