Chapter 132: Foolish Acts That Harm the Nightmare Without Benefiting Oneself
On the surface, amidst haystacks soaked in blood.
The pink-clothed man’s pupils, filled with terror, trembled. An invisible scythe of death descended, severing his head from his torso. His regretful head, frozen in a stupor, rolled through the haystacks, finally stopping at Xia Feng’s feet.
He Jianzhu had effortlessly ended thirty lives but preserved their souls. With a casual wave of her hand, thirty spirit bodies converged in the air, compressed into a sphere. Their gazes were vacant, and they wailed, reaching out, attempting to return to their physical bodies.
“What’s wrong? Not letting them disintegrate into nothingness?” Xia Feng asked, confused.
He Jianzhu seemed to have contained these spirit bodies, estimating they would dissipate in about two minutes. Only then would these individuals truly be considered dead. The woman in the plain skirt looked up at the bright moon in the sky. “According to the rules, the Sky God can only intervene in two situations: First, when the fourth night of dusk arrives. Second, when all gods are killed. And these nobles are the gods within the Calamity Realm.”
“So?” Xia Feng blinked. “Then kill them, lure the Sky God out, and then you can defeat the Sky God.” He had already decided to cling to his mother-in-law’s leg and completely relax.
He Jianzhu’s beautiful eyes glanced at Xia Feng and she smiled, “My foolish son-in-law, Auntie here can’t beat the Sky God right now.”
“…” What kind of strange appellation is that! Xia Feng decided not to argue with her, considering He Jianzhu’s strength was a tad bit superior to his. However, he hadn’t expected that He Jianzhu also couldn’t defeat the Sky God!
“Then what do we do?”
“What do we do? Of course, we run.” He Jianzhu gazed at Xia Feng gently, opening her fair hand. Dark energy surged. “I can use my last strength to connect to a Nightmare Realm teleportation channel and forcibly send you to the Nightmare Realm to escape this place.”
“Nightmare Realm?” Xia Feng was startled. Are you sure this isn’t a case of jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire? However, he keenly sensed something was not right. “Me? What about Mu Qingtong?” He looked at the black-dressed woman.
“Her?” He Jianzhu also looked at the expressionless Mu Qingtong, her beautiful eyes curving slightly. “A daughter is not as important as a son-in-law~ Besides, such an unfilial daughter, if she dies, she dies. We can just have another one~”
“…” Have another one? Your husband is gone, who are you going to have it with? Xia Feng once again witnessed what was called mother-daughter affection. You two both want the other to die quickly, don’t you!
“Forget it, since Mother-in-law, you have no solution, then I won’t hide it anymore.” Xia Feng raised his cheeks and said confidently, “I’ll be frank, I actually have a way to deal with the Sky God.”
However, He Jianzhu didn’t pay attention to Xia Feng’s ‘nonsense.’ She and Mu Qingtong met each other’s gaze again. Although their expressions were peaceful, there was an inexplicable aura of gunpowder between them, sparks and lightning.
Mu Qingtong smiled serenely, unwilling to bother with this woman. She turned her head and said softly, “Mr. Xia, it’s time to let this ignorant woman know how weak she is.” Mu Qingtong knew that Xia Feng possessed the ability to directly destroy the Calamity Realm.
When Xia Feng obtained ‘Anubi’s Last Gaze,’ he had shown it off to her smugly. She was a bit surprised but understood Mr. Xia’s intention. Xia Feng wouldn’t casually reveal his trump cards, but he chose to tell her about ‘Anubi’s Last Gaze,’ clearly indicating that if she encountered a Calamity Realm she couldn’t handle, she could find him. It was likely out of consideration for her safety, a sign of Mr. Xia’s strong mindset. She hadn’t made any pretense of refusing, which was why she had specifically sought out Xia Feng before this journey.
He Jianzhu looked at Xia Feng with a hint of doubt. “What do you mean? You actually have a way to deal with the Sky God?”
“Of course.” Xia Feng smiled.
“Although the Sky God is a Nightmare God, not as powerful as a Disaster Nightmare of the same level, it is still a Seven-eyed Level.” He Jianzhu’s beautiful eyes were suspicious. “Do you understand what the concept of a Seven-eyed Level is?”
Xia Feng naturally knew. Although a Seven-eyed creature couldn’t ascend to godhood, it had touched the threshold of divinity. While Nightmare Gods were slightly weaker than Disaster Nightmares, they were still not easy to deal with. But unfortunately, in the face of Anubi’s nuclear card, any Calamity Realm below God-tier would be flattened and annihilated! He had initially thought he wouldn’t need to use this so soon, but it just so happened that he encountered a Seven-eyed Level Sky God. If this Sky God were even one level lower, he might have been reluctant to use it. But now, why not use it if it’s available! After all, the final clear reward sounded like a good thing, and he didn’t want to go to the Nightmare Realm, a place filled with Great Nightmares. Given his current strength, going there wouldn’t be suicide, but it would certainly be a one-in-ten-thousand chance of survival.
“Miss Jian Zhu, I understand the concept of Seven-eyed Level.” Xia Feng glanced at the gradually fading spirit bodies in the distance. “But there’s no time for further explanation. Simply put, I will cause the entire Calamity Realm to collapse later, so could you protect the residents here?”
Calamity Realm collapse? He Jianzhu paused, looking at Xia Feng with a hint of doubt, but she nodded nonetheless. “It’s possible, as long as you can truly deal with the Sky God. Otherwise, I still suggest you use my method.”
“The spirit bodies are starting to dissipate.” Xia Feng looked back helplessly. “Miss Jian Zhu, can you hurry?”
“You should call me Mother-in-law.” He Jianzhu pursed her lips and said softly, raising her hand. Instantly, the entire space of the Calamity Realm began to tremble. Somewhere in the distant sky, a giant octopus appeared. Although it had countless tentacles and resembled the previous tentacle monster, it didn’t look as evil. A slit opened on its head, and it sucked fiercely. The rows of buildings on the ground instantly disintegrated, and the elderly, children, men, and women were sent flying into the air. More than seven hundred people in total, their expressions fearful, were swallowed by the octopus’s head before they could comprehend what was happening. The seven Spirit Masters under the Spirit Flesh Fruit Tree, upon Xia Feng’s signal, although bewildered, did not resist and entered the octopus’s head.
“Boom–”
Just then, thunder roared in the sky. A strong man, enveloped in electricity, appeared abruptly on the distant clouds, stepping on thunderclouds. He scanned the surroundings with a detached gaze, noticing He Jianzhu and a black-dressed woman entering the octopus’s head, appearing to be fleeing. “Heh~” he shook his head lightly. “Scared already?”
After entering the octopus’s spatial dimension, He Jianzhu’s beautiful eyes narrowed, monitoring the situation outside. “Why are you so concerned about Mr. Xia?” Mu Qingtong’s gentle voice suddenly sounded beside her. She glanced at her unfilial daughter, the corners of her eyes softening. “You guess~”
“!” “…” “Then, my good daughter, why are you so concerned about him?” He Jianzhu was also a little confused. Logically speaking, her daughter should look down on anyone. The black-dressed woman’s lips curled slightly. “You guess~”
“…” He Jianzhu’s gaze deepened, and she ceased bickering with her arrogant daughter, merely smiling faintly. “Mu Qingtong, if he fails, I will only send him away. You’ll have to fend for yourself.” Mu Qingtong glanced at her mother from the corner of her eye, smiling silently, as if mocking her ignorance and stupidity. “!” He Jianzhu’s delicate eyebrows furrowed; she really felt like resorting to domestic violence.
Rumble–
Outside, white lightning flashed. The moon, hanging in the dark night sky, had inexplicably approached the ground. Geng Gui sat with his legs crossed on the edge of the palace, cracking melon seeds and observing the scene below. “Tsk, what is He Jianzhu doing? Still thinking about protecting those fools?” Geng Gui shook his head sarcastically. “Ten years ago, she was trying to save those people. After ten years, and regaining her senses, her original intention remains unchanged. Is this the ‘Saint Mother’?” The scarlet eyes behind him flickered, and he said indifferently, “That’s why the Garden Owner likes her. The Garden needs a Saint Mother.” “Heh~ Makes sense.” Geng Gui chuckled lightly, continuing to crack melon seeds, his gaze shifting. “But what’s with that man? Is he seeking death?” Only a man remained on the ground, sitting cross-legged at his own pace, holding something between his palms, and clasping his hands together. The Sky God withdrew his gaze from the giant octopus and then looked at the man sitting on the ground. He was dressed in white with an ordinary face. The nude strongman’s gaze was indifferent. With a casual wave of his hand, a terrifying pillar of lightning transformed into a lightning snake descended from the sky, roaring and striking directly at the man’s head, like divine wrath. However, unexpectedly, the divine punishment of lightning paused abruptly above Xia Feng’s head. As electrical currents buzzed and diffused, layers of current instantly washed outwards. Xia Feng clasped his hands together, and a spherical membrane seemed to exist around him, blocking all attacks generated within the Calamity Realm. At the same time, the eerie aura surrounding him began to surge, as if something was about to descend. The Sky God’s gaze was slightly suspicious. He concentrated his vision and easily perceived the Nightmare aura level on this human escalating madly, leaping directly from One-Eyed Nightmare to Four-Eyed Nightmare, Five-Eyed Nightmare… “Eh? Interesting.” Geng Gui’s gaze was filled with curiosity and bewilderment. “Is he summoning some Nightmare Beast? Could he summon a Seven-eyed Disaster Nightmare?” “If that’s the case, then this place will be dangerous.” As he spoke, Geng Gui stood up. “No need to worry.” The Scarlet Eye calmly explained, “This is a Seven-eyed Level Calamity Realm. Although a Seven-eyed Disaster Nightmare is powerful in combat, it is前提 that it can break through the barrier and enter this realm.” “Oh, right, that’s true.” Geng Gui slapped his forehead, sighed in relief, and sat down again. In fact, even if an Eight-eyed Nightmare God arrived, although it could easily suppress the Sky God, it would still be impossible to completely exterminate the Sky God. Protected by a Calamity Realm of this level within the human world, there was no danger at all. Geng Gui smiled. The Scarlet Eye continued indifferently, “Of course, unless the Eight-eyed Nightmare God goes all out, willing to sacrifice seven hundred to injure one thousand. Only then could it instantly kill a Seven-eyed Level creature. Otherwise, the Seven-eyed Level would have a chance to escape directly with the Calamity Realm.” But Disaster Nightmares are very cautious of their lives. Even after reaching God-tier, they wouldn’t do such foolish, self-harming things for a mere human. “Interesting.” The Sky God quietly watched the Nightmare aura on the human’s body continuously climb. Six-eyed Level, Seven-eyed Level! Eight-eyed Level!! When it reached Eight-eyed Level, the Sky God’s brow furrowed. Had he really summoned a Nightmare God?
