As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1085
Chapter 1085 Illusion
“Kill me. Aren’t you the number one person in the Xiao Clan? In the future, no one will be able to shake the position of the Xiao Clan’s successor, right?”
Xiao Chen looked at her with a faint gaze and continued, “That’s why my father was expelled from the Xiao Clan back then. If I were the head of the Xiao Clan, I wouldn’t let a person without a main bloodline inherit the entire Xiao Clan, would I, Xiao Meng’er?”
“You’re wrong, but since you’ve said so, I want to see where your current cultivation is … draw your sword.”
“Zheng!”
With a flash of cold light, their swords were already facing each other. Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently, “To be able to fuse the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts with the Immortal Sect’s Dao Art so perfectly, Xiao Meng’er, you are the number one person in the entire millennium …”
Xiao Meng’er held onto the whisk in her hand and the lotus platform under her feet as she confronted him out of thin air and said indifferently, “I think Brother Xiao is the only one who can coexist with Dao and Devil for eternity.”
As for the two of them, they had already fought for a few rounds. Xiao Meng’er’s sword was so powerful that Xiao Chen also refused to let them go. In this illusion, the two of them fought heaven and earth. Mountains and rocks collapsed, and every move they made, they spared no effort. They no longer had any scruples when they were outside.
Xiao Meng’er raised her hand, and the wind around her surged. The ferocious palm force instantly arrived, and it was the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial art, the Nine Firmament Clear Falling Palm.
The strength of this palm was extremely strong. Xiao Chen waved his hand, and a layer of sorrow instantly enveloped the heavens and earth. The 33 Leaving Hate Palm was also released in an instant.
“Boom!”
Their palms collided, causing the entire illusion to tremble violently. Several nearby mountain peaks instantly collapsed, and dust flew in large amounts.
The two of them fought like this for a day and night. Each of them used their best moves, but it was still hard to determine the outcome. In the blink of an eye, the two of them didn’t know where they were. However, seeing the beautiful scenery nearby, Xiao Chen said, “Xiao Meng’er, I still have to go to the Profound Realm. After a day of fighting, I won’t accompany you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and a crimson profound light flew out. It was the magic power that the four seniors had given him earlier. It was the magic power of the red-robed old man, and it contained boundless fire power.
“Boom!”
In an instant, flames filled the sky, turning the original Land of Immortal Qi into a terrifying Flame Prison. Xiao Meng’er instantly fell into the sea of flames and immediately protected himself with Lotus Flower. However, at this moment, a cold sword light came from afar. It was Xiao Chen who activated the “Human Sword” in the “Three Talents Sword” and instantly burned 30% of his Genuine energy.
Chi!
With a sharp sound, this sword pierced through Xiao Meng’er’s layers of defense and pierced through her chest. However, in the next moment, she disappeared.
The surroundings became incomparably quiet again. The sea of flames disappeared, and the Immortal Land also disappeared. Xiao Chen turned around and saw that Xiao Meng’er was no longer there.
Could it be that everything that happened just now, including Xiao Meng’er, was just an imagination? But … it was clearly so real.
In that instant, if he had a trace of softness in his heart and was killed by her in the end, what would happen?
“Boom!”
Right at this moment, a shockwave suddenly came from not far away. Xiao Chen turned around and saw a crack in the void more than ten zhang away. It seemed that it was leading to the 75th floor.
…
Unknowingly, more than half a month had passed, and it was already early winter outside, with yellow leaves all over the sky.
Outside Celestial Pogoda, Ling Luan was still standing guard. It had been exactly a month since Xiao Chen entered the tower, and his name had already appeared on the 80th floor.
“There’s only one floor left …”
Many people looked at the Heavenly Polarity Rankings. In the past hundred years, no one’s name had ever appeared on such a high level. The 80th level was truly unimaginable …
But now, what did he encounter?
His name was on the 80th floor. It had been a few days and there was no change at all. When he was on the lower floors, his name often flickered violently, which meant that he was in danger. However, ever since he reached the 80th floor, his name hadn’t moved a single bit. What was going on …
At this moment, many people were whispering. At the beginning, everyone had guessed that he was cultivating Yuan Qi, but so many days had passed. In the Profound Realm of Celestial Pogoda, it only took one day to recover Yuan Qi. Why hadn’t his name changed after so many days?
“What exactly happened to Excellency …”
At this moment, even Zi Yuan frowned. What exactly did Excellency encounter on the 80th floor, and why was he so hesitant?
On the distant Azure Peak, Four Daoists’s eyebrows were tightly locked. They had never been to the eightieth floor, so they naturally did not know what exactly was on the eightieth floor.
However, regardless of what was happening on the 80th floor, the current situation couldn’t be delayed any longer. In the past few days, the commotion on Xuanxiao Palace’s side had become more and more intense.
At this moment, the northern horizon was already enveloped by layers of dark clouds. Behind the dark clouds, there seemed to be a pair of hands that choked everyone in Heavenly Peak City.
On the night of the Blood Moon, this city will definitely be bloodshot. Two days ago, I didn’t know if it was an illusion or something, but I always felt that the crescent moon in the sky was slightly red, like a sharp knife with blood stained on the edge …
…
Within the eightieth level of the Profound Realm, it was like a dream but not a dream. It was also real and illusory. Xiao Chen gradually couldn’t distinguish between reality and reality. Even if he was real or fake, he felt a little blurry.
Everything that he had experienced in the past was like a dream in this illusion. When he woke up, everything was just a dream.
Past, future, dream and reality, dawn and dusk alternate.
Everything was like a dream of flying flowers.
Right at this moment, a dream-like voice sounded in Xiao Chen’s mind, “To be able to reach this level, hehe, you have some abilities …”
“Who? Who’s talking?”
Xiao Chen looked around, but no one was seen. Previously, he had encountered some extremely ferocious exotic beasts on the lower floors. He had also fallen into the 10,000 foot restriction, but in the end, they were all shocking and safe.
But this time, after arriving at the 80th floor, he was helpless, completely at a loss as to where to go. Everything was filled with confusion.
“Keep looking. You can’t see me. What you see in front of you is what you think in your heart” The mysterious voice sounded in his mind once again, carrying traces of strangeness.
“What I see in front of me is what I think in my heart” Xiao Chen looked forward, but it was still pitch-black and boundless.
“If you can’t face the fear in your heart, you’ll never be able to find a way out. You’ll forever be trapped here until your Essence is exhausted and death comes. Hahaha …”
“Essence exhausted … Uh.”
Only now did Xiao Chen realize that the Genuine energy on his body had been quietly flowing away. When Genuine energy dried up, he would become an ordinary mortal and soon die of old age and sickness …
“If you continue forward, you will be able to see … Look carefully, reality, past, future … Hahaha …”
The voice in Xiao Chen’s mind became more and more ethereal. He only felt a little dizzy. Even his consciousness seemed to gradually become blurry at this moment.
As Xiao Chen’s consciousness became more and more blurry, he couldn’t see clearly what he was seeing. When his consciousness became clear again, the scenes before him seemed to have never happened before, but they seemed to be deja vu. They were both real and real, and they were both real and illusory.
“Idiot … you have to protect this world well. Don’t let her shatter again, because my favorite thing is the world …”
“Wei Yang, no … don’t!”
…
“Senior Brother, even today, you still refuse to believe me …”
“Qianyu Nichang … why did you want to harm me back then!”
…
“Chen’er, don’t hesitate … Don’t let life be destroyed by master’s hands.”
“Why, why … I’ve been looking for you all my life, but in the end, why did I kill you myself … Why, Ling Yin … I hate you, I hate you!”
…
“No, no, ah–”
Suddenly, all the illusions in front of him disappeared. Xiao Chen’s face was extremely pale, and even his eyes were bloodshot.
What was all that I saw just now …
Was it imagined by him …
But why is it so real, so real that everything seems to have happened …
“Hahaha” The mysterious voice sounded in his mind once again, “This is what you are most afraid of …”
“Who are you … come out!”
Xiao Chen looked at the pitch-black void. His eyes were bloodshot, and it was as if he had been stimulated. So what he saw just now was the thing he feared the most in his heart?
Wei Yang died …
Junior Sister betrayed …
Also, Master …
Why, why … why did he see this?
