210 Takeover (1/2)
Everything would have a soul!
There would be a mountain god in the mountains, a water spirit in the rivers!
Even on pieces of lands, vast oceans, or even planets of worlds, each and every one of these entities would have their own spirits.
Even so, the minds of these spirits move extremely slow and might take up to a thousand years for a single thought! But they exist!
Since they have souls, we can interact with them and access their dreams!
This would be the origin of the cultivation of dream masters!
This also means that in the array lies an array spirit!
Of course, in small arrays, the spirit would be too weak, or it might have even have been developed yet.
However, on first sight, as Fang Yuan looked at the Vermilion Bird, he could confirm that the Vermilion Fiery Array had a living spirit in it!
If the spirit were to be the likes of those in huge mountains or in dead arrays, Fang Yuan would not be able to access their dreams as his ability was still limited.
However, this strong-spirited array was the perfect opportunity for Fang Yuan to strike!
This was similar to the fact that he could not access the dreams of normal plants, but managed to access the dreams of the Sickle Grass and Serrated Flower!
”Weng! Weng!”
In an instant, the fiery Vermilion Bird fell into a daze, and the entire array came to a halt!
In the next moment, following the tremor of the asteroid, energy flowed back into the Vermilion Bird as it snapped out of its trance.
This was the moment Fang Yuan was waiting for!
This Vermilion Fiery Array had its weakness from the beginning. It was burdened by the other three elements, and after fighting with Fang Yuan for an extended period, Fang Yuan had already figured out the rules that the array would abide by, and the mysteries of the array.
This was the opportunity for Fang Yuan!
”Go!”
Fang Yuan executed his Shadowstep. After leaping on a few weak points on the array, he leapt over the fiery wall and arrived in front of the city master.
”You...”
The city master's expression was one of fury and shock. Just as he spoke a word, Fang Yuan exclaimed. ”Die!”
It was a tremendous shout; akin to a tsunami!
In this shout, Fang Yuan not only used his secret technique but also infused in it the dream master's bewildering fog!
Facing this, even the city master, who was a spiritual knight, was dazed.
”Whoosh!”
This was the golden opportunity!
A Wu Zong was already extremely fast; a Meridian Opening Wu Zong was even more so!
In a few moments, he had already arrived in front of the city master as he struck his fist out.
”Bloop!”
A water bubble appeared as it spun in the air with spiritual inscriptions. It had a weird indentation as it blocked the punch for the city master.
”A time-sensitive spiritual treasure?”
Fang Yuan laughed cunningly. ”Even this can't save you! Let the strength of 3 spiritual meridians strike!”
”Kacha! Kacha!”
Three spiritual meridians appeared on his body and disappeared quickly.
At the same time, there were popping sounds coming from his back. Like dominos, the popping sounds travelled down and finally reached his fists, bringing with it an immense amount of force.
”No!”
Finally, the city master was aware of what was happening. Quickly, he ordered the Vermilion Bird to come to his rescue.
But it was too late.
”Whoosh!”
A distinct sound was heard as the bubble popped, allowing Fang Yuan's fist to go through, landing on the city master's body.
After all, he was an array master! Not a Wu Zong!
The outcome was determined from the moment he had allowed a Meridian Opening Wu Zong to come close to him!
Even though the city master was wearing an inner armour and hung a talisman which glowed in spiritual light, all of it was no use!
With an angry grunt, Fang Yuan exploded in strength. In a matter of seconds, he had pushed his own limits.
This fists broke through the city master's robes and landed on his inner armour, forming a huge indentation.
At the same time, an intense tremor was felt through the inner armour and exploded within the city master's body.
”Mmm...”
The crown on the city master's head exploded. His hair was blown and his eyes, nose and ears were bleeding. As he opened his mouth, pieces of his internal organs came out.
There was no way of faking such a death; he was dead beyond hope.
”Eh?”
Fang Yuan could detect a hint of elemental force on the corpse of the city master.
”His soul? His mind? Or his regrets?”
He smiled as his spiritual aura exploded like a burning sun,
”Chi! Chi!”
Suddenly, black smoke started to come out from the corpse, and with it was an intense screeching sound. Finally, the city master's face of resentment exploded.
”The utter destruction of your body and soul would mean that you are truly dead. If you can come back to life, I'll respect you!”
Fang Yuan sighed and looked at the Vermilion Fiery Array.
Although the city master had died, the Vermilion Bird was still a huge trouble for him.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
With the loss of its owner, the Vermilion Bird seemed to have calmed down and was no longer aggressive like before. Instead, it lazily walked about and occasionally pecked its own feathers.
All of its actions made it look like a real living bird, and no one would associate it with a dead array.
”Array techniques are trule impressive!”
Fang Yuan complimented as he walked ahead, trying to stroke its feathers.
”Chirp! Chirp!”
A pillar of flames appeared and started to burn the elemental force on Fang Yuan's hand.
Fang Yuan leapt away and waved his hands as a spiritual meridian appeared. Quickly, he extinguished the fire and repaired his armour.
