Carefree Path of Dreams
chapter-1004

“Ah… What have you done to my student?”

Wang Qiankun and the others were so enraged their eyes seemed to pop out.

The feeling from this black-hearted demon was very different from the previous Demon Spirits they had encountered.

It seemed like it could even use the power of the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth, which was terrifying!

“Nothing much. It was only a test. It’s a pity that he didn’t pass!” Fang Yuan said regretfully.

Just now, he had used Dream Master techniques to make Huo Qingtian experience thousands of reincarnations and taste the pain of life and death, love, hatred, hunger, and so on. It could also be considered an alternative refinement of the heart.

He could have become a Bodhi, and nothing would have been able to deter him. In the future, he would have definitely become a great Confucian in the future, perhaps even a Confucian Saint.

Obviously, Huo Qingtian’s mentality was not strong enough to overcome it, and he was tortured into madness by those dreams.

But this insane black-hearted demon was of value as well.

Fang Yuan released Huo Qingtian, whose eyes were sparkling weirdly. “Sure enough… power is power… There is no good or evil!”

According to the nomological rules of this world, only the scholars could condense their Qi of Righteousness and use the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth as their own power.

However, after research, he realized that there were Yin and Yang in everything. Since Confucian scholars could use the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth, what if these scholars with a broken heart took the initiative to turn toward darkness? Then they would be drawing upon the Demonic Qi of Heaven and Earth!

The Demonic Qi of Heaven and Earth was just the other side of the coin of the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth. They were both manifestations of the power of the world!

“Haha… Kill! Kill! Let everything turn to nothingness! Let the world return to its former purity!”

The black-hearted demon’s appearance was no different from other scholars except that his chest was open, revealing a pitch-black heart.

At this time, he was roaring with laughter and vomiting words of the Sage.

Black characters emerged in the midair, condensing terror onto his former classmates and teachers.

“What… is this power?”

“Huo Qingtian! Wake up!”

“He is no longer our classmate but a contaminated demon. Kill him!”

…

Those lucky enough to be still alive made a commotion.

Immediately, a few Qi of Righteousness transformed into weapons and fell on Huo Qingtian.

The long swords condensed from the Qi of Righteousness would have been powerful against demons, but there was no effect on Huo Qingtian. Instead, they bounced off a layer of black light without causing any damage.

“This is… protection from the Qi of Righteousness?” The other Confucian scholars were dumbfounded. “Why can a fallen demon still draw upon the power of heaven and earth?”

Compared to the others, Wang Qiankun and some of the more enlightened ones had some clues, but they would rather not have guessed it. “Evil thing… He wants to dig the seed of our foundation!”

Demons and Confucian scholars were originally incompatible.

However, Fang Yuan had artificially created a differentiation in a Confucian student and spawned the black-hearted demon!

This demon did not belong to the Mental Demon Realm, but transformed from a Confucian scholar!

This provoked the beginning of a crack between the Confucian scholars. This method of causing internal fighting was simply vicious.

Even without the demon invasion, the appearance of a black-hearted demon would inevitably become a cancer of this world that was difficult to eliminate.

Fang Yuan casually dropped a trick and brought Wang Qiankun into a dilemma. This was the wisdom and bearing of the Demon God.

“Seal it at all cost!”

After a moment, the red-eyed Wang Qiankun went mad and ordered, “Qiankun Academy, destroy the black-hearted demon immediately!”

“Why bother?”

Fang Yuan sighed as a black and red mist emanated from his body.

He might have specialized in the power of Dream Master Creation, but he also had similar foundations in the power of emotions. Not to mention, he had devoured the nomological rules of the Abominable Lord’s Seven Emotions and Six Desires Great Daos previously.

Whoo! Whoo!

A dense mist spread out and enveloped dozens of kilometers in an instant.

Confucian scholars were shouting out at the beginning, but it soon became cries of suppressed pain.

Poof!

Fang Yuan snapped his fingers after some time. The black and red mist dissipated.

Black-hearted demons stood in the field, yelling toward the sky.

Wang Qiankun and a few of the more accomplished scholars were seriously injured and could hardly stand. Their hearts bled at this scene. “Demon! We’ll fight you to the end!”

“What can you fight me with? Your lives?” Fang Yuan shook his head, teleported to Wang Qiankun, and pressed his right hand on top of his head. “Bring me to your academy now!”

Wang Qiankun’s eyes were dull as he muttered, “Understood!”

Just when Fang Yuan was about to move, the cloudy sky finally roared and thundered.

“The wrath of heaven?!” A taunting smile played on his lips. “Heaven Extermination Truth!”

Mysterious characters flew out, forming a composition facing the sky.

A shocking scene happened.

The lightning that contained the power of destruction disappeared without a trace once they were within ten meters of the words.

“I might need to worry about this world’s backlash if it was still in its heyday, but the World of Confucian has lost its guardian and was hit hard by Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers. It’d be a wonder if I dreaded it!”

Fang Yuan shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and immediately brought Wang Qiankun away to the academy.

…

Qiankun Academy.

It was also a well-known institution in the eastern part of the continent. Although it was not as good as Sage Confucian Academy, it was equally well-known.

At this time, it seemed a bit deserted.

During the first wave of demon attacks, all Confucian scholars who had completed studies were sent to battle and suffered heavy casualties.

In the second wave, Wang Qiankun took away the White Jade Capital and all the teachers and students with cultivation.

Now, it was almost empty in the academy.

“I’d dirty my hands if I were to kill the pathetic few that remain!”

Fang Yuan clapped. “You, go and clean out this academy. Bring all the ancient books regarding foreign worlds out! Also, bring out any treasures!”

“Understood!”

Wang Qiankun’s face was wooden, as though he had turned into a puppet, and he strode into the academy.

A few cries came not long after.

Wang Qiankun stepped out with a blood-stained wooden box in hand.

Fang Yuan took it unceremoniously, looked at the bones, wood slips, and the like in it, and nodded slightly. “As expected of a place that imparts extraordinary strength. It stored up quite a number of good things over the thousands of years.”

Most of them were methods to cultivate the Qi of Righteousness. Fang Yuan threw these away at once.

The rest were strange records, which was the knowledge he was after.

“In ancient times, the appearance of an auspicious and mysterious bird brought six hundred years of…”

Suddenly, Fang Yuan found a record, causing his hand to shake. “It’s true… This world was also affected by that Huaxia civilization! What a pity… there are no world coordinates!”

While he was feeling sorry, his stats window shook slightly, and Fang Yuan’s eyes entered into a strange comprehension.

“Haha… Li Hun, you are really slow!”

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

Earthquake-like footsteps came, and a shadow-like mountain drew near.

It was a black ape with a third eye between its brows and a bizarre pattern on its back.

The ape lowered its head and looked at the Fang Yuan deep in thought. An ugly smile appeared on its ugly face as it suddenly lifted its foot.

Rumble!

It stomped down hard, and all of Qiankun Academy instantly turned into ruins.

“Hey… Are you courting death?”

The sudden shock made Fang Yuan break away from his enlightenment, and he stared at it with his eyes narrowed.

“We are both Demon Gods. I’ve already wiped out my area, so I came here especially to help you…” The great ape growled. Its eyes were silver now, perhaps because it had devoured too many souls.

Fang Yuan sighed softly. A horrible aura suddenly exploded. “Scram!”

The surrounding area trembled, and the sky changed.

The aura of a Dark Heavenly Dao descended. “A small Myriad Transformations dares to make noise in front of me!”

Splash!

In the sky above, lightning converged into a dragon that pounced at the great ape.

“Ah… You are Netherheaven realm Sacred Lord! Forgive me! Forgive me!”

The great ape screamed as it tried to flee.

After all, this was Netherheaven!

Once a Demon God entered Netherheaven, it was almost two completely different levels compared to Void Amalgamation and Myriad Transformations, thus the title of Sacred Lord.

They were at the top of the food chain. A small Myriad Transformations Demon God was nothing to them.

As such, this Demon God did not dare to clamor but chose to run away immediately.

“So… I’ve obtained the coordinates to the Huaxia civilization?”

Fang Yuan caressed his chest, looking pensive.

Chirp chirp!

A strange purple bird flew past, and Sacred Lord Purple Crow’s voice came. “Li Hun, your actions are really slower than mine… Sacred Lord Fresh Flowers has notified us to destroy a few pillars of this world. Then she’ll coordinate with us from the outside to let the Mental Demon Realm devour this entire world. This’ll turn that Sun Shengru into a dog without a home. Hehe…”

There were definitely dependencies whenever a world was made.

In other words, these were existences equivalent to pillars.

The world would suffer a huge blow to its vitality if they were destroyed.

Of course, it would make things even worse for the World of Confucian at this time.

As long as they accomplished this, there would be no difficulty for the Mental Demon Realm to devour this world, and all the participating Demon Gods would inevitably obtain joy and rewards from the Mental Demon Realm.

“What pillars?”

“This world runs on the Righteous Qi of Heaven and Earth. Its vitality stems from those scholars and the academies. Once we destroy this network, and the suppression disappears, the earth dragon will appear!”

Sacred Lord Purple Crow obviously understood this well. “The end will be near once we destroy the earth dragon veins! However, only the two of us can do it!”

Netherheavens could change heaven and earth and had superb combat power. It was difficult for the other Demon Gods to recover to this point in such a short time.
