Chapter 774: Breakout
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Black Source Pearl was an exotic treasure of origin power. It was something that was snatched by Heavenly Consort Yun Xiang from external realms after painstaking effort to break the seal on Demon God Ancient Netherworld.
After Fang Yuan had refined and secretly employed some methods, he could slightly sense the seal on Demon God Ancient Netherworld.
At this moment, it started to vibrate. Undoubtedly, this meant that something unpleasant was happening.
“Demon God Ancient Netherworld… has escaped!”
He was slightly stunned, but not too astonished.
After all, he could not control everything.
Encountering two invasions by the Mental Demon Realm, the trap by the Heavenly Court, and the massive array created by the combined efforts of many Gods and Emperors, a mere Demon Master would not be able to do everything flawlessly.
“Once Ancient Netherworld escapes the seal, there’ll be gaps in the Heavenly Court’s ambush… Of course, what is most important is that he may not let me go!”
As for the credibility of this Demon God, Fang Yuan did not have any hopes for it.
Not to mention, he had ruthlessly taken away something from him previously. Even if they were to work together in the slightest sense, they would always be trying to cheat and deceive each other.
It was completely within reasonable expectations if any party were to backstab the other.
“One sentence can determine if we’re enemies or allies!”
At this time, a chaos illusion appeared behind him and coldly gazed at the few Demon Masters facing him.
“Dream Demon… You!”
The Hydra shot out looks of hatred from all eighteen of his eyes. He suddenly opened his mouth, and two purple stars flew toward Fang Yuan.
Evidently, these Demon Masters did not dare continue their internal strife.
“Very well… Dream Demon, this is your decision!”
“I hope that next time, we won’t become enemies!”
The two heads of the crow muttered as they also surrendered their origin power.
To them, although origin power was something good, it still needed a long time to refine. During this life-and-death crisis, they naturally did not have much time.
“If you can’t bring us along to leave this place… Even if I’m annihilated by the Gods of the Heavenly Court, I’ll still kill you!”
Erag’s voice was harsh and sounded like she was cursing him.
An ordinary person would be possessed by a curse after seeing her body and hearing her voice, even if it was done unintentionally, and would die a horrible death.
“No problem!”
With a gulp, Fang Yuan swallowed the drops of origin power and had an inexplicable feeling of satisfaction. “Truly… amazing. What a great success!”
This time, he came to the Mental Demon Battlefield only wanting to devour some origin power to enhance his Demon Master realm.
At the moment, not only had he obtained the path beyond Demon Master, he had even obtained the Mental Demon realm traversing technique. He was also able to devour a lot of origin power, and this could totally be considered a landslide victory for him.
He transferred the power of creation together with the Black Source Pearl and crazily refined the origin power.
There are a total of nine drops of origin power here. In addition to the ones from Kun Ang, Green Damask, and my own, there are thirteen drops of origin power!
Although there was no mistake in his calculation, Fang Yuan realized that he had not reached the 13-Essence Demon Master realm.
Furthermore, he did not even reach 10-Essence Demon Master.
It seemed as if there was a huge chasm in front of him.
“Among Demon Masters, it is indeed separated into various ranks, just like how there are Dukes and Kings within Ancient Gods.”
Fang Yuan had some comprehensions in his mind, becoming more excited.
After ascending to 9-Essence Demon Master, he already seemed able to see his own ‘Dao’ agglomerating.
These were all of his insights, containing a sense of creation and endlessness. They were like faintly discernible wisps of mist that would disappear in the next instant.
“The Dao of Dream Master! The Dao of Creation!” Fang Yuan was lost in thought. “The moment my Dao is thoroughly consolidated to completion, I can break through to Demon God!
“The higher the level of a Demon Master, the more likely they’ll sense their own ‘Dao path’! Of course, they need to painstakingly cultivate to successfully form the Dao of Creation. But how difficult is that? Hence… they must plunder the myriad worlds!”
Fang Yuan could somewhat understand why the Mental Demon Realm was so frenzied previously. On the one hand, the world was forced to and it was involuntary; on the other hand, it was a requirement for it itself to be promoted.
“Dream Masters bring major harm to everything under the heavens, while Demon Spirits bring death to worlds and planes!”
Fang Yuan sighed and looked at the Ancient Gods who were surrounding them. “War King, you aren’t worthy of being my opponent!”
“Arrogant!”
The acupoints on the War King’s entire body opened up and countless Gods, Immortals, and Buddhas appeared. In unison, they chanted incantations that solidified on his body, as if they were forming a golden kasaya.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan merely raised his palm and slapped.
Smack!
How huge was the Chaos Giant that he had morphed into?
With just a light slap, this Ancient God titled by the Heavenly Court crashed onto the ground like a meteor.
The power of 9-Essence was equivalent to the combined offensive strength of nine average Demon Masters merged into one, making it more horrifying.
The War King had been instantly slapped into the ground. Innumerable cracks appeared around his acupoints like spiderwebs.
“Ah!”
“Damn it!”
“Killing Destruction Wolf!”
The expressions of the other three Ancient Gods changed as they acted together.
Three rays of stellar power containing Malignant Qi condensed together and immediately formed a black wolf with a horrifying aura.
Killing Destruction Wolf!
With three malignant stars such as Seven Killings, Destruction, and Greedy Wolf as the basis, the array formed was able to accumulate all of the powers of the three Stellar Ancient Gods and could not be blocked by anyone.
These three Stellar Gods were the oldest Gods. During times of turmoil, they invested in many seeds, and their harvests were also quite bountiful.
Right now, their extent of power with the world’s natural source was each equivalent to a 3-Essence Demon Master.
With their combined strength, they were comparable to a 7-Essence or 8-Essence Demon Master.
The giant black wolf roared. With red eyes, it directly charged at Fang Yuan.
“Killing Destruction Wolf!?”
Fang Yuan was unconcerned and grabbed with his hand.
Each of his fingers seemed to transform into heaven reaching sword pillars that contained incomparably sharp Sword Qi.
Bang! Bang!
The Creation Sword Array appeared, and the unparalleled Malignant Qi of the stellar power giant wolf incarnation was slowly worn down after entering the sword array.
“This Demon… is horrifying!”
The three Stellar Masters—Seven Killings, Destruction, and Greedy Wolf—had a look of fear appear on their faces.
“With the Five Elements combined and the chaos of the Four Symbols, Creation Divine Fist!”
Purple lines continuously spread on Fang Yuan’s body as his aura ascended to its pinnacle. He violently punched the Massive Stellar Array sealing the Demon Masters.
Rumble!
An immensely huge fist imprint appeared on the stellar power brilliance as the radiance of the surrounding stars darkened.
Many cracks spread, and even space was about to shatter and reveal chaos.
But the next instant, starlight converged and rapidly repaired the damage caused by this blow.
“It’s no use. Without becoming a Demon God, don’t ever think about breaking this Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array!”
The War King awkwardly got up from underground. His crown had exploded, and he had a sinister look. “After the Celestial Thearch suppresses those Demon Gods, all of you will die here without a burial!”
The Celestial Thearch had united with Excellency Mount Mang and had the assistance of another three Zenith Heavens.
No matter what, it was impossible for there to be any twists and turns when dealing with three Demon Gods.
Nearly all of the Stellar Gods were this confident.
“Is it?”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan suddenly grinned, revealing a mysterious smile.
Crack! Crack!
At the location where he punched, cracks spread to a void.
“That’s… the Mental Demon channel?!”
The faces of the three Stellar Masters—Seven Killings, Destruction, and Greedy Wolf—drastically changed.
Soon after, they saw with astonishment that traces of brilliance were emitting from the channel.
Fang Yuan’s punch actually seemed to have struck something important, causing this channel to be unsealed and start operating on its own.
Whoosh!
Mental Demon power gushed down like a waterfall. Shortly, a pair of large crimson red hands appeared. “Even the separation of planes can’t block me!!!”
Thump!
With attacks from both inside and outside, the originally flawless Massive Stellar Array suddenly became stagnant.
“Now!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up as a fist landed on the barrier of the Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array.
Thump!
This time, there was no more starlight appearing to repair it, and a huge breach appeared.
Fang Yuan transformed into a beam of rainbow light, rapidly passing through this breach and flying out of the array. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.
“The array’s been destroyed?”
“A breach has appeared… quickly run!”
Although they saw more elders coming over from the Mental Demon Realm, the Demon Masters like Erag had to leave without the slightest hesitation.
They faintly discovered that their previous plan had been basically exploited.
Without mentioning the Demon Gods from the Mental Demon Realm, just the Heavenly Court itself had arranged a trap.
At this time, they truly did not dare to stay behind and continue gambling because they were afraid!
“Hmm? The seal on the channel has been broken!”
At this moment, in another area of the battlefield isolated from the two worlds, the figure of Excellency Mount Mang commanding all mountains appeared as he looked at the channel. An immensely huge figure frowned as he pushed with his right hand.
“Excellency Mount Mang…”
A surge of massive invisible power immediately landed on the channel, pushing back the unwilling existence.
“Suppress!”
Excellency Mount Mang went above the channel and pressed down with a single hand.
Kaboom!
Earthly energy billowed, as if numerous Spiritual Realm mountains converged and transformed into a palm that tightly blocked off the channel.
Seeing this, Excellency Mount Mang was worried instead of pleased.
“This Mental Demon channel has already been modified so that it’s initiated with the other side channeling power over. This is somewhat troublesome…”
A channel that could transfer Demon Gods over was naturally unachievable by the sacrificial offerings of the Demon Masters earlier.
In fact, everything they had done was just to provide a beacon.
After that, it was the Demon Gods of the Mental Demon Realm who had completed opening the channel and maintained the energy.
Furthermore, perhaps the Mental Demon Realm itself had assisted.
Thus, this channel was very stable. Even if an Emperor wanted to destroy it, time was needed.
And what the Heavenly Court lacked at this moment was time!
In particular, the absence of Excellency Mount Mang had created a slight change to the war situation, which originally had a high chance of success.
“It’s fine. Right now, the most important thing is to seal the channel!”
Excellency Mount Mang looked at the direction of the few Demon Masters desperately escaping and shook his head.
If it was a complete Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array, how could it have been breached by a Demon Master? But at this moment, the Celestial Thearch had already borrowed a huge portion of the array’s power, thereby leading to such unfortunate consequences.
Nevertheless, what he did not know was…
Just as Excellency Mount Mang was busy suppressing and closing the Mental Demon channel…
A young Demon God had already brought Demon Masters Yin and Yang and approached near the battlefield.
“Two Emperors, three Zenith Heavens, what a big move…”
This Demon God had the appearance of a teenager and was somewhat similar to the previous mischievous lad—it was Demon God Li Hen!
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back and coldly smiled. “Unfortunately… everything is destined to fail!”
The next instant, he flagrantly acted with world-shaking Demonic Qi!
