Chapter 150 Breaking the Nightmare
Chapter 150 Breaking the Nightmare
"No...no! Don't kill me, spare me! My remnant soul is no longer a threat. I swear an oath to the heavens to serve you as my master and spare me..." Nightmare roared incessantly.
In dreams, nightmares are inherently immortal, and even if one is outmatched, their soul can easily escape. However, Xia Linxian's Zhenhai Pearl was exceptionally powerful; he couldn't escape the dream!
"Shut up!" Xia Linxian gathered lightning in his palm, and his body surged with lightning, like a thunder king, and smashed into the nightmare's soul!
At this moment, the elder guarding the outer array of the dream array sensed the danger of the nightmare and was extremely anxious.
The elders guarding the formation kept urging the formation to work, and the laws of dreams kept converging on the nightmare, trying to help him escape.
The purple mist on the Nightmare Soul surged continuously, and another Xia Linxian appeared, whose supernatural powers were exactly the same as Xia Linxian's.
The two bolts of lightning collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a dazzling light.
The entire dream world was illuminated by dazzling lightning.
Xia Linxian felt as if he were truly fighting against himself. The person opposite him, a manifestation of his dream, possessed supernatural powers and cultivation that were virtually identical to his own!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nightmare quickly possessed the illusory body of Xia Linxian. After the attack, it dared not linger and turned to flee.
"Jun Tian Ding Yu!" Xia Linxian arranged the twenty-four Zhen Hai Pearls into a star map array, sealing off all of Nightmare's escape routes.
"Xia Linxian, do you have to be so ruthless? You can only trap me, but you can't do anything to me! Aren't you afraid that your fellow disciples will be worn down to death by you?!" Nightmare roared.
"If you let me go, you can save your fellow disciples. Otherwise, their souls will be forever lost!" Nightmare tried to persuade Xia Linxian while fighting against him.
"I told you, you will die today!" Xia Linxian ignored him and his moves became increasingly fierce.
"Fine! Then I'll see how you manage to kill both of us in this dream!" Nightmare stopped wasting words. With the dream law within the great formation greatly enhanced, he was now invincible.
Outside the dream, those who had just woken up saw purple mist surging within the dream array space, rushing madly towards Liu Yiyi, with seven-colored rays almost weaving her into a cocoon.
"Oh no! Senior Brother Xia is in trouble! Junior Brother Chu, come with me to assist Senior Brother Xia!" After realizing what was happening, Li Jingyun casually unleashed a Void Slash towards Liu Yiyi.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyi immediately stopped using his supernatural powers on the others and began to focus all his efforts on reversing the Dream Transformation technique on Liu Yiyi.
Just as Li Jingyun and Chu Tianyi unleashed their divine powers, much of the purple mist around Liu Yiyi was dispelled, and many of the seven-colored rays of light began to break.
Within Liu Yiyi's dream, the fake Xia Linxian swayed slightly, and his ability to imitate Xia Linxian's supernatural powers also slowed down.
"Not good!" Xia Linxian, in his nightmare form, narrowed his eyes.
Xia Linxian was now fully activating the Zhenhai Pearls, and the twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls suddenly contracted towards the center.
At this moment, the fake Xia Linxian, who was the embodiment of the nightmare, saw twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls, each the size of a small mountain, pressing down from all directions, above and below.
The immense pressure made it impossible for him to maintain his human form any longer. The fake Xia Linxian's figure collapsed with a crash, leaving only the nightmare's soul trembling.
Xia Linxian kept making hand seals, and the Zhenhai Pearl became smaller and smaller, and its compression range also became smaller and smaller.
"Aaaaaah..." Nightmare's soul roared madly.
"Destroy it!" Xia Linxian slammed his hands together, compressing the Zhenhai Pearl into one place.
The terrifying pressure shattered the Nightmare's soul completely, turning it into a cloud of dream mist that dissipated, leaving no possibility of escape or resurrection.
The entire collapsed dream world of Fuyao finally stopped its rampage.
Still shaken, Liu Yiyi leaned against Xia Linxian's back, only then belatedly realizing that everything that had just happened was a devastating illusion.
"It's alright, I'm here." Xia Linxian gently comforted her, channeling his own spiritual power into her body to heal her injuries.
Then Xia Linxian took Liu Yiyi's hand, and the Zhenhai Pearl flashed with light, tearing through the dream barrier and steadily bringing her out of the dream space.
Meanwhile, within the core domain of the Illusionary Dream, Li Jingyun continued his attack.
He pointed his Dragon Roar Sword diagonally into the void, its light like a celestial river pouring down, and his Daoist voice resounded throughout the entire dream realm: "Severing Thoughts from the Void!"
Formless and invisible, the sword light of mental energy, designed to cut through illusions, slashed out with a thunderous roar!
The sword light first swept over Qin Wan, who was deeply immersed in the dream of Chaomu Peak.
When the mountain gate was besieged, she held the Mountain and River Fan and built a towering wall to protect the disciples on the peak. She fought a bloody battle.
Suddenly, the entire world split open with a deafening roar. The sky, mountains, enemies, and fellow disciples all turned into crystalline fragments, scattering like a meteor shower.
Qin Wan's body trembled, and she suddenly opened her eyes, instantly waking up.
Immediately afterwards, the sword light swept towards Su Qingyuan. In her dream, she was in Qinghui Courtyard on Luoyu Peak, where she was squatting in the courtyard, enjoying the moon and chatting with Li Jingyun. Life was peaceful and carefree.
Suddenly, a huge rift was torn open in the void by a sword, and everything around instantly collapsed into flowing light and shadow. Su Qingyuan let out a soft hum and opened her eyes to wake up.
Mo Yuan is deeply embroiled in the Mo family's power struggle, while Ye Wei comprehends sword techniques at Luoxia Peak. The Cold Star Blade flashes with light, piercing through the clouds.
Lin Yan was deducing celestial secrets on Tianyan Peak. His bronze compass spun rapidly, seemingly able to see through the past and future.
Chenghao was fighting a great battle with the demon race. The Blazing Sun Dragon Spear conjured up nine phantom dragons that stretched out and looked down on the world, while the Xuanwu Dharma Body stood tall and upright.
Chu Tian sat cross-legged and used all his strength to reverse the Dream Path Divine Power. The pale purple Dream Path spiritual light was like thousands of threads, binding the souls of the group.
Chu Tianyi used his own cultivation in the Dream Dao as a guide to gradually peel away the shackles of the dream, slowly pulling their souls, which were deeply trapped in illusion, outward.
After Xia Linxian brought Liu Yiyi out, he once again entered the dream world with his divine soul, and successively broke into the dreams of the remaining people, directly shattering the dream world from the inside.
Li Jingyun unleashed his Void Slash relentlessly, the sword light crisscrossing the dream space. With each strike, one person's dream world shattered, heaven and earth collapsed, and fragments flew everywhere.
The three worked together flawlessly: Chu Tianyi drew the enemy outwards, Xia Linxian broke through from within, and Li Jingyun delivered a powerful strike.
In less than half an incense stick's time, Chenghao, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. His hundred-foot-tall Xuanwu Dharma Body flashed subconsciously, and Xuanhuang spiritual light protected his body. Then it slowly dissipated, his eyes filled with lingering fear.
At this point, all eleven people awoke and escaped the illusory dream of the Great Dream Devouring Heart Array.
When everyone came to their senses, their backs were already soaked with cold sweat. Looking at the dream realm in front of them, they were all filled with lingering fear.
If Chu Tianyi hadn't discovered Lu Mingdao's fatal flaw first, and if Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun hadn't joined forces in time to break the dream...
Today, they will be forever trapped in that false dream of rescue, only to be shattered one by one by the nightmare, ending up with their souls and bodies destroyed.
Outside the formation, the main force of Anxiang Tower was already on high alert.
"I never imagined that the disciples of the Dao Academy and the Zhenwu Sect would possess such extraordinary abilities and such powerful magical treasures. They actually have four of the Ten Great Spiritual Treasures of the Nine Provinces!"
"Xia Linxian's bead is even higher in grade than a spiritual treasure! Not only did it allow him to leave the dream so quickly, but it also allowed him to kill the nightmare within the dream!" The guardian elder of Anxiang Tower said with a grim face.
That Nightmare was one of their top-ranked Heavenly-level assassins, specializing in killing in dreams, and was feared by many in Zhongzhou.
He was actually killed in his dream and couldn't even escape!
Everyone outside the formation completely abandoned their underestimation and was preparing their killing moves, ready to deliver a fatal blow as soon as they broke through the dream domain.
At this moment, Qianhuan Langjun felt a chill run down his spine; he was already beginning to regret accepting Lu Ming's offer.
The strength Xia Linxian displayed startled him.
First, he cracked the Heavenly Secrets Concealment Formation that had remained unbroken for a thousand years in the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and then he killed the Nightmare in the Nightmare Dream.
At this moment, Qianhuan Langjun had already decided how he would die.
However, Lu Ming had already been thrown into the alchemy furnace and burned by the Nine Yang True Fire for several days. At this moment, he was probably beyond dead, with no room for maneuver left!
