215: Chapter 215 The Great Terror Deep Within the Nightmare: He Is Awakening
For a moment, it wasn't just the Wisdom Puppet Demigod.
The Flesh and Blood Royal Court and the Decaying Abyss in the distance, as well as several other demigods hiding in the shadows...
...all reached a certain eerie understanding.
They withdrew their gazes, no longer staring at Lin Chuan.
However, Lin Chuan had no intention of letting it go.
Using his 360-degree omniscient perspective, he deadlocked onto the Wisdom Puppet Demigod, who was currently repairing itself.
A mid-tier demigod—if he could devour it...
...it would be worth more than the dozen or so high sovereigns he had just devoured!
"Om, Ma..."
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan raised his Buddha Hand, prepared to completely obliterate this Wisdom Puppet Demigod with a single strike!
But before his rules could spread...
...an arm with a dark gold hue, covered in ancient totem patterns, reached out from the Void Realm without warning.
This arm seemed slow, yet it carried an indescribable power of Law that felt as if it could bring the entire world to its end.
It gently blocked Lin Chuan's rules and Laws!
Rumble!!!
Two supreme powers collided in mid-air.
Lin Chuan's Buddha Hand was actually held in mid-air by this dark gold arm, unable to descend even a fraction further!
"Hmm?"
Bloodlight surged in Lin Chuan's Buddha Eyes as the Eye of True Sight activated instantly.
[Warning! Top-tier Demigod!]
Before Lin Chuan could see through the opponent's true nature, the system panel had already issued a warning.
In front of Lin Chuan, the Void Realm rippled like water.
An extremely eerie figure slowly emerged.
This demigod appeared in human form, looking like an extremely ancient tribal leader.
He was dark gold all over, his skin branded with countless taboo totems representing "finality" and "death."
What made one's scalp crawl the most...
...was that where his hair should have been, hundreds of vertical eyes were densely packed, constantly opening and closing, dripping with dark gold blood!
[Target information analyzed!]
[Name: Apocalypse Demigod!]
[Rank: Top-tier Demigod (Suspected remnant of an ancient Fallen God)!]
[taboo sequence: 29!]
[Core Law: Finality!]
"A top-tier demigod in the top thirty of the sequence..."
Lin Chuan felt a surge of extreme vigilance in his heart.
The pressure of the Law emitted by this Apocalypse Demigod was even purer and more ancient than that of Izanami's Yang face!
Especially the prompt on the system panel about being a "suspected remnant of an ancient Fallen God," which made Lin Chuan not dare to be the least bit careless.
"Outsider."
The Apocalypse Demigod slowly withdrew that dark gold arm.
The hundreds of eyes on his head stared at Lin Chuan simultaneously, each reflecting the ultimate scene of the world's destruction.
His voice was grand and ancient, permeated with an irreversible supreme divinity.
"Put away your killing intent."
"Are you also here to lay hands on the supreme magic cube?"
In the gaze of the Apocalypse Demigod, there was neither hostility nor kindness, only endless indifference.
It was as if to him, all things in the world were but dust on the ground, tiny and meaningless.
Lin Chuan did not answer the question directly.
"The Cube—this seat is naturally interested."
Lin Chuan's voice was cold and eerie, like the whispers of the abyss.
"But what this seat is more interested in is its true... purpose?"
Hearing Lin Chuan's counter-question, the hundreds of eyes on the Apocalypse Demigod's head blinked in unison.
He did not hide anything, for in his view, such information was hardly a secret among top-tier existences.
"It is the only... key that can allow us to escape our predetermined fate."
When speaking of the supreme magic cube's purpose, a trace of unconcealable fear and despair appeared in the Apocalypse Demigod's voice for the first time.
"The world we are in is but a dream and a bubble."
"When the dream finally awakens!"
"When the master of the dream opens His eyes, everything in His dream... will also turn into nothingness."
Lin Chuan listened quietly.
"From that supreme magic cube, we caught a glimpse of the future."
The Apocalypse Demigod continued, each sentence exploding in Lin Chuan's mind like a thunderclap.
"In less than one 'Aeon Day'..."
"...that existence in the deepest part of the Nightmare... is about to fully awaken."
"At that time, whether demigods, Fallen Gods, or even Weird Gods..."
"...all will vanish into nothingness in this 'Guixu'!"
One "Aeon Day."
That was an extremely ancient time unit in the Nightmare World, roughly equivalent to a hundred years in the Real World.
A hundred years!
For existences like demigods with nearly infinite lifespans, a hundred years was but the blink of an eye!
So, this was what that Mysterious Old Man meant by... "Guixu is coming"!
Lin Chuan sighed softly in his heart!
At this moment, he only felt an inexplicable chill enveloping his entire body!
While Lin Chuan was thinking, the Apocalypse Demigod continued to murmur:
"And that supreme magic cube is the only coordinate that can guide us to escape this dream and head towards the True Realm!"
As the Apocalypse Demigod said this, a burst of extremely fanatical light suddenly erupted from the hundreds of eyes on his head.
This light was actually identical to the greed Lin Chuan had produced when he almost lost control earlier!
But in the next second...
...the Apocalypse Demigod shuddered, and an extremely ancient Law permeated with the aura of a Fallen God burst out from his body.
This Law forcibly pulled him back from that fanatical state of losing control!
Clearly, he could break free from the rule pollution of the supreme magic cube!
"Enough!"
The Apocalypse Demigod let out a roar that shook the entire core area of the Nightmare.
His voice carried the unquestionable pressure of a top-tier demigod, echoing directly into the depths of the other five Demigod Domains!
"Stop this meaningless slaughter!"
"Flesh and Blood Royal Court! Decaying Abyss!"
"Even if you exhaust the foundations of your own domains, you cannot unlock the secrets of the Cube alone!"
Following the Apocalypse Demigod's angry shout...
...the two great Demigod Domains that were still fighting fiercely instantly came to a halt.
Countless flesh-and-blood behemoths and armies of bone began to retreat.
The core area of the Third Layer of the Nightmare World fell into an extremely eerie dead silence.
All the demigods turned their gazes toward this most ancient Apocalypse Demigod.
"Not long ago, I have already found..."
The Apocalypse Demigod looked around, his voice grand like a bell.
"I have already found the method to perfectly unlock the secrets of the supreme magic cube!"
As soon as these words were spoken...
...not only the high sovereigns hidden in the shadows, but even Lin Chuan felt an extremely strong fluctuation of Law coming from the other Demigod Domains.
It was the uncontrollable excitement and longing of those demigods!
"I can lead you."
The Apocalypse Demigod's voice was filled with absolute confidence.
"Leave this soon-to-collapse Third Layer and Fourth Layer of the Nightmare World..."
"...and head toward that eternally immortal... True Realm!"
In an instant, the surroundings fell silent.
All the demigods were frantically weighing the truth of these words.
Meanwhile, Lin Chuan stood quietly in the Void Realm, watching indifferently.
He would never easily believe the promise of any demigod, especially one involving the ultimate secrets of the world.
"Three days later."
The Apocalypse Demigod ignored the silence of the gods and directly issued his final ultimatum.
"I will be at the Temple of Finality, awaiting your arrival."
"At that time, I will tell you all the methods to unlock the secrets of the Cube."
"And..."
The Apocalypse Demigod's gaze took a meaningful look at Lin Chuan.
"...more of the truth regarding the True Realm."
The voice faded.
The dark gold body of the Apocalypse Demigod, covered in eyes, slowly dissipated in the Void Realm like bubbles.
Only a chilling aura of Law remained, echoing for a long time in this chaotic Star Domain.
