“I know you.” Ou Yangming shifted his gaze from Xue Sha to another person and asked, “May I know who you are?”

“I’m Kun Xuzi,” the man in white said slightly.

“I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Upon hearing this name, Ou Yangming felt relieved. The person who could obtain a divine spark and enter this place was obviously not an ordinary person.

Kun Xuzi was not as well-known as Xue Sha, but he was still an important figure who had shaken a region 100,000 years ago. He was a genius of the Green Imperial Nation, one of the 4 great nations. There were even rumors that he had obtained the true inheritance of Green Imperial.

Not being as famous as Xue Sha did not mean that his strength was inferior to Xue Sha’s. It was only because he was too low-key.

“You also know who I am?” Kun Xuzi said lightly.

“Who doesn’t know the disciple of Green Imperial?” Ou Yangming smiled.

“Good fella, you already know our identities so shouldn’t you also reveal yours?” Xue Sha looked at Ou Yangming curiously.

He wanted to know who this guy was to be able to obtain a key to this Universe Graveyard.

Not only that, but the young fellow even defeated the eagle guarding the entrance. It was because of this that the 2 of them started to pay attention to Ou Yangming. After all, to defeat that eagle, one needed to be at least close to the Seventh Heaven.

A person with such strength could not be unknown.

It was just a pity that the 2 of them searched through the memories of all the powerhouses in their minds, but they were unable to match up with Ou Yangming’s appearance.

100,000 years was not a short period. To them, they believed that Ou Yangming should be a genius that rose during this period. That was why they did not know about him.

“My name is Ou Yangming.” Ou Yangming did not lie. There was nothing to hide about his name.

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Ou Yangming chuckled. “The two of you have been here for 100,000 years. It’s normal that you don’t know about me.”

“Which force do you represent?” After a moment of silence, Kun Xuzi asked.

“I’m only representing myself.” Ou Yangming smiled and walked toward the stairs.

It was unknown if he was brushing them off or if it was true.

Xue Sha and Kun Xuzi looked at each other, but they did not remind Ou Yangming of anything.

The stone steps could test the strength of a person. If he was powerful, it would be fine; if he was just average, they would not need to be polite with him. There were already 2 formidable figures here. They did not want a third one to appear.

‘If he can’t step on the 10th step, let’s join hands and kill him quickly,’ Xue Sha’s voice sounded in Kun Xuzi’s ears.

When they first came here, they could reach the 10th step.

If Ou Yangming could not reach the 10th step, it meant that he was just bluffing. If Xue Sha and Kun Xuzi joined forces, they could easily finish off the other party. This way, accidents could be avoided.

Kun Xuzi did not answer but under Xue Sha’s gaze, he was silent for a moment before he finally nodded.

If Ou Yangming could not even go up the 10th step, he would not pose much of a threat to them. They could end the battle very quickly, and they would not have to worry about any unnecessary trouble arising from a great battle.

Seeing that Ou Yangming was prepared to step onto the first stone step…

Kun Xuzi’s expression turned slightly cold, and he said telepathically, ‘This is his first time here. It’s very likely that he’ll be greedy for merit and advance rashly. Even if he manages to step onto the 10th step, it’s very likely that he’ll be injured by the laws of the universe on the stone steps due to his overconfidence. At that time, he’ll be very weak. It’ll be a good opportunity for us.”

‘Alright.’ Xue Sha’s eyes flashed with killing intent, ‘If he gets injured, we’ll attack together.’

The 2 of them made up their minds. As soon as anything happened to Ou Yangming, they would attack and kill him.

On the other side, Ou Yangming had reached the stone steps.

When he took the first step, he felt that this stone step was different.

Ou Yangming was not stupid. The 2 figures had been here for 100,000 years, but they still could not obtain the heart of the universe. Obviously, the stone steps were not that simple.

Suddenly, a wave of the laws of the universe surged out of the stone steps. This power was magical and instantly filled his spiritual sea.

The laws of the universe were similar to the powers of profound meanings. Despite that, ordinary people would not have the right to touch them, and Ou Yangming had not touched them either.

Nonetheless, he had mastered 4 profound meanings, and he had even fused 2 of them. His comprehension was so strong that it would not be difficult to understand the shallow power of the laws of the universe.

Soon, Ou Yangming understood the chaotic law powers in his head. Then, he walked forward again.

The second step. This time, the powers of the laws of the universe were just as simple.

Ou Yangming did not stay in this spot for long. After he understood them, he walked forward again.

The third step was much more profound than the first step. Ou Yangming also understood the importance of the powers of the laws of the universe.

It was worth noting that the universe was an eternal existence. In the universe, there were countless powerhouses equal to heaven. Some of them had fathomed one profound meaning while others had grasped many of them. Some of them even comprehended many kinds and had fused them. Their strengths were terrifying.

These people lived in the universe. They had terrifying destructive powers. The universe had to control them. Otherwise, the whole universe would be destroyed soon.

The powers of the laws of the universe were thus born. For example, Heavenly Rank powerhouses could not enter great worlds easily. Heavenly Rank powerhouses from the lower realms could only go down when a world was destroyed. These were the restrictions of the laws of the universe.

Otherwise, if a large number of Heavenly Rank powerhouses went down, a great world would not be able to withstand them and would collapse very quickly.

Chaos was the foundation of the universe, and the great worlds were the body of the universe. If the worlds were destroyed, the universe would lose its meaning of existence.

Comprehending the laws of the universe was still very useful.

If one could reach a certain realm, one could break away from the restrictions of the universe. One could transcend things, which was more powerful than fusing profound meanings. Having said that, ordinary people did not have the chance to get into contact with these things.

Now that such a good opportunity was in front of him, Ou Yangming obviously did not want to waste it.

After staying for a while, Ou Yangming moved forward again. His mental power was concentrated, and the power of countless rules flowed in his body.

Half a day later.

Ou Yangming had walked to the 10th step. At this point, he could feel the strong resistance.

Compared to the first level, the laws of the universe here were more than 10 times more profound.

Ou Yangming’s speed also slowed down a lot.

‘Comprehending the powers of these laws will be of great help to the evolution of the poisonous pill’s world. If I obtain the heart of the universe, I can quickly transform the world into a true great world. At that time, the creatures of the Great Wide World might still be able to survive.’

The Great Wide World was where Ou Yangming lived. No one who left the Great Wide World would wish for the entire world to be destroyed. It was just that no one could do anything about it.

Besides, the living beings in the Great Wide World were unable to migrate to other worlds. This was the restriction of the Heavenly Path.

Unless one had the strength to surpass Xing Tian and kill the Heavenly Path of the Great Wide World, one might be able to save some people. However, this was still futile.

2 worlds were very far apart. The difficulty of crossing a world’s barrier was shocking. Furthermore, the Heavenly Paths of the other worlds would reject such actions. To a world, the increase in powerhouses would only be a burden.

If Ou Yangming created a great world, all problems would be easily solved. The great world would be in his main body, and he could freely enter the world. As long as he was willing, he could quickly move all the living beings in the Great Wide World away.

The ideal was nice, but the reality was very cruel because Ou Yangming only had less than 4 months.

If Ou Yangming could not succeed in these 4 months, even if he succeeded later, it would have no effect on the Great Wide World because it had already gone through a cycle of reincarnation, and everyone had turned to ashes.

The 11th step.

Ou Yangming continued forward.

His heart was calm and tranquil as if he had merged with this world.

Not far away, Kun Xuzi and Xue Sha, who had been observing this side, frowned. They did not look good.

The 10th step was their bottom line. If Ou Yangming took 10 steps, it meant that he was very strong and had a deep understanding of profound meanings. If they wanted to make a move, they had to think carefully.

‘What should we do?’ Xue Sha transmitted his voice again.

‘He’s much faster than I thought. In just half a day, he has reached the 10th step. This is much faster than the first time we went up. Due to the influence of the laws of the universe, we couldn’t comprehend the profound meanings. The powers of the laws of the universe are much stronger than him but if we use them here, I’m afraid that the heart of the universe will be damaged. We should wait until he’s injured…’ Kun Xuzi’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

‘Okay.’ Xue Sha looked at Ou Yangming again.

From the 10th step onward, the difficulty had multiplied. Ou Yangming’s face was slightly pale.

He gritted his teeth and forcefully took another step forward.

The 12th step.

A surge of the powers of the laws of the universe instantly entered Ou Yangming’s mind, which made his head feel swollen and painful. If these laws of the universe could be digested, it would be fine as they would be of great help to his strength. On the other hand, if he could not comprehend them, it would have a great impact on his body. He might even lose his life.

‘The 12th step should be my current limit.’ Ou Yangming raised his head and looked at the tall steps.

There were a total of 99 steps on the stone steps. Judging from the degree of increase in the powers of the laws. It would take him a long time to fully comprehend the stone steps and reach the top. It was almost a desperate situation.

He did not know which step Xue Sha and Kun Xuzi had reached, but they had not obtained the heart of the universe even after 100,000 years. This meant that there was a huge problem. He would be injured if he continued to move forward.

Those 2 figures were watching from the side. Ou Yangming knew he had to protect his strength.

‘Looks like I’ll have to rest for a few days.’ Ou Yangming took a step back and prepared to leave temporarily.

All of a sudden, the voice of a white-clothed old man appeared in his mind. The eight trigrams under the old man’s feet spun crazily.

The old man gradually stood up.. This was also the first time he stood up after being in Ou Yangming’s spiritual sea for many years.
