Chapter 810 - 464: Is It All an Illusion Realm?

Giant Spirit Immortal’s belly deflated, indicating that he had successfully absorbed and completed the Refinement of the poison mist he had just inhaled. His current condition made it look like nothing had happened to him at all.

No, Giant Spirit Immortal’s condition was actually better than before. He was clearly more energized, as if the poison mist was merely an appetizer that paved the way for his main course.

"I heard that Zou Feng is a Poison Cultivator?" Energized, Giant Spirit Immortal became more talkative. "To me, a Poison Cultivator is nothing more than pre-marinated meat ready for the slaughter!"

With just a few large strides, Giant Spirit Immortal stepped out of the poison mist zone and arrived at the plaza in front of the main hall.

"Xuanwu Palace?"

Looking up, he was somewhat surprised by the three large characters inscribed above the main hall’s doors. After all, this place was clearly an ancient ruin; logically, it shouldn’t have been crowned with such a name. That boy Zou Feng probably changed it himself after coming here.

While Giant Spirit Immortal was puzzling over this, the interwoven melody of several musical instruments suddenly rang out. At the same time, the Five Poison Demon Dance Troupe, led by Zhu Caiwei, made a dazzling entrance. The moment they appeared, they cranked their eccentric energy up to the max and danced madly.

Perhaps because he had inhaled too much of the poison mist earlier, Giant Spirit Immortal not only found the melody pleasing to the ear but also felt that the five Poison Demons’ dance was quite agreeable to watch. If he didn’t have pressing business to attend to, he really would have wanted to sit down and enjoy the performance.

But for now, he could only wave his massive hand and bellow, "Scram!"

Though seemingly casual, the resulting Qi Force from his wave was terrifying. Like an invisible giant hand, it slapped forward viciously. However, the Xuanwu Poison Domain had already taken shape. How could it be broken so easily? Thus, even though Giant Spirit Immortal threw out a slap, he ended up hitting absolutely nothing.

"An illusion?!"

Seeing his slap hit empty air and his Power vanish without a trace—failing to affect the five Poison Demons as they continued to dance—Giant Spirit Immortal naturally realized what was happening.

"Obviously. You only just realized it’s an illusion?" Guanghan Fairy stared at the brute, utterly speechless.

Hearing this, Giant Spirit Immortal felt his pride take a hit. He shouldn’t have been so slow to react. He could only blame it on inhaling too much poison mist earlier, which must have impaired his normal judgment.

Blood Shadow Yama interjected, "This Poison Domain the boy conjured up seems to have some substance to it. We shouldn’t be careless..."

Giant Spirit Immortal scoffed coldly and abruptly quickened his pace. Having just lost face, he was naturally a bit humiliated and enraged. In the next moment, he leaped high into the air before crashing heavily into the ground at blinding speed.

BOOM!

Had this move, War Trample, been used on an ordinary palace, the structure would have long been leveled to the ground. But a building associated with an Ancient Holy Beast naturally possessed extraordinary durability. Although more than half of the stone slabs in the plaza had shattered, the surrounding structures showed no signs of collapsing. And the illusion of the five Poison Demons dancing still hadn’t vanished.

Seeing this, Giant Spirit Immortal didn’t bother wrestling with the illusions anymore and simply kicked open the doors to the main hall.

Inside the main hall, aside from dozens of pillars, there were no other furnishings. At the far end, a man was dancing alone. To Giant Spirit Immortal, this man’s posture and movements were even more eye-catching than the dance of the five Poison Demons earlier.

But it was still just an illusion. Giant Spirit Immortal only glanced at it a few times before ignoring it. He strode to the end of the hall, smashed through the wall, and continued forward.

Behind the main hall was a long corridor. On both sides lay gardens that were long desolate and ruined, completely stripped of any flowers or grass. As he passed through the corridor, highly Piercing singing voices continuously drifted over, causing even Giant Spirit Immortal to feel a surge of irritation.

At the end of the corridor, they could finally see their target for this trip—Zou Feng, sitting upright on a Lotus Platform. However, Zou Feng currently had his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to the arrival of the three uninvited guests.

"Zou Feng, you call yourself a Child of Fortune, yet you still don’t know that these flashy parlor tricks are completely useless?"

Before his voice could fade, Giant Spirit Immortal suddenly stomped his foot. A blade-like shockwave blasted toward Zou Feng’s Lotus Platform in the blink of an eye.

Yet, in the very next moment, the crisp sound of shattering glass rang out. Everything around them rapidly began to blur, like a heavy ink painting splashed with water.

By the time the three Tribulation Cultivators could see clearly again, they were completely astounded to find that they had returned to the initial area filled with poison mist.

Or rather, had they never managed to walk out of it in the first place?

At this, even Guanghan Fairy was left speechless in a daze. She had been the first to see through the people they encountered as illusions. But thinking about it now, it wasn’t just the people who appeared—everything around them had actually been an illusion!

"I’m afraid this isn’t some Poison Domain, but an incredibly advanced Illusion Realm!" Guanghan Fairy’s brows were deeply furrowed, the previous composure in her eyes completely gone.

Just a moment ago, the three of them had kept saying they shouldn’t be careless. But in reality, as Nascent Soul Old Monsters moving out together, the only real difficulty they anticipated was preventing Zou Feng from escaping. Who would have thought they would encounter such a bizarre Illusion Realm instead? The mere fact that this Illusion Realm could bewitch them so imperceptibly was enough to warrant high alert.

Seeing Guanghan Fairy and Giant Spirit Immortal looking somewhat stumped, Blood Shadow Yama suddenly let out a series of eerie chuckles.

"Who cares if it’s a Poison Domain or an Illusion Realm? It’s nothing more than a Golden Core Realm method. Since you two are reluctant to make the first move, I shall take the vanguard!"

Before he even finished speaking, massive swathes of Blood Shadows surged from his body like a tidal wave, dyeing everything around them blood-red.
