Chapter 138: Chapter 138: He Once Created an SSS Dungeon With a Single Thought, the Doomsday of Legend

You’ve really seen it?

At his words.

A fiery excitement sparked in the eyes of the Nightmare Hunter members.

Regarding their Lord.

They all worshipped him as a god, holding him in the utmost reverence.

They followed his path, craving even a glance from him.

Unfortunately, their Lord was simply too powerful. Add to that the fearsome reputation of the Nightmare Hunter, and basically no powerful ghost dared to start trouble. As a result, they’d never had a chance to see their Lord make a move.

They had no idea what their Lord’s true strength was.

Legend said he had surpassed the realm of Great Evils, reaching a state no one could possibly match.

He could annihilate heaven and earth with a wave of his hand and reverse life and death with a single thought.

And abilities like these, which no one could even imagine, were just one of many trivial rumors about him.

"Can you tell us about it?"

Yun Zhenyue’s interest was piqued, and she asked as well.

Yu Honghui gazed at the Fierce Ghost Mall in the distance and nodded. "Since it is your order, then I shall tell the story..."

He waved his hand.

A thin wall of ice immediately materialized, enveloping the Nightmare Hunter members, along with Yun Zhenyue and Mengmeng.

This ice wall would block all sound, preventing anyone outside from hearing them.

As everyone watched in anticipation,

Yu Honghui slowly began to speak.

"It was a long time ago. I don’t remember exactly when."

"You all probably know that I joined the Nightmare Hunter a long time ago. Unfortunately, my potential was limited and my progress was slow, so I remained a low-ranking member."

As he said this,

a nostalgic look appeared in his pure white eyes.

"Once, I was on an investigation mission with a few other members."

"Our target was a mid-level Evil Star called the Holy Nest. We didn’t think much of it at first, but then a member died. Only then did we realize..."

"Its ability was beyond terrifying. It could reproduce endlessly from nothing more than its own cells."

"Do you know what a planarian is? If you cut one into four pieces, in a short while, those pieces will become four new planarians."

"Its ability was just like that. A severed finger, a strand of hair—any part was enough to become a new Resurrection Body. And each of those Resurrection Bodies had the power of a Crimson-robed Ghost."

"Every time we dealt it a heavy blow, we were actually giving it an opportunity to multiply."

"I tried to use Eternal Damnation Condensation to kill all the Resurrection Bodies at once, but it was useless. It had hidden so much of its tissue throughout the instance, it was like an anthill—completely endless."

His words sent a chill down everyone’s spine.

’An ability like that actually exists?’

’Isn’t that just cheating?!’

’Hurting it just helps it multiply, and even if they all die, it doesn’t matter because they’re just Resurrection Bodies.’

’How is that an Evil Star?’

’Some Great Evils aren’t even this terrifying!’

Mengmeng shivered. She was terrified of these kinds of horror stories, and Yu Honghui’s cold, haunting tone only added to the eerie atmosphere.

"What happened in the end? Did the Lord take action?" a Nightmare Hunter member couldn’t help but ask.

"Not at first. He was very busy back then, leading a group of mid- and high-ranking members on an expedition."

Yu Honghui shook his head.

"Later, the Holy Nest grew more cunning and vicious. It learned to lay siege to bait reinforcements, deliberately trapping a new recruit who had just joined the Nightmare Hunter. This forced others to come to the rescue, leaving them no choice but to fight it." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"It absorbed the Yin energy of the Nightmare Hunter members and grew stronger through its endless reproduction. In just a few days, it became a high-level Evil Star."

"By the time our Lord returned, the Holy Nest had already become a peak-level Evil Star."

"For a hundred li in every direction, the land was piled high with its Resurrection Bodies—more than one hundred thousand of them!"

’One hundred thousand Crimson-robed Ghosts?’

His story!

Left Mengmeng absolutely stunned!

Her delicate eyelashes trembled like a frightened butterfly’s wings, and her nails dug into the lace trim of her dress.

’And she was still just a lowly Fierce Ghost!!’

’Even if those Resurrection Bodies couldn’t compare to a real Crimson-robed Ghost, they weren’t something a little Fierce Ghost like her could ever hope to provoke. It’s hard to imagine... could such a terrifying existence really be destroyed?’

Yun Zhenyue also found it hard to believe.

’Gu Yuan actually faced such a powerful enemy before?’

Her heart grew tense as she listened to Yu Honghui’s story.

But Yu Honghui’s next words.

Left everyone utterly dumbfounded.

"It was right at that moment that I happened to witness our Lord take action."

Yu Honghui said, taking a deep breath.

"I saw him use just one sword strike!"

"Effortlessly, he slew every single Resurrection Body within a hundred-li radius!"

"That day, his back was to me. I saw the sky turn the color of blood. I saw scarlet gore dye his white robes crimson. And I saw endless Crimson-robed Ghosts wail and contort under that single sword strike. It was like a living inferno!"

"Their flesh and blood dissolved. Every cell, every telomere, was utterly annihilated, body and soul!"

"The ground cracked apart and lava erupted from the fissures. Countless bones rotted away to form a bloody throne, a true feast of death!"

"I was in a daze. I only snapped out of it when I heard our Lord walk up to me and gently say, ’Let’s go.’ That’s why I’ve always wanted to know if he even remembered my face."

’Killing a hundred thousand Crimson-robed Ghosts with a single sword strike?’

This terrifying account left the Nightmare Hunter members completely stunned.

The members were all breathing heavily, their faces flushed with excitement!

They wished they could go back to the day Yu Honghui described!

To witness that scene with their own eyes!

They didn’t doubt for a second whether Yu Honghui’s story was true.

After all, in their eyes, their Lord’s power was simply beyond description.

Forget a hundred thousand Crimson-robed Ghosts with one strike—they would have believed it even if he said a hundred thousand Evil Stars!

They would have believed it all the same!

Yun Zhenyue finally understood. No wonder Mr. Yu had been so desperate to know if Gu Yuan recognized him when they first met.

All the viewers in the Dragon Country listened with trembling hearts!

It was as if they were listening to a myth.

But he wasn’t finished.

Then they heard Yu Honghui add, "Because so many Crimson-robed Ghosts were killed there, the Yin energy grew so dense that the place where our Lord swung his sword supposedly became an SSS-rank instance."

"Some say the aftershock of that one strike has never faded, and that the ghosts within that instance are tormented by eternal pain. That’s why they named it [Doomsday]..."

"However, I visited not long ago, and it seems our Lord moved the entire place elsewhere. There’s nothing but an empty field there now."

After finishing his story,

Yu Honghui sighed slowly and said, "And that’s why I said you haven’t seen anything yet."

"Compared to our Lord, what I can do is just a cheap trick."

"However, that sword strike didn’t seem to be his true power. As for what our Lord’s actual power is, I’m not sure myself, so don’t bother asking me."

...

After listening to the entire story,

the global audience felt as if they were in a dream.

It was just too exaggerated!

A peak-level Evil Star that could reproduce infinitely?

Killing one hundred thousand Crimson-robed Ghosts with a single sword strike?

The aftershock of that one strike created an SSS-rank instance?

—And it was named [Doomsday]?

One shocking revelation after another!

Like a tidal wave, it crashed over the minds of the global audience!

After all,

in all religions and mythologies,

the so-called Doomsday is the end of the world and the final destination of the soul.

Like Ragnarök in other cultures, or the Underworld in the Dragon Country’s own myths.

But the Ghost World’s Land of the Doomsday was created by Gu Yuan?

In other words, a place like that could be man-made?

Wouldn’t that make him a creator god?

This joke was getting way out of hand!
