Chapter 502: I dare not open my eyes, I hope it is my hallucination

After muttering to himself, Hui Nian did not engage in any further communication with Liang Yu, as if completely immersed in his own world.

He suddenly sat cross-legged, like an old monk in deep meditation, and floated steadily in mid-air.

At the same time, the Golden Body Chan Master beside him seemed to be influenced by Hui Nian, and surprisingly, he also imitated him, sitting cross-legged and floating in mid-air.

Although the Golden Body Chan Master’s body had shrunk significantly, it still appeared exceptionally tall compared to an ordinary person.

Its massive body was like a mountain, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The Golden Body, which was originally floating in the air, seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly moving towards Hui Nian.

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Body completely enveloped Hui Nian, as if he had put on a layer of golden armor.

This scene not only amazed people but also made them realize that this might be a special way for the Golden Body Chan Master to protect Hui Nian.

As he began to sigh, Hui Nian, enveloped by the Golden Body Chan Master, began to chant scriptures.

Those obscure and difficult-to-understand scriptures were not their native language of communication; instead, they were more like the language from the country of India.

If his judgment was not wrong, the other party was chanting Sanskrit at this moment.

“आर्यावलोकितेश्वरो बोधिसत्त्वो गंभीरायां प्रज्ञापारमितायां चर्यां।”

“चरमाणो व्यवलोकयति स्म, पञ्च स्कन्धास्तांश्च स्वभावशून्यान् पश्यति स्म।”

……………

Liang Yu listened with his scalp tingling, unable to understand a single word.

After listening for two or three minutes, Liang Yu could no longer stand it, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

He directly ran to another corner, away from Hui Nian, who was chanting scriptures.

In Liang Yu’s mind, Hui Nian was unreliable, and to escape, he still needed to rely on himself.

At the same time, he also understood a saying: only magic can defeat magic.

The Aurora Sword in Liang Yu’s hand had been replaced by the immortal Wangshu Sword at some point.

He slowly closed his eyes within the Emperor Armor, recalling the sword moves from a certain novel.

Especially the true meaning of this sword.

To cut off destiny, to cut off shackles.

If I hold this unyielding will, I can cut off all hesitation and helplessness.

To cut off the fear and gloom in my heart.

This heart is clear, traversing the mortal world.

This is the soul of “One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.”

Now he would use this sword in his hand to cut off all the illusions in his eyes.

There was no one to disturb him at all now. The moment he closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on comprehending the deep meaning within, the Wangshu Sword, which he held tightly in his hand, suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if awakened by a mysterious force.

This trembling was very subtle at first, but as time passed, it became increasingly obvious, as if Wangshu was also feeling that profound meaning along with him.

Immediately after, an astonishing scene occurred—the blade of Wangshu began to emit a faint light. Although this light was not strong, it was enough for people to perceive its existence.

And under the illumination of Wangshu’s light, Liang Yu was surprised to find that wisps of sword intent were continuously converging on Wangshu.

These sword intents were like clear springs, flowing from all directions, eventually converging into a trickling stream and pouring into Wangshu.

As the sword intent continuously gathered, the light of the Wangshu Sword became even more dazzling.

Just as the Wangshu Sword’s light reached its peak, Liang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with determination and resolve.

He raised the Wangshu Sword high, and a sharp sword qi instantly cut through the void, slashing towards the surrounding illusory realm.

“One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!!!”

Wherever the sword qi passed, cracks began to appear in the illusory realm, like a shattered mirror.

At the same time, the Golden Body Chan Master on Hui Nian’s body also bloomed with an even more brilliant golden light, seemingly assisting Liang Yu’s strike.

Under the dual impact of the sword qi and golden light, the surrounding illusory realm gradually collapsed and dissipated.

Liang Yu and Hui Nian’s figures reappeared clearly in a familiar yet real space.

They succeeded in breaking the illusion left by the Witch God.

However, after the countless fragments of the illusion disintegrated, Liang Yu looked at the scene he saw in the city and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He even muttered to himself.

“I must be under too much pressure.”

“Or maybe I opened my eyes in the wrong way.”

“Hmm, this time I’ll open my right eye first, it definitely won’t be like that just now.”

However, when Liang Yu opened his eyes again, the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

He was not wearing the Emperor Armor at this moment, but the original Fiery Dragon Armor, and the vines that bound him had been cut.

Hui Nian, wrapped by the Golden Body Chan Master beside him, was not in any danger.

However, this was limited to the two of them.

The others were not so lucky, and Liang Yu didn’t have time to worry about anyone else at this moment.

His eyes, swift as lightning, instantly shifted their gaze from other places and locked tightly onto the location where the flower bud was when he first met the Witch God.

However, when he fixed his gaze, a surge of astonishment and shock welled up in his heart.

The flower bud that should have been there had now disappeared without a trace!

In its place stood a towering Giant Tree, reaching into the clouds, like an unshakeable mountain.

The trunk of this Giant Tree was incredibly thick, as if it were pieced together from countless massive pillars, and he couldn’t remember when such a Giant Tree appeared here.

Even more shocking was that the branches of this Giant Tree, like countless winding snakes, stretched out from the trunk and spread throughout the entire city.

These branches were dense and intertwined, forming a massive net that enveloped the entire city.

Liang Yu’s eyes widened as he followed these branches, only to see that their ends were wrapped around desiccated corpses that had been drained of their blood.

These desiccated corpses were pale and lifeless, as if their life essence had been sucked dry by this Giant Tree.

He activated the Emperor Magnetic Field to sense the surrounding situation, and basically ninety-eight percent of the people had already become desiccated corpses, turning into nourishment for the Giant Tree.

However, one point greatly puzzled Liang Yu.

He and Hui Nian had been out of the predicament for so long, yet as the master of this Giant Tree, the mysterious Witch God had not appeared!

This was truly too strange, Liang Yu pondered to himself.

One must know that for Liang Yu, the threat posed by a hidden god was extremely immense.

After all, gods possessed extraordinary power, and no one knew when or where he would suddenly appear and bring them unexpected disaster.

Because of this, Liang Yu dared not make the slightest rash move at this moment.

He knew deeply that a slight carelessness could attract the Witch God’s attention, thereby falling into an irreversible situation.

Therefore, even seeing those still surviving people suffering, he could only helplessly watch from afar, not daring to risk going forward to rescue them.
