Carefree Path of Dreams

"I thought the witches were reckless and simple-minded people. Who would have thought there would be smart ones among them that thought ahead and thought about their future?"

Fang Yuan walked out of the forest and applauded. "Don’t go about looking for the priests. I have already dealt with them!"

The other dream masters hid as soon as they realised that the powerful dream masters were fighting against one another. None of them would have imagined Fang Yuan would be so daring to leave the city and enter the enemy’s territory.

Therefore, Fang Yuan managed to obtain a great opportunity.

If the demise of Xing was Army Leader Chi’s plan to revive, what would it mean for Xing to become a leader?

"Is the ability to split one’s head and body a witchcraft ability?"

Fang Yuan waved his hands and 4 magical swords appeared. Harnessing the power of water, fire, wind and thunder, he quickly captured Xing within.

"Your original form is indeed powerful. However, in order to let Chi revive, you had to sacrifice a huge amount of energy and use up your magical bloodline to execute the revival technique. How much do you have left in you?"

Without hesitation, he released his most powerful 4 Emblems Sword Array as he wanted his enemy to lose all hope of winning and end the fight as quickly as possible.

"Master has instructed us to kill the witches!"

The 4 magical swords had spirituality and their concentrated sword essences gathered in the centre.

Furthermore, it felt like an entire realm on its own as it started to constrict.

"Is this... another realm? No, this is just a miniature version of another realm!"

Seeing this, Xing exclaimed loudly. "If my original body was still here, I can turn you into a pile of bloodied meat with a swing of my axe. Who are you, you despicable foreign demon?"

"I am... Yuan! However, don’t bother remembering my name, for a dead person does not need to know all these! 4 Emblems Sword Array, kill!"

The completed 4 Emblems Sword Array could form a miniature version of a realm and was vastly different from other arrays.

This was the secret of the 8 Gates Sword Array. If dream masters from the main world were to see it, they would be able to identify it.

However, Xing was a native of the Ancient Realm and could never spread this piece of information out.

"Chi! Chi!"

Red, blue, purple and green streaks of light gathered. With the power of the different elements, a huge net was formed, covering all possible escape routes.

"Oh, so you’re Yuan!"

Xing roared as he smashed his fists outwards.

"Buzz!"

The entire array shook, but the net formed from sword essence continued to float towards him.

"Chi!"

Xing quickly retreated and realised that his fists were full of blood. His eyes turned bloodshot. "I hate this! Foreign demon, you will get your retribution!"

"You speak too much nonsense! Die!"

With his thoughts, Fang Yuan fused the net on Xing, resulting in a fog of blood spewing out.

This fog of blood was extremely concentrated and had a black hue. In it, there seemed to be countless faces of witches cursing and struggling.

"Purify!"

Seeing what Xing did previously, Fang Yuan was still a little fearful of the Revival Technique. Therefore, he commanded the array to turn into flames and purify Xing’s blood.

"I’m afraid that Xing is not even 1% of what he used to be. However, his physical body is still here. The fact that the 4 Emblems Sword Array is able to kill him means that there is no doubt about its power!"

Fang Yuan had a look of satisfaction on his face. The flames raged on as he finally purified the last drop of blood and grieving soul from Xing’s body.

Finally, all that was left was a drop of blood essence. Like an earthworm, it started to wriggle with spirituality.

"It is indeed the blood of a powerful being to be able to survive all this. However, none of this would matter! Thunder Sword!"

Within the 4 Emblems Sword Array, Fang Yuan was God!

With the wave of his hand, the Thunder Sword appeared in his hands and was shimmering.

"Ah!!!"

A vengeful shriek was heard, which even shook Fang Yuan.

This was all that was left of Xing in this realm, and yet it was destroyed by Fang Yuan.

Without a consciousness, the drop of blood finally stopped moving. It was completely purified and was now a drop of dull-red blood crystal.

"Although Xi had given me a drop of blood from a powerful witch before, that was nothing compared to this!"

Fang Yuan had a look of happiness on his face. Suddenly, his hair stood on end.

Being decisive, he kept the sword array and quickly left.

"This is..."

He could feel a sense of worry in him, which was a familiar feeling. "Is this how the realm discriminates against us? Even the 9 Cauldrons of the people dao cannot overpower it?"

Dream masters were ultimately people from the outside world. This was similar to the previous Hui Realm and Water Realm. If one were to go against the heavens, there would be tribulations!

There were exceptions in the Ancient Realm due to the fact that the Realm Alliance had control over the people dao and could manage it using the 9 Cauldrons!

Now, the 9 Cauldrons were no longer in power and it was a fact that Fang Yuan had destroyed the bloodline of a witch. This was the backlash that he was about to experience!

"Could there be heavenly streaks of lightning?"

Fang Yuan gazed up at the cloudy sky and was feeling extremely tensed up.

After he left, peace was restored in the mountains.

A few moments later, a few streaks of light flew into the mountains. There were a few exclamations and their voices were filled with hatred and despair.

...

On Fang Mountain.

Wei strapped a bow behind her back and as she was patrolling, she kicked a piece of rock. "D*mn you, Yuan... Don’t you know how I feel towards you? Why did you not bring me along! Please, let nothing bad happen to you!"

Thoughts ran wild in her mind. Suddenly, a black shadow flew across her head.

"Lord Wei!"

The warriors around her exclaimed. "These are the mysterious beasts from the Secluded Capital Mountain. They’re here once more!"

Although the name of the mountain had long been changed, they were still more used to its old name.

"I see it!"

The black shadow was a huge black bird. It resembled a phoenix and had a long tail and was covered in golden-black feathers. Wei adored it the moment she saw it. "This is my prey!"

Without thinking, she pulled her bow and fired an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

Her archery skills were impressive all along. Now that she was equipped with the best bow of the Xia Tribe, she was even more accurate and deadly than before. Regardless, with the flap of its wings, the bird was able to avoid the arrow.

Startled, the black bird did not dare to linger around any longer and flew straight towards Fang Mountain.

"After it!"

Without thinking, Wei chased it into Fang mountain. "I want to gather its feathers and give it to Yuan as his victory gift!"

She was extremely fast. In a few moments, the warriors behind her could no longer catch up as she entered the depths of the mountains.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Following the high-pitched chirping of the bird, Wei bashed her way through the dense vegetation and soon arrived at a cliff.

As soon as she arrived, she could see the bird lying on the ground. Seeing her arrival, the bird quickly spread its wings and flew into the sky. In a moment, it became a black dot and disappeared.

On the ground where it once laid, there was a huge and round egg. There was still steam coming from the egg.

"This egg..."

Wei took a step forward and knocked the egg with her knuckles. There was a look of suspicion in her eyes. "... it’s edible, right?"

...

"Eh? What happened?"

Fang Yuan made his way to Yang City. In that instant, the feeling of worry which was bugging him was gone.

Not just that, he felt as though he was integrated into the world.

’This feeling... it is similar to how I used Realm Evidence to enter the Water Realm previously. However, I can feel it more this time... Has this realm completely accepted me?’

Fang Yuan remained stunned as thoughts ran through his mind. ’Could it be... that the prayers of my tribe are working? That my division has the blessing of the heavens?’

At this point in time, there were a few developments on the battlefield.

Above the battlefield, there was a huge sun. Beneath it, there was a huge green wooden trunk which rose towards the sky.

By combining forces, the 2 powerful dream masters finally managed to contain the energy of the 9 Regions’ soldiers. Even Army Leader Chi’s voice was starting to soften.

"You have killed so many young people... and now you still want to make so much noise? Jiu Yinzi, how would you like to die?"

From the fiery dragon next to him came the mocking voice of Elder Smelter.

"I want to see all of you dead! Keke..."

Jiu Yinzi, in the form of a Torch Dragon, gave a sinister laugh.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling noise. The earth gave way and a headless illusionary figure covered in wounds appeared from a glow.

"Kill!"

Xi Chen exchanged glances with Green Wood before channelling their power to oppose Chi’s body.

Whoosh!"

The witchcraft dao Divine Body of Chi immediately cracked. The skies started to rain blood, and a fresh-red heart suddenly appeared in mid-air, pounding with life.

"Roar! Roar!"

As the clouds gave way, the ferocious-looking head of a leader appeared.

The heart started to combine with the head. Blood started to spew everywhere as a huge body was being formed.

"I am Chi! I am invincible!"

A strong spiritual will was felt from his body. "Every death I undergo will only strengthen me!"

"We must kill him for good!"

Two strong forces started to pound towards Chi, but they were held back by layers of black fog.

Xi Chen looked at Green Wood once more and had a worried look on his face. "Has his power as a witch increased once more? Could he really absorb vengeance from the realm just before his death?"

"Hiss! Hiss!"

At this point in time, from the riverbed of Yang River, a long and slithering silhouette appeared.

"Whoosh!"

As a splash emerged from the river, a huge demon was revealed.

This was a snake demon. However, it had 9 heads and each of its head had corrosive and poisonous venom.

With the flick of its tail, the seal formed by the Swelling Earth immediately shattered.

"Rumble!"

As soon as the seal broke, terrifying waves of the river crashed out, smashing into the already weakened city walls.

"Bang!"

The entire wall cracked as the river water started to flood into Yang City mercilessly, carrying with it everything that was in its way.

Against such a calamity, normal warriors stood no chance and were all killed, regardless if they were from Xia Tribe or Jiuli Tribe.

"It’s Xiang Liu!"

The powerful dream masters of Realm Alliance heaved a sigh of relief. "This is not its actual soul and therefore, its powers are limited!"

"Hiss! Hiss! Burn the demonic body to deliver one single powerful blow!"

At this point in time, there was a mysterious glow on the 9 heads of Xiang Liu. As the blood in its body burned, waves of energy started to spread. "Venerable elders, I am here to help you!"

At that moment, the green sun exploded towards Chi, who was forming the Divine Body!

Even though Chi was becoming increasingly powerful, against the 3 powerful dream masters, the black fog around him gave way, revealing his true body.

"Chi!"

Blood spewed everywhere as the green sun exploded towards Chi’s body. It imprinted black runes on his body, which gave off a mysterious vibe.

"Never trust them! They are demons from the outside world!"

Chi raged angrily.

"Haha.... It’s too late. You would truly die once we destroy your witch bloodline. I wonder how will the world change if we were to offer you as a piece of offering to the heavens?"

Xiang Liu laughed before collapsing and losing its breath.
