Chapter 463 Flame Saber

An ear-piercing ripping sound was heard coming from the thin film. It could withstand the attack from the goshawk’s giant wind blade, but a hole suddenly appeared and enlarged quickly as the Flame Saber spread The goshawk widened its eyes so much that they almost popped out. It became extremely anxious when it identified the Inescapable Trap just now because it knew very well how powerful the energy contained inside. Not to mention Ou Yangming, who was not even at a spirit beast’s level, the spirit bird could not have pierced through the Inescapable Trap even if it went all out. If it was not because the goshawk’s soul was absolutely compliant, it would not have taken such a risk.

Nonetheless, the seemingly indestructible Inescapable Trap was damaged by Ou Yangming’s Flame Saber…

The goshawk was incredibly surprised when it saw this.

It turned out that the Inescapable Trap could be broken by the power in this realm. A strange thought crossed the spirit bird’s mind. ‘Did I come to the lower realm? Or is this a realm possessed by the upper realm, and whose power is on par with that of the upper realm?’

“Shriek…” The goshawk cried and burst out of the hole made by Ou Yangming.

Escaping from the Inescapable Trap made it feel as delighted as a fish swimming in a vast ocean, or a bird flying in a boundless sky. Nevertheless, the excitement was short-lived because the gigantic thin film in the sky changed again. It continued to billow and squirm, and the broken part on it even shifted toward the center. Once the hole arrived at the center, the area around it instantly melted to join the other parts of the thin film, causing the film to cover a broader range.

Ou Yangming and the goshawk were dumbfounded because they thought they could break free after the attack. The Inescapable Trap was not as simple as it seemed.

Having said that, Ou Yangming did not know that when he slashed his Flame Saber to slit the thin film, the two spirit insects, which were controlling the film beneath it, felt penetrating chills.

The chills came from their hearts, causing their originally cold body to feel ice-cold.

How could a saber gathered by fire energy cut through the Inescapable Trap?

What creature were they up against?

The spirit insects exchanged glances and decided that they would not fight hand-to-hand against Ou Yangming no matter what.

In actuality, in terms of mightiness only, Ou Yangming’s Flame Saber was far from the goshawk’s explosive wind blade. It did not matter that the Flame Saber was released after assembling the skills from all of his pieces of equipment. However, the Flame Saber unleashed an unimaginably wonderful function when it faced the Insects’ Inescapable Trap. In particular, the unusual energy carried by the flame caused the two spirit insects to shudder with fear.

The spirit insects did their best to maneuver the trap, forming wave-like wrinkles to cover the entire sky.

After evading the previous attack, the goshawk was faced with another wave of attack. Ou Yangming swung his saber without any hesitation to stop the attack, but the follow-ups seemed to be endless.

“The Inescapable Trap is inescapable indeed…”

Ou Yangming could not help but lament after he stopped another wave.

Being faced with infinite attacks, anyone would feel powerless. All of a sudden, he noted as he was struck with a thought, “Goshawk, we can’t go on like this forever; let the broken film trap us.”

“What?” The goshawk was stunned, and it had a strange look in its eyes.

It did everything possible and racked its brain to get out of the situation, but Ou Yangming asked it to act in the opposite way.

‘Aren’t we walking right into the trap if we let the Inescapable Trap wrap us?’

“Woof…” Big Yellow widened its eyes and barked at Ou Yangming. It was not an ordinary dog, so it was aware of the crisis.

Being attacked by the omnipresent thin film, their best option was to fly high and far away because nobody knew what would happen if they were trapped by the peculiar film. That said, Ou Yangming’s order clearly contrasted the target. Ou Yangming sensed the boiling mental power in his mind and stared quietly at the military saber in his hand. He uttered in a deep voice, “Trust me.”

The goshawk paused, and the big yellow stopped barking as well. Even though they could not help but worry, they did not resist the young fellow anymore.

At this point, they chose to trust their partner. “Woosh…”

Soon enough, the two spirit insects below were puzzled because the goshawk, which had been flying around to avoid the Inescapable Trap, stopped out of the blue. The spirit beast floated in the air without moving and let the thin film envelop it in the form of waves.

“Is it courting its death?”

“Hmph, that human must think that his Flame Saber can cut through the Inescapable Trap, so he decided to fall into the trap.”

“Hehe, what a foolish human! He could slash a layer of the Inescapable Trap, but can he do the same to 1,000 layers? He doesn’t know how tough the trap will be if the layers are overlaid. How ignorant!”

The two lizards went from having a serious discussion to mocking Ou Yangming and his companions. They figured out why the goshawk was acting like that, but they did not believe that Ou Yangming could destroy the Inescapable Trap after it began to overlay.

Before long, the goshawk’s body shook violently, and the environment around it changed slightly as its body moved. Odd airflows burst out from its body, and they were the representation of a mysterious and unpredictable power. When the power spread, an invisible airflow wall was formed around it.

The goshawk used the same trick when they were previously attacked by the yellow clouds and mist. It protected its body so well that nothing could go in or out.

Despite that, the situation now was very different. Although the airflow wall was still present, the goshawk had to withstand a completely different pressure. Once the Inescapable Trap enveloped it, the enormous pressure would be unimaginable.

The goshawk scoffed furiously as the airflows around it collapsed inward. Even so, it shrieked loudly and released more airflows to endure the pressure. Nonetheless, whether it was the two spirit insects, which were controlling the Inescapable Trap, or Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, they could tell that the process was slowly going beyond the goshawk’s ability.

Big Yellow straightened its body, and its aura undulated. It could not stand by idly after seeing what the goshawk was going through. In spite of that, Ou Yangming extended his arm before the big yellow dog could make a move. Following that, a massive Flame Saber appeared.

The saber seemed normal and did not carry an earth-shattering momentum, but the blazing flames on it made it feel like the space around it was being burnt. It was as though the air contained the flames’ powers and was about to explode at any time. Upon seeing this, the goshawk tensed up. Its wings shuddered due to fear, and its airflow wall became unstable.

The two spirit insects, which were controlling the Inescapable Trap, sensed this right away. They were elated.

After all, the Insects and the Birds were born to be rivals. It would be a rare feat to eliminate a bird like the goshawk, hence the lizards felt great senses of accomplishment.

Moreover, apart from killing the goshawk, they could also seize the local human. They would be rewarded for completing the mission assigned by the Venerable One!

Next, the Inescapable Trap quickly pressured inward to strangle the goshawk, whose defense power had plunged.

It was then when Ou Yangming’s Flame Saber finally touched the trap.

The saber-light was intense, and the flames were scorching. In a flash, the areas of the thin film in contact with the Flame Saber were torn and burnt. It was peculiar because the burnt thin film did not turn into ashes but transformed into energies that were channeled into the young fellow’s body. Ou Yangming swung his arm faster, allowing the flames to cover a broader area as they were released. As such, he and the goshawk were completely wrapped up.

“Woosh, woosh, woosh…”

When the fiery flames burned, the aura around Ou Yangming changed drastically. He was in a high spirit as abundant energies gushed into his body.

His military saber was not only attached with the Flame Skill, but also the Devouring ability.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was no longer absorbing mental power; he converted the energies into his essential Qi.

The Inescapable Trap was indeed one of the ultimate treasures of the Insects from the upper realm. It was very much weakened to be successfully transported into this realm, but the power it contained was far from what could be compared by ordinary spirit beasts.

Especially since two spirit insects were controlling the trap, it unleashed an unparalleled power. Unfortunately, the power encountered the Military Fire and the Devouring ability.

The two powers combined were certainly invincible in this realm.

At the spur of the moment, the thin film that approached the goshawk was ripped apart. Instead of returning to the Inescapable Trap, the broken fragments were burnt and absorbed by Ou Yangming, who turned them into his essential Qi.

Eventually, Ou Yangming’s essential Qi surged so much that it became unbearable for his body.

His mighty mental power billowed in his sea of consciousness as it carefully sensed every change caused by the essential Qi in his body.

At last, Ou Yangming exhaled deeply. His body quivered hard, and a surge of aura burst out from his body.

It was the Extreme Grade Aura!

When Ou Yangming’s essential Qi was accumulated to a certain level, he naturally became a Supreme Great Ancestor. Being suppressed by his remarkable mental power, which had almost surpassed the world’s limit, his essential Qi flowed orderly in his dantian and meridians. Every inch of his power was perfectly controlled, by which none was flowing slowly nor wasted.
