Once the body was destroyed, as long as the soul was not completely annihilated, there would be no way to hide the news. It wouldn't be long before the Leopard Tail Bug came for revenge. If the Leopard Tail Bug King appeared, it would always be two levels higher. What was the point of fighting then?
It would be best to extend one's neck and wait for death. However, a Leopard Tail Bug that had lost its tail would lose the ability to protect itself that it was proud of. It would lose the ability to transform, and it would lose the ability to send its soul to be resurrected when it died.
If such a Leopard Tail Bug appeared in the ocean, there would be at least 800 creatures that would dare to capture it for a taste.
Fatty stayed at the side obediently, and stopped talking after pointing the way.
Lin Yun looked at the small path in front of him, and found it very familiar. The small path extended into the depths of the forest, and it looked exactly the same as a small path in his memory.
However, there was nothing wrong with the surroundings. Lin Yun took a light breath, and stepped onto the small path with Fatty.
The moment he stepped onto the small path, Lin Yun looked back. The coast behind had completely disappeared, and was replaced by a small path that extended into the forest, as if it had appeared out of thin air in the middle of the small path.
But space, elemental energy, mana, nothing seemed to be out of place. Everything seemed normal.
Lin Yun was not surprised. The Nightmare Kingdom was the dream of the Lord of Nightmares, and anything that happened here was normal. The Lord of Nightmares was too powerful, so his dream was not much different from a real world.
They advanced along this eerily quiet path. The surroundings originally seemed like a real world, but as they walked, the sky was completely shrouded in darkness. When they looked up, it was pitch-black, and there was not a single bit of starlight.
The sound disappeared completely. The sound of his heartbeat became like thunder, and the sound of his blood flowing became like a surging river. Even the sound of Little Fatty swallowing his saliva on his shoulder sounded like the beating of a drum.
After walking along the small path for more than ten minutes, the lifelike forest around them became like a static painting, and Lin Yun was walking in this painting.
Other than the path that extended into the depths of the darkness, everything else had become blurry and distorted. The originally lifelike paintings had also become inferior works of art. They looked lifeless and lifeless, filled with a deathly stillness. Even a fool could tell at a glance that the surrounding tall trees were all fake.
As they walked, the wind seemed to blow again, and sounds gradually appeared. The sound of heartbeats and blood flow also became softer.
Lin Yun's gaze slowly became confused. His pupils began to dilate as if he had completely lost consciousness. The little fatty clutched Lin Yun's shoulder in fear, not daring to move. He didn't even dare to make a sound.
The dazed Lin Yun continued walking along the small path. After walking for another ten minutes, the sky suddenly began to brighten. There was also light in front of them, and it seemed like they were about to leave the forest.
The moment they stepped out of the forest, Lin Yun regained consciousness. When he looked back, as expected, the forest had disappeared, and in its place was a barren desert. Lin Yun was standing in this desert, and there was nothing around him except sand.
"Fatty, tell me what you saw. There's no need to deny it. I know that the Nightmare Kingdom's confusion has no effect on you here."
As soon as Lin Yun opened his mouth, Fatty's face became sullen, and he stopped talking. After a few seconds, Fatty finally told him what he saw.
"As we walked, you lost consciousness. We kept walking along the small path, and then we walked out of the forest. This is the desert, and then the forest completely disappeared …"
Lin Yun was silent for a while, and he started to study the desert before him. There were protruding sand dunes, and there was a yellow tornado moving across the desert in the distance.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The originally blue sky had become dark and gloomy, and thick spatial cracks were fixed in the sky like ugly wounds.
Chaotic and violent energy poured out from those wounds. The sun was about to set, and the whole sky was filled with the atmosphere of death and dusk.
Taking a deep breath, the air was filled with the smell of fire. The elements were like a bull that had lost its mind, it was so violent that it could not be controlled.
"The apocalypse …"
Lin Yun looked at the world before him with a complicated expression.
Even though he knew that the cryptic world was not fixed, and it was directly related to the creatures that entered it, he did not expect the relationship to be so direct.
Under the power of the Nightmare Nation, the Mental Projection turned into a complete world, just like the world in his memories. Whether it was looking or feeling, there was no difference.
Feeling his own strength, he had already fallen to the Mage realm. The huge amount of mana had disappeared, and the connection to the Demiplane had also disappeared. It was as if he was trapped in a world completely isolated from the outside world.
The only thing that wasn't too bad was that the Spatial Ring could still be used. With these, he would not lack mana.
After coming to this truly apocalyptic world, Lin Yun knew that the only thing he could not lack was mana, and what he lacked the most was mana.
The elements in the air were like berserk bulls that had gone berserk, and most of them were unusable. The mana was so thin that it was like an anti-magic barrier. Only the chaotic energy coming from the wounds in the sky still had a bit of mana that could be considered pure and peaceful in this world.
That was the mana blowing out of the Netherstorm. In Lin Yun's current era, it would be the most violent and untouchable mana, but in this world, it was his only hope.
Only by using the Void Forge and risking being torn apart could he squeeze that pitiful amount of mana out of the Netherstorm.
The mana within Lin Yun's body slowly flowed, and every wisp was firmly controlled, not letting the mana leak out. This was the mana control ability he had honed at the end of the Magic Era.
Compared to the mana control of Noscent's mages, the mana trained at the end of the Magic Era was on a completely different level. In that era, mana was like a docile pet, and the only mana that could be barely used here was the berserk magic beasts covered in spikes.
Lin Yun wasn't unaccustomed to this environment. After looking around, Lin Yun quickly identified the location of Heiss City. This was the first ability he had to master if he wanted to survive at the end of the Magic Era.
In the desert, losing one's sense of direction meant death. If he couldn't return to Heiss City before nightfall, he would be sheltered by the weak mana radiance of the Shelter Tower, or he would die without a corpse.
After walking a few hundred meters, Lin Yun suddenly stopped. He looked at the desert in front of him and casually threw a Quicksand Vortex.
The sand within three meters started rotating, as if a hole had appeared in the ground. The sand kept collapsing towards the center, and after a few seconds, a sandworm covered in hard yellow skin rushed out of the Quicksand Vortex. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth as it roared and bit towards Lin Yun, as if it wanted to swallow Lin Yun in one bite.
The little fatty was so scared that he kept screaming. How could he not be scared? After arriving here, he felt his mana continuously flowing away, to the point where he couldn't even grab it. The air was filled with a burning smell, and the mana and elements outside seemed to have gone crazy. The entire world was filled with the deathly aura of someone past their prime.
Now, such a berserk magic beast had suddenly appeared. Without its tail, it had lost most of its power, and Lin Yun's rank had fallen to the Mage rank. He could only wait for death.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, quick, run …"
Lin Yun didn't pay attention to the little fatty's screams. He extended his hand and quickly chanted an incantation. As the spell was released, the mana within his body was reduced by a fifth. It was a dozen times more mana consumption than normal casting, and this was the result of Lin Yun having perfect control over his mana.
The sandworm with its huge mouth had already rushed out eight meters when it suddenly stopped, as if its body was being held back by something. Sensing the power behind it, the sandworm didn't attack Lin Yun again. Instead, it twisted its body and opened its mouth to bite the hole it had rushed out of.
The sand splashed out as if it had exploded, and blood with a fishy smell seeped out from the sand. The sandworm's body had completely rushed out of the ground, and the back half of its fifteen-meter-long body was covered in thorny vines.
The thorns on the vines couldn't pierce through the sandworm's rock-like skin, but they could get stuck in the skin and bind the sandworm.
A Bloodsucking Vine simply couldn't get rid of this sandworm. Lin Yun understood the sandworm's characteristics too well. A ten-meter-long sandworm's skin was at least twenty centimeters thick. Only with such thick skin could it survive in this extremely vile desert.
The Bloodsucking Vine seemed to be very unaccustomed to this environment. After appearing, it started rapidly withering. As long as the sandworm didn't care, it would only take ten seconds for the Bloodsucking Vine to completely wither.
Unfortunately, the sandworm didn't know that. With the Bloodsucking Vine holding the back half of its body, the sandworm's instinctive reaction was to bite its opponent and use its poisonous and corrosive saliva to corrode its opponent.
But this bite ended up biting itself. The Bloodsucking Vine was only as thick as a human arm, and the sandworm's bite pierced through the vine and broke through its sturdy defenses.
With that blood, the Bloodsucking Vine seemed to have found a life-saving straw and frantically devoured the sandworm's blood to maintain its life. Then, it drilled into the sandworm's body through its wounds.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun knew that the battle was over.
The sandworm frantically twisted its body in the desert. The Bloodsucking Vine on the surface of its body rapidly withered, but the Bloodsucking Vine in its body rapidly multiplied and developed.
