The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 6, Part 06: The Four Devours of the Heavenly Demon!

"That is a demon lurking in human dreams."

Iliana solemnly stated:

"It can pull you into a dream anytime, anywhere, and in the terrifying dream it creates, it will conjure up your deepest fears to frighten, harm, and torment you. The more afraid you are, the stronger it becomes. When its power grows to a certain extent, all the harm you suffer in the dream will be reflected in reality. If you are killed by it in the dream, you will also die in reality at the same time."

She shrugged and then said:

"Compared to it, Jason is just a child. If Jason were to fight it one-on-one without anyone's help, he would only be dragged into a dream and tormented at will."

After hearing Iriana's description, Li Xingzhou already knew who the demon was.

Without a doubt, it was Freddy Krueger, the infamous Nightmare on Elm Street.

Iriana is powerful, but her strength can only be fully realized in the Hell Dimension.

In the real world, her abilities would be greatly diminished.

Freddy's abilities are too unique. Even if he can't deal with Iriana, who has an extremely strong mental defense, he can choose not to provoke her, lurk in the dream world, stay far away from her, and continuously kill the weak to strengthen himself.

Iriana's mental abilities are more defensive, so she can't actively infiltrate the dream and drag Freddy out of it.

Therefore, Iriana needs an assistant who would be seen as prey by Freddy, but who has a strong mind and can remain clear-headed in dreams, distinguishing between reality and dreams, to help her pull Freddy out of dreams and into reality.

"No problem, I should be able to do that."

Li Xingzhou didn't refuse and readily agreed, adding:
"But I need to make some preparations first."

Iliana didn't press for details, but only asked him:

How long will it take to prepare?

Li Xingzhou pondered for a moment, "We should be able to get it ready by tonight."

"Okay, I'll come find you again tonight."

Iliana downed the remaining wine in her glass and teleported away.

Although her portal opened and closed in an instant, Li Xingzhou still keenly sensed the situation behind the portal the moment it opened.

It was a cruel, scorched land, barren of lava and flames, filled with negative energy such as chaos, darkness, depravity, and violence. Iriana's spatial teleportation did not go directly to its destination, but rather used her "Hell's Border" dimension as a transit point.

Therefore, each time she teleports, she first opens a portal to jump to the edge of hell, and then teleports from the edge of hell to her destination.

"The border of hell, an interesting place. Speaking of which, as an old demon from countless lifetimes, shouldn't I also carve out a territory in hell and become a lord for fun? Hmm, no, I'm going to change my ways in this life... So, I'll create an 'Eighteen Levels of Hell' in the hell dimension, imprison the souls of demons and sinners, punish them with all sorts of cruel tortures, help them atone for their sins, and guide them towards goodness?"

Li Xingzhou thought this idea had great potential.

He could even persuade Iriana to cooperate with him, using the prison where she imprisoned demons as an experimental site...

After letting his thoughts wander for a moment, Li Xingzhou gathered his thoughts and picked up the silver revolver on the table.

This is a custom-made Colt Python pistol with a 6-inch barrel plated with the letters LW in gold. The left side of the walnut grip is embossed with an exquisitely detailed rose, while the right side features an embossed devil's head with goat horns, giving it a distinctly artistic feel.

This gun was a sixteenth birthday gift from his father in this life. Since taking over the nightclub and becoming Kingpin's debt collector two years ago, more than a dozen people have died by this gun, making it a highly decorated weapon.

After fiddling with the silver revolver for a while, Li Xingzhou slipped his finger into the trigger guard and twirled it a few times like a cowboy, whistling and laughing.

“I like American-style traditional martial arts.” Putting away his pistol, Li Xingzhou found a paper cutter in his desk drawer, went back to the bathroom, and began preparing for tonight’s operation.

That said, while Freddy is best at dream killing, it doesn't mean he's a pushover in real life.

Freddy's close-quarters combat skills are also quite good; even when dragged into reality, he can hold his own against Jason.

Li Xingzhou was actually confident that he could take down Freddy directly in the dream, but he still had to be prepared for any eventuality.

His physical body is still quite fragile. No matter how good his foundation is, he is still just a mortal. To be on the safe side, he needs to strengthen his body first.

As for how to strengthen...

“Jason, my dear little brother.”

In the bathroom, Li Xingzhou smiled and looked at the tall and burly Jason, and said softly:
"Your brother needs your help now..."

As he spoke, Jason knelt down on one knee before him like a knight being knighted.

Li Xingzhou used a paper cutter to cut his fingertip, drew a bloody talisman in his palm, then formed a hand seal, chanted an incantation, and finally, with his hand in a claw shape, suddenly slammed it down on Jason's head, and whispered:
"The Heavenly Demon Devours Flesh!"

This is a demonic art created by Li Xingzhou in one of his lifetimes by drawing on the essence of demonic cultivation from all over the world. It can seize the essence of the target's flesh and blood, and even their physical talents and traits, and turn them into his own.

Too lazy to come up with a name, he simply used the move name from the "Legend of the Emperor" Heavenly Demon Skill.

Therefore, in addition to the "Heavenly Demon Flesh Erosion" which plunders the essence of flesh and blood and physical characteristics, there is also the "Heavenly Demon Meridian Erosion" which seizes the target's true essence, magic power and meridian talent, the "Heavenly Demon Bone Erosion" which plunders the target's bone marrow essence and root bone talent, and the "Heavenly Demon Soul Erosion" which seizes the target's primordial spirit, soul and soul talent.

Of course, the "Heavenly Demon Bliss" was also indispensable, but Li Xingzhou always only used this move on female cultivators...

The demonic path is known for its unorthodox methods and extremely rapid progress.

And this "speed" lies in the speed of plundering everything to nourish oneself.

Even though Li Xingzhou currently has no cultivation at all, with Jason, a blood bag that won't resist and will let him do whatever he wants, he can still build a decent physical foundation for himself by relying on his accumulated foundation from past lives and using Jason's blood essence and physical characteristics.

As the demonic power was unleashed, Li Xingzhou's hand, which was gripping Jason's head, emitted a blinding red light, turning the bathroom crimson, like a blood-soaked demon's lair.

A stream of black and red energy emanated from Jason's body and flowed into Li Xingzhou's palm.

At the same time, Jason's burly and robust body withered and shriveled at a visible rate.

This situation looks quite terrifying.

Imagine, a burly man like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson suddenly becoming skin and bones like a dried-up corpse – it's truly chilling.

However, this didn't actually do much harm to Jason; it just made him weak for a while.

After all, Jason has achieved a kind of conceptual "immortality." Even if his body is blown to pieces or burned to ashes, it only temporarily sends him back to hell. When the time comes, he can be resurrected with full health.

Even Li Xingzhou, with his current abilities, is not enough to truly and completely destroy Jason.

When the spell ended, the red light faded.

On the surface, Li Xingzhou may appear no different, but the essence of his physical body has undergone a complete transformation compared to his previous mortal form.
