“Front left?”
The Deaf Taoist sensed where Blazing Huo was going. The former frowned and said, “My lord, Blazing Huo is probably heading toward the Nightmare of Darkness.”
Lu Li blinked in confusion. “What is Nightmare of Darkness? A strange place connected with the Prison of Darkness?”
“No!”
The Deaf Taoist shook his head. “As I’ve said, the Prison of Darkness has many naturally-formed formations of illusion. The Nightmare of Darkness is one of them, and the most terrible one in the Prison of Darkness. At the moment, there are at least dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors in there. It is possible that they will never come back to their senses again.”
“What?”
Lu Li cried out. Patriarch Ye was astonished as well. Dozens of Semi-God Realm warriors were stuck in there? And they might never regain consciousness? How horrifying the place was.
The Deaf Taoist explained, “People will not be able to distinguish a dream and reality in that illusion. They will feel like they are just having a dream. That illusion will not only confuse people’s senses but souls. In other words, the usual illusions trap the physical body inside, but this one traps people’s souls!”
“Impressive!”
Lu Li and Patriarch Ye were both taken aback. Lu Renhuang was focused on tending to his wounds, so he said nothing.
Lu Li asked, “Should we go with Blazing Huo to the Nightmare of Darkness? Will we be affected by the illusion inside the Wicked Bead?”
“Ha, ha!”
The Deaf Taoist smiled. “We don’t have to go in there. Blazing Huo thought I was not familiar with it. As a matter of fact, I once entered the Nightmare of Darkness over 10 times. The Nightmare of Darkness is not a large area. We can just wait outside. I want to find out how long Blazing Huo can stay in there.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li’s confidence was boosted since the Deaf Taoist was familiar with the situation. He went after Blazing Huo in the Wicked Bead and soon caught up with the latter. Lu Li dashed out and launched another round of strikes.
Blazing Huo was well-aware that the Deaf Taoist had stamped him, and he knew where the stamp was. However, he could not get rid of it anytime soon. The Deaf Taoist was from the Region of Doom and the stamp was from there as well. How could a mortal human being get rid of the stamp easily?
The pursuit went on. Six hours later, Lu Li went out again and took the Deaf Taoist with him. The latter checked the surroundings and nodded. “We are close. Lord, be careful. Slow down.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li slowed the Wicked Bead down and amplified his psychic power to the maximum. He also checked outside through the Wicked Bead. He decided to stay inside all the time as he went after Blazing Huo.
“Oops!”
To his dismay, Blazing Huo noticed that the Wicked Bead had slowed down. His intention had been detected. The Deaf Taoist must be familiar with the place.
Blazing Huo thought his soul was strong while Lu Li was merely at the initial stage of the Semi-God Realm. Blazing Huo believed he would be okay when he entered the area of Nightmare of Darkness while Lu Li could be stuck there forever. In this way, Blazing Huo thought he could be out of the woods and even have Lu Li killed.
There was no turning back!
Blazing Huo hesitated for a moment before he pressed forward. He could see a bit of light ahead of him. It was vague, surreal, and strange.
When people came here, they would be attracted by the light out of instinct because it was always dark in the Prison of Darkness. Any unaware warrior would want to find out about the feeble light.
“There is a ray of light!”
Lu Li told the Deaf Taoist at once. The Deaf Taoist said immediately, “Do not stare at the light. We are approaching the Nightmare of Darkness. Please slow down while going further.”
Lu Li slowed the Wicked Bead down by two times. He didn’t fixate his psychic power on that glow but to the surrounding area.
Soon, Lu Li saw something he would never forget.
Up ahead was a valley, emitting a vague glow. Many warriors were floating in the air, up and down. Some of them had passed away, and some had faint breaths of life. But even the breathing ones had ferocious expressions, indicating their miserable state. None of them made any sound.
“One, two, three... 78...”
Lu Li counted roughly. There were over one hundred people floating in the air, and there were some Quasi Relics in the air as well, emitting a faint light.
That scene was appalling. The living ones could not make any sound while in complete pain. That was particularly frustrating.
“Nobody wants to collect the Quasi Relics?”
Lu Li asked with curiosity and added, “Why aren’t there anyone trying to rescue the ones stuck in the illusion?”
“It cannot be done!”
The Deaf Taoist shook his head. “There is a strange force in the Nightmare of Darkness. The ones inside can only come out relying on themselves. Nobody can get them out. The Quasi Relics cannot be moved or else they will have been collected by others.”
“That is horrifying!”
Lu Li exclaimed. He stopped the Wicked Bead. He could tell that Blazing Huo was going past the floating warriors and pressing forward. Lu Li frowned. “Blazing Huo has entered the Nightmare of Darkness and going forward. What do we do?”
“We wait!”
The Deaf Taoist closed his eyes and said while he monitored the situation, “Let’s find out if Blazing Huo is going to stay in the Nightmare of Darkness or leave. Wherever he is running to, I can find him. Lord, your Relic is fast. He is not going to get away.”
Lu Li had to wait. He didn’t even dare to use the psychic power too much in case he would be sucked into the Nightmare of Darkness. Though he had the silver dragon to protect his soul, he must be extra cautions because the Nightmare of Darkness was too strange.
“Wait?”
The Deaf Taoist seemed to be surprised. He shouted in alarm, “Blazing Huo is dissolving my stamp. He is using the third unique type of fire. He is fast.”
Lu Li’s mind was weighed down. If Blazing Huo got rid of the stamp, he could run away easily given the environment in the prison of Darkness. By then, he could find a small world to hide, and Lu Li would never find him no matter how many warriors he could mobilize.
Lu Li’s eyes flickered. After a moment, he said, “How about... when he dissolved the stamp, you go and release another one and see how long he can stay in there?”
“It’s not possible...”
The Deaf Taoist shook his head. “Once he dissolves the stamp, he will tear open the void and leave. As long as his teleportation is successful, it will be hard for us to track him down.”
“Then... should we strike him? Disturb him?” Lu Li made another proposal. Pointing at the immortal’s body, he added, “We can have the immortal’s body perform the job. He has no soul so he will not be affected.”
“Sure. Let’s see!”
The Deaf Taoist nodded, “If this won’t work, then I will have to take care of it. Lord, do not go out there. If you get stuck in the Nightmare of Darkness, it will be bothersome.”
“Okay!”
Lu Li set out the immortal’s body. Under Lu Li’s control, the immortal’s body dashed out toward the floating warriors and corpses and charged toward Blazing Huo, who was sitting on the ground. The immortal’s body was ready to punch Blazing Huo.
“Ha, ha!”
Blazing Huo opened his eyes as if he could foretell that Lu Li was going to let out the immortal’s body. Blazing Huo sneered and shouted, “Lu Li, if you want to kill me, the soulless corpse is not the one who will be able to do it. You and the Deaf Taoist will have to do it yourselves!”
