Chapter 1041: Crushing the Dream (1/2)

Xin Huo laughed out loud, “Zhong Yue’s little cow, what are you speaking? Have you forgotten? You’ve been calling for me desperately and woke me up. That’s how I used the [Three Eye Heavenly Pupils] and cast away the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom’s evil power and brought you back from the illusions! How can you suspect that I’m also a fake?”

“Because Xin Huo isn’t a living creature, for whatever I’ve been going through, he shouldn’t be able to see it. And you just said the big mushroom had left me aged my whole life inside the illusions. Xin Huo wouldn’t know what I’ve been going through, so why would he say that?”

Zhong Yue smiled, “In fact, it’d be more than easy to check if I am still in the illusions. Xin Huo, impart the [Three Eye Heavenly Pupils] to me. It is a cultivation technique that even I don’t know much about and I’ve also never cultivated it. Impart it to me. With my knowledge and attainments, I will be able to determine whether the cultivation technique’s geniune.”

Xin Huo kept mum.

All of a sudden, the little flame extinguished and disappeared from his psyche ocean.

Zhong Yue sighed, he looked at his hands and mumbled, “That said, this mortal body I am in now is also fake?”

What he feared most still happened.

A weird expression climbed onto his face, like a laugh but not quite like one. He murmured, “When did my Yuan Shen come out of my mortal body? Big mushroom, where exactly is my mortal body? When did you bring my Yuan Shen out of my mortal body? Why didn’t I notice a single thing at all?”

He glanced around and questioned the truth of everything?

How could he resolve the evil saint herb’s evil powers and return to the real world?

In front, the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom was still there, waiting obediently for him to pluck it, but Zhong Yue knew it was nothing more than an illusion. The moment he plucked it down, the illusions in the illusions would break, but things would turn stranger and stranger every second.

The illusions formed by the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom’s evil powers were covered numerous layers. Zhong Yue now finally knew a little more about it. The more you followed the illusions, you deeper you would dive into the layers of illusions.

One by one, it all stacked together. Even after you break out of one layer, there would be countless more layers unknown to you waiting for you to break.

This was why the Nine Lives Black Work Mushroom was feared the most.

Zhong Yue didn’t know when he entered the illusions, nor did he know if he had entered more in the past 60,000 years.

These 60,000 years were more than enough for him to fall into hundreds of thousands or even millions of layers of illusions!

His mortal body should still be in the midst of the mountains and rivers, but with so many layers of illusions in between, he couldn’t sense it at all!

Even after he broke through all of the layers of illusions and returned to the real world, he had no way to tell if this ‘real world’ was just another illusion created by the Nine Lives Black Work Mushroom.

“Is this a saint herb? Or an evil herb?”

Zhong Yue exhaled deeply, he lowered his voice, “In order to break the illusions, there’s only one way…”

Two drums flew out from his Yuan Shen secret realms and fell down to the ground. Dong– Dong–

Zhong Yue surged all of his arcane energy and swung his hands like sticks, he cast the [Daoless Heavens] and smashed them heavily onto the drums!

The drums released thunderous booms and the [Daoless Heavens]’s powers burst out. In addition to the drums’ powers, everywhere the sounds reached, the scenary in Zhong Yue’s vision was stripped away layer by layer. In just a second, thousands of illusions had been shattered.

Dong, Dong, Dong!

Zhong Yue was drumming nonstop and the illusions around him continued to fall apart. Every pound of the drums would be followed by the fall of thousands of illusions disintegrating. Zhong Yue had struck the drum to the point that his hands were burned red; his fists, the skin, and flesh fell apart, leaving his bones exposed to the elements!

“3 million… 8 million…”

In the end, over 10 million illusions were shattered away. And finally, with the last sound of drums, no more illusions were shattered away anymore.

Zhong Yue looked at the bones that were protruding out of his fists, he smirked coldly and suddenly, slammed down hard on the drums again!

“The Yuan Shen had no bones, even when the fists were no more, there would still be no bones!”

Dong, Dong, Dong–

When the sounds of drumming broke the silence another time, the sky cracked and the earth split. Everything around cracked and shattered away as if they were never there before. Then, a huge stone tablet appeared floating above him.

Beneath the stone tablet lay many Deity Emperors, Creators, and Imperial Emperors. None of them were standing and were on the floor as if they were sleeping.

Zhong Yue was shocked, and suddenly, his scalp tingled. If the mountains and rivers and the beautiful environment they were in was also a layer of illusions; then since when had they entered the illusions?

Could it be, when they walked out of the Create Evolve Mystic Gate, they had already entered the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom’ illusions and had been affected by its Extreme Evil Qi?!

Beneath the stone tablet was a hill, and on the hill grew a black mushroom that had seven caps. It was only a few steps away from Zhong Yue.

Mo Yuanshu, Shen Qiushan, Feng Yulan, and the others’ mortal body were just on the foot of the mountain. Even the likes of the Innate Evil Monarch’s disciple, Gao Yin, was also unknowningly caught by the illusions, he couldn’t have avoided it even with the [Evil Tome].

Zhong Yue glanced around and saw his mortal body.
