Chapter 1301: The Devil God Boundary
Carcasses were strewn all over the Big Python Mountain, and all the Ancient Demons that had left the Abyss of Despair had been exterminated.

The human powerhouses that had left the Big Python Mountain had brought this news to the outside world, and the Great Wide World was once again in an uproar.

Through the descriptions, someone quickly recognized that mysterious powerhouse as Ou Yangming.

There were not many almighty powerhouses active in the Great Wide World, and the only young powerhouses were Ruler Ying and Ruler Ming.

That person’s appearance was not much different from Ou Yangming’s.

“Ruler Ming killed 2 Demon Kings?”

Countless people were shocked.

He single-handedly destroyed all the Ancient Demons in the Abyss of Despair and killed 2 Demon Kings.

How powerful was he?

Demon Kings were on par with third-step almighty powerhouses.

From emerging in the Phoenixes’s headquarters to defeating Ruler Ying and killing Demon Kings, Ruler Ming’s name became more resounding.

Ou Yangming had always been a very important figure in the hearts of the crowd, but he was even more important at this moment.

When the news reached the Phoenixes, the Phoenixes were silent for a moment. They knew that they had made the right choice. This young fellow had a bright future. Fortunately, the conflict between him and the Phoenixes had been resolved.

The Mystic Sky Sect, the Dragons, and the Seven Stars Pavilion.

All of the forces that were on good terms with Ou Yangming were shocked. Before the great calamity, it was the fortune of the world to have such a genius.

“Has his strength increased again?”

In a small city in the remote area of the Zhenwu Continent, the red-clothed Ruler Ying looked into the distance. A battle intent burst out from his eyes.

“No matter what, I won’t lose to you next time.”

He gradually stood up and turned around. He looked at the old man and said, “Grandpa, I plan to seclude myself for a few days.”

“Why do you suddenly want to go into closed-door cultivation? Is it because of that genius?” The red-robed old man narrowed his eyes.

Ruler Ying snorted unwillingly and said, “Last time, he was just lucky. After these few battles, I’ve already sensed a trace of the profound meaning of extermination. Next time, he won’t be so lucky.”

“You’ve comprehended the profound meaning?” The old man’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy as he quickly walked over.

Comprehending the profound meaning was equivalent to opening the door to being a half step to the Heavenly Rank.

Ruler Ying stretched out his hand, and traces of brown light flashed on his fingertip. The lights seemed to be faintly discernible, but one could feel the threat of suffocation from them.

“It really is the profound meaning. When did you comprehend it?”

The red-clothed old man’s eyes were shining. He did not expect his grandson to comprehend the profound meaning so quickly. As expected of a genius.

He had forgotten how long it took himself to comprehend the profound meaning. The time taken by Ruler Ying was less than one in 10,000 of his time.

Ruler Ying smiled and said, “Speaking of which, I still have to thank Ruler Ming. When I was fighting with the other almighty powerhouses in the Great Wide World, I had a vague feeling. Unfortunately, that feeling was very vague. I couldn’t see or touch it. I was severely injured in the battle with Ruler Ming in the Mystic Sky Sect, but the feeling gradually became clearer. Less than 2 days after I came back, I’ve comprehended the profound meaning of extermination.”

“Good boy, why didn’t you tell me?” The red-clothed elder was delighted.

“Grandpa, I was lucky enough to sense a trace of the profound meaning, but it was still faintly discernible. It was in danger of disappearing at any moment. What if I told you and it suddenly disappears? Wouldn’t that be a joke? Now that it has stabilized, I’m telling you.” Ruler Ying’s eyes were also filled with excitement.

He challenged countless powerhouses in the Great Wide World just to comprehend the profound meaning and break through to a half step to the Heavenly Rank.

Such a method could be said to be wishful thinking.

Nonetheless, to everyone’s surprise, he succeeded!

“Good, good. This time, I’ll protect you.”

The elder laughed out loud. It had been a long time since he was this excited. With his grandson’s condition, the next time he came out of seclusion, he would be a half step to the Heavenly Rank for sure.

At that time, with the 2 of them working together, they would certainly have a chance to seize a divine spark that flew out from the Immortal Path.

Ruler Ying took a step forward and instantly, the ground shook, and a deep crack appeared on the ground. He did not hesitate and jumped down.

The crack gradually closed, and only then did the red-clothed elder withdraw his gaze and sit cross-legged.

In a restaurant in the Mystic Sky Immortal City.

A person was explaining the battle in the Abyss of Despair vividly. He went on and on as if the battle was happening right in front of his eyes.

“Those were 2 Demon Kings. Ruler Ming is too formidable!”

“Ruler Ming is our savior. If those 2 Demon Kings were to bring countless Ancient Demons into the Humans’ territory, who knows how many people would die? It’s just a pity that they were too unlucky. They just came out and met Ruler Ming.”

Everyone was discussing animatedly, but they did not notice that the man sitting by the window had suddenly disappeared.

Thousands of kilometers away.

Chi Ming looked at the direction of the Abyss of Despair with a cold glint in his eyes.

“I didn’t expect you to run so fast!”

Chi Ming had been searching for Ou Yangming’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, he could not find him. He had even made a trip to Starlight City as he wanted to use the young fellow’s family to threaten him to hand over the treasure. Who knew, when he went there, he found that the villa was empty.

“This time, let’s see where you can run to.” Chi Ming moved his feet and instantly appeared outside the Zhenwu Continent.

The Big Python Mountain was dead silent. Even the steep mountain peak had collapsed. Li Xiaofeng and Mo Sha were flying in the air.

“Where did Ruler Ming go?” Li Xiaofeng looked at Mo Sha and asked.

After the battle a few days ago, Ou Yangming had disappeared. Without any explanation, they had waited here for a few days, but no one had come out.

“I don’t know. His Excellency probably didn’t want us to follow him, so he secretly left.” Mo Sha shook his head.

The 2 of them glanced around again, and Li Xiaofeng sighed.

“Ruler Ming may have left. Let’s leave this place too.”

Mo Sha originally wanted to follow Ou Yangming but now that the young fellow had disappeared, he could only leave.

It had only been a few days in the outside world, but more than a year had passed in the Enlightenment Pavilion. Ou Yangming’s body was surging with blood and Qi.

The blood essences turned into a blood dragon and flew around Ou Yangming’s body. In front of his body, there was a large pile of Dripping Blood Stones and more than a dozen jade bottles.

This time, the Ancient Demons’ blood essences were unprecedentedly abundant.

There were the blood essence of a Demon King and those from more than a dozen Ancient Demons in the second step and countless Great Demons in the law boundary. The amount of blood essences was enough to support Ou Yangming to fuse with 10,000 Dripping Blood Stones.

“6,350.”

Ou Yangming let out a long breath. He opened his eyes, and a fierce light burst out from them.

This was the effect of the big-headed Demon King’s blood essence.

With the help of the Sky-devouring Art, Ou Yangming successfully fused with more than 1,000 Dripping Blood Stones with the help of a Demon King’s blood essence.

A Demon King’s blood essence was incomparably pure. The energy hidden within was the most terrifying, and the effect was also the best.

The further Ou Yangming went, the slower the fusion speed became. Fortunately, he had the Enlightenment Pavilion as a treasure. Otherwise, with his progress at the moment, after he had fused with 10,000 Dripping Blood Stones, the Great Wide World would have been destroyed countless times.

“The blood essence in that gorilla’s body must be better. What a pity…”

Ou Yangming was somewhat vexed. If he had known earlier, he would not have used Reincarnation.

Time was limited, so he had to seize every second.

Ou Yangming did not hesitate. He only rested for a short while before he immediately took action again.

“6,351.”

“6,352.”

…

The pile of Blood Dripping Stones became less and less. The consumption of the Ancient Demons’ blood essences was also very high.

As Ou Yangming fused with more Dripping Blood Stones, it became tougher. Luckily, he had a heaven-defying cultivation technique like the Sky-devouring Art. In addition to the Ancient Demons’ blood essences that he could freely squander, his body’s strength increased bit by bit.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the 100th year that Ou Yangming had entered the Enlightenment Pavilion.

The speed of the fusion became slower, and the process became more difficult. When Ou Yangming had fused more than 9,000 blood stones, there were already signs of failure.

Fusing with 10,000 Dripping Blood Stones would make one a Devil God in the Fallen Land. One would be the same as being in the third step. It was definitely not that easy to succeed.

After countless failures, Ou Yangming had finally fused with 9,999 stones. As long as the ongoing fusion in his body was over, he could successfully evolve.

Ou Yangming looked grave. His eyes were tightly closed, and his body was flashing with red light.

His blood and Qi had been filled to the extreme. His expression was slightly malevolent. His body was in extreme pain as if there were countless steel needles stabbing into his heart.

“Sky-devouring!”

Ou Yangming took a deep breath, and the Ancient Demons’ blood essences in the jade bottles flew out. They circled around his body like horned dragons.

From his nose to his mouth, blood light flashed, and his body was expanded to more than 3 meters.

He whistled, and a powerful aura was released from his body.

At last!

He succeeded!

Ou Yangming’s face was filled with joy.

100 years. After 100 years, Ou Yangming had finally succeeded!

Looking at the mountain-like pile of Dripping Blood Stones and the bottles on the ground, Ou Yangming could not help but feel proud. After enduring 100 years of pain, he finally managed to break through to the Devil God boundary.

In other words, with his strength at the moment, he could fight against a third-step powerhouse.

Furthermore, Ou Yangming felt that his strength was even more terrifying than the other Devil Gods in the Fallen Land because of the Ancient Demons’ blood essences.

Not only did he fuse with the Dripping Blood Stones, but he also fused with the Ancient Demons’ blood essences. The combination of the two made his strength even more fearsome.

Ou Yangming’s body was incredibly sturdy. Even a Middle Grade Acquired Taoist Tool could not harm his body.

Perhaps only a High Grade Taoist Tool like the Reincarnation Spear, which also contained the mysterious yellow Heaven-opening Qi, could truly threaten him.

Ou Yangming’s heart was burning with confidence. If he met Ruler Ying again, he would be able to defeat him easily. Even if he met an incomparably frightening powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank, he would not be afraid at all.

“It’s time to go out.”

Ou Yangming probed outside with his divine sense, and he saw a familiar figure.
