191 Lu Yu’s Illusionary Realm
With the exchange of just one blow, Du Feng subdued the other impostor. Every strike he made was ruthless and severe. The impact of the sword slash sent the impostor flying.
“Hahaha… You are no match for me. With this kind of impostor you have conjured up, even if there are eight or ten of them, I can still kill them without problem.”
“I also know that each of your eyes is a replica of yourself. Your main body also cannot descend to deal with me, because that would mean that this huge illusionary realm kingdom would collapse the moment you descend!”
“Also, you better forget about poisoning me with the poisonous gas, because I am completely immune to your poisonous gas.”
Du Feng guffawed out loud, his eyes full of disdain and mockery.
Although this Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon underwent some kind of unexpected metamorphosis, in the few moments when they exchanged blows, as its former master, Do Feng already understood the ability of this former servant of his.
This vast illusionary realm kingdom was maintained by its many pairs of purple eyes overlapping and enveloping the whole area. Once the main body descended, these pairs of purple eyes would also return in an instant.
So under such circumstances, the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon could not unleash its full strength at all. The really terrifying part was that it could deploy its hallucinogenic ability to give form to nightmares and demons in the minds of those dragged into the illusionary realm.
In the end, the victims would self-implode and get devoured by the illusionary realm!
“In fact, at the beginning just now, you had this opportunity to kill me. Unfortunately, I know you like the back of my hand, and now, you have lost this opportunity.” While restraining the impostor, Du Feng taunted it.
“Ah!” The impostor roared in fury.
As an SS-class Fearsome Beast, it was comparable to a War General, a peak-level cultivator. It was able to kill a mere Grand Master with just one glance.
However, this insignificant human took advantage of the situation when it was undergoing metamorphosis and in its weakest state, and enslaved its noble self.
This was the shame of its whole life. The moment it achieved complete recovery of its strength, the thing it wanted to kill most was this insignificant human.
However, its tactics were completely useless against this human. Furthermore, he pointed out its weaknesses one by one and kept mocking it. This infuriated it to the extreme.
Du Feng’s sword twisted, and the force of a Grand Master level surged at this moment. The single sword strike pierced the body of the impostor. Immediately, a purple eye emerged, with a sword inserted in the middle.
After the sword was pulled out, the purple eye shattered. The environment of this region also began to disappear rapidly.
“Also, one more word of advice. Don’t expose your weaknesses so readily to people who know you like the back of their hand.” As Du Feng turned to leave, he dropped a flippant callous remark.
Roar!
At this moment, the entire illusionary realm kingdom was shaking violently. A roar of fury from the beast was resonating in it.
In the underground mineral ore vein,
Lu Yu was also enveloped in the illusionary realm. The time turned back rapidly at this moment and raced through the stages when he was in the states of old age and middle-age before finally settling in the youthful state.
That year, with the arrival of the apocalypse and the Spiritual Energy Renaissance, the vast plains were full of Fearsome Beasts running rampant, occupying numerous cities of humankind.
That was also the year the Holy War started!
The young Lu Yu was immersed in a bloodbath in this Holy War and barely hung on by the skin of his teeth. In the end, he survived by chance and returned as a hero. The federal government was also formed after this Holy War, and a new order of humankind society was established.
Soon after that, he married Giovanna, who gave birth to Lu Shan and Lu Shui. The whole family was happy and harmonious.
However, due to his limited talent, he was unable to break through to Martial Master. As he grew older, his health vitality declined and his cultivation level dropped steadily.
“Old man, what do you want to eat? I’ll go prepare it for you.” In the house in the old and dilapidated neighborhood, Giovanna, who was in her forties, squatted in front of the aging Lu Yu. There was a look of reluctance in her soft, watery eyes.
“No. Just let me stay here in peace and quiet for a while. It won’t take long for my illness to heal.” On the bed, Lu Yu tried to put on a healthy appearance.
Standing on one side Lu Shan and Lu Shui were already sobbing piteously. “Father, you have worked for us all your life. It is also time for us to do something for you. Don’t worry. I have asked my teacher to come and have a look at your illness. You will definitely be fine.”
It was like being in another parallel universe, except that there was no Gluttony system here. Lu Yu, like tens of millions of ordinary cultivators who participated in the Holy War, led an ordinary life in this way.
In his later years, his health vitality declined. The chronic injuries left behind in his youth could no longer be suppressed and relapsed. Under the torture of illness and pain, he died a wretched death.
And his two children were even less talented than him. They did not become cultivators. Eventually, Lu Shan became a lawyer while Lu Shui became a doctor.
“Am I going to die…” Lu Yu’s spirit was in a daze. Although the torture of illness put him in great pain, it was still not able to completely crush his heart.
He was really reluctant to be separated from his wife and his children due to death!
After his death, how would Giovanna live without the federal subsidy? How would his inexperienced son and daughter face this cruel and apocalyptic environment?
“How will they live… when I die?” Feeling the life force in his body getting weaker and weaker, Lu Yu choked and stretched out his aged big hand, trying to touch Giovanna’s face.
In the end, the big hand froze and dropped down slowly. Suddenly, the house was filled with the sound of crying!
Bang! The door was roughly kicked open and a pot-bellied man barged in. Looking around the bed for a few moments, he said, “Hoho! Dead already?”
With that, he slammed the stack of documents in his hand in Giovanna’s face and said in an arrogant manner, “From now on, we are reclaiming this house of yours and putting it up for public auction.”
“On what basis? This is our home. What right do you have?” Lu Shan clenched his fists, suppressing his anger. “I’m a lawyer. It won’t take long before I sue you.”
“Yo yo, I’m so scared!” The pot-bellied man patted his chest, and pretended to look scared, but his mouth was sneering. “This house of yours is a subsidy given by the federal government to Lu Yu. Only Lu Yu has ownership.”
“Now that Lu Yu is dead, this house will naturally be taken back.”
This kind of thing happened in every city of humankind. Lunan City was not an exception. As the group of veteran soldiers who participated in the Holy War gradually died of old age, the houses that the federal government assigned to them were forcefully taken back by the local government or powerful families and then sold off.
And this pot-bellied man was one of the local officials of Lunan City.
Each city under the federal government was separated by a zone inhabited by Fearsome Beasts. It was undoubtedly very difficult for the federal government’s decree to be scrupulously implemented in every city.
Therefore, the federal government also turned a blind eye. Over time, each city evolved to have a very high degree of autonomy. As the military zone did not have the right to intervene in politics, the vast majority of the City Lords became even more brazen and reckless.
Lu Yu, who had not yet breathed his last, watched the scene in front of him with big, bulging eyes. He was not completely dead yet, but what he feared most had happened in advance.
