A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 85: Kingdom of Loneliness (1/2)

wang Xinchao was one of the Boundless Sect disciples' squad leaders leading the charge He coin Qi Scholars who, like hi Realhest, with five fully-formed Lotus Platforms

The reason why he had been able to ju to five fully formed Lotus Platforms in the span of hter He had made countless contributions to the sect and had been rewarded appropriately

In the past, he had participated in hunting Sea Beasts, stood on the front lines during the Sovereign onslaught, and played a potent role in the offensive against Long Sang Country

But this was his first tiainst the Astrals He did not expect that the fight would actually develop in this fashi+on

The ly multicolored world appeared before hirey sinister fog, but after he ed up by the fog, he realized that he was actually in a realht that he was actually beginning to feel dizzy

It was as if there were countless rainbow-colored bubbles floating right before his eyes

And each bubble encompassed an entire world

Inside those bubbles, wang Xinchao could see countless scenes being played out There were bustling cities filled with people walking to and fro, tall mountains, frozen wastelands, wild oceans, andon?

As he and his soldiers were trying to regain their bearings, one of the bubbles suddenly began to expand as it floated in their direction

An instant later, wang Xinchao and his squad reappeared in the midst of a dark and dohter filled the air It had no clear origin, see from all directions, which made it impossible to locate the speaker

“HXinchao harrumphed coldly

“Be careful This is an illusion realm,” cautioned one of the soldiers as familiar with the Astrals

The Astrals were innately talented with regards to their consciousness power and Origin Energy Aent Races, they were superior in ter them extremely fearso these two innate advantages, the Astrals had developed a unique combat style: one that centered heavily around illusion realms

Almost every Astral could activate and use illusion real their powerful consciousness and skillful control over Origin Energy, they could create a massive illusion realainst their opponents

The Astrals were not good in head-on battles Their physical fragility and their sparse numbers made them much more suited for covert assassinations They were not fierce warriors, nor would they ever be

But if soht an Astral in its territory, then they would find theainst a fearsome and sinister ene Realainst a low-tier Astral precisely because of this reason

As soon as this squad entered the illusion realm, they were cut off fro they could sense around them was the environment of the illusion realm It was iht next to thely, the entirety of Tormuncardo had been instantaneously filled with similar illusion real here were capable of constructing five hundred distinct illusion realether, they did not interfere with each other at all This was another unique ability that belonged solely to the Astrals

When the Boundless Sect’s front-line troops charged into the cest the five hundred illusion reale al they could do but bring their full strength to bear in an attehting against Astrals

If I can’t defeat you directly, then I’ll pull you into a one-on-one battle, then useXinchao’s squad had entered one of these illusion realms

They were trapped within a dense forest, with no signs of ani Xinchao cautiously said, “Everyone, be careful The Astral is likely somewhere within this illusion real as we can find and kill him, the illusion realm will shatter”

“But hoe find hi around every corner in this forest”

“Don’t be too anxious The objects within an illusion realm see Origin Energy to trick our senses Even though this place appears to be filled with fields of grass and trees, you can tell that sorass and each tree is identical This is because they are all illusory, and since they are illusory, the creator of this illusion realm must have manually constructed it The , and he h consciousness power, so our opponent took many shortcuts For exarass identical, and turned a droplet of water into a vast sea,” one of the younger cultivators explained His name was Wen Hai, and his experience with formations was quite formidable

“So that’s how it is Then how are we supposed to distinguish bethat is real and what is illusory?” someone asked

“That’s easy Illusory objects cannot be real, and real objects cannot be illusory Because we are in an artificially constructed world, real objects cannot be a part of this facade As such, as long as we carefully observe e see, ill be able to find traces and clues that lead to the truth There are exactly three ways to shatter an illusion The first is to rely on your knowledge and experience The second is through brute force, either via Origin Energy or consciousness power And the third is what I as and identify the flaws in the opponent’s illusion realm,” Wen Hai said confidently

So that’s hoas Everyone felt enlightened

“Hehehe, well said” The Astral couldn’t resist speaking up again “But the question that you should really be asking yourselves is, ‘Will I have the opportunity to nullify the formation?’”

Wen Hai confidently replied, “I have already neutralized it”

“What?” Everyone present was stunned

Wen Hai pointed in front of him and said, “Look at that tree Its trunk is exceptionally thick, and it is obviously different frouarantee that so this, all of the cultivators siht

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!+ Countless powerful attacks careened towards the tree

But despite these Origin Skills being unleashed, there was no reaction whatsoever

Just when all of the Xinchao suddenly let out a guttural howl as he smashed his hammer at one of his comrades

That cultivator reacted quite quickly as well When he saang Xinchao’s sudden strike, he quickly applied a barrier to hi Xinchao’s direction

However, he was just a !

A fiery-red palm slammed into Wen Hai’s back Wen Hai roared with pain as he flew through the air, his entire body ablaze with flaure had appeared behind Wen Hai at soure’s appearance, only the red hand that was slowly retracting However, it was obvious that this figure was exuding an intense killing intent

“Be careful! It’s an Astral Servant!” soure that had just attacked Wen Hai was a puppet controlled by the Astrals It had probably cultivated some kind of powerful palm technique in the past, which hy it had been able to easily injure a Light Shaking Realm cultivator

The rest of the soldiers pounced on the Astral Servant Since the Astral Servant had revealed itself, it was iain Even so, the Astral Servant clearly did not fear death, and it similarly rushed in the direction of its enereat, but after being strengthened by Dark Qi, its body was as tough as iron Even though the Boundless Sect’s disciples had Light Shaking Real a solid rock, as they merely caused sparks to fly off of its body in all directions

But evenRealer!”
