Chapter 1023: Defying Death
“I finally succeeded at the very last moment, but this is also one of the last trump cards I have prepared!”
Fang Yuan stood tall with a luminosity in hand, showing a dim light outside.
“He’s bluffing!” the Abominable Lord roared. “Mere world coordinates? Hmm? This world…”
That light was certainly the coordinates of a certain world, but the aura exuded scared the Abominable Lord. “Is there a world stronger than the Mental Demon Realm? No… Impossible!”
“Let’s begin!”
Fang Yuan shut his eyes and started communicating with the world coordinates.
The next moment!
Flash!
Endless white light fell from the void.
Infinite light! Infinite life! Unending! Reaching eternity!
“This is…” Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers shouted, “The World of Confucian, the Grand Festival of Heaven and Earth?!”
That’s right! Fang Yuan was currently using the Grand Festival of Heaven and Earth that Sun Shengru had used to seek power from a certain world.
However, what he did was millions of times more powerful than Sun Shengru.
There were two conditions to achieve this.
First was the coordinates of the advanced Huaxia civilization world. Fang Yuan originally thought that he did not have it but later discovered that it was imprinted in his True Spirit. Furthermore, his first world had a deep connection to that advanced civilization. He himself was the coordinates!
Second was the corresponding array ritual. Sun Shengru had shown it to him previously.
Of course, there was a need to adjust it since it was a different world and a different user.
What Fang Yuan had realized before was precisely about this aspect.
“Your wandering child in another world calls upon you with a sincere heart. Let your infinite luminosity come forth!”
How terrifying would the Grand Festival of Heaven and Earth be now that he displayed it with his Netherheaven body?
In the blink of an eye, a vast gap opened, and unlimited light burst out.
Rumble!
The Five Netherheaven Lock Array broke in that short five moments.
“No!” A voice full of resentment came. The infinite light enveloped Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers, and her body melted. Only the pure power of her Great Dao appeared and merged into the world, becoming nourishment for it.
It was the same for the other three Netherheaven Demon Gods.
“How… powerful. It’s likely an attack at the Dao Fruit realm.”
Fang Yuan was full of praise.
Of course, he also knew the reason for it.
The first point was because he was at the Netherheaven realm and had obtained it through his own hardship. With him personally presiding over the ritual, it had easily attracted attention.
The second was because with original Huaxia coordinates he had on him, it spared no effort in supporting him.
“Of course, this could be one of the reasons why the Mental Demon Realm didn’t accept me and even abandoned me…”
Fang Yuan felt slightly disappointed.
Soon after, the endless white light completely broke the dark realm and wrapped the Abominable Lord within it.
“Ahh! I hate!” the Abominable Lord roared. His body turned illusory, and Great Daos flew out.
Seven Emotions Great Dao, Six Desires Great Dao, Universe Great Dao, Sin Great Dao… Great Daos that Fang Yuan understood and Great Dao that he did not converged. There was a total of eighty-one Great Daos, and only the last one was slightly illusory.
These Great Daos folded into each other and formed a certain Dao Fruit!
“Dao Fruit realm? A breakthrough before death? Impossible!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes widened. “Without me, the core of the Abominable Lord’s Great Dao will never reach perfection, let alone ascending to the Dao Fruit realm… Is he burning away his natural source to create an illusionary Dao Fruit for a last fight?”
Nonetheless, even a half-step Dao Fruit was terrifying.
This Dao Fruit was round on the top and square at the bottom. Its edges were irregular, which made Fang Yuan think of chaos, and it had many small faces with a number of emotions.
With merely one look, it represented a heaven and earth ultimate truth, primordial chaos, and sent out all sorts of information.
“Original Sin Dao Fruit?! Trouble!”
Fang Yuan bit his lips.
At this moment, his attack was only at the level of the Dao Fruit realm thanks to borrowing the power of the high-level Huaxia civilization world’s ability to tear through worlds and quantizing it.
However, the Abominable Lord burning his natural source could actually manifest a Dao Fruit. Even though it was not very stable and would dissipate after a short while, there was no doubt that he had fifty percent of the power of the Dao Fruit realm!
That infinite light that was everywhere was pushed aside by the Original Sin Dao Fruit for the first time.
“Ah! The mighty Mental Demon Realm, I am your people, and I hope to get your support!” Instead of leaving, the Abominable Lord started communicating with the Mental Demon Realm’s will. “There is a Demon God here who has betrayed your will and attracted the invasion of a more powerful world!
“I hope you will bestow upon me the power to destroy them!”
…
Obviously, with the Abominable Lord’s strength, he would definitely be in contact with heaven’s will of the Mental Demon Realm.
A few simple words immediately obtained a response from heaven and earth.
“The higher the strength, the easier it is to be in contact with a world’s will. However, the Abominable Lord actually rejected the Heavenly Dao and created a God Nation previously. He’ll have to pay a lot now that he is bowing down to the world’s will… He just had the chance to escape but didn’t, so it’s obvious that he wants to kill me even if it costs him dearly!”
Fang Yuan looked solemn.
Kaboom!
The Mental Demon Realm roared.
They were within this world after all. Regardless of whether it was getting a response or enhancement, it would be much faster than Fang Yuan. There was no need for an array to assist either.
The sky was dark, and clouds with fish scales appeared.
In Fang Yuan’s opinion, these clouds were transformed from Mental Demon origin power.
This was true origin power. One drop of it could make a Demon Master. But at this time, it was like an ocean!
All kinds of mysterious auras submerged into the Abominable Lord in an instant, allowing his Dao Fruit to stabilize temporarily.
Fang Yuan’s face changed. He felt as though the origin power in his body that he originally had perfect command of wanted to rebel.
Fortunately, he had been cultivating by himself all this time and had not received any help from the Mental Demon Realm’s will. Therefore, he managed to suppress it with just a thought.
“Haha… This is within the Mental Demon Realm. Die!” the Abominable Lord shouted, elated with the results.
“Run!” Fang Yuan’s eyes narrowed and entered chaos following the response of the infinite light.
“You won’t be able to escape!” The Abominable Lord did not even think before entering the same chaos.
Regardless of whether it was a low or high dimension, chaos was the mainstay of all things. Every world in the chaos was like the stars in the universe, just a drop in the ocean.
Two forces constantly clashed against each other in the turbulent and chaotic currents. The terrible energy directly rejected the chaos currents, forming a vacuum that spanned millions of kilometers. It even spread to several small worlds, bringing disaster to them.
Of the two forces, one was infinite light, and the other was eternal darkness. They were like two sides of Taiji, constantly rotating and wearing down each other.
“Abominable Lord, you can’t kill me!” Fang Yuan basked in the infinite light. “I might not be your opponent in the Mental Demon Realm, but here, without a world’s suppression, you are not my opponent!”
“The world you are relying on might be powerful, but the distance of transmission consumes the power… I am very assured of the outcome!” The voice of the Abominable Lord transmitted from the Dao Fruit, driving endless Mental Demon power. “You will die here today and fulfill my Dao Fruit!”
“Damn it…” Fang Yuan saw this scene, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “That Huaxia World might seem like its half a level higher than the Mental Demon Realm, but the distance is indeed too far away, and the loss is large. Most importantly, my realm is not as high as that of the Abominable Lord!”
He was at initial Netherheaven, while the other party was at half-step Dao Fruit. The gap was wide.
“It seems like… I had become anxious once I entered the Mental Demon Realm. Was it the influence of the Mental Demon’s will? Am I only an external Demon in its eyes after all? In that case…”
Fang Yuan made up his mind and started rushing upward toward that world of infinite light.
This was both a delay and a way of losing his strength before increasing it again.
The Abominable Lord might have obtained the help of the Mental Demon’s heaven’s will to stabilize at half-step Dao Fruit, but there had to be a time limit.
In addition, the power provided by a world was naturally consumed based on the distance.
Previously, he was battling in the Mental Demon Realm, which was very unfavorable for him. After reaching the chaos, he recovered a little. As he approached the coordinates, the consumption of the infinite light got lesser and lesser, while the consumption of the Mental Demon Realm continued to increase.
“Die!” The Abominable Lord decided to give chase.
He knew that he still had an advantage at least at this distance.
“Go go go!!!”
Fang Yuan fused into the infinite light, and his speed in the chaos was simply shocking. “Where is that high-level Huaxia civilization world? I’ll be dead if it suddenly withdraws! But… I am… rising?”
He was shocked to find that as he approached the coordinates, he was heading up, similar to soaring!
“All right! My guess was right. That Huaxia civilization world is one dimension higher than the Mental Demon Realm… No, it might not be a whole dimension but half a dimension, which is why it’s still in this cosmic dimension?
“Abominable Lord, keep chasing after me!
“After this trillion kilometers, we’ll be halfway through. This is a turning point. The consumption from both the Mental Demon Realm and the Huaxia projection will be the same!”
Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly. “It won’t be you hunting me, but me hunting you then!”
Rumble!
The two rays of light, one black and one white, sped through the chaos, passing by countless worlds, making the souls in them tremble.
Finally, Fang Yuan reached the critical point.
He flew across the midline without hesitation.
“Ahh!!!” the Abominable Lord roared. He knew that he would be at a disadvantage if this were to carry on.
“You can’t run. Dao Fruit disintegrate! Offer sacrifice! I will struggle to the death!” he bellowed. The Original Sin Dao Fruit actually began melting.
A strange red power connected him and Fang Yuan in that instant, and a crazy voice came forth. “Either you perish, or I perish!”
