Chapter 772 Discovery
……

The Nightmare City is called a city, but it doesn’t look like a city.

There are no buildings on the desolate land. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a desolate Gobi Desert.

Only the occasional broken tiles show that there were once buildings here.

Obviously, the Nightmare City in this wonder is the Nightmare City after the Nightmare Clan was destroyed.

Lin Zheyu wandered on the dim earth, a thin mist enveloped the entire void, omnipresent.

This fog is a special kind of energy, different from that strange nightmare power.

This is an alternative energy formed by the fusion of nightmare power and another special energy.

This kind of energy is not as strange as the power of nightmare. It will not corrode the souls and spirits of the cultivators and drag them into the nightmare world.

The greatest function of the fog is that it acts like a barrier, isolating the extension of the monk's perception.

Lin Zheyu's powerful perception is greatly reduced here.

Otherwise, the mysterious moon mark from before would not have been able to hide from his powerful spiritual eye.

"This place is too desolate..."

Lin Zheyu wandered in the fog, and all he saw was a dead silent world.

He had no clue about the opportunity he was looking for.

"Do you want to explore a place with strong nightmare power?"

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Among the wonders in the setting sun of the era, the more powerful the opportunity, the more terrifying the danger it often contains.

All the monks who are able to enter the ruins of Nightmare City are geniuses from various races.

It is impossible that the Heart of Nightmare is the only opportunity here.

"It's probably hard to get much out of the periphery. Let's try exploring the area where the nightmare power is more concentrated..."

Lin Zheyu made a decision.

As long as he doesn't take action, his own resistance to the power of nightmare is still very strong.

The power of nightmare is extremely strange and can silently erode the soul and true spirit of the cultivator.

In this regard, Lin Zheyu has a huge advantage.

As long as you hide your true spirit deep inside your body, you will not be easily eroded by the power of nightmare.

However, doing so can only greatly delay the process.

Otherwise, he would not have captured the seventeen strong men who fell asleep and had to leave.

Even if it is hidden deep inside the body.

The power of nightmare can also intrude in a very strange and silent way.

……

In the dim sky and earth, a thin mist flows slowly.

Scattered figures stood in the mist, motionless, like lifelike statues.

But if you look closer, you will find that the faces of these motionless figures are filled with complex and rich emotions.

Here is the entrance to this nightmare city wonder.

All those who enter this wonder from other wonders will step into this area.

Lin Zheyu originally walked out from here.

The nightmare power in this area is so dense that even Lin Zheyu doesn't dare to fight recklessly here.

Among these statue-like figures, a burly figure slowly walked towards them from a distance.

Lin Zheyu walked out of the surging fog and entered the area again.

He glanced around, seeing the motionless figures like statues, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

But soon, he suppressed it again.

Although I really want to grab these guys and deal with them as before, now is not a good time.

The moment the action is taken, the erosion of the nightmare power will intensify.

At that time, Lin Zheyu will be forced to leave this area early.

You need to go to a place where the power of nightmare is weak and take a break before you can come back.

"Go explore deeper and if you still find nothing, come back and take these guys away one by one."

Lin Zheyu turned his eyes away from the motionless figures.

As long as the setting sun of the era has not ended, there will be a steady stream of powerful people entering this nightmare city.

He didn't have to worry at all. If he acted too late, these guys would run away.

After one batch runs away, a new batch will grow up.

Of course, after one crop is harvested, a new crop will grow.

However, compared with the opportunities contained in the wonders of Nightmare City, these crops of "leeks" can be put aside for the time being.

……

Calm your mind and concentrate, restrain the energy fluctuations in your body, and minimize the erosion of the nightmare power on yourself.

Then, Lin Zheyu slowly walked towards the depths.

The stronger the nightmare power is in an area, the more concentrated the fog in the void will be.

Looking up, you can see dark fog surging in the void in the distance.

The concentration of nightmare power inside is so strong that it is terrifying.

Lin Zheyu moved forward slowly, passing by a series of motionless figures trapped in a nightmare world.

Some of these strong men had just been teleported from another wonder, while others had been here for a long time but had not been able to successfully break free from the nightmare.

If these strong men are unable to break free after the end of the era's setting sun, they will remain here forever.

Lin Zheyu continued to go deeper, and the concentration of nightmare power in the void increased at an alarming rate.

But he could still hold on.

“Finally, I saw a relatively complete building.”

Lin Zheyu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, where there was a dilapidated house.

Although the house was dilapidated, it was not like the outside, with only broken tiles left, and it was almost unrecognizable as the remains of some kind of building.

The dilapidated house here still retains a relatively complete outline.

The style of the house is very unique, with a sense of fantasy and a bit of weirdness.

Lin Zheyu walked in and searched, but found nothing useful.

Walking out of the house, he continued to go deeper.

The road ahead seems endless.

Although the monks who enter this wonder will inexplicably appear in the previous area.

But if you go deeper, you won’t enter any other wonders.

Lin Zheyu believes that the area one steps into when entering this wonder should be a buffer zone.

It is the buffer zone between the inner and outer cities of Nightmare City.

Going outside is the outer city, and going deeper inside is the inner city.

All the strong people who enter the Nightmare City will rush to the outer city first.

They need to refine the nightmare power in their bodies first and eliminate the hidden dangers of the nightmare power.

Only then can you re-enter the depths of Nightmare City to explore and look for opportunities.

……

Time passes slowly...

As we go deeper, more and more complete buildings appear.

There are even buildings that look a little old but are not damaged at all.

Lin Zheyu went in to explore, but unfortunately still found nothing.

The entire Nightmare City was completely emptied, with nothing left.

Another day passed.

Although he did not take any action, Lin Zheyu still felt the nightmare power eroding him more and more.

However, he also discovered that while the power of nightmare was eroding his body, his body was also adapting to the erosion of the power of nightmare.

His own resistance to the power of nightmares is also slowly increasing.

The longer he stayed here, the higher his resistance to the power of nightmare became.

Another half day passed...

"I can't hold on any longer..."

Lin Zheyu let out a light breath and stopped going deeper.

If he went deeper, he would not be able to get out of this area filled with terrifying nightmare power.

Lin Zheyu moved slightly and shot out.

Halfway through, his expression changed slightly, and he looked in a direction not far away. Although blocked by the thick gray fog, he could still sense that there was a hidden breath moving there.

It is estimated that he is a strong man who has entered the depths of Nightmare City to explore.

Lin Zheyu did not take the initiative to step forward and greet him, but continued to rush outside.

Only when he completely left that area did he breathe a sigh of relief. The erosion of the nightmare power almost reached its limit.

Lin Zheyu found an area where the power of nightmare was thin, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the strange energy that was eroding his body.

Two days later.

After refining the nightmare power that had eroded into his body, he moved slightly and explored the Nightmare City once again.

Time passes slowly.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

Lin Zheyu's adaptation to the power of nightmare is improving at an astonishing rate.

From the original time of only being able to go deep for about a day and a half, it was increased to two days, three days... five days... ten days...

Unfortunately, Lin Zheyu still couldn't find anything valuable in the depths of Nightmare City.

whoosh-

A burly figure rushed out from the depths of Nightmare City.

Lin Zheyu walked out again with nothing.

Looking at the new batch of leeks around him, he had the urge to give up after not getting any harvest for such a long time and just harvest one batch of leeks here.

But after thinking about it, I gave up this plan.

Although skills and magic weapons are good, it is enough if they are sufficient.

From the previous wonder, he comprehended the peerless martial arts skill "The Invincible Body" of the martial arts overlord of the seventh era.

Lin Zheyu no longer looks down on those ordinary martial arts.

It is impossible to obtain secret techniques of this level from other cultivators.

No amount of Chaos Crystals can purchase this level of martial arts techniques.

Therefore, no matter how many magic weapons he obtained, they would not be of much use to Lin Zheyu.

Leaving the area where the nightmare power was extremely strong.

It took Lin Zheyu nearly half a month of recuperation before he completely eliminated the nightmare power that had invaded his body.

His own resistance to the erosion of nightmare power increased, but as more nightmare power accumulated in his body, the erosion time also increased accordingly.

whoosh-

After clearing the nightmare power from his body, Lin Zheyu stood up, moved slightly, and continued to rush towards the depths of the Nightmare City.

Follow the previous path and come to the place where you stopped before.

Lin Zheyu continued to explore deeper along the original direction.

"The power of nightmare has become more and more pure..."

As he went deeper, Lin Zheyu discovered that the nightmare power that permeated the void became increasingly purer.

Feeling the subtle changes as the pure nightmare power eroded into his body, a strange look appeared in Lin Zheyu's eyes.

Chance???

"This nightmare power is the greatest opportunity!"

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but sigh.

He searched everywhere for opportunities in the Nightmare City, and finally discovered that the power of Nightmare was the greatest opportunity.

While the power of nightmare is eroding into the body, it is also slowly affecting and optimizing the cultivator's body, soul, and true spirit.

Every time I leave from the depths of Nightmare City, I go outside to refine the nightmare power that has eroded my body.

Lin Zheyu felt as if his body and mind had been cleansed.

The purer the nightmare power, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

With a slight sigh, Lin Zheyu continued to move forward.

On the way, he discovered traces of other cultivators, but Lin Zheyu did not step forward to greet them as usual.

Even actively avoid it.

More than a year later——

The silver ball given by Yuehen still did not move.

But Lin Zheyu is not in a hurry.

He knew that Yuehen was giving him time to adapt to the nightmare power in Nightmare City.

As soon as you enter the Nightmare City Wonder, you have such amazing resistance. Then, as long as you stay there long enough, this resistance will become more amazing.

However, every living being has a limit to its resistance to the power of nightmare.

Even if you stay there for a long time, you will not be able to improve further after reaching your own limit.

Lin Zheyu was not clear about this.

Anyway, he hasn't felt his own limits yet.

As time goes by, his resistance to the power of nightmare is increasing at an alarming rate.

……

Da da da--

The sound of light footsteps came through the mist.

Lin Zheyu slowly walked out of the fog and strolled on the bluestone paved road. On both sides of the road were buildings of peculiar styles.

This was once the living area of ​​the Nightmare Clan.

Lin Zheyu has seen two such living areas.

He checked each room one by one.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, when he finally got nothing, Lin Zheyu still revealed a speechless bitter smile.

Leaving that living area, we walked some distance forward.

Wow~~~~
Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing water in the distance. This sound seemed so abrupt in the silent world.

It was like a blinding light that suddenly broke through the darkness.

The sound of flowing water broke the silence of the world.

“Maybe, we can have different gains this time!”

Lin Zheyu smiled slightly and rushed towards the direction where the sound of flowing water came from.

Although, the increasingly refined nightmare power brought him considerable benefits.

But Lin Zheyu still felt a little unwilling.

He has gone deep into the Nightmare City, but so far, he has still gained nothing.

Following the direction from which the sound came, Lin Zheyu soon arrived at the source of the sound.

It was a long river, a long gray river.

The long river rushes and rolls away.

Lin Zheyu explored along the direction of the river. After advancing for thousands of miles, a dark abyss appeared in front of him.

The long river poured down from the abyss, turning into a magnificent gray waterfall.

"Would you like to go down and take a look?"

Lin Zheyu stood at the edge of the abyss, looking at the black abyss below that seemed like a bottomless pit, and an idea flashed through his mind.

soon.

A clone walked out of his body, swayed slightly, and rushed into the abyss.

This clone was a new clone that Lin Zheyu specially condensed not long ago, and it also possesses strong resistance to the power of nightmare.

however.

After the clone entered the abyss, he sensed the astonishing power of nightmare.

In less than an hour, Lin Zheyu felt that his clone's mind began to become confused and was about to fall asleep.

Boom!

Without hesitation, he blew himself up before his clone fell into the nightmare.

If the clone were to fall into the abyss and get trapped in a nightmare, he would probably never wake up again.

The clone is closely related to oneself, and if it falls into the hands of other strong people, problems will easily arise.

Therefore, Lin Zheyu let it explode without any sadness.

"No, with my current resistance to nightmare power, I can't withstand the nightmare power here."

Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly, then turned around and left decisively.

He marked this area, intending to come back here to explore once his resistance to the nightmare power was strong enough to withstand the erosion of the nightmare power in the abyss.

Lin Zheyu had a hunch that there might be huge gains in this mysterious abyss.
