Chapter 243: No Emotion, All Is Illusion!

"It is said that Blood Axe Xiao Chen had quite astonishing talent back in the day and was even the cousin of Xiao Clan Leader Xiao Xuan, but he was a man who disliked restraint and was temperamental. Before he became famous, no one knew how many experts had perished under his axe!"

"But later, Xiao Chen disappeared for no reason, and no one could find him... I never expected that he would appear here."

"Calculating it this way, this man Xiao Chen can be considered to have avoided a great catastrophe of the Xiao Clan..."

When the crowd spoke of Xiao Chen, their faces all revealed a sense of sighing and emotion.

Xiao Chen had escaped the great catastrophe of the Xiao Clan back then.

To ordinary people, it might be considered a stroke of luck.

However, according to Xiao Chen's own personality.

He absolutely did not want to live on in this world.

He would rather die in battle for his clan than live on like a walking corpse.

In the arena, a look of struggle appeared on Xiao Chen's face at this moment, his appearance as if he were resisting something.

Faint, milky-white flames were also gradually seeping out slowly from the pores of his body.

"Let me help you!"

Within the center of Gu Fei's brow, the light orb left behind by Jinglian Yaosheng provided some hints.

The next moment, his figure flashed.

He quickly arrived beside Xiao Chen and placed his palm swiftly onto Xiao Chen's shoulder.

Xiao Chen's trembling body came to a stop.

The milky-white flames that had been about to burst out of his body also slowly dissipated.

"Hoo..."

Xiao Chen took a few deep breaths.

"Many thanks to the young friend for the rescue!"

Having calmed down, Xiao Chen spoke with great gratitude at this moment.

"This is the Demon Fire Space. If you want to thank me, then take us to the place where the Demon Fire is located, so we can defeat the Demon Fire..."

Gu Fei waved his hand and said softly.

"Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame... with your strength, you are far from being its match..."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen shook his head and said.

"Staying here is also a dead end. Has the will of the Blood Axe Xiao Chen of the past become so dissipated? Do you not have the courage to fight?"

Gu Fei shook his head and said.

"Follow me..."

Xiao Chen was naturally not a person who feared death. After Gu Fei finished speaking, he made his decision and turned to walk toward the great hall door.

"Creak!"

The group followed silently behind Xiao Chen, watching as he slowly pushed open the giant door. Behind the giant door, a massive altar stone platform could be vaguely seen.

Gazing at the altar stone platform at the end, Gu Fei smiled faintly and was the first to step onto the stone stairs.

Approaching the altar, one could see a huge throne standing silently upon it.

On that throne, a figure dressed in white robes sat quietly in meditation, wisps of milky-white flames circling around his body, constantly shifting into various forms.

"Defeat me, and you will be able to obtain the Demon Fire Origin; otherwise, you shall remain here forever and become my Fire Slave."

The white-robed man's voice was soft and gentle, but after his voice was emitted, it seemed as if even this space was trembling.

Gu Nanhai, Huo Yao, and the others had grave expressions, because the person in front of them actually gave them a feeling of being invincible! "Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, I must admit, the illusion you created is even more realistic than that Bodhi Ancient Tree, but no matter how realistic an illusion is, it is, after all, still an illusion..."

Gu Fei's gaze held not a shred of fear.

As Gu Fei's voice fell.

The gentle smile on the handsome man's face upon the throne also gradually solidified.

Gu Fei did not receive an Emotion Value notification.

Therefore, he was even more certain that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame before him was merely an illusion.

"An illusion?"

"Young Clan Leader, are you saying that we are still within an illusion?"

"That shouldn't be right, I should be truly existing!"

The others were all surprised, and Huo Xuan even reached out to touch himself all over.

"We are all real!" Gu Fei explained: "These illusions are not aimed at any one person, but are a large-scale illusion..."

"Why do you have such an understanding of the Nightmare Heavenly Mist?"

On the throne, the white-robed man finally spoke slowly, his voice somewhat sinister.

"Want to know? Once you are refined by me, you will naturally know!"

Gu Fei replied with a faint smile.

With the Emotion Value System, there was basically no illusion in this world that could deceive him.

"Presumptuous..."

The white-robed man roared, his gaze staring coldly and mercilessly at Gu Fei.

Wisps of milky-white flames slowly permeated out from his body.

In an instant, a destructive high temperature gradually enveloped this space.

Seeing the white-robed man's display of power, Gu Nanhai and Huo Yao both had grave expressions.

"Everyone, here, his strength depends on what we think in our hearts!"

"As long as we consider it non-existent, he cannot cause us any harm!"

Gu Fei said in a low voice.

"You seek death!"

As Gu Fei's voice fell, the handsome face of the white-robed man finally changed drastically.

He clenched his palm, and the milky-white flame transformed into a massive flaming spear.

The spear carried a scent of destruction as it shot violently toward Gu Fei.

Facing such an attack, Gu Fei did not take any defensive measures.

"The Young Clan Leader would not put himself in danger!"

"I trust Young Master Gu Fei's judgment!"

Throughout the previous trials, everyone had come to regard Gu Fei as their backbone; therefore, even when facing such immense pressure, they did not unleash any Dou Qi to defend themselves.

"Bang!"

The enormous flaming spear descended from the sky, finally striking their bodies with destructive force; however, just as they thought their bodies would be severely injured, the flaming spear suddenly vanished!

"It really is fine!"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Huo Zhi's pretty face.

The gaze she directed at Gu Fei was filled with admiration and adoration.

As fellow prodigies, the gap between them and Gu Fei was not just a little bit.

"Bastard!"

In the sky, a look of fury appeared on the white-robed man's handsome face.

His body actually began to appear somewhat illusory at this moment.

"Nightmare Illusion, break!"

Gu Fei pointed with two fingers, and a stream of Essence Blood shot from his fingertips, quickly tracing in the air to form a strange blood talisman.

"Breaking Nightmare Talisman?"

"How could you possibly know it?"

Seeing that blood talisman, the expression of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame immediately turned gloomy.

"Go!"

Gu Fei ignored him entirely, flicking his finger lightly, and the blood talisman shot out, finally sticking firmly onto the void ahead.

This space exploded instantly.

After the illusion shattered, everyone discovered that the surroundings had turned into a sea of magma.

Above the magma sea, there were some extremely massive rocks floating.

Gu Fei and the others were on these rocks, and not far behind them, a huge silver ring of light was slowly rotating.

"We finally made it out!"

At this moment, a sense of surviving a disaster appeared on everyone's faces.
