Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 703 - 723: Slaying Chu Yuankai

"That's right, this is an Illusion Stone, but the one you have is a very low-level one. Keep it in the Storage Belt separately. If you put it in your Storage Ring, it will cause your items to be transformed, and it would be very troublesome to find them later," said Sword Spirit.

"Does such a thing happen? This is practically useless. I might as well just throw it away," Chu Linfeng said with a bit of speechlessness. If his items were transformed, it would indeed be troublesome, such as elixirs turning into Star Stones or other herbs.

"Don't underestimate this Illusion Stone. It only appears in the Netherworld. Although it's not much use to you, it's very useful for your Nine-tailed Spirit Fox. Don't forget she's capable of illusion arts; you should remember how effective they were last time," Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng naturally hadn't forgotten the time the Purple Demon Thunder Fox transformed into Sima Jingyi. He couldn't tell the difference. If not for Sword Spirit's reminder, he would have been clueless. Since the Illusion Stone could allow flying here and help Mei Xiaoxiao, it was certainly something not to be missed.

Speaking of Mei Xiaoxiao, Chu Linfeng missed her immensely. He's unsure how her breakthrough is going. According to her, if she reaches the Nine-tailed stage, she could transform into a human, and with her beauty, he found this prospect somewhat exciting.

Subsequently, Chu Linfeng placed the Illusion Stone into his Storage Belt. Since it was useful, he naturally needed to find the next target and moved quickly in the area, constantly checking with his Divine Sense. Not long after, he discovered the next target.

About a hundred meters in front of Chu Linfeng, there were slight energy fluctuations. He knew it must be from a creature, so he quickly ran to ten meters in front of the energy fluctuation and stopped.

Just as he steadied himself, the ground trembled, and a creature about twice the size of the Bone Spirit he previously encountered appeared right in front of Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng wasn't afraid of the emerging creature. With his current defense power, he wouldn't fear the opponent. The first encounter was merely due to instinctual nervousness. However, this time he did not retreat but instead drew the Cyan Frost Sword and launched an Earth Slash at the creature before it could react.

Given Chu Linfeng's current strength, the attack power of the Earth Slash was formidable enough that even a master at the Fifth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm might not withstand it. The attack, imbued with the power of the Five Elements and Thunder Element, was devastating, cleaving the Bone Spirit that had just emerged from the ground in two.

Countless bones scattered on the ground, vanquished without any resistance. However, no Illusion Stone appeared this time, which surprised Chu Linfeng. Typically, such a large creature would surely have an Illusion Stone. He felt a bit helpless.

"Don't be surprised. I've told you not every Bone Spirit will yield an Illusion Stone. In this Land of the Dead, only those creatures that can transform into human forms will definitely carry Illusion Stones. These creatures could belong to any of the Five Great Races, with incredibly potent illusion arts. Be mentally prepared and don't let illusions deceive you," Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng nodded helplessly and continued forward. Unable to fly, he relied on Shift Form and Shadow to increase his speed. Along the way, he slew dozens of Bone Spirits, gaining only five Illusion Stones.

At this point, Chu Linfeng arrived at a lakeside. The water was clear and transparent, with plenty of fish and shrimp visible. He sat on a large rock by the lakeside to restore his Chaotic Dragon Power. The numerous Bone Spirits he had slain had consumed a significant amount of it.

While absorbing Star Stones, Chu Linfeng deliberately extended his Divine Sense to scan the surrounding hundreds of meters for any anomalies. However, unexpected events occurred after he entered meditation.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a gray robe appeared before Chu Linfeng, his appearance identical to Chu Yuankai's. As Chu Linfeng was absorbing the energy from the Star Stone, the man slowly approached him.

"Lin Feng, danger!" Sword Spirit hurriedly exclaimed.

Chu Linfeng immediately opened his eyes, but upon seeing Chu Yuankai before him, he was slightly stunned. "Father, why are you here? Leave quickly; this place is very dangerous."

"Feng'er, I specifically came to find you. How many Illusion Stones have you obtained? Give them to me quickly, I urgently need them," Chu Yuankai said.

Looking at Chu Yuankai, Chu Linfeng asked, "Father, how did you enter this Land of the Dead? What's the use of the Illusion Stone for you?"

"Feng'er, you needn't ask too much about this. I've been here for quite some time. I came into the Netherworld when you did. Now I urgently need the Illusion Stone to improve my strength. Hurry and give it to me," Chu Yuankai said.

Chu Linfeng looked at Chu Yuankai somewhat skeptically. Entering the Netherworld requires the cooperation of the Four Great Holy Beasts to open the Hexagram. How did he get in? Also, the Land of the Dead isn't just a place anyone can enter. Something strange is going on here.

"Father, I don't have any Illusion Stones. If you want Star Stones, I can give you some right now," Chu Linfeng said.

"Insolent child, I clearly saw you slay several Bone Spirits and yet you claim to have no Illusion Stones. How dare you deceive me? How could the Chu Family have such a disobedient person like you? It makes me furious," Chu Yuankai shouted.

Chu Linfeng was momentarily indecisive. Sword Spirit had once said that the illusions in the Land of the Dead could transform into one's relatives and friends. Now, the "father" before him was likely a creature disguising itself.

While Chu Linfeng was hesitating, Sword Spirit said, "Lin Feng, it's obvious this is an illusion created by a creature. Entering the Netherworld requires the help of the Four Great Holy Beasts. Perhaps you're overthinking. There's only one way to deal with such a person, and that's to cut them down." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"But he is my father. I really can't bring myself to kill my own father," Chu Linfeng said helplessly.

"Fool, the most powerful aspect of this Land of the Dead is its illusion arts. They can know everything in your heart. The stronger the creature, the more powerful this ability. They can fully comprehend the secrets in your heart. This guy only has average strength. If you don't kill him, you might be the one slain.

Don't think your defense is strong and you'll be fine. They can invade your body, devour your soul, and replace you. Trust me, it's unlikely your father would appear here; he's probably in the General's Mansion of the Celestial Dragon Empire right now," Sword Spirit said with a tone of reproach.

Chu Linfeng immediately understood, "You're right, the person before me can't possibly be my father. It's definitely a creature's illusion. I must kill it."

"Since Father wants the Illusion Stone, I'll give it to you. This place is extremely dangerous, so you should leave as soon as possible!" Chu Linfeng said to the Chu Yuankai in front of him.

"I know. The Netherworld is inherently very dangerous. Feng'er, you must be careful too," Chu Yuankai said.

Chu Linfeng then immediately drew the Cyan Frost Sword from his Storage Ring and shouted angrily, "You monster, how dare you impersonate my father? Go to hell!" A powerful sword qi shot out from the Cyan Frost Sword, swiftly attacking the Chu Yuankai opposite him…
