Chapter 1398

The entire world collapsed suddenly, and in an instant, it was as if the end of the world had arrived.

As Zhu Yuyan defeated Shi Zhixuan, it was as if the entire world had been destroyed; those people Zhu Yuyan knew and didn't know all turned into smoke and dissipated.

This scene left Zhu Yuyan stunned and terrified.

Afterward, she discovered that her own existence also began to disappear.

Then, she lost all consciousness.

After losing consciousness, she did not wake up immediately, nor did she reincarnate again immediately.

In reality.

Su Xuan was somewhat surprised to see Zhu Yuyan breaking free from the illusion world.

Although the Nightmare Prayer was an illusion, under the blessing of Su Xuan's magic power, the illusion world created was enough to pass for the truth; for some people, it was even more real than the real world.

If one were an escapist, one could completely treat it as an ideal land and indulge in it, never waking up again.

This was somewhat similar to the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Of course, there were also drawbacks.

After all, it was an illusion world; the foundation of the world's existence originated from the human body itself. If the human body died due to external factors, the illusion world would collapse directly. To maintain the illusion world's continued existence, unless Su Xuan used great magic power to directly construct a spiritual world and cast the other party's soul into it, achieving immortality at the soul level.

Does it sound familiar?

That's right, such a world is exactly like those virtual reality online game worlds, or it could be called... the Void God Realm!

Then, how did Zhu Yuyan break free from the illusion world?

Clearly, her consciousness had already sunk into the illusion.

Su Xuan soon knew the reason.

The main reason Zhu Yuyan broke free in the illusion world lay in Zhu Yuyan herself.

As she completely entered the "lying flat" mode.

She no longer tried to rewrite her fate, and her determination to kill Shi Zhixuan was not as intense as before.

To a certain extent, this could actually be considered a different kind of letting go, a different kind of letting go of hatred.

When she began to let go of her hatred for Shi Zhixuan, to let go of all hatred, Shi Zhixuan's existence gradually faded in her heart.

In the first lifetime of lying flat, it wasn't very obvious, but as time passed, the traces of Shi Zhixuan's existence became increasingly faint, until finally, they disappeared completely.

This meant that the flaw in Zhu Yuyan's heart was also completely mended.

This was also the key to her being able to break through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art in the illusion world.

Earlier in the illusion world, it wasn't that Zhu Yuyan hadn't broken through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art, and she had even cultivated techniques like the Purple Blood Great Art and the Cihang Sword Manual, but rather than saying she had accomplished these things, it was more like a delusion she had generated in order to defeat Shi Zhixuan.

It was also because of the existence of her delusion that the demonic thoughts rooted in her heart would continue to grow; as the saying goes, "as the Dao rises one foot, the demon rises ten." No matter how much she progressed, Shi Zhixuan's strength would always be just a fraction stronger than hers.

Those instances of strength improvement were all illusory.

First of all, Zhu Yuyan was no longer a body of pure yin, so it was impossible to break through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art with the help of a pure yin body; secondly, Zhu Yuyan had never even seen the Purple Blood Great Art or the Cihang Sword Manual, so how could she cultivate them? These were all products of her imagination. In the vast illusion, only the Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art cultivated by Shi Zhixuan was real.

Because Su Xuan, who constructed the illusion world, had truly seen the Dao Heart Planting Demon Great Art.

But this time was different.

Zhu Yuyan being able to break through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Art was no longer an illusory thing.

For one, her being deflowered by Shi Zhixuan was something that had already happened.

For another, she forgot Shi Zhixuan's existence, and the flaw in her heart was mended; although the progress of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Great Art would be much slower after being deflowered, in the illusion world, Zhu Yuyan relied on her many years of experience to successfully break through.

And in reality, it didn't need to be so troublesome at all.

Years ago, when Zhu Yuyan was at Wanwan's age, she had already cultivated the Heavenly Demon Great Art to the seventeenth level; although she hadn't broken through since then, Zhu Yuyan's internal power was too profound, and decades of accumulation were no joke.
