This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder - Chapter 471

“Before that, I wonder which senior is watching?”

Tianyi blinked in surprise upon hearing those words. He didn’t think the newly ascended immortal, Dreamwalker, was just testing because he was staring directly at where Tianyi stood. With a chuckle, Tianyi walked out of the void. “Oh, you can actually detect me?”

Tianyi stood a level higher than the true immortals and the non responsive fiend monarch. Since he no longer decided to hide himself, he released a hint of his aura. It wouldn’t cause much pressure, but it would still cause those who felt it to understand the difference between them.

Because of his aura, Fiend Monarch Voidheart gasped and broke out of the illusion. He glared at Dreamwalker, but he also sensed Tianyi’s aura at the same time. When he looked up, he released a horrified shout. “Nine Heavens Emperor!”

Without waiting for a response, Fiend Monarch turned tail and fled. He couldn’t help inwardly curse. As a devilish cultivator, he had always been cautious to avoid those who could kill him. He especially avoided those from the Immortal Court. Even if he could kill a true immortal from the Immortal Court, he wouldn’t dare to do so because all those who committed such an act died. Not a single one succeeded in escaping.

He wanted to use the phenomenon of a new immortal ascending to get a few immortal hearts to increase his cultivation, but he never expected what happened next. He knew that ascending immortals usually had more strength than newly ascended native true immortals, but how could a mere true immortal put him under an illusion?

The fiend monarch had wanted nothing more to break out and kill that unruly true immortal, but when he did, his heart fell to his stomach. If a true immortal that could put him under an illusion could threaten him, then meeting a member of the Immortal Court was a death sentence, especially the Nine Heavens Emperor. “Dammit, why did he appear? Although forces would compete for a newly ascended immortal, it shouldn’t attract the Immortal Court’s attention, right? Especially him.”Findd new stories at .com

Tianyi didn’t immediately take action. He stared at the devilish cultivator’s fleeing back for a moment, then he curled the corner of his lips upward. His eyes revealed a black light that pierced toward the fiend monarch. He didn’t even have time to dodge before the light struck him.

However, when the light dissipated, there was no sign of injury on the body. Not even a mark on his armor. Just as the true immortals present wondered if the legendary Nine Heavens Emperor made a mistake, the fiend monarch’s angle shifted down. It didn’t take long for the fiend monarch to crash into the ground.

One true immortal, who was nearby, gulped and landed next to the fiend monarch. Aside from the dirt on his body, the fiend monarch didn’t have any hint of injury. His body still exuded a large amount of vitality. “His soul is gone!”

Upon hearing the words of the true immortal who checked the body, all the other immortals turned toward Tianyi in awe and horror.

Tianyi’s lips curled up even more. While he wasn’t proficient in soul attacks—Daoyi had him beat in the department by a large margin—he still ranked highly at the forefront of soul attacks thanks to his immensely powerful soul. It was akin to an elephant using all four legs to stamp an ant to death. Sure, it was crude and unrefined, but no one would doubt the soul’s imminent death.

He turned toward the newly ascended immortal, expecting to see shock at his powerful soul attack, but all he saw was Dreamwalker’s calm gaze. ‘Eh, why are you so calm?’

Through his powerful immortal sense, Tianyi could tell that Dreamwalker wasn’t forcing himself to appear calm. Was his willpower so powerful that he didn’t even feel any fluctuation upon meeting someone far stronger than himself? Or did he have some powerful trump card? Did he even know the extent of an immortal emperor’s power?

“Thank you, Nine Heavens Emperor, for your saving grace,” Fairy Moonwisp said, bowing with cupped hands. Her shoulder trembled with excitement. She was rather young for an immortal. Her strength was average at best, but her short time as an immortal meant she was one of the few able to witness Tianyi’s rise, even if it was by hearsay.

Tianyi waved his hand. “I only added flowers to gold. Even without me, this little friend would have been able to help you all escape. I’m curious.”

His gaze focused on Dreamwalker, yet just like before, he was able to remain calm without a hint of fear. Seeing no signs, Tianyi continued. “How were you able to sense me? I’m confident that even emperors aren’t able to detect my presence.”

Actually, Tianyi was confident that immortal sovereigns could not detect his presence, but he didn’t want to seem too arrogant.

“I was able to sense your thought fluctuations. No matter what, all life will have consciousness and must think. So, my technique is almost impossible to fail,” Immortal Dreamwalker said.

Tianyi held his chin. “Really? What an interesting technique. I never even heard of such a technique. Are you interested in joining the Immortal Court?”

Boom!

The Xiyi Talisman exploded in Dreamwalker’s hand, leaving behind only fragments. He took in a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Dreamwalker closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, his entire aura changed. Even if Fairy Moonwisp saw him again, she wouldn’t even recognize him. Although the appearance remained the same, his entire aura changed. Even a soul cultivator would not have the ability to see through his aura camouflage ability.

Once again, Dreamwalker visited the Xiyi Talisman Center and purchased another one. This time, he successfully registered. To be on the safe side, he just went with a randomly assigned username by the Xiyinet. With access to the greatest information network in the realm, Dreamwalker’s understanding of the Primordial Realm grew by leaps and bounds.

While surfing the Xiyinet, Dreamwalker came upon the information regarding Cultivation Online. According to the rumors, it was an illusionary world that allowed those who entered to experience another life. More importantly, it aided in comprehending the worldly laws. Any who heard about it yearned to experience it for themselves. Unfortunately, only those in the Immortal Court were allowed permission to enter.

Dreamwalker’s eyes lit up with interest. ‘Interesting. Let me see if it is really as extraordinary as the rumors say.’

He split off a portion of his soul and probed the Xiyinet. Although he couldn’t get entrance the legitimate way, his methods far exceeded the firewalls of the Xiyinet. It didn’t take him long to find the entrance to Cultivation Online. Dreamwalker didn’t immediately enter. After all, he had no identity to use, so he waited.

When Dreamwalker sensed someone logging in, he latched onto that person and hid in his aura. ‘Now, let’s see if this illusion is as wonderful as you say.’

‘No, something’s wrong.’ Contrary to Dreamwalker’s expectations, an illusion didn’t befall them. Instead, he felt the soul of the person leave and teleport to a different place. He didn’t dare to probe too much, lest he attract unwanted attention, but he could still tell the air had changed. The worldly laws became more crude and imperfect, but because of that imperfection, it became easier to sense everything.

Dreamwalker wanted to explore more, but before he could, he felt his soul fragment detach from the soul he latched onto and fly into the air. When he looked up, he saw the sun and moon forming a person’s eyes, the night sky transformed into his robes, and the stars were his hair.

“Destruction!”

The cosmic entity only said one word, but it instantly destroyed Dreamwalker’s soul fragment.

In the Trinity Continent, Dreamwalker’s face paled. ‘That’s no illusion. The only method someone could have sensed me was if it was a realmlord. Only a realmlord that could sense all things within their domain could have detected me. The Immortal Court must have discovered a special realm that made the worldly laws easier to sense!’

Dreamwalker didn’t stay for long. He was unsure if the Immortal Court had a method to detect his location, so he abandoned his Xiyi Talisman and fled. Only after moving to a safe distance would he settle down and heal his soul.

A ripple appeared above an ordinary town. The town was located in an unnamed and unranked realm. All of the denizens were mortal creatures, and immortals and gods have become the stuff of legends. The spiritual qi was too thin and waning, so no one could cultivate.

The ripple expanded and out walked a man in violet. “Godammit it. It took so much effort to find Dreamwalker’s original realm.”
