Chapter 744 – Dream Demon

Along the way, Long Chen also witnessed a lot of killing. More specifically, evidence left behind after the killing. The humans had died one or two months ago, and their bodies had been carried off by demonic beasts. Only huge messes remained.

This showed how violent the killing was in the Ancient Graveyard.

It was no wonder only hundreds emerged despite ten thousand people entering every time.

Long Chen saw many spiritual herbs during this time too. However, only one of them had soul-nourishing properties. It was too bad that it was only an elementary King-tier herb, so it was not enough for his Martial Soul to recover. Having no other choice, Long Chen continued to advance forward. He estimated that only an intermediate King-tier spiritual herb could help him recover.

As he trekked ahead, he finally saw a city with people in it. An extremely tall tree appeared in front of him, and the width of its trunk far surpassed Long Chen’s imagination. The part of the trunk in front of him was like an endless wall!

Are cities in the Wood District built on gigantic trees like that? Long Chen looked up in astonishment. The crown of the tree covered the whole sky above him. This was his first time seeing a tree like this!

He faintly saw the shadow of a city on the gigantic tree.

In the Metal District, cities were built in the form of Iron Cities, so even the insides of the cities were made of iron. The cities of the Wood District were even more bizarre, being built on giant trees.

I wonder who used to live in the Ancient Graveyard. Both the Iron City and this city on the gigantic tree are fascinating.

Long Chen mulled over this while heading towards the city above his head. If there was a city, there were sure to be people inside. Then his chances of finding the spiritual herbs he needed would be higher.

Furthermore, he did not know the general situation of the Wood District. Which of the Nine Great Clans had control over the Wood District? This was crucial information for him. After he recovered his Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivation level, he would immediately search for a hiding place to start studying the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance.

Long Chen moved very quickly. It only took a few breaths’ time to rush up to the city on the tree. After he leaped over the city walls, he entered and looked across the whole city. He saw crisscrossing branches everywhere, and this city seemed very quiet. There were some houses built from boulders, though most were wooden houses. Based on its silhouette, this city must have been beautiful many years ago. Right now, it was dilapidated and had turned into a pile of ruins.

He used the Soul Swallowing Gaze to search for any signs of humans in the city. By the looks of it, this city had not been taken over by any of the Nine Great Clans yet. As a result, few regular cultivators would come to this city in search of protection. However, Long Chen guessed that there would still be people here.

He walked through the city while using the Soul Swallowing Gaze. Very soon, he found one person, but to his surprise, this person’s breath was extremely weak. He was on the brink of death. He had also met a dying man when he had just arrived at the Seven Star Lord’s planet. He had not expected to meet another one here.

Is he dying because of a fight? Long Chen was speechless. Frankly, the Ancient Graveyard was like a meat grinder. Ten thousand people entered, but only hundreds exited. Most people would die due to attacks from demonic beasts or fighting over treasures. Some people would even die because they could not turn their Ancient Tokens golden.

Long Chen immediately went towards the person. Soon, he saw him through his Soul Swallowing Gaze, but he came across many corpses on the ground before that. These people must have killed each other. Many bodies had fatal wounds.

It seemed like a violent massacre had taken place before he arrived.

What puzzled Long Chen was the strange expression on each body, which looked like they had experienced something extremely terrifying before they died. Everyone had an expression of terror.

They died in a state of terror. Did they encounter something?

Long Chen checked carefully and realized that they had died very recently. He went over to the only person who was still alive, who was located inside a wooden house that looked like it was about to collapse. It was a frail middle-aged man covered in gashes and barely breathing. His eyes were not even open, and he was waiting for death. When he heard Long Chen’s footsteps, he started, then he saw the teenage stranger.

Long Chen was curious about what had happened here. When he saw that the man was still barely alive, he stood next to him and asked, “What happened here?”

The middle-aged man struggled to look at Long Chen for a long while, then he opened his mouth and said with great difficulty, “There’s a cat ... It’s terrifying ... It makes people hallucinate ... Then they kill each other ...”

“A cat?” Long Chen was stunned.

In the Primordial Realm, Little Cat chuckled when he heard the man. “A cat who knows hallucinatory magic? It must be the little demonic beast called the Dream Demon. I did not expect the Ancient Graveyard to have an interesting demonic beast like that. I can use it as my body for a while. Hey, kid, go catch the Dream Demon for me!”

Based on what Little Cat had said, it seemed like the cause of this tragic situation was a cat who knew magic?

“Hey ... kid. You should go. If you get caught in its ... spell, you will see ... terrifying things. It will drive you mad ...” warned the middle-aged man out of kindness.

He was severely injured, so much so that even Long Chen would not be able to save him. After speaking, the man stopped breathing.

Long Chen exited the wooden house without saying another word. Using his Soul Swallowing Gaze, he started to search for the beast in the city on the gigantic tree.

Fat Cat seemed to imply that he could possess the Dream Demon’s body. Since Fat Cat has helped me a lot so far, I might as well help him now.

Long Chen also knew that if Fat Cat could have the Dream Demon’s body, he would also be able to help Long Chen. Based on the catastrophic mess, that was no simple beast.

“Fat Cat, what kind of beast is the Dream Demon?” asked Long Chen as he hurried along.

Little Cat grinned and said, “Its tier isn’t that high at all, but it has a fascinating ability to use hallucinatory magic on people. The Dream Demon is only at Category Nine Heaven tier. It is not a King-tier beast. If a strong cultivator gets close to it, just a gentle strike can kill it. However, I must admit that its magic is very impressive. Just take a look around and you’ll understand. Many Fourth and Fifth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators have been killed by it.”

Little Cat was usually a haughty fellow, yet he was praising a Category Nine Heaven-tier beast. This meant it was sure to be extraordinary. Although it was not as talented as the Sun Devouring Wolf, it had its strengths. Little Cat also seemed to be very excited, which was rare as he had always been mysterious. Long Chen wanted to try his best to search for the Dream Demon, so he was going to check whether it was still in the city.

Since they were on a gigantic tree, it had a limited range. If the Dream Demon did not move too quickly, Long Chen would be able to find it.

“Little Cat, are you saying that you can enter the Dream Demon’s body and use its abilities?” asked Long Chen while searching.

“Naturally. I am a powerful god. Why wouldn’t I be able to do something so simple? Not only will I take over its body, I can also magnify its abilities! The next time you fight someone, I can secretly use my magic on the guy. I’m going to be so much more useful than that little black dog!” said Fat Cat smugly while holding his big belly.

“Do you have any limitations? For example, if someone kills the Dream Demon, will you die too?” probed Long Chen.

“Do you think I’m cabbage?[1] How could I die so easily? If that body is killed, I can return to the Primordial Realm unscathed. To be honest, my soul is sealed in the Primordial Realm. That is why even if I take over its body, I won’t be able to roam more than a hundred meters away from you.”

Long Chen was fascinated. It was no wonder why Little Cat usually talked so much smack but still stayed in the Primordial Realm.

“I’m only taking over the Dream Demon’s body for fun. When I get tired of it, I can toss it away. When the mood strikes me again, I’ll just take over another body!” said Fat Cat haughtily.

1. Cabbage = Chinese slang referring to a beginner ☜
