Chapter 414 The World’s Destroyers

“Woof…”

Before Ou Yangming even said a word, Big Yellow barked.

If Multi-armed King Kong was talking about something else or was threatening them, the big yellow dog would not have been bothered. Nonetheless, it dared not relax at all when the giant beast spoke about the Life or Death Disaster.

This was because the big yellow dog had indeed begun to feel uneasy at certain times as its power kept increasing. It did not know before why it was feeling that way, but it knew now.

Nevertheless, knowing was one thing because the big yellow dog did not know how it could solve the hidden trouble.

Multi-armed King Kong glanced at the dog snappily, but it still noted, “The best way to solve this problem is to leave this world where powers are restrained.” Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were stunned. They looked at each other and noticed sparks in each other’s eyes.

“Multi-armed King Kong, will there be no disaster if we leave this world?” The young fellow asked in a deep voice.

“Of course. When a living being’s power exceeds the manageable limit in this world, one will have the attention of the world’s origin.” Multi-armed King Kong explained, “Once the attention reaches a certain point, that being will be automatically removed by the origin. Our powers aren’t weak, but they’re insignificant as compared to the whole world.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “We’re not destroying the world’s origin, so why is it doing this?”

“Because our very existence is a form of destruction to the world. Given that we’re so formidable, we need to consume more resources to live. For instance, the breaths we take…” Multi-armed King Kong answered without any hesitation, then it lifted its head and exhaled at the sky. It was such a long breath that it was unbelievable, to the extent that a small storm was stirred in mid-air.

Seeing as how mighty a breath could be, the big yellow dog was taken aback.

“You’ve seen it now. If one becomes as powerful as I am, the power consumed for every move and what’s needed to recover the consumption will be extra burdens for the world,” the giant beast added with bright eyes, “It’s not too bad for foreign powerhouses like us because we’re given a certain period to hide. On the other hand, natives of this world will be watched by the world’s origin if they want to break through the threshold.”

Ou Yangming fell silent for a while before he asked, “But I remember that the imperial family had powerhouses beyond a great ancestor for generations. How did they do it?”

Multi-armed King Kong blinked its huge eyes as it was surprised. “Do they have one for every generation? That’s unbelievable-how did they avoid the punishments from the world’s origin’s power?”

“A secret realm—the imperial family’s secret realm,” Ou Yangming uttered as he was struck with a thought.

Upon hearing him, Multi-armed King Kong shook all eight of its arms, causing loud clashes to be heard. “Yes, they must be hiding in a vast secret realm. Hehe, once they leave the realm for a long time, they’ll draw Heavenly Punishments too.” Ou Yangming nodded because he finally understood why Wu Yuanwei hid in the secret realm and would not leave.

He initially thought the Humans’ number one powerhouse was always cultivating in the secret realm, but he now knew it was not because the elder did not want to leave the realm, but he dared not do so.

In a way, Wu Yuanwei could only stay in the outside world for a limited period. Once his time was up, he would be punished by the Heavenly Thunderbolts. Being the strongest powerhouse, he was responsible for guarding the capital and protecting the eight counties. Therefore, every minute he spent outside had to be spent carefully.

Ou Yangming pondered for a long time and asked, “Multi-armed King Kong, since you’ve descended to our world, aren’t you afraid of the Heavenly Punishments?”

“I’m afraid-of course, I’m afraid.” Multi-armed King Kong smiled bitterly. “If I don’t complete my task, I won’t be able to return to the upper realm. Once I start receiving Heavenly Punishments, I’ll surely be doomed.”

“What task do you need to complete?”

“Erase the abnormal form in this world and let it return to its origin.”

“Make it understandable!” “Ah… In simpler terms, I’m tasked to eliminate the Humans and make the Beasts the strongest race in this world.”

Ou Yangming’s face changed. He was mentally prepared for the answer, but he still felt a chill when he heard it.

No wonder every beast tide was known as the Humans’ disaster. It turned out that the Beasts’ ultimate goal is to wipe the Humans off the face of Earth.

“How much time are you given to complete the task?”

“Around 20 years. As long as I exist, I’ll constantly consume the energies in this world, so I’m given 20 years at most. Even if nobody cares about me, I’ll eventually be killed by the world’s origin.” Multi-armed King Kong sounded sorrowful.

Ou Yangming scoffed. If it was not because the giant beast had become his pet, he would not have pitied it instead and would think that it deserved it.

However, he could not stand by idly anymore. Even if he was not doing it for the giant beast, he had to think for himself and the big yellow dog.

“Can the upper realm accommodate us?”

Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes lit up. “Master, the universe’s spiritual power in the upper realm can’t be compared by the one in this world; the disparity is more than 10,000 times. Not to mention beings like you and me, even Almighty Beings that can mount the clouds and brew storms can be easily accommodated.”

Ou Yangming looked deeply at it and raised another question, “Okay, how can we enter the upper realm?”

Although Wu Yuanwei had promised him a slot to go beyond Heaven, given the situation now, one slot was far from sufficient.

“There are many ways, but the most appropriate way is through an Almighty Being’s help…” Multi-armed King Kong immediately answered, but it suddenly paused and had an odd look on its face.

Furthermore, Ou Yangming also sensed the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness moving rapidly.

A mysterious power was delivered from the void and was connecting with him through his Military Fire. The young fellow was familiar with it because it was the doing of the senior that had been helping him in the dark.

Ou Yangming frowned as he sensed the message delivered by the senior.

“Woof…” The big yellow dog was vaguely moved, but it could not sense the message due to a barrier because it was not Ou Yangming. As such, it could only bark anxiously.

“Big Yellow, we might need to stay here and endure the Heavenly Thunderbolts.” Ou Yangming forced a smile.

The big yellow dog widened its eyes and stared at him dumbfoundedly.

“Uhm, a senior once told me that it’s a rare opportunity too. If I can withstand the Heavenly Thunderbolts in this world and break through, I’ll gain unimaginable benefits in the future. I was convinced by him, so I’d like to give it a go,” Ou Yangming expressed. Big Yellow was clearly appalled. ‘Isn’t that… A suicidal move?’

Even the Multi-armed King Kong said that it dared not suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Thunderbolts because it would likely end up in a tragedy.

“Big Yellow, we won’t be able to do it if we simply resist the punishment with our bodies, but…” Ou Yangming grinned and patted his chest. “Don’t forget—I’m the greatest blacksmith in this world!”

The big yellow dog’s eyes gleamed, then it opened its mouth and spat out pieces of equipment. Following that, only by looking at them, the pieces of equipment rose and were automatically fitted on its body.

“Are those magic tools?” Multi-armed King Kong exclaimed. Big Yellow cast a sidelong glance at it as though it was saying, ‘What’s the fuss? You’re so shallow!’

In actual fact, the big yellow dog was elated because there were definitely very few things that could shock Multi-armed King Kong.

Ou Yangming gently touched the magic tools on the big yellow dog and was pleased. The magic tools were-collectively—the greatest manifestation of his abilities for the time being. If he wanted to advance further, perhaps it would only be possible if he entered the so-called upper realm.

Multi-armed King Kong suddenly asked, “Master, did you smith these pieces of equipment?”

Yes.” Ou Yangming grinned. “Why? Do you want them too?”

The giant beast’s eyes glowed at once, and it flattered the young fellow. “Master, don’t you want me to go on an expedition? I’ll be eye-catching if I have such an equipment set, and I won’t embarrass you for sure!”

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Is this why you’re begging me?”

Multi-armed King Kong smiled embarrassedly. “Master, we’re talking about a full equipment set comprising magic tools. If you can smith a set of thunderbolt-proof ones, we’ll be able to endure the Heavenly Thunderbolts even if we don’t go to the upper realm.”

“Thunderbolt-proof?” Ou Yangming was moved.

If he could really smith something like that, they would not need to worry at all.

Despite that, he had never encountered such an attribute, so where could he look from?

Multi-armed King Kong blinked and expressed shyly, “Master, I know a bit.”

Ou Yangming was surprised. “What?”

“I know a bit of the Thunder Technique.”

“Oh? Show me.”

Multi-armed King Kong was hesitant. “Master, if I use it, I’ll surely trigger substantial universe’s spiritual powers, and the world’s origin would be observing me.”

Ou Yangming frowned and said, “Don’t worry. If I’m able to comprehend the Thunder Technique, I’ll smith an equipment set for you accordingly.”

The giant beast was overjoyed. “Thank you, Master.”

Subsequently, it straightened its body and raised all its arms above its head, then it started to draw a rune in the air. Ou Yangming and Big Yellow tensed up right away because they sensed an intense pressure gathering above them.

It only took a brief moment before the sky was covered in a layered cloud as dark as ink. That said, white flashes were seen as thunders roared…
