Chapter 603: Joy Turns to Grief
In the eyes of all the spectators outside.
The entire secret battlefield was now shrouded in a misty haze.
Ling Zhan, Li Sheng, Otto, Kuklaite, and the others were all engulfed by the haze, leaving those outside clueless about what was happening inside.
But one thing was clear...
David's "A Thousand Autumns, One Dream" had indeed succeeded.
Anyone bold enough to come watch at Underworld God's Island had some degree of insight.
And even if David, as a Saint of the Night's Whisper, was known for his low profile, his fame still preceded him.
Naturally, everyone had heard about this trump card of his.
Because of this.
Many spectators' expressions turned grim.
"A Thousand Autumns, One Dream! I didn't think David would actually pull it off! And the key is, Ling Zhan's also caught in it!"
"Hmm... I reckon they've all entered a dream realm by now, and with David being its master, it feels like Ling Zhan is facing certain doom!"
"Why do you say that? With Ling Zhan's strength, even if it's tough, shouldn't he still be able to hold his own in the dream realm?"
Seeing someone still unclear about the true weight of David's SS-level skill.
An informed viewer quickly explained:
"Since you're asking, it shows you don't really understand just how terrifying David's SS-level skill is!"
"This skill doesn't measure your level or power; it tests the resilience of your core spirit!"
"And even if your core spirit is incredibly tough, within the dream realm, David essentially becomes its sovereign! His core spirit has a massive advantage there!"
"In this scenario, coupled with Li Sheng, Otto, and the others ganging up on Ling Zhan, it's really hard for him to gain any upper hand!"
"Back then, David managed to kill a level 80 powerhouse while he was only level 40 because of this very skill! His core spirit was tougher than that of the level 80 opponent, which allowed him to succeed in an over-tier kill!"
After the explanation from the knowledgeable one.
Hiss!
Many couldn't help but gasp!
My goodness!
Now it makes sense why so many people are worried about Ling Zhan!
Turns out, in the dream realm, your real-world level and power mean nothing!
Under these circumstances, Ling Zhan really doesn't have any significant advantage!
He might even suffer severe damage to his core spirit from being outnumbered.
The core spirit is the most crucial thing for a professional.
If it gets damaged, level loss is a certainty, and worse yet, you might never be able to progress in level again, becoming a true cripple!
And if your core spirit dissipates, you die outright, and not even a fourth-tier priest could bring you back!
Therefore...
It seems Ling Zhan is truly caught in a tough battle!!
"It's over! What now?! Are they really going to succeed? Are we going to lose a future peerless powerhouse?!"
"There's nothing we can do. Who could have known David's skill was this domineering! I thought Ling Zhan would have some way to evade it, but it seems he couldn't..."
"All we can do is hope he hangs on in the dream realm. After all, the dream realm doesn't last very long, maybe ten minutes or so. If he endures that, it'll shatter automatically."
"Pray he endures! Victory for our coalition forces is just within reach!"
It wasn't just the spectators who were anxious.
At this moment, the legion commanders from each country were also staring gravely at the secret battlefield, now covered in a misty haze.
Just as the knowledgeable viewers had said.
In the real world, Ling Zhan could easily crush Li Sheng and the others.
But in the dream realm, it was uncertain.
There was a high chance of his ending in failure.
On the other hand, the fourth-tier powerhouses from the evil organizations had gone from a cloudy gloom to faint smiles.
"In the crucial moment, it's our Night's Whisper that delivered!"
"The rest of you, your saints and saintesses are too weak. You should consider a full re-evaluation!"
Saint Moon Goddess Tarina spoke coldly.
While she added a feather to her organization's cap, she did not forget to criticize the others.
"Enough already! Our saints and saintesses have gone through countless rounds of selection!"
"They've crawled out from piles of corpses."
"If even that's not enough, then tell me, what should we do?!"
The pig-headed Herman from the Demon Arrival Organization sneered.
"It's just that Ling Zhan is too monstrous, surpassing others effortlessly. Now that he's been dragged into the dream realm, caught in an outnumbered situation, I think his death is certain."
"So we have nothing to worry about. After all, Ling Zhan is an anomaly. Once he's dead, there's nothing more to fear."
Deputy Chief Jiang Huo of the Demon Arrival calmly added.
Hearing this.
The others fell silent.
Clearly, they agreed with Jiang Huo's assessment.
That kid...
If not for David's dream realm, he really would have stomped the faces of the entire evil coalition in front of a global audience!
The prestige they'd worked so hard to build globally would take a major hit.
Andrea frowned slightly.
That can't be right...
She had just decided to kidnap this young man as her partner, and now he might die in a dream realm?
But for some reason, she felt he wouldn't die.
Hmm...
Not just "might not."
Definitely wouldn't!!
She didn't believe it. This freak who had faced her, a hundred-level powerhouse, head-on while only in his twenties, would die in David's dream realm.
"Enough talk, let me do a divination!"
"You all speculate, but my reading will be far more accurate than your guesses!"
The old Taoist priest, Jin Yuchun, chuckled.
He took out an ancient copper coin.
With his right hand, he made a quick gesture and then threw the coin into the air.
Several ancient inscriptions on the coin leapt out, finally forming four large golden words before them.
[Joy Turns to Grief]
Hmm?!
What the hell?!
Upon seeing those four golden words, the previously smiling crowd went stiff!
"Joy Turns to Grief!"
This...
"Old man! Does your fortune-telling work or not? What kind of nonsense is 'Joy Turns to Grief'?!"
"Are you cursing us?!"
At this moment.
The pig-headed Herman couldn't help but curse.
Clearly.
The rest were also staring at the four golden words with uncertainty.
Could it be...
David and the others were going to be counter-killed?!
