I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 139 Extraordinary! (4K)

Extraordinary advancement and personal transformation require the assistance of the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

Shi An had long known that the time between the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the transformation was very short.

But he still didn't expect it to be this short.

It wasn't even three seconds, right?

Although the transformation does not mean that the Dreamer loses the ability to act, the Dreamer has to endure abnormal pain during the transformation, resulting in a sharp drop in combat power and a significant decrease in mobility.

At the same time, during the transformation process, the dreamer must try to calm their mind and meditate with the spirit, so as to resonate with the physical body, spirit, and incantation power, so that the three can be united and the dreamer can completely transform themselves.

If you can't find a safe environment as soon as possible after the ritual, you'll either die at the hands of the supernatural or fail to transform.

"No wonder some top experts, despite completing the transcendent ritual, still failed to break through in the end. It's a real pity!"

"But that's not a problem for me."

Safe zone, hotel.

Inside a top-tier room.

He has transformed this place into a breakthrough area.

The room was spacious, with a stone platform in the center, around which were placed pieces of dream crystals. There were at least a hundred dream crystals, as well as many precious medicines and potions, all placed within easy reach.

Shi An stood there and snapped his fingers lightly.

"call"!

A mysterious power communicates a contract, transcending the barriers of space.

The next moment, Li Feng, wearing tattered armor, appeared in the room.

Meanwhile, in the nightmare world, on the small square littered with debris, Li Feng's figure suddenly vanished.

The aura that seemed to spread during that extraordinary transformation vanished without a trace.

In the vicinity, a keen and eerie creature seemed to have caught something, but the next moment it shook its head, its eyes blank, and continued to wander around.

At this moment, Shi An closed the door and only observed Li Feng's transformation from afar through his access privileges.

A black mist of cursed power continuously emanated from its body, seemingly endless.

The black mist filled the entire room, sweeping away the dream crystals.

In the mist, dozens of dream crystals turned into dust, and energy surged into Li Feng's body.

The transformation is underway!

"No, this is more like a reorganization. A terrifying and bizarre entity is being conceived within the black mist, about to be born!"

Shi An murmured.

For a normal human to ascend to the extraordinary realm, the transformation takes at least one day, and may even last up to seven days.

Therefore, there is also a saying about the extraordinary transformation in seven days.

In the nightmare world, after seven days of transformation, if one cannot find a camp to shelter oneself, then anyone will be devoured by the monsters.

But Lifeng's transformation was faster than Shi An had anticipated.

Perhaps it's because it's eerie.

In just a few hours, the black mist that filled the entire room began to shrink and transform into a giant black cocoon.

The black cocoon lasted for several more hours before it began to crack.

A terrifying aura emanated from it.

A moment later, "Crack—Boom!"

The giant black cocoon shattered completely, turning into wisps of black mist that dissipated.

From within the black mist emerged a young man clad in black armor with a resolute face.

When Li Feng first advanced, it seemed a little strange, but now that he has completed his breakthrough and walked out, anyone who sees him would think he is a strong human!

The four strange entities in the safe zone are influenced by the contract and bathed in the power of belief every day, making them quite unlike ordinary strange entities.

But Xiao Xue, Zhuo Mio, and Huiyi still carry a slightly eerie and eccentric quirk.

For example, shrouds—

Several times, Shi An woke up in the middle of the night to find a bright red dress covering her. This was somewhat unsettling.

Compared to the eerie, Lifeng is more like a human.

Perhaps this is because—Lifeng was originally human. Is it a manifestation of a human obsession?

Li Feng said, "I seem to remember something. There was once a powerful kingdom that was overthrown by the black tide."

In his previous life, he was the captain of the guards of the Kingdom's National Library.

Li Feng couldn't explain it either; he only had some very fragmented memories.

These memories were worthless to him; he was searching for memories related to cultivation and supernatural abilities.

Unfortunately, the harvest was meager.

Shi An asked, "How much has changed after advancing to the extraordinary level?"

Li Feng is also carefully experiencing it.

The two went to the training room to verify.

"First of all, the reserve of magical power has increased by almost tenfold."

he said.

Shi An did a simple calculation.

A powerful individual who refines rare-grade cursed artifacts possesses approximately 5 to 10 units of cursed power.

Therefore, it can be deduced that a captain-level expert at the peak of the Third Refinement Realm has a spell power value of about ten or twenty.

The Night Shadow Mask, wielded by Shi An, contains a staggering 51 units of magical power. Therefore, after refining this exceptional artifact, his theoretical combat strength surpasses that of a captain-level expert.

Although combat is also affected by factors such as spell proficiency, spell combinations, and experience.

As an anomaly, Li Feng possessed a much higher reserve of spell power than human Dreamers even before his advancement. Right now, he probably has around 500 points of spell power within him.

"However, once a human Dreamer advances to the level of Transcendent, they are not much worse than other Evil Beings of the same level."

During the mortal dream-fallen stage, the physical bodies of strong humans are weak, and the margin for error in battle is extremely low.

Characters like Xuan Jian and Li Wei, who excel in close combat during the Refinement stage, possess strong physiques. However, this strength only allows them to utilize various close-combat spells. For instance, the Instantaneous Sword Strike places considerable demands on the physical body.

At this stage, even if the dreamer is as strong as an iron tower, their body cannot withstand swords or bullets.

If you take a hit from the front, you're almost guaranteed to be seriously injured.

Even if a Dream Faller consumes countless precious medicines, their physical strength cannot be increased indefinitely; there is a limit.

"But after reaching the transcendent realm, the limits of human life have been broken. Those who specialize in physical cultivation may have skin that even bullets cannot penetrate. The transcendent realm also possesses various miraculous talents such as 'protective fire,' 'indestructible water,' and 'a body that can shatter earth.'"

"In the end, those in the transcendent realm may no longer be human, they just look like humans."

Shi An even suspected that there was a **separation** between the extraordinary and the ordinary.

"However, compared to the supernatural, human superhumans still have lower spell power and vitality."

"If relying solely on innate talent and fighting against other monsters of the same level, humans are often no match for them and can only rely on their intelligence to maneuver. However, humans can also use spells and magical artifacts as means to enhance their combat power."

This cursed artifact was crafted from items used in dream-cursing.

It can be considered a superhuman level weapon.

"But then again, intelligent monsters can also learn spells and use spell artifacts, but they also have their own weaknesses."

"The bizarre is always the bizarre. Even if it has intelligence and can break free from the shackles of the hunting rules, there are still some behaviors that are etched into its soul."

Even if the Drowning Monster can ignore the rules and hunt humans, it will still frequently choose drowning as its hunting method.

The method of killing someone by beheading is always beheading.

The pseudo-human must replace the human.

This is the bizarre and inescapable instinct of the soul.

"Oh, my family's four strange creatures don't have these instinctive shackles? Then it's alright."

The most important thing in the Transcendent Realm is one's innate talent.

Inside the training ground, Li Feng tested his talent.

"Armor Combination!"

His innate talent is actually "cursed power".

It is not limited to condensing armor; it can also materialize various weapons such as knives, swords, and spears.

And he was indeed skilled in using a variety of weapons.

Shi An noticed that Li Feng's magical power covered his entire body, but only the blade of the greatsword in his hand was covered with mysterious and dangerous dark red patterns.

Li Feng said, "Shopkeeper, you're right. These dark red patterns are the true form of the talent. If they were applied to a weapon, the weapon could easily cut through—"

It can cut through metal and shatter city walls. If applied to armor, it becomes indestructible.

He struck several more poses, transforming his magical power into various weapons, constantly familiarizing himself with the application of his talent.

At this moment, the two ghosts, Xiao Xue and Zhuo Miao, also arrived.

Little Blood Mouth was drooling: It was clearly first! Whether it became an employee or was the first to reach its peak, it was clearly first! But why was it the one who broke through to the next level?

Shi An touched his chin.

"At present, although Lifeng is strange, its various characteristics of the transcendent realm are basically the same as those of humans."

"Human transcendence is described as having early, middle, late, and perfect stages. Each stage is divided by how much of the body one's innate talent can cover. When one's innate talent can cover the entire body simultaneously, one reaches the perfect transcendence stage."

Chen Jianghuai could only cover one arm and a little more.

However, breaking through to a higher realm does not solely depend on the development of one's talent.

If a person with innate power wants to cover more areas, they need to have more reserves of magical power.

"Curse power is key."

"Before transcending the ordinary, Dream Fallen cannot actually cultivate, they can only train. The amount of spell power a Dream Fallen has depends solely on the spell objects they refine, and cannot be increased through cultivation."

"Essentially, the fourth stage of the Dream Faller and the third stage of Refinement all rely on external objects. Only when one reaches the Transcendent Realm does the power return to oneself."

"In the Transcendent Realm, there are no longer any so-called organs for magical power in the body. All cells in the body of a Transcendent can absorb and store magical power."

"Cultivation in the transcendent realm involves expanding the magical energy capacity of cells."

Therefore, dream crystal is an important resource.

Those with extraordinary abilities can absorb dream crystals to restore their depleted magical power, and they can also use their power to gradually break through the upper limit of their magical power reserves.

"In addition, those in the Transcendent Realm can also perform all sorts of wondrous abilities using incantations."

"For example, Chen Jianghuai's sealing techniques." Sealing techniques are a skill that only those in the Transcendent Realm can learn, because the power of curses in the Refinement Stage is not truly one's own, and one cannot control it with the same ease. But I think I could?"

"The same goes for crafting cursed artifacts. Those storage suitcases from the Countermeasures Bureau seem to be a product born from combining sealing techniques, cursed artifacts, and modern technology?"

Shi An pondered.

Many people think that entering the extraordinary realm is like achieving instant success, but little do they know that there is a lot to learn before entering the extraordinary realm.

Because many of these skills only have the threshold for learning in the extraordinary realm.

Shi An also observes and thinks first.

Further verification was conducted using the notes of Li Feng and Chen Jianghuai.

From Li Feng, he had confirmed that "during the extraordinary realm, the strange creatures possessed methods that were indeed similar to those of humans."

Like sharpening a blade.

As he gradually became familiar with his innate talent, he discovered that it also contained the means to "create cursed artifacts".

"After using extraordinary talents to refine cursed objects and forge them into cursed artifacts, these artifacts can be integrated into the body and manifested at any time. At the same time, through these artifacts, Lifeng's cursed power can unleash greater strength and possess additional effects."

"However, this cursed artifact—it seems—must be made from 'transcendent cursed objects' strangely extracted from the transcendent realm."

"Shall we slay the extraordinary and bizarre?"

Shi An really wanted to see the extraordinary and bizarre power.

Coincidentally, Li Feng also wanted to find an extraordinary and bizarre figure to test his current level.

So, after making full preparations, Li Feng stepped out of the safe zone just like any other dreamer.

He randomly fell into a nightmare.

"Splash!"

A row of abandoned, desolate buildings came into view.

It really is a pale wasteland.

-

Although Baijiang City is adjacent to the Pale Wasteland, the Whispering Forest, and the Gray City, it is probably the closest to the Pale Wasteland in terms of spatial distance.

Most of the members of the Safe Zone are now active in this vast wasteland area.

Shi An observes the outside world through Li Feng's perspective.

"This area is unfamiliar."

"But that's what makes it unfamiliar. Right now, our safe zone has explored less than one percent, or even one-thousandth, of the Pale Wasteland."

"Lifeng is now at the Transcendent Realm, and the area he fell into is probably still in a relatively deep part of the wasteland."

That's great.

The passageway, with no safe zones nearby, prevented it from being detected by the powerful and eerie entity.

How is the safety of Lifeng guaranteed?

Because Lifeng is a supernatural entity, not human, it is easier to protect it.

He could summon Lifeng back with a single thought.

"Wait a minute, what's this? Does it seem like I have a cheat code that guarantees everything?"

At this moment, Lifeng had already casually picked up a target.

A strange leader-level figure.

-

He stepped forward, and the magical power on his right glove extended continuously, intertwining and coiling like a spiral, transforming into a large black gun more than three meters long. The muzzle, tip, and shaft were covered with dark red patterns.

The leader-level creature lunged at them strangely.

Lifeng delivered the first shot.

The gun shot out like a dragon, instantly piercing the eerie creature, followed by dark red cracks spreading across its body.

The next moment, the strange object shattered as if it were porcelain.

The leader-level creature's bizarre and incredibly powerful life force was rendered useless at this moment, and it was instantly blasted to death.

"Is this the power of the extraordinary? No wonder they say there's a chasm between the peak of the Third Refinement Realm and the extraordinary!"

"No, that's not right either. Chen Jianghuai once said that even if he wanted to kill a monster, it would take him some effort, and he couldn't do it as easily as Li Feng."

"So either Li Feng has a special talent that allows him to directly eliminate the strange entity, or Li Feng's combat strength is extremely high, far exceeding the early stage of the Transcendent Realm."

Indeed, the strength, speed, and destructive power displayed by Li Feng far surpassed those of Chen Jianghuai and the pseudo-superhuman.

The extraordinary realm is unpredictable, and it is not impossible to hunt it down.

Suddenly, it got dark.

Li Feng, who was testing his own strength and hunting the strange creatures, raised his head.

A colossal shadow suddenly appeared in mid-air.

It swam about, revealing its form beneath the gray mist.

It was a strange vessel, resembling an ancient multi-storied ship. Only, tendrils hung down from both sides of the hull.

Just seeing that figure made Shi An unable to help but close his eyes, his eyes stinging.

"boom!"

A tendril drooped down, grazing Li Feng's body and crashing into a building tens of meters tall behind him.

Glass shards and concrete fragments continued to fall.

In just a moment, the dilapidated building, unable to withstand the weight, slowly collapsed.

A second and third set of whiskers began to droop.

A strong wind whipped up dust that billowed and swirled away.

The earth was shattered.

Shi An stared at the giant shadow in mid-air, and at those terrifying tentacles, each at least thirty or forty meters long—

All he could say was, "I'm outta here!"

call!

Li Feng's figure disappeared in the next instant.

Only a terrifying and eerie figure remained, constantly destroying its surroundings.

"The nightmare world is indeed too dangerous!"
