Chapter 189: Heart Nightmare Illusion Realm, Highly Poisonous
Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Heart Nightmare Illusion Realm, Highly Poisonous
The Demon King Domain is like a giant mouth devouring light, making even the air in the thick darkness feel viscous.
Kaelan felt as if he was trudging through liquid asphalt with each step, the heavy resistance slowing his movements.
The malevolent aura swirling around him suddenly let out a hissing sound like a snake shedding its skin, wisps of smoke steaming off his skin—traces of the invisible corrosive force burning him within this realm.
"What the hell is this!!!" Kaelan’s outraged voice echoed in the darkness.
After two encounters with Qin Tian, this guy had already displayed numerous incredible abilities—wings as black as the abyss that tore through space, instant teleporting black holes, a giant bear form as massive as a mountain, and now this eerie cage of dark aura.
The sharp sound of something breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and dozens of shadowy tendrils covered in spikes lunged at him from the void, like the claws of a creature from the abyss, tightly entangling his ankles.
Shadow Touch, a Black Iron level Spiritual Ability Magic, demonstrated Bronze Level strength within the Demon King Domain.
"Courting death!!"
Veins bulged on Kaelan’s neck as he easily tore apart the tendrils. In the next instant, his gaze hardened, and evil energy formed a flowing shield around his body.
A high-speed, spinning bullet attacked from the shadows.
The instant the bullet struck the shield, it erupted in a screech of metal twisting, with sparks flying everywhere.
"Break for me!!!"
Kaelan shouted, and the evil energy around him erupted like an out-of-control volcano, sweeping around in a hot wave smelling of sulfur, aiming to tear a rift in this domain.
However, just as he unleashed his full power, a purple light, darker than the shadow, slithered into his pupil like a venomous snake.
Kaelan’s world spun rapidly, his consciousness dragged into a bizarre space filled with crimson mist. The moment when he was captured by the Dark Elves and thrown into the Evil God Altar, the despair when he witnessed his companions being devoured, and the countless times he lingered on the edge of the abyss—all these memories surged over him like a tide.
"No—!!"
He screamed in anguish deep within his soul, his nails digging into his palm, yet feeling no pain.
"I am Kaelan! The most loyal Tier Six Apostle of the Evil God!!"
The space cracked like a mirror, and amid the sharp sounds of shattering, Kaelan staggered back into reality, cold sweat soaking his clothes, the terror not yet dissipated from his pupils.
Not far away, Qin Tian stepped back half a step, spitting out a mouthful of blood, a stabbing pain echoed in his mind.
Earlier, he had used the Eye of Fear’s Heart Nightmare Illusion Realm, pulling Kaelan’s consciousness into an illusion and making him endure the torment of fear’s cycle. Unfortunately, Kaelan was a Tier Six Powerhouse, his Spiritual Power a notch above Qin Tian’s.
Thus, when Kaelan exited the illusion, Qin Tian would suffer from the mental backlash, feeling as if his head were splitting apart.
Fortunately, he had achieved his goal. On one hand, he caused Kaelan to stop, unable to sabotage the inheritance ceremony. On the other hand, during Kaelan’s few distracted breaths, Qin Tian had used other abilities.
"No, my body!!!"
Just then, Kaelan realized in horror that an extremely malevolent toxin had inexplicably appeared inside him, spreading at a frenzied speed, damaging his muscles, bones, organs, and various other tissues.
Seeing this, Kaelan hurried to mobilize his Spiritual Energy to suppress the toxin’s further spread. As a Dark Elf, his body had been altered by the Power of the Evil God, granting him strong resistance against poisons.
However, while he suppressed the spread, the areas touched by the toxin were left deeply damaged, his flesh seeming as if chewed by white ants—peppered with holes—the excruciating pain deeply stimulating his nerves.
"Heh~"
Qin Tian wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, casting a cold smile.
During Kaelan’s brief time caught in the illusion, Qin Tian had immediately released the poison of the Rotting Spirit Bone Flower, blending it with the dark aura of the domain, silently entering Kaelan’s body.
You should know, the Rotting Spirit Bone Flower is a Highly Poisonous substance capable of killing Tier Six Powerhouses. Even though Kaelan’s constitution is unique and can suppress the toxin’s further spread, the places eroded by the toxin could not recover.
This injury is enough to reduce Kaelan’s combat power by more than thirty percent, narrowing the gap between him and a Tier Six Powerhouse even further.
It’s a pity, though, that Kaelan exited the illusion too quickly. If the time had extended just a few more seconds, even if he didn’t die, he would have been completely incapacitated for combat by now.
"Aaaah!"
At this moment, Kaelan’s eyes turned bloodshot, nearly driven mad by Qin Tian. Even as a Tier Six Powerhouse, not only had he failed to subdue a human who seemed as insignificant as an ant within three moves, but he was even injured by his opponent.
Lord Morost is watching him; the other Dark Elves also relied on him to swiftly destroy the inheritance formation. Yet he was wasting too much time on this human before him.
This couldn’t continue. Even if it meant paying with blood, he must tear this human to pieces.
Pshh~
Kaelan roared, tearing open his clothing, while the Evil God mark engraved on his chest trembled violently.
He suddenly bit his tongue, spraying Essence Blood on the mark. Instantly, a blood-red flame ignited across his body.
This flame was unlike any ordinary one; each wisp of fire seemed like boiling liquid blood. Wherever it passed, space groaned under the strain, and the Demon King Domain was scorched out in large gaps.
As his Essence Blood burned, Kaelan’s aura climbed to an insane height. His hair turned white at an eye-visible speed, his visage becoming gaunt.
He rapidly formed a seal with both hands in front of his chest, muttering in incantation. Innumerable bloody runes burst forth from his fingertips, weaving into a massive blood-red vortex in the sky. From the vortex, the roars of ancient Demon Gods faintly emanated, the ground cracked, magma gushed forth, and the black clouds overhead were dyed blood-red.
"Die for me!!"
Kaelan roared, pushing the blood-red vortex towards Qin Tian. Where it passed, space crumbled inch by inch, forming pitch-black fissures as if intending to devour the entire world.
The terrifying power within the vortex instantly shattered the Demon King Domain.
Facing such a terrifying strike, Qin Tian’s expression turned exceedingly grave. This move had already surpassed his endurance limit. Fortunately, the Great Wilderness Immortal still offered two more chances to lock health, hoping to help him withstand this strike.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sound of crackling echoed from Qin Tian’s skeleton, as the dark purple lines flowing beneath his skin spread like living creatures.
In the blink of an eye, his form expanded to seven meters, black hair standing up like steel needles, his ten fingers transforming into giant claws with a gleaming cold light; the Shadow Bear Form resurfaced.
"Come on!"
His roar resounded through the space, the bloodthirsty scarlet flames flickering in the eyes that were as large as bronze bells, his robust body as massive as a mountain took a step forward, creating two huge footprints on the ground. His crossed arms formed a cross before his chest, the force erupting from the sinewy muscles causing the air to ripple faintly.
However, just as the blood-red vortex, laden with world-ending pressure, barreled toward him, a slender, upright figure suddenly descended, standing in front of him.
Zheng——!
A sharp sword hum cut through the sky, a cyan light more dazzling than the sun burst forth. The sword light carried a might that seemed to split the heavens and earth, tearing through space like old brocade fabric.
The next moment, the cyan sword light collided with the blood-red vortex, unleashing energy ripples sweeping like a hurricane.
The blood-red vortex was split into two, the separated energy bodies releasing cries of unwillingness, then dispersing into a rain of blood. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure holding the sword stood there, the edge of his cloak lightly swayed by the wind, as if he had just completed an insignificant performance.
"That is..."
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Kid, you finally came out of seclusion.
