Chapter 1212: Eliminated a Clone

The devil in the sky did not seem to be in a hurry to kill everyone. In his eyes, the struggles, cries, and roars were like the most beautiful music.

This was a massacre, and no one could avoid it. The burly men were struck by the black light one by one, and their bodies turned into dust, disappearing from the world.

Everyone died thoroughly, not leaving a trace of their blood.

Within the tribe, there were countless cries. Children were crying loudly. Those women could only hold their children in their hands, and their bodies were trembling.

There were also some old people. Their muddy eyes were filled with despair. These people had witnessed the rise and fall of the tribe for over 100 years, and they had very strong feelings for the tribe. Now, they had to witness the destruction of the tribe. This was a cruel thing for them.

“Devil…”

“Heavens, who can destroy this devil?”

In the tribe, numerous people prayed to the heavens. Nonetheless, even if there was a heaven, would anyone care about the prayers of the insignificant people here?

“Devil?”

The man whose body was surrounded by black light suddenly laughed out loud. “Devil. Good, that’s a pretty good name. If the devil’s ability can help me recover my strength, so what if I really fall into the devilish path?”

A sharp light flashed in his eyes. The bodies of the people on the ground exploded, and all of their blood, Qi, and souls were absorbed by him. This made the man feel comfortable.

The devil in the sky waved his hand again, and the cries in the tribe disappeared. He had finally made a move on those ordinary people.

Of course, to the person in the sky, all the people of the Green Wood Tribe were not that different.

“The tribe is finished…”

Everyone was in despair. The Green Wood Tribe would be like the other tribes that had been destroyed, disappearing from this world forever.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

All of a sudden, a strange sound came from the sky. The black-robed devil was shocked and raised his head.

A huge crack appeared in the void, and a figure appeared in the chaotic turbulence. The figure was very far away and due to the obstruction of the turbulence, the black-clothed man could not see the person’s appearance clearly.

“A powerhouse from the Great Wide World?”

The black-clothed man was slightly surprised. ‘Could it be that the people of the upper realm have already noticed my actions? I’ve only destroyed 20 small worlds.

‘This is only the 21st.

‘Compared to the 50 small worlds that I planned to destroy, I haven’t even reached half.’

“Isn’t this too fast?”

The black-clothed man did not have the time to care too much. A person who could forcefully break through space was at least an existence in the law boundary. With his ability at the moment, it would be very difficult to deal with such a person. Moreover, the other party might be in the second step. If he met such a person, it would be troublesome.

“I’ll leave this place first!” The black-clothed man stretched out his hand. He did not intend to waste time. He wanted to immediately destroy all the people in the tribe and quickly leave this place.

Just as he stretched out his hand, a thunderous voice came from the horizon.

“Nine-sworded Ruler!”

The voice was like thunder, shaking the black-robed man’s body. His expression changed, and his body turned into a ray of black light as he flew into the distance.

He had escaped. After hearing this name, he even gave up on exterminating the Green Wood Tribe.

A figure appeared in the void. Golden light burst out from Ou Yangming’s eyes. He stretched out his hand and tore open the fragile space in the lower realm, chasing after the black-robed man.

Ou Yangming did not expect that the first person he met in the lower realm would be the Nine-sworded Ruler, the supreme powerhouse from the Third World who had been injured in the Desolate Ancient Ruins and left.

How could anything good happen when he came to the Spiritual Realm?

If it was the Nine-sworded Ruler at his peak, Ou Yangming would retreat. Now that the opponent had been permanently injured twice, he was not afraid at all.

The devil left, and Ou Yangming’s body also disappeared into the void.

At this time, the people of the Green Wood Tribe were dumbfounded. They stood on the ground in a daze, their eyes staring blankly at the sky.

Only a third of the survivors of the tribe were left. Those strong men had almost all died at the hands of the devil just now.

“The devil left!” An old man said with a trembling voice.

“Yes, the devil is gone. We all survived…”

The tribe had suffered heavy losses, but they were not destroyed in the end. Compared to the other tribes that had encountered this devil, they were the luckiest.

“It should be that deity who came out just now. He drove the devil away.” Someone vaguely remembered a young man’s figure flashing across the sky.

Whether it was that devil or Ou Yangming, their strengths had surpassed everyone’s imagination.

In a small world where Venerable Ones were already top-notch powerhouses, such a frightening powerhouse was no different from a deity in their hearts.

“We also saw him. After the devil saw that deity, he ran away. Sir also chased after him. We hope that sir can eliminate that fella and leave a trace of survival for the billions of living beings in the Spiritual Realm.”

Everyone from the Green Wood Tribe kneeled on the ground in unison. They prayed that the deity who suddenly appeared could kill the devil. Of course, these prayers naturally could not reach Ou Yangming’s ears.

The black figure was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had fled 500 kilometers away. He looked behind him and saw that no one was chasing after him. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

“Why did that b*stard come here? Could it be that he has been looking for me all this time?” The black-clothed man was the Nine-sworded Ruler. He had seen Ou Yangming’s strength in the Desolate Ancient Ruins.

The young fellow might only be in the second step, but his moves were strange and posed a great threat to a powerhouse in the third step.

If the Nine-sworded Ruler was at his peak, he would not have escaped. Now, there was not even 1% of his strength left. He barely managed to stay in the second step.

The key was that this body was just a clone. The strength of this clone was in the law boundary. With such strength, it would be easy for him to destroy tribes in small worlds. Nevertheless, facing Ou Yangming, who was in the second step, he would be killed instantly.

“To prevent the human powerhouses in the Great Wide World from finding out that something’s wrong, I specially came to the lower realm. I didn’t think that I’d still be discovered. Damn that b*stard, looks like I’ll have to hurry up and merge my clones before leaving this world.”

The black-robed Nine-sworded Ruler was glad that Ou Yangming did not chase after him. Feeling lucky, he prepared to leave this place as soon as possible.

At the spur of the moment, the space in front of him split open, and a silver-white spear came out from within.

“Puff!”

A muffled sound was heard, and the Nine-sworded Ruler was somewhat dazed. He looked at his body in disbelief. The other party had torn open the void and reached his side directly.

“You’re really… so weak!”

Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with a fierce look. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He had almost been killed by this b*stard several times. He had long wanted to take revenge, but he had no chance.

Who would have thought that, with the blessing of the heavens, he would come down from the upper realm and meet the Nine-sworded Ruler, who was only in the law boundary!

The Reincarnation Spear pierced a huge hole in the Nine-sworded Ruler’s body, and his body was covered in blood. Ou Yangming lowered his gaze and questioned, “Tell me, why did you come to the Great Wide World, and when will the person behind you come here?”

“You can’t get any information from me!”

The Nine-sworded Ruler directly cut off his last bit of blood. This decisive action shocked Ou Yangming.

“Something’s wrong!” Ou Yangming suddenly felt that something was wrong.

“The Nine-sworded Ruler’s strength can’t be so weak. Besides, based on his performance in the ancient ruins, he’s not the kind of person who isn’t afraid of death. He must have other motives for doing this.”

Ou Yangming was not confused by his appearance.

‘Do you think that I can’t know what you’re thinking just because you’re dead?’

Ou Yangming’s eyes darkened. The mental power in his body suddenly burst out, and the surrounding space was completely sealed by him.

“Soul-sucking Art!” Ou Yangming growled.

In the void, countless scattered auras began to gather, then they were absorbed by Ou Yangming’s mental power.

This art was learned by Ou Yangming from the strange book of the Seven Stars Pavilion. It had a very powerful power, and its biggest function was soul-sucking.

He could suck a person’s soul!

Even for a person who had died for a long time, as long as there were remains of the person’s soul power, he could use this art to see the other party’s memory fragments.

The Nine-sworded Ruler had just died, so his soul power should still be complete.

Faint starlights gradually appeared in the void.

These starlights gradually gathered, and Ou Yangming’s mental power gathered into a horned dragon. The horned dragon opened its bloody mouth and swallowed all the starlights in one gulp.

Very soon, images began to appear in Ou Yangming’s eyes. These images were the remains of the Nine-sworded Ruler’s soul fragments.

Eventually, Ou Yangming’s face became stern. After seeing everything, his face was as gloomy as ink.

“Lunatic!”

There was not much information contained in the soul fragments, but Ou Yangming also knew some crucial information. For instance, the Nine-sworded Ruler secretly came to the lower realm because he knew a cruel cultivation technique that could recover his strength by devouring the blood essences and souls of his race.

In order to not be noticed, the Nine-sworded Ruler came to the lower realm, and he had destroyed 20 small worlds!

20 small worlds!

Ou Yangming clenched his fists tightly. In so many small worlds, the number of humans was almost uncountable. The Nine-sworded Ruler’s hands were filled with blood, and it was even more than during the disaster of the Ancient Demons.

The young fellow’s heart trembled slightly. He knew the Nine-sworded Ruler’s goal. If he was a step late, this world would…

Old Craftsman, Ni Yinghong, Wu Hanning, Bai Shixue… All the people he was close to in the Spiritual Realm would be killed by the Nine-sworded Ruler.

Even for a heavily injured powerhouse in the third step, it would be a piece of cake for him to destroy a small world.

Ou Yangming was furious. It was fortunate that he had returned early. If he had been a step later, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

In his heart, he wanted nothing more than to crush the Nine-sworded Ruler into ashes.

From the simple memories in the soul fragments, Ou Yangming did not know much. However, he knew that it was not the Nine-sworded Ruler who had been killed. It was just one of his clones. If the Nine-sworded Ruler wanted to recover his strength, he had to do more than just slaughter people. If that was the case, it would be much simpler.

After killing people, the Nine-sworded Ruler would need to absorb their souls, blood, and Qi. In order to increase his efficiency and speed, he split himself into 9 clones. This was just one of his clones.

The other 8 clones were still in the Spiritual Realm….
