Free Web NovelChapter 494: Chapter 487: Nightmare Space
Zhang Dongwei’s eyes snapped open. Silvery-white starlight swirled around his body, and Zhou Yuanjue’s words seemed to echo in his mind.
A rude awakening!!
Hui Ming’s abilities were temporarily suppressed, the cracks in his mind momentarily sealed. The suppression from the bloodline magnetic field was also lifted due to outside intervention.
Zhang Dongwei had found himself again.
He raised his head and looked through the illusory Nightmare Dream Realm. He saw Zhou Yuanjue’s figure within the Rainbow on the horizon slowly dissipate, having poured out its will. As the Rainbow receded, a faint smile touched Zhang Dongwei’s lips.
That Rainbow, so brilliant against the darkness of the Nightmare Dream Realm, had helped him find his way again.
’How pathetic. Needing a junior to wake me up... I guess I’ve really lost my touch.’
Zhang Dongwei sighed to himself. He never expected his opponent’s abilities to be so bizarre that he had almost been completely lost without even seeing his enemy’s true face.
’You were right. Right and wrong are all in the past. What’s done is done; we can’t change it. Instead of getting tangled up in the rights and wrongs of yesterday, it’s better to look squarely at the present and the future.’
’Whether I fell into the enemy’s trap, whether I made the wrong choice... at this moment, there is only one thing I must do.’
’And that is to uphold my dignity and freedom as a Martial Artist, and to crush this conspiracy that has been forced upon me!’
BOOM!!!
Freed from his restraints, a majestic magnetic field and the light of his will erupted from Zhang Dongwei’s body.
ROAR!!
The giant beast of Yin Yang Unity manifested its magnificent form once more, descending upon the world.
The ground was forced apart by Zhang Dongwei’s power. His body, which had been dragged into the depths, re-emerged as the earth cracked open. And that power continued to expand, consuming the entire valley, the entire Dream Realm, until...
CRACK!!
The Nightmare Dream Realm shattered, breaking apart piece by piece.
「Back in reality.」
BOOM!!
A massive blast of air exploded outward with the expanding magnetic field. Hui Ming tapped his feet lightly, putting some distance between himself and Zhang Dongwei.
’Damn it!!!’
’That guy’s will actually broke through the Nightmare Dream Realm’s seal so easily! He’s at least a thousand kilometers away, near Sannas! What the hell are Sibi and the others doing?! I was so close, and that bastard had to ruin it!’
Hui Ming’s face darkened as he looked to the sky. There, the Rainbow had faded until it was nearly invisible, and the figure within had vanished completely.
He tried to suppress Zhang Dongwei again with his bloodline’s magnetic field and his own abilities. However, Zhou Yuanjue’s will had not yet completely dissipated; it still lingered around Zhang Dongwei’s body. Furthermore, Zhang Dongwei was currently in a state of heightened will. To effectively suppress him again, Hui Ming would have to wait for this state to subside.
But... his gaze fell upon Zhang Dongwei’s body. His flesh, like that of a monster, had almost completely broken through its shackles. The demonic nature in his eyes was being suppressed again, clarity gradually returning.
’If that guy regains control after breaking his shackles to this extent...’
Hui Ming took a deep breath. What was supposed to be a simple hunt had suddenly become much more complicated.
’This power...’
Zhang Dongwei looked at his own body, feeling the unprecedented power coursing through him. A flash of amazement crossed his eyes.
Although he had not yet truly broken through to the King Level, the power he now possessed was unimaginable.
He turned his gaze to Hui Ming, who stood a short distance away.
"You were right. I do cherish life."
"But you were also wrong. To cherish life is the instinct of every living being."
"However, a Martial Artist possesses both the passion to embrace life and the courage to face death without fear."
"I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that right now, I’m going to beat you to death!!"
BANG!!
The next second, Zhang Dongwei’s towering, monstrous form suddenly vanished from its spot.
Hui Ming’s pupils contracted sharply.
The next instant, moving faster than his eyes could follow, Zhang Dongwei’s massive figure appeared right in front of him, completely blocking his vision.
A palm struck out!!
’So fast!!’
Hui Ming took a sharp breath and threw his arms up to block in front of his chest.
The palm struck true.
WHOOSH!!!
Hui Ming’s body shot backward at supersonic speed and collided head-on with a distant mountainside. He was driven deep into the rock, and the unstable mountain trembled violently.
Countless fragments of rock tumbled down to the ground below.
Hui Ming’s crisp suit was now stained with dust, his neat hair was in disarray, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
He had somehow survived such a terrifying attack without suffering a fatal blow.
’Such terrifying strength. If I weren’t in this special state right now, it’s hard to say if I could truly suppress him.’
Hui Ming, the Nightmare of the Heart Demon. As a direct Descendant of Doctor Nightmare—the only one of the Twelve Primordial Ancestors who was awake and walking the world in a special state—his power was the greatest among all the Seven Mo Luo!
’He’s not far from the power of a King. What a pain.’
Hui Ming’s gaze was cold. But before he could react, the massive figure vanished again, reappearing before him at near-teleportation speed.
Zhang Dongwei was also somewhat shaken by Hui Ming’s strength. He was well aware of his own power at that moment, so for his opponent to withstand it at such a small cost was, in itself, unbelievable.
But the more this was the case, the thicker his killing intent grew.
’A being of this level must hold an extremely high position within the current Celestial Demon System. The stronger he is, the more I must ensure he doesn’t leave this place alive.’
’If once isn’t enough, then I’ll do it twice.’
’If twice isn’t enough, then a hundred times, a thousand times!’
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Dust and smoke filled the air, the great earth trembled, and the Turtle and Snake Form roared amidst the haze.
Under Zhang Dongwei’s furious assault, the entire valley was rapidly collapsing.
The mountainsides were shattered into countless rocks of varying sizes by the immense power, and the terrain was reshaped.
Under Zhang Dongwei’s relentless attacks, Hui Ming could only parry.
His once-pristine clothes were torn to shreds, his hair a mess, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.
’It’s been years since I’ve been in such a sorry state.’
’The King Level... it truly is an obstacle as massive as a mountain.’
However.
"Did you know? This plan was supposed to be foolproof."
"Even with a few minor accidents, it’s still foolproof."
"Because, compared to the other Seven Mo Luo, I am... ’special’..."
Hui Ming whispered. It was only then that Zhang Dongwei noticed that his opponent’s magnetic field, under the barrage of their continuous collisions, seemed to have undergone a subtle yet profound change.
"My Lord, it seems the situation here requires your intervention."
BUZZ!!
The next moment, Hui Ming, who seemed to have established a strange connection with some other existence, lightly pointed his finger.
A wash of gray light spread out violently.
The surroundings changed in an instant.
Zhang Dongwei came to a sudden halt. The scene around him was now identical to the one he’d seen when he was first dragged into the nightmare!
