"Brother Qi … have you succeeded or not?"
Ning stared at the Blackmountain Seal hovering in the air, not saying a word.
"Young master, to leave this world … do we really have to sever everything from this world? Young master, I don't want to sever Xiaoqian's life, nor do I want to sever Ning Caichen's life. "
Spring Grass looked towards Ning, her eyes filled with boundless love. "Whether in the past or the present, Xiaoqian or Spring Grass, they are both me! Why do I have to sever my own memories? I … I don't want to forget all of this! "
"Qi Heng's method might be correct for him, but it might not be for us!"
Yu Wei shook her head. "Reality and illusion are different in everyone's eyes. Qi Heng feels that the memories of this world are illusions, that they are fake. However, I feel that my heart is the only real thing. "
"It's definitely different!"
Ning turned his head, smiling towards the two. "Brother Qi feels that this is a painting. Only by erasing all traces of yourself within the painting can you leave it. Severing all illusions and revealing the truth is indeed the correct thing to do. But why do you have to sever me? Since this world is an illusion, then … let's sever it! "
"Alright! My heart is the only real thing. My heart is the only one. Junior apprentice-brother, let's sever this world together! "
Yu Wei gripped her sword hilt, sword-intent erupting from her entire body.
"Whether it's a dream or an illusion, it doesn't matter where it is. As long as I can stay by your side, that's enough! "
Spring Grass stood behind Ning, a smile on her face. "I don't care about the result. I only care about the process. Everything that I experience with you, young master … this is my reality. "
Rumble …!
Right at this moment, an enormous explosion could be heard from the horizon!
A cold wind howled angrily, a black fog roiled, and a vast, boundless aura filled the skies!
"You have caused chaos in the Netherworld. Unforgivable!"
A black aura filled the skies, and a middle-aged man wearing a flat crown and black imperial robes appeared. He stood in mid-air atop a black cloud, his face filled with rage as he stared at Ning's group.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
Behind the Emperor-robed man, an endless amount of dark clouds began to howl. A dense mass of countless ghostly soldiers formed into an enormous military formation, surrounding the group.
"Ning …"
"Young Master …"
Yu Wei and Chun Cao's faces turned pale as they saw the King of Hell's monstrous aura and the endless ghost soldiers in front of them.
Previously, it was Qi Heng who had joined forces with hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers to activate the Black Mountain Seal of Imperial Lord East Mountain. Only then had they broken through the obstruction and found the Three Lives Stone.
Now … Qi Heng was gone, the Black Mountain Seal was ownerless, and those hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers …
"Eh? Where are the demon soldiers? Where are the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers that Qi Heng brought over? "
Ning suddenly realized that the hundreds of thousands of monstrous soldiers surrounding the Three Lives Stone had actually … disappeared!
"Hahahaha! Sure enough, everything was an illusion! Then … I'll cut down all these fabrications! "
Ning raised his longsword, causing the five-colored sword-light to surge into the skies. He turned his head to look at Spring Grass and Yu Wei. "It will definitely be extremely difficult to annihilate this world. Senior Martial Sister, Chun Cao, this road is extremely dangerous and difficult. Do you … want to go with me? "
"If you live, I live. If you die, I die!"
Spring Grass didn't hesitate at all, taking a step forward and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Ning.
"It's not the first time we've gone through life and death together! Why do you need to ask? "
Yu Wei raised her longsword, standing by Ning's side.
"Then … kill!"
Leaping into the air, Ning let out an angry roar and brandished his longsword. The all-annihilating sword-light howled through the air, chopping viciously towards the army of ghostly soldiers in front of him.
Battle! Endless, unending battle! Endless, unending battle!
He didn't know how long he had fought for, or how many ghostly soldiers he had killed. He had used up all of his ki and used up all of his pills. His entire body was covered with wounds, and in many places, his white bones could be seen.
Ning was still holding on. He was still fighting!
But … Spring Grass was no longer able to hold on! Yu Wei was no longer able to hold on either!
Spring Grass's soul body was already on the verge of dissipating, while Yu Wei could barely stand.
"The path to annihilating the world truly is incomparably difficult! It isn't enough to have the heart to annihilate the world; I also need the power to annihilate the world! "
Ning's heart was filled with unwillingness!
My choice is my heart! My path is definitely not wrong! However, my strength is not enough. I still cannot destroy this dreamscape … eh? Dreamscape?
"Hahahaha! I understand now! I understand now! Everything is an illusion! Thus … "
Ning raised his head. He stared at the endless horde of ghostly soldiers in front of him, then stared at Emperor Yama, whose divine aura filled the heavens. A hint of a smile appeared on his face. "Thus … your power … is also illusory! Your very existence … is an illusion! "
"Sword of Annihilation, sever all illusions!"
A vast, five-colored light soared into the heavens, sweeping out like a furious tide. It filled the skies, blotting out the earth.
Under the sweeping power of this annihilation light, the countless ghostly soldiers, the mighty Yama-King, and even the entire Netherworld Kingdom itself … all of them vanished into thin air!
Everything … had been an illusion!
Crunch!
The sound of space shattering could be heard. The cold, dark Netherworld Kingdom was like a shattered mirror, shattering into pieces and disintegrating into nothingness.
"We … succeeded?"
Upon seeing this, the dying Spring Grass and Yu Wei's bodies trembled. They looked towards Ning, their faces filled with delight.
"We succeeded! But there's still someone we need to meet! "
Ning nodded, then looked at the three of them, their bodies covered with wounds. He shook his head. "Everything is an illusion! The Netherworld Kingdom is an illusion. The mortal world is an illusion as well. In fact … even the wounds on our bodies are an illusion! "
With a wave of his hand, all of the wounds on his body instantly healed, leaving behind not a single scar.
"The wounds on your bodies are an illusion as well!"
With a wave of his sleeve, a strange surge of energy swept out, instantly healing the wounds on Yu Wei and Spring Grass as well.
"Eh? Faith energy? Just because I believe that there are no wounds, there must be no wounds? This fellow, Ji Ning, truly lives up to his reputation as the Chosen of the Heavens! He was actually able to gain insights into faith energy from this place! "
Upon seeing this, Li Yu laughed and nodded.
So long as one's faith was firm, so long as one believed that their wounds were fake, then they wouldn't be wounded. This was because … this world was fake to begin with. Everything was fake!
But to ensure that others weren't wounded as well … that wasn't easy! This meant that Ning had already gained a basic understanding of faith energy.
"Let's go. Let's leave the Netherworld Kingdom!"
Ning reached out to grab Yu Wei and Spring Grass, then took a single step forward, leaving the crumbling Netherworld Kingdom and returning to the mortal world.
"Distance … is an illusion as well!"
Raising his head to look at the world around him, Ning chuckled, then took another step forward.
The world changed. In the blink of an eye, Ning's group of three appeared within a vast sea.
"Greetings, Lord Water God!"
Beneath the sea, within a towering, extravagant palace. Ninelotus was seated high above, and countless aquatic monsters were kneeling before her.
"Ninelotus, have you lost yourself in an illusion?"
Ning's group of three suddenly, noiselessly appeared within the palace. Ning stared at the awe-inspiring Ninelotus seated high above him, then sighed and shook his head.
Ninelotus … she isn't the same type of person as me!
Ning let out a long sigh. This' first girlfriend 'of his would most likely become an' ex-girlfriend '.
