Carefree Path of Dreams Chapter 482: Demonic Shadow

Chapter 482: Demonic Shadow
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
How big would a force need to be to be able to break through dimensions in order to allow two realms to collide?
Even at the sidelines where Fang Yuan had already started to distance himself from the epicentre, he felt like a small boat riding a tsunami. Many others around him were already severely injured by the violet storm happening in the space around them as they spat out mouthfuls of blood.
"Ruthless!"
He quickly retreated away as thoughts flooded his mind. "The sacrifice of 8 powerful beings and using a true dragon as a bait will bring the power of the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array to the side of the allied forces..."
This diversion technique was indeed well thought out.
After making his way out of the path of destruction, Fang Yuan finally turned around and could only see a hue of violet on the ground behind.
The 30,000 strong army, together with Shi Longtu had already ceased to exist.
A hundred-mile radius from where everything happened, the ground was being pulled apart by a mysterious force.
It would be expected for normal human beings to die under such circumstances. However, many elementary dream masters or even some powerful beings were not able to escape as well. Under such an all-round attack, they could only accept their fate and simply die as though they were grass being cut.
In order to achieve their objective, the remnants of vibration were enough to wipe out half of the Jade Capital.
The mere activation of the array had resulted in the destruction of 10,000 soldiers, 1,000,000 civilians and even a 10 powerful dream masters of the Realm Alliance! All the low-tiered dream masters were long dead!
This was too much of a price to pay!
In the history of the war between the Imperial Court and the allied forces, none of the conflicts even came close to an outcome like that, with such an unbelievably high casualty rate.
"The power of the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array comes from the collision of the 2 realms. If Sages were to receive the blow directly, they would also be severely injured... If any powerful being were to remain in the epicentre of the collision, they will have no chance of survival..."
Fang Yuan flew up into the sky and looked down upon the Jade Capital.
Everywhere was a brilliant violet hue and the ground started to turn dark red. The rocks were slowly being melted into magma and were flowing about.
The 6 earth dragons coiled up on the ground, revealing an array which resembled the skeleton of a dragon.
Coming together with the black hole in mid-air, a huge Bone Door appeared!
This was the true gate between the realms, created from true bones and formed from the blood and flesh of the sacrificed powerful beings! Linking Da Qian with the Dream Realm, it had unbelievable power!
"Buzz! Buzz!"
A white light flashed by and the 5 sages appeared. The space before them opened up, revealing a few lucky survivors.
During the collision, due to the fact that the 5 Sages had the control over the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array, they were able to ensure their own survival as well as protect a few of their beloved disciples.
However, that was all they could do.
Compared to before, what was left of the originally strong dream masters allied forces were but a few lone survivals.
"Haha! How's that?"
Shang Hou stood behind the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards and the 2 other powerful beings as he laughed heartily. "Don't you want to open up the passage to the Dream Master's Realm? I have helped you with that and there's no need to thank me!"
The sages and powerful beings no longer paid any attention to his sarcastic remarks.
With a creak, a slit appeared on the Bone Door.
The Dream Master's Realm which they had always been after was finally here!
"You have finally descended, Dream Master's Realm!"
Evil Divine gazed at the Bone Door. His eyes were filled with a burning fire of passion. On the other hand, Lord Yin appeared uneasy.
"Shang Hou is crazy and unpredictable. Now that he has helped us complete our array, I'm afraid..."
Just as Sage Baize completed his sentence, the Bone Door opened all of a sudden and a bright glow started to spill out of the door.
"Rumble!"
Silvery dream elemental force overflowed into Da Qian. This was a rite of passage for all realms who had opened the passage to the Demonic Heart Realm.
This gate was not just an energy passage, but a door capable of allowing physical objects to transcend dimensions!
"Ah!"
In that instant, a few 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters shrieked.
The dream elemental force from a higher dimension forcefully flowed into their bodies, forcing out the original dream elemental force in them.
Although they would be able to achieve a peak in cultivation after accepting the pure dream elemental force, they were now in extreme pain as though they were being haunted by something in their minds.
Fortunately, those who survived the war moments ago were the true highly skilled ones. If any low-tiered dream masters were here, they might go crazy or even get possessed by the Demonic Heart Realm after being overwhelmed by the pure dream elemental force.
"Kill!"
Taking this opportunity, the highly skilled people of the Imperial Court shouted as they advanced.
These were all True Divines and True Elementals, natives of Da Qian. Therefore, they were unaffected by the overflowing dream elemental force. Up against the 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters who were still being overwhelmed by the dream elemental force, it was a much simpler task to take them out. Another round of killing ensued.
"Is this true pure dream elemental force?"
The 5 Sages took in deep breaths and forced their spiritual auras to adapt. In an instant, the entire process was completed for them. Within moments, they were up against 4 other sages.
At this point in time, Shang Hou was also greedily absorbing the dream elemental force as he forcefully attempted to reduce his age. Within moments, he became a middle-aged man full of energy. "Since the Demonic Heart Realm is now open, all of you are criminals of the realm! Killing all of you will only be just!"
"This is not right!"
Sage Baize gazed towards Head of Hidden Dragon Guards and Shang Hou with a hint of fear in his eyes. "You are already aware of all these!"
At this point in time, all dream masters from Da Qian had to undergo a process of change in their bodies to adapt to the pure dream elemental force and this applied to sages as well. The hollows of the 5 Sages started to appear unstable.
However, on the other side, Shang Hou appeared adapted and something was not right.
"Great Ancestor of Da Qian has always been a mystery to us. Even after our in-depth investigations, we are still not able to find out everything about him..."
Lord Yin interrupted. "Looking at how things are now, you seem to originate from this Dream Master's Realm, the Demonic Heart Realm!"
"Keke... Although the Divine Lotus Cult is filled with a bunch of stupid ladies, I'm surprised that you are a smart lady, Lord Yin!"
Gazing at the Bone Door, Shang Hou revealed a perplexed expression.
It seemed as though he was reminiscing, hating and even fearing what was behind the door.
"That's right. Since all of you can traverse to different worlds, why can't I do the same?"
Shang Hou admitted to his identity as a foreigner. "However, the Demonic Heart Realm is not a kind-loving realm as you would expect. Only a bunch of fools like you guys will go all out after it... Hehe, if you continue to allow this Bone Door to open, I'm afraid the entire Da Qian will soon become a living hell."
With the wave of his hands, the 4 sages started to attack from all directions.
The 5 Sages from the allied forces bellowed as they revealed each of their hollows to create resistance.
However, at this point in time, the crystal walls of the hollows started to crumble. The dim and silvery pure dream elemental force started to seep in and the 5 hollows started to weaken.
"Keke!"
"Haha!"
The Bone Door hollered once more before releasing billions of spiritual bodies into Da Qian.
These spiritual bodies were like locusts. As soon as they entered the realm, they started to screech and fly in all directions.
"This is the You Spirit. It is not a strong spirit but is known as the Demonic Heart in most other realms. This is because it is able to possess other living things, absorb their energy and cause it to mutate... Although it begins as small, it is the source of mutating! Can you see the excitement in them? This is because they finally have a huge realm in which they can start their killing spree."
Shang Hou spoke with a reminiscent tone.
"Since you know that the realm will be turned into a living hell after opening the Bone Door, why are you still doing it?"
12 huge demonic illusionary shadows started to appear around The Ancient One. Every shadow had the cultivation level of a powerful being as they gathered to form an array, protecting him in within. "Are you thinking of returning to the Demonic Heart Realm. After sacrificing an entire world, the Demonic Realm will surely adore you and reward you with whatever you want! All that we have done is actually in your favour!"
"That's right... so what?"
Shang Hou laughed. "I don't want to be the adored by the Demonic Heart Realm!"
"Rumble!"
The Bone Door hollered for the third time.
The space around the door shattered, releasing a fearful spiritual aura.
A huge shadow appeared on the other side of the door as though it was attempting to break through the space to enter Da Qian.
Just its spiritual aura was enough to strike fear in the hearts of all the sages around, as though they were now up against their nemesis. "This... this is..."
"This is my original form. Are you shocked?"
Shang Hou stood before the Bone Door and scanned around, unsatisfied. "You 5 are merely frogs in a well and you still dare to call yourselves sages! Keke... a powerful being with the power to create worlds? Do you think you understand all of these? You are merely a little unique and were lucky enough to ride the waves of power from the Demonic Heart Realm."
"Roar! Roar!"
The huge black silhouette on the other side started to force itself through and even the Bone Door started to crack.
"You are not attempting to return to the Demonic Heart Realm, but escape from there!"
Sage Baize seemed to have understood it. You are now a mere magical clone and are interested in Da Qian. Therefore, you want to completely leave the Demonic Heart Realm, bringing along your true body with you!"
"That's right!"
Shang Hou smiled. "Now that the few of you have given up this world and since I am its only protector, it can only choose me! I'll have to thank the few of you for this!"
The few sages from the allied forces appeared devastated.
All the while, they had wrongly thought that the Imperial Court was in the way of the dream masters, preventing the dream masters from finding the Demonic Heart Realm.
Never would they have thought that they were just looking at things on the surface.
In fact, every single action of their's was already part of Shang Hou's plan. This time, they had failed miserably!
"The Demonic Heart Realm is not someplace you would want to live in. I never wanted to stay there..."
Looking at his physical body slowly making its way into Da Qian, Shang Hou could not hold back. "... Afterwards, I have created a magical clone which was being brought away by the currents during a war in the Demonic Heart Realm. I had lost all hope but never would I have thought that I would be able to find such a perfect realm... When my physical body arrives, I will destroy the Bone Door and separate the two worlds! After the purification of dream elemental forces and the alterations done by the Demonic Heart Realm, the realm of Da Qian is now extremely suitable for me to live in, and it now has everything the Demonic Heart Realm has to offer. Hehe... this is great!"
"Rumble!"
Everything shook.
Just as the black silhouette was continuously trying to break through the Bone Door, in the Demonic Heart Realm, an invisible force seemed to be pulling the silhouette back. A dark-red streak of lightning struck on the Bone Door, turning it into powder.
"Indeed..."
Witnessing this scene, Shang Hou remained composed. "I need to provide enough sacrifices before they will let me go!"
