Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 194

194 Former War Demigod

This gigantic illusionary realm that enveloped Lunan City was not so much a whole, but rather a combination of small illusionary realms. There were gaps between the individual illusionary realms.

Lu Yu tried to break the surface at a certain point, thinking that he could make this gigantic illusionary realm collapse completely. However, he found that with his current strength, he was unable to do that and could only achieve some interference.

“Looks like I have to increase the power of my Illusionary Realm Kingdom,” Lu Yu said in a low voice.

His next illusionary realm target was one that trapped a Grand Master powerful expert. Lu Yu dove straight in, and immediately, his senses were assaulted by the stench of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Like Zhang Hong, Zhang Xilai was also a veteran soldier who participated in the Holy War back then. The difference was that one gradually dropped in level until he became an ordinary person while the other became a highly respected Grand Master.

The tragic battle was replayed in the illusionary realm. Zhang Xilai battled fiercely with a steady stream of Fearsome Beasts that kept charging at him. His eyes were bulging with rage as he watched his teammates drop down one after another, but could not do anything about it.

“Behind me are tens of thousands of families. I can never let you beasts take one step forward!” Zhang Xilai roared in fury.

As his war comrades fell one by one, he was left all alone, blocking an endless stream of Fearsome Beasts herds. Eventually he was outnumbered. Just then, Lu Yu interfered with this illusionary realm.

At the final moment, people from the Gamma Military Zone arrived to guard the city behind Zhang Xilai.

Then, the purple eye appeared and transformed into a human form. While Zhang Xilai was still in a daze, Lu Yu instantly appeared and slashed down with a ray of saber light, killing the human figure.

“Thank you for saving my life, Senior.” Looking at Lu Yu's brutal aggressiveness, Zhang Xilai's jaw dropped, and then he uttered his thanks through grateful tears.

“We were both veteran soldiers of the Holy War back then. It is only right that we help each other. Follow me out of this illusionary realm.” Lu Yu held the blood-stained saber and said calmly.

A look of surprise flashed across Zhang Xilai's eyes. Such an incredibly powerful Great Grand Master was actually a veteran soldier of the Holy War? In that case, he must be quite well-known back then, but why did he have no impression of this guy at all?

And what was going on with this illusionary realm?

After Zhang Xilai returned to the real world, he soon understood what was going on and his face revealed the exact same shocked look as all the cultivators who were rescued before him.

Boom! Lu Yu broke through the barrier at the edge of the blood-sucking wasteland and entered it. First, he rescued Song Yu, Qin Yong and Li Tieniu, and then he followed up by rescuing the platoon captains and the battalion captains one after another.

“Fortunately, we still have Advisor Lu. Otherwise we might really die in the illusionary realm.” These rescued battalion captains still felt apprehensive as they recalled the horrific scenes of despair in the illusionary realm.

“General Wang is still trapped in the illusionary realm. Advisor Lu, please! You must save him!” Ouyang Wen said urgently.

If anything were to happen to a military zone's General, it would be a major loss to the military zone. Lu Yu was also well aware of this, and he immediately went to look for Wang Lu.

A few moments later, Lu Yu found the illusionary realm that trapped Wang Lu, and after entering it, an odd look crept over his face.

In Wang Lu's illusionary realm, this version of General Wang, with his upper body naked, was slaying Fearsome Beast after Fearsome Beast in a mad fury.

“Dammit! Are you tired of living? How dare you cause trouble for me? Don't you know what they used to call me in my younger days?” Wang Lu yelled brusquely.

That earth-shattering aura emanating from his body made thousands of Fearsome Beasts fearful of approaching him, as if he was the king of tigers.

“This aura is above that of a War General…” In the illusionary realm, Lu Yu felt the aura on Wang Lu and got a big shock.

From the first time he met Wang Lu, he did not sense any powerful aura in Wang Lu's body, so he assumed that the General did not have much cultivation. Much to his surprise, the General turned out to be a War Demigod!

“How could he have no cultivation at all if he could rise to become one of the three major forces in a military zone, second only to the Military Lord?” Lu Yu asked with a self-deprecating laugh.

Wang Lu became more and more ferocious, swinging his ax and cutting down Fearsome Beast after Fearsome Beast to the ground. As the sharp ax devoured the blood, it emitted an evil aura, more terrifying than any S-class weapon.

“This illusionary realm is also incredibly realistic. It is actually able to simulate everything I have experienced before, to the extent that it can even simulate my earlier cultivation level. In that case, I shall not hold back.”

“Back then, I was also a War Demigod. If I hadn't suffered a serious injury and my cultivation level dropped, the illusionary realm of a mere SS-class Fearsome Beast wouldn't be able to trap me.”

Wang Lu laughed madly. His body exuded a flamboyant and stable temperament, in the same way that he wouldn't bat an eyelid in the face of an avalanche. He talked incessantly and Lu Yu thought something was wrong as he listened to Wang Lu. It sounded like he was pouring his heart out to someone.

“You brat! From the first moment you entered the illusionary realm, I sensed you. After watching the drama here for so long, you still don't want to get your ass out here!” Wang Lu scolded with a laugh.

Lu Yu froze for a moment, then showed himself and said with an embarrassed laugh, “It is I who lacked perception. I didn't realize that General Wang is a legendary War Demigod. Since General Wang has such incredible strength, I shall not interrupt you anymore.”

“Stop right there!” Wang Lu barked. “If I could leave, why would I wait for you to come?”

Although his realm had dropped from the level of War Demigod, he still possessed the heart of a War Demigod. Thus, this illusionary realm could not affect him. In fact, he could even experience the long-lost lost power he used to have in this illusionary realm.

However, the illusionary realm was ultimately false right from the start. Although the illusion could not affect him, he could not get out of it either.

Suddenly, a flash of purple light appeared in Lu Yu's eyes. As the Illusionary Realm Kingdom was activated, it enveloped Wang Lu in its midst, and in the next moment, it took him out of this illusionary realm.

“This brat actually possesses an illusionary realm similar to that of the SS-class Fearsome Beast. He generated a smaller illusionary realm within this illusionary realm to take me away.”

Wang Lu's gaze was so sharp and keen that he saw through Lu Yu's method at once. Now that Wang Lu was rescued, Ouyang Wen and the others also gained a main support.

Looking at these battalion captains, Wang Lu said with a grim look, “Gentlemen, I'm going to give an order next. Whether the crisis of Lunan City can be completely resolved is dependent on this move.”

Did Wang Lu have a solution to get rid of this gigantic illusionary realm? Lu Yu's expression turned solemn suddenly as he wanted quietly for Wang Lu to continue. The battalion captains and the platoon captains of the First Military Unit also held their breath and stared at him.

“This huge illusionary realm is made up of a patchwork of small illusionary realms. It is not a solid piece, so there must be some kind of loophole somewhere.”

Wang Lu said exactly what had gone through Lu Yu's mind earlier. As a former War Demigod, although he had lost the original cultivation, his insight and experience was still there. He hit the nail right on the head.

However, how were they to find this loophole and make this illusionary realm collapse completely? Lu Yu could not think of a way.

Wang Lu continued, “After years of battling Fearsome Beasts on the front line, all the federal government's major military zones got a good understanding of the characteristics of the Fearsome Beasts which were then collated into books. With regard to the characteristics of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon, we naturally have its record.”
