Chapter 1326: The Universe Graveyard

Xing Tian explained the strengths of Heavenly Rank powerhouses.

Being equal to heaven was the universal way to call Heavenly Rank powerhouses. Generally speaking, in the impression of countless living beings, there was no division of strength between Heavenly Rank powerhouses.

This was because such powerhouses were incomparably powerful, something that ordinary people could not match. Regardless of whether it was the strongest Heavenly Rank powerhouse or the weakest, they were about the same to ordinary people.

Nonetheless, in the chaos, there was still a gap between Heavenly Rank powerhouses.

This was also the reason Dao Xuanji was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Xing Tian just now.

On one hand, it was because Xing Tian’s as the God of Killing was too frightening. On the other hand, the difference in their strengths was too great.

Xing Tian slowly explained, “The Heavenly Rank has a total of 9 levels. They’re known as the Nine Heavens, and each level is higher than the other. This is what everyone has agreed to call them. The ranks are according to combat strengths.

“Dao Xuanji is at the Third Heaven, which is the most common Heavenly Rank powerhouse.”

‘Dao Xuanji is at the Third Heaven?’

Ou Yangming thought to himself. ‘Judging from his destructive power, he’s only slightly stronger than me. Is my strength comparable to the First or Second Heaven?’

Of course, this was just a guess. Xing Tian came quickly just now, so Dao Xuanji might not have used his powerful move.

“Senior, which level are you at?” Ou Yangming asked curiously.

The technique that Xing Tian displayed just now was certainly not something Dao Xuanji could compare to. Dao Xuanji was ranked at the Third Heaven, so Xing Tian was surely higher.

“My current strength is ranked at the Sixth Heaven,” Xing Tian answered.

His voice was calm, without the slightest bit of arrogance.

He did not tell Ou Yangming that there were many Heavenly Rank powerhouses in the primal chaos, but 99% of them were below the Fifth Heaven. Being at the Sixth Heaven already made him a top-tier powerhouse.

“Senior, can you see if I have the strength to fight against a Heavenly Rank powerhouse?” Ou Yangming asked.

“Oh?” Xing Tian turned around with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Ou Yangming was only a half step to the Heavenly Rank, but Xing Tian did not refuse it if he wanted to try. Xing Tian also wanted to see the true strength of this young fellow, whose expression did not even change when he faced Dao Xuanji.

“You’ll know once you try. Attack me with your greatest move.”

“Okay.” Ou Yangming nodded. “Senior, let’s go up into the sky.”

Their destructive powers were too strong. If they attacked on the Shanhai Continent, they might destroy the continent. Before Ou Yangming broke through to the Heavenly Rank, this would be his back garden. It was a good place for him to take refuge.

The 2 of them flew into the sky.

With Xing Tian by his side, Ou Yangming did not have to worry about Dao Xuanji coming back.

“Senior, be careful,” Ou Yangming reminded Xing Tian. His expression became serious as spiritual power flowed rapidly in his limbs and bones. Not only that but all the strength in his body gushed out as well.

“Divine Prison!” Ou Yangming shouted coldly, and a golden box appeared beside Xing Tian.

Xing Tian’s eyes were filled with surprise. “I didn’t expect that stingy Emperor Jun to pass down such a profound divine ability to you.”

He clearly recognized this move.

This was one of Emperor Jun’s ultimate moves when he was conquering the world back then. It was unknown how many mighty Shamans had died under this move.

Xing Tian’s gaze focused, and killing intent surged from his body.

He tapped his finger with force, and the golden box instantly turned into pieces and disappeared into the air.

At this moment, Ou Yangming had prepared his move.

“Creation!” The Reincarnation Spear suddenly became 100 times larger.

The light on the spear was dazzling. A huge illusory figure of a deity appeared behind Ou Yangming with a violent aura that seemed to be able to destroy everything.

Boom!

The spear collided with the profound power on Xing Tian’s fingertip. All of Ou Yangming’s power was released, and Xing Tian unconsciously took a few steps back.

“Amazing!”

After taking a few steps back, Xing Tian’s body stabilized. He stretched out his hand and gently flicked the Reincarnation Spear. Then, he said in surprise.

He had expected that Ou Yangming had mastered many profound meanings, but he did not expect that he also had Emperor Jun’s ultimate move. Additionally, the huge amount of spiritual power in the young fellow’s body and the almost infinite power made him even more shocked.

Ou Yangming was also shocked. His full-strength move could only force the unarmed Xing Tian back a few steps, and this was even when his opponent was not prepared.

“How was it, senior?” Ou Yangming asked with some lack of confidence.

“Not bad, not bad.” Xing Tian did not hide his admiring gaze at all, “Just now, I thought you were a little arrogant, but I was wrong. You have so many profound techniques, and your physical strength and spiritual power are incredibly powerful. Ordinary Heavenly Rank powerhouses really can’t do anything to you. With your current strength, a Heavenly Rank powerhouse at the Second Heaven shouldn’t be able to hurt you.”

Xing Tian’s voice carried a hint of surprise.

It was the first time he had seen such a genius who could fight against a Heavenly Rank powerhouse at the Second Heaven with the strength of a half step to the Heavenly Rank.

Even when he was at a half step, could barely fight against a powerhouse at the First Heaven.

Only his friend Hou Yi, with the help of the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Sun-shooting Bow, was lucky enough to kill a First Heaven powerhouse when he was a half step to the Heavenly Rank.

“As expected.”

After hearing Xing Tian’s words, Ou Yangming smiled.

His guess was right. He could already contend against a Heavenly Rank powerhouse, even though it was only a low-level one.

After all, in this world, he had yet to find any powerhouses a half step to the Heavenly Rank who could contend against him. Even an experienced one like Chi Ming could be easily killed after a few moves now that he had comprehended so many techniques.

“Senior, there’s one more thing,” Ou Yangming said after thinking for a moment.

“Oh, what is it?” Xing Tian became more curious about Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming took out a box made of ancient wood from his interspatial ring. He said, “Senior, do you want to know why Dao Xuanji wants to kill me?”

“Could it be because of that thing in your hand?” Xing Tian glanced at the box in Ou Yangming’s hand.

“Yes.” Ou Yangming nodded.

He opened the box and sent it to Xing Tian, then he asked, “Senior Xing Tian, do you know what this is? This is something I accidentally obtained from an elder of the Heavenly Path Alliance, then I was targeted by them. Before Dao Xuanji, there was another powerhouse a half step to the Heavenly Rank from the Heavenly Path Alliance who came to kill me.”

“What’s this thing?” Xing Tian looked at the thing in the box.

At first, he did not think much of it. He was born in ancient times and had wandered in the chaos. What kind of treasure had he not seen?

However, after taking a look, he was attracted by the thing in the box.

Inside the box was a hand bone. It looked very ordinary. The white hand bone emitted a faint cold air, and there were a few strange patterns on the hand bone.

‘This thing…’

Xing Tian pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

‘Hand bone…

‘The Heavenly Path Alliance?

‘Could this thing be…’

Xing Tian took a deep breath and warned, “Keep this thing well and don’t let others see it.”

“What’s this?” Xing Tian’s attitude made Ou Yangming even more curious.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be a key.”

“A key?” Ou Yangming looked at the bone in his hand. ‘Is there anything similar between this thing and a key?’

Xing Tian continued, “This isn’t an ordinary key, but a key to the Universe Graveyard.”

He knew Ou Yangming definitely did not know this place either, thus he explained, “The place where you live is the universe. Right now, the universe is divided into 5 big worlds and countless small worlds. It’s rumored that the universe is also declining. In the depths of the chaos, there’s a mysterious place called the Universe Graveyard. That place has fallen into a universe. Only the one with this hand bone can go to that place.”

“What are the benefits of going to that place?” Ou Yangming asked as he kept the box in his hand.

Xing Tian said, “There’s a rumor in the chaos that there’s a piece of the heart of the universe in that Universe Graveyard. The universe has perished, but its heart still has some charm. As long as one finds that place, one can create a world. There are a total of 5 worlds in the universe now. As long as that place is found, it’s very likely that the sixth world can be created.”

‘Create the sixth world!?’

This was a crazy thing.

Heavenly Rank powerhouses were repelled by the Heavenly Path from the 5 worlds. If they could create a world of their own, they could easily travel back and forth between the chaos and the worlds. Besides, how massive was a world? With the power of the Heavenly Path, they could certainly break through to an unbelievable realm. At the very least, they could reach the legendary Ninth Heaven.

With such a huge temptation, how many people could resist it? No wonder Dao Xuanji had personally made a move.

Ou Yangming nodded.

That Universe Graveyard was probably not a secret. In the primal chaos, many people would know about it.

“With your current strength, even if you go to the primal chaos, don’t go there for the time being,” Xing Tian still reminded Ou Yangming carefully.

“Why is that?” Ou Yangming looked at him.

Xing Tian continued, “There’s more than one hand bone, if you meet other powerhouses in the Universe Graveyard, it’ll be dangerous. Normally, those who can obtain such a key aren’t ordinary and might even be stronger than me. Besides, you have to be careful of being surrounded and killed outside the graveyard. I’m guessing that if Dao Xuanji really obtained this hand bone, he wouldn’t dare to go there alone.”

Where there were people, there would be fights. Even the Heavenly Rank powerhouses in the chaos could not avoid this.

Ou Yangming nodded. Even if he went to the Universe Graveyard, he would at least wait until he had broken through to the true Heavenly Rank.

At that time, his strength would increase a lot, and he would not be much weaker than Xing Tian.

Moreover, he had a way to increase his strength. After combining the 2 profound meanings of destruction and creation, what boundary would his strength reach?

Ou Yangming felt the surging powers of the profound meanings in his sea of consciousness. The day was not far away.
