Chapter 1096: Die With a Remaining Grievance

The destructive aura on Long Chen’s body grew stronger. It even caused the sky to distort. It was incomparably terrifying.

Soon after, the law he had comprehended also started to burn. A violent and destructive aura spread out in all directions.

Long Chen’s face revealed a look of either relief or comfort. 2 streams of blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes. He pursed his lips and smiled. “Die, die!” His 3-kilometers-long dragon body swelled up and became more malevolent and enormous. It was like an inflating rubber ball, and it could explode at any moment.

He was a Ruler. He could die, but he could not lose.

Especially losing to a top-grade Venerable One. This was even more unbearable than being killed.

At this moment, Long Chen’s gaze towards Ou Yangming was filled with hatred. If looks could kill, the young fellow would definitely be riddled with holes and die a horrible death.

“Retreat, quickly retreat!” Ou Yangming’s voice was urgent, and a rarely seen expression of panic appeared on his face. He could sense Long Chen’s intense malice.

He forcefully stopped and put away the Dragon Slater.

The 2 beasts saw that the situation was not good and nimbly put on their Life-saving Suits. They mobilized the powers of the Small Dragons’ World and the Small Phoenixes’ World and quickly retreated.

“Retreat? Can you retreat? This is not only the self-explosion of my Dantian Lake but also burning the fruit of a law. Using the power of thunder to push this power to its peak, no matter how strong your physical body is, you’ll die without a doubt. Hahaha!” This voice came out from the ball of burning flames. It was an indescribable madness and determination. This was Long Chen. He did things by hook or by crook, but he still had the pride of a Ruler.

“Explode!” He roared loudly with a hint of unwillingness.

As soon as he finished, his Dantian Lake glowed with multicolored light, and his spiritual Qi surged.

A crazy feeling came from his body. He would rather die than lose. Even if he had to die, he would drag Ou Yangming along with him.

Long Chen did not know that his thoughts at this moment were exactly the same as what Long Xiao had thought when he self-exploded.

“Rumble…”

This sound was like the most intense sound that came from the beginning of chaos. It was also like the unwilling wail of the destruction of all things. Immediately after, a grey storm that could be seen with the naked eye with Long Chen as the core reverberated in all directions. Wherever it passed, thunderbolts, space, and even time collapsed, revealing a color that was difficult to describe in the chaos. It was as if it had been disintegrated.

Even for the destructive power contained within the roar, if it was heard by powerhouses below top-grade Venerable One, they would be pulled into reincarnation.

3 meters, 33 meters, 333 meters…

Everything was destroyed!

Ou Yangming looked at the grey storm and shook his head. He sneered. “You want to die together with me? Dream on!”

As Ou Yangming secretly mobilized the power of his physical body, he tapped his interspatial bag at the same time. In the blink of an eye, he had put on his Life-saving Suit. A mysterious rune instantly lit up, suppressing the light from the thunder pool and spreading in all directions, interweaving into a silk net. There was softness within hardness, and hardness within softness at the same time. This was something that the young fellow had specially developed after seeing Long Xiao self-explode. The name of the suit was not elegant, but it had a great effect against self-explosion. After all, he still had lingering fear in his heart when he recalled the previous experience.

With a “crack”, the destructive power washed over the Life-saving Suit like a tide.

The set of magic weapons trembled non-stop, and a crack actually appeared. There was a faint sign of them collapsing, and Ou Yangming hurriedly spat out a mouthful of blood essence.

The mysterious runes on the Life-saving Suit shone brightly and dissolved the destructive power bit by bit.

“No! This is impossible!” This voice was vicious and resounding.

“Hmph, I told you earlier that if you want to perish together with me, it’s no different from a fool’s dream.” Ou Yangming sneered.

“No…” Long Chen screamed shrilly and cursed Ou Yangming. After 10 breaths, his voice became weaker. Even his soul was burned, but he did not even hurt the young fellow at all. He died with a remaining grievance.

Of course, this did not mean that the Life-saving Suit could withstand a full-powered attack from a Rule.

It was just that the special nature of this equipment set could dissolve the destructive power of self-explosion.

At this time, Ou Yangming did not know that this equipment, together with the explosive arrows, would shine brilliantly on the battlefield in the future, causing the major races in the chaos to shudder in fear.

After 100 breaths, the world returned to peace.

With Long Chen’s self-explosion as the core, a bottomless pit that was tens of kilometers deep appeared out of thin air in the thunder pool.

The reason it was only tens of kilometers deep and not hundreds of kilometers deep was that Long Chen had concentrated the power of the self-explosion within this area as he wanted to drag the young fellow and 2 beasts to perish together with him. Otherwise, the destructive power of this self-explosion would surely be several times greater than that of Long Xiao. There were 3 reasons. Firstly, Long Chen’s strength was more than a level greater than Long Xiao’s. Secondly, before the self-explosion, he had devoured countless thunderbolts. This was like adding a catalyst to a chemical medicine, causing a qualitative change. Lastly, it was his personality. He had once massacred an entire world. His soul was filled with endless violence, so the power of his self-explosion was even greater.

Ou Yangming let out a long breath. With a flip of his wrist, he put away his Life-saving Suit.

With a stride, he landed beside Big Yellow and Lil’ Red.

At this moment, the Life-saving Suits on the 2 beasts were full of cracks. The cracks were thin and dense, criss-crossing with each other. With a gentle blow of the cold wind, they turned into white powder and scattered in all directions. Fortunately, the 2 beasts were outside the core area of the self-explosion. They were only slightly injured and would recover after a few days of recuperation.

Big Yellow grinned and revealed a mouthful of white teeth. He said in horror, “The self-explosion of a Ruler is too fearsome!” He would never forget such violent and destructive power for the rest of his life. If it were not for the Life-saving Suit, he would have died a horrible death.

Lil’ Red’s eyes also revealed a hint of fear as he nodded as well.

Ou Yangming tucked his hair behind his ear. His white clothes were as white as snow as he added, “It’s because you’re too weak.” If it were any other time, he would not say such a thing. Despite that, after seeing the Life-saving Suits collapse and the 2 beasts being injured, he felt that the beasts were being too complacent, thus they needed to be spurred on. Only when they became stronger could they deal with all kinds of dangers.

Big Yellow looked around and smiled embarrassedly. He did not say anything.

Lil’ Red raised his head and looked at the thunderbolts that kept falling. He smiled faintly but did not say anything too. The 2 beasts were going to pretend to be dumb.

Ou Yangming laughed bitterly. He tapped Big Yellow’s forehead and berated, “You!”

Not only was Big Yellow not angry, but he also enjoyed it very much. Deep down, he was very happy.

Lil’ Red’s eyes actually revealed a trace of envy that was difficult to detect.

Speaking of which, among the 4 spirit beasts, Big Yellow had the deepest relationship with Ou Yangming and was the most unrestrained. Following that was Lil’ Red. As for King Kong and the goshawk, while the young fellow regarded them as brothers, due to the existence of the contracts, there was an indelible grudge between them.

The young fellow and the 2 beasts walked in the thunder pool for a long time. They were close to digging the pool until they reached the bottom of it, but they still could find the origin of lightning.

After walking for a while, Ou Yangming sighed and said, “Let’s go!”

The 2 beasts naturally would not refute him. They walked side by side with him and headed into the distance.

It was also on this day that another Ruler was forced to self-explode his Dantian Lake by a top-grade Venerable One. No matter how big one’s heart was, one would never have thought of such a soul-stirring plot. Now, it really happened. What was even more terrifying was that the Venerable One was unharmed. This was simply a myth and was unprecedented.

Indeed, that was the truth. Even if one traced back to ancient times, Ou Yangming was still a character who had the power to suppress the rest of the world. A top-grade Venerable One who could escape from the hands of a Ruler was already rare, not to mention that he could force a powerhouse of that level to self-explode. The young fellow could be considered the most brilliant top-grade Venerable One in history. Even if Feng Ling, Taotie, and Xu Aoran were top-grade Venerable Ones, there would only be one outcome if they met Ou Yangming, and that was that they would be crushed.

Feng Lin stepped on the fallen leaves, and he casually glanced at Ou Yangming’s profile.

He thought to herself, ‘If Grandpa knew that Lil’ Ming could force a Ruler to self-explode, what would his expression be like?’ Thinking of that, his beautiful eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with a strong sense of evil. He knew Feng Mu was a strong warrior who was unperturbed and had not shown a look of surprise for thousands of years.

“Let’s see if you’ll be surprised this time!” He muttered softly, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“What are you mumbling about?” Ou Yangming cast a sidelong glance at Lil’ Red.

“Nothing!” Lil’ Red’s gaze was a little evasive, and he drooped his head.

Ou Yangming swayed his body and looked at Lil’ Red’s beautiful fur with a meaningful look. He did not point him out. He was dressed in white clothes like snow and had a handsome face. He stood there with a smile as if he was an immortal floating in the wind.

After a while, Lil’ Red raised his head.

He looked at Ou Yangming and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, but he kept looking around.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t stutter.” Ou Yangming grabbed the little red bird in his hand and scolded him with a smile.

Lil’ Red shrunk his head and said with a serious look, “Lil’ Ming, do you think there’s an afterlife? Is there really hell?” After saying that, he looked at Ou Yangming with a burning face. He had once asked Feng Mu about this question, but the old man pointed to the sky and ordered him to leave. Big Yellow also pricked up his ears and looked over, afraid that he would miss a single detail.

Ou Yangming was stunned for a moment before he responded softly, “I believe there is.”

“Really?” Lil’ Red twisted his body and tilted his head as he asked.

“Really.” Ou Yangming nodded.

Before he could finish his, he continued, “Taking Long Chen as an example, I don’t know what he did, but the resentment on his body is too strong, and it’s constantly eroding his fate. Even if the Dragons are God-favored ones and are blessed by Heaven and Earth, they can’t withstand the wear and tear of resentments. Without the fate of Heaven and Earth, they’ll naturally end up miserable.” When he said this, for some reason, he thought of the inheritance of the Upper Tribulations, as well as the coffin.

The karma was too big like a time bomb that could explode at any time.

A thoughtful look appeared in Big Yellow’s eyes, and he asked, “That dragon powerhouse self-exploded along with his soul. Was he afraid of going to hell?”

“Hell?” Ou Yangming did not answer but carefully pondered this word.

After a moment, he replied, “For such a person, it’s just moving deeper into hell. There’s not much difference. Perhaps…” HGe paused for a moment and looked into the distance. Looking at the blue sky, he softly muttered, “Perhaps it was for the last bit of conscience left in his heart.”
