Immortal Path to Heaven - Chapter 1261

Chapter 1261: The Great Ancestor’s Shock

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a while, the great ancestor of the Phoenixes escaped with his face covered in dust.

There was blood on the corner of his mouth as he looked at Ou Yangming. His eyes were filled with shock.

“This… This is… Profoundness…”

The great ancestor of the Phoenixes was an experienced powerhouse in the third step of the conferred boundary. Of course, he knew that the boundary above this title was being equal to heaven.

In ancient times, the Phoenixes had only had one expert in that legendary boundary. Later on, that powerhouse mysteriously disappeared. Nonetheless, he had left countless bloodlines and inheritances for the Phoenixes. The introduction of the profound meanings had been passed down by that senior.

The great ancestor of the Phoenixes could not believe his eyes. He had actually seen this legendary power from a human.

As for the other phoenix members, they were even more in disbelief. Of course, they did not understand what profound meanings and being equal to heaven were.

They saw that the great ancestor, who was like a god in their hearts, was covered in dust and dirt under the young fellow’s attack. In an instant, their faith collapsed.

Lil’ Red also looked at Ou Yangming and the great ancestor in a daze. For a moment, he felt dizzy. At first, he was worried that the great ancestor would hurt Ou Yangming. Now, it turned out to be the complete opposite.

“Lil’ Ming, when did you become so powerful?”

Lil’ Red realized that ever since he came to the Great Wide World, he had been far behind Ou Yangming. The only chance he was given to narrow the gap between them was also provided by the young fellow.

A few years ago, Ou Yangming was still a young boy but in this short period, he had stood at the peak of the Great Wide World.

“Are you still going to stop me?”

Ou Yangming retracted his Reincarnation Spear. It was within his expectations that this spear did not destroy the great ancestor. After all, the great ancestor was not an ordinary Ruler of the third step. He reckoned that people like the Nine-sworded Ruler would not be a match for him.

Nevertheless, the Phoenixes’ great answer must not be feeling good at this moment. Ou Yangming did not doubt this. It could be seen from the blood on the corner of the great ancestor’s mouth.

The Phoenixes’ great ancestor was silent. He did not reply.

‘Stop him?’

‘My strength is probably not enough now, and I definitely can’t stop him. He’s a sprout in the Heavenly Rank. Unless I have the confidence to kill him, offending him will only cause the Phoenixes to suffer in the future.’

A powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank had extraordinary strength, and his ability was even more unpredictable.

Such powerhouses spoke as they pleased, and any curse from them could wipe out an entire race.

The difference between a conferred Ruler and a powerhouse in the Heavenly Rank was too great. One was within the heavenly path while the other was beyond that. There was no comparison at all.

Monstrous!

This was the only way to describe Ou Yangming. The Phoenixes’ great ancestor had lived in this world for more than 100,000 years, but he had never seen such a talented human.

‘Could it be that the chaotic world is really coming?’ The great ancestor of the Phoenixes was silent.

Ou Yangming walked past the great ancestor and walked toward the depths of 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain.

“Lil’ Ming, where are you going?”

Lil’ Red looked at the great ancestor of the Phoenixes with some fear, but he still gritted his teeth and flew over.

“To the Flaming Abyss.” Ou Yangming turned his head.

“I’ll go with you!” Lil’ Red followed behind him.

The Flaming Abyss was a forbidden area for the Phoenixes but at this moment, no one could stop Ou Yangming. If the Phoenixes’ great ancestor did not make a move, the others would not dare to move.

In actuality, the great ancestor was also afraid. He silently looked at Ou Yangming’s back, his mind full of thoughts. He could not offend this young man, and he could not afford to offend him either. The young fellow was likely going to be in the Heavenly Rank in the future.

After Ou Yangming and Lil’ Red left, a few elders of the Phoenixes flew over.

They came to the side of the great ancestor and said nervously, “Great Ancestor, that’s the Flaming Abyss, a place where our seniors rest.”

“Let them go.”

The great ancestor of the Phoenixes slightly circulated his cultivation and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had endured for a long time and did not show his injuries earlier.

“Great Ancestor, what happened to you?”

The elders of the Phoenixes looked shocked. They did not expect the great ancestor to be so heavily injured. The young man called Ou Yangming only became a Venerable One a few years ago. This was too terrifying. If this continued, who in this world could stop him?

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the great ancestor’s complexion became much better. He waved his hand and said, “It’s alright. I was a little arrogant just now and miscalculated his attack. That’s why I was slightly injured. I’ll be fine after resting for a period. Go and release Feng Mu and the others. No one is allowed to offend that young man in the future.”

“Yes, Great Ancestor.”

Hearing this, the elders were quite happy. A while ago, everyone had submitted to Feng Xinxiao under pressure. No matter which faction they belonged to, they were all members of the Phoenixes. Most of them did not wish to see their kind turn against each other.

The 2 elders who were on good terms with Feng Mu left after receiving the order. The others cleaned up the messy battlefield. This was the face of their Phoenixes, and they could not let outsiders see it.

Compared to the outside world, the dungeon in the Phoenixes’ headquarters was incomparably dark.

The dungeon was filled with formations and if one was not careful, they would be reduced to ashes. Most of the people who were imprisoned here were evil people captured by the Phoenixes or devils from the abyss that could not be dealt with in time. Of course, there were also some traitors of the Phoenixes. The Phoenixes had some factions, but they were still relatively harmonious with each other. However, they were torn apart by Feng Xinxiao.

Feng Xiang was tied to a cross. The magic power on his body was completely sealed. In front of him was a rough man with a scar on his face.

The scarred man held a long whip in his hand. The long whip was covered with sharp spikes. He looked at Feng Xiang, who was in front of him, and laughed loudly. “Sir Feng Xiang, I didn’t expect you to one day fall into my hands.”

“Hmph, you little br*t, how long have you been jumping around…” Feng Xiang said weakly.

Bei San sneered, “I, Bei San, have some bloodline of the Phoenixes. I only killed a few humans, yet you captured me and brought me here. I’ve stayed in this dark underground for more than 300 years. You made me so miserable. You were free and unfettered outside while I thought about you day and night here. I fantasized that one day, I’d eat your flesh and peel off your skin.”

“300 years ago, you used the fame of the Phoenixes to swindle people. You wanted an elder of a small human clan to marry his daughter to you. That human elder knew your character and didn’t agree to it, so you secretly killed that elder’s family and even harmed that woman and killed her. The human elder didn’t care about his safety and personally came to the 1,000 Phoenixes Mountain to demand an explanation. That’s why I went to capture a sc*m like you. I originally wanted to kill you with one move. If it wasn’t for the fact that you have the bloodline of the Phoenixes, I wouldn’t have spared your filthy life. If it wasn’t for that, do you think you would’ve been able to live until now?”

“Haha, don’t you regret it now?”

Bei San’s expression changed slightly. He swung the long whip in his hand, and a bloody scar appeared on Feng Xiang’s body.

Feng Xiang gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

“You’re quite tough. Let’s see how long you can last!” Bei San swung his whip a few more times. The scars on Feng Xiang’s body were shocking.

Seeing Feng Xiang’s pained expression, Bei San’s face was filled with a crazy smile.

When Feng Xiang and the others had just been brought here, Bei San had still found it hard to believe. He did not dare to imagine it.

To Bei San, who fantasized about his revenge day and night, this was simply a wish come true. He was just a small jailer in the dungeon but staying in this dark underground all day long was not much different from being a prisoner.

Wanting to take revenge was no different from daydreaming when the other party was a genius of the Phoenixes.

A rumor came from the dungeon that Sir Feng Xinxiao had completely taken control of the Phoenixes, so Feng Xiang and the others would be imprisoned here for their entire lives. After hearing this news, the flames in Bei San’s heart finally could not be suppressed.

“Call me Grandpa Bei San, and I’ll let you off today,” Bei San said with a smile.

“Wishful thinking, wishful thinking. I’ll be out very soon. That will be the day you die!”

Feng Xiang was also furious. He did not think that he would be played by a sc*mbag.

“I think you’re the one who’s dreaming. Sir Feng Xinxiao has said that you’ll never leave this place!” Bei San sneered. If he did not know about this news, he would not have dared to act recklessly.

“You still dare to glare at me?” Seeing that Feng Xiang still dared to glare at him, Bei San was flustered and exasperated. He whipped a few times but found that there was not much effect. He picked up a piece of iron from the burning brazier and stared at Feng Xiang. “This thing has been tempered by demonic flames for 3 days and 3 nights. Tell me, if it’s placed on your eyes, what kind of effect do you think it’ll have? Would your sealed phoenix body still be safe and sound?”

“How dare you!” Feng Xiang cursed.

Bei San slowly walked over. “You left an indelible scar on my face back then. Now, I want to see if your eyes will be left with a scar if this iron piece is inserted into your eyes.”

“You’re crazy!” Feng Xiang’s pupils constricted. His phoenix body was now sealed, so he was no different from an ordinary person. If he was injured by this thing, it would probably leave an indelible mark. Unless he could recover his strength, his eyes would probably not be preserved.

Bei San approached step by step, and he shouted savagely, “Yes, you’re right, I’m crazy! I’ve been in this dark place for all these years!”

The metal piece in his hand suddenly jabbed, and Feng Xiang immediately felt a rush of heat. He closed his eyes tightly. At the spur of the moment, there was a bang. It was followed by the sound of the metal piece falling to the ground and Bei San’s scream.

Feng Xiang opened his eyes and found that Bei San had fallen to the ground. His body was burned by the demonic flames on the ground, and he was screaming in pain.

“Elder Feng Jiang, Elder Feng Yu, why are you here?” Feng Xiang noticed the 2 people walking over from afar.

“We’ve made you suffer these past few days. We’re here to bring you out,” Feng Yu said.

“You should go back first to avoid being implicated by me. Feng Xinxiao is ruthless. If he knows that you saved me, he might also make a move on you.” Feng Xiang shook his head.

Feng Yu was a little touched. He said in a deep voice, “It was Great Ancestor who asked us to bring you out. Feng Xinxiao is already dead…”

“Dead?” Feng Xiang’s eyes were filled with surprise, “Did Great Ancestor kill him? That’s not right. If Great Ancestor was willing to help, he wouldn’t have watched us being captured into the dungeon. Feng Xinxiao had a fortuitous encounter, so he’ll surely be groomed as the next generation’s successor. Great Ancestor wouldn’t hurt him.”

“Feng Xinxiao was eliminated by Ou Yangming,” Feng Jiang said in a deep voice.

“Ou Yangming!” Feng Xiang was shocked and in disbelief.
