Chapter 630: Chaos Gives Birth to Wujie

The Reversed Demons chased out a hundred thousand miles when they suddenly realized, “Where is he going? Could it be…?”

“Hmph, he knows he’s bound to die, so he’s heading to Wujie Cave.”

“Are we going too? Wujie Cave is too peculiar; it has long been battered by the Chaotic Mirage, where the scenes seem real and unreal. No one has ever touched the true essence and instead suffered great losses.”

“Full speed ahead! Capture that audacious lower realm cultivator!” The leading elder ordered, and the other Reversed Demons quickened their pace.

In the Heavenly Realm, there is no day; it is always pitch black, with only a few dead trees emitting a faint glow.

Li Hui headed toward a terrifying area, where he saw illusory lights and shadows, as the Chaotic Mirage swept by, creating illusions like a raging storm.

Before he could approach the storm, five powerful Reversed Demons had already caught up.

“Attack and annihilate! He still has his Legal form in the lower realm; take care to leave a trace of his soul,” the elderly demon insisted. Just then, a drumbeat startled him, making him anxious and causing his speed to drop significantly.

“Bang…” The other four elder demons did not hold back; Li Hui had no time to look back and quickly tossed out a broken shield, a treasure absolutely worth having from the Crystal Palace.

“Boom, boom, boom…” The broken shield absorbed the heavy blows. Seizing this moment, he charged madly into the storm created by the Chaotic Mirage.

“He’s come in!”

Li Hui glanced around and found it dim everywhere, his cultivation immediately plummeting from the All-Manifestation Realm, and he might soon drop to the Condense Essence Stage.

This was a forbidden zone for cultivators; the Chaotic Mirage swept away power. No matter if it was gold, wood, water, fire, earth, poison, electricity, thunder, or frost, in the onslaught of the Chaotic Mirage, everything turned into illusions, losing its foundation of existence.

“Bang, bang, bang…” Each step forward was immensely difficult, the Chaotic Mirage struck his body like heavy fists, forcing out numerous talismans and runes, which scattered backward with the fierce winds.

Li Hui moved inch by inch. Before entering the Heavenly Realm, he had been curious about the source of the Chaotic Mirage. Encountering the remnants of three venerable spirits had unveiled some mysterious aspects, but to truly understand, he had to experience it himself.

The source of the Chaotic Mirage was undoubtedly a dead zone, but the bull-headed ghost was merely one of his incarnations. With the Li Gui suppressing his soul, he could naturally endure longer than others; he was not seeking death but was instead seeking life.

Behind him, five figures broke through the air barrier, their momentum immediately dropping. However, as cultivators of the Heavenly Realm, they understood the Chaotic Mirage far better than Li Hui.

“We’ve caught up! Where does this scoundrel think he can run to?”

The five launched their attacks simultaneously, thinking they could restrain Li Hui, but they miscalculated again. Countless talismans scattered, and the six-zhang tall barbarian body swelled once more, transforming into the Dragon Child Bi Lan as it charged forward, increasing its speed tenfold.

“Is he controlling a corpse? This corpse retains abundant vitality and has been activated and enhanced by treasure; how troublesome.” More Reversed Demons rushed into the mirage, joining the five leaders.

Li Hui drove the Bi Lan corpse wildly forward, issuing commands through the talismans—just one word: run.

The Chaotic Mirage continuously swept over him, even evolving into concrete objects, sometimes a shoe, sometimes an ancient book, all blown towards him by the wild winds, occasionally even manifesting a palace that crashed into him.

Initially, encountering various objects, it sufficed to simply charge ahead, for they were all illusions that could be shattered instantly. But upon crossing through a layer of haze, everything turned real; the Bi Lan collided and made loud smashing sounds.

Li Hui was astonished: “How could this be? Have these illusions transformed into reality, or has the Bi Lan become an illusion? I never imagined such a bizarre place existed in the world.”

Indeed, it was strange; the storm created by the Chaotic Mirage blurred the lines between reality and illusion.

Moreover, there was a large group of Reversed Demons pursuing him! Yet, when he crossed that layer of hazy boundary, everyone’s expressions turned grim, worse than if they had lost a loved one.

“He’s broken through the Dawn-Dusk Line! This scoundrel can really run! What a powerful Bi Lan incarnation, to keep running under the control of talisman methods,” the Reversed Demons ground their teeth in frustration.

The Bi Lan charged straight ahead; even if illusions became realities, it continued its wild assault, ignoring what was real or illusory.

As a result, the Reversed Demons were heavily affected. They preferred to utilize all things and perform various escape methods, far superior to ordinary cultivators, yet they could not maneuver freely in the Chaotic Mirage.

Li Hui refused to ease up; the Chaotic Mirage began to seep into the Bi Lan corpse, washing away his arrangements. With every moment, numerous talismans dissipated, returning to the heaven and earth as if they had never existed.

“This isn’t good! At this rate, I’ll lose ten percent of control every thirty moments. After three hundred moments, the Chaotic Mirage will invade the Bi Lan’s dantian. No, it might not even take three hundred moments before it stops! What if I use the Kui Niu Drum as a treasure cabinet, specifically to absorb the Chaotic Mirage to modify this body? Hey, what am I thinking? Is there any room for choice left? I can only take this path, but I wonder how long the Kui Niu Drum can hold out.”

“Fifty moments, one hundred moments, one hundred fifty moments, two hundred moments…”

Before reaching three hundred moments, the Bi Lan corpse lost its ability to move, rolling forward like a pile of insensible flesh and bones. Meanwhile, the sound of drums echoed along the ground.

Li Hui bellowed, “Transform! Change the Bi Lan into a deity suitable for walking in the Chaotic Mirage.”

A roaring sound erupted as the Kui Niu Drum fell into the Bi Lan’s dantian, emitting a hazy red glow, while many symbols on the drum began to change.

Previously, it absorbed the Red Warrior but consumed the power of the Red Warrior, leaving behind many bone spheres as formation nodes. Now, it was absorbing the Chaotic Mirage; Li Hui had no certainty if this would work.

With uncertainty came a gamble; he had faced more difficult situations before, and even if he didn’t succeed, completing half of it would be enough for him.

The following scene was magnificent; all sorts of items flew towards the Bi Lan—folding screens, houses, trees, flowers, immense hills, and palaces, quickly piling up like mountains.

A colossal whirlpool of Chaotic Mirage formed, swirling around this gigantic peak.

When the Reversed Demons reached this place, their powers had already been reduced by seventy to eighty percent, and they watched as all sorts of items withered away and vanished; the violent winds suddenly calmed, the drum beats lowered with each thud, becoming increasingly weak.

Li Hui felt greatly relieved; the Li Gui protected his Legal form from the Chaotic Mirage’s onslaught. Without such an umbrella, he would have perished today.

The drum surface of the Kui Niu Drum changed to a red-black color; the traces left by the Red Warrior had all disappeared, and the formation nodes set by the bones of the Red Warrior had collapsed. Most of the symbols on the drum vanished, but a small few retained deeper imprints, faintly exuding profound Dao Rhythm.

“Chaos gives birth to Wujie, Wujie gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to Yin-Yang!” Li Hui suddenly understood: “I see! This is the place where Chaos gives birth to Wujie. Moving forward, Wujie gives birth to Tai Chi; finding the Yin-Yang eye of Tai Chi and entering it might allow me to reach another grand world.”
