Chapter 984: Heavy-Armored Warrior

With a hum, the air in mid-air twisted slightly; Chen Yu's body jolted, and he retreated several steps. The force of this strike was so great that even he could barely withstand it.

Seeing that Chen Yu had not fallen, the heavy-armored warrior stepped forward, the giant sword in his hand flicked, and he attacked again.

Chen Yu gripped the Lichen in his hand, seized the moment, and leaped up. In mid-air, he shifted his body to the side, dodging the powerful sword strike. Then, his figure flashed as he swept past the warrior. As he passed, Chen Yu raised his sword and brought it down, severing the warrior's head with a single strike.

Almost at the same time, the giant sword in the warrior's hand swung in a circle, and a powerful force swept across Chen Yu's back. Chen Yu let out a muffled groan; his internal organs felt as if they had been shifted by the strike. He stumbled forward a few steps, his face turning slightly pale.

Thump... The headless warrior fell to his knees on the ground. Although he had lost his head, his conviction was extremely strong. The giant sword in his hand shifted, and his body moved, preparing to stand up again.

But Chen Yu, who was to the side, reacted quickly. He swung his sword backhanded, gathering all his Original Power, and thrust it toward the giant's back.

With a soft "pfft" sound, the sword pierced the giant through the heart. The giant's movements stalled, his body tilted slightly forward, and he remained in a kneeling position, motionless.

The head that had fallen to the ground had its crimson pupils slowly dilate, and a look of relief appeared on the massive face.

"Brother Chen..." Yu Sichen hurried forward to support the swaying Chen Yu.

"I'm fine. This thing has astonishing strength. If an ordinary person had been hit by his sword, they would have lost their life long ago." Chen Yu took a deep breath. He sat down, and the Primordial Qi within his body circulated slowly to calm his chaotic aura.

Ever since entering Wurenqu, Chen Yu had been fighting enemies while nearly depleted of health, and that last strike had caused his Primordial Qi, which had almost recovered, to fall into chaos once again.

However, just as the giant fell to the ground, the Ghost Clan member standing before the sacrificial table slowly raised his head, and his figure began to change.

Originally, he had a round and short stature, but in this instant, his figure grew taller, gradually solidifying into a body like a normal person's, and then he raised his head, revealing facial features.

Only a ghostly gleam flashed on his forehead, and a huge, incomparable eyeball appeared on his head. At the same time, a strange smile appeared on his face: "How many years has it been? I can finally stand up again, hehe."

"Again?" Chen Yu's pupils constricted. This person with one eye on his head should be a proper member of the Ghost Clan. Moreover, the giant had just spoken in human language, calling him the Ghost Clan Second-class Underworld Citizen Wu Ge. And looking at the pavilion behind this guy, he should belong to the nobility of the Ghost Clan.

"I am a noble of the Ghost Kingdom, a Second-class Underworld Citizen, Wu Ge. You are all people of the sun; why do you not kneel when you see me?" The Ghost Clan member slowly stood up. The eye on his forehead was wide open, giving off a very terrifying feeling.

"A Ghost Clan member, and a noble at that?" Chen Yu slowly stood up and stared at Wu Ge: "A thing that was wiped out thousands of years ago—even in your prime, you were existences that didn't dare to see the sun. Now that you've accidentally come back to life, do you really think your status is transcendent?"

"Hehe, back then my Ghost Kingdom roamed everywhere, invincible. The people of the sun were routed. If it weren't for the accidental appearance of the Underworld, which cut off the source of my Ghost Kingdom's citizens, the people of the sun would have been wiped out by us long ago. This world is also the world of the Ghost Clan." Wu Ge chuckled, his giant eye flickering as he stared at Chen Yu: "You are the first person I have seen since I awakened. From now on, you shall serve me as your master and undertake the grand plan of restoring the Ghost Clan."

These words made Liu Lianxin and the others look at each other in dismay, and Chen Yu also seemed to have misheard: "You said, let me serve you as my master? Restore the Ghost Clan?"

"That's right. This is your supreme honor. When the Ghost Kingdom is restored, you shall be a meritorious official, and you will decide the fate of the world." Wu Ge looked arrogant.

"Then I really thank you, but you should keep this honor for yourself." Chen Yu sneered and gripped the Lichen in his hand: "The Ghost Clan was wiped out thousands of years ago; this world is no longer what you can imagine. Since you have awakened, I will help you fall back into a deep sleep."

"Ignorant commoner." Wu Ge sneered. The giant eye on his forehead suddenly bulged outward, expanding more than several times its previous size. The eye, which was as large as half a head, was covered in bloodshot veins, and a trace of ghostly blue radiance flashed across the pupil.

Chen Yu suddenly felt the surroundings go dark. When the light brightened again, he found himself in a world of sky-filling yellow sand.

This place was an ancient battlefield; copper-gray clouds floated in the sky, and the surrounding desert was covered with severed limbs and broken arms.

There was no one alive left in the vicinity. Suddenly, hundreds of clusters of black Qi rose from the desert, turning into hideous faces that pounced toward Chen Yu.

"It's the Ghost Clan..." Chen Yu felt a shock in his heart and swung the Lichen in his hand, slashing fiercely forward.

"Chen Yu, this is an illusion." Liu Lianxin was startled. She quickly stepped forward, intending to wake Chen Yu, but with a hum, an invisible barrier repelled her.

She gestured with her right hand, and a Pearl Flower appeared, condensing into an Immortal Lotus, which struck fiercely at the barrier. But as the radiance passed, the barrier remained completely undamaged.

"What should we do?" Yu Sichen tried to step forward, but as soon as she took a step, she was forced back by a storm.

"This is the Limit Eye of the Ghost Clan people. It is extremely powerful and can make people fall into a demonic obsession." Just then, the voice of the Ancestral Ghost rang out.

Yu Sichen grabbed the Talisman that sealed the Ancestral Ghost: "Tell me, what method can break it?"

"There is no solution..." the Ancestral Ghost said lazily: "Right now, Chen Yu and that thing are cut off from this world. If his Dao Heart is firm, the demonic obsession will break on its own. If his Dao Heart is unstable, then no one can save him."

Suddenly, Chen Yu's body moved; his legs actually began to sink into the ground, and where he stood, something similar to a black hole appeared, and his body was slowly sinking.

"He has already fallen into the demonic obsession and cannot get out," the Ancestral Ghost said. "Once his body sinks in completely, even an Immortal couldn't save him."

"Chen Yu, wake up, Chen Yu." Liu Lianxin shouted anxiously: "That is a Heart Demon; everything is fake..."

"Hehe, it's useless. That world is independent of this one. It is true that you have the Green Lotus Jade Bone, but the Limit Eye is something the Ghost Clan prides itself on. Your Green Lotus cannot break this Barrier."

Chen Yu, trapped in the illusion, had entered a berserk state. Everything before his eyes had turned into demons, constantly baring their fangs and brandishing their claws around him. He swung the Lichen in his hand, slashing forward all the way.

"This is fake..." Chen Yu stared at the monster he had just slashed into ashes with one sword strike, and suddenly, he understood.
