626: Chapter 624 Dreaming of the Dark Southwest

The existence of Xiao Luowei is an important way for Chu Xuan to understand the Cangyun World.

In these recent dreams, visiting Xiao Luowei before waking up every time has gradually become a habit.

Now, the random teleportation scroll seems to have completed its mission, leaving only the random teleportation function.

Chu Xuan could not help but ponder what key role these several encounters with Xiao Luowei in the dream would play in the upcoming mission to the Cangyun World.

Checking the time, there was still half an hour left before waking from the dream.

It was still early.

Chu Xuan stood atop Rongcheng.

About two hundred kilometers to the southwest, the boundless dark fog of The Gloom, connecting heaven and earth, surged and churned as if it were advancing toward this place.

In another direction, the large Dark Place in the central region was also not far from Rongcheng.

Caught between these two areas of The Gloom, this once prosperous city was now desolate, with a large portion of its population having relocated.

A faint, ethereal summons emerged in his heart.

It seemed that something in those two Dark Places was attracting him, but at the same time, it vaguely gave Chu Xuan a sense of palpitation.

With the improvement of his Mental Energy and the upgrade of [Killing Instinct], Chu Xuan's perception of danger became increasingly acute.

Especially regarding that central Dark Place, Chu Xuan instinctively felt some discomfort after just looking at it for a while.

Chu Xuan had always kept in mind the words of Yang Yu and Future Tang Zheng: never enter a large Dark Place, as the battlefield there did not belong to him.

"Perhaps I can take advantage of the fact that I am in a dream right now to go and investigate..." Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and headed toward the southwest.

A few minutes later, Chu Xuan was already a few hundred meters outside the dark fog of the southwest.

Chu Xuan did not act immediately.

Instead, he first spent 15,000 spirituality value to exchange for 15 real attributes, then added 1 rule fragment, and applied them all to his stamina.

As a warm sensation spread throughout his body, about seven or eight minutes passed, and his real stamina finally reached 80 points.

[Remaining exchangeable real attributes: 19]

[Remaining spirituality value: 5270]

[Remaining rule fragments: 10]

"In this way, my defense has increased significantly, and my health points have also increased quite a bit. After I wake up from the dream, I can call Gaga Chicken to join me for Undergoing Tribulation."

Chu Xuan waited for a while longer.

When only one minute remained before waking from the dream, Chu Xuan left the indestructible flowing shadow outside, and then the Fire of Nirvana in his hand solidified, turning into a long blade.

Although this weapon formed from the solidified Fire of Nirvana was far inferior to the indestructible flowing shadow, it was barely sufficient.

Everything was ready, so Chu Xuan stepped forward and entered the dark fog of The Gloom.

In an instant, the world changed.

As he stepped into it, Chu Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Although his vision was obstructed here, he was still able to see clearly!

In this dense dark fog, the landscape was similar to the southwest land from before, but it seemed like a combination with another world.

Among the high mountains and lofty ridges, man-made roads wound everywhere, and within them, strange buildings that looked like they were cast from bones stood scattered about, piercing straight into the sky.

Above the horizon, a blood-colored river with no visible end hung upside down.

This blood river was faint and indistinct, appearing illusory, yet it was incomparably real, and a long, strange song seemed to drift over.

In the far distance, a vine shot up into the sky, connecting with the blood river hanging upside down above.

Chu Xuan had no time to examine this strange scene in detail.

Because at the very moment he stepped into this Dark Place.

Countless strange and oddly shaped Strange Creaturess emerged from the mountains and forests, from the strange buildings, from the blood river in the sky, and from countless other places, roaring as they rushed toward him.

Some of these Strange Creaturess still carried slight human features and even wore modern clothing, but most of them resembled reptile monsters.

"A human, it is a human from that world!"

"This human's body is mine. As long as I occupy his body, I can go to that world filled with infinite beauty..."

They were excited, greedy, and roaring.

The Fire of Nirvana instantly rose more than three meters high outside Chu Xuan's body, enveloping him entirely.

An indescribable excitement and desire for slaughter filled his heart.

"So... that which was attracting me was these Strange Creaturess?"

A murderous glint flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes. Instead of retreating, he advanced. As he swung his long blade repeatedly, a dozen monsters were instantly incinerated by the Fire of Nirvana.

"A Purifier! This is a Purifier!"

A high-pitched, excited roar suddenly rang out from the distance, and he saw a bone giant as tall as a ten-story building crawl out from the mountain col ahead.

It leaped up, spanning thousands of meters, and opened its huge mouth toward Chu Xuan. As a gale swept through, it sucked countless rocks and trees into its mouth.

Chu Xuan's gaze hardened. He suddenly raised his hand and unleashed the Divine Ability [Three Mountains Suppressing the Peak].

In an instant, a three-hundred-meter-high mountain peak materialized and crashed down, smashing the bone giant and dozens of surrounding monsters to pieces.

[Your spirituality value + 3980]

"A Purifier! I have felt the God's mandatory kill order..."

From all directions, more monsters surged over like a tide, acting as if they had gone mad.

Around Chu Xuan, cracks flashed, and Strange Creaturess continuously squeezed out from them, filling the surrounding area in the blink of an eye.

"Slash!"

Chu Xuan did not hesitate. The 100 Slashes he had accumulated within his body roared instantly, sweeping and flying out to cover the sky.

The sound of clanging rang out!

At this moment, with Chu Xuan as the center, Sword Qi crisscrossed, whipping up a storm of Slashes, instantly clearing the area within a radius of over a thousand meters.

However, before Chu Xuan could catch his breath.

In the dense forest in the distance, those reptile-like Strange Creaturess seemed endless, and all around him, more cracks flashed into existence.

Besides this, an immensely grand voice came from the horizon:

"Mine..."

As this voice sounded, it was as if a tremendous pressure had descended, and the surrounding monsters instantly trembled and prostrated themselves.

Chu Xuan's heart palpitated. He looked up abruptly and saw a monster with fleshy wings on its back, a humanoid lower body, but a head that looked eighty percent like a bat, falling and flying down from the blood river in the sky.

Upon leaving the blood river, the monster instantly grew to block out the sky and sun. It opened a ghastly mouth, filled with complex, sharp teeth, as if it intended to devour the heavens and the earth.

An incomparable sense of palpitation welled up in his heart.

A long-lost feeling of coldness and fear emerged, and even with the [Forbidden Darkness] skill, which could increase resistance to the intrusion of The Gloom by 100 times,

he still could not fully resist when facing this monster.

At this moment, Chu Xuan almost felt as if he were back in the Tianxing Sea Area, facing the Dragon Turtle infected by the strange corruption together with Tan Ziming and the others.

But the difference was that Chu Xuan's current strength was far beyond what it was back then—by how much, he did not know.

Almost at the same time, Chu Xuan suddenly discovered that he had lost control of his body, and the Fire of Nirvana around him surged again.

The long blade in his hand had unknowingly transformed into a long spear, pitch-black and covered in golden patterns.

"That consciousness has appeared again..."

Chu Xuan immediately realized this. He could not control himself; in one bow-step and a raise of his hand, he had already thrown the long spear in his hand upward.

The long spear streaked across the sky, directly piercing through the giant bat's head.

A long, shrieking roar resounded through heaven and earth!
