Chapter 1084: The Shamans

The night winds blew gently, bringing with them a refreshing chill.

When Big Yellow and Lil’ Red heard what Ou Yangming said, they raised their heads at the same time and looked at him in surprise. The big yellow dog gulped and asked in a dry voice, “Are you really going?” There was actually a hint of fear in his voice.

Even Lil’ Red, who was usually bold, curled his mouth and quietly waited for Ou Yangming’s answer.

Although they were usually audacious, when they looked at the Long Long River of Time in front of them, they felt a strong sense of crisis. They wished that they could get as far away from it as possible. They did not even dare to think about getting close to it.

“Yes, since we stumbled upon it, we’ll have to explore it no matter what. Don’t worry, if we face a danger that we can’t resist, we’ll immediately retreat,” Ou Yangming replied.

Indeed, Ou Yangming had the poisonous pill’s world. If he faced a situation that could not be handled by him, he would put the 2 beasts into the world and take flight.

Seeing that Ou Yangming was not joking, the 2 beasts thought seriously for a moment and nodded. Since he insisted, they could only risk their lives to accompany him.

“Good brothers,” Ou Yangming uttered softly.

Many people in the world would share wealth and honor with you, but very few people would be willing to accompany you knowing that something was dangerous.

It was obvious that Big Yellow and Lil’ Red were the latter.

This was a rare quality…

On the Long River of Time, countless snow-white ripples were created. From afar, it looked like snow lotuses were pushed aside layer by layer on the peak of a snow mountain, giving people a dreamy feeling.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and thought to himself, ‘I really don’t know where I’ll go after I take this step.’

Nonetheless, he had to take the step because he had a feeling that if he did not go in, he would regret it for the rest of his life. After comprehending the laws, his premonitions were like Heaven’s gift and were very accurate. Therefore, he had no choice but to enter the Long River of Time.

He did not hesitate. After all, his heart for the path was not firm, he could not have reached this stage. He lifted his feet slightly and stepped on the snow-white ripples.

Big Yellow and Lil’ Red’s footsteps were steady as they followed behind him.

Immediately, they were hit by a topsy-turvy feeling. Big Yellow and Lil’ Red felt their heads sink as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss. They were muddle-headed and did not have any thoughts at all. After a while, they fainted.

Even with Ou Yangming’s mental power, he felt as if he had fallen into chaos.

He did not know how long it took before he slowly woke up. It might have been an instant or even an eternity.

The young fellow and the 2 beasts appeared in a mysterious sea. The seawater was blue, and undercurrents surged. Many bubbles emerged from the seabed. Some were big while some were small, some were round while some were square. They emitted wonderful lights, and they were densely packed as they rippled in the water.

What was more bizarre was that the 3 of them could breathe in the water as if they were on land.

Lil’ Red glanced at the colorful lights in the distance and said in surprise, “This… This is the Long River of Time?”

“Yes, this should be one of the sections,” Ou Yangming responded after some thought.

Big Yellow had a curious look on its face. He gently tapped on one of the bubbles with his paw, and the bubble exploded and turned into a gorgeous colorful light that instantly dissipated. “How Strange!” He muttered softly.

He actually liked the feeling of popping bubbles. Each bubble was pierced by his sharp nails.

Even Lil’ Red joined in. The 2 beasts were having a great time.

Ou Yangming laughed bitterly when he saw this, but he did not say anything to stop them.

All of a sudden, a numb voice was heard.

“The auras of the Dragons and the Phoenixes… I hate, I hate!” Shrill roars could be heard in the minds of the young fellow and the 2 beasts. At the same time, ferocious and terrifying faces appeared in their minds. This was a hatred that came from the bottom of one’s heart and would not go away even if it had existed for tens of thousands of years. This kind of hatred existed with time and laws, and it would never dissipate.

Following that, a giant that was over 3 kilometers tall appeared.

His eyes were indifferent and there was no spirit in them. His skin was rough like pieces of ice-cold rocks, where lines were carved on it. The most terrifying thing was that there were 2 star marks embedded in the center of his eyebrows. The lights that they emitted were superior to even that of the most resplendent gemstone.

“What’s that?” Big Yellow strode to Ou Yangming’s side and looked solemn.

“It looks similar to the giant from before but with a much weaker aura,” Ou Yangming answered in a low voice.

On the other hand, Lil’ Red’s eyes flickered. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and said in a trembling voice, “Shaman—that’s an Ancient Shaman.”

“An Ancient Shaman?” Ou Yangming’s voice was neither hurried nor slow, but he could not help but raise his voice a little.

“Yes.” Lil’ Red nodded and sorted out the words in his mind before he explained, “The Ancient Shamans are even more ancient than the Dragons and the Phoenixes. They were born before the myriad spirits. They don’t cultivate cultivation techniques, they don’t refine magic weapons, and they don’t comprehend the truth of Heaven and Earth. Every Ancient Shaman has luck on them. They borrow the power of hell’s Yin Power and the power of heaven’s Yang Power to temper their bodies. The star marks between their eyebrows are the most important indication of the division of their strengths. 1 star mark is the least while 5 star marks are the most.” As Lil’ Red spoke, he raised his head to look.

He took a deep breath and continued, “2 star marks—he’s about to become an adult Ancient Shaman and is a top-grade Venerable One.”

After hearing what Lil’ Red said, Big Yellow was not afraid. Instead, there was an eager look in his eyes. After all, he could borrow the power of the Small Dragon’s World, and his strength had surpassed that of ordinary top-grade Venerable Ones. If he were to be thrown into the Spiritual Realm, he might be able to dominate that realm.

Big Yellow bared his sharp white teeth.

His sharp teeth flickered with cold lights, and his mouth became larger, making him look like a fierce beast that had come from the ancient times to devour people. He aimed at the Ancient Shaman’s left arm and bit it. The spiritual Qi in his Dantian Lake surged, and the lights in his eyes shone brilliantly. He was awe-inspiring, and his aura was infinitely close to that of an ordinary Ruler.

“Crack!” Without any obstruction…

The Ancient Shaman’s left arm was crushed by Big Yellow’s bite.

Strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out. There was not even the slightest change in the Ancient Shaman’s gaze. It was so cold that it made one’s heart turn cold.

Big Yellow was stunned. He had never thought that the Ancient Shaman would be so weak that his arm would be directly bitten off.

It was then the Ancient Shaman raised his right arm. Black electric arcs wrapped around his fist, and he smashed it toward Big Yellow’s head.

The distance between the two was only about 30 meters. For a powerhouse of this level, such a distance would only take the blink of an eye.

“Bang…” Big Yellow only felt a destructive power sweep through its body, and he flew out 333 meters like a kite with a broken string. Water pillars that were about 10 meters in length appeared out of thin air, and even a wisp of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Lil’ Red was about to make a move when Ou Yangming stopped him. “Trust him. This level of power can’t hurt him.”

The little red bird did not hesitate and steadied himself. He trusted Ou Yangming a lot and believed that the young fellow was on par with Feng Mu no matter what.

Big Yellow gulped a mouthful of blood. The ferocity in his blood was activated. With a flash of thought, flying knives floated around him. Upon closer inspection, there were 9 of them, and they formed a small formation.

With a powerful move of his mental power, the 9 flying knives connected with each other, like a blooming plum blossom.

They spun quickly, producing a sharp force. Wherever they passed, the seawater was pushed out in all directions, forming a vacuum. The water flow in front of the flying knives surged, looking as if it could soar and touch the sky.

Ou Yangming watched and nodded secretly.

Big Yellow’s growth speed was far faster than he had imagined. At this time, excluding Lil’ Red, among Big Yellow, the goshawk, and King Kong, only Big Yellow could keep up with his pace. Nevertheless, the big yellow dog barely managed to keep up with him. As for the 2 other beasts, they were far behind him.

“Disperse!” Big Yellow uttered softly.

As soon as he said that, the plum blossom formed by the flying knives dispersed. Despite that, there was a strange connection between them.

Like 9 black star marks, they removed the flesh and blood on the Ancient Shaman’s body. In an instant, only a giant skeleton was left.

“Hiss…” Big Yellow took a deep breath and said in surprise, “This is the power of a magic weapon? It’s too powerful.” With a thought, the 9 flying knives returned to his interspatial bag.

Big Yellow raised his head and approached Ou Yangming to be praised.

“Not bad.” Ou Yangming saw his expression and laughed bitterly in his heart, but he still praised him.

“Lil’ Ming, it’s because you refined the magic weapon well,” Big Yellow responded.

Without warning, as if time was flowing backward, this Ancient Shaman healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body reassembled.

In an instant, there were no more injuries on his body.

He let out a shrill cry. As his voice reverberated, the ripples in the seawater spread out in all directions.

Big Yellow and Lil’ Red exchanged a look and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. They had witnessed the Ancient Shaman being stripped until only his skeleton was left but after a short while, he had come back to life. The scene was too dreamy.

In comparison, Ou Yangming was much calmer. He had seen similar scenes before.

‘It’s the law of time again?’ He thought to himself.

Before the thought was even gone, numerous huge bodies surrounded him from all directions. At first glance, there were at least several thousand Ancient Shamans, and their auras shook the void.

Every single one of them had electric arcs flickering on their bodies, and they were terrifying.

Ou Yangming’s expression turned cold as he suddenly threw a punch forward. This punch was imbued with a hint of the Reincarnation Fist. The nine heavens and ten lands would be instantly shattered before it.

The wind from the punch surged and wherever it passed, Ancient Shamans were shattered into pieces and scattered in the seawater.

Having said that, the shattered Ancient Shamans gathered once again, and they charged forward fearlessly.

It would be fine if that was all but there were more Ancient Shamans in the surroundings. All of them had a unique characteristic, which was that they looked indifferent.

In fact, Ou Yangming could sense that a 3-marked Ancient Shaman was rushing over at high speed. When he recalled how terrifying a 3-marked Ancient Shaman was, his face turned pale, and he shouted anxiously, “Hurry up and leave!” Indeed, there was no point in being entangled with the giants.

With that, the young fellow and the 2 beasts turned into 3 streaks of light and left in an instant.

However, the Ancient Shamans were not slow at all. They stuck behind Ou Yangming and his companions like gum and could not be shaken off no matter how hard they tried.

The 3-marked Ancient Shaman was getting closer. Ou Yangming could even feel the horrifying fluctuations on his body. It was a kind of power and tyranny that could destroy the world.

After a while, a massive divine hall suddenly appeared in front of Ou Yangming.

Fear appeared in the eyes of the Ancient Shamans, and they slowed down.

Ou Yangming let out a long sigh of relief. He looked around and said softly, “They… They seem to be afraid. Quick, enter the light hall.”

The young fellow and the beasts flew away!
