Chapter 768: Myriad Thunder

“Lord Mountain River... M-my fate is so miserable...”

The Heaven Palace was heavily damaged on the outside and had lost many defensive restrictions. Lord Cold Mountain, Hai Fu, pitifully complained to Fang Yuan, “I offended the Emperor, got banished to this kind of place, and encountered a siege from Demon Masters just after I arrived... You didn’t witness that scene. Nine Demon Masters besieged the Ancient Gods on our side, and even Ancient God Black Dragon died in the battle...”

“Nine?!” Fang Yuan’s expression looked strange. He knocked his own head and appeared doubtful. “How come I heard that there were only four Demon Masters, and that all the Marquises were attacked first, most losing consciousness immediately?”

“Ah... Hehe... The weather sure is nice today!” Lord Cold Mountain touched his head in embarrassment, finally forcing out a laugh and confessing, “Alright... I was scared at the sight of the demons and immediately retreated to my palace. I was then attacked and became unconscious. The battle was over by the time I woke up.”

“...” Fang Yuan was speechless.

A Marquis was only a slightly bigger ant to Ancient Gods and Demon Masters. A battle such as the previous one could easily kill many purely by accident.

Those who had managed to survive either had hidden moves or were born with good luck!

Could this guy be the one chosen as the Spiritual Realm’s Son of Destiny?

Looking at the heap of flesh before him, Fang Yuan had nothing to say.

“Oh right, you were abducted by the demon bats last time. What happened after that?” Lord Cold Mountain promptly asked.

“I was in an extremely perilous situation. Those demons wanted to drag me back to their cave, but fortunately, we encountered a crowd of three-legged White Bone Birds, and I managed to escape in the conflict between the two Demon Spirit groups. By supporting myself with my pills, I finally fought my way back here...” Fang Yuan sighed with feigned resignation, taking out a handful of white teeth, red eyeballs, and so on. “But I had a good harvest on my way back... How many achievements can I exchange these for?”

“Th-These are...” Hai Fu’s eyes widened as he stared at Fang Yuan. “You gathered so many Heaven Immortal level cores? These are the teeth of Blue Voice Bats, and these are the eyeballs of Water Demons... Did you annihilate a demon species? That isn’t right... How can the sources be so complex? They obviously come from different species.”

“Oh my... You just need a bit more to reach the achievements required, and then you can return directly!”

Lord Cold Mountain was about to salivate, as if he was going to beg Fang Yuan to let him join at any time. “Fellow Daoist, please don’t forget me when you go hunting next time!”

“How could I have the ability to kill so many existences equal to my level?” Fang Yuan shrugged, his expression turning solemn. “I only picked these up by luck!”

“What... Are you saying that... they were picked up?” Hai Fu was speechless, most likely roaring in his mind, Why wasn’t I so lucky?

“That’s right!” Fang Yuan nodded. “We’re now facing a very problematic situation... Those Demon Masters seemed to be harvesting low-level Demon Spirits to stock up flesh and blood. Has something like this ever happened on the Heaven Palace’s front lines before?”

“When the demons reach the Demon Master realm, they seldom wander around and don’t slaughter Demon Spirits for the same reason why we don’t chase after ants and kill them when we walk on a road...” Lord Cold Mountain shook his head instinctively.

“Therefore, in the light of the recent assault as well, I suspect that an enormous change is about to take place!” Fang Yuan said with a solemn expression.

Of course, he knew the Demon Masters’ plan, but as Lord Mountain River, what he had revealed would already attract a lot of attention.

If he directly disclosed the entire plan, regardless of whether others believed it, he would immediately have to undergo the strictest investigation.

Thus, he could not give any more intelligence.

“Demon Masters are gathering flesh and blood, the Heaven Palace was under attack, and an Ancient God died in battle... Sigh . These are indeed ominous signs!” Lord Cold Mountain, Hai Fu, let out a sigh.

Fang Yuan also wanted to probe him with this information.

Even though the Demon Masters were excellent at hiding themselves, they would still leave behind a lot of clues.

This plump guy seemed to have some backers. If he could draw the attention of the Heavenly Court through his backers, they might be able to spoil the Demon Masters’ plan.

” Phew ... This is a serious issue, but the superiors are having a meeting right now. I’ll accompany you inside to register your achievements after Duke Merit comes out, and then you can directly report to them!”

Hai Fu’s expression turned serious. “What are your plans after this?”

“Plans? Without God Black Dragon, the Vast Heaven Division doesn’t have a leader right now. I’ll certainly apply for individual tasks and kill as many Demon Spirits as possible!” Fang Yuan said without hesitation. “Taking all these achievements into account, I just need a bit more and I’ll be permitted to return to the Heavenly Court. I won’t stay any longer than I’m required to at such a dangerous place.”

Almost all Gods would make the same choice as Fang Yuan.

This was analogous to someone about to clear their debt. The desire to completely remove the stress would become astonishing motivation, driving them to work even harder.

“Especially since... I have an ominous feeling that something bad is going to happen!” Fang Yuan looked at Lord Cold Mountain sincerely. “Do take care!”

“Take care!” Hai Fu cupped his hands, feeling somewhat surprised. “This God has an ancient demeanor. Although we only met each other some time ago, it feels like he’s an old acquaintance...”

What he did not know was that Fang Yuan returned just to give him a gentle reminder.

The news soon reached the War King. “Why are the Demon Masters gathering flesh and blood? Are they conspiring with one another?”

He shut his eyes, and then suddenly opened them, a purple dragon flashing in his pupils. “This sort of abnormal behavior has occurred a few times in the past... Every time, it followed a battle against Demon Masters and the death of an Ancient God... Seems the intelligence is valid. Where’s the God who brought it?”

“This God has the title of Mountain River, and I heard he’s an unruly person. He took a mission and left for the battlefield after reporting... Given his current achievements, he’ll soon fulfill the requirement to leave the battlefield!” said a Marquis at the side enviously.

“Didn’t he know that if he had stayed here, I would have rewarded him after the intelligence was confirmed?” The War King rolled his eyes. “This lad is expecting an imminent war. He’s fighting so hard for nothing other than to evade the vortex and protect himself. Hehe... He’s smart, but not reliable!”

“You’re right, King!” The Marquis servant let out a long breath, an inexplicable feeling in his mind.

“Moreover, that Marquis took a mission and went hunting without an order? He’s too bold. Who’s his superior? I need to teach him a lesson. Also, let that God come to meet me after he returns!” The War King sneered, but was then taken aback. “Wait a moment. His superior...”

“That’s right. The superior of this Lord Mountain River is exactly that God Black Dragon. He’s lax about his behavior now that there are no restrictions...” the Marquis at the side added, a chilling glow flashing in his eyes.

...

Rumble!

Dark clouds covered the sky, and purple lightning struck deep into the ground at times.

This was one of the three perilous lands on the Mental Demon Battlefield, the Myriad Thunder Plain.

Fang Yuan took the form of a giant, walking casually on the level ground.

Occasionally, lightning struck his body, but only left behind a white mark on his black armor, and that mark would soon disappear.

After gathering the intelligence and giving a warning in the Heaven Palace, he left on his own and recovered his Demon Master identity. He then received a message from Erag and the others, which led him to this place.

“The lightning here is already on a par with the Heavenly Tribulations in the lower realms...”

Lightning danced wildly all over the sky. Fang Yuan became emotional as he gazed at the scene.

As far as he knew, there were three perilous lands on the Mental Demon Battlefield. Two Demon Gods were sealed in the Bottomless Bloody Abyss and the Myriad Thunder Plain respectively, while the Extreme East Dark Mystic Ocean had been a giant battlefield. A few Demon Gods had even died there. The accumulated remains and grievances could revive them at any time, only for them to be sealed up by almighty beings once again.

“Of course, the Demon God sealed in the Myriad Thunder Plain seems more powerful than Ancient Netherworld. It’s incredible that he could convey his message to Demon Masters through Dao Marks... even once!”

Fang Yuan did not manage to detect any sign of the seal here.

Apparently, the Demon God here, just like Ancient Netherworld, had been sealed in a mystic region of space that Demon Masters could not find.

And yet this unknown being could still convey information about the sacrifice ceremony for communication with the Mental Demon Realm. It was really quite impressive.

“It might be due to good luck as well, but... I must remain cautious!”

Fang Yuan picked up his pace and quickly reached the center of the Myriad Thunder Plain.

Like dragons and snakes, countless lightning surrounded this place and illuminated everything.

Common Heaven Immortals and Marquises would not even have the qualification to arrive here.

“Another group of Demon Masters occupies this plain, and their leader should be Kun Ang! It’s a giant black toad that enjoys swallowing things...”

There was a Demon God called the Infinite Devourer as well! While Kun Ang was no match for this Demon God, his devouring power was still horrible, able to swallow almost anything.

“Hmm?” At this moment, he frowned and looked around.

Splash!

The sky suddenly darkened, and a giant mouth plunged down.

Thump!

Fang Yuan was expressionless as he punched.

The deafening sound made it seem as if his fist was invincible in the entire world.

A black silhouette the size of a hill was punched ruthlessly into the sky and crashed onto the ground.

“I don’t like your way of greeting... Kun Ang!” Fang Yuan said in a cold voice, gazing at the Demon Master that had suddenly appeared.

It was a giant black toad, but on its back, there were mouths comprised of numerous disgusting protrusions.

Upon seeing this appearance, Fang Yuan was shocked by the other’s appetite.
