Chapter 326: Evil Force

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

”There’s something with me that attracts you?”

Fang Yuan’s expression changed as he summoned, ”3 Talents Sword Array, arise!”

”Chi! Chi!”

The water, fire and thunder swords emerged as a sword array was summoned within the 4 Evils Ultimate Array.

The sword essence was piercingly fierce and threatened the evil spirits. The black-coloured beast was enveloped in it at once and turned into powder.

”Using an array to defeat an array?”

Yi Xie was slightly amused and sneered, ”Such a half-baked array and you dare to display it?”

”Heeheehee!”

”Hahaha!”

On Yi Xie’s body, 9 streams of black energy appeared and turned into ghostly spirits of babies which laughed eerily non-stop. The 9 spirits dived into the black fog.

Immediately, another powerful array was cast, it was the 9 Child Ghost Mother Array!

Although Yi Xie was belittling Fang Yuan, he was actually wary of him and immediately displayed his killer move!

”Be careful...” Ye Shuhua warned.

Within the colourful butterflies, Ye Shuhua’s determined voice could be heard, ”This array is very sinister and powerful, it is formed from 9 tainted spirits! It can severely corrode and damage magical equipment!”

”There’s no point talking now!”

Yi Xie chortled, streaks of black-green energy appeared and corroded the sword essence. It had even spread to the sword’s body itself.

”Thunder sword!”

Fang Yuan made use of his spiritual will and the thunder sword coruscated with lightning. The black-green energy was purified from the thunder sword. However, the water and fire swords were not able to withstand the black-green energy.

”Last time, when the 3 Talents Sword Array was broken, the body of the divine swords were also damaged? Thus, if I explode the sword essence, these filths would be gone at once...”

Fang Yuan knew that the swords were powerful as they had previously fought against 10 Illusionary Divine dream masters and were also attacked by dragon claws before. However, Fang Yuan had a sense that the swords’ powers were no longer at their strongest.

The most obvious clue was the fact that the dream elemental force in his actualised dream world was depleting at an alarming rate. It had already dropped to a very critical level.

”Doesn’t matter if it’s a normal dream master, a dream master at the Illusionary Divine stage or a dream master at the Prominent Divine stage, their main cultivation was to forge magical energy through harnessing dream elemental force from the dream realm to create numerous things... At this moment, I can’t believe my dream elemental force has become insufficient!” Fang Yuan thought.

Since he had fought with so many similarly powerful people, this naturally happened.

”If I explode the three swords now, I still can break out of this 9 Child Ghost Mother Array and escape with the power of the Modest Wind Sword... Whereas, for the Ye sisters, they can only rely on themselves!” Fang Yuan came to the conclusion of escaping after pondering for a moment.

”Once I recover, Yi Xie will be no match for me!”

He waved his right hand and an illusionary green-coloured windy sword essence appeared. It was agile and nimble.

”3 Talents Sword, explode!”

If they were normal magical soldiers, Fang Yuan would have greatly cherished and valued them.

However, for dream soldier masters, once they were successfully formed, even if they were damaged, they could easily be recovered with dream elemental force. Thus, Fang Yuan was naturally not parsimonious and used this move readily.

”Kaboom!”

”Kaboom!”

”Kaboom!”

The three swords exploded and a shocking red and blue light mixed with lightning dazzled as they spread

”Ahh... I will fight till the end, 9 Child Ghost Mother, appear!”

Yi Xie’s hair was in a mess. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of vital blood.

In the array, 9 ghastly green ghost babies appeared and combined into one, forming a horrifying and disturbing shape which surrounded Fang Yuan.

”Heeheeee!”

Once the Ghost Mother appeared, a destructive and baleful force could be felt. The astounding sword essence shot to the skies.

Flame, frost, lightning...

An agglomeration of ripples spread across the surroundings and even ripped a layer off the ground.

A mushroom cloud rose and once the dust settled, a large crater was left at the original spot.

Although the Ye sisters’ butterflies were powerful and they were not at the centre of the explosion, they were still flung far away. Their butterfly defence was broken and both of them were unconscious.

”Dead? Unlikely!”

Fang Yuan tensed his lips, walked forward two steps and looked at the centre of the crater.

”Bang!”

The upper layer of soil blasted off and Yi Xie emerged from it. The corner of his lips was bleeding and his shirt was broken, he was extremely ravaged.

”Things are bad...”

Fang Yuan became tense as he saw Yi Xie.

Although Yi Xie appeared ravaged, it was merely minor injuries for him. Whereas, Fang Yuan had already used up all his moves.

”Time to leave!” Fang Yuan thought as a green-coloured wind appeared beside to bring him away.

”Don’t think about escaping!”

Yi Xie’s eyes were bloodshot, he turned into a stream of light and charged forward. With a wave of his hands, a black rope appeared. Yi Xie was relentless; he was determined to have Fang Yuan dead.

”If we were to fight, even though my dream elemental force is almost fully depleted, my Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique has not been used at all yet...”

Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and challenged, ”Since you are courting death, I will let you die!”

Even if he was forced into such a predicament, he could still breakthrough to the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine in the middle of the battle by using the heavenly energy which he kept in his actualised dream world!

This was his last card up his sleeve, it was not supposed to be easily used.

But since Yi Xie was courting death, Fang Yuan decided to kill him.

”Hand it over!”

Yi Xie roared, ”I feel... there’s something I want in your body! It’s even clearer now! Once I have it, I will definitely be able to advance to the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine!”

”Advance to the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine... could it be...”

Fang Yuan felt uneasy and looked at his own body.

He just realised there was a layer of dark red glow on his body.

In his actualised dream world, as the dream elemental force was almost fully depleted, streaks of evil forces appeared and became stronger. They had a dream-like power.

”The evil force from the Illusionary World of the Three World Mountain!”

Fang Yuan’s expression turned awful at once, ”After I depleted my dream elemental force and lost the power of my divine swords, this happens?”

”Smack!”

Fang Yuan could not spend so long thinking, his eagle claw grabbed the black rope and his palm was scalding hot. It was as though it was being seared by flames.

”Hand over the thing now!”

Yi Xie screamed crazily as he whipped the black rope.

An evil devouring force reached his palm and was incredibly corrosive.

”What an evil weapon!”

At that moment, even Fang Yuan’s martial art elemental force could not protect Fang Yuan’s palm. Under the corrosive force of the black rope, both his palms rotted and blood oozed out.

”Heehee... this Soul Devouring Rope is powered by my dream elemental force. Once it sticks to its prey, the prey will definitely die!”

Yin Xie laughed wickedly, ”If you don’t want to turn into a pile of pus, quickly hand over the thing I want!”

”You want it? Fine, I will give it to you!”

A ruthless energy grew from the bottom of Fang Yuan’s heart which caused him to gave up on trying to escape. He suppressed his thoughts of breaking through and the blood-red glow on his body became even stronger.

”This evil force is like a nuisance to me, but since you want it so much, I shall give it to you!” Fang Yuan guffawed as his voice turned darker.

In an instant, a layer of bloody glow emerged from Fang Yuan’s palm and Yi Xie’s dream elemental force disintegrated at once. The blood-red glow spread along the black rope and reached Yi Xie’s palms.

”This is... heavenly evil force! You have Heavenly Evil Dream Elements in your body?! Ahhh...”

Yi Xie let out a bloodcurdling scream as both his hands wizened at once, it was as though his blood and flesh disappeared in an instant.

”Let go... quickly let go!” Yi Xie shrieked as he was panic-stricken.

Whereas Fang Yuan had accurately felt this evil force’s joy, it was as though it finally found its delicious prey and was greedily devouring the opponent’s everything.

”Spare me... spare my life...”

Yi Xie’s eyes were filled with terror. He could not let go of both of his hands as he instead became the Soul Devouring Rope’s sacrificial offering. Slowly, his arms, shoulders, chest, et cetera wizened.

Once the flesh on his cheeks disappeared, he became a blood red skeleton.

”Crackle Crackle!”

A bright red blaze engulfed his corpse. Immediately, the entire dream master was gone. Even the hollow could not snatch it in time.

”Heavenly evil force? Heavenly Evil Dream Element has become stronger?”

Before Yi Xie perished, Fang Yuan wanted to stop. However, the evil force was so strong and adherent that it could not be let go.

At that moment, once the flames extinguished, Fang Yuan felt that an evil force stronger than before had returned to him. Furthermore, it felt extremely filling.

The evil force entered his actualised dream world and settled down. Streaks of mercury-like dream elemental force appeared and the dark red streaks could no longer be seen.

”Horrifying!”

Although it defeated his powerful opponent and even recovered his injuries, Fang Yuan was not even slightly happy at it.

”This elemental force is indeed a type of dream elemental force. Heavenly evil force? Too bad Yi Xie has already died, if not, I could have asked him...”

He felt that this force did not rely on his actions and had its own will.

Obviously, Fang Yuan could not allow such an uncontrollable force to be present in his dream world, especially one that came from a dead person!”

”Once I leave, this hidden danger must be settled immediately!”

He glanced at the battlefield. Yi Xie was long gone, his flesh and elemental force were fully devoured and there was not even a piece of cloth left behind. The only thing left behind was the black rope.

At the side of the battlefield, the Ye sisters were still unconscious. The elder sister held on tightly to a piece of jade. The jade had a layer of clear glow to it which forcefully protected the sisters.

”Unconscious until now? It is a form of blessing!”

Upon a closer look, Fang Yuan realised they were really in a coma. He sighed as his intentions to kill them faded.

What happened earlier on was too bizarre. If these two ladies saw it, he would have to kill them both. However, since they were unconscious, he no longer had to.

”Hmm... the two of them are fine, just that their sea of consciousness were disturbed when I exploded my magical soldiers just now. If they were outside, I can just leave them to sleep and recover, but inside here...”

Fang Yuan took the jade and formed two flowers made of water. He sprinkled the water onto the two sisters as two streams of dream elemental force transferred to them.

The two ladies were not severely injured and these were enough.

”Ahh!”

Ye Shuhua shrieked and opened her eyes, she scratched her head and said, ”My head hurts... where’s Yi Xie?”

”Sister!”

Ye Shumin hugged herself and said, ”Why am I wet? It’s so cold!”

”You...”

Ye Shuhua rolled her eyes at Fang Yuan. She realised both of them were revealed to Fang Yuan. She quickly blocked her sister’s body and shrieked, ”No looking!”
