Lao Boyi frowned and waved his hand. “Master Ou must’ve been tired after coming a long way. Please help him go to get some rest.”
Several Supreme Great Ancestors exchanged glances, then they approached Ou Yangming from different directions.
Jiang Jiumei had a solemn expression, but her eyes were calm. After receiving her suit, she became confident about protecting her elder brother.
However, the great ancestors suddenly stopped and looked behind Ou Yangming in fear.
A giant yellow figure had come out. It was the big yellow dog. It released a threatening aura, which was so intense that it suppressed the other people even though it was inferior to Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk.
“The peak…” Lao Boyi turned pale and mumbled.
‘A half-spirit beast at the peak. If it goes mad…’ The other people shuddered with fear.
At the spur of the moment, Bai Shixue’s dull voice was heard. “General Lao, is Great Ancestor Dong a mental power cultivator?”
Lao Boyi looked coldly at her. “Young Pavilion Master, why are you asking the obvious? How many mental power cultivators are there among the Humans?” “Oh, since he’s not one, why can he go up against Ou Yangming’s mental power?” Bai Shixue’s laughter was moving, but she sounded scary the longer she laughed. “If I may ask, when did Great Ancestor Dong start to cultivate mental power?” General Lao and the others were struck dumb. They turned to look at Dong Haoxian.
They were not mental power cultivators, but they had exceptional will powers since they had become great ancestors. Given their cultivations of willpower had merged with their bodies, they could sense the existence of mental powers.
Hence, they immediately noticed something after Bai Shixue reminded them.
The Supreme Great Ancestors looked at each other in shock.
Before long, the people surrounding Ou Yangming had slowly dispersed, and they quietly shifted toward Dong Haoxian instead.
They thought about a legend, but the thought of it was enough to make them quiver.
After a brief moment, they heard Dong Haoxian let out a weird sound, which was similar to an insect’s cry. He was seen holding his head with both hands, and he looked so hideous that it was a terrifying sight.
Lao Boyi’s face twitched as he uttered, “Parasite!”
Chapter 443 - Mental Power Fluctuation
Chapter 443 Mental Power Fluctuation
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!
Chapter 444 - Sharing Power
Ou Yangming’s mental power surged like a monstrous wave in his sea of consciousness. It was as though the milky way had plunged from the sky and would overturn the word.
The crystal ball, the purple Military Fire, and even the Devouring power were eager for action.
Ou Yangming knew he could convert the spirit insect’s substantial mental power to his own at any time if he was willing to. This was because he possessed the Devouring attribute, which would simplify the process for him.
Moreover, whether he devoured the insect’s remaining mental power only or consumed its crystal ball as well, he could take the most crucial step to break through the 100-mark for his mental power.
Nonetheless, if he decided to do that, he would immediately be faced with Heaven and Earth’s repulsive force—the Heavenly Thunderbolt, which had just been performed by Multi-armed King Kong earlier.
Although Ou Yangming was extremely sure of himself, confidence did not mean arrogance. At the very least, he was unwilling to deal with the Heavenly Thunderbolt before he smithed appropriate pieces of thunderbolt-proof equipment.
Therefore, Ou Yangming was doing his best to curb the surging mental power in his sea of consciousness at the moment. He wanted to get rid of it in a certain way.
If other mental power cultivators knew what Ou Yangming was planning to do, they would certainly be envious and would loathe him. After all, mental power was highly desired by those cultivators, but the young fellow was trying to avoid it.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming sensed two other mental conceptions entering his sea of consciousness.
He was surprised and overjoyed when he sensed the two conceptions, but he was also deeply moved.
Ou Yangming was very familiar with the mental conceptions, hence he identified their owners as soon as they appeared.
There was a huge disparity between his mental power and that of Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong, to the extent that they were almost Heaven and Earth apart. Nevertheless, given that the young ladies were also mental power cultivators, they naturally knew the state he was in and were aware of the immense danger if they were to enter his sea of consciousness.
Even so, the ladies decided to enter.
The intense feeling that gushed to Ou Yangming’s mind was simply indescribable. Despite that, he instantly welcomed the two mental conceptions. As their conceptions interlaced, they began to exchange information with each other.
Ou Yangming was informed about the situation on the wall. Honestly, he was not worried because he knew Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk would not look on without helping if the protectors around him encountered an unsolvable crisis.
At the very least, nothing in the city could stop the two spirit beasts.
Similarly, Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong soon found out about Ou Yangming’s situation. They were delighted by the outcome and were in awe of the mental power that he possessed.
He was a step away from breaking through the world’s limit.
In other words, while Ou Yangming’s martial art cultivation base was only at the peak of Yang Grade, his mental power was so great that he could resist a Supreme Great Ancestor at the peak of Extreme Grade.
The three of them did not need to communicate through words at all because they seemed to have become one due to the integration of their mental powers.
At the spur of the moment, a bold idea crossed Ou Yangming’s mind.
The Devouring attribute in his sea of consciousness turned into a large mouth and devoured the insect’s residual mental power as if it was a bottomless hole.
Even though the insect was only a cl
one, its mental power was not inferior to Ou Yangming’s at all. This was the miracle when one’s mental power exceeded the 100-points mark, and it was far from what could be compared by someone that had never crossed the barrier.
After a brief moment, the devoured mental power was released again.
The mental power had been converted after it was devoured, thus it no longer carried the spirit insect’s mark. It was almost like the agglomerated crystal ball as it became the purest power in the world.
Any mental power cultivator would be incredibly attracted by the power. Through their merged mental conceptions, Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong understood Ou Yangming’s intention right away.
The two beautiful ladies, who were sitting with their legs crossed beside Ou Yangming on the wall, smiled faintly.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. The young ladies knew if they accepted the gift, they would have unbreakable relationships with Ou Yangming. That said, they did not hesitate at all, so they quickly absorbed the pure mental power into their spiritual worlds.
Peculiar spiritual fluctuations were released from their bodies. The massive mental power, which should have been absorbed or repelled by Ou Yangming, ended up being transferred to their spiritual worlds.
Without Ou Yangming’s Devouring power, the spirit insect’s marks could not have been erased, and the young ladies would have been in dangerous spots if they absorbed the mental power. Now that they were taking in the purest form of mental power, even if there was a causal connection, it would be related to Ou Yangming. As for the spirit insect…
The moment the Devouring attribute appeared, the enormous mental power no longer had anything to do with it.
Eventually, the surging mental power in Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness subsided. There was only such an intense agitation because of the insect’s mental power, so everything went back to normal once the extra power was slowly digested by Wu Hanning and Ni Yinghong.
Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and opened his eyes, which were shining in strange lusters.
