On the slopes of Nanda Devi Mountain, at the practitioner camp.
Charlson, the cara crew, the guide, and the practitioners all felt sothing and looked up toward the peak of Nanda Devi Mountain. There, they witnessed a breathtaking scene.
It was perfectly clear, like a Divine Kingdom in the heavens.
A miracle! It was truly a miracle!
The shock in Charlson’s heart was indescribable. Compared to the destructive power of S Class individuals he had read about in the data, this scene, which transcended the physical world, felt far grander.
"It’s the Venerable’s power!"
"It’s the Venerable’s ’Brahma World’!"
"A pure land, a Divine Kingdom born from the spirit, transcending reality!"
"..."
The practitioners in the camp let out cries of astonishnt, their eyes filled with a mixture of piety, fervor, and longing.
But they soon realized sothing was wrong. The image manifesting in the sky above the peak was clearly not just Kekao’s Divine Kingdom appearing on its own.
Nightmare and lucidity, darkness and light, benevolence and malevolence—this intense stalemate and contrast were displayed plainly within the image.
"The Venerable’s Brahma World is being invaded!"
"A powerful Demon is trying to defile the holy sign!"
"A Celestial Demon! It’s a Celestial Demon!!"
"..."
Cries of alarm erupted from among the practitioners, for they saw that in the clash across the sky, light and darkness were locked in a stalemate. The light could not imdiately banish the dark.
"Perhaps the Venerable requires our humble assistance."
Soone spoke up.
And so, Charlson and the others watched as the practitioners in the camp all sat down on the ground again. Their breathing steadied, and they seed to re-enter a state of ditation.
The next mont, Charlson felt a daze as a faint, fluorescent light, imperceptible to the naked eye, seed to emanate from the practitioners’ emaciated bodies.
These faint lights gathered, growing from many small points into one, and actually ford a pillar of light that shot straight into the heavens.
Bathed in this light, Charlson and the others felt, for the first ti, the imnse power of the human spirit, separate from the physical body.
Piety, resilience, persistence, endurance, tranquility...
Streams of this positive spiritual energy surged skyward, pouring into the scene in the sky.
"Do you feel that?"
Within the Brahma World, Kekao, who was locked in a stalemate with Doctor Nightmare, suddenly spoke with a faint smile.
Doctor Nightmare narrowed his eyes. He felt a power he had loathed above all others for thousands of years.
It was the Pure White Power, originating from the Witch Ancestor of the Northern India Continent, the Ancient Hero "White."
He controlled nightmares and fear, while the Pure White Power used the good will of all living beings to construct an absolute, perfect dream.
"For thousands of years, what has kept you sealed is not the power of this world, but the longing for light from the countless beings who live in it!"
Kekao spoke slowly. As the positive spiritual energy poured in, the light of creation’s dawn in his palm grew even more intense and dazzling.
The gray mist finally began to show signs of dispersing.
"Heh."
At that mont, Doctor Nightmare let out a soft laugh.
"I finally understand. No matter how many tis we do this, you stubborn, foolish fools will never truly change."
"If we want to rule this world, just eliminating the Spirit Guardians is far from enough. We must also completely erase concepts like ’Martial Dao,’ ’transcendence,’ and ’Cultivation’ from human society and history."
"This plan must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Doctor Nightmare said with a smile.
Hearing Doctor Nightmare’s words, the smile on Kekao’s face vanished completely. His expression beca terrifyingly calm.
"If you want to completely enslave our people, you’ll have to wipe our physical bodies from this world entirely. Otherwise, a single spark will be enough to ignite a raging inferno once more."
The light in Kekao’s hand suddenly erupted, engulfing everything and dispelling the gray mist.
"Is that so? Then we shall wait and see."
Doctor Nightmare smiled as his form completely disintegrated into a cloud of gray mist, which was then utterly expelled from the Brahma World by the endless light.
In the outside world, everyone on Nanda Devi Peak could see the Divine Kingdom in the sky beco engulfed by endless light in an instant, banishing all darkness and evil.
ROAR!!
Charlson and the others witnessed this scene and couldn’t help but cheer.
Although they didn’t know what had transpired within that miraculous display, seeing light triumph over darkness filled their hearts with an irrepressible joy.
Human beings are creatures who are born to yearn for the light.
...
...
anwhile, within the formless, gray nightmare enshrouding the Starry Sky Country, Doctor Nightmare, seated upon his throne of mist, suddenly opened his eyes. His face was perfectly calm, showing no frustration over his failure.
’The Bosha Country’s stance is now set in stone. The alliance of the Three Great Eastern Nations is a done deal. With Donghua Martial Arts University as the core and the Instinct Theory as the foundation, once they establish a complete system, it will inevitably set off a frenzy of Martial Dao and Cultivation across the Far East Continent.’
’An idea is the wildest of seeds. Once it’s been fully planted, uprooting it is no simple matter...’
’Furthermore, while they didn’t exist in ancient tis, in this era, these people might beco an even greater variable than the Spirit Guardians, breaking through the limits that ordinary people have never surpassed...’
’I can’t let them continue to accumulate power so peacefully.’
Doctor Nightmare’s mutterings were faint and erratic, seemingly devoid of any emotion.
He pondered for a mont, and a new plan seed to form in his mind.
He waved his hand. The gray mist surrounding the nightmare suddenly began to churn wildly, gathering before him. It rapidly ford an oval conference table, and one by one, seats materialized around it.
He needed to summon the upper echelons of the Celestial Organization to devise a new strategy for this matter.
Figure after figure slowly condensed from the gray mist, appearing in the seats at the conference table.
BZZZT!!
Suddenly, the gray mist in the nightmare trembled violently, like a television with a bad signal. The things that had condensed from the mist began to shake and distort wildly before completely disintegrating.
This unexpected event left even Doctor Nightmare himself stunned.
’My Power... actually went out of control for a mont?’
Just then, he suddenly felt as if he were being watched.
He whipped his head around. In the seemingly endless gray mist to one side of the nightmare, he could faintly make out a pair of red eyes, watching him quietly, seemingly without a shred of emotion.
Doctor Nightmare, who prided himself on controlling nightmares and fear, now felt a flicker of an unfamiliar emotion deep in his eyes.
It seed to be a deep-seated fear.
