Jalan Abadi ke Surga - Chapter 719 - Reinforcement From The Insects

The old macaque roared violently. Its body was as enormous as a mountain, and its face looked frightening at that instant.

It stomped its feet and flashed to the front of Ghost-clawed Venerable One, then it swung its giant fists and struck the insect’s jaw. Sure enough, the insect Venerable One’s body flew into the sky as if it was a kite with a broken string. As for the old macaque, its body transformed into light and shadow as it followed the insect into the sky. With that, they entered the clouds in a split second.

Deafening Heavenly Thunderbolts filled the air. The old macaque gained the upper hand due to its sneak attack at the beginning, but Ghost-clawed Venerable One was an equal-ranked powerhouse, after all, hence it settled down very quickly. Before long, a crazy and intense fight broke out between them.

This was how mighty Venerable Ones were if they were head-on against each other. Even from the inside of the Big Mountain-guarding Formation, Ou Yangming and the others seemed to be able to sense the fearsome pressures from the sky. When Venerable Ones made comprehensive attacks, the sensation that would be stirred up would be beyond the imaginations of ordinary beings.

Nonetheless, the boundless sky was the only place the Venerable Ones could attack each other without any restraints.

When Ou Yangming and the others looked up at the sky from a distance away, it was evident that the top-grade Spiritualists had a strong desire.

A Venerable One—they were only a step away from reaching the level of the 2 powerhouses in the sky. Even so, it was such a difficult step to take that countless God-favored ones were obstructed. In fact, even Immortal Fox dared not say that it could successfully take the step forward.

Therefore, when they sensed the rumbles in the sky, their moods were so complicated that they could not be put into words.

Ou Yangming’s eyes flickered. Normally, he would pay attention to fights between such powerhouses. At the end of the day, those were Venerable Ones, and their fight would help him gain a deeper understanding of the natural law.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming curbed his thought after only sensing it briefly.

This was because the giant centipede, which was transformed from the poisonous pill’s spirit, was still entangled with Gold-bodied Venerable One outside the Big Mountain-guarding Formation.

The poisonous pill’s spirit was a spiritual body. Even if it formed a seemingly tangible body, it was not real, so it could be disintegrated into nothing with a flash of thought.

Having said that, Gold-bodied Venerable One somehow adopted a special trick to materialize the spiritual body.

Seeing as the 2 other insect Venerable Ones were still being held up by their enemies, Gold-bodied Venerable One had a ferocious and terrifying look in its eyes. It suddenly widened its large mouth to bite the centipede’s body.

It chose the spot where Ghost-clawed Venerable One attacked earlier because it was where the poisonous pill was hiding.

Who knew, when Gold-bodied Venerable One bit the centipede and almost split it into 2, it was shocked to find that it missed.

No poisonous pill was found; the spirit’s core, which allowed the big centipede to take form, had shifted somewhere else.

Moreover, Gold-bodied Venerable One also realized that the centipede began to slide as though it was going to break free at any time.

Gold-bodied Venerable One scoffed angrily. It immediately released a special power to seize the spiritual body, then it opened its mouth again to bite the spiritual body’s head.

After Ghost-clawed Venerable One was taken away by the old macaque, Gold-bodied Venerable One knew their victory would depend on its power.

Being a Venerable One, its abilities were more than this. When it went all-out at this moment, immediate results could be seen.

“Pow…”

The big centipede’s head and bodies split, where the energies that were gathered inside burst out, causing its head to turn into nothing.

Gold-bodied Venerable One was not harmed by the explosion at all. It looked highly-spirited, and it seemed to be scanning the remains of the centipede to locate the poisonous pill.

Despite that, it suddenly widened its eyes.

This was because it saw something extremely strange. On the centipede’s neck, its head that had been bitten off grew again. This time, the head was even growing in a slightly deviated direction.

Before Gold-bodied Venerable One could even react to the situation, its body ached as the centipede’s newly grown head bit its body without showing a weak impression.

It was worth noting that Gold-bodied Venerable One’s body was so tough that it was well-known for it among the Insects. On the other hand, as powerful as the centipede was, it was merely a spiritual body. In spite of that, the Venerable One let out a shrill shriek.

The centipede bit a hole in its body. The hole was not big, but thick, ink-like black liquid could be seen at the center of the hole.

It was poison!

The centipede’s illusory mouth was actually filled with intense and lethal poison.

Gold-bodied Venerable One felt its body stiffen. The poison was so strong that it seemed to be mightier than that of the 3 insect races combined.

However, Gold-bodied Venerable One was a potent powerhouse. It twisted its body hard to draw in its humongous body, and it prevented the centipede from resisting it at all. At the same time, immense power gushed toward its wound, causing blood to splatter as it forced the horrifying poison out of its body.

In actuality, Gold-bodied Venerable One would not be bothered if it was normal poison, but it dared not be careless because the poison was related to the poisonous pill’s spirit.

Apart from blood, a part of its flesh was also detached from its body, and it fell to the ground.

The piece of flesh contained Gold-bodied Venerable One’s great power, but it seemed to have become ordinary at this moment and made weird screeching sounds. Following that, the flesh turned into ashes and vanished.

It was clear that the poison carried by the poisonous pill’s spirit was so appalling that even a Venerable One could not resist it.

That said, after learning its lesson this time, Gold-bodied Venerable One became much steadier. Instead of attacking easily, it displayed its tenacity as a Venerable One by strangling the centipede to stop it from moving.

The only problem was that it did not have spare energy to locate the poisonous pill in this situation.

Yuqi the Venerable One sighed a breath of relief in the sky and relaxed a little. Since both parties were in a deadlock, there was no need for him to be so anxious anymore. As long as the Big Mountain-guarding Formation’s change was complete, he would be able to command the Big Formation Light, and the war would be over.

Nonetheless, the ground shook out of the blue.

The continuous vibration sounded louder, then the ground cracked after several breaths. Subsequently, a gigantic figure, who was not inferior to Gold-bodied Venerable One and the poisonous pill’s spirit in terms of its size, emerged from the ground.

Everyone turned to look at the same time, and they were shocked by the hideous monster.

It was also a centipede, which headed toward the poisonous pill’s spirit as soon as it came out. It was so fast that it did not seem proportionate to its massive body.

“10,000-legged Venerable One!”

Gold-bodied Venerable One roared fiercely but was slightly hesitant. Not only did it not let go, but it also exerted more force.

The old centipede was one of the powerhouses invited by Ghost-clawed Venerable One, but it gave many excuses back then and was not willing to invade the Humans at the same time.

Nevertheless, it came out of its hiding spot without warning and targeted the poisonous pill’s spirit.

Ou Yangming, who was maintaining a connection with the spirit through his mental conception, sensed the crisis at once.

This was another Venerable One, and it was an unexpected powerhouse. Its sudden appearance caused everyone to be flustered.

The young fellow could sense that the centipede had only come for the poisonous pill.

‘No, I mustn’t let them have the poisonous pill no matter what.’ This was the only thought that crossed his mind.

Although he did not understand if the various changes undergone by the poisonous pill’s spirit were favorable, he was certain that the insect powerhouses would become mightier if they had the poisonous pill. By then, even if Yuqi the Venerable One could control the Big Mountain-guarding Formation, the Insects would also have the weapon and strategy to resist it.

‘What should I do…

‘What should I do?’

Countless thoughts crossed Ou Yangming’s head. Perhaps the emergency caused him to be quick-witted, he was struck with an idea.

The poisonous pill’s spirit understood him at that instant, and it began to act.

Inside the centipede’s gigantic illusory body, the quiet poisonous pill started to spin. Instead of simply spinning, each time it did, numerous unreal images were released from it.

The images arrived at different spots in the centipede’s illusory body, then they turned into poisonous pills and spun quickly too.

With that, a bunch of illusory images was released again. It took only a split second for the centipede’s body to be filled with endless unreal images of the poisonous pill.

Even if Ou Yangming was present, he could not have found the real poisonous pill among the rest.

Spiritual world illusions.

This was the way that Ou Yangming came up with to solve the crisis.

The only thing was that while the poisonous pill’s spirit had a mysterious connection with Ou Yangming, they were not the same person, after all.

This was why even when Ou Yangming presented his power without any reservations, there were plenty of flaws when the poisonous pill’s spirit used it. As a result, while more illusions of the poisonous pill could be made, the 2 insect Venerable Ones were not affected at all.

That being said, it seemed like the illusory poisonous pills were enough.

As soon as the 10,000-legged Venerable One moved its hundreds and thousands of legs to penetrate the centipede’s body, it stopped.

Thousands of identical auras were released from the illusory centipede’s body. They were the poisonous pill’s aura, but there were suddenly thousands of them.
