Lord You Lan snorted. “Hmph! Are you seriously trying to confuse me with an illusion of this level?” He emitted a strong spiritual wave of willpower to forcefully break the illusion, shifting the scenery back to the one in the real world. Back in the Dark Abyss, You Lan had started off a weak demon crawling about and had slaughtered his way up to his current level. On his road to power, he had witnessed a myriad of charming attempts and countless enticements.
General Ku Meng and Nuo Nuo An were similar in that they could not so easily be trapped inside the Mirage. In but a short moment, they had also broken their way outside through force.
“We’re still trapped inside an illusion.” Waves began rippling from Lord You Lan’s body, spreading out uniformly and shaking the layer of space as it passed along. The white mist surrounding him slowly dispersed until there was none left in a radius of five hundred meters around him.
“My Time Domain is only able to reflect this illusory white fog,” Lord You Lan began, his demeanour calm. “The illusion is spread over more than a thousand kilometers. It seems his True Meaning is not the True Meaning of Shadow, but that of Mirage. Considering its range, he must have reached at least the stage two realm in it, which means that before he moves, we can’t find any trace of him. The most we can do is wait for him to make his move; only then can we counter it and kill him!”
“Hehehe, Dong Bo Xue Ying dared say he would kill me. He was even arrogant enough to call me out as the first target. Leader, just leave him to me.” The black-robed Nuo Nuo An looked around. His eyes radiated with a green light tinted by killing intent.
During his time in the Dark Abyss, Lord You Lan had faced plenty existences Xue Ying couldn’t compare to. He calmly faced the current situation; in his opinion, his subordinate was more than enough to handle it.
…
But the observation tools of a battleship from the Deity Realm allowed them to see through it, giving those inside a clear view of Lord You Lan’s group.
“Is this Xue Ying’s True Meaning of Mirage?” Palace Head Chen, Mountain Lord He, and the other Transcendents all watched with bated breaths.
Without any warning, a voice resounded inside the battleship’s main deck. “Palace Head Chen, please isolate the surrounding thousand kilometers of space.”
“Alright.” Palace Head Chen agreed, prompting Mountain Lord He to quickly put Battleship D9 into operation. This type of action only consumed his personal magic power as a Demigod and had no effect on the ship’s energy reserves or other sources of power.
The space in a thousand kilometers around Battleship D9 seemed to freeze solid as the World Energy moved to seal and isolate the area from the outside.
“Indeed, his actions are too risky. Although his True Meaning of Mirage has a bewildering effect, is it really sufficient to deal with Lord You Lan and his group?” Palace Head Chen shook his head. “I tried warning him, but it was for naught.”
