Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 185 The First Nightmare
Karon's active spirit gradually calmed down, his will sank into the sea of spirit, and he fell into a deep sleep again, allowing his body to slowly grow under the nourishment of the gradually recovering ancestral dragon blood.

The fruit of the tree of life that was swallowed by Karon and stored in his stomach and sealed by magic was also consumed by the spontaneous traction of Karon's body, shattering the magic seal that sealed the life energy and breath along with the fruit of the tree of life.

The huge amount of life energy spread into the body of the ancestral red dragon, causing the blood of the ancestral red dragon to recover faster and grow stronger.

The inheritance in the dragon's blood also brings out more knowledge and inheritance. This knowledge will be gradually digested by the sleeping Charon. This is a process that every dragon will experience when sleeping.

According to the knowledge that Charon had learned in advance from Tiamat, the Queen of the Five-Colored Dragons, the dragon's treasure trove of inherited knowledge was also a very important part and an important means for the dragon to fight against other legends.

When every dragon reaches adulthood, the inheritance treasure trove flowing deep in the dragon's blood will be completely opened, forming a fixed field system of spiritual cognition like the Dragon's Treasure House, which is enough to resist and avoid the cognitive impact and overwriting of the world constructed by those orthodox legends.

This is also the reason why countless dragons appear paranoid and crazy due to the influence of inheritance. Their cognition has been completely covered and wrapped by inheritance, that is, they are protected by the bloodline of previous generations, so they will be affected by the bloodline of previous generations.

Of course, some exceptionally powerful legends are always able to go beyond the ordinary scope. The specific collision still depends on the individual differences of both parties.

However, this also reflects the unique advantages of the dragon race. They only need to lie down and sleep until they reach adulthood, and they have the basic ability to fight against those strong people who have relied on countless years of hard work to climb to the top.

However, Kallon no longer needs to wait until adulthood. His flame domain - [Everything turns to ashes] has already formed a substantial domain, which is enough to resist those legendary mental shocks.

This is why Tiamat favors this red dragon, which is still a young dragon in the eyes of the Mother of Evil Dragons. Even among the ancestral red dragons, there are very few like Charon, because it is Charon's cognition and will that influence the evolution and growth of his bloodline.

To a certain extent, it is equivalent to an external manifestation of Charon's cognitive system of the world, just like a violent red dragon with a narrow materialistic field, the field of that red dragon is precisely produced by the influence of his cognition and will.

And Caron's domain is not simply derived from his own bloodline. A large part of the reason why it has developed to such a level comes from the knowledge Caron gained from dissecting countless Infernal Flames of the same origin and extracting countless magical creatures with the same attributes in the laboratory.

If Caron is willing, he can even leave this knowledge in his blood. If the descendants who inherit Caron's blood are outstanding enough and can digest this knowledge, they will also evolve and transform in the direction of Caron.

Karon allowed his body to grow fully with the nourishment of countless sufficient life energies and the replenishment of magic power. His consciousness sank into the sea of ​​spirituality, but at the bottom, he touched the spiritual realm.

Kalon's mental energy, this powerful ability, is the integration of spirituality, mind and flesh and blood. The mental power provided to Kalon by all races and subjects ruled by Kalon comes from their spiritual devotion.

This is also the knowledge that Caron can discover and understand only when he goes deeper on this path.

Although Charon's abilities are somewhat special, he can still be classified as a psychic, or it would be more appropriate to call him a psychic spellcaster.

Of course, there are also some mages and scholars who like to call psychic spellcasters psionic mages, because the source of these spellcasters' power is always related to their own spirituality, and they all need to tap into their own spiritual power.

However, there are some differences between Charon's abilities and these generally-generalized psychic spellcasters. What psychic mages can do, Charon can do, but what Charon can do is difficult for those psychic spellcasters to accomplish.

It is like directly facing and entering and exiting the spiritual realm hidden deep in the world, which connects all living beings. It is a real yet extremely illusory spiritual realm.

For Caron, facing that illusory spiritual realm was like a dream river running through countless living beings. Caron’s own spiritual realm was like a bubble on this illusory river, independent yet interconnected.

He did not rashly break into the world of the spiritual realm. Although the spiritual realm looks like a river, it is infinitely vast and boundless inside, and one can easily get lost in it if one is not careful.

And once you step out of your own spiritual realm and enter the spiritual world, you will encounter many unpredictable dangers.

There are many evil spirits and evil creatures that are difficult for the gods to eliminate trapped in it and exiled into the spiritual world by the gods, and the bodies of those evil creatures are sealed as if in eternal silence.

This is also a method often adopted by many gods when facing difficult enemies.

It is said that the Chaos Dog Kozef, known as the Heaven's Plunderer, who specializes in devouring the souls of the gods' believers (Petitioners), was sealed in the deepest part of the spiritual world by the gods of Mount Heaven.

This chaos dog has strange abilities. The souls devoured by it will be completely destroyed. Even the power of the gods cannot save these souls. Even the right hand of the God of Justice was bitten off by this dog and was difficult to recover.

The God of Conspiracy suffered the same tragic fate as the God of Justice. This deity once sealed the Chaos Hound Kozef, but after the vengeful Chaos Hound was released, it hunted the God of Conspiracy everywhere and finally bit off one of his legs.

As a result, this Chaos Hound was exiled countless times by the gods, and was finally sealed in the spiritual world.

Caron stands in his own spiritual realm, crouching on the edge of the world and looking into the distance. The bubbles attached to the spiritual river are like being fixed on the river, seemingly flowing with the river but not sinking.

But around these bubbles rise various hazy smaller bubbles. These tiny bubbles are constantly changing. Some are born and disappear in just a moment, while others exist longer.

Caron could even use his spiritual eyes to see countless fantasy images in these tiny bubbles, which were the dreams of the owners of these bubbles.

Although the dreams of some creatures seemed very interesting, some pink spring dreams and some black nightmare dreams also aroused Caron's interest, but he did not step out of his own territory to make contact.

He does not yet possess the power to roam freely in the spiritual realm.

The legendary nightmare serpent Dendel is a horrible monster born from the first nightmare of living beings. It especially likes to devour the dreams of living beings before the dreams are about to dissipate.

Moreover, this nightmare snake particularly loves terrifying and evil dreams. Many kings are regarded as nutrients by it, and even the dreams of gods will be devoured by this giant snake.

There are countless such horrific monsters in the spiritual world, and Karon doesn't want to encounter them.

Some spiritual monsters that are so powerful that even the gods fear them can even temporarily break the protection of the world's rules on the spiritual barriers of all living beings, and wantonly absorb the spirituality of all living beings to grow.

Many creatures whose spirituality is not strong enough will always die silently in their dreams at night. It is these horrible monsters that break free from their constraints in the spiritual world.

"Obi...after that," a loud noise came from the depths of the spiritual world, and even Kalon who was on the periphery could hear it clearly.

Karon's amplified spiritual perception could even allow him to hear the horrifying echoes and roars reverberating in countless spiritual realms. Those were the remnants of the monsters and powerful beings living in the spiritual world that remained in the spiritual world.

This vague roar was obviously the remnant of the unwillingness of some powerful being.

There are also some auras in the spiritual world, which are like illusory canvases that project projections of their own existence through some mysterious force.

Karon could see a scene in the center of the river of spirituality not far away. Countless spirits were like twisted chains, blocking a bubble that was many times larger than Karon's own spiritual realm. Only the occasional projection of the stone tablet allowed Karon to see clearly.

The rich spiritual light leaps on the stone tablet and turns into ancient characters. Even if you don’t recognize these ancient characters, you can understand their meaning through spiritual touch.

But Charon did not need to risk any spiritual contact, because the stone tablet had two languages, one of which was the dragon language that dragons were born with.

Karon quickly scanned the contents and found that this was also a projection of a sealed place.

"Leviathan of fear, which gave birth to monsters and snakes,"

"The teeth are sharp and the claws are ruthless,"

"Their bodies are filled with venom, not blood," "The beasts of the continent and the deep sea bathe in the glory of power like gods,"

"Unspeakable horror, if you could see Leviathan,"

"From its horrible body came giant snakes and poisonous dragons,"

"The wildest hurricane, the terror that shook the earth,"

"And a hatred so intense that even the gods cannot understand."

"The world was shaken by the first disturbance of Leviathan."

"And the gods and dragons placed it in the silence of the abyss, a place of spiritual slumber, sleeping forever."

After reading the ancient dragon language inscriptions on the stone tablet, Karon suppressed his curiosity and did not actively explore. Instead, he stood in the spiritual realm to observe the situation near his nest.

His mind and strength grew again, and his enhanced spirituality sent him a fatal warning. Kalon could already sense that there was a deadly threat lurking around him.

This threat is hidden in the spiritual realm and cannot be detected in the real world. Even Charon before could not find the hidden danger through this method.

Even though Charon used the knowledge left by the kings of the ancient magic empire to create alchemical treasures that use the spirituality of living beings as nourishment to spy on the realm of time - those large clocks used as time experiments were amplified, they did not meet the standards for entering the spiritual realm.

These ancient magic kings once imprisoned a god for research. After a long period of experimentation, they discovered that spiritual power made it easier for them to touch the invisible rules hidden deep in the world.

This is why many believers in gods need a large amount of power of faith to maintain control over the rules behind the throne. Once the power of faith, which is similar to the spiritual rules of living beings, is exhausted, the gods of faith will fall into eternal silence in the astral realm.

This unfortunate god imprisoned by the ancient magic kings is none other than the bitch goddess—the magic goddess—mentioned by the five-colored dragon god Tiamat.

Charon had tried it before, but he did not touch the existence of the magic net, because there was no such thing as the magic net in this world.

In other words, relative to the cardinality of the infinite multiverse, such deformed things do not exist in most worlds, and only in a few special worlds do they exist.

No one knows the true purpose of the magic goddess who created this thing, but there are many different explanations circulating in many worlds. In Charon's view, it is just another manifestation of ambition.

This goddess of magic descended from the starry sky into this universe, intending to create and extend her own magic net, but she was captured and imprisoned by the magic kings who were well prepared.

Unlike Graz'zt, the Dark Lord who was imprisoned in the material world for a century, the Goddess of Magic was not only imprisoned by the Magic Kings, but also killed by them.

Although the Magic Goddess who resides high above the astral realm is a powerful deity, the Magic Goddess who descended into this universe does not have the power to crush everything.

The time machine experiments on the mysterious side left behind by the ancient magic kings are based on information obtained from the research on the Goddess of Magic.

However, after experiencing growth and transformation, Karon no longer needs the spiritual enhancement of these time treasures to step into his own spiritual realm.

Karon glanced around. He could now see the spiritual realm of nearby creatures. His spiritual eyes could even see the dreams of the people within a certain range. Countless warriors loyal to the dragon were fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.

Countless orcs and murlocs fell in front of the warriors, and countless warriors died under the enemy's swords.

Karon couldn't help but frown the fine scales formed by spirituality between his brows. It was obvious that a war was going on in the territory, which was invaded by orcs and murlocs.

A strong anger rose in Kalon's heart, but he had no intention of waking up. Although he regarded the territory as a garden of enjoyment and nutrients for growth, his own growth was more important at this moment.

Charon suppressed his anger and continued to explore the hidden threat. As long as he could find the other party, he would be able to wipe it out from the material world after waking up.

He glanced at countless spiritual lights and accidentally peeked into many complicated dreams. He saw fragments of the dreams of the young red dragon Caedilos.

The young red dragon was having a sweet dream. He dreamed that the treasure house of the dragon group was opened so that he could enjoy it all alone. The young red dragon rolled excitedly on the endless gold coins in the treasury. Piles of gold coins fell on the dragon claws of Caedilos like millet.

"Tsk, this red dragon is really used to being poor. Gold coins are the least valuable thing in the treasury," Karon couldn't help but sneer as he watched the young red dragon's dream.

There were also a few white dragons whose dreams flashed by, with countless frost giants roaring and attacking them, forcing them to flee in all directions. It was obvious that the shadows and lessons that the frost giants had left on these white dragons were profound enough.

There is also the dream of the green dragon Ellie. This green dragon is having a beautiful dream. He dreams that he has occupied the majestic Dragon King Castle and become the supreme master of the dragon group. The female dragons have become the green dragon's servants, and the male dragons have become the green dragon's lovers.

Just as Karon was watching with amusement, his eyes suddenly fixed, and a faint, almost imperceptible aura and fluctuations spread from the spiritual realm of the green dragon Ellie.

This breath and fluctuation were so weak that if it weren't completely different from the green dragon Ellie, Karon might not have been able to detect it.

This green dragon was actually parasitized by some kind of existence in its spiritual realm.

"I caught you," Caron's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was about to leave the spiritual realm and return to the spiritual sea.

But at this moment, the fluctuation and breath seemed to have discovered the red dragon's spying. The fluctuation expanded rapidly, and a mysterious and invisible force passed through the spiritual realm of the green dragon Ellie, connected to Karon's spiritual realm, and pulled Karon's spiritual consciousness into the connected realm in the middle.

“Haha, originally I was planning to digest this Titan’s spirit, turn the Titan’s flesh and blood into my real body when I return to the world, and then devour all of you giant dragons to become my nutrients. But since you’ve discovered me, then don’t leave!”

Unreal and strange laughter and overlapping sounds rang in Caron's ears. Caron looked through the illusory fog and found that this was his own castle.

Deep in the fog, a huge pile of minced meat exuded the smell of real flesh and blood. This huge pile of minced meat was enough to bury Caron's body, and a large cocoon several people tall was buried in this pile of bloody minced meat.

At this moment, the big cocoon seemed to have its own life, expanding and contracting, just like breathing. Every time it contracted, it would absorb a lot of flesh and blood, turning into flowing blood lines on the cocoon.

And in this big cocoon, Karon saw that there was a mysterious creature that was constantly taking shape through flesh and blood. A pair of twisted black horns had transformed from a spirit into a physical body.

"Nightmare, the first nightmare." Karon spat out a few words, and his huge fangs emitted a few sparks in his spiritual body.

This strange creature is the Nightmare, the first nightmare race born in the world, and not the demonic nightmare like the horse-shaped demon that often appears in the abyss or other evil planes.

This original nightmare was also born in the original spiritual dream of living beings. There are very few of them and they are very mysterious. If Charon had not digested more knowledge inherited from the dragon after sleeping, he would not have recognized this extremely powerful yet extremely weak creature.

"Haha, you are indeed a pure-blooded dragon with a legacy. You even know my existence," a devilish whisper sounded in Karon's ears.

The nightmare nurtured in the cocoon said in a mocking tone: "Those who know me will be killed by me. This Supreme Titan, a powerful celestial creature, was also killed by the enemy transformed by fear because of the fear I aroused. His body and soul were devoured by me."

"Let me, the great Lord of Nightmares, look upon this weak red dragon of yours, the thing of your fear!"
