Chapter 2503: Chapter 2492: Encounter in the Illusory Realm
Wu Chengyan supported Ye Chenfeng.
Jiang Shengliang’s gaze also fixed on Ye Chenfeng.
Their eyes were filled with an incomparably intense shock; as the current patriarchal ancestors of the Wus and the Jiangs, they naturally had a certain breadth of knowledge.
He could feel that just now, within that seven-colored radiance was the aura of the sky, and within that single drop of blood was the aura of the earth.
They immediately thought of the Star Sky Stone and the Seven Colored Divine Spring.
Only the heart of the sky and the blood of the earth could deceive the probing of the Heavenly Dao.
More importantly, that seven-colored radiance had just erupted from the position of Ye Chenfeng’s heart—that was to say, Ye Chenfeng had already let the Star Sky Stone replace his own heart?
This made Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang suck in a cold breath; although there had been people in the past who obtained the Star Sky Stone, no one had ever been able to let the Star Sky Stone replace their heart.
As for the present Ye Chenfeng, he truly and genuinely possessed a heart of the sky.
They had of course also seen that the Seven Colored Divine Spring in Ye Chenfeng’s body had yet to truly merge into his blood.
If one day.
The Seven Colored Divine Spring could also merge into his blood, then what would Ye Chenfeng become?
Wu Chengyan and Jiang Shengliang’s minds were buzzing; at this moment, even Jiang Shengliang, who had originally not been too approving of Ye Chenfeng, was constantly swallowing his saliva.
However, they still felt that Ye Chenfeng’s late sixth level Earth God Realm strength really was a bit low; although they had previously witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s battle during the branch competition.
Old White, Wu Fengxian, and Old Black, Jiang Yuntian, truly could not sense where anything was wrong with Ye Chenfeng.
Among them, Old White, Wu Fengxian, said, "First lay this little fellow flat on the ground. If within a day this little fellow still doesn’t wake up, then by that time we’ll have to think of some way."
And at this moment.
Ye Chenfeng had entered a very wondrous state.
He only felt his consciousness drifting and drifting, as if it were suspended in midair.
When his consciousness could finally sense the things around him.
He saw his consciousness arrive beside a lake; where was there still any trace of Old White and Old Black around?
This lake was extremely vast; at a glance one couldn’t see its end at all, as if it simply had no end.
Around this lake was a boundless whiteness.
He couldn’t make out what kind of environment this was around him.
Ye Chenfeng turned to survey his surroundings, and when he turned back, the look in his eyes suddenly hardened.
Originally, there had been no one at all before the lake.
But at this moment, he saw an old man in black sitting before the lake, a fishing rod in his hand, fishing at the lakeside.
Ye Chenfeng guessed that his consciousness had entered some kind of Illusory Realm.
"The fish has taken the bait."
A low voice echoed through the air.
The black-robed old man wore a bamboo hat on his head; his hand holding the fishing rod gave a tug, and Ye Chenfeng saw a severed head clamped tightly around the hook.
The old man removed the head from the hook, then casually tossed it back into the lake, muttering to himself, "You’re the greediest one."
Ye Chenfeng focused his gaze.
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter as he slowly made out the situation within the lake before him.
The water in this lake was very clear.
However, what was swimming in this lake were not fish, but one head after another.
These heads were vividly alive, as if they were fish.
"Who are you? What is this place?" Ye Chenfeng asked cautiously.
The black-robed old man did not look back. "Is who I am really that important? To act against heaven is not a good thing. This world has laws that belong to it; once you exceed those laws, then you should vanish."
"Possessing my heart and blood, doesn’t it feel quite good?"
When these words fell.
Ye Chenfeng’s body suddenly tensed. "You are this heaven and earth?"
The old man’s voice was low. "What do you think?"
"Did you think that possessing my heart and blood could truly hide you from me? I’ve been this heaven and earth for countless ages, and now I understand more and more what loneliness means."
"The fact that you could possess my heart and blood might also be something destined."
"You even became the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader."
"It seems many things are no longer within the range of my control."
Looking at the black-robed old man who never turned his head, the nerves in Ye Chenfeng’s mind were taut the entire time; he had not expected to encounter the true master of this heaven and earth within the Illusory Realm.
It should be this black-robed old man who had drawn his consciousness in here.
"Back then, the Dragon Clan attempted to defy the heavens and change fate, attempted to share the lifespan of heaven and reach Eternal Life—was that not a violation of the natural laws?"
"In this world, only I can live on forever, eternally existing."
"If the Dragon Clan were to reach Eternal Life, then they would be able to interfere with the Heavenly Dao; by then, wouldn’t the laws fall into utter chaos?"
"Letting the Dragon Clan decline was the best solution."
Ye Chenfeng didn’t understand what the other party meant, but now that his consciousness was already here, he had no way out. "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Don’t worry, at the moment I have no designs on you, otherwise would you still be able to stand here and talk to me?"
"I just find you very interesting."
"It’s been a very, very long time since anyone dared come to oppose me. You must also want to reach Eternal Life, right? Then one day you will definitely oppose me. I also want to stretch my limbs a bit."
"As you are now, you are far too weak to me, far too weak."
"I will wait for you to grow. I hope that when the time comes, you can have a hearty, all-out battle with me."
Hearing the black-robed old man’s words, Ye Chenfeng’s thoughts were in turmoil. He had never imagined that this heaven and earth would be an old man, that it was this old man before him who controlled all the laws of this world.
The black-robed old man hooked another head; as before, he casually tossed the head back into the lake. "Do you know what this lake is called?"
Without waiting for Ye Chenfeng to answer.
The black-robed old man continued murmuring to himself, "This lake is called the Lake of the Next Life."
"Everyone has a present life and a next life. Those who die and whose souls do not remain in the Lower Realm, they will enter the Lake of the Next Life; once they have eaten enough bait, they can enter the next cycle of reincarnation."
"One day in the future, you may also enter the Lake of the Next Life."
"As the Dragon Clan’s Clan Leader, you surely want to avenge the Dragon Clan, don’t you? You surely also want to reach Eternal Life, don’t you?"
"Then hurry up and kill me."
"Only when I die."
"Will the wish in your heart be fulfilled."
"I will be here waiting for you."
The black-robed old man never once turned around. With a light sweep of his sleeve toward Ye Chenfeng—
An ultimate power instantly surged toward Ye Chenfeng.
