Chapter 384 - 338: Source of the Dream Eye, The Final Land (Part 1)
He finally let out a sigh of relief, the tension in his nerves easing slightly.
’The Saint Son of the Sun God Sect... To think such a terrifying figure exists. Why was there no information about him in my previous life?’
’And I’d only ever heard that the Sun God Sect had a Saintess. Where did this so-called Saint Son pop out from?’
Wei Fan took a deep breath.
His expression was grim.
The Sword Holder was finished.
No, it wasn’t just the Sword Holder.
All Dream Masters were likely facing annihilation.
Because the Sun God Sect was utterly disgusted by all Dream Eyes and Dream Masters.
To purge all Dream Eyes and Dream Masters—for any person or organization, this was undoubtedly an impossible fantasy.
But with that man’s power, perhaps he really could do it.
And he was clearly within the scope of this purge.
With his current strength, he stood no chance against that man.
Unless he obediently went into hiding.
But that was obviously not what he wanted.
He preferred to hold his destiny in his own hands.
At this thought, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
’It seems my only choice is to enter that place ahead of schedule!’
...
「A few days later.」
Night had fallen, and all was still.
Beneath a deep, secluded lake, the water was hundreds of meters deep, as profound as ink.
Suddenly, a dazzling ray of red light, sharp as a sword, broke through the confines of the lake and shot toward the night sky.
It then landed near the shore, the light retracting to reveal the form of a young man.
This person was none other than Wei Fan.
Surprisingly, despite emerging from the lake, his clothes were not very wet.
At this moment, Wei Fan’s gaze was fixed on a palm-sized, handkerchief-like piece of cloth clutched in his hand.
’I’ve finally gathered them all. Unfortunately, this is much earlier than I expected. There are still some opportunities I haven’t seized yet. If it weren’t for that damned Sun God Sect, I wouldn’t be in this situation...’
His expression flickered, showing a trace of indignation and frustration.
Recalling the events of a few days ago, he still felt a sense of dread.
Over the past few years, he had changed and improved a great deal.
The number of Dream Eyes he controlled had reached ten, and he had even obtained a few of the original Dream Eyes.
In terms of strength, an ordinary Controller was no match for him.
Over the years, although he often heard of the Sun God Sect’s existence and had even clashed with them before, their Divine Techniques were strange, but they were nothing to him.
Even one of their Holy Radiance Bishops would not be his opponent.
However, what he hadn’t expected was that the Sun God Sect would dare to make a move directly against the Sword Holder.
The Cardinals alone were nothing to him.
The terrifying one was that man.
That devastating, terrifying power.
He could pierce the defenses of the Yin Yellow Bell in a single strike.
If not for his own Clock Dream Eye, he would probably be dead already.
Every time he recalled Hu Qi’s terrifying strength over the past few days, it was like having a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He knew full well that with his current strength, facing his opponent was like an ant trying to shake a tree—he had no chance of winning.
According to the rumors from his past life and the answer given by the Bone Luo Token, the only way now was to assemble the complete Deceitful Painting.
He had to step into that place and find the source of the Dream Eyes within it.
Only then could he complete the plan in his mind and allow his strength to undergo another transformation.
At this thought, Wei Fan reached into his Dream Realm and took out the seven Deceitful Painting Fragments one by one.
These Deceitful Painting Fragments looked no different from ordinary pieces of cloth.
However, the moment Wei Fan placed these Deceitful Painting Fragments together, they flew into the air and began to piece themselves together with precision.
At the seams, blood-red threads like meridians appeared, connecting, weaving, and stitching themselves together.
In the blink of an eye, the joined edges had grown together.
Only the center and the bottom-right corner still had two conspicuous gaps, spoiling the integrity of the whole picture.
But just then, the void around the Deceitful Painting suddenly rippled, like a stone had been tossed into a calm lake.
Where the ripples spread, light flickered, and the two missing Deceitful Dream Fragments appeared out of the void like a mirage.
As if drawn by some mysterious force, they slotted perfectly into their corresponding empty spots.
In that instant, the entire Deceitful Painting erupted with brilliant light. It then expanded abruptly, like a giant flower blooming in the dark night, instantly transforming into a massive scroll over ten meters high.
The scroll flapped in the night wind.
RUSH RUSH RUSH...
At the same time, a thick wave of water vapor surged out from within the scroll like a ferocious tide, washing over him.
The unique salty smell of the ocean filled the air, making one feel as if they had been instantly transported to the shore of a vast sea.
Wei Fan looked and saw that the scene in the scroll, which had been just a blurry outline, was now gradually becoming clear and lifelike, as if it were a high-definition photograph, with every detail vivid and real.
But what was even more astonishing was that this was supposed to be a static image, yet now it seemed to have been injected with a soul and had come alive. A thick, black fog churned and roiled within it.
The surface of the painting rippled gently, like water stirred by the wind.
Seeing this, a strange glint flashed in Wei Fan’s eyes.
’Originally, I had planned to wait until I was strong enough to form a top-tier team of Dream Masters before entering the Deceitful Painting. The safety factor would have been much higher that way.’
’Unfortunately, Gao Qian, Teng Liu, Zhou Qing (Ouyang Shuokong), and the others had, in all likelihood, already been captured by the Sun God Sect.’
’There was no way of knowing if they were dead or alive.’
In this situation, he could only enter it alone.
He shook his head, pushing the thoughts aside.
A red glow emerged from his body as he enveloped himself with his Dream Realm.
A look of resolve flashed in his eyes, and he stepped into the scroll before him.
「A few seconds later.」
The space where Wei Fan had been standing twisted slightly, and a ghostly figure quietly appeared. It was none other than Hu Qi.
He tilted his head back, looking at the complete Deceitful Painting.
A strange expression flickered across his face.
He had a strange feeling.
The Deceitful Painting was now like a shriveled human skin that had been injected with Vitality and brought to life.
"The source of the Dream Eyes... Let me see what it really is..."
After pausing for a moment, he took a step forward and entered the Deceitful Painting as well.
His figure vanished from the spot.
Leaving behind only the silent night sky and the Deceitful Painting, suspended in mid-air.
