I can find treasures in my dreams.

In the vast green sea.

Hundreds of powerful knights gathered together, watching from afar as a massive pillar of blood-red light shot into the high sky.

They were knights from various civilizations in the ancient sixty-two world groups.

When faced with a Level 3 catastrophe that threatens the world cluster, civilizations typically take unified action and respond in a unified manner.

Because a few knights from a single civilization might not be safe in the perilous primordial world, while hundreds banding together would deter many monsters from easily provoking them.

As the most powerful civilization in this world group, the Ice Soul Civilization naturally sent three knights to lead this operation.

The leading knight was named "Kartgar," and his strength had reached the level of a quasi-Venerable.

All the knights could clearly sense a terrifying power with an extremely strong corrosive effect on life, which was continuously emanating from the pillar of light in a distant location.

The changes that occurred to the surrounding towering green ivy plants revealed just how terrifying this power was.

The once jade-green leaves of the Tianluo plant have developed numerous black spots, and these spots are increasing at a visible rate.

Some of the leaves of the Tianluo tree had even turned half black, with the blackened parts turning into fragments that flew everywhere.

The bark of the thick branches also showed black spots of necrosis, and in addition, clumps of black hair-like strands grew on many parts of the bark.

Through mental power, one can sense that at the location where the black threads are growing, the life force of the Green Heavenly Vine is rapidly withering away.

"Crack! Crack!"

Explosions continued to ring out.

This is the cracking sound made when the bark of a tree is eroded to a certain extent.

The changes to the trunk of the Green Ivy tree are even more shocking.

In addition to black spots and black streaks, there are also a large number of black clumps resembling mold that keep emerging from the surface of the tree trunk.

Once the mold clumps appear, they will start to grow wildly, and soon their volume will expand to about five meters in diameter, followed by a large amount of black dust falling from them.

The green ivy did try to resist; some of the insects it "raised" crawled around on the bark, trying to clean the necrotic parts.

But the insect monster did not escape its fate.

Patches of black hair grew on their bodies, their movements became increasingly slow, and they made painful squeaking noises from their mouthparts. Before long, they fell from the tree bark into the swamp below.

Kartgar watched for a while, his brow furrowing inside his helmet, and called out, "Everyone, the power of death is showing signs of strengthening. I suspect there may be a death energy surge coming soon. Please take precautions in advance."

It must be said that this quasi-Venerable One's perception was exceptionally sharp.

The person immediately noticed the slight increase in the dissipated death energy.

After Kartga finished speaking, he quietly activated a secret technique.

A flash of cold light appeared, expanding into a cloud of cold mist, then turning into a thin layer of transparent ice crystals that enveloped his body.

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the ice crystals is naturally covered with countless mysterious patterns, and it also contains a powerful force.

This is clearly an extremely powerful secret technique.

The other knights immediately unleashed their respective abilities, preparing to face the potential onslaught of death energy.

Some knights were shrouded in black mist, completely obscuring their figures.

Some knights were covered with thick layers of rock, making them look like rock giants.

Some knights could move and disappear completely, leaving only a faint black mark in their place, like a hidden portal.

Yang Fan, in the guise of Mr. Ghost, was also among the many knights.

Instantly, flames erupted around him, transforming into a pair of brilliant fiery wings that gently folded over to protect him.

This scene was exceptionally eye-catching, and the level of fire-based supernatural power contained in the flames was extremely high, which any knight could sense, so he immediately became one of the focal points of the crowd.

Even Kartja turned his head and glanced at him several times, his pure white pupils flashing with a faint light.

The guy turned his head to look at the pillar of light again, a faint killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The killing intent wasn't directed at the pillar of light, but rather at the Azure Ghost who had offended the Ice Soul Civilization.

A few seconds later.

The distant crimson pillar of light suddenly rippled.

"Boom!"

All the knights heard a phantom thunderclap at the same time.

They also sensed that the operation of the superpowers was noticeably hampered.

Even from such a distance, this still happened, demonstrating just how terrifying the power of the beam of light was. Kaltgar's expression changed, and he decisively shouted, "Everyone, the impact is coming!"

The voice just fell.

Something happened.

The black fungus clusters, black threads, and black spots on the surface of all the surrounding green ivy suddenly increased several times in speed.

Just now, the largest black fungus group could only grow to a diameter of five meters, but now it has grown to ten meters in the blink of an eye.

Countless black threads grew to tens of meters long in the wind, and the black spots spread wildly.

This undoubtedly means that the rate of erosion has greatly accelerated.

The knights instantly sensed a strange power carrying intense malice invading the surface of their souls and penetrating their bodies.

This attack was actually a soul attack.

Several mid-level knights who were slightly weaker developed pinhead-sized black spots on their bodies in an instant.

This means they have been infected, their souls tainted by the power of death.

However, the vast majority of knights present were of a high level of strength and were able to withstand the onslaught of the power of death.

Kartga's gaze swept over the knights who had been hit, and he said without any politeness, "You guys should leave. Don't stay here and drag us down."

The knights who were called out quickly left, each looking ashamed.

Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He was quite certain that, given Kartga's strength, he had already foreseen that the impact of the death energy would directly affect the soul, but this guy deliberately concealed this crucial information.

In short, the leader sent by the Ice Soul Civilization had no good intentions.

soon.

Yang Fan's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "In about half a minute, the peak of the death energy impact will pass, and the energy level will drop."

A good ten seconds or so passed.

Kartga called out, "Gentlemen, the impact is almost over."

This person's perception was far behind the former's, a considerable gap.

Without a word, Yang Fan quietly placed a special anchor mark into this area of ​​airspace.

Kartga seemed to sense something and turned to look at it several times.

The impact of the energy was still ongoing, and the power of death surged like waves, but he couldn't quite sense it.

Kartga had a vague sense of crisis. He wanted to leave, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

He secretly regretted that he had just reprimanded several knights who had fallen victim to the attack. He had intended to demonstrate his authority, but instead, he had blocked his own escape route.

Another ten seconds passed.

The energy level of the death energy impact began to drop rapidly.

Kartga's bad premonition grew stronger.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided that survival was the priority, and shouted, "Everyone, the energy impact may continue, let's retreat..."

The words are not finished yet.

Kartga suddenly realized that the surrounding space had undergone an indescribable change, and everything was shrouded in a strange falseness.

He also vaguely sensed that the source of all the changes seemed to be the Azure Ghost.

Kartgart moved his lips, wanting to roar, "Azure Ghost, what have you done?"

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to shout it out.

The world quickly transformed into an Impressionist painting.

This area has fallen into a dreamlike realm.

Kartga then shouted it out, but some force blocked the transmission of the information.

Each word uttered caused ripples to spread across the pale gray surroundings, which then subsided as if the sound had been swallowed up.

Kartja was shocked, and his heart sank.

He was fully aware that he had unwittingly fallen into a trap secretly set by the Azure Ghost.

The methods used by the other party completely overturned his understanding. (End of Chapter)
