This Spiritual Energy is Lethal!
Chapter 439 Mrs. Qiong

Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Mrs. Qiong

Chen Ke had never experienced anything like this before—the Great Void, time travel, and now the Divine’s Dream. What on earth was going on in this world?

He looked at Maria and asked, "What happens if I go in?"

Maria shook her head gently and replied, "You will fall into her nightmare. In that subjective world, you will experience everything she has experienced, endure all she has... unless you can ultimately hunt her down; otherwise, you will never wake up. Just like... Baron Mox."

Chen Ke looked toward Baron Mox. So, the guy hadn’t died; he was merely asleep.

Had he accidentally touched her while switching blood vials for his wife, and then got pulled into Lady Katherine’s dream?

"What if I kill her in the dream? Will she die?" Chen Ke asked.

"Usually, she would wake up. But if... Lady Katherine has infused too much blood, she might pass away along with the dream," Maria said, shaking her head.

Chen Ke’s hand trembled slightly. His index fingertip was only two centimeters away from Katherine’s neck, and he suddenly hesitated.

"This blood... what exactly is it...?" Chen Ke asked.

"I knew it, you’re not a Secret Keeper. Tell me, Mr. Ludwig, where do you come from?" Maria said.

"I come from afar, Lady Maria, a place much further than what you are aware of," Chen Ke withdrew his hand, undecided about whether to enter Katherine’s nightmare.

"You’re not one of those who craves Divine Blood, and you don’t seem to recognize Dean William. I’m curious, what is it that you want?" Maria asked.

"I want to take back what’s mine, nothing more. I’m not interested in your Divine Blood," Chen Ke said.

He was still hiding a vial in his arms. Although he wasn’t clear about the specific use of the Divine Blood, from the current situation, it didn’t seem good.

If the blood that the Secret Keeper dripped on the weapons and the blood that Katherine infused were the same, then obviously this blood was nothing more than a 19th-century thing used to combat spiritual monsters, with extremely severe side effects.

In 2009, the Administration Bureau had more convenient and safer technologies to replace it, let alone the Foundation in 2137.

And since this 19th century was an established history of mankind, it was certain that the governments of various countries were also clear about the existence of Divine Blood. As for why it was not used in later generations, there must be reasons.

"Your thing? Is it that whole set of embarrassing clothes?" Maria asked with a light smile.

Chen Ke was taken aback. From Maria’s eyes, he saw that she knew the Holy Diamonds could be transformed into equipment.

"You... can see them?" Chen Ke asked.

"I can see their appearance, Mr. Ludwig, but I cannot use them. It seems you are also a peculiar person," Maria said indifferently.

"Lady Maria..." Chen Ke did not know how to continue.

"I’m curious, Mr. Ludwig, I don’t feel a resonance with you, but I’m sure that a great bloodline flows in you. Do you come from another branch of the Blood Clan?" Maria slowly approached Chen Ke.

Chen Ke took a half step back, not understanding what Maria meant, but he vaguely guessed that Maria must have infused blood too, and probably a significant amount.

Perhaps, after getting a transfusion, they could obtain powers similar to those of a Spiritual Ability User? However, regarding the fact that they couldn’t use the Holy Relics, Chen Ke still couldn’t find an explanation.

"I hope your clan has not been found by the Secret Keepers, Mr. Ludwig. Do what you must, and then tell me Florence’s last words," Maria said coldly, turning her back.

Chen Ke sighed softly, turned to look at Katherine, who lay on the bed, sound asleep. He didn’t think any further, reached out to grab the Holy Diamond necklace around Katherine’s neck, and yanked it off in a single motion.

At that instant, Katherine’s eyes, which had been tightly closed, shot open!

Blood-red sclera framed a pair of blue irises. Her left arm, which was exposed, moved and tightly grasped Chen Ke’s wrist.

"Ah!" Chen Ke was startled, only to feel as if he were surrounded by darkness, a strong smell of blood assailing his nostrils. A flash of red light, and he found himself still standing in the bedroom, except it had transformed.

Organs resembling swollen tumors were forming on the floor and walls and kept bulging. Beneath the red halo, everything in the room was so ominous.

There was no sign of Lady Katherine on the bed, only the bedding soiled with dense blood. On the floor were bodies that looked like infants cut down mid-journey, misshapen and lifeless.

At that moment, Chen Ke saw several lines of small text appear in the upper left corner of his field of vision:

Main Subjective World: Katherine’s Nightmare

Curse:

Damage received increased by 400%

All Transcendent Skills’ power -70%

Holy Relics not allowed for use

Buff:

Life countdown paused

Chen Ke took a deep breath, his eyes swiftly darting to the upper right corner of his field of vision, where he came to a halt and silently counted. The normally ticking countdown had indeed stopped moving.

The life countdown had really paused!

He calmed himself, because there were still three extremely lethal DeBuffs above him. His current state meant he had to endure four times the normal damage, and the power of his Transcendent Skills like the Spiritual Power Crystal Gun and the bursts of Spiritual Energy were reduced by 70%.

What was more fatal was that the ash of An Helei had completely ceased to exist.

Chen Ke tried to summon the ashes of An Helei in his right hand, but nothing happened.

What exactly is this Main Subjective World? Chen Ke felt that this place was different from the Great Void, completely different.

At this point, the stone within his heart suddenly transmitted a thought.

"The Divine sleeps/dreams, mismatch with reality."

The stone was a Divine being itself, struggling to communicate with Chen Ke using human vocabulary, except its grasp on grammar was poor, which led to its choice of words forming a somewhat awkward sentence.

Combining Maria’s and the stone’s words, the Main Subjective World was a Divine’s dream?

Katherine was actually a Divine?!

"Negative/not." The stone transmitted another thought.

"Then why can she have dreams only a Divine could have? I get it... the transfusion gave Divine Blood, and while they sleep, are they dreaming with the Divine? The Divine’s dreams can affect and interfere with reality, those who over-transfused, according to Maria, if they are killed in the dream, they will die in reality too..." Chen Ke gathered his thoughts.

Main Subjective Reality, Objective Reality, Fundamental Reality, the Great Void, the Death World, Time Travel... and now, a Main Subjective World arrives.

Chen Ke felt his head swell; how complicated could this world get?

Chen Ke was unarmed, his only means of attack being the Spiritual Power Crystal Gun, now with only 30% of its original power, and his own Fighting Skills. If Katherine truly became something formidable, defeating her would be difficult.

"Katherine! Katherine! My dear... Save me! Katherine!"

At that moment, Chen Ke heard someone’s call for help, accompanied by the sound of banging on a door. He quickly walked to the bedroom door, gently pushed it open, and peered into the hallway.

He saw the Baron Mox lying in front of the hall door, continuously punching the glass of the door and crying out.

This Baron had been sucked into his wife’s dream and must have been trapped for a long time. Like the Great Void, time probably did not pass in this Main Subjective World; otherwise, the Baron Mox would have died of thirst or hunger long ago.

Should he greet the Baron?

Chen Ke narrowed his eyes in hesitation. At that moment, the sound of high heels walking past came from behind him.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Ke swiftly turned around, his right hand flickering with a blue glow as he raised a Soul Gun above his head. He suddenly realized he was no longer in the bedroom, but in the living room. A woman with blonde hair, dressed in an outrageously revealing outfit, had just walked from the right side of the hall into a door.

The clothes she was wearing were those of Mrs. Qiong.

Chen Ke took a deep breath, lowered the Soul Gun, turned his head, and found himself standing exactly where Baron Mox had been pounding on the door. Indeed, it was a dream... everything was so muddled.
