The sky over the Spiral Mountains began to dim.
Countless grains of sand formed sand whirls, twisting and distorting in the air.
The Sand Sea Priest, clad in a gray robe and wearing an ancient mask, gazed towards the peak of the Spiral Mountains and advanced step by step, shattering all the dreams along his path.
His posture was akin to an ancient deity from the myths of the Eifeh region.
"Finally found you. Not bad."
Yan Zu chuckled softly. He had known the Sand Sea Priest would come, as he had no intention of hiding himself, and this world was far too small.
"I believe I've come too late. If I had arrived sooner, much trouble would have been avoided," the Sand Sea Priest declared with murderous intent.
The ancestors of the Priest family had merely sealed Yan Zu. Now, the Sand Sea Priest intended to kill him.
Although he was unsure if his abilities were sufficient, he was determined to try.
Yan Zu paid no mind to the Sand Sea Priest's threats. As a mere Calamity-level entity, the Sand Sea Priest posed no threat to him.
Despite being left with only the power level of a Star God after a long sealing, this was the deepest part of the dreamscape, his domain. Here, no one could kill him.
Yan Zu's smile suddenly froze. A black pillar of light shot up into the sky, dyeing the other side of the eighteen layers of the Spiral Mountain black.
Wen Wen, who had just flicked his finger, waved his hand again. The world he was in, riddled with cracks, instantly collapsed.
The surrounding dreams shattered one by one. The victims lost in their dreams finally awoke under the external force.
This Spiral Mountain range consisted of eighteen layers. No matter how long one traversed the dreamscape, they would only be treading water. To ascend, one had to break through the dreams and move against the dream flow.
Intense wind pressure blew through Yan Zu's hair, obscuring his look of shock.
"That direction... is that interesting little fellow? He's actually a hidden Star God?"
"No wonder I couldn't see through him. But what was his purpose in hiding? Why would a Star God pretend to be an ant to be toyed with by me? Is he a masochist?"
"And why does this aura feel somewhat familiar?"
He turned his body and saw Wen Wen's attire. Suddenly, he felt an urge to flee.
Because he recognized the aura and the clothing. It belonged to the perverted powerhouse who had sealed him within the pyramid thousands of years ago!
Yan Zu subconsciously took two steps back, his panicked expression visible to the Sand Sea Priest, who wore a look of confusion.
This suddenly appearing individual was likely the Calamity-level powerhouse Black Cross. Who was his true identity, and why did such an ancient great evil as Yan Zu fear him so much?
After retreating a distance, Yan Zu suddenly stopped and straightened his body.
"My apologies, I was momentarily distraught. I have just realized... you are not him."
"Even in his weakened state, he would not be merely this level. You are too immature."
A mixed aura of pink and gray emerged around Yan Zu, causing the entire Spiral Mountain range to tremble. Those victims immersed in dreams looked up, all sensing the change in their world.
"You two don't think that by combining your strength, you can deal with me, do you?"
"Although I'm down on my luck, I'm still not to be bullied by two stray dogs like you. Have you considered the price of attacking me?"
Yan Zu had sufficient reason to be arrogant because he believed that in this extraterrestrial realm, only that mysterious pervert could seal him again or kill him.
And that pervert had not appeared for a long time. Perhaps he had already left this world, or perhaps he had simply croaked.
Even if these two Star Gods joined forces, what if they could defeat him?
They could not kill him, nor seal him, nor even significantly harm him. In the days to come, these two would face endless harassment.
Once the barrier of this world disappeared, these two audacious Star Gods would bear his unending wrath.
Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest exchanged a glance, reaching an agreement of alliance. They attacked simultaneously.
"As the cage rises, all worlds become a prison."
Wen Wen pressed his hand to the ground. Cages resembling containment facilities rose, and the power of the facilities enveloped the battlefield. Thick chains flew out from the cells, swaggering in mid-air.
In the True Sequence, 'Hand of Restraint' could only be used occasionally. In the Calamity state, it could be freely unleashed. Sultan Novel Network.
A black vortex appeared in the sky, a massive black longsword began to condense, and a powerful move was brewing.
The Sand Sea Priest, however, had a different style. As soon as he began to fight, he seemed intent on destroying everything. Yellow sand enveloped everything. This sand was sharper than any blade, making flesh, rock, and even steel as fragile as tofu.
Some special sands lurked within the sea of sand. These special sands were incredibly stealthy, but their power was enough to threaten Calamity-level entities.
Seeing that both of them had launched their attacks, Yan Zu let out a cold哼 and reached out towards the sky.
Instantly, the wind and clouds shifted, the heavens and earth changed. The gray and pink mixed energy, carrying world-ending might, struck towards Wen Wen and the other.
Compared to this attack, Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest's grand displays seemed petty.
The sight tightened the hearts of Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest, but upon collision, Yan Zu's true form was revealed.
His seemingly powerful attack shattered under the assaults of Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest. He quickly flew upwards, evading their combined attack.
Afterward, Yan Zu's figure became ethereal, and the surrounding scenery began to twist and become fantastical.
A head-on confrontation was not an option, so Yan Zu changed his combat style.
He was a master of illusions and dreams. In this environment, it would be very difficult for Wen Wen and the Sand Sea Priest to catch him.
Sometimes, even the toilets were filled with Yan Zu's face. Other times, Yan Zu's shadow could not be seen throughout the entire Spiral Mountain range.
Wen Wen was concentrating on searching when he suddenly felt a chill at his feet. His heel was pricked by a sharp spike.
Countless black chains spun and cut wildly around Wen Wen, but they couldn't catch Yan Zu's shadow.
Wen Wen became enraged: "For San Zai'er's meals, I'll kill you too!"
The Sand Sea Priest was surrounded by sand, making him a difficult target to attack directly. Therefore, Wen Wen became the primary target of harassment.
This greatly angered Wen Wen. Veins bulged on his forehead as he considered whether to don the Illusionary Desire Heavenly Robe again, as it might offer some resistance to illusionary effects.
Being forced to wear women's clothing as cannon fodder was one thing; he could kill everyone afterwards, and no one would know Wen Wen had worn women's clothing.
But to wear women's clothing in front of a Calamity-level powerhouse was too embarrassing, and he couldn't silence the Sand Sea Priest.
"If shame can give me strength, then... should I make a sacrifice?"
Fortunately, at this moment, the Sand Sea Priest seemed to have completed some arrangement, and Wen Wen temporarily abandoned this thought.
