Xiang Liu!
How could the secret move of the Hidden Dragon Guards, the strike of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master, be exhausted on Chi?
Xi Chen and Green Wood began to suspect something. Now that everything was on the edge, they exerted their powers as well, expelling everything on Army Leader Chi’s Divine Body.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The dark runes on Chi’s Ultimate Witch Body turned into flames and surprisingly started to burn him alive.
"In today’s defeat, our ancestral bloodline will forever be lost. There is so much hate! Hate! Hate! You demons are disgusting!"
Chi’s head continued to roar and tears seemed to be welling up in his eyes. With that, his head started to burn.
In mid-air, blood-red fate energy started to disperse quickly.
"This is the tribal energy of Jiuli Tribe, and Chi was merely the body which the tribal energy had chosen to enter... After this episode, there will no more Jiuli Tribe!"
Xi Chen sighed as he looked at the Torch Dragon. "What is the intention of the Hidden Dragon Guards?"
"What intention? You’ll know very soon!"
The Torch Dragon broke into laughter. Quickly, it lost its breath and fell to the ground.
"Crash!"
The huge corpse of the Torch Dragon fell into the gushing water. In a few moments, it was entirely consumed by the river and disappeared.
Considering that they were all powerful dream masters in a foreign realm, if anyone of them wanted to die to leave the realm, no one would be able to stop them, even if 3 powerful dream masters were to come together to combine forces!
"What does he intend to do?"
Elder Smelter gazed down and could see that everywhere was flooded. The normal Jiuli Tribe members and Xia Tribe members were long dead.
Just a scene of death gave him an uncomfortable feeling. "This is not good..."
"Rumble!!!"
In the next moment, the entire world shook and many clouds resembling fish scales started to cover the sky. Streaks of lightning danced around.
The power of tribulations came from the source of energy of the realm.
By harnessing the power directly from the source of energy, tribulations would be terrifying!
"Why is this happening? The Xia people are the main people of the people dao, and we have the 9 Cauldrons to control our fate energy..."
Xi Chen froze and subsequently gazed down.
The water from the river flooded the entire place, turning the whole Yang City into a lake city. Other than a few survivors, everyone was killed and corpses floated around.
Furthermore, the water continued to gush towards the palace, flooding the entire place and covering the 9 Cauldrons as well.
"Rippp!"
A streak of lightning struck down towards the cauldrons and immediately, cracks appeared on the surfaces of the cauldrons. There was a tremor felt. As the water continued to flow, the 9 Cauldrons were being carried away.
"The 9 Cauldrons are made from normal materials. What makes it such a strong treasure is the fact that it is filled with the fate energy of the people dao..."
Xi Chen witnessed the entire scene and suddenly came to a realisation. "The people of Jiuli are the original natives of this world. Therefore, they still had a portion of fate energy with them. Now that we have destroyed their bloodline, the heavens have noticed it and are angry!"
"Initially, this shouldn’t trouble us at all. Even if there were tribulations, we could still defend ourselves with the 9 Cauldrons... However, now that the Xia people are mostly dead, the people dao is weakened and we have lost the fate energy!"
Without the Xia people to manipulate the people dao, they could no longer affect the heavenly dao!
This was why there were tribulations now!
"Someone secretly altered the fate of the Xia people and even prevented us from detecting it!"
Green Wood started to predict before letting out a shriek. "The 3 of us are dream masters in the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. Only a dream master in the Prominent Divine stage could do this! It’s the Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards!"
"D*mn it!"
Elder Smelter gazed into the sky as the green streak of lightning started to turn purple. "The source of energy of the Ancient Realm is extremely concentrated. If we are to bear the brunt of it, we will have no chance of survival..."
Even Sages could only create hollows which depended on the main world.
Now that an entire realm was enraged, which dream master would be able to bear the tribulation and survive?
"Rumble!"
As the entire realm shook, a huge force was felt upon the few dream masters. Blood rain started to fall.
Everyone was fearful, dream masters of the Realm Alliance and demons alike. "Heavenly tribulation! Heavenly Tribulation! Our True Spirits cannot escape!"
"What? I thought there isn’t any Heavenly Spiritual Image?!... This is the world sealing us in it!"
Xi Chen quickly reacted and could feel the immense force. "After a certain limit, anything foreign within the area would be killed by the tribulation! This realm is trying to kill us all! Furthermore, I have not seen this type of seal before!"
No matter how powerful the 3 of them were, they could still feel fear as the realm raged upon them!
"Rumble!"
As the blood rain fell, purple streaks of lightning struck down. Two demons and a few dream masters of the Realm Alliance were pulverized!
...
Outside the Ancient Realm.
A huge hand floated in mid-air and paused for a moment at the boundary of the Ancient Realm. On it, there was a mysterious colourful glow.
With the mysterious glow, the solidified wall of defence at the boundary of the realm started to melt, revealing a realm in turmoil.
’The world is starting to awaken and is discriminating against the foreigners! Head of Hidden Dragon Guards, I will settle this score with you!’
From the huge hand, there was an anxious voice heard.
"Haha... since you want to settle the score with me, let’s fight!"
Outside the realm, another huge green hand appeared. It flew up and pressed down against the entire realm. "Ancient! You shall decide if you want to save your own people or fight against me!"
The giant hand which had arrived first was stunned. With that, it used its nails to carve an opening from the boundary’s membrane.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, the giant green hand flew towards the other hand, grabbing on three of its fingers and pulled it towards the ground.
As the space around them vibrated, there was silence for a while before a spiritual will was heard. "Head of Hidden Dragon Guards! Good! You’re good!"
"Of course I’m good. This Ancient Realm was named after you and used to be your home ground. But now, we’re even!"
The spiritual will of the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards laughed. "The consciousness of the realm is waking up and it will choose whoever it wants to take over the 9 Regions! In this period, you will have to consume a lot of energy before you can arrive... I know, you’ve always wanted to reap rewards from this world for the third time and advance to the Prominent Divine stage. Hehe... look what happened now! Since you are a Sage and have once made your way through to conquer this realm, you can try to do it again!"
The Ancient Realm’s consciousness was asleep and was only functioning on its subconsciousness. Therefore, The Ancient One was able to conquer the realm and use the 9 Cauldrons to control fate energy, therefore affecting the heavenly dao through the people dao.
However, the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards had subtly awakened the consciousness of the realm and had made use of eliminating the bloodline of Jiuli Tribe to anger the consciousness of the realm so as to allow it to cleanse the realm of foreigners.
Even a Sage would have to put in a lot of effort to go against the consciousness of a realm.
Time would pass and there would be another favoured tribe in the future. The Xia Tribe would slowly be written in the history books.
The Head of Hidden Dragon Guards had only meticulously made use of everything that was in place to achieve his objective. With that, everything that The Ancient One had left in the realm was all gone, and the dream masters which the Realm Alliance had sent into the realm were also sacrificed!
The Realm Alliance had invested 3 dream masters of the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine stage to guard the realm only because they had been warned, and countless other dream masters were sacrificed as well.
What about the Hidden Dragon Guards? They only had a powerful dream master in the form of a Torch Dragon, which had taken his leave earlier on.
Therefore, even if the Ancient World were to sort the foreigners out, The Ancient One would be the only one desperate, for his disciples were all trapped in the realm!
...
Within the Ancient Realm.
"Eh?"
Xi Chen could feel that the realm was not as restrictive as before and was elated. "Master must have helped us to weaken the realm’s defence. Let’s go!"
Without thinking, he slammed his palm on his forehead. With that, his head exploded and his True Spirit quickly flew out and disappeared.
"This is a good opportunity!"
Elder Green Wood sighed. "We can take our leave quickly, but as for the weaker dream masters, they’ll have to depend on their luck! Go!"
"It’s a pity that hundreds of years of preparation is now destroyed!"
Elder Smelter sighed and closed his eyes. The fiery dragon lost its breath and fell to the ground.
"Go!"
Seeing all that had happened, Fang Yuan remained emotionless and went into a daze.
Beside him, Tong gritted his teeth and killed himself, escaping the realm. Ju was a little unfortunate. It seemed as though he had insufficient fate energy since his True Spirit was unable to escape after his death. It froze in the air as though the realm had detected it and prevented it from escaping. With a bolt of lightning, his True Spirit was reduced to ashes.
Fang Yuan stretched his hands out and within a few moments, a puddle of blood was collected on his hands.
His clothes were drenched in blood as well and he became a bloodied man.
Other than that, there was nothing much.
It seemed as though Fang Yuan had understood what had happened in the past few moments. "The realm is discriminating against the foreigners, but it has forgotten about me? What’s this about..."
He started to think to himself.
The power of the realm was immense and it was probably even more powerful than a Sage!
But now, all the dream masters were being dealt with except himself. What a chance this was!
’If we compare this to the analogy of a game, this game has turned from a public game to a private game!’
Fang Yuan’s heart started to burn with excitement. Seeing the desperate faces of the dream masters around him, Fang Yuan thought to himself. ’But... at the very least, I still have to put on an act. After all, I have the coordinates of this realm. I can secretly return in the future!’
With that determination, he killed his own body as his True Spirit started to leave.
However, he was different from the other dream masters who were desperately making use of this opportunity to escape while the defence of the realm was weakened. Fang Yuan was not targeted by the realm and therefore, his escape was smooth.
...
Fang Mountain.
"Ah! It’s pain!"
In a room, Wei laid on a bed and shrieked. "Quicky! Send over the witch doctor and priest!"
"Yes! However..."
The two female servants looked at her bulging stomach as though she had been pregnant for 10 months.
’If I’d knew earlier, I wouldn’t have eaten that egg!’
The greedy woman was filled with regret. Suddenly, she could feel a kick in her stomach. With that, she started to scream. "No... I don’t want to be a mother!"
"Get a few experienced women here!"
The priest arrived outside the house and appeared solemn. He allowed a few old ladies to enter before walking towards the altar and started his predictions.
"Rumble!"
Dark clouds started to gather and a streak of lightning struck down.
With that, the distinct cries of a baby were heard.
At the same time, he held onto the oracle bone and started to read into the pattern on it. With his solemn face, he seemed to have interpreted the prediction. "Giving birth to a child after eating an egg! It is a prosperous thing!"
