The Ancient Path to Heaven…
Ao Ying had found a strange dream cage during his mission in 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 was unable to break away from the cage of dreams.
In that illusory and unreal dream, the cycle repeats endlessly.
He was well aware that if he could not escape from this dream cage, he would be trapped in this dream forever until his body died. His soul would also be trapped within it forever, unable to escape.
Therefore, Ao Ying was afraid. Compared to death, what he encountered was even more terrifying.
Of course, this was after he regained consciousness.
Otherwise, he must be immersed in an illusory dream built from desire, enjoying false glory and excitement.
He had defeated all the elites of the Eternal Realm and rose to the top rank. He also ascended the throne of the Dragon King and wielded great power, receiving the adoration and admiration of millions of people.
After that, he would unify the Eternal Realm, establish the Eternal Court, and conquer the various Eternal Realms…
The dream repeated until Ao Ying suddenly realized that he was in a dream, and his consciousness seemed to have slightly awakened.
However, he could not wake up completely. He felt as if he was in a nightmare. Even though he knew that all of this was fake, he could not control his own dreams.
His soul seemed to be trapped in his dream, and he could no longer feel his body.
The scene in front of him alternated between blurry and clear. His voice is sometimes sharp and sometimes deep.
His consciousness alternated between clear and sinking as he struggled bitterly.
Ao Ying was also trying to tell herself that everything was a dream, and she tried her best to put desire and ambition in her heart, hoping to penetrate the dream born from this desire.
But his struggle was in vain.
Suddenly, a drumming sound rang out in his ears.
Thump!
Knock it! Knock it!
As the drums rang, Ao Ying immediately felt his soul tremble violently with him. He seemed to be conscious.
Thumping! Thumping! Thumping!
Another rhythmic drum beat sounded. Ao Ying could feel his heart beating along with the drumbeat.
Knock it! Knock it!
Ao Ying could feel his blood tremble, his meridians tremble, and the magic power in his body tremble.
Knock it! Knock it!
Ao Ying felt his body tremble so did the scene in front of him.
In the end, loudly, the scene instantly disappeared.
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 she was having a nightmare. He sat down suddenly and took a deep breath as if he had been saved.
"I'm finally awake!" Ao Ying said with lingering fear.
Fortunately, there was a mysterious drum blow earlier. Otherwise, he didn't know if he could wake up.
But where did the sound of the drum 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 a foul smell.
There was no one within a range of several hundred kilometers, let alone a human figure.
“Is it an illusion? But it doesn't seem!” Ao Ying closed her eyes slightly as if she could hear the sound of those drums again. An incredible figure from before appeared before his eyes again.
However, when he opened his eyes, everything disappeared.
"How strange!" Ao Ying was shocked.
Although he had just been trapped in a dream cage and did not dare to close his eyes, the drumbeat and the extraordinary figure fascinated him.
He closed his eyes again. The drumsticks slowly became clearer, and the blurry figure appeared again. Although her true appearance could not be seen, Ao Ying could still feel how extraordinary she was.
Thumping! Thumping! Thumping!
In an instant, Ao Ying felt as if he had fallen into a mysterious state.
Mind clear. The drum was no longer just a voice for him. It sounded more like some sort of Great Dao legacy, some sort of divine power technique.
This time, Ao Ying did not open her eyes. Instead, he was immersed in this mysterious state to understand the Great Dao contained within the drum.
After some time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible force seemed to be exiting his body.
At the same time, the sound of drums was heard in the world. Space shook, and the countless withered trees in the surroundings instantly turned into dust.
Whooshing sound…
Ao Ying sighed in relief, and his eyes were filled with unrestrained excitement.
Just now, he had actually comprehended the supreme divine power of the drumbeat.
No, to be exact, that extraordinary figure had taught him the supreme divine power with a drumming sound.
“Thank you, Dear God, for your teachings!” Ao Ying closed his eyes and kowtowed deeply at the figure.
He had no idea who it was or why he was teaching him divine power.
However, he could not help but feel grateful.
That person not only saved him from the dream prison, but he also taught him such a powerful holy power. Kneeling and prostrating were not enough to repay his kindness.
Furthermore, when he understood the divine power earlier, he felt that he had vaguely heard the term 'Esteemed God'. He didn't know if it was his imagination or if he really heard it.
Regardless, according to Ao Ying, that person's outstanding appearance was worthy of the title of Honorable Deity.
It's thundering!
At this moment, the ground under his feet suddenly shook violently. Ao Ying immediately soared into the sky. At the same time, a giant centipede with a human face crawled out from the ground.
The centipede was extremely large, 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 came from the dragon race, could not compare.
However, this was not the first time he had met a centipede with a human face. They're everywhere.
This person in front of him was many times larger than the one he had met before. His aura is also stronger. It was clearly this demon king.
“Hmph, evil creature, you came at the right time. I can test the strength of my new holy power! A cold glint flashed across Ao Ying's eyes as he formed a hand seal.
A gigantic drum and the ghost of a god dragon suddenly appeared in the air behind him.
The divine dragon swung its tail and hit the drum hard!
Thump!
The sound waves swept out and instantly swept over the human-faced centipede.
The human-faced centipede's expression changed as its body wriggled and countless claws froze.
Immediately, the outermost skin like armor cracked open, and body fluids seeped out.
His towering body shattered into pieces, more deadly than death.
"This divine power is indeed powerful!" Ao Ying was very surprised. He did not expect that a single strike would kill the Human-faced Centipede King, who was many times stronger than before.
It must be known that it took effort to kill that ordinary human-faced centipede.
"With this holy power, it will be easier for me to complete the level!" Ao Ying was overjoyed.
"I must name this divine power!"
"What do I call it?"
Ao Ying frowned and thought hard.
This name should be unique and sound impressive.
He recalled the feeling when he first understood this divine power. Drums rang out, and his meridians trembled.
When he used his holy power, a drumbeat sounded, destroying his meridians and organs.
“Yes, it is called Great Meridian Art!”
