Chapter 215: Illusion Domain?

“Kill!”

Having barely survived the perilous situation, Dongbo Xueying hesitated not a moment. He dashed straight toward the nearest formation disk! If he could destroy it, he could appear at any location within a hundred-mile radius at will, allowing him to eliminate his enemies one by one. The team from the Temple of Time and Space would no longer be able to surround him.

“Second plan failed—activate the third plan! Give it everything you’ve got!” the handsome young man snarled with a hideous expression.

“Let’s do it!” Though slowed by repelling forces, the man of black metal gritted his teeth and charged forward.

The succubus girl, Demon Kilro, and the new swordsman Demon all sped toward him rapidly!

“Freeze!” From a distance, the woman in red robes cast a spell while gazing at Dongbo Xueying.

“Hmm?” Dongbo Xueying suddenly saw a flash of red, and a massive red lotus had already enveloped him.

“Break!”

The Starstone Cloudfire Spear spun with astonishing curvature, its tip directly piercing the red lotus before him. The power of the Ultimate Penetration Principle erupted, instantly shattering the red lotus, which could not offer the slightest resistance.

“Everyone, be careful! His defense is extremely strong—he can endure twelve of my wave attacks directly with his body. His defense surpasses each of ours. Moreover, his strength is formidable. He can withstand spells at the peak of demigod power and remain balanced, not even getting blown away. His physical strength must be terrifying,” the handsome young man transmitted mentally. At the same time, he moved fastest—faster even than Dongbo Xueying himself. His flight emitted strange ripples as he reached Dongbo Xueying first.

Demon Kilro was second!

Although Dongbo Xueying was already fast, he had still been affected by the red lotus. Before he could reach the formation disk, he faced these two opponents striking in succession.

“Back off!” The long spear lashed out powerfully, its shaft like a whip, as if a star had been swung with immense force.

“Hmm?” The handsome young man wore gloves on both hands, lightly and gently deflecting the force. Dense waves emanated from his palms. When he collided with the spear, a terrifying power erupted!

“What incredible strength!” Though he had anticipated this, he still felt shocked, his entire body drifting backward.

Dongbo Xueying furrowed his brows. This handsome young man was indeed his greatest enemy. His spear strike felt like hitting empty space—it was hollow and evasive.

“He is human, making it difficult for him to cultivate an undying body! Piercing through his skull should kill him!” The evasive young man transmitted to the others. “Engage in close combat and pierce his skull!”

“Alright.”

A deep roar followed.

Demon Kilro’s twin claws formed a claw shape, aiming to seize Dongbo Xueying. His weapon gloves’ sharp five blades radiated dazzling golden light, which converged and compressed, creating a dramatic transformation. Clearly, a fierce and violent force was building up, ready to erupt the moment the claws struck their target.

“Boom!” Even though Dongbo Xueying was fully enveloped in colorful lights and bound by the fluctuating space, his spear thrust was still astonishingly fast.

Spinning, the spear tip became the most terrifying point in heaven and earth.

Ultimate!

Penetration!

“Boom!” When Demon Kilro faced this strike directly, he truly felt the terror of the Ultimate Penetration. He could not think of anything else—only one thought remained: defend! Defend against it!

Too fast!

Dongbo Xueying instantly launched three consecutive strikes. The first caused Demon Kilro’s hands to go numb, the second left him flustered, and the third pierced straight through his skull! Though Demon Kilro’s body was extremely strong, capable of resisting attacks from ordinary fifth-stage demons, he could not withstand the Ultimate Penetration.

“Ultimate Penetration—it’s too fast!” This scene chilled the hearts of the others.

The Ultimate Penetration moved faster than spatial wave transmission speed when piercing through The Void!

Even though he could no longer pierce through The Void due to the formation, its speed in the physical world had not slowed at all—it remained terrifyingly fast!

“Kilro, don’t confront him directly!” transmitted the handsome young man as he flashed forward again, blocking Dongbo Xueying’s spear with a wave of his hand.

“Damn it, he’s countering me!” Kilro gritted his teeth in frustration.

His Golden Radiance Principle was equally fierce and violent! He had even begun to integrate the Spatial Blade Principle into it, pursuing ultimate explosive power! And the Ultimate Penetration was also an extremely aggressive principle. When these two clashed… just a slight advantage in speed allowed Dongbo Xueying to win in only three strikes!

At this moment, the importance of defense became evident. Like the handsome young man, whose defensive techniques were more advanced, even when at a disadvantage, he could still entangle his opponent instead of being defeated in a few moves.

“Phantom Domain Arrival!”

The succubus girl was the third to approach. Her bewitching eyes now seemed like endless whirlpools.

Whoosh—

A wave enveloped Dongbo Xueying.

“Hmm?”

Dongbo Xueying’s expression slightly changed. Suddenly, Kilro and the handsome young man around him vanished without a trace. There was not a single opponent left.

All the demons and experts from the Temple of Time and Space had disappeared.

“A Phantom Domain?” Dongbo Xueying murmured inwardly. “Dragging my spirit into an illusion? Compared to the The Void Realm, this Phantom Domain is truly crude!”

The Phantom Domain Principle was a fourth-tier principle.

With evolution, it could potentially become the third-tier Phantom Realm Principle. Going further, it could even ascend to the more extraordinary second-tier The Void Realm Principle.

Phantom Realm and Phantom Image were both third-tier principles.

They actually emphasized different aspects.

Phantom Realm focused on the word “realm,” excelling at dragging enemies’ spirits into an illusory realm, trapping them forever.

Phantom Image focused on the word “image,” capable of creating numerous illusory clones! For example, forming dozens of Dongbo Xueyings, some even possessing formidable power.

They represented different directions.

Dongbo Xueying had originally started his cultivation with Phantom Image. Now, he had nearly perfected the Prototype of the The Void Realm Principle. He only needed to slightly refine and compensate for certain deficiencies to fully master the The Void Realm Principle. What Dongbo Xueying lacked was precisely some aspects of the Phantom Realm.

This ‘succubus’ wielded the Phantom Realm aspect of the Phantom Domain, and her mastery was already complete! Dongbo Xueying’s eyes lit up as he noticed some aspects he had previously lacked.

Although Dongbo Xueying had not yet fully mastered the The Void Realm Principle, he could already manipulate The Void Realm to some extent. The Void Realm was the ultimate form of the Phantom Domain, so to him, this crude Phantom Domain was nothing but a joke.

…

“His spirit has been dragged into the Phantom Domain!” Seeing Dongbo Xueying seemingly stunned, the handsome young man was delighted and transmitted mentally, “Everyone, hurry up and strike before his soul struggles free from the Phantom Domain—kill him while we can!”

“Dragged into the Phantom Domain?”

“Our chance has come!”

They all rejoiced.

Although they held some hope, they dared not be too optimistic. After all, such a prodigy, capable of comprehending such a powerful principle, must have a strong mind. It was extremely difficult to drag such a cultivator into a Phantom Domain. However, there was always a possibility—perhaps Dongbo Xueying had a flaw in his mind cultivation?

There was a saying: no principle was absolutely invincible! Of course, this saying excluded the first-tier principles.

First-tier principles were truly perfect and ultimate principles.

As for the others?

They all had various flaws and weaknesses! As long as there were weaknesses, they could be exploited. A powerful cultivator might perish due to a mental flaw leading him into a Phantom Domain.

“Kill.”

The black metal man swung his axe forcefully, directly striking Dongbo Xueying’s waist. The Star Principle barrier easily blocked it.

Dongbo Xueying almost instinctively thrust his spear!

Fast as lightning.

Boom!

It pierced straight through the chest of the black metal man, his strong body beginning to shatter and collapse.

“Boom boom boom…” Dongbo Xueying seemed to panic, wildly attacking in all directions. His spear danced, thrusting furiously or lashing about, instantly covering the entire area with his attacks. The black metal man’s broken body drifted far away, quickly recovering, and he broke into a cold sweat.

“Your earlier attack impacted his body,” the handsome young man transmitted urgently. “Everyone, be cautious. Although he has been dragged into the Phantom Domain, his body and spirit are closely connected. He will feel any impact on his body. He must have already realized he is in the Phantom Domain. Although he is now panicking and attacking wildly, don’t worry—he cannot see us. He is blind! We must act quickly before he escapes the Phantom Domain and kills him.”

…

Dongbo Xueying appeared to be frantically attacking in all directions, but in reality, it was all a ruse. He was carefully observing this crude Phantom Domain Principle, every attacker within his observation range! The black metal man’s principle was the weakest, his strength the lowest, and Dongbo Xueying could already discern the general level of his axe’s laws.

Just like when Sikong Yang and Palace Master Chen saw Dongbo Xueying using the Prototype of Ultimate Penetration and judged it to be a Prototype of a second-tier principle.

By the same logic, Dongbo Xueying instantly determined that the black metal man was merely at the second stage of the fourth-tier principle! His strength was nothing more than raw power; his mastery of the laws was truly weak. That was why Dongbo Xueying had deliberately endured the strike. Of course, with the Star Principle’s formidable defense, even an attack from a second-tier principle could be endured!

“Roar roar roar~~~” Dongbo Xueying appeared ‘panicked’ and ‘wild,’ furiously attacking in all directions, but his mind remained calm and observant.

Boom boom boom.

His rapid, violent attacks coincidentally knocked Kilro back and seriously wounded the lightning-fast swordsman ‘Demon Blade’!

“I see,” Dongbo Xueying suddenly felt joy surge within him. The final missing fragment of the The Void Realm Principle had now been grasped!
