Chapter 2481: Chapter 2449: Xuan Zang

"Crack crack crack!!"

Around the Fourth Layer of the Dreamfall Battlefield, clear Black cracks began to appear one after another.

That was the omen that the entire Dreamfall Battlefield was about to collapse.

But very soon, as strands of strange Energy spread out, those cracks started rapidly mending themselves.

The Dreamfall Battlefield was mysterious and powerful, and just as the legends of Jiankong Realm said over the years, there really were Dao Saints who had chosen to stay in the Dreamfall Battlefield.

You couldn’t exactly say they were dead, but they weren’t much different from Death.

They had merged themselves into the Dreamfall Battlefield.

Their Cultivation, Divine Soul, and even everything at the level of the Universe were handed over to the Dreamfall Battlefield.

And for themselves, they only made one very simple request.

Let them return to that most beautiful period of their lives.

In this world, many people bury their heads and push forward, but only after they’ve gone very far do they realize that the most beautiful times were actually those bygone days they can never return to.

And just like that, the Dreamfall Battlefield gained the Power of several Dao Saint experts as its source.

Although this Power wasn’t enough to resist mighty enemies, thanks to the special nature of the Dreamfall Battlefield, it provided ample Energy for the Battlefield’s self-repair.

Borrowing this Energy, the youth silently began repairing his own home.

To him, this place was his home.

So even if he had to use some disgraceful methods, he would still find a way to protect his home.

But when the youth saw Mie Xing, who should’ve been annihilated in Death, actually stand up again, his face instantly went deathly pale.

In Li Chen’s eyes, in the eyes of the Seven Realms Tome, Red Moon, and even a powerful Dao Saint like Mie Xing, the youth was a deep and unfathomably powerful existence. Yet when Mie Xing stood up again, the youth understood even more clearly what kind of existence he had encountered.

"So it’s you." ’Mie Xing’ twisted his neck, and his eyes had already turned into a strange, pure Black, with no distinction between pupil and sclera—there was only the purest Black.

"You insects, back then it was one thing for you to flee from the Sea of Realms; this seat originally didn’t intend to pursue you any further. I didn’t expect that today you’d dare ruin this seat’s plans again?" The corners of ’Mie Xing’s’ mouth curled into a wicked smile.

"You... you’re Xuan Zang?!"

"Hm?" ’Mie Xing’ gave the youth a somewhat odd look, then shook his head and said, "I even thought you were really Hong, but it turns out you’re just a You Hun awakened from a corpse."

"Heh." ’Mie Xing’ suddenly laughed. "I was just saying, how could that idiot Hong still be alive? Back then, when you lot took advantage of my duel with Dao Yi, not only did you not lift a finger, you even tried to sneak away. Even though this seat was busy fighting Dao Yi to the Death and had no time to bother with you, I still casually threw four or five Universes your way. If I remember right, it should’ve been that idiot Hong standing at the very back, right? Hahaha! Truly stupid. Four or five Universes detonating at the same time—if trash like that survived, now that would be the real miracle!"

"You... you!!"

The youth’s whole body was trembling violently, yet his face was deathly pale and he didn’t dare move at all.

Because he probably understood better than anyone just how terrifying this guy who should originally be called ’Xuan Zang’ really was!!

In that unimaginably ancient era, he was one of the sources that destroyed the Great Boundary Sea!!

"How can you still be alive?!!" The youth let out a shrill cry of disbelief.

"Hmph!" The man who should more properly be called Xuan Zang let out a cold laugh. "How could this seat possibly die? Even if Wan Shi rot away and everything in existence turns to Nihility, this seat will not dissipate!"

"Back then, perhaps Dao Yi could still barely contend against this seat, but now, this seat is the one and only in all Eternity!" Xuan Zang said proudly.

"No... impossible..." The youth staggered and collapsed onto the ground, his gaze dull as he muttered, "Impossible... A battle in the Eighth Dimension is enough to kill all causality that exists across every Time dimension. You should have been annihilated together with Dao Yi in all Space-Time. How could this... how is this possible?"

"Nothing impossible about it!" Xuan Zang said coldly. "This seat has now returned, while Dao Yi is utterly dead. That is the truth!"

"Now, surrender your true body as my first tribute upon returning. Perhaps this seat might consider letting your lowly You Hun continue to exist." Looking at the youth with indifferent eyes, Xuan Zang spoke calmly.

"No... that’s not right!"

All of a sudden, the youth’s gaze flashed and he sprang to his feet.

"You’re already dead! You’re not Xuan Zang! Xuan Zang can’t possibly still be alive. You... who the hell are you?!"

Hearing the youth’s words, Xuan Zang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Not bad, your perception. That guy Hong might’ve been a bit stupid, but his eyes were notoriously sharp in the Sea of Realms. I didn’t expect a little You Hun like you to have that kind of discernment as well."

"But you’ve misunderstood one thing!" Xuan Zang said in a sinister voice. "This seat is indeed already dead, but will very soon resurrect and return. That’s why I’m giving you a chance to pledge yourself. Otherwise, you can die together with those insects of the Sea of Realms from back then!"

"I..."

"Crack!!!"

A streak of blood-colored light abruptly appeared at Xuan Zang’s back. At that critical instant, Xuan Zang twisted his body in an extremely eerie way.

Even though that blood-red light missed the decapitation strike, it still slashed across his back.

The flash of blood directly shattered the spine behind Xuan Zang, kicking up a spray of blood mist which was then greedily sucked into the body of a blood-robed youth.

Before Xuan Zang could retreat far, another beam of light suddenly appeared at the back of his head, smashing brutally into his skull. A huge spray of blood burst out, and under the tremendous impact, Xuan Zang’s body was sent flying.

"What bullshit ’one and only in all Eternity’—still got your head blown off by your Book Grandpa, didn’t you?" A somewhat hazy face appeared on the cover of the Seven Realms Tome, spitting a mouthful of who-knows-where-it-came-from saliva as it cursed.

Red Moon stretched out a finger and tapped it, her little face full of seriousness. Under the youth’s wide-eyed stare, she enunciated word by word: "Putting! On! A! Show!"

"Pft!" The Seven Realms Tome spat another mouthful of saliva, then hurriedly coughed and said in a low voice, "Little Hong Yue, let’s discuss something. Can you not curse people so solemnly from now on? You’ll piss them to Death."

"I’m just telling the truth." Red Moon blinked her big, crystal-clear eyes as she spoke.

"The truth is even more infuriating." The Seven Realms Tome jerked its chin toward the direction Xuan Zang had been blasted away. "Look, that guy’s hair is about to explode from rage."

In the distance, Xuan Zang’s head of gray hair was standing on end as he rose into the air...

"Today, all of you are going to die. No one can save you!!"

"No, no, no." Right then, another voice suddenly rang out.

"I’m guessing none of them are dying today."

In front of Xuan Zang, a space gate suddenly opened, and just as Xuan Zang was wondering who it could be... a shoe flew out from within.

With a "smack," the sole of the shoe hit Xuan Zang square in the face while he was still pondering.

"Aaaahhhhhhh!!!" Xuan Zang almost went insane.

The Seven Realms Tome floated to the side of the youth who was completely stunned, the face on its cover full of expression as it said, "See that? That’s called ’hair standing on end from rage.’ Tsk tsk, look at that hair—each strand standing straight up. Isn’t it spectacular?"
