The completely transformed Mu Yang, now a monster, was ravenously devouring the surrounding corpse beasts.

It was like an insatiable abomination, growing larger and taller with each bite, the once normal human frame swelling several times over as it tore apart and chewed through the corpse beasts!

The army of corpse beasts was wiped out, only to be replaced by a Tier Six Monster.

Han Zhan didn't know whether to be pleased or not.

The monster charged forward.

He raised his sword to defend his chest, but the Tier Six power exceeded what he could withstand, and he was sent flying.

The monster didn't pursue; it took massive strides, causing the ground to tremble as it ran.

When it reached the base of the high tower, it opened its gaping maw and bit into the already rusted tower base.

The metal materials couldn't withstand its bite, and a large shard was torn off and swallowed, chewed with vigor!

Han Zhan struggled to stand up.

He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword in one hand and held his chest with the other, still shaken by the previous strike.

Seeing it gnaw at the tower base, Han Zhan couldn't afford to catch his breath and charged in again with his sword!

Given my current strength, trying to arm-wrestle a Tier Six Monster is unrealistic. But this Tier Six Monster has completely lost its mind; using a kiting strategy could work.

As long as I can stall it while Youwei destroys the Red Moon Array Hub, victory is ours!

Han Zhan calculated in his mind, lowering his hand from his chest and summoning the Fu Xi Zither with a single-handed spell, releasing zither sound air blades effortlessly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, the zither sound air blades struck the rotting mass of the Tier Six abomination's back, bursting black blood mixed with yellowish venom.

The ambushed abomination turned around, its fierce gaze once again fixed on Han Zhan.

Strike and run.

The wind roared in Han Zhan's ears as he saw the enraged abomination kick the tower base, using the rebound force to leap high into the air and block the Red Moon, pouncing towards him!

This terrifying blow, Han Zhan couldn't evade!

At the top of the tower,

suddenly, the instability of the tower base caused Li Lingzhen in the middle layer to stumble, failing to withstand the Nightmare Beast's attack, she fell backward.

The Shennong Cauldron was knocked away, and Li Lingzhen almost fell off the high tower amid the violent shaking.

Luckily, she grabbed the railing, barely maintaining her balance.

The rampaging Nightmare Beasts saw the defenses breached and roared and screeched as they surged into the high tower.

A crimson glow suddenly flickered in Li Lingzhen's eyes.

She was caught in an illusion!

At the top, Xia Youwei also felt the tremors from below, growing stronger the higher they went.

Not only that, but she had to maintain the Clear Heart Powder to resist the illusion interference from the Red Moon above.

Time was of the essence.

Xia Youwei took a deep breath and began her final sprint.

...

Li Changhao panted heavily,

looking at the two companions who had died completely beside him, fear filled his heart.

Across from him, at the end of the endless dark corridor, in the murky darkness, a terrifying thing could take one's life.

Tap, tap, tap!

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed again.

Unable to bear it any longer, Li Changhao broke through a window, choosing to flee towards the source of the commotion.

"I know now, I know! It's the Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare's tool, [Brahma World]!"

As Li Changhao ran, his mind suddenly recalled a wealth of information.

This information all came from a senior member of their Li Family bloodline, who had since passed away. The information about the Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare was brought back by him at the end of his life.

Brahma World is not a talent of the Nightmare, but it fits it extremely well.

The Nightmare can create illusion realms, and in the Brahma World, these "illusion realms" are Nightmare Beasts capable of traversing earth and sky.

And the true ability of Brahma World is [Making False into True]!

The Nightmare can create illusion realms that corrode reality, and this tool, Brahma World, can replace reality with the illusion created by the Nightmare using the spiritual power obtained by eroding the world!

That was all the information Li Changhao knew.

But it didn't stop him from making a judgment.

They must not destroy the Red Moon overhead; they mustn't destroy it. It's definitely not the array hub!

If the Red Moon is destroyed, all absorbed spiritual power will be released in an instant, and the illusion world they are in will become reality, replacing the original Deep Blue City!

Li Changhao, though arrogant and domineering, never intended to be an enemy of humanity.

He rushed to the base of the high tower as fast as possible, just in time to see the abomination leaping towards Han Zhan.

He raised his hand, and a golden spiritual power shot from his wrist, colliding fiercely with the abomination, causing it to veer off course slightly.

Han Zhan seized the opportunity, moving with a flicker to evade the attack.

"Where are your companions? Stop them quickly!"

"Don't destroy the Red Moon, you mustn't destroy it!"

Li Changhao said urgently.

Hearing Li Changhao's words, Han Zhan was slightly stunned.

"It's too late, they're already up there."

As Han Zhan finished speaking, they heard a clear and melodious zither sound emanating from the top of the distant high tower.

Han Zhan and Li Changhao lifted their heads simultaneously.

Looking towards the sky.

There, in the first second after the Clear Heart Powder dissipated, Xia Youwei released an immense zither sound air blade.

The air blade soared skyward, striking the "Red Moon" suspended in the sky.

The Red Moon, seemingly far out in the Endless Star Sea, was directly hit by the air blade, and with a boom, it shattered.

"The Red Moon, it's shattered," Li Changhao mumbled instinctively.

In the instant the Red Moon shattered, the countless dark spiritual power absorbed poured down like ink, drifting to every corner of the city with this force!

The dead corpse beasts, nourished by the dark energy, began to resurrect.

The still living citizens of Deep Blue City, upon contact with the dark energy, started undergoing terrifying transformations.

Even Han Zhan and the others were no exception!

This dark energy was unavoidable, present in the air and inhaled by Han Zhan. He felt a nameless, frenetic flame ignite deep within, driving him into madness.

Black hair began to grow wildly over his body, quickly covering him entirely.

The nape of his neck itched and ached unbearably; he scratched instinctively, and a protruding tumor appeared at the back, with a human face pressed against it, seemingly eager to burst forth!

Li Changhao opposite him found his belly suddenly bulging round as something incubated inside.

"It's over, all over!"

"If the Red Moon hadn't shattered, we might have had a sliver of hope. Now that it's shattered, the dark spiritual power will make the illusion reflect reality, transforming everything within the barrier, including us!"

On the high tower, closer to the Red Moon, the mutations of Xia Youwei and Li Lingzhen progressed even faster.

Their annihilation was imminent!
