Chapter 204: Being Forgotten Was The Most Horrifying Death!

After confessing to his scheming earlier, this Demon felt even more uneasy. He had been trapped for 50 years and he was yearning to leave this cursed place.
Thus, he said, “I have a bigger bargaining chip for you. As long as I can come out from inside the bead, everything is not a problem.”
Before he was trapped in that place, he had hidden a rich treasure in the outside world. He was prepared to gift the whole treasure to Lu Yu
“That so-called treasure of yours is impractical until I see it. It will only be your bargaining chip when I do see it.”
Lu Yu gave a scornful laugh. He did not release this Demon from the bead, but he did not reject his proposal either, which made the Demon trapped in the bead breathe a sigh of relief. At the very least, he still had a chance to get out of this life of darkness.
With a nimble leap, Lu Yu jumped into the passage.
As his Illusionary Realm Kingdom broke through to the level of S-class, Lu Yu’s control of the hallucinogenic ability became more adept. He also obtained a clearer perception and understanding of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon’s illusion.
This illusionary realm that enveloped the entire Lunan City and the blood-sucking wasteland was not all encompassing. There were many spots that were exposed outside the illusionary realm. The reality and illusion overlapped, making it more difficult for people to distinguish between what was real and what was not.
The passage resembled a wormhole, and after traversing through the tunnel of light, Lu Yu landed steadily on the ground. The real sensation made Lu Yu frown. “I wonder where in the blood-sucking wasteland is this place?”
“The true and real, the false and fake. It is difficult to distinguish. Has that Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon become more powerful than before?”
The Demon trapped in the bead was horrified when he sensed everything in the outside world.
At this moment, the scene in front of Lu Yu had undergone some kind of imperceptible change. Whether it was the flowers and trees, or the water flowing between the mountains, they all gave people a sense of eeriness.
Eventually, this bizarre feeling became more and more pronounced. Suddenly, boom! Everything before Lu Yu’s eyes began collapsing and being violently drawn into a center spot like quicksand. Lu Yu unleashed a powerful aura, trying to stop himself from getting drawn in.
However, he found that it was a power similar to that of a mental-type attack, which he could not stop.
Purple Eye activated! Illusionary Realm Kingdom activated!
In an instant, Lu Yu activated his skills. His eyes glowed purple, and the Illusionary Realm Kingdom then expanded, covering all directions to stop this collapse.
“Only mental-type skills can stop this?” Lu Yu’s expression changed drastically. This was because the collapse from the outermost ring was getting more and more severe.
It was as if a large hand was stirring the quicksand, distorting space and turning everything into the purest matter. It was rapidly turning into a zone of darkness.
Only the area covered by his Illusionary Realm Kingdom remained stable. Outside the Illusionary Realm Kingdom, a violent outpouring of power was constantly squeezing his Illusionary Realm Kingdom. His realm was like an isolated island in the middle of the ocean, being constantly pounded by the monstrous breaking waves.
As the pressure became increasingly stronger, Lu Yu’s Illusionary Realm Kingdom was shaking. Cracks appeared everywhere rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it shattered.
That borderless darkness came rolling over ominously.
In an instant, the whole space became enveloped by darkness without any light, falling into a realm of eternal loneliness.
Lu Yu deployed his own mental power to check. He extended a few dozen meters out before he encountered a solid barrier. It was as if a bottle had trapped him securely.
More horrifying things had yet to come. In the silence of the darkness, a violent rattling suddenly rang out. With a murderous aura, a torrent of barb arrows came stabbing over.
With his sense of hearing and perception, Lu Yu turned his hand and slashed out with a ray of saber light, cutting off all these barb arrows.
However, soon, Lu Yu discovered with horror that he was losing his sense of hearing. The mental power he extended outwards was being squeezed until it shrank inward. In the end, his mental power was pushed back and it covered his own body. At this point, he could not hear any sound with his ears.
Those barb arrows shot out again. Utilizing his perception of danger, Lu Yu repelled the strikes time and again.
Nonetheless, with the passage of time, Lu Yu found that he was gradually losing his sense of perception as well.
“How can there be such a terrifying illusion? It can rob people of their senses!” The Demon in the bead was also experiencing all this and was extremely frightened. He said with a quivering voice, “If this continues, we will turn into ghost-like entities. No one can see me, and I won’t be able to see anyone.”
To be segregated from the world and lose all sensations to perceive this world! What was the difference between this and death?
No! This was more horrifying than death!
And at this moment, Lu Yu was not only losing his own senses, his memories were also gradually getting fuzzy.
One by one, the familiar faces and the people he knew were being extracted out of his mind. At this point, he was not dead, but he was experiencing something more terrible than death.
In the end, he would even forget his own existence. He would degenerate until he became completely indistinguishable from the greenery.
“These things are all part of my life. They are my experiences. No one can erase them from my mind.” When Giovanna, Lu Shan and Lu Shui gradually became blurred in Lu Yu’s mind, Lu Yu became incensed.
After activating his Ice Heart skill, a refreshing feeling came over his body. His mental state calmed down considerably at that point, and the speed of memory loss became much slower.
At the same time, the Berserk Body and Homo Draco Form were also activated. His defensive strength multiplied, and he was able to resist the attack in the darkness. Those barb arrows kept shooting at Lu Yu but were unable to break through his defense.
“It’s useless. It’s all in vain. The traces of our existence, and the perception of ourselves are rapidly disappearing. In no time, we will be no different from the walking dead.”
“Hahaha… To think that this is my final fate. I refuse to accept it!”
“Oh, 50 years! 50 years! Do you know how I’ve been living through these 50 years?”
“Let me out! I want to get out! Why should I be trapped in the dark without light for 50 years and then made to go through this?”
The Demon trapped in the bead had begun to break down emotionally. He could not accept that the moment he saw the light of day, his hope was extinguished again.
If Lu Yu wanted to fight this terrifying illusion, he would have to further strengthen his mental power, but Lu Yu could not do it in such a short time. “No! There is still a way!” Lu Yu was thinking of a way to save himself, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He took out the Demonic Armor from his interspatial ring.
This ominous armor was filled with the aura of calamity. All those who had worn it ended up losing their minds before dying under mysterious circumstances.
However, there was no denying that the mental power possessed by this set of armor exceeded Lu Yu’s imagination. Lu Yu, who used to have many lingering fears about this set of armor, did not have any hesitation at this moment. He put the armor on his body straightaway
A plume of black gas was released at once. It wrapped around Lu Yu’s body, and the eye sockets of the demonic skulls on the two spaulders radiated with a blood-red light.
The whole set of armor seemed to come to life, as if it had its own mind. When it fused with Lu Yu, Lu Yu could feel the armor on his body burning brutally onto his body like a branding iron. An overwhelmingly intense burning sensation swept over his body..
