Chapter 807: Sky-devouring’s Origin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An explosion was heard in the sky as the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s mountainous body kept shrinking until it went back to a normal human’s size.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming had already found out that its build from before was its true body. As for its body at the moment, it was transformed after it advanced into a Venerable One.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One sighed with regret. “He still got away.”

Master Kurong could not help but laugh. “He suffered a hit from our joint attack and flew 5,00 kilometers away using the Blood Flight Light. Heh, he won’t be able to stir up any trouble any time soon.”

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while before he noted, “Master Kurong, he’s a Sky-devouring Evil Remnant, so he has the special ability to devour the flesh and blood of living beings to make up for his loss.”

If ordinary powerhouses—even top-grade Venerable Ones that were on par with Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One—were injured as such, they would need to recuperate for a long time. On the other hand, Sky-devouring Evil Remnants were unreasonable beings. As long as they had sufficient essences of flesh and blood, they could recover to their peak states within a short period.

Who knew, Master Kurong simply grinned and responded, “Master Kurong, don’t worry, he won’t be able to.”

Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He asked in shock, “Why?”

Master Kurong reached out and pointed, causing a small white flower to appear on his fingertip. It was small, but it was full of life. When its vitality spread, everyone felt refreshed as though they had just had a good sleep.

Countless thoughts crossed Ou Yangming’s mind. He soon came to a sudden realization and questioned, “Master Kurong, you power… Is it able to restrain his special ability?”

It was not that Ou Yangming was slow, but Li Xin’s power was the same as that of the giant head in his sea of consciousness. Even so, the giant head did not react to Master Kurong’s life force at all nor was it afraid of the power. Therefore, the young fellow did not think about this possibility.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One laughed out loud. “Master Ou, you’re right. Hehe, unless that fella forces Master Kurong’s life force out of his body, he won’t be able to recover. That said…” It scorned as it continued, “Once the aura enters his body, it’ll be rooted inside like a big tree with wild grasses around it. As such, he’ll have a lot to suffer if he wants to uproot it.”

When the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One spoke, it sounded like it took pleasure in Li Xin’s misfortune.

Nevertheless, Master Kurong did not find it strange. After all, how regretful would they be if Ou Yangming was seized this time? This was why they hated Li Xin from the bottom of their hearts but unfortunately, they could not kill him.

In that case, it was only natural for the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One to vent its anger at this moment.

Ou Yangming nodded and sensed the vitality that filled the void. When he then sensed the giant head, which was unconcerned about the aura, he was dubious.

Master Kurong slowly looked up and chuckled as he asked, “Fellow Blood Shadow, can you come down here for a talk?”

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked up as well, but it had a rather complicated look in its eyes.

Blood Shadow hesitated for a while before he flashed and landed without a sound. It was actually quite risky for him to do this because his cultivation base was far from that of Li Xin. If the 2 top-grade Venerable Ones fell out with Blood Shadow, while he had various secret techniques to protect him, he might not be able to find a way out.

Despite that, after looking at Ou Yangming, Blood Shadow gritted his teeth and came down.

“Master Ou, that person was Li Xin. He’s also Sir Devil God’s follower, but he’s a Venerable One from Zhangzhou,” Blood Shadow stated in a deep voice, “He has retreated this time, but he’s definitely not resigned to the outcome, so you must be more careful in the future.”

Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One looked at each other as they found it odd.

Ou Yangming and Blood Shadow were clearly enemies, but why did it seem like there was an unknown connection between them?

Master Kurong expressed, “Fellow Blood Shadow, thanks to the auras that you left behind, we were able to arrive in time. Thank you.” He actually placed his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One hesitated for a while, but it also cupped its hands to thank the man.

Top-grade Venerable Ones were incredibly overbearing, but they were more so rational beings. A fact was a fact—no matter what they thought about Blood Shadow, since they owed him a debt of gratitude, they would not pretend to be ignorant.

Blood Shadow flashed to avoid their salutations. “You’re being too polite.”

Master Kurong shook his head, then he asked in confusion, “Fellow Blood Shadow, something puzzles me.” He paused for a short while before he cut to the chase. “Since Li Xin’s a Venerable One from Zhangzhou, why didn’t he hesitate about coming all the way here?”


Zhangzhou and Danzhou were more than 5,000 kilometers away. Given that Li Xin was a top-grade Venerable One from Zhangzhou, the fact that he traveled here to attack an Intermediate Spiritualist seemed to be unexplainable even if the Spiritualist was the Phoenixes’ messenger.

Blood Shadow instantly had a weird look on his face. He turned to look at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One cleared its throat and explained, “It’s a long story—I previously pursued Blood Shadow until we arrived at Zhangzhou, which was when we met Li Xin.”

“Oh,” Master Kurong uttered. He looked quietly at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, causing this greatest powerhouse from the 10,000 Beasts Ridge to flush.

At this point, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One harbored more hatred against Li Xin. ‘It’s all that fella’s fault. If I meet him again, I’ll make sure to fight until he dies.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Senior Blood Shadow, why was Li Xin in hot pursuit of me? I don’t think that I’ve ever offended him…”

Blood Shadow kept quiet for some time before he finally sighed. “Li Xin used to be Sir Devil God’s loyal follower, but he has now betrayed sir…” A look of resentment and strong killing intent could be seen in his eyes.

Having said that, this was also because Li Xin was not present. If not, Blood Shadow would not have dared to protest at all.

Ou Yangming and the rest were dumbfounded because they did not think that there was such a disagreement and enmity between the Sky-devouring Evil Remnants.

Blood Shadow looked deeply at Ou Yangming and warned him, “Master Ou, Sir Devil God’s followers in Zhangzhou are of a bigger force than in Danzhou. Since Li Xin has returned, he might draw more powerhouses here.” He paused for a moment before he added carefully, “If it’s possible, please conceal your identity and leave Danzhou for the time being.”

“Hmph!” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One scoffed. “Nonsense. Aren’t those just some Sky-devouring Evil Remnants? When was Danzhou ever afraid!”

Blood Shadow was furious, but he knew very well that he was not the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s match. Hence, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction but showed a disapproving look on his face.

“10,000 Beasts Venerable One, you don’t need to be afraid at all, but what about Master Ou? The 2 of you have come today, but can you guarantee that you’ll always be there whenever Master Ou’s in danger?” Blood Shadow asked.

Master Kurong and the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One exchanged glances, and their faces turned dark. In fact, the latter, which was known for being hot-tempered, also felt that it was an unusually tricky problem.

Blood Shadow sighed and continued, “Master Ou’s the Phoenixes’ messenger. The identity’s his greatest reliance, but it’s also the biggest temptation.” He emphasized half-intentionally, “His identity’s unquestionably the sweetest temptation for Sir Devil God’s followers like me.”

A strange look flickered in Master Kurong’s eyes as he asked, “Blood Shadow, legend has it that Sky-devouring Devil God’s a descendant from the Dragons. Is that true?”

Ou Yangming looked up abruptly, which was evident that he was taken aback by the news. He began to breathe heavier than before.

The Dragons were similar to the Phoenixes, where they were both the most formidable and irresistible races according to legend. Moreover, Ou Yangming had also witnessed from Lil’ Red’s spiritual world the scene where a dragon and a phoenix fought for hegemony. Based on the image alone, he could sense their fearsome and destructive auras.

Although the fight between the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and Li Xin could be considered earth-shattering, as compared to that of the dragon and the phoenix… Ou Yangming could not bear to make any comparisons.

Blood Shadow fell silent for a while and glanced at the others with his lightning eyes. Following that, he suddenly turned around and transformed into a red light as he zoomed into the distance.

He did not answer, but the rest understood what he meant.

Silence was gold—Blood Shadow chose to admit it tacitly.

With that, the 3 remaining people looked at each other and shut their mouths, but the same word echoed in their heads.

‘Dragon!’

They seemed to have vaguely seen a roughly 33 kilometers divine beast raging in the world as if it could shake the ground and the mountains by swaying its tail.

The word alone was similar to a humongous mountain, which oppressed them so much that they could not catch their breaths anymore.

Ou Yangming gasped and sensed the peculiar head in his sea of consciousness. His heart was in turmoil as he was perturbed.

‘No wonder this giant head became pitted against my Military Fire that represented the Heavenly Phoenix Fire after it grew. Even inside my sea of consciousness, they even dominated their respective sides without disturbing each other at all.’

It turned out that the giant head carried a power that could resist the Phoenixes. Ou Yangming did not know it well before this, but he now found out that the power belonged to the Dragons.

The Sky-devouring Evil Remnants were the remains of the dragons’ forces. Even though they were not supported by the frightening dragon powerhouse anymore, they could still gain firm footholds in the Spiritual Realm while being detested by everyone else.

Ou Yangming had gained the title of the Phoenixes’ messenger, but he accidentally provoked such a mighty enemy. At this point, he did not know the title was good or bad for him.

Master Kurong sighed and retrieved his flying carpet. “Master Ou, there’s always a solution to a problem, so don’t worry about these now. Let’s hurry on with our journey, or they’ll really cause big trouble.”

He was a Venerable Blacksmith, but he did not know how to refine flying carpets as everyone’s talent was different, thus this carpet was purchased by Mount Wuzhi from outside of Danzhou. While its raw materials were exceptionally precious, its speed, appearance, or comfort level could not be mentioned on equal terms with the fine flying carpet that was refined by Ou Yangming.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming would not mind. He nodded and curbed his thoughts, then he swayed and jumped onto the flying carpet.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One went on the carpet as well. Afterward, Master Kurong controlled it and flew into the distance.
