Chapter 654: Lin Yuerou’s Breakthrough
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The formidable shadow’s attack blew Lin Yuerou far back. The dark space was like a cage trapping her inside.
No wonder then that Illusion God had said that even he wasn’t able to clear this layer. It was because this juncture put her face to face with her inner demons.
The stronger they were, the easier it was to be corrupted by them in the final layer of the Mythical Realm!
It was most likely that the Illusion God had been unable to conquer his inner demons, which meant that he couldn’t clear the fifth layer.
The task of conquering one’s inner demons was truly too difficult!
Lin Yuerou felt an unprecedented amount of despair.
Outside the fifth layer, the transcending experts were waiting for Lin Yuerou to return safely so they could all leave together! But a long time had already passed, but she still hadn’t come out of the fifth layer.
Could it be truly be as the Illusion God said that once she entered, she wouldn’t be able to come out? That was impossible!
Given their city lord’s intelligence, they were certain that she would be able to clear it regardless of how difficult the fifth layer was. But there had been no news until then, and their hearts had become somewhat tensed, if being truthful.
Was it possible that Lin Yuerou had lost?
Yet if she had failed the fifth layer, the Illusion God would have taken the initiative to appear in front of them. However, he was nowhere to be seen, which meant that Lin Yuerou still had a chance.
All they could do was wait until she returned. On this trip, they had come to greatly rely on their female city lord.
Without her, Lucky Wind City would have probably fallen already!
The supreme transcending experts wondered what exactly was it that formed the basis of Lin Yuerou’s confidence, which allowed her to preserve until then.
While Lin Yuerou was feeling anxious, something major happened, as she had expected.
The shadow which had attacked her just then began to continuously split, Moreover, each of the shadows surprisingly had the same appearance as Li Yunmu.
.....
What exactly was going on there? Why was it splitting? And why transform into so many versions of the same person? How was she to deal with them?
Given her strength, how could she possibly be an opponent to so many split shadows? Her gaze filled with astonishment when she saw the number of shadows continue on increasing. Soon it seemed like she had been entrapped in a circle of black qi.
Lin Yuerou began to gasp for breath, finally losing her composure under enormous pressure. She raised her long sword and struck toward the shadows without stopping!
“Get lost! You are all just imitations, you aren’t Li Yunmu, you are all fakes!”
The shadows began to laugh in a sinister way at her display of emotion. This laughter caused Lin Yuerou to fall even further into despair.
These ‘Li Yunmus’, could they be her inner demons taken form? If she continued to allow them to spread, she would become a slave of the darkness and would be eternally dominated by the dark space.
By relying on her firm determination, Lin Yuerou kept defending the little bit of self-awareness remaining in her mind.
She couldn’t lose her mind. She would definitely prevail over her inner demons. As long as she could eliminate them, she would be able to leave the mythical realm.
At that time, Lin Yuerou finally found the method to clear the mythical realm.
“I understand! Illusion God, it’s your loss in the end! I will soon leave this mythical realm!”
With her gaze still on the black shadows, she coldly asked, “Don’t you all intend to attack me? Still want to disturb my heart? I will make you disappear for all time!”
The long sword in her hand slashed towards the countless shadows. The blade ripped through the darkness as if it were illuminated by dawn from another space.
This was Lin Yuerou’s method to prevail over her inner demons!
Only by destroying the countless shadows would she be able to leave the fifth layer of the mythical realm.
Outside, the supreme transcending level experts were already waiting impatiently for her return.
As the backbone of Lucky Wind City, if she truly didn’t come out, the city would have no way to give an explanation to Li Yunmu.
The long sword destroyed the shadows, but they quickly congealed again. Moreover, their faces filled with sinister smiles.
When she saw that, despair rose once more in Lin Yuerou’s heart. No wonder only one person could enter the fifth layer!
A demon existed in the depths of everyone’s heart. Some people could suppress it, while others didn’t care for it, allowing the demon to gradually evolve.
The countless split shadows in front of her were perhaps a very good analogy.
They were like her inner demons: indestructible, inescapable, eternally concealed in the depths of her heart and suddenly erupting forth at an unknown time.
But Lin Yuerou was someone who understood self-control, and she suddenly discovered the mythical realm’s weak point. Since the fifth layer was formed on the basis of the shadow in a person’s heart, as long as Lin Yuerou thoroughly discarded the shadow in her heart, she could easily clear the layer.
Lin Yuerou took a deep breath and sneered at the shadows. “You all think that by taking this appearance, you can corrupt me with your darkness? I need to tell you something—dream on!
“Yes, the shadow in my heart is indeed Li Yunmu. He has shown me kindness and I feel grateful toward him, but he isn’t an enemy existing in the depths of my heart, so don’t think that digging him from my heart will cause me to be degraded by darkness!
“You are all mistaken! I like him, and you want to turn the person I like into my heart’s shadow? Truly ridiculous!”
Lin Yuerou’s long sword ripped apart the darkness again, and the countless shadows in the dark space were instantly destroyed. They no longer showed any signs of being about to rise up again.
Lin Yuerou began to gasp. Saying the things concealed in the depths of her heart had required a lot of courage.
The darkness was instantly destroyed, and the shadows faded out of existence. Unexpectedly though, before they were fully gone, their sinister smiles were replaced by genuine ones.
It startled Lin Yuerou—this was the real appearance of Li Yunmu in her heart. Yet it was also good. She could finally confront him honorably.
“I know that you’re only a shadow, but still, I want to tell you something: Li Yunmu, I will never abandon you!”
