Chapter 448: Spiritual Realm

"Spiritual Realm?"

As Fang Yuan listened to the incantations from the crystal, his eyes moved but he did not stop it immediately.

Fang Yuan had his suspicions earlier before.

The advent of the Spiritual King Comet merely marked the peak in spiritual energy. It would be ludicrous if the Spiritual King Comet could really supply an entire realm with spiritual energy.

Hence, the existence of a "Spiritual Realm" was certain and this "Spiritual Realm" was continuously providing this realm with spiritual droplets. This was extremely similar to the dream master's source world which dream masters were painstakingly searching for!

After realising such, Fang Yuan immediately confirmed to himself that this realm was of great value!

This value was even greater than that of harvesting the source of this realm!

"I can directly use this realm as an experiment to see how Da Qian World would be like in the future... Of course, the premise for all these would be the existence of a real 'Spiritual Realm'!"

Fang Yuan lobbed the crystal and it floated in mid-air. The crystal was then pierced by a sword essence.

"Ahh..."

A hysterical scream could be heard, followed by an extremely reluctant and sad sounding wail, "There's no use... the rite has already started, no one can stop it!"

"So, you have no value left!"

Fang Yuan waved his palm and flames spread, burning a certain grudging soul into ashes. Fang Yuan's spiritual will even peeked out to greedily devour all of the opponent's memories.

The technique Fang Yuan used was a dream master technique which forcefully extracted Thousand Rock Lord's life experiences.

In an instant, numerous scenes flashed in Fang Yuan's mind rapidly:

In front of a motley door on a mountain, an honest and sincere looking youth had knelt for three days and three nights. He was in yellowish brown clothes and he had a small frame.

"I must be accepted into Thick Earth Sect and become an immortal cultivator!"

The scene then changed. The youth went through numerous hardships and was finally accepted into the sect. His cultivation progressed rapidly and in mere 50 years, he was already at the peak, high above many. His gaze locked as he thought, "The flourish of spiritual energy would at most last a hundred years, once the millennial tribulation arrives, all disciples must immediately hibernate in the prosperous land and be subjected to the heavenly fate!"

In the next moment, after a millennium worth of vicissitudes, it was the beginning of a new era.

However, at that moment, the Middle Continent was in a downfall. Whereas, the East Continent and West Continent were favoured by the heavenly fate as the age of discovery soon began.

The middle-aged man was already gradually becoming older and weaker; he no longer had that energetic look in him as he thought, "No... although I had already broken through to the Divine Refining Grade and my cultivation is reaching the levels of the pioneers of the sect, under the tumultuous changes, everything would go down the drain? Even with 300 disciples and elders, I would be the only one left after 1,000 years and after yet another 1,000 years, who can still escape from mortality?"

At that moment, the Thousand Rock Lord's heart was filled with a fear of time.

In order to achieve longevity, Thousand Rock Lord researched the classics in his sect and swept through the records of cultivators. He secretly turned into a ruthless person that wiped out all resources in order to look for the methods to escape the tribulation of death.

"Haha... there's always a way out!"

Finally, in a declining small sect with a rich heritage, Thousand Rock Lord finally discovered the legend of the Spiritual Realm.

"As long as the Spiritual Realm is anchored on and the two worlds overlap, Planet Earth will definitely become the paradise of cultivators! It will allow us to breakthrough and achieve longevity!"

The Thousand Rock Lord was incredibly excited but was also filled with regret as it was too late. The Spiritual King Comet had long passed and the amounts of spiritual energy already began to drop. Thus, he no longer had the opportunity in this cycle.

Whereas, with his lifespan, he could not even live until the next cycle.

"Hate! Hate! Hate! Hate the heavens for being unjust! Hate the earth for being unfair!"

The Thousand Rock Lord was enraged. In the end, he did not care about the consequences and began killing many as a blood sacrifice in hopes of achieving contact with the faraway Spiritual Realm.

As he was closer to his deathbed, the Thousand Rock Lord's means became even crueller and he did not care about his own body at all.

He had some plans. Even if he was not successful in summoning the Spiritual Realm, he would not choose to seal and hibernate himself at his last phase of life. He would forcefully break the world's membrane and fly into space in search of a lifeline in the space-time turbulence.

At last, heaven helped those who helped themselves.

Fang Yuan's expression became tenser as he watched the scene.

Space was broken and filled with the remains of living things, it was like the Asura hell. A giant mouth opened wide and greedily devoured everything.

"Spiritual Realm?"

Inside the Thousand Rock Lord's burning gaze, a mighty will suddenly descend.

As it was travelling across realms, this will did not stay for long. The will only left behind a message which said, "In order to open the two realms, everything must be obtained." The will was then immediately attacked by Planet Earth Realm and collapsed.

Just at the moment as the will collapsed, space and time warped and a bit of yellowish-brown coloured spiritual light was transferred over and landed on the ground. It immediately absorbed the essence of the ground and turned into a sparkling gemstone.

"This is... the core of the life of an elemental being? Haha!"

The Thousand Rock Lord held the crystal tightly and laughed maniacally, "With this, what is mortality to me? I just have to wait for the next millennium and I can definitely complete the grand plan of drawing over this Spiritual Realm and directly become a Sage!"

Afterwards, in order to complete his possession, the Thousand Rock Lord opened up a secret prosperous land with his Divine Refining Grade ability. This was because the process of possessing would cause him to become extremely weak and thus, he had to guard himself during this process.

Nevertheless, the Thousand Rock Lord's luck was pretty good. After he succeeded, he managed to live until now after all.

Although his magical powers had greatly fallen and he only had the abilities of a Divine Returning Grade cultivator due to the 1,000 years seal and possession process, as long as he was given another 1,000 years, he could definitely regain his original level of cultivation.

Hence, after the Thousand Rock Lord awakened his 4th Tier abilities, he could no longer bear it anymore. Thus, he sent his magical clones all over the world in preparation to receive the greatest reward from the Spiritual Realm.

However, he never expected to meet Fang Yuan, his killer who badly defeated him.

...

'What an unlucky fellow!"

The Thousand Rock Lord's memory was like a huge treasure chest. However, Fang Yuan did not want to delve deeper into it anymore.

This was because, in front of him, although the crystal was already pierced, it still completed some sort of sacrificial ritual due to what happened previously.

"Bang!"

The yellowish brown crystal exploded into powder. Concurrently, a giant crack in space appeared. It was pitch black inside and it was like hell as it devoured everything inside the small plane.

"Submit to me!"

"Offer the entire world to me and you will receive everything you want!"

"Rumble!"

At the same time, a mighty will suddenly descended! It was as though this will was extremely far away and separated by an unknown amount of light years. After it was transmitted here, it was still vast as ever and brought about a might so strong that it could crush everything.

"Submit!"

"Submit!"

"Submit!"

"Open up your heart and mind and accept the gift from the heavens!"

...

Waves of wills repeatedly crashed into Fang Yuan's heart.

Inside Fang Yuan's body, the originally immense spiritual force did not move at all. Instead, it was as though it was adding fuel to the fire.

At such a moment, Fang Yuan could only rely on his own personal will and spiritual will!

Thankfully, Fang Yuan was a dream master and traversed through numerous realms before. Therefore, he was very experienced in this area.

No matter how intense and fierce this will was, Fang Yuan's mind remained unwavering and still.

'It doesn't matter if you are the heavenly fate of another realm! A realm's will! By traversing across dimensions, your might will be greatly reduced! Furthermore, you will be counter-attacked by this realm!'

Fang Yuan had some understanding of Planet Earth's heavenly fate too.

The physical laws of Planet Earth were harsh and thus, its fate was naturally hard to be discerned.

After all, fate represented divinity! In order to maintain the doomsday world, nature could not blatantly interfere. This was like how a king enacted laws; after the laws were put in place and became rules, even the king himself could not easily violate these laws.

However, just because it was not easy did not mean it could not be violated! It was a matter about whether the price was willing to be paid!

Furthermore, even though the emergence of spiritual energy brought about all these magical powers, to Planet Earth Realm's will, wasn't it removing its shackles?

Therefore, Fang Yuan was certain that since this Spiritual Realm's heavenly fate had already invaded Planet Earth and had already agitated the will of Planet Earth Realm. Thus, Planet Earth Realm's will become more vigilant and might even counterattack.

As long as Fang Yuan could withstand it for a short period of time, he would be perfectly fine and unscathed.

If Fang Yuan did not calculate and predict such, he would not have dared to suddenly attack Thunder Rock Lord and directly face this foreign will.

'But... there's something I can finally confirm, and that is the existence of the Spiritual Realm! This realm that is at a higher energy level than that of the Planet Earth Realm... it might even be at a higher dimension!'

Fang Yuan was extremely elated and excited inside his heart as he just unveiled the secrets of this realm.

Outside, after the will which was roaring at Fang Yuan saw how he remained steadfast, it suddenly changed.

Inside Fang Yuan's sea of consciousness, all sorts of seductions appeared one after another.

Mythical goddesses appeared and they were extremely gorgeous and captivating. Fang Yuan felt as though he became a God and was worshipped by thousands of deities. Suddenly, Fang Yuan then felt his body had achieved eternity as he was immortal.

'Since the violent ways didn't work, it has turned to softer ways?'

A slight smile appeared on his lips. "Unfortunately, I'm a lone wolf! I only eat the prey I catch by myself! No matter how much you are willing to offer me, I don't want to lose my freedom!"

"Rumble!"

Moments later, everything in the surroundings disappeared.

Fang Yuan scanned all around him and felt uneasy at once, "Oh no!"

In what was originally the prosperous land, numerous cracks appeared in the skies and an annihilating storm raged. It was as though there was a wrathful and furious will outside that was breaking into the prosperous land and attacking the giant crack in the space inside.

"Kaboom!"

Under the roaring noises, a giant hole opened up in the prosperous land and revealed the dark clouds looming in the skies outside.

Numerous purple coloured lightning gathered that flashed amongst the grey clouds. There were like pairs of purple eyes that kept merging together.

Suddenly, the ground tremored and a green coloured flash of lightning landed.

"Oh no... this is violet coloured! It's violet lightning!"

Fang Yuan felt a chill down his spine. Even if the lightning was not targeting him, he still felt an impending sense of great danger that made him immediately ran for his life as fast as possible.

"Boom!"

Numerous cracks appeared on the cliffs outside and they suddenly exploded.

Under the loud explosion, Fang Yuan's ravaged silhouette could be seen escaping from it.

Fang Yuan turned back and saw the space quivering. He could vaguely see a hillside prosperous land that had countless holes in it. Green coloured lightning swept across crazily and was swarming towards that crack in mid-air.

In the next moment, an invisible force calmed everything. It was as though what Fang Yuan had seen just now was just an illusion.

"This realm's will had made its move and directly destroyed that prosperous land and obliterated that foreign will!"

Fang Yuan had some thoughts as he watched.

Planet Earth Realm's will had its homeground advantage while the opponent merely projected its will over. This projection was not even comparable to the true body of the will, thus, it would naturally be easily destroyed.

But what would happen if the two realms coincide and there were no more advantages?
