Chapter 411 A Standoff Between Two Beasts

The Soul-sucking Technique.

It was a secret technique passed on to Ou Yangming by the little phoenix, and it could be used to perfectly control a spirit beast.

Once the secret technique was used, the young fellow would not need to worry about the Eight-armed Giant Beast revolting. This was because the technique could not only control the spirit beast’s life with ease, but it could also give spiritual suggestions.

The longer the technique was used, the more obedient the spirit beast. As such, the beast would unlikely rebel.

Needless to say, not all spirit beasts were qualified enough to be on the receiving end of the secret technique. The technique would expand a spirit beast’s potential, giving it a chance to reach a higher boundary.

If it was not because they were in the upper realm where there were no stronger spirit beasts to choose from, the little bird might not have been willing to release the secret technique.

Ou Yangming exhaled deeply and stomped his foot gently to express his gratitude toward the little bird through the mark.

It was not easy to complete the Soul-sucking Technique. Other than the spirit beast’s full cooperation, Ou Yangming needed to have substantial powers to suppress it. Although his mental power had reached 99 points, he did not have surging powers. He could only succeed because he borrowed the powers reserved by the little bird. In a way, the Eight-armed Spirit Beast was actually a deliberately planned gift from the little bird.

Far away, the little bird flapped its wings cheerfully and hopped on a large rock because it was elated. It was somewhat proud because Ou Yangming had addressed it as his senior, and it decided that it would not meet him until it was done enjoying being a senior.

Ou Yangming called out to the “senior” through the mark but apart from being able to sense someone’s existence, he did not receive any message in return after a long time.

He sighed and thought, “This senior’s extremely mysterious indeed, but since he treats me with kindness, I don’t need to force him to meet me.”

With a flash of thought, Ou Yangming sensed the changes in his sea of consciousness.

An illusory figure of the Eight-armed Giant Beast, which was covered in flames, had somehow appeared. The figure was much bigger than Ou Yangming when it first appeared, but it was as tiny as the other attribute lights in his sea of consciousness at the moment.

Nonetheless, the shadow was different from the lights because it was alive, and it could interact with Ou Yangming without any obstructions.

When Ou Yangming gathered his mental conception, he arrived outside the purple fire. The Eight-armed Giant Beast’s illusory image was observing Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness out of curiosity. When it noticed the endless purple lights, it showed reverence as though it stemmed from fear deep down its heart. As a result, the beast shuddered with fear.

It was previously dubious about Ou Yangming’s identity, but it no longer had doubts after it witnessed the sea of consciousness.

Even though it could not understand why its eminent master had transformed into a human and seemed to be quite… Weak, it did not want to get to the bottom of it anymore.

After all, the beast could not guess the masters’ thoughts. If it had wishful hopes of perceiving their thoughts, it would certainly have a particularly tragic end. All of a sudden, the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s soul, which was being restrained, noticed Ou Yangming’s figure outside the light. It was alarmed, but it quickly bowed and uttered, “Greetings, sir.”

They were in Ou Yangming’s spirit of consciousness, hence they could understand each other’s thoughts through their conceptions without needing to communicate. Ou Yangming had indeed sensed the beast’s obedience and respect, which truly confused him. He wondered, ‘Is the controlling art passed on to me by that mysterious senior so effective?’

After some thought, he ordered the beast to get up.

Almost immediately, Ou Yangming felt an intense movement beneath his feet because the Eight-armed Giant Beast, which was kneeling on the ground, had finally stood up. When it straightened its hefty body, it seemed to be taller than the city walls.

Ou Yangming curbed his thoughts and returned his mental conception into his body. As he overlooked the people inside the prefecture from the giant beast’s head, it felt like it was dreaming.

The fearsome giant beast, which fought the people some time ago, had become Ou Yangming’s follower in the blink of an eye, and its life was under his control. The enormous change and disparity were simply unbelievable.

“Master Ou, how do you… Feel?” Li Xinfan’s voice was heard, and he sounded like he was worried.

Ou Yangming took a deep breath and answered, “General Li, don’t worry, everything’s fine.”

It was them when the visions of the people went blurry as a yellow figure appeared on the wall out of nowhere.

The big yellow dog had somehow come to the main gate. It stared at the Eight-armed Giant Beast and bared its teeth while showing a fierce look through its eyes. On the other hand, the giant beast lowered its body and widened its mouth such that it could swallow the yellow dog in one go. Subsequently, it roared at Big Yellow.

“Roar—”

It was a deafening roar, causing the other people to be panic-stricken.

Even so, the big yellow dog did not show a weak impression at all; it opened up its mouth too. The yellow dog was not as humongous as the giant beast, but its momentum was not inferior at all.

“Roar,”

Big Yellow did not bark like a dog; it roared like a beast king.

The giant beasts with striking builds glared at each other as if they were sworn enemies that could not coexist.

Ou Yangming held its forehead because it noticed in his sea of consciousness the expression of the Eight-armed Giant Beast, which was wrapped by a purple light. It looked exactly like the real giant beast as it was also deeply infuriated. Nevertheless, amidst the fury, there seemed to be something unusual

too.

Fear.

Yes. If Ou Yangming was not mistaken, it was a feeling of fear.

Despite that, he was shocked because the beast was not afraid of the big yellow dog, which was roaring at it from a distance away, but it was fearful of him.

‘What’s going on? I wasn’t aiming at it at all?’

The Eight-armed Giant Beast paused as though it noticed Ou Yangming looking at it, and it cast a flattering look at the young fellow. Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows because he realized that the giant beast was not worried about being punished by him; it was fighting for favor.

From the time when Big Yellow and Ou Yangming got acquainted and eventually underwent hardships together, they were never in a master-servant relationship. In fact, they were as i
