Chapter 353: Chapter 271: Illusion (First update)_1
The Dragon Mastiff, born throughout the long passage of time, possessed an extraordinary bloodline that had reached an unprecedented level. If it were to advance further, it could even transform into a purebred True Dragon, something even they couldn’t aspire to reach. Even now, it was enough to astonish them.
Such level of beings were now hard to come across, only existing within the historical records. They didn’t expect to witness it firsthand in the midst of this mysterious fog.
For a moment, the breathing of the purple-haired youth quickened considerably, and his face even reddened slightly. It was a level of excitement he had never felt before.
As the saying goes, great dangers often harbor great opportunities. Indeed, the ancients didn’t deceive him.
“Biao, I am a little confused. Why are you so certain that the giant silhouette is the legendary Dragon Mastiff?” A charmingly beautiful young woman on the side opened her mouth, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the purple-haired youth. Her eyes were clear and bright like those of a newborn baby.
Her figure was graceful and voluptuous, her fair skin radiating a blush of crimson like a shy young girl. Her faint smile exuded charm, unmatched beauty, enough to make any opposite gender divert their gaze. The flutter of her eyelashes seemed to send flirtatious glances.
Moreover, her voice was filled with a certain indescribable allure, as if she were whispering into the listener’s ear, inducing numbness to the bone, making people involuntarily want to forever sink into such a state.
“In our clan, a fragment of a Dragon Mastiff’s skeleton had been obtained by chance. Even though it had been dead for tens of thousands of years, that framework still circulated a terrifying aura, possessing an immortal might. It’s a very unique might that is almost unprecedented. It is the same as the aura that emanated from the silhouette we just saw, so I’m very certain!! ”
The purple-haired youth spoke, but didn’t look at the glamorous young woman, his eyes even slightly evasive.
He had dealt with this woman before, more than once, and knew all too well her strange and terrifying nature. Several times, he nearly fell into her trap. If it weren’t for the protection from a treasure bestowed by a great elder of his clan, he might have shed blood.
The woman came from a mysterious origin, suspected to be the reincarnation of a great powerhouse from several eras ago. She possessed a fearsome talent, her snake-like eyes could steal souls and seize fortunes. If stared at her for too long, even a Cultivator at the Godfire Realm would become mesmerized, submit beneath the woman’s skirt, becoming her puppet, and wholly controlled by her.
“So, there really must be great opportunities present here, Biao. You’ve always regarded yourself as the peak of all geniuses. How about we engage in a contest to see who can be truly recognized by the opportunity here!”
A Celestial youth with three heads and six arms spoke out, his gaze chilly.
The Celestials and the Biao Clan weren’t opposing forces. The two were even friends in the past, but due to a woman, they became sworn enemies and are constantly at odds with each other.
“Humph, what would I fear? The appearance of the Dragon Mastiff here surely has something to do with the True Dragon. My Biao Clan has been closely following the footsteps of the True Dragon since ancient times. Why would we fear a mere Celestial?”
The purple-haired youth retorted coldly.
“But wouldn’t those rumors turn out to be true? Although there are great opportunities here, there are also great dangers. What if we meet our end halfway before finding the opportunities?”
The glamorous young woman spoke up. She had once controlled a cultivator who escaped from here with her eyes. He didn’t lie. Terrifying beings did exist here, towering and boundless, far more enormous than the so-called Dragon Mastiff they just saw.
“We Cultivators are supposed to go against the heavens, aren’t we? If we miss the great opportunities here simply because it’s dangerous, isn’t that too timid? It’s not the way a true man behaves!”
The being from the Celestial race sneered, the eyes on his two other heads remained tightly shut, leaving just the main head awake, so as to avoid making eye contact with the bewitching eyes of the beautiful woman.
“Teehee, you all may be true men, but I’m not, you know, I’ve always been frail. I can’t shoulder heavy burdens!”
The glamorous young woman said flirtatiously, with a feigned coy demeanor, delivering an irresistible charm to the opposite sex.
“In any case, we’re already here. Let’s go inside. After all, we can only know the real situation inside by stepping into this fog!”
From within the Golden Palanquin, a hoarse voice echoed out again, setting the final word.
The others seemed quite wary of the being inside the Golden Palanquin, even the glamorous young woman was no exception. As the voice within the Golden Palanquin dropped, they all nodded in agreement.
The group took a deep breath and finally plunged into the dense fog.
In an instant, the scene before their eyes changed.
Above the sky dome, the light flowed colorfully, the void trembled, and an eerie aura loomed everywhere, as if an Immortal Being was surveying the earth from above.
This aura was not an illusion but an actual presence, causing the purple-haired youth and others to involuntarily panic. They had already prepared themselves thoroughly, but still couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts.
However, due to the dense fog blocking everything around them, they could not see through it and had no idea from where that terrifying aura was coming.
“Look quickly, what are those creatures? Why haven’t we ever seen them before?”
The purple-haired youth spotted a large group of snarling and grimacing beasts in the direction of his gaze.
These were a new species that they’ve never seen before, colossal in size, stretching for several tens of meters, their entire bodies covered in crimson Scale Armor, but with three pairs of black flesh wings on their backs. They emanated a chilling aura and were densely packed, resembling a locust swarm.
Of course, they had never seen these beasts before because they were all conjured by Jiang Hui using Huang Liang’s Dream technique, modeled after a cartoon character from his previous life, and simply didn’t exist in this world.
As soon as the purple-haired youth and the others stepped into the fog, they found themselves trapped in the illusion Jiang Huai had created. Although they possessed terrifying talents, their powers were limited, so naturally, they couldn’t detect this.
“You talk too much, does it matter what they are? These beasts obviously aren’t friendly!”
The Celestial being roared,
Directly swung his fist, illuminating the sky, dispersing the cloud in all directions, terrifying beyond measure.
Wherever the divine light passed, a large number of monsters fell, crashing into nonexistence. In just a moment, the originally thickly clouded sky was directly torn a big hole.
This endless divine light all came from the same person, demonstrating the terrifying strength of this three-headed, six-armed youth!
Seeing his old rival showing off his power, the purple-haired youth immediately couldn’t stand it.
He took a step and directly crossed the sky, his long hair draped over his shoulders, his body agile like a True Dragon, each muscle embedded with lightning symbols, blazingly bright. A casual motion resulted in several hundred-meter-long purple-red light beams easily turning mountains into powder, let alone the grinning monsters woven out – they quickly fell like a heavy snowstorm…
