Shen Yu was really surprised by what he was seeing before him. If viewed by mundane eyes, there was nothing. But if soone tried to sense, they would have their mind collapsed or atleast damaged depending upon their Cultivation base.
It was because a tiny translucent being was trapped in mid-air, experiencing thousands of nightmares woven carefully by Vanish with her illusion technique.
It was frightening to say the least and what impressed Shen Yu the most was how many layers she was able to stack on the initial illusion to make it look like an endless nightmare.
Even if soone broke through one nightmare, they would experience another and this cycle would just keep repeating until either all layers were destroyed or the trapped person loses themselves in those nightmares.
A true horror was right before him.
'Damn! She's like a Spiritual Creature herself. Good thing she didn't participate in the trial otherwise she would have been quite troubleso to deal with.'
Turning around, Shen Yu once again looked at Vanish and patted her head, healing all of her injuries.
"You're really good at what you do, huh."
Vanish smiled, feeling the warm current passing through her body.
"Everything I have is for Master to use."
Shen Yu chuckled and said.
"We will see that later. For now, let's go and see how your partner is doing!"
After that, Shen Yu teleported the three of them to the western side of the settlent. The scene that greeted them once again was surprising as there wasn't a mass destruction fight here.
Well, completely as everything was in ss even though it is as particularly destroyed. What lay before them looked like a mountain that had been destroyed in an aftermath of a battle.
Chunks of Rocky blocks were here and there, cut in half and tall walls rose all around them like a giant maze. However, as they were looking from the skies, the scene was more like a canyon between mountains.
At one corner of the whole ss, two man were fighting a death battle. One was Stone, wearing his black suit and a wooden mask similar to Vanish's mask.
His body, however, was changed as he easily stood at a frightening height of five tres, with gray skin rolling under his black suit, which actually fit him even in his current state.
He was facing a middle-aged man who was hovering high in the air, with a pristine white sword in his hand, he looked the definition of sword immortal.
Pure white sword intent shot out of his sword, cutting down many rocks Stone had created, but it still wasn't able to actually able to hurt Stone.
Stone himself was running at an insane speed, which should have been impossible with his huge body, but he was doing it sohow.
Coming forward, Song Junwan looked at Stone and furrowed her brows, as she said.
"I don't have much information about him aside from the fact he's nad Stone."
She turned towards Vanish and asked.
"What do you know about him?"
Looking at the giant fighting the sword immortal, Vanish chuckled behind her mask.
"He's an oddity in our group actually. He only joined Assassin Organisation because I asked him otherwise he was just roaming around."
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
"Oh? I'm now interested, please tell more."
Vanish looked down and nodded.
"As per your wish, Master. Stone's real na...I actually don't know since he always used that. I t him when I was running away from the Dark Legion of the Empire, and he saved ."
A beautiful smiled ford on her lips, which was unfortunately behind the mask.
"He was already a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator back at that ti so he defeated the Dark Legion and saved . However, he didn't help much and threw out when I got in my pri condition."
Raising her head, Vanish looked at her benefactor and said.
"I left but still rembered him. So, when I beca the elder in Assassin Organisation i went to look for him and after so efforts, found him. I suggested him to join the Assassin Organisation and he joined, because I was the one who asked him."
She chuckled, rembering her old mories.
"Apparently, I looked similar to his younger sister, so he had began to consider as such. He thought of himself as the big brother and wanted to help in everything."
Smiling, Shen Yu said.
"He's a great man for that. Also, what about his younger sister?"
Vanish's smiled stiffened as she sighed.
"She died in the aftermath of a war apparently. What that war was, he didn't tell any details and I also never asked him."
Shen Yu nodded and looked at Stone, who was giving a lot of trouble to the sword Cultivator.
As he had already investigated the Slave organisation before, he knew him very well. The sword Cultivators nad was ng Ko, and he was at Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Realm.
Proficient in Dao of Sword, he was a nace to the society. He also Cultivated Demonic arts which included consuming blood of virgin people.
This was also one of the reasons he was so powerful but needed to seek refuge in Slave organisation. Not even the Major Sects would take soone like him under their wings so this was his only choice.
Now, he was showing the reason he was feared across the Qing Empire. With every strike of his sword, he seed to cut the sky itself as he danced around the battlefield, trying to keep so distance from Stone.
ng Ko could see how Stone fought and what he specialised in, so he kept his distance and used destructive sword strikes to target his opponent.
Stone also knew much about his opponent so he didn't let a single sword stike him, as he knew even a single one of them could cause great harm to him.
They had sword intent embedded in them so it was better to keep distance from them. This was why he was erecting walls upon walls and calling forth mountains to defend against the sword strikes.
"Aghh! You damned barbarian! Let's see how defend this."
ng Ko roared, as no matter what he used, he couldn't put even a scratch on his opponent. It was making him frustrated so much that his eyes were turning red.
With a loud roar, he slice at Stone's direction, making a giant crimson red slash to shoot at Stone.
The world turned heavy, as if the air itself had gained weight, as the enormous slash ca crashing down on Stone, who didn't even get ti to move from his position.
Even if he had, he couldn't have done it as the slash was wide and long enough to cut the whole settelnt itself. It showed the pinnacle power of a Sword Cultivator of Nascent Soul Realm.
However, Stone didn't panic and a smile ford on rocky face. He had been waiting for this very mont, so he finally did what he was preparing for a while.
"Good thing you took ti to play with !"
He stopped in his place and joined his hands together, and closed his eyes, ignoring the impending doom. His Spirit Sense left his body and covered the whole battlefield in a matter of monts.
"Destruction Spell of Doom!"
The world shook as an earth shattering landed on it's target. Dust rose, blurring everything and making it difficult to see the aftermath.
However, there was a strange feeling lingering in the atmosphere that made ng Ko's heart unsettled. He narrowed his eyes as his grip on sword tightened.
In the next second, a loud beastial howl resounded in the whole settlent as sothing rose from the bottom of the earth as if rising against the heaven itself.
As the dust cleared up slightly, ng Ko could finally see the monster he had provoked and just the sight made his face place, losing all of its colour.
What stood before him was a Titantic monster, made out of nothing but rocks and stones. It was so huge that even the settlent looked small compared to it.
Perhaps only sothing like Hollow Mountains could humble such titantic being. If ng Ko could describe it, he would say it looked like a mountain had co alive.
Slowly, the being stood up as it took a form of a human figure with four limbs, torso and a head. All made of stones.
In the place of it's head, ng Ko could see his opponent sitting there, as if captured inside the mountain. However, there was a clear provoking smile on his face that irked him.
Before ng Ko could respond, the head was completely ford, burying Stone inside it. Looking at the towering being before him, ng Ko couldn't help but gulp in fear.
When he raised his head to look at the face, he found nothing there except for two hollow caves which looked like eyes. Strange, mysterious darkness dwelled in those caves, frightening him.
"Your dream is over, now live in nightmare!"
