The sky was no longer the familiar scarlet, but a constantly changing and bizarre color, sometimes with glaciers hanging upside down, sometimes with lava surging into the sky. The figures of comrades-in-arms shattered and reformed before my eyes, and the whispers of the dead and the cries of children echoed in my ears.
"Keep your mind calm; all that you see is illusion, all that you hear is false!"
Master Jinghui's voice came through the mech's built-in communication system. His mech, Vajra Subduing Demons, emitted a gentle Buddhist light, like a lighthouse in a storm, barely illuminating the environment within dozens of meters around the team.
But outside the realm of light, it remains a chaotic nightmare.
"Damn it, I saw my brother again. He was clearly already..."
Erica's voice was choked with sobs and anger. The muzzle of Storm Shark's gun shook violently, almost pointing at the illusory figure that was beckoning to her.
"Erica, that's fake. Use the mech's life essence detector to calibrate it. Don't think about those things."
Mo Cheng's voice rang out as his Star Mech sped through the ruins, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, his twin pistols firing at the real, spiky eels that were charging at him under the cover of illusion.
He can't tell the difference between reality and illusion anymore. He was caught off guard and attacked directly, so Mo Cheng can only attack the illusions while keeping an eye out for teammates.
"Master, have you found that guy's true form? If this continues, we'll go insane before we're even killed."
High above, the White Night Chaser, amidst the flying snow, is like a cold, solid rock, hidden beneath optical camouflage.
Her eagle-like glasses were operating at full capacity, filtering out layers of illusions and interference.
"It keeps moving... The source of the mental fluctuations is like a reflection in the water, difficult to pinpoint. Master Jinghui, could you expand the purification area further?"
"I will do my best."
Jinghui's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue. The range of the Buddha's light expanded slightly, but ripples immediately appeared at the edges, fiercely resisting Huan Tong's spiritual power, clearly indicating that she was struggling to hold on.
Just then, Huan Tong's ethereal and eerie singing voice once again invaded everyone's minds.
This time, it carried a deeper malice:
"The real blade... pierces the illusory enemy... beloved faces... wither in your hands... what a beautiful drama..."
First Form - Diva Form... Deep in the Dream.
Chapter 297 You Kneel Down Before Me
"How can you be so sure that what you are right now is real?"
The illusion suddenly escalated.
It's not a simple change in the environment, but an attack that directly targets the most vulnerable parts of each person's heart.
Mo Cheng saw Fei Xue's mecha being pierced by countless vines and reached out to him for help.
Erica sees her former lighthouse companions covered in blood and berates her for surviving.
Even within the Buddha's light of pure wisdom, the phantom images of his long-deceased fellow disciples faintly appeared, chanting demonic scriptures and disturbing his meditation.
The team's formation instantly fell into chaos, and everyone lost their focus, except for Boss Bai.
It's time to wake up, everyone!
Bai Yuekui's clear, cold voice, like an icy spring, cut through all the noise. Her Pure Candle remained still, its Yin-Yang pivot, an energy core resembling a Tai Chi diagram on its chest, spinning at an unprecedented speed, radiating a hazy glow.
"Wings of Return to Origin, unfold!"
The potential of the source material has been unleashed!!
boom!
Four phoenix tail feather-shaped energy wings fully unfurled behind the Pure Candle, and sacred and vast life essence burned like white flames on her mecha.
Bai Yuekui spared no expense, using his own primal power as fuel to push the mecha's perception and purification capabilities to their limits.
"What you were looking for before were all illusions; this is your true form."
Bai Yuekui's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his Guiyuan Wings suddenly flapped, transforming his figure into a pure white meteor that tore through the illusion, heading straight for a distorted void in the distance that seemed to be empty.
"Its true form is hidden in that spatial fold. Master Jinghui, help me... break through the illusion!"
"Amitabha, Vajra wrathful eyes, Prajnaparamita, ah ba ah ba..."
Master Jinghui chanted the Buddha's name, and the Vajra Subduing Demon Mech's Buddha light suddenly intensified, transforming into a solid golden pillar of light that struck the direction Bai Yuekui pointed, like a demon-subduing pestle.
The Buddha's light collided with the folds of space, producing a crisp sound like shattering glass.
The illusion in that area of space peeled away like a shattered mirror, revealing a slender figure covered in smooth white jade armor, with only one face and a huge, seven-colored single eye.
This is the true form of the Illusionary Eye!
She seemed somewhat surprised, her enormous single eye turning towards Bai Yuekui, revealing a hint of anthropomorphic astonishment, "Human, you actually managed to find me?"
"Cover Boss Bai!"
Mo Cheng was the first to react. Suppressing the pain in his heart, he unleashed the full power of the Hive Tactical Shoulder Cannon on the back of his Star Mech, releasing high-explosive and electromagnetic pulse rounds to block Huan Tong's retreat.
Feixue's calm voice came through, and the electromagnetic railgun emitted a deep charging sound. "Weakness analysis: three meters below the center of the single eye, the energy convergence point, is continuously emitting special energy."
Erica unleashed the full power of the Storm Shark: "You trying to play tricks? Try this, it'll blow you to bits, you ostrich!"
Faced with the onslaught of the crowd, Huan Tong simply raised her arm, which was as white as a carved piece of jade.
"Ignorance...do you think that by forcing out the true form, you can touch the truth?"
Her tone was laced with sarcasm: "Can you really tell the difference between truth and falsehood?"
The second form, the Thousand-Eyed Demon form, interferes with reality.
That elegant figure shattered instantly, and beneath the white jade shell, many eyes of varying sizes, filled with madness and malice, suddenly opened wide.
The entire body became slender, like a bizarre collection of eyeballs.
The enormous single eye on its face had transformed into pure, pitch-black darkness, seemingly capable of swallowing all light, with a slowly rotating vortex at its center. This form could no longer be considered humanoid.
Her aura surged instantly, climbing from the late stage of the seventh rank to the critical point of the peak of the seventh rank.
"Real-world projection, a myriad of weapons!"
Countless eyes flashed simultaneously around them, and the next moment, countless energy weapons gleaming with a cold light materialized out of thin air in front of Mo Cheng, Erica, and Fei Xue's mechs.
Swords, spears, halberds... these weapons are not illusions, but contain real and undeniable destructive power, as if wielded by an invisible army, raining down upon them in an overwhelming barrage.
"how is this possible?"
Mo Cheng exclaimed in alarm as his Hive missiles were intercepted and detonated in mid-air by these energy weapons that appeared out of nowhere.
Are these weapons real?
Feixue dodged quickly, and an energy spear grazed past her sniper rifle, leaving a clear dent.
"The laws of physics have been distorted?"
Master Jinghui's Vajra Subduing Demon Mech stood at the forefront, its Buddha-light shield trembling violently as it withstood attacks far exceeding those before.
The true form of the Illusionary Eye, its enormous, jet-black single eye, coldly locked onto the advancing White Moon Clan.
"Soul Tsunami!"
All eyes were simultaneously fixed on Bai Yuekui.
It wasn't a single wave, but hundreds or even thousands of invisible mental shockwaves, like countless red-hot iron needles, traversing space and directly piercing Boss Bai's core soul.
This is a terrifying attack capable of instantly shattering the soul of an ordinary seventh-tier expert.
Bai Yuekui's forward momentum suddenly halted, and the white flames around Jingzhuhao flickered and dimmed.
"cough!"
Beneath the mask, she let out a muffled groan as a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.
The Yin-Yang Pivot was operating wildly, and the speed at which the Returning Origin Wings absorbed and purified Mana energy could no longer keep up with the terrifying mental erosion.
"Benefactor Bai!"
Master Jinghui shouted anxiously, immediately diverting his attention to provide assistance.
"leave me alone!"
Bai Yuekui's voice was resolute, "Maintain the purification field to protect others. The opponent's ability range is limited. If I'm not mistaken, their main body's defense is at its weakest."
Despite enduring a piercing scream capable of tearing apart the soul, she accelerated once more, activating a time-accelerated dash.
Although the light on the Returning Origin Wings dimmed, it became even more concentrated, with all the energy gathering in the energy blade in his hand.
The blade trembled, emitting an extremely high-frequency hum, and the surrounding illusions and energy weapons were silently annihilated as they approached.
"Your tricks...it's time to end!"
Bai Yuekui merged with his sword, transforming into a white rainbow that pierced through reality and illusion. Ignoring all attacks, real and illusory, he gathered the life essence collected and transformed by the mecha, and concentrated his will and power into a sword that surpassed the limits, bursting forth at extreme speed to pierce the Phantom Eye, that huge, spinning, dark single eye.
What was the final outcome?
To be continued...
Dog: Woof woof woof woof.
Reader: I'll smash your head in.
……
The 3th battlefield.
The land is no longer what it used to be, only crisscrossing deep valleys and surging waves of mud remain.
"Hold on, we absolutely cannot let it cross the line."
Seng's roar echoed through the communication channel, his Arbiter mech standing like an ancient reef, its massive composite shield firmly blocking the way.
The energy honeycomb force field on the shield's surface flickers erratically, bursting forth with blinding light with each impact.
On the other side of the shield stood the Ripper, a being as powerful as a demon god.
Just standing there, with its muscles bulging beneath its thick, dark red bone armor, its six arms swung around with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the air.
Even before it has fully revealed its form, it launches an attack using only the purest physical force, which would be unbearable for most seventh-tier powerhouses.
"Roar!"
With a roar, the Ripper's two middle arms clenched into fists and slammed into Seng's shield like a meteor.
"boom!"
A visible circular shockwave spread out, and Sengge's Arbiter mech sank deep into the ground, carving two deep trenches tens of meters long behind it, almost destroying the mech.
