Chapter 1317: The First Piece

On the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain, 2 fiery-red phoenixes flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they shot straight into the clouds.

At the same time, all the top-tier experts in the Great Wide World took action. The Dragons, the Mystic Sky Sect, the Northern Blade Sect… As well as those first-rate forces like the Heavenly Star Mansion and the sects within the Seven Stars Pavilion, they all mobilized their powerhouses.

If the opening of the Immortal Path was treated as a game, the threshold of this game would be the second stage. As for those who were weaker, they simply did not have the qualifications to participate. This was destined to be a contest between formidable powerhouses.

In the far north, powerhouses gathered from all directions.

Even those who lived in seclusion deep in the mountains and rarely appeared in 10,000 years had all arrived at this moment.

The Great Wide World was about to disappear. There was no safe place in the vast world, so there was no point in living in seclusion.

Spiritual Qi had begun to wither. Ordinary people might not be able to feel it, but powerhouses like Ou Yangming could feel it clearly.

This speed was not fast. Compared to the destruction cycle of smaller worlds, this cycle was much longer. Bit by bit, the world would be destroyed. According to Chi Ming’s experience in his mind, generally speaking, it would take a whole year for a large world to be completely destroyed. This was a cruel process.

At this time, the aurora dazzled people’s eyes. The Immortal Path had been sealed off. Even the mighty figures of the third step realm could not get close.

The vast and boundless pillar of light shot straight into the clouds, vast and distant.

“Only by obtaining a divine spark and opening up a divine kingdom can one be qualified to enter from within and leave the Great Wide World from the Immortal Path to Heaven to the distant chaos.” The dragon emperor walked over and softly explained to Ou Yangming.

He looked at this young man and nodded slightly.

It had only been a few years since they last met, but the look of youth on Ou Yangming’s face had disappeared. He had become mature and steady. If the dragon emperor had not seen with his own eyes how respectfully everyone treated Ou Yangming, he really could not imagine that this young man from the heart of origins had such terrifying strength.

“The Great Compassion Divine Dragon’s gaze is indeed extraordinary.”

When Ou Yangming went to the Dragons’ headquarters for the first time, the dragon emperor did not pay too much attention to him. He only treated the young fellow politely because of the Great Compassion Divine Dragon’s orders. The reason he changed his attitude was that the young fellow had actually forged an Acquired Taoist Tool and helped him repair the Divine Dragon Mirror.

Only then did the dragon emperor look at Ou Yangming in a new light. At that time, he had also guessed that this young man would be extraordinary in the future. Nonetheless, he never expected that this day would come so quickly. Moreover, Ou Yangming’s achievements had far exceeded his expectations.

A half step to the Heavenly Rank!

This was something that everyone had witnessed with their eyes. Such strength had surpassed the dragon emperor by a lot.

Ou Yangming raised his head and looked at the dragon emperor with a faint smile. “Thank you for informing me.”

“Aren’t you being too polite? You’re an elder of the Dragons, and you’re someone that the Great Compassion Divine Dragon personally requested me to take care of.” The dragon emperor laughed.

In his words, he had become closer to Ou Yangming. This made the other powerhouses around him envious. How could they not have such good luck?

Ou Yangming nodded. He understood what the dragon emperor was thinking, but he did not feel any disgust. Other than the few dragons he killed in the heart of origins, he had a pretty good impression of the other dragons.

Furthermore, there was another important point, which was Senior Bone Dragon.

In the heart of origins, if not for Senior Bone Dragon sacrificing himself to save him, Ou Yangming would have died at the hands of the Nine-sworded Ruler.

Bone Dragon saved him and left the temple, so much so that he lost his precious life.

Ou Yangming had promised Senior Bone Dragon that if he had the ability in the future, he would fight for a chance of survival for the Dragons.

If he got a divine spark, he would certainly reserve some spots for the Dragons. It would be even better if he had the chance to help them take another one.

There was still a chance.

Ou Yangming looked at the Immortal Path ahead and quietly waited for a divine spark to appear.

As time went on, the competition would become more intense. This was something that Ou Yangming was very clear about from Chi Ming’s memories.

This was because as the Great Wide World declined, the interspatial barrier would also become weaker. At that time, the powerhouses from other worlds would be able to enter the Great Wide World effortlessly. They could advance or retreat. Whether in terms of flexibility or combat strength, they were far superior to the powerhouses from the Great Wide World.

Besides, the Heavenly Rank powerhouses would return after 6 months. That would be the most terrifying thing.

One could imagine how difficult it would be to compete with those powerhouses. Therefore, when the 6 divine sparks appeared in the first 6 months, one must gain something!

A flame flashed in the sky, and the dragon emperor’s eyes turned cold. He saw his old opponent.

“The great ancestor of the Phoenixes is here.”

The powerhouses of the Great Wide World greeted each other one by one. There were 2 people from the Phoenixes. One was the great ancestor of the Phoenix clan, and the other was Lil’ Red.

“Lil’ Ming!”Seeing Ou Yangming, Lil’ Red was pleasantly surprised. It had been a long time since he met Ou Yangming.

“Lil’ Ming, I heard that you’re very famous recently. You defeated Ruler Ying, killed 3 Ancient Demons, and even annihilated the Abyss Devils?” Lil’ Red asked.

Ou Yangming smiled and nodded.

“You’re too powerful.” Lil’ Red’s eyes were filled with worship.

“You’re not bad either.” Ou Yangming looked at him and said, “If I’m not wrong, you’ve also broken through to the third step.”

“Yes!” Lil’ Red nodded.

These days, Lil’ Red had been cultivating in secret in the Phoenixes’ headquarters. Since he received the inheritance of the Phoenixes’ Heavenly Rank powerhouse, his cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds. In the end, he easily comprehended the third step of the law of flames and became an almighty powerhouse.

He had originally thought that this way, he would be able to narrow the gap between him and Ou Yangming.

Who knew, the moment he came out of seclusion, he heard about the legends of Ou Yangming.

The 2 of them reminisced about the past, and the others did not disturb them. The human powerhouses were all surprised. They did not expect Ruler Ming to have such a good relationship with the Phoenixes.

More powerhouses came. A few days later, second-step powerhouses flew over one by one.

They also came from thousands of kilometers away but were a step late because they were too slow. The gathering place of the second-step powerhouses was even further away. Their eyes were burning as they looked at Ou Yangming and the others who were tens of thousands of meters away. Those were the peak existences in the Great Wide World.

“Can people in the second step also fuse with divine sparks?” Lil’ Red asked curiously. He had been in closed-door cultivation all this time, so he did not know much about the Immortal Path.

Ou Yangming nodded and explained, “Actually, as long as you master a law, you can do it. The divine spark is extremely mysterious and can forcefully increase one’s strength. No matter who it is, as long as one obtains a divine spark, one can open up a divine kingdom. At that time, one’s strength will be equal to that of a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank

“After opening up a divine kingdom, one can go from this Immortal Path to the chaotic world. After that, one will appear in a safe area. After one has perfectly fused with the divine spark there, one can explore the chaotic world.”

“Lil’ Ming, you know so much.” Lil’ Red’s face was filled with admiration.

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor and the dragon emperor were also slightly surprised. The Immortal Path was very mysterious. Even they did not know where Ou Yangming learned about these.

At this moment, the light from the Immortal Path suddenly became violent.

Ou Yangming’s gaze focused. He knew that a divine spark was about to appear.

Chi Ming had personally witnessed the destruction of the Second World. From his memories, Ou Yangming had obtained a lot of precious knowledge.

The other powerhouses were also excited. There was an unforeseen event on the Immortal Path to Heaven. There was a high possibility that a divine spark was about to appear. The time was about right. The first divine spark was about to appear.

Everyone was not disappointed. With a whooshing sound, a red crystal-like object appeared in the cylindrical light.

“A divine spark is out!” Someone shouted, and many people flew in the direction of the crystal.

“Be careful!” Ou Yangming shouted coldly.

His voice did not attract any attention, especially the powerhouses in the second step. They all rushed toward that direction crazily.

At the spur of the moment, a red light spread out around the divine spark.

Those who rushed to the front had no time to dodge. They were all struck by the red light and turned into nothingness in the air.

“So ruthless!” The others suddenly stopped in their tracks. Only then did they remember Ruler Ming’s warning.

Unfortunately, many people were blinded by benefits and forgot the principle that danger and benefits coexisted.

Just now, more than a dozen powerhouses in the second step realm had died, including an almighty expert of the third step.

Not everyone could resist the temptation of the divine spark. Most people did not have Ou Yangming’s experience or his ability to warn of danger.

Ou Yangming moved and instantly disappeared. In the next second, he appeared next to the divine spark.

Having said that, when he reached out to grab the divine spark, a blinding light struck. His vision blurred, and the divine spark instantly disappeared. Everyone only saw an illusion.

‘So fast!’ The dragon emperor exclaimed internally.

They were not in a hurry to act immediately because they knew that when the divine spark first appeared, it would be almost impossible to subdue it. A divine spark needed a few days of stability. At that time, if they found it again, there would not be too much repulsive force.

‘It ran away?’ Ou Yangming looked into the distance and frowned slightly.

His body moved and chased in the direction where the divine spark had disappeared. The other powerhouses also quickly followed.

After the first divine spark appeared, the next one would only be out in the second month. Their primary goal at the moment was to find the red divine spark just now.

At this time, strength was no longer the decisive factor. Sometimes, luck was even more important. The divine spark flew very fast and could not be locked on. Even Ou Yangming could not catch up to it.

He recalled the memories of the divine spark in his mind.

The red divine spark should be of the fire attribute. The environment where it landed would surely undergo a huge change. As long as he found such a place, he would have a chance to find the divine spark.

With that, the powerhouses of the Great Wide World began to search inch by inch.

The advantages of those sects with countless disciples and subordinates were revealed at this moment.

That being said, Ou Yangming was not worried. He believed that the divine spark would not be found so easily. As long as it was not secretly obtained by others, everything would be fine.

As long as there was a battle, he would be able to rush over immediately.

There were also those powerhouses from the outer realms in the Great Wide World. Ou Yangming still needed to be wary of them.
