250 Wrapping Things Up (1/2)
”Kacha!”
Amidst the dark clouds, lightning struck everywhere and 5 streaks of purple lightning descended from the heavens! This was a tribulation from the heavens, a backlash from the entire realm!
”We have to give it our all!”
The five dream masters looked at each other and exclaimed.
”Fire Consuming Cauldron!”
”Fiery dragon explosion!”
”Funeral Flowers Chant!”
”Seal!”
The 4 dream masters all revealed their signature moves to counter the purple lightning.
Even Fang Yuan was solemn. His Sixth Elemental Force exploded and together with his fire-type spiritual sword, he sliced towards the purple lightning.
”Rumble!”
As the lightning met with his sword, his hand shook and he retreated, his face looking desolate.
”What on earth...”
Looking at the Leaving Fire Sword, he noticed the spiritual light from it becoming dimmer. It was evident that the sword was damaged, and he let out a soft sigh.
He had restored his full power and could only do so much to counter the tribulation from the heavens. The 4 other dream masters would surely have it worse.
”The power of the tribulation increases as we continue to fight against it.”
Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Fang Yuan laughed coldly. ”If we lose our physical bodies, our souls would be exposed to the elements. Even though we are at the Illusionary Divine stage, our souls would still be captured and it would not be as simple as damaging our original bodies.”
”This is not good...”
Feng Xinzi's robes flew with the wind and his chest started to turn red. Suddenly, he shouted. ”We cannot guess the heaven's intention and it is unwise to go against it. The only way out is to kill the king of Lie Country and obtain the country's realm energy before making our way back!”
Even though they were possessing the bodies of the natives, the heavens could already identify them and the tribulations would only continue.
They could only have a chance of survival if they had the power of the entire world, but how was that possible?
With that, Fang Yuan started to laugh to himself as he heard what Feng Xinzi said.
”Alright!”
However, he was not standing in their shoes as he had already reaped the benefits and would not be without his gains if he returned. Venerable Fiery Dragon and Deity Clear Lotus, on the other hand, would feel the pain as they would have lost everything. Thus, they quickly rushed towards the royal palace.
On the top floors of the royal palace.
”Demons! Demons indeed!”
The king of Lie Country shuddered as he witnessed these five silhouettes killing the First Officer and First Lieutenant, as well as countering the tribulations from the heavens. With that, his legs turned to jelly.
”Protect the king!”
In the royal palace, there were other highly skilled people other than the First Officer and First Lieutenant.
Many servants and generals rushed towards the five of them like grasshoppers trying to block a car.
”Seeking death!”
Against the few desperate dream masters, they all turned into a bloodied mess.
A few unlucky ones even had to undergo the tribulations from the heavens and were struck by lightning.
”King... The capital and royal palace have been invaded. You are no longer the king. Cooperate with us and give us the realm energy, and we might just let your soul free!”
Feng Xinzi struck his palm and a few armoured guards flew away.
Originally, his plan was to gather both Chunhe and Huixin to rebel and force the king to give up his throne and strike while they hand over the dragon's realm energy.
But now, since the heavens had already detected them, the plan was being messed up.
”Rumble!”
The dark clouds covered the entire country and darkness filled every corner of the palace. Within minutes, it had turned into night time.
As the purple lightning struck, the vicinity would be lighted up for a second, illuminating a chaotic capital city and the pale face of the king of Lie Country.
”Quickly hide, king! These demons are undergoing tribulations from the heavens and cannot last long!”
At one side, a servant advised the king.
”It's too late!”
The king laughed. ”I am already dead! Even if I were to die, I will not let these demons get what they want!”
As he spoke, blood began to flow out of his mouth.
”King...”
The servants beside him cried. Without another word, all of them surrounded the king as they attempted to let the king survive a little longer.
”The King of Lie Country dictates that the Country's realm energy will return to the heavens. Heavens, please decide on how you would deal with these demons!”
As the king struggled, he used his blood to write out a few sentences. Within seconds, his face started to bleed as he lost his breath.
As the 5 dream masters rushed upstairs, they were shocked.
A pitiful roar of a dragon was heard and the illusionary shadow of a water dragon fell.
Following, a streak of realm energy as thick as a pillar separated from the water dragon and shot straight into the sky before disappearing.
Everything happened within seconds but Feng Xinzi quickly understood what was happening. ”Despicable!”
”How can the king be so extreme? To destroy his own country?”
Witnessing the scene, Fang Yuan was confused as well.
Originally, even if the king were to kill himself, the dragon's realm energy would be split among the few potential heirs of the throne, with Chunhe and Huixing being the likely recipients.
If that had happened, then everything would have gone according to Feng Xinzi's plan.
But now, by returning the country's realm energy to the heavens, it was destroying all their hopes.
”Ah! Even though you're dead, I will kill all your descendants and burn your soul!!!”
Venerable Fiery Dragon was enraged.
Both Deity Clear Lotus and himself had invested their realm energies and thought that they could gain from it. But now, everything was lost and he was going crazy.
”Rumble!”
