“Jiang Chen, you think you can fight me by just dodging?!” Venerable Extermination roared.
“Why are you so angry? This only means that you aren’t capable enough.”
Jiang Chen’s mocking tone stung Venerable Extermination’s self-esteem once more. He had utterly lost his face today, from the moment Jiang Chen killed the Old Emperor in front of him until now when he still couldn’t take Jiang Chen down. Even with his composure as a half-step Sovereign, he began to find it unbearable and wanted very badly to shred Jiang Chen to pieces, however he couldn’t even touch the sleeve of Jiang Chen.
Despite already sealing the entire battlefield with his half-step Sovereign qi, Jiang Chen was still able to soar like a dragon, appearing on different location at any time. That kind of terrifying movement technique made him angry and also speechless.
An incident like this was no doubt unprecedented, and stifling to a half-step Sovereign.
“Kid, you don’t have to be arrogant. When I said I’ll kill you, I’ll surely kill you. I’m going to ensure that you die very tragically after this.”
Venerable Extermination wasted no time. Wisps of black air rushed out of his body, spreading across silently to every corner of the battlefield. He had never thought that he would need to use the Lost Illusion Technique to deal with a mere half-step Immortal Venerable.
This was the trump card he was proudest of. He had lost count of the number of experts that had lost in his illusion realm, and ended up as his prey. He believed that as long as he trapped Jiang Chen in the illusion realm, Jiang Chen would be finished.
Despite the Lost Illusion Technique being extremely stealthy, it still couldn’t escape Jiang Chen’s senses.
“You are using it at last.”
The corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth curled into a smirk. Instead of feeling fearful, he appeared to be unusually excited. He had been using the guerrilla tactic against his opponent, waiting for this moment to come, because he had almost no chance of victory if Venerable Extermination didn’t use the illusion technique.
Although Jiang Chen’s Great Illusion Realm was more powerful compared to the Lost Illusion Technique, it was undoubtedly impossible to trap Venerable Extermination with it. After all, Venerable Extermination wasn’t a fool. Not only would he not be able to trap Venerable Extermination, but also receive the backlash from his illusion realm, the consequences would be severe.
But when Venerable Extermination cast the illusion realm first, the scenario would become entirely different. One should know that once one’s illusion realm failed to harm one’s opponent, it would hurt the caster instead. Once the Lost Illusion was broken and replaced by Jiang Chen’s Great Illusion, Venerable Extermination would surely suffer an incredible backlash which would severely affect his combat strength.
At that time, Jiang Chen would be able to silently gain control of the illusion realm. The injured Venerable Extermination would be trapped within the illusion. Then, Jiang Chen would launch all of his means to turn the tide.
This was Jiang Chen’s perfect plan, and everything had been moving according to his plan. From the instant Venerable Extermination cast the Lost Illusion Realm, he was bound to lose its control to Jiang Chen.
Wisps of illusory current drifted on the battlefield. Venerable Extermination was very careful in casting out the illusion technique out for fear that Jiang Chen would sense it, and escape.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, acted the way Venerable Extermination had expected. He continued to strike out the Fire Dragon Seal and didn’t seem to be aware of the qi of the illusion realm at all.
“Kid, I’m going to let you be arrogant for a while. Soon, I’ll let you taste the terror of my illusion realm and die a graveless death.” A malicious smile was plastered on Venerable Extermination’s face as if Jiang Chen had already become his prey.
Very quickly, the Lost Illusion Technique was fully cast out, turning the whole battlefield into an illusion. Within the illusion, Venerable Extermination vanished out of sight, and black paths that seemed like the passageways to death appeared. The place had turned into a dark world, boundless and gloomy.
“*Jie…* *Jie…* Jiang Chen kid, welcome to my Lost Illusion. I’m the absolute ruler in here. Your death is certain today. But since you have a very unusual movement technique, I would like to see how you can escape from here.” Venerable Extermination’s voice reverberated from different directions, and fell into Jiang Chen’s ears.
“Extermination, you think that this is enough to trap me to death? How naïve?!” Jiang Chen spoke aloud, the flames in his body soaring.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to kill you because you don’t deserve that privilege. I’ll wait until you lose yourself, and suffer horrendous pain before killing you.”
Venerable Extermination spoke in a smug tone. He felt elated, as though all the stifled feelings he felt earlier had vanished. Now he had become the one who controlled Jiang Chen’s fate.
Jiang Chen smiled but remained silent. The situation was precisely what he had wished for. Now, he could place all his focus on the Great Illusion Realm.
Rays of light exited his body and spread across the area, however it didn’t alarm Venerable Extermination.
In Venerable Extermination’s opinion, Jiang Chen was merely finding ways to get out of his illusion realm. As a matter of fact, even if he knew that Jiang Chen was casting out some kind of illusion technique, he wouldn’t stop him because he was very confident in his Lost Illusion Technique.
Although Jiang Chen had acquired the Illusion Heart Sutra from an insignificant figure, it had been a very mysterious and profound sutra. Even now, it still had tremendous room for advancement. He speculated that this was a supreme illusion technique that had been passed down eons ago. And the Great Illusion Realm always came in handy.
