Chapter 630: Chapter 529: Half-step Transcendence
On the Moon, the aura of Dream Demon Frog is continuously rising.
The inflowing black spiritual energy is strengthening his spiritual consciousness.
His fusion with the Divine Heart is also entering its final stage.
A mystical enlightenment emerged in his mind, encompassing all that belongs to the Dream Dao.
Frog is now walking along this Dream Dao, about to reach its end!
But just then, that mysterious feeling abruptly stopped.
Between Blue Star and the Moon, the black spiritual energy like rolling mist was intercepted by a tiny, inconspicuous black dot.
A figure emerged from blurry to clear in Frog’s eyes.
It was none other than the Great Xia Leader, Han Zhan, whom he despised and hated for sabotaging his great plan of resurrection!
"Sorry, would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"
Han Zhan also saw the huge pupil embedded in the Moon.
He apologized verbally, but there was no apology to be heard in his tone.
"It’s you!"
Seeing Han Zhan, the crimson on the Moon intensified.
Frog had long harbored hatred for Han Zhan, and now, just as he was about to step into the Realm of Transcendence, the same stumbling block appeared again. New grudges mixed with old ones made it hard for Frog to stay calm.
"Did you break through Tier Nine?"
Angry as he was, Frog still retained basic judgment. With his current power, it was easy to gauge Han Zhan’s realm.
There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
If he remembered correctly, Han Zhan was just a Tier Seven Spirit Contract Master back in the City of Extreme Evil.
How long has it been?
Unlike him, who could quickly recover to Tier Nine Peak thanks to dream realm spiritual energy, Deformation Potion, Nightmare Cells, and endless years in the City of Extreme Evil.
He was the initial prodigy at Longevity Company, but who was Han Zhan?
A newcomer leader just emerging, not even a few years into awakening as a Spirit Contract Master.
By what means?!
At this thought, Dream Demon Frog felt a twinge of jealousy.
The arrogant geniuses never looked down on ordinary mediocrities, and even amongst geniuses of the same rank, there was rivalry.
But someone like Han Zhan, who in just a few years advanced to become Tier Nine Ultimate, was beyond a genius, he was a true monster, a genuine prodigy of his time!
"So what."
"Ultimately, you’re just a mere Tier Nine."
Dream Demon Frog’s voice regained its calm.
He had the right to say this because his current realm was Half-step Transcendence!
"Even if you forcibly interrupted the transfer of spiritual energy to me, it merely delayed the step."
"But you will pay with your life for this."
This time, he was truly Half-step Transcendence; even a Tier Nine Peak could only turn and flee from him.
A mere freshly advanced Tier Nine Ultimate—
"Then, let’s see!"
Han Zhan, standing in the boundless cosmos, raised his head and said calmly.
He stood between Blue Star and the Moon, the last line of defense!
Without any redundant words, an invisible ripple spread from the crimson Moon.
Soon after, Han Zhan was drawn into Frog’s exclusive dream realm.
The boundless night sky suddenly turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.
This was Han Zhan’s first time entering the dream realm.
"Foolish." Dream Demon Frog’s voice echoed again.
In his perception, Han Zhan clearly possessed Original Dao Soldiers, able to a certain extent to resist the dream realm and prevent his true form from being pulled into it.
Frog originally thought the process would be somewhat troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Han Zhan didn’t resist at all, directly entering the dream realm, into his home ground.
"I can’t blame you. You probably haven’t even heard of what the dream realm is, which is why you came in so recklessly without any resistance."
"Everyone has their own desires; let me see what yours are."
As Frog finished speaking, the dream particles in the realm surged towards Han Zhan.
The Half-step Transcendence powers personally acted, and even with the Original Dao Soldiers under the assault of these desire dream particles, it would have exploded inevitably.
But an unexpected scene occurred.
The dream particles passed right through Han Zhan’s body, unable to evoke even a single desire.
How is this possible?!
Everyone, as long as they’re human, harbors emotions and desires.
If one has no desires, an unasked-for life, one can never reach Han Zhan’s heights.
But why did the previously unstoppable desire dream particles fail?
"I can feel the slaughter within my heart surging wildly." Han Zhan spoke at this moment.
When he spoke, he lifted his head, and in his eyes, golden and black flames began to burn again.
The dream particles hadn’t failed; they successfully sparked Han Zhan’s desire, his desire being slaughter!
However, this desire for slaughter didn’t cause Han Zhan to deform because as the "Mind Ape," it had been entirely tamed by Han Zhan, turning into something at his disposal.
Thus, Han Zhan was entirely immune to the dream particles evoking desires within the dream realm!
After one setback, Frog remained unmoved.
Dream particles and desires were just the most basic means in the dream realm, not all of it.
The one who truly needed him to unleash his full power was Han Zhan, the first.
"Then let me show you what a dream is!"
A dream is a place where spiritual energy gathers.
Here, the more powerful the spiritual energy, the more things can be accomplished, and Frog is undoubtedly the ruler of the entire dream realm.
He will be omnipotent!
For instance—
As Frog spoke, a vast sky fissure tore open atop Han Zhan’s head, and an incredibly familiar Holy Sword plummeted down from it.
It was Xuanyuan Sword!
Directly ahead, a melodious and stirring sound of zither emerged, accompanied by golden warrior spirits appearing densely, converging into a golden ocean.
That was Fu Xi Zither!
And Haotian Tower, Nuwa Stone, Shennong Cauldron, Kunlun Mirror...
All the Ancient Divine Soldiers and their formidable techniques appeared in front of Han Zhan, recreated with utmost form!
"Now, do you understand?"
"What it means when they say everything can happen in a dream."
Half-step Transcendence Dream Demon Frog cracked a dry joke.
Seeing this scene unfold before him, Han Zhan suddenly comprehended.
"You can replicate everything that happens within the dream realm, turning them into your own means."
"So, in the beginning, the dream realm is blank; the blank dream realm isn’t powerful. Only after repeated battles and replication does the dream realm gradually grow strong!"
This is the truly terrifying aspect of the dream realm!
"Congratulations, you got it right." Frog did not deny it.
"However, on what grounds do you assume that the techniques used by my contracted spirits, I do not know how to use myself?"
Confronted by endless familiar attacks, Han Zhan didn’t retreat. He spread his hands, and a black hole vortex condensed behind him.
"Moreover, compared to them, I possess an extra Original Dao Soldiers!"
