Chapter 233 Ch 233: Illusory Predators
In the vast expanse of the black and white desert, Ye Xiao’s figure could be seen moving steadily onward.
It had been two years since he entered this colorless world, and during this period, he had faced countless dangers that tested his mettle. Each challenge had been a trial of survival that took a lot of his wits and courage to pass. Each challenge was filled with danger that could have taken Ye Xiao’s life.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao had many tricks up his sleeves so he was able to come back as a victor every time.
With each new danger that arose, Ye Xiao had summoned his strength and resourcefulness to deal with them. Whether it was evading the jaws of a terrifying deserter chaos beast or navigating the treacherous terrain, he had met each obstacle head-on. The black and white desert had proved to be an unforgiving landscape, where the unexpected lurked around every corner.
Through sheer determination and a keen understanding of his surroundings, Ye Xiao had managed to overcome every peril. His encounters had not only tested his battle prowess but also honed his strategic thinking. With each successful escape, he gained a deeper understanding of the world around him.
Amidst the challenges, Ye Xiao also discovered hidden benefits. These rewards had come in various forms – from rare herbs that enhanced his vitality to ancient scrolls that imparted profound insights. He also obtained a few rare fruits that benefitted him in his cultivation.
Each discovery contributed to his growth, allowing his cultivation to soar from the Early Stage of Major Saint Realm to the Mid Stage.
The experiences of these two years had shaped Ye Xiao into a more formidable warrior. His movements were more fluid, his instincts sharper, and his resilience unwavering. The battles he had fought had pushed him to the brink, forcing him to tap into his full potential in order to survive.
Yet, the journey was far from over. The black and white desert still held mysteries yet to be uncovered. Ye Xiao continued his exploration, his eyes scanning the horizon for any signs of danger or opportunity. He was now a warrior forged in the crucible of adversity.
As he walked, memories of his battles and triumphs flashed before him. Each encounter had been a stepping stone, propelling him forward on his path of growth and enlightenment. The challenges he had faced had not only tested his physical limits but had also deepened his understanding of his own abilities.
With each passing day, Ye Xiao’s resolve grew stronger. He knew that the black and white desert held more challenges, and so he has more dangers to overcome. But he was not deterred. Armed with wisdom and an unyielding spirit, he continued pressing on, ready to face whatever trials awaited him.
The journey had been arduous, but it had also been transformative. Ye Xiao had evolved from a determined warrior into a battle-hardened survivor. The scars of his encounters served as a reminder of his strength and resilience. And as he continued to walk, each step was a testament to his unwavering commitment to forge his own path in this black and white world.
The black and white desert stretched on, its secrets waiting to be unraveled. With his heart set on the horizon, Ye Xiao moved forward, ready to embrace any challenges that lay ahead.
In these two years, neither Ye Xiao contacted the Lotus of Chaos nor the Lotus of Chaos contacted him. It was as if both had a tacit understanding. Ye Xiao wanted to deal with every danger himself, and the Lotus of Chaos wanted Ye Xiao to grow as quickly as he could. And these dangers that he is facing in this colorless desert were definitely the best way for Ye Xiao’s quick growth.
As Ye Xiao continued his journey through the black and white desert, he suddenly stopped.
“I just…”
Ye Xiao frowned. He just felt something, but the next moment, everything seemed too illusory.
He could not understand what he had just sensed. .𝘦𝘵
Just as Ye Xiao was puzzled, his eyes widened in shock. It is because a new danger has emerged in front of him. This new danger was Illusory Predators.
Yes, these were actually cunning chaos beasts that could create illusions that confused and misled their prey.
Suddenly, the surroundings shifted, and Ye Xiao found himself surrounded by mirages of fierce predators, ready to attack.
At first, Ye Xiao was disoriented by the illusions. The world around him seemed to twist and warp, distorting his perception. He blinked, trying to separate reality from deception, but the line between the two blurred. His heart raced as he realized he couldn’t trust his senses. He couldn’t distinguish between reality and deception by normal means.
Eyes of Insight…
Ye Xiao was about to use his Eyes of Insight, but at this moment, the Lotus of Chaos reacted. It spoke after two years, telling Ye Xiao, “Don’t. Don’t use the Eyes of Insight. Remember your experiences in this space, use your instinct for guidance.”
Ye Xiao was stunned but then he nodded his head. He no longer tried to use the Eyes of Insight, instead, he focused his mind. In order to overcome this threat, he had to trust his instincts and his experiences.
With a deep breath, Ye Xiao raised his guard and prepared for battle.
The Illusory Predators lunged at him from all angles, their phantom forms making it hard to pinpoint their true location. But Ye Xiao was not about to be overwhelmed.
“I won’t fall for your tricks!” Ye Xiao muttered. His voice echoed in the colorless landscape.
Ye Xiao’s fists became his weapons, and he unleashed the power of the Three Forms of Land Turning Seal.
“First Form, Land Seal”
His strikes were precise and powerful, shattering the illusions around him. The shockwaves of his attacks disrupted the deceptive mirages, revealing the true nature of the threat.
As the Illusory Predators regrouped, Ye Xiao’s determination blazed even brighter. He channeled the might of <Second Form, Great Land Seal>, his fists crashing down like thunderbolts. The ground trembled beneath the force of his blows, and the illusions wavered in the face of his relentless assault.
But the Illusory Predators were resilient. They retaliated with even more convincing illusions, creating a disorienting maze of deceit. Ye Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing as he analyzed the shifting landscape.
“I won’t let little illusions beat me!” Ye Xiao snorted coldly, his voice filled with resolve.
With unwavering focus, Ye Xiao tapped into the devastating power of the Third Form of the Land Turning Seal.
“Land Turning Seal!”
His fists blurred as he unleashed a whirlwind of energy, tearing through the illusions with sheer force. This attack also contained Ye Xiao’s understanding of the Dark Force. And this caused the very fabric of the colorless world to twist under the impact of his attack.
However, this world was created by the previous King of Chaos. How could it be that easy to shatter a world like this?
The battle raged on, each strike a testament to Ye Xiao’s determination and skill. He dodged and countered, his movements fluid and calculated.
“I can see through your illusions!”
Ye Xiao snorted. His fists blazed with energy as he shattered mirage after mirage.
Gradually, the illusions began to weaken, their hold over the battlefield diminishing. Ye Xiao’s persistence was paying off, his unwavering spirit breaking through the deceptive veil. With a final, mighty blow, he dispelled the last illusion, leaving only the defeated forms of the Illusory Predators.
Breathing heavily, Ye Xiao stood amidst the aftermath of the battle. The black and white desert had been the stage for his triumph, a witness to his ability to overcome even the most cunning of foes.
With a satisfied smile, Ye Xiao finally looked at the illusory predators that were also looking at him in return.
Previously, all Ye Xiao did was break the illusions created by these beasts. And now, it was time to take care of them.
With a deep breath, Ye Xiao launched a fierce counterattack against the Illusory Predators. His fists became a blur of motion as he struck out with precision and power. Each blow was aimed at the heart of chaos beasts, killing them one by one.
As his fists connected with the beasts, the beasts’ bodies exploded and they died. The black and white desert around him shifted and wavered. Ye Xiao’s relentless assault was paying off, and victory seemed within reach.
Knowing that they might die, the Chaos Beasts also retaliated, but Ye Xiao dodged and weaved, his movements graceful and calculated.
With a swift uppercut, he killed a Chaos Beast that had been closing in on him.
The Chaos Beasts fought back, their attacks becoming more desperate as their numbers dwindled. But Ye Xiao was unyielding, his focus unwavering. He could see through their tricks now, anticipating their every move.
Finally, with a powerful strike, Ye Xiao landed a blow that instantly killed the remaining Chaos Beasts.
The battlefield fell silent, the once-threatening predators reduced to nothing more than fading echoes.
However, before he could even catch his breath completely, Ye Xiao’s gaze fell on an oasis not far away.
