"Hahahahaha!"

As Su Yuan's laughter grew louder, the old man, or rather the silver-haired little girl, became increasingly embarrassed and annoyed.

The pressure from a Golden Core cultivator suddenly erupted, and in the next instant, it would crush the entire scene and turn Su Yuan into dust.

But just then, two abrupt claps and satisfied laughter suddenly rang out in the arena.

The two laughter sounds, almost identical in tone, overlapped and became indistinguishable.

As laughter and applause erupted, the silver-haired loli and the surrounding children vanished into thin air.

Su Yuan's cultivation, which he had been unable to mobilize due to being trapped in the illusion, returned to normal, and his appearance also returned to its original state.

The illusion vanished.

Successfully completed the challenge!

However, Su Yuan was not happy that the illusion had been broken; instead, he became even more serious.

The real battle is about to begin.

He looked up and saw that the cave was still the same cave full of primitive charm, but in the place that originally belonged to the old Taoist priest, stood the figure of the fake Chu Jiang, who was somewhere between reality and illusion.

Beside Su Yuan, Chu Lanxi's figure had appeared at some point.

"Thanks to you, brave knight, I am saved now."

Chu Lanxi clapped her hands and smiled as she spoke:
"However, I have exhausted all my strength in the fight against my shadow, so I can't help you in the upcoming battle. It's up to you to do your best."

Su Yuan: "..."

Tsk, all that saving him was for nothing.

However, rescuing Chu Lanxi was a strategic victory in itself, which meant that from now on, the fake Chu Jiang would no longer have any hostages.

As soon as the illusion was broken, the Taixu Chu-fighting group guarding outside the cave immediately teleported in and appeared behind Su Yuan and Chu Lanxi.

On one side is a BOSS with almost no health left, and on the other side is a team of heroes composed of three Nascent Soul cultivators. The combat power of the two sides is obviously extremely unequal.

What seems to be unfolding next is a righteous brawl!

But the fake Chu Jiang, faced with this situation, was completely unaware that he was surrounded. His laughter never stopped from beginning to end, and in the end, he even laughed until tears came out.

After a long while, the fake Chu Jiang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned his gaze to Su Yuan:
"Su Yuan, you're really something else! You actually used this method to force my teacher to take the sex-changing pills? You're a true hero who puts himself into this situation. I admire you."

"And what's more, you actually found a way to pass the level without any trial and error. Is your thought process the same as mine? No wonder the original body treats you like a good brother."

"If I weren't a shadow, I would definitely want to have a good drink with you."

Su Yuan rolled his eyes and said indifferently:
"Don't say such boundaryless things, okay? I only need Chu Lanxi as my friend, there's no place for someone like you who's just a substitute."

Having said that, he stopped wasting words with the fake Chu Jiang and went straight to the point:

"Hurry up and hand over the branch of the Primordial Chaos Path, and I'll give you a quick death."

Upon hearing this, the fake Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled:

"It seems you think you can take me down, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. I still have a lot of control over the Void World, so the outcome is still uncertain."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague premonition that the worst was about to happen.

—This fake Chu Jiang can forcibly influence the beings in the Taixu Illusionary Realm through the Hunyuan Dao.

"Do it!"

Su Yuan roared.

But as soon as his voice rang out, the fake Chu Jiang's mocking gaze sharpened, and he coldly swept his eyes over the three Nascent Soul cultivators behind Su Yuan.

In that instant, it was as if invisible chains appeared from the void, binding the bodies of the three Nascent Soul cultivators from the inside out.

Only Su Yuan could perceive that these chains originated from the Primordial Chaos Dao.

It was similar to the Demonic Thunder, a Heavenly Lock formed by controlling the Heavenly Dao. In this home world created by the fake Chu Jiang, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not escape it.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the stronger a cultivator's cultivation level, the stronger the shackles of the Heavenly Dao they are bound by.

Fortunately, none of the three cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage were affected, which clearly shows that the fake Chu Jiang's control over the Void World has a limit.

Suppressing the three Nascent Soul cultivators was already his limit; now he is at his weakest.

With Su Yuan's roar, Tai Bai Tianji, Ling Li Sword Immortal, Lian Yao Zhenjun, Zhu Qingqing and her grandmaster rushed out immediately, like arrows released from a bow, attacking the fake Chu Jiang from different angles!
The mere steps of the four Nascent Soul cultivators overturned the entire grotto, exposing the battle that would determine the fate of the Void World to the sun.

Faced with the four Nascent Soul cultivators who were coming at him with great force, the fake Chu Jiang did not panic at all. He stood there calmly and did not move.

Just as the attacks of the four Nascent Soul cultivators were about to hit the fake Chu Jiang, an astonishing change occurred.

Whether it was the swords of Tai Baiji and Fairy Lingli, the beasts controlled by the Demon Refining True Lord, or Zhu Qingqing's grandmaster, they all missed their targets!
Even though the enemy was right in front of them, their attacks grazed past the enemy's body, making it look like they were throwing the match.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuan's face turned solemn.

"Is it some kind of illusion technique that can distort a target's perception and ability to locate enemies to a certain extent?"

"As expected of the shadow of the Supreme Void Heavenly Lord, even with only a wisp of his remaining will, the illusion techniques he has mastered are beyond the reach of even a Nascent Soul cultivator." "However, he can't completely annihilate his true form, can he? How will he deal with area-of-effect attacks?"

As Su Yuan's mind raced, the four Nascent Soul cultivators also made the same decisions as him.

"Ten thousand swords return to the clan!"

The couple combined their swords, unleashing a sword intent that soared into the sky and rapidly spread to the Reincarnation Netherworld, the Purple Gold Dragon Domain, and the Star River Dao Domain, influencing sword cultivators worldwide.

The next second, almost all the flying swords in the Void World surged toward this side.

In the blink of an eye, a dark cloud composed of all sorts of flying swords descended upon the fake Chu Jiang like a tidal wave!
"Oh? What a pair of thieves! They actually stole all the swords in the world. No wonder they are the demons under the command of Old Demon Su."

Looking at the rain of swords falling from the sky, the fake Chu Jiang sighed from the bottom of his heart.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was engulfed by a dense swarm of flying swords.

"Slave Spirit!"

At the same time, the Demon Refining True Monarch gave a deep shout, and an aura belonging to the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons surged out, locking onto the demon races of the whole world with the ten thousand demons raised within the Demon Refining Sect as the center.

Apart from a few powerful demons with Nascent Soul cultivation who could resist, the rest of the demon race were affected by the Slave Spirit effect.

Immediately afterwards, nearly one-tenth of their bloodline power was extracted, transforming into a scarlet torrent that surged into the body of the Demon Refining True Monarch.

After the bloodlines of birds, beasts, and scaled insects of the demon race converged into his body, this Demon Refining True Monarch, who originally had no demon race characteristics, began to rapidly expand and change his body.

The advantages of various demon races manifested in his body, causing his physique to transform into a perfect form.

Gradually, a majestic behemoth, hundreds of feet long, with a dragon's tail, phoenix wings, and four thick legs, appeared on the battlefield, seemingly a fusion of the images of a dragon, phoenix, and qilin.

Before this colossal beast, hundreds of feet long and tens of feet tall at the shoulders, the mountains seemed insignificant.

Zhu Tianqing looked up at her father's current appearance, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Transforming the bloodline of the demon race...to protect the human race, good...good method."

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, who was tightly bound by the Heavenly Lock, managed to break free of some of the restraints and offered his comments.

"How many protected animals have you harmed in one fell swoop? With your actions, the potential of the entire demon race in the Taixu World will decrease."

"It's a good thing there are no animal protection agencies here, otherwise you would have been locked up for hundreds of years."

The fake Chu Jiang weaved through the endless rain of swords, pointing at the Demon Refining True Monarch and complaining.

The Demon Refining True Monarch didn't waste any more words with him. He opened his mouth, which was full of sharp fangs, and spat out a mouthful of true fire that had fused with the essence of all the fire-path demon bloodlines, instantly engulfing the fake Chu Jiang.

The rain of swords swept across the mountains, leveling one after another.

The demonic fire raged, drying up the great rivers and lakes within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and the ground swept directly by the demonic fire turned into lava lakes in an instant.

However, even with such a huge attack range, the fake Chu Jiang still seemed to be handling it with ease, hurling insults while dodging every attack he could find.

"Hey, go easy on me! Borrowing swords, using demon knights, and destroying the natural environment—I feel like my reputation is going to plummet even further if this keeps up..."

Su Yuan, who was watching the battle from afar, was stunned by what he saw.

The story of the heroes risking their own safety to gather intelligence for the hero in order to find the Demon King's weakness is certainly a very touching one.

But...aren't you guys being a bit too destructive?

Is this truly a ally of justice, or some kind of demon king's army officer?
Su Yuan couldn't help but look at Chu Lanxi:

"What's wrong with your shadow? Why is it so hard to kill? It hasn't even broken a single skin yet?"

Chu Lanxi said with a smile:
"Because he turned the negative consequences of his injury into an illusion and eliminated them, leaving only the reality that he had dodged all attacks."

Su Yuan was astonished: "Is this really possible?"

Chu Lanxi: "Of course, the Illusion Path is very powerful. It can transform one path into ten thousand paths. Otherwise, why do you think I'm still alive and standing here talking to you?"

Su Yuan remained silent for a moment before asking helplessly:

"So how exactly do we defeat your shadow? By brute force?"

Chu Lanxi nodded:
“That’s right, we’ll wear him down until he can no longer use his illusionary divine abilities. I have no other good ideas.”

The two communicated without needing to hide anything from anyone, and their conversation was clearly heard by everyone.

Since there's no shortcut to eliminate the fake Chu Jiang, there's nothing more to say; we just have to grit our teeth and beat him hard.

So, Zhu Qingqing took action!
"Hehe! Behold my army of millions of puppets!"

"Boss, please remember my contribution! You must take my physical body and my master's master out with you!"

With a wave of her hand, Zhu Qingqing unleashed an almost endless stream of human puppets from her storage magic treasure.

In the blink of an eye, an army of tens of millions of puppets spread across this land.

Su Yuan: "..."

This one is even more of a heavyweight!

Zhu Qingqing, you secretly ate your colleague's food, didn't you!
The total number of puppets at Zhu Yan Bai Gu Temple was less than five million, but in just over a month, the number doubled?
How many cultivators from the Ten Great Demonic Sects did you secretly kill?
