Myriad Phenomena Garden.
Han Xuanji cleared his mind of all distractions and focused on cultivation, forming a mysterious pattern of yin and yang rotating around his body.
He held out his hands in a gesture of respect, his left hand holding the Origin of Supreme Yin like a clear, cold moon, and his right hand holding the Origin of Supreme Yang like a blazing sun. These two completely opposite forces of the Great Dao began to slowly merge into his Mystic Heaven Great Dao under his guidance.
On the other side.
The Lord of Nightmares has also begun to take action.
As a being born with the power to control fear, his greatest skill lies in peering into the deepest flaws in people's hearts.
All living beings have things they fear. Although Immortal Dao cultivators are extraordinary and detached from worldly affairs, they are not immune to the seven emotions and six desires. The weak fear the bullying of the strong, and the strong also fear the stronger. Seekers of the Dao fear the extinction of their Dao Path, and those who seek immortality fear the end of their era. As long as there is fear, it will affect everyone. It can be said to be ubiquitous.
In the past, countless Immortal Dao Daluo with weak wills were driven by Heart Devil during seclusion or periods of mental turmoil, causing their Dao hearts to crumble and their lives to end in obscurity.
Unless one's cultivation level far surpasses his, anyone who enters his dreams will be tormented by him relentlessly.
Did he really need to make a move on just a few prodigies?
He preferred to toy with the self-important and powerful rather than the weak.
The Lord of Nightmares snorted coldly, his demonic energy surging. However, the Devil Master now held considerable influence among the Devil Race, and with Devil Race Devil Race standing behind him, he could only obey orders.
"Let me see what these people are capable of."
The Lord of Nightmares sneered and activated his innate ability.
This is an ability comparable to the Divine Ability of the Great Dao, making it impossible to defend against.
His figure gradually blurred, transforming into countless invisible demonic thoughts that spread towards the Spirit Void Immortal Domain along the lines of cause and effect.
Before long, they tracked down Jiang Hao and Su Ming.
Having spent years traveling and gaining experience, the two had already accumulated a lot of karma, making them easily susceptible to mental intrusion.
Han Xuanji's cause and effect were not apparent. Although the Lord of Nightmares found it somewhat strange, he did not think too much about it and instead decided to deal with the two of them first.
Jiang Hao was meditating when suddenly a ripple stirred in his heart.
The next moment, the scene before his eyes changed drastically, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.
He saw his immortal bones forcibly dug out, his eyes stolen, and his cultivation completely lost; endless pain tormented his body and mind.
He saw himself being ridiculed by everyone, scorned by his Lineage, and despised by his friends...
At the same time, Su Ming also fell into an illusion.
Su Ming saw that the gates of the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace were shattered, and all his teachers and fellow disciples had died in battle. Only he survived, but he was surrounded by countless demonic shadows. No matter how he struggled, it was all in vain. He could not save anything, and a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him like a tide.
Just like back then, when his entire family was killed by the Devil Race, there was nothing he could do.
This is not a simple illusion, but a near-realistic Heart Devil woven by the Lord of Nightmares with his bizarre abilities, striking directly at their deepest fears and obsessions. In other words, if they die in the illusion, they will die in reality as well.
The two men's breathing became erratic instantly, their faces turned pale, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and the Dao aura around them flickered uncertainly, showing faint signs of Qi Deviation.
"Master, Jiang Hao and Su Ming are in trouble!"
Li Taiqing's urgent voice came from outside the quiet room, interrupting Han Xuanji's cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Han Xuanji immediately left the quiet room.
The group had already placed the unconscious Jiang Hao and the other person under the Dragon Blood Black-Yellow Tree.
The two men were deathly pale, trembling all over, and their Daoist auras were in complete disarray, clearly on the verge of Qi Deviation.
Little White and Little Gold were in a panic, while Li Taiqing and the others were at a complete loss.
Even the two Golden Immortal Realm were caught off guard, and they had no way to deal with it except to hope that Han Xuanji would intervene.
Han Xuanji's gaze sharpened, and the Dao patterns within his Double Pupils swirled, instantly revealing the Xuanji within.
"You wretched creature, how dare you!"
A divine thought, imbued with supreme majesty, resounded like thunder from the heavens, directly striking the nightmare demonic thoughts that were binding Jiang Hao and Su Ming!
This voice was not a simple rebuke; it contained the divine power of the Hunyuan Taiji Realm.
"Boom!"
In Jiang Hao and Su Ming's perception, the endless illusion of despair seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand.
A gentle yet incredibly powerful force, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, soothed their restless minds and dispelled all their unease.
Almost simultaneously, both of them jolted awake, panting heavily, their eyes still showing signs of shock.
The moment they saw Han Xuanji, the two instantly understood, and an indescribable sense of gratitude and lingering fear welled up in their hearts.
The two immediately understood what had happened and quickly bowed in respect.
"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Han, for saving me!"
If Han Xuanji hadn't arrived in time, they would probably have already Qi Deviation, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Han Xuanji ignored them and frowned.
How could they do something like this right under his nose?
This immediately filled Han Xuanji with both shock and anger.
If they can mess with Su Ming and Jiang Hao today, wouldn't they be targeting him tomorrow?
To be able to use such methods silently and without him even noticing requires some skill.
Over the years, the Devil Race have actually used various methods to investigate the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace Spirit Void Heavenly Palace, and some powerful individuals have even infiltrated it, but he easily detected them all and nipped the crisis in the bud.
This time, he was careless, or perhaps the Devil Race shouldn't be underestimated. Even if they reach the Hunyuan Realm, they shouldn't be careless.
Han Xuanji also became serious, and the Divine Pupils of Fate appeared.
Tracing back along the extremely subtle thread of cause and effect left behind when that nightmare's demonic thoughts dissipated.
This thread of cause and effect pierced through layers of spatial barriers, ignoring the obstacles of distance, and pointed directly to Realm of Nightmares hidden deep within the Devil Domain Realm, attached to a certain spiritual domain.
That was the hiding place of the Lord of Nightmares, almost unknown to anyone in the Immortal Realm. If someone were to accidentally wander in, they would become his food in the blink of an eye.
"Found you."
Han Xuanji's eyes narrowed, and he scoffed.
The Devil Race's Daluo Realm Hunyuan are not even at the Hunyuan level.
Han Xuanji continued his calculations. Anyone with a lower cultivation level than him, unless they possessed some kind of supreme treasure, could be easily predicted.
The Lord of Nightmares, a primordial being, was transformed into a Devil Race by the Devil Ancestor. At his peak, he was a powerful being at the Hunyuan level, but due to multiple falls, he has now fallen to the Daluo.
But this also proves how difficult this guy is to kill; every time you think you've completely killed him, he can still keep jumping around.
Han Xuanji soon discovered that this guy actually intended to harm him.
This scoundrel must not be allowed to live!
Han Xuanji glanced at the still-frightened Jiang Hao and Su Ming, and said calmly:
"The demonic calamity is about to begin. The Devil Race have many strange and unpredictable methods. When traveling, you must be more careful to guard your mind."
Remember, strength is the most important thing.
Han Xuanji then gave them a brief explanation, telling them not to worry and that this situation would not happen again.
However, he did not reveal the specific reason.
Back in his quiet room, Han Xuanji did not continue cultivating.
"Since that's the case... let me see just how hard you are to kill."
Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and he locked onto his target.
He did not use any other Divine Ability, but instead directly summoned his newly acquired treasure— the Return to Truth Dao-Extinguishing Seal!
A dark gold seal emerged from his palm.
The moment it appeared, it did not emit any earth-shattering energy fluctuations; instead, it exuded an extreme sense of killing and destruction.
Around the seal, the Principle concealed, and the Great Dao became blurred.
"Perfect timing to test the power of this seal."
Han Xuanji's tone was icy as he locked onto the Realm of Nightmares. Holding the Return to Truth Dao-Extinguishing Seal, he gently pressed it against the invisible thread of cause and effect from afar.
"Town!"
A single word uttered carries the weight of law.
The Realm of Nightmares.
The Lord of Nightmares, who was filled with shock and rage because his demonic thoughts had been destroyed, suddenly felt a kind of the Unseen fear.
Even he, the embodiment of fear, felt fear.
