Chapter 1431: Chapter 1293: The Highest Bloodline of the Nightmare Demon! Chapter 1431: Chapter 1293: The Highest Bloodline of the Nightmare Demon! âWhite Three, stop!â Chu Mu issued a command to White Three, who had transformed into a Black Nightmare Demon, using his mental sound.
The Black Nightmare Demon looked exactly like Chu Mu, and its restless eyes finally began to rotate after hearing Chu Muâs command.
Sweeping its gaze around, the Black Nightmare Demon spotted Chu Mu standing amidst the black flames.
As if recognizing the presence of a supreme and inviolable king, the Black Nightmare Demon immediately suppressed all the evil and violent energy within it and let out a cry.
At that moment, the black flames gradually dissipated, and at the same time, the terrible evil aura that had enveloped Wanxiang City also began to fade away.
The Black Nightmare Demon stood within its icy restraints, looking innocently at Chu Mu with its eyes.
After the demon flames dispersed, the Old Man of Cloud Gate let out a huge sigh of relief.
The power of the Black Nightmare Demon was frightful. Had it not been for the Elderâs timely intervention, Wanxiang City would have been destroyed completely.
Fortunately, Bai Yu, who had trained in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, noticed this fellow undergoing a mutation in time and had scrambled the people of the Nightmare Demon Palace, otherwise the black flame storm caused by the Black Nightmare Demon could have wiped out countless lives in an instant!
âThank goodness, this guy really does listen to you,â the Old Man of Cloud Gate commented with a dark expression.
The Old Man had thought that guarding New Moon Land would be an easy task, yet he never imagined that New Moon Land was filled with terrifying things, and this sudden rampage of the Black Nightmare Demon had almost cost him his life.
âIt has changed color,â the Old Man of Cloud Gate observed.
Looking over, Chu Mu indeed saw that the blackness of the Black Nightmare Demon was slowly fading, gradually turning back into its original silver.
After White Three reverted to the Silver Demon Flame, its malevolent nature became noticeably calmer, and one could feel White Threeâs gaze regaining some semblance of rationality.
Only after White Three had returned to silver did the Old Man of Cloud Gate dare to release the Ice Seal.
âZzz~~~~~~~~â
White Three, still looking innocent, let out a whine and carefully floated behind Chu Mu, like a child who had done something wrong, pitifully hanging its head low.
The transformation from Black Nightmare Demon back to White Nightmare Demon left Chu Mu himself astonished, unsure how to explain this phenomenon for the moment.
âWhat happened to it?â Chu Mu inquired of the Old Man of Cloud Gate.
âHow should I know!â the Cloud Gate Old Man replied irritably.
The Elder, his beard scorched, was covered in soot and clearly in a very foul mood.
âItâs the Nightmare Demon Evil Temple. When I was training in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm, I came across an Evil Temple that seems to have been constructed by the Nightmare Demon Raceâs civilization, hiding an extremely strong evil force. Feeing the intense evil aura, I didnât dare to explore it. Upon my return, I found your subordinate had barged into the Evil Temple and somehow gained a power that turned its demon flames black,â Bai Yu explained.
Bai Yu had only discovered the Evil Temple last year.
Having been in closed-door cultivation in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm for many years, Bai Yu had always feared the Evil Temple. Unknowingly, the audacious White Three had breached its confinesâŠ
Bai Yu had known White Three for some time now, and this White Nightmare Demon was considered to be one of the extremely powerful beings within the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm. Bai Yu had heard from others that this was one of Chu Muâs subordinates after undergoing demonization.
âRace mutation. This guy inherently possesses mutated bloodlines, and the catalyzation from the Evil Templeâs evil strength led to this White Nightmare Demon entering a fluctuating stage of race mutation,â said the Old Man of Cloud Gate, sitting on the staircase and panting.
âItâs really a race mutation? But the Black Nightmare DemonâŠâ Chu Mu said.
âItâs normal. The highest innate bloodline of the Nightmare Demon Race is actually not the White Nightmare Demon or the Silver Nightmare Demon, but the Black Nightmare Demon. This White Nightmare Demon must have been cultivated with some special Spiritual Rhyme Aura, triggering its mutated bloodline. Once a mutated bloodline is activated, the odds are actually quite low, but it entered a Slightly Evil place, gained strength heritage, and advanced its mutation,â the Old Man of Cloud Gate explained.
âIf it were simply a mutation, that would be fine. Mutations donât cause changes in mentality; itâs just that this guy is stuck between mutating and not mutating, hence the wavering between Black Nightmare Demon and Silver Nightmare Demon!â
What the Old Man of Cloud Gate referred to as Silver Nightmare Demon was actually the White Nightmare Demon; upon reaching the Dominator Level, the White Nightmare Demon was then termed the Silver Nightmare Demon, as its flames turned silver.
âWhatâs going on; a mutation is just a mutation, why would there be a wavering state?â Chu Mu remained puzzled.
âThe issue is its level; the Black Nightmare Demonâs level is too high. It originated as a White Nightmare Demon with the species ranking of a Monarch level, and although it has now reached Dominator level, transitioning from a Silver Nightmare Demon to a Black Nightmare Demon is a very unnatural race mutation. Every time it transforms into a Black Nightmare Demon, it is essentially burning its own lifespan. If it doesnât successfully transform into a Black Nightmare Demon completely, its lifespan will run out. To be responsible, I must say this mutation is too forced, itâs practically a form of slow suicide,â the Old Man of Cloud Gate said.
Chu Muâs heart sank. If White Three could successfully mutate into the highest Nightmare Demon bloodline, the Black Nightmare Demon, it would undoubtedly be a good thing, for White Three, no matter what it became, ultimately obeyed him. The problem was that it was stuck in a state of half mutationâŠ
âIs there any way to solve it?â Chu Mu asked immediately.
âNo, itâs doomed,â the Old Man of Cloud Gate replied irritably.
This Black Nightmare Demon was giving the Old Man quite a headache.
It had been many years since a Black Nightmare Demon had appeared in the human world, and the overall strength of New Moon Land was so weak. If a Black Nightmare Demon emerged, it wouldnât be much different from the ancient Jiao people awakening prematurely; it would be a disaster of Dark Demon Flame. And so, the Old Man of Cloud Gate felt it was best to deal with this abnormal creature sooner rather than later, to prevent any disaster.
Chu Mu gave a wry smile. He could see that the Old Man of Cloud Gate meant to kill White Three while it was still a White Nightmare Demon, to prevent it from losing its sanity the next time it transformed into a Black Nightmare Demon.
White Three had been with him for a long time and was practically his half Soul Pet. How could Chu Mu bring himself to do it?
âMaster Li, donât you have any ideas?â Chu Mu called out to the Space Ring.
âYoung Master, am I not thinking?â Master Li jumped out with a worried frown on his face.
White Threeâs current mutation was indeed troublesome.
âYoung Master, I think this might have something to do with the special girl you met before,â Master Li said.
âDo you mean Ning Manâer?â Chu Mu asked.
âYeah, it should be her. A creatureâs species is constrained by nature. If it could break your Soul Petâs limitations, then it could certainly trigger some hidden mutated bloodlines in some creatures. Didnât that old man just say that the White Nightmare Demon must have previously been nurtured by a certain kind of Spiritual Rhyme Aura?â Master Li stated.
With that explanation, Chu Mu had some enlightenment.
White Three and Ning Manâer had the closest relationship; Ning Manâer would definitely take special care of White Three. It was indeed possible that Ning Manâer had intensified White Threeâs mutated bloodline.
âOf course, having bloodline alone isnât enough. In fact, many Soul Pets intrinsically have mutated bloodlines, but they never actually mutate. But this guy actually ran into the Evil Temple. Bai Yu said that the power inside the Evil Temple was too great for him to explore, which proves that the likely result for most White Nightmare Demons entering the Evil Temple is annihilation. Unfortunately, this guy possesses a mutated bloodline. After withstanding that force, a highly improbable race mutation became a possibilityâŠâ
âThere are several types of mutated bloodlines. The first type is a weak mutation, where creatures with a mutated bloodline have a very small chance of mutating and are always in a latent state. The second type is a strong mutation, where creatures with this bloodline will invariably undergo a race mutation when in dire need of strength in the futureâas long as they donât die, of course. However, we wonât discuss creatures like Little Fox; itâs difficult to say where that little guy sprang up from.â
âIn short, this White Nightmare Demon has a weak mutation bloodline. Itâs a huge stretch for it to attempt to reach the Black Nightmare Demon level. Perhaps life evolves through a one-in-a-billion chance of mutation, but in the history of evolution, there are bound to be countless failures. Those who succeed in mutating become eternal myths and legends, while those who fail are swallowed by history and fade into oblivionâŠâ
Master Liâs words touched upon the overall fate of Soul Pets.
Indeed, this mutation of White Three could potentially make it the supreme king of the Nightmare Demon Race. More likely, though, it would be annihilated in the process of its transformationâŠ
Thinking of this, Chu Muâs mood grew heavier.
Chu Mu actually knew White Threeâs temperament well; unlike the capricious creature that was the Nightmare Demon Ruler, White Three was a very diligent White Nightmare Demon.
Especially after suffering a nearly instant defeat by Zheng Wu, White Three had been practicing without rest, all to make itself stronger.
So many years had passed, and the fact that Ning Manâer had been taken away was something that White Three could not let go of. Its frenzied cultivation had allowed it to surpass most of its kin and become the strongest in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm. If it dared to enter the Evil Temple, it must have felt not strong enough and wished to obtain more absolute powerâŠ
White Threeâs actions were indeed radical, and its possession by the Black Nightmare Demon meant that it was not far from death. But how could Chu Mu not feel regret for a Soul Pet so determined to grow stronger if it were to die on the path of cultivation?
The ladder of the strong ones was built on sacrifices.
Looking at White Three standing obediently beside him, Chu Mu felt a tinge of bitterness in his heart.
âYoung Master, if you leave it here in the Nightmare Demon Sacred Realm or in Wanxiang City, there will definitely be chaos. Also, during this period of unstable mutation, imprisoning it will only provoke its rage. I reckon nothing in New Moon Land could completely restrain it.â
âFortunately, it subconsciously follows your commands when it turns into a Black Nightmare Demon. Young Master, you can actually bring it with you on the Wupan Journey. If you find that special girl before its life is exhausted, there might be salvation. Since she could stimulate its weak mutated bloodline, perhaps with her presence, the White Nightmare Demon could successfully mutate into a Black Nightmare Demon,â Master Li said.
