Chapter 1068: You Guys Continue

“Boom, boom, boom…”
The sound of explosions was like an incessant violent storm. One after another, loud booms rang out continuously.
In the air, the violent wind that was originally wreaking havoc had strangely stopped. This storm that seemed to be able to destroy the entire world had become insignificant under the power of the 4 Rulers.
This was even after the dragon and phoenix Rulers had tried their best to restrain their powers. If they fought recklessly, the damage they would cause would be thousands of times greater than what was happening at the moment.
Ou Yangming watched silently from below. He finally understood why the Spiritual Realm did not want the powerhouses of the Dragons and the Phoenixes to go there. It was because they were too powerful. The powers they released were far from what a Venerable One could compare to. When a Venerable One exerted one’s full strength, one would also cause huge damage to the environment but that kind of damage still had a certain limit, and the Great Wide World could withstand it. As long as a certain amount of time was given, it could slowly recover.
On the other hand, when dragon and phoenix Rulers fought, the result of the damage was entirely different.
Their strengths were superior, and they had faintly come into contact with the origin power, hence they could even cause fundamental damage to a certain area’s origin power.
Once such a thing happened, the area would be equivalent to becoming a land of death.
The Big Ruins of the Spiritual Realm was undoubtedly a land of death. There were still living creatures there, but the harsh environment was unimaginable.
That was because the Big Ruins contained powerful energy, and the powers of the Dragons and the Phoenixes could not eradicate it. Otherwise, not a single blade of grass would grow in the Big Ruins.
Ou Yangming closed his eyes and silently sensed the aftermath of the battle between the 4 Rulers. He silently wondered how he would fight against them if he was involved. The Rulers did not really fight with their full strength at the moment, and he had fought with Long Xiao before, but having the chance to experience the chaotic battle between Rulers was a rare opportunity.
After an hour, Ou Yangming suddenly remembered something. His expression changed slightly, and he cried out internally, ‘Oh no.’
The rattan that he had arranged as his scapegoat was stained with his blood and was lifelike. Nonetheless, it was not his real body, after all. Even if it had a certain amount of power to protect it, how could it hold on for long due to the attack that was going on around it?
Even though the 4 Rulers held back tried their best to restrain their strength when they attacked to prevent touching that area, every time they attacked, there would more or less be aftershocks. They intentionally controlled and blocked a portion of their powers, but some still inevitably came into contact with the protective power over the rattan.
Finally, the protective power had been weakened to the extreme.
“Pow…”
With a crisp sound, the protective power surrounding the rattan substitute could not bear the weight and exploded gloriously.
The dragon and phoenix Rulers were fighting fiercely but at least half of their attention was still on this area.
When they saw that the protective power was broken, they stopped at the same time. This was not because they pitied Ou Yangming but because they were afraid that if they continued to fight, the Phoenixes’ Imperial Bloodline would disappear.
To them, while the protection was broken, Ou Yangming still looked like he was in a coma. As long as he was here, it was enough.
Feng Yi stared at the 2 dragon RUlers. His eyes were full of anger as he said, “Long Xiao, Long Ting, you shameless guys!”
Long Xiao laughed out loud. “Hah, what do you mean by shameless? If it weren’t for us exploding the space and severely injuring this fella, could you have gotten a chance to obtain the Imperial Bloodline? Dream on!”
“Hmph, Long Xiao, if you didn’t have the information we provided, could you have pinpointed this fella’s location so accurately?” Feng Yi said angrily, “You dragons better not push your luck!”
Ou Yangming, who was listening from below, could not contain his anger. No wonder the Phoenixes’ Teleportation Formation had an accident, and that the Dragons’ auras could also be sensed. It turned out that the phoenix powerhouses had leaked the information and lured the dragon powerhouses here to attack him.
This was a way to kill by borrowing someone else’s knife. The Phoenixes were very crafty.
“Heh, pushing our luck?” Long Ting shouted loudly, “I can’t wait to exterminate all of you!” He suddenly opened his huge mouth and spat out a mouthful of intense and unique dragon breath.
The breath turned into an endless black fog, which carried a fierce poison. A slight contact with it would cause one’s life force to be extinguished.
Despite that, Feng Yi was not afraid at all. He sneered, and an endless flame rose from his body. The flame could burn the world and destroy everything.
The Phoenixes’ sacred fire and the Dragons’ breath—the completely different but supreme powers in the world—collided in the next moment. This time, though Long Ting and Feng Yi restrained their powers still, the aftershock of the collision that soared into the sky still turned into ripples visible to the naked eye.
Feng Ai and Long Xiao frowned. They waved their hands and unleashed their strength to weaken the aftershocks.
Having said that, some aftershocks that were insignificant to them still landed on the substitute on the ground.
“Bang…”
The rattan substitute stiffened slightly before it immediately exploded, turning into fine powder that disappeared with the wind.
Upon seeing this, the 4 Rulers in the sky were stunned. They looked at each other and could not believe what they were seeing.
Feng Yi and Feng Ai had never seen Ou Yangming in person, but they were well aware of the commotion he had caused in their race. When the old man exhorted them, he had also repeatedly told them that the human was far more powerful than they could imagine.
As for Long Xiao, fighting against Ou Yangming was a humiliation that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Therefore, the Dragons were actually more fearful of Ou Yangming than the Phoenixes were.
Since they all understood how terrifying Ou Yangming was, they did not pay too much attention even when they felt traces of the aftershocks moving down when they attacked.
This was because they thought that while Ou Yangming had been severely injured from the space explosion, it would be impossible for a powerhouse of his level to not be able to withstand the weak aftershocks. Even if he was unconscious at the moment, the aftershocks could not have hurt him.
However, as they could see
After the slight impacts from the aftershocks, Ou Yangming’s body turned into ashes…
He did not collapse but turned into ashes.
“That… That isn’t the young fella!” Long Xiao suddenly widened his eyes and roared angrily, “Feng Yi, Feng Ai, how dare you trick me.”
The phoenix Rulers looked at each other and were also puzzled. They broke through the space and tracked the young fellow using the secret technique. After seeing Ou Yangming on the ground and sensing the Qi and blood power in his body, they verified his identity. In any case, they did not expect that the body was just a small substitute.
“Hmph, so what if I tricked you?” Feng Wei said angrily, “You were courting death when you decided to quietly follow me!”
Long Xiao flew into a rage. His aura surged and as he waved his huge claws, the space trembled.
The Dragons and the Phoenixes were mortal enemies, and the 4 of them were equally powerful. They had some misgivings earlier and did not dare to use their full strengths, so how could they hold themselves back now?
Feng Ai was not willing to be outdone and also rushed forward. The 2 enormous bodies fiercely collided, and a loud noise shook the world.
The aftermath of the collision this time was far from what the previous ones could compare to. A huge tornado seemed to have appeared from the void, and it swept out upside down. The tornado gathered the power of the dragon and phoenix powerhouses. No matter where it passed, it wrapped around everything and crushed them into pieces.
Long Ting and Feng Yi were watching from the side. A circle of light ripple appeared around each of them, blocking all the strong winds.
Only powerhouses of their level could guarantee that they would not be affected in such a large-scale battle.
The tornado grew larger, and its range also grew wider. It did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
In just a moment, the tornado had landed on the ground, rolling up endless sand and even arriving at Ou Yangming’s hiding place. The wind power was even more exaggerated and terrifying than natural wind as if it was going to lift up the whole land.
Ou Yangming, who was hiding below, frowned slightly. He had hidden cleverly, but he did not hide too far. He did not expect that once the powerhouses went all out, the aftershocks would actually be so exaggerated. At this moment, his body seemed to be pulled by numerous hands as if they were going to tear his body into pieces.
The aftermath of the strong winds could not really hurt him, but he could no longer hide in such an environment.
Ou Yangming sighed helplessly and waved his hands gently.
As a result, a light ring appeared around his body. The color of the light ring was very dim. Even if an ordinary person used all their vision, it would be difficult for them to notice it. That said, this faintly discernible light circle produced great strength and blocked all the strong winds.
Nevertheless, once he unleashed his strength, how could he continue to hide?
Right away, the 4 powerhouses looked over at the same time but with different looks on their faces. The expressions contained within each gaze were different.
Surprise, resentment, joy, and greed!
“Ou Yangming!” Long Xiao halted. He stared at Ou Yangming and uttered his name.
Even Feng Wei subconsciously stopped. His eyes were bright as he looked at Ou Yangming. Those eyes that were filled with greed seemed to want to swallow the young fellow whole.
Ou Yangming sighed softly. He helplessly shrugged and said, “I’m Ou Yangming. Greetings, seniors.” He smiled apologetically as though he was elated. “I was just passing by unintentionally and didn’t intend to disturb you. You guys continue, continue!” His gaze shifted, and he cautiously asked, “Uhm…. Can I take my leave first?”
