'He's not breathing …'
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and took a step back.
The man seemed to fall back because of his touch. He fell on the floor tiles of the living room with a thud.
Lu Sheng was silent for a moment. He calmed himself down and slowly walked through the door.
The furnishings in the house were the same as he remembered. However, there was one more corpse on the floor.
"…"
Lu Sheng sat down on the sofa in the living room. He seemed to have grasped the key.
He stared at his corpse for a while. Then, he suddenly had a thought.
The corpse slowly melted into the floor tiles and disappeared.
'As expected …' Lu Sheng stood up and walked to the balcony. He looked out the window.
The houses in the opposite residential building were all pitch-black. Devil Qi rose from beneath his feet and he flew up. In the blink of an eye, he covered a distance of more than ten meters and landed on the balcony of one of the houses.
"Splash."
He pushed open the sliding door on the balcony and saw two familiar, cold corpses lying on the floor in the living room.
He recognized these two people. They were the two bandits of Nine Links City whom he had killed. They were the two leaders who had kidnapped Lu Qingqing.
'As expected … This is the Heart World in my heart. To be more precise, this might be an illusory world formed after my spirit underwent a qualitative change. 'Lu Sheng suddenly understood the secrets of this world.
He understood the true power of a Weapon Grandmaster.
He walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He stared at the two bandits' corpses on the floor, but his mind was immersed in his own deduction.
'If this is the power of a Weapon Grandmaster … then …' Lu Sheng suddenly shut his eyes.
When he opened them again, he had returned to the Research Temple where he cultivated in seclusion.
'As expected … I can enter and leave that world freely.' He closed his eyes again and opened them again.
He swiftly returned to the living room of the residential building.
His surroundings were quiet. There were no sounds of living beings, not even the sound of air currents.
Lu Sheng stood up. With a thought, his body suddenly appeared in another room.
In this house, a beautiful, pale woman in a white dress was lying on a recliner in the kitchen.
The woman's eyes were slightly opened, and there was a slight smile on her face.
Lu Sheng walked up to her and recognized that she was the female ghost that he had killed on the red ship.
He reached out and touched the top of her head. Sure enough, he felt a crack on her skull that he had left with his saber.
"… Just as I thought."
Withdrawing his hand, Lu Sheng turned around and left the kitchen.
After leaving the kitchen, there was a short corridor. On the left side of the corridor was the bedroom, and on the right side was the bathroom.
He paused for a moment, then pushed open the bathroom door to the right.
The bathtub in the toilet was filled with water, and a little girl with two braids was soaking in the bathtub. Her back was against the wall, and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was taking a bath.
The bathroom was so cold that water dripped from the edge of the basin.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the bathtub and looked at the girl's front. There were many stitches on her face, as if she had been hit with great force.
Lu Sheng remembered that he had killed this little girl with his own hands. In the Great Song.
'I understand now …' He exhaled slowly and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had already returned to the Research Temple.
As he stood up, Lu Sheng understood the qualitative change that occurred after a Weapon Grandmaster pushed open the door.
'Deep Blue,' he called out in his heart.
A light blue interface suddenly appeared.
The first frame clearly displayed his current tier.
"Infinity Technique, sixth tier, Tracing Source. Tracing Source, first tier, Heart Image. (Special traits. Heart Devil World, Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, Time Freeze, powerful spirit …) "
'As expected, I wasn't wrong. Although I've eaten the door, I've indeed achieved a breakthrough. I'm already at the Weapon Grandmaster tier. '
Lu Sheng's spirit trembled, and he began to inspect his entire body. Compared to before his breakthrough, there were no special changes.
The only difference was that there was a gray winged serpent symbol in the depths of his spirit.
As long as he touched this symbol with his consciousness, he would be able to instantly enter that dead world.
'How mysterious. I can sense the existence of that world, and I know that it's a special place that was born because of me. However, apart from being able to freely enter and exit it and teleport short distances, I can't control anything in there at all.' Doubts arose in Lu Sheng 'heart. 'Oh, that's right. I can still control one thing, and that's my own corpse.
'This means that although this world was born because of me, it's not an illusion created by my spirit. It's highly likely that it's a material world that truly exists.
'Then, what's the use of having this material world after I've ascended to the Weapon Grandmaster tier?' He sank into deep thought.
He tried to place the objects around him into that world, but they all failed.
Moreover, he even discovered a connection. He did not enter that world with his real body.
'This is getting more and more interesting …'
Lu Sheng reached out and took a black crystal. After playing with it in his palm for a while, he pinched the crystal lightly and suspended it in midair. Then, he released his fingers.
The black crystal instantly fell to the ground.
'Enter.' Lu Sheng suddenly closed his eyes.
The dark and peculiar bathroom appeared before his eyes again. The girl whose head was smashed was still lying in the bathtub. There was a faint stench of decay in the air.
Lu Sheng exited the bathroom. With a thought, his vision blurred, and he appeared in another place.
He was surrounded by a flowerbed outside a residential building.
The shadows of the staircase shrouded the entire area in complete darkness. It blocked the light from the distant street lamps.
Lu Sheng sat down beside the ice-cold stone flowerbed and waited for time to pass.
Unknowingly, he stood up after counting his 200th heartbeat.
With a thought, his vision blurred, and he returned to the Research Temple.
"Bam."
At this moment, a crisp sound came from beneath his feet.
Lu Sheng lowered his head and saw a black crystal rolling beside his feet.
'As expected, time in that world is almost static. Or rather, it's extremely slow …'
Then, Lu Sheng tried various experiments to determine the various characteristics of that world. Soon, he discovered, to his surprise, that even if he used his full power in that world, he could not cause even the slightest vibration in space.
However, in Great Yin, he could easily cause a vibration in space by using formations, or by accumulating his full power without unleashing it.
However, in that world, the sturdiness of space was indescribable. It was countless times stronger than in Great Yin.
'Next, I should find a living creature and test it out.' Lu Sheng felt that he was beginning to understand the true power of a Weapon Grandmaster.
He stood up, walked to the door of the temple, and knocked lightly.
The door made a muffled sound, and slowly moved to the right.
"Sect Master! You're out of seclusion!? "the disciple guarding the door exclaimed in surprise.
"Inform Xu Feila and the others."
Lu Sheng nodded slightly. "I'll go take care of some matters. I'll be back soon. If they're looking for me, go to the main temple and wait. "
"Understood!" the disciple hurriedly acknowledged with a lowered head.
Lu Sheng walked out of the door and looked up at the sky. It was noon. The sun peeked through the thick gray clouds, and barely revealed cold rays of sunlight.
"Poof!"
Black Qi suddenly rose from under his feet. The Devil Qi carried him and flew into the distance.
Soon, he rose higher and higher. The buildings of the Devil Palace retreated rapidly. Then, the withered yellow land was filled with cracks and lifeless.
Lu Sheng flew at high speed. Soon, he found his desired target.
'Everyone says that they've never seen a Weapon Grandmaster fight. Perhaps it's not that they don't have the chance, but … they can't even see it. '
Lu Sheng pressed down on the Devil Qi cloud, and landed lightly on a small hill. He looked down at a group of demons fighting the Evil Spirits.
These demons all had antlers on their heads. Clearly, they were from the nearby Deer Demon Tribe.
However, unlike other demons, these Deer Demons did not seem to get along with each other. They fought the Evil Spirits with all their might while a few of them quarreled with each other.
The number of Evil Spirits kept increasing. Although each of them was only at the Single Vein level, once their numbers increased, the demons present could not hold on much longer.
Soon, a tall female Deer Demon behind the Deer Demons saw that the situation was bad. She quietly turned around and retreated. She did not care about anything else. She left her companions in front of her to fend off the Evil Spirits while she fled.
'She's the one.' Lu Sheng pushed off the ground with the tips of his toes. His figure followed the tall female Deer Demon like a ghost.
The female Deer Demon panicked. After running wildly for a while, she slowed down and came to a stop when she could no longer see the Evil Spirits.
"Abandoning your companions and dragging out an ignoble existence for yourself. Can you feel at ease living like this? "Lu Sheng slowly appeared behind her and said in a low voice.
"Who!?" The female Deer Demon screamed in terror. She turned her head to look at Lu Sheng.
But all she saw was a sea of darkness. She was standing in a pitch-black alley. In front of her was a dimly lit street lamp …
A gray Winged Serpent pattern lit up between Lu Sheng's brows. However, it only lasted for an instant before quickly disappearing.
He looked at the female Deer Demon in front of him, whose eyes had lost their liveliness. In his heart, he already understood what the Mental Demon Realm mentioned in Deep Blue's realm was.
In that instant just now, when their eyes met, he had already pulled the female Deer Demon's consciousness and spirit into that dead world.
Then, in just a few breaths, the female Deer Demon had already stopped breathing. Her pulse had stopped, and she had lost all signs of life.
'Did she completely die in the Mental Demon Realm after her spirit was stripped away?' Lu Sheng frowned. He had also followed the Deer Demon into that world in that instant.
In the Mental Demon Realm, he saw the Deer Demon looking everywhere for a way out. However, it was to no avail. After wandering and running for more than an hour, the Deer Demon's spirit suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. Slowly, she lost consciousness.
'The Mental Demon Realm itself has the function of absorbing vitality …' Lu Sheng looked at the Deer Demon's corpse in front of him and seemed to have understood something.
He left this place and continued to search for new prey to experiment on.
In about an hour, he consecutively experimented with Evil Spirits and living people more than ten times. He experimented with different levels of cultivation.
He realized that one hour of the Mental Demon Realm's absorption of vitality was equivalent to three breaths in the outside world. This was the absolute time.
In other words, the level of one's cultivation did not seem to affect the time of death. Of course, the highest level of the test subjects he found was only at the Earth Prime level. He still needed further verification.
In addition, Lu Sheng realized that although he could freely enter and exit the Mental Demon Realm, he could not directly kill the living beings in it.
Instead, he could only rely on the Mental Demon Realm's own power to absorb the living beings' vitality.
However, although he could not kill the living beings in the Mental Demon Realm, he could completely destroy the other party's physical body in Great Yin at the same time he pulled them into the Mental Demon Realm.
This would also cause the other party to die.
