This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder-Chapter 474: Another Chaos Fiendgod?
Tianyi didn’t answer. Instead, he had a hard look in his eyes as he gazed upon the realm-sized lifeform.
“Sorry, we failed,” Minister Everpast said, using his immortal sense. “We couldn’t trap him in the formation long enough to send into the Nine Heavens Universe. We’ll do our best to support you, but you’re going to have to do most of the legwork.”freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He wanted to curse. Tianyi originally thought that he only needed to show up at the end to finish everything up, but his expectations fell through. Now, not only did he have to worry about dragging the chaos fiendgod into his inner universe, he had to consider what would happen if the chaos fiendgod escaped and the troubles that would come afterward.
‘Is this what it feels like to be the protagonist? Having to do everything yourself? It’s a terrible feeling.’ It was just a random thought that popped up in Tianyi’s mind. He threw it out because he wouldn’t have time to have stray thoughts anymore.
“Let’s change the size difference first,” Tianyi lightly said.
The remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams only had a fraction of his former size and powers. He had disguised himself as an unranked realm, which was only a hundredth of the Primordial Realm’s size, but in comparison, Tianyi and the other immortals were just mere microbes. No, not even microbes, at most electrons or protons.
That changed as Tianyi’s size increased swiftly.
Two meters.
Five meters.
Ten meters.
A hundred meters.
A thousand meters.
Ten thousand meters.
A hundred thousand meters.
One million meters.
As he grew, his skin and robes turned pitch black. Then, tiny motes of lights appeared inside his body, forming countless star fields and galaxies. Inside his abdomen, a solar system formed of one sun and nine planets appeared.
Tianyi’s body size kept multiplying, and before anyone knew it, his height had already reached a quarter the size of the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams. He wanted to continue to grow, but the moment he did so, a thunderous roar echoed throughout the Vast Void. It penetrated through many realms, causing the mortals to kneel and pray while the cultivators attempted to discover the source of the thunder.
On the other hand, Tianyi immediately halted his actions and even shrunk a bit. He recognized that sound. How could he not? It would not be an exaggeration that he had experienced it over a thousand times. Although it became less frequent once he reached the Immortal Realms, they still appeared when he did something preposterous.
“Dammit, did I show too much power and force the punishment tribulation to appear?” Tianyi asked. Luckily for him, he did not see tribulation clouds appearing. It seemed that as long as his size did not exceed the current limits, the punishment tribulation would not appear.
But that brought up another problem.
“Minister, I’m not sure I can drag the chaos fiendgod into my inner universe without incurring a punishment tribulation,” Tianyi said.
Minister Everpast’s expression twisted. “Just do your best to hold him for now. I’ll summon reinforcements. Since we have already formed this enmity with the chaos fiendgod, we have to solve him now, lest he bring trouble in the future.”
Tianyi nodded. He had the same thoughts. He raised his hand, and a sword appeared in his grasp. The sword had no embellishment, just a simple blade with a wooden handle and bronze hilt and pommel, but anyone with a discerning eye can see its hidden might. This was the divine artifact, the Immortal Confining Sword of the Four Immortal Extermination Swords.
The remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams didn’t recognize the sword, but it knew that the sword had the ability to threaten him. Still, instead of retreating, he advanced. His jaws opened even wider and spewed out a white mist that spread everywhere without dissipating.
Tianyi frowned. He really didn’t want to touch something that came out of another’s mouth, but that was just gripes. He slashed forward, splitting the mist in two, and flew forward. The mist that touched his body lingered, attempting to enter his body and bewilder him.
He snorted and lessened the dimensional boundary around his body. The mist flew in, but instead of bewildering him, it just lingered, unable to do anything.
The remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams showed some surprise, but not too much. It already sensed something off when Tianyi appeared in front of him again. Unlike the previous time, Tianyi gave him a huge sense of crisis.
When the two collided, Tianyi cut downward. The Immortal Confining Sword sliced through the chaos fiendgod’s body like nothing. Rather than like, it really did cut through nothing. His body was formed of illusion, so physical attacks could not harm him.
Tianyi found himself wrapped in mist. He expanded his immortal sense but discovered that no matter how far his immortal sense traveled, he could only sense mist. It was as if the Vast Void had transformed entirely into a world of mist. Were it not for the conduits that still existed in the Three Thousand Immortal realms, he might’ve thought the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams had teleported him to another universe or something.
Still, Tianyi could feel that the mist around him attempted to induce him into an illusion. Simultaneously, he even felt a slight sense of sleepiness. Ever since he became an immortal, he had never needed to sleep. And whenever he did, it was not like mortal sleep. In essence, it was closer to a hibernation period with no dreams or the like. Once something unusual happened, Tianyi would immediately return to his most alert state without any drowsiness.
He forced down the drowsy sensation and injected his immortal qi of primordial chaos into the Immortal Confining Sword. The blade of the Immortal Confining Sword lit up and characters constantly flitted across the surface. Anyone too weak of mind who saw this would get a headache or fall into a coma.
With a swing of his sword, the mist split. Although Tianyi was still surrounded by mist, a space free of it appeared. No matter how hard the mist tried, it could not penetrate this inviolable area. Tianyi’s hand stopped. Although he could prevent the mist from entering, he didn’t find a method to destroy the mist.
At this time, Tianyi received a message from Minister Everpast, Primewood, and Vastlight. The mist was attempting to erode them just like it did to him. Although they could resist for a while thanks to their realm artifacts, it would be catastrophic if the mist entered their body, so they requested Tianyi to teleport them.
Before coming, Tianyi had already placed a conduit on each of them. With a thought, the conduit opened a portal into his Nine Heavens Universe, allowing them to fly to safety.
Tianyi himself disappeared. When he reappeared, he saw a ball of mist only a few hundred kilometers large, far smaller than the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams. Was this a remnant of a remnant?
Off into the distance, Tianyi saw the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams’ original body fleeing. What was in front of him was nothing more than a split body used to trap him. From the beginning, the chaos fiendgod had planned to leave because of the ominous premonition.
Tianyi found himself a bit speechless when he realized this. ‘You are an exalted chaos fiendgod. Why is the first thing you attempt to do is flee?’
He moved to block the fleeing chaos fiendgod, but the moment he did so, the ball of mist rumbled. A giant face appeared in the mist and charged at Tianyi.
Tianyi released a slash that bifurcated the giant ball of mist into two. However, the mist didn’t give up. The two split halves coiled together and formed two giant heads, charging toward Tianyi.
He didn’t know what these two giant heads were, but Tianyi felt the exact same aura on them as the fleeing one. Perhaps, they were clones or avatars?
It didn’t matter. He didn’t want to become entangled with these two giant heads, so with a wave of his hand, two more conduits appeared. The two only had the power of an immortal monarch, but they should be able to stop the two heads for a bit.
Tianyi’s form disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already blocking the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams’ way.
“Divine level Law of Space?! No, it hasn’t reached the divine level yet. This is the Law of Spacetime!” Although the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams discovered the truth, it wasn’t happy at all. Since Tianyi could teleport, it meant he couldn’t escape.
“Kill!” Since he couldn’t escape, the remnant chaos fiendgod no longer attempted to do so. He engulfed Tianyi in his mist again and used all his power to attack.
Of course, Tianyi wouldn’t allow the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams to succeed. What if he repeated his old tricks again? He teleported, and when Tianyi reappeared, he was already behind the chaos fiendgod. He slashed out.
The remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams roared as a cut appeared on his back, forming a gap. He attempted to close the gap, but he discovered a corrosive energy that prevented him from doing so. He turned around and stared at Tianyi once more.
Tens of clones flew out of the chaos fiendgod. Each one was the same size and emitting the same aura as the original. The most shocking thing was that Tianyi felt each one had the same heaven-defying power. All of them roared and charged at it.
Tianyi tightened the grip on his sword and teleported away, but the moment he reappeared, he discovered that it was as if he had never teleported. All the giant heads formed of mist were still charging at him. He teleported several more times, but the results were the same.
Since he couldn’t avoid them, Tianyi decided to attack them head on. The first head appeared in front of him, and he slashed out. The Immortal Confining Sword sliced through, but nothing happened to the mist. That wasn’t the most shocking part. The most shocking part was that Tianyi felt nothing changing except for his view being obscured.
‘Did I fall under an illusion?’ Tianyi thought. He knew that Dreamwalker was skilled in illusions, so it was no surprise that the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams had even greater abilities. Only, he never expected to fall prey to such a technique.
He teleported again, but the mist still clouded his vision. Tianyi expanded his immortal sense, but like before, he still couldn’t see through its power. ‘Should I use essence? Would it even pierce through the mist?’
Tianyi frowned. ‘This operation is an absolute secret. It must not be leaked. Once the chaos fiendgod fled, it would no longer matter. Since that’s the case, don’t hide anything anymore!’
With his mind made up, Tianyi no longer used immortal qi. Instead, he used the energy of Ninth, Eighth, Seventh, and Sixth Heaven. Aside from the evolution of the soul, the reason spiritual sense transformed into immortal sense in the Immortal Realm was because the energy carrying it evolved from true qi to immortal qi. That’s also why, even if you unlocked the spiritual sense in the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was inferior to a core formation master’s spiritual sense.
If immortal qi allowed a cultivator to use immortal sense, then once a cultivator used essence, they would possess divine sense. Tianyi’s soul hadn’t quite evolved into the Divine Realm, but it didn’t matter. It was already comparable to a divinity.
The immortal qi in Tianyi’s body disappeared, replaced by the essence of spacetime, essence of five phases, essence of yin, essence of yang, essence of life, and essence of death. Then, he released his divine sense. Although still clouded, Tianyi could accurately grasp the surroundings far better than before.
He teleported again, and then this time, he sensed that he had indeed teleported to a different location, just that it was in a space within the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dream’s location. Still, with his current senses, Tianyi grasped the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams. The moment he charged at the latter, he said something that caused Tianyi to still.
“Divine sense? Were you actually a divinity all this time?” the remnant Chaos Fiendgod of Dreams shook his head. “No, it’s not just a divinity. Are you a chaos fiendgod, too?!”
