Hall Master Nightmare
Hall Master Nightmare is Black Fiend Hall's Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation leader and the chief source of its terrifying reach. His power and loyalty both depend on the ancient Nightmare Hall inheritance.
Biography
Inherited power ends with an inherited command
Nightmare is introduced through Black Fiend Hall's structure: he inherits the special treasure that helps him reach the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm, binding him by immense karma to the faction. He attacks Master Poison Eye with the inheritance's Power of Nightmare, leaving an injury even Realm Ancestor cannot remove. During later faction conflicts, his numerous Essence Soul avatars let Black Fiend Hall compete for resources without exposing a unique outer-realm body. The story ends his institutional role abruptly when Black Fiend Progenitor's voice orders Nightmare and Lord of Li Rainbow to disband Black Fiend Hall; they cannot resist their founder's authority. (Chapters 708, 714–717, 738, and 766)
Appearance and personality
No reliable physical description is supplied. His loyalty is explicitly karmic as well as institutional; motives beyond maintaining Black Fiend Hall are not developed. (Chapters 708 and 766)
Abilities and cultivation
He is an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence with many avatars and access to Power of Nightmare, a strange corruption that permeates an Essence Soul. A protected homeworld keeps Poison Eye alive, and Meng later expels the power after reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm. (Chapters 712, 717, 738, and 753)
