"Dream realm?" The Void Venerate raised an eyebrow, the opponent was actually similar to his own Dao Fruit.

"Are you the Nightmare Supreme?"

As the last Semi-Immortal of Great Yu, he knew more about the Nightmare Supreme.

This entity was the overlord of the dream realm, his enemies would die in their sleep in extremely painful ways, and there had been times during battles between two armies when he caused a million soldiers on the opposing side to enter a sleepwalking state, thus controlling a million soldiers and making them slaughter each other.

The enemy generals would die in the midst of the million soldiers’ sleepwalking.

If it hadn’t been for the help of the Imperial Teacher with the first Emperor Yu, it would not have been certain that they could defeat him.

The Nightmare Supreme did not answer, his cold gaze said it all.

He had awakened from ancient times, spreading pendants in this place, collecting the dreams of mortals to strengthen the outline of his Dao Fruit of the dream realm.

The Dao Fruit outline of the dream realm needed to collect various types of dreams to become complete.

Since losing to the first Emperor Yu at the end of Great Qian, he had lain dormant and had awoken in different eras.

Each era has its characteristics, creating different kinds of dreams.

The dreams of this era greatly enriched the outline of his Dao Fruit of the dream realm, and with the Twin River created by the Immortals, none among the Semi-Immortals could be his match!

For now, the first to be dealt with was the Void Venerate.

Shi Chan and Meng Jingzhou woke up from their dreamlike states one after another, with Shi Chan awakening earlier because he knew the Dream-entering Technique.

To say they woke up was actually not entirely accurate, as they hadn’t left the realm of dreaming; the Void Realm and the dream realm had become one, and they were in a "lucid dreaming" state.

"Two ancient Semi-Immortals?" Meng Jingzhou was extremely surprised after hearing Lu Yang’s introduction, as the situation seemed to be growing more and more serious.

Taking advantage of the fight between the two ancient Semi-Immortals, the One Qi Venerable rescued City Lord Liu and others from their cages and explained the situation.

City Lord Liu nearly didn’t catch his breath upon hearing this.

How could such a small place as Chunjiang City be the site of a battle between two great Semi-Immortals?

"Venerable, who do you think will win?" Your next read is at freewebnovel

The One Qi Venerable shook his head; it was a meaningless question, "No matter who wins, we’ve seen their methods, and neither will let us live. Now the only plan is to wait for them to both be grievously injured in their fight, and then I will strike unexpectedly with thunderous means, only then is there a chance of victory."

"We rely on the Venerable then!" City Lord Liu quickly expressed his gratitude. This concerned the lives of a million people in Chunjiang City.

The One Qi Venerable didn’t respond to City Lord Liu; he wasn’t in the mood for that now.

Only he knew how difficult this task was and how low the chance of success was.

These two were Semi-Immortals who had fought through life and death situations, and though they were losers in the battle for the world, one should consider who they were defeated by.

The combat experience of these two was likely so extensive it would make one’s scalp tingle; the chance for them to injure each other sufficiently to reveal weaknesses was extremely small.

Regardless, all that was left was to try.

"Condense."

The spatial vortex created by the Nightmare Supreme came to a halt at the command of a single word from the Supreme, space froze as if time stopped, and the tearing force of the space disappeared.

He was the sovereign of the dream realm, and in the dream realm, he could achieve the effect of Verbal Spell.

As for the nearly a hundred magic artifacts created by the Void Venerate, he could also create them.

"Create!"

Nearly a hundred magic artifacts also appeared behind the Nightmare Supreme.

The dazzling array of magic artifacts collided in the air, the sound of their impacts nearly tore the space apart.

"Law of Heaven and Earth."

"Law of Heaven and Earth."

```

Two Venerates simultaneously deployed the Law of Heaven and Earth, their heads touching the blue sky and their feet standing firm on the ground, armed with divine weapons, capable of warding off all kinds of magic spell attacks, invulnerable to myriads of magic.

The Nightmare Supreme was indeed famous, but he, the Void Venerate, was no ordinary figure, either. Had not the Jiang and Meng families joined forces a hundred thousand years ago, it would still be uncertain to whom this world truly belonged!

"Plague of diseases, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man," the Nightmare Venerate used a cruel curse technique.

This was a magic skill he could only employ within the realm of dreams. Unless one became immortal, any cultivator could not escape the destiny of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. No matter how extensive your lifespan or how you reached towards the heavens, in the end, you would be constrained by the suffering of the Five Decays, unable to withstand the power of time.

In an instant, the Void Venerate transformed into an old man with white hair, unable to straighten his back; his body emanated an odour. Countless wailing souls surrounded him, covering the skies and too numerous to count – these were the innocent lives he had taken throughout his life.

"A scapegoat satchel assumes the disaster, troubles abound once out of bounds."

In the hands of the Void Venerate, a palm-sized straw doll appeared. Twining a strand of hair around it, the straw doll spontaneously combusted, turning to ashes.

The Void Venerate was restored to his original form, and countless wronged souls turned into black raindrops, falling upon the earth.

The straw man scapegoat technique—unless faced with a tribulation of becoming immortal, such as the Immortal Calamity, the straw man could save a life.

"Purge the locusts with Immortal Thunder, sweep clean the human realm!"

Azure-purple Immortal Thunder descended upon the world, a single step away from the true Immortal Thunder. All beings and spirits were like locusts in front of Immortal Thunder, merely a motley crew, insignificant and feeble.

The One Qi Venerable watched, his scalp tingling. He could not protect himself in front of such a level of Immortal Thunder. Even if he didn’t die, he would be gravely wounded!

"Naught but a slight effort, Withered Wood Meeting Spring, spring returns to the earth!"

With a step, the Nightmare Supreme sprouted a large rootless tree from beneath his feet. Its branches swayed, emanating waves of time. The Purging Locust Immortal Thunder gradually shrank, as if it had never appeared in the first place.

Fairy Eternity laughed upon seeing this, "The Yingtian Immortal fought against the Time Immortal before they became immortal in just this manner. When the Yingtian Immortal struck with thunder, the Time Immortal would reverse time. No thunder could descend, frustrating the Yingtian Immortal nearly to death."

The battle Fairy Eternity spoke of was recorded in historical texts, which, although now lost, did exist during the era of the Great Qian. The Nightmare Supreme had devised this countermeasure after learning of that battle.

In the Void Realm and the realm of dreams, their techniques seemed almost infinite, capable of using any method below that of an Immortal’s. They could materialize any of the one hundred and eight types of True Fire, causing space to collapse, and countless Divine Abilities were too numerous to count.

It was precisely because their techniques were so closely matched that the battle stagnated, making it hard to determine a victor.

Meng Jingzhou was rather worried, "Old Lu, who do you think will win between them?"

Lu Yang shook his head, "It’s not up to them to determine the victor."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yang didn’t say anything, but simply pointed above his head where there was nothing. However, when the Nightmare Supreme had broken into the Void Realm earlier, a crack had formed, momentarily connecting it with the outside world.

Lu Yang had seized this opportunity.

Suddenly, both sides of the battle stopped in unison. The Void Realm and the realm of dreams severed their connection with the outside world, but an ominous feeling inexplicably arose within them, as if a tremendous threat was rapidly approaching.

Crack—

At the upper level of the dark space, above the heads of the two ancient Semi-Immortals, a fissure appeared without warning, just wide enough to fit one person.

The Void Venerate’s pupils constricted sharply.

If when the Nightmare Supreme had intruded into the Void Realm he had felt the other force attacking the realm, this time he felt nothing before a rift was torn open.

It was as if the barriers of the Void Realm and the realm of dreams were illusory, easily torn asunder as simply as splitting a piece of paper in two.

A beautiful figure stepped leisurely through the spatial rift, and the fissure could not close for a long time.

The figure looked indifferent, her expression showing not a ripple of emotion. She regarded the two ancient Semi-Immortals as if they were nothing. Seeing Lu Yang below, her expression slightly softened, but quickly returned to indifference.

"Who are you!" the Nightmare Supreme watched her warily.

Her appearance did not match any supreme being he knew of.

The beautiful figure glanced over the two Venerates, her tone as ancient and unchanging as if the collapse of heaven and earth could not affect her state of mind:

"Master of the Heavenly Court Sect, Yun Mengmeng."
