Chapter 236: Chapter 165: The Ultimate Nightmare, Mu Yuan the Great Sage Takes Action
Yang Ji glanced over and saw the names of the eight Divine Skills clearly.
They were "Eternal Fiendish Slaughter," "Calamitous Clouds Descending," "Three-Point Demon Finger," "Myriad Annihilation Demon God Array," "Scarlet Demonic Claw," "Demon Heart Crossing," "Indestructible Demonic Body," and "Ultimate Nightmare."
The Demon Consort said,
"This 'Eternal Fiendish Slaughter' is a Supreme Divine Power that enhances battle power. It erupts with an aura of slaughter, instantly increasing one's battle power by sixfold. However, cultivating this technique requires absorbing boundless qi of slaughter, necessitating the slaughter of many living creatures."
"'Calamitous Clouds Descending' is a Divine Skill similar to 'Dark Clouds Overhead' but hundreds of times more powerful. When the calamitous clouds appear, they annihilate everything in the heavens, on the earth, and in all directions."
"Both 'Three-Point Demon Finger' and 'Scarlet Demonic Claw' are Supreme Divine Powers with extremely strong lethality, possessing the mighty capability to rend the heavens and split the earth."
"The 'Myriad Annihilation Demon God Array' can absorb endless Heavenly Demons, temporarily merge them into oneself, and form an Ancient Demon with overwhelming battle power. Additionally, it can combine with one's own refined Clone Technique, gathering all strength to unleash terrifying power. The more clones, the stronger the explosive battle power."
"Like 'Eternal Fiendish Slaughter,' this formation is a Supreme Divine Power that enhances battle power and is somewhat similar to the 'Myriad Demon Killing God Array' cultivated by Demon Soldiers.
The 'Myriad Demon Killing God Array' requires each Demon Soldier to condense formation patterns within themselves to combine and display, whereas, by comparison, the 'Myriad Annihilation Demon God Array' is much more flexible."
"'Demon Heart Crossing'! This is a mind Divine Skill that can condense a powerful mind, cultivate the god of the mind, and control one's own Heart Demon, transforming it into a Protective Demon God. What's called the demon mind is the notion of a single thought turning into a demon.
The god of the mind can temporarily merge with the power of the Heart Demon, giving birth to an even more powerful Heart Demon God. The Heart Demon God can shield the mind from attack, while also invading others' minds, cruelly crushing their will to fight, causing dread and despair.
What's called crossing is to do as one pleases, from a single thought becoming a demon to a single thought dissipating the demon, not being controlled by the Heart Demon - this is 'Demon Heart Crossing.'
"'Indestructible Demonic Body' is a body-refining Supreme Divine Power that can make every wisps of Demonic Qi within oneself as hard as metal and stone, heavy as mountains, and transform into a humanoid weapon to attack, such as swords, spears, blades, and halberds, extremely formidable."
"Have you ever heard of killing someone in a dreamscape? This 'Ultimate Nightmare' is precisely such a mystical Divine Skill. Once cast, it can create a variety of terrifying dreams within other people's minds.

Scenarios like 'Demon God Slaughter,' 'Perpetual Hell,' 'Lament of Heaven and Earth,' 'Heavens Crumble and Earth Shatters,' 'Utter Desolation of Humanity,' and so on, silently killing with a dream."
"Aside from killing, 'Ultimate Nightmare' can also be used to control people."
"It can create dreams making oneself appear as the master to others, overwriting their previous memories. If they cannot break free from the dreamscape, they will submit to you. This application happens to share the profound subtlety found in Buddha's Sect's great conversion techniques."
"Of course, the profundity of this Supreme Divine Power goes far beyond this. If you wish, all kinds of dreamscapes can be created—nightmares, beautiful dreams, bewildering dreams—born from a single thought. Inside the dreamscape lies a heaven and earth; outside the dreamscape lies another heaven and earth, a mix of illusion and reality, simultaneously illusory and true."
"The stronger the Demon Soul, the more formidable it is when this Supreme Divine Power is cast."
"This concludes the introduction to these eight Supreme Divine Powers, and you may choose any one of them."
Ultimate Nightmare!
As soon as Yang Ji saw this Divine Skill, his heart was agitated.
With his Immortal Primordial Spirit resembling that of the Mahayana, maximally powerful, if he were to master this Supreme Divine Power to perfection, what would the might of it be once deployed?
Probably, simply creating an "Immortal King's Finger" in the dreamscape could point someone to death alive, incredibly strong indeed.
Without much hesitation, he instantly decided in his heart, it would be "Ultimate Nightmare"!
But honestly, Yang Ji wanted all eight Supreme Divine Powers, after all, one cannot be weighed down by having too many skills.
Especially that 'Demon Heart Crossing,' which could actually cultivate the god of the mind and control the Heart Demon, utilising its strength to transform into a powerful Heart Demon God—was unthinkable.
The Heavenly Demon, indeed worthy of being the ancient ancestor that tempts the Heart Demon, has indeed studied this aspect that other races cannot compare with, actually creating a Divine Skill that can attack the mind.
The nature of the Heavenly Demon is a thought, which can invade others' minds in an instant, this is an ability granted by the Heavenly Dao.
If these Heavenly Demons invade the mind and induce the Heart Demon, it's one thing, but what if they launch a mind attack as well? How could one handle that?
It's essentially like cheating; how can ordinary people resist?
Once the mind is shattered, the Heart Demon rages forth, and one truly becomes a lamb to the slaughter.
Only someone like Yang Ji, a genius with a strong mind, could withstand it.
It was precisely because his mind was so strong and his determination to become immortal was invincible that he took a particular interest in the Demon Heart Crossing. If he could master this divine power, it would truly be like a strong man wielding a sword—powerful in one word!
By then, Yang Ji would really have no weakness; all would be his strengths. Facing an opponent of the same level, he could easily dominate the fight.
Especially since Ultimate Nightmare and Demon Heart Crossing were both incredibly profound and invisible in their attacks, capable of striking an enemy unexpectedly and catching them off guard.
Attacking with both mind and Primordial Spirit together, it was indeed a deadly move.
Yang Ji pondered quietly for a moment, appearing to consider thoughtfully, and after a little while, he said, "Demon Consort, I choose this Ultimate Nightmare!"
"Ultimate Nightmare? Good!" The Demon Consort didn't say much, directly tossing a Jade Slip down to him.
Yang Ji reached out to catch it.
"You may go down now, cultivate well," the Demon Consort said indifferently.
Yang Ji bowed once again and then left the great hall.
If he could perfect the Ultimate Nightmare, it would become his strongest trump card, even allowing him to battle beyond his level.
Without wasting any time, he flew into the hall and plunged into comprehending the skill.
Time flew like a shuttle.
Years went by one by one.
In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed.
Ordinary humans would have lived over half their lives, but Yang Ji sat unmoving for fifty years.
"Fifty years without stepping out once? His attitude towards cultivation isn't bad!" The Demon Consort nodded lightly upon hearing the report from the side of the Demon Monarch, speaking in a cool voice.
"I really don't know what's the point of such arduous cultivation, every day like a log, and no one to play with me," Mo Yan said, resting her chin on her hands, bored.
"Don't disturb him; I want to see how much potential he has. Since he's willing to seize the opportunity, I'm happy to provide him with enough resources," the Demon Consort spoke with great boldness, her manner suggesting a leader's air, impenetrable in depth.
"Oh, I got it," Mo Yan pouted and said.
Yang Ji focused solely on comprehending the Ultimate Nightmare, without any distractions.
In a flash, another ten years passed.
It was on this very day that the Talismans held within the Mount Sea World vibrated suddenly, immediately awakening Yang Ji, who was in a state of cultivation.
"Mu Yuan Great Sage sent a message?" Seeing the words "Action tomorrow" emerge on the Talismans, Yang Ji was vaguely excited.
Many Red Dust Immortals acting together, how spectacular would that be?
Furthermore, the key to Qingyang Immortal Mansion would be obtained tomorrow.
The day was long, yet it seemed to pass quickly.
The following night, suddenly—the Demon Bell rang nine times! At that moment, the only things left between heaven and earth were the sounds of the bell and the tremors of space.
"It's here!" Yang Ji's eyes snapped open with two brilliant beams shooting forth.
(My stomach feels uncomfortable, rumbling and growling. I don't know what I ate, but it led me to the bathroom three times, and now my hemorrhoids are acting up again. The one thing I dread each day is using the toilet, truly calling out in agony. There will only be one chapter today; I'll write more tomorrow, and the story gets more exciting.
