I will burn books and slay gods.

At this moment, a solid mass resembling an insect cocoon quietly appeared before the three of them.

It was dark red, but not the color of fresh blood; it looked more like bruising.

It looked exactly like that dark red that had accumulated under the skin for several days, turning black and brown, with an ominous sweet and fishy smell.

The surface of the cocoon is not smooth, but undulating with indescribable patterns, like solidified blood vessels, or like the twisted incantations in some ancient forbidden book.

When light passes over it, it reflects a greasy, visceral-like sheen.

Listen carefully, and you can hear extremely slow wriggling sounds inside the cocoon, sticky and heavy, like something turning over in a deep swamp.

The cocoon involuntarily released a slightly overly sweet, rotten smell, not from flowers, but from the fermented sweetness of overripe fruit that was about to rot.

If you listen carefully, you can occasionally hear a very slight pulsation inside the cocoon.

It was as if what was wrapped inside was not a newborn life, but a strange creature struggling violently, eager to break out of its shell.

The three of them only dared to observe from a distance. The outer shell of the cocoon appeared to have hardened, with a texture like stone.

The exposed horns and dark red patterns wrapped around the cocoon hinted at an ominous sign.

Just then, the cocoon made a slight cracking sound.

In an instant, the oval cocoon in front of me was covered with countless cracks, and the strange creature inside was trying to break out of the shell.

Seeing the slight change in the cocoon, the three of them simultaneously retreated to avoid any unforeseen circumstances that might arise and prevent them from reacting in time.

Just as Chen Ye and the other two had retreated to a distance from the cocoon, they heard a slight cracking sound from the cocoon.

Until the cracks begin to spread irregularly and cover the entire cocoon.

In that instant, before the three of them could take any protective measures, the cocoon burst open silently.

Fragments of the cocoon broke apart and flew everywhere.

The fragment vanished into black smoke after hitting the ground, leaving nothing behind.

Chen Ye and the other two, who had been affected by the cocoon explosion, turned around and fanned the gray surroundings with their hands.

After the dust settled, the complete appearance of the monster inside the cocoon was finally revealed to Chen Ye and the other two. However, upon seeing the creature's appearance, none of the three were not shocked, and some were even somewhat fearful.

He even clenched his fists, trying to suppress his panic and relax.

At this moment, what stood before them was a monster that was neither human nor human.

Its entire body is silver-white, and in addition to its original two arms, it has eight black tentacles resembling octopuses swimming behind it.

At this moment, his body was as tall as two adults, and Huo Lie's eyes were fixed on Chen Ye and the other two.

"I! I've finally been resurrected!"

His voice was deep, yet it was filled with wild, excited laughter.

At this moment, Chen Ye looked at the monster in front of him, at Huo Lie's irritating laughter, and at the words he said.

Chen Ye had already realized that the owner of this body was no longer Huo Lie, but another person, or a monster.

Just then, the monster began to introduce itself to Chen Ye, "Excuse me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am a Nightmare Beast from the Sea of ​​Wraiths."

"Perhaps our name has already disappeared into the traces of history."

"But since our great 'Mother' created us, we still have the idea of ​​'saving this world'."

"Enough with the pleasantries. Now that I've finished introducing you, the three of you, prepare to face your deaths!"

As the Nightmare Beast finished speaking, its eyes suddenly sharpened, and it slowly moved its body.

Chen Ye and his two companions immediately prepared to fight back. It would be a lie to say that they weren't afraid. The oppressive aura emanating from the Nightmare Beast in front of them prevented them from knowing its true strength.

Although Chen Ye is only one step away from the Ignition Realm, he has yet to overcome this bottleneck.

In an instant, before Chen Ye could react, he found that the light in front of him was blocked. When Chen Ye slowly raised his head, he was surprised to find that the Nightmare Beast had already come to his side.

Before Chen Ye could retaliate, the moment this idea was triggered, Wang Xiaoming, who was to Chen Ye's right, was already embedded in the outer wall of the Mo family mansion without even knowing what was happening.

As soon as Chen Ye turned around, Lin Su disappeared from his sight in an instant. By the time he could see Lin Su clearly, she had already smashed open the gate of the Mo family mansion, shattering it to pieces!

Chen Ye immediately resumed searching for the Nightmare Beast's tracks. Before Chen Ye could come to his senses again, the Nightmare Beast appeared in front of him and brought Huo Lie's head close to Chen Ye's face.

Are you looking for me?

"Little baby."

Upon encountering the Nightmare Beast, Chen Ye was momentarily stunned and involuntarily retreated several meters.

Even his breathing became rapid, making it difficult for Chen Ye to recover for a long time. As Chen Ye looked back at the spot where he had retreated, the Nightmare Beast had disappeared again.

Just as Chen Ye was searching for the Nightmare Beast again, he heard Lin Su's voice behind him, where Lin Su was.

"You monster, let go of me!"

Lin Su suffered multiple fractures and breaks after crashing into the gate of the Mo residence, making it difficult for her to even lift her arm.

In Chen Ye's eyes, the Nightmare Beast used its claws to grab Lin Su's head and lift her up.

"Let her go, you piece of trash!"

"Come and find me if you dare!"

Chen Ye roared fiercely at the Nightmare Beast.

After Chen Ye shouted, his words reached the Nightmare Beast's ears. Suddenly, the Nightmare Beast's head rotated 180 degrees backward, and its eyes stared directly at Chen Ye.

The Nightmare Beast even let out a laugh as it looked at its prey.

"Fine, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. It won't be in vain that you've poured your heart and soul into this."

Then, Lin Su, who had been grabbed by the Nightmare Beast, was thrown aside again like a discarded object.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Ye clenched his fists even tighter, and his eyes blazed with fury!

At this moment, seeing Chen Ye so angry, the Nightmare Beast actually laughed again.

"I love your fierce determination!"

"My hands are itching to get started."

"How I long to see you beg for mercy."

The Nightmare Beast provoked again.

"Oh dear, your hands are clenched so tightly, doesn't it hurt?"

"Do you want to slap your son in the face?"

"Come on, Daddy..."

"Poor silly boy..."
