Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 223 Zheng Zha's inner demons erupt; even Chu Xuan's inner demons are not simple.

"How could this happen?" The inner demon Su Bai was shocked, not expecting such a thing to happen.

Su Bai, in his true form, remained calm. "An inner demon is an inner demon. It is too extreme in a certain aspect, resulting in incomplete rationality and a lack of wisdom."

"Throughout history, how many people whose bodies are controlled by their inner demons have met a good end?"

The inner demon Su Bai began to unleash his power. He also possessed a golden core in his mind. He used the power of the golden core to suppress the inner demon's body, trying to squeeze out Freddy's power.

It did have some effect; the burn scars on half of Su Bai's body were visibly fading.

However, they could not be completely eradicated.

Freddy's power seeped into his very bones, and Su Bai couldn't dispel the inner demons within him.

Freddy even controls half of his face, making that half laugh cackling.

Half his face was filled with terror, and the other half with a sinister laugh.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Su Bai's inner demons.

The inner demon's instability affected the wheelchair-bound Central Continent Team controlled by the inner demon Su Bai. The team members' strength immediately dropped significantly, and their movements became numb and disorganized.

Su Bai said, “Here, only defeating Freddy counts as a true victory. Theoretically, before defeating Freddy, you and I are on the same side.”

"You were used by him."

"So, you foolish inner demon, can you tell me where Freddy's true form is?"

Su Bai, the inner demon, gradually lost his mind, his face filled with madness, and black energy crisscrossed his body.

Inner demons are essentially a demonic thought within the body. When this demonic thought is flawed, it is extremely easy to become extreme and lose one's rationality.

His loss of reason led him to launch a fierce attack on the real Su Bai.

But it's really just a show of strength without substance; it lacks reason and is like a wild beast.

“My inner demons are no longer a problem. Freddy… that guy’s power is truly bizarre,” Su Bai murmured.

Freddy's power had even seeped into his inner demons.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a terrifying demon that specifically targets the vulnerabilities of the mind.

If not handled properly, even a fourth-tier powerhouse who is incomparably powerful in other horror movies would be nothing more than Freddy's prey.

"Freddy manifests our inner demons and then secretly infiltrates their bodies little by little."

“Our inner demons know our weaknesses and will attack them.”

"Freddy's subtle influence and control over inner demons in the shadows."

"In the end, Freddy's power will completely take control of our inner demons and kill us."

"That's Freddy's method, isn't it?"

Freddy is a nightmare who uses the rules of dreams to kill.

He cannot be invincible in his dreams; he needs to develop his abilities before each new dream begins.

The method of development involves using his abilities to find the psychological vulnerabilities of the target and then attacking and killing them based on those vulnerabilities.

In this process, he absorbs the fear of his target, gradually becoming stronger until he becomes omnipotent.

Before Freddy fully developed, his strength was also limited.

“Freddy will definitely hide his true identity and not show himself until he has enough power. He will secretly plot to attack our psychological vulnerabilities.”

"This is Zhang Jie's dream. Defeating the main god's great light sphere has a high probability of forcing the real Freddy to show up, but there is also a small probability that it won't."

"I can't be sure."

"Therefore, if possible, I will try to locate Freddy's position in advance, so that we can be more secure in escaping the dream space at the end."

Su Bai plans to first completely defeat his inner demons, and then go find Freddy.

……

On the other side, Zheng Zha is fighting against the fake Zheng Zha controlled by the inner demon Su Bai.

"You... are probably about 90% of my level. You don't even know my Great Luo Domain skills."

Zheng Zha transformed into a 20-meter-tall 'King Kong Hulk' form, with his body covered in a golden body like King Kong.

The golden body is becoming more and more lifelike, and it has already taken shape in appearance.

However, Zheng Zha had not yet completely condensed his essence, energy, spirit, and body into this Dharma form.

Once completed, Zheng Zha will no longer need to transform into the Hulk form; he can unleash his true power simply by using the Vajra Dharma Form.

At that time, Zheng Zha will have fully entered the fourth-order realm!

In front of the real Zheng Zha, there was also a 20-meter-tall Hulk, whose body was also covered with golden light.

However, the golden light looked dazzling and powerful, even more so than the golden light on Zheng Zha's body.

But this is precisely not as good as the proper form of Zheng Zha.

“I have already passed your stage. The golden light has become more restrained. It seems that you also do not possess the ‘innate Dao body’.”

"So you also don't have the combined skill of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Nine Yin Manual, and the Great Compassion Mantra of Heaven and Earth, the 'Nine Yin Nine Yang Heaven and Earth Great Luo Chapter'?"

"Ah."

Zheng Zha's combat strength is definitely not weak, but he is slightly inferior to Su Bai and the demon Zheng Zha.

Su Bai and the demon Zheng Zha are the figures standing at the pinnacle of the reincarnation space at this time.

If Zheng Zha were placed in any reincarnation team, he would be a pillar of strength.

"Since that's the case, then take my axe." The real Zheng Zha reached out and grasped, and the Golden Phoenix Axe instantly appeared in his hand.

Three golden suns appeared on the left side of his body, and two scarlet blood moons appeared on the right side.

His imposing 20-meter-tall Vajra statue stands in the center, holding aloft a golden phoenix axe.

The three golden suns and two scarlet blood moons on either side all transformed into energy and poured into the Golden Phoenix Axe.

"Heaven and Earth Calamity - Cleave!"

The colossal Vajra Dharma Image cleaved fiercely, unleashing a golden axe beam carrying a lightning-like phenomenon that shot straight at the fake Vajra Hulk, Zheng Zha.

Click...

Originally, the fake Zheng Zha would not have been able to resist, but a demonic energy suddenly appeared and entered the fake Zheng Zha's body.

The fake Zheng Zha suddenly gained momentum.

He was also a colossal figure, exuding an aura similar to that of the real Zheng Zha.

Then, he unleashed an advanced version of the 'Yin Yang Golden Body'... 'Devouring All Things'!
This is a move that can only be performed by those who have mastered the "Nine Yin Nine Yang Heaven and Earth Great Luo Chapter".

The fake Zheng Zha absorbed the power that the real Zheng Zha had unleashed, and all the strange phenomena disappeared, leaving everything eerily calm.

The real Zheng Zha looked on in astonishment and saw that the fake Zheng Zha was surrounded by black aura, with heavy black eyeshadow and black lips, a very obvious dark style.

“You are my inner demon,” Zheng Zha, the real person, suddenly realized.

"Hehehe, that's right." The inner demon Zheng Zha sneered, "Your inner demon is worried that you're not strong enough to survive. As the opposite, I'm extremely strong and able to survive!"

“Other people’s inner demons can be overcome.”

"And you, you can never defeat me!"

With a wave of his hand, the inner demon Zheng Zha conjured nine golden suns on his left and nine scarlet blood moons on his right.

This is a realm that the true Zheng Zha cannot reach, but the inner demon Zheng Zha can unleash it at will.

"My inner demon is survival," Zheng Zha said, his expression becoming complicated.

Before arriving at the Main God Space, Zheng Zha lived a muddled and aimless life every day.

The death of his lover, 'Loli,' made him feel that life was meaningless, without any expectations, and he became extremely numb.

After arriving in the Main God Space, Zheng Zha used the Main God's human creation function to create 'Loli'.

His life suddenly had a center and a goal.

He will not die, nor can he die; he must live on with Lori!
He worked incredibly hard in the Central Continent team, determined to become the strongest, and he had a deep pursuit of power.

Only by possessing great power can one truly survive.

His constant pursuit of Su Bai is also a manifestation of his desire to survive and his thirst for power.

This is Zheng Zha's inner demon.

Therefore, when Zheng Zha is overcoming his inner demons, his inner demons will become infinitely powerful, transforming into the incomparably powerful self that Zheng Zha has been longing for day and night.

Zheng Zha, the real person, did not show much emotion and said, "If I can't beat them, I can't beat them. As long as I stay true to myself and wait for Ah Bai and the others to come and help me, that's fine."

"This time, I didn't really intend to defeat you; I was just testing the waters."

Of the five members of the Zhongzhou team who came to challenge their inner demons this time, apart from Zhang Jie, none of the others needed to overcome the challenge immediately.

They are more likely to be the first to experience the feeling of their inner demons erupting, thus gaining a clear understanding of the situation.

Overcoming inner demons is extremely difficult; throughout history, very few fourth-tier powerhouses have been able to overcome them.

Of course, the Main God Space has a special environment; it is a place specifically for cultivating high-level powerful beings.

People like Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan are exceptionally talented individuals, one in ten thousand.

These people have been screened multiple times, so the proportion of those who ultimately overcome their inner demons appears to be quite high.

If we look at the vast majority of people, the proportion who have overcome their inner demons is extremely low.

This is survivor bias.

The real Zheng Zha didn't want to linger in the fight, but the inner demon Zheng Zha had a way to make the real Zheng Zha fight desperately.

Inner demons are those that prey on one's weaknesses.

"If you're not strong enough, how can you survive? How can you protect...Loli?"

With a casual wave of his hand, the inner demon Zheng Zha released a wisp of black energy that landed on the ground and transformed into the figure of 'Loli'.

Lori is Zheng Zha's lover and his motivation to live.

"How dare you!" The real Zheng Zha's eyes were bloodshot. When he saw the inner demon Zheng Zha transform into the appearance of Loli, he lost his composure.

The inner demon Zheng Zha had already anticipated this outcome, and he smiled sinisterly, "If you don't fight me, I will... torture and kill Loli!"

"You've crossed my line!" Zheng Zha, the original owner, had decided to stay put, drift along, and wait for rescue.

At this moment, his mindset changed, and he harbored murderous intent towards his inner demon, Zheng Zha.

Even if he doesn't know how to defeat his inner demons, and there's a high probability he'll fail.

He will also take action.

"Inner demons, that's what's so disgusting about them." The real Zheng Zha, controlling his enormous Vajra body, walked towards the inner demon Zheng Zha.

"I know this scene is fake. My Loli is still safe and sound in the Main God Space, where no one can hurt her."

"I should turn around and leave, avoiding a fight with you."

"But I can't stand seeing anyone torture and kill my little girl in front of me."

"Even if this scene is fake!" "Only I know myself best, inner demon, you really do know me, you know how to make me hurt even more."

"That's ruthless...and disgusting!"

Knowing that what he was doing was wrong, Zheng Zha still chose to fight desperately against his inner demon, Zheng Zha.

This is the power of inner demons.

He knows the vulnerabilities in the target's mind and launches targeted attacks, which often yields twice the result with half the effort.

Zheng Zha's departure, his willingness to fight the inner demon Zheng Zha with all his might, signifies his downfall.

He fell into the trap set by the inner demon Zheng Zha.

soon.

The true form of Zheng Zha disappeared into the town, or more precisely, into the shared dream.

He entered his own exclusive dream of despair.

After Zheng Zha disappeared, Su Bai, Chu Xuan, and Zhang Jie, just as they had forgotten 'Zhan Lan,' also forgot everything about Zheng Zha.

The inner demons the three faced had become even stronger.

However, it's still not enough to deal with the three of them.

On the contrary, Freddy Krueger, the evil spirit who had never shown himself, was greatly enhanced once again.

"Hehehe, two now."

"Let them all sink...sink into oblivion!"

"Let them all sink into a desperate dream and struggle!"

"In this way, my power will grow stronger and stronger, and you will be unable to stop me... to kill you!"

……

Chu Xuan is also engaged in battle with the fake Chu Xuan controlled by the inner demon Su Bai.

The battle between these two is different from the battles of others; it is a clash of imagination.

He was fully capable of killing the fake Chu Xuan outright, but he didn't do so; instead, he sought another way.

"Since this is a dream world, I should be able to do whatever I want," Chu Xuan murmured.

He began to imagine the existence of Zhao Yingkong as a pseudo-fifth-order being.

At first, nothing happened.

This dream world is like the real world, operating according to its own rules.

They can only use the powers they already possess, and cannot use powers that did not originally exist.

It's quite similar to the real world.

But Chu Xuan had a question.

What does it mean to have the power that you originally possess?

Like Su Bai or Zheng Zha, they can use their own power, but they cannot use additional power.

Where is this criterion for judgment?
Chu Xuan firmly believed that he possessed the ability to summon the pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong, and that he could do it in the real world as well.

This is one of his abilities.

He implanted this idea into his body, and slowly, the figure of the pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong actually appeared in front of him!
What you believe is what you receive—that's the rule of dreams!
Whether it's Su Bai, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, or Zhang Jie, they are all extremely familiar with their own power; this is true ability.

Therefore, they subconsciously believed that they could actually perform it.

However, if Su Bai firmly believes that he possesses Zheng Zha's abilities, then he can also use Zheng Zha's abilities.

The dream world appears to have a set of rules, but in reality it is absurd and unrestrained.

Once you find the rules, you can use them to do things that are impossible in the real world.

Freddy Krueger is simply someone who is very familiar with the rules of dreams and whose abilities are perfectly suited to the dream world.

Chu Xuan found this standard.

Then, he easily defeated the fake version of himself.

During this time, the inner demon Chu Xuan appeared, transforming into a wisp of black energy that entered the body of the fake Chu Xuan. The merged inner demon Chu Xuan was now surrounded by black demonic energy, becoming much stronger.

However, in the end, he was easily suppressed by Zhao Yingkong, a pseudo-fifth-order being manifested by the true Chu Xuan.

"You're not my inner demon, you're Freddy, aren't you?"

"Or rather, you are just a part of Freddy's power." Chu Xuan looked at the fake Chu Xuan who was being suppressed by the pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong and spoke calmly.

The fake Chu Xuan, kneeling on the ground, looked at the real Chu Xuan in confusion upon hearing Chu Xuan's words.

The real Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and said, "I am Chu Xuan, and my inner demon may not possess the same qualities as me."

“His analytical and imaginative abilities are definitely not as weak as yours.”

"Otherwise, this inner demon would be no challenge for me at all."

"Therefore, even if you appear in front of me as a demon, I will not believe your identity."

The fake Chu Xuan remained silent.

Chu Xuan continued calmly, "You are a part of Freddy's power. I, Su Bai, and Zhang Jie will all face Freddy's power."

"You're like an incarnation, facing all of us at the same time."

"My inner demon won't foolishly come to fight me; it must have some preparations."

There is only one explanation for the person standing before me.

"It was Freddy who made the move."

After thinking it over, the fake Chu Xuan decided to stop hiding anything.

Flames erupted from his kneeling body, quickly engulfing him before disappearing.

The fake Chu Xuan transformed into a person covered in burn scars with a grotesque face.

“You really are as twisted as your inner demons said,” Freddy said.

This is Freddy's power manifested in a form, not his true body.

The real Chu Xuan could have easily crushed Freddy's clone at any time, but he didn't.

"Take me to find my inner demon, that's what he wanted too."

"He should be almost ready. If he wants to defeat me, he needs to face me head-on."

As the pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong disappeared, the power that had been suppressing Freddy's clone vanished, and Freddy's clone stood up.

“Okay,” Freddy’s clone replied.

He couldn't wait for the real Chu Xuan and the inner demon Chu Xuan to truly clash, so he could take the opportunity to watch the two tigers fight.

In fact, Freddy Krueger grows stronger by absorbing fear.

The five people who entered the dream this time, except for Chu Xuan, all of them, including Su Bai, exuded an aura of fear.

It's just a matter of how much or how little there is.

Like Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha, who were trapped in a desperate dream, they exuded a strong aura of fear.

People like Su Bai are extremely rare.

In Freddy's perception, Chu Xuan was the most special one, as he didn't exude even the slightest aura of fear.

They seemed inhuman.

Someone like Chu Xuan is Freddy's nemesis; he simply cannot absorb Chu Xuan's fear to become stronger.

Fortunately, this time it was a dream shared by multiple people.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare let Chu Xuan into his dream at all, and would immediately expel Chu Xuan from the dream.

He took the real Chu Xuan to find the inner demon Chu Xuan.

……

The corner of Yushu Street.

The inner demon Chu Xuan was surrounded by black energy. He was prepared, and this preparation was actually to lay a net-like trap of inner demon power here.

As long as the real Chu Xuan arrives, he will inevitably be invaded by the power of his inner demons.

The inner demon Chu Xuan gazed into the distance, as if he could see the real Chu Xuan walking towards him.

"My true self cannot be defeated by fighting. The only one who can defeat my true self is himself."

"Therefore, I used the power of my inner demons to create an inescapable trap."

“When he arrives, I will merge with him and give him everything I have.”

"He will know all the information about his inner demons, and then it will be up to him to choose."

A sound suddenly vibrated and appeared, surrounding the surroundings.

"Your true form is indeed as perverted as you said; he's coming."

“He knew you were prepared, but he remained calm and had my clone bring him over, seemingly unafraid.”

The inner demon Chu Xuan said, "My true form has no emotions, so it's normal that you can't tell anything from my expression."

"It's understandable that he could guess my plans."

"Freddy, I know you have the power to invade the mind's body and make it undetectable to the mind's consciousness."

"But this time, you'd better not intrude on me."

"My true self will surely be discovered."

"They might even use your abilities to develop anti-intrusion capabilities and then intrude on you."

"This is a dream world, where anything is possible."

"My true identity is an omnipotent being."

"I warned you."

Freddy, hidden in the shadows, turned serious. This time, he truly did not invade Chu Xuan's inner demon.

Because the real Chu Xuan did not release any aura of fear, it made him instinctively wary.

This guy is extraordinary; he's the first person Freddy has ever met in his ghostly life.

Freddy dared not make any rash moves.

"Two of the five people who entered the dream this time have already fallen into despair, and the other two are trapped in a dream of despair and are unlikely to survive. My power is very strong now."

"One or two more people will fall into this trap."

"Then I can show myself...and confront them head-on!"

The inner demon Chu Xuan, who had been gazing into the distance, saw the real Chu Xuan appear not far away, walking towards him with a calm expression.
