This thing was very similar to the Nightmare Beast he encountered in the Subduing Beast Valley. It was said that this type of vicious beast was very rare. How could he encounter one again?
The Nightmare Beast had a powerful hypnotic ability. With his rock-solid will, this kind of mental ability was useless against him. However, it was a bit difficult to kill him.
"Hehe!"
The monster laughed shrilly. Large clumps of hair spread out from its body, instantly filling the entire hall and attacking him from every angle.
Luo Kai wanted to move, but his body's reaction speed couldn't keep up with his thoughts. He was a beat slower, and the clumps of hair had already covered his entire body. He tried to struggle, but his new body didn't have much strength and couldn't break free. Accompanied by a strange laughter, the clumps of hair swarmed into his mouth and nose.
Luo Kai coldly snorted. His eyes flickered, and the clumps of hair that wrapped around his body suddenly disintegrated. He stretched out his hand and pressed down. An invisible force field appeared out of thin air, blocking the incoming clumps of hair.
This Nightmare Beast was much stronger than the rat monster from before. The spinning storm caused by his mental power couldn't directly kill it. His other methods, whether it was physical skills or sound wave techniques, all required a tyrannical body to support them. His current body was like a computer. Although the system was the most advanced, the hardware couldn't keep up.
The Nightmare Beast constantly waved its hair, but the surrounding air was like a ten thousand pound weight. It couldn't move in the slightest. At this point, it finally realized that it couldn't deal with the human in front of it. It hurriedly pulled back its hair.
Luo Kai took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his mind gushed out. A crack appeared between his eyebrows, and silvery light suddenly appeared. Gradually, more and more light gathered, and it seemed like it wanted to drag something out like a rope. A tearing pain came from between his eyebrows, and a thing as bright as a star and as thin as a needle slowly drilled out. A terrifying aura of destruction appeared along with it.
The sleeping people in the hall couldn't help but tremble. The Nightmare Beast felt a life and death crisis. It screamed and frantically shook its hair, trying to break free from the invisible barrier.
Luo Kai rubbed the space between his eyebrows with some pain, but the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. His gaze also became gentle as he looked at the long needles dancing around him. The long needles let out a burst of crisp sounds as they continuously revolved around him, as if they were also extremely happy.
This long needle was his Severing Blade. Through the condensation of his spiritual will, it had become an unknown substance that could freely switch between particle energy flow and physical substance. It could be said that it was an extension of his spiritual will.
The power of spiritual will corresponded to time and space, and was a specific reflection of one's thoughts and consciousness. Ancient Indian religions believed that the world was a projection of some kind of spiritual will, and all the material energy in the world was a reflection of the spiritual power of nothingness.
God said let there be light, and there was light!
In a sense, this was also the case.
In other words, these two kinds of power were the basic forces that built the world. They could build nature, and they could also destroy it. The Severing Blade had been nourished by his spiritual will for a long time, and gradually developed the power of space.
He gently waved his hand, and a bright silver light flashed. The Nightmare Beast's body was instantly fragmented. If time was slowed down, one could see that it was continuously cut and shuttled by a thin needle, and the deepest layer of cells were broken layer by layer. The Severing Blade, which had the power of space, could be said to be easy to all things.
With the death of the Nightmare Beast, the sleeping people in the hall showed signs of struggle, as if they were about to wake up from their nightmare.
When Luo Kai killed the Nightmare Beast, several hundred kilometers away in Wuchuan City, on the outskirts of the city, there was a large scale farm. A middle-aged man wrapped in a nightgown stood on the balcony, looking at the cold air rolling in from the sky with a grave and stern expression.
Behind him, a figure wrapped in a black robe was half-kneeling. There was a pool of red blood under the figure's feet.
"Master, Number 11 escaped. Please punish him." The black-robed man's voice trembled, as if he was enduring great pain.
The middle-aged man was still expressionless as he looked at the sky. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Number 11 has been killed by someone."
The black-robed man was stunned. He said in disbelief, "Even an ordinary physique master wouldn't be able to kill a Nightmare Beast. Could it be those ascetic monks from the Judicial Department?"
"I don't know, but the fact that we are secretly cultivating the Nightmare Beast is likely to be leaked. You set up a spy and carefully investigate the people who have been in and out of the Yunling Province recently. If necessary, you can use Number 1!" The middle-aged man turned around, his voice cold to the bone.
"Yes!" The black-robed man hurriedly nodded and carefully retreated.
After the catastrophe, humans devoted themselves to studying the evolution of Vicious Beasts. Gradually, they came up with some ideas. The Nightmare Beast was a type of Vicious Beast that could be promoted through external intervention. The process was very cruel and inhumane. They needed to find women around 20 years old who were in their prime and torture them with extremely painful methods all day long. If one of them could withstand the torture and survive, they would enter a demonic state. Gradually, their body and spirit would leave their humanity and become a Vicious Beast that could drag their life into a Nightmare Beast.
The Nightmare Beast's attack method was on the spiritual level. Even a Nightmare Beast in its infancy was not something a physique warrior could deal with. Once it reached adulthood, it would be able to contend with a physique master. However, this method was too evil and cruel. If it was discovered, it would lead to a disaster.
The middle-aged man turned his gaze back to the sky and murmured, "The cold current can actually pass through the Yunling Province. Is the climate change coming again?"
…
The sky was as gloomy as dusk. Everything on the ground was covered with a layer of ice crystals. Even the river water was frozen.
Luo Kai walked alone in the cold wind. The air he exhaled formed a large cloud of white fog. The temperature was estimated to be at least ten or twenty degrees below zero.
He was going to the Realm of Shattered Spirit that the Ninth Princess had mentioned. The Realm of Shattered Spirit was located in the Blue Sky Plateau of the Roof of the World. It was estimated to be thousands of miles away from his current location. He had to pass through several lords. If he wanted to go in a straight line, he would have to cross the central battlefield of Vicious Beasts.
If the Realm of Shattered Spirit was a prison for Evil Gods, then there must be a way to deal with them. There was no invulnerable existence in the world, not even a "God"!
A roar came from behind. Four or five heavy trucks loaded with goods slowly drove over. The one leading the way was a large bus with iron bars. As they approached, the window of the bus rolled down. A kind-looking old man shouted at him, "Young man, it's freezing. Get on the bus and let me give you a ride."
Luo Kai hesitated for a moment and stopped. This old man was the one who had given him the clothes yesterday. Luo Kai couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so he replied, "Thank you, sir."
The bus was very crowded. The small space was filled with people and goods. As soon as he got on the bus, everyone in the bus looked at him. The woman surnamed Zhang in the front passenger seat also looked at him with a slightly surprised expression. The temperature had dropped sharply yesterday, so the people in the motorcade had changed into cotton coats. However, this person was only wearing the unlined clothes given by Uncle Zhang. He didn't even wear shoes. It seemed that he didn't feel cold at all.
The old man moved the goods next to him aside to make room for Luo Kai. He said, "Young man, where are you going?"
"West."
"Oh, that's the same way. We're also going back to Wuchuan."
Wuchuan City was the capital of the Yunling Administrative Province in the central part of Higashimogami Province. Yunling Province had many rivers and rivers, and there was also a Yunling Basin. It was not only rich in resources, but also the most important food production area in the human territory.
"Thank you." Luo Kai thanked him and sat down.
"You're welcome. You look young, and you don't seem to be from a poor family. Why are you alone outside?"
"Well, my family suffered a disaster, so I'm going to seek refuge with my relatives." Luo Kai lied.
The old man was very talkative. Luo Kai had to answer him casually. He also learned about the identity of these people.
This caravan belonged to the Qingyun Business Alliance. The Qingyun Business Alliance was the largest business alliance in the central part of Higashimogami Province. It mainly dealt with food and various rare ores. The old man was called Zhang Gui. He came from the Zhang family of the Thousand Islands Sea. Since last year, when Higashimogami Province ceded the Thousand Islands Sea to the Thousand Islands Sea, the local business groups had migrated. The Zhang family also moved to the Yunling Province. They were good at making armor. The leather armor they made was not only light, but also had outstanding defensive capabilities. It could even withstand bullets.
