Chapter 2303 - Little Grass? Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan! (1/2)

“Heaven!”

Wang Chong trembled, for he had already guessed the answer.

At the most intense point of the battle, a red light had suddenly dropped from the skies. That terrifying energy had instantly defeated Wang Chong’s two Divine Embryos, Su Zhengchen, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief… All of them had been overwhelmed by that power.

The gap between the two sides was just too great. Even at the end, none of them had even been able to see the originator of that red light, not even Little Nightmare.

In other words, they had been defeated before they could even see Heaven’s true face.

The Wushang Village Chief, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and Su Zhengchen had all been swept up by that red light and had disappeared without a trace.

As for Divine Embryos 2 and 3, they had sensed something wrong. Divine Embryo 3 had used Ice-Sealed World to seal more than half the capital in ice, buying the two Divine Embryos enough time to successfully flee the capital.

In the end, besides Divine Embryos 2 and 3 and a small number of people, everyone had been taken hostage by Heaven.

The answer he had received from Little Nightmare’s memories left Wang Chong’s heart heavy.

It was good news that Divine Embryos 2 and 3 had managed to escape, albeit wounded, but the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief had both been taken hostage by Heaven. This was a heavy stone weighing on his heart.

In his short trip to Sindhu, far too much had happened in the capital. To say that the heavens had changed would not be excessive.

Wang Chong had never imagined this possible.

In Wang Chong’s clash with the Celestial God Organization and Heaven, there was no doubt that Heaven had the upper hand with his hostages.

Master, Village Chief, Senior Su, I’ll definitely save you! Wang Chong said to himself.

After a long while, Wang Chong asked, “Little Nightmare, why didn’t you run with them instead of returning underground?”

The ambush from Heaven and Essence Supreme had caught Wang Chong off guard.

If Little Nightmare hadn’t charged out and detonated its soul and physical body, Wang Chong would have never been able to so easily escape from Heaven.

One could say that Little Nightmare had used its life to open a path for Wang Chong.

After a few moments of silence, Little Nightmare said, “I was the last to arrive at the battlefield. At the time, Heaven’s attention was on Divine Embryos 2 and 3, not on me. Moreover, Nightmare Beasts have a skill for mental concealment known as ‘Traceless Nightmare’. It can constrict all of one’s Psychic Energy into a ball that leaks out no energy. Even Heaven would be hard-pressed to find me.”

Wang Chong nodded. The Nightmare Beasts were an extremely unique species, which was already obvious through the Destiny Tempering. A normal human’s soul would have never been able to survive a self-detonation, but the unique traits of a Nightmare Beast had allowed it to survive.

Heaven was extremely powerful, and it would have been very difficult to escape his senses, but this was not true when it came to the mental existences that were Nightmare Beasts.

Little Nightmare truly did have the ability to pull this off.

“At the time, I was also about to leave the capital, but something I saw at the end made me change my mind,” Little Nightmare sternly said.

“Once those people had succeeded, they did not take Master’s parents or the other people of the Wang family hostage. On the contrary, they put many of the people back, and they even restored the Wang Family Residence and the King of Foreign Lands Residence so that they looked the same as before. It was as if nothing had happened. I knew at that moment that they were plotting something big.

“It was incredibly likely that they were targeting Master.”

Little Nightmare voiced its conclusions.

“The capital is far from Sindhu, so even if I wanted to find Master, I might not do so in time. Thus, I decided to stay beneath the Wang Family Residence, restraining all of my energy, and wait for Master to come back.”

Little Nightmare didn’t say what happened after that, as there was no need.

Once it was done, Wang Chong was both moved and ashamed.

Little Nightmare’s loyalty to him was unquestionable. Alas, it would take a long time for it to recover its strength.

“Little Nightmare, thank you,” Wang Chong sincerely said to the soul in his hand. “Don’t worry. No matter what, I’ll help you recover.”

After a moment’s pause, Wang Chong asked, “Right, you recognize Heaven?”

Wang Chong recalled the immense hatred Little Nightmare had unleashed before its self-detonation.

“Yes, he’s the chief culprit behind Little Grass’s murder!” Little Nightmare said, making no effort to conceal its hatred for Heaven. “Even if another several thousand years passed, even if I became ash, I would never forget his aura!”

“Little Grass?”

Wang Chong’s eyes widened. This was not the first time he had heard the Nightmare Beast mention this name.
