If he were an ordinary cultivator, he might indeed be willing to be a lapdog for the daughter of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, but as Lu Changsheng was the Holy Son of Tai Hua and possessed the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator, why would he need to be anyone else’s servant?
“I must decline,” he said.
Lu Changsheng hadn’t fallen so low as to become someone else’s dog.
“You’re courting death.”
Dantai Meng was instantly displeased.
No one had ever dared to refuse her before.
Her father, the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, held an exalted status in the Demon Realm; thus, no one dared to offend her.
How dare Lu Changsheng defy her wishes?
Dantai Meng extended her left hand, and a bell appeared in her flawless, jade-like palm.
Ding!
The bell made a clear sound, solidifying the space-time around it, making it difficult for Lu Changsheng to escape.
“Eternal Illusion!”
Dantai Meng’s eyes emitted a strange purple light as she used Pupil Skill to trap Lu Changsheng within layer upon layer of illusions.
She was determined to make Lu Changsheng her dog.
In Lu Changsheng’s eyes, everything around him turned deep purple, and the landscape twisted.
“An illusion? Break!”
Lu Changsheng realized he was caught in the adversary’s illusion and immediately activated his Cultivation Technique to break free.
The deep purple space disappeared, and the original scenery returned.
Dantai Meng, holding a purple dagger, was about to kill Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng had no choice but to brace himself and face Dantai Meng in combat.
Dantai Meng’s realm was even higher than Lu Changsheng’s, making it even harder for him to cope.
Not even Feng Mu, the top genius from the Ancient Feng Family, had given Lu Changsheng such a strong sense of oppression.
Feng Mu was only at the third tier of the Immortal Emperor realm, while Dantai Meng was at the fourth.
While Feng Mu had access to the Ancient Feng Family’s cultivation resources, Dantai Meng had the resource provided by Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable itself, which made her cultivation speed even more astonishing.
“Lu, I’m here to help you!”
A figure wielding the Mo Xue sword dashed through the sky, followed by the Absolute Immortal Sword, striking at Dantai Meng.
“Xue’er? How did you get here?”
Lu Changsheng saw that the exquisite and unrivaled figure was none other than Xia Ningxue.
Dantai Meng dodged Xia Ningxue’s Flying Sword.
Xia Ningxue approached Lu Changsheng, “I sensed that you were in danger, Lu, so I came to save you.”
However, Lu Changsheng’s hand thrust the Qing Emperor Sword through Xia Ningxue’s body.
“Lu, why…”
Xia Ningxue’s figure gradually blurred, vanishing into thin air.
“Break.”
Lu Changsheng broke through another layer of illusion.
This time, the scene before Lu Changsheng’s eyes gradually blurred, and he found himself back at Qingyun Peak on Mount Shu, with Lu Qinglian still a young girl, as if his experiences in the Immortal Realm had been nothing but a dream.
…
In the Nine Nether, Dantai Meng’s lips curled up slightly.
The “Eternal Illusion,” the ultimate skill of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, could control even Divine Kings if cultivated to the highest realm.
Although Dantai Meng had only begun to master Eternal Illusion, it was already enough to make her opponent fall into a nine-layer illusion.
Being caught in continuous illusions could, at best, make one doubt their life, or at worst, lose themselves and shatter their Dao heart.
“Once you are lost in the illusion, I will control you to take a blood oath, from then on, you will become this miss’s servant,” Dantai Meng thought as she approached Lu Changsheng, extending two fingers, intending to read his Divine Sense and thus control him.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng grabbed Dantai Meng’s wrist; his gaze was now clear.
“How, how is this possible?”
Dantai Meng had not expected Lu Changsheng to break through the nine-layer illusion so quickly.
This man before her was terrifying!

A Ziwei Celestial Flame appeared in Lu Changsheng’s palm, instantly enveloping Dantai Meng’s arm.
Dantai Meng quickly severed her own arm to create distance between herself and Lu Changsheng.
Her Demonic Qi surged, and a new arm grew out.
Because she had to reform her physical body, Dantai Meng expended a considerable amount of True Qi, and two beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, “You really don’t know how to be tender and protective towards women.”
“There’s no need to be tender and protective towards a demoness from the Demon Realm,” Lu Changsheng replied.
Lu Changsheng was nobody’s savior; he had been her rescuer, yet she sought to kill him, so naturally, Lu Changsheng would not easily let her go.
“Today, I’ll take you as a warm-up. After defeating you, I will then challenge Ku, the top of the Qilin Ranking.”
Dantai Meng activated her Demonic Cultivation Skills, and the purple dagger shone brightly, a strange purple light inherently carrying illusions influencing all those around it.
Above Lu Changsheng’s head materialized the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. The pagoda’s luminous glow protected him, neutralizing the strange purple light.
Holding the Qing Emperor Sword, Lu Changsheng displayed his exquisite swordsmanship as he dueled with Dantai Meng.
Dantai Meng’s Cultivation Technique and Martial Techniques were unlike any from the Immortal Realm, with her unique style and bizarre moves, making it easy for Lu Changsheng to get hurt if he was careless.
However, using the second sword boundary of “One Sword Across Ages,” Lu Changsheng managed to fend off Dantai Meng’s dagger.
This battle was particularly difficult for Lu Changsheng.
Dantai Meng’s realm was higher, her moves sharp and ruthless, and she was even more challenging to face than Feng Mu.
The most troublesome part was Dantai Meng’s unpredictable style, which was difficult to guard against.
For Lu Changsheng, this was not entirely a bad thing.
With limited knowledge about the Demon Realm’s powerful beings, and with their unique cultivation techniques, Lu Changsheng’s combat against Dantai Meng also served as a way to familiarize himself with the cultivation techniques of the Demon Realm.
Dantai Meng’s techniques stemmed from the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
Given Lu Changsheng’s rate of progress, it was inevitable that someday he might confront the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable himself.
Without familiarity with the techniques of the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, with its power, it could easily crush Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng blocked a dagger thrust sneakily from an angle with the Qing Emperor Sword, then used his left hand to unleash an Emperor Tier top-grade Martial Technique, Severing Dragon Palm, striking Dantai Meng’s chest!
Boom!
Dantai Meng was sent flying over a dozen miles away by Lu Changsheng’s palm strike!
Unfamiliar with Dantai Meng’s techniques from the Demon Sects, and with Dantai Meng unaccustomed to the Righteous Dao cultivation methods of the Immortal Realm, she was hit squarely by Lu Changsheng’s palm.
