Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

200 The Voice in the Church

That mighty mental power instantly permeated outwards in the vast expanse of the blood-sucking wasteland, searching for the main body of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon.

“What a potent mental power!” A look of shock flashed across Ji Xi and Uncle Fu’s eyes.

The two of them had experienced many things that ordinary people had never seen. A Great Grand Master like Lu Yu had a mental power that was comparable to that of a War General, and perhaps even greater than that. The same thought popped into the minds of those two people.

Could it be that this guy Lu Yu’s strength was comparable to a War General’s?

“Uncle Fu, don’t get distracted. You support me and restrain this poisonous gas inside the blood-sucking wasteland,” Ji Xi said.

Immediately, the moon-like white light radiated and inundated this blood-sucking wasteland that was shrouded in a dense fog. Rising like a bright moon, the poisonous gas was rapidly purified under the cold brilliance of the moonlight.

It seemed to have sensed the change. At this moment, the huge illusionary realm of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon was trembling slightly. The multiple layers of illusionary realms were rolling over in waves rapidly.

“It’s moving!” When Wang Lu saw this scene, a look indicating that he expected this flashed across his face. “All the battalion captains, pay attention. From now on, standby for battle at a moment’s notice. Once the Hundred-eyed Purple Dragon wakes up, we launch our attack immediately!”

“Yes, Sir!” Ouyang Wen and the rest nodded.

With the movement of the illusionary realm, Lu Yu sensed a trace of extended exhalation. With a flip of his thought, he dashed in a particular direction. That empty void space cracked open like a broken mirror and a dense web of cracks spread out.

“Have you found it?” Ji Xi looked pleasantly surprised, but following that, she frowned and said, “No, that’s not where the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon’s main body is. It’s just a passage to the main body.”

Lu Yu entered this passage, and under the illumination of colorful lights, various mirrors appeared around him. His figure was reflected on every mirror.

They were sometimes malevolent, sometimes sneering scornfully, or sometimes gloomy… There were all kinds of expressions. All of them were staring at Lu Yu in unison, creating a sinister and eerie feeling that overwhelmed him.

Lu Yu gave a scornful snort. He drew his sword and with a slash, shattered all the mirrors. Among the fallen fragments, every piece contained a purple eye that stared at Lu Yu.

Suddenly, a purple light burst out, and Lu Yu was pulled into a space.

In the black sky, a full moon hung high. On the ground, there was a huge swamp. The rotten corpses were piled up, full of decaying stench. With a rumbling sound, wisps of green smoke billowed upwards.

At the edge where the dense fog ended stood a medieval-style church. The sharp spire on the roof pointed directly to the full moon in the sky.

“This SS-class Fearsome Beast is very interesting indeed.” Lu Yu chuckled lightly.

Not surprisingly, all of this was an illusionary realm too. For someone like him who also possessed the Purple Eye, he was completely immune. Lu Yu walked over and with a wave of his big hand, the scene before his eyes was torn to shreds like a piece of paper.

However, the church still stood there like a real entity. Lu Yu frowned. “This thing exists in reality.”

Faced with an unexpected scene in front of him, Lu Yu paused for a few seconds. Then he pushed the door open and walked in. Dozens of bats were disturbed and flew out.

In the church, there were desiccated corpses hanging on numerous crucifixes. Each desiccated corpse had a crystal-clear complexion and soft flowing hair. If it weren’t for the shriveled body, it would look no different from a living person.

Lu Yu, who didn’t understand the sight before his eyes, said with a sneer, “Just a whole load of hocus-pocus.”

The Blood Emperor Battle Saber was drawn out and the Red Lotus Battle Energy was activated. The blade was surrounded by fiery flames, making it scorching hot. Lu Yu planned to burn the whole place down with fire.

The next second, a strange thing happened. The flames on the saber were slowly being extinguished. The church was filled with a mysterious power which was suppressing the fire-attribute power.

The stone plaque on a large chair in the middle was engraved with the words, “If you want to leave this place, you must dedicate your soul to the gods in the sky, and swear to protect the gods in all future generations hereafter.”

Lu Yu split the stone plaque into two pieces with one saber strike, completely ignoring the text on it. The abstract concept of God would still be viable if deployed before the Spiritual Energy Renaissance. Now, in this era, it was completely useless.

“The blasphemer will be punished by God!” A line of small characters appeared under the cracked stone plaque.

A sinister wind suddenly blew in the church. With a cacophony of rattling sounds, the chains on the crucifixes broke, and the desiccated corpses seemed to come back to life completely. With a murderous aura in their eyes, they came charging at Lu Yu.

“8-directional Cleave!”

The saber energy exploded and slashed at these desiccated corpses, only to find that the bodies of these desiccated corpses were unimaginably strong. The saber strikes only left tiny cuts on them.

“Their bodies have been soaked in some special medicinal liquid, and they are outrageously strong,” Lu Yu said. He covered his nose as he looked at these desiccated bodies, oozing with green liquid, exuding a pungent smell.

Roar! These desiccated corpses pounced on Lu Yu, baring their teeth and claws. They heaped themselves on him in an instant.

In the next second, with the outbreak of an overbearing momentum, all the desiccated corpses were flung away. However, they soon rushed up again, as if they were undead evil spirits. They were indestructible.

Lu Yu spent a lot of effort before he could pierce the chest of one of the desiccated corpses, but this desiccated corpse did not seem to have any reaction. It seemed to be following some kind of hidden consciousness and was hell-bent on killing the intruder.

And as time went by, these desiccated corpses became more and more vicious. The moves they deployed as they pounced on Lu Yu became extremely ferocious.

“These desiccated corpses were all at the level of Great Grand Masters, and one of them was a War General.” After a furious battle, Lu Yu noticed something. He looked at the desiccated corpse of the War General, and his skin began to crawl.

That was a War General, a person who could stop tens of thousands of troops, but he was killed and turned into a desiccated corpse.

“Help me… Save me…” Suddenly, a cry for help came intermittently from the dark church.

Lu Yu’s heart was jolted by shock. He had checked with his mental power earlier and confirmed that there was no one else in the church. However, what was going on with this cry for help? Could it be an illusion that was trying to confuse him?

“Help me… I’ve been trapped here for 50 years. I want to go out and meet my wife and children.” The voice pleaded, choking and weeping.

After a while, Lu Yu couldn’t deal with the endless desiccated corpses either, so he turned sideways into the darkness. He entered one of the rooms, and closed the door.

And the desiccated corpses of the church seemed to be afraid of something. They did not dare to approach, and could only remain in the same place.

What came into sight were broken limbs and remnant body parts. And the voice calling for help became clearer and clearer in Lu Yu’s ears. Seeing that Lu Yu didn’t respond, the owner of the voice continued, “I’m not a spirit in this illusionary realm. I’m a real live person. Save me…”

Lu Yu’s face darkened, and he blurted out, “Shut up!”

Seeing that Lu Yu had no intention of rescuing him, that voice carried a bit of resentment. “If you don’t rescue me from this place, I will curse you forever.”

Who was he trying to deceive with this childish trick? Lu Yu couldn’t be bothered with him at all, but after this, he felt as if his body was struggling, and it started to hurt. The tissue on his skin kept bursting open, oozing out streams of blood.
