Chapter 68 Fierce Battle: Illusionary Warrior VS Controller
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
A strange flame formed a circle.
Through the hole, one can vaguely see the dried rocks on the outside.
The yellowish mountains in the distance were clearly the outer edge of the Fire Cloud Continent. Confirming that the flying ring could definitely "pass through the wall," the fiery barrier in front of him was not an insurmountable Wailing Wall. Perseus breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Draven.
"Let's go!"
"Kandila and Ahab were also randomly teleported, but they're not far from us. Before we start collecting the Fire Crystal Cores, we need to meet with them first."
Next came the journey itself.
Perseus and Draven raced forward, collecting Fire Crystal Cores as they went.
Since they were still on the outskirts, the intensity of the first layer of fire was not high, and the two did not encounter any particularly troublesome fire spirits as they walked down the first layer.
Soon the four of them met on the second floor.
"Perseus, who is this...?"
"I am a contestant from the Flamelight lineage who specializes in collecting outer fire crystal cores."
"Are you a scavenger?"
Ahab looked at Draven with some surprise, completely unaware of the change in Perseus and Candira's positions.
So, while he was talking to Draven...
Beams of light shot out from the two of them, and strange electric currents formed a four-sided cage, isolating the virtual universe and creating an artificial "information cocoon" with minimal effort.
At this point, Ahab also realized that something was wrong.
As he cautiously retreated rapidly towards the rock wall on his left, he drew his longsword and looked warily at his two companions.
"Kandila, you've betrayed the Crimson Clan!"
Clearly, the Lord of the Crimson Clan was wrong.
From beginning to end, Perseus and Candira were trying to avoid fighting him... provided that he could become one of them.
"Master, how are your preparations going?"
"Master...Master..."
Ahab looked at Candira in shock, and just as he was about to fight back, everything went black.
His body trembled incessantly, and his soul sank deeper and deeper into the erosion of the pink mist. Finally, through the corner of his eye, the Lord of the Fire Cloud Clan saw a seed.
A seed that took root in his heart like a robber.
"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...
Centered on the seed, slender vines grow rapidly, taking root in flesh and blood, and binding the soul.
Even now, though Ahab's will was stronger than Candira's and he was on the verge of breaking through to immortality, he still couldn't escape the control of the Soul-Binding Wood Silk and was forced to become a puppet.
This powerful eighth-level Realm Lord was being controlled.
Perseus breathed a sigh of relief, leaving Draven to continue circling the perimeter, while he himself, with two companions, flew through the second level of space towards the more dangerous area behind.
……
The passageways receded rapidly to both sides.
As the three of them walked together into the third level, they passed through 53 somewhat misleading forks in the road before arriving at the final, unavoidable turning point.
Suddenly emerging from the shadows after the turning point.
"We've been waiting for a long time—"
A sharp, murderous voice echoed in the huge cavity.
Five Realm Lords, each at the peak of the Realm Lord level, advanced simultaneously, their weapons bursting with intense flames as they hurled them at the three.
Perseus hurriedly swung the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon).
Fire Dance Whirlwind - All Things Return to Ruins!
A raging storm, mixed with dark red, towering demonic flames, instantly unfolded an insurmountable world of fire.
As the phantom of the world descended and erupted, Perseus sneered as he thrust forward with his spear, then slapped it horizontally, instantly forcing back four world lords in succession.
Only at the very back was a tall, thin, and powerful figure, wielding a black axe, exuding a heavy aura, and carrying a huge 'turtle shell' on his back. Despite this, he did not appear slow, managing to block the sweeping spear and raising his hand to swing it heavily forward.
Iron fire and setting sun!
A sudden burst of black afterimages blossomed into a flower, and every visible detail on the flower carried a sharp edge that could cut through the void.
Perseus's spear trembled incessantly, its dense spear flowers darting left and right, smashing through the bloodthirsty "black snakes," while the Hun Tian Ling beside him fluttered, bringing down a dreamlike scene.
The tall, thin man's eyes flashed upon seeing this.
"An illusion-style martial artist?"
He chuckled twice, then swung the black axe in his hand again, ignoring Perseus's illusion and continuing to control the telekinetic weapon in conjunction with the primal weapon to attack, forcing Perseus out of his rhythm.
"Get out of here!!!"
At the point where the two collided, a burst of air erupted rapidly. Perseus steadied himself with a stomp of his foot, and the spear in his hand grew larger along with his palm.
Partial Multiplication - Phoenix Nods!
The spear tip suddenly thrust out, and with a flick of the waist, a cold star, like a ray of light, pierced through the air with terrifying pressure.
Seeing this, the tall, thin man took a deep breath.
"I really underestimated you—"
He suddenly spun around, and the exploded black blades converged inward, like a black umbrella, undulating and surging like a school of small fish, heading towards the Falling Flame Spear.
The two realm lords, who were trying to avoid Perseus, had to quickly dodge.
From a distance, two afterimages, one dark red and one black, constantly intertwined within the fiery cave before them, often traversing tens of thousands of kilometers in a single breath.
"This idea is tricky, let's go!"
A moment later, seeing that Perseus's aura had hardly changed, the five realm lords on the other side turned and left.
Perseus showed no intention of letting them leave. He directly grabbed their tails, swung out his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), and quickly began to entangle them.
"Boss, help me—"
The unlucky fellow who had been entangled looked grim and turned to lash out with his whip.
The whip and the red ribbon intertwined, and the two forces clashed. Perseus used his weapon to pull him away, forcing him to face the spear blade directly, where he was smashed down by the latter.
"Send a distress signal immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pre-set email began to be sent.
"Countdown 5 seconds, 5, 4... 1, sent successfully!"
Immediately, the group of people who had rushed to the end of the passageway smiled.
Before the three elders outside could use the control core of the Flowing Fire Pool to take everyone away, Perseus, Ahab, and Candira simultaneously took action nearby, cutting off the virtual universe's connection in the same way and completing the corresponding enslavement.
"It's a success."
The young man wielding the whip opened his eyes, a hint of fanaticism in them.
He nodded to his new master, Perseus, but the communication bracelet in his hand quickly connected to a treasure on the outside, and he disappeared along with it, obviously teleporting away from the Pool of Flowing Fire.
Perseus nodded in satisfaction.
"This is the fourth one."
"But, Candira, do you know how this teleportation works?"
"The virtual universe is a positioning tool."
Candira nodded and began to explain the mechanism of this teleportation.
"Once the location is established, point-to-point teleportation can be performed through the original crystal core of the Flowing Fire Pool. However, only those of the Fire Cloud Clan can teleport within the Flowing Fire Pool. Other powerful individuals who attempt to leave by turning into fire will be intercepted by the fire wall and reduced to ashes."
"Of course, the owner shouldn't have this problem."
"Master can simulate my race's bloodline and soul. Since I was able to enter during the teleportation, there shouldn't be any problem leaving..."
