Immortal Path to Heaven-Chapter 1268: Time Passed Slowly
“Stupid!” The Horned Dragon King hovered in the air, its eyes filled with an arrogant aura as if it was looking down on the world. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of dragon flames. The bodies of more than 10 powerhouses who could not dodge instantly burned with raging flames.
In just a moment, their bodies vanished into thin air.
The people on the flying boat were even more terrified. This Horned Dragon King was too powerful. Among the powerhouses in the law boundary, there were probably not many who could compare to it.
“All of you will die!” The Horned Dragon King roared again.
Everyone on the flying boat was in despair. Even when several Rulers joined forces, they were still unable to block a single move from this horned dragon.
“Lil’ Horned Dragon, long time no see.”
Just as the Horned Dragon King was about to kill everyone on the flying boat, it suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Who is it?”
The Horned Dragon King turned around and was shocked. Why was there such a large tortoise not far from it?
What kind of tortoise was this?
As a powerful Starry Sky Beast, the Horned Dragon King did not know what kind of tortoise this tortoise was.
It would not have thought that this big fellow, which was even bigger than it and looked ferocious, was a slow tortoise that even mortals in the Spiritual Realm could afford to eat.
Now that the appearance of the Swift Tortoise had changed greatly, not many people would be able to recognize it.
The horned dragon continued to look upward, and it saw the human who had a faint smile on his face.
‘I…
‘How can I be so unlucky!’
The Horned Dragon King’s expression changed greatly. This great world was vast, and the chance of the two people meeting again was one in a trillion. It would never have thought that it would meet Ou Yangming again and under such circumstances.
“Greetings, Elder!” The Horned Dragon King suppressed the panic in its heart.
“What are you doing?” Ou Yangming asked.
“I… I…” The Horned Dragon King stuttered, not knowing how to answer. It could not say that it was robbing the people. There was someone on this flying boat who carried the True Dragon Blood, and that thing was very useful to it as it could give it a chance to evolve into a true dragon.
Ou Yangming chuckled, “How did I warn you a few years ago?”
“Please forgive me, sir, I won’t do it again!”
The Horned Dragon King did not look good, and its subordinates were also panicking. The formidable Horned Dragon King was so respectful to the human.
Needless to say, the people on the flying boat looked at Ou Yangming with fiery eyes as if they saw their savior.
“I remember that I once said that if you were to appear in the Great Wide World again within 500 years, I’d kill you even if I have to go to the ends of the Earth!” Ou Yangming’s expression gradually turned cold, and a killing intent erupted from his body.
The horned dragon was shocked. It had long been on guard against Ou Yangming. When it heard this, it turned around and ran without hesitation.
Ou Yangming did not chase after it. He smiled as he watched the Horned Dragon King run away. He said indifferently, “Time…”
Time passed quickly.
Ou Yangming only uttered two words, and the body of the Horned Dragon King, who was at the peak of the law boundary, was trapped in the air. In everyone’s sight, its body gradually aged, and its originally hard scales began to fall off.
It was only for a moment but it was as if 100,000 years had passed for the Horned Dragon King. It roared in fear, unable to resist the baptism of time. In the end, its body disintegrated and disappeared bit by bit into the river of time.
“It’s over!”
When the cultivators on the flying boat saw this, they were so scared that they fell onto the deck.
The Horned Dragon King, which was at the peak of the law boundary and unrivaled in the millions of stars, died just like that.
Afterward, the subordinates of the Horned Dragon King fled in panic. Ou Yangming did not bother with them and let the Starry Sky Pythons disappear into the void one by one.
“Thank you, sir, for your saving grace!” The humans on the flying boat kneeled on the ground one by one.
“You’re welcome.” Ou Yangming waved his hand, indicating that they did not need to be polite.
“Sir, I’m the steward of the Yangfan Chamber of Commerce. How should I address you, sir? When I go back, I’ll definitely report to the president and ask him to thank you for saving my life,” an old man on the flying boat said respectfully.
“There’s no need to thank me.”
Ou Yangming glanced at the flying boat. The flying boat was badly damaged and could no longer sail. On this flying boat, most of the people were below Rulers, so they could not survive in the void. Not to mention those below Venerable Ones. If they were thrown into the void, they would definitely die.
Venerable Ones could survive but in this vast starry sky, there were many dangers. Any small danger could take their lives.
Ou Yangming took out a flying boat from his interspatial ring and threw it over. “Your flying boat is broken. This is for you. Be careful in the future.”
This flying boat was only a Good Grade one. It was forged by Ou Yangming in Beishan City.
To Ou Yangming, a Good Grade flying boat was no different from trash. It would be a pity to throw them away, so it was also good to give them away.
“A Good Grade flying boat!”
The steward of the Yangfan Chamber of Commerce exclaimed. Their original flying boat was only a Common Grade one. He did not expect that Ou Yangming would give them such a precious thing.
“Sir, you can’t!” The steward did not dare to accept it.
“Take what’s given to you.” Ou Yangming did not continue to talk to them. He moved and returned to the Swift Tortoise.
The Swift Tortoise calculated the direction and planned to move forward again.
“May I know your name, sir?” The Swift Tortoise flew slowly, so the voice of the steward could still be heard from behind.
“Ou Yangming,” Ou Yangming answered. At this moment, the Swift Tortoise’s speed had increased and in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared.
“So fast!” The people on the flying boat looked at the Swift Tortoise’s receding figure and exclaimed.
“Oh right, what was his name?”
“I think it was Ouyang Ming.”
“In the Great Wide World, which force has a powerhouse with the surname Ouyang?”
“I don’t know. The Great Wide World is so big, so how would I know? That said, he must be a warm-hearted and good person. Not only did he save us, but he also gave us a flying boat.”
Hearing everyone’s discussion, suddenly, a Ruler who had fought with the horned dragon earlier had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
“Ouyang Ming? It can’t be that Ming Ruler who has been widely talked about these past few days, right?”
“Yes, Ruler Ming’s name is Ouyang Ming, and rumors have it that he’s very young.”
The few powerhouses hurriedly raised their heads but unfortunately, Ou Yangming had disappeared. With a single sentence, he destroyed the Horned Dragon King earlier. If he was not Ruler Ming, who else could he be?
They had actually met the legendary Ming Ruler, a top-tier third-step supreme expert of the Great Wide World!
That was Ruler Ming, a super expert who had killed his way into the Phoenixes. It was rumored that even the Phoenixes’ great ancestor was no match for him.
“It was Ruler Ming who saved us.”
The powerhouses were all excited as if meeting Ruler Ming was a great honor. The steward of the Yangfan Chamber of Commerce looked at the flying boat in his hand, grinning from ear to ear. This was a treasure that Ruler Ming had given to his Chamber of Commerce. If the news was spread, who would dare to provoke the Yangfan Chamber of Commerce? Even the top-tier chambers of commerce probably would not have the guts to do so.
It was Ruler Ming!
Of course, there were also some people who did not know about Ou Yangming. After all, the news had originated from the Phoenixes. It had not even been a month, and not everyone was so well-informed.
Under the explanation of the people next to them, they were also amazed. The young man who had saved him had such an identity.
“Do you know that horned dragon?” On the Swift Tortoise, Ni Yinghong looked at Ou Yangming and asked.
“I met it once when I first came to the Zhenwu Continent. At that time, I was only in the law boundary, and I even had a fight with it. However, I saw that it had some relationship with the Dragons, so I let it go once and let it seal itself for 500 years. I did not expect it to disregard me.” Ou Yangming recounted the events at that time.
The few people who had come to the Great Wide World for the first time listened with great interest.
“We’ll arrive at the Zhenwu Continent in 2 days.” The Swift Tortoise’s voice was heard.
“Okay, you’ve done well.”
Ou Yangming smiled slightly. This time, it was 2 days earlier than he had expected. The Swift Tortoise’s speed was beyond his imagination.
“Oh right, what was that move that you used just now, Master? It looked cool.”The Swift Tortoise asked.
Ou Yangming smiled and explained, “That was just a simple application of the second step of the law of time. It can be used to achieve a simple time acceleration, causing the enemy’s bodily functions to deteriorate rapidly. It has unexpected benefits in battle. If you want to learn it, you’ll have to comprehend the law of time to the second step.”
“Forget it.” The Swift Tortoise shook its head.
“The law of time is too difficult. I should focus on studying the law of space. I feel that after the power of the law of space reaches the second step, it’ll have a magical ability.”
“Of course.”
Ou Yangming smiled mysteriously. His law of space had reached the second step, so he understood the benefits. However, he did not explain it. The more mysterious he was, the more he could stimulate the motivation of the Swift Tortoise.
The space-time laws were extremely powerful. If Ou Yangming combined the two, they could also evolve into a profound meaning.
It was very difficult to do this. Even with the Enlightenment Pavilion, Ou Yangming could not deduce the power of these 2 laws to the third stage. It was almost impossible to combine them.
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. They were getting closer to the Zhewu Continent.
Ou Yangming felt much more relaxed. After he arrived at the continent, he would settle down Old Craftsman and the others while he would go and explore the mysteries of the Immortal Path to Heaven. Even if he could not change the disaster, he must seize a divine spark and create his kingdom to ensure the safety of the people around him.
This was Ou Yangming’s bottom line. If he could not even seize a divine spark, all his efforts would be in vain.
The disaster was the law of the universe. Beyond the heavenly path of the Great Wide World, even a powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank would not be able to escape, not to mention him, who had not even reached the third step.
“We’re here.” The Zhenwu Continent was in front of them.
That enormous continent had caused the people on the Swift Tortoise to gasp in surprise.
Along the way, they had passed through countless places and saw many planets. That being said, none of them could compare to this massive continent in front of them.
“Let’s go down.”
Ou Yangming patted the Swift Tortoise’s body and signaled it to descend.
It was then when a figure broke through the air from the Zhenwu Continent. He looked miserable as he ran away in a panic.
“Save me!” After seeing Ou Yangming, that person shouted loudly with fear in his eyes.
“You’re courting death!” A clear voice came from the distance. A fiery long spear flew over and quickly pierced into that person’s head.
Like a crushed watermelon, his head exploded with a loud bang. Everything inside was scattered everywhere.
