Fang Yu and Ding Hui find themselves trapped in a maze created by the Illusion Fox Demon. While Ding Hui tries to analyze the maze's structure, Fang Yu investigates their surroundings and ponders the demon's motives. A mysterious black sphere appears, displaying a countdown that rapidly increases. Fang Yu climbs the maze wall to get a better view and is attacked by eagle demons, but he easily dispatches them.

"Qi Explosion... Celestial Rotary!!"

Boom!!!

A violent wave of energy surged out, sweeping away all the spiraling eagle demons as if caught in a torrential storm!

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!!?"

A series of chaotic cries from the eagle monsters rang out, followed by the sound of their bodies crashing uncontrollably into the walls of the maze.

One of the spiraling eagle demons was even bitten by a lurking lizard demon clinging to the wall, and devoured on the spot!

The next moment, Fang Yu noticed...

"...37."

"Could it be..."

Fang Yu just had a thought.

113.

Increase.

The number suddenly spiked crazily.

Fang Yu couldn’t help but grab his head in confusion!

Looking at the distant giant demons with tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of blood volume, perched atop high walls, Fang Yu silently backed away.

Weird weird weird!

Too weird! This number, can’t make sense!

Fang Yu retreated to the ground, realizing that Ding Hui had somehow extracted a small sapling-like medicinal material from a tumor, intending to plant it in the walls of the maze!

Horizontal cultivation??

No, that’s not the main point!

"Ding Hui, we need to find a way to escape. There are quite a few great demons in this maze, we can’t delay any longer."

Though the maze is vast, encountering great demons is still possible.

And besides, all weaker demons will eventually be wiped out, increasing their chances of encountering great demons significantly.

The sooner we escape, the sooner we’ll be safe!

"Don’t rush, I’m researching the properties and changes of the wall’s soil, maybe I’ll discover something!"

Ding Hui is like that, always caught up in something, without any sense of limit.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, since that’s the case, he might try his previous idea.

"Ding Hui, I’m going to leave for about three seconds, don’t rush your research, keep an eye on my body, and run if anything happens, got it?"

Ding Hui looked at Fang Yu bewilderedly, absorbed in her research, her reaction to other matters wasn’t so sharp.

But she quickly caught on.

"You’re going to sleep? Sleep for three seconds?"

"Yes."

"Alright!" Ding Hui nodded seriously.

As soon as Ding Hui nodded, Fang Yu fell asleep instantly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Ding Hui silently counted in her mind.

At the moment of the third second, Fang Yu opened his eyes.

"How was it, husband?"

Ding Hui asked curiously.

Fang Yu shook his head silently.

No use, it wasn’t the mechanism he thought.

Fang Yu scratched his head, then...

Boom!!!!

A massive sound instantly interrupted Fang Yu and Ding Hui’s thoughts.

Looking towards the source of the sound, a high wall blocked all sight.

But that commotion, that earth-shattering vibration... it was unmistakable, it was that creature!!

...

The Shu Family’s Ancestor looked at the [Rolling Stone Centipede Demon] in front of him, his expression somewhat grim.

After entering the maze, he was separated from the Lu Family Ancestor, the endlessly sprawling maze split them apart, and even standing atop the high walls, they couldn’t see the end or find each other.

But the demons kept coming.

If he were at his full strength, a mere Rolling Stone Centipede Demon wouldn’t be a concern.

But in his current state, it was somewhat tricky.

Tricky, not impossible, just too taxing and not worth the cost.

So, the Shu Family’s Ancestor turned to flee.

But more demons, more great demons, were rushing in his direction!

Human flesh, and the flesh of strong humans, drew them forward relentlessly!

Most importantly... such powerful humans could bleed.

Unlike in the outside world, no matter how hard they tried, strong humans wouldn’t bleed, wouldn’t get hurt.

But here, when bitten, humans would indeed get wounded.

The Shu Family’s Ancestor’s situation wasn’t good, and the Lu Family Ancestor was in similarly poor condition.

Their strength made demons wary.

But their strength also made demons covetous.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fang Yu had already figured it out.

"...lower limit."

"Could it be that it’s setting a damage lower limit?"

"A minimum of 100 points of damage?"

"It’s not the fixed damage of the previous illusion realm, but it raises the damage lower limit for anyone, human or demon!"

"What does this mean?"

Fang Yu had never been touched by a demon before, and all the attacks he unleashed were damage he could inflict in his normal state, so he never suspected anything.

However, after Ding Hui’s suggestion, Fang Yu tested the illusion rules and discovered the clue.

This also means, the phenomenon of ants biting an elephant to death will still occur in this illusion realm.

While the strong can inflict the rightful damage upper limit.

With his data-based ability, Fang Yu could see the specific changes in numbers, allowing him to make such a quick judgment.

If it were someone else, they might not have discovered the clue.

"There’s no cap on the upper limit, but the lower limit is guaranteed... If a strong person were imprisoned here and fed to endless demons..."

Fang Yu suddenly realized that this maze held great potential.

Against the strong, it has a natural deterrent and a certain killing ability.

But now trapped inside, Fang Yu wasn’t in the mood to admire the maze’s power; he only wanted to escape with Ding Hui as soon as possible.

"Shall I try using the power of the Believer now?"

"Mm."

Ding Hui nodded.

Fang Yu didn’t hesitate, his body slowly floating in midair, with blood-colored steam rising from it.

"Spirit Shield!"

The Spirit Shield expanded.

But... it was useless.

Fang Yu’s Spirit Shield was still weak, and activating it was not very effective; instead, it easily stimulated his mental Spirit, causing entirely negative effects.

So he decisively retracted it first.

Floating horizontal slash!

And then...

"Repeat!!"

A sharp shout!

In the next moment, whether it was Fang Yu or Ding Hui, they both simultaneously saw the space around them seem to ripple!

They also noticed that the first horizontal slash solidly cut across the maze wall, leaving marks and severing part of it.

But the second repeated slash! directly cut through the void! As if not being in the same layer of space as the maze wall! Causing a certain degree of spatial disturbance!

"It worked!"

Fang Yu and Ding Hui exchanged a glance.

The power of the Believer was truly the natural nemesis of a demon’s ability!

If that’s the case, as long as they exert more power, they might be able to cut a spatial breach and escape the illusion maze!

"Again!"

Ding Hui encouraged.

Do you need to say more?

Fang Yu prepared, positioning himself for a vertical slash from above.

At that moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.

Rising and falling, continuously shaking, making the city walls seem to sway erratically, tilting at certain angles.

BOOM!!!

Then came one deafening roar after another, echoing throughout the land.

Listening to the noise, Fang Yu suddenly felt a bit fortunate.

Lucky that he didn’t have to confront such a monster.

Otherwise, even with a blood volume of hundreds of thousands, Fang Yu felt it wouldn’t be enough.

When the power gap is too vast, blood volume is essentially just virtual blood.

As if feeling the commotion of battle over there, spreading continually towards here, Fang Yu’s heart tightened.

"Slash!!!"

...

The white mist thickened gradually.

Previously, when the Shu Family’s and the Lu Family’s Ancestors arrived, the presence of the white mist wasn’t even noticeable in this place.

But now, this white mist had thickened to a visible extent, covering a vast area and slowly spreading outward.

"The White Nightmare... I never imagined the legendary White Nightmare would appear near our Da Liang City..."

The Nanyuan Ancestor’s face turned extremely grim, staring at the white mist ahead, with no other thoughts.

"...We can’t let the White Nightmare engulf Da Liang City; otherwise, everyone in the city will die in the White Nightmare!"

The Nanyuan Ancestor said grimly.

The abnormal phenomena of heaven and earth naturally drew attention.

After the white mist appeared, both families immediately reported the situation to their respective Ancestors.

It’s for this reason they confirmed entirely that the Shu Family’s Ancestor and the Lu Family’s Ancestor are not in the family forbidden grounds.

Perhaps now, those two guys are trapped within the White Nightmare!

"This is just courting death!" the Nanyuan Ancestor muttered, filled partly with anger and partly with a cold smile; no one could tell for sure.

"The White Nightmare, also known as the White Plague, in areas it covers, no grass grows! Bodies lie everywhere!" the Nanyuan Ancestor said grimly.
