Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

Dark, deep, after being swallowed by the space crack, Lin Yi felt that the space around him began to twist violently and became chaotic and disordered.

As Lin Yi passed through a layer of water curtain as black as ink, dim light gradually emerged from the front.

Lin Yi found that the air here was indescribably turbid, as if every inch was filled with a rotten smell, which was disgusting.

Wisps of black air lingered around Lin Yi, as if they wanted to invade Lin Yi's body, but were then swallowed by the abyss power in Lin Yi's body.

The moonlight was reflected from above, and a bloody full moon hung in the sky. Around this bloody moon, it seemed that sticky blood was oozing out and dripping down.

Looking around, the earth was gray and black, and the roots of the trees were intertwined, forming a strange landform.

Being in the shadow kingdom, Lin Yi felt as if he had entered a deep ink painting.

As far as his sight could reach, it was covered with black and white, just like the tones of traditional Chinese ink paintings, simple and profound.

The surrounding environment, trees, and land were all rendered into a deep black and white. Only the blood-red full moon in the sky, like a bright color in a painting, strangely illuminated this silent world.

Lin Yi was in a grove at the moment. This grove was like a scene in an ink painting. The branches were crisscrossed like brushstrokes, outlining a unique picture.

When he was about to leave the grove, Lin Yi reached out and touched the tree in front of him out of curiosity.

The texture of this tree was completely different from that of real trees. It was not a rough bark, but as smooth as fine silk. This strange feeling made Lin Yi rub it a few more times.

Although the general structure of the tree remained stable, the subtle structures were constantly changing.

Lin Yi observed carefully and found that every detail on the tree was constantly changing, like a shadow swaying in the wind. Every time he changed an angle, he could see a new scene.

Lin Yi poked the trunk hard, and unexpectedly, the trunk sank under his force, like a soft jelly.

This feeling reminded Lin Yi of the pig skin jelly he loved to eat when he was a child. The soft and elastic taste was similar to the touch of this tree.

The sound of gently tapping the trunk was completely different from the dull sound of wood.

On the contrary, it made a clacking sound, which echoed in the quiet grove, adding a bit of weird atmosphere.

Lin Yi looked around and found that not only the trees, but also the stones on the ground were made of that strange jelly material.

All this seemed to indicate that all the materials in the shadow plane were formed by this jelly similar to shadow.

Walking out of the grove, an elegant and ancient ink painting slowly unfolded in front of Lin Yi.

The scattered ancient Japanese-style buildings are dotted in every corner of the Shadow Kingdom. These houses exude the charm of history, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding black and white ink tones.

What surprised Lin Yi the most was that these buildings were actually rich in colors, which were completely different from everything he had encountered in the Shadow Kingdom before.

These colors were particularly eye-catching in the gray Shadow Kingdom.

Lin Yi walked to an abandoned house and began to check, and found that these houses were made of normal stones and wood, not the gelatinous materials he had encountered before.

Just as Lin Yi was about to investigate, suddenly, a wolf howl broke the silence and reached his ears.

Lin Yi looked up and saw that not far ahead, dense running and roaring sounds continued to come.

A large group of shadow wolves with dark skin and blood veins all over their bodies were rushing towards the area where he was.

Lin Yi glanced at the wolves rushing towards him, and the number was astonishing.

As far as his eyes could see, there were at least tens of thousands of shadow wolves. If surrounded by these wolves, even an iron man would be exhausted.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi turned around and hid in the nearest building.

Just as Lin Yi hid in the abandoned building, waiting for the wolf pack to pass, thousands of shadow shurikens appeared out of thin air in the wolf pack, sweeping like a storm.

These shurikens were extremely sharp and instantly penetrated the bodies of hundreds of shadow wolves, causing the wolf pack's charge to stop abruptly.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Black Shadow Corps emerged densely in the building complex.

The most important thing is that this time, not only the ninja soldiers summoned by the Holy Lord appeared here, but also the soldiers of the other major regiments gathered together.

After seeing the shadow wolves, several soldiers of the Mantis Corps could not help but roar. They were agile and jumped into the wolf pack with a big jump.

The fighting style of these soldiers is extremely unique. They use their special arms to attack like mantises.

In the wolf pack, the soldiers of the Mantis Corps began their battlefield windmill, spinning at high speed, their arms as sharp as blades, tearing the approaching wolves into pieces on the spot.

The soldiers of other regiments were not to be outdone, and they rushed to attack the wolves.

As the wolves were torn apart, the colors of the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps seemed to become deeper, from light black to dark black.

The color of the wolf bodies on the ground gradually faded and soon disappeared.

After absorbing the power of the wolves, the expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps became more vivid.

Lin Yi could clearly observe that the soldiers who absorbed the wolf corpses showed reluctance on their faces.

The richness of this expression made them look more like flesh-and-blood people, rather than simple fighting machines.

At this moment, a ninja soldier seemed to have undergone some kind of promotion ceremony, and his aura suddenly changed, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers of the surrounding regiments.

The next second, the soldiers of these regiments looked at the soldier with envy.

They knew that this soldier would no longer belong to the soldiers of the nine major regiments, but would become the guards of Tara.

The guards soldiers were the honor that only the best in the shadow army could enjoy.

The guards would enjoy more shadow power, which made them closer to real living people in all aspects.

A minute later, several soldiers with obviously darker clothes and colors appeared on the battlefield, and they walked up to the soldier who had just been promoted.

After careful confirmation, the guards confirmed that the soldier had reached the threshold of the guards.

So, the leader of the Royal Guards threw a token to the soldier, officially promoting him to a member of the Royal Guards.

Just as the leader of the Royal Guards was about to leave, several of the soldiers seemed to suddenly sense something.

They turned their eyes to the room where Lin Yi was, as if they could see everything inside through the wall.

Almost in an instant, these Royal Guards sneaked into the shadows under their feet and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Yi turned his head and saw several Royal Guards standing behind Lin Yi and looking at him.

Seeing Lin Yi's gaze, these Royal Guards immediately knelt on one knee to show their respect for Lin Yi.

Their movements were uniform, and they were obviously elite warriors who had undergone rigorous training.

After checking the attributes of the soldiers of the Royal Guards Shadow Corps, Lin Yi found that this is a typical assassin with high attack and low defense.

These soldiers are undoubtedly good at infiltration and exploration or assassination missions.

However, these soldiers may not perform well in one-on-one head-on battles.

If the enemy cannot be quickly eliminated in a short period of time, the weakness of the low physical strength and low defense of the Black Shadow Corps soldiers will gradually be exposed as time goes by.

Because the physical strength of the Black Shadow Corps is too low, the "fragile" characteristics make it difficult for them to withstand too many attacks. You must know that the people standing in front of Lin Yi are members of the Royal Guards. Even the attributes of these soldiers are not very high. You can imagine how low the attributes of ordinary Black Shadow Corps soldiers are.

However, although the individual combat power of the Black Shadow Corps is average, it cannot withstand the large number of Black Shadow Corps.

Under the strict protection of several Royal Guards, Lin Yi walked out of the abandoned building calmly.

As soon as he appeared, the surrounding Black Shadow Corps soldiers knelt on one knee to show respect.

"Take me to Tara's palace." Lin Yi issued an order to the Black Shadow Corps soldiers beside him.

After hearing this, several Royal Guards immediately nodded and agreed, and then quickly dived into the shadows.

The next second, eight ninja soldiers appeared in front of Lin Yi carrying a huge and magnificent chair.

One of the guards signaled Lin Yi to take a seat.

"Interesting, old Tara actually knows how to enjoy himself." Lin Yi sighed as he sat on the seat.

It can be seen that these soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps have been carefully trained by Tara, and every action is very professional.

Of course, Lin Yi would not refuse this opportunity and experience this extraordinary treatment.

A few minutes later, the ninja soldiers of the Black Shadow Corps were carrying seats and shuttling quickly in the Shadow Kingdom.

In Lin Yi's eyes, the speed of these ninja soldiers is almost comparable to that of ordinary high-speed trains.

During the process of moving forward, the eight ninja soldiers moved in unison, as if they were a whole, so that Lin Yi did not feel any bumps.

This made Lin Yi's riding experience very comfortable, as if he was in a moving fortress.

After all, the environment in the shadow plane is relatively simple, without so many messy objects in the normal world.

Therefore, the ninja soldiers do not need to worry about stepping on stones or other obstacles when they are on the road here.

A few minutes later, the ninja soldiers stopped, and Lin Yi looked up, and a magnificent ancient Japanese palace complex came into view.

The walls of the palace are carved with various patterns.

Cherry blossoms danced, dragons and phoenixes flew in the clouds, and ghosts and gods looked hideous, and every place was full of artistic atmosphere.

The eaves of the palace were designed to be light and elegant, and they were raised high, like a phoenix flapping its wings to fly.

Lin Yi looked around and finally found Tara's head on the gate of the palace.

Although the head was a bit abstract, after careful observation, Tara's appearance could still be recognized.

After bringing Lin Yi to Tara's palace, several ninja soldiers carefully put the chair down from their shoulders, their movements were very steady.

"Okay, you guys leave here first, I'll summon you if I need you."

Hearing Lin Yi's order, the ninja soldiers nodded, then sank into the shadows, and disappeared without a trace.

The reason why Lin Yi did not lead this group of ninja soldiers into Tara's palace was because Lin Yi could sense that there was obviously the breath of other creatures in Tara's palace, and it would be too conspicuous if he brought these ninja soldiers in.

Lin Yi put on Amon's monocle to cover the breath of life on his body, and then covered his whole body with the power of shadow.

After entering the palace, Lin Yi found that the walls inside the palace were full of patrolling ninja soldiers.

These ninja soldiers are not only members of the Royal Guards, but also cover other legions, including the flying shadow of the Night Bat Corps, the giant shadow of the Troll Corps, the helmet shadow of the Samurai Corps, and the clamp shadow of the hunting clamp Corps.

These soldiers patrolled the walls of the palace non-stop. For shadow creatures, they could not feel hunger and fatigue. The only thing they needed to consume was the power of shadow.

The soldiers patrolling here were all elite soldiers from various legions.

Their only mission was to do their best to guard the general's palace and ensure the safety of the palace.

"Damn, how long will it take us to leave this ghost place."

Just as Lin Yi continued to go deeper, a man's voice suddenly came into Lin Yi's ears.

You should know that Lin Yi had never heard other creatures speak except the howling of wolves along the way.

Lin Yi followed the sound to the vicinity of a palace, gently pried open the window bolt, and flipped into the palace as agilely as a civet cat. The whole process did not attract the slightest notice of the patrolling soldiers outside.

After entering the palace, Lin Yi's sight fell on several colorful beings in the center of the palace, which formed a sharp contrast with the gray tones of the shadow kingdom.

Lin Yi recognized that these people were the ghost generals under Tara.

Under normal circumstances, the ghost generals would be sealed in the ghost mask.

However, because the Lord changed the history of the Book of Time, the Eight Demons were not sealed.

If the Eight Demons were not sealed, Tara and his ghost generals would have no chance to rule Japan. They could only stay on the ground of the Shadow Kingdom.

As for launching the Ultimate Darkness, please, do you think the Eight Demons are vegetarians?

Not to mention that the Eight Demons now rule an area of ​​the earth, any root demon can get rid of Tara and his men.

Don't look at the plot. The Eight Demons seem to be easily sealed by the Dragon Group. That is completely assisted by the white gas. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the Eight Demons would not be so easily sealed.

If it was really that simple, the Eight Demons would not have ruled the world for such a long time.

"Okay, don't say it. General Tara said that the black gas between heaven and earth has been unbalanced recently. It is said that a root demon has temporarily returned to the origin, which has also caused its territory to be vacant now." Samo's face was full of beard, and there was a hint of excitement on his green face. He told the news he had heard.

After hearing that they could leave the Shadow Kingdom soon, several ghost generals showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

The ghost generals were happy, Lin Yi was now a Muggle.

You know, the task given to him by the Samsara Paradise was to find the Tara Mask in the Shadow Kingdom.

But now due to the butterfly effect, the Black Shadow Corps did not appear in Japan at all, and all the ghost generals were not sealed by the mask.

At this moment, Lin Yi's mission target suddenly disappeared.

"Damn!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but curse inwardly, and then walked out of the shadow of the palace.

Since there was no mission target for the time being, Lin Yi was ready to start a killing spree to make up for his current losses.

"Who is it?" Several ghost generals looked up and saw Lin Yi, and immediately realized that he was not a shadow creature, but a living person from the real world.

"It turned out to be just a human wizard, come, kill him for me."

After seeing Lin Yi's appearance, Bart immediately lost interest.

For thousands of years, human wizards have occasionally broken into the Shadow Kingdom, and several ghost generals have become accustomed to it.

What the shadow creatures need is the power of shadow, and they have no interest in a flesh and blood body like Lin Yi.

As Bart's voice fell, the soldiers of the Night Bat Corps suddenly appeared in the palace from the shadows.

However, these soldiers of the Night Bat Corps did not attack Lin Yi, but knelt on one knee in front of Lin Yi.

"What are you doing?" Bart roared angrily.

Seeing his men kneeling to a human Lin Yi, Bart's yellow face rarely showed a red of shame and anger.

You know, in this occasion where many ghost generals gathered, as undead creatures, what they value most is their dignity and face.

Ghost generals usually care about the team spirit of sharing honor. Once a soldier who can be promoted to the Royal Guard appears in a certain legion, or someone's men perform well, this is the pride of the entire legion.

And now, Bart's men knelt to a human Lin Yi, which undoubtedly trampled Bart's face hard.

As expected, several other ghost generals witnessed this scene of Bart's men, and a disdainful sneer quickly passed across their faces.
