Chapter 2585: Chapter 2855: Judgment
Julius Reed slept for the first time so quickly.
He hadn’t had a proper sleep in a long time.
The physical and telekinetic strength of a Martial Artist like him had reached a point where he almost didn’t need sleep anymore.
But the current situation was slightly different.
After being injured, both his telekinetic and physical abilities were impacted.
Sleeping wasn’t impossible now.
But as soon as he entered the dream, Julius Reed immediately sensed something was off.
His body suddenly started to feel light.
Like a feather floating on the water surface.
This feeling was too familiar!
Illusion!
Julius Reed suddenly recalled that the Double Dragon Jade Pendant was still in his hand!
Damn!
Entering the illusion under the current circumstances wasn’t a good thing.
The mysterious person inside the Double Dragon Jade Pendant had once said if he caught Julius Reed in a weakened state, he would definitely take Julius Reed’s life.
So, is this considered a moment of weakness?
Accept it as it comes.
Julius Reed stood in the darkness, surrounded by pitch blackness.
Couldn’t see anything.
Just like before, there was complete silence.
Could it be... the time entering was too short, causing no effect?
But if that’s the case, why did he enter the illusion?
The illusions of the Double Dragon Jade Pendant never let anyone leave empty-handed once they enter.
Either take everything, or leave without a life.
Upon entering here, Julius Reed first encountered Hiddy, a different yet increasingly fervent Hiddy, a sword, and a chance to save his life.
He believed that the person inside the Double Dragon Jade Pendant wouldn’t lie.
At the time, the Blood Soul Emperor indeed took advantage of the situation to attack.
The stopwatch confirmed the mysterious person’s words from inside the Double Dragon Jade Pendant.
"Are you still there? If there’s nothing, I’m leaving." Julius Reed shouted loudly.
If what he entered was truly that illusion, there would definitely be a response.
But here, it was incredibly silent.
No sound.
The surroundings were empty, no matter how Julius Reed walked, it remained the same.
He simply sat on the ground, quietly waiting.
This place wouldn’t trap anyone to death.
Moreover, knowing he was not right, Dragon Dance would surely take action.
Time passed, unknowingly.
In the darkness, came the sound of footsteps.
And... the sound of chains dragging on the ground.
Julius Reed’s ears twitched.
Inside the illusion, everything was telekinetic power.
Physical strength had no direct relation.
But even someone as strong in telekinetic power as Nine Nether Sovereign is restrained here.
Julius Reed hadn’t really thought about breaking through the illusion.
It seemed difficult to achieve.
Better to see what happens next.
At least the elder inside didn’t lie, as long as he could leave, he’d get rewarded.
Impossible to leave empty-handed.
Julius Reed was very curious, having obtained the Emerald Authority Sword, what else could be more valuable?
Life?
A chance to survive had already been gained.
Without any fear, Julius Reed even started to anticipate what he might be able to take this time.
The sound of chains grew closer.
Without any warning.
Julius Reed felt suffocated!
His neck was tightly bound by chains!
Dragged away!
Julius Reed grabbed the chains with both hands, attempting to break free, but the force seemed irresistible.
The biggest difference between the Double Dragon Jade Pendant and ordinary illusions is that, for ordinary illusions, you just need to remind yourself you’re in one to break free.
But this doesn’t apply here!
The Double Dragon Jade Pendant feels more like real worlds.
Here, only by responding to crises as if they’re real can one have a chance to survive.
The chains continued dragging Julius Reed forward.
Uncertain of how much time passed, even as Julius Reed was about to faint.
The chains left.
Suddenly, a slight brightness appeared around.
Not very bright, but enough to see the surrounding illusion.
Prison!
This was a prison.
"Is the newcomer Julius Reed?"
A thick and authoritative voice sounded.
Julius Reed slowly stood up, examining his surroundings.
Dim, the light was very weak.
In front of him was a middle-aged man in blue, flanked by two attendants, one in black and one in white.
Beside Julius Reed stood dozens of individuals.
These people stood along the sides like an ancient courthouse.
"Interesting."
Julius Reed nodded and said, "It’s me."
The environment was familiar now, time to see who these people were.
Once understood, nothing would be a problem.
"This is hell." The middle-aged man stood up from his chair, viciously pointing at Julius Reed: "Now, I will judge you!"
"Even heaven cannot judge me, who do you think you are?" Julius Reed huffed with disdain: "Get down, no one can sit in front of me, not even you."
"Arrogant." The middle-aged man sneered, slowly descending the steps.
He stood in front of Julius Reed, raised an eyebrow and said: "I don’t care what your identity in the Mortal World is, once you’re here, you must abide by my rules, understand? With your insolence, you’ve already violated my rules."
"I have my own rules." Julius Reed countered: "Now that I’m here, you must comply with mine, understand?"
"Seems like you haven’t realized what kind of place you’re in." The man extended his hand, gently gripping Julius Reed’s shoulder.
A powerful electric sensation emanated from his palm.
Julius Reed felt his whole body tremble, unbearably pained.
But Julius Reed didn’t make a sound, enduring it.
Here, he had no power, couldn’t resist.
Since the man’s appearance, Julius Reed realized this fact.
Unlike before, this environment seemed to have many constraints.
For instance, he couldn’t move at all now.
Could only let the man be wanton.
"Still not begging for mercy?" The man spoke softly.
"I, Julius Reed, have never begged. If you’re finished, then scram." Julius Reed’s tone of disdain infuriated the man before him.
"Fine, let’s see how hard your bones are!" The man intensified his grip.
The feeling of pain spread through his body.
But Julius Reed still didn’t make a sound.
At most, he’d faint, he could endure.
"May I ask you, was it you speaking with me earlier here?" After a while, Julius Reed asked.
The man seemed to give up.
He let go, shook his head and said: "I don’t know what you’re talking about, nor where you were before. But now, I’m telling you. This is hell, and I’m the king here!"
"What I just did was just an appetizer. Next, you will taste the world’s most painful torments. If you can endure, I will admire you."
He laughed heartily, sat back in the chair, extending his hand.
The attendant in white handed over a booklet.
"Julius Reed, starting now, I will judge you! You have committed innumerable sins, with countless lives in your hands! Yet, you are still the king of the Mortal World!" The man glanced at the booklet, his voice suddenly soaring: "You are a tyrant!"
