Suddenly, feeling a sense of crisis, Huan Ling subconsciously opened his eyes, and then he saw a black shadow coming towards him.

He grinned, and his right arm instantly turned into the Ice Dragon King Claw. This is a god-level soul bone, and soul skill, and of course the most powerful attack. Except that it consumes more soul power, its power is not weaker than the Dragon God Claw used by the Beast God Di Tian!
After forcing the old demon back, another old demon appeared behind Huanling. A huge force came and he was hit and flew away.

At this moment, there were bursts of tingling pain in the body. When Huanling looked down, he saw small holes in the places where he was hit, and blood was faintly flowing out. The tingling sensation turned into a burning sensation the next moment.

"Young man, you are alert and strong, but we are immortal. Your soul power is not enough!"

"Enjoy this neurotoxin. Don't try to treat it or use your soul power to resist it. It's useless. You will recover naturally after two hours of pain. Well, let me see you in pain. I haven't felt so happy in a long time."

Huan Ling sat down cross-legged with an expressionless face, and used his mental power to instantly suppress the mental toxin. His mental power was at the peak of the spiritual realm, so how could he be afraid of mental toxins?
"Don't use mental force to suppress it!"

The nightmare demon attacked again and injected mental toxins into Phantom Spirit once again. Phantom Spirit took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the ground with an expressionless face, and endured the pain.

About an hour later, a voice of praise sounded, "Not bad, you haven't fainted in an hour. Your endurance is quite good. In view of your excellent performance, this first test is considered to have passed."

The Nightmare Demon reappeared in everyone's sight, holding a small jar in his hand. He walked in front of Huanling and handed the jar to Huanling, "Every failure makes you wiser. I don't need to teach you how to do it. This is the antidote. Apply it directly to the wound."

Huan Ling smiled and asked, "If you don't wipe it, did you help?"

The Nightmare Demon curled his lips and said, "If you don't wipe it, they will."

Huan Ling nodded, "Then give it to them. The good things should be left to them."

The Nightmare Demon immediately opened the jar in a rage and poured the water directly at the Phantom Spirit. The Phantom Spirit did not dodge and just sat cross-legged on the ground.

Inside a cave.

The nightmare demon emerged from the illusion. There were two huge crystal balls in the cave, each with a diameter of one meter. There were flickering lights and shadows inside. Isn’t this exactly the situation of Phantom Spirit and his companions at this moment?

The old demon of destruction stood in front of the crystal ball, "Tsk tsk" sounded, "Cruel, you are really too cruel, didn't you agree to be gentle? Why are you so cruel right from the start? What if they can't bear it and collapse? Then we will have no fun, right?"

The Nightmare Demon said unhappily, "Don't give me that. You don't know how excited I am. Don't I know you? We have to adjust the difficulty according to different situations. These little guys can enter the valley by their own strength. Their physical endurance is quite good. Let's gradually find their limits. However, their collectiveness is quite high."

The old demon of destruction chuckled, "It was clearly one hour, but you insisted on saying it was two hours. What medicine did you just give them?"

The Nightmare Demon also smiled, his smile full of viciousness: "You will know soon."

"What about the phantom spirit?" a voice sounded, and everyone fell silent. Why does this kid seem more difficult to deal with than Lan Muzi?

"Let him experience it all, and then send him away. There are still six people left, enough for us to torture."

"This is the only way." After a while, the Nightmare Demon prepared two portions of food and gave them to Huan Ling, Tang Wulin and the other six people respectively.

"Not bad, better than expected. You must be hungry. Let's eat something." The nightmare devil walked out of nothingness again, holding a big food box in his hand. He walked in front of the phantom and opened the food box. There were eight layers of food inside, all of which were various delicacies and fruits.

The nightmare devil naturally placed the food in front of the phantom, then smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation, turned around and disappeared.

Huan Ling smiled as he picked up the food and put it into his mouth piece by piece. Although he would feel uncomfortable after eating it, he had to admit that these things were indeed rich in vitality and could be considered a great tonic.

When night fell, a light yellow mist slowly came towards Huanling. Not only from the front, but also from all directions. Tang Wulin and his six companions also encountered the same situation.

The Nightmare Demon's exasperated voice sounded, "Boy, can't you just cooperate?"

Huan Ling said calmly: "You will know everything you need to know from Tang Wulin."

Huan Ling said coldly: "I would like to remind you not to use illusions on me. Although they are all fake, they are still disgusting."

"Hehehe, then we have to give it a try."

"what--"

After the yellow fog dissipated, a scream was heard, and the phantom spirit just sat there quietly without moving.

Not long after, the nightmare demon slowly emerged in front of him, sighed, and said: "You must be curious about why we torture you like this, right?"

Huan Ling raised his eyebrows and looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Actually, everything is much more complicated than you think. First of all, I want to tell you that I am already 1,764 years old."

The Nightmare Demon said, "Do you think I want to be so old? I don't want to either, but I can't help it. It's not easy for me to die. To be precise, I am not a human. I am a ghost on the Devil Island. This island originally ceased to exist. It only appeared because of the arrival of the devil. At that time, there were not so many sea soul beasts in this sea area."

"The devil is the purple-red light you see. The piece on Devil Island is the largest piece of debris. We call it the Devil Fragment, also known as the Destruction Fragment."

"There is a piece of debris on each island in the Devil's Islands. When the debris fell into the sea, I happened to be fishing here with a few friends. We are just ordinary people who just want to support our families."

"That terrifying force tore our fishing boat apart, and also tore our bodies apart. I was in a daze, and I don't know how long it was before I suddenly realized that I was alive again."

"From that time on, I became a nightmare, a half-human, half-ghost. We are part of this place, but we cannot leave it. And then we live our lonely life like this."
