CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 599: SWALLOWING THE IMMORTAL SLAG, BETA CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE

"Get lost!!"

Zhang Yu bellowed, the figure that had just been knocked down suddenly leaping up with force.

The surging Gang Qi mixed with the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill burst out from his body, transforming into golden flames that wrapped around him, instantly shattering Kuang Tianqing before his eyes, dispersing the figure into thin air.

Yet, in Zhang Yu’s eyes, Kuang Tianqing’s figure kept appearing and disappearing around him.

One moment, his naked eye could capture the opponent, but the next, the eye could no longer see her; instead, only his sense could detect the opponent’s presence.

But when he struck out with a palm, the sweeping Gang Qi couldn’t prevent the opponent’s form from vanishing like a phantom before Zhang Yu.

"Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique..."

Detecting Kuang Tianqing’s presence and realizing his sensory perception was being deceived by an illusion, Zhang Yu’s mind immediately recalled the data on the military-level technique of Sky Demon University.

"The Heavenly Demon Illusion Body can distort the opponent’s perception, altering feelings in vision, touch, smell, space perception, and direction sense, among others."

"Kuang Tianqing must be using this military-level Taoist skill to deceive my senses."

"These phantoms aren’t all illusions; there’s definitely her real self amongst them."

"But with our distorted senses, it’s hard to differentiate, and even if we hit her... we may not feel or realize it."

"The key to this Taoist skill lies in the air; as long as you cut off air contact with the outside world and switch to internal breathing..."

Zhang Yu thought this way and acted on it, but he was soon startled to discover that even after entering a state of internal breathing, he still couldn’t prevent his perception from being continuously twisted.

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt a chill in his abdomen, as if an icy hand gently brushed against it.

"Did you see that?"

Kuang Tianqing’s voice came from behind him, a warm breath continuously brushing against his neck, something soft pressing against his back.

"Did you see that Bai Zhenzhen?"

"I’m going to rub him."

Zhang Yu shouted angrily, his Gang Qi surging again, shattering the opponent’s illusion yet unable to stop its reappearance.

And with every appearance, the phantom seemed to reach further down, as if Kuang Tianqing was always standing behind Zhang Yu, inching towards his vital area.

"Going to rub, going to rub, about to start rubbing!" Kuang Tianqing laughed heartily, "Did you see it clearly? Bai Zhenzhen! Your good friend is completely in my hands!"

Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes widened, staring intently at Kuang Tianqing’s figure, her eyes like autumn water, now blowing like a storm.

"Zhang Yu... is being compelled with force!"

If Zhang Yu truly volunteered to do such things, or charged for doing so, Bai Zhenzhen would have nothing to say.

Even before practicing the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, Bai Zhenzhen would have supported Zhang Yu in making money, to help his family, to cultivate... for instance, by watching the gate for someone, collecting money, holding down the fort, lending a hand.

Because this is the bright path, the Kunxu Righteous Path after all.

And even after practicing the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, if Zhang Yu wanted to walk the right path, Bai Zhenzhen wouldn’t stand in his way.

She only thought of changing herself, finding a new Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, hoping one day she could walk the right path without slowing down Zhang Yu’s pace of making money.

But now...

"No!"

The situation before them was Kuang Tianqing severely violating Zhang Yu’s will, to forcibly and freely devour Zhang Yu.

Regardless of the economic perspective, personal emotion, or the Sword Qi within her that was eager to move... all telling Bai Zhenzhen the same answer.

"Let go of him!"

Watching Kuang Tianqing hug Zhang Yu from behind, reaching down with her hand, Bai Zhenzhen roared in anger, crimson Sword Qi surging wildly, rapidly slashing towards Kuang Tianqing’s figure.

"Don’t touch him with your filthy hands!"

As the Sword Qi howled down, Kuang Tianqing’s figure shattered with a boom, tearing apart the earth for hundreds of meters behind.

Yet in the next moment, Kuang Tianqing appeared once more, licking the corner of her mouth and smiling, "Oh? So excited?"

"The power of your Sword Qi increased again?"

"Bai Zhenzhen, you haven’t played with him yourself, have you?"

"Then just watch closely, it’s I, Kuang Tianqing, who’ll take the first bite and devour this immortal scrap!"

In the fierce resistance from Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, Kuang Tianqing’s figure was constantly shattered, yet surfaced time and again.

And with each appearance, her seductive figure got closer to Zhang Yu’s vulnerable spot.

Although Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen tried numerous ways to break the illusion, it seemed that no matter what they did, they couldn’t interrupt what Kuang Tianqing intended to do next, unable to extricate themselves from the influence of the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body.

"Damn it!" Bai Zhenzhen roared angrily, the Sword Qi on her body growing ever redder, as if blood was about to seep out from it.

Zhang Yu only felt the flow of his blood and mana accelerating, seemingly being stirred by Kuang Tianqing.

"No... it can’t go on like this..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "All recorded methods to break the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body have been tried, but all have failed."

"Then there’s only one possibility... the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body has been updated."

"At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body has surpassed the intelligence recorded in our data."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu already sent a message to the other party: Azhen! Retreat!

Zhang Yu: Before figuring out how to break the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body, do not continue fighting Kuang Tianqing.

In the moment after the exchange was completed, the figures of the two flashed and had already shot out quickly.

Under the effect of the Spirit Root, the figures of the two dissipated together, as if their existence had been completely erased from between heaven and earth.

Kuang Tianqing, watching this scene, chuckled lightly, "Can you escape?"

...

Meanwhile.

Above the competition field.

The Divinity Transformation Principals of the ten universities each descended a divine light, converging here as they watched the fierce battle on the Floating Continent below.

The glow representing the Heavenly Calculation God Monarch vibrated slightly, and from within came the voice of this Wanfa University Principal: "Old Zizai, when did this Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique update? Why don’t I know?"

Within the divine light representing Sky Demon University, Zizai Divine Monarch chuckled lightly and said: "It’s a beta version, Kuang Tianqing joined the project update just in time, so he learned it by the way."

"If you’re not assured of the procedure, I can show you."

The Heavenly Calculation God Monarch said indifferently, "You really are scheming diligently for this first place."

Zizai Divine Monarch laughed: "It’s just the students causing chaos down there; we’re merely guiding the situation."

...

Accompanied by the howling wind and flying grass leaves, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen instantly moved over a thousand meters.

Yet during this rapid transfer, the two could consistently see Kuang Tianqing’s phantom repeatedly appearing, making it difficult to shake off.

Under the cover of the Spirit Root, their bodies were invisible.

But in Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s vision, they could see Kuang Tianqing grabbing Zhang Yu, chuckling, "Bai Zhenzhen, see it? She’ll respond in my hands soon!"

With a soft swoosh sound.

The scarlet Sword Qi brushed past, shattering Kuang Tianqing’s figure, startling Zhang Yu.

"No..." Zhang Yu thought to himself: "This Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique can distort perception extensively, unless we can escape the influence range of Kuang Tianqing in one breath, we cannot shake her off."

"And even with the Spirit Root’s concealment, the noise from rapid movement is too significant, easily allowing Kuang Tianqing to determine the approximate location, thereby employing the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique for extensive distortion of perception..."

"What to do?"

"How can we escape the influence of Kuang Tianqing’s illusion?!"

Just as Zhang Yu’s brain began to think intensely, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Yu Zi!"

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at Bai Zhenzhen, sensing where her gaze was focused, a chill suddenly gripped his heart.

Bai Zhenzhen’s body trembled slightly, unwilling and humiliated, she said, "Continuing like this, it won’t stop her from further humiliating you."

"She’s bit by bit consuming you."

"Once she truly completes Dual Cultivation with you, starting to extract your body, you will gradually lose all power to resist."

"Then there’s only one last way."

As the scarlet Sword Qi surged upward, Bai Zhenzhen said, "Yu Zi, don’t keep that part, thoroughly erase your weaknesses, don’t give Kuang Tianqing any opportunity!"

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn’t utter the words.

"Is this really the only way?"

"Damn, think faster! Think if there’s a way to break through this dilemma."

"What exactly should be done?!"

As Bai Zhenzhen walked step by step towards him, with each step her Sword Qi on her body surged several inches, Zhang Yu’s thought speed seemed to increase continually.

"Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique can’t possibly be flawless."

"There must be some way... but can I figure it out?"

"Damn, if my master were here, what would she do?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu’s heart suddenly trembled, he shouted, "Wait, Azhen."

At the same time, countless Artifact Refining design drawings flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind, he picked one with the ability to counteract illusion, abruptly activating the power of Heavenly Work Creation.

The next moment, in his mind countless bits of knowledge and memories belonging to either Zhang Yu or Magnetic Pole True Monarch emerged, continually correcting the design drawing, creating a new drawing in an instant.

"This is it!"

"The Magic Treasure design drawing I modified together with my master, capable of countering the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique!"

However, Zhang Yu knew, at this moment he didn’t have time to refine this Magic Treasure.

But looking at the contents of the design drawing, it could help Zhang Yu think of a way to counter the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique.

"Oh? Is this my master’s and mine’s research on the possible flaws of the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body Technique?"

The next moment, with a soft snap.

Zhang Yu had already grabbed Kuang Tianqing’s hand that was reaching down again.

This time, without phantom-like disappearance, Zhang Yu truly felt the other’s body, breaking through the distortion of senses.

With Kuang Tianqing’s surprised gaze staring at him, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Finally... got you!"
