Douluo's Black Tower

Chapter 168 168. Nightmare
In the darkness, a tall figure wrapped in black cloth walked slowly on the messy streets. He was cautious and tiptoeing, as if he was afraid of disturbing something scary.

The once bustling streets are now completely abandoned and dilapidated. There is even a thick layer of dust on the ground, and there is no trace of human footstep.

The gorgeous buildings of the past have now collapsed to the ground, with broken glass and ruins scattered everywhere, and no one cares.

No more hustle and bustle of traffic, no more bustling crowds, only dead silence.

Walking among these ruins, it feels like you have traveled to a forgotten era, feeling lonely, helpless, and panicked.

The store's facade was in tatters, and the few signboards visible to the naked eye were all pitch black. Only some of the broken characters could be seen clearly, and they were crumbling.

The wind blew, raising a cloud of dust.

Once-beautiful parks and gardens were not spared their fate.The flowers, plants and trees on the lawn have long since withered and withered, leaving only dead branches and leaves that are about to turn into dust.

There is no life in this city!
The tall figure advanced quietly, and finally arrived at the center of the city. He saw a heavy city gate and looked up.

"Xingluo Palace?!!!"

...

In Emperor Xingluo's palace, Zhou Ting suddenly woke up from a large bed that was more than six meters wide and could sleep four or five people.

Like a fake corpse, he sat up straight, shocked, and his mouth was dry.

He...had a nightmare again!
"What a horrible nightmare!"

Although Zhou Ting only saw a dilapidated imperial capital in his dream, he didn't see anything else...such as monsters.

But just looking at the tall figure's cautious look and listening to his violently beating heartbeat, Zhou Ting felt an unparalleled tension and panic.

Climbing up from the empty big bed, Zhou Ting felt empty in his heart. He had really failed as an emperor, and he didn't even have anyone to sleep with.

Quickly getting out of bed, he held the water bottle and filled it.

"Gudong Gudong Gudong..."

After moisturizing his dry and burning throat, Zhou Ting regained consciousness completely. He sat by the window and looked out the window. The moon was dark and the wind was high. With lingering fears in his heart, he felt extremely depressed.

"It's not right!"

Since returning to the Star Luo Imperial Capital, Zhou Ting has had nightmares every night with similar contents.

It was as if I was possessed by that tall figure, using his perspective to observe different cities, but they were all cities that had experienced catastrophes and turned into ruins.

There is Wuhun City, Tiandou City... and this time, Star Luo Imperial Capital.

Zhou Ting once wondered if someone was secretly plotting against him.

However, no matter whether he used the Pure World White Lotus to purify or even hid in the black tower, it was of no avail.

Zhou Ting lay back on the bed, his whole body turned into a big character.

"Ah, I feel so empty!"

"It would be nice to have a soft and fragrant 'cushion' at this time!"

"It's no problem to sleep five people in such a big bed. Why don't any of them agree?"

In fact, it wasn't that everyone refused. When he talked during the day, Zhu Zhuqing showed obvious signs of loosening up. Unfortunately, Xiao Wu disturbed the situation and forcibly pulled several little sisters away, saying that they would sleep together at night!

Really are…

"Tomorrow, I must..."

...

Time soon came to the next day. Zhou Ting called Yu Xiaogang, Xue Beng, Ju Douluo, and a few others, which I won’t mention for now.

This was Zhou Ting's idea last night. Since he couldn't solve the nightmare problem, he asked others to help.

Otherwise, his role as puppet emperor would be in vain.

Therefore, students who are thinking wrongly should face the wall consciously. He, Zhou Ting, is a young man of the fourth generation in the new era. He is single and has never even touched a girl's hand a few times. How could he have such dirty thoughts of plotting against women?

"...That's what it is!"

After listening to Zhou Ting's nightmare description, Yu Xiaogang was thoughtful. Once might be a coincidence, twice might be a coincidence, but three or four times...

There is definitely something wrong with this!

"Your body?"

Zhou Ting smiled bitterly. "I've checked it myself, and even the Consciousness Sea has carefully checked it, and there's nothing wrong with it!"

Yu Xiaogang frowned and fell into deep thought.

Ju Douluo suddenly stepped forward, and the Wuhun QiRongTianJu suddenly appeared, floating above Zhou Ting's head, scattering many pale golden chrysanthemums, and blending into Zhou Ting's body.

Zhou Ting only felt a warmth in his body, and then Ju Douluo took back his martial spirit.

He shook his head helplessly, walked back to his seat and sat down with a frown on his face.

It was obvious that he was at his wits end.

Zhou Ting was helpless.

Now, both Yu Xiaogang and Ju Douluo are helpless against the nightmare, and he can only hope for an avalanche.

After all, behind him was an unknown creature, an old monster that had lived for who knows how many years.

As Zhou Ting wished, Xue Beng stepped forward, staring at his forehead with golden light in his pupils.

Suddenly, the golden light dissipated, Xue Beng was stunned for a second, and then his eyes turned into black and white Tai Chi, spinning endlessly.

It's... for real!

Zhou Ting looked at Xue Beng nervously, filled with anticipation.

The next second, Xue Beng suddenly stretched out a hand and waved his fingers gently in the air. A black and white light shot out from his hand and hit Zhou Ting's forehead directly.

Zhou Ting was stunned.

"I'm just asking you to see a doctor, not asking you to attack me!"

Zhou Ting only felt a powerful force pouring into his body. His body was instantly inflated like a balloon by this force, and his whole body was about to be torn apart.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang and Ju Douluo immediately stepped forward to stop the avalanche, but their actions were still a step too slow, and they could only watch helplessly as Zhou Ting was swollen by the force of the avalanche.

However, at the moment when Zhou Ting was about to explode, a mysterious symbol suddenly appeared on his forehead. It was an ancient rune, and it seemed to be a text that no one could understand.

As soon as this symbol appeared, Zhou Ting's body immediately stopped expanding, and instead began to slowly shrink, and finally...returned to its original shape.

Zhou Ting touched his burning eyebrows and felt heavy. He looked at Xue Beng angrily and asked.

"What did you do?"

"Humph…"

Two lines of bloody tears fell from the corners of Xue Beng's eyes. He took a step back and said with some pain.

"Destiny, time, space, evil, ice, fire..."

"I saw a variety of abnormal auras in your martial spirit, including righteous gods and evil gods!"

Xue Beng looked at Zhou Ting with an expression that had never been more serious.

"Your martial soul is changing, an unknown change, perhaps fusion or mutation. In short, whether it is a blessing or a curse, I can't tell the specific situation!"

"In addition, your nightmare should be caused by the mutual repulsion and collision of multiple forces. Maybe it's just a nightmare, or maybe... it's the future!"

Zhou Ting touched the strange runes on his forehead and asked curiously.

"Then what does it do?"

"Ahem, this rune is actually a magic circle, a sealing magic circle. It can temporarily isolate these forces from interfering with you!"

After Xue Beng finished speaking, he coughed violently again.

Although the person in Xue Beng's body is a monster, he became like this because of himself, Zhou Ting said with some embarrassed concern.

"Are you OK?"

Xue Beng straightened up and waved his hands.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this body is completely useless. I still underestimated them!"

The next moment, he stood up straight and announced with a serious face.

"I must return to the Ice and Fire Eyes immediately, and a new body will come to take over tomorrow!"

After saying this, Xue Beng flew directly out of the palace.
