Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 1180: Altar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The core of the place of grave danger was an enormous underground cave.

Fang Yuan looked around and immediately realized why Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian had retreated without pursuing it.

Hundreds of void beast kings encircled them, without any blind spots at all. The only way forward was to ram through with brute force.

Even if Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian could do this, they would not be able to maintain the peak state to fight against the Emperor Beast!

“Where is the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss?”

Fang Yuan gazed thoughtfully toward the center surrounded by void beast kings.

There seemed to be a platinum altar condensed entirely of the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss.

Below the altar, an indescribable aura of death congregated, holding all kinds of grievances and unwillingness fermented for hundreds of millions of years, enough to make them all lose color.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air and suddenly understood. “These are... the grievances of the Dao Ancestors who died here in this Final Destination. Does this mean... a natural source of the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss will only be born when the deaths of Dao Ancestors accumulate to a certain amount?”

It was their first time seeing this besides Hu Tian and Jun Tian. Horror and terror struck all of their hearts.

“If that’s the case... the Dao of Heaven takes from what has in excess in order to make good what is deficient. Could no Dao Ancestor attain the third realm because not enough Dao Ancestors have died in the Final Destination?” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji murmured in disbelief.

“Everything is in the transition between life and death. Haha... It’s worth it even if I only get to see this altar this time!” Lord Savage smiled in exultation.

“The natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss... is related to the deceased Dao Ancestors?” Thousand-Eye and Myriad Mountain exchanged glances, uneasy and wary.

Everything happened in an instant.

Some of the hundreds of void beast kings immediately abandoned their defense and pounced at the eight Dao Ancestors.

“All right. It’s time for you to prove yourselves useful!” Both Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian were extremely ruthless at this moment. “Cover both of us to the core for us to kill the Emperor Beast. We’ll see how to distribute the natural source later!”

“Okay!” This was something that they had agreed on in advance, so they started the attack right after they responded.

If the Dao Ancestors had used normal means to deal with the void beast king that blocked their way earlier, now every one of them was truly going all out.

After all, facing dozens of void beast kings meant facing dozens of Dao Ancestors at the second realm. Even Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian would be flustered and use up their vitality.

Roar Roar!

Fang Yuan vomited blood violently from the first wave of attacks.

Fortunately, these void beast kings were not able to cooperate like them. After the first wave of attacks, they separated and fought for themselves.

The six Dao Ancestors defended a side each. The two patriarchs supported them in the middle, and they barely held the attacks off.

“The power of the Great Cosmological Abyss, creating something out of nothing!”

Fang Yuan wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth. He condensed the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss in his hand into a long white saber and struck. “Universe Obliteration!”

One attack eliminated all future possibilities!

The void beast king in front of him split into half and fell like a statue onto the ground.

“Only one attack?” The hearts of many Dao Ancestors trembled.

They had not thought that someone who had just reached the second realm could improve so rapidly!

In particular, the coldness in the eyes of Lord Savage almost materialized.

However, any sabotage at this time was seeking death since they were all besieged by the void beast kings!

It was the same for Fang Yuan as well. Immediately after the first one died, another void beast king launched itself at him.

He did not dare to use the Blade of Universe Obliteration continuously, so he relied on the Blade of Universe.

Otherwise, there would only be one possibility once he was exhausted.

“Fortunately, the void beast kings aren’t as flexible as us!”

Fang Yuan was up to his neck in battles before finding the scene before him clear and realized that they had reached the front line of defense.

Within the line of defense was the army of void beast kings that had yet to move. Their gazes were as though they were looking at corpses.

“Less than half of these void beast kings rushed out. Those left are the true elites...”

Even the most arrogant Lord Savage could feel his scalp go numb, looking at the large formation of void beast kings.

At this distance, even Fang Yuan could feel the extremely condensed light above the altar.

These Dao Ancestors and the so-called secondary power of the Great Cosmological Abyss in the void beast kings were nothing in front of the light. They immediately felt ashamed of themselves.

“It really is... the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss!” Dao Ancestors Myriad Mountain, Feng Hua, and Thousand-Eye exclaimed in excitement.

“Where is the Emperor Beast?” Fang Yuan was on high alert.

If he used the void beast kings just now as reference, then the Emperor Beast could undoubtedly crush him and even Dao Ancestors Jun Tian and Hu Tian.

Yet there was no Emperor Beast even though they could see the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss.

“No, we heard the roar of the Emperor Beast, and... from the expressions of the two patriarchs, we know the Emperor Beast must be here. Is it an invisibility that even the Dao Ancestors can’t detect?”

Fang Yuan was even more alert now.

“Anything blocking me will die!”

“Kill all the way!”

The appearance of the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss was irresistible to the two patriarchs.

The six Dao Ancestors protected them and moved forward in an unprecedented manner.

Countless void beast kings pounced at them immediately.

Rumble!

The shadows of mountains on Myriad Mountain’s body shattered instantly, and he was dragged out of their formation by his arm. Numerous void beast kings savagely tore him apart, flesh and blood splattering.

“Let’s go. No need to bother about him!” The two Dao Ancestors were indifferent, not the least bit moved.

Their eyes were fixated on the four corners of the void, waiting for the attack by the Emperor Beast. Everything else was of no importance to them.

Fang Yuan was very surprised by how they were all about entrusting each other with their lives and were now extremely cruel about it.

Right now, however, losing one Dao Ancestor meant dramatically increased pressure on the remaining five.

“We won’t be able to make it to the center without the help of the two patriarchs!”

Fang Yuan and the remaining four Dao Ancestors had the deepest understanding at that moment.

“Patriarch!” Qing Ji shouted, his body bathed in blood.

“Relax!” Patriarch Jun Tian replied indifferently.

Bang!

Fang Yuan was silently resisting a void beast king. His saber shattered into pieces and fluttered away like butterflies.

He suddenly lowered his head and avoided the bite of a void beast king, but he also created a hole in the defense that they had just formed with difficulty.

“Hmph!” Patriarch Hu Tian snorted coldly and waved his sleeves.

A black shadow appeared with a meter-long sword the thickness of a chopstick. It fluttered around and pierced through the heads of void beast kings, killing them.

“A second-realm Dao Ancestor that we know nothing about. He must be one that cultivated hidden from the world. Dao Ancestor Hu Tian actually found him...”

With a new force joining, Qing Ji and the other Dao Ancestors heaved a small sigh of relief. They restored their defense and escorted the two Dao Ancestors all the way to the altar.

The entire underground space was overflowing with blood, and the remaining Dao Ancestors were covered with wounds and had pale faces.

Even the sword of the vital force that appeared last had broken, and their turban had fallen, revealing a translucent face.

“This is Dao Ancestor Black Thorn, who lives in seclusion in Nine Yin River... We had the affinity to meet, but I didn’t think you would already be at the second realm!” Dao Ancestor Feng Hua smiled.

“It’s truly unbelievable... that we few Dao Ancestors could actually accomplish this!” Dao Ancestor Thousand-Eye looked around.

The corpses of the void beast kings were scattered all over the floor. The remaining dozens of void beast kings lingered at the back, obviously afraid of being killed.

Even if they knew that if they continued, they could wipe out this entire group of Dao Ancestors!

“This is the shortcoming of gaining intelligence and a sense of self... However, the Emperor Beast will not take this lying down. It will be a huge crisis once it shows itself!” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian reminded them with a sneer while attentively watching the surroundings.

“This altar, the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss, and the black river of resentment...” Fang Yuan was mesmerized by the sight in front of him.

The patterns on the altar were visible at this point. A black river flowed through the altar, and it seemed to have the hands of countless unwilling Dao Ancestors inside, trying to grasp anything they could.

The natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss above the altar was even more alluring, making all of them fascinated by it.

After all, as long as they could refine the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss into their Dao Fruits and break through to the third realm, they could break through the Dao Ancestor realm and leave this Final Destination.

Nothing else could be more tempting to the Dao Ancestors who still harbored hope.

“We just don’t know how many people can break through with the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss here...” Fang Yuan sighed.

He had to agree with Patriarch Hu Tian’s worry that there was not enough to share, and the idea of taking advantage was not wrong.

Although this natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss looked bountiful, it was a separate matter of whether or not it could support a Dao Ancestor in their breakthrough.

They might have reached the altar, but they were now actually in a desperate situation.

In front of them were the black river of resentment and the blockade of the Emperor Beast. Behind them were void beast kings that were staring at them and unwilling to move forward.

“This river of Dao Ancestor resentment looks terrifying, but that doesn’t mean there’s no solution!” Dao Ancestor Thousand-Eye stared at the black river, and his words were shocking.

“The resentment of the countless fallen Dao Ancestors gathered in this river is a serious matter, and we’ll probably have to offer a few second-realm blood sacrifices to cross it...” Fang Yuan sighed, saying the fact that Dao Ancestor Thousand-Eye wanted to say but stopped.
