Chapter 591: Chapter 350: Non-existent Scene

"Lu Cang! What have you done!"

Lu Cang gripped his War Spear and glanced coldly to the side. Standing there in mid-air was his father, hair already flecked with gray at the temples.

’My father couldn’t possibly be here.’

’My father is in my Storage Bag.’

’This kind of charade is so boring.’

’Do they really think some fantasy about family can shake my will to fight?’

However...

Lu Cang scanned the person before him with his Perception.

He actually had a soul.

And his Date of Death was only about thirty years away, just like a normal human’s.

’A person with a soul, and a Date of Death, too.’

Lu Cang assessed the situation, touching his own body.

’This must be a very High Level Illusion Technique...’

’My enemy is some kind of eyeball creature, though I don’t know if it’s a Demon.’

But from the moment he saw that this Demon-like thing was an eyeball, Lu Cang had guessed it might possess an ability like an Illusion Technique.

’As for the tools at my disposal...’

’I don’t really have any powerful methods for breaking Illusion Techniques. I know some Magic spells that can do it, but I don’t know if they’ll be enough to work on this enemy.’

BANG!

Lu Cang fired a spell into the sky, and it exploded in a brilliant flash of colors.

But the anti-Illusion Technique spell had no effect whatsoever.

His Divine Level·Final Sense could grant him premonitions and prevent his Perception from being blocked. Yet, the person before him felt completely real, even to his Perception.

’It even has a soul. How lifelike.’

Lu Cang’s War Spear turned the color of Black Iron.

"Lu Cang! What in the world have you done!"

Tears of pain and despair streamed down Lu Zhenghang’s face, but Lu Cang’s expression only grew colder.

"This is getting really boring," he said, his voice ice-cold.

SHK!

He took a few steps forward and ran his War Spear through Lu Zhenghang’s body.

’His conviction was absolute.’

’This is an illusion, not my real family.’

’My only family member is in my Storage Bag, turned into a Demon. Everything else is fake, no matter what form it takes.’

Lu Cang had already solidified his conviction. It was the bedrock of his heart, and he would not be shaken.

Lu Cang pulled the War Spear from Lu Zhenghang’s body, and blood gushed out.

Lu Cang scanned his surroundings with his Perception again, looking for a way to break the illusion.

But as he did, the surrounding scenery began to shift and change like popping bubbles.

He was standing in a vast, empty plaza. A place he knew all too well.

This was Wuyue Plaza in Qingdao.

He now stood before the main entrance of the Wuyue Plaza shopping mall.

He was holding a round rod, its tip stained crimson.

Behind him.

Lay a woman, her head smashed in.

And before him stood Lu Zhenghang, whom he had just impaled.

He was no longer wearing his Enchanted Battle Suit, but a brown insulated jacket.

Lu Zhenghang clutched his chest.

He kept stumbling backward.

His eyes were filled with incomprehension and disbelieving sorrow.

"Why...?"

"Lu Cang, you... why...?"

Blood streamed from the wound in his chest and trickled from his mouth and nose. With a punctured lung, a normal person would have been unable to speak.

But he persisted, determined to ask his son.

Why?

Why would you do this?

Why did you suddenly grab a pipe and beat your own mother to a pulp?

Weren’t we supposed to be buying groceries for dinner?

"A... a murderer!"

"Call the police! Hurry, call the police!"

"Oh my god!"

The surrounding voices were a clamor of panic.

Lu Cang looked around, seeing only the panicked crowd.

There was no trace of Moonfall Island here at all.

’What a realistic Illusion Technique.’

’What a real world.’

’How do I break this Illusion Technique?’

Lu Cang raised his hand!

BOOM!

Thunder boomed across the sky!

Countless bolts of lightning crisscrossed the sky, blanketing the entire planet. The Range of Lu Cang’s Magic had long surpassed what a small world like Earth could withstand.

’The first step to breaking this Illusion Realm...’

’...is to destroy everything that serves as a distraction.’

BOOM!

With a deafening, shattering roar, a thin spear of lightning pierced straight through the entire planet. It penetrated deep into Earth’s core and exploded outward!

The world shattered.

Countless fragments of rock and magma from beneath the crust were blasted into space.

Lu Cang shot into the sky.

He rose above the atmosphere, only to find himself floating in outer space.

In the distance was the moon.

Below his feet was the shattered Earth.

The massive, fiery red sphere even farther away was clearly the sun.

"Lu... Cang."

A whisper reached his ears again.

Lu Cang turned toward the sound, only to see the figure of Lu Luwei once more.

"You killed your parents, you know."

"They."

"Were both... real."

FIZZ—

Lu Luwei’s figure appeared like a dream, only to dissipate an instant later.

’Were my parents real or not? As if I wouldn’t know.’

’Such a shoddy illusion.’

"An Su, have you figured anything out about this illusion?"

An Su replied in his mind, ’Kid, this doesn’t look like an illusion to me...’

’But it’s hard to say for sure.’

’This place feels like the Deep Land, but it’s not quite the same.’

’It feels more like a Realm, constructed using the Laws of the Deep Land.’

’A Realm...’

Lu Cang remembered Luo Mo, whom he had killed.

The Tier Eight Demon had already mastered a Realm.

He’d heard that powerful Level 8 Reincarnators could also master their own Realms. It seemed that everything he was currently seeing was the effect of his opponent’s Realm.

He had a Divine Artifact to help him when he fought against Luo Mo’s Realm.

But this time, Lu Cang had no such Divine Artifact.

’Looks like I really should have just stolen Yelieya’s Divine Artifact back then. I was soft-hearted for a moment, and now I’m paying the price...’

An enemy you couldn’t physically attack was the most infuriating kind of foe.

"Are there any other ways to break a Realm?"

’Heh, simple. Let me handle it.’

"Any methods besides you handling it," Lu Cang asked calmly.

’I might really have to face this enemy myself. If I can find a way to defeat it on my own, I won’t use An Su.’

’Even a Level 9 Reincarnator can’t maintain a Realm forever. It consumes a massive amount of energy... As long as you can hold out long enough, the Realm will naturally dissipate.’

An Su replied.

As Lu Cang was consulting An Su, Lu Luwei’s figure appeared before him once more.

FIZZ—

"You could have been a happy person."

"Lu Cang, do you know that only a very small portion of people in this world get to die a peaceful death?"

"This is a way to make everyone in the world happy, you know."

"If you can’t understand that... what a pity."

Lu Luwei’s figure flickered, sometimes clear, sometimes faint.

But her speech was becoming increasingly fluent.

CRACK—

Lu Cang saw the Space all around him begin to crack like an eggshell.

BANG!

The scene before his eyes changed again.

Lu Cang turned and found himself holding a rope. A light rain was falling from the sky, and tied to the other end of the rope was Leng Qingying.

’Is this... the night Leng Qingying was kidnapped by that man?’

’And I’m him. The kidnapper.’

Lu Cang understood the situation in an instant. But in the next moment, he saw Leng Qingying, holding a sharp blade, lunge for his neck.

’My power is still there.’

’I only need to lift a finger to kill this Leng Qingying who’s trying to fight back.’
