Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 707 - 374: Mirror Domain

Lu Yu had been traveling on the water surface for a long time, yet he hadn't seen any markers left by Zhou Hong and the others.

He wondered if it was because everything here was water, and no markers could be left behind.

Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from afar.

Drip, drop, drip, drop~ The sound of stepping on water approached, and Lu Yu turned his head to see, only to find an expansive water surface, empty and flat, with nothing on it.

"Where is that sound coming from?" Lu Yu wore a puzzled expression; he heard the sound but couldn't see anyone.

After he turned his head, the sound disappeared shortly after. Unable to find anyone, Lu Yu quickly left the area to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Lu Yu's figure skimmed swiftly across the water surface, but his reflection remained motionless on the ground...

After running for a long time, Lu Yu stopped and looked at the surrounding waters, his heart gradually sinking.

A single step wouldn't be this wide; he must have moved at least eight hundred miles, yet he still couldn't see the edge of this step, only an endless water surface.

He was now eighty percent sure that he had fallen into some bizarre event and had been targeted by something strange.

Lu Yu felt a bit frustrated, wondering why he was always the one getting targeted.

Back on the pressure step, it was also he who bore the sudden weight, while the others were unharmed.

No matter what, he had to leave here first.

Lu Yu glanced around, then looked up at the sky, which remained pitch-black, as if covered by something.

Although the sky was not bright, the eerie areas Lu Yu traversed all presented a twilight hue.

The light seemed a bit dim, but he could clearly see the surrounding scenery.

He had no idea where the light on the ground came from—certainly not from the sky.

Lu Yu lowered his head and saw the water surface beneath his feet, suddenly feeling something was off.

Looking at the smooth water surface below, he frowned, racking his brain over what felt wrong.

The strange feeling had already surfaced within him, yet he hadn't identified its source.

Drip, drop, drip, drop~ The sound of stepping on water rang out, and Lu Yu suspiciously glanced around the water surface, finding not a ripple.

Logically, with the sound of footsteps on water, even if the entity was invisible, there should be water ripples.

Yet, Lu Yu saw nothing—not even a shadow.

Shadow? Lu Yu suddenly froze, glanced down at the water surface beneath his feet, and then looked around at the water surface.

"Where is my shadow?"

He realized the critical issue—his reflection had vanished.

Or perhaps, there was no reflection here at all.

It was easy to prove. Lu Yu randomly pulled a large item from his backpack, and it reflected on the water below, but his human figure did not appear.

Lu Yu stared at the water surface for a long time, feeling his eyes dry, and blinked.

In the instant he blinked, then opened his eyes again, he found his reflection had returned.

This time, Lu Yu was very clear that he hadn't seen wrong; just now, his reflection had truly disappeared.

Having battled Ghost Hand, Lu Yu knew there was a kind of being in the world that could live in the Shadow World.

He was immediately startled, thinking he had encountered a kin of Ghost Hand.

Bam~ He stomped fiercely, causing the water surface to explode, lifting him rapidly off the water.

The water surface rippled, casting distortions and overlaps of his reflection in the waves… Gradually the water bulged, and the reflection appeared before Lu Yu.

It was a flowing, upright water surface, reflecting Lu Yu's silhouette, resembling a Lu Yu made of water.

"You've discovered me." The fake Lu Yu spoke.

Lu Yu saw that it wasn't a being living in the shadows and landed down, fixing his gaze on it.

The other resembled his mirror image, reversed left and right.

It was the first time he had seen a speaking bizarre entity in the fractured world. Lu Yu asked in a deep voice, "What kind of ghostly thing are you?"

"Me?" The fake Lu Yu pointed to himself, smiling brightly and happily said, "I am you!"

Lu Yu frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, as anyone would be seeing an identical figure before them.

"Reveal your true form, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Lu Yu said angrily.

The fake Lu Yu mimicked his frown, saying, "This is my form, I am Lu Yu, and you are also Lu Yu."

Bang! Lu Yu punched through the water wall, shattering the reflection into droplets that rained down.

Lu Yu looked down at his feet; in the water, the shadow remained at his feet, staring at him with a difficult expression.

"I am Lu Yu, you are the fake one." The shadow laughed earnestly.

After speaking, Lu Yu felt the water beneath his feet sink, trying to pull him down.

That was Lu Yu's own sensation; if there were an onlooker, they would see Lu Yu's lower half seemingly turning two-dimensional, flat, being pulled into the water.

Lu Yu unleashed all his strength, deploying Myriad Phenomena Celestial Attraction to break free from the pull beneath him, but it was useless.

No matter how much strength he exerted, he could not affect anything around him; he was still being "dragged" into the water surface.

Lu Yu vanished on the water surface, his silhouette reflected beneath the water.

Splash~ Water columns surged up, and a water being appeared on the surface, its clothes and features beginning to change, as Lu Yu emerged…
