Chapter 1686 An addiction to killing teammates is a disease that needs to be treated

Scarlet Pupil blinked in slight confusion. For some reason, after having brought the topic of death up, the mister in front of him suddenly became very active.

What did Mister mean when he said that nobody among his peers is more experienced in death than he is? I keep on getting the feeling that something doesn’t sound right… Why does it sound like Mister dies quite often?

“Speaking of death, I cannot not mention my first experience with death. That was also when I died the most times over a short period of time. Although it wasn’t that long ago, it feels like it’s been ages since then,” Song Shuhang said while reminiscing.

“!!!” Scarlet Pupil.

First experience? Is there even a second experience when it comes to something like death?

Song Shuhang described the scene back when the liquid metal ball had descended in the scholarly faction. “The first time I faced death, I faced a powerful and invincible enemy. The big shot merely needed to stretch out a single finger to crush me and my seniors from the scholarly faction to death. That feeling of despair is something that I still haven’t forgotten. At that time, I watched as my body got crushed to death like an ant, getting crushed again and again, completely unable to resist. The taste of death is that of pain and bitterness, it’s as if one were thrown into nothingness. One finds themselves at the bottom of an abyss from where they are unable to struggle out. Confusion pervades one’s mind, while blood continues to flow out in huge quantities.” Song Shuhang could no longer remember exactly how many times he had died and revived back then, for there were simply too many to count.

What was worse than death? Two tragic deaths.

What was worse than two tragic deaths? An endless loop of death…

Song Shuhang’s consciousness fell into the memory.

When he recalled his death, the spiritual energy around him seemed to be drawn over, following Song Shuhang’s ‘memories’ as they constructed an embryonic form of a series of tragic deaths in the ‘world of the golden lotus’.

Scarlet Heaven Sword slightly rose up, and then moved back a certain distance while suppressing his own aura. He did not want to disturb Song Shuhang, and also wanted to avoid getting involved—the image that had arisen around Song Shuhang was a prototype of the Seventh Stage Venerables’ [Illusory Reality].

When Seventh Stage Venerables were in seclusion, a single thought could encompass the entire universe.

All kinds of illusions would be formed into vivid and lifelike images. With the Seventh Stage Venerable at the center, a world of dreams and illusions could form out of nowhere.

It was said that back during the ancient spiritual qi was abundant, there was a powerful Venerable who had undergone seclusion underground for thousands of years, his thoughts forming a huge city aboveground. What was surprising was that the city had residents who lived and thrived in it, just like real people!

Inside the ‘Illusory Reality’, all illusions would have real lethality. If you were struck by a saber, you would be injured by that saber; and if you were struck by lightning, you would similarly be injured by that lightning. An example was Senior White’s desert.

Besides Seventh Stage Venerables, there were some Sixth Stage True Monarchs who were bursting with luck that would have the opportunity to experience forming an ‘Illusory Reality’ in advance under the premise that they had the right opportunity, the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right emotions.

Song Shuhang’s luck today was pretty good.

Although he was still at the Fifth Stage Realm, his overall being had already reached the Sixth Stage Realm.

And inadvertently, he had managed to form a connection with the energy of heaven and earth, which allowed him to project a prototype of ‘Illusory Reality’.

Song Shuhang himself hadn’t noticed the changes taking place across his whole body.

The level of his ‘Illusory Reality’ was extremely small, covering only an area of about five meters around Song Shuhang’s primordial soul.

But even so, Scarlet Pupil happened to be in its range.

With that, he got to experience the ‘tragedy of the scholarly faction’s world of the golden lotus’ from a perspective somewhere in between that of a bystander and that of someone who experienced it themself.

Scarlet Pupil felt like his entire person had been divided into two halves.
