Chapter 184: Mysterious Herb
Yi Yun gripped the Thousand Army Saber tightly. With all of his energy surging throughout his body, he was like a cheetah poised to strike any moment.
Yi Yun’s surroundings had changed! The cliff that was originally there had disappeared and it was replaced with a cemetery!
There were tombstones after tombstones. These ancient and crumbling tombstones were similar to the scene that greeted Yi Yun when he first came into this world.
How did this happen?
Ever since coming to this world, Yi Yun had seen the terrifying strength of experts, the grand divine cities and all sorts of weird plants and beasts.
Many things had challenged Yi Yun’s knowledge, opening up his imagination.
But no matter how much his imagination had been opened, Yi Yun had never seen such a strange event. This was his first time!
One second he was at the top of a cliff, the next second he was here. Did he encounter a space-time tunnel?
Suddenly, the graves in front of Yi Yun broke open. Corpses began crawling out of the graves.
These corpses all wore tattered clothes and their eyes were dull. They gave off a feeling of death.
Yi Yun felt his scalp tingle. This sort of thing had exceeded his knowledge!
Upon seeing Yi Yun, the corpses’ eyes started glowing red. It was as if Yi Yun’s body attracted them.
They roared and charged towards Yi Yun!
Yi Yun’s blood was surging. Feeling a burst of energy within his body, he decided to ignore the strange encounter and begin killing whatever faced him!
“Cha!”
The Thousand Army Saber slashed forwards and the seven foot long blade traveled through the air. The three corpses in front of Yi Yun were all split into two!
Metal was like tofu when facing the Thousand Army Saber, what was rotting flesh compared to metal?
Yi Yun charged forward. He began swinging the Thousand Army Saber in all directions. Any simple slash could even split a horse apart; hence, every slash cut down three or four corpses!
The sharp blade moved without restraint and corpse after corpse was swept away, sending black blood splattering everywhere.
This feeling was not much different than cutting a watermelon!
But, even more corpses started to appear from the graves. About 4-5 corpses emerged from each tombstone. Sometimes, even more than ten.
These corpses seemed to be unending no matter how many he killed.
Yi Yun’s saber was already covered in blood and rotting flesh. His blade turned extremely greasy, but there seemed to be no end to this slaughter.
Wait…
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yi Yun’s mind. The chaotic environment seemed to suddenly quieten down.
Time became oddly slow, and Yi Yun’s mind turned clear.
From the herb-picking on the cliff to this graveyard, then meeting this endless outpour of corpses, he had to constantly kill.
All these changes were very strange.
This abnormal matter must be due to a demon!
Yi Yun shivered. He looked at his surroundings. While the corpses charged towards him relentlessly, upon closer inspection, those corpses…
Strangely, Yi Yun felt a sense of deja vu.
These corpses… looked familiar?
“Puah!”
A rotting corpse swiped at Yi Yun, but Yi Yun helplessly watched. He did not draw out his saber nor did he avoid it…
This swipe went through Yi Yun’s body!
Pain!
Extreme pain.
But Yi Yun seemed bewitched. He just stood there regardless of his chest being pulled apart by the corpses. Instead, he closed his eyes.
His spiritual energy interfaced with the Purple Crystal and when Yi Yun opened his eyes again, his vision turned white.
When all he could see was energy, there were no illusions, only the truth!
The corpses had all disappeared. In fact, they never existed!
All of that was just an illusion.
Why did it seem familiar? That was because in Yi Yun’s past life, he had seen such rotting corpses crawl out from graves, attacking the main character of a movie he saw.
This graveyard scene was a common troupe.
This memory had been resurfaced from within Yi Yun’s mind, turning it into an illusion that attacked Yi Yun!
Hence, it was because Yi Yun was seeing something from his memories that made it look so familiar.
But, why did this happen?
Who created all these illusions?
The Tai Ah Divine City’s herb mountain would seal the entrance once a cultivator entered, preventing others from entering.
