When the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One and Multi-armed King Kong looked in the direction Ou Yangming was looking in, they were stunned.
It was an empty ground with holes, which were marks that were left behind from the fight earlier. Nonetheless, everything over there could be seen at a glance, how could someone be hiding there?
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One frowned and looked dubiously at Ou Yangming. Instead, Multi-armed King Kong was extremely confident in him. Although deep down it did not think that someone could be hiding there, it still took a step forward and extended its palm the size of a palm-leaf fan to swing at that empty space.
"Boom..."
An enormous pressure squeezed the air such that a piercing whistle could be heard. Multi-armed King Kong did not go all-out, but the effect caused by its palm was still appalling.
A visible ripple was immediately seen in that area. The ripple spread outward like a wave and gave off subtle explosive sounds. f𝐫𝚎𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝗻o𝘃𝗲l - 🅽🅽novel
The eyes of the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One and Multi-armed King Kong lit up right away. If they had attacked aimlessly, their powers would not have caused any anomalies to appear in this area because they were scattered. Even if there was an interspatial fluctuation, they might not have been sharp enough to notice it.
On the other hand, when everything was gathered in that small area, even the slightly abnormal phenomenon was magnified.
"Hmph!" The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One scoffed, and a fierce look flickered in its eyes. Even so, instead of making a move right away, it smirked at Multi-armed King Kong.
It was true that the young fellow had resisted 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts and possessed greater potential, it was still a newly advanced Venerable One, after all, hence it needed to be further polished to grow.
In this case, Qiu Chengwang was unquestionably the best grindstone at the moment.
Needless to say, the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One would only make such a choice because it was observing the fight. If not, it would rather smack Qiu Chengwang into meat paste than let Multi-armed King Kong take any risks.
"Roar—"
Multi-armed King Kong straightened its body and leaped into that area. It was bright-eyed like an invincible warlord as though it never attached much importance to the formidable experienced Venerable One.
Earlier when they exchanged blows, Multi-armed King Kong was still concerned about Ou Yangming's safety, so it dared not attack without any reservation. Since the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One was holding the line on the side, it was no longer restricted.
As for whether Qiu Chengwang could still hurt Ou Yangming under the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One's nose, it was out of Multi-armed King Kong's consideration.
After all, if Qiu Chengwang was capable of doing that, he would have taken them down long ago. Why did he not make a move when he trapped them in his Illusion Formation?
With that, Multi-armed King Kong continued to punch the void in this area. Since it locked on to a direction, it would not hesitate anymore. Punch after punch, it gathered its power as a Venerable One, and the powers overlapped until they became more forceful.
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow. At this point, he could confirm that something was indeed weird about this area, and it was probably another formation that was set up by Qiu Chengwang. Nevertheless, the formation was so remarkable that it truly exceeded his imagination.
King Kong had just only advanced, but it was a Venerable One, after all.
Every punch that it made communicated with the universe's power, by which their powers could not be compared by Spiritualists at all. Despite the valiant fist powers, the defense in this area still could not be instantly destroyed.
Ou Yangming finally understood why the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One crushed the Illusion Formation in the most domineering and unreasonable way as soon as it arrived. It was because that was the fastest way to ruin the formation map. If not, once they delayed more time in a formation map that was set up by a formation master, nobody knew what would happen in the end.
Reborn in Paradise.
When Ou Yangming first met Qiu Chengwang, he did not pay too much attention to him. He had seen many Venerable Ones so unless they had distinguished strengths or possessed special abilities, he was no longer moved by them anymore.
However, the young fellow became very intrigued by Qiu Chengwang.
Going against an enemy using formation maps was similar to using pieces of equipment but with a different approach. Moreover, Ou Yangming had to admit that formation maps were far mightier than ordinary pieces of equipment.
At the very least, he did not have pieces of equipment that could resist these formation maps.
"Boom..."
All of a sudden, a thunderous explosion was heard in the void. The space of nothingness finally exploded, and it became bright as if a transparent protective layer was torn off.
An illusory figure swayed in front. Qiu Chengwang stared at Ou Yangming with a ghastly look on his face. He looked bewildered and afraid.
He was not fearful of Ou Yangming's strength, but the young fellow's searching ability.
It was worth noting that Ou Yangming was not the only one present; there were 2 other Venerable Ones with him. In particular, one of them was even a top-grade Venerable One.
If Ou Yangming was not present, Qiu Chengwang was confident that he could get away from the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One by relying on his level of attainment in formation maps. A top-grade Venerable One might be powerful, but what was the point if one could not locate one's enemy?
Who knew, Ou Yangming found Qiu Chengwang's hiding spot. What frightened the man more was he could not tell how the young fellow managed to do it.
If the formation map that Qiu Chengwang set up lost its effect, he was not sure that he could block the joint attack from the 2 Venerable Ones.
"Woosh..."
Multi-armed King Kong became fiery as soon as it saw Qiu Chengwang. An intense hatred surged up from its heart, thus it struck the man's head with its gigantic fist without any hesitation.
The fist's power could not be mentioned on equal terms with that of the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One, but it was not something that could be easily withstood by Qiu Chengwang.
His face darkened, and he swayed his body slightly in a bizarre way, where he seemed to have vanished from his spot.
It was a magical skill that involved space, which could not only deceive one's eyes but could also imitate one's sensing ability and release it through the air.
Having said that, Multi-armed King Kong was not an ordinary Venerable One because it conquered 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts when it advanced. It was far from the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One at the moment, but it subconsciously affected the entire space's power when it punched.
A fierce punch penetrated Qiu Chengwang's body. The face of his swaying body changed, then a "pop" was heard as his body exploded.
"An illusion!"
Multi-armed King Kong roared as if it did not expect to encounter another illusion.
Next, a palm had somehow approached it without a sound.
Qiu Chengwang's exploded body had unknowingly appeared behind the king kong to attack it.
Given Qiu Chengwang's ego, he would not have degraded himself to do this against a newly advanced Venerable One, but he could not care too much when the Venerable One was backed by a top-grade Venerable Ones.
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One's eyes flickered, but it suppressed its anger and did not stop the black-robed man.
This was because it believed that Multi-armed King Kong was capable enough to deal with the situation.
Sure enough, the second the palm almost touched Multi-armed King Kong, the king kong's fur suddenly expanded. They were initially soft and were laying on its skin, but they straightened up shockingly like steel needles.
Qiu Chengwang's face changed. His body swayed again and disappeared.
Being watched by the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One, he dared not continue to show off. Since he failed to sneak an attack against the king kong, he did not have the guts to stay any longer.
That said, just as he flashed away, Multi-armed King Kong jumped as if spring was attached to it.
If Qiu Chengwang was determined to flee, Multi-armed King Kong might not be able to find his aura. Since he made a move, given the king kong's specialty, it could instantly lock on to his Qi momentum as it was not affected by any formation.
In just the blink of an eye, Multi-armed King Kong exploded. It wielded its fists alternately, causing fearsome auras and destructive energies to blast toward Qiu Chengwang.
Qiu Chengwang dodged left and right. He was forced to use his body technique to the maximum within that short period.
This was the true strength of an experienced powerhouse, where he did not panic at all even when he was attacked by stormy attacks. The only thing was that the man was half-focused on the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One while he evaded the fist forces.
It was the significance of a top-grade Venerable One. As long as it was present, even if it did not intend to make a move at all, it was similar to an oppressive mountain.
At the spur of the moment, Qiu Chengwang shook his wrist and retrieved a formation board.
This was Reborn in Paradise's ultimate trick. Perhaps they were not formidable enough if they merely relied on their martial arts, but they could achieve many unimaginable things with the help of formation maps.
Nonetheless, as soon as Qiu Chengwang retrieved the formation board, before he could even release it, an unbelievably strong power shrouded him from above.
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One's cold voice was heard."Trying to use an external object? Die!"
This was a top-grade Venerable One's threat out-and-out. Its voice sounded like rumbling Heavenly Thunderbolts, whose vibrations could hurt one's eardrums.
Qiu Chengwang was still holding his formation board in his hand, but he dared not throw it out anymore.
The exceedingly intense killing intent invaded every cell inside his body, hence he dared not take the risk at all.
If he had set up the formation board in advance, he might be able to stop the top-grade Venerable One for a while. How could he escape such a Venerable One's attack if he had not thrown the formation board out?
The 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One opened its mouth and smiled sinisterly."You—practice with my child. If you dare to play any tricks, I'll skin you alive!"
Qiu Chengwang turned as pale as a sheet. A ferocious look flashed in his eyes.
Threatened by the 10, 000 Beasts Venerable One, he also incited his vicious nature, and he wanted to fight Multi-armed King Kong desperately.
