Chapter 1118: 1118

Chapter 1118: Enormous Body

Plenty of thunderbolts flickered. The Bloodthirsty Insects on the ground screamed in pain but only their kind could understand those shrieks.

Ou Yangming ran at full speed. Sparks and lightning flashed along the way. There were no Bloodthirsty Insects around him. Even if there were, they would all turn into ashes.

“Faster, faster.”

Ou Yangming was very fast. He had turned into an afterimage. He ran in the direction that he was calling out to in his heart.

The energies in the Lightning Bead were hard to predict. Ou Yangming did not know how long he could hold on. If they extinguished halfway through…

It was worth noting that the Bloodthirsty Insects that were originally ferocious were not fearless. When they saw Ou Yangming charging over with lightning, they also ran far away.

Without any obstructions, Ou Yangming quickly passed through the sea of insects. The power of the Lightning Sword in his hand also gradually decreased. Finally, when the thunderbolts were about to extinguish, he finally found the direction of the entrance. It was a greyish-brown stone door, and it was slowly opening.

The lightning became silent. Rustling sounds were heard once again. Ou Yangming withdrew the Lightning Sword and took out the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer.

At this time, the stone door was about to open. As long as he entered, he would be able to get rid of these insects.

The Bloodthirsty Insects were very fast. Not only had Ou Yangming escaped from their hands once, but he had also killed many of their companions. The new and old hatred added together, and all the insects wished they could eat this human clean.

Without the threat from the thunderbolts, the Bloodthirsty Insects had lost their fear. In the blink of an eye, 7 or 8 of them rushed over.

Ou Yangming held the Blood Spear Dragon Slayer in his hand. He attacked them one by one and forced them all to retreat. He did not fight with all his might. After all, it was very troublesome to kill these Bloodthirsty Insects. If he chased them away, he could just wait until the stone door opened.

There were many insects. Wave after wave of insects rushed over. Ou Yangming fought back with all his might, but it was also somewhat difficult to deal with them. Each wave had more insects than the previous wave. The young fellow’s physical strength was being consumed bit by bit.

If it was a long battle, he would not be a match for these Bloodthirsty Insects and might be tortured to death. Nevertheless, it was different now. He only needed to wait for a few seconds.

The stone door did not seem to be in a hurry. It could not sense that someone outside was suffering from a terrifying encirclement. After a long while, it opened up to fit a person.

“Damn insects, I’ll be leaving first.” Ou Yangming laughed and turned around to enter. Even so, the moment he turned around, a red Bloodthirsty Insect broke through the air, and the sharp sickle in its hand was slashed at the young fellow’s head.

All of a sudden, an immensely dangerous feeling appeared. This feeling was even more fearsome than when Ou Yangming faced a powerhouse like Feng Tian.

Ou Yangming saw a red figure from the corner of his eye. The Wutong Tree’s words flashed through his mind as he quickly turned around.

The Blood Spear Dragon Slayer let out a roar.

“Heaven’s Burial”

The long spear in his hand let out a crazy roar as a black shadow faintly appeared on it.

Boom!

The Blood Spear Dragon Slayer and the sickle in the red Bloodthirsty Insect’s hand collided. With the help of this force, Ou Yangming quickly entered the hole. The arm that he was holding the Dragon Slayer with was slightly trembling, and he almost lost control of the weapon in his hand.

That move from the red Bloodthirsty Insect just now was so powerful!

In terms of physical strength, Ou Yangming knew that he could not be compared to this red Bloodthirsty Insect at all. He was glad that this insect came at the last moment. Otherwise, he might not have had the chance to enter the door. He only had 1 Lightning Bead, which meant that he only had one chance.

“Luckily, I succeeded.”

The Bloodthirsty Insects outside the door let out ear-piercing sounds. They looked at the plain door. There seemed to be something frightening inside. They lingered outside, but none of them dared to approach the stone door. Even the red Bloodthirsty Insect was the same.

After a while, the door slowly closed again. The red Bloodthirsty Insect looked in the direction of the door and let out strange cries unwillingly.

The Bloodthirsty Insects in the surroundings dispersed one by one.

This place was not a place they could enter. Every Bloodthirsty Insect knew how terrifying the place was.

“Plop.”

With a thud, Ou Yangming sat on the ground. The inertia from before was too great, and even he could not stabilize his body.

Ou Yangming raised his head, his eyes filled with excitement. “What’s this place? The treasure that the flame giant spoke of—could it be here?”

The young fellow clearly remembered that the flame giant said that he could obtain the treasure after passing the next stage. The Bloodthirsty Insects must be the next stage that the flame giant was talking about. In other words, there should not be any danger here.

Ou Yangming still carefully observed his surroundings.

This seemed to be a secret room. The surroundings were empty, and there was nothing special. Ou Yangming quickly looked through the entire room, but he could not find anything.

“Didn’t he say there was a treasure here? Why is there nothing here?” Ou Yangming looked around but did not find anything.

He thought, ‘Could it be that someone came early and took the treasure away?

‘It can’t be. If someone took the treasure away, the flame giant would surely know. Since he said those words to me, it means that the treasure is still there.’

Ou Yangming searched once again. He even knocked on every wall to see if there was anything behind them.

He still did not find anything.

“Did I see a ghost?” Ou Yangming sat on the ground. He looked a little disappointed. After all, he had spent so much effort to come here, but he found nothing. Such a blow was too unbearable.

He raised his head and suddenly saw the big stone in front of him. This stone was no different from an ordinary stone. It was plain, which made him ignore it. He did not think that there was any necessary connection between the stone and the treasure.

However, he had searched everywhere and had even knocked on the walls twice, but he still did not find anything. As such, he began to size up the stone.

“Could this be the treasure?”

Ou Yangming stood up again and knocked on the stone twice, but there was still no change. At the spur of the moment, he had an idea and used the Long Feather Band to keep the stone.

This was just a small test because Lil’ Red had told him that high-level treasures could not be put into pieces of low-level interspatial equipment.

The test really made Ou Yangming realize the problem. This seemingly ordinary stone could not be stored in the Long Feather Band indeed.

What did this mean? This meant that this stone was not ordinary.

Lights flashed in Ou Yangming’s eyes. He became spirited. The stone was definitely a good thing, so he had to study it carefully.

“Appraisal Art.”

A light flashed, but it was useless.

The Appraisal Art had no effect on the stone.

Ou Yangming was not discouraged. He knocked on the stone again and even released the Phoenix Fire to burn it.

The Phoenix Fire was the top flame in the Great Wide World. Even a small world could be burned. Despite that, on this small stone, it actually lost its effect.

This made Ou Yangming even more excited. Something that even the Phoenix Fire could not do anything about was certainly not an ordinary object. Having said that, what did this have to do with his opportunity to break through to become a Ruler?

Ou Yangming could not understand. Just as he was about to think of another way to appraise this stone, the stone in front of him shook.

The young fellow moved to the side vigilantly. He rubbed his eyes. He was sure that he had not seen wrongly just now. The stone moved. Could it be that it was still alive?

His mind was in a mess, and he suddenly noticed that the stone was releasing waves of green smoke. These green smoke gathered above the stone and got into the form of a human.

What was strange was that the human had all 4 limbs but no head.

Ou Yangming was shocked and hurriedly said, “Senior, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you were here. Sorry to disturb you.”

An eye popped out of the headless figure’s stomach. He looked at Ou Yangming and nodded, “The bloodlines of the Dragons and the Phoenixes. You even scratched the surface of the law of time. Not bad, not bad…”

“Senior, you’re?” Ou Yangming was shocked. The other party had seen through him with just one look.

“You don’t know me?” The headless figure was a bit surprised as if it was rare for someone to not know him.

“Are you a great god?” Ou Yangming was secretly nervous. He said sincerely, “Senior, I’ve just entered the Great Wide World from the lower realm, so I don’t know much about this place.”

“No wonder, no wonder…”

The headless figure revealed an understanding look. It was normal for people from the lower realm to not know him. He said, “Fella, since you came here, it means that we’re fated. My name is Xing Tian!”

“Xing Tian!” Ou Yangming remembered this name in his heart. He did not know what this name represented in the Great Wide World.

If Lil’ Red heard this name, even if he had thickened nerves, he would be scared to death because this was an incredibly fearsome existence.

Even in ancient times, where powerhouses and mighty figures were numerous, people would shudder when they heard this name.

Xing Tian was the god of war, who could destroy Heaven and Earth and was invincible in the world.

The title was not bestowed by anyone but was earned through fighting in seas of blood. Unfortunately, in front of Ou Yangming, who had come from the lower realm, even the ancient heavenly emperor would not mean anything because the young fellow was clueless.

“Senior Xing Tian, is this stone your body?” Ou Yangming asked somewhat strangely.

“Hahaha.”

Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, the illusory figure in the sky laughed loudly. The eye on his stomach looked around, and the figure asked, “Young fella, don’t you know where you are?”

Ou Yangming was a little confused. He asked, “Am I not in the Rebirth Cave?”

“From the first step you took here, you’ve been on my body,” the illusory figure in the sky said.

“What?!” Ou Yangming did not understand at first, but his expression quickly turned aghast. He was already on the figure’s body the moment he stepped foot here. Did that not mean… The young fellow thought of the towering mountain outside, and he could not be more shocked.
