Chapter 129: Dream or Reality

Extremely dangerous breath.

Even though it was high in the sky at the moment, even thousands of kilometers away, there was still an uncontrollable tremor in its consciousness.

In fact, it is difficult to have any existence in this world that can make the species feel at a loss and at a loss. But right now, it felt a little, if only a little, an irresistible, indescribable coercion.

The coercion emanated from the spear, like the whispering of a beast that had been suppressed for thousands of years—at first it was just a sound that was isolated somewhere, but at first, it burst out.

The whole city was instantly silent, and even the groans of pain were now subdued, because the owner of the voice had already lost consciousness and passed out completely from the intense pressure.

Species make decisions in a second.

The light and flame that make up the huge body condensed and took shape, and it became the same long tentacles as when I first saw it in Japan. They descended from the sky, swooping down at what appeared to be rather slow, but in fact exceeded the speed of sound.

At least for now, it looks like it's still a weapon. No matter what the reason for it has changed, at least until someone else controls it. It was jealous of this thing - it decided to get it.

However, when the roaring tentacles were nearly a hundred meters away from the thing, they suddenly turned into countless spots of light, and exploded in all directions like a large piece of fireworks—the spiritual energy also lost its effect at this moment, and the trend of disintegration followed the long tentacle all the way up, spanning a distance of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. It almost hit the body of the projection.

The species immediately cut off the tentacles, and took advantage of the momentum to fly back into the sky for hundreds of meters.

Then it heard a voice.

“…… That's not something you can touch. ”

The sound came from under the ruins somewhere near the spear, as if it were coming from the Nine Hells. Then a pile of earth and stone loosened slightly, and a palm poked out. With a second exertion, the mud and sand poured down, separating the ruins of the building from the melted recondensed steel bars, revealing the two figures underneath.

Li Zhen hugged a thin and small body and stood up.

He glanced down at the body in his arms, leaned down, and placed it on top of the ruins. Then he shook his head: "These are these lives today." and it will be counted on your heads. You can't run. ”

The species didn't make any sound - it seemed to be watching from the sidelines. A cold gaze fell from a height of a thousand meters, watching this man's every move.

Li Zhen was more than a hundred meters away from the gun, and he also turned his head to look over there.

The original Longinus spear was more than two meters long and had a white texture.

However, the thing that now appears above the ruins is only the length of a human arm. And it's a little thicker. It is divided into three sections. Each section becomes shorter and thinner. It's like an awl with a strange shape.

The "bloodstains" all over its body had become slightly dim, and now it looked more like it had been painted, but it was still bright and eye-catching.

So Li Zhen kicked away a piece of charred black branch at his feet. Step over to it.

The species did not attempt to attack, nor did they immediately go away. It watched cautiously at what was happening on the ground, its body shrinking back into a humanoid form made of flames, turning into a tiny starlight in the sky.

Li Zhen took five steps, walked down the ruins, and approached the thing a hundred meters.

At this time, it can be clearly seen that within a hundred meters of the weapon, everything seems to be in a state of weightlessness.

It's as if it has built an invisible force field, and there is a clear dividing line between the force field and the force field - outward, everything is still the same as before. Ruins and dirt were piled up on the ground, and occasionally blood was slowly flowing from a few crevices. Inward, however, the fragments of earth and stone drifted almost slightly off the ground. They are now suspended in mid-air, slightly rotating and colliding with each other by the blowing of the night wind, and it seems that with a little more force, they will completely break free from the constraints of the earth and rise to the sky.

He hesitated for a second, then lifted his foot to cross the dividing line.

The doppelganger in the sky flickered slightly, and then rose a little higher without a trace. It had turned into a faint starlight, not unlike the speckled flars of light in the night. But it's still keeping an eye on the ground – it's a safe distance for it. It would be difficult for either this one or the Siberian one to launch a surprise attack on it from such a distance, especially since this is only a projection clone.

It realized it had to figure out what it was.

It had certainly seen the Spear of Longinus with its own eyes. Whether it was a weapon that symbolized power in the hands of "that one" in the past or as a "murder weapon" used to suppress them in the hands of the Yellow Emperor, it maintained a clear memory of that thing for a long time.

The smell of the day is familiar. There's a smell of the former ruler in it. That suffocating sense of oppression had lasted for tens of millions of years, and during that time they were the rulers of the land—all visible and invisible beings were subservient, and it was bathed in glory and invincible.

But now the weapon's appearance is unfamiliar, something it hasn't seen in tens of millions of years. It was shocked by the change - in fact, there was really nothing that could make it feel that way.

It was a terrifying force. And now all it has to do is look forward to it with some extremely rare apprehension—

The man on the ground could not reach it either.

So Li Zhen stepped over.

At this moment, a faint cloud of smoke rose from within the dividing line. The fragments of earth and rock suspended above the surface lost their strength at the same moment and fell back to the ground. The sound of the tremors was not loud, but the one above the heavens sounded like a thunderbolt.

He walked in.

Li Zhen took a deep breath and forced himself to take a second step. He also felt the indescribable pressure - it was as if he was walking under the depth of tens of thousands of meters at the moment. He felt every bone in his body groan and creak slightly, as if it was going to be shattered in the next moment.

From a distance, it looked like it was only the length of an arm, but now it looked like it was getting bigger. With each step, it stretched out several meters in his consciousness, and by the time he approached the weapon, it had already turned into a huge pillar that ran through the heavens and the earth—the upper end stretched to the zenith, as if shattering the void. The bottom is deep underground, as if through a yellow spring.

The dense blood stains turned into countless twisted thin snakes, and the red light on the snake's body flowed, so bright that it seemed to drip blood.

All the references around him became distorted, and gradually dissolved into nothingness as he drew closer to the object.

Eventually, the entire world became a white expanse.

Blood-like fluid flowed down the streaks and converged into a shallow stream along the smooth, undulating ground. The shallow currents converge in one place and merge into a coarser current. The blood never seemed to flow—the gurgling sound of the water filled the hollows in the ground into a crimson river of blood.

Li Zhen realized that he seemed to be hallucinating—being affected by the weapon.

But he didn't try to bring himself back to his senses. Now he opened his mouth slightly, in utter shock.

Because the scene is familiar.

He had a lot of dreams. But there are only a few that are most impressive - they are deeply imprinted in the heart as if they were really happening.

The first time this dream came to life was seven years ago, when he was lying in a hospital bed.

He dreamed that he was standing in a blood-red river, and fish after fish jumped up from the water, tore off his flesh, and devoured him into a blood-red skeleton. There seemed to be something at the end of the river, but it wasn't real.

Then he encountered the dream again—standing in the same river of blood, walking hard to the other end of the river. It was a bright mist, as if it was the exit of this worldly realm.

However, as he got closest to the mist, the dream vanished and he woke up.

It's like a time-limited puzzle game, allowing him to get only a little bit of information at a time and do a limited amount of things.

But now, he knew he hadn't slept.

The same scene recurred when he was awake, he was not as confused as he had been in his dreams, and now he had all the memories he had before.

So he turned his head after a brief moment of astonishment and looked to his left.

There was a bright fog there.

Li Zhen lifted his foot. The viscous liquid dripped from the surface of the foot, emitting a reassuring bloody smell. He sniffed the smell of blood, trudging with difficulty through the mist. He could almost hear his own heartbeat – one that had become intense for fear of "waking up" again or trying again in vain.

At this moment, he even ignored the threat from above, and the smell of blood gradually became in his mind, converging with the screams of hundreds of millions of cells in his body - walk over!

So he walked over. He stood in front of the bright fog and reached out a hand.

The white fingers were not in the mist, but they could not move forward a single bit. Something invisible held him back—like a ball on top of a wall that couldn't be felt.

Li Zhen tried to increase the force. However, he couldn't go any further until he felt the pain in his fingertips. If anything, if anything, was against his fingers, it would have to be made of steel harder.

He frowned slightly.

This scene was probably triggered by the weapon. The species do not know where it came from, and they themselves do not know. However, now he realizes the so-called "Spear of Longinus", "Spear of Destiny". It must have a lot to do with the secrets in yourself.
