Inside a spiritual world, two notable conceptions were having a fearsome life-or-death battle.

In the sky and far away from the city, the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong had been watching for a long time, but they were indifferent.

They naturally paid attention to the situation because their souls were connected with Ou Yangming's. If their master died, they would not be able to survive too. However, they were confident in him because he could easily finish off the insect if he utilized that power.

Needless to say, before that, if he could gain some experience from fighting against the insect's mental conception, why not?

The goshawk and the king kong only hoped that their master could control himself and would not go overboard.

"Boom, boom, boom…"

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows because he sensed the enormous pressure.

The insect had extraordinary mental power, but it was not as mighty because it was merely a clone. Given that this was Ou Yangming's home ground, the insect was actually inferior to him in terms of strength only. Despite that, it was superior to him in terms of the control and usage of mental power, which seemed to have come alive under its control.

At times, the insect's mental power assembled and became as heavy as a hammer, which was swung down at Ou Yangming. Nevertheless, once the young fellow was ready to face it, it scattered and snuck attacks as if they were omnipresent stars.

The distribution of power was very dangerous as it could end up being eliminated one by one. In spite of that, the insect's mental power was scattered but closely connected. Ou Yangming was deeply troubled by yet also rather envious of its ability to break up its mental power into parts but could still gather them at any time.

Inside the spiritual world, time could not be measured at all.

They had exchanged countless blows in a short period, but it felt like it had lasted since the beginning of the world.

Their mental powers were slowly beginning to be exhausted, but Ou Yangming was surprised that the insect was better at recovering and saving its mental power.

Inside the spiritual world that he constructed, it was worth mentioning that his mental power was supported by something mighty. Theoretically, he would gain the upper hand in a battle of attrition.

Having said that, in reality, he was the first to feel that he might not be able to hold on any longer.

Although Ou Yangming did not want to admit it, he understood the wonders of having mental power above 100 points. It was akin to how the poorest magic tool could still crush an ordinary tool because the two had completely different natures.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and immediately began to withdraw his mental power. He opened up his sea of consciousness.

With that, the insect's mental power entered his sea of consciousness without any hesitation.

It was a rare opportunity for an insect. Even if it shattered the illusion created by Ou Yangming and destroyed the spiritual world, it had only broken one of his tricks.

On the other hand, if the insect could use the opportunity to invade Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness, it could get rid of his mental conception and take over. In that case, the young fellow would disappear from this world and would be replaced by the insect's consciousness.

It was a seizing method. Even if the insect might not succeed in the end, it had to kill the superb human powerhouse no matter what.

The Insects never feared ordinary cultivators among the Humans, but they were quite afraid of mental power cultivators. Therefore, the insect would not mind sacrificing a clone if it could get rid of Ou Yangming before he became more powerful.

Moreover, the insect had recognized Ou Yangming. When it thought about the power inside his power, its consciousness underwent an intense and uncontrollable fluctuation.

If it could seize the power, even the Insects' biggest boss would treat it with different respect.

That said, just as the insect successfully entered Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness and wanted to exterminate him from within without holding back, it noticed something.

It was a clear crystal ball, and it simply floated in the center of Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness.

The crystal ball released tempting energy, causing the spirit insect to be attracted at once.

"Devouring Crystal! It's the Devouring Crystal! How can you have a treasure like this?" The insect's voice echoed in Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness. It sounded elated, and it was screaming as though it wanted to vent its uncontrollable emotion.

Subsequently, the substantial mental power pounced at the crystal ball.

It could not resist the item at all.

Nonetheless, just as the insect's mental power was near the crystal ball, a purple fire burned without warning.

The flame appeared so strangely that there were no signs beforehand at all. The moment it burned, Ou Yangming's sea of consciousness was entirely filled with it.

As a result, the insect's mental power was burned, and it could not resist the fire like firewood being burned by a raging fire.

The insect's mental conception let out a shrill cry. It knew Ou Yangming had the mysterious energy inside his body, but it did not think it was hidden deep inside his sea of consciousness and could also be used there.

Burned by the purple Military Fire, the lizard's consciousness and power came to a dead-end and eventually ruptured.

However, before its conception disappeared, there was something that it could not figure out.

'How can this power be hidden in a sea of consciousness? Is this human really the reincarnation of that superb powerhouse?'

It did not know that Ou Yangming acquired the power when he obtained the Military Fire. At that time, the young fellow had already become one with the fire.

If that was not the case, the power could not have existed in a foreign body at all because any living being that profaned the power would be burned into ashes and vanish.

Dong Haoxian howled in grief as he held his head atop the world, but he soon collapsed to his knees. The great ancestor was still breathing, but it was clear through his rolled eyes that he likely could not survive.

Wu Hanning sighed out of the blue and left the crowd, then she stabbed her sword into Dong Haoxian's head.

Many people were taken aback upon seeing this.

Even though Wu Hanning was the princess, Dong Haoxiang was a Supreme Great Ancestor from the city, after all. If she killed a great ancestor just like that, was she not afraid that the other people would revolt due to indignation?

Nevertheless, the other Supreme Great Ancestors and several people, who had heard of the rumor, had ghastly looks on their faces.

They were not surprised by Wu Hanning's act because they would have done the same if they were in her shoes.

Another flash of sword-light was seen, causing Dong Haoxian's head to be slashed. Following that, a horrid tiny insect was seen on the sword tip. The insect looked incredibly odd as it looked like a two-legged lizard that had been shrunk many times. It was dead on the sword tip.

Exclamations were heard on the wall as the ordinary soldiers finally found out the reason behind everything.

They looked fearfully at the tiny two-legged lizard.

"Humph—"

Ou Yangming suddenly grunted. He began bleeding from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Two figures flashed toward him right away. They were Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong.

The two ladies looked at each other. Though they usually controlled their feelings, they cast aside their concerns when Ou Yangming seemed to be in grave danger.

Bai Shixue slowly walked over to them and stood next to Jiang Jiumei.

Wu Hanning noted after a brief moment, "His mental power is fluctuating too much, and it seems like he'll lose control soon.

Ni Yinghong nodded. "Yes. I'll help him recover his mental power or the consequence will be unbearable once he loses control of his mental power."

"You can't do it alone." Wu Hanning stared at her with bright eyes.

They were aware that Ou Yangming's mental power was unusually remarkable, and he was in immense danger as he was on the verge of losing control.

Ni Yinghong became an expert in mental power cultivation after she received her clan's inheritance from the secret realm, but she was far from Ou Yangming because she was only cultivated for a short period. As such, the young lady would likely die if she helped the young fellow recover his mental power.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Your Highness, please help me."

"Okay," Wu Hanning responded without any hesitation.

"Your Highness, you mustn't!" Yu Jinshuang and Lao Boyi shouted at the same time. The other Supreme Great Ancestors were in shock too.

The world of mental powers was not a place for fun. Very few people in that world were gifted with mental power, and it was extremely rare to find one that had successfully cultivated it.

Everyone knew it was exceptionally dangerous to help a cultivator as such recover his mental power.

If anything went wrong, the three of them might even perish together.

Putting aside Ou Yangming and Ni Yinghong, Her Royal Highness must not take the risk no matter what.

Even so, Wu Hanning turned to look coldly at the other people.

She expressed her strong killing intent through her eyes.

'I'll kill anyone that stops me!'

The air above the wall seemed to have frozen at this instant as every Supreme Great Ancestor sensed her determination and killing intent. As such, even the boldest person dared not make a sound at all.

Wu Hanning reached out her hand and said, "Come."

Ni Yinghong nodded and held her hand.

The two female mental power cultivators put aside their prejudice against each other and joined hands whole-heartedly.

This was because they knew this was the only way they could succeed, and they were willing to pay any price for the person in front of them!
