I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

"Isn't the 'All Martial Arts Initiation' supposed to have a chance to awaken additional extraordinary traits? How come it's already a second awakening?"

A second awakening of talent is unheard of for Shi An.

However, upon further reflection, he realized there were many things he didn't know. After all, he was just a newbie who had only been in the Nightmare World for a little over four months. He wasn't sure whether awakening an extra trait was a second awakening, or if Lifeng's current experience was more unique.

He looked at the panel.

"Employee 'Lifeng' has undergone a second awakening, and his innate talent has been upgraded to 'Limitless Curse Martial Arts'."

"Limitless Cursed Martial Arts: Li Feng is naturally proficient in all kinds of weapons. He can transform his curse power into weapons, or use his body as a weapon to tear apart all filth and obstacles. When the Limitless Cursed Martial Arts covers his entire body, Li Feng's defense, resistance, physique, spirit, and curse power will be greatly enhanced. At the same time, he will gain the life-severing characteristic—based on his own lethality, Li Feng can directly reduce a certain degree of the enemy's life force when he attacks."

"Lifeng has indeed awakened his fourth trait, but that's far more than that! Lifeng's entire innate talent has undergone a complete upgrade." This is the second awakening!

Shi An had vaguely heard that when a transcendent being advances to the Ascension Realm, their talent undergoes a transformation and enhancement under the baptism of the laws of heaven and earth. Could it be that Li Feng's second awakening is somewhat similar to the talent transformation during the Ascension Realm?

If so, when Lifeng breaks through to the Ascension Realm in the future, will his talent continue to evolve?

Shi An was unaware that he still had too little information.

Next time I encounter Director Dai or the heads of various museums, I might have the chance to strike from the side, although I haven't thought of a reason to do so yet.

Who would have thought that he, the store manager, was someone who knew absolutely nothing about the Ascension Realm!

His understanding of the late-stage and perfect stages of the Extraordinary Realm was basically derived from a few strange employees of Lifeng.

"Not only has his talent been comprehensively enhanced, but the newly awakened fourth trait is also far stronger than the previous three trait."

Execute!

According to Shi An's understanding, it is a true injury, which can directly deprive the enemy of their life force.

The strange creature's vitality has always been strong. Even though Li Feng can split the entire body of the extraordinary strange creature in two with a single sword strike, it is still not enough to kill it instantly most of the time.

After humans advance to the Transformation Realm, their vitality is not much worse than that of the supernatural.

It's probably not very effective against human superhumans.

"No, that's not right, it's just as effective."

"With flawless, transcendent, perfect talent, elemental beings can transform their entire bodies into sand and flames to avoid damage, while Stand beings can autonomously protect their entire bodies..."

And Lifeng's life-slaying technique can penetrate all of these.

However, if it's just dealing with human superhumans, Li Feng can easily defeat them regardless of whether he has the Life-Slaying skill or not. After all, even if a superhuman at the Great Perfection stage transforms into flames and lightning, it can only avoid physical damage and temporarily prevent them from having any vital points. In reality, they are still vulnerable.

A slash imbued with cursed power can damage such elemental forms.

If the entire fiery head were completely annihilated, the Great Perfection of the Transcendent Realm would also be dead. To put it bluntly, a Transcendent is merely a human being who has broken through the limits of the human body; they are still just a person.

Only by ascending to a higher realm can one transcend the limitations of being human.

How strong is Lifeng now?

Shi An was very curious.

Li Feng himself, as well as Xue Shouyin and Zhuo Pu, were also curious.

So they went to the training ground.

Li Feng is the challenger, while Shi An and the others are the spectators.

Little Blood originally wanted to retake the tenth level, but seeing that Sharp Edge was going to try first, it gave the opportunity to Sharp Edge.

"The real protagonist always appears last, so let Lifeng be the vanguard first, and then I, Lord Xue, will make my appearance."

Li Feng pondered silently.

The enemies in the tenth level are a total of 27 transcendent, perfect-level monsters. These monsters are diverse in type, work together seamlessly, and are exceptionally powerful. After all, Blood Lord is only a monster, and it is not confident that it can defeat 27 monsters of the same level by itself.

It couldn't hold out for long before its entire body was overwhelmed.

But now, it is confident...

"It can annihilate more than ten strange entities! No, it can annihilate half of them!"

Little Blood looked towards the battlefield.

Li Feng was already standing there, his greatsword planted upside down in the ground.

A countdown appeared in the sky, and in the distance, enormous and ferocious eerie figures began to appear.

Transcendent Great Perfection: Flesh and Blood Giant!

The Extraordinary Perfection: Giant Shark Truck!

The Extraordinary Perfection: The Tyrant in a Suit!

boom!

The countdown has reached zero.

A swift, withered tree demon was the first to pounce, letting out a sharp shriek as its claws tore through the air, leaving trails of black gashes. But its speed and skill were no match for Li Feng's.

Li Feng merely turned slightly to the side, dodging the claw with minimal movement, and then raised his sword to slash upwards.

brush

The dark sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The withered tree demon visibly stumbled, and its body stiffened.

At this moment, Li Feng struck down with his sword again.

brush

It still lacked power, producing no huge commotion or escalating shockwaves; there was only a simple, unadorned sword light. But the withered tree demon general had already fallen, its entire body severed...

"The aura has vanished!"

With just two sword strikes, a powerful and extraordinary being at the Great Perfection of the Extraordinary Realm died on the spot.

Little Blood's eyes widened.

Other strange creatures pounced on them. The giant shark truck unleashed an unparalleled ramming attack, while the tyrant in a suit brandished a heavy machine gun, unleashing a barrage of bullets.

Li Feng simply dodged, swung his sword, maneuvered, and then swung his sword again with ease.

Occasionally, he would encounter unavoidable deadly situations, but he would withstand them. His armor was only slightly dirty, and his aura remained undiminished. After all, he was also an incredibly powerful and unpredictable individual.

Just ten minutes...

"boom!"

With the final sword strike, the twenty-seventh Transcendent Great Perfection expert died mysteriously on the spot.

At this point, Li Feng's armor was only slightly damaged.

He is far from reaching his limit.

"The eleventh level I designed consists of a total of one hundred Great Perfection Mysteries."

"However, even a hundred monsters of the same level probably wouldn't be able to stop Li Feng... After all, a hundred monsters aren't much stronger than twenty-seven. With his superb combat skills and agility and speed far superior to other monsters, Li Feng can only face seven or eight monsters at a time."

"He also possesses the ability to kill, and even a hundred other strange beings of the same level cannot exhaust his magical power."

"The general's sharpening of his blade is terrifying!"

However, the eleventh level is not the end of the trial realm.

Shi was quite cunning; he even designed a twelfth level, which was no longer just about increasing the quantity.

He put up the "pseudo-human BOSS - dungeon master state" that had once controlled the entire nightmare space.

Nightmare World, somewhere.

A ship, no smaller than the Ark of Salvation, was sailing through the vast gray fog.

On the deck of the ship, one can see people coming and going.

These people looked exactly like humans, except they had long, gradient-colored hair and three white stripes on each forearm. They were indeed human.

Humans, the civilization of travelers!

In the vast ocean of nightmares, humanity is a large category, and countless civilizations belong to the great human civilization.

Traveler civilization is one of them.

"We've already been to Gray Harbor City. There's no need to go to the remaining cities on Blue Star. There's not much profit to be made there, and it would be a waste of time," said a high-ranking official from the merchant guild dressed in a gray robe.

Another person chimed in, "There's really no need to go. I thought there was only one major city, but I ended up making an extra trip."

The first person to speak said, "This Blue Star civilization, Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City each have their own characteristics and have each forged their own path. They originally had good potential, but unfortunately..."

"Yes, it's a pity that there are still many countries within the Blue Star civilization. Otherwise, given the resilience and talent shown by the Blue Star humans, they would still have a good chance of clearing this nightmare world. But now, their chances of clearing it are extremely slim."

"It's negligible, but what does it have to do with us? After implying that Tiannan City had purchased a lot of treasures, the Blue Star people of Gray Harbor City had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy even more. Civilizational division is more advantageous to us."

"That's right."

The civilized humans among the travelers exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

Their merchant group was ready to leave for the next nightmare world to trade with the local civilization.

At this time,

In the distance, amidst the thick gray fog, tiny glimmers of gold appeared, slowly flickering.

"What is that?"

Some people have doubts.

A powerful figure from the Traveler Civilization, dressed in white robes, approached. "In that case, let's go take a look."

In this nightmare world, there is almost nowhere that can truly threaten them—unless they fall into a strange encirclement of a large number of Ascendant Realm cultivators, but they are not foolish enough to do so.

Since there's no danger, what's the harm in going to take a look?

As the merchant ships followed the golden light and passed through layers of gray fog, a camp came into view.

The camp was located in a mine pit, with more than ten acres of farmland excavated. The various buildings were designed and constructed in a relatively exquisite manner, indicating that this camp was not weak and that the Dreamers here did not have such a difficult time surviving.

but,

"It's just a camp."

A traveler in a grey robe sighed in disappointment.

Their merchant group wouldn't even deign to visit those nightmare towns, let alone a mere nightmare camp.

"There's no need to land; it's a waste of time."

He said.

But the merchant leader, dressed in a white robe and of even higher status, stared at the distant lighthouse for a while before suddenly saying, "That lighthouse was the one that shone in the gray fog just now."

"This lighthouse is a man-made wonder!"

"A man-made wonder?"

The gray-robed travelers around them were stunned.

In the eyes of the Earthlings, wonders are the result of the convergence of the laws of heaven and earth, naturally born from this phenomenon.

Humans can only utilize wonders; they cannot create them.

But for the traveler civilization, wonders are not impossible to build.

The entire Traveler civilization mastered several methods for constructing common wonders.

but,

Was the Blue Star civilization merely a civilization newly entering a nightmare world? How could they possibly create man-made wonders?

The white-robed traveler said, "There are many ways to create artificial wonders. The Earthlings may have simply unearthed a secret treasure from some ancient civilization's ruins and used it to build an artificial wonder, but they definitely do not have the ability to replicate it."

There is a difference between man-made and man-made products.

Their traveler civilization possessed the true method to build wonders from nothing.

Although it was extremely costly and took a long time to build, the methods used to construct those wonders were undoubtedly the most powerful foundation of their traveler civilization. However, even after excavating ancient civilization heritage, it is still difficult to recreate those wonders.

The white-robed traveler said, "Since we're already here, let's go down and take a look at this camp. Maybe they have some goods worth trading." The traveler's merchant ship slowly descended.

The lighthouse camp had already noticed them before they landed.

Rare structures like lighthouses are the first to issue warnings.

Garrison commander Chen Jianghuai was shocked. "Such a massive warship, what force has sent people? Tiannan City?"

But he didn't think so.

He had already heard that his safe zone had a partnership with the Tiannan City government, and if it really was a ship from Tiannan City, they would have informed him beforehand.

However, there was none at all.

The ship's style was very strange, and he had never seen the insignia on it before.

Chen Jianghuai frowned. "Maintain vigilance. Put all patrol teams and superhumans in our camp on high alert."

now,

The Lighthouse Camp is quite large, with over six hundred permanent residents. Among them, the patrol team consists of sixty people, all of whom are Refinement Stage experts. There are also five Extraordinary Experts who are stationed at the Lighthouse Camp long-term.

However, compared to this enormous warship, Chen Jianghuai felt that their camp's strength was still weak.

"Go and inform the store manager immediately."

Shi An had actually received the news before the lighthouse camp issued its warning.

He glanced at the panel.

"Notification: An alien civilization, the Traveler Civilization (neutral), has visited the Lighthouse Camp."

"Extraterrestrial civilization?"

"As expected, the people of Earth aren't the only civilization. But does this 'external civilization' refer to civilizations that, like our Earth, suffered disasters and crashed into our city, or... a civilization native to the Nightmare World?"

Shi An murmured.

He wasn't surprised.

If we had to say, Li Feng and Yao Shi Shan were both from outside civilizations in their previous lives.

The panel indicated that the Traveler Civilization was neutral, suggesting that the visitors were there for cultural exchange. However, Shi An did not dare to be careless and immediately dispatched Li Feng, Xiao Xue, and Zhuo Pu, along with several extraordinary individuals from the Security Department.

"The people in this camp have discovered us."

"Huh, there are so many extraordinary beings?"

The presence of over a dozen Transcendent Realm experts within the camp surprised the gray-robed travelers on the deck.

Especially the few extraordinary ones among them, they seem very strong.

This is a bit interesting.

Of course, it's only somewhat interesting. All members of their Traveler Civilization Merchant Guild are extraordinary individuals, and the vast majority of them are at the Great Perfection level.

Within their merchant guild, all three leaders and deputy leaders were high-level cultivators at the Ascension Realm.

and,

The fact that they only have three Ascension Realm experts is not because their Traveler Civilization can only send three Ascension Realm experts, but rather a restriction imposed by the rules. If they want to enter the "Nightmare World" area, which is not inhabited by their own civilization, they must abide by the rules of that world.

"After all, these worlds, which are located on the outskirts of the Nightmare Sea, are in a sense 'newbie zones'."

"Even so, quite a few powerful individuals from evil civilizations still enter the newbie zone to plunder."

However, plundering will be punished by the world's rules, just as those in the Transcendent Realm or Ascendant Realm will encounter misfortune and calamity when they attempt to conquer lower-level areas. Plundering is an inefficient activity; trade is the only way to succeed.

At this moment,

The merchant ships of the Travelers' Guild hovered in mid-air, and one by one, the powerful members of the Guild, each at the Transcendent Realm, descended slowly from the sky, their feet stepping on some kind of magical light. The white-robed leader also took a step forward.

"Whoosh!"

He transformed into a ball of flame, from which dozens of lifelike firebirds flew out.

The firebirds circled in the air for a long time before finally landing slowly not far in front of the camp. As the firebirds gathered, they revealed a white-robed figure standing with his hands behind his back.

He had a handsome face, and his long hair gradually changed from silver to blue.

He had a bird mark on his forehead, and a faint, giant shadow of a firebird was also visible behind him.

"I am the leader of the Traveler's Civilization Merchant Guild, and I have come here for trade."

He spoke in the Daxia language, his voice not loud, but it penetrated into everyone's ears with unparalleled clarity.

Chen Jianghuai and others were greatly shocked.

What kind of method was this? He had never heard of it before.

He didn't know how to respond, so he could only look at Lifeng.

At this moment, Li Feng raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The white-robed ascension cultivator also looked up at the sky.

far away,

In the sky in front of the lighthouse, golden rays of light gathered and gradually outlined the light and shadow of a large door.

The door opened, and a hand reached out and pressed against the door frame.

A figure wearing a silver-white coat and with sun and moon ornaments hanging on its chest emerged from the crowd.

He was bathed in golden light, standing in mid-air, with golden particles of light falling down in front of him to form a series of downward steps.

He walked down the steps one by one until he arrived at the entrance to the camp.

"On behalf of the safe zone, I welcome all of you distinguished guests."
