Chapter 388 - 379: Peak of the 5th Tier, Kunpeng Saint Body

The real world.

Burying Moon Mountain, the cluster of Dream Worlds.

While Fang Yang was cracking Jiang Yuan's Great Sage Dream Realm, the White Tiger Demon Lord was also taking action.

The current White Tiger Demon Lord had transformed from a humble Tier One Cyan Tiger Demon.

He certainly had his own ideas about how to save his own skin.

If there was one thing he didn't lack, it was a bandit's audacity.

Now, he sought to avoid a direct confrontation with Fang Yang.

To this end, his first move was to gather those he deemed trustworthy.

Zhong Zunyang, Xiao Sanxuan, Cha Mo, Lin Xianfan... and others.

Lin Xianfan, like Xiao Sanxuan, was a ranked member of the Ten Thousand Flames Hall. He was number five, placing him behind Xiao Sanxuan.

It was worth noting that among this group of young Great Saints, neither Qi Xuanxian nor the Seventh Prince were present.

In other words, the White Tiger Demon Lord had deliberately avoided the people of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Zhong Zunyang, Xiao Sanxuan, and Lin Xianfan all noticed this as well.

In an instant, everyone's expressions shifted.

"The Great Xuan is powerful, and with the Dragon Lady on their side, must we truly submit to them completely?"

The White Tiger Demon Lord lowered his gaze, scrutinizing everyone's faces as he spoke, word by word.

He wanted the many venerable Dao lineages to collude in secret and form a mutual protection pact.

This was in hopes that a third Young Venerable would emerge before Sen Yue and the Great Sun Dragon Lady could potentially descend upon the battlefield.

This wasn't just a concern for Fang Yang; it was a worry for all the young Great Saints, especially for someone as exceedingly cautious as the White Tiger Demon Lord.

After all, no one could guarantee whether those two Young Venerables would arrive.

It was an Immortal Sword hanging high above their heads, ready to fall at any moment and claim their lives!

RUSTLE...

The moment the White Tiger Demon Lord finished speaking, the room filled with the sounds of people abruptly rising from their seats.

First, Xiao Sanxuan and Lin Xianfan left with a flick of their sleeves, followed by Zhong Zunyang and the other young Great Saints, who took to the air and departed.

Their actions were incredibly decisive!

In just a few breaths, the building was empty, leaving only the White Tiger Demon Lord, Cha Mo, and a few other beings from the Red Flame Demon Country.

Cha Mo asked with a worried expression, "Demon Lord, wasn't this move a bit too hasty?"

The White Tiger Demon Lord smiled and shook his head. "Hasty? Not at all."

'Because he knew they were all secretly tempted.'

'Besides, these young Great Saints were the perfect targets for his alliance-building against Fang Yang.'

'If Fang Yang dared to make a move against him, he would surely face a fierce backlash!'

...

...

「The next day.」

At the site of the Great Sage Dream Realm, which resembled a Golden Giant Cauldron.

Fang Yang regained consciousness, decisively transformed into a blaze of fiery light, and quietly withdrew.

He left without a single look back.

「A quarter-hour later.」

The Golden Giant Cauldron exploded with a deafening BOOM, transforming into countless points of fiery light that surged in all directions.

A dreamstorm.

It was a dreamstorm!

"No!"

"Ahhh...!"

The enemy soldiers lying in ambush nearby screamed in agony and perished on the spot.

The massive explosion instantly drew the attention of both friendly and enemy armies.

At that very moment, Fang Yang, the architect of all this, was still on the move.

...

"CRACK! CRACK! CRUNCH!"

Inside Fang Yang's second Void Acupoint, the sound of devouring gradually arose.

It was the phantom of the Dream Emperor, devouring the miniature Golden Giant Cauldron.

With a HUM, the miniature Golden Giant Cauldron completely dissipated.

The next moment, a vast torrent of primordial energy erupted from the second Void Acupoint, circulating throughout his body and passing into the first Void Acupoint.

The first to change was, naturally, the second Void Acupoint.

The color of the True Essence in his second Void Acupoint had changed from bright gold to a magenta-purple.

Magenta-purple was the color of True Essence at the Tier Five Middle realm!

Not only that, but the White Jade Immortal Flute at the Dream Emperor phantom's waist was also faintly glowing, having shed its darkness to regain its luster.

Another innate Magic was coalescing!

As the White Jade Immortal Flute took form, layers upon layers of Mystical Skills from various schools of the Dream Dao flowed through Fang Yang's mind.

That familiar feeling was back.

It was the premonition of his mastery over a school of techniques increasing!

'I... I'm a Dream Dao Master now!?' Fang Yang was stunned.

'This transformation had indeed come rather quickly, somewhat exceeding my expectations.'

Besides that, a blurry, indistinct remnant of a White Tiger's phantom appeared before the Dream Emperor phantom.

[White Tiger Remnant]

A Tier Six Dream Dao Sacred Material, brimming with a domineering Evil Qi, seemingly related to the "Dao of Slaughter."

Refining it can increase one's own killing intent, making techniques more powerful—capable of not only killing the body, but also shattering the soul.

'This must be the Tier Six opportunity,' Fang Yang thought, his eyes gradually brightening.

The next moment, the Red Gold Ruyi Sword hummed and devoured the White Tiger remnant in one gulp.

Visibly, the Dream Emperor phantom itself was also transforming.

It showed signs of ascending from a Grade A Spirit Body to a Perfect Spirit Body!

...

The transformation of the second Void Acupoint was immense.

Of course, Fang Yang was more concerned with his first Void Acupoint.

Now, the first Void Acupoint had also received a great fortune.

The refinement of the Kunpeng phantom's eyes had directly reached 81%, a remarkable improvement.

At 81%, he had already fully met the standard for Tier Five Peak.

As for 100%, that meant he could trigger the tribulation for ascending to Sainthood at any time.

Therefore, Fang Yang unhesitatingly spurred the Kunpeng phantom to charge the Crystal Membrane within his first Void Acupoint.

"HISS~"

A faint sound began to rise.

The True Essence in Fang Yang's first Void Acupoint had already evolved from deep purple to a crystalline purple.

Once it was completely crystalline purple, the Kunpeng Divine Feather immediately bloomed with divine light, illuminating the entire True Essence Sea of the first Void Acupoint.

The next moment, the Kunpeng Divine Feather dissipated, and the Kunpeng phantom solidified.

The Kunpeng Dharma Aspect! The Kunpeng Sacred Body!

Effortless.

Utterly effortless.

Fang Yang hadn't experienced the near-death process that other Cultivators went through; he had completed it with extreme ease.

In that instant, a feeling of immense power overflowed from the depths of his being.

This feeling was one of physical strength, spiritual grandeur, and, even more so, his command over the forces of heaven and earth.

His control over the forces of heaven and earth had increased dramatically.

He was truly a living Kunpeng now. As long as he cultivated step-by-step, he was destined to become a Great Saint!

"BANG—"

The moment the Kunpeng Sacred Body formed, the Dream Emperor phantom's imperial black robe trembled.

The imperial black robe was an innate Magic of both the Dao of Luck and the Dream Dao, its rank at least equivalent to the [Mysterious Realm].

With a single stir of the imperial black robe, Fang Yang's newly surging fortune and destiny were concealed in the blink of an eye.

'So that's how it is?' Fang Yang mused.

'I'm really being watched by all sides at all times. Perhaps even the Great Sun Dragon Lady is observing my fortune and destiny.'

Now that he had finally entered the Tier Five Peak realm, condensed the Kunpeng Sacred Body, and gained the means to protect himself, the great weight in his heart began to lift.

...

...

The dissipation of the Great Sage Dream Realm left the Great Xuan's Eldest Princess, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the White Tiger Demon Lord, and others with differing thoughts.

Some were astonished, some were bewildered, and some were even... terrified.

It was a fear of the unknown!

This was a Great Sage Level Dream World, second only to a Venerable's dream realm.

One had to understand, not even the earth-shattering war initiated by Han Wu the Sub-Venerable had been able to make it dissipate.

And now, it had just... dissipated?

One could only imagine how terrifying the power capable of making it dissipate must be.

Everyone hoped that it had dissipated naturally.

But what if it hadn't?

Without a clear understanding of the situation, the Eldest Princess and the others did not plan to act rashly.

...

Meanwhile.

Silver Phoenix, Su Xi, and their group were also wary of this development.

The dissipation of the Great Sage Dream Realm was too sudden.

Until they could understand the reason, the great weight in their hearts could not be set down.

...

After Fang Yang returned, he learned that due to the dissipation of the Great Sage Dream Realm, Silver Phoenix and Su Xi had adjusted their strategy accordingly.

Furthermore, the Seventh Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Great Xuan's Eldest Princess, and the others also seemed to have "slowed down."

Upon first hearing of this change, he smiled to himself.

'What a fortunate accident.'
