Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 460 - 459: Lost in the Illusion Realm, Cyan Snake: Why Are You So Foolish? [Part 2]

The overwhelming might, as if the heavens and the earth were collapsing, swept over.

A terrifying gale.

In the giant’s remains, it stirred up endless ashes.

The descent of the demon’s palm.

Caused all the rib-like stone pillars to shatter.

The surroundings began to collapse as well.

The river of blood below evaporated because of it.

This strike was too terrifying.

Let Lin Heng feel the breath of death.

Yet he still firmly kept his eyes closed, choosing not to resist.

As if awaiting his doom!

Finally.

A palm pressed toward his head.

Amidst a deafening roar, everything around collapsed and disappeared.

A gleam of light pierced through the bone dust.

Landed on his face.

Lin Heng slowly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, what was about to strike his head.

Wasn’t the demon palm of Demon Venerable Chong Lou at all.

But rather a finger of the Long-armed Ape pointing at his Celestial Spirit.

This finger made his mind clear, revealing the true scene around him.

He wasn’t inside the giant’s skeletal remains at all; around him was a shrouded, eerie forest.

There was no Demon Venerable Chong Lou in front of him.

What existed.

Was only the Long-armed Ape he previously obstructed with Chaos Qi.

His face was somewhat pale, with a trace of blood even on the corner of his mouth.

But when he saw Lin Heng regain his clarity under his pointing finger, the Long-armed Ape also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew..."

He withdrew his finger, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then said to Lin Heng:

"What did you see?"

"Why did you strike at me as soon as we entered this Demon Land?"

Indeed!

Lin Heng’s gaze darkened slightly, expressing some apology:

"I got deceived, saw Demon Venerable Chong Lou."

He recounted everything from inside the giant’s remains.

"I knew it."

The Long-armed Ape rubbed his head, arms somewhat numb, wincing slightly.

Clearly.

All of Lin Heng’s actions earlier were attacks on the Long-armed Ape after falling into an illusion.

And the blood on the Long-armed Ape’s lips.

Naturally stemmed from Lin Heng’s resistance to the ’Quasi-Saint Power.’

"Good thing you stopped in time, or else, we might determine life and death before reaching our destination."

The Long-armed Ape spoke with some lingering fear, then curiously asked:

"How did you realize you were in an illusion?"

Lin Heng spoke honestly: "That strike from Demon Venerable Chong Lou was too soft, far from Quasi-Saint Power. I thought it was too easy to take, then realized the demon was an illusion."

"..."

This left the Long-armed Ape speechless, twitching at the corners of his mouth.

"I wasn’t serious with you, or even if I struck with all my might, you might not take it easily!" the Long-armed Ape boasted.

"Oh."

Lin Heng gave a noncommittal smile, his gaze turning to the Mist Forest around.

Wherever his eyes could reach.

Was nothing but murky mist.

Only where he and the Long-armed Ape stood was slightly clearer.

Clearly.

The surrounding mist had been cleared away by the Long-armed Ape.

"So we are now already in the Demon Land, right?" Lin Heng asked.

"You could say that."

The Long-armed Ape nodded, his expression returning to seriousness.

"This is also called the Mist Forest, the edge of the Demon Land, filled with Heart Demon Illusion Realms."

"Only by passing through here can we see the actual territory of the Demon Race."

Lin Heng’s eyes slightly narrowed: "Entering from a void rift straight into such a dangerous place, no wonder everyone says the Outer Demon Land is a place of great peril."

The misty illusion realm here is indeed terrifying.

Even his Purple Qi Dao Eye can’t see through it.

The most crucial part is.

He is at the Ancestral Immortal Peak and still traps deep in the illusion.

It’s truly frightening!

"How are we to pass through this Mist Forest?" Lin Heng asked.

He wished to force through, disperse the mist with Great Magical Power, but the resulting commotion might be significant.

"Just follow me."

The Long-armed Ape said, as a cold silver staff appeared in his palm, Bohai’s Ultimate Treasure, the Pillar of Heaven.

"Hold the other end. Remember, no matter what you see, no matter what you hear."

"Ignore it all."

"And don’t let go."

"Even if you see your arm chopped off, don’t let go," the Long-armed Ape instructed.

"Got it!" Lin Heng replied firmly, grabbing the other end of the staff.

"Let’s go!"

The Long-armed Ape hesitated no longer, leading the way forward, disappearing into the mist first.

Lin Heng followed suit without hesitation, closing his eyes.

Grasping the staff, he followed closely behind.

Then.

It was an almost endless journey forward.

An incense stick worth of time.

A Shi Chen.

A day.

A month.

A year.

It was too long.

The journey through the mist was truly too long.

Long enough for Lin Heng to feel dazed, even to the point of nearly forgetting, the purpose of his journey.

"Haven’t we arrived yet?"

He couldn’t help but feel anxious inside.

"Could this also be an illusion?"

Lin Heng began to doubt the Long-armed Ape leading the way in front.

But he forced himself to refrain from inquiring or opening his eyes.

"Ignore everything, just keep going," Lin Heng gritted his teeth and resolved internally.

Consequently.

A year passed...

Ten years passed...

A hundred years passed...

Lin Heng became entirely disoriented; he could no longer remember the passage of time, feeling as though he had been trapped in the Mist Forest for a thousand years, even ten thousand years.

"Is this an illusion?"

"Will I be trapped here forever?"

Lin Heng furrowed his brow, pondering deeply.

Two voices emerged inside him.

One told him to ignore everything and keep moving.

Another told him this also was an illusion, that this path had no end!

His Divine Soul gradually became dazed.

In the midst of haze.

A cold sensation came from his palm.

The next moment, he heard a sobbing voice.

"How could you run to the Outer Demon Land?"

"Why are you so foolish..."

Cyan Snake?

Lin Heng abruptly opened his eyes, only to find that what he was firmly grasping was not a staff.

It was clearly the delicate hand of Cyan Snake.

She had appeared at some unknown time, tear-streaked face, calling him a fool repeatedly.

"You... you’re okay?" Lin Heng revealed a look of joy.

"What’s wrong with me? It’s you, how could you come here..." Cyan Snake’s beautiful eyes were red, full of compassion.

Lin Heng only then noticed he was deeply surrounded.

Within his view.

Were endless demon armies.

Billowing dark aura, sending the sun and moon retreating westward.

"This..."

Lin Heng was utterly bewildered.

At this moment, Cyan Snake wiped the tears from her face, a sword blade appearing in her hand, facing the endless demon army.

She was as resilient as back then, gritting her teeth and saying:

"I will bring you through!"

But Lin Heng was somewhat lost.

Because in his mind, the words of the Long-armed Ape were reverberating.

As if spoken endless ages ago.

’Ignore whatever you hear, whatever you see!’

Lin Heng’s expression was complex: "But if I don’t, do I keep walking endlessly forever?"

"Ultimately, what is real?"

He grew inexplicably restless, even angry.

Yet, just at this moment.

Lin Heng suddenly remembered something, urgently reciting silently in his mind:

"Ah Xi?"

"Yes!"
