Chapter 115. A Divine Contract Holder Who Walked Out of the Slaughter Dream Valley

“This is the phenomenon that only appears after comprehending the power of Laws. Who exactly is this person?!”

The members of the various great families all stood up, staring at Sleep God in the void with eyes full of disbelief.

At Jiang Zhentian’s birthday banquet, they had personally seen the white strands winding around him after he comprehended the power of Laws.

But that had only happened after breaking past the Martial God Realm and attaining the state recorded in the Institute’s documents as a Demigod.

According to Spark Team’s records, Sleep God was only a Sixth Realm Great Grandmaster at most.

Could it be that comprehending Laws did not actually require one to break through to the Martial God Realm?

“Go investigate him at once! Find out where this man comes from!”

Disbelief rose in Shen Qingyue’s eyes as she gazed at Sleep God in midair, seized by a sense of her own insignificance.

“No wonder even I found it difficult to suppress his dream last time,” Chu Ningfeng said with a frown, astonishment in his voice.

Tang Wuji, however, slowly turned the thumb ring on his finger, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

“I was not completely certain before, but now I finally am,” he thought to himself, as though he already knew something about Sleep God.

Su Zhan looked at the three of them. “You knew about this already?”

Chu Ningfeng nodded. “The last time, we were curious and went to visit Spark Team’s training base. We happened to run into him while he was asleep…”

As Su Zhan listened, Sleep God’s power began to feel strangely familiar, as though he had heard of something like it somewhere before, yet he could not remember where.

He shook his head and sighed. “He is anything but ordinary.”

Everyone was marveling at the fact that Sleep God had comprehended Laws without even reaching the Martial God Realm. Only Jiang Dongnian and Zhou Mingyuan wore blank, vacant expressions.

They had lost. Their plan had failed completely.

In the spectator stands, Jiang Feng sat frozen in place, staring at Sleep God in the air without saying a word.

He could not understand it. Ever since childhood, he had worked hard at everything. Whether it was cultivation or the family business, he had always been the one who studied the most diligently and trained the hardest.

So why was it that Jiang Yichen, whose talent was inferior to his, who had not worked as hard as he had, who had wasted four years over a woman and then spent every day slacking off…

Why could he still beat him? What right did he have to beat him?

I have worked a hundred times harder than he has. I laid my plans so carefully for so long. Why should I lose?

Jiang Feng slowly clenched his fists. His eyes reddened, and his face was filled with unwillingness.

But Sleep God, now wielding the power of Laws, was no longer something Yanhuang Team could possibly face.

They were not even qualified to stand before him.

Jiang Feng slowly lowered his head and bit his lip until blood seeped out.

“Man, you won!”

After throwing out that single sentence, he stood up and staggered away.

When Jiang Yichen heard that, he turned his head and watched Jiang Feng leave the spectator stands.

He shook his head helplessly and did not bother with him. Ever since Jiang Yichen had become the heir, this younger cousin had been competing with him, demanding that he absolutely had to win.

How could a brainless domineering CEO type ever allow himself to lose?

Jiang Yichen sighed, then looked up at Sleep God, surrounded by Laws, a surprise flickering in his eyes.

Without reaching the Martial God Realm, he had still comprehended Laws.

Other than himself, who had his cheat-like advantage, Sleep God could do that too?

Jiang Yichen found himself growing more and more curious about what Sleep God had gone through in the past.

“I should find a chance to ask him properly.”

On the arena floor—

“My God! The power of Laws!” Tang Long blurted out, his face full of utter shock.

Su Linyu and Chu Xingchen were also stunned for a moment. They had known Sleep God was strong, but they had never imagined that once asleep, he would become this terrifying.

After the Jiang family birthday banquet, they had already gained some understanding that one had to comprehend Laws in order to go beyond the Martial God Realm.

But Sleep God had not even reached the Martial God Realm, so how had he also comprehended Laws?

“What exactly are Laws?” Lei Zhen asked, thoroughly confused.

Tang Long looked utterly drained. “That is something you only get after breaking beyond the Martial God Realm. I never imagined Sleep God would be this powerful.”

Lei Zhen’s eyes widened in shock as he looked toward Sleep God in the air.

At that moment, Sleep God no longer carried his usual sloppy appearance. Instead, he wore an elegant set of ancient robes in a dreamy shade of blue, refined and strikingly handsome.

But in those eyes, there was a hint of violent slaughter.

“Together!”

As the Yanhuang Team looked at the sleeping Sleep God, they did not feel the slightest fear.

That was because, with their status, they had never had any access to knowledge about Laws beyond the Martial God Realm.

The ignorant knew no fear.

Jiang Feng removed his magician’s hat, and an illusory magic stage rose in the void as several white doves circled through the air.

Leng Zhenghan kicked up his frost spear, drawing all the snow and ice from the sky into it, causing the spear to grow larger and larger in an instant until it blotted out the sky itself.

“Wood Prison!”

Zhou Yue spread out her wood domain, and using the ground as its support, vines grew at an astonishing speed, weaving a cage around Sleep God.

Zhang Wei entered his shadow state and moved in for a sneak attack from behind.

Lu Shen launched himself forward in an explosive burst, relying on sheer force as he shot toward Sleep God in midair like a missile.

Sleep God watched it all without the slightest hint of panic in his eyes.

The moment he raised his hand, the power of Laws around him slowly gathered.

“As I awaken to all the worlds, I see that all things are but a dream.”

Sleep God pointed a finger, and every attack from the Yanhuang Team vanished like an illusion.

“All dharmas are but transformations of illusion.”

Once again, Sleep God recited the incantation of the Grand Dream Scripture. The moment the words fell, every attack the Yanhuang Team had just unleashed reappeared.

Only this time, they were being wielded by Sleep God.

“All conditioned things are impermanent. They are laws of arising and passing away. When arising and passing away are extinguished, serene extinction is bliss!”

With a casual wave of his hand, attacks a hundred times more powerful than those of Yanhuang Team surged back toward them in a murderous onslaught.

Jiang Feng and the others’ eyes widened at once. Just as they were about to flash away and dodge, their consciousness seemed to fall into the abyss of a dream, leaving them incapable of making any rational judgment.

In fact, almost everyone in the entire arena, except those at the Martial God Realm, fell into a dream.

“This is bad! Something is going to happen!”

Chu Ningfeng was the first to charge out of the VIP section. Releasing the pressure of the Martial God Realm, he forcibly dispersed all of Sleep God’s attacks.

Tang Wuji and Su Zhan followed right behind him. Looking at the audience below, all of whom had fallen into dreams, they both frowned slightly.

“Spark Team has already won the match. Why go so far as to kill?” Chu Ningfeng said coldly.

The attack Sleep God had just launched would absolutely have left nothing of the Yanhuang Team behind.

The Dream-Entering Stone on Sleep God’s wrist flashed with blue light, and within those eyes filled with slaughter, a trace of clarity emerged.

“I do not know. I did not want to kill anyone. I did not want to kill anyone. I really did not mean to.”

It was as though Sleep God had seen something, and tears slowly began to well up in his eyes.

He descended onto the arena, dropped to his knees, and knocked his forehead toward something in front of him. “Father, Mother, I did not want to kill anyone. I really did not mean to!”

What Sleep God saw in his eyes was the very same chamber of preserved heads that Shen Qingyue and the other two had seen before, its shelves lined with the heads of people he had once known well.

Unaffected by the dream, Jiang Yichen directly used spatial traversal to appear in front of Sleep God.

He grabbed Sleep God by both shoulders. “Sleep God, what is wrong with you?”

Sleep God slowly raised his tear-streaked face and looked at him. “Boss, I did not want to kill anyone. I only wanted to sleep properly, just once, like an ordinary person.”

Jiang Yichen froze, confusion rising in his heart. Then Tang Wuji suddenly appeared behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

He immediately turned his head to look, only to see Tang Wuji smiling.

“Yichen, I need to take him away. This is my father-in-law’s… no, the Commander-in-Chief of Huaxia’s order.”

Jiang Yichen frowned and said coldly, “Why?”

Tang Wuji was silent for a moment. Looking at the resolute expression in Jiang Yichen’s eyes, he sighed and explained, “He is a Divine Contract Holder who walked out of the Slaughter Dream Valley Ruins.”

A Divine Contract Holder?

Jiang Yichen froze.
