“Be careful, it’s a Five-clawed Lizard!”
Du Xie quickly flew into the air and pulled a safe distance away from the lizard. Ou Yangming was not careless and quickly left the ground as well.
Seeing Ou Yangming’s quick reaction, Du Xie heaved a sigh of relief. He said in a deep voice, “This Five-clawed Lizard is the king of Abyss Lizards. Its strength is close to the second step of the laws. We can’t fight it head-on. Let’s leave quickly.”
“Okay, let’s Go!”
Ou Yangming did not want to continue fighting. The 2 of them quickly retreated. In actuality, deep down, he wanted to have a big fight with the lizard, but this place was not suitable.
Fighting in this place would attract something even more terrifying. Therefore, temporarily retreating would be the wisest choice.
The Five-clawed Lizard raised its huge head and took a deep breath at the sky. The clouds in the sky flipped, and the clouds floating in the sky were sucked over by it. Ou Yangming and Du Xie stopped for a moment as if they had fallen into a ball of mud.
“Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang!” Ou Yangming’s power of laws also erupted. The power of Yin and Yang resisted the lizard’s law of devouring, then he and Du Xie streaked across the sky like meteors.
The Five-clawed Lizard below did not expect the 2 humans to escape from it. As a king, it was naturally unwilling to give up.
Plop!
The Five-clawed Lizard burrowed into the ground and moved quickly. It chased after the 2 of them at an extremely fast speed in the swamp.
Ou Yangming and Du Xie flew in the air while the Five-clawed Lizard chased on the ground. The Abyss Swamp soon became lively. The lizard rampaged on the ground, waking up many monsters in the swamp. When they saw the 2 humans in the sky, they immediately joined in the chase.
At first, it was just the Five-clawed Lizard chasing the 2. Soon, it became a large group of monsters chasing them. Most of them were equivalent to Rulers. Those who were weaker than Rulers were not qualified to do so.
In the sky, Ou Yangming and Du Xie were also very helpless. The clan master did not expect the Five-clawed Lizard to be so stubborn and chase after them.
“Senior Du Xie, what should we do now?” Ou Yangming looked back and smiled bitterly. There were too many monsters behind them.
Du Xie said calmly, “We can’t stop now. Otherwise, we’ll be entangled with them. There might be more powerful monsters in this swamp. Let’s speed up and shake them off.”
“Okay!” Ou Yangming nodded. The 2 of them flashed with light. They used all their strengths and sped up again. The monsters behind them were still chasing after them. Many of the monsters could not keep up after chasing them for a while, so they could only withdraw from the pursuit. Along the way, other monsters joined in. The monsters increased and decreased, but the 2 people who were being chased did not change.
After chasing for so long, the monsters did not even get to touch the humans. The Five-clawed Lizard became even more furious. It roared, and its voice intimidated the entire Abyss Swamp.
“There’s a formation ahead. Let’s go in and hide for a while.” Ou Yangming and Du Xie increased their speed and had left the monsters behind by quite a distance. Du Xie looked at the reeds ahead. There was a magic power fluctuation there.
“Is this okay? What if there’s someone inside?” Ou Yangming had also noticed the existence of the formation. The formation seemed to have been around for a long time and could no longer hide its magic power fluctuation. The chances of someone being inside the formation were not high, but no one could be sure that it was empty.
“We’re being chased by monsters, so we have no choice but to go in. The formation seems to have been abandoned. Even if someone’s inside, we can explain ourselves, and they might not take us as enemies.” Du Xie was very decisive. Instead of wasting time dealing with these monsters, it would be better to go in and hide.
“Okay, let’s go in.”
At this time, they had to make a quick decision. They could not waste time. If they waited until the Five-clawed Lizard arrived, there would be other changes.
As such, they no longer hesitated and flew toward the direction of the magic power fluctuation.
This was an Illusion Formation. Du Xie was not very proficient in formations but after living for 10,000 years, he definitely knew some simple knowledge.

The Illusion Formation did not have much lethality, so the 2 did not need to be careful. The formation seemed to have been abandoned and did not have much power.
“Luckily, this formation is barely holding on. It has lost its original power. Let’s go in and take a look first.” Du Xie walked in front with big strides. In a short while, they arrived at the core.
The ground was not a swamp. It was filled with mud and turned into a small island of more than 10 square meters. On the small island, a skeleton sat cross-legged. His bones were emitting a faint golden light. The power of laws on his body had not dissipated yet. He was emitting a terrifying pressure.
“Isn’t this too powerful? He has been dead for so long, but he still has so much pressure.” Ou Yangming landed on the small island and looked at the skeleton in front of him in surprise.
If a Venerable One had come, he would not have been able to get close at this time. The scattered power of laws would definitely kill him if he touched it.
Du Xie also flew over and looked at the skeleton on the ground in surprise, and he said, “I didn’t expect there to be such a formidable human being in the Abyss Swamp. If I’m not wrong, he had reached the third step of the laws when he was alive.”
The third step was the limit of the laws. People who had reached that boundary were extremely rare in today’s Great Wide World. One might not meet such a powerhouse in one’s entire life.
Ou Yangming bowed and gave the deceased a salute. Then, he turned to look at Du Xie and said, “If this powerhouse is still alive, I’m afraid that we won’t have the chance to come in.”
“Of course.” Du Xie nodded, “I’ve only seen 2 people who are at the third step of the power of laws. In the current Great Wide World, they’re considered top-notch powerhouses. They live in seclusion and spend their whole lives investigating the world behind the laws. With such a powerhouse, the 2 of us together wouldn’t be able to block even one move from him.”
While the 2 of them were talking, Ou Yangming noticed a small dark thing in the soil in front of the skeleton.
Taking a step forward, Ou Yangming picked it up.
It was a black ring with ancient patterns engraved on it. If Ou Yangming had not seen it by chance, he might have overlooked it.
“This is a piece of interspatial equipment. An interspatial ring is very precious. Only a top-tier powerhouse like this would have it. Open it and take a look. There must be some good stuff inside.”
How could the accumulation of a powerhouse who reached the third step of the laws be simple? Ou Yangming was a little hesitant. After all, this was someone else’s legacy.
Du Xie smiled and said, “These are worldly possessions. We didn’t bring them with us when we were born and we can’t bring them with us when we’re dead. We came here by chance, not by taking things by force. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”
“Senior, you’re right.” Ou Yangming nodded. Before opening the ring, he bowed to the skeleton again. This made Du Xie nod secretly. Given that Ou Yangming treated a deceased person like that, he was a person with strong principles. Being with such a person, one would never need to worry about when one would be schemed against.
The original owner was already dead, so Ou Yangming’s mental power entered the ring without any hindrance. After seeing the things inside, he was also shocked.
It was worth noting that the space of the ring was very large. It was a few hundred square meters, and there were all kinds of treasures piled up inside. The lowest level of weapons were all magic weapons, and there were also many rare and precious fruits. After staying in the interspatial ring for so many years, the things inside did not change at all, and there was no difference from the fresh ones.
Although the ring was discovered by him, Ou Yangming did not think of taking it all for himself. The formation was discovered by Du Xie, who was also the one who brought him here. A fifty-fifty share would be considered fair.
Ou Yangming’s gaze moved away from those rare and precious fruits. On the ground, he saw an ancient book. The book was plain and unremarkable. It looked like an ordinary object, but the laws on it were condensed and very similar to the laws outside. It should have been written by the powerhouse before he died.
Ou Yangming took out the book and withdrew his mental power from the ring. He opened the thread-bound book. The words inside were common in the Great Wide World. He had studied it before coming to the Great Wide World, so he naturally understood.
The skeleton powerhouse’s introduction was written on it.
This skeleton powerhouse was called a Crimson Ruler when he was alive.
There was a rule in the Great Wide World. After breaking through the third step of the laws, one’s status would be incredibly high, and one would also gain a title. Crimson Ruler was the skeleton master’s title.
The Crimson Ruler was an alchemy expert. He had roamed the Great Wide World for countless years. Later on, he devoted himself to cultivation and intended to break through the third step of the laws.
It was not so easy to break through the laws, and it was the same even for the Crimson Ruler. He had cultivated for 10,000 years but still gained nothing. When he was near his end, he planned to find another way to break through through pills. In the last days of his life, he created a unique medicinal pill called the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. As long as he succeeded in refining the golden pill, he could break through the restrictions of the laws and reach another world.
Having said that, it was a pity that his remaining time was too short. He had yet to find a guiding pill that could be used to refine the medicinal, and his time had come. As such, he could only helplessly sit here and die. The Crimson Ruler was unresigned to the outcome, so he wrote down his thoughts in this book, hoping that future generations could inherit his wish and complete the heaven-defying creation.
When Ou Yangming flipped through the thread-bound book page by page, Du Xie’s eyes were filled with shock. After reading the entire book, he said in shock, “This person was truly a heaven-defying genius to be able to create such a heaven-defying pill. If he were alive, the Great Wide World would probably not be like this now. Unfortunately…”
Du Xie sighed deeply. The lack of powerhouses in the Great Wide World was because the inheritances had been cut off. If they had not come here, the formation would have been destroyed in a period of time, and the place would have been occupied by desolate beasts. The Crimson Ruler’s inheritance would not have been passed down.
Ou Yangming put away the book and took out a gourd from the interspatial ring. He opened the gourd, and a strong fragrance filled the surroundings.
The young fellow looked slightly excited.
These were not Nine Revolutions Golden Pills but the simplified version, the Five Revolutions Golden Pill. They were the simplified versions and were refined by the Crimson Ruler during his experiments, but they were still very useful. The medicinal strengths would be enough for a Venerable One to break through to become a Ruler.
With these, Ou Yangming would not have to worry that Lil’ Red, Bid Yellow, as well as Old Craftsman and the others in the lower realm, would not be able to break through.
Besides, the book was very precious. If he could use the experiences written inside to refine the legendary Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, the entire Great Wide World would probably change.
