Chapter 249 The Light of Illusion
Before the mental shockwaves from the [Eye of Domination] had completely subsided, the sweet pink mist in the air surged and changed color violently, like an enraged swarm of bees, transforming from an ambiguous pink into a venomous dark purple.
Sopersis's voice, filled with shame and coldness, seemed to still echo in the pass, but her figure had completely blended into the ever-changing mist.
The next moment, the scenery around Lin Tian and Celia underwent a dramatic change.
The pass, the cliff, the ground... everything is like a reflection of a stone thrown into water, distorted, broken, and then reassembled.
They seemed to be instantly pulled into a bizarre dream, or rather, a meticulously woven nightmare.
【Thousand Illusions and Shadows Realm】—Open!
Countless Superses appeared out of thin air, filling their field of vision.
They were dressed in different styles, each with their own unique charm:
Some were dressed in light gauze, their bodies partially hidden, their eyes filled with captivating charm, and their lips parted slightly to emit seductive sounds that made one's blood boil.
Some looked pitiful, with tears welling up in their eyes, like innocent girls who had been bullied and were sobbing softly, seeking shelter.
Others are aloof and noble, like ice queens, their eyes disdainful, carrying an alluring, almost condescending quality...
These illusions were not static; they surged toward Lin Tian from all directions like a tide.
Their movements appear slow and alluring, but in reality, they contain unpredictable and elusive techniques.
Even more frightening is that these illusions are not only extremely visually deceptive,
When they approach, they also emit invisible and intangible spiritual ripples.
Like fine needles, it continuously probed and disturbed Lin Tian and Celia's mental world.
They attempted to provoke their inner desires, pity, fear, and other emotions, thereby undermining their fighting spirit and creating fatal weaknesses.
Superses' true form was perfectly hidden among these hundreds and thousands of illusions, his aura merging with each one like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, making him indistinguishable.
She was like the most patient hunter, waiting for the moment when her prey showed signs of fatigue or vulnerability under the torment of illusions, before launching a thunderous strike.
"A trivial skill."
Faced with this terrifying illusionary domain, powerful enough to cause even ordinary hero-level experts to lose their minds or even suffer mental breakdowns, Lin Tian's expression remained completely unchanged.
He didn't even waste his mental energy trying to distinguish which one was the real body—under this level of illusion, any judgment based on conventional perception could be misled.
He chose the most direct, domineering, and absolutely restrained approach.
The Light of True Vision – Begin!
Suddenly, a pure white light burst forth from Lin Tian's eyes, as if it could pierce through all the illusions of the world!
This light was not a strong light in the physical sense, but a probing force at the level of rules. Centered on him, it spread out in all directions like mercury spilling onto the ground in an instant!
Wherever the light passed, the scene was like a painting thrown into a raging fire, beginning to twist, burn, and collapse violently!
Those charming, pitiful, and noble illusions of Sopersis, the moment they were illuminated by this pure white light, were like beautiful painted skins splashed with sulfuric acid, emitting a silent yet sharp shriek that pierced the very essence of their souls!
Their graceful figures quickly twisted and faded, like ice and snow under the sun, dissipating and melting at a visible speed, eventually turning into wisps of dark purple smoke that were completely annihilated in the air.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the hundreds of illusions that filled the field of vision and disturbed the mind were swept away by the [Light of True Sight]!
The entire distorted illusionary domain collapsed like a punctured balloon after a violent tremor, and the surrounding scenery returned to the original gloom and deathly silence of the pass, with only a much thinner dark purple mist still lingering.
In a seemingly empty corner where the light swept across, Superses' true form was forced to reveal itself!
The playful and composed expression that had been on her face vanished completely, replaced by an unprecedented, almost stunned, astonishment and disbelief.
Her deep golden eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't understand why her proud [Thousand Illusions Phantom Domain], which had once captivated countless powerful individuals, was so easily defeated by the opponent's seemingly ordinary detection skill, even its true form concealment was instantly broken!
The tactics were instantly crushed; Superses, after all, was a battle-hardened abyssal witch, and her reaction was astonishingly fast.
After the initial shock of her true form being exposed, almost instinctively, she abruptly opened her alluring lips—
No sound came out, but an extremely sharp and highly condensed mental shockwave, like an invisible poisonous sting, suddenly erupted from her center!
[A Soul's Howl!]
This attack ignores all physical defenses and conventional energy shields, directly targeting the depths of the target's soul, intending to cause intense soul pain, mental dizziness, and even mental confusion!
Celia, standing to Lin Tian's side and behind, was the first to be hit. She groaned, her face turned pale instantly, her body swayed uncontrollably, and her eyes became briefly unfocused.
This soul-piercing attack is particularly damaging to succubi, who are also skilled in mental power.
However, Lin Tian, the primary target, only paused slightly when faced with this vicious soul attack. Not even a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, which had just extinguished the [True Sight], and he instantly regained absolute clarity and coldness!
With an intelligence attribute of over 700,000, it brings not only devastating magical attack power, but also an unfathomable spiritual foundation and resilience, like the vast starry sky!
These kinds of control and mental interference effects have extremely high natural resistance, so for Lin Tian, Superses's [Soul Howl], which is enough to kill an ordinary lord, is just a slightly stronger breeze.
Almost at the same instant the resistance succeeded, and without giving Superses any time to think about the next tactic, Lin Tian made his move!
[Star Leap]!
A burst of starlight flashed around him, and he seemed to transform into a fleeting stream of light that transcended the limits of visual perception, ignoring the tens of meters of distance between the two of them, as if space had lost its meaning before him.
In a fraction of a second, his figure appeared like a ghost directly in front of Subses, whose mental energy was fluctuating violently due to the full-force use of [Soul Howl], causing his body to stiffen for an extremely short time!
At such close range, Lin Tian could even clearly see his own cold and ruthless face reflected in Superses's golden eyes.
And the look on her face—still reeling from the shock of [Soul Howl] being ineffective, compounded by the horror and disorientation of the enemy getting close—was striking.
No nonsense, no warnings.
Lin Tian didn't even swing the Star Devouring Staff in his hand; instead, the dark core at the tip of the staff suddenly aimed at Supersis, who was right in front of him.
Arcane Explosion – Unleash it at point-blank range, right in your face!
Boom! ...
The purple arcane energy, raging to the extreme, erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years at the tip of the staff—almost right in front of Superses's stunningly beautiful face!
A terrifying arcane torrent instantly engulfed her figure!
"puff--!"
Superses didn't even have time to let out a proper scream; he only managed to spit out a mouthful of purple blood containing pure magical energy.
The seemingly magnificent protective magic surrounding her shattered like paper under the impact of this destructive energy at point-blank range.
She was blasted backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the hard rock wall behind her with a dull thud.
When she slid to the ground in a disheveled state, her beautiful clothes were charred and torn, revealing her burned skin underneath.
Her once meticulously combed long black hair was now disheveled, stained with dust and purple bloodstains.
That face, which was once so alluring, now showed only pain, horror, and unprecedented disarray.
In just one exchange, their tactics were completely broken, their proud mental attacks were ineffective, and they were even approached by the opponent at an unbelievable speed, suffering heavy damage!
Superses leaned against the rock wall, breathing heavily, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Lin Tian.
She finally realized that the man in front of her not only possessed overwhelming power, but also fought with a swift and decisive style, without any hesitation, and his grasp of timing was terrifying.
All his tricks seemed so laughable and pale in the face of the opponent's absolute strength and insight.
An overwhelming urge to retreat began to grow wildly in her heart for the first time.
Lin Tian remained calmly standing in place, as if his lightning-fast counterattack was merely a casual gesture.
He verified the absolute counter to high-level illusions with [True Sight], and also reaffirmed his own strong resistance to mental attacks.
He maintained firm control over the rhythm of the battle from beginning to end.
Sopersis has fallen into an absolute and desperate disadvantage.
