Carefree Path of Dreams

Beep Beep!

A piercing red light and siren came from the ark. It increased speed and disappeared from sight.

The white light was still wobbling, not knowing that it had just had a brush with danger.

“But truthfully speaking, I’m probably the disaster?”

Fang Yuan was thinking about the influence of a Dao Fruit on a universe, though mostly on natural sources.

For example, if he had had the intention, he could have destroyed that ark in an instant. Or even more miserable, perhaps his Dream Dao Fruit could have affected it to produce distortions similar to radiation and even mental pollution.

“Perhaps this way, I’ll have a race of my own, the race of dreams?” He smirked slightly. “Dream Master is the profession while the race of dreams is the bloodline… And the Dream Dao Fruit is the source of everything!

“However, to have discovered two civilizations today, my luck is pretty decent. Perhaps a universe is nearby…”

It was too risky to venture into the Huaxia Universe just like that. Fang Yuan had long made up his mind to find a transit point and consolidate his strength.

“My foundation is the Dream Dao Fruit. The rest are half of the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit and the Connate Undying Great Dao, Void Great Dao, and Time Great Dao. Of external objects, the most important is that eyeball!”

With this thought, Fang Yuan’s hand flashed, and a black bead appeared.

The eyeball was not only about the external manifestation. There were some natural sources. For example, in order to meet his personal preference, it had reduced in size, though the mysterious aura had not diminished.

“Destruction Dao Fruit? Annihilation Dao Fruit?” He felt the aura in this eyeball carefully, though it was still difficult to conclude. “It seems it’s not a Dao Fruit. It’s a strange object… An object with natural sources… related to the destruction of a universe.”

There was a boundless space like a miniature universe in the eyeball.

The core of this universe was a strange rune.

This symbol was similar to the letter ‘Z’, like a meandering dragon or snake, multidimensional and complex, exuding an unparalleled mysterious force.

“If I can absorb its essence, the benefits it will bring won’t be less than a Dao Fruit…”

Fang Yuan hesitated.

He decided to study it thoroughly before doing anything. He would not simply absorb an unknown object.

Moreover, that Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend had started to self-destruct after opening this eye. It was not a joke, and he could not take it lightly.

“The most crucial is my cultivation after Dao Fruit…”

The road of cultivation had no end. He believed he could definitely continue to climb higher even if his current position was at the peak of his known knowledge.

Even if there was no further road in front, he could be the pioneer of his own path.

“After the Dao Fruit realm, I have to use all sorts of methods to increase my ability to display the power of several Dao Fruits… However, this seems to be a dead end. I would only be increasing my combat strength but stagnating at my realm…

“So, is there another realm after Dao Fruit? If so, what is it?

“And if not, how am I going to create it? From the Space-Time Great Dao? This is probably one of the most fundamental Great Daos…”

…

All kinds of thoughts were born in his sea of consciousness and were accepted by the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit. It started its computation rapidly.

“Every Dao Fruit is unique with its own splendor. The Heaven Rise Dao Fruit’s ability lies in the analysis and calculation of known information to derive the complete and subsequent information. Given enough time, it could derive the true Space-Time Great Dao based on my Void Great Dao and Time Great Dao. It could even analyze the secrets of the Eyeball of Destruction…”

The power of this Dao Fruit was rather useful. Even if it was only half, it was enough to become a key element that Fang Yuan would use.

“What kind of power would it have if it were whole? Dao Ancestor Heaven Rise was definitely a very powerful Dao Fruit existence. His combat power should have been at least at five Dao Fruits. Why did he fall?”

Fang Yuan could not help being curious and vigilant about everything that was happening in the Huaxia Universe.

“I need another three hundred years to derive the Space-Time Great Dao, and another ten thousand to decode the information in the Eyeball of Destruction. Is there no end to this?”

After a short while, a lot of information flowed out from the half Heaven Rise Dao Fruit, causing Fang Yuan’s face to change.

“The only possibility to accelerate this is to obtain the other half of the Dao Fruit…”

He could not help but feel helpless. Who knew where the other half of the Dao Fruit was. It might have even been destroyed.

“In fact, even if I manage to obtain the entire Heaven Rise Dao Fruit, it’ll just be another strange object similar to this Eyeball of Destruction… Although I could refine it to increase my combat power, it doesn’t mean that I’ve achieved a second Dao Fruit! I’d simply be digesting its characteristics! In the Great Cosmological Abyss, the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit is vacant. I wonder if it’s possible to become a second Dao Ancestor Heaven Rise, or is this a blocked Dao path…”

His instincts told him that the second possibility was closer to the truth.

All Dao Fruits were unique throughout all the universes. They could not transfer even through death.

With these thoughts, Fang Yuan returned to the rainbow channel and poured all of his energy into searching for other universes.

Three hundred years passed by in the blink of an eye.

Finally, he managed to merge the Void Great Dao and the Time Great Dao through the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit into the Space-Time Great Dao.

He immediately began to comprehend the Connate Space-Time Undying Great Dao.

“The Daoist needs to integrate, not dissipate. Dispersion will render me powerless!

“My Connate Undying Space-Time Great Dao is progressing, but the pace of decoding the Eyeball of Destruction is still proceeding pretty slowly. Quite disappointing… Also, the search for another universe is still posing a problem!”

Fang Yuan shook his head darkly. His Dream Dao Fruit was the legacy of the Dream Master Dao path brought to greater heights, and the Super Dimensional Traversal power was one of the best among the many Dao Fruits.

But even he had such trouble finding a new universe, not to mention other Dao Fruits.

…

Another few millenniums passed by. Nothing seemed to have changed in the Great Cosmological Abyss. There was still no concept of time and space within it, and everything seemed to have stopped. It was enough to drive anyone crazy.

“Seems like I was super lucky to have met those two civilizations previously…”

Fang Yuan smiled suddenly. “Fortunately, I have the rainbow channel and the coordinates of the Huaxia Universe, so I have a general direction… According to my senses, I should be roughly halfway there?”

He slowed down and activated the power of the Heaven Rise Dao Fruit to search for other universes.

“Hmm? There’s some form of energy in that direction. Only outsiders can achieve this in the Great Cosmological Abyss!”

Fang Yuan’s spiritual will reached far and wide and finally found something. He changed the direction of the rainbow channel.

“I can feel the aura of a Grand Primordium. The other party is definitely a Grand Primordium in exile!”

He sped up excitedly and finally saw a patch of darkness looming in front of him.

The Great Cosmological Abyss was devoid of things, so even this patch of darkness was valuable. It was surely man-made, similar to Fang Yuan’s rainbow channel.

At the edge of this darkness were many thin, black tentacles, as though they were exploring everything in the Great Cosmological Abyss.

Fang Yuan paused and gave it some thought before deliberately exposing himself and sending a friendly signal through his spiritual will.

However, that black mist exploded immediately.

A chaotic and insane spiritual will shot at him with absolute malice.

Bloop! Bloop!

From the black mist, a tentacle stretched out toward Fang Yuan. Every sucker had an eyeball on it with brownish-yellow pus.

“What is this? A half-mad Dao Ancestor? Or is this its true nature?”

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised as he stretched out his right hand. “Return!”

Bang!

A colorful hand emerged, grabbed the disgusting tentacle, and tore it apart ruthlessly.

Buzz Buzz!

The humming of insects hissed out. A massive number of flying insects appeared at the break and spread continuously.

“The Master Living Above the Lonely Stars, the Astral World Traveler, the Ruler of the Resistors and the Planet of Demon Insects, the Lord of Chaos and Madness, the Darling of Darkness—Omar Kyege Sars…”

After this brief contact, Fang Yuan understood the other party’s foundation through purely the power of the Dao Fruit.

In particular, its true name resembled a ritual, bringing attention once it was read.

Of course, his own information leaked out in this exchange at the same time.

The demon insects hissed and attacked Fang Yuan.

“His strength is roughly at one-and-a-half Dao Fruits. However, it’s very weird, and his power of contamination is very strong as well…”

Even Grand Primordium Immortal Xuan Qing and the others would have a tough time if they were to fight this Astral World Traveler head-on.

However, Fang Yuan came from the Mental Demon Realm, that strange and polluted world, and was naturally resistant to this contamination.

“Fire!”

He snapped his fingers, and a green flame appeared in the Great Cosmological Abyss. It was very strange.

The demon insects went crazy and rushed into it, sizzling and turning into pus.

“I was treating you with respect, but it seems like it’s not working…” Fang Yuan sighed deeply and sent his saber into the black mist. “Light of Universe!”

The black mist dissipated, revealing the true body of that ugly monster.

“Hehe… It really is a collection of warped chaos… How ugly…”

He pursed his lips and watched this monster growl. It broke off a few of its tentacles and retreated quickly.

“It called itself the Astral World Traveler. Is this Great Cosmological Abyss the Astral World to it? In that case… perhaps it holds the coordinates of a universe or even knows the secret of traversing freely through the universes?”

Fang Yuan’s eyes brightened, and he gave chase.

“Eh?”

While leaving, he gazed thoughtfully at the things it had left behind.

A few tentacles fused with the ashes of the demon insects and turned into a huge black ball of flesh. It seemed to be breeding some monster.

“Omar Kyege Sars…” A shout seemed to come from it.

“This thing…” Fang Yuan looked at the eyeball of destruction in his hand. He swiped his right hand, and a layer of rainbow light enveloped the ball of flesh. The crazed shrieking disappeared as it shrank and transformed into a big black book.
