Tonight Sleepless
The Inner Scenery Realm opened automatically, the gaps widening as wisps of purple mist and silver light emerged. Was this a substance close to reality? It was different from before!
Moonlight poured down, scattering across the reed lake and the lawn. Wang Xuan, feeling uneasy, stood quietly in place, with no urge to enter the Inner Scenery Realm.
He secretly activated the God Slaying Banner, which was hidden in the soil of his life, surrounded by a faint Red Substance —a destructive energy that he could unleash at any moment with World-Shaking Strike!
This is very unusual. Why would the interior suddenly open?
It's neither due to his Super-Sense nor is it akin to divine perception. There are no conditions to open the Inner Scenery Realm right now. So who, and what power, is in control?
Wang Xuan projected a portion of his Mental Power into the earth, picked up the lid of the Nurturing Life Furnace, and decided to go all in if anything unexpected happened!
The timing was very coincidental. Only a little over ten days after the four masters left, inexplicable events began to occur around him, and he felt that danger was approaching.
At this point, the Inner Scenery Realm gradually revealed its full appearance, opening up completely and showing the true situation.
Wang Xuan's Spiritual Heavenly Eye scanned the area and found no living beings inside, only strange substances, like purple aura coming from the east, or the silver light emanating from the Life Pool, just like the two substances he had seen in the Misty Land!
This is a bit outrageous. How did material from a meteorite impact site end up here?
He stared silently, making no movement. In the Inner Scenery Realm, the Mysterious Factor falling like goose feathers in the snow did not decrease and continued to fall from the sky.
The purple mist and silvery substance were very faint, like scattered snowflakes, falling gently from the sky.
As for the sky Inner Scenery Realm, it was pitch black, so deep and serene that standing there felt like standing in a clear Time river.
A faint purple mist gathered and slowly drifted out of the Inner Scenery Realm, blocking the view in mid-air and making the bright moon appear purple, creating a sense of mystery.
Wang Xuan felt extremely uneasy, and finally his hair stood on end. There was definitely something wrong with all of this, but his Spiritual Heavenly Eye the Inner Scenery Realm and found nothing.
He gripped the Iron Stake tightly with his right hand, while keeping the furnace lid and the divine flag at bay, waiting for the moment when the true intentions would be revealed!
Overall, Wang Xuan felt a sense of dread. This was the first time he had encountered something like this, not caused by himself, but by an external force that had opened his inner vision.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. This was too terrifying. What kind of power was that? Could he withstand it?
Finally, he sensed the source of the danger. It was not far away, to his left. The other party teleported and appeared behind him in an instant, at a very close distance, less than ten meters away!
Someone's there? He got goosebumps!
A creature that can approach within ten meters of him silently must be ridiculously powerful, at least at the level of a patriarch!
Objectively speaking, in terms of strength, he is not yet capable of fighting against peerless beings, but his perception is still extremely sharp, and he can make certain judgments.
Wang Xuan didn't turn around. The fact that someone could open his Inner Scenery Realm within ten meters was a huge shock to him, instantly making him feel insecure.
His Spiritual Heavenly Eye had no blind spots; with its complete spiritual coverage and radiation, it captured all anomalies in the outside world and naturally saw the terrifying intruder!
It was a shadow, pressed against the ground, behind Wang Xuan, slowly approaching in the moonlight, silent and oppressive, making him intensely uneasy.
Of course, if Wang Xuan didn't have the Spiritual Heavenly Eye, he wouldn't feel any pressure. Only those with such keen perception, who can detect such anomalies and know that the threat of death is approaching step by step, can create a suffocating sense of urgency and send chills down one's spine.
With unwavering willpower, Wang Xuan maintained steady breathing and a calm mind, showing no abnormalities. Faced with the unknown and a monster that could seriously threaten his life, he did not act rashly.
He believed that this creature was stronger than him, and that a normal life-or-death struggle would be a huge crisis for him.
Wang Xuan planned to use the furnace lid and the God Slaying Banner with Red Substance as his trump cards to launch a fatal blow at the last moment!
Of course, he also planned to activate the great supernatural powers that Fang Yuzhu and Zhang Daoling had engraved in his body, to completely eliminate the strange enemy!
"Why did they open my Inner Scenery Realm first? Is this to confirm something?" Wang Xuan was also thinking quickly during the most tense moment.
Recently, there has only been one person who is thinking about his Inner Scenery Realm — Zheng Yuantian!
However, Old Zheng was beaten to death by him, dying under the treasure.
Even if there were the slightest possibility that Old Zheng could be resurrected, he wouldn't be able to kill Wang Xuan. His physical body was gone, his cultivation had been reduced, and his strength wouldn't allow it!
Moreover, he personally killed Zheng Yuantian, and it has been verified that he is indeed dead.
Moreover, Wang Xuan's Spiritual Heavenly Eye clearly, and his instinctive intuition was also very strong. He was able to confirm that this was not Zheng Yuantian's divine aura, but rather that it was stronger than his!
It was a tall, slender shadow that appeared quite ethereal and otherworldly on the moon. It seemed to be a man, giving off an unparalleled sense of holiness that transcended the mortal realm.
This is very strange. Although its true form was not seen, its shadow was approaching on the ground, floating around as if it were about to Ascension to Immortality and achieve true immortality, carrying a power close to reality.
It's getting closer and closer, and the sense of horror is getting stronger and stronger. When you close your Spiritual Heavenly Eye, everything is calm, but when you open it, the waves crash against the shore, and a hellish catastrophe is about to descend.
At the most critical moment, Wang Xuan tried switching between these two different experiences, which gave him a strange feeling of initially stepping into the spiritual realm.
At that time, ordinary people could not see the mythical phenomena in the spiritual realm; only those who had opened up the spiritual realm could see them.
Now it's gone a step further. Without the Spiritual Heavenly Eye, you can't see the danger or the monster. Even the powerful spiritual domain of an extraordinary person is no match for it!
Wang Xuan couldn't help but want to make a move, and was about to unleash his power, but the monster began to dart around, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, very cautiously.
Is this a provocation, or is it a mockery?
Suddenly, he noticed something terrifying and strange: his shadow on the ground had been stretched out, becoming tall and thin, and extending several meters away.
Then, that tall, slender figure, a mysterious creature with an otherworldly aura, appeared in the form of a shadow, rapidly approaching his shadow!
The tall figure changed shape; it swelled up and became imposing, reaching out its hands to grab Wang Xuan's shadow and opening its mouth wide, as if to devour the shadow he left on the ground!
This is extremely strange. That was just Wang Xuan's shadow on the ground. How could it be eaten?
What will happen once it's swallowed?
Wang Xuan could no longer tolerate this. He absolutely could not let the other party have their way with such a creepy sight and bizarre experience. How could he let that mysterious creature run rampant? He would smash it first as a sign of respect!
To deal with shadows, kill them first, regardless of whether it's useful or not!
However, as Wang Xuan's body glowed and unleashed powerful energy, lifting the flag and holding the canopy in an attempt to activate Fang Yuzhu and Zhang Daoling's supernatural powers, the shadow suddenly smiled coldly, revealing white teeth in its mouth, half-shadow and half-real, which was extremely terrifying.
Moreover, it became even more elusive, its two hands reaching out to drag Wang Xuan's shadow, stretching it to ten meters long, shifting left and right, changing its trajectory—it was too fast.
Wang Xuan tried several times to smash it and activate his great supernatural power to suppress it, but he was unable to lock onto that terrifying shadow!
His scalp tingled; this was the first time he had encountered such a monster, especially since it wasn't heading straight for his real body but moving sideways across the ground in the distance.
Suddenly, a deep roar sent shivers down the spines of everyone in the Real World. Everyone sleeping in the area involuntarily shuddered and trembled.
Wang Xuan erupted, God Slaying Banner, carrying Red Substance, flew out and blasted towards the shadow on the ground. The shadow also launched an attack, grabbing Wang Xuan's shadow and opening its mouth to devour it.
At the same time, the great supernatural powers of the furnace lid, Fang Yuzhu, and Old Zhang are about to be unleashed. As long as the God Slaying Banner touches it and takes effect, it can be locked onto.
Suddenly, the shadow staggered backward, released Wang Xuan's shadow, and let out an even deeper, more muffled growl, like the lord of demons muttering to himself in the abyss, a terrifying sound.
Wang Xuan's shadow returned to normal, no longer withered and long, and returned to his vicinity. He was astonished, realizing that it wasn't the God Slaying Banner that had worked, but rather that the flag had simply flown out.
With a whoosh, he immediately pulled the flag back and gripped it tightly in his hand!
The creature shrank, no longer inflating, returning to its slender form. It was somewhat wary of the God Slaying Banner and the Red Substance on it, but it wasn't overly cautious of Wang Xuan's presence, instead looking in another direction.
Two more shadows appeared abruptly by the reed-covered lake, without a sound. This was rather eerie; three in a row tonight?!
Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Tonight was too unusual. What was going on? What kind of creatures were these? They were impossible to guard against!
If you look closely, the two shadows are in the shape of a man and a woman. The shadows are quite long and are slowly moving towards the long shadow.
A sword appeared in the woman's hand, and she slashed directly at the tall shadow on the ground. It was as fast as light, and a terrifying sword light flashed in the void, causing the real space to explode and collapse.
Wang Xuan's pupils contracted. It was clearly the shadows on the ground that were fighting, but in the real void scene, there was such a big commotion!
What he saw tonight was both strange and eerie, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
The woman pressed forward, sword in hand, causing the tall figure to retreat.
At the same time, the man standing with the woman also made his move, as fierce as thunder, chasing after her and smashing the tall shadow on the ground with his fist.
With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning appeared in the sky above Reed Lake, piercing through the heavens.
It was a bit outrageous. The shadows on the ground were fighting, and there was an unusually bright and dazzling lightning bolt in the sky. It was breathtaking and made people's souls uneasy.
Wang Xuan remained calm and did not make a move. Instead, he stood there quietly watching, ready to enter the fray at any moment and engage in the final battle.
Soon, he realized that the man and woman seemed to have no ill intentions towards him and did not feel anything was wrong. The two of them made his tall shadow stagger backward.
The chilling whisper, like the sneer of the Lord of Hell, pierced through endless time and space. The tall shadow trembled violently once more, its body swaying backward before it turned and fled.
He ran away, but he was no match for the man and woman!
The two figures, a man and a woman, pursued the enemy with lightning speed without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
The bright moon hung high, its light like a light veil, shrouding the world in a hazy and ethereal glow. Only Wang Xuan remained standing alone by the reed-covered lake, clutching the God Slaying Banner, staring Death Zone at the direction where the three figures had disappeared into the distance. Tonight, he was destined to have a sleepless night.
Thanks to Yangchunsha, Qingqingleo, and Liuyunzhiluo for their support. There were many alliance members recently, and I haven't had a chance to thank some of them yet, so I'm making up for it now.
