Heaven Shrouding Chronicles

Chapter 40: The realm of the devil!

“Utterly stupid?!”

Listening to the Black Mist Person’s evaluation, Lu An’s smile instantly froze, and his expression turned ugly. But after only two breaths, he calmed down, without any displeasure on his face. Instead, he cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Senior, please guide me.”

Seeing Lu An’s emotional state, the Black Mist Person was somewhat surprised and said, “At the very beginning, six people were Encirclement and suppression the Heavenly Spirit Flame Leopard. You attacked one of them by surprise, and the other five discovered you. This was your biggest mistake.”

“At that time, all six people’s energy was drawn to the Heavenly Spirit Flame Leopard, and their Tian Yuan Power consumption had already exceeded half, greatly reducing their perception. At that time, you didn’t need to get close to launch a sneak attack; you could have simply thrown Mystic Deep Cold Ice from a distance to injure the enemy. In other words, you completely delivered yourself into the opponent’s perception range.”

“This was originally a battle that could have been completely avoided, but because of your wrong choice, it directly led to you and that girl falling into such a predicament. Even during your skirmish with those two, you almost got caught. Those two were skilled in wood and earth respectively, but wood and earth are incompatible. You had a great chance to restrain them but failed to do so. Your practical combat experience is far from enough.”

Lu An’s expression grew increasingly grim upon hearing this. Indeed, thinking back now, the opponents had no defenses when he first launched his sneak attack. There was no need for him to actively walk over and attack from behind.

His heart, which had been secretly rejoicing, instantly turned cold. He then looked up at the Black Mist Person, gazing at the opponent’s eyes, which seemed like an endless black hole, and respectfully said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”

The Black Mist Person looked at Lu An’s respectful demeanor and nodded with satisfaction. Then, thinking of something, he frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and said, “I am going to teach you a secret technique.”

“Secret technique?” Lu An’s somewhat dejected heart instantly lifted. He widened his eyes, looked at the Black Mist Person, and asked, “What secret technique? Is it a Heavenly Skill?”

Sky Realm can also learn Heavenly Skill; Lu An was well aware of this.

“It is a Heavenly Skill, but not an ordinary Heavenly Skill. It is the power attached to the Destiny Wheel.” The Black Mist Person’s voice gradually became solemn, as if speaking of an extremely important matter. He said, “I cannot always be awake, and you might encounter a life-threatening situation. Originally, I didn’t want to teach you this secret art so early, but for your safer growth, it is better to teach it to you.”

“Please guide me, Senior!” Lu An quickly said!

“The secret art I am teaching you is neither Nine Heavens Holy Fire nor Mystic Deep Cold Ice, but a unique secret art brought to you by the Fusion of your mother’s Destiny Wheel with the Twin Ice and Fire Destiny Wheels.” The Black Mist Person paused, then said solemnly, “Demon God Realm!”

“Demon God Realm?” Lu An was stunned, asking in confusion, “What is that?”

“I said that every Destiny Wheel has its own unique secret art. Your mother’s Destiny Wheel’s attribute is inclusiveness, and its secret art is the God Realm.” The Black Mist Person explained in detail, word by word, “God Realm is breaking through a person’s strength barrier, greatly increasing strength in a short period of time. Of course, the duration is limited, and it will also cause great fatigue after it ends.”

“And after your mother’s Destiny Wheel combined with Nine Heavens Holy Fire and Mystic Deep Cold Ice, it transformed into the even more peculiar Demon God Realm. The strength increase is several times stronger than God Realm. However, Demon God Realm will bring you a very strong malevolence, even devouring your consciousness and turning you into a killing machine!”

Lu An’s brows furrowed, and his heart sank. Losing consciousness was not a good thing.

“The day your parents were killed, you unintentionally entered the Demon God Realm due to anger. At that time, you hadn’t even undergone Body Tempering and weren’t even considered Sky Realm, yet you effortlessly killed a First-Level Celestial Master, a First-Tier Strange Beast, and a squad of soldiers.” The Black Mist Person said solemnly, “But at that time, you also completely lost consciousness. What I am going to teach you now is how to gradually master the Demon God Realm, allowing you to use it while trying to preserve your consciousness.”

Lu An was startled upon hearing this. Maintaining consciousness while using the Demon God Realm instantly filled his heart with joy, but he also knew that learning it would be extremely difficult. He took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, “Junior will give it my all!”

The Black Mist Person smiled at this, saying with satisfaction, “Neither arrogant nor impatient, a teachable child.”

Following this, the black mist on the ground around Lu An slowly rose and converged onto Lu An’s body. Lu An watched this strange scene without dodging; he knew this must be the Black Mist Person’s doing.

“You are very lucky,” the Black Mist Person said. “To control the Demon God Realm, the most important thing is to be able to completely control your Sea of Consciousness. And since I am in your Sea of Consciousness, I can help you transform your Sea of Consciousness and strengthen the connection between your Sea of Consciousness and your body. Controlling the Demon God Realm will not be a difficult task.”

As soon as the words fell, the black mist had already touched Lu An’s body. Lu An didn’t feel any discomfort; instead, he felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body.

“Just like this?” Lu An felt a little confused. This was a world of difference compared to the previous Body Tempering.

“Of course not.” The Black Mist Person seemed to hear Lu An’s thoughts and said with a smile, “This is just to strengthen the communication between your body and Sea of Consciousness. The real trial hasn’t begun yet.”

“Trial?” Lu An was startled and said, “Senior, please guide me.”

“I said, the Demon God Realm will produce immense malevolence and will devour your consciousness. So your trial is to remain conscious under any circumstances,” the Black Mist Person said.

“Remain conscious?” Lu An was a little confused and asked, “How do I practice this?”

“It’s very simple.” The Black Mist Person smiled, then with a wave of his hand, a scene instantly appeared between the two.

It was the scene by the Lujiang River, of his parents and himself being hunted down.

Behind them, Snow Wolves were chasing rapidly, and in front, his family on horseback was desperately fleeing. Seeing this, Lu An’s eyes instantly turned red!

At the same time, his pupils instantly turned from white to red, and a Hell-like aura quietly spread, turning the entire black space into a bloody dark red.

“Control your anger.” The Black Mist Person frowned slightly, and his ancient voice, like a ringing bell, instantly echoed in the Sea of Consciousness. At the same time, Lu An’s body trembled, and his expression changed!

“Remember the state of your body now, remember how you came to the Demon God Realm, but also control your emotions, and don’t be swallowed by slaughter!” The Black Mist Person said slowly, his voice sweeping through the entire Sea of Consciousness like river water, instantly pulling Lu An’s thoughts back.

“As long as you remember the method to enter the Demon God Realm and can control your emotions, you will be able to master the Demon God Realm,” the Black Mist Person continued. “This is very simple, and also very difficult. Here, I can help you recall your consciousness, but when you are awake, I am powerless. In the future, whenever you come here, I will help you with the trial. Whether you succeed depends on yourself.”

With that, the black mist slowly dissipated, and the entire person vanished from the space.

In the vast Sea of Consciousness, only Lu An remained, surrounded by black mist, his pupils emitting a painful light, watching the scene of his parents being killed over and over again, his face filled with pain and ferocity.

Five hours later.

It was late at night, and the sky above had turned pitch black. The moonlight was very dim, and only a faint light penetrated into the cave through the tree branches. At this moment, Kong Yan, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in them.

Lightly exhaling, Kong Yan felt that her Tian Yuan Power had recovered by seventy to eighty percent, and her body was filled with strength. She turned to look at Lu An, who was still sleeping against the earthen wall not far away. After thinking for a moment, she got up and walked over.

“Lu An, wake up, we can go now.” Kong Yan said as she walked towards Lu An, but Lu An showed no reaction. She only thought Lu An was sleeping very soundly, so she came to Lu An’s side and squatted down.

When she saw Lu An’s face covered in sweat and his pale complexion, she was immediately startled. She quickly helped Lu An up, her voice becoming urgent as she quickly shouted, “Lu An! Wake up, Lu An!”

She didn’t know that during those five hours, Lu An had witnessed his parents die in front of him—three hundred times.
