"My son …" Lu Sheng held the wrinkled infant in his arms and lifted him high into the air. He looked at him carefully under the moonlight.
In the thick aura of life, the Yuanguang Family's Burning Bloodline surprised him. Apart from that, there was also a strong aura of the same origin as his Yang Essence. The two bloodline powers were evenly matched. They intertwined and stabilized all the organs in the baby's body.
"He's really blessed by the heavens …" Lu Sheng sighed.
"Have you thought of a name?" Lu Quanan's face was full of smiles as he took the baby.
"I have. Let's call him Ning, Lu Ning. Simple. I hope he can live a peaceful and happy life." Lu Sheng sighed. Looking at Second Mother and the rest smiling like flowers around the baby, an indescribable happiness welled up in his heart.
He turned and walked into the room. He sat beside Chen Yunxi, who had calmed down, and held her hand lightly.
"Thank you, Yunxi."
Chen Yunxi couldn't speak at all. She could only nod weakly.
"Go to sleep. Rest well." Lu Sheng brushed her eyelids, and Chen Yunxi fell into a deep sleep.
After that, there was a celebration within the clan, and so did the sects. Then, the experts he was on good terms with all sent gifts as well. Even the Thousand Sun Sect in Moling Prefecture City, which had been at odds with Lu Sheng, sent gifts.
The entire Autumn Moon County held a feast for nine days, spending countless resources. Then, Lu Sheng sent a drop of Lu Ning's blood to Yuanguang Yuan for a bloodline check. This quickly caught the attention of the Yuanguang Family. This little guy's bloodline was much thicker than Lu Sheng's. This was a Son of Burning with great potential.
Soon, the Yuanguang Family sent people to take Lu Ning away, but they were stopped by Lu Sheng. After the two sides discussed the details of the cooperation, the Yuanguang Family quickly left.
As for Lu Sheng, he finally took care of everything and went to the Gate of Illusion that needed to be guarded.
…
Three years later … East Sea.
Island of Illusion.
In the middle of the lush green island, there was a large area of beautiful and simple pavilions, all built with red bricks, white tiles, and bluestones.
Lu Sheng was meditating in his bedroom with his eyes closed. He was wearing a gray robe and a tall black crown on his head. There was a gray gem embedded in the middle of the crown.
It had been more than two years since he came to the Illusory Sky Island. Only after arriving here did he realize that something was wrong.
This was not only the place that guarded the Gate of Illusion, but also the underground of the Island of Illusion, which was said to be extremely terrifying and powerful.
Including him, there were a total of four Saint Lords, and they were the only ones suppressing this place. There were no subordinates or servants, just the four of them.
Apart from the four of them, all other living beings, including demonic beasts, could not survive here.
What worried Lu Sheng the most was that the Gate of Illusion was in an extremely unstable state. He had only been guarding it for two years, but the range of the Gate of Illusion's fluctuations had more than doubled. Moreover, the door seemed to be resonating with another door.
Whoosh …
Opening his eyes, Lu Sheng slowly got off the bed and stood up. He glanced at the timing disc hanging on the wall. After calculating the time in his mind, he silently got off the bed, straightened his robe, opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door was a pure green primeval forest. There were fine spores floating in the air, but there was no sound of insects or birds.
Lu Sheng walked along the corridor outside the room with familiarity. After walking for hundreds of steps and turning a corner, he came to the side of an empty and spacious square.
In the middle of the square, there was a neat hexagonal pond. The pond was full of light blue water. At this time, the water was slowly and silently rotating, revealing a particularly deep, dark whirlpool in the center.
"You're here?" Standing by the pond were three strange people dressed like Lu Sheng, all wearing gray robes and tall crowns.
Lu Sheng took a step forward and stood with the three people, watching the slowly rotating water in the pond below.
"Has the gap opened again?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
"It has been open for a while. Two evil beings came out, and Xingyun and I took care of them," a gray-robed woman replied in a low voice.
"Two?" Lu Sheng frowned slightly. He could see that his three companions were struggling, and one of them seemed to be injured.
He had seen the evil beings that came out of this place before. They were extremely powerful. They could not react to the spiritual attacks of the Divine Lords, and could only use physical attacks to defend themselves.
These evil beings also had powerful shields similar to the Black Membrane. The stronger ones even had the extremely troublesome Hidden Claw.
Hidden Claw was the name given by the Divine Lords here to these Evil Spirits' ultimate attack.
It was a weapon that could not be seen or felt, but it could completely destroy all flesh and blood vitality that it came into contact with.
"It's coming!" Liu Xingyun, one of the Four Divine Lords, reminded.
Lu Sheng focused and stared at the whirlpool in front of him.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a dark blue figure with a hint of black shot out from the black hole in the center of the whirlpool. It flew into the sky, trying to get away from the four people guarding it.
"Let me!" The only female Divine Lord among the four, Qi Xiu, reached out with her right hand. A triangular symbol that looked like a plum blossom appeared on her jade-white palm, and she blocked the evil being's path.
Ding!
The evil being hit her arm, and a crisp metallic sound was heard. A circle of jade-white ripples exploded between the two, and a plum blossom pattern appeared in the ripples.
The evil being was blocked from the front, and its body fell diagonally to the side of the courtyard. It took a direct hit from a Divine Lord, but it did not even pause for a moment. It turned around and pounced on another Divine Lord as soon as it landed.
Chi, chi, chi. Several red laser-like True Essence shot out, and accurately hit the evil being's head. It staggered backward, and almost fell to the ground.
"Kill it!"
Lu Sheng took a few steps forward, and his arm suddenly transformed into a sharp black claw. He grabbed at the evil being.
"Ke Duka Seal!!" The evil being suddenly let out a final roar.
Boom!!!
In that instant, the red light exploded, and a ball of high-temperature light with countless feather-like fragments exploded.
Lu Sheng's body, which had just charged forward, was pushed back by the huge impact. His upper body's arms were in front of him, and the skin on his arms was showing signs of melting.
"Are you alright!? Lu Sheng! " Liu Xingyun rushed over, and his fingers left afterimages as he drew a rune in the air. The rune exploded into countless green spots of light, and covered the wound on Lu Sheng's arm.
But the effect made Liu Xingyun sigh inwardly. His Rune Secret Art would have been enough to revive the dead if it had been in an ordinary area, but here …
He looked at the dissolved skin on Lu Sheng's arm, and felt helpless as it absorbed the green light at an extremely slow speed to recover.
"There's only one this time. It should be done." He turned around and continued to look at the vortex.
"Don't be careless. I noticed a while ago that the evil beings are appearing more and more frequently. I'm afraid there might be some changes." Divine Lord Qixiu reminded in a low voice.
"Could it be that there are changes in the other places?" Divine Lord Great Demon Ouyang Huo, who hadn't made a move yet, frowned.
"It's hard to say." Qixiu was also puzzled. Logically speaking, there shouldn't have been any big news recently. The Gate of Illusion would not allow for any changes.
But the situation now was exactly the same as when the other doors had major changes. Whenever there was chaos in the world, the other doors would have problems, and the Gate of Illusion would change at the same time.
These evil beings were not ordinary characters. Once one of them was leaked, they could split and reproduce on their own. In a few days, they could reproduce hundreds of their original bodies with the same strength.
These evil beings had hard shells that were extremely troublesome even for Divine Lords. They also had tyrannical speed and terrifying strength, and they would explode crazily before dying.
If they were released, not to mention whether the other Divine Lords would be able to stop them, even if they did, it would cause countless disasters.
The four of them kept watch for a while, and noticed that the vortex was gradually shrinking, and no evil beings were coming out. They immediately relaxed.
"Looks like there won't be any problems today." Liu Xingyun sighed in relief.
"Come to think of it. What's on the other side of the vortex? Do any of you know? "Divine Lord Qixiu asked, puzzled.
Lu Sheng shook his head, and Ouyang Huo also shook his head slightly.
Liu Xingyun, however, pondered.
"I've heard some news recently. The newly discovered Evil Spirit Gate seems to be related to the Gate of Illusion and the Gate of Cloud. It might be a new land that connects to our human world after the World of Pain. "
"You can't say that. In fact, the World of Pain is also a part of our planet. But these evil beings … are completely different. Their bodies are far stronger than all known local creatures. Even the Devil Realm Crimson Dragon cannot be this tough. The Devil Realm Crimson Dragon lives in the most harsh volcanoes near the Demonic Abyss. Even the powerful creatures that naturally evolved in such a harsh environment cannot compare to these evil beings. It's obvious that their living environment is far worse than the Devil Realm, "Qixiu analyzed seriously.
"What if it's not a natural evolution, but a man-made one?" Lu Sheng suddenly interrupted.
The three of them immediately fell into deep thought.
What kind of being could create such a horrifying creature? This topic was terrifying. The moment the three Divine Lords thought about it, they felt their hearts skip a beat.
The vortex was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to close completely.
"Alright, let's go. Today's mission is complete. If the three of you are interested, you can come to the Crow Sky Pavilion as guests. I've picked up some good stuff recently, and it can go well with wine," Liu Xingyun said with a smile.
"Then we won't refuse." Qixiu was the first to agree. Her biggest hobby was eating. She had tasted almost everything in the world that could be eaten.
Lu Sheng smiled. Just as he was about to reply, he suddenly caught sight of the whirlpool in the pond from the corner of his eye.
"Not good!" His body suddenly transformed, and he entered the Yin Yang Fusion state. At the same time, his hand touched the black raven sculpture.
Suddenly, a huge, pitch-black shadow rushed out of the deep blue vortex. The shadow materialized into several ten-meter-long and several-meter-thick sinister-looking arms, which fiercely grabbed at the four of them.
The arms spread open, and the palms were densely packed with triangular runes that looked like stars. They were all kinds of Divine Weapon runes!
There were tens of thousands of Divine Weapon runes on the palm alone, and all of them shone with different colors.
"It's a black arm! Run! " Liu Xingyun's expression changed drastically when he saw this. He turned around and tried to escape, but his entire body twisted instantly. It was as if the space around him had been completely twisted by a huge force field. He only managed to rise into the air for a few seconds before he was caught by the black hand that was chasing after him.
Liu Xingyun was nowhere to be seen after a cracking sound like that of a melon.
The other two were the same. The black arm distorted the space around them, and they could not escape. They could only watch as the black arm caught up to them, and they disappeared in despair.
Lu Sheng's scalp went numb. All the cells in his body struggled, trying to break free from the powerful force field, but it was useless.
He could feel the black arm closing in on him quickly. Because his physical strength was the strongest, he ran the furthest among the four. But now, the black arm was catching up.
"F * ck!" He squeezed the black raven sculpture.
"Crack."
