Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 741

Inside the secret realm, the drifting figure suddenly flickered. It was Ou Yangming, who had escaped inside out of desperation.

The moment he sensed that the blood lines were going to leave his body, the peculiar head in his sea of consciousness did something unbelievable.

It flew out of his body to devour all of the blood lines around him.

The Devouring attribute's trait was vividly displayed by the fellow.

Nonetheless, although the head gained a huge result, Ou Yangming knew well enough.

The sudden attack allowed him to break through Blood Shadow's containment and shock the Venerable Ones, but to say that he could defeat the Venerable Ones with the giant head would be unrealistic, wishful thinking.

Therefore, once Ou Yangming managed to break free, he immediately made the best decision while Blood Shadow and the 10,000-legged Venerable One were startled.

He turned around and escaped into the secret realm as fast as he could.

The instant he entered the secret realm, he sensed an extremely familiar aura around him.

It was the Wutong Tree. The formidable being, which had lived for several 10,000 years, had gotten in touch with him with its mental conception.

In actuality, there was a mysterious connection between Ou Yangming and the Wutong Tree. Moreover, the tree naturally sensed it when the young fellow used the Subst.i.tution Waist Sash to avoid misfortune.

Despite being incredibly potent, the Wutong Tree was restricted by the secret realm.

Its power could only be used inside the secret realm as it could not leave the realm.

This was why the Wutong Tree could not do anything even when it sensed that Ou Yangming was in danger. It was anxious, but it was helpless.

When Ou Yangming fled into the secret realm by relying on the giant head's power, the Wutong Tree was very much relieved.

It went through so much to meet a powerhouse that possessed a Heavenly Phoenix Fire, hence it must not let anything happen to him no matter what.

“Master, are you well?” A gentle voice with a hint of worry transcended the endless s.p.a.ce to reach Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and answered, “I'm fine, but someone might be pursuing me from behind.”

He could not have been in a better state than he was at the moment.

All of the blood lines had been devoured by the giant head, which also seemed to have the trait of only swallowing things without spitting them out. Nevertheless, the head was born in Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness, after all, so a part of what it gained would always be shared with the young fellow.

Due to the energy surge, Ou Yangming's body had reached its peak state.

The only thing was that he was not sure if the 2 Venerable Ones outside the secret realm would be willing to stop.

“Master, don't worry, leave this to me now,” the Wutong Tree said.

“Woosh…”

All of a sudden, the wind behind Ou Yangming stirred up as a centipede flew in from the entrance.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One—the powerful insect Venerable One—sensed an unusually forceful momentum as soon as it entered the secret realm. Its heart tensed up, and it recalled how Blood Shadow reacted to the realm.

‘Sure enough, there's a supreme powerhouse here.

‘Even so, Ou Yangming's just somewhere in front. No matter who the enemy is, I must kill that young fella first.'

Without making a sound, the 10,000-legged Venerable One's body grew with the wind and expanded by 10 times.

The Venerable One no longer wanted to be merciful anymore. Its ideal plan was to kill the young fellow as soon as possible and go far away from the secret realm.

Ou Yangming looked up from the ground at the 10,000-legged Venerable One, which had suddenly enlarged and was charging down at him with endless killing intent. He seemed to be captivated by the strong momentum, by which he became dazed and could not move an inch.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was delighted. Its body became as majestic as a mountain as it charged down.

Who knew, the ground around Ou Yangming cracked without warning.

A long and enormous root, which was much larger than the 10,000-legged Venerable One, flew out at the spur of the moment.

“Pow…”

The root was similar to a humongous whip, which lashed the Venerable One's body ruthlessly.

Upon sensing the surging energy contained by the root, the 10,000-legged Venerable One's face changed. Blood Shadow's words crossed its mind at that time, where it was told that there was immense danger inside the secret realm.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One finally understood where the danger came from.

It felt a fatal sense of crisis from the root's notable power.

With that, it paused as if it could not be bothered about Ou Yangming, who was right in front of him, anymore. Following that, it turned and flew diagonally in a weird posture.

Given how uncommon and special its body was, it was the only one that could get into such an odd posture.

It was worth noting that even Blood Shadow and the other insect Venerable Ones could not do something like that. This dodge method was also the key reason the 10,000-legged Venerable One could always render meritorious services against tough enemies.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One's body changed in the air and formed an untypical path. It had not only evaded the root's interception and attack, but it had also changed its direction to pounce on Ou Yangming again.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the 10,000-legged Venerable One's power struck Ou Yangming's body hard.

Having said that, it was surprised and furious because it did not feel like it had hit its target.

When its monstrous power hit Ou Yangming, his body instantly turned into endless starlight and vanished.

Instead of Ou Yangming's body in flesh, the 10,000-legged Venerable One had only hit an illusion. However, the illusion was so real that the Venerable One did not notice it as it was in a hurry.

‘How can an illusion of such a level appear on Ou Yamging?'

Before the 10,000-legged Venerable One could figure it out, its back hurt, then its body fell uncontrollably.

The root…

No, this was not the root from before; it was a root that had been hiding underground to emerge when the 10,000-legged Venerable One was distracted.

That said, the new root was not inferior to the previous root at all. When it whipped the 10,000-legged Venerable One, its surging power burst out, causing the Venerable One to be dazed. In particular, the parts of its body that were hit dented right away, so much so that its body sank as well.

Nonetheless, the 10,000-legged Venerable One was a mighty Venerable One, after all. It finally stabilized itself when it was near the ground.

Just as it wanted to soar into the sky again to look for Ou Yangming, who was hiding himself, to warn him, its body froze once more.

This was because the ground beneath the 10,000-legged Venerable One exploded. Tens of roots emerged and constrained it before it could react to the situation.

“Pow, pow, pow…”

Subsequently, about 10 other ma.s.sive roots appeared. They were much more solid than the ones that intertwined around the 10,000-legged Venerable One. Once they came out, they whipped the centipede mercilessly.

Those were fatal attacks as each root's power was almost equivalent to a Venerable One's all-out attack.

Since the 10 over root worked together, they were equivalent to more than 10 equal-ranked powerhouses. They went full force at the same time to strike the 10,000-legged Venerable One's body.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was an exceptionally reputable powerhouse among the Insects, where it could not be fully suppressed by an equal-ranked powerhouse in a one-on-one fight. There were not only many roots at the moment but most importantly, each of them contained power that was not inferior to that of the Venerable One.

Even though the 10,000-legged Venerable One's skin was as tough as metal, it shrieked in pain after being hit by the roots, and its body was covered in blood.

Venerable Ones' bodies were st.u.r.dy, such that ordinary Spiritualists would not be able to leave any mark on them even if they used divine weapons and sharp tools. Nevertheless, the roots did it with ease.

Once, twice, thrice.

The color of the 10,000-legged Venerable One's body kept changing, and it even released dense poisonous gases.

In spite of that, no matter how hard the Venerable One struggled, the roots that seized it could not be moved. The roots were much tougher than it had imagined, so much so that it was starting to feel despair.

It kept releasing powerful poisonous gases, which could force birds to retreat, but they were ineffective against the roots.

As for the thick roots up in the air, they continued to punch the 10,00-legged Venerable One. Furthermore, the ground beneath it cracked without an end as more roots emerged to join the gang fight.

It was an asymmetrical fight. From the moment the roots appeared, the fight's outcome was already set.

The 10,000-legged Venerable One was still struggling after 15 minutes, but it was moving much lesser than it did before. Its body was badly battered, and its strong life force was slowly declining.

After some time again, the roots in the air suddenly gathered in a spot as though they had discussed it.

It took only a split second for 20 over thick roots to a.s.semble into a long whip that was much larger than the 10,000-legged Venerable One.

The long whip then descended from the sky and landed on the Venerable One's body directly.

Consequently, the 10,000-legged Venerable One's head was suddenly lifted. Though its body was being restrained, it was unavoidable.

This was because the whip had caused the Venerable One's body to be split into two.

Instead of stopping, the long whip continued to whip the 10,000-legged Venerable One's body, and it was cooperating with the numerous roots from the ground.

Before long, the Venerable One's body was split into roughly 18 sections, and the sand on the ground was covered in blood.

Far away, a flash of a figure was seen as Ou Yangming came out from his hiding spot. He lamented when he looked at the blood on the ground, the lingering poisonous gases in the air, as well as the 10,000-legged Venerable One, which died a ghastly death.

The Wutong Tree might not be as majestic as Feng Xiang, but ordinary Venerable Ones would not be able to defeat it.
