Chapter 379: The Opportunity for Advancement

Ye Bai was speechless. Isn't this Jack the Ripper? How did he end up like a Blood Demon, capable of Bat Transformation and turning his body into blood?

This must be a version created using the Blood Demon as a template.

A truly speechless event.

Jack the Ripper's fingertips grazed across the sharp blade, and fresh blood trickled down from the wound, dripping onto the blade.

The blade was greedily devouring Jack the Ripper's blood; it was being dyed red by the fresh blood.

The blade, which originally had notches, was actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, Ye Bai discovered that a mouth had appeared on the blade: "Jack the Ripper, is it time to eat again?"

"You are so impatient to wake me up."

"I must tell you, I need many sacrifices, otherwise I cannot manifest the Nightmare World."

The two blades converged, forming a pair of giant scissors.

Two large eyes appeared on the handle of the scissors.

These scissors were a weapon created by Andras to match Jack the Ripper.

When combined with Andras, it could manifest a Domain that only a Tier 7 could unleash.

"I need to borrow your power."

"I can sacrifice this guy's Soul to you."

"His Soul alone can replace the souls of ten thousand people."

Jack the Ripper pointed at Ye Bai.

"Oh, an interesting Soul. Although his Soul is relatively weak, it has a sense of tenacity. I accept this condition."

"Nightmare Domain."

Black ripples radiated from the scissors, reflecting off Jack the Ripper.

Ye Bai truly felt a wave of drowsiness surging into his mind; his eyelids were fighting each other, and he was about to lose consciousness.

"Not good, this must be the so-called Nightmare Domain, which forces people or Exotic Beasts into a state of deep sleep."

"Could this Jack the Ripper's ability be like Freddy's, capable of entering dreams to inflict harm?"

Ye Bai resisted the drowsiness and summoned Dahui and the Nether Wolf to protect him.

"Dahui, Nether Wolf, Guard my safety."

Just as Ye Bai finished saying this, he fell into an eternal dream.

He felt his body like a cloud, light and airy, falling from the sky.

He did not know how long he had drifted, but he finally landed here from the sky.

This was a river filled with magma, covered in demon eggs.

Lesser demons raised their steel forks, chanting the name of a god.

"Great God of Slaughter, Lord Jack, please grant us the power of slaughter."

Beams of black light fell from the sky, and the original lesser demons underwent earth-shaking changes under the baptism of the black light.

Massive horns grew out, and the steel forks in their hands also underwent earth-shaking changes.

Ye Bai discovered that his hands were pitch black at this moment, covered in mud.

He looked at the reflection in the Styx Water and discovered he had turned into a lesser demon.

At this moment, a dazed-looking lesser demon looked over, and Ye Bai recognized at a glance that this guy was the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

All around were statues of gods with unclear features, appearing quite Weird.

If Ye Bai had not awakened the Truth Eye, he might have been deceived by the power of the Nightmare World.

The Domain that Jack the Ripper was so proud of had nowhere to hide under the Truth Eye.

The entire world was illusory and ethereal; as long as Ye Bai believed in his heart that this was a fake world, then everything existing in this world could not cause him any harm.

Once someone believed this was a real world, the damage they received in the Nightmare World would also be inflicted upon their physical body.

"Myriad-Change Butterfly, this is the world of the Nightmare."

"However, it doesn't matter. In this world, as long as your imagination is rich enough, you can break this world."

"Just treat this place as a giant piece of bread and devour it."

That was how Ye Bai enticed the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly was currently in the Nightmare World, its consciousness not very clear, but it seemed very interested in this world.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly opened its sharp mouth and bit down fiercely on the ground, actually devouring this patch of ground completely.

It seemed to still be wanting more.

Ye Bai grinned, raised his weak fist, and swung it heavily at the ground.

With a loud 'Crack!', the lesser demons that had been pouncing over vanished into thin air.

The entire world was like a mirror, shattering with a 'Boom—'.

After the world was destroyed, Ye Bai found himself wearing a school uniform, walking on the street.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly was no longer by his side; he seemed to have returned to Blue Star, to that era without beast taming.

"Don't lie to me, this world is fake, it is not my true self. You mimicked it well, almost considering every detail."

"But you forgot one point: the Nightmare must first be able to deceive me."

"If you cannot even deceive me, this Nightmare World is completely and utterly fake."

Ye Bai imagined it, and a pair of angel wings appeared behind him; he flapped his wings and soared into the sky.

"Jack the Ripper, you had better bring out some real skills."

"You are Tier 6, and I am also Tier 6; it is not yet certain who will win."

Ye Bai's voice echoed in the air.

Huge ripples appeared in the space.

"Honestly, I am quite curious how you discovered my flaw, when I clearly wove this world according to the memories in your mind."

At this moment, a Jack appeared with twelve blade-wings covering his back.

He wore an exquisite crown on his head and held the Scepter of the Supreme God in his hand.

"In my Nightmare World, I am the Nightmare Lord, I am the only Zhengshen, and having lost your Pet Beast, you are nothing but a pathetic little worm."

"I will cast your Soul into Hell, to be scorched by the fires of Hell for all eternity, until you are finally reduced to ashes."

"I wonder if you are satisfied with this ending."

Ye Bai nodded: "I am quite satisfied with this ending, after all, this is a death trap you designed yourself."

"I will follow your request and fulfill your wish, don't thank me too much."

The exasperated Jack brandished the Scepter in his hand.

Black flames shot up into the sky, enveloping Ye Bai's body, attempting to burn Ye Bai into charcoal.

Soon, the flames burned Ye Bai into a black skull, but Ye Bai did not care.

Because all of this was fake; in the Nightmare World, as long as one is not timid and believes that all of this is false, one will not be harmed by the power of the Nightmare, and consequently, the physical body will not suffer harm either.

In the real world, Dahui and the Nether Wolf looked at the Headless Knight in unison.

At this time, more and more Headless Knights walked out.

They were all summoned by the Headless Knight riding the bone horse before them.

Dahui gripped the Thunder Axe and swung it fiercely.

Thunder Light erupted, and a violent thunder dragon crashed straight into the Headless Knights, blasting them away directly.

The Headless Knights were hit by the Thunder Light, and their bodies scattered in mid-air.

But these scattered remains were connected back together in mid-air by strands of Soul Fire. They were resurrected once again.

The Nether Wolf, however, hid its body in the shadows; wherever it passed, the Headless Knights fell into the shadows.

One could only hear the sound of *crack, crack* coming from the shadows, and tattered armor emerged from the shadows, falling onto the ground.

The wailing Souls inside had already been devoured by the Nether Wolf.

The black Hell fire also used these Souls as fuel, subsequently burning them to nothingness.

The Nether Wolf treated these Headless Knights as food.

Yet the Headless Knight riding on the bone warhorse remained indifferent.

After all, in his eyes, these Headless Knights were merely inferior products, while he himself was an Exotic Beast truly created by a Demon God.

The number of Headless Knights gradually disappeared.

The Nether Wolf ate until its belly was round; it let out a huge burp, then stood guard beside the bodies of Ye Bai and the Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

The two of them were still in a deep sleep, but judging by their exceptionally relaxed expressions, they were not under much restraint.

As for this commander of the Headless Knights, it could be left to Dahui to contend with.

Dahui's strength was already infinitely close to the seventh rank, so contending with the Headless Knight commander was just right.

"You big gray rat, I didn't expect you to be able to use thunder-type skills."

Big gray rat? Are you talking about me?

Dahui pointed at himself with a naive look.

"If I'm not talking about you, then who am I talking about, big gray rat."

After hearing the Headless Knight's snide remarks, Dahui immediately grinned.

Very well, so you think I can't draw my blade anymore, huh.

Very well, I will definitely beat you into scrap metal.

Dahui held the Thunder Axe high and slashed fiercely toward the Headless Knight commander.

The bone warhorse leaped high, jumping suddenly into mid-air to avoid Dahui's attack.

The Thunder Axe struck the ground heavily, and endless thunder spread out in all directions.

Dahui's eyes widened; this Headless Knight commander actually avoided his attack?

How is that possible?

"Haha, you big gray rat can't hit me, can you."

"Let me tell you, the warhorse under my command can sense the aura of various creatures and then avoid attacks."

"You can attack all you want, but your attacks cannot affect me."

The Headless Knight mocked coldly.

He only had one weakness, and that was his head; as long as his head had no problems, there would be no impact at all.

However, the Headless Knight hadn't been happy for long before his head flew backward into the air.

Only then did he discover that his head was actually being held in the mouth of the Nether Wolf.

Taking advantage of the time he was protesting to the big gray rat, the Nether Wolf had secretly launched a sneak attack and knocked his head flying.

"I protest, you counting this as a sneak attack, I refuse to accept this, I refuse."

The Headless Knight protested loudly, but the protest was invalid.

Seeing the Nether Wolf open its Blood Basin Mouth and bite down hard, one could only hear a *crack* sound as the Headless Knight's head was bitten directly into pieces.

Its massive Soul was like jelly, devoured completely by the Nether Wolf.

Andras could feel that the Exotic Beast he had created had suddenly died.

Just as he was about to investigate, other movements suddenly came from the blood-colored altar.

"Damn it, this blood-colored altar is making quite a stir, attracting other Demon Gods."

"Forget it, eliminating a sixth-rank Exotic Beast is not a difficult task; I will defeat the other Demon Gods first, then come back to deal with these invading rats."

"Furthermore, I have strengthened the three eye-points of the blood-colored altar; an ordinary Tier 7 Beast Tamer simply does not have the ability to break these eye-points."

In the eyes of Andras, the mission of preventing the Demon God from entering Tianquan City was still more important.

He did not want his base of operations to be snatched away by another Demon God; Andras would be stifled to death if that happened.

Nightmare World.

The attacks of Jack the Ripper had not the slightest effect on Ye Bai.

"Damn it, why do you have no Fearless toward these illusions?"

Jack the Ripper said through gritted teeth.

Just at this moment, the sound of crunching and swallowing came from afar.

A butterfly of immense size was crunching and gnawing away at the entire Nightmare World.

It seemed to treat this place as something delicious.

"Damn it, this is not a place for you to gnaw on, get lost, get lost!"

A look of terror appeared in the eyes of Jack the Ripper.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly was devouring the laws of the Nightmare World.

With every part of the laws it devoured, the Myriad-Changing Butterfly condensed a portion of a Nightmare Domain.

There are two ways for a Pet Beast to break through from Tier 6 to Tier 7 and condense a Domain.

One way is to comprehend nature by oneself and condense one's own Domain.

Another way is to cannibalize the Domain of others and make what belongs to others one's own.

Jack the Ripper was created by the Demon God Andras; although it only had Tier 6 strength, it possessed a complete Nightmare Domain.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly, having been sucked into the Nightmare space, was currently undergoing a transformation at an extremely rapid speed.

Its speed in devouring the entire Nightmare space became faster and faster, and the Nightmare Domain was transforming within the body of the Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

Ye Bai also felt a massive amount of energy surging out from his body.

Jack the Ripper waved its magic staff, and countless sharp barbs fell from the sky, piercing through the Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

However, the Myriad-Changing Butterfly did not seem to care about these sharp barbs at all; instead, it treated the barbs as its own food and ate them with great relish.

Jack the Ripper's attack power became more and more violent, and its body also became increasingly illusory.

The Nightmare laws had actually been more than half devoured by the Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

In the end, Jack the Ripper simply vanished into thin air.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly, having eaten its fill, fell fast asleep.

The Nightmare Domain expanded, affecting the people and Exotic Beasts in the vicinity.

Almost at the same time, these people fell into an eternal sleep.

And the Myriad-Changing Butterfly became the emperor in control of everything.

The Soul of the White Bone Believer was sucked into the Nightmare Domain and used as a supplement for the Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

Its wings radiated a colorful luster, and it entered a deep-level transformation.

Ye Bai understood that the Myriad-Changing Butterfly was currently undergoing a transformation; once the Myriad-Changing Butterfly fully awakened, it would be the moment it transformed into a Tier 7 Pet Beast.

Once it broke through, Ye Bai would also officially step into Tier 7 and become a Tier 7 Beast Tamer.

Ye Bai woke up from his sleep and discovered that Dahui and the Nether Wolf had also been affected by the Nightmare Domain, falling into a deep slumber.

As the contractor of the Myriad-Changing Butterfly, he was naturally able to utilize a portion of its power; he pointed toward the direction where Dahui and the Nether Wolf were, and both Dahui and the Nether Wolf completely opened their eyes.

They were startled awake from their sleep.
