Chapter 718: Illusions’ Mutation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Even Daoist Jiuji himself did not expect and realize that the illusion furthest away from him had already escaped his control. It seemed to have given birth to consciousness.
One had to know that this was extremely terrifying. If this was the case, Daiust Jiuji might die.
This was because if he could not resist the terrifying illusion, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be.
Yet, Daoist Jiuji didn’t notice this problem at all. Instead, he accelerated and rushed towards the figure.
At this moment, he heard the sound of flowing water. It seemed to be coming from the figure sitting cross-legged in front of him.
This made Daoist Jiuji even more certain that the figure should be Qin Chen!
As Daoist Juji continued to move forward, it did not take long for him to arrive in front of the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.
After Daoist Jiuji confirmed that the figure was indeed Qin Chen, only then did he realize that the latter seemed to have fallen asleep.
At this moment, Daoist Jiuji didn’t dare to look ahead, because he knew that the legendary and terrifying River Lethe was right in front! He then lifted Qin Chen and ran back the way he came.
What he needed to do now was to escape.
Otherwise, if anything unusual happened in the River Lethe, it was very likely that he would not be able to leave alive.
At that time, not only would he have failed to save Qin Chen, but he would even lose his life.
When he thought of this, Daoist Jiuji’s heart pounded wildly as if some danger was approaching.
This was a special ability of premonition that came from him cultivating to level 9 of the God Venerable realm.
If no danger could threaten his life, he would never have such a feeling.
But now, he had no choice but to run back the way he came without looking back.
At this moment, everyone was extremely anxious.
They didn’t know how Daoist Jiuji was doing. It had been quite some time since he had entered the fog to rescue Qin Chen.
If this continued and Daoist Jiuji didn’t come out soon, they would have no choice but to go in and rescue Qin Chen themselves.
Daoist Jiuji didn’t realize that some of the illusions he had condensed already had consciousness and were even moving.
They seemed to be wandering in this vast fog.
God knows how many illusions Daoist Jiuji had produced in the boundless fog. This was because condensing the illusions did not require him to expend too much of his strength.
Therefore, Daoist Jiuji kept doing so to confirm whether his position was correct.
Right now, he was carrying Qin Chen on his back as he continued to run.
At this moment, he did not know how far he had run. He only knew that the direction ahead should be the way out.
He no longer heard the sound of running water, which meant he should be far away from the River Lethe.
He thought that the danger was slowly decreasing, but unexpectedly, among the illusions he condensed not far away, an illusion was making a strange movement.
It turned around and looked at Daoist Jiuji.
Daoist Jiuji instantly sensed that something was wrong.
If he didn’t give the order, how could that illusion move on its own? This was definitely not an illusion that he had condensed.
However, when he sensed the familiar aura of the illusion and realized that it was indeed one he had condensed, he was extremely shocked!
“Is this my f*cking illusion?”
He was at a loss for words.
This was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing. To think an illusion he condensed seemed to have escaped his control and transformed into an independent being.
It was like a bolt from the blue and made Daoist Jiuji feel very uncomfortable.
He didn’t know what to say and his face turned extremely pale.
To think he did not notice that his illusion had already undergone such a change.
Then, he looked into the distance where there were countless other illusions. Perhaps all of them had mutated.
Indeed, in this vast fog, the fact that he could condense illusions was problematic enough.
Still, he didn’t expect that the illusions could move on will.
The illusion seemed to want to attack Daoist Jiuji.
How could Daoist Jiuji endure this? It felt as if the son he had raised had turned against him.
Daoist Jiuji found this unacceptable. He immediately commanded the other illusions that had not mutated to attack the one that had mutated.
Once the illusion had consciousness, it would become even more agile. Although Daoist Jiuji could control a large number of illusions, he was unable to effectively deal any damage to the mutated illusion.
Some illusions were even torn apart by the illusions that had mutated.
Daoist Jiuji was incomparably furious. While carrying Qin Chen on his back, he attacked decisively.
A wooden spear appeared in his hand and he threw it forward.
Almost instantly, the terrifying wooden spear pierced through the illusion that had already developed consciousness.
In an instant, the illusion turned into nothingness as if it had never appeared.
This finally calmed Daoist Jiuji down.
However, when he looked ahead again, he discovered that most of the illusions he had produced earlier had already developed consciousness. And now, his actions had undoubtedly triggered those illusions.
There was no other way.
Daoist Jiuji gulped and looked at the countless illusions that he had condensed and developed self-consciousness.
When the overwhelming tide of illusions charged towards him, he roared angrily and condensed an illusion again to block the tide.
He did not believe that these illusions could rebel against him.
Daoist Jiuji let out a furious roar, sending out a signal to attack the countless illusions that had developed consciousness.
A great battle between the illusions erupted at this moment.
Qin Chen, who was on Daoist Jiuji’s back, could seemingly sense what was going on. Although he was in a deep sleep, he could still be affected by the outside world..
