Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Terrible Illusion

Lin Shen only felt as if the world before his eyes had become the bizarre creation of an abstract painter, filled with indescribable, strange and erratic phenomena.

The trees seemed to have come to life, turning into monsters that uprooted themselves from the ground. They didn’t attack Lin Shen; rather, they started wiggling and dancing like they were performing a driving test maneuver, the main feature of which was absurdity.

The white clouds in the sky dripped down like milk. Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t milk at all, but rather bubbles from a bathtub, in which a beautiful woman was having a bubble bath in the sky.

“Those bubbles are really in your sister’s place,” Lin Shen’s mind was exceptionally excited as he saw a rope extending all the way to the sky, connected to the bathtub.

Lin Shen dashed towards the rope and started climbing up, “Beauty, wait for me, I’m coming to have kids with you…”

Meanwhile, Wei Wufu was lying on the ground, his arms and legs thrashing fiercely, first doing the breaststroke, then the butterfly, followed by the backstroke, all the while muttering to himself, “Swimming… easy… everyone can… don’t be afraid…”

Seeing the abnormal behavior of Lin Shen and Wei Wufu, his first reaction was to grab Zheng Yan by the collar and fly straight up into the sky, reaching high altitudes in an instant.

With Lin Shen in such a state, no one would suspect that it was Lin Shen who had lured him into a trap.

Of course, at this time, Zheng Guyuan had no idea that this was a trap, thinking that the appearance of the Purple Crystal Mushroom Beast was a mere fluke.

After all, he didn’t know that such a sinister Black-Capped Mushroom Beast was plotting against him, so he didn’t immediately feel the urge to kill Lin Shen.

Zheng Guyuan felt his mind was somewhat off; the view before him seemed hazy. Just as he was about to do something, he suddenly felt that Zheng Yan, whom he was holding, seemed a bit off.

Looking down, he saw Zheng Yan hugging his legs and licking them wildly with his tongue, a perverted smile on his face, saying as he licked, “Delicious… truly delicious…”

Zheng Guyuan gritted his teeth, threw Zheng Yan down, and turned his head to search for Lin Shen in the forest, intending to kill him first to prevent any problems.

But as he turned his head, what he saw before him was no longer a forest, but a giant Spirit Base Sea.

Various Spirit Bases were piled up together like an ocean, each shining brightly and seemingly with Spirit Patterns flowing within them.

“Spirit Bases… so many Spirit Bases… an illusion… no… the Spirit Bases are all mine…” Zheng Guyuan at first still had some willpower, wanting to escape far away, even cutting himself with his sword in an attempt to stay lucid, but in vain, as he was slowly overcome.

If the Steel Level Poison Mushroom Beast could induce hallucinations in Wei Wufu, then the hallucinogenic ability of this mutated Purple Crystal Mushroom Beast was obviously many times more potent, to the extent that even Ascenders couldn’t escape it.

With no one controlling it, Zheng Guyuan’s red Jade Sword fell crookedly and stuck into the forest soil.

Zheng Guyuan’s mouth split into a grin, drooling, as he dropped his backpack and belongings, falling down like an idiot, reaching out to grab branches from the trees.

“Mine… all mine… I will become the strongest Ascender…”

All were plunged into madness, and at this moment, a black figure appeared in the forest in the distance, like a killer wearing a conical hat, coldly observing the few who were trapped in illusions.

Instead of approaching Lin Shen and the others, it went to the carcass of the Purple Crystal Mushroom Beast, leapt up, and delivered a beautiful spin kick, bursting the damaged cap of the Purple Crystal Mushroom Beast.

Countless purple dust particles, hard to see with the naked eye, burst out, gathering together to envelop a large area nearby like smoke and mist.

Looking over at Lin Shen and the others shrouded in the purple haze, the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast revealed a sinister smile at the corner of its mouth.

The next second, the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast suddenly leaped in front of Zheng Guyuan, launching a barrage of silky smooth combos, its foreclaws and hindclaws raining down on Zheng Guyuan with the ferocity of a tempest, beating him back repeatedly like a savagely battered heavy bag.

Yet, on his face remained a satisfied smile as he kept saying, “They’re all mine… all mine…”

Boom!

Finally, Zheng Guyuan’s body crashed into a large tree, breaking the steel-thick trunk, his clothes torn into shreds hanging like tatters.

The exposed skin and muscles were a bruised array of blues and purples, looking quite terrible, yet the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast seemed to size him up with some uncertainty.

Without the protection of the Carapace Guard, the Crystal Base Level Black-Capped Mushroom Beast, even with all its strength, could only leave him bruised, unable to inflict a fatal wound. Such physical resilience was indeed terrifying.

The eyes of the Black Cap Mushroom Beast spun, as if it had thought of something, and it turned to run towards another place.

Lin Shen was hugging a sapling, thick as a fist, climbing and climbing as if trying to ascend to the heavens, yet unable to make it no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, Lin Shen jolted, the bizarre scene before him growing even more absurd, the entire world seeming about to twist out of shape.

Afterward, the distortion in his vision slowly corrected itself, and Lin Shen could gradually feel the power inside him flowing in accordance with Evolution Theory.

It was only now that Lin Shen realized he had been influenced by a hallucination but Evolution Theory had saved him, pulling him out of the illusion.

It wasn’t just a simple extraction, Evolution Theory was enhancing and mutating his body, granting him a certain resistance to the root cause of the hallucinations.

This was an ongoing process. Lin Shen’s world of distortions hadn’t fully stabilized, and Evolution Theory hadn’t stopped operating, indicating that his enhancement and mutation weren’t finished.

After a while, Lin Shen felt that the twisted world before him had almost returned to normal, at least he could clearly see what was in front of him now.

Not far from him, Wei Wufu was continuously changing postures as if swimming, and in another place, Zheng Yan was hugging a branch, licking and kissing it with a perverted smile, god only knew what he was doing in his hallucination.

Even Zheng Guyuan seemed crazy, plucking at the nearby steel grass and branches, muttering something to himself.

“Such formidable hallucinatory power, can even Ascenders not escape unscathed?” Lin Shen was both shocked and delighted in his heart.

He was shocked at the ability of the Purple Crystal Mushroom Beast, but delighted that Evolution Theory could allow him to withstand it, a power that even Ascenders couldn’t resist.

Suddenly, Lin Shen heard some noise, as if something was being dragged through the steel forest, and he quickly hugged the sapling again to continue his performance.

During the lull in the performance, Lin Shen sneaked a peek and saw the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast dragging a red Jade Sword over.

This red Jade Sword was only three to four feet in length and as wide as three fingers, which for an ordinary human was considered fairly large, but for a Crystal-based Creature, how heavy could such a large sword be?

It was clear to see that the sword must be truly heavy, as the Crystal Base Level Black-Capped Mushroom Beast was dragging it over.

Lin Shen instantly recognized the red Jade Sword as Zheng Guyuan’s Blade of the Heart, his heart stirring.

Whether it was Life Base, Spirit Base, or Blade of the Heart, in essence, they were all the same thing, a tool condensed by Ascenders.

While an Ascender lived, the Life Base was one with them, but if an Ascender died, the Life Base could be preserved for others to use, at which point it became known as a Spirit Base.

Because the Blade of the Heart inherently had spirit, it could exist independently, not perishing alongside the Ascender.

In the battles of Ascenders, it was very common to plunder the Blades of the Heart of other creatures for their own use.

After all, each Ascender could only condense a single Blade of the Heart; the rest had to be seized.
