I can find treasures in my dreams.

As time went by, the venerable Akaga of the Tianchuan civilization felt increasingly uneasy.

He gazed at the thick, blood-red clouds, which resembled a curtain of blood, and for a moment, he had the illusion that what lay ahead was a bottomless abyss.

"Gudu~"

I vaguely heard a strange sound, like the sound of intestines moving.

"Boom!"

A faint heartbeat could still be heard, but it was much quieter than the pulsating sound.

This moment.

Akaga sensed that the blood cloud and blood sea seemed to have come alive, as if they wanted to devour everything here.

He blinked, and all the strange phenomena disappeared, as if it had just been a hallucination.

Akaga was greatly alarmed.

Because he understood that this was not an illusion at all, but a mysterious revelation given by the Mind Source Palace.

Upon ascending from Knight to Venerable, the Sea of ​​the Mind will undergo an unprecedented transformation, becoming an even more solid "Palace of the Mind".

In addition to becoming more sensitive, the Mind Source Palace also comes with a variety of incredible and miraculous effects.

Because each Venerable One masters different laws, the effects of the Mind Source Palace also differ, which is usually a secret of the Venerable Ones.

Akaga's Mind Source Palace happens to have a very strong ability to foresee danger, which is why he dared to boldly venture into the depths of the Blood Sea.

At this moment, however, he had a very bad feeling. It seemed that the precognitive ability of the Mind Source Palace was being suppressed by some kind of high-level power.

This makes it seem like the warning came too late, and a deadly danger could erupt at any moment.

Akaga didn't hesitate any longer and decisively took out a transparent crystal that looked just like a diamond.

Upon closer inspection, this "diamond" has dozens of facets, each of which seems to occasionally flash with a blurry image.

This is a precious treasure crafted by the Tianchuan civilization—the Dream Shuttle Stone.

Its only function is to forcibly escape the dream world.

Despite its simple function, this item is a life-saving artifact for exploring dreamlike realms. Its crafting process uses various level-five exotic materials, making it extremely valuable.

The Dream Shuttle Stone can only transport one person at a time, which is why Akaga managed to get his subordinates away.

"Boom!"

A faint, ethereal sound was heard.

The Dream Travel Stone released a hazy halo, instantly turning a ten-meter radius around Akaga into a mirror.

The sky full of blood clouds and the boundless sea of ​​blood suddenly became the reflection in the mirror.

This is a sign that we are about to leave the dream world.

Akaga breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Luckily, I reacted quickly enough."

however.

Only three seconds had passed.

Akaga's smile froze.

Under normal circumstances, once the mirror appears, the image displayed within it will gradually fade away, and the dream gate of the Tianchuan civilization will slowly emerge.

But now he could clearly sense that some invisible resistance was preventing the dream gate from appearing.

Not only that, the mirror surface trembled slightly, as if it were about to shatter.

After blinking.

"Crack!"

A tiny crack appeared, and the mirror actually shattered.

Akaga turned pale instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

How can this be? !
He immediately thought of a possibility—the power of the Dream Travel Stone had interfered with the power of some higher-level law, and the former was naturally crushed, hence the mirror shattered.

The source of higher-level laws must be a more powerful demigod or an even more terrifying ancient god.

Akaga recalled the rumors that "each primordial perilous land has a corresponding 'inner world'" and the recent frequent natural disasters in various perils, and was more inclined to believe that the answer was the Old Gods.

He activated the triangular crystal cone at top speed and shot off back the way he came.

This time, he did not conserve the power of the crystal cone at all, and made more than thirty short leaps over a distance of 15 kilometers each.

Logically speaking, the total distance traveled by the leap has exceeded 500 kilometers, which should be enough to leave the core area of ​​the Blood Sea.

But before them remained an extremely dense cloud of blood, with worms vaguely visible wriggling in the distance. "Gurgle~"

The sound of intestines digesting rang in his ears again, faintly revealing a sense of hunger and thirst.

Akaga's heart sank deeply.

He finally realized that this sea of ​​blood in the dream world had most likely been transformed into the inner world.

The laws governing this place have also undergone subtle changes. If one cannot discern these changes, there is absolutely no way to escape.

the other side.

Inside the eternal Trojan horse.

Akaga couldn't understand why, despite leaping so many times, he could never escape the dense blood cloud, but Yang Fan and Zhao Xiaoying could see it clearly.

Using the unique perspective of the Eternal Attribute, one can observe a strange energy flow surging within the blood cloud, growing at a visible rate.

With each leap Akaga made, the energy flow seemed to be triggered, carrying him rapidly backward.

However, in the process of advancing and retreating, they actually only moved a few kilometers, and sometimes even retreated a little bit, but Akaga was completely unaware of this.

Even from an outsider's perspective, Zhao Xiaoying felt a chill run down her spine.

Only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one know how many dangers are hidden in the primordial world, to the point that even a powerful Venerable-level expert is helpless at times.

The long-legged girl couldn't help but ask, "What is energy flow? Is this the essence of the Ancient God's Gut?"

Yang Fan shook his head: "I don't know!"

Zhao Xiaoying exclaimed, "I never thought there would be times when you didn't know."

Yang Fan retorted irritably, "I'm not an ancient god, how could I possibly know everything?"

He paused for a moment and guessed, "However, I think the energy flow is not from the intestines of the ancient god, but more likely from the power of the ancient god's intestinal peristalsis."

"If it is the intestines of a true ancient god, even if it has already perished, once a Venerable One falls into it, he will be digested instantly."

Zhao Xiaoying nodded and said, "That makes sense."

She immediately asked, "So how do you plan to deal with the Venerable One?"

Yang Fan uttered a single word: "Wait!"

Zhao Xiaoying was a little confused.

Yang Fan explained in more detail: "The blood cloud not only contains the wriggling power of the ancient god's intestines, but the ancient god's intestines also projected a portion of their power over it."

"The longer the Venerable One stays inside, the more severe the corruption he will suffer. Once his power has weakened to a certain extent, we will use the Eternal Trojan Horse to kill him."

Zhao Xiaoying was a little scared: "The Guts of the Ancient God are so terrifying, won't it be dangerous for the Trojan Horse to go inside?"

Instead of answering directly, Yang Fan asked a question: "What would happen if an ordinary person ingested indigestible plastic?"

Zhao Xiaoying immediately understood: "Pull it out."

Yang Fan laughed and said, "If it were the true intestines of an ancient god, it could digest the eternal attributes, but this is just a projection, and it can't digest the eternal Trojan horse at all, so just go in boldly."

Zhao Xiaoying hummed in agreement.

Yang Fan glanced ahead, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He was eager to see what good things the Soul-Stealing Cicada would extract after killing the Venerable One.

Of course, the enormous fortune left by the Venerable One is also his target this time.

*
Three hours passed quickly.

Akaga remained trapped within the blood cloud. He tried no fewer than ten methods, but the blood cloud that blotted out the sky remained before him.

He looked down at his left palm, his expression extremely grim.

All that could be seen were tiny black lines that had appeared on the surface of the four fingernails of the six fingers.

This is the erosion of the power of death.

"Ah~"

A scream pierced through the blood-red clouds.

This is clearly a super giant worm that has been chasing after us.

Akaga glanced back, a flicker of despair in his eyes.

He'd been trapped for so long, and the number of worms following him had exceeded eighty. (End of Chapter)
