Carefree Path of Dreams

The City of Pain.

In the small gray world, the multicolored lights disappeared and reappeared in the center of the city.

“It’ll take some effort to break that line of defense!”

Fang Yuan’s figure appeared, his expression a little heavy.

If it were any other Demon God, they would probably not know where to begin when faced with the restriction of the multicolored lights.

Even if they barely managed to break it, the result would inevitably be to sink into that strange world.

Only another Dream Master could solve the methods of another Dream Master so quickly and appropriately.

“City of Pain… I don’t know what’s in it either,” Fang Yuan murmured as he stepped into the gray city. “In fact… even if I don’t gain anything, as long as I can destroy this place, it will certainly affect the Abominable Lord. But… I still prefer to think that he left some treasures here. Why else would there be such heavy protection?”

The gray city was not large. Rather, this entire city was actually one person’s palace.

The houses linked together, and the halls and buildings were full of the strange styles of the Mental Demon Realm.

Fang Yuan walked in deeper, into the center.

There, a sacrificial altar that seemed to be made of bones came into view.

“Wh-what array is that?”

Fang Yuan was shocked.

That huge array used at least tens of millions of bones. Moreover, it seemed as though all of them came from humans.

There were various complex blood patterns on the bones. The more central it was, the more dense it was. They finally converged on a strange blade inserted in the center of the array.

This blade was somewhat similar to a katana—thin, sharp, and exuding radiance.

Fang Yuan possessed the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao and obtained a bunch of information with just one glance.

“Seven Deadly Sin Demon Blade! With the metal of the Mental Demon as the carrier, it has gathered the evil aura in this area for countless years. With one stroke, neither demons nor gods will remain!”

“Wow. It seems like the Abominable Lord built this world not only to cultivate the Seven Emotions Bugs but also to form this demon blade!”

If this blade succeeded, it would definitely be a Demon God-level weapon, and its power would be more terrifying than a Great Dao!

“As for now?”

Fang Yuan stretched out his right hand.

Rumble!

Behind him, the Chaos Giant wearing dragon armor emerged. It roared and grabbed it, evoking Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

Bang!

The terrible impact directly cracked the layers of restrictions around the sacrificial altar. A layer of transparent light film in the void opened, allowing its hand to touch the altar directly.

Compared to the earlier ingenious unraveling, it was sheer brute force this time.

Although it would alert the Abominable Lord immediately, it had its advantage—speed!

“Break!”

Fang Yuan growled and destroyed the defense with one punch. The second claw turned into a giant hand and grabbed at the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Blade in the center of the altar.

Ding!

The moment his hand was about to touch the demon blade, a thin black shadow suddenly appeared.

It was in the form of an old human man with a small horn on his forehead, red eyes, and bulging blood vessels on the sides.

With a smirk, he pulled the demon blade out and swung it at the giant hand!

Dang!

The demon blade was incomparably sharp. The Chaos Giant wailed as the Blood Dragon armor on its hand cracked, and the blade landed on the Chaos Giant’s body completely unhindered.

Pride, jealousy, anger, gluttony…

The emotions of the seven deadly sins instantly wrapped Fang Yuan’s heart and transformed into thousands of calamities.

“Good blade! A really good demon blade!”

Fang Yuan sighed, and a colorful cloud appeared above his head. The Dark Heavenly Dao flew out and spread numerous branches.

“I am the master of this area!”

He instantly grabbed control of the area as thunder rolled and lingered around him. “Abominable Lord… you actually have a true clone ability!”

This was not a Dream Master’s True Spirit dream-traversing or creating an incarnation of power at will but a true clone technique!

This clone possessed most of the combat power of the main body, and it could survive independently even if the main body died. It was a rare ability!

That’s right!

Even if its appearance was different from before, Fang Yuan was certain that this old man with a black horn was the Abominable Lord’s clone!

“Good things come to those who wait. You finally appeared!”

The light in the old man’s eyes glittered. “Dao of Netherheaven?”

The main body will immediately receive the news since the clone is here. I have to be quick!

Fang Yuan’s eyebrows arched, and the endless pressure of a Heavenly Dao fell on them.

However, a sneer crept up on the old man’s face. He raised the demon blade high.

Black text appeared on both sides of the blade, slightly emitting a golden light and seeming ominous.

Fang Yuan immediately discovered that the power of his Dark Heavenly Dao had collapsed. His face changed. “This is… Heaven Extermination Plate?”

“The so-called Heaven Extermination Plate is but a poor imitation…”

Holding the blade with both hands, the black-horned old man transformed into a stream of light. “Heaven Extermination… cut!”

This blade light contained the enhancement from the Heaven Extermination Truth, and the power of the Heavenly Dao immediately withdrew.

A Heavenly Dao was the fusion of tens of thousands of Daos. When the Heavenly Dao withdrew, the power of the other Great Daos also dissipated!

The power of this blade was simply beyond Fang Yuan’s imagination!

“Sure enough, the Heaven Extermination Plate isn’t the original after all… Unexpectedly, the complete version of the Heaven Extermination Truth has such prowess!”

Fang Yuan recalled the Chaos Giant and condensed the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao to the limit into a weapon that seemed like both a saber and a sword at the same time but was not quite either. He charged.

Clang!

The weapons clashed against each other with a crisp sound.

A small crack appeared on the Omnidirectional Divine Demonic Armament Dao, which was instantly filled by vast Great Dao power.

“Seems like you can’t cut much of this highly concentrated Great Dao power!”

Fang Yuan’s expression turned firm. “Heaven Devouring! Devour!”

The two terrible powers enhanced the Divine Demonic Armament.

Both he and the Abominable Lord’s clone turned into two streams of light in an instant, and they exchanged more than ten thousand blows in the sky above the City of Pain.

Ding!!!

Fang Yuan sneered after another clash.

Text appeared on the Divine Demonic Armament. It was the Heaven Extermination Truth, but the shape was a little incomplete.

“This is…”

The black-horned old man looked at the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Blade in his hand and saw the Heaven Extermination Truth on his blade dim. His expression changed.

“I staked it all on consuming a massive amount of the natural source of the Devour Great Dao and the Heaven Devouring Great Dao, and was able to absorb part of the Heaven Extermination Truth through the clashes!”

Fang Yuan calmed down with this development.

The Heaven Extermination Truth might be able to restrain a Heavenly Dao, but it was actually also in a relationship similar to fire and water.

How could a drop of water extinguish a sea of flames?

How could a single spark dry up a whole river?

By damaging the power of his Great Daos, it allowed him to devour part of the Heaven Extermination Truth.

However, a clone is on par with me with just that demon blade. His main body… is simply too powerful… Fortunately, he was lured away… Fang Yuan felt slightly thankful. “The attack this time has to be swift. I have to retreat after ten more breaths even if I obtain nothing!”

As long as this attack was successful and he managed to retreat, it would be an enormous blow to the Abominable Lord even if he did not destroy the City of Pain.

“It would be best if… I can destroy this clone in front of me!!!”

Netherheaven was a completely different level compared to Myriad Transformations and Void Amalgamation.

However, this black-horned old man was obviously also a great Netherheaven Demon God! He might not be as strong as the main body, but when coupled with the demon blade, he was still strong enough to deal with Fang Yuan.

“Creation Sword Array, kill!”

Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly, and he beckoned. Nine heaven-reaching sword pillars sieged the City of Pain at its core.

Numerous Sword Qi emerged and killed with unmatched power.

He hid himself within the Sword Qi and approached the Abominable Clone.

Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!

The boundless Sword Qi bombarded the old man constantly, forcing him to dodge and even raise his sword to block.

After the third breath, his face turned into one with delight. “Boy… you are dead!”

“What?” Fang Yuan was startled and immediately felt the appearance of an immense shadow outside the sword array.

It looked like a massive deep-sea manta ray, and its shadow covered the sky. The darkness cast from the sky could neither be described nor looked at directly!

This was the main body of the Abominable Lord, a peak Netherheaven with half a foot into the Dao Fruit realm!

“He returned so fast!” Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly. “Even so… the sword array is enough to stop you for three breaths. I’ll use this chance to destroy your clone!”

It was not easy to form a clone with Netherheaven combat power. He was absolutely sure that the Abominable Lord would suffer an enormous blow to his vitality if he destroyed this clone.

“Die!”

The next moment, he appeared beside the black-horned old man, and nine flying swords stabbed him along with the Divine Demonic Armament in his hand.

‘”Ahh!”

The black-horned old man had a determined look on his face as well. “Seven Sins! Kill!”

Seven rays of light shot out, breaking seven flying swords.

The Seven Deadly Sin Demon Blade itself held up against the Divine Demonic Armament.

Two flying swords buried themselves into the old man’s eyes at the speed of light.

“Done! Heaven Devouring Great Dao! Devour Great Dao!”

Fang Yuan seized the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Blade as a horrifying black hole swallowed the old man.

Rumble!

Right at that moment, a giant explosion occurred, and a frightening pressure came down on him. The Heavenly Dao power under Fang Yuan’s control was eliminated in an instant.

A huge darkness completely covered him!

“How was he so fast? He broke the array in just one breath!”

Fang Yuan turned grave. “The Abominable Lord’s strength… seems to have surpassed my expectations. Is this the strength of a peak Netherheaven Demon God?”

“You destroyed my clone, die!!!”

Terrifying thoughts mixed with darkness and transformed into a mighty force that raged toward him.

Not only that, but the high heavens and deep earth, even the void and chaos, seemed to turn into impenetrable walls that squeezed in on Fang Yuan from all sides.

There were differences between Netherheaven Demon Gods even if they both had the authority and power of a Creator.

Obviously, the Abominable Lord had an advantage over Fang Yuan, no matter whether it was his true body’s cultivation or the geographical location.

“Run!”

Fang Yuan understood this, so a layer of blood light surrounded him as he turned into a blood rainbow and started to escape!
