Chapter 350: The First City Lord of Ninglan

I walked forward against the strong wash of energy.

That figure seemed to become more and more solid, its entire body as if woven from golden threads.

Could there be a wise old master accompanying this Seed of Destiny?

That was my first thought.

After all, this thing was the core of Ninglan New City's Destiny.

For Ninglan New City, a city of this size, to stand on the ruins for a thousand years, I wouldn't believe it if it didn't have some foundation.

It was just that the value of this foundation was breaking my perception step by step.

At first, I just thought that the succession of the City Lord was very strict, and the cultivation of the next generation was even more so.

But the appearance of Ninglan Qiuyu broke this idea.

Later, when I came into contact with extraordinary skills, I thought that the City Lord maintained stability and continuity by monopolizing extraordinary skills and maintaining absolute military force.

But the underground city broke this idea.

Later, I came into contact with Destiny, the Destiny of Ninglan New City.

I thought it was the protection of Destiny.

And now, a human figure popped out of the core of Ninglan New City's Destiny, telling me that the thousand-year inheritance of Ninglan New City was actually a wise old master accompanying the-protagonist kind of thing... This was really messing with my mind.

But I still wasn't quite sure who the person in front of me was.

Could it be... the first City Lord of Ninglan?

"Who are you?"

After coming very close to the other party, I asked.

After hearing my question, the other party seemed to be a little moved.

The figure with only half a body turned around, but it only had the outline of a face, without any facial features or expression, and even no characteristics.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"You can actually hear me speak..."

"Can't you speak?"

"I have tried to communicate with everyone who has had contact with me, but no one could hear what I said."

"Hmm?"

I subconsciously turned my head and looked at those people.

They didn't seem to have heard anything, and were still subconsciously shielding themselves with their arms or bodies under the strong impact of the energy.

When this was pointed out by the other party, I also began to realize that I seemed to... also not be able to hear what he said.

But... telepathy.

I quickly reacted to what was happening.

The other party was no longer an ordinary person, and could not make any sound.

His so-called speaking was actually just a kind of speaking he thought he was doing, but there was no "sound" to transmit the words.

But the information he wanted to express was captured by my Spirit Vision.

Plus, with the five senses cultivation of my current body cultivator, combined with the information obtained by the Spirit Vision, it completed a subconscious telepathy, which was transformed into information I could understand.

Plus, my own assumption of a conversation, so this information was understood by me as "heard" words.

It seemed that the bug was running in a wonderful way...

"It seems you are special."

"Maybe. You can think so," I nodded and said, without any extra rebuttal.

I couldn't be bothered to tell the other party my thoughts.

It would be very troublesome to explain this kind of thing, and it wasn't necessarily right.

So it was better not to say anything.

Anyway, being able to communicate was enough, right?

"I'm very curious, who are you?"

"Me? My name is... Ninglan..."

"Then let me ask another question. Are you the first City Lord of Ninglan New City?"

Seeing that the other party couldn't speak, I changed the question.

After all, I had also come to such a conclusion before.

The first City Lord of Ninglan seemed to also be a Child of Destiny.

"Ninglan New City... Ninglan New City! I remember Ninglan New City. That's right... I am the first City Lord of Ninglan New City..."

"That's right. Can you tell me what you are doing now?"

I pointed at the huge blood ball behind him.

He was absorbing this power at a crazy speed.

"I am... protecting Ninglan New City..."

He said slowly.

"In your own way?"

"Yes."

"But what you are absorbing is the flesh and blood of your citizens of Ninglan New City," I frowned and said.

"They will become the nourishment for Ninglan New City and contribute to the continuation of Ninglan New City."

"You know?!"

Just as I finished saying that sentence, I was even prepared for the other party to go crazy because they couldn't accept it.

But I didn't expect the other party to accept it so calmly!

No... not just accepting.

The height at which the other party stood had already abandoned the value and sacrifice of the individuals in Ninglan New City.

Everything was for the primary purpose of the continuation of Ninglan New City.

"Yes..."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

I continued to ask.

After all, this so-called extraordinary item had come over to absorb energy on its own.

It needed so much energy, it must be for something.

"Yang Yuehan! What are you talking to yourself about!"

"Hmm? So loud..."

I turned my head and wanted to refute that Nightmare Demon, but I quickly reacted.

The body of this first City Lord in front of me was woven from Destiny, and ordinary people couldn't see the existence of Destiny.

So they not only couldn't see, but also couldn't hear what this City Lord had done or said.

"Expel all invaders..."

At this moment, the voice of this first City Lord came.

But after understanding his meaning, I also felt a little troubled.

Invaders... this included too many things.

Nightmare Demons, Nightmares, and... us outsiders!

In the next moment, this first City Lord burst out with countless chains condensed from Destiny, and linked all the Children of Destiny present in an abstract way.

This action scared me so much that my heart almost skipped a beat.

But when I saw that those people were not being controlled and their eyes were still clear, I was slightly relieved, but my heart was still not at ease.

"What is this!"

But before he could answer my question, a violent spatial fluctuation rippled from the side.

This was definitely not something an ordinary teleportation spell could do.

After all, I had never seen a teleportation channel that required such a complex ritual, such a clear anchor point, and such bloody energy and soul-substance to drive it.

It was hard to imagine how far this fluctuation had crossed, or how many worlds.

I was very clear that the place we were in was the main world, and what the Nightmare Demon was opening was a passage to the abyss.

There were two worlds and the void between worlds in the middle... Even though the commotion was so great, the passage that was opened at this moment was not even as high as I was standing.

And now, the opened abyss channel was crazily absorbing the flesh and blood energy, and even suppressed the speed at which the first City Lord was absorbing it in an instant.

The flesh and blood energy was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, several figures drilled out of that channel at a fast speed.

It was those Nightmare Demons who had been waiting in the abyss!

"Haha! It's the main world! I'm finally here!"

"This time, it's my turn to bring fear to the main world! Where are the enemies?"

"Sister, you're too slow. Why did you only open the passage now?"

As soon as they came out, these Nightmare Demons couldn't wait to announce their arrival.

It was obvious that they didn't know what the current situation was.

"Sisters... stop the nonsense. Be careful of this guy! Let's work together and get rid of her. Otherwise, we'll all die!"

At this moment, the Nightmare Demon who had summoned these Nightmare Demons spoke.

Although they, the Nightmare Demons, were nominally affiliated with the Abyssal Demon race, they did not have individual names, only the collective name, which was Nightmare Demon.

Because their existence form was not recognized by life, just like the superiority that humans feel towards animals.

Take rabbits for example.

A rabbit is a rabbit.

Each rabbit does not have a name.

Having a name is meaningless to people.

Only when they become human pets may they be given a name, but this name is also meaningless.

At most... it's enough to show off within the group?

The Nightmare Demons were in such a situation in the abyss, which was one of the reasons why they longed to cling to the strong.

"This... a witch?!"

After all the Nightmare Demons locked onto me, they were instantly stressed when they saw my attire.

"It's a little witch from the main world! What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, what are you still afraid of!"

At this time, after seeing those Nightmare Demons, I was relieved.

Although there were a lot of them, they still couldn't cause me any harm.

My sight was still on the first City Lord.

His operation of controlling the Destiny just now really made my jaw drop.

Of course, it was just a visual effect.

Those people couldn't see the Destiny, so they naturally couldn't see such a spectacle.

But up to now, I still hadn't seen what the use of the Destiny connection was.

But when I saw him trying to use the Destiny to block that summoning teleportation array, I still spoke up to stop him.

"Destiny is not transcendent energy. It cannot be used as a means to cut off the supply of transcendent energy."

So the first City Lord who could control the Destiny could not close the teleportation gate, unless the flesh and blood energy was exhausted.

But it was estimated that at that time, the first City Lord in front of me would also dissipate.

Because I could see that this white crystal wrapped around the Seed of Destiny, that is, this whole thing, seemed to be absorbing the flesh and blood energy and converting it into a kind of energy that I couldn't understand to operate.

And the components of this first City Lord in front of me were Destiny, soul-substance, and the energy that was converted after this extraordinary item.

But this first City Lord did not listen to my words and still went on his own way to try.

"I said, are you ignoring us too much!"

"Am I?"

I turned around.

At this moment, I was already surrounded by a group of Nightmare Demons, without a single chance of escape.

Just a glance, and there were already no less than a dozen Nightmare Demons here.

"Sisters, kill her. The rest are not a threat!"

"Is that what you think?"

I looked at the Nightmare Demon who had just shouted this sentence.

It was the one I had beaten before.

She was encouraging the other Nightmare Demons to go forward, while she herself retreated to the back.

It seemed that her fear of me, even with so many sisters, could not be completely eliminated.

"It's just a little witch. I heard that the guys from the main world all came through the dream? Isn't this our home turf."

At this moment, a Nightmare Demon sneered and attacked first, completely ignoring the danger of me that the Nightmare Demon had described just now.

"Wait! Don't be careless! That madman has also teleported her main body over, don't..."

Before she could finish, this Nightmare Demon who had come over first was directly hit in the abdomen by me, and then her head was smashed to the ground by my foot.

All the Nightmare Demons only heard a tremor on the ground, and this Nightmare Demon's head had smashed a series of cracks on the ground.

Faced with such a reversal, and the fate of that unlucky Nightmare Demon, they also realized how troublesome I was and immediately rushed up, directly choosing to besiege and kill me.

But numbers are meaningless in the face of absolute power crushing.

Isn't this the philosophy I have always practiced in battle?

Although I haven't practiced any physical arts, just using my body alone, I have exerted a terrifying combat power.

Even many moves that I wouldn't have dared to think of before can be used easily.

This is the power displayed by the absolute control of my own body, not to mention the ability of a body cultivator to control transcendent energy with the body.

Every seemingly ordinary punch, plus my not-so-sturdy body, but the damage caused was real.

This contrast made them understand that they had underestimated the other party.

And in the dream, my power was even more terrifying.

After all, the Dream Rewrite Spell was not a joke.

"No... impossible, how can this guy achieve complete synchronization between the dream and reality, our talent ability..."

"The other party is also a body cultivator... a witch... she hasn't even used a spell yet..."

The Nightmare Demons were very familiar with the terror of the witch race.

The spellbooks they mastered allowed them to learn spells with almost no threshold.

So the most terrifying witches, many of them were also body cultivator witches or had come into contact with body cultivation.

They put their energy into the cultivation of physical arts, but the power of their spells was not weak either.

Especially the witches who combined spells with body cultivation were even more unsolvable.

At this time, after the initial exchange, they had completely recognized such a fact.

No matter who they were, they could not win a one-on-one fight against a witch who practiced physical arts.

Even if the other party was just a little witch, not a Transcendent Witch, the spellbook was real, and the physical arts were also real.

Her combat power could not be denied.

"Damn it, let's clean up those small fries first. I don't believe that a single witch can deal with all of us Nightmare Demons!"

After confirming that they were no match, they immediately changed their strategy.

They came here to show their skills, not to be frustrated.

So they directly went for those they thought were weak.

I watched as those Nightmare Demons who had been so eager to target me just now ran away so dramatically.

They really had no martial ethics at all... I subconsciously clenched my fist and said with a smile.

But at this moment, the students from the transcendent academies were in trouble.

But... this was their choice, so they naturally had to bear the price of this choice.

"They can't hold on for much longer..."

At this moment, the voice of the first City Lord came.

"Isn't your Destiny linked to them?"

"It is precisely because of this that I know they can't hold on for much longer."

"What on earth does this ability of yours do?"

I asked.

This ability of linking the Destiny together did not seem to be able to have a very strong effect on the linked person.

So what was its use?

"At first... I didn't know either. But after my exploration... you call this Destiny, right? How fitting. I can guide all things in a favorable direction by guiding the Destiny. I can predict their actions and decisions, but..."

"So this is how Ninglan New City has come this far. You have guided every City Lord to the right path," I interjected and asked at this moment.

"That's probably what it means... but they really can't hold on any longer."

"Aren't you also in a hurry? If they can't hold on, those Nightmare Demons will attack your Ninglan New City."

"You'll have a way..."

"No, I don't have any cloning technique. I can't help them. If the Nightmare Demons really want to escape, there are so many of them. I can at most kill a few of them before they all escape."

"You'll have a way. I will guide you..."

"You're really counting on me for everything, aren't you!"

I turned around and looked at this first City Lord with a helpless look.

I naturally knew that I should have a way to do it.

That was the primal rune ritual, the means I had named "Nightmare Spell."

To forcibly pull the Nightmare into the dream.

Then the Nightmare Demon who had lost the ability to travel between reality and the dream, when facing those geniuses from the transcendent academies, would absolutely be crushed!

I was naturally certain of their combat power.

They were just at a disadvantage in terms of means.

But there was still a very fatal problem, and that was the Nightmare Spell.

I couldn't pull so many Nightmare Demons into the dream at once.

As long as the other party wanted to run and break free from the forced effect of the spell, they would not be restricted in any way.

Unless... I derived something from this spell.

Actually, when this first City Lord relied on me, I knew it was stable.

The driving force of Destiny was very strong.

The driving force of the script could even sever the connection between the Fool's Dream and the Nightmare.

This was enough to see something.

And when he promised to guide me, in that instant, I had even thought of a combo.

The derivation of the Nightmare Spell guided by the domain—the Nightmare Domain.

Just like the Fire Rain Domain spellbook I had mastered.

Let me see how an existence that is good at using Destiny uses the power of Destiny to provide me with assistance.
