The black water flowed slowly, and Ou Yangming walked toward the other side.

In actuality, the river was not deep. It only reached Ou Yangming’s legs and stomach. The black water, which could corrode even a Fine Grade magic tool, could not hurt him at all.

“Ruler Ming, he…” Duan He’s body trembled.

Ruler Ming was too bold, daring to jump into the terrifying black water.

Ruler Shanhai’s eyes were filled with shock. After his Fine Grade magic treasure was melted, even if he was extremely bold, he would not dare to get close to the black water. Not to mention jumping into the black water like Ou Yangming and walking toward the other side.

This not only required courage but also unparalleled confidence.

As time passed, Ou Yangming’s body got closer to the other side. Ruler Shanhai and the others took a deep breath.

“Ruler Ming’s body is too strong!”

Duan He and the others could not imagine that a person’s body could be so strong.

To them, they had thought that third-step powerhouses were all about the same. Nonetheless, after seeing the difference between Ruler Ming and Ruler Shanhai, they realized that such powerhouses were also very different. Ruler Ming’s strength was certainly many times stronger than that of Ruler Shanhai.

“Whoosh!”

Ou Yangming quickly walked to the other side. There were no accidents during the process. The black water was corrosive, but it could not harm his body at all.

He jumped and just as he left the water, black armor appeared on his body. In the black water, his clothes had turned into pus.

“Wutong, wait for me here for a moment,” Ou Yangming turned around and said.

Wutong nodded, narrowed his eyes, and replied, “Yes.”

With that, Ou Yangming continued to walk forward.

After passing through the black water, there was no obstruction in front of him.

Looking at Ou Yangming’s back, Ruler Shanhai and the others sighed. They knew that even if there was a treasury in this tomb, it had nothing to do with them.

Ruler Ming did not stop them. It was just that they were too weak.

“Eh, there’s a piece of Obsidian here.” Suddenly, a person’s voice sounded.

Duan He and the others turned around and saw a second-step powerhouse holding a black stone happily.

Obsidians were top-notch ores. It was rumored that it could be used to smith Taoist Tools.

Of course, this was only a legend. There were very few blacksmiths in the Great Wide World who could smith Taoist Tools, and no one had confirmed this fact. Even if they could not refine Taoist Tools, they would still be able to smith Fine Grade magic tools steadily. This ore was a good thing.

“Old Hu, where did this thing come from?” Duan He asked excitedly.

“I picked it up from the ground.” The big man whose name was Old Hu was excited.

Picked it up?

Their eyes suddenly lit up. ‘Could it be that there’s an Obsidian mine here? If that’s the case, we won’t return empty-handed this time.’

Obsidians were also precious treasures. They were hard to come by.

Duan He used his weapon to open up the ground and soon found another Obsidian.

This undoubtedly proved their guess that there really was an Obsidian mine in this tomb.

It was not just this place. Ruler Shanhai also saw the same ore on the other side. Everyone moved in unison, digging up the ores piece by piece from the ground. Even Wutong did not let go of this opportunity. A few branches grew out of his body and with a sudden poke on the ground, a large hole was cut in the ground, and the Obsidians inside were put into his bag.

Having lost the opportunity to continue forward, these Obsidians could be considered as a form of consolation.

Ou Yangming continued forward.

Following a long path, he slowly walked forward.

Soon, he reached the end.

There was no treasure pill like he had imagined. At the end of this big tomb, there was only a huge statue.

The statue looked ferocious. He did not know how long it had been, but it was still as clean as new.

“An Ancient Demon?” Ou Yangming was stunned for a moment.

From the appearance of this statue, it looked very similar to an Ancient Demon. There were all sorts of strange Ancient Demons, and they were somewhat similar to humans. This statue matched an Ancient Demon.

Thinking of the small black river just now, Ou Yangming was still puzzled at first. Why did they have to set up such a dangerous barrier? A human’s body would not be able to withstand it, even if it was a third-step almighty powerhouse.

Nevertheless, Ancient Demons were different. Basically, Demon Kings had abnormally strong bodies. Reaching the Taoist Tool level would not be a big deal.

‘Perhaps the black river isn’t the threshold set for humans,’ Ou Yangming thought to himself.

If that was the case, the matter could be explained. Perhaps there was some inheritance or treasure left in the tomb, but those things were left for the Ancient Demons.

Despite that, the owner of the tomb did not expect that the Ancient Demons of the Great Wide World had become homeless dogs. Demon Kings would never have the chance to come here.

Ou Yangming raised his head. Since he had come here, he should gain something.

All of a sudden, a dark golden ball of light floated out of the statue’s mouth.

Ou Yangming reached out his hand and grabbed the golden light firmly.

‘This is…’

Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with shock.

‘A profound meaning!’

Ou Yangming had seen Chi Ming’s profound meaning’s power, which was very similar to this light ball. Having said that, in terms of quality, Chi Ming’s profoundness was far inferior to this. This light ball was incredibly pure, and it had the purest profound meaning of order.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The light in Ou Yangming’s hand suddenly exploded, and beams of golden light entered his body.

Ou Yangming did not resist. He did not feel any hostility from this light ball. The guy on the statue should have been dead for a long time. He could not tell whether it was a human or an Ancient Demon who had received this light ball.

With that, the golden light shone on Ou Yangming’s body, and a holy aura flashed across his face.

‘The profound meaning of order.’ It was one of the 4 ultimate profound meanings in the universe.

At this time, this light sphere of profound meaning had completely fused with Ou Yangming’s body and was no different from his own.

After a long time, the light gradually dissipated. Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with ecstasy. He finally understood the meaning of the existence of this big tomb.

This was an inheritance, an inheritance from a Ruler of the Ancient Demons.

There was only a small amount of information on the light sphere. From that information, Ou Yangming understood that the owner of this big tomb was called Emperor Jun. He was the emperor of the Ancient Demons and a master of the Great Wide World from the ancient era.

He was an almighty powerhouse from ancient times, an existence above the Heavenly Rank.

The power of the profound meaning of order that Emperor Jun left behind included all of his understanding of this profound meaning.

“Order!” Ou Yangming muttered softly.

He could feel a strong force floating around him.

“Domain!”

Woosh, woosh…

The profound meaning of order gradually drifted away, forming a barrier that was only 7 to 8 meters long. This was Heaven’s Domain.

This domain was very small and did not seem to be of much use, but Ou Yangming knew that it was very useful.

With Ou Yangming’s strength at the moment, he was not much different from being a half step to the Heavenly Rank. The only thing that was suppressed was this Heaven’s Domain. In the domain of a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank, his 3 law powers would be tightly restricted. He could only rely on his physical strength to resist and find an opportunity to rush out.

A powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank did not pose much of a threat to him, but he was also no threat to such powerhouses.

That said, things were different now. This domain only covered a few meters, but it could cut off the domains of others, giving Ou Yangming a fair chance to compete with the other powerhouses who were a half step to the Heavenly Rank. This opportunity was very important.

There was another benefit. After absorbing the profound meaning of order, Ou Yangming did not have to be restricted by the rules of the Barbarian King Mountain. He also understood the secret of the mountain that had existed for countless years.

In this vast mountain range, the reason one could not use one’s spiritual sense was entirely due to the influence of the profound meaning of order. Not only this light mass but the entire continent was restricted by Emperor Jun’s power of order. Those powers followed the orders of their master and continued for countless years.

Now, these powers could be used by Ou Yangming. In other words, he was an invincible presence on this mountain. Even a powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank would be restricted by his rules.

Ou Yangming, the successor, could even change those rules!

As such, this continent became Ou Yangming’s backyard in the Great Wide World.

Without his permission, no one could harm the old man and the others in this place.

He looked around, but there was nothing around him.

Ou Yangming had nothing to be disappointed about. He had obtained the most precious thing.

He returned the way he came and when he passed by the black water river again, he flew to the other side.

Seeing this, Ruler Shanhai and the others were shocked. The restrictions on the river were still there, but they could not restrain Ruler Ming.

In other words, Ruler Ming must have obtained the treasure inside.

Ruler Shanhai was a little envious, but he knew that he did not have the opportunity.

“Congratulations, Ruler Ming.” Ruler Shanhai cupped his hands.

“Congratulations, sir.” Duan He and the others had strange looks in their eyes. They really wanted to know what was inside the tomb.

“What are you doing?” Ou Yangming smiled and asked.

Wutong said happily, “Master, there’s a huge Obsidian mine here.”

Duan He took out 2 Obsidians to show off his battle achievements.

Ou Yangming smiled. “Other than Obsidians, there are also other precious mineral veins here.”

He could use his divine sense to scan the tomb and see everything clearly. Everything in the underground could not be hidden from his eyes.

Ou Yangming stomped his foot, and there was a rumble.

Not far from the ground, a dark gold ore flew out.

“A Tianri Ugin mine!” Ruler Shanhai cried out in alarm.

The others looked enviously at the ore that flew out. The Tianri Ugin mine was several times more precious than the Obsidian mine. Obsidians could possibly be used to refine Taoist Tools, but Tianri Ugin could definitely be used to refine them.
