Chapter 298 Saying I'm a Demon Seed? I'll Just Burst the Haotian Mirror!
White Jade Square was deathly silent, like a graveyard.
The Haotian Demon-Revealing Mirror, which hangs above the Kunlun Heavenly Gate and is revered by thousands, now resembles a bloodshot demonic eye, projecting a crimson beam of light powerful enough to scorch the soul.
In the mirror, the abyssal demonic hand, covered in eyeballs and flowing with black water, was writhing wildly, as if trying to crawl out of reality and drag all living beings present into a bottomless hell.
"A demon...it really is a demon from the abyss!"
"Heavens! Ascension Island actually worships a member of the Abyss royal family!"
The various forces, initially intimidated by Lu Sheng's ferocious power, now clung to him like a lifeline, their fear instantly transforming into hysterical killing intent. In the True Sea, the abyss is an absolute taboo, an unforgivable original sin.
As long as this label is firmly attached, killing Lu Sheng is considered acting on behalf of Heaven!
"Where is the Kunlun Law Enforcement Team?!"
Lei Lie clutched his severed arm, his face, deathly pale from blood loss, contorted into a grotesque, maniacal elation: "The Haotian Mirror has revealed the evidence! The crime is irrefutable! Quickly activate the Heavenly Gate Killing Array and slay this fiend!!"
Buzz—! Buzz—! Buzz—!
With a fierce roar, nine great bells resounded simultaneously atop the main peak of Kunlun Mountain.
"Slay the demon!"
"Slay the demon!"
"Slay the demon!"
A unified roar of anger came from all directions. Hundreds of Kunlun enforcers, clad in golden armor and all possessing the aura of peak Spirit Sect masters, rode their flowing flying swords and instantly sealed off this area.
Further away, several terrifying divine senses belonging to high-level Spirit Kings, like searchlights, locked onto Lu Sheng, who was at the center of the storm.
Even a fly can't escape now.
Li Xiaoyao's Qingfeng sword clattered to the deck, his old face ashen.
It’s over.
This time it's truly a case of mud falling into your crotch; even if it wasn't excrement, it's still excrement. The Haotian Mirror is an ancient divine artifact that has never malfunctioned. If it has revealed the abyss, then Lu Sheng is the common enemy of all mankind.
"Lu Sheng..." Luo Tianfei stood at a distance, biting her red lips until they bled. Looking at the terrifying reflection in the mirror, a flicker of doubt crossed her heart for the first time. Could this guy... really be a monster in human skin?
Only Lu Sheng remained, his hands still in his pockets, standing in the center of that crimson pillar of light.
He even had the leisure to kick the pebbles on the ground with his toe.
"Tsk."
Lu Sheng looked up at the increasingly dazzling bronze mirror, then glanced at the so-called "righteous people" around him who wished they could devour him alive, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"A bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world."
Lu Sheng shook his head, his voice not loud, but carrying a lazy weariness: "A broken piece of glass, reflecting only a thin layer of skin, and you're already excited?"
"Still talking tough even when you're about to die!"
Lei Lie grinned maliciously, pointing his remaining left hand at the mirror: "Facts speak louder than words! That demonic hand in the mirror, was it some kind of magic trick you conjured?!"
"Magic hand?"
The deathly gray light in Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly flickered.
He slowly withdrew his right hand and made an extremely provocative gesture towards the enormous Haotian Mirror—raising his middle finger.
"Since you believe in this broken mirror so much..."
"Then let it shine inside."
Lu Sheng suddenly took a step forward.
boom!!
Deep within the spine of the great dragon, the Dharma image of the [Desolate Heavenly Emperor], who had been resting with his eyes closed, seemed to be getting a little impatient with the noisy commotion outside.
It has not fully awakened.
He only slightly opened his eyes a crack.
A gray mist, which did not belong to this world or even this dimension, silently seeped out from Lu Sheng's pores.
It is neither as evil and chaotic as the abyss, nor as dazzling and colorful as spiritual power.
It has only one characteristic—it is heavy.
That is the weight of time, the weight of the end of an era.
"Buzz—!!!!"
The Haotian Demon-Revealing Mirror, which was originally shining brightly, suddenly emitted an extremely piercing groan, similar to the sound of metal being forcibly twisted, the moment that wisp of gray mist touched the mirror light.
The image reflected in the mirror has changed.
The abyssal demonic hand that had originally occupied the entire mirror now seemed to have encountered its natural enemy. Its countless eyes revealed extreme terror as it desperately tried to shrink into the corner of the mirror.
But it cannot escape.
Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes.
The image in the mirror began to zoom out and enlarge.
People finally saw it clearly.
That terrifying, overwhelming abyssal demonic hand is not the main character at all.
It... is just a base.
Or, it could be a stepping stone.
Above that demonic hand, a huge foot wearing ancient gray-white war boots was slowly descending, using it as a stepping stone.
The screen continues to pan upwards.
Leg armor, battle skirt, breastplate... all the way to that emperor's head, which seemed to soar into the clouds and was shrouded in chaotic mist.
That was an unparalleled divine figure carrying a five-colored divine wheel and surrounded by an aura of ancient desolation!
He didn't look at the demonic hand.
He simply stood there quietly, as if he had just stepped on a bug, his indifferent gaze looking down at the ants and other creatures outside the mirror.
"Click."
A faint, yet clear, shattering sound came from above the Heavenly Gate.
A crack appeared on the pristine surface of the Haotian Demon-Revealing Mirror.
Then came the second, the third...
"No... how is this possible?!"
Lei Lie's sinister smile froze instantly, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
The Haotian Mirror... is cracked?!
This is a divine artifact capable of revealing the very essence of a Spirit Emperor! What is it illuminating? What exactly is it reflecting?!
"roar--!!"
The abyssal demonic hand in the mirror let out a shrill scream, and then, in full view of everyone, was crushed into black dust by the emperor's war boot.
That was an absolute crushing defeat in terms of status.
abyss?
At the edge of desolation, even the abyss must kneel!
"puff--!!"
The seven Kunlun enforcers responsible for controlling the formation coughed up blood almost simultaneously, their bodies flying backward as if struck by a heavy hammer, their magic discs shattering into pieces.
"Stop!! Stop now!!"
An elderly Kunlun man with white hair and beard fell from the void, disregarding his appearance, and screamed hoarsely, "The mirror is going to explode!! Cut off the spiritual source!!"
late.
Lu Sheng stood in the center of the square, his eyes, now completely ashen gray, meeting the gaze of the emperor's reflection in the mirror.
"What kind of mirror is this, that it dares to look at me like that?"
Lu Sheng sneered, and his right hand, which was pointing the middle finger, suddenly clenched into a fist.
"broken!"
This single word is like the final Mount Sumeru that crushes the camel.
"BOOM——————!!!!"
The Haotian Demon-Revealing Mirror, which had hung at the Kunlun Heavenly Gate for thousands of years, shattered at this moment!
Countless bronze fragments, imbued with the power of laws, shot out indiscriminately in all directions like a deadly meteor shower.
"run!!"
"Shield!! Activate the shield!!"
The square instantly descended into chaos.
Those powerful figures from various sects who were just shouting for battle were now wishing they had two more legs and were running away in panic.
A piece of lens the size of a palm, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, whistled past Lei Lie's cheek.
puff.
Half an ear, along with a large piece of scalp, was shaved off.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Lei Lie clutched his blood-soaked head, writhing on the ground in pain, completely devoid of the dignity befitting a Spirit King.
Smoke and dust billowed, and jagged rocks pierced the sky.
This is hardly a sacred place like Tianmen! This is clearly the scene of a massive demolition accident!
A full half-cup of tea time had passed.
The commotion gradually subsided.
The once majestic Tianmen Archway has been half destroyed by the bomb.
That ancient mirror, which symbolized the majesty of Kunlun, is now just an empty bronze frame, hanging forlornly in the wind, creaking and groaning mockingly.
Lu Sheng stood in the center of the ruins.
Within a three-meter radius around him, everything was spotless, without a speck of dust.
The moment all the fragments approached him, they were silently devoured by the Five Elements Cycle of Life and Death, and transformed into his nourishment.
"belch."
Lu Sheng patted off imaginary dust from his body and glanced at the so-called powerful figures around him, who were covered in dust and still in shock.
"Who just said that was a demon seed?"
Lu Sheng pointed to the still-smoking mirror shards on the ground and spread his hands innocently: "This thing is of poor quality. I was just looking in the mirror, how did it explode?"
"Could it be..."
Lu Sheng grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his smile utterly wicked: "This mirror is a counterfeit product too, isn't it? Did your Kunlun purchasing department take kickbacks?"
The entire room fell silent.
Only the mournful sound of the wind blowing through the ruins could be heard.
Lei Lie lay on the ground, trembling as he looked at the man standing in the light and shadow.
It wasn't just the pain, it was also the fear.
Just a moment ago, the figure he saw in the mirror... it wasn't human at all! It was a terrifying sight that surpassed the limits of their understanding!
Even the divine artifact couldn't detect it; instead, it burst open... What the hell kind of monster is this?!
Just then.
That's enough.
An old, calm voice, seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe, suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The voice was devoid of any anger, yet it instantly stopped the Five Elements Light Wheel behind Lu Sheng's head from spinning.
An unprecedented sense of crisis made Lu Sheng's bones stand on end.
All that could be seen was at the end of the Tianmen ruins.
An elderly man dressed in hemp clothing and barefoot appeared there at some unknown time.
He was holding a broken broom, slowly sweeping away the shards of mirror on the ground.
He was clearly an old man who swept the floor.
Even the Spirit King realm experts present bowed down the moment they saw him, not daring to breathe.
"A hidden master?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, but his body was tense to the extreme.
This old man... is very strong.
He's better than everyone I've ever met before.
After sweeping away the last fragment, the old man slowly raised his head, his cloudy old eyes looking at Lu Sheng.
"They shattered the Haotian Mirror and demolished half of the Heavenly Gate."
The old man spoke calmly, as if remarking on the pleasant weather: "How do you plan to repay this debt on Immortal Island?"
"return?"
Despite the immense pressure, Lu Sheng not only didn't retreat but instead took a step forward.
"Old man, even when you're trying to stage an accident, there are basic rules to follow."
Lu Sheng pointed to the empty glasses frame above his head, his clear voice carrying throughout the room:
"It's clearly because your mirrors are too small to fit my body."
"Is this my fault too?"
