Chapter 839: Chapter 832: Golden Bone

WHOOSH!!

Zhou Yuanjue’s body expanded continuously. Driven by his terrifying will, he shattered Heimeng’s spiritual guidance and dominated everything in the Dream Realm with his own will.

Within the Dream Realm, their wills intertwined in a contest of spiritual and volitional strength. The initiator naturally held the initiative, but as long as the target’s will was terrifying and powerful enough, they could turn the tables.

What Heimeng didn’t know was that for Zhou Yuanjue, his greatest asset was neither his talent nor his power, but his will.

To sever everything, conquer everything, and transcend everything.

The martial will was unbreakable and all-conquering.

He had been able to reach this point entirely because of the driving force of this indestructible will. Like a pillar supporting the heavens, it upheld everything he had.

Compared to the talents and abilities he currently possessed, his will was the most precious.

Back when he faced the Master of Nightmares with a weak body, even though his power was completely crushed, the Master of Nightmares couldn’t affect his will in the slightest. This rendered nearly eighty percent of the Master of Nightmares’ abilities ineffective, ultimately forcing him to use a mutually destructive method to deal with Zhou Yuanjue.

In fact, based solely on strength and abilities, the Master of Nightmares should have been the strongest existence among the Twelve Primordial Ancestors.

Therefore, Heimeng, ignorant of all this, had truly chosen the wrong battlefield.

Zhou Yuanjue’s many opponents had long proven one point: defeating him on the level of will and spirit was almost impossible.

That heavenly pillar simply could not be shaken.

Heimeng’s mouth fell slightly open. Before him, Zhou Yuanjue’s body grew increasingly massive until they were at eye level. Moreover, this didn’t seem to be Zhou Yuanjue’s limit.

His body continued to swell, surpassing Heimeng’s size in an endless expansion.

Heimeng’s originally towering figure, which had connected heaven and earth like a creator God, was now completely dwarfed and appeared increasingly insignificant.

He thought, “What the hell…”

Heimeng’s expression almost cracked, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

He couldn’t help but look up, meeting a pair of bright eyes that burned like torches in the endless darkness.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Flames blazed, illuminating the entire Dream Realm.

Scorching, powerful, and sincere.

As unshakable as the laws of nature.

This scene was deeply etched into his mind.

He clearly saw his surroundings as a tremendous sense of oppression descended from the sky.

It was a massive foot, as large as an island.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity.

He thought, “Wasn’t this exactly how I tried to stomp on him just now?

“Giving me a taste of my own medicine?

“Perhaps the outcome will be similar to before? I couldn’t stomp him to death, so he shouldn’t be able to…”

BOOM!!!

The terrifyingly massive foot slammed down. His body was crushed flat like an empty soda can, compacted into a dense lump.

CRACK!!

Under the impact of that terrifying will, cracks appeared throughout the black Dream Realm before it violently shattered. Countless black threads receded like the ebbing tide.

Outside the Chiyan Safety Zone, in a hidden location.

“AHHHHH!!”

Heimeng let out a miserable shriek. His head felt as if it had exploded. He clutched his head with both hands as blood flowed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It took a long while before he slightly recovered from the backlash of the Dream Curse.

At this moment, his mind was still somewhat dazed.

He wondered, “What exactly did I just experience?

“In my own Dream Curse, I was actually stomped to death by a single foot?!

“Like a squashed ant?!”

Heimeng looked bewildered. He had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

“What the hell was that thing?

“How could his spiritual will reach such a level?!

“That’s absolutely not a strength below Type One!!

“And he is only at the First layer Transformation Boundary!!

“Is this the genius who is believed to be capable of surpassing Bing Zhiyue?”

Heimeng took several deep breaths before finally calming himself down. However, the moment he closed his eyes, he would see that colossal body in the Dream Curse and those terrifying eyes that illuminated the entire Dream Realm.

He violently shuddered.

He knew this was the psychological trauma left behind by the Dream Curse’s backlash, and it wouldn’t be easily healed.

Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and used a special method to soothe his spirit. It took a full day and night before he finally managed to temporarily suppress the psychological trauma and rationally analyze the current situation.

“It seems that his spiritual will is not only not a weakness, but actually his strong suit. He possesses a talent in this area that far exceeds ordinary people. This might also be the reason why he is so powerful.

“The Dream Realm battlefield clearly won’t affect him.”

Heimeng was, after all, an expert in the “four” tier of the overall leaderboard. After calming down and thinking for a moment, he understood the crux of the matter.

There were many geniuses in this world with formidable talents in various fields. Although those with extremely strong talents in spiritual will were rare, they did exist, so it wasn’t too surprising.

When facing such exceptionally gifted individuals, one shouldn’t clash head-on with their strengths, but rather target their weaknesses.

Since he couldn’t compete on the spiritual level, he would shift to the material and energy level. The Dream Curse was merely one type of Curse Technique; it didn’t represent his entire arsenal.

“When I came into contact with his will, he seemed to be in a state of Cultivation. He probably won’t leave the safety zone for a short while, which gives me the perfect opportunity to prepare.

“I hold the ’clues’ in my hands. As long as I stack enough Curse Technique effects, the moment he steps out of the safety zone, I will be able to wash away today’s humiliation.”

Heimeng took a deep breath and formulated a plan. A calm smile, just like before, reappeared on his lips.

As a Curse Master, he had to maintain a clear head at all times. He couldn’t lose his composure over a failure; instead, he needed to continuously analyze his mistakes.

Reaching out to the other party through the safety zone had indeed been a bit reckless, but at the very least, he had figured out some of his opponent’s background.

He thought, “He might have made a huge profit, but I will never take a loss.”

Meanwhile.

On the other side, after Zhou Yuanjue shattered his opponent’s Dream Curse, he broke free from the Dream Realm and returned to the safe house.

“To be able to use his abilities through the safety zone, his Dream Realm powers shouldn’t be limited to just this. His combat strength in reality must be quite good as well, and his ranking on the overall leaderboard seems to be very high. It’s just that his brain doesn’t seem to work very well.

“Hmm… I’ll ignore him for now and continue improving my strength. I shouldn’t be ’harassed’ again this time. I’ll find some time to deal with him after I finish my seclusion.”

Zhou Yuanjue let out a soft breath, quickly moving past this minor interlude, and continued his Simulation of the Immovable Lotus Pattern structure.

Time flew by, and three months passed in a flash.

The situation in the Chaotic Paradise underwent a sudden and drastic change.

The Ten Great Organizations formed an alliance with the intention of unifying the entire Chaotic Paradise.

Under the oppression of the Ten Great Organizations, many geniuses who were unwilling to join any faction were forced to make a choice. Some chose to submit to the Ten Great Organizations, while the remaining, stronger batch of geniuses escaped their pursuit and went into hiding.

Eventually, Bing Zhimou and a few other top-tier geniuses stepped forward. They united the geniuses who refused to submit and formed the Chosen Alliance to resist them.

Meanwhile, some powerful organizations that coveted the positions of the Ten Great Organizations also wanted to seize this opportunity and began taking sides. This caused the core circle of the Chaotic Paradise to sharply divide into two factions, which then began to wage war against each other.

The war, which the Ten Great Organizations originally thought could be resolved quickly, fell into a prolonged stalemate.

No matter how chaotic the outside world became, it had nothing to do with Zhou Yuanjue.

For three months, he hadn’t taken a single step out of the safe house, devoting himself entirely to the structural Simulation.

The skeletal structure was indeed the most important foundational structure of the human body. It involved too many interconnected parts, making the transformation of this structure even more difficult and time-consuming than he had imagined.

Normally, it would only take Zhou Yuanjue about a month to simulate and integrate a structure.

However, the Immovable Lotus Pattern had consumed more than three times that amount of time.

But at this very moment, this transformation was finally nearing its end.

Inside the safe house, Zhou Yuanjue looked no different from before on the outside. But if one’s gaze could pierce through his skin and muscles, they would discover that his skeleton had undergone an earth-shattering change.

Strands of golden lotus-shaped patterns crawled all over his bones, giving them a faint Gold hue.
