Chapter 1000: Counterattack
Poof!
Light flashed.
Fang Yuan descended from the large teleportation array and turned a corner without a change in expression, causing no doubt among the Demon Soldiers.
This was also because there were more than ten large teleportations arrays spitting out new people all the time.
“After changing places a few times and completely removing my traces, I can be on my way!”
Fang Yuan was rather clear about the general structure of the Mental Demon Realm owing to Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment’s memories.
“This place… should be the Holy City of Fresh Flowers, a place ruled by a Netherheaven Demon God-level Sacred Lord… The Black Flame Territory seems like a backcountry in comparison.
“After leaving the city and crossing a desert, I’ll reach the Original Sin Demon Territory.
“It is very strange in the Original Sin Demon Territory. There aren’t any large teleportation arrays, so you have to move on your own.”
…
Fang Yuan changed his face again and walked on the streets, looking around curiously.
The Demons here seemed to be slightly different from the Demons of the Black Flame Territory.
Even though Demon Gods might just be small Demon Spirits at the source, the direction of advancement was ever-changing.
Aside from the Black Flame Territory’s Demons, the Holy City of Fresh Flowers had males and females in human form. At first glance, it would seem as though this city was mainly human.
“However, this is also the reason for the city… In the wilderness, Demon Spirits run wild and devour each other, even more terrifying than hell…”
Fang Yuan came to a restaurant and sat down but thought of even more questions. “It seems like the Mental Demon Realm itself can’t supply so many Demon Spirits, so they must be plundered…”
Low-level Demon Spirits had to devour each other to advance to Demon General or even Demon Master.
They were still essential food for high-level Demons even now.
This was true everywhere in the Mental Demon Realm, and the consumption was naturally terrifying!
“The Demon Spirits are also a type of soul, a type of resource… I’m afraid even simple reincarnation can’t be done in the Mental Demon Realm and must be plundered…”
Any overlord’s first reaction if they discovered a new world would be to lead an insidious army to invade, kill, and plunder souls.
In the end, even that world might be devoured.
This was also why the Mental Demon Realm was so vast. It was the result of devouring many large worlds.
“It’s just… I feel this method isn’t that safe. What if they completely plunder all the souls?”
Devouring the Demon Supremacy Wish Fulfillment had brought Fang Yuan insights from many Demon Gods, which was naturally no simple matter.
It had also made him aware that the recent Mental Demon Realm was in a major cycle of decline.
The number of Demon Spirits would decline once the supply of souls ran out. And once the needs of the high-level Demons could not be met, they would set their sights on one another.
The calamity of war formed in this way, and even Demon Gods could not escape!
The intensity of war in the Mental Demon Realm had increased a lot in recent years.
The evidence was in Demon God Myriad Thunder’s small group’s desire to forcibly go to the Spiritual Realm and everything that happened afterward!
“The decline of a world is something rare…”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
He originally thought that the Mental Demon Realm was comparable to the Spiritual Realm. But now, it would not be excessive to say that the Mental Demon Realm was the most powerful world in this universe.
Once it fell to a certain level, it might cause an avalanche effect that affected the entire universe.
Of course, the decline of a world was a very slow process. Even though it was almost irreversible, it would take a long time, perhaps requiring tens of thousands of years.
Fang Yuan sighed, tossed it out of his mind, and looked at the dishes that the waiter served.
In front of him were blooming buds, flowers, and petals.
After lightly touching the buds, a big bowl-shaped flower larger than that of peony bloomed flamboyantly, revealing crystal nectar that seemed as though he could pick it out with chopsticks.
Fang Yuan finished it and praised, “Hmm… Quite tasty!”
This nectar wine was similar to the Frozen Flame Demon Fruit that Demon Master Li Gou had brought out for him. They provided elemental force, the effect of which was more than a few dozen Demon Spirit Worms combined.
The method of making it was slightly cruel. One of the essential steps was using Demon Spirits as fertilizers.
“It’s quite a bit of a hassle to get through the desert and reach the Original Sin Demon Territory. After all, this desert is famous for being dangerous in the Mental Demon Realm.”
Yes, Fang Yuan’s destination in the Mental Demon Realm was the lair of the Abominable Lord, the Original Sin Demon Territory!
It might be a little dangerous, but nothing came without risk.
He had to go there if he wanted to fight the Abominable Lord.
Moreover, there might be other unexpected effects.
“It’s better to buy some tools to get through that perilous land to preserve energy… I heard there’s a three-hump demon camel…”
Fang Yuan gazed out of the window, lost in thought.
Kaboom!
The sky changed. The beautiful day clouded as silver snakes danced around.
A huge vortex emerged, forming a funnel, and an innumerable amount of lightning poured into it.
A powerful and expansive aura emerged, changing the expressions of those watching it.
“What’s… happening?”
Fang Yuan activated his Heavenly Eye Seer Spell. He could see the funnel and traces of the Dao Marks cracking open to show scenes of fish and insects in rivers and mountains, farmers plowing their land, scholars studying… Things that were not in sync with this world.
“Realm breaking… did something happen?”
The Mental Demon Demon Gods loved to plunder other worlds. Of course, they were unlikely to join forces because of various reasons, and there was nothing like coordination or a unified statement.
It was already something unimaginable for Demon God Myriad Thunder’s group to force their way into the Spiritual Realm together.
“Almost no world would be able to resist if all of the Demon Gods united. But a single Demon God could suffer a reversal and possibly even die…” Fang Yuan muttered. “Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers is already at Netherheaven. If she suffered a defeat…”
Of course, it was rare for Demons to think about consequences.
All the low-level Demons fled into shelters as soon as the sky changed.
“Demons!
“Demon Realm!
“You attacked my world and killed my people! I swear to avenge this hatred!”
…
A moment later, the black vortex expanded, and a world came into sight.
A figure walked out from that world.
He had a neat appearance, wore a blue shirt and a scarf, and held a scroll in hand, possessing a great Confucian temperament.
“In the world there is the spirit of righteousness, taking many forms… Please grant me the world’s help!”
At that moment, a white light suddenly fell through.
“Righteousness blessed by a world?”
Fang Yuan’s expression changed.
The next moment, this white light engulfed the entire Holy City of Fresh Flowers.
“Ah! Ah!”
“Save us!”
Those Demons with insufficient cultivation screamed and turned into ashes under this vast righteousness.
Even Demon Masters were in a poor state. They knelt on the ground with black smoke emitting from their bodies from time to time.
“How dare you!”
A furious voice came from the overlord’s mansion. The white light dissipated, but the Holy City had already suffered heavy damage.
“It’s impossible for anyone below Demon Master to survive this white light. Even Demon Masters must be seriously injured…”
Fang Yuan shook his head as he sighed.
Obviously, an accident had happened in the world invaded by the Netherheaven Scared Lord. Not only that, but it even made the other party angry and follow the way back, ready to launch a counterattack against the Mental Demon Realm!
However, this was the other party poking a hornet’s nest!
Attacking the other world was only Scared Lord Fresh Flowers’s matter. However, there was more than one Demon God like Fang Yuan in this city!
“What audacity!”
“You actually want to attack the Mental Demon Realm?”
“Hehe… Here for your death!”
The next moment, many powerful auras rose. Every one of them was a Demon God!
An overwhelming number of black palms rushed at the sky and grabbed at that illusionary thundercloud.
Even Fang Yuan went.
This was not joining forces against a common enemy, but fishing for benefits!
At least, the coordinates of that world would not be able to run.
“Why… are there so many?”
That great Confucian was also dumbfounded.
They had spent tremendous effort to finally expel Scared Lord Fresh Flowers and were preparing to annihilate the enemy thoroughly. But expectedly, there were so many Demon Gods in this world!
Moreover, once he was in the Mental Demon Realm, the world’s terrible suppression immediately came.
Mental Demon elemental force everywhere surged, ready to pollute the intrinsic quality of the other world.
“Be still, demons!”
That Confucian scholar used his finger as a pen and wrote golden words in the air.
These were nomological characters. Anyone seeing it knew what it meant—Fixate!
Buzz buzz!
Suddenly, the Void Amalgamation and Myriad Transformation Demon Gods stopped in midair.
“You’re bullying the people of my Mental Demon Realm!”
But in this stagnation, a huge purple hand with black runes broke through the restriction and attempted to enter the other party’s world.
Kaboom!
The thunder spread and danced. The huge hand weaved its way through, occasionally striking the other world like the wrath of heaven, bringing deep suffering.
“So there was a hidden Netherheaven Demon God!”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan gave up the idea of attacking and chose to keep a low profile. A trace of black lines appeared in the illusionary world and picked a plum blossom.
“I can visit it in the future with the world coordinates… The strongest person in that world is comparable to Netherheaven and could even make Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers drawback without any success. They must be pretty powerful!”
Fang Yuan sighed, and his eyes glowed.
“The demons are powerful. I have the mind to kill evil, but I lack the strength!”
The Confucian scholar sighed and frowned as he got ready to return.
But something happened in the next moment!
