Chapter 1458: Chapter 1051: Fiery Evil Demon Monarch

A head as large as a mountain stood there!

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment before responding, no, no, wrong! It wasn’t a "human" head. Rather, it was a gigantic skull of some unknown species. What had been mistaken for the summit of a mountain should have been a pair of majestic horns!

To be honest, although this exoskeleton equipment he had on was pieced together from various parts, it could still be called good stuff. Whether a beastman body, crab claw, or iron claw, when combined, its size was as large as, if not larger than, the demon beasts in the wilderness.

But even so, when he looked up, he still felt it was immensely huge. What kind of skull could this be?

God? Or maybe demon?

"It’s it!" The mutated skull’s resentful voice trembled with excitement, "Only such a majestic skull is worthy of you! Once you conquer it, and I merge with it into one, you will be invincible in the world!"

Jiang Yuan: ...

Your way with words is still as slick as ever.

However, being able to take this giant head as exoskeleton equipment would certainly be awesome! The problem is the head is way too big, and the current beastman body is too small. Can it carry that weight?

Moreover, the closer you get to such a large skull, the denser the pollution aura becomes. It looks more like the source of contamination from the remnants of war. How long would the ice flame need to burn to thoroughly purify it?

First, he unloaded the exoskeleton suit with one click and opened the map to ponder the current situation—without the mutated skull’s help, the avatars were obviously burdened by the illusion realm.

Qing Niao, Lark, and Shi Hu also had no news. They probably hadn’t cracked the first illusion upon entering;

His first disciple Wan Mingchuan might be able to crack it, but lacking defense, he could only send a message whenever he managed to handle the endless assault of illusions, while purifying the surrounding pollution aura...

Efficiency is too low!

And located among the remnants of war, whether pets or avatars, the summoning button was grayed out.

Jiang Yuan immediately adjusted the current strategy, asking Yan Xuan to take Bi Lingxiao to find other members of the Ancient Ten Great Sects.

They are just ordinary guests, and the favorability level is insufficient, so they cannot be summoned on the interface momentarily. Once Yan Xuan gathers everyone, they can proceed under the protection of the Divine Artifact to purify; retreat, they can return to the small courtyard.

He then granted his pet Xiao Bai the authority to oversee the dungeon and let him and Xie Chenyuan leave first.

Other contract-bound relationships that are closer and currently unreachable in the illusion realm will be summoned one by one as soon as he returns to the small courtyard.

"Whew! Brother, this war remnant is indeed formidable. The moment I entered, I sensed being in an illusion, but no matter how I tried, I couldn’t break free!" Qing Niao, summoned out, collapsed onto the ground and moaned, "I’m exhausted, and my heart is even more weary.

The key is that the illusion is so heart-wrenching, returning me to my previous life before reincarnation, as a Great Demon Cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm! Brother, do you know what it’s like to suffer pain with a clear mind? It’s heartache, agony."

Lark was even less composed, lying across her, wings drooping, sobbing, "Boo hoo, luckily it’s just an illusion, not reality. I actually returned to the past, to the time right after gaining intelligence, acting all silly. Thinking back now, being muddled every day was a sheer waste of life!"

Shi Hu’s expression was very conflicted, "Actually, my illusion was great, having anything I want, feasting and enjoying everywhere; even knowing it’s fake, I couldn’t resist the joy of indulgence!"

"In the illusion realm, I lived a life with He Miancun, reincarnated as a mundane couple in the mortal world." Huo Jun looked up at the sky, sighing silently, "Even knowing it’s fake, this could perhaps, barely, should be considered living till old together in this life, right?"

Avatars 1-8 remained silent, but from the memories they shared with the main body, classics like Sadako vs. Kayako, were instant horror film entries.

Jiang Yuan didn’t bother listening to their discussion about the illusion, directly asking, "Xiao Bai, with your ability, how many people can you protect from being attacked by the illusion realm? At the very least, ensure that upon initial entry into the war remnants, they won’t be deeply trapped without escape."

Bai Yunqi surveyed the surroundings and explained, "Earlier, Brother Xie and I always entered and exited the Flood Dragon Tomb together, forming a habit. When needing to work as partners, we moved forward hand in hand. Therefore, upon initial entry into the war remnants, everyone scattered, except for the two of us still together.

The method to crack the illusion is quite simple. After successfully performing the Walking Flood Dragon, I obtained a trace of dragon breath from heaven and earth, capable of independently dispelling illusion attacks formed by poison mist and pollution aura.

As long as everyone stays within the range of my main body’s care upon entry, it should be no problem."

"Excellent." Jiang Yuan gestured, "The pollution aura within the war remnants is indeed formidable, but our previous lack of experience caused everyone to be unable to utilize or unleash their strength upon entry.

This time, with Xiao Bai escorting us, we’ll enter together. Once he clears the illusion, we’ll be able to stretch our muscles and show our skills! Additionally, I found something interesting; if we coordinate well, we might even get to broaden our horizons."

Ling Di finally came to his senses and barked, "Broadening horizons? Master, don’t tell me, the illusions in the war remnants are just appetizers!"

His heart silently clicked his tongue, thinking no wonder even Celestial Realm Immortals couldn’t figure it out, these war remnants are too terrifying!

Recalling the illusions that seemed inescapable, Old Dog was still somewhat intimidated.

To be able to crack the illusion, possess combat abilities, and most crucially, know the Purification Technique—admittedly, the requirements are slightly high. Lacking any one, it seems difficult to ensure one’s own safety!
