Carefree Path of Dreams

“Miss Liu, the demon seeds are dangerous even when hidden. They can be easily triggered in a human’s body…”

Ah Duo also reminded them, “After the big war has ended, it’s best for me to check everyone.”

“What can it hide?”

Liu Mengmei face’s changed.

“Yes… We demon spirits have a special ability. While changing between illusion and reality, our aura may not be completely purified even though it remains very powerful…”

Ah Duo looked at the shadows outside. His eyes were filled with envy, “Oh, demon general! I really want to eat them!”

“If I were you, I would be happy they haven’t already eaten me!”

The Extreme Darkness said coldly, “I have already contacted the mountain master. He promised to come back as soon as possible!”

“What? That’s great!”

Liu Mengmei looked happy. “Without the mountain master, the disciples and deacons here in the mountain are very uneasy…”

Up to now, she had fully understood Fang Yuan’s role. It was as if he stabilized the ocean with a magic needle ¹ .

With the mess they were in, his power was both a source of comfort and hope.

“Jianmu has a lot of life force left. Additionally, the Green-Wood Sky Net Array seems to be able to stay strong. They should be able to hold out until the mountain master arrives!”

She thought about it then blurted out, “As long as the frequency of that type of attack is low…”

Outside, the Tentacle Giant outside roared and charged the mouth of the valley. It then tore the screen harshly with its sharp three-fingered claws.

Buzz!

The green light vibrated, causing the disciples to feel extremely uneasy.

Suddenly, one disciple shouted as he grabbed his throat. His eyeballs exploded and a black tentacle crawled out from his mouth.

“It’s a parasite!”

Ah Duo lept towards him, stretching out his hands. He took something similar to a black octopus out from the disciple’s chest and swallowed it whole.

The disciple had already lost his life force and was dead.

“Quick!”

Extreme Darkness witnessed the scene and immediately commanded, “Hand down the Magic Pendant Water and open the Pacify Heart Array. Disciples, remain calm and do not panic!”

Demon spirits used various types of strong emotions as fuel. If there was panic anywhere near the demon seeds, something bad would happen.

“Whoever discovered the unusual user, kill him immediately!”

The chaos world had severe punishments. Extreme Darkness, who had plenty of experience with that world, would not be soft-hearted at all.

…

“Looks like Extreme Darkness is responding well, I was worried for nothing!”

At the center of the Green-Wood Sky Net Array, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the tree’s crown and nodded his head.

After restoring his dream master’s cultivation, he drove the sword into the air and flew as fast as lightning. Naturally, he arrived early. No one likes a plot where the main character appears in the nick of time in order to save the day.

On a whim, he stayed hidden to see how well the small team he had created could resist pressure. As he had the harnessed the array’s highest power, no one found him.

For now, the situation looked good.

“Extreme Darkness is very experienced and Mengmei has a knack for management. Even though the foundation of the 9 Extremes Mountain may be lacking and are unstable, the mountain is still usable as long as we have time to settle.”

Fang Yuan looked towards the side of the mountain currently being attacked by the Tentacle Giant. He took a step forward and said, “And… this farce should also end!”

Kaboom!

The heavens and earth shook and another humongous giant appeared. It seemed like the black eagle-feathered beast had appeared out of thin air. It threw a punch at the Tentacle Giant.

It was as if Pan Gu ² had split open heaven and earth. Infinite energy was concentrated into a force that immediately attacked the Tentacle Giant.

Ping! Ping!

An explosion rang into the air as the tentacles on its body broke off one by one. The Tentacle Giant shrilled, “This is… energy from a demon’s heart! How are you able to borrow such a concentration of demonic heart energy?”

The demon spirits were special. They were difficult to injure using average energy. Demons at the level of demon general were even more difficult to defeat.

However, Fang Yuan was different.

As a Tier 4 Illusionary Divine dream master, he was able to grasp the elemental force of dream. By simply using it and transferring it to his fist, he could seriously harm the demon generals.

“Who’s there?”

The Giant fell to the ground. A large number of tentacles spread out from its body. “Who… dares harm the great Ahmo Fanduo?”

These tentacles produced a thick, purple liquid that allowed the injury to heal quickly.

“This is so disgusting!”

As if he were smashing an egg to pieces, Fang Yuan countered the giant’s defense. An invisible power struck, cutting off the tentacles.

This type of demon general might have been very troublesome for Fang Yuan’s True Divine, but for the dream master from the 7th Tier Illusionary Divine, it could be restrained.

After all, they were all made out of dream energy.

And for the demon general under his feet, it was very unlucky to meet Fang Yuan when he was at his peak.

Thump!

Suddenly, the Tentacle Giant exploded. An unbearable stench rose from the thick fluid into the air.

From the explosion, a line of black light shot in the direction of the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion.

“Wanna go? You have to ask me first!”

Fang Yuan raised his hands and the power of the Modest Wind Sword emerged. His palm was extremely graceful, moving as if it went across space to the edge of the world. He was able to hold onto the black light in a flash.

“Seal!”

A dark silver elemental dream force surged violently. It became lines of fine, packed chains made from symbols. These surrounded the black light and became a firm seal.

Only the elemental dream force could be used to deal with demon spirits!

The sealing method was one of Fang Yuan’s recent innovations. He had used the research done by the dream masters of Da Qian Empire as his foundation and added the realization content obtained from the seal’s body. It was well done. As soon as it completely sealed, there was no chance of escaping it.

“Ahmo Fanduo…”

High in the air, the illusionary giant snake seemed sluggish. “It was so easily defeated?” it said.

“That person is not weak!”

The black fire surrounding 3-tailed Scorpion Lion burned and glared at Fang Yuan. “He is not only a sacred martial artist among the humans, but he also uses demonic heart energy. An average demon general is no match for the combination of these two!”

“However… humankind! You shouldn’t provoke me!”

It roared and the black flames covered the sky. They set the day on fire.

“Happiness, anger, and sadness… It used emotions to fuel the fire?”

Fang Yuan glanced in the fire’s direction and opened up his arms. “Territory!” he screamed.

An invisible power appeared and immediately blew the black fire out. He kept moving forward until he was in front of the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion and threw a punch.

Kaboom!

It was as if the heavens and earth had been punched and broke, becoming a mess of earth, fire, wind, and water.

“Chaos Divine Fist!”

Fang Yuan stared at the leader of the Demon Spirit army, the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion, focused.

“Bite of Nothingness!”

The large, translucent snake sped forward and opened its mouth. It was like a black hole that was able to swallow the skies and devour the earth and met Fang Yuan’s fist.

Kaboom!

The sound traveled through the air. The four elements assembled and smothered the black hole. Without a decrease in power, they landed on the giant snake.

Crack! Crack!

Victim to the current of power, the torso of the giant snake cracked and broke into crystal-like pieces that danced in the air.

“My apologies Mister Three-tails, the power of this human is too strong… I cannot defeat it…”

A light flashed and the creature’s breath quieted. Only its voice was left in its place.

“It actually escaped! Its ability to stay alive is not that bad!”

Fang Yuan commended this ability but was not bothered by it. “You are the controller of the demon spirits? Why are you attacking our mountain?”

“Because you created a world that oppresses us!”

The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion did not seem to be afraid as it spoke, “Human, although you are strong, in the Demonic Heart Realm, you are more insignificant than ants… You will never know how strong we are… Ah!”

Before it finished talking, it retreated quickly as Fang Yuan’s fist landed on it.

“You speak too much nonsense!”

Kaboom!

The ground shook and a deep pit appeared. Fang Yuan transformed into a giant. He moved casually, twisting his neck while saying with a clear voice, “I don’t need to know the situation in Demonic Heart Realm. I only know that I am stronger than you right now and that’s enough!”

While he shouted, lines of fiery-red symbols spread over his body. They became one with the original lines, forming a tight-fitting armor.

“God of Fire! God of Fire!”

A shadowy body appeared behind the giant. It looked ferocious. Its earlobes were hooked with fire snakes and a fire dragon flew underneath it. Unexpectedly, it was an image of the Fire Witch!

In his heart, Fang Yuan could feel that he had gained an extra power.

“This is the benefit of increasing the bloodline of a Fire Witch?”

As if the ability wasn’t out of the ordinary, Fang Yuan opened his mouth and the 9 Fiery Dragons hollered.

Roar! Roar!

Burning flames surrounded the 9 Fiery Dragons’ bodies. They distorted everything with fire. The flames were not normal ones, they were real magical flames!

The normal demons in the spirit army at the bottom of the mountain had come into contact with some fire sparks and were immediately immolated. There was nothing left of them.

In addition, the fiery red, strong flames became stronger and more powerful as they smothered the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion’s black fire.

“My special technique isn’t the Fiery Dragons, but their flames!”

Above Fang Yuan’s fist was a ring of raging fire. Amazed, he thought, “It can continuously transform by swallowing other spiritual fire types?”

Originally, he had calculated that he would need to expose his trump card and place the Chaos Sword Array to drive away the 3-tailed Scorpion Lion. Looking at how things were going, it was probably unnecessary.

The 9 Fiery Dragons roared and flew around. All of the sudden, they combined into one and turned into a sun which fell towards 3-tailed Scorpion Lion.

“Ah… Who are you exactly?”

The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion roared as the black flame surrounding it became its sole defense, like an island surrounded by the ocean.

Whoosh!

That next moment, the two raging flames intertwined, swiftly swallowing each other. The skies on both sides were completely polluted.

Countless sparks fell. The demon spirit army was composed of dead and injured bodies.

After an unknown period of time, the ground was peaceful again.

“It has escaped?”

Fang Yuan held something that looked like a scorpion’s tail and recited something under his breath.

The demon general was identical to the True Elementals and True Divines. The 3-tailed Scorpion Lion, on the other hand, was much more powerful. It was almost comparable to the 8th Tier of Illusionary Divine.

For this kind of strength, there was a price to pay.
