“White Three, stop!” Chu Mu used mental voice to give the black nightmare a command.
The black nightmare and Chu Mu look the same. Its eyes full of violence finally flickered after Chu Mu’s command.
Glancing over, the Black Nightmare saw Chu Mu standing amongst the flames.
As if it saw the most imposing and undefiable king, the black nightmare immediately retracted all its evil violence, and let out a call.
The black flames disappeared at this moment. At the same time, the terrifying evil that shrouded the Wanxiang City finally dissipated.
Standing in the ice seal, its eyes stared innocently at Chu Mu.
After the devil flame disappeared, cloud gate elder let out a sigh of relief.
The black nightmare’s power was too terrifying. If not for the old man’s timely intervention, Wanxiang City would have been destroyed.
Thankfully, Bai Yu was in the Nightmare sacred Realm training when he found this fellow mutating. He told everyone in Nightmare Palace to evacuate early. However, Black Nightmare created black storms that could kill countless people!
“Thank goodness the fellow listens to you.” Cloud Gate Elder said with a blackened face.
The cloud gate elder originally thought that protecting New Moon gGround would be an easy thing. Yet, he never guessed that New Moon Ground had dangerous things hiding in every corner. This suddenly crazy black nightmare nearly took his life.
“It’s changing color.” Cloud gate elder said.
Chu Mu looked over and indeed noticed the black nightmare’s black slowly fading away to its original silver.
After White Three regained its silver flames, its evil finally became more normal. One could tell White Three’s mind was slowly coming back to him.
White Three recovered its silver hue and cloud gate elder finally dared to remove his ice walls.
“Nie~~~~~”
White Three continued to call out innocently and carefully floated behind Chu Mu as if he was a child that just caused trouble. It had its head lowered miserably.
Turning from black back to silver was a transformation that Chu Mu was confused by. He wasn’t sure how to explain the situation either.
“What happened?” Chu Mu asked Cloud Gate Elder.
“How would I know?” Cloud Gate Elder said in a poor mood.
The old man had his beard burned of and he was completely covered in soot. One could tell he wasn’t feeling the best.
“It’s Nightmare Evil Palace. I’ve seen it in Nightmare Sacred Region before, a Nightmare Evil Palace. It probably was created by the nightmare civilization long ago. It hides a very evil power within it. I thought the evil power was too strong in it, so I didn’t dare go in to explore. When I returned, I found your subordinate was already in it and had gained some power. All the devil flames on its body were now silver.” Bai Yu explained.
News about Nightmare Evil Palace was something Bai Yu discovered last year.
Bai Yu was in Nightmare Sacred Realm for a long time. The Evil palace was something he didn’t even dare to go, yet the reckless White Three ran right into it…...
Bai Yu knew White Three for a while now. This white nightmare was one of the strongest in Nightmare Sacred Realm. Others had told him that White Three was a subordinate of Chu Mu after he became a devil.
“Species mutation, this fellow has mutating blood. Adding on the evil palace’s stimulation, it caused the white nightmare to enter the unstable phase between species.” Cloud gate elder stood on the steps and breathed heavily.
“Really, species mutation? But, black nightmare….” Chu Mu siad.
“That’s normal. The highest bloodline in Nightmare Species was never white nightmare or silver nightmare. It is black nightmare. This white nightmare was probably nurtured by some special aura and had its mutating blood stimulated. After stimulus, the chance that it actually mutates isn’t high still, but it entered the evil palace and got some inheritance to push it into mutation.” Cloud Gate Elder said.
“If it really is a mutation, that isn’t too bad because it won’t cause its mind to change. Yet, the fellow was stuck in between species, so it was pushing between black and silver nightmares!”
Cloud Gate Elder spoke of silver nightmare, but it was actually white nightmare. A white nightmare that reached dominator rank was called a silver nightmare because its flames were silver.
“What is this, mutation is mutation. Why is it stuck in between?” Chu Mu was still confused.
“Level problem. Black Nightmare’s rank is too high. Its own species rank is monarch rank. Though it is already dominator rank, the jump from silver nightmare to black nightmare was a transformation that is very against nature. Every time it tries to become a black nightmare, it is burning its life away. This mutation is way too against nature, so its closer to a suicidal action.” Cloud Gate Elder said.
Chu Mu’s heart fell. If White Three could successfully become the highest bloodline black nightmare, it was definitely a good thing. After all, no matter what Whtite Three became, it still listened to him. Yet, it was stuck halfway…..
“Is there any way to solve it?” Chu Mu immediately asked.
“No, let’s kill it.” Cloud gate elder said with a bad temper.
The black nightmare had truly put him through a lot.
The black nightmare was something that hasn’t appeared in the human world for a while. With New Moon Ground this weak, the black nightmare’s appearance was not much different from the ancient dragon man awakening early. It would be a catastrophe. That’s why Cloud Gate Leader thought it better that this half mutated creature were killed off first.
Chu Mu laughed helplessly. He could tell that cloud gate elder wanted White Three dead while it was still a white nightmare, lest it becomes a black nightmare and loses its mind again.
White Three had followed him around for many years, and was basically half a soul pet to him. How could Chu Mu bear to attack it?
“Old Li, think of something.” Chu Mu shouted at his spatial ring.
“Young master, I’m already on it!” Old Li hopped out miserably.
White Three’s mutation truly was a headache.
“Young master, I feel like this has something to do with the special young girl you met before.” Old Li said.
“You mean Ning Maner?” Chu mu asked.
“En, likely her. Organism species restrictions are nature bound. Since she could let your soul pets break through restrictions, she could probably to a certain extent incite the mutation blood in some organisms. Didn’t the old man say the white nightmare must have been nurtured by some special aura?” Odl Li said.
Old Li explained and Chu Mu somewhat understood now.
White Three was the closest to Ning Maner, so Ning Maner likely helped White Three the most. It’s likely that Ning Maner powered White Three’s blood.
“Of course, just having the blood wasn't enough. In reality, many soul pets have mutating blood in their veins. However, they will never mutate. Yet, this guy ran right into the evil palace. Even Bai Yu said the evil power in the palace was too strong and he didn’t dare explore it. This means most white nightmares will instantly disintegrate when entering. Yet, he had a mutating blood so after it inherited the power, it was possible that it started mutating….”
“Mutating bloods are split into a few categories. The first is a weak mutation. This means that it has the blood but the chance of mutation was incredibly low. It constantly stays in a dormant state. The second type is strong mutation. Organisms that have such bloodlines will immediately mutate as long as it wasn’t dead and needed the power incredibly at one point in their lives. Of course, the little fox’s blood is something else entirely. I have no idea what you would call that.”
“Anyways, this white nightmare has a weak mutation blood. Stepping into black nightmare truly is too hard. Some organisms succeed in mutating when the chances are one in quadrillions, but there are also countless failures. Those that succeed become an eternal legend passed on in the ages, while those who fail get swallowed up by the tides of time, disappearing….”
Old Li’s words already started reaching the life cycle of all soul pets.
Indeed, White Three’s mutation could allow it to become the utmost king of nightmares, but it was infinitely more likely it would just disintegrate in the process…..
Thinking about it, Chu Mu’s heart sank.
Chu Mu knew White Three well actually. Different from the mischievous Nightmare conqueror, it was a very diligent white nightmare.
Especially after almost instantly dying to Zhen Wu’s attack back then, White Three started training every day to make itself stronger.
It could be said that after that many years, Ning Maner getting taken away was still something White Three would never let go. It trained like a mad man and was already much stronger than most of its species. It had become the strongest of Nightmare sacred realm. The reason it dared to walk into the evil palace was definitely because it felt like it still wasn’t strong enough and wanted to gain absolute power…...
White three’s actions were indeed rash. The acceptance of the black nightmare put it not far from death. However, with a soul pet so eager to get stronger, Chu Mu would feel incredibly sad if it lost its life halfway.
The stairway to experts is filled with forgone lives.
Seeing White Three stand beside him well behaved, Chu Mu’s heart felt a twinge of pain.
“Young master, if you leave it in nightmare sacred realm and Wanxiang City, something will definitely go wrong. And, while its mutating blood hasn’t settled, restricting it will only anger it and incite it. There probably isn’t any place in new moon ground that can completely seal it off.”
“Thankfully, it still listens to you when it becomes a black nightmare. Young master can actually bring it on this trip to Wupan Continent. If you find the special young girl before it dies, it may have hope. If the young girl could excite its weak mutation blood, she may be able to help it actually become a black nightmare.” Old Li said.
