Little Nightmare

A creature that possesses powerful psychic energy. It did not create illusions, but dreams. Additionally, its lifespan is far greater than a human's. It can easily live for thousands of years. As a strange beast that was born with the ability to control Psychic Energy, the Nightmare Beast had reached a level of Psychic Energy that no human could ever even imagine, much less reach.

Men were different from beasts. Under normal circumstances, a human would never be able to get stronger than a tiger or elephant. In terms of Psychic Energy, the same could be said for the Nightmare Beast. The Nightmare Beast was a monster naturally attuned to Psychic Energy, and its body was constructed differently from humans. Thus, it could reach a level of Psychic Energy that even the strongest human martial artist could only dream about.

He is the new beast of Wang Chong. He was the one behind the illusion during Wang Chong's "wedding" (wherein 'Xu Qiqin' tried to kill him). But Wang Chong was able to disperse and defeat him. Based on the memories the Wang Chong absorbed, he discovered that Little Nightmare has an extremely close connection with the legendary Yellow Emperor. It won't be until Little Nightmare sees that he held his former master's sword did he realize that the person he gave a bad illusion to was his destined master after the Yellow Emperor.

What followed were countless fragmentary memories of the Nightmare Beast’s millennia-long imprisonment in the pit. No one could endure such a long period alone—not humans, and not Nightmare Beasts. Over the thousands of years, it had been expectant, furious, and in pain, and it had thought many times about leaving.

But each time, it fell back before that familiar seal at the top of the pit.

These memories of darkness lasted until that person made their way down the pit.

“The person you are waiting for will appear after eight hundred years! If you protect this place for me, I promise that you will meet the person you are waiting for. This is our promise…” A deep, warm, and soothing voice came out of the darkness.

The Nightmare Beast calmed down and returned to its endless wait.

That swamp of the ancient era had become the place where the Yellow Emperor had sealed the Nightmare Beast, but the Origin Immortal Lord had still managed to find it and make the place his own, the Nightmare Beast becoming his guardian beast. With the passing of time and the shifting of continents, the swamp had long ago become mountains and deserts, but the Nightmare Beast continued to wait.

Perhaps because of its relationship to the Yellow Emperor, Wang Chong felt some sympathy for the Nightmare Beast.

Although it had had its physical body destroyed by Wang Chong, ever since it learned that Wang Chong was the inheritor of the Origin Immortal Sword—or the Xuanyuan Sword, to be more precise—it had become utterly devoted to him, even willing to give up its life.

Wang Chong and **Little Nightmare** destroyed Genesis Supreme's soul, allowing Little Nightmare to possess his body and wield the power of a Peak Grotto Realm powerhouse. To save Wang Chang he decided to detonate this body.

During that incident in the capital at the third lunar eclipse, Little Nightmare had detonated its body to help Wang Chong escape, leaving it with only a wisp of a soul. But after three years, with the help of the Foundation Dimension, Little Nightmare had been restored. Not only that, it had been able to use this rare moment of peace to grow even stronger, not just in Psychic Energy, but also in obtaining a perfect physical body.

## Abilities

The Nightmare Beast could capture humans and make them kill each other while at the same time draining their Psychic Energy. This was a most terrifying and extremely wicked act. In the Battle of Zhuolu, the Nightmare Beast had used this ability to great effect, but in helping the Yellow Emperor defeat the forces of Chiyou, it earned the fear of the Yellow Emperor’s subjects. In the end, in order to protect its life, the Yellow Emperor was forced to dig out a hole and seal it within. This sort of conduct was in clear violation of major taboos.

As a member of the powerful Nightmare Beast species, it had talents and abilities that humans could never imagine. For example, it could absorb the soul energy of humans, take control of their minds, or even alter their memories. Little Nightmare also had abilities to treat and heal the souls of humans.
