Surging energies were released at Ghost Mo endlessly. Based on the top-grade spirit insect’s performance earlier, it would charge at them mercilessly to cut off the spells’ source.
Nonetheless, Ghost Mo suddenly changed its direction and let those spells attack it.
The spirit insect moved its legs frantically while its body flew toward where it came from at the speed of light. It was not as fast as when it arched its body and bounced off, but it was a secretive and nimble approach. In particular, Ghost Mo could turn as it wished and was not inferior to Big Yellow at all in terms of agility.
As for the spells that struck it, they could only delay its movements but could not hurt it.
Ou Yangming’s eyes turned dark. ‘Top-grade spirit beasts are top-grade spirit beasts indeed; their powers are far greater than mine. Even when I and Big Yellow joined hands and replenish our energies with spirit beasts’ flesh, we couldn’t harm it at all. Besides, we’ve been escaping all the while. If we went against the spirit insect head-on, we would’ve been killed long ago.
‘Power—I need more and greater power!’
“Roar—”
All of a sudden, an extremely furious roar was heard. A figure much more enormous than Ghost Mo descended as though it was a mountain.
Ghost Mo sped up abruptly. It was well-prepared after it recognized the environment around it. Its long body twisted and turned on the ground, then it changed its direction and dodge the humongous figure’s attack as if it was a ghost.
Ou Yangming narrowed his eyes. He knew he had finally escaped.
Throughout Ghost Mo’s pursuit, it seemed like Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were forced to flee without being able to counterattack, but they had secretly taken a big round when they changed directions during their flight.
Normally, Ghost Mo would have noticed it.
Nevertheless, when Ou Yangming agitated Ghost Mo using numerous runes and caused its efforts to be in vain, its rage finally masked its rationale. The spirit insect was determined to get rid of the young fellow and the big yellow dog, but it neglected its surroundings.
By the time it reacted to the situation, it had returned to the 10,000 Beasts Ridge.
Although this was only the border of the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, given how much 10,000 Beasts Venerable controlled its territory, it must have noticed the spiritual power fluctuation here.
Despite having noticed Ou Yangming’s intention and wanting to turn to escape, Ghost Mo was too late.
A massive six-armed beast had arrived, and it was charging at Ghost Mo ruthlessly.
Ghost Mo twisted its body and did its best to get away, but the gigantic beast was rather agile. Each time the beast jumped, it could block the spirit insect’s escape path and forced it to stay inside this area.
The spirit insect feared the Six-armed Giant Beast very much. Its aura was not inferior to that of the beast, but it dodged the beast carefully and dared not resist it.
Ou Yangming and Big Yellow had retreated far away long ago and were watching quietly. It was great that they could watch a fight of this level.
Even though the spirit insect and the giant beast were only fighting with physical powers at the moment without using their innate skills, every move that they made during crucial moments was reasonable. It was more than the disparity between power levels; they had reached the wonderful state of being compatible with Heaven and Earth.
Big Yellow widened its eyes while Ou Yangming watched with bright eyes too.
From their perspectives, every movement made by Ghost Mo and the Six-armed Giant Beast was not simple at all. Whether it was the giant beast’s casual attacks of the spirit insect’s mysterious and unpredictable dodges, they seemed to be unimaginably reasonable.
Every attack made by the Six-armed Giant Beast seemed to be able to split Heaven and Earth, but while the attacks were violent, its defense was impenetrable. As it stomped its large foot firmly on the ground, forceful spiritual power from the universe spiraled its body as if the space around it was vaguely being controlled by it.
On the other hand, Ghost Mo was incredibly fast. It kept dodging, but its body sometimes turned and sometimes curled up. Even Ou Yangming and Big Yellow could tell that the spirit insect was brewing its power to counterattack while it avoided the giant beast. Once Ghost Mo found an opportunity, it would certainly launch an earth-shattering and fatal attack. Moreover, there was also a cyclone around it as though its moves corresponded perfectly with the universe’s spiritual power. The marvelous feeling could not be put into words.
Ou Yangming moved his lips and mumbled, “Space, space…”
“Yes, the fight between top-grade Spiritualists is a competition for space. It’s not easy for you to perceive that.”
A faint voice was suddenly heard beside Ou Yangming.
Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were appalled. When they turned to look, they instantly noticed the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s thin figure. It had unknowingly stood beside them.
The young fellow twitched his mouth as he glanced at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, then he looked at the majestic Six-armed Giant Beast. No matter how he tried to hide it, a strange look could be seen in his eyes.
While the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One had not done the introduction, Ou Yangming knew the Six-armed Giant Beast was from its bloodline. When the young fellow recalled Multi-armed King Kong’s monstrous body, he could not imagine how the Venerable One had the 2 mountainous creatures as its sons.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked at Ou Yangming. Its eyes were as clear as water, but they carried indescribable powers as if it perceived the young fellow’s thought.
Ou Yangming quickly lowered his head and responded, “Thanks for your pointers, Venerable One.” He felt guilty at this moment.
“If King Kong cultivates to become a Venerable One, you’ll understand.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One scoffed.
Ou Yangming was stunned, and he broke out in a cold sweat. The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One really saw through his thought but fortunately, it did not seem like it wanted to make a fuss about it.
“You reacted very fast and didn’t disappoint me.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed and expressed, “I was thinking how long you could hold on being pursued by Ghost Mo. Who knew, you persevered and even lure it back to the 10,000 Beasts Ridge. It was quite unexpected for me too.”
“Venerable One, you… Saw everything?” Ou Yangming was dumbfounded.
“This is my territory, so it’s not strange that I saw everything, right?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One grinned.
Ou Yangming pointed at the fight and asked, “You were aware of Ghost Mo’s every move too, am I right?”
“Hehe, Ghost Mo left in such a hurry after it met you. I’m not blind, so how could I not know?” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One spoke in a plain tone as if it was talking about the simplest thing ever.
Struck with a thought, Ou Yangming asked, “Venerable One, how are Elder Bai and the others now?”
“Given that you remember them, you’re not an ungrateful person.” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One nodded. He chuckled and continued, “Ghost Mo wanted to go against you, but it dare not hurt anyone here, so it only made them unconscious. At most, they’ll wake up after a day.”
Ou Yangming finally sighed a breath of relief. If Bai Zhiyi, Fat Antelope, and the others died because of him, it would be a mental burden for him.
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was not staring at Ou Yangming, but his expressions were not hidden from the experienced Venerable One. It nodded and thought, ‘At the very least, I won’t have to worry about King Kong being abandoned or used by this young fella.’
In actuality, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was especially curious about everything that happened in the lower realm.
It wanted to know why King Kong chose the young fellow as its master; it did not seem justifiable.
Nevertheless, the Venerable One gave up wanting to get to the bottom of the matter after Ou Yangming displayed the appearance of the dragon and the phoenix. Even if it could crush the young fellow to his death with one finger, it would not ask further.
“Boom…”
A deafening sound was heard coming from the fight. After attacking and avoiding each other for a long time, the giant beasts finally became entangled. Ghost Mo’s long body coiled around the Six-armed Giant Beast, by which it extended its legs to strangle the beast.
Even so, the Six-armed Giant Beast had 6 tough arms. It hammered the centipede hard with all 6 of its arms, every strike leaving a dent in Ghost Mo’s body, to the extent that green liquid began to splatter out.
The black fog around Ghost Mo became denser. Instead of spreading in all directions, they kept gathering inward and became more intense.
Ou Yangming, who was watching from afar, swayed and felt dizzy.
He shook his head, and his face changed as he exclaimed, “It’s poisonous!”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed but did not act. A wind suddenly blew to drive the poisonous gas away.
“You’re quite smart, but you’re not alert enough.”
Ou Yangming flushed and flattered the Venerable One. “I feel safe beside you, so I wasn’t on guard.”
The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One could not help but laugh. “If that’s the case, it was my bad.”
At this time, if cultivators that knew the Venerable One well were present, they would be doubtful if the friendly fellow was the Venerable One itself.
Given that it was an unparalleled powerhouse that was in command on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge, preventing powerhouses from Danzhou to set foot on its territory carelessly, it must not be a kind figure.
“Watch closely; the outcome will be revealed soon. You’ll benefit from watching more of this,” the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One uttered.
Ou Yangming immediately curbed his thoughts and focused on the fight.
After a brief moment, the Six-armed Giant Beast suddenly roared and pulled all 6 of its arms at the same time. Consequently, the centipede around its body was torn into several sections.
Green blood spurted into the air and poured down like rain. With that, the majestic Ghost Mo, which had pursued Ou Yangming by every means, perished on the 10,000 Beasts Ridge.
