Carefree Path of Dreams-Chapter 1109: Trouble
Chapter 1109: Trouble
“Great… I obtained another map!”
Inside his cave abode, Fang Yuan opened the scroll detailing the task and saw an area marked in red where otherworldly demons might appear.
This was a task map. Those who did not accept the task would not be able to get it.
After Fang Yuan’s crazy speed of completing tasks, he knew the distribution of the otherworldly demons within the surrounding five thousand kilometers of Yanyang City.
It isn’t convenient for me to use my methods in front of those inner disciples, but I can get my clone to explore these places and kill the otherworldly demons in advance while cultivating… After confirming that there’s no danger, I can use my main body to kill one or two otherworldly demons that were intentionally released to complete my tasks.
Fang Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
The Torch Dragon clone appeared outside Yanyang City. He teleported a few times in succession and came to the place marked on the task scroll.
Black Qi rose into the sky. Dozens of otherworldly demons had gathered in a small city.
Roar Roar!
They raised their heads after detecting Fang Yuan’s aura. The sound waves soared into the sky, scattering the clouds.
This place was obviously a small demon nest where otherworldly demons gathered. Immortals would not dare to start a battle here without a good number of them.
“Immortal? Food!”
Bodies and bones laid everywhere within the nest, and black water nourished them, creating a terrifying scene.
An otherworldly demon with a golden horn on its head roared angrily, and many otherworldly demons flew out.
“About time!”
Fang Yuan teleported behind this horned otherworldly demon and slashed. “Light of Universe!”
Although this otherworldly demon’s body was comparable to a mid-grade immortal artifact, after his comprehension of fusing nomological laws had deepened and the Light of Universe’s power had increased sharply, he cut open the otherworldly demon’s chest with little effort. Dark purple blood splattered.
This was otherworldly demon blood. A single drop was enough to contaminate the ground, turning the surrounding fifty kilometers barren for thousands of years and into a danger zone. It could even corrode an immortal artifact!
But most of it actually landed on Fang Yuan, making loud sizzling sounds.
Fang Yuan’s Undying Demon Body acted like a sponge and greedily devoured the otherworldly demon blood. A purplish-red pattern appeared on his body.
“You should feel honored to have become food for my Undying Demon Body…” The purplish-red pattern flickered after absorbing the otherworldly demon.
The next moment, the remaining otherworldly demons attacked. Black beams struck from all sides, completely enveloping Fang Yuan.
Rumble!
A huge explosion happened, generating dark clouds of smoke.
After the dust settled, a human figure emerged. A simple armor appeared from within his body.
“Good… As expected of the Undying Demon Body!”
Fang Yuan laughed happily. His saber went forth, killing all the otherworldly demons and turning them into nourishment in no time.
“Not enough! Far from enough! The flesh and natural source of these otherworldly demons will only bring my fifth level one step further, but I’m still far from the sixth level. I need at least a thousand otherworldly demons!”
Fang Yuan frowned and immediately pondered. “The seventh level is the primordial treasure realm. If I want to break through to it, I need to increase the absorption by ten times. This will require ten thousand otherworldly demons. Or perhaps one Primordial Godfiend?”
With this thought, he smiled bitterly.
The Undying Demon Body might be advancing, but the demand for otherworldly demons was truly shocking.
“Fortunately, I won’t be lacking otherworldly demons during the demon disaster…”
The Torch Dragon clone lifted his head and released his murderous intent. “I’ll kill whoever gets in my way!”
He transformed into a stream of light and hurried to the next spot with otherworldly demons.
…
Time flew.
“Senior Brother Li Hun, you’ve succeeded in the task this time again!”
“Not only that, but even the number of casualties of inner disciples for the past two otherworldly demon hunts has plummeted. Senior Brother Li Hun is really kind…”
Fang Yuan had an easy time during the tasks with the Torch Dragon clone doing the dirty work.
After all, he was already invincible below the Grand Unity realm. Once he made a move, as long as he did not encounter a Primordial Godfiend, he could sweep through everything.
The Torch Dragon clone had been busy killing otherworldly demons these days. He had slain more than eight hundred otherworldly demons and was very close to breaking through to the sixth level.
“Haha… Back again? Not bad!”
Lu Wen stood at the door of the main hall, exuding the aura of an Immortal.
Obviously, he had taken advantage of the demon disaster to successfully transcend the tribulation and become Immortal!
It was nothing to be surprised about with the success rate of core disciples.
He dropped a scroll indifferently. “Help me with this investigation task!”
He did not even mask his contempt now that he had become an Immortal.
“The purple scrolls are tasks for immortals!” Fang Yuan’s steps stopped.
“I just became an Immortal and received the simplest investigation task… Kid, your luck is pretty good. An otherworldly demon hunter appeared around Yanyang City recently. It’s said that he kills otherworldly demons out of boredom. Your task is to get to the bottom of this matter!”
Lu Wen said with a meaningful gaze, “This person is your benefactor. Otherwise, with your cultivation base, you would have been long dead after doing so many tasks outside the city.”
“I see. I understand…” Fang Yuan took the scroll without another word.
“It’s rare to have such a fragile core disciple!” After he left, Xia Qinghe and Xie Wufeng walked out and frowned. “Lu Wen, why did you suddenly break through? Don’t you know that only people below Immortal can enter the mysterious realm?”
“I had to break through. My Nomological Laws of Earth were nearing perfection…” A flash of fear appeared on Lu Wen’s face. “I’ve reached perfection in the other four sets of nomological laws. With the Nomological Laws of Earth, the Five Elements would reach perfection. The lightning tribulation then would have been unimaginable…”
He had chosen to give up part of his future potential in exchange for his life and the chance to advance.
However, Xia Qinghe and Xie Wufeng rolled their eyes in contempt.
Nearing perfection in his comprehension of nomological laws? Who could verify that other than him?
Perhaps he forced a breakthrough because he feared the dangers of the mysterious realm. What could Qiu Tianfeng say?
“Also… I’m an Immortal now. You have to call me Martial Uncle when we meet!” Coldness flashed through Lu Wen’s eyes as he strode away.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you saw it!”
Xie Wufeng and Xia Qinghe waited quietly. Qiu Tianfeng stepped out of the shadows after some time. “Lu Wen… how bold. Did you think you would have bargaining power with me just because you’ve become an Immortal? He’ll soon realize his mistake!”
He did not say anything about Fang Yuan’s matter, obviously disinclined to waste energy on it.
…
Tens of thousands of kilometers outside of Yanyang City.
A large group of otherworldly demons howled as they scattered in all directions.
In the middle of it all was a dazzling saber light.
Swoosh!
Saber light came out of its sheath. A silver river seemed to sweep forward, causing the void to vibrate and catching up to the group of escaping otherworldly demons.
The next moment, all the otherworldly demons split into pieces. A mysterious force pulled them back and turned them into dust for a young man to absorb, as though his body were a black hole.
“Okay, I’m at a total of 938 otherworldly demons and about to break through in my Undying Demon Body! I’m in luck today, finding such a large group of otherworldly demons!”
The Torch Dragon clone laughed, teleported, and harvested the rest of the otherworldly demons.
One by one, he burned these otherworldly demons and turned them into nourishment, pushing his Undying Demon Body to greater heights.
“The thousandth one!”
Fang Yuan finally felt an obvious change happening in his body. His Undying Demon Body broke through to the sixth level, and his body became comparable to a top-grade immortal artifact.
“But the next level will need ten thousand otherworldly demons. It’ll be troublesome…” Fang Yuan frowned.
“Die!” Suddenly, a black beam fell, directly destroying his upper body.
In the sky, dark clouds scattered to reveal a strange Godfiend covered in silver scales. It had six arms and two faces, and the black beam had come from the angry face. Two huge hands made a grab for Fang Yuan’s body.
Swoosh!
The other half of his body instantly disappeared and reappeared hundreds of kilometers away. Flesh and blood quickly gathered into Fang Yuan’s appearance. “The Dao of Destruction, Primordial Godfiend? Was it a trap? No wonder such a large group of otherworldly demons had gathered!”
This Primordial Godfiend was obviously strange. It had disguised its aura so well that even Fang Yuan had not noticed it.
Fortunately, he had the Nomological Laws of Undying, and it had only destroyed his upper body, so he had recovered in no time.
“Better not bump head-on with it. Run!” Fang Yuan continued teleporting to escape. “I was too careless… I’ve hunted too many otherworldly demons these days, so something was bound to happen! It turned out to be a Primordial Godfiend sneak attacking me!”
Even Grand Unity Immortals could not compare to his speed of annihilating otherworldly demons since it was difficult to do so without teleportation.
He had killed a thousand otherworldly demons in a short period of time. The surroundings of Yanyang City were nearly devoid of them.
Such loss and emptiness easily attracted the attention of a Primordial Godfiend.
“Don’t think about escaping!” the Primordial Godfiend roared. All six hands formed different seals, and it transformed into a lightning python that quickly flew after him.
This Godfiend is not only good at hiding, but it’s also fast.
Fang Yuan did not dare to be careless. Using both the Heavenly Escape Technique and teleportation with all his might, he fled toward Yanyang City.
After all, he was also cleaning up the otherworldly demons for Yanyang City, so it could help him deal with this.
Moreover, around here, perhaps only Grand Unity Immortal Wu Yuan could stop this Godfiend!
…
Within Yanyang City.
Grand Unity Immortal Wu Yuan was sitting cross-legged when his eyes suddenly opened. “Someone barged into the Yin-Yang Prime Chronogram Array?”
Light flashed. He appeared thousands of meters above and stared at the figure dashing forward. “Who are you?”
The Torch Dragon clone had prepared a disguise long before coming to Yanyang City. He smiled slightly and disappeared instantly.
In fact, he teleported into the cave abode of his main body. They were going to merge into one, which was equivalent to destroying all evidence.
Roar Roar!
The next moment, a silver lightning python broke into the array, transformed into the six-armed Godfiend, and roared, “Humans?!?!”
“Damn… it’s a Primordial Godfiend!” Elder Wu Yuan took a deep breath. “Activate the array in its entirety and summon all the disciples. Get ready for battle!”
