Chapter 351 - 349: Delusional Dream Dies and Enters the Star Sea

Chapter 351: Chapter 349: Delusional Dream Dies and Enters the Star Sea

「Within half a day.」

In the depths of the Abyssal Sea Spirit Abyss, the top figures from many major powers had gathered.

Each of them carried a Pocket World containing their respective forces.

The people within those Pocket Worlds also carried Pocket Worlds.

Thus, almost everyone was prepared to escape the Spirit Realm.

"Delusional Dream."

"Everyone is ready."

"Sufficient Spiritual Artifacts have been placed at all the key positions."

"When do we begin?"

Zhou Xuan, an Eighth Realm cultivator of the Human Race, asked. He too had the Zhou Clan behind him.

Several Seventh Realm cultivators from the Zhou Clan were waiting behind him.

"Since you’re in such a hurry, why don’t you take this position?" Delusional Dream sneered.

Zhou Xuan shot him a disgusted look and fell silent.

Any sane person knew this array eye was dangerous.

But who was willing to stick their neck out?

No one was.

It was obviously the position where the Array’s Karmic Fire would erupt.

After a while.

"Everyone, let’s begin." Delusional Dream smiled, but as he looked at the surrounding Eighth Realm Cultivators, a trace of solemnity entered his eyes.

All eyes turned to Delusional Dream.

"Activate it, everyone."

"We’re ready."

Delusional Dream walked to his position in the Array.

He glanced around.

Runes flashed across the surrounding Array, communicating with heaven and earth, awakening Dao Essence, and stirring Dao Principles.

The surroundings began to grow incredibly hot.

Gradually...

A power that purified the soul and burned away karma—the power of Karmic Fire—began to emerge.

The Array had been triggered.

The great figures present had all retreated, hiding in fear.

"Sigh..."

"Sometimes, I really don’t know what to say," Delusional Dream said, feigning relaxation.

"Everyone, it’s time to go."

"Another lifetime of experiences has passed. In the days to come, let us meet again in the Star Sea."

The Array was now irreversible, and the Energy from the Spiritual Artifacts had been completely absorbed.

It was summoning the power of the Karmic Fire.

Shangyang, however, couldn’t help but curse, "Damn it!"

"That bastard, he tricked us!"

But it was too late. The Karmic Fire erupted, about to engulf Delusional Dream.

Delusional Dream was seen letting out a final, quiet sigh. "A fleeting life meets a grand dream; by karma, Dao is born and extinguished. I know not where I go, thus I know not life from death."

"Everyone, farewell!"

Before the eyes of everyone present, Delusional Dream Demon Venerable was engulfed by the Karmic Fire as if completing a performance.

As the Karmic Fire blazed, it corroded all traces of Delusional Dream’s existence. Yet, despite the agony, he didn’t cry out at all.

Even the memories within his soul were burned completely clean.

Delusional Dream’s purified soul drifted toward the Star Sea.

When the Karmic Fire arose, a rift truly did tear open amidst the endless blaze at the heart of the Array.

A true view of the Star Sea appeared—a deathly silent expanse of black, different from the stars in the sky.

Everyone could see their chance to leave.

They paid no mind to what Delusional Dream had just said.

Delusional Dream wasn’t close to anyone present, so who would grieve for him?

No one would.

Everyone stared eagerly at the area where the Karmic Fire burned.

They were just waiting for the Karmic Fire to diminish.

But gradually, the Karmic Fire had been burning for nearly an hour.

A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the powerful figures present.

Just as the Karmic Fire was about to die down, the Spirit Realm’s barrier actually closed.

The Karmic Fire had not yet fully dissipated. If anyone dared to charge in, they would likely only meet their death.

Everyone within their Pocket World would perish.

Just like Delusional Dream Demon Venerable, they would be reduced to a purified soul and drift off into the Star Sea.

"He lied to us! Damn him!"

"Heh!"

"We were played after all." Shangyang watched as the Karmic Fire faded.

The fire in his eyes went out with it.

He truly felt a sense of despair.

Now that this method had failed, only the most dangerous option remained.

That was to use the original plan.

To escape the collapsing heavens.

"Every word was true, but the reality was a lie!"

"Good one, kid. I’ll remember this." The leading Profound Dragon King transformed directly into his Dragon form and flew away.

Following the Dragon King’s departure, everyone else began to leave one by one.

Indeed.

He had broken the Spirit Realm’s barrier for nearly an hour, but he never said the Karmic Fire would dissipate in time.

Besides, Delusional Dream really did leave.

But it was no different from entering the cycle of reincarnation.

No, there was a difference. Entering the Spirit Realm’s cycle of reincarnation might allow one to retain their memories.

But entering the Karmic Fire meant true, genuine reincarnation.

Starting over from scratch.

The truth was, nobody wanted to take the gamble. They wanted to wait for the Karmic Fire to fade so they could leave the Spirit Realm safely.

They never expected that after spending so many resources, none of them would be the winner.

Even Delusional Dream Demon Venerable wasn’t really a winner.

Shangyang sighed softly. Beside him, Qing Yang stood stunned.

He stared intently at the spot.

"What are you looking at? Let’s go," Shangyang said with a sigh.

"Teacher, do you think I could shatter the Spirit Realm’s barrier with a single sword strike?"

"One day, you will," Shangyang replied. ’But not now,’ he added silently.

Right now, Qing Yang was just a Seventh Realm Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivator.

As for the three Dragon Kings of the Dragon Race, they normally avoided conflict.

They only wanted to propagate their race and find a good place for the Dragon Race to survive.

As for why they didn’t act when the two Eighth Realm Human Race Cultivators were injured before...

It was because they feared the final, desperate counterattack of two dying Eighth Realm experts.

...

...

After this farcical event.

「Within a month.」

The many great powers of the Abyss Sea had come to settle around Qingsu Island.

The area was filled with dense Immortal Qi. Why would they refuse?

There was another reason: they hoped that when the heavens collapsed, the Array of this Immortal Realm’s master would be able to withstand the devastation.

That was why they began to put down roots here.

...

"Master, we’ve been waiting here for so long."

"Why are you waiting for Isle Lord Su to come out?" Qing Yang asked, puzzled.

"Isle Lord Su departed using an Immortal Array. I wonder, if I give him this Array Map, if he can figure out something about the Thirty-Six Layers of Karmic Fire Fierce Array."

"And hopefully, break through the Spirit Realm’s barrier."

"I don’t know why, but I feel a growing sense of panic," Shangyang sighed.

The residential area in the center of Qingsu Island was completely inaccessible.

There was no way to find him.

Shangyang could only wait.

And so he waited.

For more than six months.

During that time, besides the Zhengxuan Sect from the Great World in the sky, which was constantly causing a stir, there weren’t many other Cultivators making trouble.

Everyone was focused on absorbing the Immortal Qi for their Cultivation.

Immortal Qi extended one’s lifespan, and the speed of Cultivation using it was hundreds of times faster than absorbing Spiritual Qi.

No Cultivator could resist such a temptation.

Even with so many Cultivators gathered around Qingsu Island...

...the Immortal Qi still overflowed for dozens of miles beyond the island.

It was still slowly spilling out.

This caused some mortals to directly transform into Longevity Seeds—the kind who could live for over ten thousand years without even needing to practice Cultivation.

As for the other Cultivators, it went without saying.

They had all become Longevity Seeds.

Unfortunately, this was a trait that could not be inherited.

...

Beneath the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King, the Tree King had already wrapped its root system around Su Qing.

It enveloped Su Qing with its Immortal Power.

Acting as his protector.

This was especially true recently.

Su Qing had become completely immersed in his Enlightenment.

—

Host: Su Qing

Realm: Immortal Realm (Transforming...) [Immortal Shedding Creation Technique: Perfection] [God Demon Devouring Universe Map]

—

This was the most profound transformation Su Qing had ever undergone.

Now, his Immortal Body was beginning to merge with his Immortal Soul.

A phenomenon had started to appear around Su Qing.

Even though he was enveloped by the Tree King...

...the phenomenon of a Primordial Dao Field had appeared, hanging high within the Immortal Realm.

The Dao Field phenomenon frequently emitted Yin Yang Dao Essence, nourishing everyone in the vicinity.

The crowd of cultivators all opened their eyes one by one, staring at the phenomenon beneath the tree.
