466: Abstract taboo world

At this moment, Thunder King Ye Leng had originally thought the Sheepskin Assassin could hold on for a while, allowing him to recover his combat strength.

But...

In his sight, useless was, after all, useless.

The Sheepskin Assassin was sent to Hell by Shen Bei's punch.

He painfully vomited blood, struggled to get up, and seeing this scene, his face immediately turned pale.

Shen Bei picked up a steel cable that had fallen after the Sheepskin Assassin's giant statue collapsed, and it extended out like an extra-long iron whip, striking Thunder King Ye Leng's back. The saw-like blade bit into his back, leaving it a bloody mess.

"Ah!" Lei Wang cried out in agony and fell to the ground again.

But he ultimately failed to run, instead crawling into a dense forest on all fours, like some disgusting insect.

Just now he was so fierce, yet once he fell into a life-or-death situation, he appeared as humble as an insect, which was truly astounding.

Seeing the dignified Eighth Rank Martial Warrior in such a ugly state, Shen Bei felt no self-satisfaction; instead, he felt disillusioned.

Shen Bei followed him into the dense forest. He hadn't run far, and seeing Shen Bei enter, he looked at Shen Bei in panic, emitting cries that couldn't even form coherent words.

Shen Bei paid no attention to this, leisurely approaching him.

The moon's silver glow shone from behind Shen Bei, and Shen Bei's shadow, like a tide, began from his feet, until it even submerged his terrified face.

"Don't come any closer!"

Finally, he frantically pulled out an ancient, crimson-surfaced lamp from his in my arms, which looked like an item from a subterranean cave, and aimed it at Shen Bei.

At this moment, Lei Wang's face was ferocious, seemingly filled with a strong emotion of wanting to drag Shen Bei to Hell, even if it meant mutual destruction: "Don't force me, or we'll both die a terrible death!"

Shen Bei naturally wouldn't be intimidated by Thunder King Ye Leng's harsh words; instead, he became interested: "If you have any other methods, feel free to use them. I want to make you completely despair before you can properly answer my questions."

"Then let's die together!"

Lei Wang's face turned ruthless, and the True Qi around his body was squeezed out, pouring into the blood-colored ancient lamp in his palm.

The next moment.

Whoosh~~~

Like a cold wind from an ancient ice cave blowing past, the surrounding trees seemed to begin to die.

The ancient lamp spontaneously ignited without fire, emitting a faint, eerie green light.

And in Shen Bei's vision, it was no longer the blackness of night, but a verdant green landscape.

It was like... a night vision device commonly used by the military.

The surrounding world became eerily spooky and quite bizarre.

Shen Bei had never seen, or even imagined, how there could be such filthy light, as if it were filled with maggots and mold, making one feel ill just by looking at it.

The changes were not limited to this; the scenery in Shen Bei's eyes also underwent terrifying transformations.

Strictly speaking, nothing had actually changed; the forest was still the same forest, its shape and color were original, but Shen Bei could not comfort himself with "no change."

If he had to choose a term from the vocabulary Shen Bei had learned in the past to describe the current situation, only "Gestalt Collapse" would be the most apt.

This term is used to describe the experience when a person stares at a word for a long time, and due to neuronal fatigue, they begin to doubt the shape of the word, feeling that the word has become unfamiliar.

And now, this experience was happening to everything Shen Bei saw.

At this moment, Shen Bei's world, under the shroud of "Gestalt Collapse," presented a fragmented appearance.

Perhaps the situation was too absurd; Shen Bei couldn't process the facts for a while, and even his fear was halfway blocked.

Shen Bei's body felt as if it were filled with lead; he could only stand, leaning on a tree trunk.

He only felt as if a tentacle, reaching in from who knows where, was stirring vigorously in his brain. It caused neither pain nor dizziness, but the "Gestalt Collapse" of the visual scene intensified, so much so that the entire world looked increasingly unfamiliar and bizarre.

Shen Bei looked up at the brightly lit urban area in the distance.

The streetlights on either side of the road looked exactly like giant, slender figures in black hooded robes, in a Western religious style, somehow giving off a terrifying Concept of monks. The nearby trees, on the other hand, resembled tombstones, exuding a deathly silence.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again. This time, the streetlights no longer looked "like giant monk-like streetlights," but rather "like streetlight-like giant monks." The faces of these "monks" were obscured by the shadows of their hoods, moving silently and incredibly slowly, passing through the "tombstones that resembled buildings" and heading into the distance, seemingly on a desperate pilgrimage.

Where were the "monks" ultimately going? Shen Bei felt an untimely curiosity, but when Shen Bei wanted to look in that direction, a strong fear inexplicably rose, telling him: Don't look!

Shen Bei suddenly realized that his consciousness was very likely gradually approaching some abstract Domain, a forbidden Domain for life!

The worst outcome would be for both his consciousness and physical body to be dragged into it, transforming into some inexplicable form of existence, continuing to exist in a state that he didn't know if it could still be considered alive.

Whoosh...

"What exactly is that ancient lamp, and why does it cause such terrifying effects?"

It was false to say Shen Bei wasn't bewildered.

Logically speaking, his Fifth Dimension mental resistance attribute was already maxed out.

This kind of abstract inner world should not be able to invade his Divine Sense.

But now, he was indeed affected.

One could only say that the blood-colored ancient lamp in Thunder King Ye Leng's hand was probably no ordinary item.

Its rank was very high.

Even in the subterranean cave, it must belong to the world "across the sea," right?

He couldn't think about these things for now.

Shen Bei naturally knew that he couldn't stay in this abstract forbidden Domain for too long.

He painstakingly closed his eyes, attempting to isolate himself from the bizarre world.

However, even the darkness after closing his eyes was incredibly bizarre under the influence of Gestalt Collapse, seemingly surging with countless ineffable, abstract anomalies.

Shen Bei felt that if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before he descended into madness.

He had to find a way to escape this predicament!

Just then, the imagined tentacle, which had been constantly stirring his brain tissue, suddenly paused, seeming somewhat puzzled, then quickly retracted.

Shen Bei involuntarily opened his eyes, and the scene before him had actually returned to normal. Shen Bei was back in his familiar world.

This phenomenon lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.

Whoosh...

"It's not very useful..." Shen Bei spread his hands.

Although he didn't know what that blood-colored ancient lamp was.

But now was the time for taunting; otherwise, Lei Wang's mental state would remain unyielding, and extracting information about the Mind's Eye Potion would still require effort to pry open his teeth.

However.

No response...

Only then did Shen Bei look towards Lei Wang's position.

It was then that he discovered a terrifying scene.

He saw that Thunder King Ye Leng's physical body began to melt, like a plastic bag burning in flames, gradually disappearing in the filthy green light. No, rather than disappearing, in Shen Bei's perception, it was more like being chewed and eaten into tiny pieces by the green light!

In just the blink of an eye, Thunder King Ye Leng's body completely vanished into the green light.

The ancient lamp also fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and its fire extinguished.

The surrounding world was once again invaded and covered by darkness.

But Shen Bei was no longer calm.

"Is this... dead, or did he escape?!"
