Suddenly, a voice rang out in Li Yu's mind without warning:
"We finally succeeded."
Li Yu quickly drew his bow and shouted into the surrounding mist:
"Who's there! Come out!"
"Hahaha, not stupid at all, you still know you're hallucinating."
Li Yu immediately looked around, and all she saw was a vast expanse of white.
Finally, Li Yu realized something, quickly looked up, and finally discovered the giant eye floating in the sky.
The giant black eye was staring intently at him, as if trying to pierce through his soul.
"Nightmare Beast?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised; this was completely unexpected.
He looked at the giant eye in the sky and thought to himself:
'Is this the power of the Nightmare Beast's curse?'
'It can actually invade one's own brain.'
"It seems Lu Fan and Wang Tianzhao were right; the power of this curse is indeed terrifying."
The enormous eyes seemed to be able to communicate directly with Li Yu, and a cunning, delicate voice resounded directly in Li Yu's mind:
"I finally caught you. I almost thought you didn't have any superpowers at all."
"Although it took a long time, I still won in the end."
"I never thought you would have the chance to advance to superpowers. I've lived for so long, and now I finally have the opportunity to take over the body of a superpowered person."
Li Yu ignored the strange sound from the giant eye, instead staring at the eye in disbelief:
"You can actually talk!?"
"Of course I'll talk."
The Nightmare Beast seemed to feel underestimated and immediately retorted:
"Besides, I'm having a conversation with you. Do you understand what a conversation is?"
Li Yu stared wide-eyed in shock:
"You still have intelligence."
"......"
The Nightmare Beast was speechless for a moment.
"Weren't you dead?" Li Yu asked again, his eyes filled with doubt.
After all, he personally shot and destroyed the Nightmare Beast with an arrow, and many people even awakened superpowers because of it.
"I won't die, because I..."
Just as the Nightmare Beast was about to explain, Li Yu interrupted it again:
"How come you're in my head if you're not dead?"
"You're not faking your death, are you?"
The Nightmare Beast was furious, but for a moment it didn't know how to refute him.
Because it truly couldn't understand why this human's superpower was so strange. Even though it had lived for a long time and eventually developed intelligence, it had never seen such a peculiar ability before.
Logically speaking, Nightmare Beasts should be able to regenerate continuously using their curse abilities.
Previously, any creature that successfully killed it would be cursed with death.
Whenever a cursed creature activates its powers, it immediately falls into its illusion, and in turn, it absorbs the other's life force to be reborn.
While it's not exactly immortality, it's not far off.
But for some reason, after it was shot and killed by Li Yu last time, it was firmly embedded in a crossbow and could not move. Even the most basic curse could not affect Li Yu.
This also prevents it from absorbing Li Yu's life force through curses, thus making it unable to be reborn.
Fortunately, it finally got its chance.
"Once you're inside my head, can you ever get out?" Li Yu's voice rang out again, tinged with anxiety.
"You're not going to stay here forever, are you?"
"I can't keep small animals."
"You talk too much!" The Nightmare Beast couldn't hold back any longer, and the voice in its mind grew louder, filled with impatience.
"I'm actually not a talkative person," Li Yu said, spreading her hands with a helpless expression.
"Stop talking nonsense, you've already lost!" The Nightmare Beast glared at Li Yu and threatened loudly, its eyes full of smugness.
At this moment, it had successfully invaded Li Yu's mental sea. Under these circumstances, it was confident that no one could defeat it, and it was determined to defeat this person.
But Li Yu wasn't worried. After everything that had just happened, he could clearly feel that his mental strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
His vortex of energy and his mental sea became incredibly powerful. He could clearly realize that this misty world was his mental space, and that he had completely taken control of it.
In this way, Li Yu was no longer so afraid of the Nightmare Beast's illusionary abilities, since this was his home turf.
The giant eye stared fiercely at Li Yu:
What kind of look is that?
"Underestimating me? Now I'll slowly absorb your life force and be reborn from your body."
The Nightmare Beast stared intently at Li Yu and began to unleash its power.
Li Yu looked at the bow and arrow in his hand and seemed to understand why the Nightmare Beast had appeared.
Before the Nightmare Beast could launch another attack, Li Yu quickly drew his crossbow.
Switching successful
Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from the crossbow, and the gravitational pull instantly struck the giant eye high in the sky.
The Nightmare Beast's pupils dilated instantly, filled with disbelief:
"Impossible! This is a mental space, how could your weapon..."
Before the Nightmare Beast could utter another word, its enormous eye had already transformed into a stream of black energy and been absorbed into the crossbow.
Immediately afterwards, one eye on the crossbow opened in terror, as if it couldn't believe what had happened.
With the Nightmare Beast successfully retrieved, Li Yu felt a surge of energy.
It was as if the final piece of the puzzle had been completed, and the missing piece of spiritual power had been completely fulfilled.
With a thought, the fog in Li Yu's mental world quickly dissipated and began to clear.
Just like opening a door, his consciousness instantly returned to reality.
As soon as Li Yu opened her eyes, she saw Fu Xiyao crying and Xiao Hei standing dumbly to the side.
Seeing that Li Yu finally reacted, Fu Xiyao quickly hugged him tightly.
"Li Yu, what happened to you just now? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Li Yu said softly, trying to comfort me.
After he regained consciousness, he immediately went to experience the differences after advancing to the next level.
At this moment, the vortex in his abdomen was like the eye of a powerful typhoon, constantly driving the energy within to circulate in his body.
Energy flows rapidly, nourishing all genes and cells, bringing about a transformation wherever it passes.
At the same time, this energy was constantly nourishing Li Yu's spiritual sea, surging in wave after wave, continuously strengthening his spiritual power under constant nourishment.
At this moment, Li Yu seemed to have established a wonderful new connection with this world.
He could clearly sense the residual electric energy left by the Electric Eel King around him, and he seemed to be able to control this energy.
"This is my superpower?"
Thinking of the epic battle between Lu Fan and Wang Tianzhao, Li Yu felt a surge of excitement and couldn't wait to try it out.
As the cyclone in his abdomen spun rapidly, the surrounding electrical energy seemed to be drawn together by a powerful magnetic force.
Soon, the electric energy passed through the cyclone and was all concentrated on the crossbow.
Li Yu gripped the crossbow tightly, feeling the weapon in his hand undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
"Could it be that my superpower is the same as Lu Fan's, also lightning-based?"
