BXBX NOVEL Chapter 486: Retribution
"Are the glory days of dream masters over?"
With the Demonic Heart Realm snatching away the dao of dream masters and the internal pressure from the will of Da Qian, Fang Yuan was pessimistic about the future of dream masters.
In the past, dream masters had much animosity with the others and could only gain the upper hand by brute force.
Without their powers, dream masters would now be dealt with by the rest!
"Right now, I can control as much dream elemental force as a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. However, without the technique of a dream master, it will be akin to a magician not having any magic tricks. My ability will be reduced drastically and I would be as weak as when I first achieved a breakthrough into the Illusionary Divine stage! This will be the same for the other sages and they can only depend on their rich dream elemental force to maintain a cultivation level of a 5th Tier Illusionary Divine stage dream master. The normal dream masters will have it worse off as they will now be a mere normal human being!"
In the world of Da Qian, there were other paths to become supernormal.
The True Divines and True Elementals who were once treated as slaves by the dream masters would still be as powerful as they once were!
The shift of powers meant that something exciting was about to happen.
"This means that... it’s my time to shine!"
Fang Yuan disappeared in a streak of light and blocked the path of the fleeing Shang Hou. "Don’t think of leaving! Old thief, you shall die!"
If it was a few moments before when this Great Ancestor of Da Qian was still a sage, Fang Yuan would never have dreamt of doing this.
However, now was his best chance!
"Take this punch!"
With an exclamation, the Chaos Giant appeared behind his back and struck out a devastating punch. It was all out to kill the Great Ancestor of Da Qian!
’If dream masters were to really lose their status in Da Qian and even if the Great Ancestor of Da Qian were to lose his ability of Spiritual Will Steel Seal, he would still be a problem. Furthermore, he still has control over the Imperial Court! He knows a lot of secrets!’
Thoughts ran through Fang Yuan’s mind as he released all his strength.
Other dream masters froze as they witnessed this scene. ’This person must be crazy to attack a sage!’
The 4 sages of the allied forces were still able to compose themselves. However, as they became weaker, their bodies started to shake.
"Save the emperor!"
Shang Hou’s face started to twitch as his voice shook the heavens.
His magical clone was also a dream master. Although his Spiritual Will Steel Seal technique became another variant after he had become an Illusionary Divine dream master, he was still a similar dream master compared to the many others in Da Qian. Now that everything was gone, he could at most preserve his cultivation level at the 5th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. He might have the knowledge of techniques from the Demonic Heart Realm in his consciousness, there was no way he could re-cultivate all of it in an instant.
At a disadvantage, he could only forcefully receive the punch from the True Divine. His defences immediately broke through as he started to spit blood. Unwilling to give up, he relentlessly called for help.
"Old thief!!!"
The True Divines and True Elementals from the Imperial Court all gave perplexed looks.
Suddenly, a True Elemental started to holler and his voice was filled with hatred. "You killed my entire family, wiped out my people and even use your evil spells to put me under your control! I will have to take revenge today no matter what!"
"Demon Slaying, seal him off!"
With a shout, he started to manipulate the earth energy around him, transforming himself into a 6-headed demon. Mustering up all his strength, he swung black chains out of his arms, sealing of all of Shang Hou’s escape routes.
With a shriek, Shang Hou started to avoid the black chains. Although he was extremely nimble, he was still unable to escape as he ran into Fang Yuan’s fist. His chest became indented and many ribs were fractured. Blood spewed everywhere.
"Huh?"
The dream masters witnessed this scene and knew what it meant for them. However, the other True Elementals and True Divines started to think to themselves. ’Could a True Divine and a True Elemental really take down a sage? Hmm...’
Gazing at the expressions of the other dream masters, there was the chilly vibe.
"Kill!"
"Shang Hou has enslaved us for too long!"
"Kill him to take our revenge!"
...
The True Divines and True Elementals who were on the Imperial Court’s side shouted as they made their way towards the Great Ancestor of Da Qian.
Witnessing this scene, Head of Hidden Dragon Guards laughed and looked at the two beside him. "What do you guys think?"
He could feel the will of the realm over Superior Wu Zun and Qian Huanyi weakening. This proved that the will of Da Qian was desperate to wipe out all dream masters.
After all, there was no longer the threat of Prominent Divine stage dream masters. Therefore, there was no need to continue strengthening these two in maintaining their status as temporal sages.
Even so, these two people were the strongest True Divine and True Elemental of the realm, if they did not consider that other person.
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards gazed at that person in mid-air as the Chaos Giant raged on.
"Without the control, it feels like everything was just a dream!"
Superior Wu Zun spoke first. "We are passionate and yet this is how the Imperial Court treat us, hehe..."
"Lord, are you still thinking of saving that person? Cough..."
Qian Huanyi shook his head. "We have been heavily injured through all the fighting and even if we want to help, we are too weak now!"
"Sigh..."
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards let out a sigh. "It has been a thousand years since something big like this has happened. As the leader of the spiritual knights and martial artists, your actions and words will be extremely influential. It will be wise to be more cautious.
"There is still animosity between dream masters and spiritual knights and Wu Zongs. You think too much of us."
Superior Wu Zun remained silent while Qian Huanyi continued.
"In reality, this is the best time to reconcile all conflicts!"
Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards gazed towards the 4 sages and had a murderous look on his face. "These sages are responsible for the hatred between us! Kill them here and everything will be settled, wouldn’t it be? I am also a Prominent Divine stage dream master and I can tell you that as of now, all sages have lost the dream dao. They are now only as powerful as a 6th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master!"
"Hidden Dragon! Do you really want to see us being wiped from existence?"
"Those from the Evil Divine Sect, quickly protect me!"
"All dream masters, retreat!"
The 4 sages were stunned as they quickly gathered their remaining people.
Unfortunately, all the dream masters were extremely weak now and could only put up a weak resistance.
"Ah!"
A shriek was heard. It was from a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master who had the protection of a sage, which ensured his survival up to now. However, the protection was quickly taken down by a simple spiritual spell, killing the dream master inside just like that!
"Haha! The overbearing dream masters are finally getting their just desserts!"
"Head of Hidden Dragon Guards is right! This world is ours now!"
"Pui! Why are you still calling him the Head? He is a mere dog without his powers. What do we have to fear?"
Chaos!
As soon as the Demonic Heart Realm was sealed off and the will of Da Qian taking things into its own hands, there was only chaos!
All the True Divines and True Elementals in the battlefield started a killing spree against all the dream masters.
Furthermore, even the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards was being targeted.
"If the sages don’t die, we will be taken advantage of! Kill him!"
"Hmph!"
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards quickly executed a technique. "True Elemental Needle Rain!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Needles started to appear everywhere around him and their illusionary glow was mesmerising.
A True Divine shrieked as thousands of needles pierced through him, turning him into a blood mist.
"A True Elemental?"
Qian Huanyi was shocked.
"Hmph, other than pursuing the dream dao, I have once cultivated as a spiritual knight and have achieved a breakthrough to become a True Elemental. It was once a mere entertainment for me and never would I have thought that I would use it one day!"
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards scanned his surroundings. "You can kill me, but I will pull a few of you down the grave with me. Who is willing to sacrifice themselves?"
As a dream master, he was among the talented bunch of people in Da Qian and it was normal for him to have cultivation as a spiritual knight or martial artist.
Considering that the dream dao was the most powerful of them all, how many of them would be willing to be like Fang Yuan, putting in effort in both his martial arts and his cultivation as a dream master?
Unknowingly, those with cultivations as spiritual knights or martial artists were beginning to see the benefits now.
The True Divines and True Elementals of the Imperial Court were all unwilling to sacrifice themselves. Therefore, all of them left the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards alone and instead went for the 4 sages.
"Sigh... Let’s find a place to rest!"
Superior Wu Zun and Qian Huanyi exchanged glances and calmly left the battlefield.
Considering that they had fought for a long time already and they had lost the strength given to them by the realm’s will, the priority for them would be to look for a place to rest before they can plan something.
"Since the two of you are leaving, how about bringing me along?"
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards looked at them and laughed.
Although he was a True Elemental, it was still extremely dangerous for him to remain here. However, if the 3 powerful beings were to support each other, they would be able to leave easily.
"Alright!"
Superior Wu Zun and Qian Huanyi exchanged glances once again before nodding their heads.
Just as the 3 of them were on the sidelines of the battlefield, there was a huge explosion coming from another conflict.
"Ah! My true physical body will never let the few of you go!"
A voice of hatred was heard, which resembled the dying cry of a wild animal.
"It’s His Majesty, the Great Ancestor!"
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards froze in his steps.
"That person is still extremely powerful and his true physical body is too mysterious for anyone to predict. Never would I have thought that that kid would really kill his magical clone..."
Qian Huanyi shook his head but did not stop running. In an instant, the 3 of them left the battlefield.
...
"Die!"
Fang Yuan came before the bloody Shang Hou. Ignoring his cursing and his final struggle, Fang Yuan landed a heavy punch on his head.
"Chaos Divine Fist!"
In his fist, the shocking willpower of martial arts struck through Shang Hou’s consciousness, killing all hopes of survival.
"Bang!"
Even though Shang Hou might be the Great Ancestor of Da Qian, now, he was merely a dead man with a bloodied corpse too gruesome for anyone to look at.
With a single thought, Fang Yuan quickly took out his Mountain River Pearl and kept Shang Hou’s corpse in it.
"What are you doing?"
Around him, the few True Divines and True Elementals started to become hostile. "Put it down!"
After all, Shang Hou was the boss of all these and would surely have treasures on his body. How could they allow a single person to take it all away?
"You want it? Exchange it with your life!"
Fang Yuan continued to be overbearing as he forced his way out. None of them was willing to risk their lives for a reward they could not be sure of. Therefore, Fang Yuan managed to make his way towards the 4 sages.
"Li Qingmian! Give me your life!"
Behind him, the Pangu Giant roared and its power was overwhelming.
Fang Yuan had killed Shang Hou because he was a threat to the entire realm and Fang Yuan knew he could reap some rewards from Shang Hou’s corpse. However, he was looking to kill Li Qingmian now purely for revenge!
He could finally avenge Master Heartless today!
