Immortal Path to Heaven Novel - Chapter 1184

Chapter 1184: Calling for Help

A distress signal appeared on Ou Yangming’s white jade token.

The person requesting help was the holder of the 8th jade token. This also meant that the person was a supreme powerhouse in the second step.

Ou Yangming was surprised. ‘What kind of Ancient Demon would cause a human powerhouse in the second step to send out a distress signal?

‘Could it be that he met the Demon King?’

Just as this thought appeared in his mind, Ou Yangming shook his head. If it really was a Demon King, a human powerhouse in the second step might not even have the chance to use his jade token to call for help.

It should be a formidable Ancient Demon in the second step as well.

Ou Yangming thought for a moment and then made a decision.

If he wanted to be ranked first in points, it would be impossible by killing some small fries. Although he had just killed the tiger and gained more than 900 points, making his total points close to 4,000, since he did not know the situation of the others, he was not very confident.

Ou Yangming’s chances would greatly increase if he could kill some Ancient Demons in the second step. After all, Ancient Demons were incredibly powerful. It would be difficult for an equal-ranked human to kill one.

The sky was cloudless. In the sky 500 kilometers away, a human powerhouse dressed in a grey robe fled in a sorry state. Behind him was a large golden eagle.

It was worth noting that the golden eagle was very fast. The grey-robed human had used all his secret techniques to maintain some distance and was lucky to not be caught by the other party.

Along the way, he had sent out many distress signals, but he did not receive any responses.

After all, the Desolate Ancient Ruins was too big. There were only 9 powerhouses in the second step who had entered this place. As for those Rulers or powerhouses in the law boundary, they would hide as far away as possible after seeing this news.

Everyone knew the effects of the jade token. It could receive a request for help, which meant that the other party was not too far away from him. Given that a terrifying monster that could make a second-step powerhouse request for help, of course, the others would avoid it from a distance.

The distance between the man and the demon gradually shortened. The grey-robed man gritted his teeth again. A streak of blood spurted out from the tip of his tongue, and his speed increased again.

It was not that he did not dare to fight with the other party, but he had already tried. He was close to being swallowed by the other party in one bite.

If he was given another chance, he would not kill that small eagle that was only a Venerable One for the sake of those few points. If that did not happen, he would not have been chased so crazily.

The longer it took, the more anxious the grey-robed man became.

“I can’t continue like this. Sooner or later, it’ll catch up to me. At that time, my energy will be damaged, and I’ll have even less strength to resist.”

The grey-robed man was anxious. What he desired the most was for a human powerhouse in the second step to appear. If the 2 of them worked together, they would not have to fear this golden eagle.

This hope was very slim.

There were only a few such powerhouses, and they were scattered in the vast Desolate Ancient Ruins. It would not be easy to meet them. Moreover, even if they met, the other party might not necessarily lend a helping hand.

Human nature was selfish. If one was not familiar with the other, one might even hope that the other would fight to the death with the Ancient Demon before one would come out to take advantage of the situation.

The grey-robed man had no choice. Who asked him to provoke this fiend? Most importantly, he was not the golden eagle’s match.

He gritted his teeth and was about to use a secret technique to escape when he suddenly saw a thin and small figure standing in the void in front of him.

The grey-robed man did not show any joy when he saw this person. He shouted in a deep voice, “Quickly get out of the way!”

The 9 Rulers who entered the Desolate Ancient Ruins were not familiar with each other but given their strengths, it was still very easy to remember a person.

This young fellow was obviously not one of the 9 Rulers in the second step. If he was not even in the second step but came here, was he not courting death?

“Get out of the way?”

A faint smile flashed across the corner of Ou Yangming’s mouth. He had not come all the way here to get out of the way.

‘Stupid!’

Seeing that Ou Yangming did not listen to him, the grey-robed man cursed internally. He increased his speed and prepared to get past the young fellow side. As for whether this person would be dead or alive, he would not care.

At this moment!

A silver long spear suddenly appeared in the young fellow’s hand. His body revealed a powerful aura that surpassed the law boundary.

The grey-robed man was shocked, and he revealed an ecstatic look.

“A powerhouse in the second step of the laws! You’re a powerhouse in the second step of the laws!” The grey-robed man was excited.

He did not know Ou Yangming, he could confirm that the young fellow was undoubtedly a human powerhouse in the second step. As long as it was a human powerhouse, it was the best news for him.

After Ou Yangming displayed his power of laws, the grey-robed man stopped. His feet were in the air, and he held his sword tightly with one hand.

“Brother, give me a hand!”

The grey-robed man looked at Ou Yangming and said.

While the powerhouse in the second step looked very young, the grey-robed man did not dare to underestimate him.

The golden eagle in the distance also stopped. Its eyes were fixed on the grey-robed man. It wished that it could crush that guy into ashes.

Nonetheless, it did not dare to act rashly in front of 2 human powerhouses in the second step.

“I can kill it, but the points will be mine!”

Ou Yangming stared at the giant golden eagle and stated his condition. Given that a human powerhouse in the second step had been chased into a sorry state by it, its points should be at least several thousand.

His points at the moment were only around 4,000. If he took down this golden eagle as well, he might be able to double it.

The grey-robed man asked in a deep voice, “Young brother, only the 2 of us together can kill it. Would it be inappropriate for you to take all the points by yourself?”

“There’s no need for you to take action.” Ou Yangming turned his head and smiled.

“What did you say?” The grey-robed man thought that he had heard wrong. ‘If I don’t do anything, does he think that he could kill this golden eagle with his own strength?’

Others might not know the strength of this golden eagle, but he had a deep understanding of it. This golden eagle could be considered a top existence in the second step of the laws.

The grey-robed man said sternly, “Don’t be careless. The strength of this Ancient Demon isn’t what you think. You’re definitely not his match if you fight alone.”

“How would I know if I don’t try?”

Ou Yangming held the Reincarnation Spear and flew toward the golden eagle. He was planning to take the initiative to attack.

The grey-robed man thought that the young fellow had gone crazy. The 2 of them were powerhouses in the second step, yet the fellow insisted on making a move himself. ‘Are points really more important than his own life?’

As the great elder of the first-class sect, the Seven Stars Pavilion, the grey-robed man had seen many geniuses, but he had never seen someone as conceited as Ou Yangming.

The grey-robed man had originally planned to help but when he thought of the young fellow’s tone just now, he felt a wave of displeasure in his heart. He looked at Ou Yangming’s back and narrowed his eyes.

‘Let him suffer a little first. By then, he’ll beg me to help him.’ The grey-robed man stared at Ou Yangming, thinking about the identity of this young fellow.

Obviously, he was not one of the 9 Rulers.

In other words, he came in with those ordinary Rulers. There were many powerhouses in this world who liked to keep a low profile, so the grey-robed man figured that Ou Yangming was one of them.

Despite that, Ou Yangming did not seem to be low profile at all. The grey-robed man would never have thought that the young fellow only broke through to the second step after entering the Desolate Ancient Ruins.

Ou Yangming had just broken through to the second step, yet he was going to challenge an Ancient Demon that was very formidable even in the second step. Only he had the courage and qualifications to do so.

When the Ancient Golden Eagle Demon saw the young fellow walking over, a dangerous light flashed in its eyes. Its body moved and like a sharp arrow, it rushed toward Ou Yangming.

The golden eagle was also a smart Ancient Demon. It knew that taking advantage of the fact that the 2 humans were not united to defeat one of them was its best choice.

Only then would it have a chance of winning. Otherwise, once the 2 humans joined forces, even it would have no choice but to escape.

It had chased for so long to avenge its son. Now that it had yet to avenge its son, how could it leave this place?

The Ancient Golden Eagle Demon spat out a wind blade. The light green wind blade tore through the air, carrying a dangerous aura. At the same time, it did not stay idle either. Its claws clawed at Ou Yangming’s face.

Ou Yangming was not careless either. The power of the law of Yin and Yang erupted, and the black and white air currents turned into a shield on his body.

The wind blade came quickly and cut a huge hole in the Yin and Yang energies. It only dissipated right before it was about to touch Ou Yangming’s skin.

Soon, the Yin and Yang energies surged again, and the hole that had been cut was restored to its original state.

“That defense method isn’t bad.”

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the grey-robed man, who was watching the battle. This young fellow was a little arrogant, but he still had some special methods.

Just now, the grey-robed man had been tortured to death by the wind blade. He had only blocked it a few times, but it had cost him a lot of energy.

“Path Intent Spear!”

Ou Yangming raised the Reincarnation Spear in his hand, and countless spiritual powers gathered in the long spear. The powers completely burst out, and the powerful force collided with the golden eagle’s claws.

Golden light flashed, and the golden eagle retreated a few kilometers. Its sharp eyes were filled with shock, and the claws in the air could not help but tremble.

Just now, the Ancient Golden Eagle Demon had suffered a hidden loss. It had forgotten that Ou Yangming’s weapon was an Acquired Taoist Tool. Even if the eagle’s claws were the best weapon, there was still a big gap between them and an Acquired Taoist Tool.

An Acquired Taoist Tool was basically the best treasure in the Great Wide World. Even in the ancient era when there were many powerhouses, it was still very rare. From this, one could see how precious it was.

After the Ancient Golden Eagle Demon was at a disadvantage, it did not continue to charge forward. Its eyes were sharp, and it opened its wings and spat out 3 green wind blades.

The Ancient Golden Eagle Demon’s control over the power of the law of wind had reached a profound level. Its strength had far surpassed that of an ordinary Ruler in the second step.

Before long, the 3 wind blades quickly flew over, carrying a sharp edge.

Ou Yangming moved and flew into the sky, narrowly avoiding them.

After the wind blades flew past Ou Yangming, they did not disappear. Instead, they changed direction and once again charged toward his back. It seemed as if they would not give up until they achieved their goal.

“Be careful!”

Seeing that Ou Yangming did not seem to notice, the grey-robed man could not help but remind him loudly.
