Chapter 781 - 708: The Door to Illusion Realm_2
Both of them couldn’t help but grow tense!
“It must… it must be an illusion!”
Lin Banyang swallowed hard, forcibly steadying his mind, and said:
“No venture, no gain, Brother Wang, only by working together can we seize this opportunity!”
In fact, he was already feeling rather cowardly!
Wang Jiyun also forced himself to be brave and said:
“As God Emperors, we are invincible under the heavens! This place is merely an Illusion Realm, what is there to fear!”
“The stronger the illusion, the greater the opportunity hidden here!”
“Let’s go!”
Both mustered their courage and took another step forward!
The sixth step!
As soon as they set foot on it, both were startled.
Because when they looked up, they saw two figures kneeling on the steps ahead!
The figures, like drowned ghosts, were drenched in blood and water, a sight of extreme misery.
The two figures slowly turned their heads around.
To their horror, the faces of the figures were the spitting images of Lin Banyang and Wang Jiyun, but ghastly pale, bloodless, like ghosts that had been dead for days.
“Quick…”
“Retreat…”
The figures spoke mechanically, their voices hoarse!
In that moment, Wang Jiyun and Lin Banyang were so scared their hearts almost leapt out of their throats!
“I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it!”
Wang Jiyun gritted his teeth and roared:
“What illusion, it can’t scare me!”
“In the presence of a God Emperor, everything is an illusion!”
With a fierce palm strike, he attacked the two stone ghosts.
Upon seeing this, the dead ghostly Wang Jiyun suddenly revealed a sorrowful expression, and then he too raised his hand.
The real Wang Jiyun’s face changed drastically, for at that moment, he actually felt… the ghost’s power was stronger than his own!
With a palm collision, he was sent flying!
Lin Banyang’s face turned pale, what… what was going on?
This wasn’t an illusion!
Realizing this, and sensing something, he abruptly looked ahead, only to see that the “Lin Banyang” was no longer there.
Next moment, he let out a piercing, miserable scream.
At his feet… the ghostly Lin Banyang had at some point gripped his ankle and bit down viciously!
“Ah…”
Lin Banyang, wetting himself in fright, rolled straight down the stone steps!
Outside the stone steps.
Everyone was extremely shocked at this moment.
“What happened? Why did our God Emperor hit himself?”
Wang Xuantian was extremely shaken, as he clearly saw Wang Jiyun reach the sixth step and deliver a fierce palm strike to his own chest!
“Damn… what’s going on with the God Emperor? Gnawing at his own ankle?!”
Lin Lanfeng and the others were dumbfounded as they saw Lin Banyang stand on one leg in the Golden Rooster Stance, then bring his right foot to his mouth and bite down hard!
Then Lin Banyang could no longer keep his balance and tumbled down the steps of that world, rolling smoothly along…
Everyone was shocked.
“What’s going on?”
“What did the two God Emperors encounter?”
“Can even the God Emperors not pass these steps?”
While the crowd was discussing, the Wang Family and Lin Family hurriedly rushed forward to help their respective God Emperors up.
“God Emperor… why did you hit yourself?”
Wang Xuantian asked Wang Jiyun.
Wang Jiyun was still in shock, and upon hearing Wang Xuantian’s words, he was astonished and said:
“You saw… it was I who hit myself?”
Wang Xuantian nodded.
Wang Jiyun suddenly looked ahead, his eyes filled with horror, and said:
“This… is still an illusion!”
“So strong!”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Lin Lanfeng helped Lin Banyang up, and tentatively asked:
“Ancestor… did you just… did you just get foot odor?”
Lin Banyang, still shaken, said:
“What foot odor?”
Lin Lanfeng said:
“God Emperor, you just bit your own foot…”
On hearing this, Lin Banyang was also stunned… Did he bite it himself?
“Could it be that just now, what I experienced was still…”
He murmured, and before he knew it, he had unknowingly entered the Illusion Realm!
That’s terrifying!
“Ancestor, should we find someone to bite it for you? Does your foot still itch?”
Lin Lanfeng asked “considerately.”
Lin Banyang became furious at these words and said:
“Idiot, would you use your mouth to bite when you have athlete’s foot? Scram!”
Lin Lanfeng sheepishly left, while a hint of confusion seemed to linger in his eyes as he said:
“Not needed?”
…
“Have… have these two gone crazy?”
On the other side, Wu Dade saw this scene and was also puzzled.
They’re seriously messed up, one trying to annihilate himself with a wave of his hand, and the other biting his own foot…
“Hmph… overestimating themselves, Sister Fox… no, Sister Hu’s territory, who can contaminate it? Such a pity, these two ants are too weak, only making it to the sixth stage before they couldn’t hold out anymore, and the real show hasn’t even started…”
Big Black Dog was scoffing and jeering, utterly disdainful!
…
Even in a certain secret location.
“Damn it… are these two fellows insane?”
God Emperor Shule Haochi was completely baffled.
He himself, along with Ao Wushuang, had had a smooth journey, so why did these two encounter so many problems…
And self-harm… it’s like they’ve lost their minds!
He was very troubled.
And behind him, Ao Wushuang was also very troubled.
He had been on edge, waiting for an opportunity.
This time, a single slip-up could very likely land them in the hands of Big Black Dog, so he silently reminded himself to be careful and cautious, to bide his time, to seize the opportunity, and to strike with certainty!
…
“Brother Lin,”
At this moment, standing at the bottom of the stairs, Lin Lanfeng had already risen to his feet and said:
“There’s something fishy here!”
Lin Banyang also stood up, nodded, feeling his foot still hurting, thinking he really bit hard!
“Indeed… You and I, I fear, cannot get through!”
Wang Jiyun nodded and said, then suddenly pointed at Su Baiqian on the other side, saying:
“Just now, when she was on this stair… it seemed like the heavy fog dispersed!”
“Let her try again!”
His expression was grim!
Lin Banyang nodded and immediately looked at Su Baiqian and said:
“Young lady… walk through it again!”
…
Before I say goodnight, let’s talk about something else… some ramblings:
As of today, “Fantasy: I’m Really Not the Greatest Expert,” this book, has finally surpassed the two million word mark.
2,000,537 words!
A total of 708 chapters, with an average of 2,826 words per chapter.
Since the upload of the first chapter on October 27, 2020, it has taken 285 days, with an average daily update of 7,019 words.
At this point, to be honest, I already feel very weary, having lost the initial passion and sense of creation, quite exhausted.
In fact, it’s really hard to write, this kind of fantasy novel is plentiful, but to reach two million words and still not have the story completely collapse… perhaps there are very few, maybe none.
Up to today, I can proudly say, there are many books of this genre, but the content and story of “Fantasy: I’m Really Not the Greatest Expert” are unique.
In this genre, it was someone’s contribution that led to the creation of many new techniques, new methods, and new forms of expression…
Oh well, enough of the narcissism, I won’t say more, or else readers all over the world will know that I’m even more handsome than Li Fan.
The story is halfway through now, and I definitely can’t leave it unfinished, I can tolerate people criticizing my shortcoming, but I can’t tolerate being cursed as a eunuch or a hack writer.
So, I must keep striving, keep persevering.
Hang in there.
While enduring, I also need to adjust and relax a bit, to free my soul from this fatigue and continue creating better plots.
I’m saying all this because I need a rest, so if the updates aren’t as frequent… please understand.
That’s all.
Thank you everyone for your company along the way; allow me to unabashedly ask for a round of rewards.
Goodnight.
