Chapter 323: Revered God’s Teaching (1)

On the Ancient Road to Heaven…

Ao Ying had encountered a strange dream cage during his mission on the Fifth Heaven. He had been trapped inside for an unknown period of time.

No matter how he struggled, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from the dream cage.

In that illusory and unreal dream, the cycle repeated endlessly.

He was well aware that if he could not break free from this dream cage, he would be trapped in this dream forever until his body died. His soul would also be trapped in it forever, unable to escape.

Therefore, Ao Ying was afraid. Compared to death, what he had encountered was even more terrifying.

Of course, this was after he regained consciousness.

Otherwise, he should be immersed in the illusory dream constructed from desire, enjoying the fake glory and joy.

He had defeated all the elites of the Immortal Realm and ascended to the top of the rankings. He had also ascended to the throne of the Dragon King and held great power, receiving the worship and admiration of millions of people.

After that, he would unify the Immortal Realm, establish the Immortal Court, and conquer the various Immortal Realms…

The dream repeated until Ao Ying suddenly realized that he was in a dream, and his consciousness seemed to awaken slightly.

However, he could not wake up completely. He felt as if he was in a nightmare. Although he knew that all of this was fake, he could not control his dream self.

His soul seemed to be trapped in the dream, and he could no longer sense his body.

The scene in front of him alternated between blurry and clear. His voice was sometimes sharp and sometimes deep.

His consciousness alternated between clear and sinking as he struggled bitterly.

Ao Ying also tried to tell himself that everything was a dream, and he tried his best to put down the desires and ambitions in his heart, hoping to break through this dream born from desire.

However, his struggles were futile.

Suddenly, a drumbeat sounded in his ear.

Thud!

Knock! Knock!

As the drumbeat sounded, Ao Ying immediately felt his soul tremble violently along with it. He seemed to have instantly sobered up.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Another rhythmic drumbeat sounded. Ao Ying could feel his heart beating along with the drumbeat.

Knock! Knock!

Ao Ying could feel his blood trembling, his meridians trembling, and the magic power in his body vibrating.

Knock! Knock!

Ao Ying felt his body tremble as well as the scene in front of him.

In the end, with a bang, the scene instantly dissipated.

It was replaced by a blurry but extraordinary figure. He held a small drum in his hand and stood in front of him like a god.

However, this scene disappeared in an instant.

Ao Ying woke up as if he had a nightmare. He sat up abruptly and took a deep breath as if he was saved.

“I’m finally awake!” Ao Ying said with lingering fear.

Fortunately, there was that mysterious drumbeat just now. Otherwise, he did not know if he could wake up.

But where did that drum sound come from?

Ao Ying looked around. It was dark here, and dead trees that bared their fangs and brandished their claws stood around like ghosts. The ground was filled with dead leaves, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

There was no one within a few hundred kilometers, much less a human figure.

“Is it an illusion? But it doesn’t seem like it!” Ao Ying closed his eyes slightly as if he could hear the drumming again. That extraordinary figure from before appeared in front of his eyes again.

However, when he opened his eyes, everything disappeared.

“How strange!” Ao Ying was shocked.

Although he was trapped in the dream cage just now and did not dare to close his eyes, the drumbeat and that extraordinary figure fascinated him.

He closed his eyes again. The drumbeat slowly became clearer, and the blurry figure appeared again. Although his exact appearance could not be seen, Ao Ying could still sense how extraordinary he was.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The drumbeat kept reverberating as if it contained some sort of profound power that pulled at Ao Ying’s meridians, the surrounding power of heaven and earth, and a certain inspiration in Ao Ying’s mind.

In an instant, Ao Ying felt as if he had fallen into a mysterious state.

His thoughts were clear. The drumbeat was no longer just a sound to him. It sounded more like some kind of Great Dao inheritance, some kind of divine power technique.

This time, Ao Ying did not open his eyes. Instead, he was immersed in this mysterious state to comprehend the Great Dao contained in the drums.

After some time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible force seemed to surge out of his body.

At the same time, a drumbeat seemed to sound in the world. Space shook, and the countless withered trees in the surroundings were instantly reduced to dust.

Whoosh…

Ao Ying heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.

Just now, he had actually comprehended a supreme divine power from the drumbeat.

No, to be precise, that extraordinary figure had taught him a supreme divine power with the sound of a drum.

“Thank you, Revered God, for your teachings!” Ao Ying closed his eyes and kowtowed deeply to the figure.

He did not know who that person was or why he had taught him a divine power.

However, he could not help but feel grateful.

That person had not only saved him from the dream prison, but he had also taught him such a powerful divine power. Kneeling and kowtowing were not enough to repay his kindness.

Furthermore, when he was comprehending the divine power previously, he felt that he had vaguely heard the term ‘Revered God’. He did not know if it was his imagination or if he had really heard it.

Regardless, in Ao Ying’s opinion, that person’s extraordinary appearance was worthy of the title of Revered God.

Rumble!

At this moment, the ground under her feet suddenly shook violently. Ao Ying immediately soared into the sky. At the same time, a giant centipede with a human face crawled out of the ground.

The centipede was enormous, like a continuous mountain ridge. It stood in front of Ao Ying, its body extending into the distance.

In terms of length, even Ao Ying, who was from the dragon race, could not compare.

However, this was not the first time he had encountered such centipedes with human faces. They were everywhere.

This fellow in front of him was many times larger than the ones he had encountered previously. Its aura was also stronger. It was clearly the king of this demon.

“Hmph, evil creature, you’ve come at the right time. I can test the power of my new divine power!” A cold glint flashed in Ao Ying’s eyes as she formed hand seals.

A giant drum and the phantom of a divine dragon suddenly appeared in the air behind him.

The divine dragon swung its tail and smashed heavily onto the drum!

Thud!

A sound wave swept out and instantly swept past the human-faced centipede.

The human-faced centipede’s expression changed as its squirming body and countless claws froze.

Immediately, the armor-like outer shell cracked open, and bodily fluids seeped out.

Its towering body smashed down with a bang, deader than dead.

“This divine power is indeed powerful!” Ao Ying was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect that a single strike would kill the Human-Faced Centipede King, who was countless times stronger than before.

It had to be known that it had taken some effort to kill those ordinary human-faced centipedes.

“With this divine power, it’ll be much easier for me to clear the level!” Ao Ying was overjoyed.

“I have to give this divine power a name!”

“What should I call it?”

Ao Ying frowned and fell into deep thought.

This name had to be unique and sounded impressive.

He recalled the feeling when he first comprehended this divine power. The drums sounded, and his meridians shook.

When he used his divine power, the drumbeat sounded, shattering his meridians and organs.

“Yes, it’s called the Great Meridian Art!”
