As the Universe Turns - Chapter 471
Chapter 471 Seventh Center of Gravity Demon
“Zheng!”
As the last stroke landed, Xiao Chen returned to the ground. He stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves moving without wind. At this moment, the entire illusion suddenly became exceptionally quiet. Then, True Monarch Black and White’s laughter sounded.
True Monarch Black and White clapped his hands and laughed, “Good! Good! What a ridiculous person! Little friend, if you dare to compete with the will of heaven and fight against fate, you will definitely achieve limitless achievements in the future. You have passed this level of mine.” With that, he flicked his sleeve and the entire illusion disappeared.
“Thank you.”
Xiao Chen’s expression was the same as before, and his tone was indifferent. After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and turned into a ray of sword light again, flying towards the fourth level of the mountain.
By the evening of the third day, he had successfully passed the first six levels of the Illusion Test. There was only one more hour left. After two hours, it would be completely dark. If he still failed, he would have to wait for another A to pass from scratch.
He didn’t know what kind of test would be awaiting him at this level, and who would be the expert waiting for him.
Xiao Chen’s footsteps were neither slow nor swift. He walked all the way to the entrance of the mountain peak illusion. The last level was different from the first six levels. The first six levels of the mountain had more or less restrictions, but this level of the mountain was strangely quiet. There were no restrictions at all.
Just because there was no restriction did not mean that there was no danger. Xiao Chen walked into the illusion and saw a figure sitting in the depths of the illusion with his back facing him. However, why did this figure look somewhat familiar?
“You … finally came.”
An indifferent voice came from the depths of the illusion. Even the voice was so familiar. The person’s chair slowly turned around. The person looked exactly like him. The difference was that the person’s eyes were cold and heartless, filled with hatred and hostility, and he had no other emotions.
“Who are you.”
Xiao Chen frowned. This person in front of him was definitely not just an illusion. Previously, at the second level, that witch had indeed transformed into Wei Yang to deceive him. However, this person who looked exactly like him in front of him was definitely not someone who had transformed into an illusion.
“Me? I am you … can’t you even recognize the real you in your heart? It seems like the world is really prosperous. Are you confused?”
The man slowly stood up from his chair and walked towards Xiao Chen step by step.
“What? You … don’t admit it?”
The man’s voice was gloomy as he sneered, “Have you forgotten?” I am that lowly you. In the past, in Xuanqing Sect, you watched them hurt the people you like, but you were helpless. Facing the doubts of those people, facing the slaughter of those people, you were so lowly that you could not resist like an ant. If you were given another chance, would you kill them all? Hahaha … Yes, that’s right. It’s just this kind of gaze. It’s a gaze of hatred. Kill them all. You just need to kill them all … ”
“Shut up!”
Xiao Chen Genuine energy shook and threw his palm at the person in front of him. However, the moment his palm struck out, the person disappeared and slowly appeared behind him.
“What?” He smiled sinisterly. Anger? Jealousy? Hatred? That’s right, this is the real you. When you see me, it means that you see yourself … In your heart, you always want to kill all those who once betrayed you, don’t you … and Ling Yin, is she really that good to you? And Hua Wei Yang, is it just a coincidence that she came to your side … Have you ever suspected, haha … ”
“I told you to shut up!”
Killing intent suddenly gathered on Xiao Chen’s face. With a swipe of his finger, an incomparable sword qi slashed out. However, when the sword qi slashed onto that person, that person disappeared again. Then, he slowly gathered into a human silhouette.
‘”Hahaha …” You wanted to kill me because you never dared to look straight into your heart. Am I right? Oh, right, Ning Village, where you grew up, why don’t you guess who caused Ning Village’s blood to flow into a river … You just don’t dare to think about it, do you? Hahaha … ”
“Shut up!”
Xiao Chen slashed out again. The sword qi caused the entire hall to tremble violently. However, that person slowly appeared behind him, as if he was his shadow.
‘”You can’t kill me, because I’m your shadow. I’m hiding in the darkest part of your heart. I’m watching everything about you. I’ll let you pass the seventh level, but can you really go over there? Hahaha … I’ll wait for you, the day you fall into the abyss, hahaha …”
That person’s figure slowly disappeared, and his laughter faded into silence. Afterwards, the entire hall slowly disappeared. Only the cold wind blew past Xiao Chen from the peak of the mountain.
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and began to recall what the figure had said. It was his inner demon, he knew.
“Boom!”
A loud noise rang out, and the entire mountain trembled. Then, it slowly disappeared. In the end, Xiao Chen returned to his original place.
At this time, the voice of the twelve-fingered Heart Demon finally came from the sky, “I once told you that the reason why you were unable to defeat the enemy in front of you is because your strength is not enough. One day, when you reach that level of strength, the formerly strong enemy will no longer be your enemy.”
Xiao Chen raised his head to look at the sky. He didn’t know whether he should thank this Great Devil or hate this Great Devil. If it was outside, he might not be able to transform into a spirit anyway, but the sixty years he had been inside had already allowed him to truly comprehend it.
However, this was only true comprehension of Soul Formation, not true Soul Formation. Right now, his realm was between true Soul Formation and false Soul Formation. In other words, he was actually like those people who did not transform bones. Although they were called Soul Formation people, most of them were merely false Soul Formation people.
Right now, it was almost easy for him to deal with Unmelted Bones.
“You succeeded.”
The voice of the twelve-fingered Heart Demon came from the sky again.
Xiao Chen’s expression was expressionless, and there was no change in his emotions in his eyes. He calmly said, “But I also lost something forever.”
“There are many obstacles in the path of an expert. When you reach the Legendary Realm one day and turn around, you will find that what you lost is nothing worth mentioning.”
“No … she will never be what you say.” Xiao Chen looked at the sky and said calmly.
‘”Is that so? You have forgotten what you said in less than sixty years. What if it is thousands of years from now? Do you still remember the Oath Mountain Alliance? You only need to remember what I said today … Now, look back and see that you have actually lost nothing.”
Xiao Chen turned around and saw that the restriction outside had disappeared at some unknown time. A crack appeared in the void. The outside of the crack was exactly the same as when he entered, and there was no change at all.
“This …”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a slight shock in his heart. The twelve-fingered Heart Devil said, “This is my domain, and I will create the rules. One of the rules is here, but the day you enter is still outside. If you have thought it through, then leave.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t believe it. Could it be that these sixty years had just passed in a dream? The time outside, however, did not leave in the slightest?
The twelve-fingered Heart Devil said, “Back then, the person who sealed me was called the Nine Directors. He was a god in the Heaven Realm … I need to find a reincarnated person before I can leave this place.”
Xiao Chen was still a little shocked. He slowly calmed down after a long time and said, “The person you are looking for may not really exist in this world. Even if he is alive, even if he is standing right in front of you, you may not recognize him.”
“Is that so? If he were alive, I wouldn’t be able to find him … Even if he came, I wouldn’t be able to recognize him …”
The twelve-fingered heart demon’s voice gradually became somewhat confused. In the end, three things suddenly flew down from the black clouds in the sky. They were actually three bloody hearts.
“This is the hearts of those three people back then. Please return it to them for me …”
Xiao Chen put away his three hearts and looked at the sky. “See you later.” With that, he leapt backwards and entered the spatial rift.
