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

Chapter 232: Conclusion and Ending Before Returning to the Main God Space

Zheng Zha woke up and sat in mid-air.

Layers of golden light emanated from his body, yet Zheng Zha did not activate the Hulk bloodline; the golden light seemed to be taking on the form of a giant.

“It’s a cultivation of the mind.” Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. “Zheng Zha seems to have truly entered the initial stage of the fourth level this time.”

Zheng Zha's path of spiritual cultivation is very similar to the unorthodox cultivation method of the 'Golden Elixir'.

Unorthodox cultivation requires a golden core to suppress everything within the body, which is why a golden core is cultivated.

This golden elixir is an aggregate of everything, including bloodline, energy circulation, and soul.

Zheng Zha's cultivation of the mind is like a golden elixir, which is the condensation of Zheng Zha's bloodline, energy circulation, soul, and everything else.

When one cultivates one's inner self, it appears to outsiders as a form of Dharma.

Zheng Zha's path can be called the 'Martial Path of Human Immortals', and his mental form, also known as his Dharma form, is Zheng Zha's strongest form.

Su Bai looked at Zheng Zha and said, "After advancing to the initial stage of the fourth tier, the ancient genes in my body will surge. You and I are special. My vampire bloodline can control the genes in advance."

"You possess absolute rationality."

"Even Zhang Jie, because of his purely human physique, wouldn't have this problem."

"Zheng Zha encountered this problem."

Entering the initial stage of the fourth tier, the 'Ancient Gene Riot', is a problem that 99% of living beings will encounter.

However, Zheng Zha's riot in front of the two of them would certainly not cause any trouble.

This kind of genetic upheaval is different from inner demons. The consciousness goes into a frenzy for a while, and once the 'intense' of the genetic upheaval passes, it can return to calm.

There are many ways to calm down genes.

Just as Zheng Zha's momentum reached its peak, and he was about to condense his Dharma body and launch an indiscriminate attack on his surroundings.

Suddenly, a milky white holy light shone on Zheng Zha, illuminating his entire body with a pure and flawless glow.

The next moment, the tyrannical Zheng Zha gradually regained his senses, and his eyes became clear black and white.

"Ah Bai, Chu Xuan!" Zheng Zha, bathed in holy light, excitedly called out upon seeing Su Bai and Chu Xuan.

Su Bai nodded, dispelling the telekinetic energy surrounding Zheng Zha, and Zheng Zha landed on the ground.

“It’s Zhan Lan’s power of faith,” Su Bai said, sensing Zheng Zha’s holy light.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Zhan Lan's faith power can actually achieve this level, and we can use this power to awaken Zhan Lan."

From this perspective, with Zhan Lan around, the ancient gene upheaval that occurs after the members of the Central Continent Team advance to the fourth tier can be smoothly overcome.

The milky-white holy light emanating from Zheng Zha was slowly dimming, as it was receding back into his body.

"What...what just happened to me? Is this reality? I felt the same way in the dream world before. An extreme emotion filled my brain, making me lose my mind, and all I could think about was destruction and killing." Zheng Zha looked down at his body.

Su Bai looked at Zheng Zha and said, "This is the first hurdle to overcome when advancing to the initial stage of the fourth rank."

Zheng Zha suddenly understood.

After advancing to the fourth rank, there are two major challenges. The first challenge is the surge of ancient genes within the body, and the second challenge is the inner demons.

Passing the first hurdle signifies officially establishing oneself in the initial stage of the fourth level.

Passing the second stage signifies reaching the intermediate level of the fourth stage.

The characters Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, who came to "A Nightmare on Elm Street" this time, are preparing to overcome their inner demons in the future.

Zheng Zha murmured, "Ancient genes are surging."

Interestingly, this was a way for Zheng Zha to familiarize himself with his inner demons, preparing him to overcome them in the future.

As a result, Zheng Zha exceeded expectations, not only encountering his inner demon and gaining some understanding of it, but also officially entering the initial stage of the fourth level.

This was an unexpected surprise.

Su Bai waved his hand, and a pebble flew over from a short distance away.

"Zheng Zha, look." Su Bai gestured for Zheng Zha to look over.

Zheng Zha looked at the pebble in Su Bai's palm, puzzled.

Suddenly, the pebble in Su Bai's palm disintegrated, turning into countless tiny grains of sand that floated above Su Bai's palm.

The next moment, those countless tiny grains of sand came together again and reformed the pebble.

swoosh~
Su Bai threw a pebble to Zheng Zha, who caught it.

Su Bai said, "This is just one application of the power of microscopic perception."

"When you can reach that level, you can control the ancient genes within your body and put yourself in the best combat form. Not only will you not fall into tyranny and madness, but your combat power will also be enhanced."

Zheng Zha held the pebble, but dared not infuse it with power, otherwise the pebble would surely shatter. "Subtle power... I understand, I will train hard!"

Not far away, nearly ten thousand town residents knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

If Su Bai and the others, like Zhan Lan, possessed 'high-level angel blood,' they would certainly be able to sense a large amount of faith power as well.

"Zheng Zha, wake Zhan Lan. You have her faith power within you. Try to trigger it."

“Zhan Lan hasn’t reached the point where she needs to confront her inner demons yet; we can’t let her be trapped in them for too long,” Su Bai said.

Zheng Zha put the pebble into his storage ring, turned his head to look at Zhan Lan, who was right next to him, lying flat and floating in mid-air.

Zheng Zha didn't make any special moves; he was just thinking about channeling his true energy into Zhan Lan's body.

He will not invoke Zhan Lan's faith power.

True Yuan Power has the property of 'healing' and has an extremely strong recovery ability, which is beneficial and harmless to Zhan Lan.

Just as his true essence entered Zhan Lan's body, the power of faith hidden within him automatically flowed out, using the true essence as a bridge to enter Zhan Lan's body.

The power of faith returned to its master's body.

……

Inside Zhan Lan's inner demon space.

Without Freddy's power, the power of the inner demon alone is insufficient to kill Zhan Lan.

The inner demon's goal was not to kill Zhan Lan, but to dismantle Zhan Lan's mental consciousness, scatter her self, and let the inner demon become the master of her body.

Inner demons are also part of the true self, just an excessively extreme part.

"What are you still holding on to? You've completely lost your abilities; you're just an ordinary person."

"And I am intelligent, strong, and decisive... Give me your body, and let me fulfill your wish."

The inner demon Zhan Lan transformed into an incredibly tall giant, while the real Zhan Lan was extremely weak, huddled in a corner hugging her legs.

But the trembling real Zhan Lan had a stubborn look on her lips; she held onto her consciousness and did not collapse.

She couldn't refute her inner demons, and even thought they were right.

She felt unworthy to be a member of the Zhongzhou team, was afraid of letting the team down, and was under immense psychological pressure.

If the inner demon can achieve the level of importance it imagines for the Central Continent Team, then handing it over to the inner demon is not a bad idea.

The real Zhan Lan had this idea; this was her tribulation.

But she also managed to hold on to something.

“This time, I’m not really trying to overcome my inner demons, nor am I trying to achieve enlightenment. I’m just… going through it and experiencing it.”

"I might break down in the future, be defeated by my inner demons, and run away."

"but not now."

"Ah Bai... my teammates from the Central Continent Team will come to save me!"

This was the bottom line that the real Zhan Lan held onto, and the last rope that kept her consciousness from dissipating.

Suddenly, a milky white, holy beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the curled-up true form of Zhan Lan.

The top of the pillar of light connects to the outside of the inner demon space.

"This is the power of my faith... it's Zheng Zha, and Zheng Zha's true essence!"

"Did he successfully find Ah Bai and Chu Xuan and defeat Freddy?"

The real Zhan Lan was overjoyed; she had finally waited for this moment.

Within the holy pillar of light, the real Zhan Lan's body involuntarily flew up, heading straight for the exit at the top.

She was leaving the inner demon space.

"You won't get away!" The inner demon Zhan Lan naturally wouldn't allow it. She pointed at the holy pillar of light, and her incomparably powerful spiritual energy enveloped the pillar, trying to prevent the real Zhan Lan from leaving.

Suddenly, golden solar flames ignited on this pillar of light, exerting a powerful scorching effect on the mental power of the inner demon Zhan Lan, blocking it completely.

The power possessed by the inner demon Zhan Lan is all imbued with demonic energy. The golden sun fire is transformed from Zheng Zha's true essence, which is extremely strong and yang, and can restrain the power of the inner demon!
"You are my inner demon. We share the same origin. My own power has no effect on you, but the power of my teammates does."

"See you next time, my inner demons."

Under the resentful gaze of the inner demon Zhan Lan, the true Zhan Lan flew to the very top of the sacred realm and exited through the exit.

In the real world, Zhan Lan suddenly opened her eyes.

She saw Zheng Zha, Su Bai, and Chu Xuan. "Zhan Lan, welcome back to the team," Su Bai said with a smile.

Zhan Lan slowly landed on the ground, realizing that this was the real world and that they had defeated Freddy. She smiled and said, "Hmm."

Only Zhang Jie remained asleep.

The four of them looked at Zhang Jie.

Su Bai said, "Zhang Jie's situation is special. Although Zhan Lan can wake him up, it's best not to do so for now."

"Before the next horror movie begins, Zhang Jie needs to overcome his inner demons and enter the intermediate level of the fourth stage."

“I will closely monitor Zhang Jie’s condition. If there are signs of a complete breakdown of consciousness and a complete transformation into a demon, I will find Zhan Lan.”

"Let's work together to help Zhang Jie wake up."

Zhan Lan nodded.

This time, they redeemed 30 days to survive in the world of "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and they currently have 29 days left.

These 29 days will be used for their respective spiritual practice.

Su Bai said, "Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, you two are free to act as you please. You can look for other ghosts and monsters to farm points."

“It can also be used for spiritual practice.”

"Stay connected."

Zheng Zha nodded, and Zhan Lan nodded as well.

Since ghosts like Freddy Krueger exist in this world, there must be other types of ghosts as well.

As long as they aren't nightmares like Freddy Krueger, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, both at the fourth tier, could practically roam freely in this world.

Chu Xuan calmly said, "I will enter your demiplane to begin some development preparations."

Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan are currently unaware of the events in the demiplane.

The two were quite surprised when they found out.

"Wow, our Zhongzhou team is going to have its own dimensional space!" Zheng Zha exclaimed excitedly.

Zhan Lan was also very excited.

Having a demiplane gave her a sense of having a home.

Su Bai, on the other hand, planned to prepare for 'advancing to the Nascent Soul stage'.

“Let’s get out of here quickly. We’ve already caused a huge impact by flattening a small town and turning its residents into gods.”

“We have no intention of showing our faces here. We’ll see each other again in 29 days,” Su Bai said.

The five figures disappeared in the next moment.

The townspeople knelt on the ground, and some mustered their courage to raise their heads, only to find that the 'gods' had already left.

The fact that a small town was wiped out by forces beyond nature has caused a great stir.

The entire nation was mobilized to investigate, but ultimately, because no information about the 'god' was found, the matter was sealed off and became one of the mysterious events.

……

29 days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the day to return to the Main God Space is approaching.

Not far from the town, on a desolate mountain, inside which Su Bai remained in seclusion.

By this time, they had already achieved considerable success.

"Nascent Soul, the elixir breaks through to form the nascent soul."

"The Golden Core is a collection of bloodline, energy, soul, and so on."

"The key to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage lies in the brain and consciousness."

"My current thinking and consciousness are mainly based on my brain, but I am just using the computing power of the 'Golden Core'."

"The brain has its limits, and the Golden Elixir is like an extension of the brain."

"But there are limits to this utilization rate, and the brain becomes a hindrance."

"Therefore, the Nascent Soul stage came into being."

"Transfer consciousness and the power of thought into the Golden Core, so that the Golden Core can form an Infant."

"The brain is finite, but the primordial spirit is infinite."

"Once successful, all my thoughts and considerations will be based on the Nascent Soul stage, freeing me from the limitations of the physical body, and my computing power will increase by more than a hundred times."

Another advantage of the Nascent Soul stage is that it's equivalent to having an extra life.

Because everything in the body, including thought and consciousness, resides within the nascent soul, even if the physical body is completely destroyed, it will not truly die.

As long as the nascent soul exists, it is equivalent to being alive.

The Nascent Soul is a special existence, with a deeper contact and understanding of heaven and earth, and is closer to the truth of heaven and earth than the physical body.

Reaching the Nascent Soul stage brings one closer to the Great Dao.

This is an added bonus to Su Bai's current S-level swordsmanship talent.

"This is the Nascent Soul stage, which is also the peak of the initial stage of the fourth level."

After the Nascent Soul stage comes the 'Primordial Spirit stage'. The Nascent Soul grows into an adult and can transform into a true self that is even more real than the physical body, thoroughly understanding itself and delving into the deepest levels of the soul and mind.

In the endless darkness, I saw that glimmer of light.

That is, the light of the soul.

This is the 'Primordial Spirit Stage', which corresponds to the intermediate level of the fourth stage.

Su Bai has overcome his inner demons and will smoothly enter the Nascent Soul stage.

Besides a significant increase in cultivation level, all that's needed is time to completely transfer one's consciousness into the Golden Core, allowing the Golden Core to form an Infant, and then one can enter the Nascent Soul stage.

He also began practicing five other sword cultivation techniques.

The main focus is on the refining method.

Su Bai refined his inner demons onto his demonic sword of slaughter, preparing for the awakening of his intelligence.

"My own demonic thoughts are a part of myself. This sword has awakened its intelligence through my inner demonic thoughts and is the same as me."

"I use it as easily as if it were an extension of my arm, far surpassing the intelligence that can be generated by ordinary methods."

"The downside is that the flying sword will carry my cold ruthlessness and demonic nature."

"This sword is inherently a weapon of slaughter, capable of devouring resentment, allowing me to kill without incurring any resentment or lingering thoughts. Combined with spiritual intelligence and demonic intent, it will probably become even more evil."

This sword is fine as long as it's in Su Bai's hands, but if one day it leaves him, it will definitely cause a great upheaval and cause a huge shock.

"It's almost time, I should go see Chu Xuan," Su Bai murmured.

He handed Chu Xuan over from the demiplane and then prepared to return to the Main God Space.

……

Within the half-plane.

The world, which had just been separated into clear and turbid realms, now possessed the Five Elements!

However, the power of the five elements was too little to create a stable environment.

The emergence of the power of the five elements originated from a light tower in a barren, desolate desert.

This tower has a total of gold layers, stands on the earth, and is entirely composed of a curtain of light.

Upon closer inspection, the light screen revealed countless tiny runes.

This is a runic creation!

The runic tower was only a phantom, yet it already possessed some power. The faint five elements power within this demiplane was emanating from this tower.

With dark circles under his eyes, Chu Xuan stood outside the light tower and murmured, "Anchoring in the chaotic demiplane space to establish a stable energy base."

"To harmonize disordered life energy and promote the birth and stability of the demiplane ecosystem."

"The chaotic energy input from the bottom layer and the mixed magic input from the accessor are refined and purified through high-intensity tempering with true fire, transforming them into a purer and more controllable energy flow."

“By utilizing the ‘destructive’ and ‘rule’ properties of metal, the ‘blade of rules’ can be released to sever the disordered energy flow.”

"Water, one of the five elements, serves as a 'buffer pool' and 'conversion center' for the energy cycle of the five elements, responsible for regulating the energy pressure balance of the entire tower."

"The power of the five elements corresponds to the five levels below this tower."

"The four upper layers are the Primordial Pivot Layer, the Xunfeng Wuxiang Layer, the Zhouguang Tuiyan Layer, and the Xuanhuang Guizhen Layer."

"Once the nine stories are fully completed, this tower will become a sacred artifact that protects the region!"

"It can suppress not only a single demiplane, but perhaps even other planes!"

Just then, a figure appeared beside Chu Xuan; it was Su Bai.

As soon as Su Bai arrived, he was immediately drawn to the runic light tower.
