Martial Arts Immortal.

Chapter 784 The Heart of Nightmare Appears
……

The dark void was filled with terrifying qi and blood energy.

A huge blood-red shadow stood tall in the void, guarding the entrance to the cave.

Lin Zheyu's perception was pushed to the limit, and all of his clones activated their martial arts eyes, always alert to changes in the outside world.

He never underestimates the strong in the world.

Lin Zheyu knew his shortcomings. He was born in an ordinary family, had seen relatively few secret techniques and magical powers, and had mastered limited skills and secret techniques. These were his biggest shortcomings.

therefore,

Even though he had the advantage of time and location and guarded the entrance to the cave, Lin Zheyu did not let down his guard at all.

Just as he was carefully watching Sang Long's movements outside the entrance.

A strange invisible shadow passed through the entrance of the cave silently.

This phantom was extremely strange, as if it did not exist in the current time and space, had no shape, and had never existed.

The shadow passed silently, and Lin Zheyu laid down layer after layer of blood-colored forbidden nets with martial arts divine patterns...

"Um……"

"Something's wrong!"

Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned, and noticed something unusual.

Although he could not see the invisible long worm condensed by Sang Long's secret technique.

But the void outside the entrance was covered with layers of powerful nets laid by Lin Zheyu.

As the invisible shadow passed through the layers of blood-colored nets, it disturbed the rich blood energy that permeated the void.

"Something's wrong. What's wrong?!"

All of Lin Zheyu's clones pushed their martial arts eyes to the extreme, searching layer by layer for the source of that strange feeling.

However, no matter how he searched, he could only sense a faint fluctuation coming from the entrance and approaching him rapidly.

at this time.

Lin Zheyu's real body, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Wall of Destiny, suddenly stood up and moved towards this side.

His eyes narrowed, and a faint golden light flowed in his red pupils.

"what is this?"

Under the spiritual eye of his body, Lin Zheyu finally saw the invisible shadow of the long worm.

"Whatever it is, it dared to try to sneak in under my nose!"

"Ha! Explode for me!"

A fierce look flashed in Lin Zheyu's eyes, and the bloody shadow stationed at the entrance of the cave suddenly swung his fist and punched out.

"not good!"

"Discovered!"

The strange long worm condensed by Sang Long had a gleam of brilliance in its eyes, and circles of strange Taoist ripples suddenly spread from its body.

The body, which was already invisible and intangible, became even more ethereal and strange.

however……

Boom! ! !

A huge blood-red fist broke through the air and slammed into the long insect phantom condensed by Sang Long.

A hint of unwillingness and helplessness flashed across the eyes of the long insect shadow.

The moment the bloody fist smashed down, it exploded along with the nearby void.

"Dead?"

Lin Zheyu's real body flashed, and he slowly walked over from the Wall of Destiny.

He pushed his spiritual eye to the extreme, searching the nearby void over and over again, not missing any abnormalities.

"Sure enough, we should not underestimate these geniuses with deep backgrounds. They can always display secret magical powers that make people admire them."

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but sigh.

After a careful search and making sure there were no problems, he moved slightly and came to the Wall of Destiny again.

……

Outside the cave entrance.

Sang Long's expression suddenly changed, and the purple eyes behind him twisted and then popped.

At the same time, his slightly illusory figure solidified a bit, revealing a humanoid creature with ferocious horns on its head, a pitch-black snake tail behind it, and a strange purple fluorescent light flowing on its body.

This is the unique life form of the Nightmare Clan.

Under normal circumstances, the creatures of the Nightmare Clan are shrouded in grey mist, their figures are vague and their specific appearance cannot be seen clearly.

But if it is severely damaged, it will break away from that special state and reveal its clear true form.

“I actually found it!”

An incredible look appeared on Sang Long's face.

He was breathing slightly.

Obviously, the invisible shadow that had just condensed caused considerable damage to him after being blasted by Lin Zheyu.

"Discovered?"

Mist surged around Sang Long, and Xingtong's body condensed out strangely.

She looked solemnly in the direction of the cave entrance and asked with a serious expression.

Although Xing Tong failed to master the Secret Art of the Phantom Nightmare, she even knew how powerful this secret art was.

This is not as simple as a life-saving or escaping skill.

Like the strange purple worm that Sang Long just condensed, it is the most powerful secret detection technique.

A strong person who masters this secret technique can condense a special phantom nightmare worm clone.

This phantom nightmare worm clone is even more bizarre and powerful than the phantom nightmare worm itself.

Even a strong person who is one level stronger than himself may not be able to discover the existence of the phantom nightmare worm clone.

"Discovered."

Sang Long exhaled lightly, and energy surged in his body, enveloping his form, and his body became a little blurry again.

This is a state unique to their Nightmare Clan. In this vague state, their perception, state, and strength can all be greatly enhanced.

"Did you find anything?"

Xingtong frowned slightly, looking very solemn.

The time was too short. I didn’t expect Sang Long to fail so quickly.

When Xingtong saw Sang Long perform the "Secret Art of Phantom Nightmare" just now, she felt a little relieved.

Although the Phantom Nightmare Bug clone has no combat power, its effect is extremely powerful.

Know yourself and know your enemy.

With the help of Sang Long's condensed phantom nightmare clone, breaking the trap at the entrance of the cave will be much more certain.

However, what Xingtong did not expect was that the phantom nightmare worm clone condensed by Sang Long was discovered not long after it entered.

This was totally unexpected for her.

This shows that the other party's perception is incredibly powerful, enough to rival that of a Heavenly Venerate Realm powerhouse.

No, the perception of a strong person in the realm of Heavenly Venerate is not necessarily as strong as that of the other party.

"..."

Sang Long shook his head slightly, his expression also looking a little ugly.

After a few breaths, he slowly said, "It was too fast. I was discovered right after I entered, and then I was killed by the might of thunder."

"The opponent's strength is very strong, comparable to the Heavenly Venerable level. Even if I go in, I'm afraid I won't be able to get away with it."

"My phantom nightmare worm clone can't even struggle or escape." Sang Long shook his head slightly and frowned solemnly.

"Can you tell which race this strong man is from?" Xing Tong continued to ask, "Could it be the geniuses from the ancestral temple?"

"Human Race!"

"The one lying in ambush on the other side is a martial arts expert from the human race. As for whether he is a genius from the ancestral temple, I have no idea."

Sang Long said.

His phantom nightmare clone was discovered as soon as it sneaked in, and didn't have time to detect much.

"Human race?"

"Musha?"

Xingtong looked surprised.

She could never have imagined that the person who entered the cave before them would be a warrior.

At the same time, she was also a little confused as to how the human race had managed to hold out in there for so long.

The concentration of nightmare power in the abyss here is already extremely shocking, and the concentration of nightmare power in the cave is far beyond the abyss outside.

Even if a genius among the human race could withstand the erosion of such a concentrated nightmare force, they would not be able to persist for so long.

Not to mention, there was also the body of their nightmare clan's predecessor inside. Around the corpse of the predecessor, there was a terrifying nightmare source of power. If a strong man from other clans went in, he would probably be corroded in an instant and fall into a nightmare silently.

"A human warrior with the blood of the Nightmare Clan?"

"Or has he mastered some special and powerful magic weapon?" Xing Tong thought of many things in an instant.

"Yes, warrior."

"It's not clear how many there are, but they used a combined attack formation, and their strength is comparable to that of the Heavenly Venerable Realm."

"but……"

"How do you say that formation..."

"That formation gives me the feeling that it is of average quality, not very advanced."

“However, the power is extremely terrifying. It is estimated that the cultivators who formed the formation are extremely powerful.”

Sang Long pondered for a moment and continued, "I guess they are not geniuses from the ancestral temple."

"If that's the case, he shouldn't be a genius from the ancestral temple." Xing Tong also agreed with Sang Long's view.

For a terrifying force like the Zuting, any martial arts technique they use is extremely extraordinary.

It is impossible that it is so inferior that Sang Long can easily detect the quality of the technique.

"Musha……"

"When did such a powerful genius appear among the warriors of the human race?" Xing Tong frowned slightly, and information about many human martial arts geniuses flashed through her mind.

Among the many cultivation systems of the human race, the martial arts system is extremely powerful and was once extremely glorious.

However, in this era, martial arts have declined, and the strongest system now is the immortal system.

Xing Tong recalled all the human martial arts geniuses she knew, but she still couldn't guess which genius was in the cave.

The martial arts geniuses she knew probably didn't have such ability.

"Maybe they are not pure humans, but humans with my bloodline."

"Perhaps, he is a genius cultivated by a branch of my race that intermarried with humans."

Sang Long thought for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, Xingtong nodded slightly, it was indeed possible.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how the other party could persist for so long in the cave where the power of nightmare was so strong.

Ordinary powerful people in the Spiritual Transformation Realm simply cannot do this.

Maybe there are other powerful Nightmare Clan members inside, and those human warriors are just guarding the gate.

"Which branch is it?"

Xingtong pondered.

The Nightmare Clan is now like a pile of loose sand, scattered all over the Xuanhai area, lurking in the dark.

Some of them still retain the pure bloodline of the Nightmare Clan, such as her, Sang Long, Tian Ning, etc.

Some of them combined with other races and joined other races.

"Bruteforcing won't work."

"I'm going to contact other powerful members of the Nightmare Clan. You continue to make preparations here."

Sang Long thought for a moment and said.

After just two attempts, he clearly realized the gap in strength between the two sides.

If they were to face off head-on, it would be hard to tell who would win.

Sang Long is still extremely confident in his own power.

But it would be very difficult if the enemy has the advantage of time and place and guards the entrance to the cave.

……

"Have you retreated?"

Sensing the movement outside the cave, Lin Zheyu's eyes moved slightly, but he did not let down his guard.

Those powerful people in the nightmare will obviously not give up this place.

But, so what!
As long as those powerful Nightmare Clan members dare to come in, Lin Zheyu doesn't mind keeping them all here.

Lin Zheyu smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

What he was worried about before was that those powerful members of the Nightmare Clan would be able to stimulate the terrifying existence in the cave.

For this reason, Lin Zheyu was so nervous when he saw the invisible shadow lurking in quietly.

However, it seems that those powerful members of the Nightmare Clan have no way to stimulate or even borrow the power of that terrifying existence from such a long distance.

In this case, Lin Zheyu has nothing to fear.

I waited for a long time again.

After making sure that the powerful men in the nightmare had temporarily retreated, Lin Zheyu's mind moved slightly, and the clone stationed at the entrance fell silent again.

At the same time, thousands of clones walked out of his body and headed towards the entrance.

After re-strengthening the defense at the entrance, Lin Zheyu immersed himself in the contemplation of the Wall of Destiny again.

Cultivation takes no time.

Especially when comprehending the incredible supreme scriptures on the wall of destiny, one can no longer feel the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

A dozen years is nothing to a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. It is just a short period of seclusion.

For behemoths like the Sky-Splitting Beast, it would just be a nap.

Ever since Sang Long failed in his attempt more than ten years ago and realized the strength of the opponent.

They never took action again.

After Sang Long left, he never came back, but from time to time strong men from the Nightmare Clan came from other places.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and the number of powerful Nightmare Clan members gathered here has reached eleven.

After those powerful Nightmare Clan members come here, they will, under the organization of Xingtong, help complete their unfinished opportunities.

Lin Zheyu could feel that Xingtong was preparing a big one.

Even though he was hiding in the cave, Lin Zheyu could vaguely sense the terrifying aura permeating outside the cave.

However, he didn't care.

Until the battlefield of all races opened, Lin Zheyu had no intention of leaving this nightmare city.

The supreme scripture engraved on the wall of destiny is truly too incredible.

It contains extremely mysterious

If possible, Lin Zheyu even wanted to stay in seclusion here for tens of thousands of years to comprehend the supreme scriptures on the wall of destiny.

Unfortunately, no.

The opening hours of Era Sunset are limited.

Although I don’t know how much the speed of time flowing in this Nightmare City wonder is different from that in the outside world.

But definitely not too much.

Therefore, Lin Zheyu tried his best to seize the time and comprehend as many mysteries of the great Dao as possible from the Wall of Destiny.

"Ok?"

Lin Zheyu, who was immersed in the wall of destiny, suddenly changed his expression and came back to his senses.

He flipped his right hand and a silver ball appeared in his hand.

On the sphere, a faint silver light was flowing, and the light gradually became brighter, as if it had turned into a bright full moon.

"The time has come, the Nightmare Heart is about to appear, fellow Taoist, please follow my instructions!"

A faint voice came from the silver sphere.

"The Heart of Nightmare is finally going to appear?"

Lin Zheyu was surprised.

How long has it been? All in all, from the time when the mysterious strong man named Yue Hen contacted him to now, it has been about seventy years.

So many years have passed, and if the silver ball that Yue Hen gave him had not suddenly moved, Lin Zheyu would have almost forgotten about this incident.

"The Nightmare Heart is about to appear. Will they leave?"

Lin Zheyu looked towards the direction of the cave entrance, a hint of curiosity emerging in his heart.

Then he smiled suddenly and shook his head slightly.

Whether the powerful Nightmare Clan members outside will leave or not, it will not have any impact on him.

Anyway, Lin Zheyu has no intention of leaving.

He was also confident that he could keep the powerful Nightmare Clan members outside and prevent them from coming in to disturb him.

"I hope that I can outline at least one complete Dao pattern before the battle of all races begins!"

Lin Zheyu exhaled lightly, put away the silver sphere, and immersed himself in the understanding of the Wall of Destiny again.
