Carefree Path of Dreams

A number of Demon Gods had died in the Extreme East Dark Mystic Ocean.

But at the moment, another unique existence was born from the remains and grievances of these Demon Gods, directly bypassing the seal to arrive at the Mental Demon Battlefield.

This was an almighty being that Demon God Ancient Netherworld had not known about!

The playful Demon God put his hands behind his back and looked at the battlefield while commenting with a proud air of seniority. “This time, the Heavenly Court was already prepared and resolutely set up an ambush. That Demon God has been sealed for many years, so even if he escapes his cage, he won’t escape the outcome of remaining a prisoner. The Infinite Devourer is also very mysterious, while the Lord of the Void has a fifty percent chance of escaping…

“The only issue is that although he placed his demonic thoughts on all of the Demon Spirits in the Mental Demon Battlefield, when the Celestial Thearch starts interfering with this situation, he’ll definitely utilize the Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array to refine the entire Mental Demon Battlefield and strengthen the seal, clearing up all the hidden dangers. Hence, he can’t escape while it’s still early or the consequences will be dire… Instead, that Mental Demon channel is somewhat odd, as well as the Heavenly Court!”

As an observer, he could see everything clearly and notice many things. A trace of regret appeared on his face. “If I had more time, I wouldn’t need to do something so drastic like this. I would still be able to subdue more Demon Masters, swallow the two sealed Demon Gods secretly, and gather the origin power from the core into one body. Even the Celestial Thearch wouldn’t be my opponent. What a pity! What a pity!”

With a wave of his hand, a long black robe appeared on his body. “Hmm… from today forth, I am a new Demon God named Li Hen!!!”

“Yes, Master!”

At his side, two Demon Masters were dead set on being unswerving in their loyalty. If this was witnessed by other Demon Masters, they would definitely be streaming cold sweat.

As Demon Masters, they naturally set their first priority as forming their own Great Dao and stepping into the Demon God realm.

If they were controlled and became a slave like this, they would rather die.

…

Thump!

Starlight exploded. Erag, who ran the fastest earlier, was immediately forced to return, similar to the other Demon Masters.

More than ten Ancient Gods slowly closed in and formed a giant circle to surround them. “There’s no need to struggle anymore. The main stellar power of the Massive Stellar Array has been transferred by His Majesty to suppress the Demon Gods. This is the remaining, but it’s not something that any of you can break free from!”

This was also the reason why they were so calm earlier.

It did not matter to them if these Demon Masters fought one another for origin power.

After all, even if they obtained it, they still needed time to refine origin power!

Otherwise, it was equivalent to having an additional burden.

They planned on letting these Demon Masters fight internally and mutually exhaust one another to the extent that they could no longer work together. Then, using the combined strength of more than ten Ancient Gods and the array, they would close in on them. This would achieve a great victory while reducing injuries to a minimum.

Any crafty plots or machinations that had ascended to their level seemed to somewhat return to its natural state and become grand overt schemes.

“Kun Ang!”

With the Ancient Gods surrounding them, the other Demon Gods had already stopped. Only the Chaos Giant that was Fang Yuan and Demon Master Kun Ang continued to go at it back and forth in an earth-shattering manner.

“Hey! Truly acting recklessly… This Demon Master Kun Ang has some problems with his disposition and occasionally goes insane, but this Dream Demon giant is purely an idiot!” the War King indifferently criticized, and then he looked at the ancient Stellar Gods beside him. “Later, the three of you will just need to defeat the other Demon Masters. Leave this giant to me!”

Evidently, he was preparing to kill Fang Yuan with his own hands in order to clear away the humiliation from that day when his subordinate, Black Dragon, was killed.

“Don’t worry!”

The three Stellar Gods, who were always respectfully treated by the War King, exuded intense soldierly Qi containing an unparalleled swiftness and ferocity, as if they were not any inferior to a King Ancient God.

There are many stars in the heavens, but there were only a few which were truly vast and incomparably horrifying.

Other than stars like the Moon and the Emperor, the ones with the higher combat strength were three malignant stars—Destruction, Greedy Wolf, and Seven Killings 1 !

Not only was the stellar power horrifying for such malignant stars, during periods when the lower realm descended into chaos and stellar power entered the realm, which was known as the Malignant Stars Inheritance, everyone affected would become horrifying and lead troops to go on killing rampages.

After their deaths, all the Qi accumulated in their entire lives from the slaughter they engaged in during battle, including the military and soldierly Qi as well as Martial Dao cultivation experience, would all return to the stars.

Year after year like this, how ample would their innumerable accumulations be?

This was all merits to these three Stellar Masters.

Not to mention, all of the Stellar Gods and Stellar Masters were the true subordinates of the Celestial Thearch. They were the means of maintaining the governance of the Heavenly Court, and the level of intimacy and estrangement were even more distinct.

With these three Stellar Masters commanding, the remaining four Stellar Gods were not weaklings and sufficient to encircle and suppress the Demon Masters that were within the Mental Demon Battlefield.

The War King gave a long howl. Heavenly Cycle starlight once again concentrated and inhibited the movable space of the Demon Masters.

“Damn… Dream Demon, what time is it already… Green Damask, what’re you waiting for? Quickly block your lunatic leader!”

Erag saw the many Ancient Gods outside and was already stunned, but seeing Fang Yuan and Kun Ang still fighting, she was immediately frantic.

“Dream Demon, why are you still not stopping!”

A cold look flashed through Green Damask’s eyes. Numerous petals appeared and flew toward the giant, sticking on to its body.

“I have long had a bad impression of all of you!”

Fang Yuan raised his fist. The origin power that was refined earlier was completely released as the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water appeared in the blink of an eye. “Creation Divine Fist!”

Rumble!

Power! A power that could suppress everything appeared, and Kun Ang’s huge toad body directly crashed onto the ground.

Intense flames burned as wind and water filled the entire sky. Many petals withered and fell.

“Die!”

At this moment, his killing intent was intensely concentrated, even condensing into something tangible.

Demon Master Green Damask gasped in astonishment as an aquamarine flower bud appeared around her, protecting her inside it layer upon layer.

However, Fang Yuan’s eyes were piercingly cold as he punched the flower bud with his fist.

The next moment…

Heavenly fragrance scattered. Green Damask shouted in pain and rapidly retreated.

“Creation Sword Array! Go!”

With a flick of Fang Yuan’s finger, sword radiance appeared. This sword array⁠—which was immensely famous in the lower realms⁠—reappeared, ready to use the Demon Masters to display its might!

Rumble!

A sword pillar charged toward the sky and instantly enveloping Green Damask and Kun Ang inside.

Fang Yuan strolled into the array as his Creation Divine Fist successively thundered out.

Amid sounds causing the others to shiver, the sword array slowly dispersed. But there was already nothing inside.

“Impossible!”

Nine Heads and the Life-and-Death Crow were both shocked stiff.

Kun Ang was the leader of the Demon Masters in the Myriad Thunder Plain, and although Green Damask was slightly weaker, she was still a Demon Master.

How could these two great characters of the origin power realm be defeated and killed just like that?

This was completely out of their expectations, happening so quickly that there was no time to even prevent it nor rescue them.

“Kun Ang devours everything and had the strength of 2-Essence, while even Green Damask had 1-Essence. To defeat them so easily, you must at least have the strength of 3-Essence! Dream Demon… you already have the cultivation of a 3-Essence Demon Master? You completely refined all of the origin power earlier?”

Erag’s response was the fastest, and she was incomparably shocked.

This essence was linked to the ‘origin’ and was the manifestation of the power from the natural source!

Among the Demon Masters, there were also distinctions between superior and inferior ones.

Those just entering the Demon Master realm generally only refined one drop of origin power, and this was a 1-Essence Demon Master. Kun Ang had a lucky encounter previously, and he had swallowed and refined a drop of origin power after becoming a Demon Master, thereby becoming a 2-Essence Demon Master. Otherwise, he would have been incapable of becoming the leader of the Myriad Thunder Plain.

However, in the blink of an eye, the two Demon Masters were annihilated. At the very least, he had to be at 3-Essence!

“1-Essence, 2-Essence?” Fang Yuan laughed. “Without forming a Great Dao and becoming a Demon God, it’s ultimately meaningless!”

The origin power of a Demon Master was merely an accumulation. Only upon successfully creating their own Great Dao and ascending to Demon God would that represent a true enhancement to a higher level.

Otherwise, no matter whether someone was at 10-Essence or 100-Essence and had unmatched strength, they would still have to be under the command of the Demon Gods.

“Right now… I don’t want to say anything more?”

He looked at the remaining Demon Masters and said with a calm voice, “Pass me all of your origin power and I’ll destroy this array, allowing you to escape. Otherwise…”

“He’s bluffing!” Demon Master Seven Spirits was terrified. “He’s using this opportunity to digest the origin power. If we’re together, we can definitely…”

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Evidently, two Demon Masters had died on the side of the Myriad Thunder Plain, leaving him as the lone pillar.

Furthermore, Dream Demon came from the Bottomless Blood Abyss, and if anything happened, it was truly difficult to tell whose side they would stand on.

“Digest?”

Fang Yuan licked his lips.

He had to admit that those two Demon Masters just now were really not any inferior to the huge feast of three drops of origin power earlier.

Sure enough, the other Demon Masters did not do anything.

Outside, the War King and the three Ancient Gods of malignant stars also stopped. There were two reasons. First, they were afraid of Fang Yuan’s methods. Second, more importantly, there was the intention of letting the Demon Masters kill one another to save time and energy.

“Dream Demon…” Nine Heads had a complex look. “Unexpectedly… you were this deeply concealed?”

“If we don’t agree, does that mean you’ll still devour us?” asked the Death Head of the Life-and-Death Crow loudly.

“This… how could that be?” Fang Yuan smiled vibrantly, but the chaotic Four Symbols on his hand did not weaken at all.

…

Bottomless Blood Abyss.

Demon God Li Hen opened the secret area and arrived at where Demon God Ancient Netherworld was sealed. He looked at the giant blood-red face. “Ancient Netherworld… you want to escape?”

Ancient Netherworld glanced at Demon God Li Hen and said indifferently, “Your body… has the aura of a few fellows I hate, but you’re not them!”

“Those existences have already disappeared with time. From now on, there’s only me, Demon God Li Hen!” said the mischievous Demon God audaciously. “Now… do you want to come out?”

“You want to devour me?” The giant blood-red face of the Ancient Netherworld stared at Li Hen and then suddenly laughed. “You’re not afraid of being devoured by me instead?”

“That’s because we have no other choice… After the Celestial Thearch wipes out the other Demon Gods, he’ll definitely cleanse the entire Mental Demon Battlefield… Time is limited, and no matter who devours who between you and me, there must be one person who can reach for the peak once again. Only then would there be hope… Do you dare gamble?”

“What do you think?”

Demon God Ancient Netherworld laughed loudly as many blood bubbles exploded open. A dark red brilliance instantly permeated the entire secret area.

“Come out…”

The eyes of Demon God Li Hen were scorching hot as he tore with both hands. The ground automatically split like flesh and blood. And vaguely, an immensely huge silhouette could be seen.

This was the true body of Demon God Ancient Netherworld!

Outside the secret area of the Blood Abyss, Demon Masters Yin and Yang resembled sculptures as they stood still without moving, as if they were silently waiting for something.

At this moment, on the battlefield, Fang Yuan looked inside his body and felt that the Black Source Pearl was slightly starting to revolt. His eyes grew dark. “Demon God… Ancient Netherworld!”
