Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 413 Multi-armed King Kong

Chapter 413 Multi-armed King Kong

When Ou Yangming woke up the next morning and was going to leave his courtyard, he noticed that the big yellow dog had come out of nowhere. It followed him closely wherever he went as though it was afraid that he would escape.

Ou Yangming tilted his head helplessly at the big fellow.

Big Yellow bared its teeth and had a strange expression on its face. “Trying to meet that oversized thing without my knowledge? No way!’

The young fellow then lifted his hand and gently tapped the big yellow dog’s leg. “Big Yellow, I’m only going to have a talk with it to ask why it chose me.”

Big Yellow stuck out its chest proudly. Its meaning was clear: ‘Didn’t I choose you too? It’s only doing what I did. Isn’t that normal!’

Ou Yangming did not know to cry or to laugh. “Big Yellow, what are we? That spirit beast took the initiative to acknowledge its master...” The big yellow dog blinked and finally began to ponder the question seriously.

It was true that friendship and a master-pet relationship were completely different concepts. Big Yellow and Ou Yangming were incredibly close, to the extent that they would entrust their lives to each other. Nonetheless, it would be impossible for the big yellow dog to acknowledge the young fellow as its master or the other way around. Ou Yangming said with a serious face, “I’ve been feeling uneasy, so I’ll probably have a hard time sleeping unless I solve the problem.”

The big yellow dog whined for a brief moment as it felt the same. Afterward, it suddenly barked cheerfully.

Since Ou Yangming must meet the Eight-armed Giant Beast, it could simply tag along.

“The two of you kept arguing when you first met. If you meet again, won’t you fight?” Ou Yangming frowned, then he patted the big yellow dog. “I’m worried about your safety.”

Big Yellow was grateful, but it shook its head firmly. This was the first time the big yellow dog was being so resolute, hence Ou Yangming knew at once that it would not give up whether he agreed to it or not.

He shook his head helplessly and said, “Alright, you can come along, but you can’t stir up any trouble. I’m going to find some answers, not to fight.” The big yellow dog stuck out its tongue as it was overjoyed, and it flashed a flattering smile at the young fellow.

Ou Yangming jokingly cursed at the big yellow dog, then he bid farewell to the Ni family and left with it.

Although he did not mention it, everyone knew what he was going to do. As the other people watched anxiously, he and the big yellow dog were sent off like heroes.

After leaving the prefecture, Ou Yangming gained a connection from the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s soul from his sea of consciousness. The giant beast did not state where it was, but the linear path between them was displayed to him.

Ou Yangming locked on his target and destination. When he was about to set out, he felt a tug at the bottom of his pants’ leg.

When he turned to look, he noticed the big yellow dog pinning the bottom of his pants on the ground with its paw.

“Big Yellow, what’s wrong?” Ou Yangming asked as he was puzzled.

The big yellow dog lowered itself and shook its body.

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he could not help but shake his head speechlessly. The big yellow dog saw him standing on the Eight-arm Giant Beast’s head yesterday as if it was his mount, thus the dog was unhappy about it.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming did not dislike the big yellow dog’s childish thought; he felt more affection for it.

Following that, he flashed and jumped up to the big yellow dog’s back.

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow did not share a soul bond, but they were mysteriously connected, allowing them to sense each other’s thoughts. Therefore, since Ou Yangming locked on the direction, the big yellow dog knew where their destination was.

It roared and turned into a yellow lightning bolt as it zoomed into the distance at an unbelievable speed. Perhaps because Big Yellow wanted to compete against the massive creature, it did not hold back at all, and it exerted all its force. With that, they arrived at the enormous valley—the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s hiding spot-after an hour.

The big yellow dog suddenly stopped and stared warily at the deep and dark valley in front of them.

Subsequently, some tree vines on the precipice at the top of the valley began to rattle, then the Eight-armed Giant Beast slowly showed itself.

Even though the giant beast was hefty, it did not make too much sound as it controlled itself. It was astounding.

Ou Yangming looked up at the Eight-armed Giant Beast and sensed its fearsome pressure once more. Despite that, he was not affected by it. On the other hand, the big yellow dog opened its mouth uneasily as though it viewed the giant beast as its enemy.

Feeling dumbfounded, Ou Yangming immediately patted the big yellow dog’s head then asked loudly, “What’s your name?’

The Eight-armed Giant Beast paused for a moment before it answered with respect, “I don’t have a name, so please grant me one, Master.”

Ou Yangming noted after some thought, “Okay, your name will be Multi-armed King Kong.” “Multi-armed King Kong.” The Eight-armed Giant Beast hesitated for a while, then it responded, “Thanks for giving me a name, Master. From now on, my name is Multi-armed King Kong.”

Big Yellow looked up and glared at Ou Yangming because it was displeased. Ou Yangming shrugged. “Big Yellow, it wasn’t me who named you, so you should blame the Ni family’s great ancestors instead.” Needless to say, the names Big Yellow and Multi-armed King Kong were Heaven and Earth apart. That said, Ou Yangming did not want to cause any misunderstandings. Besides, he found the name Big Yellow to be quite catchy, hence he never thought it sounded bad.

The big yellow dog was looking more hostile as if it sensed Ou Yangming’s thoughts.

Ou Yangming quickly curbed his thought and comforted the yellow dog, then he also glanced at the Eight-armed Giant Beast.

Big Yellow understood him right away. It knew it should be more reserved in front of the giant beast.

As the Eight-armed Giant Beast watched the silent communication between Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog, its huge eyes were filled with envy, The big yellow dog might not be aware, but the giant beast knew it must have enjoyed great and indescribable benefits for becoming partners with the young fellow.

While the giant beast would enjoy more benefits in the future, it was still jealous at the thought of the relationship between Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog.

Ou Yangming later questioned with a grim look on his face, “Multi-armed King Kong, I want you to tell me the truth-why did you choose me to be your master? You should know I can sense if you’re lying, so don’t try.”

“Master, I dare not lie to you at all,” Multi-armed King Kong instantly answered. It slowly sat down but did not cause the ground to shake, which was evident that its control over its power had arrived at a nearly far-fetched stage.

“I acknowledged you as my master in the first place because I was threatened, so I had no choice. However, I realized after I submitted to you that you’re a great opportunity for me.” It lowered its large head and said, “Please allow me to serve you in the future.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. “Who were you threatened by?”

Multi-armed King Kong looked troubled. It scratched its ears and cheeks, which was obvious that it did not dare to say the truth.

The young fellow was struck with a thought because he recalled the red mark on the giant beast’s head. He had only been able to perform the Soul-sucking Technique because of the mark, or he could not have done it on his own.

After all, Multi-armed King Kong was far more powerful than him at the moment. It would not be easy to suck the soul of a mightier powerhouse.

“Since you can’t speak of the reason, you don’t need to tell me.” Ou Yangming waved his hand. He had somewhat stopped the giant beast due to selfishness because the senior, who had helped him several times, clearly did not want to reveal his identity. If the young fellow did not know better and insisted on getting to the bottom of it, the outcome might be unfavorable.

Multi-armed King Kong looked gratefully at Ou Yangming and thought he did it for the sake of it.

It nodded at Ou Yangming and asked all of a sudden, “Master, when do you plan to rise to the upper realm?”

Ou Yangming was shocked. “What?”

Multi-armed King Kong explained, “Master, judging from your current state and this...” It extended its thick finger and pointed at the big yellow dog.

Big Yellow was determined not to show a weak impression, so it opened its mouth to fake a bite as if it was saying, ‘If you provoke me again, I’ll bite off your finger.’

Even so, Multi-armed King Kong ignored the insignificant threat. It continued, “This useless watchdog of yours is in a dangerous state!”

“Woof!!!” The big yellow dog was struck dumb at first, then it barked furiously.

‘You’re a watchdog! You’re the useless one! Everyone in your family’s a useless watchdog!’ Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and seriously doubted if he had made the right choice by bringing the big yellow dog here.

He took a deep breath and patted the big yellow dog to calm it down. “Multi-armed King Kong, what do you mean?” Multi-armed King Kong stated sternly, “Master, your mental power and that watchdog’s power have reached the withstandable limit in this world. As long as you take another step to break through this barrier, you’ll enter entirely different states”

Ou Yangming’s eyes gleamed. “Beyond a great ancestor and a spirit beast?’

“Yes,” Multi-armed King Kong replied to him in a serious tone, “but once you arrive at those states, you’ll be faced with the Life or Death Disaster, and it won’t be easy for you to successfully get through it.”

“What do you mean by the Life or Death Disaster?” Ou Yangming’s face changed.

He had read many ancient books but never once saw anything like that.

Multi-armed King Kong gathered his thoughts before he explained, “It’s a disaster that you have to endure once your powers exceed the limit of this world. This is because your existence will cause negative impacts and severe damages to the world, so its origin will naturally eliminate you. The most basic natural manifestation of the Life or Death Disaster is the Heavenly Thunderbolts.
