Chapter 1423: Finally See That Person Again

The blue sky was empty, and the warm sunlight shone brightly. Green gra.s.s covered the ground, extending to the horizon, greedily absorbing the sunlight and the earth’s blessings. A lively mouse curiously stared at Long Chen from its tunnel opening.

There was no slaughter in this world of peace and tranquility. The sunlight s.h.i.+ning down on Long Chen gave him an urge to relax and take a nap.

“This is a harbor for people’s hearts, a paradise. Unfortunately, illusions are just illusions. A person can’t live a lifetime in an illusion.”

Long Chen shook his head. With a shout, the scene in front of him vanished again. He continued onward.

After going through two environments, he realized this illusion formation targeted a person’s Dao-heart. It targeted the weakest places in a person’s heart.

On his way forward, he saw several people lying on the ground with content smiles. They looked like happy babies, but their souls had already dissipated. They were dead.

Instead of dying to a fierce slaughter, they had died slowly like frogs being boiled. Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. Once you fell asleep in that peaceful world, you would never wake up.

The threats you could see weren’t dangerous; it was those you couldn’t see that were truly terrifying.

In this illusion formation, anyone with weak wills would die. Based on those people’s attire, they should have been experts with decent backgrounds. But their wills just weren’t strong enough.

This had nothing to do with a person’s combat power. Many talented geniuses ended up having everything go easy for them in their lifetimes, which meant their wills were rarely tempered.

Only people with powerful hearts that had gone through true tests of life and death would be able to survive this formation.

As he continued forward, Long Chen saw all kinds of illusions. He saw his parents in the Eastern Wasteland together with his little sister.

Unfortunately, these illusions were based on his memories. After so many years, their appearance should have changed. As for Long Xiaoyu, she was still as tiny as ever.

The only thing this formation did to him was make his eyes tear up when he saw his parents and sister. Despite knowing it was an illusion, he couldn’t help it.

He had left the Eastern Wasteland so long ago. He had experienced so much, and he felt weary. When he saw his mother’s warm expression, he suddenly recalled that when he had been bullied, he wouldn’t tell his mother. But his mother would already know about it and tightly hug him, comforting him.

His mother held him once more, comforting him once more.

In front of his lovers, he was a confident and easy-going prince charming.

In front of the Dragonblood Legion, he was an undefeatable battle G.o.d.

In front of his fierce enemies, he was a merciless killing G.o.d.

However, in front of his mother, he was still that child. There was still a soft spot in his heart, and that particular spot would only be shown when he was in front of his mother.

After a long moment, Long Chen wiped away his tears and steeled his heart. The scene in front of him shattered again. He continued forward. He constantly entered more illusions and repeatedly smashed his way through them. His advancement was rapid.

“Something’s wrong.” Long Chen suddenly felt that something was off. He looked down and rubbed the ground. “There’s something below.”

He dug a hole in the ground and quickly found a strange bone. He couldn’t tell what bone it was.

It had to be as big as a house. Long Chen pulled fiercely, and the ground suddenly split open. He yanked out the bone and saw that it was connected to another bone.

As he pulled harder, he was shocked to find that it was extremely long. “Just what is this?!”

He pulled and a huge tail appeared. The more he pulled out, the thicker the tail became. It was like he was pulling out a huge bone snake.

BOOM!

Eventually, he pulled out a whole giant skeleton from the ground. It was like a mountain and was probably just as large as the Alldevil monster he had encountered in the Heaven Dragon Flame Region.

He jumped onto its tail and walked toward its head. He saw some beautiful decorative lines on its skull. Suddenly, he felt a burst of drowsiness overtake him, and he fell from the skeleton.

“These lines are strange. I can’t look directly at them.” Long Chen’s heart shook. Just now, as he had run forward, he had looked right at the decorative lines and almost fallen asleep.

He jumped back onto the skeleton, but this time he didn’t look at those lines. He went to the highest point of the skeleton. His heart began to pound.

He finally saw the full appearance of the skeleton. It was similar in shape to a dragon, but it had a huge pair of wings and three heads.

“Is this the legendary Three-head Nine-eye Illusion Spirit Beast?”

Long Chen hastily checked the skull. He saw a large hole on each forehead where a third eye would be.

The Three-head Nine-eye Illusion Spirit Beast was a legendary existence. Or perhaps it should be called an existence that only existed in myths and stories. They had long since vanished from the Martial Heaven Continent. Nothing was left of them.

In fact, whether or not they even existed was a contentious topic on the Martial Heaven Continent.
