461 Chapter 461-illusion

~~

The surroundings were filled with dense algae, and one could not even see the way back clearly. It was a little like entering a great illusionary array, but it also made people unable to detect a trace of the array.

No matter if it was the giant flame Heavenly King, the cry wind Heavenly King, or the other great beings from the sea demon race, they were all trapped in the seaweed.

Even transcendent stage cultivators were in the dark and could not find their way out.

“Even the giant flame Heavenly King’s Red eyes couldn’t see anything and just charged in?” Tantai Ling frowned slightly. It was not just the giant flame Heavenly King, but even she herself could not tell. She could not sense any celestial Chi or formation fluctuations in this place. She had thought that there would be no problem entering.

Ye chen did not panic even though he was in the dense seaweed. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings. In the ripples of water, there were traces of mysterious power that were similar to the energy when little tanuki used her illusion.

Ye chen opened his eyes and looked at tantai Ling. this mass of seaweed shouldn’t be a formation, but an illusionary technique. We’re probably in an illusion right now!

Tantai Ling’s expression turned serious and her brows furrowed.”I remember now. Before I entered the seaweed, I seemed to have heard a voice calling me. I don’t know why, but I followed it in without thinking much. It’s just that this summoning was extremely secretive. If you didn’t remind me, I wouldn’t have remembered.”

Hearing tantai Ling’s words, ye Chen’s heart jolted. Could it be that when the giant flame Heavenly King had used the Scarlet flaming eyes to scan the area, he had also fallen into an illusion, so he had rushed in with his men without hesitation? What a powerful illusion, it actually caused them to fall into an illusion so unconsciously.

If that spellcaster wanted them dead, they would probably be dead bodies on the ground.

What kind of existence was hidden in the seaweed? And who was casting such a powerful illusion?

Ye chen did not know where little squido had run off to after coming in. Was it also trapped in an illusion now? ye chen was a little worried but he could not sense little squido’s location at all.

since you’ve fallen for the illusion, don’t continue forward. Sit down and calm your mind. Ye chen said and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. He sat cross-legged on the sand at the bottom of the seaweed and focused his mind, trying to calm down and break the illusion.

Tantai Ling and sikong Jingming also sat down with their legs crossed.

A series of illusions flashed through ye Chen’s mind. He guarded his heart and calmed himself down. At this time, the illusion Pearl on ye Chen’s chest emitted a faint light that seeped into ye Chen’s body, making him feel particularly calm.

Just as the three of them sat down cross-legged, they saw countless algae-like tentacles rolling toward tantai Ling, ye chen, and sikong Jingming.

“This is an illusion, ignore it!” Tantai Ling sat cross-legged on the ground with a determined look in her eyes. Her expression did not change at all as she looked at the seaweed that was rolling toward her. Her voice had a clear sound that could clear one’s mind.

Those algae were like thick pythons, wrapping the three of them up. The cool and smooth feeling on their skin was so real that it didn’t feel like an illusion.

The seaweed slowly tightened around their necks, and they could even hear a slight hissing sound, as if the rope around their necks was getting tighter and tighter, making them feel suffocated.

Tantai Ling, ye chen, and sikong Jingming were still sitting there cross-legged like old monks in meditation. They guarded their hearts and were unmoved by external factors.

However, as time passed, the feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger. Sikong Jingming’s calm expression finally wavered a little. He felt that he was reaching his limit, and a look of panic flashed across his face. What if this wasn’t an illusion and he was really entangled by the seaweed?

He couldn’t help but open his eyes. His hands kept on pulling at the seaweed on his neck, trying to pull away these abominable seaweed. However, the seaweed was extremely tough. No matter how hard sikong Jingming pulled, he couldn’t break it.

A pained expression appeared on sikong Jingming’s face. As a transcendent stage cultivator, he could hold his breath for a few hours without any problem. However, for some reason, this feeling of suffocation was something that sikong Jingming could not bear.

Tantai Ling’s eyes were tightly shut. She could sense sikong Jingming’s strange condition. She knew that the seaweed was just an illusion. Even though she was tied up by the seaweed and felt a strong sense of suffocation, she was still extremely calm. However, sikong Jingming’s condition made her a little worried.

Some master illusionists could kill people through illusions. They would amplify the fear, hatred, and other emotions in the enemy’s heart, eventually making the enemy unable to bear the huge burden psychologically, which led to death.

However, at this moment, tantai Ling could only guard her heart. If she was broken through by the illusion, she would also be trapped in the illusion and would not be able to extricate herself. When that time came, she would be at the mercy of others.

Sikong Jingming struggled painfully. He wanted to call for help from tantai Ling, but his throat was hoarse and he could not make a single sound. His pupils gradually enlarged as a strong sense of fear spread through his heart. In the past, even when he was on the line between life and death, he would not be as fearful as he was today!

Although ye chen felt sikong Jingming’s strange state, he could not help. If it were not for the protection of the illusion Pearl, in terms of mental strength, he was not much weaker than sikong Jingming. If he had slacked even a little, he would have fallen into the illusion.

The strong feeling of suffocation made it difficult for his brain to function. He felt like he was about to die. Ye chen kept reminding himself that this was an illusion and not real. He could not help but bite his tongue. The intense pain made his mind a little clearer.

After struggling for a long time, sikong Jingming’s body finally lost its support. His eyes slowly lost focus, and he fell into the seaweed, dead.

Sikong Jingming is dead?

Killed by an illusion?

Ye Chen’s heart trembled. The power of this illusion was far beyond his imagination. Even if little tanuki used the illusion Pearl to cast an illusion, it could only confuse the enemy. To kill someone with an illusion, one had to reach a very profound level.

It seemed that they had encountered a very terrifying opponent this time!

Sikong Jingming’s corpse lay quietly in the sand. His expression still showed intense pain.

At this moment, tantai Ling furrowed her brows and a look of sorrow appeared on her face. Although she was not on good terms with sikong Jingming, he was still one of the three Grand elders in the clan. After the many disasters that the ice-blue sea demon clan had gone through, there were not many transcendent stage cultivators left. Furthermore, although sikong Jingming had a bad temper, he was still sincerely protecting the ice-blue sea demon clan.

At this moment, tantai Ling’s expression suddenly froze, as if she had been caught by something.

“Tantai, be careful!” Ye chen shouted, disregarding the danger. His loud roar was deafening.

Ye Chen’s deep voice startled tantai Ling. Her mind instantly cleared up. Only then did she realize that something was wrong and quickly guarded her heart. Just now, she had a slight emotional change because of sikong Jingming’s death, and she had almost fallen into an illusion.

In the dense seaweed in the distance, corpses were lying on the ground. From the faces of these corpses, he could vaguely distinguish some people.

The giant flame Heavenly King, the cry wind Heavenly King … The person who was still alive a moment ago had turned into an ice-cold corpse in the blink of an eye.

Even the experts who had comprehended the second level of domain were killed by the illusion. Their faces were still filled with extreme pain. Many of them died with their eyes wide open. It was clear that they had gone through an intense struggle before they died.

In the illusion, time became chaotic. After an unknown period of time, there were only two living people left in the seaweed. They were ye chen and tantai Ling.

The White gauze cloak that had been protecting tantai Ling had already fallen to the ground. The sea god’s Trident was also stabbed into the sand at an angle. The two treasures had ceased their activities and the divine light was restrained. There was no longer any reaction.

The seaweed tightened around their necks, and the suffocating feeling became more and more intense, making it hard for them to tell if it was real or an illusion.

Am I going to die?

Ye chen felt that he had reached his limit and would die in a moment. If he died in battle, he would accept it but he was really unwilling and aggrieved to die Here without knowing why!

A strong desire to live filled ye Chen’s heart. Under the influence of this strong will, the flying Dagger in ye Chen’s mind buzzed and trembled. An abundant celestial Chi flowed through his body like a sweet spring. The feeling of suffocation and lack of oxygen immediately dissipated and he recovered.

Ye Chen’s heart gradually calmed down and became clear. Celestial Chi began to flow in his body. No illusion could be cast on him. The entangled seaweed slowly unraveled and dispersed. Ye chen finally felt a sense of relief. However, he could feel that the power of the illusion was still lingering around him, looking for a breakthrough at any time.

At this moment, tantai Ling’s body was still covered in seaweed, especially her snow-white neck, which had a deep red mark. It was a rather shocking sight. Her face showed an intense pain. Even with her profound cultivation, she was almost unable to withstand the torture of this illusion.

If not for the flying Daggers ‘support, ye Chen’s own resistance to illusions was far inferior to tantai Ling’s. It was already impressive that tantai Ling was able to resist until now.

Tantai Ling’s slender hand could not help but lift up. She reached out to grab the seaweed on her neck, trying to pull it off.

If this continued, tantai Ling would not be able to last more than a few minutes!

“Tantai Ling, quickly wake up!” Ye chen shouted again, like a lion’s roar. The sound waves had a warning power.

Tantai Ling’s mind finally cleared up after she heard the loud shout. The pain on her face was slightly relieved as she continued to sit cross-legged without moving an inch. She knew that if she relaxed even a little, the illusion would take advantage of her weakness and enter her body. If it were not for ye Chen’s roar, she would probably be in the same state as sikong Jingming. The lives of so many of the ice blue sea demon tribe were on her shoulders. She couldn’t die Here!

Seeing that tantai Ling had regained her composure, ye chen heaved a sigh of relief and quickly guarded his heart.
