Chu Xinghe Had Run Out of Ideas!
The Dead Spirit Realm originated from an ancient battlefield!
Excessive Power of Death transformed the wronged souls of the dead into Shadow Ghosts.
But death has not only the Power of Death, but also the power of fear. No one can say that they are completely without fear when facing death.
Therefore, this power of fear transformed into this vortex-like Source of Fear at the heart of the Dead Spirit Realm!
To completely transform the Dead Spirit Realm into the Spirit Realm, it is necessary to eliminate the Lord of Fear Source of Fear of Fear!
The so-called Lord of Fear is actually a manifestation of the Power of Fear carried by countless Shadow Ghosts. He is hidden within the Source of Fear, and the constant killing of Shadow Ghosts by Shu Da has also triggered the fear within the Shadow Ghosts.
This power of fear awakened the slumbering Lord of Fear.
So the Shadow Ghosts that Shu Da and the others saw flying into the vortex were actually being controlled by the Lord of Fear.
The Lord of Fear now controls a large number of Shadow Ghosts, is hiding within the Source of Fear.
He won't come out, but as long as he exists, the Source of Fear will not dissipate. As long as the Source of Fear doesn't dissipate, the Spirit Realm will always be just a decoration!
Moreover, this Spirit Realm was once an ancient battlefield. Logically speaking, since so many powerful individuals died in the ancient battlefield and turned into Shadow Ghosts, there should be a large number of rare treasures.
After all, those cultivators who died in battle couldn't possibly have left behind no extraordinary treasures!
Therefore, the Great Sage believed that those extraordinary treasures were likely hidden within this world Source of Fear.
If we can defeat the Lord of Fear, then all the rare treasures should appear in the world!
"In that case, I will go down and kill this Lord of Fear!" Gu Mingchao could no longer Watch Quietly as Things Change and stepped forward.
But when they heard the Holy Lord was about to leave, Elder He and the Great Sage shook their heads at the same time!
"Holy Lord, you mustn't!" Elder He hurriedly interjected, "Holy Lord, you are unaware that this Lord of Fear himself possesses no power; he is exploiting your Power of Fear!"
"I have no fear!"
Elder He: "..."
Although the Holy Lord's words sound impressive, they are just empty words; no one in the world is without fear!
Therefore, the Lord of Fear himself has no power; his power comes from your own fear... So the greater your fear, the stronger he becomes; the stronger your cultivation, the stronger he naturally becomes.
So if you really let the Holy Lord go down now, things might really get out of control!
Because if you let a Ninth Rank Lord of Fear enter, then he will be a Ninth Rank Lord of Fear. But if you send in a Main God, then after he devours the Main God's Power of Fear, he will become Main God Lord of Fear!
By then, unless Gu Mingchao can kill the Lord of Lord of Fear, there will probably be no one who can defeat him!
"Does the Great Sage know how to defeat this Lord of Fear?" The Grand Elder then pulled the Holy Lord aside and asked the Great Sage.
"It's simple in some ways, and difficult in others... The Lord of Fear wields the Power of Fear. Once you overcome your own fear, you'll have the ability to face the Lord of Fear... The Lord of Fear manipulates the Power of Fear, but Lord of Fear greatest weakness is actually fear itself. If you can instill fear within the Lord of Fear, he will crumble without Lord of Fear!"
The Great Sage's meaning is simple: first, when facing the Lord of Fear, you must overcome your own fear; second, you must make the Lord of Fear itself. In this way, the Lord of Fear will collapse without a fight!
But this thing is simple in some ways, and really difficult in others!
After all, the Power of Fear is the most elusive force in the world... Everyone has fear within them...
For example, some people are naturally afraid of cats and dogs, some are afraid of walking alone at night, and some are afraid of a certain person...
Therefore, the Power of Fear is very mysterious. Once you enter the Source of Fear, you will be dominated by its power. Everyone says that the best way to overcome fear is to face it directly.
But anyone can say that; how many people can truly face their fears head-on?
Moreover, the Lord of Fear wields the Power of Fear, and yet he wants to kill the Lord of Fear with his own Power of Fear —this is even more unbelievable.
More importantly, those who enter the Source of Fear cannot be peak experts like Gu Mingchao, or even Half-Step Main Gods.
Because the Lord of Fear grows stronger when facing the weak and even stronger when facing the strong, once he devours the Power of Fear from an overly powerful being, he may not remain within the Source of Fear forever. If that thing were to escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Shu Da... send a clone in to take a look!"
When the Grand Elder spoke, Shu Da didn't hesitate and immediately summoned a clone into the Source of Fear.
At that very moment, everyone saw Shu Da's clone enter!
As Shu Da entered, a dense forest appeared all around. Standing in this forest, Shu Da's clone looked around for a long time but found no danger.
Just as the Shu Da's clone was wondering and preparing to explore the surroundings further, something unbelievable happened.
Shu Da discovered that all his abilities had vanished... His ability to create clones, everything he had obtained in the Vast Heaven Holy Land —all of it had disappeared!
An aura of fear continuously emanated from Shu Da's clone, and in the end, Shu Da had no choice but to helplessly pull the clone out of the Source of Fear!
The entire room fell silent as everyone watched.
Because by this point everyone had a better understanding of the specifics of the Source of Fear.
This place can amplify your fears infinitely. What is the biggest fear of the Shu Da?
A being who can participate in Mutual Slashing Conference, fight against the Dark Moon Clan, and still yell loudly—you tell me, isn't Shu Da a formidable rat?
But even the Shu Da has its own fears.
Even now, Shu Da fears most is his own power. He's afraid that this is all just a dream, and when he wakes up, he'll still be the Shadow Rat who lives a humble life with Shu Er and Shu San!
He feared that everything was nothing but a mirage, a reflection in the water, a flower in a mirror!
Therefore, the Shu Da's clone lost its abilities after entering it, because you fear this the most, so the power within the Source of Fear will also control you!
"We urge the White Tiger Holy Venerable to seal the Source of Fear first, and then we can discuss this further!" Gu Mingchao spoke up from the side.
Within this Source of Fear, the Lord of Fear will not directly attack you, but the Lord of Fear's Power of Fear will constantly affect everyone who enters it.
Let alone ordinary people, even a strong person like Gu Mingchao wouldn't dare say that he could definitely overcome fear.
Therefore, it's perfectly fine to temporarily seal it off and then reconsider later.
Without saying much, the White Tiger Holy Venerable stepped forward and sealed the entrance to the Source of Fear, temporarily prohibiting anyone from entering.
After the White Tiger Holy Venerable sealed the entrance, everyone emerged from the Spirit Realm.
Standing outside the Spirit Realm, the powerful figures of the Vast Heaven Holy Land began discussing the Source of Fear.
"The Power of Fear is an ability that originates from the human heart. Only by defeating the Power of Fear can one be qualified to defeat the Lord of Fear... But the method to defeat fear is no simple matter..."
"Yes... Shu Da couldn't hold on for even a quarter of an hour after going in; the power of fear is truly formidable!"
"Xinghe... what do you think?" The Grand Elder's gaze turned to Xinghe.
As the Grand Elder spoke, all the bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land turned their gazes to Chu Xinghe.
Seeing the gazes of all the big shots, Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens that he hadn't uttered a single word!
What the hell? Didn't I, Chu Xinghe, just now intend to get rid of this Source of Fear?
Buddy! This is a total trap!
No matter what method I, Chu Xinghe, propose right now, believe it or not, I'll make a killing!
So the best way to overcome fear right now isn't to confront it, but to completely ignore it!
Can't we just leave the Source of Fear there and ignore it?
No matter what method I, Chu Xinghe, propose right now, if the Source of Fear is dealt with directly, the Spirit Realm will open immediately. This is the largest Spirit Realm in history... Nobody knows what it will produce, and who knows how much money we'll make?
So Chu Xinghe was thinking, "Did you think I was just messing around with you these past few days?"
I've been reflecting intensely these past few days. Is it possible that my previous disastrous failures, Chu Xinghe, were because I had too many ideas?
So in this round, I, Chu Xinghe, have absolutely no strategy. I'm not saying or doing anything. Tell me, how the hell am I supposed to lose?
So when asked by the Grand Elder and the other bigwigs of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Chu Xinghe shook his head and said, "Grand Elder, I've never seen this thing before, and I don't have any solutions for it at the moment!"
Upon hearing Xinghe's answer, the assembled bigwigs nodded in agreement, for Xinghe's words made perfect sense. Even they, as bigwigs, might not have seen this thing before, so it was normal that Xinghe had nothing to say.
Seeing the experts resuming their discussion, Chu Xinghe declared, "Don't look down on me. I have absolutely no ideas this round, no backup plans. If I don't make a move, tell me I have no idea how I can lose!"
Chu Xinghe was strict with himself. In the following days, after the news of the Source of Fear was released, good heavens, the Four Continents were all talking about the Source of Fear like crazy!
But this time, everyone realized something was amiss!
Given the long release of information about the Source of Fear, shouldn't Chu Xinghe pull off some bizarre move in this match, following the usual pattern?
Zheng Yu agreed, saying, "Yeah... what's with Senior Brother Xinghe's complete silence this round?"
Senior Brother Xinghe, hurry up and come up with an idea... No matter what kind of idea you come up with, as long as you have an idea, I, Zheng Yu, will immediately follow suit!
So, what does it mean that you don't have any outrageous ideas now, Senior Brother Xinghe?
In the past, Chu Xinghe always do outrageous things, but this time Source of Fear, he remained completely silent...
This has made everyone a little uncomfortable!
Chu Lang's talent has run dry!
Chu Xinghe has truly run out of talent this time!
It has to be said that it has to be Leader Bai Yu. Leader Bai's post about Chu Xinghe not being omniscient or omnipotent, but just having run out of ideas, went straight to the top of the trending searches!
Leader Bai said, "You all say that Chu Xinghe is a master strategist who can outwit anyone!"
Now tell me, is Chu Xinghe completely refusing to utter a single word? Does he have absolutely no tricks up his sleeve?
Faced with fear, even Chu Xinghe could only speak while kneeling!
