Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 1238 - Exhort


Chapter 1238: Exhort

After the ninth Dripping Blood Stone was fused, Ou Yangming rested for half a day.

Then, he began to try the tenth Dripping Blood Stone.

This time, the fusion was very crucial. Ou Yangming had to focus all his attention and maintain his body at its peak condition.

“Hiss…”

Another cut was made on his left arm. As more Dripping Blood Stones were absorbed, his skin was as tough as iron. Even if he did not put up any resistance, ordinary magic tools would not be able to pierce through his muscles.

Taking a deep breath and looking at the cut, Ou Yangming then placed the tenth Dripping Blood Stone into his left arm. The Dripping Blood Stone shone with a red light.

After meeting Ou Yangming’s blood, the Dripping Blood Stone began to melt bit by bit. It was a very painful process.

The speed of the Dripping Blood Stone’s melting determined the duration of the pain.

When fusing with the Dripping Blood Stone, there was a rule. The more the stones fused with a certain part of the body, the slower the next stone would fuse, and the longer the pain.

The pain brought by the Dripping Blood Stone increased bit by bit as time passed. The longer the time, the more intense the pain would be, and the higher the probability of failure.

Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and persevered. At this moment, his power of the laws and spiritual power had completely lost their effects. The pain was deep in his bone marrow, and it was a test of a person’s willpower.

This Dripping Blood Stone did not only improve the evolution of one’s body, but it was also very helpful to the improvement of one’s willpower. Nonetheless, this process was too painful.

The tenth fusion was more than twice the pain he had endured during the ninth time. Ou Yangming was powerless, and he felt as if he was about to faint.

Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and persevered. He had to endure it or everything would be for naught. Once he failed, he would experience such pain again unless he gave up on the path of strengthening his body.

‘3 years, only 3 years!’ Ou Yangming roared in his heart.

There were only 3 years left before the Great Wide World was destroyed, and only he knew of this news.

Ou Yangming’s gaze was resolute.

‘I have to endure it. If I can’t even endure this bit of pain, what right do I have to face the top powerhouses of other worlds in the universe after 3 years? What right do I have to fight with them for that slim chance of survival?”

Old Craftsman, Ni Yinghong, Bai Shixue, Wu Hanning, Lil’ Red, Big Yellow, King Kong, the goshawk… All of these figures appeared in his mind.

These were his family, his brothers, and his lover. They all needed him to protect them.

Persevere—he could only persevere.

Other than this, Ou Yangming had no other choice.

The clothes on his body seemed to have been drenched by heavy rain, and the muscles on his face were distorted.

“Ah!” Ou Yangming faced the sky and roared loudly.

His voice spread throughout the forest, shocking some of the fierce beasts into fleeing in panic.

This hysterical roar seemed to have vented all his pain, and the feeling of tens of thousands of arrows piercing through his heart gradually disappeared.

Ou Yangming was paralyzed on the ground, feeling that he had lost his strength. A numbing sensation came from his left arm, but this feeling was very comfortable.

The blood in his body began to flow rapidly. A faint red light shone on his body. This was the prelude to the evolution of his life.

It had taken hundreds of years for the Ancient Devil Warriors to reach this stage from birth. Moreover, they had experienced several failures and many life-threatening crises. However, Ou Yangming only used 2 days.

After a long time, the red light on Ou Yangming’s body gradually dissipated. He slowly stood up and clenched his fist.

He felt that his body was filled with incredible power. Even without using any spiritual power, he could blow up a mountain with one punch.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before. His body had changed, and the power of his left hand was even more astonishing.

Now, even if he lost all his spiritual power and the power of laws, he still possessed the strength of a Venerable One. Furthermore, his endurance was even better than that of an ordinary Venerable One.

Ou Yangming looked at the stars in the sky and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. To him, the Ancient Devil Warrior was merely a starting point.

He wanted to rely on his physical strength and spiritual power to complement each other, and he would use the second-step boundary to resist a third-step conferred Ruler. Being an Ancient Devil Warrior was far from enough. At the very least, he needed to reach the level of a Devil General or even a Devil King.

Nevertheless, after taking the first step, Ou Yangming felt much more at ease. At the very least, there was still hope for the future.

The spiritual power in Ou Yangming’s body circulated, and mists appeared on his body. His originally wet clothes instantly became dry.

After doing all this, he got up and flew into the sky.

The Ancient Shaman Tribe had settled down in this large forest. A large area of the forest had been cut down as many huge wooden houses were built. In the open space in the middle of the tribe, there was a fire burning.

Flames flickered and swayed with the wind.

Seeing Ou Yangming walking over, Du Jian stood up and said, “Master Ou.”

Beside Du Jian were 3 young men from the Ancient Shaman Tribe. They also looked at Ou Yangming curiously.

The dried wood in the flames crackled as Ou Yangming slowly walked over

“Are you sure you want to stay here?” Ou Yangming asked again.

Du Jian understood in his heart that Ou Yangming was worried about them. He replied, “Thank you for your concern, Master Ou. I think this place is alright. It’s quite suitable for the survival of our tribe. I’ve also observed the situation in the vicinity these 2 days. Our tribe can be considered strong here. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem for us to protect ourselves.”

“Okay.” Ou Yangming nodded. He did not dwell on this issue.

The Fallen Land was definitely unusual. Ou Yangming always felt strange in this place. He did not know where this feeling came from.

Despite that, 3 years later, the catastrophe of the Great Wide World would come. It was the same everywhere. If one could not seize the divine spark and open up a divine kingdom, no matter where one was, one would only have the fate of death.

Ou Yangming did not harbor any hopes of luck. Even the Second World with a long history was unable to survive the catastrophe. They were definitely the same.

Fortunately, there was still a glimmer of hope. At least, it gave people a bit of hope.

“Master Ou, do you plan to leave this place?” Du Jian asked in a low voice.

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “I won’t leave the Fallen Land for the time being, but I won’t stay here for long. I plan to go to the cities of the Devil Dwellers to take a look. After I leave from there, I’ll leave this world.”

Since the old man and the others were still in the poisonous pill’s world, Ou Yangming could not stay in this place for long. This place was certainly not suitable for survival. Besides, only in the Zhenwu Continent could he sense the changes in the Great Wide World more directly. Only then could he learn more useful information.

Ou Yangming touched his pocket and took out a Dripping Blood Stone. He looked at the others and asked, “Do you guys know about this thing?”

Du Jian shook his head. He did not know what the stone was. The 3 youths were the same. They had not been here for long and were busy making a living. They could not come into contact with such a good thing as the Dripping Blood Stone.

Ou Yangming explained, “This is a Dripping Blood Stone. It’s a special mineral in this world. It can be used to increase one’s strength. You should’ve seen that Ancient Devil Warrior. His strength isn’t bad. He can be considered top-tier among Venerable Ones. As long as one fuses with 10 of these Dripping Blood Stones, one can evolve into an Ancient Devil Warrior and have the same physical strength as him.”

Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, the others were surprised. How could this small stone have such a powerful ability?

Du Jian did not doubt Ou Yangming’s words. He looked at the Dripping Blood Stone and thought to himself, ‘If we can get more of these stones, won’t everyone in the tribe become as powerful as that Ancient Devil Warrior?’

Seeing their expressions, Ou Yangming continued, “Don’t think too simply. These Dripping Blood Stones are very rare, and they’re very painful to use. It’s difficult for an ordinary person to persevere unless they have strong willpower. I only told you because you’re planning to stay here. This is at least a way to increase your strengths. It might be useful to you.”

“Thank you, Master Ou,” Du Jian said with gratitude.

The news that Ou Yangming had brought was very important. Du Jian and the others were outsiders. If they were to stay in a corner, it would be fine. If they wanted to develop and grow here, it would be impossible for them to rely on his strength alone. Ou Yangming was undoubtedly telling them another way to improve their strengths.

If Ou Yangming did not say it, they did not know when they would discover the secret of this stone. After all, they could not communicate with each other. Even if they had dealings with the Devil Dwellers, they would not know these things.

Ou Yangming nodded and threw the Dripping Blood Stone in his hand to Du Jian. “I only have this one left, but I’ll give it to you. You can choose someone to try it out. The method is very simple. You just need to fuse it into your blood. If you can withstand it, you can focus it on one spot first.”

He did not hesitate to tell Du Jian and the others everything he knew. They had to rely on themselves for everything here. Without Du Xie, the Ancient Shaman Tribe was still in danger.

Du Jian did not stand on ceremony and accepted the Dripping Blood Stone. He knew that this was what Ou Yangming wanted to exhort them before he left.

He swept his gaze across the 3 children and asked, “Which one of you is willing to give it a try?”

Du Sheng and the other young Ancient Shaman looked hesitant. It was too unbelievable for them to merge this stone into their blood.

“I want to give it a try!” Compared to the 2 of them, Du Lingxuan was the first to stand up. He looked at the Dripping Blood Stone in Du Jian’s hand with a determined look in his eyes.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you to try. It just so happens that Master Ou is here as well. If you encounter any danger, Master Ou can also help take care of you.”

Du Jian handed the Dripping Blood Stone to Du Lingxuan, along with a sharp dagger.

Du Lingxuan picked up the dagger and pondered for a moment. Then, he also chose to gently cut his left arm. A wound appeared on his arm, but he did not even frown.

“Quickly put the Dripping Blood Stone in,” Ou Yangming instructed.

Du Lingxuan picked up the Dripping Blood Stone and put it into the wound on his arm. When the stone met his blood, it slowly began to melt.
