I can find treasures in my dreams.

"...Many people at the scene had strange hallucinations, as if the military camp had turned into another world."

"At that time, many soldiers saw a huge snake head emerge, with every scale on its body shimmering with seven colors."

"Knight Sabri was caught off guard and was bitten by the snake's head. He immediately unleashed a devastating ice storm attack on the snake's head."

"The ice storm destroyed half of the military camp, affecting a large number of soldiers, many of whom did not survive."

"But this trick had very little effect on the snake's head. Only a thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the snake's head. When the Sabri Knight was dragged into it, the illusion immediately disappeared."

This is the information reported by the maid.

After a moment of contemplation, Varata drew three conclusions.

First, the enemy does indeed come from the dream world.

The destructive power of the ice storm in the real world is indeed enormous, but the snakeheads are dream creatures, and the damage from supernatural abilities to them will be reduced by at least 95%.

According to information provided by the Longxin Civilization, only the power of dreams can effectively harm dream creatures.

Secondly, the enemies of the Nightmare Crisis seem to be more than just one Eternal Wonder, but also other dream creatures.

Based on this, it can be inferred that there is likely a manipulator behind the Eternal Artifact, and the snake head is very likely related to that manipulator.

Third, the enemy's methods are even more terrifying than expected.

The Longxin Civilization has explicitly stated that dragging targets from the real world into the Dream Realm is an extremely powerful technique, and only the top experts within the Dream Realm can accomplish it.

The meaning of a top-tier expert is equivalent to that of a venerable one.

Or rather—the Venerable One of Dreams.

After Varata realized this, he was completely numb.

Ice Soul Man has never entered the Dream Realm before, so why did he inexplicably provoke a Dream Venerable?
What a hell!
At that moment, he had only one feeling: "This time, the trouble is huge!"

After much deliberation, Valata issued another order: "Someone! Prepare the bloodline tokens of all the knights for me; I need to perform a divination."

"Yes!"

The Ice Soul Civilization has a rule that after each high-ranking warrior is promoted, they must use their own blood essence to create a bloodline token and send it to the Holy Heaven Palace for safekeeping.

In the event of something going wrong in the future, such as disappearing in some primordial perilous place, the Holy Heaven Palace can use bloodline tokens as a medium to perform divination to determine whether the missing person is still alive and whether it is necessary to organize manpower for rescue.

Valata plans to use the Treasure of Destiny to perform divination and determine who the next knight to be harmed will be.

Dream Island.

"puff!"

Accompanied by a vomiting sound.

A giant serpent, over a hundred meters long, with scales shimmering in seven colors, spat out a knight clad in ice armor.

This unfortunate fellow was none other than Sabri, a mid-level knight who was dragged into the dreamlike illusion.

Sabri roared, and two ice blades appeared in his hands as he charged towards the giant serpent.

next second.

A giant, illusory hand swung towards Sabri.

Something strange happened.

Another transparent Sabri emerged from his body, which then collapsed to the ground as if it had lost all its strength.

This giant hand was undoubtedly a technique used by Yang Fan.

Zhao Xiaoying was astonished: "Is this Sabri's soul?"

Yang Fan nodded with a smile: "The Dream Realm is an illusory world. The physical body will be rejected by the power of the dream, so extracting the soul will become very easy."

Zhao Xiaoying turned to look at the seven-colored giant snake and exclaimed, "This thing is really amazing."

As a firsthand witness, she observed the entire process of the giant snake's birth.

After killing Venerable Akaga, Yang Fan obtained an astonishing amount of spoils.

Among them is a treasure – the Dream Travel Stone.

Its refining materials include a precious level-five exotic material, which has only one function—to instantly escape the dream illusion world.

When Akaga was trapped in the Ancient God's Intestine, he realized the situation was dire and tried to activate the Dream Travel Stone to escape. Unfortunately, due to the deep-seated laws of the Ancient God's Intestine, the Dream Travel Stone could not function, and he ultimately perished there. Later, when Yang Fan obtained the Dream Travel Stone, he only said one sentence: "Such a good material wasted on refining a stone."

Zhao Xiaoying witnessed her partner using the power of the King of Dreams to completely transform her.

The dream-traveling stone mysteriously transformed into a giant egg, which successfully hatched today, and a giant snake named "Dream King Serpent" emerged from it.

Sabri was the first victim of the Dream King Serpent.

To the long-legged girl, this was simply unimaginable.

How could something that's clearly inanimate turn into a living snake?

Yang Fan's explanation left her somewhat confused: "This is a world made up of dreams, and the laws are different from those of the real world. The idea that wishes can come true here is not a myth."

Zhao Xiaoying was very surprised: "You mean, if you wish for the stone to turn into a giant snake, it really will turn into a giant snake?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's about the gist of it. A few days ago, I was promoted to Venerable, and the power of the King of Dreams underwent a leap, which made me able to achieve my wishes to a certain extent."

Zhao Xiaoying shook her head, still finding it hard to understand: "I've noticed that your strength is becoming more and more abnormal."

She then asked, "Do you intend to use the Dream Serpent to wipe out all the knights of the Ice Soul Civilization?"

If this move were to succeed, she could easily imagine the Ice Soul Man's expression would be quite something.

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "It's not that simple!"

He explained in detail: "Among the surrounding world groups, Valata should be the most skilled predictor. Valata will definitely be able to predict the next attack of the Dream Serpent."

He concluded, "This battle, in the end, is a battle of venerables between me and Varata."

Zhao Xiaoying was full of confidence in her partner: "I believe you will definitely win."

Yang Fan countered, "Why?"

Without hesitation, Zhao Xiaoying replied, "You always have a lot of cards up your sleeve, while Varata definitely doesn't have as many."

Yang Fan smiled, neither confirming nor refuting.

He looked at Sabri's soul and waved his hand to take out a dilapidated, illusory stone jar.

When Zhao Xiaoying first saw the stone jar, she said in a "I knew it" tone, "What kind of trump card is this?"

Yang Fan uttered a single word: "Nightmare Evil Spirit".

Years ago, he obtained a cursed jar in the Black Sand Sea, which contained a mid-level knight-level evil spirit.

Later, he discovered that this thing seemed to be more suitable for the Dream Realm, so he managed to get the stone jar into the Dream Realm, and the evil spirit evolved into the Nightmare Evil Spirit.

"Ah~"

A sharp shriek was heard.

A monster with an enormous belly, the Nightmare Spirit, crawled out of the stone jar.

Sabri's soul instantly showed a look of terror.

This guy instinctively sensed that the monster had completely suppressed its own soul power.

The nightmare spirit crawled over with a drooling look on its face, starting by gnawing on Sabri's hands, swallowing them whole.

Even though it was a dream, the scene was still quite gruesome.

Zhao Xiaoying felt a little uneasy: "Honey, you're becoming more and more like an evil villainous boss."

Yang Fan didn't mind at all: "So be it, I'll be a villain."

soon.

"Ah~"

The nightmare spirit screamed again.

Its body had swelled considerably, and some patterns had appeared on its belly, making it look like an eyeball.

Zhao Xiaoying's lips moved, as if she wanted to ask more questions.

Yang Fan spoke first, saying, "The evil spirit hasn't completed its evolution yet. Once it's fully transformed, you'll naturally know the result."

He added, "This is a surprise gift for Varata." (End of Chapter)
