Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 346 The war begins

"Second-hand holy and Buddhist instruments, selling cheaply."

"Holy water blessed by a priest, a powerful weapon against vampires and werewolves. Not 998, just 98! Take 98 home..."

"Take a look, take a look, the Transu Spell Collection contains one hundred small and medium-sized spell models."

"Don't miss it if you pass by..."

Countless apostles from the Nightmare Space were hawking their wares in the square like small vendors. In the beginning, this was a spontaneous gathering of apostles to exchange what they had, and later, with the permission of the Nightmare Space, it grew bigger and bigger, and finally formed such a large bazaar.

Some people also frequently cast their eyes on a young man in a black robe with a friendly and kind face at a stall.

In response to these looks, the young man simply responded with a kind smile.

Recently, the name Black Shadow has become very popular in the Nightmare Space.

Just because he made a lot of money during this period by selling a treasure called Shadow Seed.

Although this shadow seed is slightly expensive, after being integrated into the body, it can condense into a powerful shadow ninja. It can also be used as a substitute for death at critical moments, greatly increasing the chance of survival. Although it has the side effect of magnifying the evil side of the heart, it is still very popular among the lower-level apostles.

Of course, the reason why Shadow Seeds are so popular is also because of the apostles' trust in Nightmare Space. The transactions in the square are recognized by Nightmare Space and are backed by Nightmare Space.

As long as it is a formally signed transaction, no apostle would dare to do anything behind the scenes. Otherwise, once the contract is violated, the trader will be severely punished by the nightmare space, and may even be completely erased from the time cause and effect, with no possibility of resurrection.

Through this shadow seed, he not only earned a huge amount of profit and became a wealthy man in the nightmare space, but also attracted the attention of countless people, making countless people jealous, and many of these eyes were malicious.

There are even several Apostle Guilds that are planning on hunting him down in order to obtain the treasure that contains the Shadow Seed, especially after he rejected the invitations from those large guilds.

Although you cannot take action in the Nightmare Space, and the task assignments in the Nightmare Space are also random, it does not mean that those guilds really have no way to kill other apostles. There is an item called Tracking Card in the Nightmare Space that allows the user to match the person being tracked in the next mission.

Although the price is high, it is all worth it as long as you can get that treasure that can be called a cornucopia.

"Is that almost the case?"

Sensing that the time was approaching, the young man in black robe walked out from his stall with a strange smile.

Let me fire the first shot.

"Oh my God... cough, no, this is a mess." After thinking about it, Shang An still felt that the sense of ceremony should be stronger.

So he walked to the center of the square again. Under the puzzled gazes of some people, he looked up at the pure white ball of light above the square, which symbolized the absolute authority of the Nightmare Space. He gathered all his strength and shouted loudly: "Nightmare is dead, Taiyi shall be established!"

The sound was loud and clear, covering the entire square. Even people at the edge of the square could hear it clearly.

Then all the apostles' eyes focused on him, and those who had been paying attention to Shang An were stunned.

This kid, is he trying to kill himself?

He actually dared to challenge the Nightmare Space in Nightmare Square.

Even if they have resentment towards the nightmare space in their hearts, they can only mutter a word or two in private at most. Shouting at the nightmare light ball like this is definitely a provocation.

"Damn Shadow, how dare he!"

"Damn it, I hope the punishment isn't too severe."

Some apostles were so angry that they wanted to cover Shang An's mouth. It was not because they were loyal to the Nightmare Space, or because they were worried about Shang An, but because they had already regarded the treasures on Shang An as their own, but they had not got them yet!
If Shadow is wiped out by the Nightmare Space, then the treasure will also return to the Nightmare Space. Wouldn't all their planning for so long be in vain?

As expected, faced with the blatant provocation from its apostles, the Nightmare Space became angry.

The world-destroying thunder gathered above Shang An's head, with lightning snakes flying, as if it would strike down at the next moment.

The apostles nearby all moved away from Shang An. They didn't want to be affected. Many eyes of pity, regret, resentment, or gloating fell on Shang An.

Well, it’s a pity that most of them are female apostles.

How could such a beautiful person with such a natural talent suddenly become so depressed?

However, some sharp-eyed people noticed that facing the impending thunder, Shang An's expression remained almost unchanged, and they couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

Could it be that this kid...

boom!
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion from a person in the square, and thick black fog enveloped him.

"Ah! What's going on? What is this?!"

Before the others around could react, there were more explosions one after another, one, two, one hundred, two thousand...

In this city-sized Apostle Market, tens of thousands of people were enveloped in black fog, and no one knew how many people were in the same situation in their own rooms.

"It's that seed, the shadow seed!" Finally someone realized the problem.

Most of those people who appeared in the black fog were apostles of not very strong, and they had all purchased shadow seeds from Shang An.

The thunder that was originally condensing suddenly took shape at this moment, and the pure white nightmare light ball seemed to "wake up" at this moment, and the terrifying pressure that made people tremble with fear enveloped Shang An.

"Did you find out? It's too late."

Shang An looked at the big ball of light with a sneer, even though the nightmare space was very hidden and had various barriers and measures to detect intrusions.

Even Shang An couldn't make his real body come down with just a clone.

But now, he has hundreds of thousands of incarnations. Just relying on this powerful causal connection, it is enough to open a passage in the seamless defense of the nightmare space.

That's right, every person wrapped in the black fog was turned into an incarnation by him, and those shadow seeds were originally separated from his incarnation, carrying a tiny bit of his will from the shadow plane.

Originally, this strand of will would not have any effect on the objects. For example, many magic weapons or elixirs nurtured by heaven and earth obtained from other worlds would more or less carry some of the will of that world, so no abnormalities were found in the nightmare space.

However, this will was used in a variety of ways in Shang An's hands. The Shadow Plane was his clone, and the will of the Shadow Plane was his will, and his will was the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Taiyi World, a human-shaped Heavenly Dao with self-awareness.

Even though this strand of will is so weak that it is almost not worth mentioning, its status is extremely high. How could those low-level apostles who have actively integrated into the shadow seed resist the assimilation of this strand of will?

In just a moment, he became the incarnation of Shang An.

This is also the reason why Shang An’s shadow seeds are only targeted at low-level apostles. It’s not that he cannot produce more advanced shadow seeds, but if he wants to assimilate those high-level apostles, the seeds need to contain more will, which is a thankless task.

It would be better to just target those low-level apostles.

The violent thunder destroyed Shang An's clone almost instantly, and the incarnations of hundreds of thousands of low-level apostles were also wiped out in the first place by the "awakened" nightmare light ball.

But it was too late.

The spatial barrier of the nightmare space twisted, and then, in the horrified gazes of the crowd, a big hand tore a hole in it. Then another hand stretched in from the hole, and the two big hands pressed on both sides of the hole, tearing it into a big hole in an instant.

"What, what is that?" The apostle, who had not yet recovered from the accident, was stunned for a moment when he saw the hole in the sky.

"Fuck! This is an invasion! Someone is invading the nightmare space!"

Some people reacted and their faces changed drastically.

The being that tore the big hole did not come in immediately, but it seemed like something hit the hole.

A silent collision.

The apostles in the square felt as if their souls were being shattered and their faces turned pale.

"That, that is a world!!!"

A veteran apostle who had reached the twelfth level, close to the top level, pointed at the big hole and said in a lost voice.

Behind the big hole, I saw a vast world with lush ancient trees and a wild atmosphere.

The most crucial thing is that in that world near the cave entrance, there are actually countless powerful auras emerging, as if there is a terrifying army ready to go hidden.

No, there really is an army!

Some of the apostles fell to the ground.

Angels, demons, devils, saints, elementals, monsters, monks, wizards, Zerg and even starships, all beings that exist in science fiction or mythology filed in from the big hole, making these apostles feel extremely unreal.

Suddenly I feel like the nightmare space is a bit rubbish.

What is even more despairing is that in that huge army, except for the starships controlled by robots, the strength of every other person is beyond the twelfth level and has reached the level of gods and demons.

They cursed and cried in fear, wanting to escape, but the nightmare dimension did not give them the opportunity.

A mission was issued to all the apostles, and even those who were carrying out missions in other worlds were urgently called back.

[Red alert! Red alert!! Mission: Resist the invaders, please be prepared, escapees, kill them!!!] Bloody subtitles appeared in front of many apostles.

More than four million figures appeared in the square at the same time. Some of them were even covered in blood, obviously having been fighting the moment before.

At the same time, eighteen god-like and devil-like figures appeared in the sky above the square and formed a confrontation with the invading army. These were the apostles who truly stood at the top of the nightmare space, known as the Three Emperors, Five Kings and Ten Dharma Protectors. Each of them had the strength of a god or devil, and was the object of admiration of many apostles.

However, when they saw the opposing team's lineup, their faces instantly fell, their scalps went numb, and they lost all desire to fight.

There are a hundred thousand gods and demons on the opposite side, they just have to fight with their heads!

Especially, the aura of many of them made them feel extremely dangerous. They were definitely powerful beings who had reached the peak of gods and demons. Even if they came together, they would be just a piece of cake in front of others!
The so-called realm of gods and demons in the nightmare space actually has a huge span. Entering the realm of gods and demons for the first time is equivalent to a strong man in the holy realm of covering the sky, while the peak of the realm of gods and demons is equivalent to a true immortal.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the span of this realm of gods and demons just corresponds to the true fairyland in Shang An’s original cultivation system.

Among the so-called Three Emperors, Five Kings and Ten Dharma Protectors, only four have reached the Emperor realm, and one of them has just reached this realm. All together, they are not even enough to be a True Immortal.

The comparison of strength is enough to make people despair.

At this time, the world-destroying thunder appeared again, and billions of terrifying lightning snakes struck the army composed of various fantasy races, trying to wipe out this army.

Seeing this, many apostles showed hope in their eyes.

In the past, in their eyes, the Nightmare Space was an omnipotent existence, and now they can only pin their hopes on the Nightmare Space being powerful enough.

Even those who hold a grudge against the Nightmare Space now hope that the Nightmare Space can win.

Otherwise, once the nightmare space is breached, what good end will these apostles have?

However, a big hand gently wiped across the void, and the devastating lightning was easily wiped out, just like being erased by an eraser.

"King against king, general against general, don't break the rules."

A sacred figure radiating endless brilliance, reaching heaven and earth, said so. On the hands of this figure were two other figures, who were Li Yingxue and Qiu Mimi.

After all, he is the one who works diligently for him, he can't just leave him alone. Shang An is not that cruel.

"It's him!"

An apostle who practiced pupil techniques saw Shang An's face through the dazzling light and was immediately struck by lightning.

"It's him! It's him! It's him..."

After shouting for a while, the man fell silent.

He saw Shang An's unreserved figure clearly, but his soul could not bear it and was completely annihilated.

"leave here!"

A huge human face suddenly appeared on the big ball of light that had been standing above the square. It was impossible to tell whether the face was young or old, or whether it was old or gender. One could only feel its indifference and faint anger.

A very mechanical voice came out from the mouth of the human face.

In the ears of many apostles, this extremely familiar voice is the mission reminder sound of the nightmare space.

"Leave?" Shang An raised his eyebrows, glanced at the man's face, and said with a smile:

"Nightmare is dead, Taiyi is in power, I said it!"

"How about you just surrender?"

The man's face became even colder, and he was about to open his mouth, but Shang An had already slapped him. With a loud "pa" sound, the unexpected slap interrupted his words.

"A battle in Xu Hai." Shang An said.

The man said nothing more, but the anger on his face became more obvious.

The two of them ascended into the virtual sea.

For Shang An, the Nightmare Space has already belonged to him, so he naturally did not want to fight here, so as not to destroy it. But for Nightmare, the Nightmare Space is his foundation, so the two of them tacitly moved the battlefield.

And with the departure of the two, the army from the Taiyi world also began to fight with the reincarnations.

To be precise, it was a one-sided massacre.

The apostles had no intention of fighting and wanted to escape from here directly, or surrender. However, all their strength came from the nightmare space. At this moment, they had no room to resist the nightmare space and could only bite the bullet and fight.
