Chapter 564 Illusion
“Thanks to the care of my elders, I have always been lucky, but... you should not have said anything rude to the guests, right?” Huo Yuhao said meaningfully.
“Of course not! You…” For some reason, Wang Dong suddenly felt that his momentum had diminished.
"It's best not to do anything disrespectful then."
"Who are you referring to? Your cheap old Deng?" Wang Dong became angrier and angrier, but he couldn't reveal too much in front of so many outsiders. "You know what he did!"
"Not everyone has the same self-willed hobby as you."
"What do you mean?" Wang Dong didn't want to think about the implication of Huo Yuhao's words. "It seems that you have learned a lot from him." This look made her more and more angry.
“Yes!” Huo Yuhao nodded seriously, as if he was particularly proud of this. “For example, the first thing to do when pursuing someone you like is to not bring unnecessary trouble to the other person because of your stupidity.”
Long Aotian and Ji Juechen looked at each other. What were these two people whispering about?
However, Long Aotian agreed with Huo Yuhao's words. After all, he had a fiancée.
“Sorry, I won’t disturb you two. Brother Juechen, please take the Young Master to the Great Soul Fighting Arena or the Martial Arts Arena.” Huo Yuhao no longer entangled with Wang Dong. His voice seemed to carry some kind of magic that made people want to obey unconsciously.
Even spirit masters like Ji Juechen and Long Aotian, who have made great achievements in spiritual power, were completely unable to detect the subtlety of this spiritual suggestion. Ji Juechen nodded naturally. Although Long Aotian vaguely felt that something was wrong, with his current cultivation level, it was impossible for him to detect the spiritual suggestion of the Extreme Douluo level. He subconsciously followed Ji Juechen out of the banquet hall, and only came to his senses after walking through several corridors. He had completely forgotten the task assigned by the sect master.
Wang Dong saw everything. If her mental power had not already transformed into spiritual consciousness, she would have been tricked without realizing it.
Under the lights of the banquet hall, the guests were still chatting and laughing, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"Are you so impatient to test your new soul skill? However, your little tricks are of no use to me!" Wang Dong crossed her arms across her chest, her tone a little unhappy. If this guy breaks through to the god level in the future, his achievements will definitely be higher than hers.
Huo Yuhao laughed when he heard that. It was obvious at first glance that Wang Dong was not an expert at using mental power. That was not a soul skill at all. It was just the most basic use of mental power.
"This is it." As he spoke, a small snake swam out from between his eyebrows, as thin as a gossamer but emitting a fascinating faint light. The snake's body was almost transparent, and its scales were made up of fine light dust. It only created a ripple-like faint blue color when it swam, leaving a mist-like trail in the air that was so faint that it was almost invisible.
Wang Dong's eyes were immediately attracted by the strange snake-like light band: "Is this your new soul? What kind of soul beast is this?"
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised: "Ah? Aren't you the daughter of the Sea God? You can't even recognize her?"
"Don't mention that fake person!" Wang Dong was instantly furious. The scene of him and Tang San fighting on the Arctic Ice Field not long ago was still vivid in his mind. "Who is his daughter?!"
"Wait!" Wang Dong, who was almost led astray, suddenly remembered the important matter, "Don't try to get away with it. We agreed to let the beast tide advance to Soto City and then stop..."
“Who told you that?” Huo Yuhao interrupted her with a smile, “You’re too loud. Let’s go to another place to talk.”
Before he finished speaking, an illusory blue light suddenly spread out with him as the center. In an instant, everything around him seemed to be shrouded in a faint cloud of smoke. Wang Dong felt his vision blurry in an instant, and even Huo Yuhao, who was so close to him, became vague.
What shocked her even more was that the surrounding environment suddenly changed dramatically. The concentration of water in the air rose sharply. Every movement she made became extremely slow, and even breathing became difficult. Invisible pressure surged from all directions, as if the whole person was immersed in the deep sea.
"This is... a domain?! How did you convince the deep-sea beast to become your soul?" The water element fluctuations around her became more and more violent, and the sense of oppression also increased. Although Huo Yuhao's mention of the Sea God had made her furious, she calmed down at this moment and immediately realized that this soul was likely a top-level beast from the deep sea.
“Once the bait of becoming a god is cast, the ocean overlords will naturally rush to take the bait. They fought tooth and nail for this last spot. I just picked the one that suits me best.” Huo Yuhao had a faint smile on his face as the snake-like light band coiled around him.
Wang Dong could almost imagine the tragic scene at that time from these plain words, and what kind of bloody storm the deep-sea beasts had stirred up in the depths of the ice sea for this opportunity to become gods, and the instigator of this killing was standing in front of her.
"So what kind of soul beast is this?" Wang Dong's curiosity was aroused again, and he once again forgot the original purpose of questioning Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a smile. This was the second time that Wang Dong was successfully diverted by him. How dare this fellow say that his spiritual skills were ineffective against her? At this rate, he was sure that he would be able to talk about this and that until the end of the banquet without having to explain the beast tide.
Poor Wang Dong, he was played around in his hands.
"Guess?" He deliberately kept the secret, the dark blue halo looked particularly dreamy in the field, "Here's a hint, it has some connection with the spirit of one of the seven sacred pillars guarding Douluo on Sea God Island ten thousand years ago."
Wang Dong's expression instantly turned cold. "I'm not interested in anything related to Tang San. I don't know, and I don't want to know the answer. You can tell me if you want."
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened. She was led astray by this guy again! She was supposed to ask about the beast tide, but she was diverted to these irrelevant topics.
"Stop changing the subject! We must make things clear today regarding the beast tide!"
Wang Dong's cheeks flushed with anger, and her divine power surged violently in her body. Just as she was about to forcefully break through the realm, Huo Yuhao suddenly snapped his fingers and disappeared without a trace, leaving her alone trapped in this strange blue mist.
Although the unknown is often the most frightening, Wang Dong, as a god, is not afraid at all. She snorted coldly, and her majestic divine consciousness poured out, turning into an invisible net that penetrated the surrounding smoke and clouds. However, what shocked her was that her divine consciousness was like being stuck in a quagmire in the smoke and clouds, spreading very slowly, and everything she sensed was blurred.
Even more bizarre was that her consciousness seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism. As her spiritual power deepened, the surrounding blue light mist suddenly surged violently. Wang Dong felt a flash in front of his eyes, and when his vision returned, he found himself standing on the wall of an unfamiliar city. Under his feet were solid bricks and stones, and the surroundings were crowded with solemn-looking soul masters.
On the distant horizon, a large army of soul beasts was advancing slowly. They were not moving very fast, but their order was so orderly that it was frightening. In the breeze, the unique fishy smell of the beasts had drifted to the top of the city, causing many soul masters to frown unconsciously.
Wang Dong's pupils shrank slightly. This was clearly the scene of a beast tide attacking! She suddenly realized that she might have fallen into an illusion created by Huo Yuhao.
“Huo Yuhao, what on earth are you doing?!” Her angry shout attracted the attention of the surrounding soul masters, who all looked at the girl who suddenly went crazy with surprised eyes.
"Damn it..." Wang Dong gritted her teeth. This illusion was so real that it was sickening. She could clearly smell the stench of soul beasts, feel the rough touch of the bricks and stones of the city wall, and even hear the nervous breathing of the soul masters around her.
“Don’t you want to know about the beast tide?” Huo Yuhao’s voice suddenly rang in her ears, but only she could hear it. “I’m recreating the scene at that time for you.”
The voice was somewhat teasing. "If you want to stop it, try as you please. However, the established facts cannot be changed. So you can also do nothing and watch the beast tide advance to Sunset Forest."
Wang Dong was so angry that she was shaking all over. She turned around suddenly, but only saw the confused expressions of the soul masters guarding the city. Huo Yuhao's figure was nowhere to be found. Only that damn illusion was still terrifyingly real. In the distance, the footsteps of the soul beast army were getting closer and closer, shaking the city walls slightly.
The flame of destruction condensed in her hands, and the power of the gods erupted without reservation at this moment. The sword light, wrapped in the breath of destruction, slashed towards the beasts. Wherever it passed, all the soul beasts turned into ashes. Suddenly, thunderous cheers broke out on the top of the city.
Du Bu Si and the others who were confronting the beast in front looked back in shock, their eyes full of surprise and hope. This scene made Wang Dong's heart pierce. If she had gone to Soto City to take a look, would it have changed anything?
The flames of destruction surged around her body. If she had not been injured and was not good at dealing with spiritual opponents, how could she be trapped in the illusion by Huo Yuhao, who was still a human? But on second thought, could that guy who was completely in the soul beast camp really be considered a human?
By the way, the Sunset Forest. Huo Yuhao mentioned the Sunset Forest at the end. According to Long Aotian, the beast tide in reality stopped there. If she could defend Soto City in this illusion and prevent the beast tide from advancing to the Sunset Forest, perhaps she could find the key to cracking the illusion?
But Huo Yuhao seemed to be able to sense her thoughts through the illusion, or perhaps the expression on her face was too obvious. He spoke again with a hint of sarcasm: "Do I want to go against the teacher? Speaking of which, you are even less human, right? Your grandmother is a soul beast, and your mother is also a soul beast, with only one-quarter human blood in her body. Are you standing up for those humans, or are you doing it out of selfishness? Ah! I get it, you don't want to break the filter you have for the teacher, so you are eager to put all the blame on the Beast God, right?"
"Shut up!" Wang Dong's voice wavered for the first time. She suddenly realized that the source of her anger might not have been the beast tide itself, but that she seemed to have never understood the real Muxing. The flames of destruction surged out of control, burning spider-web-like cracks in the entire illusion.
The illusion shattered like a mirror, but in an instant the scene changed again. This time, Wang Dong seemed to be a bystander, watching the beast tide flatten Soto City and move towards the next city.
"It's enough to make Shrek Academy pay the price. Why involve so many innocent people?" Wang Dong's voice was trembling. The child chosen by the God of Emotions keenly discovered that she was trying to conceal her emotions.
Huo Yuhao's figure appeared beside her, and his tone was calm and almost cold, "Teacher once said that a necessary war is a just war. Haven't you always admired her? Why do you want to go against her now?"
“Don’t use her as a cover!” Wang Dong turned around abruptly, his eyes burning with anger. “You know exactly who is commanding the beast tide!”
“I will personally ask her for clarification. Get out of the way!” Wang Dong shouted angrily, and the Sword of Rebellion in his hand, wrapped in the Flame of Destruction, slashed towards Huo Yuhao. In an instant, the blue and purple divine light surged like a tide, and the illusion collapsed wherever it passed. The city wall turned into blue light mist again, and the light mist was purified into nothingness by the Flame of Destruction.
Just as the illusion was about to completely dissipate, space was suddenly torn apart, and a dragon claw covered with black scales penetrated the void and accurately grabbed her sword blade. Before Wang Dong could withdraw her weapon, she felt a strong spatial fluctuation. The sky and the earth were spinning, and a biting cold wind suddenly hit her. She had been forcibly transferred to the Arctic ice field outside Dragon City.
Wang Dong looked up and saw a pair of dark golden dragon eyes looking down at her from above in the flying snow.
"Let go!" Wang Dong was even more furious when she saw the culprit of the beast tide. She tried hard to pull back the Sword of Rebellion, but found that the blade was firmly clamped by Di Tian. The sharp sword edge split the hard dragon scales, and dragon blood dripped down the sword body, but he was completely unaware.
"Heh!" Instead of letting go, Di Tian increased his strength. "Using her dragon scales to forge a sword, but only producing this... What a waste of talent." The implication was that she did not deserve such a precious gift.
Wang Dong raised his chin provocatively and sneered, "No matter how bad the soul guide I made is, the materials were given to me by her. Do you have them?"
Di Tian's pupils suddenly shrank into thin lines. If Huo Yuhao were here, he would definitely be able to sense the Beast God's suppressed rage. However, Di Tian showed no sign of anger. He not only loosened his grip on the Sword of Rebellion, but also slowed down his tone, "You only know how to ask for things from her. Don't think of me the same way as you do. Your Highness has been very kind to me. I can only..."
Only what? Before Wang Dong could draw back his sword, the dark dragon claws suddenly glowed with golden light, and the claw tips burst into colorful light. Two completely different divine powers collided with each other, and the erupting energy storm instantly swallowed up Di Tian's subsequent words, but Wang Dong, who was at the center of the storm, heard it clearly.
The violent energy storm swept across the entire ice field in an instant, and in this devastating energy turbulence, a space crack suddenly appeared.
“You are looking for death, are you sick?!” Huo Yuhao heard Wang Dong’s angry curse as soon as he stepped out of the void and was almost blown away by the oncoming aftermath of divine power.
