Chapter 1080: Ghost Nightmare Entering Dreams
"Ghost?"
Luo Chen frowned slightly, staring quietly outside the door.
I don't know when, but threads of blood had already covered the whites of his eyes.
Spiritual sense couldn't be used, and magic power was gone, but that didn't mean his eyes were "blind."
After hundreds of years of nourishment, the Red-Eye Golden Pupils had already been completed, and they could be activated with source power.
A pair of scarlet eyes looked through the door and window at the outside. Under the night curtain, the heavy rain made it impossible to see external objects, but the feeling that made Luo Chen quite uncomfortable still existed.
"What exactly is peeking in the dark?"
Luo Chen's heart moved, and he mobilized more source power to gather in his eyes again.
Gradually, silhouettes vaguely appeared in the wind and rain.
This silhouette wasn't fixed, sometimes like a human, sometimes like a beast, and more often it drifted into smoke, blending with the rain vapor, making it difficult to detect.
It wandered outside the door, seeming to want to break in, but was blocked by something, appearing anxious and uneasy.
Luo Chen instinctively looked at the fire pit in the room, where the green smoke emitted by the burning Dream Stone was permeating.
"Strange objects that come with the Ghost Rain, but are blocked by the green smoke emitted by the burning Dream Stone. What exactly are they?"
Luo Chen was curious and stood up.
At the door, Luo Chen hesitated for a moment and took the Broken-Phase Green Lamp.
He had nothing on him, and no matter how bold he was, this was the Great Destruction Realm he wasn't familiar with, so he had to be careful.
And this Broken-Phase Green Lamp was a top-grade magic treasure, and it could be activated with blood energy.
A strand of blood energy was injected into it, and green light suddenly lit up.
Carrying the green lamp, Luo Chen opened the door and walked out.
The moment he came out, the ghostly thing in the rain curtain couldn't wait to rush up, but when it got close, it was blocked by the yang-strong strength energy that had already spread all over his body.
Luo Chen used the light of the magic treasure lamp to observe the green smoke lingering all over his body, a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he were looking for the corresponding existence in his memory.
Gradually, a look of suspicion appeared in Luo Chen's eyes.
"Could it really be that thing in the legend?"
The next moment!
Luo Chen's yang-strong strength energy revealed a gap, letting the ghostly thing pounce on him.
In an instant, Luo Chen's body stiffened, as if he were pressed by something, but his eyes remained bright.
After a while, Luo Chen's blood energy suddenly expanded, and the thing that had just pounced in was washed away by the strong blood energy.
Vaguely, Luo Chen seemed to hear a scream.
Under the rain curtain, Luo Chen stood under the eaves with the lamp, a look of sudden realization on his face.
"So it really is this thing!"
Through his personal experience just now, Luo Chen had verified a record in his memory. The strange thing just now was exactly a kind of ghost called "Ghost Nightmare."
This thing was very rare, but legends about Ghost Nightmares had long been circulating in the world.
Ghost Nightmare, also known as Nightmare!
This was a ghost that had no actual form but truly existed.
It was as famous as the ghosts and monsters.
But for the Mountain Sea World, this thing only existed in legends and was rarely encountered.
The reason was that the Ghost Nightmare's feeding was through invading the dreams of living beings, making people fall into anxiety, uneasiness, and even anger and fear, and many negative emotions, until they finally sank into nightmares and couldn't wake up, and the Ghost Nightmare could take the opportunity to feed on the pure soul power of living beings. But the Mountain Sea World was a world dominated by immortal cultivators. Not to mention powerful Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul experts, even the weakest Qi Refining stage cultivators had already begun to condense their souls, and by the Foundation Establishment stage, they could even project their spiritual awareness out of their bodies to reflect the surroundings and avoid all evils.
In that environment, Ghost Nightmares couldn't survive at all!
Even if ordinary mortals occasionally encountered Ghost Nightmares, they were just the weakest Ghost Nightmares, and those with slightly firm minds or even those who were a bit clear-headed could wake up from nightmares. After waking up, they would at most be afraid and say "ghost pressing the bed," and their spirit wouldn't be lost much.
Over time, Ghost Nightmares, which lacked food, only existed in legends.
To put it jokingly, this peculiar existence of Ghost Nightmare had no soil for survival and was starved to death.
The reason Luo Chen knew about this was that when he was refining the Dust Fate Immortal Mirror, he learned a large number of formations related to illusions and dreams, which gave him this knowledge reserve.
He didn't expect to encounter a real Ghost Nightmare in this place, the Great Destruction Realm.
Although there was only one, and it was equally weak.
The little interest that had just risen disappeared in an instant.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen carried the green lamp and was about to return to the room.
But his footsteps stopped in mid-air the moment he pushed open the door, and a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his mind.
"According to Jing Lan, whenever the Ghost Rain comes, the villagers will light the stored Dream Stones. It seems that this is clearly specifically used to guard against Ghost Nightmares."
"Such traditional customs weren't formed overnight; it must be because someone had been tricked long ago, had their dreams eroded by Ghost Nightmares, and had their soul power swallowed."
"In other words, there must be a large number of Ghost Nightmares appearing with the Ghost Rain in this Great Destruction Realm."
"And in this world, immortal cultivators cannot survive for long, so naturally, there is no situation of grinding and crushing Ghost Nightmares with powerful soul power. Even if there are powerful body cultivators, they mostly use vigorous blood energy and powerful will for passive defense."
"In this way, over time, will powerful and ancient Ghost Nightmares be born?"
Thinking of this, the eyes of Luo Chen, which had already dimmed, flashed with a trace of essence.
A hypothesis jumped into his heart!
Back then, in order to refine the true treasure Dust Fate Immortal Mirror, the purpose was to let Cang Long strengthen her soul foundation in her sleep so that she could break the seal by herself.
Therefore, Luo Chen consulted a large number of formation classics related to illusions and dreams.
And in the knowledge he obtained, it was mentioned that the Ghost Nightmare was most suitable for setting up dreams and most suitable for breaking soul seals!
After all, this thing itself fed on the soul power of living beings.
At that time, Luo Chen didn't care about the latter, because he himself had a powerful soul and was also good at breaking soul seals.
But now...
Luo Chen's spiritual sense couldn't be used, and his powerful soul foundation was useless, all because his main soul was sealed by Yuanjun Qixia.
With his own power, it was very difficult to break Yuanjun Qixia's soul seal, after all, the other party was an unparalleled existence in the Void Refinement stage at her peak.
The sealing of the main soul caused a series of chain reactions.
The most intuitive thing was that even if Luo Chen could transform blood energy into a small amount of magic power, without the assistance of spiritual sense, he still couldn't open the storage ring.
But if he could use a large number of or powerful Ghost Nightmares to forcibly break Yuanjun Qixia's soul seal, then his soul could escape the cage!
Even if the Great Destruction Realm had the Soul-Dashing Thunder Sound to deter immortal cultivators, with spiritual sense, there would still be more things Luo Chen could do.
For example, opening the storage ring and taking out some materials inside.
For example, using spiritual sense to reflect on his body and assist in body cultivation.
Or even deducing cultivation techniques, understanding the essence of this world, etc.
After all, spiritual sense just couldn't leave the body, but it could still be used inside the body.
Luo Chen's thoughts were messy, and his thoughts kept surging.
"Mm..."
A sleep-talking sound came from the room, seemingly because some cold wind blew in through the open door, making the sleeping woman feel a bit cold.
Luo Chen looked at the pitch-black night, his eyes flashing with essence, and finally returned to calm.
"No hurry, take it step by step!"
He returned to the room, closed the door and windows tightly, and returned to cultivation, as if nothing had happened. ===== CHAPTER 1083 =====
