The powerful Spirit filled the entire area, enveloping Wang Long and Shunshen as well.
Wang Long had been fighting against the Human Emperor for some time and was familiar with his strength. However, feeling the overwhelming power of his Spirit now still left him astonished.
It seemed that although the Human Emperor had entered the divine realm later than himself, his improvement in strength was not inferior to Wang Long's!
Shunshen frowned and looked around. He sensed that something in the surroundings had changed, especially the Spiritual Essence within the Primordial Energy, but he could not discern how the Human Emperor was influencing them.
As the Spirit radiated outwards, it brought with it a chilling atmosphere.
The Wind Elemental Power gathered but did not take the form of wind blades; instead, it flowed gently like a soft breeze brushing against the face. Yet with each wave of light wind, there was an unsettling feeling of impending death creeping into Shunshen's heart.
Suddenly! The Human Emperor's figure vanished from sight!
Not only was Shunshen bewildered by this, but even Wang Long looked on in shock, completely unable to understand how it had happened.
This was certainly not like Shunshen's astonishing ability to manipulate space as if it were a toy; however, its miraculous nature was no less impressive than Shunshen's.
Shunshen's situation was no better than Wang Long's. Originally, he should have been stronger than both the Human Emperor and Wang Long. However, his Spiritual Awareness was being controlled by this illusion, resulting in a certain degree of weakening both in essence and power. At this moment, his sensing ability was only about on par with Wang Long's.
In a moment of desperation, he still had a countermeasure. Shunshen spread his hands, forming an invisible web of Primordial Power around himself. No matter how fast the Human Emperor was, unless he could teleport directly between two spatial points like Shunshen could, he would first have to disrupt this web of Primordial Energy that Shunshen had laid down, allowing Shunshen to determine his direction and position of attack!
"Smart!" With the help of sensing this web of Primordial Power, although Wang Long could not sense as directly as Shunshen could, he could generally pinpoint the Human Emperor's location.
In an astonishing flash of speed, the Human Emperor appeared behind Shunshen and struck out with a powerful palm that resembled a giant claw of Spiritual Essence reaching for Shunshen.
"Vanishing without a trace!" Given his current strength, Shunshen might not gain any advantage; however, if he intended primarily to evade anyone's attack, no one could truly harm him.
Just as the claw of Spiritual Essence from the Human Emperor approached, Shunshen suddenly disappeared from his original spot!
The powerful Spiritual Essence struck the empty space, causing the entire illusion to tremble slightly before regaining its balance.
"It seems you were a bit too impulsive, weren't you?" Wang Long glanced around at the situation and said with a wry smile, "Don't forget, he is in the dark while we are in the light. Even if we manage to push him back for a moment, with his divine abilities, he can attack us whenever he feels like it. Meanwhile, we have to be on guard against him at all times. How can we move forward like this? Not to mention that neither of us is familiar with this place. If we accidentally step into a trap, whether we can handle it is another matter, but we will definitely face a powerful strike from Shunshen! Or do you still have confidence that you can withstand his full-force attack at any moment, Human Emperor?"
"I didn't know Dragon Lord had become so timid. If he really has such confidence, then let him take action. If I, Human Emperor, can't even deal with a half-mad person, then I might as well tuck my tail between my legs and roll back to the mortal realm."
"Wind Dance!" Human Emperor waved his hand casually, and a barrier of wind energy appeared around him and Wang Long.
Wang Long was taken aback. Did he really think such a wind barrier could withstand Shunshen's attacks? Not to mention that with such a large barrier, Shunshen might find a way to slip inside for a sneak attack.
But he quickly came to his senses. Wang Long did not point out Human Emperor's intention; given their relationship, witnessing the clash between these two powerful beings was also a good option for him. After all, with their combined strength, even if Shunshen's mind was confused, it was unlikely he could pose a real threat to them. After all, his own strength had also been diminished.
At that time, he believed that whatever powerful moves Human Emperor had would surely be revealed, which would be beneficial for their future battles.
The scenery of the illusion constantly retreated as they advanced. Although Wang Long and Human Emperor were unfamiliar with the environment here, they had already followed Shunshen for quite some distance. Just from their direction alone, they could make sufficient judgments.
—Although they had no idea what they would encounter by continuing down this path.
If it were someone else in such an environment, they would probably not need Shunshen to launch any actual attacks; just the immense pressure alone could cause an ordinary person to crumble.
Suddenly, an unusual light flashed directly in front of them—neither gold nor red—just like the moonlight reflecting off a cold pool, exuding a refreshing aura that made one feel cool at heart. From just the sensation of this unusual light, Wang Long knew that whatever was there was not an ordinary item; under this light's illumination, their resistance against this illusion increased significantly, and they were no longer disturbed by external evil or inner demons.
Wang Long and Human Emperor exchanged glances and simultaneously quickened their pace towards the front.
Boom!
At that moment, an extremely strong vibration suddenly occurred, intense enough to shake the entire illusion.
This move caught both Wang Long and Human Emperor completely off guard.
In their minds, whether it was the potential hidden threat of Shunshen or any other means, they thought it would only involve the two of them. However, they never expected this guy to actually manipulate the entire illusion.
"That's not right!" Wang Long barely steadied his mind and was the first to deny their current thoughts. "This illusion is extremely powerful, one of the treasures of the divine race. If he wanted to act from within, even with Shunshen's power, it would be impossible to cause such a significant disturbance. Unless he has rushed outside to attack the Illusion Stone as a whole. But if that's the case, he would have broken free from the control of the illusion. How could he possibly engage in such a reckless act?"
"If that's the case... could it be that those experts from the Third Realm have already discovered what's outside? They might be trying to break through the defenses beyond the wall of illusion. We need to be more cautious when we go out. If we get entangled with their people without sufficient support, in a place where they are unfamiliar, we are most likely to be worn down and killed!"
Not to mention that they might still encounter those disgusting Toxic Corpses at the exit; they could very well end up being exhausted here!
"Let's grab the divine sword first!" Wang Long decisively rushed toward the direction of the divine sword.
This time, it did not catch them off guard. At that moment, a shadow suddenly flashed in mid-air and attacked Wang Long from behind.
In this final moment, Shunshen finally reappeared.
Wang Long turned around and struck with his palm against Shunshen's, simultaneously creating an opportunity for a pincer attack on the Human Emperor!
However!
Wang Long felt a chill in his heart; at this moment, there was no longer any trace of the Human Emperor in his position, nor did he appear behind Shunshen!
