Chapter 463: Retreat
Planet Earth Realm was a realm with harsh physical laws and even Sages would be rendered powerless here.
With the invasion of the Spiritual Realm in the form of the Spiritual King Comet, the introduction of spiritual energy in the realm slowly led to the existences of mutants and special techniques.
Therefore, the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell which Fang Yuan had created was more suited for the Spiritual Realm than for Planet Earth Realm. Therefore, it would require the supplement of spiritual droplets.
If not for the fact that Fang Yuan had absorbed a few spiritual energy nodes previously, he would not have been able to advance in his cultivation so quickly.
This was also the same for Long Lizi, Venerable Moonchaser and Farquhar.
Before the fourth occurrence, no one would be able to attain the 5th Tier. This was why all of them were being defeated by Ancestor Red Cloud so easily.
They were unlike Fang Yuan who could achieve whatever level of cultivation as long as he had the resources without being restricted by bottlenecks.
Cultivators of the East had to train in seclusion while mutants from the west will have to increase their abilities over time. Both processes would take a long period of time.
However, things were different for Fang Yuan!
With the nourishment from the surroundings and the fact that he had just defeated 3 Area Beings and absorbed their spiritual energy, it was as though he had just consumed 3 nutritious pills and his cultivation in Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell had started to surge!
In his stats window, the proficiency bar transformed from 99.99% to 100%! There were huge changes in the window now:
"Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 100
Spirit: 100
Magic: 100
Profession: Dream Soldier Master
Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (4th Tier), True Divine, Area Being (???)
Technique: [Pangu Eagle Body (? ? ?)], [8 Gates Sword Array (5th Sword) (10%)], [Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell (Grade 5 (Completed))]
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 would grant you the possession of the Spiritual Arena! The 5th Grade is completed! The Spiritual Arena has been promoted to a Spiritual Territory!"
The previously small arena started to unfold as though a scroll as being opened.
Within the Area, Fang Yuan could feel as though he was in control of everything.
This was the power of the Area!
"Although the Area Beings here are still weaker than those in Da Qian due to the fact that the worlds are different, as long as I have the opportunity, I will be able to achieve a breakthrough easily back in Da Qian!"
He could feel that his Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell was totally different from before. With the advancement of his Arena to an Area, Fang Yuan was extremely satisfied.
"I am not only a True Divine but also an Area Being in terms of my mind! I have achieved breakthroughs in all three aspects! Even Elder Extreme Darkness is no match for me now!"
"Rumble!"
At this point in time, everyone could feel that the huge Spiritual King Island on the ocean was undergoing a certain change.
After a huge explosion, the space around started to vibrate violently and even Fang Yuan himself could feel the departure of a certain powerful realm.
That was the Spiritual Realm’s will doing all it could to sever all ties with this realm. Furthermore, it no longer cared about the spiritual energy it had once invested in this realm as well as the cultivators it had brought along with it to invade the realm. Everything was being given up.
Such determination from the Spiritual Realm’s will shocked even Fang Yuan and it gave everyone the shudders.
’Initially, I thought that the realm of dream masters would be more powerful than the Spiritual Realm but... who would’ve thought... the disparity is too huge...’
Only a hint of spiritual aura from the dream masters’ realm was needed to send the Spiritual Realm scrambling back. Even Fang Yuan was stunned and shocked.
...
In the Spiritual Realm.
The rivers were flowing in the mountains and a few powerful beings descended with a grand entrance.
"I can feel the urgency of the will of the realm!"
As soon as they arrived at the ocean, they gazed towards the huge island where the two realms had collided and remained speechless. "From previous observations, that realm should have minimal ability to fight back!"
"Things must have changed to result in what had happened today!"
The will of a powerful being was heard from the side. "If not for the fact that we are afraid of being targeted by the realm’s will, none of us would have left such an important mission to our subordinates!"
"Crackle!"
At this moment, the skies turned dark and streaks of lightning appeared, striking the island in the middle.
"Rumble!"
As the lightning struck, the island disintegrated and the intersection of the realms started to crack, opening up a void in the middle.
"Oh no, the transference array has failed!"
Another powerful being started to predict the happenings. "Our subordinates are still in that realm!"
"How can the will of our realm be so determined to sacrifice them?!"
A few others exchanged glances and felt that something had gone wrong.
With that, they released their spiritual will and could detect a hint of spiritual aura.
"That is..."
"The Demonic Heart Realm!!! This is bad! Quickly seal off the connection and segregate the two worlds!"
Even the powerful being who had lost most of his subordinates was actively trying to execute techniques to seal the connection.
He no longer cared about how many disciples or concubines he had left behind in the other realm.
This was because the Demonic Heart Realm was rumoured to be the most vicious realm in the entire universe!
The Spiritual Realm had once collided with the Demonic Heart Realm and the price to pay was the death of most of its population.
This was because the strongest spiritual aura of the Demonic Heart Realm was like a plague which could be spread through any type of medium. It preferred cultivators and would most likely spread to these people.
The mighty and powerful Demonic Heart Realm left a lasting impression in the hearts of the powerful beings of the Spiritual Realm.
"May the will of the realm assist me!"
"Purple Lightning, 9 Dragons Extreme Array!"
"East Green Wood, Sky Blocking Canopies!"
Every powerful being was strengthening the seal and cutting of the connection between the realms.
The will of the Spiritual Realm was continuously transferring energy to help out the process and finally, it had come to an end.
The illusionary shadow of the devastated island drifted further and further away and soon disappeared.
"Phew... We are fortunate!"
"No one knew that there would be such a desperate person in that other realm who will be willing to sacrifice everything!"
"These are the dangers of realm hunting. We are fortunate enough to have stopped it in time and prevent any disaster!"
The few powerful beings gathered together and were deep in their thoughts.
What about those people who were left behind in Planet Earth Realm? No one would care about them any more.
...
"The collision of the two realms has been reverted... What a good move!"
On Planet Earth Realm, Fang Yuan witnessed everything but did not interfere with the process.
After all, even though he was at the level of a powerful being in terms of his spiritual and martial arts, he was still a long way from becoming a Sage. Previously, he had leveraged on the will of Planet Earth to help him fend off the invaders and therefore, he would not stupidly give chase.
"With this, my efforts are not in vain!"
He gazed at his right palm. In it, there was an illusionary green glow which took the form of a green tree branch.
"I now have the coordinates of the Spiritual Realm and I will be sure to visit it someday in the future!"
The Spiritual Realm had already given up on the invasion and therefore, these few fighters would lose their source of energy. With enough time, these cultivators would slowly be digested by the realm. To Planet Earth, this time, not only had it escaped the invasion of another realm, it had instead increased in spiritual energy in the form of these fighters.
This was taking into account that they could settle another problem.
"The Demonic Heart Realm!"
Fang Yuan raised his head up and could see an expanding black hole above him.
Strictly speaking, although Fang Yuan had communicated with the dream masters’ realm, he did not initiate the collision of the realms. After all, considering the foundations of Planet Earth, it was impossible for it to a complete collision with another realm.
However, just the spiritual aura and the strength from the Demonic Heart Realm was enough to send the Spiritual Realm fleeing and this was something no one had expected.
Although they had used the tiger to chase the wolf away, they now had to deal with the tiger.
’This was originally a crippled array. The foundations of Planet Earth is weak and I have only communicated with the dream masters’ realm and used up a little bit of power. This should not be enough for me to form a stable connection to allow anything to enter...’
Fang Yuan gazed at the black hole and started to collect his thoughts.
Furthermore, his actualised dream world was activated as well as he continuously absorbed the purest form of dream elemental energy from the Demonic Heart Realm.
’In conclusion, this was something bad and something good. The good thing is that Planet Earth will now be similar to Da Qian since both are now covered in the radiation of dream elemental energy. From today onwards, there will be dream masters on Planet Earth and this place will be the playground for dream masters... but the bad thing...’
"Rumble!"
From the black hole, the space warped as though a certain being was forcing its way through the boundaries of the realms. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the realms, it was unsuccessful.
Everyone felt fear at that moment.
"Is this a... higher-tiered realm? This is too captivating..."
Below, the Werewolf’s First Ancestor, Jon, gazed at the black hole and was in a trance. He did not notice that streaks of silver dream elemental force had already seeped into his hair.
"Crack! Crack!"
In that instant, his shoulders had crumbled and from both sides of his body, there were two heads growing out. A pair of bat wings were also growing from his back and in that instant, he had transformed into a monster!
"Jon... you!"
Curtly sounded different this time. Within moments, he was being sliced into two pieces by the claws of the wolf and his head fell into the wolf’s mouth.
"Oh, sh*t!"
Fang Yuan witnessed the scene and understood everything. "The pure dream elemental force has resulted in the over-mutation of Jon..."
The dream masters of Da Qian would make use of their magical energy to control the dream elemental force. After processing the dream elemental force, they would be able to transfer it to their actualised dream world.
Now, because of the illusionary connection, although physical bodies could not pass, pure dream elemental force could flow through without any resistance.
These cultivators who had only experienced spiritual energy could not handle the purest form of dream elemental force and therefore were overwhelmed by it.
A few of them even lost control of their minds after falling into their dream worlds, turning into dream slaves for eternity.
"One’s accomplishment is dependent on one’s ability... None of you are qualified enough to absorb the power from the Demonic Heart Realm!"
Fang Yuan scoffed but became alert. With that, he absorbed the dream elemental force and transferred it to his actualised dream world before containing it with his 8 Gates Sword Array.
"The monsters that have evolved from the dream elemental force will, unfortunately, be controlled by a more powerful dream master... if that is so..."
Fang Yuan gazed at the black hole. Indeed, through the air, he could see a black shadow which he could not find words to describe.
After attempting to break through the realms and failing, the black shadow vibrated and a voice was heard in everyone’s mind. "I am Hades! You weak beings... Give me all of you!"
This voice was filled with evil and after hearing it, Fang Yuan felt giddy and nauseous.
Long Lizi and the rest stood where they were, stunned. Suddenly, a stream of dream elemental force started to flow through their bodies and all of them were undergoing weird mutations in that instant.
