Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Tier Three Great Dream Traveling Technique, 8 Times the Time Flow Speed

Li Wei made a bold decision.

He was going to take a look inside Tyr’s dream.

Besides this, he didn’t know of any other way to find a breakthrough.

Infiltrating the dream of a Grand Mage was far more dangerous than entering anyone else’s.

This was true even if the target wasn’t a Grand Mage who specialized in Spiritual Magic.

Li Wei began preparing with all his might for what was to come.

For the next few days, Li Wei frantically hunted Nightmares in the Dream World to raise the Level of his Great Dream Traveling Skill.

With the current turmoil in Maple City, there were faint signs of a large-scale, fused Nightmare forming.

Li Wei could easily find dream realms containing Nightmares.

If all else failed, he could even bait a trap.

He could open up his own Dream Bubble, lure a Nightmare inside, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop.

For the first two days, Li Wei was still searching everywhere for Nightmares.

On the third day, Li Wei happened to see a Nightmare Vortex.

Only then did he remember what was happening at Frostwind Fortress.

He entered the Nightmare Vortex.

He appeared on the wall of a black fortress.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Shouts of battle, whistling winds, agonizing wails, and the sound of explosions constantly filled his ears.

Li Wei turned his head and saw soldiers in two different types of Armor fighting a bloody battle on the walls.

Looking down, he saw the battlefield continued below.

The inside and outside of the fortress had long since descended into chaos, becoming a giant meat grinder.

Nightmares had transformed into human soldiers, killing everywhere.

Their forms shifted constantly between the two factions, their sole purpose to create more Power of Nightmare.

Some Nightmares enjoyed backstabbing their "allies," savoring the resentful flavor of the Power of Nightmare produced when their victims died from betrayal.

Other Nightmares preferred to crush their enemies with brute force, absorbing the despair-flavored Power of Nightmare from the moment of human death.

As for Li Wei, he preferred the Nightmare Cores left behind after the Nightmares died.

In reality, over a hundred thousand soldiers were gathered inside and outside Frostwind Fortress.

Including logistics personnel, the number exceeded two hundred thousand, approaching the three hundred thousand mark.

There were even more people here than in Cold Sand City.

The fused dream realm of Frostwind Fortress was also much larger than that of Cold Sand City.

Moreover, it was still growing and had not yet reached its limit.

"Shadow Attendant, bring back the Nightmare Cores."

Li Wei moved through the battlefield, hunting Nightmares.

A single Small Fireball Technique could instantly kill a Tier One Nightmare.

A single Fireball Skill could take out a Tier Two Nightmare.

One Charged Fireball could annihilate a Tier Three Nightmare.

Li Wei became the nightmare of the Nightmares on the battlefield.

BANG!

A massive figure appeared on the battlefield.

Li Wei watched from a distance with a grave expression, not daring to get closer.

Just as he had expected, such a massive nightmare dream realm would inevitably give birth to a Tier Four Nightmare.

Tier Four Nightmares were exceptionally powerful.

They were unrivaled.

For now, Li Wei had no intention of provoking such a powerful monster.

After hunting in Frostwind Fortress for the entire night, the Great Dream Traveling Skill finally leveled up.

[Great Dream Traveling Skill (Tier Two)] 0/10000

Li Wei’s expression shifted slightly as he sensed a change in his surroundings.

’This feeling... am I about to enter the third layer of the Dream World?’

BANG!

The dream realm beneath his feet shattered, and Li Wei began to Fall.

The Shadow Attendant quickly Returned, burrowing into his body.

After a long while, Li Wei landed.

Ripples spread out from beneath his feet.

He looked around, a surprised expression on his face.

This was still the River of Dreams.

’There’s no third layer?’

Li Wei looked up and froze for a moment.

The stars, once unreachable, were now closer.

He could even see the palaces and buildings on the Dream Realm Stars.

’Are there people up there?’

Li Wei was a little surprised.

He tried to fly toward the Dream Realm Stars.

He couldn’t get any closer.

Even the Tier Two Great Dream Traveling Skill couldn’t bring him closer to the Dream Realm Stars.

This was indeed the third layer of the Dream World.

When Li Wei used his Great Dream Traveling Skill, he felt as if his soul was leaving his body.

Returning to the second layer of the Dream World, his view of the River of Dreams underwent a world-shaking change.

The Dream Fog had vanished.

He could see everything in the second layer of the Dream World clearly.

The Dream Bubbles had also changed.

They were no longer fleeting bubbles that flashed past in the River of Dreams.

Countless Dream Bubbles were neatly arranged, and Li Wei could see the scenes within them at a single glance.

Suddenly, a Dream Bubble slowly shattered.

After a moment, a new Dream Bubble emerged to replace the one that had broken.

Li Wei knew that the rate at which the Dream Bubbles shattered hadn’t actually slowed down.

It was just that he was in the third layer of the Dream World, where the flow of time was much faster than in the second layer.

It was even faster than in the first layer of the Dream World, where the Dream Bubbles resided.

Therefore, from his perspective, the shattering of the Dream Bubbles appeared to have slowed.

After some testing, Li Wei learned that the flow of time in the third layer of the Dream World was four times faster than in reality.

Li Wei looked down and saw several Lost Souls wandering in the second layer of the Dream World.

He entered the second layer of the Dream World.

He found the Lost Souls and killed them one by one.

With his map-like overview, the Lost Souls lost their visual advantage over Li Wei.

In total, Li Wei obtained eight Soul Crystals.

Using Soul Crystals together with Magic Potions made his Cultivation more effective.

’That’s enough for today. Time to head back.’ 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Li Wei exited the Dream World.

When he returned to reality, he felt a sense of disorientation, as if ages had passed.

It took him a moment to get his bearings.

’To be safe, I should grind the Great Dream Traveling Skill to Tier Three before I go looking for Tyr.’

「September 15th.」

Li Wei had been fighting in the nightmare of Frostwind Fortress for several days.

He had lost count of how many Nightmares he had killed.

The higher the Level of his Great Dream Traveling Skill, the less experience the Nightmares provided.

This forced Li Wei to find ways to hunt Nightmares of Tier Three and above.

He had even managed to kill a Tier Four Nightmare with great effort.

It helped that Nightmares were physically weak and easy to take down.

A normal Tier Four Magical Beast would have been much harder to kill.

The Shadow Attendant had also benefited greatly these past few days. Well-fed, its Level had already reached Tier Two Peak.

Li Wei crushed a Tier Three Nightmare Core.

A stream of light flew into his body.

’This is the last one.’

[Tier Three Great Dream Traveling Technique] 0/10000

The familiar sensation of falling returned.

The dream realm beneath Li Wei’s feet collapsed, and he sank continuously.

The Shadow Attendant had already returned to his body a step ahead.

’What does the fourth layer of the Dream World look like?’

Suddenly, Li Wei’s heart tightened as he sensed a wave of danger.

He looked up and saw a massive, blurry figure pass by outside the falling passage.

Li Wei was horrified.

’What is that thing?’

SPLASH!

Li Wei landed, and the water’s surface beneath his feet rippled, the waves spreading outward.

He was back in the River of Dreams again.

A sunset-red glow illuminated the River of Dreams, casting a blood-red hue over everything.

Li Wei looked up. A colossal, boundless red star had appeared at the end of the River of Dreams, half-submerged within it.

He walked toward the star.

This was the closest he had ever been to the Dream Realm Stars.

But no matter how he walked, the distance between him and the red star did not shrink.

He looked up and saw one hundred and seven stars remaining in the sky.

They were getting closer and closer.

A thought struck Li Wei. ’If I master the Cultivation of the Great Dream Traveling Skill, will I be able to ascend to these stars?’

’What are these stars?’

’And what was that giant thing I saw just now?’

For now, Li Wei couldn’t figure it out.

In the fourth layer of the Dream World, the fog over the River of Dreams was dispelled by the red star’s radiance.

He looked down and saw the third layer of the Dream World.

The third layer of the Dream World was teeming with enormous monsters.

He hadn’t encountered a single one last time. He had been truly lucky.

After a bit of testing, Li Wei concluded that the flow of time in the fourth layer of the Dream World was eight times faster than in reality.
