1129 Tribulation (1/2)
”The Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend is the true body of the natural source of destruction. If we can eliminate it, we will certainly receive the blessing of the universe, greatly improving our cultivation, and push back the destruction of this universe immensely…” Patriarch Lei Jin continued explaining.
The benefits would double with this exchange, so it was no surprise that some Grand Primordium Immortals were tempted.
However, Fang Yuan knew that only some of the patriarchs were the risk-taking type. The remaining ones were those that did not want their worlds, disciples, and relatives to perish.
”How could I refuse such an attractive proposal?” Fang Yuan gave an affirmative reply thinking about it.
He had to do so. Otherwise, he would be besieged by other Grand Primordium Immortals and forced to leave this universe.
Speaking of which, even if he left now, he had already earned a fortune with the completion of his Dream Dao Fruit. However, Fang Yuan was still very interested in the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend and wanted to stay to see how things would unfold.
Only Grand Primordiums were qualified and had the confidence to do so. The likes of Grand Supremes could only struggle to survive.
”May I know how many other Fellow Daoists are involved and who the leader is?” Fang Yuan actually wanted to ask about the detailed combat information of each Grand Primordium Immortal. However, Patriarch Lei Jin would obviously not tell him such information even if he knew.
”With you, there are five! There is no leader!” Patriarch Lei Jin answered frankly.
From this point, Fang Yuan knew that these Grand Primordium Immortals should have similar strengths.
If someone had been clearly more powerful than the rest, they would have naturally become the leader.
With that thought, he agreed to the alliance. ”It's settled then!”
To Grand Primordium Immortals, having the universe's Heavenly Dao be a witness was useless. Their word was enough.
As for credibility issues? When the time came, all the Grand Primordium involved would be present, and they would naturally monitor each other.
Even if someone did not show up, they would not be able to sabotage the others, or rather, could not be bothered to sabotage.
After understanding this, Fang Yuan had to admit that the outlook of Grand Primordium Immortals was on a totally different level compared to that of Grand Supreme Immortals.
…
The day of the expedition soon arrived.
Fang Yuan led a force of Golden Soul and the other four Grand Supreme Immortals, as well as a few hundred Grand Unity Immortals. He opened the world and arrived at a certain location in the chaos.
The chaos turbulence in the surroundings had already been emptied, replaced by a few majestic and imposing war machines. There were four forces.
Another team gathered inside a large array. The array was extremely agile and had formed a chaos giant.
The third rode on a chaos fierce beast named Mie Qi. Its body was like a giant island with four legs, the head of a dragon, the tail of a phoenix, and eight muscular arms protruding from its back.
The last force was similar to Fang Yuan's. They were not controlling any war machines in the chaos, but had great numbers, feeling somewhat like a ragtag army.
”Of the four forces, only two have a Grand Primordium Immortal. Are the remaining two itinerant cultivators like me?”
While Fang Yuan was thinking, he sensed Patriarch Lei Jin calling him and immediately went forward.
Above the five forces, a few Grand Primordium emerged. Each of them had a boundless, dignified aura, containing mysticalness that was hard to describe.
”Lei Jin, Tong Ming, Tian Hai, Xuan Qing…”
The aura of four Dao Fruits seeped out with their respective information, and Fang Yuan immediately understood everything.
At the same time, the misty Dream Dao Fruit also emerged from his body, letting the four Grand Primordium Immortals also know him. ”Dream Dao Fruit, Grand Primordium Immortal Fang Yuan, welcome!” Grand Primordium Immortal Xuan Qing was the first to speak.
He looked no different from an ordinary person. He wore a robe, looked thin and scholarly, and had three green scales that looked like petals on his forehead. Fang Yuan did not know what his race was.
Tian Hai was a monster composed of countless bones, and gold flames burned in his hollow pupils.
Tong Ming was a phantom. His body was hidden in a black mist and had the atmosphere of an unparalleled fierce beast. Even Fang Yuan could only vaguely see a pair of huge eyes full of ferocity.
Comparatively, Patriarch Lei Jin, whom he had communicated with, was relatively normal.
Those who had their own forces were naturally Patriarchs Lei Jin and Xuan Qing. As for the force that controlled the fierce beast 'Mie Qi', it was a very united group of great world forces. Although they were not a match for Dao Fruit, they could do as they pleased among Grand Supreme Immortals.
”All right, everyone has gathered. Is anyone sure of the location of the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend?”
Although he had the Pantheon Summoning Technique in his hands and could directly locate it, Fang Yuan was not planning to tell them.
”It's in the depths of chaos! Tong Ming has already determined its location!” Grand Primordium Immortal Xuan Qing said calmly. ”Although most of the Chaos Godfiends have left, some still remain. The Grand Supreme and Grand Unity Immortals below might be able to clear a path! I happen to have an array here that they can operate!”
The other Grand Primordium Patriarchs had no objections, and even Fang Yuan did not care much about the lives and deaths of a bunch of subordinates.
In fact, if any one of the Grand Primordium Immortals were to do it, it would not even expend much of their Qi to clear the path.
However, the lofty Grand Primordium Immortals had to be stingy about the tiniest bit of Qi. After all, they were going to face the most terrifying Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend afterward, and they could not allow their strength to weaken even slightly.
From the looks of it, Patriarch Lei Jin and Patriarch Xuan Qing are the ones who don't want the universe to be destroyed? While Tong Ming and Tian Hai want to kill the Primordial Chaos Holy Fiend and reap the rewards…
Although he did not know how to further his progress at the Dao Fruit realm, Fang Yuan had some general speculations.
At the very least, it would not be wrong to increase the power of his Dao Fruit.
