Chapter 146 - Chapter 146 Broken Dream

"Why?" Hei Mei's eyes narrowed, and she giggled, "To be honest, my husband, I actually come from Northern Plains. I am a member of the Black Family, a Golden Family of Northern Plains, and the Bloodline of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable flows within me. In fact..."Her cheeks flushed, and her body twisted like a water snake in Ni Ge's hands as he moved over her. Her voice was seductive, "As early as in Northern Plains, I and Big Brother Ni Ge... already knew each other.""You, you two were... Wah..." Guo Nan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling his vision darken in waves. Anger surged through his heart, and the poison took effect even faster."Hehe, actually, I, uh, I still like my husband a little bit. If you, my husband, if you give me your Water Ripple Immortal Gu, maybe I'll truly fall for you."Hei Mei's voice became increasingly vulgar, her eyes narrowed, and despite the seductive spring-like gaze, a venomous snake-like coldness emerged."It's a pity you're not willing, my husband. You kept saying you loved me... There's no other way, I can only get rid of you. Big Brother Ni Ge promised me that after you, mm-hmm-ah, after you die, he will help me take your Immortal Gu and Blessed Land for myself. So... Ow! Be gentle... So, my husband, for my sake, please hurry up and die!"Guo Nan closed his eyes, endless pain and anger gnawing at his heart like venomous snakes.Although he knew that the two of them were deliberately acting in such an indecent manner in front of him as a psychological attack, to make him lose his composure and deepen the poison's effect.He also knew he should remain calm, escape Hei Mei's Blessed Land first, and prioritize his life, but he—He couldn't stand it, damn it!"Even if my Divine Soul is completely destroyed today, I will make you two adulterers..."An extremely tragic and violent Aura surged wildly from Guo Nan's body, the heavens and earth roared, and Hei Mei's Blessed Land trembled violently under this terrifying destructive Aura, as if even this world could not bear Guo Nan's monstrous rage."...die without a burial place!""Immortal Killer Move—Water Nature Unleashed!"Invisible air vibrations spread throughout the entire Blessed Land. Immediately, the vast ocean, which occupied ninety percent of the Blessed Land's area, surged with furious waves, and turbid tides soared to the sky!Hei Mei's expression changed drastically. As the owner of this Blessed Land, her control over it had decreased by more than half at this moment!"Quick! Kill him! He's going to destroy my Blessed Land and unleash the Great Same Wind that will obliterate everything!"At the critical moment of life and death, Hei Mei no longer cared about acting seductive. She grabbed Ni Ge's arm, her voice sharp and panicked as she screamed."Let's attack together and finish him off!"Ni Ge bared his teeth, his pale fangs looking sinister. He quickly activated his Gu, forming an Immortal Killer Move—Five Stacks of Black Mud!In an instant, the vast seawater of the Blessed Land turned dark and turbid, and the waves became like mud and sand. Each time a giant wave surged, it would solidify into a layer.When the black mud and sand giant waves had stacked five layers, the entire world fell into an eerie silence."Ah! My Blessed Land!" Hei Mei shrieked, her voice hoarse. The violent collision of these two Immortal Killer Moves caused damage to her Blessed Land comparable to a natural disaster!The most terrifying thing was that Ni Ge's Immortal Killer Move had an extremely strong polluting effect on the Blessed Land. After just one use, her Blessed Land would be stained with a deep black color that would not fade for a long time.Even the resources produced in the Blessed Land would be dyed black, requiring generations of elimination to return to normal, often taking dozens or even scores of generations!Before that, the resources produced in her Blessed Land couldn't be sold at all; other Gu Immortals would despise them to death!"Stop talking nonsense!" Ni Ge impatiently pushed Hei Mei away, yelling, "As long as we kill Guo Nan and seize his Blessed Land, what's this small loss of yours! He's currently sealed by my Immortal Killer Move, this is a good opportunity, hurry up and act!"Hei Mei gritted her teeth fiercely, a venomous look flashing in her eyes, which she quickly hid. Then, she also activated a Killing Move and attacked Guo Nan.She had only achieved Immortal Ascension recently, had no Immortal Gu, and her foundation was poor, so she could only use mortal Killing Moves to attack.But then, with a loud bang, the five solidified black waves formed by the Five Stacks of Black Mud Killing Move exploded. Guo Nan's figure flew backward like a meteor, crashing heavily into the seawater in the distance that was unaffected by the Immortal Killer Move.However, at this moment, his heart, filled with rage, had been replaced by deep confusion."I, I am Guo Nan? No, I am Zhou Ming!"His thoughts quickly returned to normal, and he swiftly sorted out the cause and effect in his mind. Zhou Ming's gaze quickly regained clarity.'Dream! Damn it, this Guo Nan's luck is too good! He has an Immortal Gu, a Food Path Legacy, and even dream research results!'He had fully remembered that he was still in the fourth trial assessment of the Land Spirit's Gu Immortal Legacy.The content of the assessment was, surprisingly, to experience Guo Nan's past encounters in a dream.Before being pulled into the dream, Zhou Ming felt the familiar dream power and, at the last moment, used Lucid Dream Gu (Chapter 3 of this volume).Time in dreams and reality is not equivalent. While a good while had passed in the dream, only a very short time might have passed in reality, allowing the power of this Gu to begin to take effect, restoring his consciousness."How should I pass this assessment? Should I kill those two Gu Immortals, or escape to safety?"Zhou Ming didn't have time to think carefully, because Ni Ge's Killing Move fell again. He could only drag his poisoned body, struggling to avoid the Killing Move."Take out one first, then consider the rest!" Zhou Ming gritted his teeth, frantically activating his power, bypassing Ni Ge, wanting to first eliminate the relatively weaker Hei Mei.However, he soon realized he had overthought things.Zhou Ming was only a Gu Master, not familiar with the power of a Gu Immortal, let alone a Water Path Gu Immortal. He couldn't even unleash half the strength of this body.Not to mention, he was currently in a state of severe poisoning, while the opposing Ni Ge was considered a formidable enemy even when Guo Nan was at his peak.With his strength diminished and the opponent's strength intact, how could he fight them?In just a few dozen breaths, Zhou Ming couldn't even bypass Ni Ge and get in front of Hei Mei before he was completely blown apart by one of Ni Ge's incredibly fierce attacks."Damn it!" Zhou Ming only had time to curse angrily. The next moment, his vision went black, and everything disappeared."Failed? Impossible, this assessment is too difficult. Even a Gu Immortal would struggle to pass it."Being deceived in the dream and unprepared for Hei Mei, once he drank that poisoned wine, even if he woke up in time and had strong combat awareness, fighting two enemies while severely weakened, the chance of victory was almost negligible.Just then, his vision brightened, and the surroundings changed dramatically.Zhou Ming was astonished to find that he was still in the pavilion and high platform, with red candles and silken curtains. In front of him was still the boundless sea and sky, shimmering with light.As he stood there, bewildered, soft jade-like warmth pressed against his back."Why is my husband so silent? Is he worried about the duel with Ni Ge?"A familiar voice sounded behind him, gentle with a hint of seduction.'It's a loop!' Zhou Ming suddenly realized.'So that's it. Dying in the dream will loop back to the beginning, until I break out of the dream, or my Soul foundation is exhausted and I die.''No wonder this Water Ripple Blessed Land has never been inherited until now. I'm afraid everyone who managed to reach this stage died in the dream!'Zhou Ming sneered inwardly, turned around, and suddenly embraced Hei Mei.His consciousness projected into his Immortal Aperture, and he immediately saw a vast ocean, interspersed with numerous small islands, collectively forming this independent world, spanning a colossal seven million mu.'Seven million mu, this is a top-grade Blessed Land. If I unleash the Great Same Wind, it should be enough to destroy Hei Mei and Ni Ge along with it.'The Great Same Wind is generated when a Gu Immortal's Blessed Land dissipates. It completely annihilates the Gu Immortal's Blessed Land, sweeping away and destroying everything, merging with heaven and earth.The Great Same Wind's power is vast and terrifying. A Rank Seven Gu Immortal caught in it can only resist for a moment before ultimately turning to dust.The larger a Gu Immortal's Blessed Land and the deeper its foundation, the greater the Great Same Wind generated upon its destruction. And since this was currently within Hei Mei's Immortal Aperture, once the Great Same Wind blew, at the very least, Hei Mei would definitely not escape.This was Zhou Ming's last resort. He didn't know Guo Nan's Immortal Killer Moves, hadn't even figured out the specific effects of the Water Ripple Immortal Gu, couldn't exert his full strength, and had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation."Let the Immortal Aperture be destroyed."Following Zhou Ming's mental command, his Immortal Aperture suddenly began to disintegrate, then collapsed inward. In an instant, fierce winds howled, seawater poured into the Immortal Aperture, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in, and everything was in destruction.The collapsing Immortal Aperture instantly became riddled with holes. The invisible Great Same Wind roared out, and light began to emanate from Zhou Ming's body, which instantly became decayed and filled with destructive Aura. The Great Same Wind spread in an instant.Hei Mei's face immediately changed drastically. Just as she was about to struggle, she was already affected by the Great Same Wind."No!" Hei Mei only had time to let out an unwilling shriek before being engulfed by the Great Same Wind.A black figure flew out from the pavilion, his face grim as he looked back. His expression immediately turned to horror as he saw the pavilion had been silently swallowed by the Great Same Wind, which then spread outwards at an unbelievable speed, causing Hei Mei's Blessed Land to begin its self-destruction."Damn it, I must leave here immediately!" Ni Ge was both shocked and enraged. He was about to activate an Immortal Killer Move to tear open the space of Hei Mei's Blessed Land and escape to the outside.However, the speed at which the Great Same Wind spread far exceeded his estimation. Just as he was about to act, the Great Strength True Meaning Wind had instantly covered the entire Blessed Land. The scene of heaven and earth collapsing, and all things withering and being destroyed, played out once again in this Blessed Land."No! How could the Great Same Wind blow so fast! No—"Ni Ge's mournful and unwilling voice echoed in the destroying world, and then even his voice was drowned by the Great Same Wind. Subsequently, nothing remained... Swish! Zhou Ming suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the chair.Across from her, Water Ripple Land Spirit stared at her with a pair of round, dark eyes, fixated on her.Zhou Ming first checked herself, confirming that she had left the dream, and only then did she relax.She looked around and saw that Cai Zhiyin and Qiu Hongyan were still in the dream. Both had tightly furrowed brows, sometimes sad, sometimes furious, sometimes terrified, and were covered in sweat, as if trapped in a nightmare, unable to break free. Their complexions visibly darkened at a rapid pace.Zhou Ming examined herself and found that her Soul foundation had also suffered some loss, knowing it was consumed by dying in the dream.Like Cai Zhiyin and Hongyan, who remain unable to wake up in the dream, each death consumes a portion of their Soul foundation, and they will soon exhaust their Souls and die.
