Chapter 999: A Series of Unexpected Circumstances
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hmm, the power of this treasure… can even reduce a world’s resistance!”
A world itself had no consciousness. Only through the operation of a Heavenly Dao could it manifest preferences and repulsion.
For other worlds, Mental Demons were like a virus or even tumor, so naturally they were suppressed.
But with this Heaven Extermination Plate, they could expand their possibilities.
“Unfortunately… it’s not useful to me!” Fang Yuan sighed.
A Netherheaven Demon God’s Dark Heavenly Dao was enough to confront a world’s Heavenly Dao within a certain range, changing heaven and the earth and gaining the authority of a Creator.
This was akin to a robber who could already loot unscrupulously. What was the point in learning thieving skills?
At this moment, the purple patterns on the Heaven Extermination Plate seemed to come to life with his continuous input of elemental force. Bright light circulated as it pulsed slowly.
“Eh?” When Fang Yuan used the Heavenly Eye Seer Spell to examine the Heaven Extermination Plate, he got a shock. “The most important thing about the Heaven Extermination Plate isn’t the black disc. Instead, it is the purple runes. Even if it is incomplete, it has the effect of eliminating the nomological rules of a Heavenly Dao?”
Despite his astonishment, he concentrated his spiritual will and gathered it above the runes.
However, a scene that surprised Fang Yuan appeared.
The more he gathered his spiritual will, the more he felt the purple runes fluctuating. They were harder to understand than the Mental Demon Ancient Language.
“Looks like it was worth it!”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan decided to take out a cinnabar and talisman paper to try copying it.
Buzz buzz!
After putting a lot of thought into it, he finally began writing, copying the runes onto the talisman paper.
But the next moment, the Heavenly Dao roared.
Space distorted, and the talisman seemed to receive an attack, immediately shredding into pieces.
“Only one Dao rule?” Fang Yuan frowned. “I’ve heard that there are some natural runes with unimaginable power, and they have a unique characteristic where only one can exist.
“No… that’s not right. This Heaven Extermination Plate is also an imitation, and these runes are damaged…”
As he thought about this, he could not help exclaiming, “A damaged imitation has this much power, so how powerful is the original? Can a Netherheaven Demon God create this?”
After thinking about it for a moment, he denied this possibility. “Is this a Dao Fruit treasure?!”
At this point, even Fang Yuan felt his heart quiver.
The Dao Fruit realm was above Demon God and incomparably terrifying.
So far, there were only two items he had come across that might be related to the Dao Fruit realm.
The first was his own stats window. Even in the Netherheaven realm, he could not replicate it.
The second was this mysterious Heaven Extermination Plate.
Of course, this imitation did not mean anything. To Fang Yuan, it was merely an interesting gadget.
However, the original item was extraordinary. It was definitely worth taking a risk.
With this thought in mind, Fang Yuan felt calmer and began waiting for the Netherheaven Demon God behind Messiah to appear.
Time went by in a flash. Three years passed.
Within the overlord’s mansion.
Fang Yuan wore a light white robe. He was holding a brush and writing furiously.
The dragon-snake transformed into a blade, and a rune appeared vividly on the paper. As though it were alive, it was continuously swimming.
Buzz buzz!
The air surged as an enormous force approached.
It was as if this rune’s existence was a violation to this world and had to be destroyed.
Even so, this talisman radiated with light, resisting countless waves of attacks. After one-and-a-half hours, the paper slowly and reluctantly reduced to ashes.
“Did it automatically eliminate the power of the Heavenly Dao? Unbelievable. I didn’t even input any energy into it!”
Fang Yuan was shocked.
This situation was bizarre. This meant that even if a mortal drew these runes on the most ordinary piece of paper, it would still have power. It was simply baffling!
“It was able to last one-and-a-half hours. More than enough in an actual battle!”
Fang Yuan named this set of runes the ‘Heaven Extermination Truth’ and used talisman paper. Even though it was only practice, at this level, he could easily use it in battle…
“It’s just… using it to temporarily obliterate the power of a Heavenly Dao in the vicinity… Honestly, Netherheaven Demon Gods can do the same thing. My Devour and Heaven Devouring Great Daos have better effects. At best, I can use it to catch someone off guard and scare them off…
“Of course, since what I’ve been learning are incomplete runes, the power is weaker. I wonder how much power the actual Heaven Extermination Plate possesses?
“Unfortunately… I deliberately stayed and waited, but the other party didn’t come. I don’t have that much time for this…”
The Abominable Lord must have already realized that he had already left the Spiritual Realm and was now in the Mental Demon Realm. And the Abominable Lord would pull out all the stops to hunt him down.
If he stayed somewhere too long, he risked being found.
Even though Fang Yuan was confident in his isolation and concealment skills, the Abominable Lord was not a simple character and might have mastered a unique ability or power.
When he came to the Mental Demon Realm, he wanted to take the initiative and firmly grasp opportunities, so he naturally could not be found.
“I set a three-year limit for myself. Unfortunately…”
Fang Yuan shook his head and went to the teleportation arrays.
“Greetings, Overlord!”
The Demon Soldiers and Demon Masters guarding the teleportation arrays appeared and immediately bowed.
“Paying respects to Lord Demon God!”
Seeing this, the other Demons knew that they had met the mysterious Netherheaven Demon God. They followed suit and bowed.
A Netherheaven had appeared in the Black Flame Territory. Of course, this news spread like wildfire.
Unfortunately, the Mental Demon Realm was far too vast. Even if the Demon Gods that were really interested in Fang Yuan rushed over, it would take several years.
Furthermore, Void Amalgamation and Myriad Transformations Demon Gods were embarrassed to request a meeting.
For the past three years, Fang Yuan had truly enjoyed his peace and quiet, and he had not been disturbed.
Fang Yuan waved his hand and ordered, “Start the large teleportation array!”
After becoming the overlord, there was another advantage—he could use the large teleportation array as much as he liked and did not have to pay either!
“Understood!”
Even though the Demon Master guarding this place was somewhat stunned, he dared not say a word and obediently started the array.
The seals opened layer-by-layer, and a giant emerald formation altar appeared. There were eight pillars erected around it, with various incantations inscribed on them.
At this moment, lightning shot out from the pillars and gathered at the center of the array, opening a strange portal.
“If I were a Demon God who had mastered a Space Great Dao, I could move through the void myself. Too bad…”
Fang Yuan sighed while entering the lightning portal.
Rumble!
Lightning flashed, and his figure disappeared instantly.
…
However, Fang Yuan did not know that soon after he left, Demon God Messiah brought a black-robed man to the Black Flame Territory.
“Master, this is the place!” Messiah pointed at Black Flame Capital. But the next moment, the alarm in her voice came through even from behind the mask. “No… that Demon God… he left!”
At this moment, Messiah felt like stabbing Fang Yuan hundreds of times.
Earlier, he had tried every possible means to obtain the secrets and origin of the Heaven Extermination Plate, but now, he had not hesitated to leave just like that! Too shameless! Shameless to the extreme!
“Haha. Interesting!”
The black-robed man had a hoarse voice. When he stepped out, space seemed to warp, and they immediately arrived at the capital.
Outside the large array, the seals shattered one after another to reveal the array.
“Judging from the space fluctuations remaining, it seems like he just left…”
The black-robed man stretched out his shriveled black palm and placed it on the array, sensing many things. “He headed… east. Around…”
When she heard this, Messiah’s eyes lit up. “Master, should we follow him immediately?”
“Of course! We can’t let the Heaven Extermination Plate go. Furthermore, this imitation is the best out of the nine…”
The black-robed man smiled lightly. He stood before the array, extended both hands, and tore outward.
Whoosh!
The large teleportation array shattered immediately, and a transparent opening appeared.
Even after seeing him wreaking havoc, the soldiers and Demon Master were like sculptures, not moving a muscle.
“Hehe…” Messiah laughed and snapped her fingers. The sculptures shattered, turning into snow that scattered onto the ground.
“If we go through this portal, we should be able to get to that Demon God. But he’s very sly, so we might have to go through several places first!” the black-robed Demon God said that in a low voice. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly halted. “This aura…”
Rumble!
A black shadow covered the entire capital.
A terrifying aura projected down, turning into many evil emotions.
Demons with lower cultivation would have descended into shock after seeing the source of these emotions. After that, they would fall mad and die!
One should not directly view or talk about the depths of evil!
“Abominable Lord?” the black-robed man said in a low voice.
“Are you that brat?” A loud voice resounded. Soon after, a large black palm slammed down from the clouds.
Even the Abominable Lord felt exasperated.
After all, Fang Yuan was too slippery. Furthermore, he had the Dao of Dream Master, and pretending to be another Demon God was simple.
“Abominable Lord, you’re going too far!” the black-robed man shouted coldly. Several black lotuses bloomed behind him.
The petals floated out, creating a vortex that swallowed the giant palm.
From the dark shadows above, the Abominable Lord’s rough voice came. “So it’s you…”
