Immortal Path to Heaven-Chapter 1315: A World Has Fallen
The Dongchen Small World.
At this moment, outside the world, more than 10 third-step powerhouses had gathered.
“How is it?” The Northern Blade Ruler looked at the Mystic Sky Sect Master who had put down the Voice Transmission Talisman and asked.
Mystic Sky withdrew the talisman and said, “Ruler Ming said that he’ll come soon.”
Hearing that Ruler Ming was coming, all the powerhouses present became serious.
Ruler Ming! This name was probably known by everyone.
Breaking into the Phoenixes’ headquarters, defeating Ruler Ying, slaying the Demon King, exterminating the Devil Ruler…
Any one of these battle results was well-known. Perhaps some of these powerhouses would never be able to accomplish even one of them in their entire lives.
“Ruler Ming’s talent is unrivaled. I’m afraid only Ruler Ying, who seems to come from another world, can compare,” another Ruler exclaimed.
“It’s just a pity that he was born at the wrong time. If it weren’t for this calamity, the Humans will have another Heavenly Rank powerhouse in the future. What a pity…”
“Haha, Old Mo, you’re worrying too much. With Ruler Ming’s strength, there’s still a high chance of him obtaining a divine spark to open his divine kingdom. The ones who should be worried should be us.” The one who spoke was Ruler Shanhai. He had met Ou Yangming once on the Shanhai Continent, and he had personally witnessed how fearsome the young fellow was.
Such a powerhouse had surpassed all third-step experts. If even he had no hope, then there was no need to mention the others.
“Not necessarily. Ruler Ming is powerful, but he doesn’t have any loyal forces. He’s definitely not good at finding divine sparks. If I were him, I wouldn’t exterminate those Abyss Devils. Instead, I’d control them and let those devils serve me when the great calamity arrives.” The person who spoke was Ruler Damo.
“Well, Ruler Ming might have other plans. Besides, those Abyss Devils took advantage of the situation and killed so many humans. They deserved to die,” Ruler Shanhai said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, the space moved, and everyone was shocked. Everyone looked over, and a youth appeared in the air.
“Greetings, Ruler Ming.” Ruler Shanhai had a smile on his face, and he was the first to bow.
The others also greeted the young fellow politely.
They were shocked because Ruler Ming was too fast. It had only been a short while since the voice transmission, and yet he was already here. Could he have been nearby?
“Ruler Ming, you’re here.” Mystic Sky smiled faintly.
Ou Yangming nodded and returned their greetings. These were all top-notch mighty figures of the Humans in the Great Wide World.
“That’s the Dongchen Small World?” Ou Yangming looked at the small world in front of him and asked.
He could see through the size of this small world with a single glance. It was much larger than the Spiritual Realm, but it had begun to rapidly decline.
This decline was all-encompassing. The spiritual Qi of the world had withered. Ou Yangming could not feel much of it at the moment. All of the spiritual veins had dried up.
This was still fine. If the spiritual veins were gone, it would be fine as long as one did not cultivate. It would not be a big deal for one to be an ordinary person and live peacefully for 100 years.
Nonetheless, it was not as simple as just the spiritual veins withering in the Dongchen Small World. The air that provided people living here was also gradually disappearing. This was undoubtedly fatal.
The disappearance of air was the same as the starry sky. Those below Venerable Ones could not survive in the starry sky.
Of course, the living beings in the small world might not be able to wait for the air to disappear because their life forces were also rapidly depleting along with the decline of the world.
Once their life forces were exhausted, the outcome could be imagined.
The whole world was filled with the fear of doomsday.
Some people had their hair turned white overnight. A young girl who was originally young and energetic turned into a stooped old woman the next day.
The plants were also withering. Not a single green leaf could be seen in the world. The tree trunks had lost their moisture and were like dry firewood. Flames were burning everywhere, and the places in the world were shrouded in pungent smoke.
“We only discovered this place yesterday. When we found this place, it had decayed for 2 days. A world has at most 3 days of life. In other words, this world will fall in 5 days.” Mystic Sky looked at the world in front of him. He walked over and spoke to Ou Yangming.
5 days, just 5 days!
A small world would be destroyed just like that. The hundreds of billions of humans and trillions of gods in the world would all vanish into thin air.
This was a cruel world. Even if the people present were all top-notch powerhouses in the Great Wide World, they could only watch as this world perished.
Ou Yangming took a step forward and stepped into the small world.
The Rulers wanted to say something but seeing that Ou Yangming had entered, they forgot about it.
They were all powerhouses in the third step. If they entered the small world and displayed their strength, it would be very easy to cause the world to collapse. Furthermore, this world was already at the most critical juncture.
Despite that, thinking back, this world only had 3 days of life left at most. It would not make any difference whether it was earlier or later.
Ou Yangming entered, but it did not cause any changes to the world.
Seeing that Ou Yangming’s body was covered in a layer of golden light, the almighty powerhouses outside the world were all dumbstruck.
“I’m not seeing things, right? Is that a profound meaning’s power?” The Northern Blade Ruler said in shock.
Mystic Sky’s eyes were filled with excitement as well. “That’s right, it’s a profound meaning, and it’s the profound meaning of order. Ruler Ming used Heaven’s Domain. No wonder he entered the small world fearlessly.”
A profound meaning represented being equal to heaven. There was not much difference between being a half step to the Heavenly Rank and the Heavenly Path. As long as one mastered a profound meaning, they would basically be outside the Heavenly Path.
They would not be affected by karma or dust.
“During the last battle in the Mystic Sky Sect, Ruler Ming was only in the third step. I didn’t expect him to improve so quickly.” Mystic Sky was shocked.
Everyone had different expressions. Originally, even if Ou Yangming was powerful, he was at the same level as them. Now, they knew that he had long left them far behind.
Unknowingly, he had reached the Emperor realm.
“Sir, save us.” Looking at Ou Yangming who was flying in the air, everyone in the small world hurriedly called for help.
Now that the world’s spiritual Qi had disappeared, they would save as much as they could. At this time, one who dared to use spiritual Qi to fly was definitely a Venerable One. A Venerable One could leave this small world.
Cursing, crying, and calling for help. Ou Yangming had heard countless voices along the way.
He came to a thatched cottage and lifted a crying child on the ground. Not far away, a woman who lay on the ground, whose breath was barely discernible, finally closed her eyes.
Women were originally weak. As mothers, they were strong.
She held on to her last breath because she could not let go of her child.
Now that Ou Yangming was carrying her child, she finally put down the burden and was relieved from the pain.
Ou Yangming slightly circulated his spiritual Qi and nursed the child’s body.
He felt a little helpless. If he had come a few days earlier and used the poisonous pill’s world to take them away when the world first changed, he might have been able to save some people.
Now, it was too late.
More than half of everyone’s life force had been extracted. Ou Yangming could save one or two of them, or even 10,000. Even so, there were too many people in this world. Even if there were 100,000 of them, which was not even one in a million, he could not save so many people. Additionally, this was only the first world.
The rules could not be reversed. They were just a step ahead.
Along the way, Ou Yangming had taken more than 300 children with the poisonous pill. These children were all placed in the poisonous pill’s world.
There was plenty of spiritual Qi there, and with the help of the small fish’s spiritual vein, there would not be any problems.
Ou Yangming’s actions in the small world could be seen clearly from the outside.
Everyone nodded their heads.
“Ruler Ming is kind-hearted. It’s a blessing for this world to have such a powerhouse in the Great Wide World.”
“If it wasn’t for Ruler Ming, who knows how many planets would’ve been destroyed in the Devil Region.”
The powerhouses who were watching Ou Yangming sighed.
“It’s a pity that even a Heavenly Rank powerhouse can’t save this world. We’re known as powerful experts but in the face of this calamity, we can’t even protect ourselves.”
Everyone sighed in their hearts. Ou Yangming also returned to the outside world.
The next day.
At this point, the spiritual Qi in the world had completely disappeared. The flames had spread to a third of the world.
On the third day, more than half of the humans in the Dongchen Small World had died. Those spirit beasts and wild beasts could not escape their bad luck either.
On the fourth day, the world quieted down, turning into a dead planet. The planet was empty without any signs of life.
Everything returned to calmness as if the world returned to one that had not been developed.
Everyone’s hearts were heavy. They all understood that this small world was just the beginning.
This place was like a miniature of the Great Wide World. Perhaps in the future, the Great Wide World would also face such a disaster. At that time, no one would be able to escape. Unless one could surpass this world and become a mighty figure equal to heaven to seek refuge in the chaos.
There was still one more chance, and that was to seize that slim chance of survival on the Immortal Path.
The Great Wide World was so vast. Even if each divine spark could take away 100 people, how many could they take away in total?
This number was so small that it could be ignored.
It was like a tiny straw in the middle of the vast mountains, with a strand of fur that could not be seen by the naked eye.
Furthermore, there were so many powerhouses from other worlds fighting over the divine sparks, which undoubtedly made it more difficult.
The world was beginning to be destroyed, which meant that the Immortal Path to Heaven was about to appear.
Ou Yangming turned to look at everyone and said, “I’ll take my leave first. If there’s any news about the opening of the Immortal Path to Heaven, please tell me right away. There’ll be a great reward in the future.”
He emphasized the word “great reward” very heavily.
Everyone understood Ou Yangming’s meaning in their hearts, and they quickly understood.
Ruler Ming was telling them that if they were to provide important information, they might be one of those who could enter his divine kingdom. This was a great thing. In the entire Great Wide World, who had a better chance of obtaining a divine spark than Ou Yangming? How could cooperating with others be more secure than working with Ruler Ming, who was a half step to the Heavenly Rank and controlled a domain?
Everyone hurriedly saluted and said respectfully, “Sir, don’t worry. We’re always paying attention to the changes in the Great Wide World. If there are any changes, we’ll tell you immediately.”
Ou Yangming’s mood was a little heavy. He told them his voice transmission method and teleported away again.
