Chapter 467: Violet
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Someone is breaking through to the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage! Where is this dream master from?"
Behind the Leader of Hidden Dragon Guards, the streak of light came to a halt and a confused look surfaced. "Is he a friend or a foe? Or could he be a... lone cultivator?!"
If any dream master from the Hidden Dragon Guards or the 5 Grand Organisations were to prepare for a breakthrough to the 7th Tier, they would surely put up all precautions to attempt the breakthrough in isolation. Even Sages would be deployed to look out for the cultivator undergoing the breakthrough.
After all, the war was about to break out and in such a tense and sensitive period of time, the addition of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master would mean a paramount increase in the combat power of the organisation the dream master belonged to. It would be hard to imagine just how much power the said organisation would attain.
Therefore, it was only reasonable for dream masters of other organisations to disrupt such a breakthrough.
However, this dream master was like a fool to have chosen to breakthrough just like that in the woods. He must be crazy.
"Regardless, he cannot be from the 5 Grand Organisations!"
The Leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards clenched his teeth and hurriedly made his way to the barren mountain.
He knew that the will of the realm would surely be against the 5 Grand Organisations!
In fact, after he had put the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array in place, no dream master from the 5 Grand Organisations dared to be reckless.
The dream masters from the 5 Grand Organisations were already going against the will of the realm and would surely not give the heavens any opportunity to deal with them.
It would be crucial to note that the natural source of The Ancient Realm was nothing compared to that of Da Qian. However, it was already powerful enough to seal out even a Sage after it was awakened.
If the will of Da Qian was willing, unrestricted, it would unquestionably be able to destroy even a Sage!
Therefore, this dream master who was about to experience a breakthrough would be likely to join the Imperial Court if he wasn't part of it already...
The Leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards sensed that something was not right as his eyes darted around before he came to a halt. "Something's not right!"
"Rumble!"
Dark clouds rumbled from above and 7 streaks of lightning struck down mercilessly and continuously. Their power was indeed mighty and it was as though the heavens were going all out to kill the dream master experiencing the breakthrough.
"This..."
The Leader of the Hidden Dragon Guards was shocked. "The 7 Continuous Bolts of Lightning?! Anyone who deserves such a tribulation would have sinned too much and would still be dealt with even if he doesn't undergo the breakthrough, this is terrible..."
"Haha!"
The dream master at the back appeared extremely excited. "Mu Hezi, you're digging your own grave!"
However, in his heart, he felt even more confused. "Could this dream master... be part of us, the 5 Grand Organisations?"
"Rumble!"
During their exchange, the streaks of lightning struck down mercilessly and split the barren mountain into two, revealing a silhouette in a mountain cave.
"Rise!"
The silhouette gazed up towards the sky and seemed confused as he waved his hands.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
7 glittering magical swords appeared before taking up the forms of 7 oddly-shaped children. Some of them were cute, some of them appeared weird while some others appeared matured. At this point in time, they were delegating jobs to among each other as they controlled a massive amount of sword essence each to defend against the incoming lightning strikes.
"Boohooo... Master, this streak of lightning hurts."
"Each of us is only up against one streak of lightning. It will not hurt us and we can continue fighting!"
"Little Water, Little Fire and Little Lake are not counters to lightning. Little Thunder and Little Wind are better counters!"
...
The few children communicated through their spiritual wills and split the job. Furthermore, the children who were formed later seemed to be more mature.
For instance, Earth Sword Child had taken up the role of leader without Fang Yuan's explicit instructions and was, in fact, doing the job quite well.
"Hmmm... The 7 of them, after combining forces, are able to deal with even a 6th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. In the future, I will have these helpers to help me out!"
Fang Yuan witnessed this scene before him and felt satisfied.
This children which he had spiritualised were not only loyal but powerful as well. Even if these children were to die, they could be revived in Fang Yuan's actualised dream world and there were no better helpers than the 7 of them.
"The only thing is that... this tribulation seems a little boring!"
Fang Yuan gazed up towards the sky as the dark clouds started to disperse, leaving him speechless.
After all, Fang Yuan did not do his research about the breakthrough to the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage and was caught off guard.
"The will of the realm can only deal with me if I have done something wrong, and not deal with me because it feels that I am opposing it... All my previous actions are assisting the 5 Grand Organisations and I am even involved in casting the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array in the 9 Extremes Mountain. Therefore, as soon as it has the chance, it will surely try to kill me... Of course, at the ending, it seems as though it was giving me a second chance. Could it be that it had sensed that I was about to break through to the 7th Tier, or could it be the fact that I am not a Sage and therefore insignificant?"
Fang Yuan thought to himself for a moment before forming a layer of fog around him. With that, he flew up into the sky and glared at the two uninvited guests. "Who are you guys?"
"How can you so easily deal with the lightning tribulation of the heavens?"
The two powerful beings were indeed a little shocked after witnessing how Fang Yuan survived after the tribulation.
Mu Hezi's eyes were wide open. He knew that this newly promoted powerful being was more powerful than an average 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. Additionally, the fact that every single magical sword of his could so easily deflect each streak of lightning meant that this dream master had inherited an impressive inheritance from a powerful dream soldier master.
'The only thing is... I seem to have heard of such a sword technique somewhere!'
"I am Feng Buer of the Source Seeking Sect! Brother, as long as you assist me in trapping the Leader of Hidden Dragon Guards, Mu Hezi, I will not only owe you a favour, the entire 5 Grand Organisations will also be willing to do you a favour!"
From behind, Feng Buer spoke with confidence.
At this point in time, the 5 Grand Organisations had claimed multiple victories and the Imperial Court was experiencing losses. Even if Fang Yuan was not from the 5 Grand Organisations, he should be able to make a sensible choice.
"Source Seeking Sect... Feng Buer?"
Fang Yuan smiled as a killer look flashed across his eyes. "Wind, Thunder, Water and Fire!"
"We're here, Master!"
4 children flew into the air and the illusionary figure of the swords which they represent appeared vaguely behind them. With that, they formed the 4 Emblems array which sealed and contained Mu Hezi in within.
"This is..."
Mu Hezi gazed at the array as though he had thought of something.
"Haha... I knew that brother would be a reasonable person!"
Feng Buer was ecstatic as he rushed towards the array. "Mu Hezi, you are always against the 5 Grand Organisations. Now that you are losing, I want you to die here today!"
"4 Emblems, rise!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Feng Buer approached the array, the 4 Emblems Array expanded and contained him inside as well.
"Friend... what do you mean by this?"
Feng Buer's expression changed. With the wave of his hands, 3 huge dragons appeared around him, protecting him.
These 3 huge dragons were gigantic dragons from the west, something which Fang Yuan seemed to recall from his past life. Their bodies were huge lizard bodies with two additional wings made of flesh. The most unique point was that they had a ferocious looking horn on their heads.
"The 4 Emblems of the 8 Gates... you are... the descendant of Master Heartless?"
Mu Hezi gazed towards Fang Yuan and his expression changed once more. He was dumbfounded.
Although Master Heartless was ruthless in the past and had openly stood on the side of the Imperial Court, in the end, the unreasonable doings of the Imperial Court made Master Heartless revolt. Now, someone else with the inheritance of Master Heartless who was also at the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage made Mu Hezi at loss as to what to do.
"Heartless?"
Compared to Mu Hezi, Feng Buer's reaction was greater. "Is that old dude not dead yet? Haha... It would still be a meritorious act to be able to capture his disciple!"
He gazed towards Fang Yuan as though he wanted to strike anytime.
However, Fang Yuan shook his head before stretching his hands out.
"Whoosh!"
Two balls of fires were extinguished immediately, revealing two tattered talismans within.
"Although this is only a 4 Emblems Array, the both of you are already within my spiritual territory. Do you think you can perform all these behind my back?"
Fang Yuan sighed once again. "Do you think that you can bully me just because I am a newly promoted 7th Tier dream master?"
"Hmph!"
Feng Buer snickered. "You can only defend and protect yourself now. You are already dead... as the disciple of Master Heartless, your appearance will only result in being hunted down by the 5 Grand Organisations. No one can save you!"
"Hehe... Do you know who am I, or what my true appearance is?"
Fang Yuan rebutted and Feng Buer was rendered speechless.
Fang Yuan silently thought to himself. 'Master, how many people did you offend? Why is it that an entire group of Sages and powerful beings are still unwilling to let things slide even until today?'
"Kill him at all costs!"
With a command, Lake, Mountain and Earth Sword Children entered the 4 Emblems Array as well.
The 7 magical swords revealed their true form and the children who were illusionary stood in their positions before executing their techniques. "On the 7 stars, we form the Big Dipper... 7 swords, combine to form the Violet spiritual territory and kill!"
"Rumble!"
Thunder, Lake and Mountain flew up into the air to assume the positions of the 3 Talents Array, sealing the top of the array.
The spiritual territory started to spread out as though it was the beginning of the world. Earth, Fire, Wind and Water started to appear, turning everything a pure violet.
Witnessing this scene, Mu Hezi's pupils contracted. Even though he was not the one under attack, he felt desperate enough to escape to the walls of the array. "I see... This is the legendary and secret 8 Gates Sword Array of the dream soldier masters... The Sages have mentioned the creation of a violet spiritual territory by combining Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. This is an array which only Sages and above can defend against!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
It seemed as though it was the destruction of the entire world as the few huge dragons disintegrated within the spiritual territory.
Following which, the violet spiritual territory started to seal Feng Buer in within and a violet surge of energy started to descend in an attempt to completely annihilate this 7th Tier dream master from the Source Seeking Sect.
This was Fang Yuan's maiden fight as a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master and he was already attempting to destroy someone of the same tier. Such aggression and ruthlessness only stunned Mu Hezi, who was witnessing everything from the sidelines. 'It is rumoured that Master Heartless and his disciples are all lunatics. This is really true! This person is already attempting to kill someone of the same tier as him as soon as they met. Years ago, Master Heartless even attempted to attack a Sage!"
"This is truly a violet spiritual territory!"
Feng Buer gazed at the continuously descending violet energy and expressions of admiration, jealousy and frenzy flashed across his face. Suddenly, he composed himself and glared at Fang Yuan. "You are dead... Lord Demon Killing Divine Pen will never let you off!"
