Blood Spirit’s breakthrough created numerous phenomena around the area. A terrifying blood mist appeared high in the sky. Sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves also rang out in the air. One apocalyptic scene after another appeared, presenting an explosion of stars, endless destructive rivers, and the deaths of countless terrifying living beings.
The phenomena symbolized destruction, presenting Blood Spirit as the bringer of calamity. The humans and aliens in battle were all shocked by the phenomena. A deep chill enveloped all of them, reaching for their very hearts.
“Wh-what’s going on? This is a calamity!”
“Look! Something seems to be appearing from the ground! That terrifying thing seems to be devouring all the blood and corpses. Even the remnant souls are being devoured.”
“Is this fellow the culprit for all the human skins we saw? This is too scary.”
“Everyone, we can’t afford to delay this. Kill that fellow, or all of us will die.”
…
Everyone panicked. Even an idiot could see how dangerous Blood Spirit was. If they did not stop his breakthrough, nobody would be able to leave the ancient battlefield alive.
“Whatever you are, die!” Sheng Zhengyi roared. “Four guardians, please enter the formation. Kill that thing.”
Four peak pseudo-Gods appeared from four different directions. All of them unleashed a formidable battle strength that combined and swept toward Blood Spirit.
Four Extreme Killing Formation!
That formation was the combination of the four’s willpower and strength, and it could unleash an unimaginable strength. Such a killing formation was beyond what even a third-stage God could resist. Its deployment alarmed everyone in the area.
The formation was so powerful because they could use it only once in this battle. It was a last resort meant to kill their opponent without holding back. As a side effect of the formation, they would lose all their strength after one attack.
If not even that attack could kill Blood Spirit, the humans would probably have nothing else that could kill him. A terrifying truefire energy appeared from the four directions. The flame was unique and purple in color, raging on with boundless and dreadful might.
“Don’t even dream of stopping Blood Spirit’s evolution!” said the third-stage alien God before making a move against the four peak pseudo-Gods.
That alien was a member of the phantasma race and called Huan Xinhai. His illusory abilities were extremely terrifying and almost impossible to defend against.
“Trying to stop them? You need to get through me,” said Sheng Zhengyi as he stood before Huan Xinhai. He pushed the Demon Revealing Mirror to its limits, sending a beam of pure and blinding light out.
The Demon Revealing Mirror could do more than breaking illusions. It was also a terrifyingly destructive god-grade weapon. Its beam of light was boundlessly destructive and seemed unstoppable.
“I was merely messing around with you earlier. I’ll show you the true strength of the phantasma race. All of you will turn into fuel for Blood Spirit’s evolution,” said Huan Xinhai. He raised both his palms, circulating strand after strand of indescribable energy that influenced their surroundings. Both the humans and the aliens lost themselves in a sort of trance.
Illusion Upon The Mind.
A normal illusion would only affect one’s vision. A powerful illusion would affect one’s soul. A peerless illusion, on the other hand, could affect one’s very mind. Huan Xinhai’s illusory techniques were peerless, capable of entering straight into one’s mind. Nobody could stop his techniques.
The attacks of the four peak pseudo-Gods lashed out, but they all went off course and aimed toward many humans instead. Instantly, hundreds of humans were killed, overwhelmingly devastating the human army. Then, the four peak pseudo-Gods dropped weakly from the sky.
Sheng Zhengyi was the representative of the Guardians Guild, and he had the Demon Revealing Mirror in hand. However, his resistance proved futile. Like everyone else, he fell into the illusion. He was unable to pose any threat to Huan Xinhai. Rather, his attack shot toward Jin Jiehao of the Immortal Road Chamber.
The Overlord Legion members were also attacking each other. Yu Caidie was fighting Devil Concubine, Devouring Ghost was fighting the Four Night Saints, Xia Liuhui was fighting Liang Zhuangmin, and so on. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they all perished.
Even the seemingly omnipotent overlord, Xiang Shaoyun, was not immune to the effect. He had engaged Yue Xi in an intense battle. Xiang Shaoyun’s divine dao eyes could see through all that was fake, but it only worked for his vision. When his mind itself was influenced, not even he could easily break free of it.
The mind illusion was a manipulation of the devil of one’s mind. After all, everyone had an ugly and hostile side. In Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes, Yue Xi had transformed into an alien. The only thing he wanted to do was to kill her.
If this continued, who among them would survive the ancient battlefield? Only one human remained unaffected. That person was Dong Ziwan. When she saw everyone fighting among themselves, she realized that they were in a precarious position.
“This is a terrifying illusion. I am the only one immune to it, thanks to the Empty Mind Secret Art I had obtained from the Illusory Land of Life and Death. But with my current strength, how can I help everyone?” asked Dong Ziwan anxiously.
After giving it some thought, she pretended to be under the illusion while slowly staggering toward Huan Xinhai. Huan Xinhai had noticed Dong Ziwan, but he did not pay much attention to her. For him, a mere Saint was no different from an ant.
I have no choice but to use that move. Sorry, Master, thought Dong Ziwan to herself. After giving Xiang Shaoyun one final look, an indescribable transformation unfolded on her forehead.
At that moment, a seal seemed to have lifted from her body. Her cultivation rose sharply, instantly bringing her past the Great Saint Realm, the pseudo-God Realm, and finally into the Rebirth Realm. Her forehead cracked open, unleashing a beam of light.
Soul Replacement!
Her soul flew straight toward Huan Xinhai’s soul. It happened in a split second and caught Huan Xinhai completely off guard. Soul Replacement could forcefully snatch one’s body. It could also disrupt Huan Xinhai’s illusory technique, ending the technique prematurely.
However, Dong Ziwan was far weaker than Huan Xinhai. Thus, her action of sending her soul into Huan Xinhai’s body was no different than suicide. Everyone recovered from their illusion, still confused as to what had happened.
Xiang Shaoyun was in a similar condition. Abruptly, his senses called to him, causing him to look at Dong Ziwan. He saw Huan Xinhai’s hand gripping her neck, and Huan Xinhai was saying, “For breaking my Mind Illusion Technique, you shall die.”
No!
