Immortal Path to Heaven Novel - Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035: Suppress

The heavy rain was like a curtain of beads hanging between Heaven and Earth, connecting into one.

Ou Yangming glanced at King Kong with a free and easy gaze and responded softly, “There’s no need for that. I’d like to see if I don’t want to hand over the Heavenly Phoenix Fire and the Devouring Power, who can take them away?” His voice sounded calm and peaceful, but his words were as heavy as a mountain and seemed to be able to smash the ground into a deep pit.

In actuality, the heaviness did not come from the words, but the person who spoke. This was because the person was a Venerable One, one who passed 9 Heavenly Thunderbolts.

He was Ou Yangming, and he had the powers of the Dragons and the Phoenixes. A word from him could be the law of the world.

Lil’ Red chirped non-stop and flapped its wings in the air.

In an instant, the bead curtain formed by the raindrops within 33 meters was peeled off inch by inch like silk being peeled off a cocoon. It turned into white mists that spread out.

The little red bird called out arrogantly and praised, “Yes, that’s my clansman! One should be arrogant and never lower one’s head. Even if one stands in front of the Wanzhang Precipice, one should be unafraid of Heaven and Earth!”

When Li Xin heard this, he ignored space and instantly locked his eyes on Lil’ Red. He seemed to have thought of something, and he proceeded to lick his lips.

As for Ou Yangming, although his aura was strong, he was only a newly advanced Venerable One. As such, Li Xin was not overly cautious against him.

With a flash of thought, his Qi was as smooth as one. His aura was triggered but not released. It was hidden deep in his flesh and blood, and his control over every muscle was exquisite to the point that it was down to every detail. One could imagine that once the hidden power burst out, it would certainly be earth-shattering and shocking.

At the same time, he lifted his foot and pounced toward Ou Yang Ming like a roc pouncing on its prey. His center of gravity was lowered, and he was unpredictable. A circle of blood light was wrapped around his fist. He punched out, but the air around his fist did not even ripple.

This punch seemed ordinary, but its power was as strong as the sea.

When one became a top-grade Venerable One, every attack could be said to be spontaneous. Whether it was round or square, curved or straight, it all depended on one’s thoughts. Moreover, every attack would contain the universe’s power, and their complexity would reduce. Nonetheless, the more it was like this, the more power was hidden in the fist, and the more dangerous it was. With one careless move, one would be attacked continuously like surging waves.

Ou Yangming seemed indifferent before, but it was only a trick to attack Li Xin’s mind.

His hands moved extremely fast, and he did not dare to be careless. His center of gravity swayed like mercury, and his stance was opened up as he got into a defensive Taichi stance.

“Pow…” Ou Yangming took half a step back, and his wrist moved like a water snake as he channeled force into his palm. He used the force to push outward.

Even so, Li Xin had had numerous life-or-death battles in his life, so how rich was his combat experience?

He changed from pouncing to being entangled with Ou Yangming, and he moved up along with his arm. The two countered each other’s moves. The atmosphere was not majestic, and their moves were simple.

It was as if the people fighting in the sky were not Venerable Ones at the top of the pyramid, but ordinary martial artists.

If one wanted to talk about the principles of the world, they could not escape from the words “back to basics” and “greatness came from simplicity”. These 2 top-notch powerhouses of the Spiritual Realm clearly understood the profound mysteries within. Their moves were simple, but there were killing intents hidden within.

The goshawk looked at the 2 figures in the sky that were fighting non-stop and asked softly, “King Kong, why isn’t the battle between Master and that Venerable interesting at all?” It was only a top-grade spirit beast at the moment. While it was considered a powerhouse in the Spiritual Realm, it was still far from Ou Yangming and Li Xin.

“King Kong?” Seeing that the mountainous spirit beast did not answer, the goshawk asked again.

After a full 10 breaths, the king kong regained his senses, and its eyes were full of fear. It shook off the rain on his body and responded, “Master’s still testing… But the power within!” It paused, its face full of shock, and its face trembled slightly.

Big Yellow and the goshawk suddenly focused on the king kong, waiting for it to continue.

“Even if I activate my Bloodline Power, I won’t be able to block 10 moves…” King Kong noted.

Big Yellow and the goshawk exchanged a look, and their minds rumbled. This was only a test. If Ou Yangming were to unleash his full power, how powerful would he be?

Furthermore, the 3 beasts had been together for a very long time. They clearly knew what level Multi-armed King Kong’s strength had reached. The more they thought about it, the more they felt a chill in their hearts. Even Lil’ Red’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

In the sky, Ou Yangming took a side step and slid backward. His body flashed as if he had teleported.

His right hand turned into a palm, which then turned into a palm blade that was slashed toward Li Xin’s back. At the same time, he used his left elbow to strike outward. The timing was great. It was the time when Li Xin adjusted his Qi momentum, so he was caught unprepared.

The more Li Xin fought, the more frightened he became. He thought to himself, ‘This young fella can’t be measured by common sense. His control over the rhythm of the battle and grasp of the timing are meticulous and difficult to describe. He’s able to fight against the strong and suppress with an overbearing and peerless posture, so as to avoid any future troubles.’ With this thought, the spiritual Qi in his Dantian Lake boiled and circulated throughout his body. A red pattern instantly lit up, and he twisted his body at an unbelievable angle. His body turned, and his right hand moved out at lightning speed.

Ou Yangming’s palm blade was thrown out, and his left hand moved down along his body to block the elbow strike.

“Boom…” The Qi momentum and spiritual power collided, and the sound of bells and drums reverberated in all directions.

The raindrops within 333 meters of the two of them hung in the air and finally exploded.

They turned into white mists and swept in all directions. Wherever the airwaves passed, the ground rapidly sank. The creatures within the range could not even scream in pain and instantly collapsed.

From afar, it looked like a balloon filled with mists suddenly exploded, causing all life to be extinguished.

This was the battle prowess of the peak figures in the Spiritual Realm. Once they burst out, they would shake the world.

The goshawk sucked in a breath of cold air and asked in a trembling voice, “That was just from a collision of Qi?”

“Yes, it was just a test before. The real battle has only just begun,” King Kong replied. As it spoke, it looked at the sky without blinking.

Big Yellow closed its mouth and sighed internally. ‘The distance between me and Lil’ Ming is getting farther and farther. Do I really have a chance to catch up to him?’ At this moment, its heart was filled with a deep sense of loss.

The Qi momentums of Ou Yangming and Li Xin had long been entangled together and kept colliding in the rain.

If they wanted to forcefully withdraw themselves at this time, they would have to pay a heavy price. Therefore, they could only continue to fight in this space. Besides, they did not want to withdraw themselves anyway. They could only fight.

‘Why should cultivators of our generation be afraid of a fight?’

In a flash, Ou Yangming’s eyes looked ruthless. He used his shoulder to hit Li Xin, who only punched his forehead.

Li Xin had once used the power of a Venerable One to withstand the East Sea’s tide, and he was unmoved and unharmed. On the other hand, under this impact, his body slid backward, and he flew back 100 to 133 meters.

Ou Yangming also did not feel good. He was hit in the forehead and the spot between his eyebrows, and his feet stepped on the void, crossing each other. He still maintained the posture of riding the wind, but the distance of his retreat was roughly the same as Li Xin’s.

Their Qi momentums intertwined deeper, and they charged forward again.

Ou Yangming visualized a sea tide in his spiritual world. The winds from his fists were cold and majestic. They carried the momentum of a river surging into the sea. Every punch was heavier than the last.

It was like a raging wave hitting the shore. The more he hit, the heavier his attacks became. The more he hit, the more anxious he became.

Despite that, Li Xin was not afraid. The winds from his fists were like rain. They came together and rolled over.

The word “roll” was used because the winds from his fists were truly endless.

“Boom…” There was another roar from the sky. It shook everyone’s ears and resounded in the world.

The winds from the fists collided with each other in the sky, and a terrifying aura pressed down.

When the strong winds collided, there was actually a sense of stalemate.

Ou Yangming visualized the will of the tide. The winds from his fists emphasized that the more he fought, the stronger they would become. Their invincible aura piled up and became stronger as it charged higher. In the end, it could break through the heavens and see the blue sky.

As for Li Xin, he emphasized the word “roll”. His attacks were entangled like the rain, full of changes and had countless variations.

For a moment, Ou Yangming and Li Xin were evenly matched.

Having said that, after 10 breaths, Li Xin’s “rolled” technique paled in comparison because Ou Yangming’s punches emphasized the meaning of “stacking”. This was similar to the Big Avalanche. As for Li Xin’s heavy punches, they were meant to roll and change. However, when faced with the young fellow’s unreasonable moves, even if he tried his best, he would not be able to display the power. Eventually, he was showing signs of collapsing.

After 3 breaths, Li Xin’s fist winds collapsed.

Would Ou Yangming let go of such an opportunity? Of course not!

His body swelled up like a rubber ball. He chased after Li Xin and threw a punch.

Li Xin cried out in his heart. His reaction was also incredibly fast. He raised both his hands at the same time and blocked the attack. He barely managed to block the tricky punch.

Ou Yangming’s punch was blocked. Not only was he not discouraged, but the light in his eyes was even brighter. He had suppressed Li Xin’s aura in the previous exchange. Now was the best time for him to attack.

He used the momentum to rebound. He turned around and drew a stunning circular arc. With a slip of his feet, the second and third punches followed.

Li Xin’s expression was no longer as casual as before. Instead, he became very solemn.

In the Spiritual Realm, he had only met 2 opponents of this level. One was the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, and Ou Yangming was the second. Both of his hands blasted outward at the same time, and they flung upward from the bottom like windmills that had been spun round.

When the fists collided, the powerful force shattered Li Xin’s palm.

Ou Yangming, who had honed himself on the edge of life and death many times, naturally knew that once he had the upper hand, he could suppress others with his imposing manner. The young fellow could not stop, nor could he rest. One punch after another, they were fast and urgent, airtight and seamless. The Qi momentum was endless, and the punches were completed in one breath.

Every punch made Li Xin feel bitter and indescribable.

The more he fought, the more shocked he became. Especially the physical strength that Ou Yangming had displayed, it had reached an unimaginable level.

After overcoming 9 Heavenly Thunderbolts and tempering the impurities in his blood, flesh, and meridians, every cell in Ou Yangming’s body was tough. He had a feeling that he had formed his own world. It could be said that in terms of physical strength alone, even a top-grade Venerable One was insignificant as compared to him. That was why the young fellow chose to fight Li Xin in close combat. He relied on the power of his physical body.

‘I can’t go on like this…’ Li Xin thought to himself.

Blood flashed in his eyes, and his Qi burst forth. He raised his right hand and clashed twice.

Who knew, it was then when Ou Yangming suddenly changed his move and turned his fist into a palm. This time, the change was not only fast, but also ruthless. It was both unexpected and within reason, but it was impossible to guard against. Sometimes, fights were like this. The real and the fake were unpredictable.

Ou Yangming’s fingers closed like a long knife that could pierce through the sky, he went straight for Li Xin’s throat.
