Like the Blood Phantom, the Mirror Nightmare is a combined-stage monster.
Below the realm of integration, as long as you enter the mirror nightmare, you will turn into a mirror slave, without any resistance.
After Chen Hao entered the Mirror Nightmare, the reason why he did not turn into a Mirror Slave was because his real realm was higher than that of the Mirror Nightmare, and the Mirror Nightmare could not assimilate him.
When encountering a being at a higher level than himself, Mirror Nightmare should have run away immediately, but Chen Hao's cultivation was not good enough. He was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, which gave Mirror Nightmare an opportunity to take advantage of.
Therefore, the mirror nightmare continued to affect Chen Hao, making him feel forgotten.
The main reason is to forget the weirdness of Mirror Village and believe the nonsense of Zhang Wenyu and others who are mirror slaves.
But Chen Hao's level is too high. Even if he doesn't realize this, he just forgets some insignificant things.
So Zhang Wenyu took advantage of Chen Hao's curiosity about the mirror body and led Chen Hao to the ancestral hall to witness the process of people and demons changing the mirror body.
The essence of this is that the Mirror Nightmare is deepening its influence, using its innate abilities, and doing its best to make Chen Hao gradually forget about himself.
Finally, after the mirror body appeared, the influence of the mirror nightmare reached its maximum, making Chen Hao forget his own realm, and his physical body developed a strong desire to change the mirror body.
However, due to Chen Hao's state, he finally became alert and used the blood phantom's ability to transform into a pure spiritual body.
Even Mirror Nightmare cannot break the blood phantom's ability.
It can feel that Chen Hao is in its body, but cannot find it, so it manifests itself on the surface as Zhang Wenyu and others searching like crazy.
Although Chen Hao is at an extremely high level, he has no mental strength or means, so naturally he cannot get out of Mirror Nightmare's body.
Chen Hao returned to the ancestral hall to look for flaws in Mirror Nightmare.
Mirror Nightmare couldn't see it, but as a weird creature in the Fusion stage, he could vaguely sense the danger, so he used his natural abilities to make Chen Hao forget.
Chen Hao was indeed affected, but it was only an effect. As long as he stayed away from Mirror Nightmare's Mirror God pattern, he would return to normal.
Immediately, Chen Hao protected his mind from the erosion of the Mirror Nightmare, and finally found the record about the Mirror Nightmare from Tian Chenzi's memory.
Tianchenzi himself had never encountered a mirror nightmare, but when communicating with colleagues, someone had encountered it, so he recorded it.
Because the Mirror Nightmare has no physical relationship, it is not a power-type monster, but is similar to the Blood Phantom. It uses spiritual enchantment and realm to suppress and devour other living beings.
When encountering monks or demons below the integration stage, it can directly seduce them, and then the other party will be deceived and then devour and assimilate them.
When encountering a powerful existence above the integration stage, Mirror Nightmare will weigh its own strength. If it feels that it is invincible, it will not provoke it. It has no entity and its realm is extremely high, so very few monks and other monsters can hurt it.
Not to mention annihilation.
Until I met Chen Hao.
Mirror Nightmare has never encountered Chen Hao's situation before. His own realm is extremely high, but his cultivation level is far from enough.
This resulted in it being unable to assimilate Chen Hao, but at the same time it felt that Chen Hao's real power was very weak and was unwilling to give up.
As long as you are careful and use the right method, you can eat this big fish.
For demons, it is possible for them to advance by devouring powerful creatures.
Unfortunately, Mirror Nightmare still overestimated himself and underestimated Chen Hao.
In other words, Chen Hao's realm was underestimated.
While it was trying to assimilate Chen Hao, Chen Hao also noticed it, and the realm counter-suppressed it. The Mirror Nightmare was instantly counterattacked and directly disintegrated.
To use a simple analogy, it is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Before it can swallow the elephant, it bursts.
"In the end, we still have to rely on the realm and the ability of the blood phantom to win..." Chen Hao thought to himself.
If he were an ordinary monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he would have become a mirror slave long ago, and his life would be worse than death.
Even if the cultivation level increases by two levels and breaks through the void refining, the result will be the same.
As long as the realm is not as good as Mirror Nightmare, the result will be an instant kill, there is no middle way.
From the southern mountain range, it is indeed full of dangers. When we reach the depths of the mountain range, only the monks in the integration stage can barely protect themselves.
In other words, ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul people would not be able to get through here at all, and might be forced to go down the mountain before encountering the strange shadow.
The reason why Chen Hao was able to make it all the way here was because his own strength had very little effect and all he relied on was the ability of the Blood Phantom.
Refining Blood Phantom's inner elixir and gaining its abilities was truly one of the right things to do.
"Continuing up the mountain?
Or just return?"
Chen Hao took the inner elixir of Mirror Nightmare and looked up at the mountain, a little hesitant.
The purpose of his coming from the Nanshan Mountains was to explore the Zinan Mountains and test an idea.
After seeing the strange environmental changes in the Southern Mountains, and experiencing strange shadows and mirror nightmares, my idea has been verified.
The Zinan Mountain Range is even more majestic and dangerous than the Northern Territory.
It’s time to go down the mountain at this time.
If he continues to go up the mountain, even with the ability of the Blood Phantom, Chen Hao cannot guarantee that he will not encounter a crisis.
After all, the weird shadows and mirror nightmares caused him huge trouble.
Blood Phantom's ability does not completely get rid of them.
Higher up in the mountains, there will only be existences more terrifying than strange shadows and mirror nightmares.
But just going down the mountain, Chen Hao still had some unfinished ideas.
He always felt that there were still real opportunities that he had yet to get in the Nanshan Mountains.
And he had only verified his idea, but he had not yet seen the core of the Zinan Mountains.
Or rather, some kind of truth.
It was just like when he saw the Red Light Tribulation after traveling more than a billion miles into the Northern Territory.
The Red Light Catastrophe, in a sense, can be seen as the limit of the Northern Territory and the source of terror.
So if the Zinan Mountain Range exists like the Northern Territory, what are its limits?
Where is the source?
If this question is not clear, Chen Hao will feel itchy.
At this moment, it was as if he had gone deep into the Northern Territory for the first time and faintly seen the red light of the Great Tribulation. He could only see a faint red line and knew nothing else.
The second time he went deep into the Northern Territory, Chen Hao entered the Red Light Tribulation alone, and only then did he understand part of the truth and essence of the Tribulation.
The same is true now when facing the Zinan Mountains.
Chen Hao hesitated for a long time and then made a decision.
Continue upward.
However, in order to increase the power of self-protection, before continuing to go up the mountain, Chen Hao decided to refine the inner elixir of Shadow Weird and Mirror Nightmare first, and then obtain the two weird abilities.
Although Shadow Weirdness and Mirror Nightmare are not as good as Blood Phantom, they are also very special weirdness. Obtaining their abilities will not increase your cultivation level, but your strength will be further increased.
Especially the Mirror Nightmare, which has no real body and can transform into anything. This ability, even compared to the ability of the Blood Phantom, is only one step behind.
Of course, no matter how perfect the method is, the ability obtained from the inner elixir will definitely be weaker than the ability of the weird body. Chen Hao is not sure how much he can obtain.
All we can do is talk about human affairs and obey fate.
If the acquired abilities were all weak and useless, Chen Hao would not insist on going his own way.
