The goshawk was bewildered when it looked at the flames on its body.

It could sense the incredibly fearsome energy carried by the flames. The power was so mighty that it was unparalleled, and it contained an attribute that frightened the spirit bird.

Theoretically, given that the goshawk was enveloped by flames, it would be in a miserable state if it survived, by which it would be burnt. Nonetheless, although the flames were violent and fierce, they did not hard it at all.

If that was the only case, it could only mean that Ou Yangming had an unimaginable control over flames. However, the goshawk clearly noticed that certain energy seemed to have been triggered when the fire burned, causing it to feel like going mad.

'Is this that master's power? Why does it carry an unconventional, violent feeling…'

Next, surges of energy gushed into the goshawk's body.

They were terrifying energies that the goshawk dared not ignore at all. Nevertheless, the power did not hurt its body at all. Instead, they converted into its power once they entered its body.

A strange crossed the goshawk's mind, and it had a strange look on its face.

Being a formidable spirit beast from the upper realm, its knowledge was far from what could be compared by ordinary living beings from this realm.

Therefore, it immediately figured out what power it was, and it was exactly the reason it was in disbelief.

'This power should be the complete opposite of that master's. How can it merge with the flames?' At that moment, the goshawk looked at Ou Yangming with fear.

It was a sincere feeling of being in awe, as well as an act of submitting to greater power.

"Boom, boom, boom…"

The thunderous sounds spread far and wide as the gigantic Inescapable Trap seemed to have shattered into fragments, which flew into the distance.

Who knew, the two spirit insects lifted their bodies, then their auras connected and released a peculiar energy wave. As the energies overflowed, the fragmented Inescapable Trap agglomerated again and formed an unbelievable passage made of the thin film.

Instead of being transparent, the passage made of a thin film was dark and hollow.

Forceful and mysterious energies flowed out from the passage, where dreary cries and screams were heard.

"Oh no!" The goshawk was appalled, and it shouted, "Quickly escape!"

Before Ou Yangming gave an order, it fled far away.

Given that the spirit bird escaped recklessly, it must be something horrifying.

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while, but he did not stop the goshawk. He questioned loudly, "Goshawk, what's that?"

"It's Hell's Passage—a unique passage that uses the Inescapable Trap as a carrier to connect with the upper realm!" The goshawk spread its wings and flew as it explained, "The one that connected and activated the passage is at least a Venerable One!"

Its words were like the last nail in a coffin. As soon as its voice died away, a weird sound was coming from the hollow passage. Following that, an indescribable surge of power burst out and surrounded the escaping goshawk.

It was a vigorous suction, such that even the goshawk could not break free from the power.

Ou Yangming suddenly turned to look at the enormous passage and sensed the mighty power from it. The power was irresistible for him. Not to mention him, even the goshawk could not get rid of the power if it went all out.

Moreover, the blazing fire on Ou Yangming seemed to be detached from him too. The suction was not only drawing the goshawk, but it was also affecting him and Big Yellow.

The two spirit lizards below raised their claws in the air. Their bodies trembled as they tried to maintain the passage, which was evident that it was a troublesome and painful process for them.

Despite that, they dared not complain because they would become the Insects' heroes as long as they managed to capture the human.

The goshawk did its utmost to fly away while Ou Yangming and Big Yellow waited quietly on its back and resisted the strong suction behind them. That said, they could not break free no matter how hard they tried, and they were eventually pulled backward.

Elder Universe watched quietly from below and had a helpless look on his face.

He initially thought he would be safe again, but he knew now that it was merely wishful thinking.

The elder shook his head and looked up to say to Ou Yangming, "Lil' Friend Ou, take care in the future! Look after the Humans!" He did not speak loudly, but his firm voice spread such that Ou Yangming and the others heard him.

Ou Yangming looked down in shock and noticed a familiar figure.

Having said that, a dangerous aura surrounded the person.

Elder Universe yelled, causing the momentum around him to change drastically. The substantial momentum increased steadily, and it seemed to be continuous and endless.

When Ou Yangming previously advanced to Extreme Grade, he triggered a rather powerful energy fluctuation, to the extent that the two spirit insects changed their tactic.

This time, Elder Universe drew Heaven and Earth's attention when his momentum increased to a far-fetched state.

Elder Universe went into isolated cultivation when he was 100 years old, and he renamed himself after he finished cultivating in isolation.

Now, being one of the top-notched powerhouses among the Humans, he was finally displaying the mightiest side of him.

"Boom…"

An unusual airflow appeared above him, and it rose at a mind-blowing speed into the sky. Subsequent to the airflow's dispersion, Heaven and Earth underwent an irreversible change.

Ni Jingsheng widened his eyes atop the wall and yelled in disbelief. "Limit—breaking through the limit… I know what he's going to do!"

Fang Zhaoyang stared into the distance in disbelief too, but he was puzzled. "Brother Ni, what's Senior Universe trying to do?"

"He's going to go beyond Extreme Grade to become the most prominent person in the universe!" Ni Jingshen answered.

"What?" Fang Zhaoyang gasped. He had a poorer vision because he did not have an inheritance from the upper realm, but he was surprised and overjoyed when he heard the news. "Brother Ni, why didn't Senior Universe use this ability earlier?"

Ni Jingshen looked deeply at him with a sorrowful look in his eyes. "Because Senior Universe won't succeed; he's only doing this to perish with the spirit beasts…"

"Pow…"

Once Ni Jingshen explained, dense clouds had unknowingly gathered in the sky. As such, lightning bolts, which appeared to be dancing silver snakes, could be seen everywhere.

The two four-legged insects were so stupefied that their eyes almost popped out. They looked at the lightning clouds above them in fear.

This was Heaven's power, as well as the universe's raging power. Even if the lizards were spirit beasts from the upper realm, they could not resist the universe's power. 'This human—this insignificant human… He actually did this. We must crush him into pieces!'

While the lizards hated Elder Universe to his bones, they dared not give up controlling the thin film at this moment.

This was because they knew they would not end up better than being struck by lightning if they failed for lack of a final effort; they might suffer a much more tragic end.

Elder Universe laughed out loud. He flashed and charged toward one of the four-legged lizards.

He was definitely not a spirit beast's match, but the lizard was resentful when he approached it.

"Woosh…"

The lizard opened its mouth and stuck out its large time. It gathered all its energy in this attack because it wanted to kill the damn human in one move.

Nonetheless, Elder Universe suddenly paused and tapped his chest, causing his armor to release a yellow light.

The Indestructible Defense.

It was an explosive skill from a magic tool, and it protected him from everything.

The lizard's tongue struck Elder Universe, but the elder's body only swayed a little before he regained a firm foothold. He later wielded the longsword in his hand, leaving a trail of blood on the insect's tongue with his weapon's white sword light.

It was the longsword's explosive skill, but it could not cut the lizard's tongue. Nevertheless, the spirit insect was injured.

This was the mightiness of a spirit insect. Before Elder Universe surpassed the Extreme Grade to be on par with the spirit insect, he would not be able to kill it in one go even if he was assisted by a divine weapon or a sharp tool.

The lizard roared in pain, then it turned around abruptly to whip its long tail.

A faint smile was seen on Elder Universe's face. Instead of dodging the tail, he tossed his longsword away and leaped up to hug the lizard's tail.

His body was protected by the magic armor's Indestructible Defense Skill, he was dazed after being hit by the spirit insect. Furthermore, his mouth was bleeding, and he almost passed out.

Even so, Elder Universe was bright-eyed, and he clung to his opponent without any hesitation.

At the spur of the moment, the lizard was terrified and was in despair because it recalled something.

"Pow…"

The Heavenly Thunderbolt came late, but it finally descended and struck Elder Universe.

Elder Universe shivered and spat blood from his mouth, but he laughed out loud.

Amidst his mad laughter, the Heavenly Thunderbolt spread and engulfed the lizard at once.
