The World Awakens: Ten Consecutive Draws Before Invincibility

Chapter 54 - It’s All Smoke and Mirrors

Chapter 54: It’s All Smoke and Mirrors

Hearing Chen Feng’s words, Pu Yunmo was stunned.

“What do you mean?”

At that moment, the wooden boat was still drifting forward.

With the help of the waves, they would reach the Yamata-No-Orochi in twenty seconds at most.

“This is all fake. The Yamata-No-Orochi doesn’t exist.”

Chen Feng shook his head.

“Bullsh*t!” At this critical juncture, Pu Yunmo panicked.

“This snake monster is right in front of us. We can see and smell it!”

“It just killed a whole ship of people. Are you blind?”

“You look down at the waves on the sea, is that fake too?”

Pu Yunmo was extremely agitated. As he spoke, the veins on his arms bulged.

Chen Feng lowered his head to look at the side of the boat. The waves continued to crash over as the small wooden boat swayed on the surface of the sea, as though it could capsize at any moment.

However, he still shook his head. “It’s fake.”

“After inhaling too much white fog, we started to hallucinate.”

Chen Feng snapped his fingers at the air, and instantly, a gorgeous magic summoning array appeared. Immediately after, a cute doll that was 50cm tall flew out.

[Toy Doll]

This was the final boss of the [Red House Gynecology Hospital] dungeon. As Chen Feng’s level increased, he had reached Level 30.

“Eye of Truth!”

The doll’s skill was immediately activated, and Chen Feng’s eyes shone with a bright light.

Then, he looked ahead.

Where were the stormy waves? Where was the Yamata-No-Orochi? Where were the overturned wooden boats and sunken corpses?

Everything was like a mirage!

They were all fake fantasies!

In front of Chen Feng, the calm surface of the sea was filled with white fog. The end could not be seen, just like when they had first entered.

“Alright! I’ll believe you this once!”

Pu Yunmo said through gritted teeth.

He looked at the Yamata-No-Orochi in front of him, constantly stirring up huge waves. The distance between the two was very, very close. The Yamata-No-Orochi even opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite him…

Pu Yunmo simply closed his eyes.

Since it was an illusion, he could do whatever he wanted!

After closing his eyes, another half a minute passed, but nothing happened.

Pu Yunmo could only hear the sound of the wind.

He carefully opened his eyes and realized that the boat was safely passing through the Yamata-No-Orochi’s body.

The Yamata-No-Orochi was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, still stirring up trouble.

However, their small wooden boat and their bodies passed through unscathed.

It overlapped with everything else, like a model in a video game, but nothing happened.

Only Chen Feng and Sakurai Long, who were beside him, were quietly watching him.

“Uh…”

Pu Yunmo fell silent. The situation was indeed a little awkward.

He could only pretend that nothing had happened and ask Chen Feng, “Chen Feng, how did you guess that this was an illusion?”

Chen Feng smiled at him and gave an explanation.

“Just now, when the white fog dissipated slightly and we saw the person on the boat die before us, I had my suspicions.”

“Since we boarded the ship, the white fog has only a visibility range of two to three meters. Why can we suddenly see things that are a hundred meters away?”

“Could it be that the white fog is cooperating with the Yamata-No-Orochi to let us watch the murder scene just to scare us? Of course not, and it doesn’t make sense.”

“Therefore, I came to the conclusion that the white fog did not dissipate. The white fog that we saw was just an illusion.”

“Since the white fog is an illusion, what about the Yamata-No-Orochi?”

The Yamata-No-Orochi, the swaying sea, the dead Awakened, could it be all an illusion?

“With this thought, I used one of my contractual summons’ skills to see through the illusion.

Chen Feng turned his head and looked straight into Pu Yunmo’s eyes.

“If you had used a skill against the illusion, you would have died here.”

“The illusion will lead you down the ship, step by step, into this endless abyss!

Hearing that, Pu Yunmo shivered.

Only now did he realize how dangerous the situation had been.

One misstep and he would fall.

He could be buried at the bottom of the Japan Sea forever.

“Looks like… you saved my life again.” Pu Yunmo said with a bitter smile.

“It’s only right for being part of a team.” Chen Feng waved his hand.

“But we have a more serious problem… this white fog.”

Pu Yunmo and Sakurai Longzi were taken aback.

White fog?

What about the white fog?

Chen Feng looked at Sakurai Longzi and asked softly, “Do you still remember the legend you mentioned?”

“What’s wrong?”

“The fisherman sat on the boat and floated in the white fog on the sea. He said that he had come to the Yomi Kingdom and met the goddess of filth, Izanami.”

“Yes, why?” Sakurai Longzi asked curiously.

“The so-called Yomi Kingdom is also an illusion!”

Chen Feng said firmly.

Previously, he had been puzzled as to why the legend that Sakurai Longzi mentioned had a conflict with what he had heard in his previous life.

Back then, countless powerful Awakened had entered the [Gaotian Mystic Realm] to explore. Although there were countless deaths and injuries, according to the information they had brought back, that place was indeed Gaotian Plains, not the Yomi Kingdom.

And now, Chen Feng was certain.

On the other side of the white fog was indeed the entrance to the ‘Gaotian Mystic Realm’.

And the fisherman who had accidentally entered the Yomi Kingdom saw an illusion just like the Yamata-No-Orochi.

“The white fog here contains mysterious energy. Once you inhale it, you will hallucinate and die here.”

“The Yamata-No-Orochi is an illusion. The Yomi Kingdom is also an illusion.”

After hearing Chen Feng’s analysis.

Sakurai Longzi tilted her head and pondered for a moment before asking another question. “Why did the fisherman rot the next day and die that night? Is it fake? Or is it an illusion?”

“No, that was real.” Chen Feng’s expression was extremely serious.

“After the fisherman was rescued ashore the next day, his body began to rot and gradually die… This is because the white fog not only stimulates the illusion, it also contains poison.”

“A poison that causes death within 24 hours.”

“Then what about us!” Pu Yunmo exclaimed after hearing this.

“That’s right.”

Chen Feng nodded.

“We’ve inhaled too much white fog, so we’re already poisoned.”

Right then.

Bang! The wooden boat seemed to have hit something hard.

Everyone raised their heads to look and realized that the white fog had disappeared.

In its place was an endless island.

In the distance, there were bronze doors, palaces, and towering mountain peaks… All of them were shrouded under the night sky, making them appear especially dark and quiet.

In the day, it looked like a paradise.

At this moment, it was so sinister and terrifying.

This was not the Yomi Kingdom, but it was better than it.

Their destination…they had arrived!
