Beast Piercing The Heavens

Ye Qinghan stood there quietly, his eyes brimming with vitality looking at the ancient tree, his mouth revealing a faint smile. The ancient tree was naturally the Seven Feelings Tree, it was the fear tree of the Seven Feelings Tree. And the reason why he was standing here today was obviously not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the tree. The Seven Feelings Tree was bare except for a single fruit at the top. Of course, it was not a beautiful scenery.    

The reason why he came here today was precisely to challenge this illusionary world and pluck the Seven Aura Fruit at the top of the tree. Six months had passed, and he had cultivated day and night, obtaining a glorious success. His War Qi cultivation had reached the third level of the Marshal Realm, and with his increase in War Qi cultivation, the strength of his soul had also increased. Therefore, he thought hard about it and decided that whether he could successfully break through the illusions or not was one thing. The most important thing was to test the results of his six months of cultivation.    

As for the seven ancient trees, why did they have to choose the Eternal Tree to test them out? There was a certain basis for this. Ye Qinghan knew his own personality and emotions. They represented seven different emotional illusions — joy, anger, grief, fear, love, evil, and desire.    

With his personality and two lifetimes of experience, this was the realm that had the least influence on his mind. What was there to be afraid of after dying once? Besides, he had killed many people in his life and had seen a lot of things, so there was nothing to be afraid of.    

He had experienced a few illusions and summed up his own personality. He came to a conclusion. Seven illusions of joy, anger, ku, evil. These four illusions had relatively less of an impact on him. And grief, grief, desire, on the other hand, had a great influence on his soul. The main reason was because of his personality, he valued relationships very much. As long as the illusions involved his loved ones and his loved ones, he would involuntarily sink into them, unable to extricate himself.    

Since there was nothing to fear, then he would just barge in. Ye Qinghan smiled slightly. After taking a few deep breaths, he had reached the most peaceful state of mind. He walked straight in the direction of the ancient tree and started walking slowly.    

As he stepped inside, the scenery around him began to change. The white mist slowly faded and a strange scene began to appear. Ye Qinghan did not mind, and continued walking.    

Although he was only a hundred metres away from the ancient tree, if Ye Qinghan ran at full speed, he could probably reach it in the blink of an eye. However, he naturally didn't dare to sprint, since the closer he got to the ancient tree, the stronger the illusion became. If they were to rush forward recklessly, if they encountered an inexplicable danger, they wouldn't even have the chance to run.    

One step, two steps … Twenty steps!    

The scene in front of his eyes had already changed countless times, the sky had already turned blood-red, and deep, strange sounds continuously rang out beside his ears. Most importantly, the fear deep within his soul had already begun to invade his mind under the influence of the illusions.    

Actually, the illusions in the Hallucination Realm were not particularly strong. As long as one could maintain their state of mind, any illusions would only be nothing to Ye Qinghan. It could influence Ye Qinghan's soul unceasingly while in the illusion. For example, in the illusion of fear, the thoughts that were buried deep in his heart would enlarge with the illusion and completely suppress other thoughts, causing him to become more and more timid compared to usual …    

"Hehe, you want to scare me with a little ghost aura and ghost music?" Ye Qinghan smiled faintly, not caring at all. He started to close his eyes, and immediately used War Qi to seal his sense of smell and hearing. He began to walk straight ahead like a robot.    

This technique was indeed effective. If one was unable to see or hear it, the effect on their mind would be lessened. However, after he continued to move forward for another ten meters, he realized that this move was useless.    

The closer they got to the ancient tree, the stronger the illusion became. Now, they actually didn't need to rely on their hearing to affect Ye Qinghan's mind. Instead, he forced the illusion to form in his mind. As long as Ye Qinghan's mind was still spinning, then the illusion would always affect him and if his mind was not spinning, he would not be able to control his body to move forward …    

The blood-colored sky became darker and darker. Ye Qinghan realized that he seemed to have arrived at a hillside that was filled with graves. The white flames of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower were floating in the air above these graves, and the wind blew from all directions. The air was blowing in all directions, and there were actually waves of creepy sounds, like the weeping of devils in hell, like the howling of Yan Luo's soul, like the moaning of corpses on the roadside … These things were obviously small tricks for Ye Qinghan. In his previous life, he had seen quite a few ghost movies and he had killed quite a few beasts in Fey Barbarians today. Of course he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of fear.    

But... It was no longer the same time. At this moment, within the Illusory Paradise, he was actually many times more timid than before. For example, if an adult were to watch a horror film, they wouldn't be afraid, but if a child was watching a terror film in the middle of the night, he or she would not be able to sleep at all.    

For the same reason, under the influence of the illusions, the fear in Ye Qinghan's heart was magnified infinitely. Of course, upon seeing such a terrifying situation, one would be afraid and would be frightened. In their hearts, they would naturally have the thought of shrinking back, and naturally, they would have the thought of leaving this place and quickly running away …    

"NO!" He couldn't retreat! This is all an illusion. I've already died once, what's there to be afraid of? At most, I will just die again. " Right now, Ye Qinghan's mind was filled with a crazy obsession. This obsession quickly overcame the fear that filled his mind. At that moment, he was incomparably clear-headed. Taking advantage of this thought, he started to run. He did not think of anything else, only running, looking at the tallest tree on the mountain not far away from him. There was a dark red fruit on the tree, emitting a faint red light.    

However, while he was running, he felt that he was being obstructed. He saw many ghastly white claws appearing in front of him, no. He didn't see them, but felt the white claws tugging at his pants and legs.    

This feeling was very strange. The clear-minded part was that he knew it was an illusion and that his body was not being obstructed. However, this illusion gave him a feeling that his body was being grabbed and his running speed was slowing down.    

"Fake, all of them are fake!" Ye Qinghan kept telling himself in his mind, constantly emphasizing that this was fake and his body couldn't be grabbed. However, his movements were involuntarily affected and began to slow down.    

"I can't leave this place anymore, otherwise I definitely won't be able to leave this White Bone Mountain!"    

He looked at the white bones in front of him growing more and more numerous, as far as the eye could see, and it was as if these white bones were constantly moving towards him. Right now, in Ye Qinghan's mind, such a thought suddenly popped out, and the idea quickly grew in size. At this moment, his intention to retreat was extremely strong. He almost couldn't hold it in anymore and turned around to run back.
