Carefree Path of Dreams

Panda Novel

Demon Masters were naturally stronger than Duke Ancient Gods.

Fang Yuan’s sudden violent attack immediately made the Gods lose their confidence.

Even the War King was not confident of defeating Erag. As soon as he witnessed this, he decided to adopt a passive defense instead.

Rumble!

The Heaven Palace guarded by four Ancient Gods inside gave off a bright shine. The power of the Five Elements merged to form a film of light, enclosing the Heaven Palace from all sides.

“What a pity!” The War King appeared solemn as he looked at the scene. “Damn Black Dragon! If he were here, five Ancient Gods together could have stimulated the last level change in the Heaven Palace and amended any damage caused by the enemy, but now there’s a flaw!”

Of course, while saying so, he was not really worried.

After all, even if the restrictions were damaged by the previous attacks, they could still hold back the enemy for some time. That would be sufficient for the other Ancient Gods, or even an army from the Heavenly Court, to join them in time!

“This array…” Outside the Heaven Palace, Fang Yuan pondered while gazing at the film of light.

“It takes five Ancient Gods to fully utilize the power of the Heaven Palace Array, but it has a flaw now…” Erag laughed as she made this comment.

“Despite the flaw, we don’t have much of a chance at destroying it if the Ancient Gods defend with all their strength. They were too arrogant earlier… If they had chosen to defend from inside the palace from the beginning, we’d have made no progress!” Fang Yuan replied coldly.

In reality, the Ancient Gods had had no other choice.

There were only four Demon Masters attacking. If all five Ancient Gods did not dare fight outside the palace, the reputation of the War King would have been ruined from then on.

Of course, while they were not arrogant to the extent of thinking that they could defeat the Demon Masters, they were confident that they could at least protect themselves.

Unfortunately, they had encountered Fang Yuan, who they had known nothing about.

“Never mind… At the speed of Ancient Gods, the other two military divisions will quickly return… It won’t be fun getting blocked by them while encountering an army from the Heavenly Court at the same time!” The green grass blanket moved as if it were alive, taking Erag away from the palace. “Anyway… we’ve managed to get the sacrifice, haven’t we?”

“Well done, Dream Demon!”

The Hydra and the Life-and-Death Crow laughed aloud as they retreated rapidly.

Demon Masters were best at flying and hiding; the slightly less capable ones had already been killed by the Heaven Palace’s Gods.

Ancient God?

Fang Yuan looked at the four-colored amber in his hand. He shook his head, laughed, and flew off into the sky.

Although he might comprehend something from the Deity Position of an Ancient God, that was too insignificant compared to the feast right in front of him.

The origin power on the Mental Demon Battlefield was sealed up in the nucleus, but Demon Masters are living drops of origin power as well! Too bad… Even if I’m lucky enough to defeat one of them on my own, I’m not sure I could take their lives, much less seal them and swallow them…

However… if the Mental Demon Battlefield undergoes some upheaval, there may be a chance.

Despite the many evil thoughts in Fang Yuan’s mind, Dream Masters were experts at concealing their spiritual will and animosity. Therefore, he was not the least bit suspected by the three Demon Masters.

…

The Bottomless Blood Abyss.

“What in the world is the so-called sacrifice?” Upon reaching safety, Fang Yuan directly confronted Erag. “None of you mentioned it before the assault!”

He was confident that they would not turn against him, so he pretended to be furious.

Seeing that the only sacrifice was in his hands, both the Hydra and the Life-and-Death Crow tried to placate him. “Dream Demon… We apologize. We intended to test you first, but you’ve passed the test and became one of us! We’ll tell you all the secrets!”

“Go ahead…” Fang Yuan said with a cold expression, “I don’t want to be confused when I get killed by the Demon God on the other side.”

“In fact… it’s unlikely that the Demon God will take action!” Erag smiled inscrutably. “Moreover… we still had some confidence… Do you know where we came from?”

“The Mental Demon Realm, of course!” Fang Yuan answered immediately. “The Mother Realm left behind some origin power after the unsuccessful invasion into the Spiritual Realm. The origin power formed this star and countless Demon Spirits, causing endless trouble to Heavenly Court… To us, the Mother Realm is the origin of everything!”

“That’s right. The Spiritual Realm is nothing but dust to the Mother Realm…” Erag’s expression turned zealous. “That’s the place we belong to! We’ve been trapped here for too long, and I can’t wait to return to the Mother Realm. Existences at the Demon Master level should not be bound… And I suspect that the only method to discover my own Dao and advance to a Demon God lies in the Mother Realm!”

“Could it be…” Fang Yuan pretended to be excited. “You’ve found a way to connect to the Mother Realm? That’s impossible! The periphery of this star has been locked up by a powerful strength, and no messages can be delivered to the outside!”

“Things that can’t be achieved by Demon Masters may be achievable to Demon Gods…” Nine Heads said with a hidden meaning in its words. “Dream Demon, did you know that there are two other perilous lands here to the Gods? A Demon God or their dead bodies are sealed in every perilous land!”

Life and death were not mutually exclusive concepts to Demon Gods. A thought of theirs might still be able to play tricks even tens of thousands of years after their death.

“This magical technique was conveyed by a Dao Mark on the Myriad Thunder Plain and recorded the deductions of a Demon God… Several Demon Masters, including us, have experimented with it. It’s highly effective, but the conditions are harsh!”

“I see…” Fang Yuan looked at the four-colored amber in his hand. “It requires at least an Ancient God as a sacrifice to open a channel?”

Although Marquises could easily lose their lives on the Mental Demon Battlefield, Ancient Gods were much more resilient.

Even if they were defeated, their Deity Positions and divine spirits could still escape. What had happened to Black Dragon was extremely rare.

“Indeed. After discovering this magical technique, many Demon Masters fought to get a sacrifice, but only succeeded three times. And we’ve only succeeded once in opening a channel!” said the Life Head of the Life-and-Death Crow.

“No! That couldn’t be counted as a success! The channel broke down halfway… but at least we could confirm that the magical technique was valid!” the Death Head rebutted the depiction immediately.

“I see. This is a blessing from the Mother Realm!” Fang Yuan appeared glad, but his heart felt cold. The Mental Demon Realm will invade again? This is absolutely bad news to the Spiritual Realm, but it’s bad news to me as well!

He had quite a few enemies in the Mental Demon Realm, and one of them was a Demon God. He would be a goner once they were connected to the Mental Demon Realm.

Of course, it would be palpably abnormal for a Demon Master to decline an opportunity to leave this cage and enter the Mental Demon Realm.

This is troublesome… A multitude of thoughts flashed through Fang Yuan’s mind. If these Demon Masters manage to open a channel to the Mental Demon Realm, its will would certainly be pleased, possibly giving them rewards like heaven’s blessings… But of course, it won’t let them directly advance to a higher realm!

The Mental Demon’s will could promote a Demon Spirit to a Demon Master, but it could never help a Demon Master break through the barrier to become a Demon God!

If the Great Dao of Demon God could be endowed to others, how could it be honored as a truly boundless Great Dao?

If the Mental Demon Realm can help me advance to the Demon God level, then I may probably help it reach here. In that case, I won’t have to worry about being chased down by my enemies. However, right now… Fang Yuan’s thoughts ran wild as he started thinking about a way to spoil the Demon Masters’ plan. As a last resort, I can leave straightaway and continue to be my Lord Mountain River. They’ll have no way to offer a sacrifice without the sacrifice itself!

“It’s not our job to offer the sacrifice of Ancient Gods to contact the Mental Demon Realm!”

“Aside from the sacrifice, the ceremony also requires large quantities of flesh and blood, as well as other materials…”

“Inform the Demon Masters in the other two perilous lands that we must reach an agreement on this issue.”

…

Without noticing what Fang Yuan was thinking, the other three Demon Masters started planning the offering ceremony.

Of course, out of respect for the powerful, they would not force Fang Yuan to give them his spoils of war.

They could never have expected that Fang Yuan, a Demon Master just like them, was only thinking of betraying their alliance and sabotaging their plan.

After all, ever since Da Qian, he had become used to relying on no one other than himself.

Furthermore, he came to the Mental Demon Battlefield only for the abundant origin power here.

That was his utmost goal, overriding all else.

“Nevertheless, this sacrificial offering ceremony will be a good opportunity… I may be able to swallow some of them after both the Heaven Palace and the Demon Masters have suffered injuries!”

A dangerous glow glistened in Fang Yuan’s eyes. He found an excuse to leave the others and started to meditate.

…

At the location the Demon God was sealed.

Stepping on the blood, Fang Yuan gazed at Demon God Ancient Netherworld before him. “Here’s a piece of good news for you—you will soon escape!”

“Junior!” The face made of blood bubbles appeared calm. “Don’t play tricks in front of me and just get to the point.”

“Great!” Fang Yuan nodded. “The Demon Masters outside have captured an Ancient God, and they’re planning to sacrifice him to gain a connection with the Mental Demon Realm. Your chance to escape will come when the Mental Demon Realm invades again.”

“…” Ancient Netherworld, however, went into a long silence after hearing that.

“What? You’re not willing to leave? Or are you afraid?” Fang Yuan smiled subtly.

“This magical technique of opening a channel with an Ancient God sacrifice must have come from the Myriad Thunder Plain!”

Ancient Netherworld roared, “Damn you… Don’t you see what I’m afraid of? You’re right! Demon Gods can swallow each other’s Dao paths to reinforce our foundation. We’ve all been sealed for many years, so our strength is at a minimum. That guy in the Myriad Thunder Plain dared to do this only because he has allies in the Mental Demon Realm!”

“It seems like… you’ve been living a pathetic life and don’t have many friends!”

Fang Yuan’s subtle smile turned into a grin.
