Chapter 1093: Old Institutions Die Hard

The world collapsed, and space shattered.

“Explode!” Ou Yangming uttered coldly when the exploding arrow was 33 meters away from Long Chen.

Long Chen dared to threaten him with the people related to him, hence he had to die. A dragon had inverse scales and would be furious if anyone touched them. Ou Yangming’s inverse scales were his close ones. As long as someone thought about harming his close ones, no matter how high or low the person’s status was, he would not be merciful. He would not hesitate to slaughter gods and kill immortals, and he would kill those who had such a thought.

This was Ou Yangming. He would do anything for his close ones.

As his voice echoed, the explosive arrow seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force. It turned red, and a violent force spread out.

Big Yellow and Lil’ Red quickly took out their Life-saving Suits. They looked at Long Chen with pity in their eyes.

“Rumble...” The entire space began to collapse, and seven-colored light scattered in all directions.

Long Chen gritted his teeth, and his muscular body shrank, looking more solid. At the same time, he tapped his interspatial bag and took out a large bell, enveloping himself within it.

This large bell was 10 meters tall, and it was engraved with mysterious characters. Every stroke looked like it had been left behind by a god or a demon, especially since there was a layer of black light around the outside of the bell. It looked shocking.

Nonetheless, under the destructive power of the exploding arrow, the light screen only lasted for 2 breaths before it shattered.

All of a sudden, the mysterious characters on the bell emitted a black light and blocked the destructive power outside.

Ou Yangming let out a soft exclamation. He looked surprised, and he thought to himself, ‘That’s a magic weapon that surpasses the Ancient Dragon Shield’.

It was very easy to come to this conclusion. One had to know that back then, the Ancient Dragon Shield had collapsed when the Ruler self-exploded, but this bell forcibly blocked an equivalent power. It was evident that this bell was much stronger than the Dragon Shield.

When Ou Yangming saw this, though he was surprised, it did not stop him from adding insult to injury.

His left hand and right hand were joined together. His index finger and middle finger interlocked, forming a mysterious gesture. Without warning, he pushed forward, and Taotie’s Devouring Power came out of his Dantian Lake, directly landing on the big bell. The Devouring Power burst out, and the words on the bell instantly dimmed as if they had lost their charm.

“No—” The cry was shrill and full of resentment. It came from the inside of the big bell.

Without the support of the mysterious characters, the big bell was torn apart by the storm in an instant.

Long Chen’s eyes were filled with madness. His body quickly collapsed, and his eyes were filled with despair. If eyes could kill, Ou Yangming would have died numerous times.

With a booming sound, Long Chen’s body collapsed.

After about 8 minutes, the world returned to peace. The mountains and rivers within 50 kilometers shattered, and life was extinguished.

Even the thunder pool not far away became a little dim.

A look of shock appeared in Lil’ Red’s eyes. The last time he used the explosive arrow was at the bottom of the sea, so he did not have a clear feeling. This time, on the ground, he clearly knew how great the weapons he had in his hands were. They could destroy the world.

The fur on Big Yellow’s face was knitted together. When he thought about how he would be able to obtain explosive arrows after this mission ended, he felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

Such treasures could be considered life-saving items. Naturally, the more one had, the better. Nobody would complain about having too many of them.

Ou Yangming looked at everything in front of him and felt that it was unreal.

He cursed internally, ‘This can’t be. Judging from his strength in his fight against the Ancient Shaman, the power should’ve only heavily injured him. How... How did he die?’ He frowned in disbelief.

With a flash of thought, he released his mental power, but the surroundings were all broken and dilapidated walls. There were no signs of life.

“What’s wrong?” Big Yellow and Ou Yangming had been together for the longest time, so he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Ou Yangming hesitated for a moment before he said, “I feel that the previous dragon powerhouse won’t die so easily.”

There was a reason he said it out loud; he wanted Big Yellow and Lil’ Red to be more vigilant. They were at the core of the Great Wide World. No one could be sure what they would encounter.

“That’s impossible, right?” Big Yellow scanned the surroundings. It was full of gravel and dust.

Lil’ Red did not seem to mind. He jumped onto Ou Yangming’s shoulder and asked in a low voice, “Lil’ Ming, given such a strong destructive power, even if the dragon powerhouse has a strong physical body, it’s impossible for him to survive, right?”

Ou Yangming took a breath and did not say anything.

He used his mental power to search carefully. He was very meticulous and did not let go of any traces.

After an hour, his fingers gently stroked his chin. “Am I really being paranoid?” He glanced at the thunder pool not far away, took a breath, and said, “Let’s go!” Being able to enter the heart of origins was an opportunity, and every moment was precious.

As soon as he finished, he and the 2 beasts slowly walked forward.

It was dusk, and the setting sun shone on Ou Yangming’s long black hair. The scene was otherworldly as if he was a deity walking in the mortal world.

His face was like a calm lake as he walked into the thunder pool.

The sun quickly set but under the illumination of the lightning bolts that filled the sky, the surroundings were still as bright as day.

At the spur of the moment, numerous black light spots drilled out from the rubble. 1, 2... Countless of them. A gentle breeze blew past, and the black spots quickly gathered, slowly transforming into the shape of a black dragon.

Black mists spread out from the pores of the black dragon. After the mists spread out, it transformed into a human figure.

It was Long Chen. His eyes were sinister and full of killing intent.

He grinned and said coldly, “What a cautious fella. I almost failed to deceive him.” His eyes were red. His right hand gently swept across his interspatial bag as he took out a bronze statue. His body trembled, and his heart ached.

The bronze statue was emitting black smoke and no longer had any charm.

In fact, this was a skill that was similar to scapegoating. It could take injuries for him, but the only drawback was that it could only be used once.

It was something that Long Chen had obtained after going through many dangers, but the life-saving method was no longer useful.

Long Chen’s Qi momentum burst forth, and he crushed the bronze statue in his hand into copper bits. He tilted his head and looked at the thunder pool with a sinister gaze. He sneered and said, “I don’t believe that you have another arrow like that. Next time, I’ll surely skin you alive!” He had a reason for thinking this way. After all, the explosion of an explosive arrow was equivalent to the self-explosion of a Ruler. It could be considered one of the top life-saving techniques. If the young fellow had many of them, would that not be nonsense? How could it be possible!

Having an arrow like that would probably be the result of good fortune that was accumulated throughout several lifetimes.

In fact, if one were to really talk about it, the self-explosion of a Ruler would at most cause Long Chen to be heavily injured and lose his battle prowess.

There was a reason Long Chen used the life-saving method so easily. Firstly, if he were to face the explosive arrow head-on, he would be heavily injured, and his battle prowess would be reduced to less than 10%. In that case, he would surely suffer continuous attacks. It would be hard to say if he could use his life-saving method then. Secondly, with the news of his death, he could sneak into the thunder pool and launch a sneak attack on Ou Yangming, killing him in one strike.

Of course, the most important reason was that Ou Yangming was too decisive, so Long Chen did not even have the time to cut off his Qi.

Even Long Chen expressions from before were carefully thought through.

How much strength he used for his expressions, as well as the degree of anger and resentment shown were profound knowledge that he had grasped.

Long Chen took a deep breath, stepped on the sand with his right foot, which was followed closely with his left foot. Every time he stepped out, the aura on his body became more ethereal as if it was hidden in the white light of the thunder pool. After 10 steps, his body completely disappeared.

In the thunder pool, Ou Yangming protected Big Yellow and Lil’ Red. With his strength at the moment, he was like walking on flat ground in the pool.

Speaking of which, Ou Yangming’s cultivation base was on par with Big Yellow and Lil’ Red, but the difference in their combat strengths was too great and could not be compared.

Lil’ Red looked around and said softly, “Lil’ Ming, if I can fathom the law of fire, will I be as powerful as you?” His eyes were bright. When he thought about how he could snatch the treasures of the Dragons with that level of cultivation, his body possessed endless power.

One had to admit that this way of thinking was too extreme.

“I don’t know.” Ou Yangming shook his head. He gently grabbed a lightning arc and sensed it carefully.

“You don’t know?” Lil’ Red’s voice was raised by a few degrees.

Ou Yangming shifted his gaze to Lil’ Red and explained with a smile, “The heart of origins is vast and boundless, and it contained numerous laws. Besides, Heaven’s secrets have been concealed here. How can I know?” He spread out his hands with a helpless look on his face.

“That’s right! Lil’ Ming is only a top-grade Venerable One,” Big Yellow noted.

“What did you say?” Lil’ Red looked over. His light-colored eyes were filled with killing intent as if he would attack the big yellow dog if there was a disagreement between them.

Big Yellow immediately raised his head to look at the thunderclouds in the sky and did not dare to reply.

He cursed himself for not having a good memory. ‘How could I offend Lil’ Red? Great, he has a grudge against me now’.

Ou Yangming watched all of this with a smile, and his eyes looked a little warm.

Just as Ou Yangming’s thoughts were surging, an awe-inspiring saber-light appeared and slashed down furiously from the top of his head.

This saber-light was cold and decisive, and it was filled with an awe-inspiring coldness. It was extremely fast, and it was suffused with colorful light. The saber-light seemed to have become the only one in the world. As it spread, Long Chen’s ice-cold voice resounded, “Anatta Saber!”

Anatta[1] Saber—the saber that was struck out was non-self. By fusing one’s body with the saber, one could break an opponent’s soul and cut off the opponent’s body.

The saber cut off the body while the Qi cut off the soul. It was incredibly terrifying. The two complemented each other. Body techniques and dodges were useless in front of this saber.

There was no way to dodge this saber, so Ou Yangming could only face it head-on.

This was a move similar to the Big Avalanche, but it was less overbearing and more treacherous.

Furthermore, the timing of the saber was great. It was unexpected and also beyond reason. This also meant that it was difficult to guard against.

Long Chen was confident that this saber would cause Ou Yangming to be severely injured. This was because this saber was his understanding of the path, and it was his unbreakable will.

The saber-light pressed down, and various colors alternated. It was difficult to be grasped.

Wherever it passed, thunders within 333 meters were cut in half, leaving a gap that was about 33 meters wide.

Within the gap, even space was shattered, leaving only the awe-inspiring saber-light.
