Lyu Liang was watching himself becoming Asura, and killing those closest to him, in his memory. Although he knew that it was only an illusion, he still felt that it was heartbreaking. The only thing he could only do was to regain control of his body as soon as possible.
Hearing Fatty’s repetitive words, Lyu Liang’s heart slowly calmed down. His divine sense towards the outside world gradually closed, and he began to appreciate his soul wholeheartedly.
Seeming to feel something, the black-robed Lyu Liang in the sky looked at him. Although it did not speak, there seemed to be some expectation and hope in its eyes.
At this moment, the faces of those who were familiar to him, were still etched in Lyu Liang’s mind. But unlike the Hell of Asura outside, what he remembered were the familial love, friendship and mutual assistance that those people had given to him.
…………………………
Three hundred years later, the original scene at the peach garden had been restored in the secret realm. The tension on Black’s face disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a sense of relief. Lyu Liang’s anger was increasing, the black dead gas was gradually diminishing, and there was a faint smile on his face.
The only surprise was that, some of Lyu Liang’s dark hair had turned gray.
“He has been struggling with the inner devil ordeal for more than three hundred years. I’m beginning to believe in your persistence. He really has a good chance of becoming a fairy immortal, and once he does, he should be a far superior being than his peers. The little golden beast whispered, and there was admiration in her eyes.
Black gently smiled and said: “That’s right. In terms of talent and opportunity, he’s the most ambitious person I’ve ever come across. Second sister, you were able to follow the fairy thunder to come here, do you also have a predestined relationship with him, or…?”
“Who knows? Let’s wait till he becomes a fairy immortal, that’s all in the future.” The golden beast nodded thoughtfully.
Black revealed a joyful expression on his face, and began to stare at Lyu Liang again unwaveringly.
…………………………
In the illusionary realm of the inner devil ordeal, the endless killing was over and the black sword had been thrown to the ground. Lyu Liang, who became an Asura, regained the lucidness in his eyes.
Facing all the familiar people around him, who were still vicious and cynical, Lyu Liang did not say anything. He was just looking at them and there was a strong sense of reluctance in their eyes.
Finally, Lyu Liang moved. First of all, he came to his parents and held them tightly in his arms. His face was full of tears, “Daddy and mom, rest assured that our family will be reunited! Dad, wait for me to return to Four Seasons Village; I want to tell you all my experiences so far. Mom, I have a lot to say to you, too. Wait for me to come back to Virtual Land to see you. Your souls should be condensed by now?”
“My child.” Lyu Liren and Xuanli Yue, who looked ferocious earlier on, showed instant relief on their faces. After Xuanli Yue spoke these words, the two turned into fog and dissipated.
Lyu Liang dried his tears and went to the other familiar people. Each time he went in front of a person, Lyu Liang would hold that person tightly and speak tender words. The end result was always the same, that person would disappear with a smile.
Lyu Liang embraced and said goodbye to all the people one by one, just like facing relatives and friends who had long been separated and reunited. His expression and words were full of tenderness.
When the last relative disappeared, Lyu Liang turned his eyes to another black-clad Lyu Liang, who was standing behind him.
At this time, Lyu Liang in black took the lead in speaking to him, with a trace of appreciation in his tone, “I killed Ying’er, don’t you hate me? Despite Fatty’s help, I have to say that your willpower and mood have greatly exceeded your age.”
Lyu Liang gave a bitter laugh and shook his head: “Is that self-praise? Hate you? Why should I hate you? It was you who gave me the chance to see those loved ones and friends whom I have missed so much. Everything here is both illusory and so real. Are you the original body of the inner devil?”
The black-robed Lyu Liang smiled and pointed at the sky, “Yes or no, either is true. Now that you’ve come to this point, let’s see if you are qualified to merge everything thoroughly!”
Lyu Liang was stunned, then stared at the sky immediately. At that point, he discovered to his surprise, that, there were five suns burning with black flames, but now there were only four, then these four suns became four of the same black-robed Lyu Liang, and fell simultaneously to the ground.
In the face of these five black-robed Lyu Liangs, the white-robed Lyu Liang seemed to have realized something. He picked up the black sword and his eyes were shining and bursting with light. He said in a low voice, “One by one, or together?”
Five Lyu Liangs in black looked at each other and smiled. A long black sword also appeared in their hands, and then they came up together.
Lyu Liang emitted a loud roar and went up. One white, five black, six Lyu Liangs, engaged in a plain and unpretentious cold weapons combat, without flying sand and rocks, without riding clouds and fog.
Before long, a black-clad Lyu Liang was stabbed with a long sword. On the contrary, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he whispered, “Sink!” After uttering that word, the body disappeared and turned into a black light globe and fell into the body of the white robed Lyu Liang.
As the white-robed Lyu Liang became braver in the battle, three more black-robed men fell under his sword, in turn. It was the same ending as the first black-clad Lyu Liang. Meanwhile, three other words spat out by them were “death”, “pain” and “despair”.
When the last man in black was pierced by Lyu Liang, he first uttered the word “annihilation” but then laughed weirdly, saying, “You win, but who are you?”
The white-robed Lyu Liang, who had absorbed five black globes, was stunned when he heard these words. Then he covered his chest with his hands and his eyes were filled with joy. At last, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, “Hah hah hah! So it is!” After laughing, a white light emerged on his body, which instantly turned into a small gray banner. It was the Karma Streamer in Lyu Liang’s body!
Originally there were only three white bright spots on the Karma Streamer, but now there were five more black spots. Subsequently, from the top, the Karma Streamer gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.
Meanwhile, the whole dark space began to shake violently. Then a whirlpool emerged and sucked in all the scenes.
After that, the whirlpool emitted a golden light, and gradually revealed the figure of Lyu Liang, sitting in a cross-legged position.
…
More than three hundred years later, in the Secret Realm of Peach, Lyu Liang, who had been sitting cross-legged all this while, began to emit forth a strong stream of black devil Qi from the top of his head, which quickly wrapped around his body.
“Er? What strong Devil Qi! Did he fail in the ordeal and is now possessed by Inner Devil? It’s impossible, it should not be like that!” Black stared at what was happening, suddenly filled with some misgivings.
But then, it was surprised to find that there was a huge aura of destruction around Lyu Liang. Furthermore, in the dense devil Qi, rays of golden light started to shine from it.
Three days later, with an earth-shaking roar, the devil Qi of Lyu Liang burst forth suddenly. Then he slowly opened his eyes. A gray air stream, visible to the naked eye, was floating around him.
At this time, Black had leaped onto Lyu Liang’s shoulder and laughed in surprise, “Little Liang, after more than 900 years, you have finally succeeded in being promoted to Fairy Immortal level! Oh, this is…”
Black habitually checked Lyu Liang’s body. Then he was surprised to find that, among Gold Core, Magic Core and Demon Core, which were originally juxtaposed, only the black-scented Gold Core and Demon Core were left, but the Magic Core had disappeared.
“Oh, the Magic Core should be merged with the Gold Core. I can feel it. Now the aura I activate is exactly the same as that of Devil-Immortal Qi. It should be a good thing!” Lyu Liang smiled, as if he had been prepared for this situation.
“You’ve been surviving the ordeal for nearly a thousand years, and you’re quite different from ordinary people. Others are usually very excited when they succeed in surviving the ordeal, but I don’t think you seem to care very much about it!” The golden beast also looked at Lyu Liang curiously.
Lyu Liang bowed to the golden beast respectfully at first, saying, “Thank you for your guidance! Despite the success of surviving the ordeal, I am only a fairy immortal. My enemies are of a higher-rank than me, so why should I be joyful?”
The golden beast was satisfied with Lyu Liang’s attitude and nodded her head, “You have a mature mind at such an age, which is not comparable to the ordinary cultivators. Don’t call me senior. I am the Wind-thunder Beast among the Ten Divine Beasts of Chaos, and also the second sister of Black. That day I was attached to the fairy thunder that you attracted, so I came in this secret realm. We can be said to have a predestined relationship. Are you interested in being my ally?”
Lyu Liang was stunned at first, then overjoyed and bowed deeply again, “How can I, Lyu Liang He De, be so fortunate to receive the favors of two chaotic mythological beasts? Nevertheless, of course, I can’t ask for more!”
The golden beast said softly, “It doesn’t matter. You have the thunder-lightning source body, which fits me well. Anyway, I’m tired of playing for so long, so let me help you, together with Black. I am attached to your soul on ordinary days. With me, you have no need to be afraid of all the wind and thunder spells in the world, but can absorb them for your own use.”
Lyu Liang was overjoyed. He immediately set the life covenant with Golden. From then on, he was the man who owned two chaotic beasts at the same time. Not surprisingly, he was absolutely the only one in the world!
After that, Fatty also ran out. Over the past 900 years, it had grown in size. At first, it was the same height as Black, but now it was more than twice Black’s height.
For Fatty who had made the greatest contribution, Lyu Liang naturally would not be stingy. Now, he threw out all the Buddhist treasures that were acquired from the stage of contest for marriage. Anyway, he didn’t need it. It was better to reward Fatty with them.
Fatty’s eyes naturally lighted up. Five or six Buddha treasures were taken into its stomach at one time, followed by a satisfied belch.
Although Lyu Liang did not use Buddha treasures, he also knew that the quality of these treasures were above the Void Return stage.
Seeming to know Lyu Liang’s secret thoughts, Fatty laughed, “Boss, relax. I don’t need to eat that much since I incorporated the Original Sin Hellfire. It doesn’t matter even if you do not give me any more magic treasure for thousands of years. I was just being greedy. Hey, hey. If you encounter a troublesome magic treasure when fighting with an enemy in the future, I can help you digest it! By the way, my strength now just allows me to eat those magic treasures that are not moving or moving very slowly. I can’t ingest anything if it’s too aggressive or is a high-speed magic treasure.”
Lyu Liang smiled and nodded. For Fatty, by his secret means, to be able to achieve such a effect, was commendable. He naturally did not have higher requirements.
“Little Liang, your aura is strange. It’s not a fairy, nor a devil. It’s actually a devil-immortal Qi! But it seems very powerful!” Black looked at Lyu Liang curiously, with unspeakable excitement in his eyes.
Lyu Liang laughed loudly, “In that case, let me be a devil-immortal fairy! No matter if I am a devil or immortal fairy, I will create my own path!”
