Hunting in the wasteland, the array base begins to take shape.

The night was like ink, the wilderness deathly silent. Nightmare restrained his aura to the extreme, his figure blending into the darkness like a ghost sweeping across the ground, speeding toward the northwest direction guided by the fragment.

The Chaos Seed rotated slowly, continuously converting the thin, deathly energy to replenish the minor consumption from the recent battle at the Ghost Market.

The incomplete coordinate location was clearly imprinted in his mind; it was about two hundred miles from Qingyang City, located in a treacherous place called the "Black Wind Gobi."

According to the elder from the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion, that was one of the source areas for this beast tide anomaly.

As soon as he left the city, Nightmare sensed several obscure mental scans sweeping across the wilderness from different directions like an invisible spiderweb, clearly the warning line set up by the Eshi Yue Organization.

Relying on the Chaos Seed's perfect simulation and control of aura, as well as the subtle distortion of space by the void lotus seed's charm, he wove through the gaps in this warning net like a fish, without being immediately detected.

However, the reaction speed of the Eshi Yue Organization far exceeded his expectations.

Just as he had traveled about fifty miles from Qingyang City and entered a hilly area with jagged rocks, an alarm suddenly rang out!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three arrows wrapped in dark energy, trailing miserable green light at their tails, shot out from the rock pile on the front side in a triangular formation without warning. The angle was tricky, sealing off his space for charging forward and dodging left or right!

The speed of the arrows was astonishing, far exceeding the reaction limit of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the energy attached to them carried strong corrosion and Divine Soul locking effects!

A Golden Core Cultivator! And a Golden Core Cultivator skilled in concealment and long-range sniping!

The interception from the Eshi Yue Organization had arrived!

Nightmare was ice-cold. The moment the arrows broke through the air, he had already locked onto a grey-clothed archer lurking on top of a giant rock a hundred feet away!

This person's aura was condensed, like a hawk; it was the Early Golden Core Stage leader who had besieged him at the Ghost Market before! He had actually circled around here in advance to set an ambush!

Dodging was already too late!

Nightmare invoked the Chaos Seed, holding nothing back! He clenched his right fist violently, visualizing the Concept of the beginning of Chaos, the evolution of earth, fire, water, and wind, instantly compressing and exploding nearly half of the chaos qi flow within his body!

He threw a punch!

There was no brilliant radiance, only a grey fist aura that was chaotic, heavy, and seemingly capable of both bearing all things and crushing all things. Like a cannonball fired from its chamber, it met the three arrows!

Chaos — Return to Ruin Tribulation Fist!

This was a killing move that Nightmare had initially created by combining the characteristics of the Chaos Seed, the Dao Rhyme of Annihilation, and the primal cube's analysis of energy structures! It was intended to simulate the Concept of heaven and earth returning to ruin, and the collapse of all laws!

Boom!!! The fist aura and the arrows collided violently!

The energy explosion anticipated did not happen. The moment the three sharp arrows touched the grey fist aura, they seemed to fall into an invisible quagmire, their speed plummeting. The dark energy attached to them, as if encountering its nemesis, was rapidly decomposed and annihilated by the intent of Chaos and Annihilation contained within the fist aura!

Snap! Snap! Snap! With three slight crisp sounds, the three arrows of extraordinary grade actually shattered inch by inch in mid-air, turning into powder!

The grey fist aura did not diminish in momentum. Although it had dimmed by more than half, it still carried a resolute determination, smashing toward the giant rock where the Golden Core archer was hiding!

"What?!" The Eshi Yue leader on top of the giant rock's face changed drastically. He did not expect that his long-prepared Three-Star Consecutive Arrows would be broken by the opponent's such domineering punch! That grey fist aura made him feel a palpitation!

He dared not take it head-on, invoking his power, his figure drifting backward like a ghost. At the same time, a bone bow appeared in his hand, pulled to a full moon, and an arrow that was pitch black all over with an arrowhead like a viper's tongue instantly condensed!

"Soul Erosion — Armor-Piercing Arrow!"

Hum! The black arrow left the string, silent and soundless, yet it seemed to pierce through space, arriving first despite being shot later, striking the grey fist aura that had reached the end of its strength!

Puff! The fist aura finally dissipated completely, but the black arrow also trembled slightly, and the energy attached to it was actually eroded and worn away by the dissipating chaos qi flow, its light dimming by a few points.

Taking this opportunity, Nightmare invoked the Wind Wolf King's Origin, his speed soaring again. No longer entangling with this difficult archer, his figure moved like lightning, rushing toward the depths of the hills! His goal was the place indicated by the coordinates, not to fight a protracted battle with the Eshi Yue members here!

"Where are you going!" How could the Eshi Yue leader be willing to give up? Locking onto Nightmare, the bone bow in his hand shook repeatedly, and several more dark arrows chased after him like maggots on a tarsal bone, while simultaneously emitting a sharp whistle, clearly summoning nearby companions!

Nightmare remained calm, weaving through the rugged hills, anticipating the trajectory of the arrows, sometimes deflecting them with chaos qi flow, sometimes shattering them with the Annihilation Finger force, his figure not pausing in the slightest.

He could feel that the half-fragment in his arms became more active the closer it got to the coordinate direction, its internal "Void Imprint" even faintly resonating with somewhere in the distance! This confirmed his guess that the fragment was indeed a key or token!

Suddenly, the terrain ahead opened up, and a Gobi beach filled with black gravel and weathered rock pillars, stretching as far as the eye could see, appeared before his eyes! It was the Black Wind Gobi!

And just at the moment he stepped into the Gobi, Nightmare was suddenly shocked!

He clearly sensed that in the depths of the Gobi, a huge, chaotic, yet space fluctuation with a certain strange order was pulsing slowly like a heart! That fluctuation resonated with the fragment and was of the same Origin as the Eshi Yue Organization's energy!

At the same time, he also captured at least four powerful auras, which were closing in on him from different directions! One of them had an aura as obscure as an abyss, having reached the Middle Golden Core stage! Coupled with the Early Golden Core Stage archer in hot pursuit behind him, there were a total of five Golden Core Cultivators!

The power of the Eshi Yue Organization here far exceeded his imagination!

Nightmare's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, but his eyes grew sharper. He swept his gaze over the fragment in his arms, then looked toward the source of the space fluctuation.

There was no retreat, only moving forward!

He invoked the Chaos Seed, pouring all the remaining chaos qi flow into his legs, simulating the violent charging momentum of the Magma Earth Dragon from before. His entire being turned into a grey stream of light tearing through the night of the Gobi, rushing toward the source of the fluctuation regardless of everything!

Behind him and on both sides, five powerful grey figures, like life-reaping ghosts, chased after him, their killing intent biting!

Wilderness Hunt, the endgame is approaching!
