These thousand-odd bizarre figures were wreathed in Demonic Baleful Qi, yet each was dressed as an alchemist. They were the forms of Demon-Corrupted Cultivators among the Mutated Heavenly Demons!
Seeing Shen Mo fly toward the pill furnace, the devils bared savage expressions, greed and longing glinting in their eyes as they surged forward in unison. In an instant, their Demonic Baleful Qi shrouded the entire space.
Some devils trod upon the void and unleashed chain artifacts in an attempt to bind Shen Mo; some concealed themselves within foul radiance and secretly released hooked claws to drag him down; some employed bizarre divine powers in an attempt to freeze him where he stood; others muttered incantations, using devilish sounds to befuddle his mind!
Though Shen Mo came under siege, not a trace of panic showed on his face. He unleashed a host of mind-forged artifacts to fend off the devils' assault...
In an ordinary dream, with the effect of "the mind moving as one wished," even artifacts conjured from thought that were not real artifacts would possess the tremendous might Shen Mo believed them to have. With a mere gesture, he could suppress and destroy these "evil thoughts and devilish thoughts."
However, this was not an ordinary dream. It was the Dream Realm's manifestation within his dream.
After a bout of fierce fighting and spellcasting, Shen Mo quickly discovered that none of the devils' various methods could harm him in the slightest. Likewise, he was unable to injure the devils.
The powerful artifacts he conjured—the Primordial Chaos Dao-Slaying Sword, Azure Cloud Umbrella, Mountain Peak Treasure Orb, Soul Refining Banner, and the like—had not lost their unique properties. Yet when they struck the devils, they had no effect at all, just as one's own dream could scarcely influence another person's dream!
