Immortal Path to Heaven Novel - Chapter 1033

Chapter 1033: Li Xin’s Wild Ambition

The red light emitted by the young blood-red dragon was eye-catching in the darkness of the night. It kept flashing like red ripples in the sky.

After flying for an unknown time, Ou Yangming felt a powerful summoning power in his mind.

The Devouring Power in his body had become impatient, which made Ou Yangming click his tongue in wonder. Ever since he had obtained this powerful force, it had always been neither hot nor cold, and even a little undisciplined. At this moment, it became anxious.

This strange change made Ou Yangming certain that Li Xin had indeed made a big move.

With this thought, he became even faster like an electric arc that tore space apart.

Empty mountains and fresh rain. The scenery along the way was beautiful, the fog was endless, and the flowers swayed. Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not think about appreciating them.

He became more anxious. He had a bad feeling that if he was late, it would cause unimaginable consequences.

Seeing Ou Yangming’s cold face, even Big Yellow did not dare to speak casually. At this moment, the young fellow’s body seemed to have a fire that could burn everything. Even he did not know where the fire came from, but he was just unhappy.

Wherever he passed, a powerful aura pressed down. The beasts dodge it and dared not get close.

Lil’ Red flapped its wings and asked boldly, “What’s wrong with you?” At this moment, the aura on Ou Yangming’s body was terrifying even for it.

“Nothing.” Ou Yangming nodded lightly, and the violent aura on his body dissipated a lot.

With just a thought, he entered the connection between Heaven and earth.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lil’ Red with a burning gaze, but he still asked the question that was hidden deep in his heart. He questioned, “Do the Dragons have a deep grudge with the Phoenixes?” He had an answer for this, but he was not sure.

“Yes!” Lil’ Red nodded slightly, and the seven-colored feathers on its head fluttered in the wind.

If someone else had asked such a sensitive question, Lil’ Red would have spat out a mouthful of flames without hesitation and burned the person into charcoal. It would have even mocked the person for being so rude.

However, Ou Yangming had the Phoenixes’ bloodline, which was so dense that it had reached an unimaginable level, so the little red bird nodded and said yes.

It flapped its wings and continued, “The resentment comes from our bloodlines. It’s hard to explain.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, “As expected!” After entering the Big Ruins, he had had this speculation, especially in the world below Mount Return Sword. When he saw the Bone Dragon go crazy when he used the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, he became even more certain of his deduction.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…” The sounds of the air breaking were heard.

Ou Yangming and his companions turned into several long arcs and quickly disappeared into the distance.

※※※※

At this moment, at the junction between Danzhou and Zhangzhou, in a very hidden place.

The land was desolate, pitch-black, and deep. Numerous believers of Sky-devouring Devil God had dull eyes, their teeth were chattering, and the corners of their eyes revealed a strange smile. Their noses and mouths were pulled together.

If one looked closely, one could see that the actions, expressions, and even gazes of these believers were the same.

This would be enough to cause one’s heart to tremble.

On the peak of the mountain, a man gazed into the distance. His white clothes fluttered behind him in the wind.

His handsome face was out of place with the scene in front of him. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was his eyes. What kind of eyes were they? They were filled with aggression as if they could devour the void. If anyone saw them, they would think of the words “wild ambition”.

Wild ambition that seemed like he wanted to dominate the world. Who else could the man be if he was not Li Xin?

Li Xin’s fingers caressed a purple sand cup. His feet swayed a little, and half a cup of red liquid swayed along with his hand movements. Upon closer inspection, it was actually half a cup of fresh blood.

He was full of energy, and the injuries on his body had healed. He casually glanced at Blood Shadow beneath him. He raised his right arm slightly and brought the purple sand cup to his mouth. Li Xin’s eyes revealed a look of infatuation as he comfortably drank a mouthful of blood and said sinisterly, “Back then, I told you that if you rebelled again, the next time, I’ll make your life worse than death. Do you believe me now?” Just as he finished, he put down the cup, and the corner of his mouth was red. It was especially fearsome in the dark night.

“Pfft! Sir Devil God won’t let you off. Those who forsook the path, those who forsook the path…” Blood Shadow’s voice was intermittent, hoarse, and dry. His words were full of resentment.

After he finished, he used his last bit of strength to spit at Li Xin.

Nevertheless, he was already exhausted at this moment, and his Qi and blood were both damaged. He was no longer a proud Venerable One. As such, his mouthful of saliva fell powerlessly right after he spat it out. It did not even touch Li Xin at all.

Li Xin’s gaze became even more sinister. He did not even try to dodge it. He said with a smile that was not a smile, “Indeed, the blood of a Venerable One is a healing medicine. I’ve only drunk it a few times, and my injuries have healed. If I drink more, will I be able to advance further?”

“A person who forsook the path!” Blood Shadow’s eyes were blood-red as he gritted his teeth.

“Hahahaha, what is the path? I’m the path!” Li Xin raised his head and looked at the starry sky with a fiery gaze.

He drank all the blood in the purple sand cup in one gulp. His fingers clenched tightly and with a squeeze, the cup instantly turned into powder. He continued, “I once said that I’d become a Buddha if I killed all living beings. I’d use the blood of tens of thousands of believers to open the secret realm and obtain the Devil Master’s inheritance. As long as this is settled, who in the Spiritual Realm can stop me?” As he said that, he began to laugh wildly.

Blood Shadow’s body was covered in densely packed wounds, which were crisscrossing and dripping with blood.

In some spots, ghastly white bones could even be seen, and a decaying aura spread out.

He forcefully exhaled a breath of cold air. With just this slight movement, the wounds on his body were torn. As a result, piercing pain assaulted him as if it could make him faint. Strangely enough, not a single drop of blood flowed out because the wounds on his body had already been specially treated. Just how precious was the blood of a Venerable One? This question was indeed difficult to answer but to Li Xin, who had the ability to devour, it was priceless.

“You’re beyond cure.” Blood Shadow sucked in a breath of cold air.

Li Xin did not mind. He glanced at Blood Shadow proudly and said indifferently, “Do you know why you’re lying on your stomach like a dog while I’m standing here, and you’re living a life worse than death?”

Blood Shadow retorted, “How long can a person who doesn’t even hold on to his beliefs stand so comfortably? That’s not how the path is sought. You’re not seeking the path; you’re being possessed by the devil! Now that your heart for the path has been completely poisoned by the devil’s will, you’re destined to walk further away from the great path in this life. The more you seek, the lesser you’ll get! Just like the sunlight in the morning and the sunset in the evening, they chase each other but can’t touch each other no matter how hard they try. Just like the flowers and leaves of the Flower of Paradise, never to see each other again. You’ve long lost your path, yet you’re talking about achieving the path here. Isn’t it funny?” After he finished, he started laughing loudly.

A ruthless look flashed in Li Xin’s eyes. Like a white lightning bolt, he lowered his center of gravity and directly grabbed the neck of Blood Shadow.

His voice was like ice shards, cold to the bone. “There’s no need for you to lecture me!” His eyes looked mad and countless blood vessels spread out. He looked like a ferocious beast that was about to devour someone.

Even so, Blood Shadow was not afraid at all. His eyes were wide open as he stared at LI Xin. In a muffled voice, he said, “Kill me if you can!”

“Kill you?” Li Xin repeated.

With a squeeze of his fingers, he pulled Blood Shadow from the ground and lifted his legs off the ground.

Following a casual throw from Li Xin, Blood Shadow flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and he crashed into a huge bluestone.

In just an instant, the bluestone collapsed inch by inch. The corner of Li Xin’s mouth curled up, revealing a shocking arc as he sneered. “Die? You’re too naive! I still need to use your soul to set up a trap with the blood of tens of millions of believers to summon the secret realm and enter the Dragons’ world. How can I let you die so easily?”

Early in the morning, the sunlight dispelled the cold air and darkness on the ground at the same time.

A blood light flashed in Li Xin’s eyes. He raised his head and said, “It’s almost time. The overall situation has been completed, and the situation’s clear. It’s time to harvest the wheat…”

As soon as he finished, a bloody mist spread out from his body, and a gloomy aura spread out.

Amidst the bloody mist, Li Xin quickly made a gesture with both hands. Afterward, numerous obscure, complicated, and difficult-to-learn magic skills were cast out.

The mountain range exploded, and the sound of wind and thunder rose one after another.

After a long while, the ground and the mountains shook. A red altar that seemed to have existed since ancient times slowly rose from the ground. The surface was mottled and in the middle of it, there was a 1-meter square pit that was stained with blood, but it had dried up, forming an indescribable color.

Even the sky suddenly became gloomy. Dark clouds covered the sky, silver snakes danced together, and strong winds rolled.

The sound of thunder kept ringing one’s ears, and the color of the sky changed.

“Go!” Li Xin raised its hand and beckoned!

With that, tens of thousands of believers rushed toward the altar as if they were possessed.

Their eyes were cloudy, and they were at a loss. They had no consciousness at all.

After stepping on the altar, their fingers were like knives, and they constantly scratched their bodies. In an instant, their skin and flesh were split open.

Despite that, they seemed to be unaware of it. Especially after seeing fresh blood, they became even crazier.

Their faces were distorted as they tried to grab at their internal organs. Soon, their bodies began to fester.

Fresh blood continued to flow down along the altar, but the square pit seemed to be unable to be filled. No matter how much blood flowed into it, they were absorbed by a mysterious force.

Blood—glaring blood painted half of the sky red.

Li Xin looked mad. He narrowed his eyes, spread his hands, and made a gesture of embracing the blue sky. He took a deep breath.

He said softly, “Blood Shadow, do you see it? I’m about to succeed!”

Blood Shadow did not answer, but the viciousness in his eyes was to the point that it could make one’s hearts palpitate.

1, 2, 3…

More and more people died on the altar. Their deaths were miserable. Their bodies were riddled with holes, and they had all bled to death.

Even when they died, there was still no relief in their eyes. Their souls were bound.

After an unknown period, a torrential rain came as it pleased, as if it wanted to wash away all the filth, sin, injustice, and everything in this world.
