Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 196 The Illusionist's Practical Application

Brolin looked at the invitation in his hand, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Bai Yang killed a squad of Brolin's, and after the investigation, he naturally found out.

Now that the Lord of Time has announced that he will take Bai Yang as his disciple, Luo has even sent an invitation to the royal family.

Although he was a disciple in name only, the level of importance attached to him was clearly extraordinary.

"We still have to go; we, as royalty, must observe proper etiquette."

In order to leave a good impression on his father, the emperor, Brolin decided to "endure humiliation and bear the burden".

-

"Brolin has accepted the invitation."

Xing Shou informed Bai Yang in his ear.

He was currently in the cultivation room, closing his eyes to nurture and refine his sharpness.

For the past ten days or so, he has only done this one thing, even putting aside his comprehension of the laws.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your work; once you're more in sync with your divine weapon, comprehending the fundamental laws and secret patterns will be much easier.

Hearing Xing Shou's words, Bai Yang smiled slightly:

"This guy really does 'consider the big picture.' Just like I thought, otherwise he wouldn't be the most powerful prince."

"But he gained nothing in this interdimensional world, so he must hate you a lot, right?"

"Hmph! He almost killed you and so many people from Three Axes Mountain! How dare he show his face here!"

Star Guardian didn't quite understand.

"This kind of person has no shame. But since he's come up to us, it would be unreasonable for us not to fight him."

Bai Yang got up and stretched. Duan Mingfeng's condition had been adjusted, and he could start actual combat from now on.

Teacher Luo needs to go into seclusion to break through a bottleneck; it's nothing serious, and he won't be coming out at all.

His daily training was entrusted to Jiang Tianchen, one of the top five realm lords in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Region.

Bai Yang sent a message to Jiang Tianchen, who told him to go directly to his virtual address to find him.

In a magnificent manor, Bai Yang looked at the person in front of him.

Jiang Tianchen has a lightning mark between his eyebrows, and lightning flashes when his eyes are closed.

He is a realm lord recognized by the fundamental laws of lightning, which is truly exceptional in a place like Black Dragon Mountain.

Jiang Tianchen glanced at Bai Yang and said:

"I am also a martial artist. Although I do not know the laws of light, I can make you stronger using the methods of a martial artist."

Your biggest goal right now is the Cosmic Genius Battle, which means you're destined to face countless geniuses of all types.

For us martial artists, the most troublesome opponent is the mentalist.

We're now entering the killing field. You've asked me to enter "spectator mode" so I can see your battle in detail.

The opponent is a level 9, constant-star individual, who will first fight 500 different illusionists, and then 500 controllers.

Bai Yang nodded in agreement, saying that although Tianchen had asked for many opponents, they were all at their current stage.

A battle between a martial artist and a mentalist can last only a few seconds, with each having the ability to instantly kill the other.

He is currently at the fourth level of the Hengxing realm and has not encountered many illusionists.

There aren't many schools of thought in this area, but it can be quite troublesome if you encounter a skilled opponent.

The killing field is a scene entirely composed of desert.

After Bai Yang chose his opponent, a white-robed cultivator with red eyes and greenish-blue skin immediately appeared on the other side.

As soon as it appeared, it gave Bai Yang a "fierce" look.

Bai Yang immediately felt that the surrounding scenery had changed; he had gone from the original desert to a deep seabed.

Most martial artists have strong wills and can withstand the impact of an opponent's mental energy.

However, many martial artists fall for illusions once they are trapped in them.

Illusionists can also attack with telekinetic weapons, making them almost completely vulnerable to attack.

Bai Yang sensed his surroundings and found that both the scenery and the water pressure were simulated perfectly.

At first glance, he couldn't find any flaws and couldn't tell where the other party was at all.

Suddenly, a mental shock pierced his brain from a certain direction.

Bai Yang's consciousness flickered slightly, and the seventh level of the Spiritual Embryo activated on its own!

In his mind, an egg-shaped gestational follicle was gradually taking shape.

Faced with this external mental shock, he swallowed it without hesitation, treating it as his own nourishment.

Bai Yang withstood the attack without feeling any discomfort.

He thus determined the other party's location, and immediately used a quick step to rush in front of the other party!

Once you reach a certain distance, even if you can't see the other person.

Bai Yang was also able to scan the opponent's location and status with his mental power, and Duan Mingfeng made a move instantly!

He cleaved the illusionist's body in two at the waist!

The illusion and the virtual space shattered simultaneously.

From Tianchen's perspective, it appeared as if Bai Yang was standing still, his head swaying slightly.

Then suddenly he spotted the other party and killed him with a single sword strike.

With the speed of thought and action of a star-level expert, the entire process took less than half a second.

"You have a very good secret technique for soul defense?"

"And you yourself possess psychic powers, yet you chose the path of a martial artist?"

Jiang Tianchen immediately asked.

"Yes, it happened by chance. I prefer being a martial artist."

Bai Yang replied.

The truth is, this world ultimately depends on the body's genetic level. He'll be a martial artist sooner or later anyway, so he's too lazy to go through all that trouble.

"Your willpower is not bad either. An ordinary illusionist like this is no match for you."

Hearing that Bai Yang had firmly chosen the path of a martial artist, Jiang Tianchen seemed to be in a good mood, and his tone became more relaxed.

"Then raise the level. Illusionists who can maintain the illusion and launch mental attacks are too weak. Raise them to the point where they can launch psychic weapons at the same time."

Bai Yang nodded in agreement and immediately began the second round.

It was still that same desert, and even the enemy's appearance hadn't changed.

But this time, Bai Yang instantly fell into an illusion, and the surrounding scenery became a certain asteroid belt.

He stood on an asteroid, surrounded by countless shattered stars hurtling towards him.

The visuals, sound, and textures are all incredibly realistic, which immediately increases the difficulty.

Bai Yang had to dodge, because every attack could be real.

"In virtual space, physical sensory abilities cannot be used!"

That's a huge disadvantage.

He kept moving, constantly trying to find a weakness in his opponent.

Fortunately, his mastery of the laws and his movement techniques were both at an extremely high level.

With just a little effort from the soles of your feet, you can move hundreds of meters out of thin air.

As for maneuvering and leaping within a small space, that's no challenge for him.

Ultimately, the opponent couldn't simulate a barrage-level attack; that would be too fake and would expose their deception.

In fact, if Bai Yang wanted to, he could use his mental power to cover a large area and scan the other party's location.

However, in a true battle of cosmic geniuses, even the level of telekinesis is limited.

As a martial artist, his mental strength could never surpass that of those genius-level mental masters.

Let's just not use this method and get used to it sooner rather than later.

The area of ​​the arena is ultimately limited, so Bai Yang deliberately adopted the same area as the Cosmic Genius Battle, which is thirty kilometers in radius.

Within a minute, he finally found the illusionist and killed him with a single sword strike.

"Let's just change the controller," Jiang Tianchen said.
