Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 485: Deprivation

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

This chaotic war between the sages brought about great sufferings to Da Qian World.

Even its right-hand men, Shang Hou and his fellows, revealed their untrustworthy nature in the key moments.

As Da Qian's will, it naturally had to choose the option that is the most in line with its own benefits!

Undoubtedly, the best way to maintain stability would be to strike down on the dream masters and revoke such immense powers. This was the way to ensure progress!

Therefore, once Da Qian's will, which suffered greatly this time, was to finally escape, it would immediately take control of the 6 and 9 Arrays to completely sever ties with Demonic Heart Realm!

Even the sages were shocked by how resolute this will was.

"It... it... it dares to do so?"

As the sages were suddenly retaliated by the world, they were all stupefied for a moment.

The big war this time was a total bloodbath for the dream masters. Before and after the Bone Door opened, numerous lower tiered dream masters were severely injured and died. At the last few stages, all of them were annihilated. Even 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters were not spared as many of them died and became blood sacrifices.

Now, Da Qian's will was about to make its move to completely eradicate this dream masters' source of trouble!

"There's no use... even if there's complete segregation, the large amounts of dream elemental force from Demonic Heart Realm that entered our world this time around is sufficient to support us in restoring our hollows! It might even be enough for us to seek revenge and break ourselves free from this world!"

The Ancient One clenched his teeth and smiled coldly.

Due to the opening of the Bone Door just now and the large amount of energy from the Demonic Heart Realm, the current Da Qian World was extremely abundant in dream elemental force. It was sufficient enough to support for a period of time for the dream masters to search for other countermeasures.

"Hehe..."

However, Fang Yuan already expected such a long time ago.

After he experienced the experiment in Planet Earth realm, he was very clear about such worlds' baseline. He was also very clear about the way they operated.

With these few close shaves with the complete destruction of the world, the will of the world could use it to rationalise itself to breakthrough some sort of limitation and make great changes to the world.

"But would this crisis really pass so easily?"

Fang Yuan was very doubtful of such. After all, Da Qian World was much bigger than Planet Earth realm and its natural source was rich and dense. Furthermore, a physical door was already opened!

"Wooo! Wooooo!"

At the next moment, a fearful feeling appeared in everyone's mind. Even Prominent Divine dream masters felt chills all over their body and all their hair stood up at once.

"What is... that?"

Numerous bolts of heavenly violet lightning flashed crazily in the skies and struck on the already petrified Bone Door like a waterfall.

However, there was suddenly a demonic glow of light shining on the door as it slowly opened.

"That is..."

An extremely aghast and frightened look appeared on Shang Hou's face as he then immediately ran for his life without turning back. It was as though he saw his nemesis.

"Knock! Knock!"

A few knocks could be heard. It was as though there was a certain 'presence' opposite the door that was trying to test out how strong or weak the world on this side was.

At the same time the door was about to break apart, all the living things inside Da Qian World immediately felt uneasy and irritated. It was as though they had a hunch that death was imminent!

At first, Shang Hou's original demonic body should have been stuck opposite that Bone Door. However, none of his spiritual aurae was around anymore now.

"That..."

The Ancient One and the other sages felt their skin crawl as they sensed the unknown terror and chaos behind that door. That was...

"How could... there be such a thing..."

Sage Baize lost the soul in his eyes and was rather dispirited, "If I knew this was the case earlier, I would have never wanted to connect with such a world!"

"Creak!"

The Bone Door opened slightly and there was now a small gap.

At that instant, all the living things in Da Qian World were suffocated. Even the world's will was quivering.

'The other party is too strong... The current me is still too weak. I can't even abandon my flesh body and dream-traverse to other realms to survive...'

Fang Yuan held his breath and looked at the Bone Door that was slowly opening. His eyes were filled with stubbornness and perseverance.

Fang Yuan's stats and abilities shook and immediately made him felt like a sage as he barely gained some mental capability for action. He then immediately began to plan his escape route.

"What exactly is behind the door?"

Under the eyes of everyone, the Bone Door opened for the fourth time.

"Rumble!!!"

An unimaginable and indescribable presence descended.

Even Prominent Divine dream masters could not move at all under such a mighty presence. They were just like ants now.

Immediately, Fang Yuan felt a line of sight, or should he say, a will that was projected from the door. It immediately scanned through the world and was elated as though it was a predator that had finally seen its delicious prey.

'This is... the true horror of Demonic Heart Realm?'

A bead of cold sweat rolled down Fang Yuan's forehead, 'Previously, it was just a pure energy passage as Planet Earth Realm was too small and could only attract a Hades... But now, what kind of horrifying presence is descending?'

Suddenly, a neverending voice rang inside every dream master's heart.

This voice was constantly changing and its pitch was fluctuating high and low. For a while, it was sharp and piercing and moments later, it was warm and gentle sounding. It was singing an unknown note which formed a meaning.

"I am taking away your path!"

'Taking away... path, what does it mean?'

Fang Yuan frowned and his expression changed at once.

Inside his actualised dream world.

The original actualised dream world of his that was like a small paradise suddenly began to shrink. A mysterious energy was continuously being pulled out and made the sword children degenerate. One by one, they lost their spiritual awareness/spiritually aware and even their bodies were gone as they turned into the most basic long sword.

Furthermore, even the actualised divine swords began to debase and corrode as though they had been through millions of years.

"Ouch!"

An intense pain stemming from the soul suddenly struck Fang Yuan as though it wanted to tear apart the entire person. Even with Fang Yuan's steel-like will, he could not help but to groan in pain.

Pain!

Such an immense pain that was as if the person's veins and bones were being pulled out alive was suddenly felt by all dream masters in Da Qian!

Some lower-tiered dream-accessing masters and Illusionary Divine dream masters even died from such an intense pain!

Fang Yuan forced himself to raise his head and saw the four sages had fallen to the ground too. Their lips and eyebrows were twitching and it was evident they were not spared too.

At the same time, the spiritual aura on their bodies was quickly dissipating too.

Soon enough, from being Prominent Divine powerful beings, they fell to the 9th Tier, then the 8th Tier... the 7th Tier, their cultivations were falling like the roller coaster.

On Fang Yuan's own body, it was the same too.

His cultivation at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage fell drastically and slowly maintained at the beginning tier of Illusionary Divine stage. Furthermore, Fang Yuan felt empty inside his heart as though he had lost something very important.

"Dissipation of cultivation?"

A phrase suddenly appeared inside Fang Yuan's mind. He then immediately shook his head, "No... it's the deprivation above all rules..."

Even if Fang Yuan lost his dream master abilities, he was still a True Divine martial artist! Fang Yuan stood straight and though quickly. He then immediately knew what he lost, "The ability to spiritualise at the 7th Tier Illusionary Divine stage, and also... the ability to actualise!"

Illusionary Divine dream masters could actualise spiritual spells and magical soldiers. They had thousands of paths which were profound and marvellous. They were incomparable.

After the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage, dream masters had the ability to spiritualise and they could open prosperous lands and create living things!

Prominent Divine dream masters were known as the creator gods! They could create another race of humans! They could also civilise them!

This was how dream masters went up the tiers and it was a path unique to Da Qian; it was very different from the Demonic Heart Realm. Furthermore... it was more lively and more promising!

But now, this path was snatched away by the Demonic Heart Realm!

The other party really acted like how they said they would. They completely took away the hopes of the newly thriving dream masters in Da Qian!

Such a divine technique was truly unimaginable! It was above and beyond any law!

"Thud!"

The Bone Door closed as if it obtained what it wanted. The entire door turned light grey and was immediately bombarded by the heavenly violet lightning into ashes.

'Let me think about it...'

Fang Yuan's face was extremely cold as he quickly ruminated, "Stripping away the path... such an event is truly shocking and horrific. But since it's the Demonic Heart Ream, anything could have happened... Strictly speaking, the path of us dream master dao lies, the dream dao, is rooted from the oddity of dream elemental force. Since the foundation is in the hands of others, there is naturally the possibility of it being taken away by others."

If the path of dream masters was described as the most eye-catching fruit on a fruit tree, then dream elemental force would be its soil!

Demonic Heart Realm would then be the land. Since it controlled the land, it could naturally do anything it wants to the crop on top of itself!

"But... what exactly is that presence just now? Could that be the Demonic Heart Realm's heavenly will?"

Fang Yuan thought hard, "Da Qian World was clearly rich in heavenly energy, why didn't it directly harvest it? Wait a minute, who said this wasn't harvesting?"

Fang Yuan was enlightened at once, "The Demonic Heart Realm was like the apex predator! If it meets a normal realm, it would naturally annihilate everything and devour its natural source as it only cared about the short-term benefits. However, although our Da Qian World was eyed and infiltrated with dream elemental force, we have countless powerful and capable people. We created the unique path of dream master and thus, it used another method of harvesting. It is akin to how the Demonic Heart Realm is planting a fruit tree and it will periodically harvest its fruit but will not destroy the tree as it anticipates future harvests... That means, the Demonic Heart Realm valued Da Qian greatly."

This self-created system of dream masters could also greatly patch up Demonic Heart Realm's foundation!

Hence, the other party directly snatched away such a path but did not destroy it. Perhaps, it was even anticipating the next round of benefits!

"This is a higher levelled form of harvesting that's beyond just harvesting the natural source? By spreading its seeds and allowing it to grow freely before snatching away such an excellent path to complete its own foundation?"

Fang Yuan pondered silently as he clenched his fists.

With his current state, he was just like those magicians who lost their magic tricks. Even though he still had his dream elemental force, without the system, his mind could no longer affect matter and his consciousness could no longer affect reality. Thus, he could not unleash sufficient power.

This was the case for sages too!

"Of course, luckily I broke through beyond the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine before and have contact with the ability to create living things before. Sooner or later, I will be able to start from the most basic uses of dream elemental force and discover some stuff... Sages might be more powerful than me, but even if they recover, they might not be as strong as their old selves."

Fang Yuan immediately recognised this point, "Previously, I hastened my cultivation at all cost because I had slight worries regarding this area. However, I thought at the very most, only dream elemental force would be segregated and would become harder to obtain. I never thought the result would be so drastic!"

Such a detachment from laws could even spoil the foundation of lower tiered dream masters and cause them to die!

Fang Yuan heaved a long breath and looked to the skies as he felt an extremely inauspicious omen.
