Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 545: Mad Thunderbolts

Between flickers of light, Ou Yangming suddenly found himself falling into a giant tumbling box.

Yes. Earlier on, he felt like he was traversing steadily. Although his body could not move, he could be transferred from one place to another place. Now, it was entirely different because the young fellow felt like he was traversing in a tumbling box, where he had a thorough experience of the world being turned upside down.

Even with his physical quality, he felt like he could not take it anymore.

Moreover, throughout the process, when Ou Yangming wanted to communicate with Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk, he was shocked to find that he lost connection with them.

How could that be possible?

Ou Yangming and the spirit beasts were connected through soul contracts. As long as he and the beasts were alive, even if they were miles apart, they could sense each other and communicate in silence through a secret technique.

The young fellow had used this ability to summon the spirit beasts many times.

However, he felt like he had lost connection with them at this moment. Most importantly, he could not get to the little red bird too.

The little red bird was a powerhouse from the Phoenixes. It was still young, but it was a part of that race.

As such, Ou Yangming never thought any power in the world could cut off his connection with the little red bird.

Therefore, he finally panicked.

Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and opened his eyes, then he released his mental conception as much as possible.

His mental power was incredibly powerful in the lower realm. Apart from the little red bird, he never encountered anything that could not be solved by his mental power. Having said that, inside the unique and queer space, the young fellow’s mental conception was very much restrained and could not get outside at all.

A thought crossed Ou Yangming’s mind. He figured that his environment was what caused his consciousness to be abnormal.

As long as he broke free from the environment, everything would probably go back to normal.

There was only a yellow figure beside him at the moment. Other than Big Yellow, the others were nowhere to be seen.

Even though Ou Yangming vaguely sensed that something was off, he could not understand what exactly was going on. ‘Did an accident happen when the interspatial passage was being built or was completely built?’

Just as he felt that something just did not add up, his body quivered hard, and an extremely sinister and odd conception came in aggressively to scan him.

‘The Ghost-clawed Venerable One!’

Ou Yangming shouted internally. He would never forget the formidable yet dangerous aura.

The aura did not stay for long as it only lingered for a split second. Besides, Ou Yangming never saw the Ghost-clawed Venerable One in person before this, but anyone that experienced the same thing he did would not forget such a strong enemy.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming could not understand how the Ghost-clawed Venerable One alone could abduct him from so many human Almighty Beings.

Wu Yuanwei told him that 9 Venerable Ones from the Humans would contribute to the establishment of the interspatial passage. Could the 9 Venerable Ones not capture a Ghost-clawed Venerable One?’

Countless thoughts crossed Ou Yangming’s mind at that instant, but he was not going to wait to die. If he was brought to the Ghost-clawed Venerable One just like that, he did not think he could escape. Without any hesitation, the young fellow gritted his teeth and opened his interspatial bag to retrieve every piece of equipment that he prepared.

He only retrieved pieces of Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment, which were meant to resist the Heavenly Thunderbolts.

Ou Yangming had many trump cards, and he also gained 100 over runes from his so-called apprentices lately. Nevertheless, while there were many different runes, he would be lying to himself if he said that they would be helpful during this situation.

He could only lay his hope on 2 paths at this point.

Multi-armed King Kong’s thunderbolt power, and the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness.

If Ou Yangming wanted to use the Military Fire’s power, he must be able to touch his opponent. The young fellow dared not face the Ghost-clawed Venerable One, hence the fire’s power was useless for the time being.

As such, his only hope was to release thunderbolts—the mightiest ones.

Ou Yangming forced himself to shift his body and grabbed Big Yellow, which was rolling not far away from him. He hugged the fellow and shouted, “Big Yellow, resist the thunderbolts!”

Big Yellow gritted its teeth. It was dizzy from rolling around but after hearing Ou Yangming, it immediately opened its mouth to spit out a Thunderbolt-resistant Suit. The suit was smithed by the young fellow for it, and its effect had become better.

Ou Yangming put the suit on Big Yellow efficiently, then he turned his wrist and aimed straight ahead.

He gathered his mind, which did not waver at all though the power around him kept turning him around. Big Yellow knew they were in an unfavorable situation, thus it reached out its paws to hug the young fellow with all its might; it dared not leave him at all.

Forceful mental power gushed into the rune in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, but his face changed because he realized that the rune’s effect seemed to be drastically different from if it was used in the outside world.

Perhaps due to the different space, Ou Yangming’s Thunderbolt Rune could not attract energy from the outside world. Even if he channeled all of his mental power into the rune, he could not cause significant destruction to this place at all. The young fellow did not think that his little power could break the weird yet special environment.

Just as he was feeling rather flustered, the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness moved and unexpectedly entered the rune in his sea of consciousness.

Next, Ou Yangming realized that there was a surge of airflow around the rune.

Feeling elated, he could not be bothered about any possible fearsome consequences, so he simply sent the rune out. Following that, the Thunderbolt Rune finally appeared in the mysterious space, and the power that filled the place gushed madly into the rune.

The rune seemed to have turned into a bottomless hole as enormous energies flowed into it without an end.

Ou Yangming released his mental power with all his mind, and he did his best to control the rune, so it could absorb more energy.

‘Not enough, not enough, still not enough...’

The young fellow’s eyes were widened, and his face looked horrifying. He had released all his mental power, but he somehow had a feeling that the amount of power could not break the powerful space.

All of a sudden, he was struck with an idea. He turned his wrist and retrieved the peculiar stone from his interspatial bag.

The peculiar stone had the same origin as the humongous aerolite at the bottom of the sea, and it could store plenty of mental power. In fact, Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red only managed to fill it after joining hands for 3 days and 3 nights. Now, it was time for it to release the power.

With that, surging power, which was also the purest mental power, was fed back into Ou Yangming.

It was worth noting that the backflow of the power was even more efficient than if he were to recover his mental power using the Devouring attribute. After all, an energy conversion process would be needed if he used the attribute, whereas the power from the peculiar stone could be used directly.

The might of a Thunderbolt Rune depended on the amount of power being channeled into it. Without the stone, Ou Yangming could not guarantee how mighty the rune could be even if he sent all of his mental power into it in one go.

This time, the rune that he gathered contained his and the peculiar stone’s power.

When the energies from the stone were also channeled into the rune, it absorbed so much energy that even Ou Yangming became fearful. He could sense that if the rune was released at him, he probably would not survive even if he wore a full Thunderbolt-resistant Suit.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up because he knew the rune would wreak havoc in the universe if it was released. He was not even confident if he could survive the chaotic situation, but he knew that there would only be one outcome if he did not put up a fight.

He would die if he did not fight and might live or die if he fought. Was he left with any other choice?

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming widened his eyes and roared to vent his unyielding spirit. Concurrently, he turned his wrist to throw out the uncontrollable Thunderbolt Rune.

“Boom—”

The instant he threw the rune, it hit the strange space wall around him.

Subsequently, the entire space shook violently, and purple electric lights quickly filled the space.

The electric lights flickered and grew in power, so much so that they almost became unbelievable.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow shuddered. Without the Thunderbolt-resistant Suits, which reduced the thunderbolts’ harmful powers to a tenth of their original powers, they would have been turned into ashes long ago.

Even so, they would not be able to endure for too long. Their suits began to crack, so they would certainly be doomed if the situation continued.

‘Did I really outsmart myself? Am I going to die here?’ Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.

As soon as he had the thought, a deafening pop was heard. Afterward, his and the big yellow dog’s body sprung up and flew out of the unusual and sealed space.

The potent thunderbolts finally unleashed their powers and left a crack in the place.

As a result, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, which could almost not resist the thunderbolts anymore, were lucky enough to fly out through the crack.

Overflowing thunderbolts powers gushed out through the gap, whereas the space’s auto-recovery ability was activated, allowing the slit to be automatically fixed.

The gigantic yet odd space brought the remaining powers, which resonated with thunderbolts, and continued to fly toward an unknown depth. While its interior suffered an intense attack, its flight path did not change at all.
