Chapter 430: Calamity
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
This realm was extremely weird.
The laws of physics were extremely strict and it would hinder any supernormal abilities.
Only in a thousand years with the arrival of the Spiritual King Comet, the spiritual droplets in the entire world would increase in concentration, creating many fabled beings.
The immortal cultivators in the Middle Continent, the vampires and werewolves in the East Continent and the mermaids in the West Continent were all examples.
To Fang Yuan, this was the true source of art.
Although these supernormal beings could rule the world for a moment, they would become weaker as the concentration of spiritual droplets go down and they would inevitably meet their downfall.
In a few years time, the scientists would no longer believe in the miraculous existence of spiritual droplets and would classify them as either nonsense or myths.
"This small realm filled with mostly water might be the sanctuary for the mermaids... Were they hoping to avoid the impending weakening of spiritual droplets?"
Fang Yuan shook his head. "It's a pity... The duration between arrivals is a thousand years old! They would just experience exhaustion to death just by simply growing... Until recent times, with the restoration of spiritual droplets in the atmosphere, the small spiritual array here is activated once more! Therefore, it is able to accumulate all this spiritual energy, forming this node!"
Even though it was only a mere prediction, Fang Yuan had already more or less guessed what had happened here in the past.
"Such a pitiful race, such a pitiful civilisation..."
Although the palace was already abandoned, the supernatural carvings and prints on its walls, together with some drawings and poetry would be able to tempt archaeologists from the outside world. However, Fang Yuan paid little attention to it.
The only thing that mattered to him was the accumulation of spiritual energy in this node ever since the first occurrence!
"Let's begin!"
Fang Yuan mumbled to himself and instantly became the eye of a storm.
The 10 years of accumulative spiritual energy started to flow into Fang Yuan's body in a spiral.
"This body is still too weak and small. I need it to change!"
Fang Yuan could sense that a huge and immense force was flowing through his body, causing the cultivation of his Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell to increase exponentially.
Unfortunately, at the 99.99% of the 4th Grade, he could no longer progress.
This was the limit of the outside world, the limit which western scientists were researching about.
Fang Yuan's spiritual will shook and his body instantly spiritualised. With that, he started to store huge amounts of spiritual droplets in every single cell of his body.
"This world might have its limits on the people here, or in fact, a limit on the entire environment... However, all of these are useless to me! As long as I have my fixed stats, I will be able to use brute force to advance my cultivation!"
Fang Yuan glanced at his stats window.
As his cells started to store the spiritual droplets, the value for his Essence, Spirit and Magic started to increase exponentially and did not seem to have any limit at all.
Furthermore, his Spirit started to increase to many multiples of what it was before and had already reached the value of 40.
With his huge increments in Essence, Spirit and Magic, a huge force was slowly being formed, stimulating the bottleneck of the 5th Grade and forcefully breaking through.
"Kacha!"
After a long while, a distinct sound was heard coming from his soul.
His Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell broke through the bottleneck of the 4th Grade and entered an entirely new realm of circulation of the spiritual energy. From there, he started to radiate spiritual energy, spreading it out constantly. Fang Yuan's senses and control over his power was slowly strengthened as well.
There was a huge change in his stats:
"Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 10.0
Spirit: 40.0
Magic: 40.0
Profession: ???
Cultivation: ???
Technique: [Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell (Grade 5 (1%))]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]"
"Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell: The 1st Grade would grant you the Spiritual Droplets Affined Body and an increase in your energy sense! 2nd Grade of Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell would grant you the ability to release spiritual energy! The 3rd Grade of Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell would grant you the ability to spiritualise! The 4th Grade is completed! You now have the possession of the Spiritual Arena!"
"My stats have multiplied, but my abilities are more than multiplied! Also... this Spiritual Arena..."
Fang Yuan shut his eyes and could feel the power of the arena. This power was extremely concentrated and immense, as though it could affect an entire country.
If this was the ancient times, Fang Yuan would be a God!
"Every living being has an arena. The arena is also one's force, just like how the Earth is covered in a magnetic field... In actual fact, this is the miniature version of the power of an area!"
Comparatively, the power of the arena was much weaker, but still substantial.
The secret art of how the 8 Gates Sword Array was able to manipulate the 4 Emblems Sword Array into a miniature version of the power of an area and was already an impressive art on its own.
If any dream master in the Da Qian World were to display such powers, they would surely be recruited as a potential 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master into the core team and would be trained up at all costs.
"This is... being advanced by an entire generation!"
Fang Yuan sighed.
He initially thought that he was only able to achieve the peak of the 4th Grade. Never would he have thought that his special ability to have fixed stats would allow him to break through the limit of having the power of an arena and entering into the 5th Grade.
"I have to admit that I am the most non-scientific existence in this realm..."
Fang Yuan sighed once more.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
With this, the entire place shook and large cracks formed everywhere. There was a faint storm brewing from within.
"This is a long abandoned place. With the simple act of absorbing its energy, have I pushed it to its limits and destruction?"
His spiritual will shook and his Spiritual Arena appeared, stabilizing the entire place and preventing it from its impending destruction.
"It's a pity... I am still not a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master who is able to create a prosperous land! The Spiritual Arena can only maintain the place status quo and cannot repair it. As soon as I leave, the destruction of this place is irreversible."
Fang Yuan shook his head and did a final scan of the place. Other than discovering a few suspected mermaid eggs which had no hope of hatching, there was nothing else.
As soon as he left, the cracks started to fill the entire space and the entire place crumbled.
"Rumble!"
Amidst the storm, the final place of respite for the mermaids could no longer hold on and crumbled into nothing.
...
"Bloop!"
A huge bubble popped.
Fang Yuan soon arrived at the bottom of the reservoir.
At this point in time, the power of the Spiritual Arena expanded outwards, separating the water around him and creating a space.
"The vibration from the destruction of the place would be felt in the real world, creating an even stronger trembling... and the direction it would head towards..."
He gazed towards the reservoir and shook his head.
At this point in time, the Spiritual Arena received a few pieces of information which piqued Fang Yuan's interest.
He quickly flew up and landed on a water dam.
As he arrived, he saw Paul screaming. He was accompanied by a black wolf with a horn on its forehead and a young girl in a princess gown.
"The people of the White Pigeon Society?"
Fang Yuan remained still in mid-air before walking towards them, fixing his gaze on Lorita.
"You are Lei!"
Lorita held her dress and paid her greetings like a demure princess. "I am the second-in-command of White Pigeon Society, Lorita! You are the one who snatched my Lucy baby from me, right?"
"Lucy... baby?"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and paid no attention to her. Looking at Paul and the huge wolf, he asked, "How are the both of you?"
"I'm alright! However, the Demon Weapon is now activated. Boss is combining forces with Sauron and both of them are doing the final arrangements... Mister Lei, this world needs all of our powers!"
The huge wolf respectfully spoke.
"Rumble!"
In the next moment, there was a violent tremor.
They were unsure if it was due to the changes in the underground laboratory, or the destruction of the space above it or both. On the water dam above the Flor reservoir, it felt like an earthquake of magnitude 8.
It was as though the entire concrete dam was jumping around, and the entire place was covered in silence. Even the excited tourists who were taking pictures of Fang Yuan and the wolf realised what was happening and were screaming for their lives as they fled.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
After a few seconds, a sonic boom was felt. Like a bolt of lightning, it struck hard on the dam, breaking it.
Cracks started to appear on the road above the dam and started to widen.
"Help!"
"God..."
"Please help us!"
It was doomsday and the entire dam fell into chaos.
"Save them!"
The huge wolf Amun bit a few tourists on their backs and swung them far away.
Paul and Lorita were also trying their best to save the tourists around as they rushed towards different directions.
"Too slow!"
Fang Yuan opened his arms and a layer of earth was separated from the dam. Many people who were trapped in the layer of earth were safely delivered to a higher ground.
"Oh! Old woman, let's take a look at God!"
A black man who had just escaped from the danger zone gazed back and examine Fang Yuan. "Save our selfies, for they will be very valuable!"
"Creak!"
Cracks started to spread on the other side of the dam as well.
Finally, a hole appeared and water spewed out. A second hole and a third appeared, forming streams of water and finally, the dam crumbled.
"Rumble!"
It was as though an entire mountain had collapsed.
The entire dam was destroyed and water spewed in all directions, covering the field of sight for those still on the dam.
This was a calamity!
A few unlucky citizens of the Federation laid on the ground as they witnessed the calamity unfolding.
"This outcome is too exaggerated considering the shaking of space, right? How could it so coincidentally destroy entire Flor Reservoir?"
Fang Yuan gazed at the overflowing reservoir and realised something. "It seems like there is an ally helping us... It is likely that the entire laboratory has exploded!"
"Hmm? I've found it."
Releasing his Spiritual Arena, Fang Yuan's eyebrows twitched as he flew towards a particular direction.
"Wait for me!"
Amun and the other mutants quickly followed. Soon after, they saw two people hugging as they flew out of the water. They were Charlie and Sauron.
"We have failed..."
Both of them looked extremely pitiful. Charlie had lost both of his legs and Sauron was missing a right arm.
"We have lost control of the Demon Weapon and even the backup chip in her brain is not working..."
Sauron let out a bitter smile.
