Chapter 1009: Line of Defense
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Mecha Cultivation World, Fang Yuan had once defeated the Abominable Lord and used the Heaven Devouring Mystic Technique to devour the nomological rules of the Abominable Lord’s Great Dao.
In fact, this was the ebb and flow of destiny.
Through researching the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Daos and other nomological rules that the Abominable Lord had left behind, he had gained a deep understanding of his ways.
He immediately began unraveling the nomological rules of the Pit of Misery.
“The Abominable Lord is most proficient with the power of emotions… To satisfy the Pit of Misery, I actually only need the most intense power of emotions. My Dao of Dream Master can provide considerable assistance in this area…”
His Creation Great Dao had developed from the initial Dream Master seed and could be considered to share a common origin with the Abominable Lord’s Dao path, so it was a great tool for unraveling the rules.
“If there is a Demon God that can circumvent the restriction set by the Abominable Lord among the Mental Demons, it must be me… He must have never considered this.”
Fang Yuan dived into the sea of souls and saw a restriction that looked like a purple electric net.
“Dao of Creation, power of emotions, open for me!” he shouted. The Creation Great Dao appeared and agglomerated the ultimate power of emotions. He cleverly guided this power and silently opened a gap in the net.
Fang Yuan licked his lips and stepped in.
Rumble!
Everything around him suddenly changed!
This place seemed to be a small plane. The sky and earth were grey except for a small city in the center.
Multicolored balls of light filled most of the space.
“As expected, the Abominable Lord went out to hunt me!” His eyes brightened. “But… this lair has some tough defense!”
The multicolored lights outside the City of Pain were obviously a defensive measure.
However, the more that this was the case, the more excited Fang Yuan became because the Abominable Lord must have hidden many good things in his lair.
“Multicolored lights?”
Fang Yuan stepped forward and poked the light gently. Immediately, thoughtfulness filled his eyes. “Dream Projection? Not even Netherheaven Demon Gods could break this silently because none of them are proficient with deciphering dreams.”
This dream barrier was clearly designed to resist other Demon Gods.
However, Fang Yuan was its nemesis.
He roared in a low voice and extended his left hand.
Rumble!
The multicolored lights expanded at an incredible pace and then devoured Fang Yuan’s figure in an instant.
…
“The tables will turn! Don’t underestimate poor youths!”
A youth covered in blood stood tall despite the wounds all over his body and blood flowing from his face. “You robbed my fiancée and damaged my reputation. Do you dare bet that I, Wang Tianming, will surpass you in three years?!”
“Psycho. Go beat him to death!”
Opposite the youth was a rich young master in brocade clothes. He dug his ears. “I don’t know why, but that line is rather familiar… You’re not the first one to say it to me.”
“Understood!”
Two middle-aged lackeys in black lunged at the youth.
While the defiant youth cried out in agony, the young master was lost in thought. “Don’t underestimate poor youths… Don’t underestimate… Hold on, I-I remember!”
After clearing his thoughts, Fang Yuan broke the mystery of the dream and recovered his memory.
I am Netherheaven Demon God Fang Yuan. In the process of unraveling the Abominable Lord’s dream protection… I’m already in the dream now!!!
Upon careful recollection, he remembered his identity in the dream. He was the son of the Noble Mountain Sect Master, Fang Xu! Not only did he have Pugilistic World tycoon parents that doted him, but he was also extremely talented. At the age of eighteen, he had cultivated to the Connate realm and was known by the alias ‘Drizzle Sword’, having a small reputation.
On top of that, he was born handsome and dashing, indistinctly holding the title of the most handsome man in the Pugilistic World, sweeping countless girls off their feet. Who knew how many fantasized about being with him.
As for the fiancée of the Wang Tianming in front of him, she had come to him on her own initiative. Fang Xu naturally did not reject and cuckolded him.
The youth was so furious that he came to challenge him. However, he ended up beaten like a dead dog.
The standard but overused, melodramatic, face-slapping, engagement-breaking plot… Will this kid suddenly become strong? Or maybe he has a cheat?
Fang Yuan was slightly shocked and then chucked. This dream realm protection is really…
In fact, those lost in dreams often immersed themselves in beautiful things. Even if they knew it was not real, they would not want to escape.
For example, the experience this time for Fang Yuan was a winner in life, the template of a tall, handsome, and rich man.
If his True Spirit had not managed to wake up, then his life would be smooth sailing without a bit of hardship or any setbacks. It would be a joyous ride throughout life.
Only this kind of dream would make people lose themselves within it.
Otherwise, physical and emotional suffering would make it easy for someone to realize that they were in a dream.
But now that I’ve woken up, the dream will change! Fang Yuan shook his head. This Fang Xu had a smooth-sailing life, but now that my True Spirit has awakened, the entire world will make me its enemy.
In other words, his fate as a heaven’s chosen would change.
On the other hand, those who opposed him would be able to benefit everywhere and progress swiftly.
Such as… this lucky bastard in front of me!
Fang Yuan’s voice raised slightly at the thought. “Zhang Long, Zhao Hu… beat him with all your strength! Beat him until he dies!”
At the same time, he surveyed his surroundings and checked out his new body. “It looks real yet isn’t, like a dream… This world is unexpectedly no different from the real world. It has the same strict nomological rules!
“To unravel this dream world, the first method is by force. This obviously won’t work in the Abominable Lord’s setup. In that case, the only way out is the second method—adapt to the situation and try to find flaws!”
This kind of situation was even more difficult than the crossing over of Netherheaven Demon Gods.
After all, Netherheaven Demon Gods could still use their Dark Side Heavenly Dao to counteract the power of a Heavenly Dao and regain a portion of their strength.
However, there was no such good thing in the Abominable Lord’s dream world.
Unless the degree of unraveling the dream world increases, you had to play by the dream’s rules.
“But still, this world is way too realistic. I can’t detect any false spots even with my abilities!”
Once he found a false spot, he could use that flaw in the dream world to break through directly.
This situation he was in was the most troublesome.
Fang Yuan could only helplessly play the role of Fang Xu and continue with being the son of a powerful family.
“Fang Xu, I’ll remember this!” Wang Tianming’s voice was brimming with hatred as he rolled on the ground.
“Sorry, I’m always quick to forget the wails of ants. Hurry up and kill him!”
Fang Yuan’s expression turned cold and, at the same time, slightly curious.
“Understood!” Zhang Long grinned as he pulled out a steel dagger.
“What are you doing?” Just then, a delightful voice that was as clear as water sounded.
Whoosh whoosh!
A green figure flashed past, and the two lackeys flew backward. “You dare kill in broad daylight?”
With a fragrant breeze, an exquisite and delicate face appeared.
“It’s you! Ling Xian’er?” Fang Yuan frowned. Playing his role perfectly, he smiled. “Sister Lin is here! A rare guest! A distinguished guest!”
“I don’t dare to accept!”
Ling Xian’er helped Wang Tianming to his feet, her face full of anger. “Daddy always told me that the Noble Mountain Sect is a righteous sect. Who would have thought that their young sect master was such a bully!”
Fang Yuan knocked his brain and recalled a lot of information. Ling Xian’er’s father, the leader of the Great River Alliance, a top expert at Connate perfection?
There were no magical powers nor spiritual techniques in this world, only martial arts, and the various sects had a strong influence over the world.
This Fang Xu was a genius, but he had only just entered the Connate realm. He was naturally lacking compared to the experts at the perfection stage.
Unfortunately… I can’t use much of my true strength yet…
Fang Yuan carefully examined Fang Xu’s body. There was a pure energy in the body, which should be the inner force of this world.
However, even if it was enough to deal with the young man and woman before him, he would definitely not stand a chance against her father, the leader of the Great River Alliance.
If you are killed in a dream world, even if it isn’t real, dying will make you immerse yourself deeper into the dream and become unable to extricate yourself. After all, this is someone else’s dream world!
Fang Yuan pursed his lips. I’m riding a tiger and unable to get off now. If this girl runs away with Wang Tianming, it will certainly become trouble later.
Fang Yuan’s expression grew cold at the thought, and he started to think about the possibility of murder.
But the next moment, a barely noticeable aura revealed itself, and Fang Yuan had to suppress his killing intent. There’s someone hidden nearby, and he’s an expert. Is it Ling Xian’er’s father?
Dream worlds were the home field of Dream Masters, and they were practically omnipotent in them.
However, Fang Yuan’s situation was different because this was no ordinary dream world. Even worse, the Abominable Lord had personally set it up.
Before finding any flaws or loopholes, he could use none of his abilities, and he could only fight the enemy using Fang Xu’s cultivation.
Although I can kill these two, I’ll definitely die in the counterattack…
Fang Yuan looked at Ling Xian’er and cupped his hands. “You two can leave. I wonder why Miss Xian’er has come here?”
She was a renowned Pugilistic World heroine with the backing of the Great River Alliance and rarely interacted with the Noble Mountain Sect.
