Chapter 348: Fishing the Universe, Startling the Myriad Demons!

Saying it, then doing it!

No hesitation at all.

Yao immediately sat cross-legged in this deathly silent void, slowly sitting down.

She closed her eyes; on that absolutely beautiful face, all color drained away, leaving only a jade-like pallor and resolve.

Sun Wukong remained silent.

He held the iron rod that had turned gray-white, like an ancient, unmoving deity, standing silently before Yao.

He was her strongest line of defense.

He was her most loyal guardian deity!

Yao's hands formed a complicated and profound seal before her chest.

The next second.

Hum—

An intangible yet vast and mighty power surged forth from her frail body, unreservedly!

Her divine soul.

Her Illusory Dream Great Dao.

At this moment, it all burned!

A dazzling giant net woven from countless strands of dream-realm light, centered on Yao's body, instantly spread wildly in all directions!

That was not an expansion of the physical realm.

But a conceptual covering!

This giant net ignored the indestructible world barriers.

It pierced through the twisted, chaotic spacetime currents.

It enveloped the prosperous Supreme Divine Dynasty.

It also covered the desolate, deathly silent cosmic graveyard.

This moment.

The entire multiverse, regardless of where one is, regardless of cultivation level, regardless of race.

Every living being that possesses a dream.

Every world's unconscious murmur in slumber.

All were gently touched for an instant by that gentle yet overbearing 'Heart-Thought Net'.

So vast, so irrational the Dao-law fluctuation.

It was like someone throwing a nuclear bomb capable of destroying a star system into an ancient well that had been calm for billions of years!

The entire multiverse was instantly startled!

Countless ancient beings hidden in the river of time, sleeping in dimensional cracks, even dormant in the ruins of fallen worlds,

At this moment, they were abruptly awakened from sleep by this sudden, vast 'dream realm' aura.

Roar—

A certain dust cloud band deep in the Star Sea suddenly exploded!

A scarlet eyeball, countless times larger than a star, suddenly opened!

Within that eyeball, there was no pupil, only a chaotic vortex filled with greed and hunger!

It sensed Yao's incomparably pure dream-realm origin!

To it, that was nothing short of the ultimate feast in this world!

The next second, that gigantic eyeball turned into a blood-light, tearing through the void toward Yao's direction,

It lunged at lightning speed, seeking to swallow that delicious dream-realm and its caster in one gulp!

Yao paid no heed to the outside world, continuing to fully focus on controlling that great net.

And Sun Wukong before her didn't even turn his head.

He merely let out a cold snort.

"You ignorant thing!"

He held the rod with one hand, his left hand empty, and casually swung it backhand toward the blood-light.

Just like shooing away an annoying fly.

Boom!!!

That gigantic eyeball capable of devouring stars, in the void billions of miles away from them,

It didn't even manage a death cry before suddenly exploding outright!

It burst into a dazzling, gorgeous shower of starlight across the sky!

The dead cannot die again!

However, this was merely a beginning.

A nebula formed from countless resentful spirits, evil ghosts, and demonic thoughts also came howling from another direction!

Within that nebula echoed the most anguished, vengeful death cries of countless beings, able to directly corrupt the Dao heart and taint the divine soul!

"So noisy!"

Sun Wukong grinned, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth.

He turned his head, slightly opening his mouth toward the sky-obscuring ghostly fog nebula.

Whoosh—

A golden flame surged forth from his mouth!

Samadhi True Fire!

The flames swelled in the wind, instantly turning into a raging sea of fire that completely devoured the entire ghoulish nebula!

Ah——!

Innumerable Cànjiào sounds, tens of thousands of times more shrill than demonic sound flooding the ears, issued from the sea of fire—then abruptly ceased.

The firelight faded.

That vast ghoulish nebula had been burned to utter cleanliness!

Not a trace of resentful spirits or evil ghosts remained!

Yao remained seated cross-legged.

She was like a master fisherman, fully focused, controlling the Mind-Net that covered the entire universe.

Filtering endless chaotic information.

Sensing countless different 'emotions'.

Her complexion gradually turned paler than snow.

Maintaining such a huge, intricate technique, the drain on her Primordial Source is unimaginably terrifying!

Sun Wukong, bored, swatted them away like flies, easily crushing those attracted petty fools trying to get a share.

Meanwhile, he diverted a thread of his mind to monitor Yao's condition.

Watching her delicate frame tremble slightly from overexertion, a flicker of hard-to-discern pity flashed in his blood-red eyes.

He extended his left hand and gently pressed it against Yao's back.

A stream of pure Source Power, imbued with the overbearing aura of the Way of the Equal Heaven, slowly passed to her.

To replenish the consumption of her soon-to-dry Dao foundation.

His movements were very gentle.

So gentle that Yao herself didn't notice.

Time flowed by second by second in these repeated 'fishing' and 'guarding the Dharma'.

One day.

Ten days.

One month.

Yao's clean forehead was already covered in fine cold sweat.

Sweat slid down her pale cheeks, dampening her collar.

Her body trembled more and more severely, as if she might collapse at any moment from inability to support herself.

But her gaze became ever brighter at this moment!

Ever more focused!

Because, after countless screenings and filtrations.

The Mind-Net cast across the universe finally began to receive some extremely faint feedback!

Like a stone tossed into an endless deep sea.

The ripples it stirred, though faint and distant, truly existed!

There's hope!

Sun Wukong also sensed Yao's change of mind; his blood-red eyes likewise brightened!

The Tiěbàng in his hand unconsciously gripped tighter!

Soon!

Soon, we'll find that bastard's lair!

But just as Sun Wukong's killing intent was about to become uncontrollable!

Just as Yao prepared to follow that faint feedback and trace the source with all her might!

An abrupt change occurred again!

Pfft!

Yao's body shuddered violently!

A mouthful of bright red blood spurted from her mouth without warning!

Her bright eyes were instantly filled with endless shock and pain!

On her paper-pale face, expressions of ecstasy and terror simultaneously appeared!

She turned her head sharply toward Sun Wukong, exerting all her strength, and cried out:

Found it!

I've found that feeling!

But...

The net... the net is tangled by something!

It is... it is contaminating my dream in reverse!!!
