145: Dream Pattern Clan, that's it?

The sound didn't seem like a battle; it was more like a creature encountering a great terror, howling madly.

Han Lie didn't hesitate.

He rushed over from that direction.

“Hey…”

Liu Ruyan called out, wanting Han Lie to slow down, as the sound triggered some bad memories for her. But he was too fast, so she had no choice but to follow.

As he got closer,

Han Lie saw a Demon Race member, likely from the Tiger clan, lying on the ground, rolling back and forth, eyes tightly shut, as if suffering from immense stimulation.

“?”

Han Lie scanned the area but found no other Ten Thousand Races attacking him. Searching his memories, he couldn't find any race whose attack methods matched this situation.

“Meng Wen Race!!”

“He's being attacked by the Meng Wen Race!!”

Just then, Liu Ruyan's voice came from beside him, very urgent.

“Han Lie, get away from him quickly!!”

“Why?”

Han Lie was unfazed. He squatted down, continuing to observe the tiger plagued by nightmares. He had never seen such a peculiar race.

But then again,

the Universe of Myriad Races isn't just a rough number; there truly are, perhaps even more than ten thousand races. This Universe is so peculiar, with so many strange races.

Furthermore, Space-Time Explorers, or the mysterious rules associated with Universe Mystic Realms, constantly lead people to discover more remote interstellar planets and find more unique races. Thus, new things, new worlds, new rules, and new ethnic groups are discovered every moment.

Speaking of which,

to the Universe of Myriad Races, wasn't Blue Star a newly discovered mysterious planet a thousand years ago?

Han Lie was purely curious.

Just by the name of this race, he knew it must be related to dreams. But if they had no physical form, how could one fight back?

In a dream?

My dream, my rules?

While Han Lie was still a curious baby, Liu Ruyan beside him was frantic. “Han Lie, don't go near him! It looks like he's about to die. Once he dies, the Meng Wen Race's virus will infect you, and then you'll also have nightmares—no, that's more than just nightmares!!”

“You've experienced it?” Han Lie asked.

“No… I just heard about it from others!” Liu Ruyan had a very wary expression. “I heard that the Meng Wen Race will find the weakest part of your soul, the most regrettable thing in your past twenty years, and dig deep into the memories you most unwillingly face, then exaggerate and intensify them, displaying them to you through dreams!! He will break you!!”

“? Oh, that amazing?”

Han Lie smiled nonchalantly. “It's fine, I have an iron will!!”

“You… you…”

Liu Ruyan shook her head. “Please, I'm begging you, too many people have died at his hands…”

“Then I definitely can't leave!”

Han Lie smiled. “I'm not very satisfied with the current speed of territory expansion. I just ran into a big landlord, so why would I leave? You said that after this tiger dies, the Meng Wen Race will attach itself to me, right? Good!”

At this point,

Han Lie suddenly picked up his knife and directly cut off the tiger demon's head, then grinned. “Come on!”

................

“—Whoosh!”

Han Lie inexplicably heard a sound. This sound seemed not to come from this world, nor from the five senses; it was as if his soul had been invaded. He thought, 'This is something!'

This instantly breached all his defenses, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He slightly tilted his head.

“How long until it takes effect?”

“Very soon!!”

Liu Ruyan's expression changed dramatically. She had already guessed that Han Lie was infected with the dream virus, so should she stay here?

Damn it!!

Why didn't he listen to me?

The strong backing she just found, is it about to break?

Should I play it safe and return to the main group? Although those ten thousand people are all useless, when danger comes, even the weakest can buy some time. And now, Han Lie has been infected with the dream virus. If he dies, she'll be next.

What to do, what to do!!

Liu Ruyan was in a difficult dilemma.

Meanwhile, Han Lie was performing an inner inspection.

“Where did it hide?”

Are there truly races in this Universe that ignore rules, have no physical form, and cannot even be captured by energy?

Then wouldn't he be invincible?

Probably not.

“It's just hiding too deeply!”

Han Lie knew that as a mere Rank Four, he couldn't truly block all attacks. In the face of mysterious attack methods, he was actually full of holes.

..............

Little did he know,

while Han Lie was trying to capture the opponent, the Meng Wen Race hiding inside Han Lie's body was undergoing an unprecedented shock!!

“Is this Human?”

“This is also Human?”

“Then what were those I encountered before? Why is the strength gap so enormous, it's no exaggeration to say it's heaven and earth. Aren't they all Human Rank Three? How is the difference greater than between a Human and a dog?!!”

“Is this Human?”

The Meng Wen Race moved through Han Lie's body in a peculiar way, and then he discovered more profound mysteries.

Han Lie had a physical advantage that crushed the Ten Thousand Races.

And, his soul protection was terrifyingly strong!!

His entire body had countless defensive measures, like an impenetrable city wall. Was this truly Human?

This was several times more terrifying than all the Universe of Myriad Races he had ever parasitized. Moreover, he found that his energy circulation was abnormally blocked, influenced by something unknown.

“Too terrifying!!”

“This body!!”

“Fortunately, as a newly discovered unique race, they don't understand my attack method and can't defend against it. I managed to slip in so easily!!”

“Let me see what your greatest fear is!!!”

................

What was Han Lie's greatest fear?

Probably,

his cheat being discovered.

“—Thump!”

Just as he was thinking, a laser beam suddenly shot from deep within his soul. In an unknown dark corner of his body, something seemed to be hiding, and the next second it was shot through.

And on Han Lie's side,

a large surge of vital energy suddenly appeared in his body. At the same time, his soul was nourished, his spirit replenished, and he felt extremely comfortable all over.

Then,

the occupied territory suddenly expanded by nearly double. He thought it must be that the thing that drilled into his body had died?

Huh? Died?

Although he found this matter absurd, there was no better explanation. But how did it die? Was it scared to death after discovering his deepest fear?

“Ah, this…”

Han Lie quickly accepted all this, while Liu Ruyan was still struggling. Before she could make a decision, he patted her arm.

“Let's go, it's resolved!”

“Re… resolved?”

Liu Ruyan was stunned. She observed carefully and indeed, Han Lie showed no abnormalities. In contrast, those who had been parasitized in the past would already be dreaming and trembling with fear at this point.

“Why are you fine?”

“Do you think I should be in trouble?”

“....This!”

Liu Ruyan thought to herself, she hadn't considered that Han Lie could resolve the issue, but she had imagined him using an unyielding martial arts conviction to face all fears and break through them.

This wasn't baseless speculation. The clever Liu Ruyan realized: why did the Meng Wen Race flee before? It was because someone had the resolve to die, determined to take him down with them. So, Liu Ruyan guessed that this Meng Wen Race member must still be hidden inside a Human body, and he was also afraid of death, which proved that his methods weren't invincible; otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced into a situation of mutual destruction.

So what the hell was this now?

Han Lie just casually resolved it?

“What did you do?” she wanted to ask.

No one knew what happened, and the audience outside the camera knew even less. They only knew that Han Lie's territory was so vast that it was now more appropriate to call it a dominion.

It was now the size of a fist.

Compared to others, the largest territory currently was only the size of a fingernail.

His dominion was astonishingly large.
