Chapter 1027: Overcoming the Tribulation

At night, the light breezes were stirring.

Ou Yangming sat in the small courtyard and looked at the sky. Jiang Yingrong came slowly. Seeing the faint melancholy in his eyes, she asked with a faint smile, “Brother Yu, are you homesick?”

“Yes, I’ve been away for too long. I’ve made an appointment with Brother Zang to leave the Big Ruins tomorrow.” Ou Yangming looked at the dark sky.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Jiang Yingrong walked to his side and sat. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Ou Yangming did not reply. He was enjoying the night in front of him. After a long while, a white light flashed on his right hand. Afterward, an interspatial bag appeared in his hand. He smiled and said, “Inside are the gifts I’m giving to the Jiang family, as well as the gifts for you and Qingcheng…”

Jiang Yingrong could not hide the joy in her eyes. She stood up and saluted the young fellow with her hands on the right side of her waist. She winked and expressed, “Thank you, Brother Yu.” She did not use her mental power to check the items at this moment. This was a show of respect for Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming saw that she was no longer interested in talking. Her mind was completely focused on the interspatial bag.

He took the initiative and said, “I’m tired. I want to have a good rest.”

Jiang Yingrong giggled and said, “Brother Yu, you’re really understanding!” She naturally knew why Ou Yangming said that. She bowed again and slowly made her way out.

After turning around the corner, her eyes were bright and beautiful. She directly sent her mental power into the interspatial bag. Immediately, her bright eyes were filled with shock. After taking a deep breath, she said in a trembling voice, “A newly refined Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and a complete Earthly Formation? As for the alchemy techniques… They’re for Qingcheng?” Her heart was filled with surprise and joy, and he walked towards the Jiang Residence’s study.

The next day, while the sun was bright and beautiful, it still carried a faint grey color.

Early in the morning, Ou Yangming slowly exhaled a breath of green air. The Qi momentum on his body was as smooth as one, and his aura was as majestic as the sea.

“Brother Yu, your cultivation’s getting stronger. Just the undulations that you’re emitting are enough to make me feel apprehensive.” Zang Jian came with a case on his back and blinked. Even though he said so, there was a hint of darkness in the depths of its eyes that no one could notice. The fact that the life force of the Ultimate Sword Peak’s peak master was about to be cut off had always been a thorn in his heart.

“Brother Zang, you’re kidding…” Ou Yangming waved his hand with a casual expression.

As his gaze focused, he looked into the distance and said, “Let’s go.”

The two of them left silently.

In the house, Lil’ Man watched Ou Yangming’s back through the crack of the door. His coarse little hands were tightly clenched together as he muttered, “Big Brother, don’t worry. I’ll surely become your pride.”

It was on this day that Lil’ Man rose like a comet and became unstoppable.

The land was dead silent, and the yellow sand was like rain as they pitter-pattered non-stop.

Ou Yangming and Zang Jian were Daoist disciple figures, hence they were extremely fast, far from what ordinary Spiritualists could imagine. Like 2 stars zooming across the night sky, they drew 2 perfect and amazing arcs.

After half a month, on a small hill, they looked at each other and took a deep breath.

Ou Yangming looked at the clear blue sky and felt comfortable. Looking ahead, the grasses were green, and breezes blew. The grasses bent and rippled into the distance like a wave of green water. At the foot of the mountain, there was a bamboo forest. Many spirit beasts were breathing leisurely there.

Zang Jian lifted the sword case and said with a smile, “We’re finally out.”

At this moment, a tyrannical mental power instantly reversed and attacked Ou Yangming’s mind.

This power was even more majestic than when the head devoured the Bone Dragon. In an instant, Ou Yangming’s body seemed to have turned into a furnace. The blood in his body began to boil, and a white flame soared into the sky. The air began to twist under this flame. Even the sunlight could not reach his body as if he was blocked by an invisible barrier, and the scorching airwaves were reversed.

At this moment, even Zang Jian, who was a first-level Daoist disciple, turned around and jumped away, not daring to come within 33 meters of Ou Yangming.

He asked in shock, “Brother Yu, are… Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Ou Yangming’s voice was hoarse, and he spoke while gritting his teeth.

Without any hesitation, he entered the state of the connection between Heaven and man and began to use the great mental power to polish his body. He uttered in a low voice, “No self and no matters; no matters and no self. When Yin and Yang rotate, one achieves great freedom.”

Under the impact of this mental power, his body released a muffled sound like thunder.

His body was covered in flames, and his majestic momentum was reversed. It was getting stronger, and it carried the awe-inspiring and domineering aura of ascending to heaven one step at a time. At every moment, his momentum was getting stronger.

At this moment, Ou Yangming was like a machine that was being operated to the extreme.

He could only do this because the immense mental power was about to melt him.

After an unknown period, Ou Yangming touched the invisible barrier. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily, “Break—break!” He sounded like the Voices of Gods and Demons.

Before he finished, a cracking sound came from his body.

With an explosive, the layer of shackles was broken, and he became a top-grade Spiritualist!

“He… He broke through?” Zang Jian’s eyes were dull, and he was terrified.

After a breath, he smiled bitterly and asked, “Isn’t this too easy?” He did not know that it was not easy at all.

On one side, Ou Yangming wanted to control this tyrannical mental power to break through the barrier to a top-grade Spiritualist; on the other side, he wanted to prevent the mental power from backfiring. It was worth noting that the head had swallowed tens of thousands of foreign races. How powerful was this power? If it backfired, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After breaking through to a top-grade Spiritualist, the stabbing pain in Ou Yangming’s brain finally lessened a bit, but it was still intense.

If one really wanted to describe it, it was like tens of thousands of silver needles stabbing into his brain at the same time and stirring non-stop.

He did not dare to relax in the slightest and continued to exhaust his mental power.

When Zang Jian saw this, it was as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing. His pupils contracted, and he stuttered, “This… He’s not satisfied even after breaking through one realm. Could it be that… He still wants to break through and become a Venerable One?” There was a faint sense of fear in his heart. He originally thought that even if he was slightly weaker than Ou Yangming, he was not much weaker. However, at this moment, Zang Jian desperately discovered that the gap between them was getting bigger. It was like a natural chasm, and it was impossible for him to catch up. Just like the blue seawater and the stars in the sky, the distance between them was an entire sky, or simply the whole world.

Ou Yangming indeed had the thought of breaking through to become a Venerable One in one step because there were too many souls from foreign races, and their qualities were high.

The powers that were fed back to him were too strong. If he did not use the Heavenly Disaster’s powers to resist them, his body would probably be destroyed by them. In fact, he was riding a tiger at the moment and had no other choice.

The aura on his body grew stronger. In less than 10 breaths, it had reached the point where even Zang Jian was shocked.

It was like a mountain that could crush everything in its path. Even the Daoist disciple of the Ultimate Sword Peak felt a sense of insignificance under this aura.

All the spirit beasts within 333 meters prostrated, their heads buried in the soil, and their bodies trembling. The pressure of the Dragons and the Phoenixes was an absolute suppression from a superior. Ordinary spirit beasts would find it difficult to resist.

The white flames on Ou Yangming’s body shot up hundreds of meters into the sky, and they burned fiercely.

All of a sudden, a forceful Devouring Power burst out from within his dantian, transforming into a black vortex that continuously absorbed the Heavenly Phoenix’s power. Despite that, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire was not willing to be outdone. It fought head-on with this Devouring Power and was actually on par with it.

To Ou Yangming, this was like adding insult to injury. He had never thought that such a drastic change would happen before the mental power that was fed back to him was resolved. With his dantian as the core, it became a battlefield between the Devouring Power and the Heavenly Phoenix Fire.

This heart-burning, bone-piercing pain twisted Ou Yangming’s face. His nose, eyes, and eyebrows were knitted together, making him look ferocious. Nevertheless, he did not say a word and gritted his teeth to persevere. At this critical moment, the ruthlessness hidden deep in the young fellow’s character was unleashed. He did not say a word and unleashed his potential. He mobilized all of his mental power and blasted it toward the invisible barrier.

Once, twice, thrice…

“Boom!” A sound that sounded like glass shattering rang out in his mind.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, and he swallowed a mouthful of blood. His aura was so sharp that it seemed as if it could pierce a hole in the blue sky.

The originally clear sky instantly darkened. Black clouds gathered from all directions. The black clouds surged and hung low while lightning danced like dragons and snakes.

At this point, the last bit of thought in Zang Jian’s heart was shattered. A voice seemed to be roaring in his mind. ‘This… The tribulation to become a Venerable One. This…’

He could not find any words to describe it. Half a day ago, Ou Yangming was only an Advanced Spiritualist but in the blink of an eye, he was going to overcome the tribulation to become a Venerable One? If the young fellow becoming a top-grade Spiritualist earlier was a legend, then his tribulation to become a Venerable One at this moment was a myth.

Zang Jian did not know that at this time, Ou Yangming’s body was in chaos, and 2 powerful forces were colliding with each other.

Without warning, the head’s Devouring Power increased greatly, and it continuously absorbed the spiritual Qi in Ou Yangming’s dantian. The Heavenly Phoenix Fire was somewhat unable to suppress it, and it faintly showed a decline.

At this moment, an indescribable light spread out from the Long Feather Band. It was difficult to describe it as if it gathered all the colors in the world. It seemed to contain the great path, and all things were born. All kinds of mysteries converged into one furnace.

This light lit up half of the sky and turned into a light spot, fusing into the Heavenly Phoenix Fire. In an instant, the fire became like glass without any flaws. It gave people a feeling of smoothness and in just a moment, it suppressed the head’s Devouring Power.

Ou Yangming’s mental power sensed this, and a kind of enlightenment appeared in his mind as if it was a blessing to his soul.

This was the light emitted by the treasure left by the Phoenixes. No matter what, he still heaved a sigh of relief.

Zang Jian did not know what had happened at all. He only felt that what he saw today was beyond his understanding. He smiled bitterly and said, “So this is what it’s like to make a significant advancement. I wonder when I’ll be able to do it…”

At this moment, he no longer had any thoughts of comparing himself to Ou Yangming. After all, the young fellow was a monster that could not be measured by common sense. If Zang Jian compared himself to the young fellow, he would only be asking for humiliation.
