Immortal Path to Heaven

“Th-this…” The Eight-armed Giant Beast’s muscles twitched. For a few times, it wanted to charge out, but when it thought about the little bird on its head, it felt cold as though a bucket of cold water was poured down from its head.

Nonetheless, it widened its huge and fierce eyes and stared ahead. The Humans’ city appeared to be a detestable place to it, and it hated the tiny cultivators to their bones.

On the other hand, the little bird was excited after watching what happened. It remarked with a laugh, “This human’s quite interesting for being able to utilize the Illusion Art in this way. It’s such a pity that he was born in this world…”

The Eight-armed Giant Beast expressed, “This human must die!”

“You can kill him but only if you make the fight more intense such that they’re well-matched so the Sky-devouring Evil Remnant will be drawn here.” The little bird was not bothered.

“Yes, sir.” The Eight-armed Giant Beast lowered its head.

It later looked up and gave a special order.

The ferocious beasts outside the prefecture were stunned when they heard the sound, but they soon gripped their dead comrades with their teeth and swarmed back to where they came from. Needless to say, the three humongous creatures were abandoned on the battlefield.

After all, the three giant beasts’ bodies were too huge. Unless the Eight-armed Giant Beast made a move, they could not be carried away at all.

Seeing as the beasts outside the city retreated like a tide, the people on the walls looked at each other. When someone cheered all of a sudden, it was so contagious that the other people began to follow suit.

Genuine smiles were seen on everyone’s faces. When the Earthly Dragon Beasts showed up earlier, the people were in despair.

This was because the three giant beasts exceeded the Humans’ capability to resist. Even when almost all Supreme Great Ancestors from the city left to fight, the other people did not feel assured at all.

It was when Ou Yangming and the reinforcements appeared there was a radical change in the situation.

In particular, the Earthly Dragon Beasts suddenly went mad, where they trampled on the beast herd and killed each other in the end. The outcome was unexpected, but it gave everyone hope again.

On the city walls and behind them, countless people jumped with joy and embraced each other. They also wielded their weapons to express their delight for having survived the disaster.

Although they did not fight at close quarters with their enemies, they had the same feeling from watching the fight from the walls. Given that the people on the walls were already feeling that way, the ones around the three massive creatures, especially the great ancestors from the prefecture, felt more deeply about it. They were in disbelief when they looked at the three carcasses. Elder Universe finally sighed after a long time. He looked away and expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, everyone.”

Ni Jingshen and the other people felt like they had just awakened from their dreams. They quickly thanked the Supreme Great Ancestors, who had come to help.

Woo Lejia and the other great ancestors from the capital knew very well who the elders were and how close they were with Ou Yangming. They dared not be conceited at all, so they humbly returned the salutations.

On the other hand, Wu Hanning had stopped and put Ou Yangming on the ground.

Ou Yangming panted heavily and was still pale, giving him a poor complexion. It would not be too much of a burden if he performed the Simulated Spiritual Fist under normal circumstances, but it was completely different if he paid it with the Charm Arm Guard and used them against gigantic creatures like Earthly Dragon Beasts.

Wu Hanning retrieved a jade bottle and poured out a pill, which she sent to Ou Yangming’s mouth.

The young fellow looked at her before he opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

It was just a simple act where the princess fed him a pill, but it was clear that there was an unordinary relationship between them.

Nevertheless, the great ancestors including the anxious ancestors from the Ni family turned a blind eye.

Ni Jingshen later cleared his throat and stated, “Gentlemen, your weapons…”

The Supreme Great Ancestors from the prefecture pricked up their ears and looked at the weapons eagerly.

When they previously fought together and noticed something unusual, they could not talk about right away because the fight was intense. The great ancestors from the capital were not slick enough when they fought the three Earthly Dragon Beasts, but their weapons left deep impressions. Given that they were able to break the dragon beasts’ defenses, they had to be magic tools.

It would not be surprising if there were one or two magic tools.

Since Ou Yangming could smith three magic tools, it would make sense that he could smith three more.

However, if each of the 26 Supreme Great Ancestors had a magic tool, it would be too shocking

Woo Lejia chuckled and responded, “Our weapons are all magic tools.” “Magic tools—they’re magic tools indeed…”

The great ancestors from the prefecture exchanged glances and were envious, but most of them looked at Ou Yangming in confusion.

‘Did Master Ou Yangming smith these magic tools?’

‘But how could he have smithed so many magic tools on his own? They’re magic tools, after all…’

Woo Lejia laughed out loud as if he perceived their thoughts. “Gentlemen, frankly speaking, the magic tools were smithed by Master Ou, who even finished them in three days!”

“What?”

This time, even Elder Universe was shaken.

‘He smithed 26 magic tools in three days?’ Everyone looked at Woo Lejia strangely at that instant.

‘We’re not that knowledgeable, but don’t try to fool us!’

Chen Yixian cleared his throat and said, “Brother Woo was right; Brother Ou had indeed smithed these magic tools in three days. In fact, he completed them in his carriage because he wanted to save time.”

The Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors looked at each other with bitter smiles.

When Ou Yangming smithed the first magic tool in the Ni family, they knew the young fellow achieved an unreachable level of attainment in smithing art.

After not seeing him for several months, he seemed to have made an amazing improvement. The smithing of magic tools had become as easy as eating or drinking to him.

Elder Universe sighed and nodded at the great ancestors. “Everyone from Changlong County is incredibly grateful that you’ve come all the way to help us, and I thank you on their behalf.”

Following that, he, Ni Jingshen, and the other Supreme Great Ancestors who survived bowed at the powerhouses from the capital. They did it from the bottom of their hearts without being half-hearted at all.

Woo Lejia and the others were taken aback, so they immediately dodged. “Sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Master Ou was the one who arranged everything, and we only followed his instructions.”

Elder Universe and the others were startled. ‘Following his instructions? Is Ou Yangming a reputable figure to Supreme Great Ancestors?’

“We were invited by Brother Ou to come to help, but we’re not the only ones. Hehe, 74 more Supreme Great Ancestors will arrive soon,” Woo Lejia added. “What?” Elder Universe shook his head and questioned, “How many?”

The other great ancestors were agitated, and the looks in their eyes were unpredictable. If they had not just been helped by the powerhouses from the capital, they would have mocked them already. ’74 more Supreme Great Ancestors?’

‘Including the lot of you, aren’t there 100 Supreme Great Ancestors in total?’ ‘What do you think great ancestors are? Chinese cabbages from wholesale markets?’ Woo Lejia smiled and noted, “There are 100 Supreme Great Ancestors in total.”

“100…”

Elder Universe and the others fell silent. They had extremely odd looks on their faces.

When Ou Yangming finally caught his breath and looked at the three huge creatures, he commented, “It was so hard to deal with the three fellas!”

“They’re creatures from the upper realm, so they’re naturally difficult opponents. You were able to succeed because you triggered them to kill each other,” Wu Hanning explained and added, “Our world isn’t like the upper realm where there’s abundant Heaven and Earth’s spiritual power, thus they need to consume sufficient food to manage their consumptions, but they were too severely injured just now. Perhaps it wouldn’t be a big issue in the upper realm because they’ll recover after some rest, but suffering such injuries in our world will only mean death for them.”

Ou Yangming and the others were dumbfounded, but they nodded after that.

Even Elder Universe came to a sudden realization that the Earthly Dragon Beasts in the past disasters were not killed by Thunderballs. They had only died because they were too injured to survive in this world.

Wu Hanning asked in a serious tone, “Earthly Dragon Beasts appeared in the past too, but each time, there was only one. Why were there three of them today?”

Elder Universe smiled bitterly. “We have no idea either; the three of them emerged at the same time.”

Wu Hanning nodded and said, “Brother Ou, I’m afraid that spirit beast that descended this time won’t be an easy match.”

Ou Yangming curled his lips and sneered. “No matter what it is, since it’s here, it better not leave!”

The other people began to feel hopeful when they sensed Ou Yangming’s strong confidence and aura.

Perhaps the young fellow, who brought 100 great ancestors here with him, was powerful enough.

Everyone became more determined when they looked at the three Earthly Dragon Beasts’ hill-sized carcasses.

“This war… Isn’t over yet for us!’
