Chapter 1091: A Fortuitous Encounter

“Freeze!”

Ou Yangming’s voice carried a mysterious power. As it spread out, it stirred up ripples and water currents… Everything came to a halt.

This was a time freeze. Even if it was only for an instant, for a powerhouse at his level, there were many things that could be done.

Lil’ Red had been preparing for a long time. He flapped his wings in the air, and a pale green feather arrow like a green arc of light landed in the origin of time. He growled, “Explode!”

“Boom!” An aura that could destroy everything was released. Immediately after, the explosive arrow turned red and disintegrated inch by inch before exploding.

An earth-shattering explosion was heard at the bottom of the sea like muffled thunder. Just this sound alone caused blood to flow out of the seven orifices of the 2-marked Ancient Shamans, and their brains seemed to have turned into paste.

Plenty of seawater began to boil and even burn fiercely. The waves that were stirred up spread out for hundreds of kilometers and wherever they passed, life was cut off.

Fortunately, this was a directional explosion. Otherwise, with Big Yellow and Lil’ Red’s strength, they would have been torn apart by the storm.

Lil’ Red stared at the scene with his mouth open. He thought to himself, ‘How… How could it be so strong?’

From his line of sight, the space where the explosive arrow had exploded was blasted into pieces, revealing a shocking pitch-black area. A powerful suction force was emitted from within. Lots of seawater poured into it, forming a deep whirlpool that spun non-stop, tearing everything in its surroundings into it.

Ou Yangming nodded and thought, ‘The power’s considered pretty good.’

If those words were heard by other blacksmiths, they would probably scold Ou Yangming for not being able to differentiate what was good or bad.

The power was equivalent to a Ruler’s self-explosion, and yet the young fellow only considered it pretty good? The other blacksmiths would probably spray him to death with a mouthful of salted soda. After all, the power could not have been any stronger.

As compared to the entire Great Wide World, Rulers were as rare as a phoenix’s feather or a qilin’s horn.

With a flash, Ou Yangming landed beside the 2 beasts.

At this moment, the seabed was in a mess. The arrow had caused the Ancient Shamans to be swallowed by the interspatial disturbance, and no one knew where they had been exiled to.

Big Yellow’s pupils constricted. It was only at this time that he regained his senses. His eyes rolled twice, then he smiled at Lil’ Red and said, “Uhm, Big Brother Lil’ Red, I… Want to discuss something with you.” He placed his paws together and seemed like he was in a hurry.

“What is it?” Lil’ Red asked. He was really pleased at the moment.

Previously, when he saw Big Yellow’s Flying Knives Formation, he thought that Ou Yangming was biased. Now that he saw the power of the explosive arrow, the thought disappeared.

“Can you give me one of the explosive arrows? I’ll give you an item of equal value in exchange!” Big Yellow’s voice was intermittent as he looked at Lil’ Red nervously.

“It can’t be discussed!” Lil’ Red raised his chin and looked very proud.

Big Yellow’s face became bitter. He looked at Ou Yangming with a resentful look.

Ou Yangming felt his scalp go numb from the gaze. He held Lil’ Red and asked softly, “Lil’ Red, how about… You give him one of the arrows?”

Lil’ Red shook his head like a rattle drum. He used his wings to press down on his interspatial bag tightly as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.

Ou Yangming spread out his hands and cast a helpless look at Big Yellow.

Big Yellow’s head drooped, and he refused to speak.

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and patted his head gently. “After this matter is over, I’ll refine a few for you.”

“Really?” Big Yellow raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.

“Really,” Ou Yangming nodded and promised.

This time, Lil’ Red was unhappy.

He struggled a few times and flew out of Ou Yangming’s hand. He looked at the young fellow with tears in his eyes. That expression made the fellow’s heart tremble, so he quickly turned his head away.

Lil’ Red did not give up. He flapped its wings and changed his position to look into Ou Yangming’s eyes.

Ou Yangming compromised and promised to refine a few more for Lil’ Red. Only then did this matter come to an end.

“Let’s go!” Ou Yangming rolled up his sleeves and flew into the distance with the 2 beasts.

After 3 days.

The Long River of Time rippled with snow-white ripples. With a gulp, a white-clothed young fellow, a big yellow dog, and a little red bird rushed out from the ripples.

Gentle sunlight shone on their bodies. Ou Yangming took a deep breath of air. His body was warm, and a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes. He sighed and said, “We’re finally out.” Looking at the Long River of Time, the water was turbulent. They moved up and down, and there was no change at all. After all, what he had done before was not even a drop in the ocean compared to the endless time.

Lil’ Red jumped onto Ou Yangming’s shoulder and thought of the scene where time stopped.

He asked softly, “Lil’ Ming, have you comprehended the law of time?”

Big Yellow kicked a stone and looked up. It was obvious that he was also very concerned. Up until this time, he had not even scratched the surface of laws.

Ou Yangming took a step forward and said, “How could it be so easy? I did gain something, but it was all gone.” There was not much regret in his words. He looked calm without joy or sadness.

Just from this state of mind, one could know that he had achieved what he had so far not by luck.

He had a foundation—a profound foundation.

※※※※

Blood—dazzling fresh blood everywhere.

The soil was painted red by the fresh blood and was slightly black.

As for the air, it was filled with bloody mists. The mountains, the forests, the ground, and the sky were enveloped by the mists as if one had entered a red world.

On the ground, a man dressed in fine clothes was slowly walking forward. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his expression was somewhat sinister. Nonetheless, no matter how one looked at it, there was a strange feeling in his eyes. The man was Feng Xinxiao.

“Hmph, with this set of equipment, Ou Yangming, you’ll surely die this time!” He snorted coldly, and the face that made him gnash his teeth appeared in front of him once again.

Feng Xinxiao looked at a red mountain rock. A fist force burst forth and with a light wave, the mountain rock disintegrated.

He did not know that this region was the most peculiar region in the heart of origins. This was because it contained the origin of slaughter. It could stir up the greed in the hearts of living beings and cause them to fall into the path of the devil.

After an hour, the blood mists became very dense. Even the radiance of the stars was blocked.

Feng Xinxiao’s vision widened. In front of him was a majestic mountain. A blood river flew down from the mountain peak. From afar, it looked like a red horned dragon that hung upside down from the nine heavens.

Wherever the blood river flowed, a rumbling sound of water splashing echoed in all directions. There was actually a red pool that was 3 kilometers long. From the outside to the inside, the color of the blood became thicker. When it reached the core of the pool, the color of the blood river was as black as ink as if it could devour one’s soul.

There were many spirit beasts jumping around in the mountains. Their auras were powerful, and some of them had even reached the level of a Venerable One. Even so, their eyes were terrifyingly red, faintly carrying a kind of hysterical madness.

All of a sudden, a fierce roar resounded.

Immediately after, a spirit beast equivalent to a top-grade Venerable One with red eyes stirred the blood mists into pieces. It suddenly rushed out and bit toward Feng Xinxiao’s head.

Other than the redness in its eyes, there was only indifference and not much charm.

Feng Xinxiao was stunned. He had never thought that such an insignificant beast would dare to sneak an attack on him. After all, he was a Ruler. Moreover, his body carried the unique pressure of the Phoenixes. All the other races would dodge him.

“Courting death!” After sneering, he pressed his finger in the air. The spirit beast was directly suppressed by a huge pressure and could not move at all. It was as if there was a mountain on its back.

With another press, the spirit beast’s body collapsed.

This small interlude did not affect Feng Xinxiao’s mood. He looked at the origin of slaughter in the blood lake, and there was a deep and evil aura about it.

“Do you desire power? Do you want revenge?” A voice was heard coming from somewhere and rang in his head.

“Who? Who’s speaking?” Feng Xinxiao stopped in his tracks and looked around vigilantly.

“Who? I am you…” The voice sounded again, and a figure appeared out of thin air above the origin of slaughter. Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like Feng Xinxiao, but there was a murderous aura on his body that could destroy the world. His eyes, nose, and mouth were all black, and his mouth was pure evil. The light around him was instantly distorted within 33 meters from him.

This kind of scene could make one feel a chill in one’s bones.

“You’re not me.” Feng Xinxiao shook his head, and his voice was very calm.

As soon as he finished, he continued, “However… I desire power—the power to dominate the Great Wide World!”

“Then come over…” There was a strong temptation in the figure’s voice.

Feng Xinxiao did not hesitate and walked into the blood pool step by step.

The moment he came into contact with the origin of slaughter, the black shadow surged into his body like a black stream of water, covering his skin bit by bit.

With that, the desire for power in his heart was being reflected in a magnifying glass and endlessly expanded. The law of slaughter surged like small black snakes, surging into his body.

Instantly, a shrill scream reverberated throughout the mountain.

Greed, hatred, loathing, lust, and all sorts of emotions and desires converged into one.

If someone were to look from afar at this moment, they would be surprised to discover that the black light was spinning non-stop. In the end, it turned into a large black cocoon that wrapped around Feng Xinxiao. A monstrous aura spread out from the large cocoon. The world was trembling, and spirit beasts were wailing as if they had seen the most fearsome thing. Despite that, they did not even dare to move. This was the same for even a fierce beast at the level of a top-grade Venerable One.

After an unknown time, the cocoon split open, and Feng Xinxiao walked out.

Sensing the powerful strength in his body, he let out a long cry, and the mountains within 33 kilometers from him exploded, causing the sky and the ground to crack.

His eyes were pitch-black, and numerous black arcs intertwined together, making them look very deep.

Feng Xinxiao looked around and nodded in satisfaction, then he said softly, “What a powerful strength. If I meet that insignificant human again, I can squash him to death with one hand and devour the Phoenixes’ Imperial Bloodline. I can even snatch control over the Phoenixes! Hahahahaha…”

His eyes were filled with anticipation. He no longer wanted to act under the orders of others. Even if that person was the one who gave birth to him and raised him, he could not do it. He wanted to become the king of the Great Wide World!

Feng Xinxiao did not know that from this moment on, he was no longer him.
