Chapter 956: Chapter 823: Battle of the Dream Beast (Part 1)
“`
This is a Great Demon Spirit Island, whose abundant Demon Spirit Aura was enough to allow Ye to step from the Low-grade Emperor rank into the Intermediate Emperor rank!
Ye paid no attention to the Commander Level Patrol Demon Spirits on the outer periphery and directly headed deeper into their territory.
Those Demon Spirits of different races did not dare to block the way, instead emitting strange howls, obviously calling for comrades of higher ranks.
Soon, as Ye walked through the jungle, the entire jungle seemed to be moving. A large group of Commander and Monarch Demonic Spirits gathered around it.
With the aura of an Emperor rank, these native Demon Spirits could naturally feel it. Commanders and Monarchs had no qualification to initiate a battle, and they were all waiting for a stronger leader to emerge.
“Goo, goo, goo!!!!!!”
Suddenly, a bizarre howl came from ahead of Ye.
At the sound of the noise, the Commander and Monarch Demon Spirits that were clamoring but not daring to attack all fell silent, fear evident in their eyes as they began to slowly make way…
Ye also halted, its deep black eyes watching the Demon Spirit that approached slowly.
Judging from the aura, a Quasi-Emperor was about to appear. Stepping into the middle of the island, a Quasi-Emperor had already emerged, indicating that obtaining the island’s Demon Spirit Aura would be challenging.
Fortunately, during Ye’s wanderings, the only thing that could alleviate its loneliness and sadness was battle on the various Great Demon Spirit Islands. The stronger the Demonic Island, the more valuable the tempering and the faster it could improve its strength.
Ye’s black pupils flickered with a calm light; standing there as an outsider, it was polite to wait for the other party to attack first.
However, from its poised stance, like a cocked crossbow, it was clear that the instant the Quasi-Emperor Demon Spirit launched an attack, Ye would unleash an even more fierce offensive!
…
The battle between the Quasi-Emperor and the Low-grade Emperor wasn’t suspenseful. Ye didn’t even use its full strength to defeat this opponent.
When the Quasi-Emperor fell, the large group of surrounding Commander and Monarch Demon Spirits emitted strange cries, for they had not expected the outsider’s strength to be formidable enough to defeat their leader in such a short time.
In the world of Demon Spirits, the strong are revered. After displaying its strength, the surrounding Demon Spirits no longer dared to be as threatening, and their gazes gradually changed. Even a few Monarch Level Dream Beasts stepped forward, cautiously trying to communicate with Ye.
From the communication with these fellow species, Ye learned that the ruler of this Demon Spirit Island was much stronger than this leader and that defeating it was almost impossible.
However, to stay on their island and obtain the Demon Spirit Aura, one only needed to defeat the Demon Spirit Emperors below a few rulers on the Inner Island.
…
The defeated Quasi-Emperor Demon Spirit became Ye’s guide, and there was no need for such a powerful outsider to fight all the way through.
After navigating through the dense and lush jungle for about one day, they finally arrived at the island’s interior.
The interior of the island was an ancient green Jungle with each tree towering a hundred meters tall, majestic and lush.
Between the trees, diverse vines grew, connecting the high trees that were spaced apart with their tendrils, weaving into walkways that allowed travel among the treetops!
The world of Demon Spirits is always full of plants and Plant World Soul Pets.
As Ye passed through these tall trees, it would often notice that the trunks of some plants would occasionally twist, or in certain spots, a pair of eyes would appear, gazing down from above with mild curiosity. Then, after Ye passed by, these eyes would close, and everything would be as indistinguishable from the other tall trees as before.
“Hui~~~~~~~~~”
The Dream Beast beside Ye let out a call, informing Ye that they had now entered the Inner Island area.
At this point, the Commander and Monarch Demon Spirits that had been following Ye with a mix of escort and surveillance intent no longer accompanied it.
The division of powers within the tribe was stark; those Commanders assigned to patrol the Outer Island had no right to enter into the territory belonging to the rulers, unless they had received some recognition of strength.
Ye continued on, and soon, several Dream Beasts of the same kind appeared in front of Ye.
These Dream Beasts were different from the earlier ones they had communicated with; their aura was much stronger, and among them, one posed a great threat to Ye.
“Hui~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Three Dream Beasts simultaneously issued a call, their insightful eyes looking at Ye with a touch of interrogation.
These were three Dream Beast Emperors!
Moreover, all of them had reached the Low-grade Emperor Level, ranking on the same level of strength as Ye. The leader that the previous same-kind had indicated to Ye to defeat was probably these three Dream Beast Emperors of equivalent strength.
“`
All three Dream Beast Emperors must be defeated, and Ye’s opponents now are these three Dream Beast Emperors.
This kind of battle is not fair, but these are the rules that outsiders must abide by.
Without exceptional strength, how would they share these precious resources with other Demon Spirits?
Ye’s gaze became focused. It possessed a Dark sub-attribute, making its strength a grade higher than that of a typical low-grade Emperor.
Among these three Dream Beasts, two were ordinary low-grade Emperors, while the other one that appeared threatening to Ye likely possessed the Wind Attribute, its fur being green in color.
The Purple Robe Dream Beast owned the Thunder sub-attribute, hence its body was purple.
Ye possessed the Dark sub-attribute and its body was black. However, the Thunder as a secondary attribute was almost useless now.
The Dream Beasts themselves were brown, which meant those two brown Dream Beasts didn’t have sub-attributes. Their aura showed they were ordinary low-grade Emperors. The green Dream Beast’s sub-attribute was Wind, and in terms of fundamental strength, it should be on par with Ye. At this moment, it came down to who would display greater combat ability between Ye and this Wind Dream Beast!
However, since Ye had to face these three Dream Beasts simultaneously, victory would be extremely difficult.
“Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Wind Dream Beast let out a howl, ordering the two brown Dream Beasts to test Ye’s strength first.
The movements of the two brown Dream Beasts were exceptionally agile. They darted past the dense trees from Ye’s left and right, appearing on either side of Ye. Ripples of mental energy spread between their Dream Horns as they launched a Dreamland Skill at Ye.
Ye stood quietly, vines began to appear around it, entangling its body, starting from its limbs and eventually covering even its skull without leaving any gaps.
But throughout this entire process, Ye did not move an inch.
As a fellow master of dream crafting, how could Ye not distinguish that all of this was merely an illusion of the Dreamland!
When Ye had previously traveled through the jungle, it had already seen countless writhing vines. The two brown Dream Beasts used the memory of Ye’s previous encounter combined with the complex surrounding trees to create this illusion as if it were real.
People beguiled by the Dreamland, if they believe in the illusion of the dream, will find that these false things become very real, and the more attention and fear they generate, the worse these things will become. This is the second method that Dream Beasts often employ in the Dreamland—mental amplification.
It involves magnifying a certain idea continuously, causing an extremely negative effect that impacts battle.
During travels with Chu Mu, Ye encountered countless Demon Spirits. Chu Mu would always describe in detail what abilities the enemy possessed, how they would attack, dodge, defend, and their weaknesses. Plus, the past year of battles against various races of Demon Spirits had allowed Ye to accumulate even more experience in battling Demon Spirits.
As for battling Dream Beasts, Ye was a Dream Beast itself and knew everything about Dream Beasts like the back of its hand!
The combat experience of the two brown Dream Beasts was clearly lacking. No matter how impressively they executed their Dreamland Skills, they couldn’t shake Ye’s emotions. Ye simply watched with its indifferent eyes as the two brown Dream Beasts put on their tedious Dreamland performance, displaying an exceptionally firm mental fortitude!
At that time, the Wind Dream Beast had no choice but to put a stop to the two brown Dream Beasts making a fool of themselves. It let out a long howl, signaling the formal start of the fight!
“Huuuuhuuuuhuuuuhuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The Wind Dream Beast burst forth. Between its Dream Horns, a vortex of air lifted into the air, and as it approached Ye, the vortex suddenly expanded, turning into hundreds of mini-vortices that eerily surrounded Ye!
Ye stepped forward, weaving through the forest, but for some reason, no matter how fast it dodged, those vortices would appear!
“Huuuuhuuuuhuuuuhuuuu!!!!!!”
Suddenly, a vortex appeared where Ye was about to move; unable to dodge, Ye was caught by the vortex and lost balance in mid-air!
At the same time, the two brown Dream Beasts also caught up. They glided effortlessly through tree trunks, their brown pupils emitted the light of Demon Spirits, piercing through the ancient skies and flying towards Ye, who had lost its balance.
Ye’s hind legs tapped on the shadows of the tree crowns, and it forcibly leaped out of the vortex, narrowly avoiding the Demon Spirit light from the two brown Dream Beasts.
Still, the wind vortexes kept appearing around Ye.
Ye knew very well that the power of Wind as a sub-attribute alone could never truly harm it. The Wind Dream Beast must have used a combination of Wind Element and Demon Spirit type skills, triggering a True Dreamland!
The so-called True Dreamland is about replicating a false form of some power, combining the real and the false forces to create an effect that seems double the actual power.
Therefore, among the hundreds of vortices, more than half were illusions.
The Wind Dream Beast’s dream crafting was far superior to the brown Dream Beasts. Amidst the half-truth and half-illusion, it was difficult for Ye to make very accurate judgments, and it didn’t have time to, as the two brown Dream Beasts kept relentlessly pursuing.
However, without finding the cracks in the Dreamland, the Wind Dream Beast’s skills would pose a significant threat to Ye. Even if it were to face the Wind Dream Beast alone, Ye might still be defeated.
