Chapter 427 - The Purple Fire Reverses The Course Of Events (2/2)

Despite that, the people were in despair when they heard the giant spirit beast’s suggestion earlier. In particular, the Supreme Great Ancestors from Feiya City looked grim. That said, Ou Yangming’s move after that was beyond their expectations. They followed the purple fire when it was released. Even though they did not believe in miracles, they prayed for one at this moment.

As though their prayers were heard, the ma.s.sive tornado, which was equivalent to a death trap, suddenly turned red and glowed.

Just as the people were feeling confused, they heard an earth-shattering explosion from the sky. It sounded so violent that it was unbearable for even the Supreme Great Ancestors.

The people felt like their eardrums were smashed by hammers, and they had somewhat gone deaf for an instant.

In spite of that, it was only the beginning because a series of m.u.f.fled sounds were heard after that. What frightened the people more was the tornado in the sky had turned into a gigantic fireball.

The menacing tornado, which seemed like it could destroy Heaven and Earth, caught fire and turned into a blazing fireball in mid-air. Yu Hongli and the others were stupefied as they watched. They prayed for a miracle but when the miracle actually happened, they were even more fearful.

The tornado was terrifying enough because it could suck the entire city, so one could imagine how daunting it would be if it transformed into a fireball. Would the city burn to nothing if the fireball fell?

Without warning, spine-chilling shrieks were heard in the sky. They came from the flying birds.

The scorching fireball enveloped most of the birds, which were constrained by a certain power in the Birds Formation, hence they could not fly higher. Consequently, a rich burnt smell filled the air.

Ou Yangming was highly-spirited. His mental conception had extended further by now, and he seemed to have transformed into the fiery fireball in the sky. Wherever the flame existed, his mental conception lived too. He could sense everything happening inside and outside the fire and could “see” the birds being turned into ashes even when they flapped their wings hard. Nonetheless, he did not sympathize with them at all. After some time, Ou Yangming’s mental conception was attracted by a vigorous power. When he “looked”, he noticed the goshawk flying up.

It was the only powerhouse that could detach itself from the formation through its power, vividly displaying a spirit beast’s valiance.

The goshawk turned to look abruptly as though it sensed Ou Yangming’s mental conception.

Ou Yangming was stunned when he noticed the goshawk’s eyes.

Unlike what he had expected, the goshawk was neither furious nor had strong killing intent; it looked fl.u.s.tered.

It was as if the goshawk was no longer a formidable spirit beast, which surpa.s.sed this world’s power system. It had turned into a panicky, ordinary bird.

Ou Yangming was struck dumb and was in disbelief.

‘It’s a spirit beast, so why did it become so weak? Even if the Birds Formation is broken, it can’t be so startled, right?’

Nevertheless, the goshawk’s fear gave Ou Yangming an opportunity. He s.h.i.+fted the raging fire with the intention to trap the goshawk.

That being said, Ou Yangming was soon surprised. The goshawk sensed his conception and noticed the fluctuation around the flame, but it did not resist nor did it try to escape. It simply stayed in mid-air and lowered its head at his conception.

Even a fool could tell that the goshawk was submitting itself to the fire. It was seeking Ou Yangming’s forgiveness by betting on its life. In any case, the fire was still burning. Ou Yangming was dumbfounded, but he did not stop controlling the fire with his conception. At long last, the savage fire enveloped the goshawk and burned it.

As a result, the goshawk’s body trembled. The mysterious fire was unimaginably painful, but it remained in the sky and stabilized itself as it let the fire burn its body. However, it was evident through the goshawk’s eyes that it was pleading for mercy. The fire finally stopped burning after a brief moment as if it was stripped of its life.

While the goshawk was burnt, it cried with joy and lowered its head at Ou Yangming once more.

Later on, the goshawk scoffed and ordered its followers through its mental conception. It then spread its wings and flew into the distance.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply. He gently shook his wrist, causing the fireball in the sky to diminish. Under his control, the city was not harmed at all.

When the fireball was completely gone, Ou Yangming could not help but wonder.

‘Am I doing the right thing?’ He was dazed when he turned to look because he noticed many strange and familiar faces staring at him.

They looked at him with respect.

On this day, Ou Yangming stood proudly atop the city wall with his purple flame. His G.o.dlike bearing would forever be engraved in everyone’s heart…
