Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 60

The Brown Earth Bear quivered for a while before charging.

Ou Yangming made the shocking discovery that its injuries had not recovered, and it was still bleeding. Despite that, its movements were not affected by its injuries, and it was much faster than when it went wild earlier.

“Split up, let's go!” Yu Hailiang's voice echoed in the dense forest as he ran away quickly.

Jiang Chengwei stomped his foot. “Let's go!”

Subsequently, all archers escaped as n.o.body dared to stay. Even if someone noticed that Ou Yangming was nowhere to be found, n.o.body dared to bring it up.

The others who were surrounding the Brown Earth Bear earlier turned around to escape with all their might. Perhaps they were all hoping that the brown bear would pursue someone else.

If two armies were battling, Yu Hailiang would never abandon his team to escape.

However, they were currently up against a mad half-spirit beast that had even stimulated the Blood Meridian Power. Compared to the Brown Earth Bear, they were just like defenseless ants that could be trampled over easily.

One of the regulations in the military camp was that if something like this happened, soldiers must split up to escape instead of putting up a desperate fight. The further they were from each other, the more the time gained for their comrades. On the contrary, they were foolish if they stayed to resist the half-spirit beast.

Therefore, everyone dispersed and escaped without any hesitation once they confirmed that the Brown Earth Bear had incited the Blood Meridian Power.

Nevertheless, the brown bear was extremely violent at the moment, and it hated the humans that encircled him, hence it was not going to let them leave easily.

“Pow…”

A soldier who was escaping turned pale when the Brown Earth Bear swung its paw, so he raised his s.h.i.+eld hopelessly. The s.h.i.+eld could not withstand the giant paw at all, thus the man was instantly crushed into meat paste.

Following that, the brown bear sped up to catch up to another person, and the person's head was crushed when it slammed it with its paw.

Ou Yangming breathed deeply then held it in, not moving an inch.

He felt regretful. If the powerful Brown Earth Bear noticed him, he would definitely be dead.

The brown bear then caught up to another four soldiers by moving faster, and it killed them with its paw too. Ou Yangming witnessed everything clearly through the Vision attribute.

Just as he thought that the Brown Earth Bear was going to keep exerting its invincible might to kill more soldiers, the big fellow swayed then collapsed to the ground with its head first.

Ou Yangming was stunned, but he dared not move an inch. He looked at the brown bear quietly, and heard his inner voice.

'Is this fella dead?'

It was true that it became unparalleled after it awakened the Blood Meridian Power, but it was hurt by three explosive arrows before that.

Additionally, the explosive arrows were covered in plenty of Bewitching Gra.s.s.

After a moment of hesitation, Ou Yangming gritted his teeth and climbed down the tree before going roughly ten meters behind the Brown Earth Bear. He picked up a stone from the ground, then threw it hard at the beast.

Although he lent his military saber to Yan Haobo, his equipment set had 7 points of Power in total. The stone was thrown with force at the brown bear, but it did not react to it at all.

Ou Yangming was delighted, but he did not act rashly. He retrieved his dagger.

The weapon also had the explosive skill, and it was a High Grade Rank Five. When he turned his wrist to throw the dagger, it exploded on the Brown Earth Bear's body, which resulted in new wounds.

Even then, the brown bear did not move.

Ou Yangming was finally relieved. The beast could have faked its death when the stone hit it earlier, but it was impossible for it to remain unmoving when it was attacked by an explosive weapon.

Next, Ou Yangming approached the Brown Earth Bear. Upon seeing the carca.s.s that had the size of a giant as compared to his body size, his palm began sweating.

Nonetheless, he knew that time was precious at the moment.

Yu Hailiang and the others escaped as hard as they could without wanting to be left behind, but they would soon realize what happened, and would return to take a look.

Ou Yangming retrieved another dagger.

By using his Military Fire, he attached the Devouring attribute on it.

Afterward, he stabbed the dagger into the Brown Earth Bear's biggest wound.

If the beast's body was undamaged, Ou Yangming could not have even cut its skin apart with the dagger. After all, the dagger was not a military saber, and the might that could be unleashed by them in a fight were not the same.

Since the brown bear was already terribly wounded, he could stab it with his dagger easily.

At the next moment, an unimaginable, enormous power gushed into Ou Yangming's body.

'Oh G.o.d, what kind of power is this!' Ou Yangming s.h.i.+vered and widened his eyes. He clearly felt that the power that he was absorbing was completely different from the ones in the past.

He had absorbed many things with the Devouring attribute such as humans, domestic pigs, and different kinds of ferocious beasts, but none of them gave him this feeling.

The essential Qi in his body began circulating smoothly, and before long, he felt that his Dantian Light became brighter.

Force Grade Cla.s.s Four!

Without the need to check, Ou Yangming knew that his essential Qi had advanced to the next level due to the suddenly gained Qi and blood.

Apart from that, the rich Qi and blood even transformed into essential Qi right away, which also became so plentiful that he had the feeling that he was going to advance further.

However, he suddenly felt pain.

It was a feeling from his meridians, and it was about to spread to the other parts of his body.

Ou Yangming's face changed. He quickly knew that it was because his essential Qi grew too quickly that his body was unable to withstand it.

In fact, essential Qi and one's body quality were directly proportional to each other. Every time one's essential Qi increased, one's body quality would also improve by a certain margin, causing one to become more powerful. Nevertheless, Ou Yangming's essential Qi was growing so quickly that his body could not adapt to it.

It was not a huge problem because his body quality could be enhanced through training for a period of time.

In spite of that, it was Ou Yangming's first time encountering something like that. Feeling frightened, he immediately pulled his dagger out to stop the flow of power.

Even though it was a rare opportunity, he dared not take the risk. Moreover, he was very confident that he could grow fast. Since that was the case, the current risk was not worth it.

When Ou Yangming scanned the Brown Earth Bear's body, he realized that it did not change much. It was as if the energy that he had devoured was insignificant.

His eyes glowed as he wanted very badly to claim the beast for himself, but he knew very well that it was wishful thinking.

Ou Yangming stomped his feet and was about to leave when something in his mind moved. For some reason, the mental power in the spot between his eyebrows vibrated strangely and was pointing somewhere.

It was a feeling that was unexplainable like the mysterious sixth sense.

Ou Yangming looked at the dagger in his hand, then glanced at the carca.s.s. He leaped to the front of the Brown Earth Bear, and stabbed his dagger into its eye.

Consequently, another energy gushed into his body.

Ou Yangming's body was already so abundant in Qi and blood that he would be forced to transfer them manually into essential Qi if there were more.

Nonetheless, the external power seemed to be different as it did not increase his Qi and blood.

The energy went straight to his mind, and he felt like a stream of hot spring water was flowing in his body. He felt so comfortable that he moaned.

It seemed like a long process, but it was actually done in the blink of an eye.

Right then, the mental power between his eyebrows gushed out to contact the external power, then absorbed it into the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows.

Ou Yangming's eyelids twitched. He came to a sudden realization that the power was mental power.

The Brown Earth Bear was a half-spirit beast, so did it mean that half-spirit beasts had mental power too?

Before this, Ou Yangming successfully stimulated his mental power, but he knew nothing about it, and only learned to control it by accident.

The only thing he knew was that mental power can be transferred and consumed.

Mental power that was consumed could not be recovered unless one slept or rested.

As for how mental power could grow…

Ou Yangming was overthinking this. It was not something that he could fathom yet.

Despite that, if there was one thing he comprehended, it was that mental power could be upgraded through absorbing a half-spirit beast's energy in its mind.

Of course, half-spirit beasts were exceptionally rare, and were very powerful. It was not something that he could shake up for now.

This was only an accident, so he must absorb more.

'Absorb!

'I'll absorb!

'I'll absorb, absorb, absorb!

'This feels great, hmm?

'Why the f*ck can't I absorb anymore?'

Ou Yangming gritted his teeth hideously, and the veins on his head that bulged were vaguely pulsated.

In the spot between his eyebrows, the amount of external energy was almost double his original mental power, but the impact was also giving him a splitting headache.

At last, Ou Yangming pulled the dagger out reluctantly, then ran as fast as he could toward where Yan Haobo escaped.
