Chapter 1164: 522: The Dragon Emperor’s Truth! Devouring the Demonic God Ruins!_2
…
Lanling had not yet spoken.
The Demonic God Ruins before him made the Eye of Light and Shadow tremble.
It truly felt fear and anxiety.
Because this realm belonged to him, Lanling’s thoughts were imdiately known to it.
Lanling sneered: “Everything I just experienced, was all an illusion, right?”
With these words!
Suddenly, the world around him shattered like a glass mirror.
The magnificent pyramid disappeared, the huge high-altitude platform vanished too.
At this mont, Lanling was on a desolate stone-topped peak.
And he was no longer a soul shadow, but an actual body.
Everything earlier was an illusion, so his soul wandering was rely just Lanling’s imagination.
That gigantic Eye of Light and Shadow had also disappeared, leaving Lanling at the mountain top of a broken temple.
The previous Demonic God Ruins with its imposing fiery Eye of Light, towering several dozen ters high, was nowhere to be seen.
At the center of the broken temple, Lanling saw only a flickering green fla, extrely weak, seemingly on the verge of extinction.
Is this the true face of the Demonic God Ruins?
Lanling asked: “Is it you?”
“It is I.” The green fla flickered gently, and a voice echoed in Lanling’s ears.
Lanling said: “What are you, truly?”
“I am a devilish fire,” said the Demonic God Ruins.
“Devilish fire?” Lanling was stunned: “The pyramid, the gates of spring, sumr, autumn, and winter, were all illusions you created, right?”
“Correct!” said the devilish fire: “To be precise, the illusions were created based on your brain’s imagination.”
Lanling said: “Then, what happened to the countless others who entered this Ghost Domain before?”
The devilish fire said: “They all died, tornted to death by the illusions they conjured in their minds over the past three thousand years. You are the only one to survive, and the only one to see through my illusions.”
Lanling said: “Do you know why I’ve co?”
The devilish fire said: “I know, you have co to devour .”
Lanling said: “Do you have anything to say? Like, if I devour you, my body will turn to ash or sothing?”
The devilish fire shook its head: “Of course not, because my power is all focused on sustaining this protective shield, I’m powerless to resist your devouring. You can consu effortlessly.”
“What do you an?” Lanling said.
The devilish fire shook its head and said: “Look below, look outside.”
Lanling, at the mountain peak, discovered a massive energy shield with a do-like structure of about a hundred miles in diater.
The world within the do’s protective shield was rotting, dark, and dood.
While outside the shield, the world was lush, filled with vibrant life.
Lanling said: “If I devour you, what will happen then?”
The devilish fire said: “Without the protective shield, the decay and darkness within will spread, swallowing the lively world outside. Eventually, thousands upon thousands of miles will be polluted, turning into a wasteland.”
Lanling said: “So the entire Barbaric Wilderness might get polluted and ultimately destroyed?”
The devilish fire said: “Probably.”
Lanling asked: “What is the root cause of the decay and darkness in this land?”
The devilish fire said: “Death, curse! The ancient battle here claid the lives of over a million Demon Race mbers, killed by betrayal, filled with resentnt.”
Lanling said: “So this area was nad Ghost Domain?”
“Yes,” the devilish fire said.
Lanling said: “From the outside, every day here appears to be a different season, with spring, sumr, autumn, and winter changing daily; is this also your doing?”
The devilish fire said: “Yes, it’s also a good desire. I hope this land can eventually regain its vitality!”
Then, after a slight hesitation, the devilish fire said: “Moreover, you are indeed the second person to appear before . Over three thousand years ago, another person appeared before , and that was real.”
“Dragon Emperor?” Lanling said.
“I do not know, perhaps!” the devilish fire said: “I didn’t know the person’s gender because he was shrouded in a black cloak, and his voice was indistinguishable between male and female. But he indeed ca, he could have devoured but ultimately did not and directly left.”
Lanling said: “Did he say anything to you when he left?”
The devilish fire said: “He said, ‘Decay is the vilest thing in this world,’ and then he left.”
Decay is the vilest thing in this world. This statent made Lanling’s heart skip a beat, prompting him to brush aside all thoughts.
Lanling said: “If I had just expressed my wish, what would happen?”
The devilish fire said: “I would fulfill your desires in the spiritual illusion, whether it’s world-destroying energy or the power of the king of kings, you could feel it in the spiritual realm, incredibly real, like a dream. Then, you would fall into my spiritual trap, never to reincarnate.”
Lanling said: “So what do you want to do now?”
The devilish fire said: “Leave here as if nothing happened.”
Then, Lanling saw an opening appear in the do-like shield of the Ghost Realm World, leading directly to the outside world.
Within the do, decay, revulsion, darkness, and gray despair.
Outside the opening, the world was lush, vibrant, and full of life.
Looking outside made one feel that this do shield must always exist, preventing the internal darkness and decay from polluting the land outside, preventing the entire Barbaric Wilderness from being utterly destroyed.
