Chapter 2996 - Secrets of the Illusion
Chapter 2996 Secrets of the Illusion
In the fourth battlefield, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were standing next to each other. They were eyeing the vivid vacuum, the stone belts, and Li Yao on the opposite side suspiciously.
"This is… an illusionary space!"
After observing for a while, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were both surprised and delighted. They said at the same time, "I didn't know that my father's mental power was so strong that he could launch a group mental attack against almost a hundred experts at the same time. How awesome!" "That's right."
Li Yao smiled. "Now that you've seen through my moves, can you get away from my mental maze?"
Li Yao extended his hand and touched the air softly. Ripples that seemed to be real ripples appeared in what seemed to be a vacuum. When the ripples dispersed, they turned into transparent walls that were interconnecting and blocking each other, forming an invisible, three-dimensional maze that surrounded Xiao Ming and Wen Wen at the center.
Xiao Ming's and Wen Wen's crystal processors squeaked as they were activated to the maximum.
In their perception, the transparent maze turned into thousands of data, information, algorithms, and logic traps that were changing at a speed of tens of millions of times per second. "Then let's give it a try!"
Xiao Ming cheered, "Wenwen, let's go!"
In the fifth battleground, the boxing champion watched Li Yao gather all the stones and dust nearby into a gargantuan meteorite giant almost a hundred meters tall.
"What kind of bullsh*t is this?"
The boxing champion couldn't help but laugh. His fists were like rapid-fire cannons. In the blink of an eye, over a thousand powerful and magnificent fists blasted the meteorite giant into pieces.
However, inside the body of the broken meteorite giant, clusters of black smoke made of dust crawled into his body through the gaps of his muscles and bones like vipers and slithered toward his crystal reactor and crystal processor.
"Is it the Crystal Brain Virus?"
The crystal camera of the Fist King was glittering. "Li Yao, what kind of monster have you become?"
There was a sixth battlefield, a seventh battlefield, an eighth battlefield, a ninth battlefield… A hundred battlefields.
Li Linghai, Boss Bai, Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, and all the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators and the experts of the federation were hit by Li Yao's mental attack at the same time and were sucked into the illusionary swirl.
Li Yao had gone through a long and deep mental training in the illusions created by the thousands of primeval crystal processors. In the boundless world of mortals, he had polished every side of his soul and created thousands of different personalities. He had a deeper understanding about the weakness of human nature, too, which allowed him to capture the emotions, desires, desires, and weaknesses of every expert. He chose the form that could cut into the enemy's soul the most and created an illusion that could drown them without them knowing.
No. Other than Yan Liren, Xiao Ming, and Wen Wen, there was someone else.
It was Long Yangjun.
Long Yangjun was sitting cross-legged on a meteoroid that was as fast as lightning. She tilted her head and held her cheek, looking at the aggressive Li Yao in front of her suspiciously. She seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, she shook her head and mumbled to herself, "No."
"What's wrong?"
Li Yao grinned hideously. "Don't you want to beat me up? Let's fight!"
"This is very wrong."
Long Yangjun said, "With your personality, there's no reason for you to stay where you are and wait to be attacked by hundreds of experts. I thought you were going to play the same old trick and run away. I didn't expect you to be so tough! No. I don't believe it. This is not your style. No. No. Very wrong! "Although it looks the same as just now, I still feel that something is not right. Why did you divide everyone with raging flames so that we can't perceive each other? Is it because your computational ability is insufficient and you can only simulate vivid environments, but you can't simulate the reactions of hundreds of supreme experts?" "Got it. Another annoying illusion. Same move as Lu Qingchen."
Long Yangjun pursed his lips. Before Li Yao, who was sitting in front of him, could retort, a translucent brilliance flashed in his eyes. "Hu—"
She blew at the vacuum of the universe.
If it were a vacuum, the air shouldn't have been of any use.
But in this place, a ripple that looked like a crystal was expanding rapidly and corroding everything that could be corroded, including the meteoroids, the dust, the vacuum, and even Li Yao on the other side.
The entire world turned into a glittering world of crystals.
Long Yangjun snapped his fingers. The clusters of crystals collapsed and vanished. They reappeared in the planetary ring of the real world.
The illusion that Li Yao had painstakingly created was cracked by Long Yangjun so easily.
Long Yangjun gazed into the distance with a faint smile on his lips.
As it turned out, the burning Flaming Vulture and the fireball that separated all the top experts were gone-or rather, they had never existed in the first place.
In the middle of the rushing meteoroids, almost a hundred experts were dwelling in the illusions, unable to free themselves. Some of them were dancing crazily and fighting their imaginary enemies, some were thinking hard and trying to find a way to crack the illusionary labyrinth, and some even mistook other people for Li Yao.
The real Li Yao, on the other hand, was still crouching in the hollow of a gargantuan meteoroid, with a lot of weird-looking magical equipment floating around him. They were connected to a glittering metal hat on his head with thick crystal cables. Countless other devices that looked like loudspeakers and antennas were releasing spiritual energy nonstop.
"Are you serious?"
Long Yangjun's frown grew deeper and deeper. "It's just a friendly match, and you are even using magical equipment such as 'brainwave amplifiers'. Do you have to be so… serious?"
At this point, the tip of her nose twitched as she sensed something. After a long while, she frowned to the extreme.
"I also sensed the remaining ripples after the crystal bombs exploded. It can't be wrong. It is indeed one of your favorite formulas for crystal bombs. So, you didn't blow up the meteoroids within a hundred square kilometers with your overwhelming spiritual pressure but planted a lot of crystal bombs in this area in advance?"
Long Yangjun spoke to himself and analyzed seriously, "Why are you doing this? I understand. You are intentionally creating a grand and dazzling sound and lightning effect to attract everyone's attention and interfere with everyone's perception so that your mental power can creep into everyone's brain and launch a mental attack.
"Wait. Also, you've planted a lot of magical equipment such as 'brainwave amplifiers' and 'mental power amplifiers' in the dozens of square kilometers nearby. It's like you've established your own local area network to improve your ability to build illusions. Wow. Li Yao, I'm not criticizing you, but is it necessary?" "You saw through me?"
Li Yao laughed in embarrassment. Then he said confidently, "Of course, it is necessary. This is the first time that I've shown up in front of all the heroes in the world as a 'Soul Division Cultivator'. I'm definitely going to be the target of everyone's attacks. If I fail to defeat everyone, I'm going to be ganged up on. Wouldn't that be a disgrace? That's why I played some tricks. Preparation is part of combat, too. We are not really muscular, simple-minded warriors!"
"Alright."
Long Yangjun sighed and admitted, "At the very least, the fact that you are willing to resort to such sordid tricks is already much better than the illusion that you ran away with your tail between your legs under the cover of sound and electricity. "How is that possible? This is a crucial exploration operation that concerns the future of the civilization of mankind. Don't be fooled by my naivety. When have I ever failed such an important operation?"
Li Yao said solemnly, "I did it in order to boast a little bit about my capability and intimidate the disobedient experts so that they would listen to orders and commands during the exploration operation. They should never act recklessly. Without the assistance of a large-scale magical equipment array, how could I trap hundreds of experts in illusions at the same time even if I drained all my brain cells?
"Hey, I am the best expert of the Pangu Universe after all. For such a noble purpose, and for your old friend, please do me a favor and cover up for me!" While they were talking, Li Yao had stored all the scraps—the 'brainwave amplifiers', the 'mental power amplifiers', etc. into his Cosmos Ring and blew up the meteorite below his feet, destroying all the evidence.
Then, a thunderous noise echoed from Li Yao's chest to his throat.
The explosion echoed inside the heads of almost a hundred intoxicated experts at the same time, startling them out of their trance.
"Ah!"
The experts looked at each other in bewilderment. It was not until a long time later that they realized what was going on. Their internal organs constricted uncontrollably, and they felt cold all over their body. Their spine was freezing as if it had been soaked in cold water.
"It's a mental attack! We are all trapped in an illusion!"
What a terrifying illusion-making ability. Infiltrating the brains of almost a hundred Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators at the same time and releasing serious interference and interference. Is this the horror of the Divinity Transformation Stage?
"He—he didn't use his full strength at all, did he? He didn't make any preparations or perform any techniques. He simply watched us casually and made us fall into his trap without us knowing? It was too terrifying, too awesome, and too unbelievable!"
"Soul Division. The legendary Soul Division is indeed immeasurable and unstoppable!"
The experts, especially the Immortal Cultivators of the Star Ocean Imperium who had been suspicious about Li Yao's Divinity Transformation Stage, looked at Li Yao in awe and fear.
However, they were greatly surprised by Li Yao's glittering appearance, which made him look like a devil!
