The meeting with Ni Yang happened a month later. One of Zhang Xiaoman's incarnations felt strong spiritual power fluctuations coming from the depths of the void. He knew that it was probably Ni Yang fighting the wild beast.
Instantly switching to the target area, Zhang Xiaoman saw a flash of ice-blue light from a distance.
Yongshuang!
One of Niyang's magical powers, a huge ice lotus bloomed from the void, dyeing the surrounding deep purple that was so rich that it couldn't be transformed into silver frost.
A giant snake-shaped beast was fighting with it. The ice of eternal frost covered the snake's body, freezing it into an indestructible ice sculpture.
The giant snake-like beast is not a vegetarian either. Even though its body has been frozen, it is still tightly wrapped around Ni Yang. Its sharp teeth are deeply embedded in the latter's body, and it has bitten a large number of things on its body. of wounds.
These wounds are equipped with powerful spiritual power. Although it is not like Zhang Xiaoman's Lord of Destruction ring that can make the wounds unable to heal, it can also greatly increase the speed of self-healing. After long-term accumulation, even Ni Yang has a little I can't resist it anymore.
At this moment, one dragon and one snake were in a stalemate. Niyang's eternal frost froze the big snake, but there was no way to kill it completely.
And it itself has become weak from long-term exhaustion and can only be tightly bound by the big snake.
Dark energy shocks, Tongtianjue!
Zhang Xiaoman's figure shone like a shooting star, coming from the void and hitting the giant snake with one punch.
"Click~"
The next second, the giant snake's body suddenly turned into countless ice cubes and shattered. The Lord of Destruction took effect and killed it directly.
"Niyang!"
Zhang Xiaoman flew to Ni Yang's side. As he spoke, a large amount of spiritual power surged out of his palms. After being converted by the original power, it turned into life force that could heal injuries and help Ni Yang repair his wounds.
"Boy, why are you here?"
Seeing him appear, Ni Yang was the first to ask questions.
When Zhang Xiaoman heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Ni Yang, you have the nerve to ask me first. I followed you here. Last time you said you were leaving, and then you never came back. I finally found out about you, and when I saw you injured, you went to Chaos. If you want to run in the air, of course you have to come and take a look! And...why on earth do you want to come here? What's in front of you?"
He had been holding this series of questions in his mind for a long time, and it was just the right time to ask them now.
"I……"
Ni Yang was stunned for a moment, then murmured:
"I... saw her..."
"What?"
Ni Yang suddenly came back to his senses.
"It's nothing, kid, you shouldn't be here, go back quickly! I'll find you after I've finished handling the things here!"
Zhang Xiaoman sneered.
"How do you deal with it? You're already injured like this, and you still want to hold on?"
Ni Yang waved his paw impatiently.
"Don't ask, this matter has nothing to do with you. I have to leave as soon as possible. I don't have time. She is still waiting for me!"
"Who is the person you are talking about? Let me help you find it!"
Zhang Xiaoman spoke in a high voice, and Ni Yang suddenly made a silencing gesture towards him.
"Shh! Be careful! Don't disturb it, it's about to wake up!"
After Ni Yang finished speaking, he broke away from Zhang Xiaoman's treatment and led the latter to move forward a large distance in an instant.
"Huh~ It's okay... The noise my brother's snake was fighting just now was too loud. It should have attracted its subconscious attention. If you continue to stay there, it will most likely wake it up."
"What...what happened?"
Zhang Xiaoman was confused.
Ni Yang glanced at him.
"Didn't your kid notice it?"
"What did you find?"
Zhang Xiaoman was even more confused.
Ni Yang looked around, paused for a moment, and then said:
"We are in that guy's dream now!"
The words are astonishing.
Zhang Xiaoman's pupils contracted.
"How could it be? Aren't we deep in the Chaos Sky? What do you mean by the dream? Who is that guy?"
He felt extremely shocked.
What is certain is that the environment he is in now is not what he hoped for, but in reality, he feels that he still has this most basic ability to distinguish.
But he couldn't help but believe what Ni Yang said, because there was no need for the other party to joke with him at this time and place.
Zhang Xiaoman looked around again, and at the same time secretly used the ability to break the illusion, but the result was that the surroundings remained as usual, without any changes.
Now he can be sure that he is not in some illusion, but actually in reality, and it is even less likely that he has been affected by some mental illusion. Because of the ability of the Lord of the Spirit Star, he is immune to all mental attacks.
Ni Yang shook his head and said:
"Dreams may not always be false, they may also be real. Come, I will take you to a place."
As it spoke, it accelerated and flew forward. When Zhang Xiaoman saw it, he followed it with confusion.
One person and one dragon flew for a while without encountering any other obstacles along the way, and soon arrived at a somewhat special area.
"Did you see it? The place in front."
"That is……"
Zhang Xiaoman's heart moved, his perception was released, and he felt the breath of stars in front of him.
"Stars? Why are there stars here?"
He was greatly puzzled, and followed Niyang and accelerated forward for a certain distance, finally stopping on the entire kingdom of stars.
"There is actually civilization here!?"
In front of you is a country built on the stars, with countless ancient buildings standing in the distance, and you can't even see it at a glance.
Zhang Xiaoman was simply stunned. He never expected to see a cluster of buildings here.
You must know that this is a chaotic airspace. Even the demons are not willing to come to this kind of place. How can civilization appear?
But everything in front of him was a fact that could not be faked. The buildings he had just perceived were clearly real and not some illusion.
"Sometimes dreams are not false, they can also come true."
Ni Yang repeated what he just said, this time causing Zhang Xiaoman to think deeply.
"Are you saying that the world we are in now is actually in this guy's dream?"
"It's hard to talk about the world, but this entire place that you think is the chaotic airspace is indeed generated by its dreams..."
"You have to know that Chaos Airspace is a real desperate situation. Every step here is difficult. How could you and I get to this position so easily?"
"So in fact we have not really entered the chaotic airspace, but have been wandering around its periphery, and this peripheral area is its dream!"
"The fight between me and the snake just now was too loud and could easily attract its subconscious attention, so we have to avoid it first. Once it wakes up, the entire area will collapse!"
Zhang Xiaoman felt his scalp numb and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Using dreams to evolve reality, what kind of existence can be capable of such a huge feat?
A few words popped into his mind instantly.
High to the extraordinary level!
Zhang Xiaoman really couldn't figure out who else could achieve this level besides this kind of existence?
Thinking of this, even he couldn't help but feel his heart beat a little faster.
A high-level extraordinary person, this is the first time that he has been so close to an upper-level extraordinary person. Although he has not seen the other person's true face until now, this immersive and shocking feeling, It has made him understand the gap between himself and the other party.
"Who is it? And where is it?"
Zhang Xiaoman asked the doubts in his heart.
Ni Yang shook his head and said:
"I don't know where it is, I only know its name, Nightmare."
"nightmare!?"
Zhang Xiaoman was shocked.
"Nama? Is it him?"
Those two words immediately appeared in his mind, and he never expected that he would come into contact with the other party in this place.
But... all this seems a little unreasonable...
If the Demon Lord was sleeping, why could he detect the terrifying aura of the other party several times?
Just like when he was on the Pinnacle Star not long ago, the Pinnacle Commander even summoned the opponent's consciousness general through sacrifice. From this point of view, it doesn't look like he is sleeping at all.
"Could it be that that is another consciousness besides his own body? The skill of distraction should be easy to use with that person's strength..."
Zhang Xiaoman is a little confused now, but if you go by the name Ni Yang said, this nightmare and the demon lord should be the right ones. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?
"Ni Yang, since you know that the Demon Lord is sleeping here, why did you come here? Leave now before he finds us!"
Zhang Xiaoman persuaded.
Ni Yang shook his head and said:
"I won't leave for the time being. I have a reason to come here. I must find her. I have lost her once. I will never fail this time! And... I can feel... She needs my help..."
Zhang Xiaoman's head is filled with black threads. Why is this guy so persistent? Who is he looking for?
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party for a while, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said:
"Ni Yang, tell me the whole story! I'll help you find it! Your injuries are too serious, you definitely can't do it alone!"
Ni Yang did not refuse immediately this time, but fell into a long silence.
Zhang Xiaoman was waiting aside, his hands not idle. The original power once again evolved into life energy to help it repair its wounds.
"That's fine..."
It suddenly sighed, its body relaxed, and its eyes looked into the distance, which seemed to be mixed with a sad aftertaste.
"That man... used to be my master..."
"What!?"
The first sentence made Zhang Xiaoman startled, and he couldn't help but follow the movements of his hands.
There was no way, it wasn't that he wasn't calm, it was just that the news was a bit too exciting, and just the beginning aroused his burning soul of gossip.
Ni Yang glared at him dissatisfiedly, and when the latter closed his mouth knowingly, he continued:
"You heard that right, don't be too surprised. Yes, I did have a master once. Her name was Zizi..."
"At that time, I was just born, and I was being chased by powerful spiritual beasts. My life was hanging by a thread. It was she who saved me."
Yearning began to appear in Ni Yang's eyes.
"At that time, she lived alone, with no relatives or friends, just like me..."
"I was still young at the time, and the inherited memories had not been fully opened. I was ignorant and became her little follower..."
When Zhang Xiaoman said this, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The two of us just live in the fairy world without any worries. She taught me a lot of things, including martial arts, magical powers, and various techniques to deal with enemies."
"But I didn't study seriously. I thought my life at that time was already the best. What's the use of learning so many things? I just wanted to play with her, and I didn't even think about wasting time on those things. Regarding things..."
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but picture a scene of a little cyan dragon playing with a girl. The girl just scolded it for not practicing hard, but when it was time for dinner, she brought back a lot of delicacies that the little dragon liked. food.
Ni Yang shook his head, and the smile on his face gradually faded, and finally turned into a look of resentment mixed with sadness.
"Just when I thought we would continue to live like this, one day she suddenly disappeared and left quietly. I stood at the door of my house waiting day after day. I didn't even remember waiting. How long has it been, until the vegetation has been replaced, until the trees have rotted, until our hut has been reduced to ruins, until I have grown up completely, she has not come back..."
"I knew she was not dead because my talent allowed me to sense the traces of the people closest to me, but I also knew she would never come back. From that moment on, I left the place where I originally lived and went to To Biluoquan."
"It wasn't until later, until you brought me to this world, that I suddenly felt her breath. It was very strong. I knew I couldn't sense it wrong. She was right here, at this location..."
"So...you came here without hesitation?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at it, and there was no complaint in his eyes at the beginning.
It turns out that this is the reason why Ni Yang came here. It turns out that this seemingly invincible old guy has such a past behind him.
Ni Yang thought for a while and said:
"I don't know what to say, but I can feel that she is here, so I came. I must ask why she was so decisive to leave!"
Zhang Xiaoman patted his head with a strange expression to express comfort.
Okay, now why do I always feel like I'm listening to a bloody romance drama? When did this guy Ni Yang turn into the role of a little resentful woman who was abandoned by others?
"But Niyang, why can't I sense you through the ring? Where's your ring?"
Zhang Xiaoman then asked another question in his mind.
Ni Yang bared his teeth and said angrily:
"The ring was snatched away! I was pulled into a dream without knowing it, and then the ring was snatched away! The guy said he needed the power in my ring. I could hardly resist, and the ring disappeared. !”
Zhang Xiaoman's expression became serious.
"Dream? Could it be that the guy who stole your ring is..."
"That's right! It's a nightmare!"
