I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 310 - 209: Countermove

Because the Dream Demon needed a powerful vessel capable of bearing his spirit and soul.

Once breaking through to Tier Nine, Chen Zhongxia would become the most suitable one for him.

This is the real reason why the Dream Demon plotted against Chen Zhongxia.

"But you failed," Han Zhan said.

Yes, the Dream Demon failed.

His meticulously crafted plan did not have any mistakes in each step, but at the final moment of reaping the fruits, he underestimated these Anti-Xia Alliance members’ resilience and their courage to fight to the death.

"Yes, I failed twice, but this time, I will not fail again."

"Han Zhan, although your flesh body is not as powerful as a Tier Nine Sword Cultivator, your talent is far greater than anyone I have ever seen."

"If I can successfully possess you and make you my new host, it might not be a better choice."

The Dream Demon unapologetically revealed his purpose.

This raised Han Zhan’s vigilance.

The Dream Demon couldn’t be so kind-hearted; he was willing to say so much here only because he had great confidence, perhaps even guaranteed success.

Where did his confidence come from?

The Dream Demon saw the wary look on Han Zhan’s face, and he resumed his previous elegant smile.

He slowly took out a dagger, showing it to Han Zhan.

"Remember this dagger? It’s the one that pierced into you that night."

"Although there was only one Dream True Fruit and it has already been consumed by Chen Zhongxia, after all these years, I haven’t been able to cultivate a second one."

"However, regarding the method of planting the Seed of Nightmare in others, over these years, I’ve developed no less than a hundred methods."

Just as the Dream Demon said this, Han Zhan moved on the opposite side.

The scar on his chest suddenly disintegrated into countless tiny particles, the Heaven’s Origin Power of the Nuwa Stone was activated, and inconspicuous black particles were extracted and expelled from Han Zhan’s body!

Finally, the extracted black particles condensed into the shape of a seed.

The Dream Demon saw this scene and couldn’t help but applaud again.

"You always surprise me, one after another. These powerful talent abilities will all be mine once I successfully possess you!"

The Dream Demon spoke with greed in his eyes.

He continued, stating the last sentence.

"Since you’ve already seen the memory images just now, don’t you find it strange? There’s one place that you all overlooked."

"That is, how could I appear here at the first moment the Spiritual Awareness Pill erupted."

"Because, Bai Su!"

When the Dream Demon uttered these two words, Bai Su outside the Memory World suddenly opened her eyes.

In her eyes, the black Nightmare Fire also ignited!

Back when stopping Dream Demon, Bai Su was burned by Nightmare Fire, planting the Heart Seed.

This was the Dream Demon’s backup plan.

Because the soul still existed, Dream Demon’s method couldn’t make her a host, but under the control of the Heart Seed, she still raised a dagger high.

A dagger, identical to the one in the Memory World that the Dream Demon showed Han Zhan.

It pierced firmly into Han Zhan’s body.

A moment later.

A dense, extreme black Nightmare Fire erupted and burned instantly on Han Zhan!

Seeing this scene, the Dream Demon finally laughed heartily.

A piercing pain spread throughout Han Zhan from the position of his heart.

The abnormalities outside quickly synced to his self in the Memory World.

Seeing the familiar black Nightmare Fire ignite on his body, Han Zhan learned the source of the Dream Demon’s confidence.

His tricks were actually outside the Memory World!

Due to the effect of the Spiritual Awareness Pill, Han Zhan was now completely separated from himself outside the Memory World, and it was too late to react!

"Additionally, I’ve reflected on the fundamental reason for my failures through these two failures."

The Dream Demon walked towards Han Zhan, talking as he walked:

"I always waited until the soul burned out before parasitizing in the host, which led to strange methods and variables appearing from you all."

"So, all these years, I’ve worked hard in this area too, and now with the Nightmare Fire burning, I can parasitize directly!"

"So, are you ready?"

As soon as the Dream Demon finished speaking, his whole person turned into a black mist and thoroughly drilled into Han Zhan’s body from the center of his brows.

The black Nightmare Fire served as a bridge, allowing the Dream Demon to pass unhindered.

His heart was thrilled, excited.

He had already begun to fantasize about the things to be done after making Han Zhan a host.

Then, the Dream Demon entered deep into Han Zhan’s sea of consciousness, seeing a tree-shaped giant umbrella as if stretching across the cosmos—a massive, towering—Bodhi Treasure Tree!

Dream Demon: "6"

The Bodhi Treasure Tree was nurtured in Han Zhan’s consciousness sea, with roots tightly intertwined.

The Dream Demon took one look at it, felt the power it emitted, and abandoned the sea of consciousness without looking back, turning towards another core area instead.

"The sea of consciousness won’t work, but I still have the Dantian Qi Sea to go to. As long as any place is occupied by me, I can gradually devour you completely!"

"By then, the treasure tree in your consciousness sea will also be mine, all your treasures, talents, and women, will be mine!"

The Dream Demon shouted, laughed wildly.

And then, when transferring to the Dantian Qi Sea region, he once again instantly stopped. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Here, there was an endless dark origin, swirling as if devouring everything.

On the periphery of the endless darkness, there were Eight Trigrams symbols, forming a massive formation diagram, enveloping the entire Dantian Qi Sea region.

Dream Demon: "???"

Are you playing unfairly?

He painstakingly prepared for thousands of years, this time was when he was closest to success.

Yet the opponent also had a backup plan, and it was an overpowering one!

Nightmare, cursing, withdrew from Han Zhan’s body.

Meanwhile, the Memory World before Han Zhan started shattering inch by inch.

The collapsed world, after the scene recomposed, returned to the appearance of Buried Sword City.

Standing behind Han Zhan, Elder Bing’s eyes were unfocused, indicating he was still in some special state.

Bai Su, whose Heart Seed was detonated, had her internal soul balance broken.

Her face altered among a thousand people’s appearances, the unbalanced soul shattered in an instant.

As a pawn in the Dream Demon’s hands, her life at this moment came to an end.

Bai Su stared unblinkingly ahead.

There stood an elderly figure with a withered appearance.

But she still recognized him at first glance.

Her gaze fell on Li Tugui’s face, infinitely gentle.

She was an actress capable of transforming into countless identities and performing them all vividly and truthfully.

But in her eyes, there would always be only one person.

He was that stubborn scholar who liked to hang rules in his mouth, the instructor who taught precepts, always prioritizing the state.

Bai Su mouthed some words to Han Zhan.

Han Zhan, understanding lip reading, understood what she wanted to say.

"I’m sorry."

"Thank you."

"Please don’t tell him."
