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

Chapter 556 The Nightmare King Gets His Wish

Luo Feng, Hong, and the others left the flying palace ahead of time and walked directly out of the world ring.

They didn't witness what happened back then.

Yang Wu was the only one who experienced the whole process. When he looked at the Nightmare Candle King hanging in the air, almost on his deathbed, he suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

This is the only son of a King-level Immortal, a Universe Venerable!

Even Luo Feng couldn't recognize this guy, although he did look exactly the same.

But how can the Nightmare Candle King in front of us, who is merely alive, be reconciled with the arrogant and spirited guy from back then?

Luo Feng frowned slightly, sensing the other party's extremely weakened aura.

The Nightmare Candle King seemed to be somewhat delirious, and he didn't react at all to so many people suddenly standing in front of him.

Beside him, the more powerful Waterfall King, Heart Piercing King, and others seemed to have much stronger willpower than him.

They struggled to lift their heads, saw Bai Yang and his group, and suddenly their pupils dilated as they stared at them in disbelief.

"It's you!"

"Bai Yang!"

"Earthlings!"

Bai Yang turned to look at the Waterfall King, who resembled an old man with green hair and a single horn, and smiled:

"It's me, everyone. Long time no see."

Apart from Nightmare Candle King, the bodies of the seventeen immortals trembled slightly with fear.

Although they cannot connect to the virtual universe, they are granted this "special care" by Venerable Zhongpeng.

They were not entirely unaware of Bai Yang's whereabouts.

Spending too much time in the dark and gloomy star prison will cause anyone to gradually lose their sense of time.

They didn't even realize that Bai Yang was right there, which was an incredible thing.

Venerable Zhongpeng found it rather disappointing that the Nightmare Candle King remained unconscious.

It's rare for the main character to come, so how boring would it be to be in this living dead state?

He pointed lightly at the man, and the miniature black hole beneath the Nightmare Candle King's feet suddenly lost its function.

The immense and terrifying pressure vanished in an instant, and the Nightmare Candle King, who had been violently shaken, suddenly began to regain his senses!

Bai Yang and the others immediately turned their heads, and they all felt the restoration of the Nightmare Candle King's aura.

On the once beautiful face of the Nightmare Candle King, a trace of life finally appeared.

He could barely open his eyes, and he dared not waste his precious divine power on such a minor problem as his eyesight.

What good are eyes in this Eighteenth Star Domain prison?

He only vaguely sensed two familiar auras, which seemed to have left a deep impression on him.

The Nightmare Candle King can't care about anything else!

Opportunities are fleeting!

He immediately summoned his divine power and prepared to self-destruct!

Only in this way can we escape that endless and terrible torment!

Venerable Zhongpeng was displeased and immediately cursed:

"Hmph! Boring!"

The miniature black hole took effect instantly, and the immense power of punishment descended once more, directly suppressing the Nightmare Candle King's rampaging divine power and once again seizing his consciousness!

King Waterfall Gold, King Thorn Heart, and the others witnessed this scene with complex expressions, knowing that they would have no chance either!

If they could self-destruct here, they would have done it long ago. Why would they have waited until today?

Everyone on Earth looked at each other, feeling utterly bored.

Thor said directly:

"This place is really ruthless! It feels like they've been tortured to the point of not wanting to live anymore."

"If we come here and kill them, wouldn't that just be giving them a comfortable release?"

Hong looked at Bai Yang and asked:

"Third brother, what do you think?"

Bai Yang looked at this group of guys and said calmly:

"Let's just kill him."

Pain and torment will eventually become numb; only real death can be considered revenge.

I believe those three cosmic beings are not so weak-willed; we still have a chance.

Luo Feng had hesitated for a moment, but after hearing Bai Yang's words, he replied:

"Good! They should be killed."

Brother Bai, you can do it.

He originally wanted to fight them and then kill them.

But given their current state, that's simply impossible.

Bai Yang nodded and casually threw a punch into the air.

The eighteen immortals, suspended in mid-air, suddenly began to convulse violently.

The divine body, composed of divine power, seemed to be simultaneously being ravaged by hundreds of transparent fists!

The slender human body was suddenly punched into a lump of flesh by an invisible force!

Such a bizarre boxing style left Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Hong completely baffled, unable to comprehend its secrets.

Thor was greatly surprised and said:

"Huh? They're dead?"

Luo Feng swept his mental energy over them and found that these lumps of flesh had instantly lost all signs of life.

"The soul has been annihilated? The soul imprint within the divine body has vanished."

Hong asked in surprise, "What kind of boxing style is this?"

Bai Yang said to the group:

"It can't be called a complete boxing style."

It was just some unexpected gain while studying the path of "pure heart".

It might be useful for dealing with enemies with weak souls, exploiting their weakness, but it's not really that effective.

Luo Feng had just undergone the ultimate test of the Star Tower, and his soul and will had made tremendous progress.

Seeing Bai Yang's performance, they were secretly surprised.

Has Brother Bai's spiritual will improved that much over the years?

Even a weakened Immortal King is still an Immortal King!

He doesn't actually have a means to attack directly using his soul's will right now.

Venerable Zhongpeng watched all this with a smile and said:

"Is this the end? Let's go see the three Venerable Ones."

With a wave of his right hand, Bai Yang caused the eighteen fleshy lumps to vanish instantly, having been stored in his world ring.

He led the group to immediately follow in Venerable Zhongpeng's footsteps, preparing to go elsewhere.

Without any visible movement from Venerable Zhongpeng, they were transported back to the dark stone steps they had been on before by spatial teleportation.

Clearly, the area where the Universe Venerable is imprisoned is even deeper within this giant mountain.

It was really hard to gauge the distance here; Bai Yang felt like they had walked for another ten minutes or so.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared before my eyes, and I was back inside a vast, brightly lit stone chamber.

Without Venerable Zhongpeng's prompting, everyone immediately saw the three Cosmic Venerables!

Ghostly Glaze! Corrosive Fire! Undying!

The three of them were imprisoned in this cell in the same posture as the immortals.

And it looks fairly normal overall.

The Immortal Venerable's strange, high-pitched voice immediately resounded throughout the room.

At the same time, his fierce eyes were fixed on Bai Yang!

"It's you!"

Xu Xin, Bai Pianyong, and others who were weaker immediately felt dizzy and their bodies swayed slightly!

This wasn't an attack of divine power, but rather the effect of sheer volume.

Even a high-ranking Venerable who is close to the overlord of the universe still maintains a powerful vitality!

Bai Yang shouted, immediately interrupting the sonic wave's impact and protecting his relatives and friends.

He looked up at the three people in turn, and apart from the weakest one, Venerable Gui Liu, who seemed to be very weak.

The Undying Venerable was extremely excited, while the Fiery Venerable was very wary, far more so than his cowardly son.

Seeing their state, Bai Yang was not worried but rather pleased.

"You all look so energetic, I can finally relax."

Venerable Fire Erosion had a deep gaze, seemingly maintaining the utmost rationality.

He looked at Bai Yang with extreme vigilance and asked:

"It hasn't even been two eras yet, what are you doing here?"
