Infernal Artist

boom--

Thunder pierced the sky, and lightning chased away.

A patter of rain falls.

John and Jenny were long gone.

In the muddy rainy field, a man slowly walked from a distance.

He held a long knife in his left and right hands, with a calm look in his eyes. The long knife dragged out two long sparks on the ground, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, which sounded unspeakable.

The monster's body was covered with long fleshy sprouts, and vertical pupils appeared at the top. They all stared at the man until he walked in front of him.

"No...I...why did I enter a blank history? Who is secretly changing everything?" the monster roared in a crazy tone.

The man stood in front of the monster's head, his figure reflected in the monster's vertical pupils, and whispered:

"What unfulfilled wishes do you have?"

"Go to hell!"

roared the monster.

All the vertical pupils around it flashed with light, trapping the man in place with countless light-shaped fences.

The man walked out of the fence nonchalantly and said, "Look, your power has been exhausted and there is no way you can hurt me."

"Impossible! You must have deceived me in some way. This move is definitely not easy to follow." The monster said with its vertical pupils wide open.

The man applauded and said: "Yes, he is indeed the Lord of Nightmares. He can even see through this. It's a pity -"

"You can't kill me!" The Lord of Nightmares said solemnly, "All strange things surrender to me, and no living being has the power to kill me!"

"Sentient beings may not be able to do it, but I am not a sentient being..." the man said.

"What are you?" asked the Lord of Nightmares.

"Neither human nor ghost, like gods or demons - life has long changed us beyond recognition, especially in the era of nightmares."

He suddenly disappeared.

Between heaven and earth, the rain became more torrential, falling on the monster's huge body like a pour, making its injuries gradually become more serious.

"World Sword Technique? Advanced Strange Sword Technique? Not enough! It can't kill me! Hahaha——"

The monster laughed wildly.

With its disdainful laughter, the rain gradually turned into dark spots of light, filling the whole world.

All sounds disappear.

Two lines of small burning characters appeared:

"You give up and continue to use the advanced strange knife technique: Rain Slash."

"You start trying to bring out more power."

The fine print is closed.

The whole world gradually fell into deep darkness.

A black figure stood in the deserted wilderness holding two knives, with a two-headed snake of light and darkness coiled around his body.

"This is the power of sleep and silence, I have given it all to you." The female God of Death shouted.

"Below is my power -" Mother Earth said.

"And me," God said.

The twin snakes of light and darkness entwined from the soles of Liu Ping's feet upwards, spiraling into a snake-shaped crown above his head, exuding boundless dim golden light. Finally, they were ignited by a ray of white holy light, and turned into a burning sun disk, completely appearing in the sky. Behind Liu Ping.

All the vertical pupils on the monster made dense sounds:

"It's just a few declining gods... useless! Even if I lie here to be killed by you, you can't kill me! This is an insurmountable power gap between you and me!"

Liu Ping finally raised his swords.

All the light fell down and turned into endless darkness on his blade.

"They just pushed me, because even I have just learned this move, and it really lacks some firepower."

The words fell.

Liu Ping suddenly disappeared from where he was.

The entire world turned into a huge snake of darkness, overlooking the monster lying on the ground below.

Its pupils exude infinite adsorption power, and just by looking at everything, black holes are created one after another in the void.

King-level strange knife skills——

Snake kiss!

This is exactly the sword skill Liu Ping acquired in Hidden Camp No. 3011 two thousand years later!

If the advanced strange knife technique that I randomly obtained cannot kill it——

Then this move, which combines all the power of the Twins of Death, the God of Death, Mother Earth, the Omniscient Lord and Liu Ping, is the last hope!

"The fallen gods worked together to seize this opportunity to give birth to me. It's really interesting..."

The giant dark snake made a buzzing sound, circled around the Lord of Nightmares, and slowly opened its mouth.

"No -" the Lord of Nightmares said hurriedly, "For the sake of being a weirdo, don't eat me. After I recover from my injury, there will be something -"

"Starting from me, strange things are no longer exclusive to nightmares." The dark snake said.

Its voice disappears.

The whole world has lost all sound. Even if the Lord of Nightmares continues to say something, he can no longer make any sound.

Silence.

Under the silence of all laws, the dark snake swallowed the monster completely at a slow but firm speed, crawling towards the depths of darkness.

Nothing was left in place.

——Even the void turned into nothing, as if it was swallowed up by the giant snake along with the monster.

A flash.

All illusions disappear.

The world is restored to its original state.

In the ruins, John and Jenny, who were looking dull, gradually came back to their senses.

"What just happened?" John couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, we seem to be controlled by monsters." Jenny said.

The two were so frightened that they jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran away.

There was no movement behind him.

They ran some distance before they realized what was going on and quickly looked back together.

I saw a figure standing in front of the huge monster, holding a knife in both hands, motionless.

Monsters have no life either.

silence.

"What's going on?" Jenny covered her mouth and asked.

John frowned and said: "We were obviously controlled, but now we are able to break free. It must be because of this person."

He raised his feet and walked towards the figure.

Jenny quickly followed.

The two of them came to the figure cautiously.

I saw this was a young man with a tired look, holding a knife in both hands, frozen in place motionless.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the void:

"John, Jenny."

The two of them were startled, and then they were overjoyed and said, "Aunt Meng!"

"It's me," the female Death God said in a weak voice: "You guys hug this boy and jump."

"Jump?" they both said in unison.

"Quick, hurry up." The female Death God urged.

"Ah good."

John and Jenny stepped forward together, held Liu Ping on the left and right, and jumped into the air together.

When their feet leave the ground -

The whole world quickly left their feet, and countless scenes turned into blurred lines and quickly left around them.

thump!

When they fell, they caused splashes of water.

The surrounding area is no longer the destroyed city.

I saw that this was an underground cave, and the three of them were standing in a pool of clear and warm spring water.

Another female voice then sounded:

"The last underground spring of life in the world - I squeezed out the last few drops of its essence to restore Liu Ping's life."

Another old and solemn voice sounded: "Two children, please come out of the spring, otherwise there will not be enough for him."

Then came the voice of the female Death: "John, Jenny, you come out of the spring first."

The twins left the spring in a hurry.

They looked towards the spring water and saw that all the spring water was rushing towards the young man and gradually submerged into his body.

The entire pool is drying up at a speed that can be seen.

finally--

The young man's body moved slightly, and suddenly he let out a long sigh and said, "It's so dangerous."

He sheathed his swords, limped out of the pool, and sat down slowly against the rock wall.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"You killed a nightmare lord as a mortal."

"This has never happened before in countless world timelines."

“Given that you already have ‘Twilight’s Embrace’ and have evolved into the pre-title of ‘Pre-Tide Icon’, you have obtained a brand new title:”

"The King of Hell."

"This is an unprecedented title, a rare name, a hidden nameplate of thousands of time and space, an accident of strange and mysterious methods, and the only title among all living beings."

"Title Effect 1: All spiritual beings and gods will sense your power and make due contributions to you to gain their own merit and evolution, otherwise they will suffer the consequences of karma."

"Title effect two: With this name, once you escape the gaze of nightmares, they will immediately be unable to detect your whereabouts."

"——For nightmares, resisting their will is the gravest sin of all living beings. You have already done this to the extreme."

"——All the laws are converging on you, just for this unprecedented great feat. Even nightmares cannot stop it. This is the beginning of the restlessness and spewing of Qiwei into another era."

All the small words disappeared in a flash.

I also saw lines of burning small characters appearing quickly:

"You killed a nightmare lord."

"The merits you have obtained are enough to advance the Advanced Strange Knife Technique: Rain Slash to the next level."

"This is the only moment when the skill loop is completed. Please cherish it and use it immediately."

"——Otherwise, the deviation between the world and time will make the four laws unstable, thus attracting the attention of unknown beings."

Liu Ping suddenly understood and whispered:

"After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be like this...use it immediately!"

Following his voice, new lines of small characters appeared:

"You used all your merit."

"You have used the four laws of 'Creation', 'Holy', 'Earth', and 'Death' to further advance the original high-level strange knife skills."

"A new strange sword technique has been born."

"Congratulations!"

"You created the king-level magic knife technique: the snake-possessed kiss."

"Please pass it on until the moment you come back two thousand years later, so that everything can be hidden in the closed loop of the times, so that all nightmares cannot detect the historical landmark moment when the weirdness has begun to turn towards all living beings."
