Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 357 Dawn Nightmare

Upon hearing this, the Virtual Universe Company's Universe Venerables present all turned their heads in surprise.

It has been almost two months since Bai Yang regained consciousness, a rather delicate timeframe.

Whether to stay or leave is acceptable, but it's rare to see someone like Boswa who insists on openly causing trouble.

Opposite him, a man with compound eyes, wearing a set of eerie turquoise armor, smiled slightly.

"Berswa, do you not know that Bai Yang is the disciple of the Dragon Lord?"

Why bother with him?

When Boswat saw that someone was objecting, his voice immediately became louder.

What does it mean to go against him?

I am handling this impartially!

He's been awake for so long, shouldn't he be in the Primordial District?

A bald man in a silver robe with green secret patterns on his face suddenly chuckled and spoke.

"Berswa, I've heard that you're cultivating the Golden Beast God's Path?"

Yu Bao Tang has recently received some really good stuff.

I heard there are two statues of beast gods on display. Have you seen them? Hahahaha!

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cosmic venerables all displayed subtle expressions, their meaning left unsaid.

Although it was inconvenient to openly mock his colleagues, he couldn't hide his barely suppressed laughter.

Berswa's face turned pale, yet he was unable to refute her.

Venerable Xuechen only exchanges, never sells, and is only interested in items of the same level.

No matter how much he tried to bargain, the other party ignored him and finally offered an outrageous price, forcing him to shut up.

How could he accept being humiliated like this by Venerable Xuechen?

Boswa used his access privileges to do a quick search and immediately thought of Bai Yang, wanting to vent his anger first.

His thoughts couldn't be hidden from others, so they remained noncommittal about his suggestions.

The thirty-odd cosmic venerables present were all high-ranking executives of the Virtual Universe Company, and they all knew, to varying degrees, that Bai Yang had once ventured through Tongtian Mountain.

Anyone who had the time to watch the video believed that Bai Yang's passage through the gate was only a matter of time, and naturally they wouldn't have acted like a villain for nothing.

Just as Boswa was about to say something more, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

At the same time, many cosmic venerables received news that Bai Yang had begun his trial again.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the conference room.

The strangely shaped man with compound eyes asked the bald man in silver robes:

"It's only been a little over a month since the last time, right?"

The bald man nodded and said, "That's right, it's only been a little over a month."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yang went off to cause trouble again.

"You said he went again after such a short interval, does he have any confidence?"

I think it will take at least three or four hundred years.

"Who knows? Nobody expected him to make it past the twelfth level of the Sky Bridge."

"Aren't we all used to it now?"

The entire conference room fell silent for a moment. The Universe Venerable could not directly observe Tongtian Mountain, but the group's minds were no longer on it.

Bai Yang returned to his old haunts and easily passed the first two levels even faster than before.

In just a few minutes, we arrived at the mountaintop again.

The three people on the mountaintop were all very serious this time.

Bai Yang's speed was simply too fast. In addition to having gained experience, his combat strength had indeed increased significantly.

The minotaur, ape-man, and snake woman set up a battle formation from the start, completely different from the previous one.

The three of them were created countless eons ago, and they have long since developed intelligence, possessing their own joys, sorrows, and emotions.

Even though they couldn't tell on the surface that something was wrong with Bai Yang, a kind of biological instinct was warning them.

Bai Yang held his long sword and looked at the three of them with a relaxed expression, showing no sign of tension.

"You guys make the first move."

This statement was made so naturally, without a trace of arrogance, that it actually sounded very friendly.

Under the threat, the three of them showed no anger whatsoever and immediately attacked Bai Yang in unison.

Bai Yang looked at the minotaur, who was the first to be attacked and the greatest threat.

The black embryo in her brain rippled and said, "Dawn Nightmare!"

A strange black aura suddenly erupted from his body, instantly sweeping over the three of them.

"An illusion? A soul attack!?"

Both the ape-man and the snake-woman were powerful cultivators, but in the face of this black light, they instantly lost their composure and fell into an illusion.

As for martial artists like the Minotaur, they didn't even offer the slightest resistance; their eyes rolled back and their consciousness sank into Bai Yang's moves.

Dawn Nightmare – this is the mental attack method that Bai Yang obtained after completely replicating the Abyss of Purgatory and then awakening the Abyss clone.

This is an extremely complex secret technique that utilizes all 6703865 mental nodes at the crack locations, making it impossible for a normal person to master.

Each level of the abyss is a nightmare for ordinary people, with a total of 665 kinds of torment in the abyss, which is almost a hellish experience.

Bai Yang's illusions were all based on reality. The trio were stunned for a moment before they found themselves alone in a dark and sunless abyss.

No matter where they went, they could not escape by attacking the sky or the ground.

Only by finding the abyss rift can you proceed to the next level.

The next level always has a harsher natural environment, and they are attacked by a larger and more terrifying number of Half-Prisoners.

They quickly realized that the flow of time here was abnormal; several months had passed in their perception.

It's unclear whether Bai Yang used the laws of time or if the illusion was simply too sophisticated, directly distorting the three's sense of time.

It may even be both.

The snake woman is a master of illusion and possesses an extremely high soul amplitude.

Even here, she still couldn't see the flaws in the illusion. A normal illusion would make people feel that so much time had passed, meaning at least ten minutes would have passed in the outside world.

This period of time was enough for Bai Yang to kill them thousands of times over.

"It's no use, it's futile."

The snake woman felt despair. The more skilled the illusionist, the more she understood how terrifying Bai Yang's move was.

She was the first to lose her guard, and her consciousness was instantly swallowed up by the endless demonic energy. Her body in the illusion was torn to pieces by an endless number of Half-Prison Clan members.

From the outside, only a few seconds had passed when Bai Yang saw blood suddenly flowing from the snake woman's seven orifices.

The entire body seemed to have gone through countless years, instantly aging and decaying, crumbling into dust.

"So that's how it works. This is the first time I've seen it like this."

The snake woman, who was most skilled in illusion, died the fastest, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

Looking at the remaining two, Bai Yang knew in his heart that the next to die would be the ape-man.

He was trembling violently, and he could barely hold onto the black bamboo pole.

Sure enough, it took less than ten seconds.

Bai Yang had no idea how much time his mental fortitude had been tormented.

Suddenly, the ape-man let out a terrible scream and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body was gradually corroded, starting from his hands, and turned into dust, leaving his psychic weapon lying on the ground.

Then his entire body gradually cracked and turned into a pile of dust on the ground.

Bai Yang activated a secret soul technique, which inevitably restricted his physical movements.

Looking at the last minotaur, he slowly raised his longsword and walked towards him.
