Chapter 420 Giving Chase (2/2)

The Proponents of Deep Sleep had been in charge of the Door to Dreaht that soe the outnumbered, was unheard of They had a reputation to protect with the other factions, and if they stepped back in front of a single cultivator, there was no saying how er factions would find the courage to try to snatch this blessed sanctuary away from them

Daniel's unreasonable behaviour was a threat to what they had, and a threat to their business, so he had to be eliminated

Unfortunately, Daniel's poas beyond what he was showing, and when two of the old man's companions tried to apprehend him with the full extent of their power at the ninetieth phase, they were erased from existence with two simple slashes of Daniel's sword

Shocked by Daniel's power, the old man took a step back, and said, ”Kid, even if you kill us, you won't be able to take the artifact unless you kill everybody within the third layer, and you won't be able to defeat the warriors that are in there You are only causing unnecessary trouble” In his voice, was now a hint of fear

Unfortunately, while a cultivator of the third layer could come down to the second, there was no way for a warrior of the second layer to enter the third, and sound the alarest defense that a layer possessed, were the cultivators which belonged to that layer Hence why this old ressiveness the moment he had learned that he was no match for Daniel, and had started to use threats

At the sa hiht away, and let the cultivators within the third layer deal with hier than he was, and the conflict had evolved to a point where blood had been shed So now, fighting was the only choice

-----

Ever since the Mindhive had heard about what had happened on the first layer, he had felt a deep feeling of uneasiness

Contrary to Daniel, his lack of control over the artifact which is system had created, had left the nature of the object shrouded in ht that only the owner of the mental system could move undisturbed within the layers of the Dream Domain, and that nobody else would ever be able to reach the core, no matter who tried That hy he had stored his real body in it The body which contained his system, as well as the core of consciousness that kept him alive

Noever, he had learned that the talented cultivator whoht would, at best, be able to reach the fourth or fifth layer, was in fact recognized by the artifact the same way he was

To thethat somebody else was in possession of the key that opened the chest in which he had left his most precious treasure, and that person, was hours ahead of hi it

Not in the iven to him by the first layer's point of contact with the Proponents of Deep Sleep, he immediately moved deeper into the second layer However, while he was hoping to find these two invaders, what he saw after reaching the second layer, was nothing

The very camp that had been created by the mental warriors had disappeared completely, and the area had becoifted the artifact to the Proponents of Deep Sleep The only trace left, were the dying wisps of consciousness of around two hundred mental warriors, which had been destroyed

”What happened here?! Where are the er, after getting a hold of a consciousness in particular

The consciousnesses had already been drifting within the space for a few hours, and had been absorbed by the artifact to a point where speaking was i the Mindhive's efforts vain

No one was more aware of the decomposition of a consciousness ithin the artifact, than the Mindhive After all, when he had received it, the object was not different from a multi-layered pocket dimension, and had been nurtured by the MIndhive himself, who had kidnapped and forced then the artifact's power

Hours had passed since the fight had taken place, and that one The lack of cultivators was also a sign that the power shown by the tas enough to convince thewith the ones who tried to fight them

The Dream domain was made of only five layers and a hidden core However, the Mindhive was very aware that no one but hi the fourth layer So, the only thing that separated Aeron fro the core, were the people within the third layer, and the feeble defenses he had left around the core

Ti out, so he did not waste any h the second threshold

Once through, he found hiround that completely opposed the scenery of the second layer

Many flashes of different shades of green were appearing and disappearing froht and white-colored one which appeared to be capable to face all of the green ones at the sahts were emitted by the few dozens of mental warriors who cultivated in the third layer, while the white colored flash was, of course, Daniel

Of Aeron, was not trace whatsoever
