The battle continued.
The two Soul Predators circled back and forth around the strange man, constantly stabbing him.
The strange man abruptly turned into water and charged towards the smaller Soul Predator.
"You're thinking too much"
Liu Ping stepped on the halo and focused his mind.
Instantly, the Soul Predator was shifted behind him, while the strange man was forced to move back a few ters, just in ti to receive the other Soul Predator's attack.
A dull thud.
The strange man's body was instantly pierced through.
It twitched a few tis, then abruptly uttered a high-pitched scream.
Its entire body evaporated into black mist and slowly dissipated, leaving only a black cloak where it stood.
What is this?
Liu Ping stepped forward and picked up the cloak.
Lines of burning text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Embrace of Nightmares]
[Cloak, proof of identity]
[By wearing this cloak, you will gain access to the Inner Plane]
[Furthermore]
[Due to your victory against the existence of the Inner Plane]
[As the summoner of the Soul Predators, you will take their place and beco a mber of the Inner Plane]
Liu Ping put on the cloak.
Instantly, he found that his appearance had completely changed.
— — -He had turned into a humanoid monster with a blank expression, exactly the sa as the one from before.
So that's what it was. This was a fake 'shell' used to hide my identity, that's why these monsters looked almost the sa and didn't have any expressions!
As long as I wear this cloak, no one in the Inner Plane would be able to tell who I am.
But my summoned creatures — — -
He turned to the two Soul Predators.
Only to see the two Soul Hunters standing still, trembling nonstop.
A strange gravitational force caused them to approach each other, their bodies touching — — -
As their bodies touched, they turned into a viscous liquid that slowly fused into a monster with two heads, four arms, and six legs.
Two lines of text appeared above the monster's head:
[Two-headed Soul Eater]
[— — Evolved form of the Soul Predator, with even more powerful abilities]
The monster slowly regained its consciousness and stared straight at Liu Ping:
"So you really did help us win against it ... very well, from now on, we will never be separated again! "
"That's right!" Liu Ping happily replied.
"What do you plan to do next?" The Two-headed Soul Eater Demon asked.
"I want to go to the Inner World and obtain the status that I deserve," Liu Ping said.
"Can I go with you?" the Soul Eater Demon asked.
Its two heads stared at Liu Ping with a look of desire.
"I have already helped you beco strong enough. Do you still want to continue becoming stronger?" Liu Ping asked.
"That's right. Please continue to fight by my side. I'll pay you accordingly," the Soul Eater Demon said.
Liu Pingxin thought to himself, Your soul is already mine, what other rewards are you going to give ?
"What's the reward?" he asked.
"I can tell you a secret about the Inner World." The Two-headed Soul Eater lowered its voice. "The Inner World is in a ss right now because there's sothing wrong with the Sequence Spirit. There's so fluctuation in the feeding authority of the underground palace, and so unknown fellows have sneaked in."
"What? There's such a thing? "Liu Ping was surprised.
"That fellow is clearly just a laughable clown, yet he shalessly insisted on staying in the Inner World, wanting to beco one of us," the Two-headed Soul Eater Demon said.
Liu Ping noticed that sothing wasn't right and asked further: "Who's that fellow you're talking about?"
The Two-headed Soul Eater Demon replied: "I'm not sure. I only heard it from the high-ranked Sequence Spirits. However, it's said that he has a 'mission', so after the Sequence Spirit reported the truth, he was indeed allowed to do so. Apparently, this fellow with a 'mission' has the right to challenge everyone"
"How does that affect us?" Liu Ping asked.
"The Inner World is very chaotic" the Two-headed Soul Eater Demon replied.
Liu Ping went silent for a few monts.
Why does it sound like it's right but not right?
It seems to be talking about , but also not.
However — —
He knew the answer right away.
"Co, go to your personal resting place first. I'll call you when the battle starts"
Saying so, Liu Ping pressed his hand on the Two-headed Soul Eater Demon's body.
Bam!
The Soul Eater Demon turned into a nightmare card.
Liu Ping put the card away, then wrapped his cloak tightly around his body.
At the very next mont.
That familiar feeling once again appeared in his mind.
He headed deeper into the grassland and quickly found a flight of stairs leading downwards.
— — the entrance to the Inner World.
Liu Ping glanced at the baby girl in his arms.
The large cloak covered her, making it impossible for anyone outside to see her.
Liu Ping slowly walked down the stairs.
After walking for a few minutes in the darkness, he once again arrived at a hallway.
— — -this ti, the baby girl is sleeping, I need to be careful.
Liu Ping beca alert and continued walking down the hallway.
There wasn't a single monster on the way.
— — where did they all go?
Liu Ping continued to walk forward doubtfully.
Suddenly, he heard a bit of commotion.
He walked to the window and looked outside.
The fog had already dispersed.
On the empty ground outside, countless strange people spread out and surrounded a single person in the middle.
— — -the umbrella bearer.
He looked a bit haggard, but he was clearly excited.
"How is it? I've followed the requirents of the challenge and defeated most of the challengers in the Outer World! "
"I know you look down on and think that I'm nothing but food — — but now, it's ti for to challenge you!"
The umbrella bearer took a deep breath and loudly shouted: "I have a 'mission' that entity gave , once I win three battles, I'll be qualified to beco one of you!"
Liu Ping watched this scene quietly.
Suddenly, lines of text appeared on the window:
[Special reminder:]
[You've defeated a Combatant of the Outer World]
[You've defeated the nightmare entity: Soul Predator]
[You've defeated the Inner World entity: Dark Nightmare Entropy Demon]
[You've completed the Inner World challenge]
[The Sequence has already given you the one and only spot.]
[Please defeat the current challenger, after all, the slot was originally prepared for him]
[— — -this is a necessary disguise]
[I hope you know what you want to gain]
Reading through it, Liu Ping felt enlightened.
So that's why.
The umbrella bearer must have a mission to destroy the Divine Pillar in order to be qualified to unleash the Nightmare Card.
And now, he's using this mission as an excuse to completely turn himself into a nightmare entity.
After this was spread, he received permission to do so.
— — -perhaps it's the entity that forced the umbrella bearer to do this, or perhaps it's sothing else.
Either way, the spirit of the Sequence now has a slot that can be bestowed to the umbrella bearer at any ti.
And she's secretly given this slot to !
To fool everyone, I have to kill the umbrella bearer first.
Liu Ping took a deep breath and said softly, "Very good, let's settle our past grudges today."
He opened the window, leapt up, and lightly landed in front of the umbrella bearer.
The umbrella bearer looked over, only to see that the newcor was a strange person similar to the other nightmare entities.
"Do you accept my challenge?" he cautiously asked.
A cold and emotionless voice resounded from the strange person's body:
[Pitiful insect, you will never beco an entity like us, you will forever be food, never a predator]
"No! You can't discriminate against ! I carry that great entity's mission! "the umbrella bearer spoke as if he had lost his mind.
[I will kill you] the strange person spoke with a hoarse voice.
He paused, then suddenly recalled the last line of text on the window.
[And then, I will take away your mission]
He added.
The umbrella bearer took a step back and spoke in a low voice: "You think I don't know the situation? No, I know that you are the true masters of Occultism, that you won't lose your mind while controlling the power of [Ergence], nor will you beco soone who only knows how to devour ... but I never fight a battle that I'm not confident in "
Liu Ping's expression beca serious, his hand had already pressed the card inside his cloak.
The only thing I can use right now is the Two-headed Soul Eater, but after activating Warden Mode and using [Deception], I can fight alongside the Two-headed Soul Eater.
I wonder what the umbrella bearer learned.
"Prepare to die"
Liu Ping muttered and threw the card out.
Bam!
The Two-headed Soul Eater appeared in the middle of the field.
"So it's this guy" it looked around, slowly showing a look of realization, "So it's ti to beco famous — — - die!"
The Two-headed Soul Eater's body shook and instantly disappeared.
In that instant, the umbrella bearer's expression changed a few tis and shouted: "Nightmare Summoner?
Two-headed Soul Eater?
You're indeed powerful, but I've also left my true trump card behind over the long years — — - "
He closed the umbrella and pulled out a card from the handle in front of Liu Ping.
There was a constantly changing scene drawn on the card, and in front of the scene, there was a hand holding a controller, constantly selecting the scene.
The umbrella bearer slowly explained:
"Many years ago, I once fell into an extrely intricate seal that trapped , to the point that I had to use all of my power to completely break it open"
Bam!
The card let out a noise and disappeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes.
At the very next mont.
The scene around him suddenly changed.
He found himself leaving the Inner Plane and arriving at another location.
The umbrella-wielder stood in front of him and proudly declared: " During the long years of destruction, I expended all of my efforts to further modify that sealing ground, making it more suitable for to trap the enemy "
He raised his hand and pointed at the darkness around him: "Although I can't make it belong to , its owner is already dead, so in terms of authority, I can now use it — — -"
"No matter who you are, prepare to be destroyed by the endless seal!"
As soon as he said that.
From the darkness, streaks of light appeared one after another, forming the outline of a gigantic creature in the middle of the boundless ocean.
Liu Ping looked over.
A gigantic black armor appeared in front of his eyes.
It was so familiar, and so intimate, almost like — — -
It was his avatar.
Liu Ping looked at the armor and couldn't help but sigh:
"Are you sure you want it to join this battle?"
The umbrella bearer smirked, clasped his hands together and roared: "Go! Seal this nightmare in front of — — - even if it's only for a few seconds, it's more than enough! "
The gigantic armor remained still.
A few monts of silence.
The umbrella bearer's expression froze.
It was now that Liu Ping slowly raised his hand.
At the sa ti, the gigantic, majestic, and unparalleled black armor also raised its hand.
