Carefree Path of Dreams - Chapter 1179

Place of grave danger—in front of a dark cave.
This was one of the several core void beast lairs in this place, and almost one-third of all void beasts would make a pilgrimage here from time to time.
It was precisely because of the large numbers of these fierce beasts gathered here that rarely any Dao Ancestors explored this place.
Of course, this record was broken previously.
Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian had joined forces to break in all the way to the depths of the caves and even felt the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss!
And it was also because of this great potential benefit that the two sides had split, causing the great battle between Huaxia and Huxia, with both parties suffering losses and deaths.
“Is this the entrance to the caves?” Fang Yuan gazed at the canyon soaring into the clouds in front of him.
“That’s right… It can only be considered as the entrance to the caves, but there are also a large number of void beasts. An ordinary Dao Ancestor would die immediately upon entering. It will be troublesome even for us if we are entangled within!” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji explained by the side.
Fang Yuan looked at their group. Their leader was naturally Dao Ancestor Jun Tian, and there was also a female Dao Ancestor named Feng Hua.
“Patriarch Jun Tian, you’re here early!” Patriarch Hu Tian appeared, angry like a mad teacher, flying wildly.
Behind him was a nine-foot man dressed in beast skin with bulging muscles and a savage aura. He was Lord Savage.
“Fellow Daoist Myriad Mountain and Fellow Daoist Thousand-Eye, why not show yourselves since you’re here!” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian raised his head and stared at the void.
“Greetings, Fellow Daoist!” The other two Dao Ancestors returned the greeting and slowly emerged. One of them had the appearance of a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe with myriad mountains on it, and the other was a human-shaped dense fog that had countless open eyes in the middle.
“Most of the void beasts in this canyon are only chickens and dogs, but there are some commanders and kings among them. It’ll be troublesome if we get entangled with them. Does anyone have a good plan?” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian asked with a smile, looking meaningfully at Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain.
“All right. I know you’re hinting about my Myriad Mountain Robe…” Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain shook his head helplessly, but still flicked his sleeves.
Buzz Buzz!
The thousands of mountains and rivers embroidered onto his robe suddenly seemed to come alive like a dream. The mountains stacked together, wrapping the eight Dao Ancestors present into the robe.
Such a magical power might be common in the outside world, but it was quite astonishing in the Final Destination.
“Within my magical power, void beasts, even the commanders, won’t be able to find us…”
Under the protection of Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain, Fang Yuan followed the rest into the canyon. The void beasts viewed them as part of them. Fang Yuan nodded in appreciation since he knew that an ordinary void beast was roughly equivalent to a Dao Ancestor.
A void beast commander was equivalent to the first realm, a king the second, and the Emperor Beast was at the peak of the second realm.
Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain could conceal them from ordinary void beasts and commanders, but he could definitely not conceal them from void beast kings.
However, they were only at the entrance. They would not be so unlucky that they would bump into a void beast king straight away.
The group quickly continued on in silence. Before long, they came to the depths of the canyon and saw a huge abyss.
This abyss seemed to be opening its mouth wide open, vomiting out many void beasts.
“The real danger is below. Be careful. There are too many void beasts there, and more than half of them are commanders. There are occasionally kings as well…” Dao Ancestor Hu Tian reminded and then jumped in first. Fang Yuan, Dao Ancestor Jun Tian, and the rest naturally followed closely behind.
…
Whoosh Whoosh!
Wind on both sides filled the ears, and it took them a while before landing on firm ground.
Fang Yuan could see everything in the darkness.
This was a massive underground cave, and the walls were inlaid with many white crystals that vibrated with the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss.
“Is this the crystallization of the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss? Just a passage probably possesses tens of thousands of void pills?”
They attracted Fang Yuan’s gaze, but he also knew that it would be a dream for Dao Ancestors below the second realm to get past the terrifying defense above.
Moreover, Dao Ancestors at the second realm could extract the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss themselves in the first place, so why would they care about this?
“We’ll know that we’re on the right path if these crystals become more densely concentrated… This was also the method that we used to find the natural source of the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss last time. But we have to be cautious as well. The deeper we go, the higher the level of these void beasts!” Dao Ancestor Hu Tian reminded solemnly.
The underground tunnels extended in all directions, and they seemed to head all the way down deep into the center of the world.
They found the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss more concentrated the more they followed the crystals. In the end, all the caves were brimming with translucent platinum light.
The entrances of the passages were enormous. Fang Yuan and the others walked through the tunnels like eight little ants.
“Be careful. There’s a group of void beast commanders in front. Get around it!”
Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain’s Myriad Mountain Robe was truly worthy of being the treasure of a Dao Ancestor. Not only did he manage to fool the eyes of many void beasts, but he also managed to fool their commanders.
Fang Yuan and the rest leaned against the wall and slipped past many void beasts.
These void beast commanders had giant bodies with a sword-like bulge on their backs and a huge thorn hammer at the end of their tails.
Although their eyes were wide open, they could not detect the people passing by.
Suddenly, a roar thundered.
“Not good!” Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain was startled as he saw a smaller beast emerging from the back of a void beast commander.
Its entire body seemed to be made of Great Cosmological Abyss crystal, and none of the Dao Ancestors could detect it hidden on the body of a leader.
The sound waves from this roar rolled and even directly tore apart the Myriad Mountain Robe, revealing the eight Dao Ancestors!
“It’s a void beast king! Kill it quickly!”
Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian rushed forward immediately as they transmitted their voices. “We’ll deal with this king. You kill the commanders. We’ll solve it in three breaths and meet at the end of this passage!”
“Were we discovered? So a void beast king looks like this!”
Fang Yuan’s Blade of Universe flashed, killing several void beast commanders.
“Not necessarily. Void beast kings have different appearances. Some are as gigantic as mountains, while some are even smaller than ordinary beasts, like that one over there…” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji explained as green vines flew out, strangling the void beast commanders to death.
However, what truly amazed Fang Yuan was the power of the two leaders.
When they finished dealing with the void beast commanders, they heard a low roar. The void beast king was torn apart and exploded into crystal powder.
“Why are you stopping? Run!”
All of them quickly fled the scene under the lead of Dao Ancestors Hu Tian and Jun Tian.
Angry howls came from behind right after.
“Bring them on a wild goose chase before we ditch them!”
Dao Ancestor Hu Tian had a leisurely attitude. Obviously, it was not very difficult for him to kill a void beast king that was equivalent to a second-realm Dao Ancestor.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan only kept silent.
The peak of the second realm, an invincible existence among Dao Ancestors, truly exceeded his imagination.
Is this the strength of the two leaders? Ordinary second-realm Dao Ancestors are just dogs to them. Their only rivals are only each other… Fang Yuan sighed.
Of course, somewhere in the depths of these caves, the Emperor Beast that guarded the core might be even stronger than these two.
But that was only in the case of them fighting alone. Only death awaited it with all the Dao Ancestors working together.
After some distance, Dao Ancestor Hu Tian stopped everyone with a serious expression. “All right, we’ve passed the safest route. There will only be danger from now on, with void beast kings guarding every level…”
“The last time, Jun Tian and I infiltrated several lines of defense before we finally found the core place and the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss… But the last line of defense is made up of many void beast kings, so we couldn’t infiltrate. We’ll have to force our way through, and this will depend on you…”
The two strongest leaders would naturally need to conserve their energy to deal with the Emperor Beast.
The other Dao Ancestors exchanged glances and had no objections.
“In that case… let’s go!”
Dao Ancestor Jun Tian nodded. Everyone immediately turned into eight rays of light and rushed into the passage overflowing with lights.
Roar Roar!
At the end of this passage was a colossal void beast king that looked like a giant turtle, lying on the ground with twelve huge crystal palms.
Upon sensing the auras of enemies, it stood up and let out a roar that resembled one between a turtle and a dragon. Its huge arms swung back and forth, blocking all the passages.
They would obviously need to ram their way through if they wanted to get past it.
“Die!”
Fang Yuan and the rest did not hold back as many rays fell on this void beast king.
“Blade of Universe!”
“Qing Ji Slaughter!”
“Feng Hua Dao Fruit!”
2
“Wild Battle Banner!”
“Thousand Eye Curse!”
“Weight of Myriad Mountains!”
How terrifying was the force of six Dao Ancestors at the second realm attacking? Probably even Hu Tian and Jun Tian would have to avoid them.
And right now, they were all concentrating their efforts on one point.
After a loud noise, cracks appeared on the body of the void beast king, and it shattered like ice.
Roar Roar!
When this void beast king died, another roar came from even deeper in the caves.
Every void beast that heard the roar had blood-red light appear on their bodies as they went berserk.
Fang Yuan and the rest felt their chests tighten, as though they were stared at by some peerless fierce beast.
“It’s the Emperor Beast! It’s summoning other void beasts. Let’s go!”
Dao Ancestors Jun Tian and Hu Tian rushed to the next level without stopping.
Fang Yuan and the rest quickly followed.
They reached the deepest part of the caves after this passage.
There was an enormous underground space with massive Great Cosmological Abyss crystals illuminating.
Circling them were void beast kings with crystal-like translucent bodies, and they seemed to be playing with their prey.
“We’ve reached the core of the place of grave danger!”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath as he gazed at the center of these void beast kings, his expression burning.
