Chapter 1504: They Are Using Each Other

~7 min read 1,206 words

"My life is in your hands now; do you think I still have the ability to resist?" Mitsui Shanghe looked helpless. "Don't worry, I have an Onmyoji identity badge. This barrier was set up by a Divine Official; anyone with an Onmyoji identity marker can enter easily."

"Then let's go in." Chen Yu nodded slightly; the arrow was on the string, and this was the only way.

"With my blood, I summon the gods." Mitsui Shanghe took a deep breath, then formed a strange hand seal with both hands, one above the other, and pushed them slightly forward.

In an instant, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed suddenly, and a circular disk appeared between his hands. This disk glowed with a faint white light, followed by a burst of radiance, and dozens of mysterious symbols appeared.

This was the Onmyoji's identity badge. As the badge appeared, the barrier before them slowly manifested, appearing before everyone's eyes in a form visible to the naked eye.

On the side of the barrier, a passage appeared; this passage was clearly two different worlds from the outside.

"Go in, now." Mitsui Shanghe gritted his teeth as he held it open; the passage could only accommodate one person, and it could not be held for long.

Chen Yu stepped inside without hesitation, and as Mitsui Shanghe lifted his hand, the badge vanished.

As the badge disappeared, the passage vanished along with it, but the moment the passage disappeared, he flashed and slipped into the barrier.

As soon as Chen Yu entered, his vision suddenly brightened, and then a mirror seemed to appear before him. His heart sank, and he secretly cursed.

However, he had no time to react; the mirror before him turned into ten thousand mirrors in an instant, and in every mirror, there was a version of himself.

Chen Yu took a step forward, and the mirrors before him changed orientation with his movements; no matter how he walked, there were seven or eight versions of himself in front of him.

Looking out, countless versions of himself appeared in these mirrors; even Chen Yu was left with a splitting headache by all of this.

The Wanbian Space is also a Mirror Space. Although Fusang's Onmyoji stole many things from Huaxia's Yin-Yang Five Elements, in some areas they truly pioneered things others had not, creating some extremely powerful arrays.

This Mirror Space before him was something created by Onmyoji based on Huaxia's Esoteric Sect's hidden formations and Yin-Yang Five Elements. These things are equivalent to a Mirror Space, and inside here, a person's mind will be greatly affected.

Chen Yu turned around abruptly and suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him. He looked back, and it was still a mirror, but when he looked elsewhere, the version of himself in the mirror behind him smiled eerily.

Suddenly, a cold sensation came from behind him. Chen Yu turned around sharply, but he felt a chill in his chest; the 'self' behind him was holding a piece of broken glass, and this piece of broken glass stabbed straight into his chest.

Fresh blood flowed from Chen Yu's chest. That piece of broken glass seemed to be some kind of Dharma Artifact; the shattered glass embedded itself into Chen Yu's chest, and the chill surged throughout his body from the wound.

"Who are you?" Looking at the version of himself before him, Chen Yu felt a bit confused.

In this Mirror World, aren't these just his own shadows? This move by the Onmyoji is truly impossible to guard against.

"Hehe, I am you." The version of himself in the mirror revealed a ferocious smile, and he chuckled, "You didn't expect this, did you?"

"If you are me, why would you hurt me?" Chen Yu stared at him coldly.

"Perhaps you didn't expect that you could hurt yourself." The version of himself in the mirror grinned hideously, "The ten thousand versions of you in this Mirror Space are actually your Heart Demons. Whoever kills you can replace your true self."

"So that's how it is." Chen Yu nodded in sudden realization, "That makes sense. No wonder you are all attacking me so crazily; it turns out you want to replace me?"

"Chen Yu, you are quite clever." The person in the mirror chuckled, "But what can that do? No one can escape from this Mirror Space."

"You said just now that you are my Heart Demon?" Chen Yu took a deep breath, looking at the person who was conversing with him.

"That's right, I am your Heart Demon, your desires. These thousands upon thousands of mirrors, every single one is your Heart Demon. You are now talking to yourself." The Chen Yu in the mirror chuckled, "Now do you know how bad you are?"

"Why do I feel that isn't the case?" Chen Yu revealed a thoughtful expression, "I always feel that you are Mitsui Shanghe, pretending to be like this to talk to me."

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, he formed a Seal with his hands. With a loud shout, he pushed his hands forward heavily. With a hum, a surge of Original Power formed a wall, and this wall whistled away, attacking the version of himself in front.

With a boom, a wave of Primordial Qi surged forward, and the thousands of mirror surfaces before him turned into fragments in an instant; in countless mirrors, there was a version of himself.

Meanwhile, outside, Mitsui Shanghe was using his consciousness to probe Chen Yu inside the array, but suddenly a light wave whistled toward him. He spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated backward.

He retreated a full ten meters before he steadied his footing. His complexion was extremely ugly, because Chen Yu's attack just now had nearly cost him his life; if he hadn't reacted fast enough, he would likely be severely injured by now.

Even at the critical moment, he had forcibly escaped Chen Yu's counterattack, but he still felt as if the blood all over his body was about to freeze.

"Mitsui, what are you doing?" Just then, an Onmyoji wearing a white robe hurried over.

"Mr. Matsuda, I was just attacked. I trapped that person inside the Mirror Space." Mitsui Shanghe hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "That guy is quite troublesome, so I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"You actually brought someone in?" The white-robed Onmyoji's rank was clearly higher than Mitsui Shanghe's. Hearing this, he could not help but be furious, "Mitsui, do you know what our rules are?"

"I know, Mr. Matsuda, but that guy is really troublesome. Some people from our Divine Way have suffered quite a few secret losses at his hands before, so I had to resort to this desperate measure," Mitsui explained hurriedly.

"Who is he?" The lingering anger on Matsuda's face had not yet faded, "You are also one of our High-level Onmyoji; can it be that even you have no way to deal with him?"

"I..." Mitsui's mouth felt bitter. He sighed and said, "I truly have no way to deal with him, because his strength... is really too strong. His name is Chen Yu, and our previous plans..."
