Proud Ruler of the World

Chapter 158 - Affected Mind

As Chu Fanliang hugged Xiao Bai in her arms, Xiao Bai felt that something was off as well, but he did not stop him.

Xiao Bai jumped down to the ground, looking at Chu Fanliang who had a perplexed expression, she sighed, "This time, you can only rely on yourself."

Chu Zhi and the first stage Spirit Emperor were also sighing emotionally. They never thought that there would actually be such a person. As soon as they arrived, they encountered the summons of the Demonic Cave, and all those who came out of the Demonic Cave became true experts.

Of course, more people had died inside. Inside, there were tens of thousands of years of evil demons from the Mortal Realm, and there were many experts from the Spirit King. Amongst them, there was even an invincible Demonic Lord. The voice in Chu Fanliang's heart came from that Demonic Lord.

To be exact, the voice in Chu Fanliang's heart was not from the Demonic Cave, but rather his mind was affected by the Demonic Lord.

Chu Fanliang's heart was originally incomparably resolute, and even the Evil Universe could not be affected anymore. However, the main strength of the Demonic Lord lay in this ability to control one's mind.

One had to know that there were specializations in the art of cultivation. When one reached the Spirit Emperor realm, that kind of power would allow them to display the pinnacle of their abilities.

After controlling Chu Fanliang's mind, the only thing he could save was his own body.

Chu Zhi caused a ruckus in the Demonic Cave twenty years ago, and he had also walked in. After which, he went back to the state his mind was in, and in a few short breaths, he walked out of it.

To him, those few breaths were like hundreds of years. His own state of mind had also increased by a few hundred years.

These were things that no one other than Chu Zhi knew, and what about Chu Zhi's methods?

"Eh? You are not allowed to enter here, that is the Demonic Cave. " An elder of a Half-step Spirit Saint reminded him.

When he saw the crowd's gaze, he took back his previous sentence. Do you think that you're the only one with eyes and a mouth? Didn't you see that the Tower Lord and the other Great Elders didn't say anything?

His words had offended him. Chu Fanliang, however, did not hear his words, and instead, walked inwards bit by bit.

Outside the entrance of the Demonic Cave stood two mighty lions, but Chu Fanliang didn't care at all as he looked at the black hole and directly went in.

This black hole was also a formation that allowed one to enter but not exit. If he wanted to leave, then he would have to leave from the highest level and possess considerable strength.

These were all secondary, and most importantly, there was someone supporting them from outside.

As soon as Chu Fanliang entered, his originally blurry consciousness instantly collapsed. He himself, on the other hand, had entered another world.

He felt like a child back on Earth, that comfortable feeling, with the protection of his parents, it was very safe in his mother's arms.

Chu Fanliang was like a third party as he stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

No matter how he shouted, his mother could not hear him and continued to care for the child in her hands.

At this time, Chu Fanliang's heart was completely filled with that feeling, and a trace of wisdom emerged. Shaolin, after hearing a few lines of Shaolin's runes, Chu Fanliang suddenly remembered that time when the world was playing tricks on him.

He shouted loudly and woke up at this time, only to appear on the first floor of Demonic Cave.

A few blue-green colored Little Demons floated in the air, and when they floated in front of Chu Fanliang, they no longer advanced an inch, because these were all low level demons.

Chu Fanliang casually found a passage and headed upwards. The Little Demon Empress' strength had grown higher and higher. At first, Chu Fanliang felt it was easy, but the more it grew, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The demons were becoming more and more powerful, repeating more and more. Each floor had nine roads for him to choose from. With each floor he went up, there would be no passage to the next floor.

This was the first time he came out to battle alone without the protection of the Xiao Bai. However, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he continued to walk upwards.

Chu Fanliang's spirit energy was already gradually running out, but he realized that these little demons were actually all carved out from the same mold.

"Damn it, is this a scam?" "Still in the illusion. Break for me." Following Chu Fanliang's words, Chu Fanliang's own consciousness once again found a different place.

This was a competition grounds, and it was a true competition grounds. Chu Fanliang was surprised, could it be that Demonic Cave was in a competition grounds?

Before he could feel anything, his body lightened up and he appeared on the battling field.

However, what surprised him was that the people who died in his hands were on the other side of the martial arena. Even without 10,000 blood, there were still 8,000 of them. Some were enemies on the battlefield, and some were corrupt officials and landlords.

Chu Fanliang had always abided by his principles, and hence, he did not feel the slightest bit guilty.

They had relatives, but the corrupt officials and landlords he killed had broken up many families, some of them even more so than the poison of war.

Those people rushed towards Chu Fanliang, and a real spirit sword appeared in Chu Fanliang's hand, rushing towards them.

Like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Chu Fanliang had already killed all of them within the span of a few breaths. Finally, none of the enemies that he killed stood by his side. They all fell to the ground.

After a while, more people appeared on the martial field. However, this time, it was not his enemies, but the people closest to him.

Looking around, among the people close to forest dwelling, Chu Yunyan and Hua Rongrong were also there.

However, Chu Fanliang felt something unusual at this moment. He already knew that he was still in the illusion and wanted to get out.

Pu ci, a flexible sword pierced through Chu Fanliang's waist, causing blood to spurt out.

Chu Fanliang looked at the person who was thrusting towards him, and actually turned out to be Situ Youwei. However, Chu Fanliang did not understand, how could Situ Youwei appear and stab him?

He had never felt this kind of feeling before. His heart actually ached as well. He had only met Situ Youwei a few times, but he actually held such a high position in Chu Fanliang's heart.

A few short exchanges had actually made him feel this way. It seemed like Chu Fanliang had probably fallen for Situ Youwei.

He slowly closed his eyes, welcoming the incoming treasured sword.

"Haha!" I am indeed a genius! " Chu Fanliang laughed out loud. He was very happy that he had discovered this.

"What's wrong with this old beggar? Is he crazy?"

When Chu Fanliang heard the words of the people around him, he stopped laughing. Looking at the people around him, he realized that everyone was looking at him as if he was trash. Disgusting.

A child picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards Chu Fanliang.

"Swish!"

A stone flew towards Chu Fanliang. Sensing that the stone had arrived, he stood up and dodged to the side.

"Bang!" With the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground, Chu Fanliang fell to the ground, and then, the stone unerringly smashed into his forehead. Only now did Chu Fanliang realize that he couldn't use his power anymore, and his own body was like that of an old man in his sixties or seventies.

When the other children saw how easily Chu Fanliang was bullied, they all picked up their stones and threw them at Chu Fanliang.

Chu Fanliang was beaten until he was forced to flee. As he ran, he thought: I, Chu Fanliang, will actually be chased and beaten by a group of children.

He found an alley and got rid of that group of devilish kids, quietly sat by the wall. Chu Fanliang discovered that he had turned into an old man of around sixty to seventy years old, his entire body was smelly, skinny, his hair was a mess.

finally understood why everyone acted like that just now.

Chu Fanliang took a deep breath and was about to circulate his Qi, but he realized that his martial arts had been sealed, and could not be used at all.

"Hmph, sealing my martial arts, right? I can use my martial arts if I don't have to, but I have both civil and martial skills!"

"But I want to take a bath first. It's too smelly!"

Finished speaking, he stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the entrance of the alleyway with vigor and vigor.

After a few days within the illusion world, Chu Fanliang returned to the alley dejectedly.

"F * ck, what's going on? Why can't I get along with a single person?"

During these few days, Chu Fanliang thought of many ways to earn money, but, in the whole town, no one paid attention to him, not only did they ignore him, they even made things difficult for Chu Fanliang, and he was brought back here in just a few days.

This was the Demonic Lord's plan. He wanted to control the illusions and let the people who entered bear all kinds of negative emotions. When people could not endure it, their state of mind would collapse and the Demonic Lord would take advantage of this situation to enter and gain control of them.

Chu Fanliang lived in this little town for a few years, and in the end, frozen to death in an alleyway.

After Chu Fanliang's death, that feeling of going back and forth came again. Chu Fanliang experienced an endless amount of reincarnation, ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes. He had been reincarnated at the lowest level of society, suffering from oppression and despair. However, because of his exceptional mind and strong character, his heart was very strong. These negative experiences simply could not cause him to collapse.

After going through another reincarnation cycle, Chu Fanliang realized that he still had not come out from his environment, but was still in a strange place. There was no joy, anger, sadness, or sadness. There was only a dull feeling of indifference and indifference.

At this time, he felt an abnormal sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this scene before his eyes.

After thinking back carefully, he finally realized that this was actually part of the Hongbei Forest. But when did the people of the Great Northern Forest become so strong?

Not long after, Chu Fanliang appeared by the side of the Hongbei Forest like a third person. No matter how he shouted, the people from Hongbei Forest did not answer.

The Hongbei Forest was currently facing the twenty thousand people against a hundred thousand at the time. This time, the hundred thousand people directly rushed in without any obstructions.

But the reality had let him down, the man had slashed Chu Yunyan's body, and was going to continue watching.

Even though Chu Fanliang was tearing his lungs out, the person did not care about Chu Fanliang. Chu Fanliang was like a transparent person, he only knew their every move, but it was impossible for him to say that they were affected by his words.

"No!" Chu Fanliang screamed, his scream already making his voice hoarse.

After that, Chu Yunyan actually suffered heavy internal injuries, and Chu Fanliang's heart ached even more. Chu Fanliang's brain was already about to explode, but it still had not exploded.

Even if Chu Fanliang used his full strength, he would not be able to stop that man's wanton destruction.

Chu Fanliang's eyes gradually turned red, following that, Meng Gao also appeared in front of him. Similarly, the person that subdued him used a move to slash at his body.

Chu Fanliang finally erupted, and in the instant that Chu Fanliang erupted with power, the entire Demonic Cave had already begun to tremble from his fury.

Chu Fanliang punched the enemy with all his might, but the enemy did not feel anything.

To Chu Fanliang, the more he was like this, the more he felt insulted. Chu Fanliang's bloodshot eyes gradually recovered its color.

This was no other than Chu Fanliang discovering the accident himself. He had always believed that the array formation was responsible for everything that happened in front of him.

In reality, these were not array formations, but the methods of the Demonic Cave. How could Chu Fanliang defend against a Demonic Lord with the strength of a Spirit Emperor?

When the redness in his eyes disappeared, he realized that everything that had just happened was all a dream. It was like he was in a dream.

Even the current him couldn't escape from this dream. Only by controlling his own heart would he be able to easily walk out.

The first level wasn't as frightening and sinister as he had imagined. Many lesser demons were quietly doing their own work.

After seeing Chu Fanliang come in, some of them did not seem very surprised. They only raised their heads, and then lowered their heads to busy themselves with the matters in their hands.
