Sensing the increased stability of the surrounding space, Lin Feng asked, "Can I freely unleash my power?"
"Hahaha! Yes!" Old Zhang said without any politeness, "The predecessor of this Heaven-Covering Array was the Nine Provinces Barrier. Over a thousand years, more than 100 participants used the rules of heaven and earth to repair it. It's just that I can only activate a part of it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape so many times!"
A natural barrier for the Nine Provinces?
In other words, this great formation is also related to the Nine Cauldrons?
So... this is specifically designed to target the participants?
"Old man Zhang, haven't you understood anything in these two hundred years?" Xuan Cheng sneered, and as he stepped forward, the Hou Tun on his shoulder spat out a cloud of red blood: "You are not qualified to kill me!"
As the blood-red clouds swirled, the distance between Old Man Zhang and Xuan Cheng rapidly closed, and the Hou Tun's shoulder guard transformed into a gigantic beast with shimmering fur, lunging at Old Man Zhang.
Just then, a figure appeared in front of Old Man Zhang.
"Come on, Xuan Cheng, stop bullying the kids, come and fight me!"
In the blink of an eye, the figure was enveloped in demonic energy, and crimson patterns flowed from his eyes, igniting a sky full of fiery blood flames.
"Corpse Demon"
Crackling sounds echoed around as two similar claws collided, it was unclear whether they were striking each other or the space itself.
Immediately afterwards, the group of people who came with Old Man Zhang all surrounded him.
There were colossal demons that blotted out the sky, black dragons that overturned the seas, and even celestial swords and domineering blades, each revealing astonishing power and will.
"Kid, your willpower attribute hasn't reached the Earth-level manifestation level yet, has it?" Old Zhang flew to his side with a smile, puffing on his pipe and blowing out a puff of smoke that made the surrounding space more stable.
"No."
Old Zhang nodded: "Then just take a look. Each level above the Earth level is a whole new world. Although many people haven't been able to get a higher rating, their willpower attribute is relatively easy to improve."
"Old man, you're easier to talk to than last time." Lin Feng scrutinized him for a moment, glanced at the priest Jeda beside him, and then looked back at the battle in the arena.
"Kid, I can tell you're the kind of person who can't stay still," Old Man Zhang said with a laugh. "If this got too involved with you, you'd be torn to shreds by who knows who."
"Then thank you for showing mercy," Lin Feng said with a smile, then asked, "Judging from the situation, you don't seem to be in a hurry to capture him?"
“Even if we catch him, we can’t keep him. The Nightmare Space can take him away easily.” Old Zhang sighed. “At most, he’ll be able to leave once the mandatory mission is activated, after a month.”
"Oh?" Lin Feng glanced at Jeda behind him with a subtle look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhang sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Who told him to mess with such a troublesome fellow? To kill him, we have to completely extinguish his will..."
As he spoke, a terrifying scene appeared around Xuan Cheng.
From those blood-red eyes, a colossal beast crackling with lightning emerged, clashing violently with the will attributes of the other four.
"Nine Heavens Corpse Demon Technique!"
In an instant, a colossal, sky-devouring corpse demon appeared and gripped the giant beast's shoulder tightly.
“It’s difficult.” Old Zhang shook his head: “Xuan Cheng’s will has long been profound, and he can manifest a giant beast with just a simple manipulation, but his will needs the support of magic to be blocked.”
"This old man has worked hard for a hundred years. Manifesting one's will is simple, but to gain such power without relying on any external force, one must carry out one's own 'Dao' to the end."
century?
The Way... must be carried through to the end?
"That's not something you can get with Nightmare Points. The genius protagonists of mission worlds rely on the rules of the world to acquire power. If these rules are gone... for example, if you only rely on attribute points, how can you manifest such supreme power?"
As Old Man Zhang was speaking, Lin Feng suddenly interrupted him: "Then how did you advance a hundred years ago?"
"Oh?" Old Zhang's eyes flashed, and seeing Lin Feng's curious look, he immediately tightened his mind: "Hahaha... There are methods from a hundred years ago. I hadn't come into contact with such amazing things back then."
Really?
Lin Feng didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he carefully observed Xuan Cheng, and some simple guesses flashed through his mind.
Simply put, could 1000 points of mental energy achieve a similar effect?
Putting aside its power, it can at least condense such a realistic physical entity, right?
But conversely, this physical entity seems to have nothing to do with the spirit.
However, the old man also said that he would carry out his 'Dao' to the end. It seems that Xuan Cheng's Dao failed, but judging from his profound will, it seems to have succeeded. Is there any difference between them?
According to Ohno, the promotion of the prefecture-level rating is related to one's own path; the moment the path first appears is the moment one is qualified for the rating.
While thinking, Lin Feng noticed Jeda's subtle gaze. Clearly, the other party didn't want to die for no reason.
"Old man, it seems there's nothing I can help with. Why don't you send me out?" Lin Feng took a step back, making it clear he didn't want to get involved any further.
"Haha, kid, you should stay and see. Although you won't meet in the Nightmare Space for a while, he will definitely become your enemy." Old Zhang laughed a few times, somewhat helplessly.
These are the rules of Nightmare Space.
Lin Feng then said, "Looking at it this way, he's the most comfortable. As long as you guys are in the real world, he can stay in the nightmare space for hundreds of years without ever encountering that person."
"Well, it's hard to say." Old Zhang lowered his head and looked at Jeda: "Although this kid is safe, who knows if Xuan Cheng will send his men to hunt him down? Back then, he trained quite a few zombie participants."
"This is so troublesome, isn't there any way to solve it?" Lin Feng muttered casually.
"This old man has no way to help you either. It really is a matter of fate." Old Zhang sighed. "That's why I didn't have much contact with you back then. If something like this happens, there's really nothing I can do."
"Words can be dangerous." Lin Feng casually echoed, then suppressed his thoughts after giving a wink.
A dozen minutes later, Xuan Cheng, who was surrounded in the middle, suddenly flew into the sky, leaving behind a few cold laughs, and disappeared into the air.
"They ran away again." Old Zhang sighed, raised his hand to remove the array in the sky, and sent them back to reality.
As a bright moon gradually appeared in the night sky, Old Man Zhang smiled and summoned a dark cloud to block their path: "Kid, did you only recently enter the Nightmare Space? Why don't you come with me to register?"
“Sure, but I’m an orphan, 78 years old this year. I got a new body after entering the Nightmare Space.” Lin Feng responded with a smile: “It’s good to be young, otherwise I’ll always look like an old man and I feel like I have no energy.”
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll register you in this city?"
"Okay." Meeting Old Man Zhang's gaze, Lin Feng nodded in a perfunctory manner, "Although I prefer the South a bit more."
“No problem, then I’ll register you in the south, but that place won’t be under my jurisdiction anymore,” Old Man Zhang said smoothly.
Lin Feng quickly hummed in agreement: "Yeah, I basically don't get involved in these things. If you want to collaborate on anything, you can contact my teammates."
"Alright, alright." Seeing that Lin Feng wouldn't let the cooking fumes in, Old Zhang waved his hand and said, "Then we'll go back first. We still need to arrange a new place for this guy tonight, otherwise who knows when that old zombie will suddenly reappear."
