Chapter 1213: Don’t Agree

Ou Yangming had another discovery.

There seemed to be a huge secret hidden in the memory fragments of the Nine-sworded Ruler.

Nonetheless, he did not get much information from this clone, so he could not determine what the secret was.

‘Could this secret be related to the changes in the Great Wide World?’ Ou Yangming thought to himself.

‘This time, I absolutely can’t let him escape!’

Ou Yangming looked at the horizon. He released his spiritual sense completely. His mental power was enormous. Once his spiritual sense was released, it could cover the entire Spiritual Realm.

In an instant, all the scenes in the Spiritual Realm appeared in Ou Yangming’s mind.

It was not an easy thing to find an ordinary person from this mottled and complicated information. Even so, it was very easy to find the Nine-sworded Ruler.

Under Ou Yangming’s mental power, all the powerhouses in the Spiritual Realm were locked onto by him.

There were very few powerhouses in the Spiritual Realm, only a few hundred of them were Venerable Ones. As for Rulers, there was not a single one. Of course, this was to get rid of the 8 powerhouses of the laws, whose auras were very similar.

Those 8 people were without a doubt the clones of the Nine-sworded Ruler.

The Nine-sworded Ruler, whose strength had fallen to the second step, used the Third World’s special method to split his body into 9 in order to quickly absorb the blood, Qi, and essences of souls. These 9 clones only had the strength of an ordinary powerhouse of the laws.

In the Great Wide World, this was a dangerous act because each clone was a part of oneself. If one was destroyed, it was equivalent to losing a ninth of one’s strength. Nevertheless, it did not matter in the lower realm because there were not even Rulers here, and there were not any enemies in the law boundary.

The 8 clones were scattered in every corner of the Spiritual Realm. At this moment, they were rapidly gathering in a certain place. After Ou Yangming’s divine sense swept over their bodies, they became even faster.

Ou Yangming’s body moved, once again tearing open space and flying toward a certain place.

The explosion of his divine sense just now had shocked the entire Spiritual Realm. The surging and majestic spiritual power made countless people look at the sky in terror.

“Who is it? How could the Spiritual Realm have such a terrifying existence?” In the vast mountain range, an old man who was a Venerable One raised his head, his eyes filled with shock.

“So powerful. Could it be that he’s the demon that appeared recently? If that’s the case, the Spiritual Realm will be completely destroyed.” A figure appeared in a desolate desert.

Other than these powerhouses hiding in various corners of the Spiritual Realm, there were also powerhouses from sects and leaders of tribes. As long as one was a Venerable One, they would be able to sense the terrifying spiritual sense that enveloped the sky above the Spiritual Realm.

In Danzhou, at the foot of a huge mountain.

Old Craftsman was idling around playing go with the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One.

“Pow!” The black piece in the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s hand landed on the chessboard, messing up the other pieces on it.

Old Craftsman glared at him and said unhappily, “You b*stard, I almost beat you once with great difficulty, and you cheated!”

He had taught the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One how to play go. The purpose was to accompany him to pass the time and at the same time, give him a taste of the pleasure of beating a newbie.

Unfortunately, except for the first few rounds, Old Craftsman actually did not win.

The stronger one was, the more profound one’s understanding of things would be, and one’s comprehension ability would increase proportionately. Old Craftsman had just become an Intermediate Spiritualist, and the gap between him and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, who was a top-grade Venerable One, was too big to be measured.

It was not easy for Old Craftsman to have a slight chance of winning but unexpectedly, the pieces were messed up.

“I’m sorry, I was a bit absent-minded just now. This round counts as my loss.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s expression was not too good, and he said in a low voice.

“You’re still a supreme Venerable One, after all, yet you can’t even hold a chess piece,” Old Craftsman complained. This kind of victory was not what he had expected.

He raised his head and saw the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s expression. He also sensed something, so he asked, “What exactly happened just now? Your complexion looks bad.”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One raised his head and looked at the sky. “Just now, I felt an unrivaled divine sense sweeping over us.”

Old Craftsman’s expression also became serious. Even the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, who was a top-grade Venerable One, felt that he was unrivaled, so it must be powerful.

“Is it not from this world?” Old Craftsman asked.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded. “It’s definitely not from this world. You can’t sense divine sense, so you don’t know how mighty that person is. Luckily, he wasn’t targeting me just now. Otherwise, he could’ve used his divine sense to kill me.”

“It can’t be. You’re a Venerable One!” Old Craftsman felt incredulous. He had been here for more than half a year and had become friends with the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. Naturally, he knew how powerful the other party was. Even in the Spiritual Realm, there were not many people who could match up to the Venerable One.

“So what if I’m a Venerable One? The Spiritual Realm is just a small world, after all.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked into the distance, his eyes carrying traces of yearning.

If it was not for the fact that he could not let go of the 10,000 Beasts Mountain, he would have also wanted to venture into the Great Wide World.

“I wonder how that little b*stard is doing up there.” Old Craftsman raised his head and sighed. That young fellow had lived together with him since he was young. This should be the longest time they had been separated.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One understood who Old Craftsman was talking about. He smiled slightly and said, “The Great Wide World can’t be compared to the Spiritual Realm. It’s easy to go up but difficult to come down. When Ou Yangming went up, he had just broken through to a Venerable One. If he wants to come back again, he probably needs to at least become a Ruler.”

“Little b*stard, I don’t know if he has forgotten about me.” Old Craftsman tidied up the chessboard. When he talked about Ou Yangming, he no longer had the mood to continue playing.

The two of them sat at the side with heavy hearts.

In the distant horizon of the Spiritual Realm, in the void, Ou Yangming leaped out and blocked in front of a black figure.

“Nine-sworded Ruler!”

Ou Yangming’s voice seemed to be permeated with ice shards, and the surrounding air seemed to have become much colder.

The black figure’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect the other party to come so quickly. He turned around and ran toward another person.

Using the power of laws to fight against Ou Yangming, who was in the second step, was a stupid thing, so the clone of the Nine-sworded Ruler would not do it.

Despite that, could he escape from Ou Yangming?

The answer was certainly no.

Ou Yangming had chased for thousands of kilometers and came through the air. How could he let the Nine-sworded Ruler escape again? The Reincarnation Spear in his hand shook slightly.

A silver light flashed on the spear!

“Ah!” The Nine-sworded Ruler’s clone was directly pierced through.

Ou Yangming was decisive and merciless. He used a killing move right from the start. The clone in the law boundary did not have any chance to resist.

The young fellow used the Soul-sucking Art again and gathered the soul fragments in this clone. He did not waste time checking.

His body moved and flew in another direction.

5,000 kilometers away.

7 black-clothed people gathered. They looked very hurried. Black lights flashed on their bodies, and their bodies gradually merged.

Although 2 clones had been destroyed, the Nine-sworded Ruler was still very powerful when he merged. The 20 small worlds had not been destroyed for nothing, and his injuries had recovered a lot.

If not for the fact that 2 of his clones had been destroyed, even if he could not recover to the third step, he would still be considered an existence at the peak of the second step.

After the 7 clones had merged into one, the Nine-sworded Ruler stared at a spot in the void.

The void shattered, and Ou Yangming flew out from within.

Ou Yangming stepped in the air and looked at the Nine-sworded Ruler, his eyes flashing with a fierce look. “I didn’t expect you to react so quickly.”

The Nine-sworded Ruler was wearing a black robe. His several clones had merged into one. His body was full of blood and Qi, and his muscles seemed to be full of explosive power.

He looked at Ou Yangming and asked, “Do you think I’m stupid enough to let you defeat me one by one?”

A cold light flashed in Ou Yangming’s eyes. “Crazy fella, do you think you can stop me after merging your clones?”

“Haha…”

The Nine-sworded Ruler laughed coldly, “I don’t know what fortuitous encounter you had, and the speed at which your strength increased has shocked me, but you’re only in the second step, after all. Now that our strengths are equal, and I have the combat experiences of the third step, I should still have some advantage overall.”

“Do you intend to make peace with me?” Ou Yangming sneered.

The Nine-sworded Ruler said coldly, “You can understand it that way. There’s no deep blood feud between us. Previously, it was because of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis that there was some misunderstanding between us. You’re a genius, and I don’t think you want to fight to the death with me.”

He revealed a powerful aura. His strength had dropped a lot, but his aura was still far superior to that of an ordinary second-step powerhouse.

In addition to the Taoist Tool in his hand and his third-step battle mentality, the Nine-sworded Ruler did not think that he would lose to a second-step human powerhouse in a duel.

The Nine-sworded Ruler did not intend to perish together with Ou Yangming. He still had a mission to complete in the Great Wide World. If he completed the mission and returned to the Third World, his injuries and fallen strength would not be a problem.

Ou Yangming suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at the Nine-sworded Ruler with disdain in his eyes. “Is this your confidence?”

His voice gradually grew louder, “If I let you go, Senior Du Xie won’t agree, Senior Bone Dragon won’t agree, and countless human souls in the 20 small worlds won’t agree! Do you think I’ll become a sinner of the Humans and the Great Wide World?”

The Nine-sworded Ruler’s face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and he shouted sternly, “Ignorant child, what do those people have to do with you? Those people are dead, and the humans in the other small worlds are even more laughable. Is there a need for dragons to care about the lives of ants?”

“I’m sorry, but the world in our hearts is different and…” Ou Yangming paused for a moment. “You almost hurt the most important person in my life.”

Before the Nine-sworded Ruler could understand the meaning of that, Ou Yangming’s body had broken through the air and flashed through the void.

The power in his body completely erupted from his limbs and bones. The Reincarnation Spear whistled over, and red light surged into the sky, as if it was the beginning of chaos.
