"Why is this road so bumpy? Don't they have carriages?"
Wu Liang sat in the rented ghost vehicle speeding towards Mount Tai, the realm referred to as "Great Qin" of the First Emperor, complaining about the shaky ride.
Actually, on his first day in this Fierce Ghost World, he wanted to directly use the rented ghost's ability to reach Mount Tai, but the rented ghost delivered bad news—his ability couldn't be used normally here.
At that time Wu Liang didn't understand why, thinking it might be the restrictions set by [Ghost Compendium].
It was only after mastering the power of the Law that Wu Liang truly realized the problem.
"Boss, how about we chat with that Venerable in the space passage, see if they'll let us through?" Puppet Ghost said from the other side of the car.
Exactly! The inability to use the rented ghost's ability normally was naturally because a Fierce Ghost Venerable resided within the passage!
In a certain sense, the ability of the rented ghost could actually be considered a manifestation of spatial ability.
Under certain conditions, a spatial passage leading to the destination could be opened.
But within this Fierce Ghost World, there was already a Fierce Ghost that achieved venerable status through the power of the [Space] law!
Just like how Zeus, the Venerable of the sky, forbade any Fierce Ghost from flying above the clouds.
The Venerable hidden within the spatial passage is similar in nature.
For short-distance spatial transmissions like those used by the Magic Cube Dragon, it doesn't intervene.
However, long-distance or cross-regional spatial abilities like those of the rented ghost are strictly forbidden!
Magic Cube Dragon had warned Wu Liang about this before leaving Dragon City.
Using long-distance spatial transmission abilities and getting discovered would provoke the Venerable residing in the spatial passage to furious levels, having once pursued another Fierce Ghost across half the world for violating this rule, eventually banishing them into a chaotic spatial stream, fate unknown!
"Forget it, better avoid unnecessary trouble. We've already angered Zeus, and who knows what relationship the Venerable in the space passage has with Zeus! If they get along well, we'd be walking right into trouble." Wu Liang said helplessly.
They're currently using the taxi to reach a barely usable transmission distance. Although each trip is short, the advantage is that they can keep teleporting continuously, reaching a possibility for rapid movement.
The only downside is the road's rough and uneven nature in this Fierce Ghost World. The car jolts and bumps annoyingly.
If things continue at this pace, Wu Liang estimates they'll reach "Great Qin" in half an hour.
Whoosh—
As Puppet Ghost put their weary head out of the window, feeling despondent, a chilling wind suddenly swept through the air.
Upon looking up, they found the sky becoming even more oppressive.
Massive, ink-black clouds gathered, blocking out the sun as though the heavens were in a rage with faint thunderous roars from the clouds.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Boss, we may have been noticed." Puppet Ghost squinted as they withdrew back inside.
Wu Liang ignored the guy's obnoxious tone and silently pulled out the Nightmare Mask from his waist.
Slowly, he covered his face with it…
Boom—
In that instant, there was thunder and lightning.
The entire world trembled, venting its anger!
A lightning bolt, so wide it nearly enveloped the entire taxi, struck the earth.
Under this lightning almost like a pillar of light, forget the taxi—even the ground began to crack like a spider web, and nearby bizarrely swaying plants instantaneously turned to ash.
Thud thud thud—
From within the fearsome lightning emerged a shadow calmly walking.
The numerous bolts striking him mysteriously passed through as though he were merely a virtual projection.
"The road ahead won't be easy…"
Wu Liang shook the coat created through [modify reality], newly sprouting a hood. He slowly raised his hand to put it on.
Currently, he's blended with Nightmare, in the form of a Spiritual Body.
In theory, he should be immune to all physical harm, but even in this state, the lightning penetrating his body still elicited a slight tingling sensation.
At this rate, if the lightning continues, it could soon harm him even in the Spiritual Body state!
Zeus, the old coot, truly lives up to being one of the Five Great Venerables.
Even Wu Liang couldn't comprehend what in the lightning could contact the Spiritual Body.
Whoosh—
In the urgency of the situation, Wu Liang vanished from his spot in an instant, darting forward like an arrow from a bow, transforming into a streak of black moving infinitely along the road!
This bizarre speed made even Zeus's lightning unable to catch up. As they fell from the clouds, the target had already moved further ahead.
This created a strange visual spectacle on the road—
A twisting black line fleeing while endless thunder chased behind, leaving the ground barren wherever it reached!
