Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘A stone that can heal itself?’

Ou Yangming looked at the stone door disappointedly. He had never thought that this stone door could heal itself.

What was this?

He had originally planned to crack it open through the years, but now the change of the stone had messed up his plan.

It was true that constant efforts could bring success, but what if the stone could heal itself? Even if one worked hard for 100,000 years, one would not be able to complete this task.

Ou Yangming retracted his Reincarnation Spear and panted heavily.

In just a short while, the stone door had become exactly the same as before.

“No wonder the 2 white dots from before disappeared.” Ou Yangming looked at the stone door weakly, and the hope in his heart shattered once again.

Time was limited. He had to think of other ways. Ou Yangming was in a dilemma. He had reached the peak in every aspect. It was very difficult for him to break through.

Now, all the Dripping Blood Stones he had had been completely fused.

He had used up all the Ancient Demons’ blood essences. It was obvious that he had the heart but not the strength to continue improving his physical quality.

His law powers were also stuck at bottlenecks. If he did not have an instant comprehension or fortuitous encounter, it was almost impossible to break through to the third step.

In that case, there was only one thing left…

The Supreme Spear Principle.

There were still 2 moves left to be comprehended from the peerless cultivation technique.

This seemed to be the most reliable method at the moment.

Ou Yangming was immersed in his sea of spirit. After he began to use Earth’s Demolition, the subsequent cultivation techniques had appeared in his mind a few times vaguely. He recalled it carefully.

His heart was as still as water as he sat cross-legged on the ground.

A middle-aged man in white gradually appeared in his mind. This void appeared in his mind all the time. He could not see, touch, or grasp it.

Ou Yangming observed the man’s every move.

This third move actually had a hint of the law of space in it. These images had flashed in his mind a few times before but at that time, he had not come into contact with the law of space, so he could not understand it at all.

‘A little clearer, a little clearer!’

Ou Yangming merged with his mental power and concentrated on thinking.

Unfortunately, that scene was still very blurry. He could only see a blurry figure and could not feel the terror of the move from the side.

This was because of the Enlightenment Pavilion. The Enlightenment Pavilion had a bonus effect on all kinds of comprehensions. If it were any other place, he would not even be able to summon these miraculous scenes.

Ou Yangming opened his eyes, and the images in his mind instantly disappeared.

“Oh right, Dragon Fragrant Pills!”

Ou Yangming took out a large amount of Dragon Fragrant Herbs from his Long Feather Band.

Having tasted the sweetness of the Dragon Fragrant Pill in the Ancient Demons’ ruins, Ou Yangming remembered it in his heart. When he was exchanging for treasures, apart from the materials that were required for the Golden Pills, he also exchanged for a lot of Dragon Fragrant Herbs and Icicle Flowers.

These two items were good things. Ou Yangming had used them twice and each time, he had gained a lot.

He did as he was told.

Ou Yangming did not hesitate and took out the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron again. He had long been very familiar with refining pills.

In just 3 days, the jade bottle in Ou Yangming’s hand contained dozens of Dragon Fragrant Pills.

Ou Yangming picked up a Dragon Fragrant Pill and put it into his mouth. The Dragon Fragrant Pill was extremely sweet, and it melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into streams of clear current flowing in his body.

He concentrated, and the scene in his mind gradually became clear. Only then did he realize that there were 2 people in the starry sky. One was an old acquaintance holding a long spear, and the other was a monster with monstrous demonic Qi.

Even though Ou Yangming knew that it was fake, he was still shocked by the monster.

The monster’s body was filled with pure demonic Qi. Compared to it, the Ancient Demon King in the ruins was nothing.

This should be a battle between a man and a beast.

Ou Yangming observed carefully, not wanting to miss a single detail.

The monster roared, and the stars in the surroundings seemed to darken. It opened its mouth and pounced at the white-clothed middle-aged man like a madman.

Nonetheless, at this moment, the scene in Ou Yangming’s mind suddenly stopped.

Ou Yangming’s eyes widened. He hurriedly took out a Dragon Fragrant Pill and put it into his mouth, and the scene in his mind became clear again. Even so, the scene at this moment was that the monster with monstrous demonic Qi was turned into pieces bit by bit before disappearing into the starry sky.

‘The battle ended just like that?’ Ou Yangming did not look good. He had missed the most crucial part.

‘Damn it!’

Ou Yangming cursed internally. He hurriedly took out 3 Dragon Fragrant Pills again and swallowed them in one gulp.

Fortunately, that scene did not only appear once. When Ou Yangming immersed in his sea of spirit again, the scene appeared once more. The monster with monstrous demonic Qi also pounced in the direction of the white-clothed middle-aged man.

Ou Yangming became nervous. It was at this moment that the scene was stopped earlier.

In the void, the white-clothed middle-aged man smiled and held the long spear tightly in his hand.

Suddenly, his aura became sharp.

He gently flicked his spear, and a golden light appeared on it. The moment the light appeared, it pierced through the air and appeared in front of the monster.

Boom! The monster exploded in the air, and its body turned into spots of light, disappearing into the air one by one. Its huge body turned into nothingness.

“This move is Nothingness!”

Ou Yangming’s heart jolted. That long spear was clearly still in the hands of the white-robed middle-aged man, yet he had killed a monster that was separated from him by endless space and time. What kind of power was that?

‘If I learned this move, wouldn’t I be able to kill people from another continent in the Great Wide World, or kill people from another world?’

This time, Ou Yangming saw it clearly.

Despite that, the strength of this move lay in one’s ability to cross boundaries and kill. It probably would not be very effective for breaking through that huge stone door.

The power of the Nothingness move was very great. It could even be used to kill such a terrifying monster in one move. Having said that, that would depend on who used it. Putting everything else aside, if the man in Ou Yangming’s mind existed, he would definitely be a supreme existence on par with the heavenly path.

There was still another move!

Ou Yangming was a little anxious. The other move was very powerful, but he was not here to learn the move. What he needed was a powerful attack that could destroy the stone door.

In his desperation, Ou Yangming opened the bottle and poured all the Dragon Fragrant Pills into his mouth.

Unfortunately, there was no more image in his mind.

After he remembered Nothingness, there was nothing else.

At the spur of the moment, Ou Yangming seemed to have entered an unexplainable state.

Heaven’s Destruction, Earth’s Demolition, Nothingness, and Reincarnation.

The first 2 moves represented slaughter and destruction, while the last two moves represented rebirth and hope.

At this moment, Ou Yangming suddenly realized something.

‘Heaven’s Destruction and Earth’s Demolition might not be 2 moves but just one move…’

After this feeling arose in his heart, Ou Yangming was slightly excited. He hurriedly deduced his thoughts in his mind, swallowing dozens of Dragon Fragrant Pills at the same time. In addition to the additional effects of the Enlightenment Pavilion, his comprehension ability had reached an inhuman level.

Heaven’s Destruction!

The move kept evolving in Ou Yangming’s mind.

Then, it was Earth’s Demolition.

Once, twice, thrice, countless times…

Although it was only a simulation in Ou Yangming’s sea of spirit, it was not much different from the real deal. In fact, it was even clearer.

This was a depiction of how a bystander could see things clearer.

At this moment, Ou Yangming seemed to be observing these 2 moves carefully from the perspective of a bystander.

‘There’s indeed a little connection between them…’

After Ou Yangming observed them countless times, he finally found this connection. However, this did not mean that it confirmed his guess. The relationship between the two was indistinct. If he wanted to confirm whether he was correct, he needed to verify it personally.

Ou Yangming practiced again.

This time, he gradually combined the 2 moves together, but it seemed very strange.

After failing the first time, Ou Yangming was not discouraged and immediately began the next one.

When he failed the second time, the resulting power was even inferior to when he used any of the moves on its own.

The third time…

Ou Yangming practiced again and again. He had forgotten how many times he had experimented. When the spiritual power in his sea of spirit was almost exhausted, he finally found the point between the two.

Heaven’s Destruction and Earth’s Demolition.

Together, they were extermination. Only after extermination could new lives be born. Only after extermination could new civilizations be born.

History was the same, and so were the other worlds in the universe.

Now, the Great Wide World was also facing the danger of extermination. This did not mean that the world would really be destroyed. It just made this world survive longer.

Extermination and creation. These were not laws. They were profound meanings, the ultimate profound meanings of the universe.

Ou Yangming seemed to have undergone instant comprehension.

A muffled voice appeared in his mind. It seemed to come from beyond the nine heavens.

Extermination, creation, order, space, and time.

These were all profound meanings. At the same time, they represented the heavenly path.

Only by controlling them could one become the strongest existence in the universe. Only then could one be equal to the heavens!

Ou Yangming’s head rumbled. He had come into contact with the mysterious ultimate profound meanings in the universe.

The road ahead was clear and bright.

Before this, Ou Yangming did not know how to open the stone door. He was still confused, but he knew it clearly at this moment.

The profound meanings.

As long as he could master the profound meanings of extermination, he could open the stone door.

Ou Yangming had never had this kind of confidence before.

With this clear goal in mind, Ou Yangming threw all distracting thoughts out of his mind. He fumbled and tried again. He did not know how many Dragon Fragrant Pills he had used. In short, after he had used up all the spiritual herbs, he had gradually fused Heaven’s Destruction and Earth’s Demolition.

Then, it was time for endless practice.

Time passed quickly. 40 years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Ou Yangming opened his eyes. The light of extermination suddenly erupted in his eyes, causing all the powers of laws in the Enlightenment Pavilion to retreat.

Those powers of laws hid in a corner, shivering. This human who had lived with them for 50 years seemed to have become the embodiment of the heavenly path..
