Capítulo 2337: Chapter 180: Illusory Realm

At that moment, the surrounding monks were suddenly enveloped in golden light, forcing back the approaching Innate Divine Demons and World Eaters.

The monks, as if unaware, brought their palms together and softly chanted:

“Supreme True Buddha… Welcome, Tianshang Buddha Lord!”

“It… It is the Tianshang Buddha Lord?!”

The Master of Quiet Cave stared in astonishment at the massive Reclining Buddha slowly sitting up, shrouded in shadow.

Meanwhile, a handsome cultivator in the distance suddenly changed his expression:

“Another Tianshang Buddha Lord?!”

“If this is the Tianshang Buddha Lord, then the one outside the Cloud Sky Realm… what is it?!”

…

Cloud Sky Realm.

The moment the Candle Dragon appeared, the surroundings of Wang Ba turned dark as night!

Like a massive abyss, it instantly engulfed this piece of heaven and earth.

Soundless, colorless, tasteless, odorless, without sensation or knowledge…

Anyone who falls into it finds nothing but a void except for their heart.

Yet, in the shared vision of the Candle Dragon, the surroundings in Wang Ba’s heart seemed as bright as day!

A total of twenty-three Bodhisattvas had summoned twenty top-grade Dao Treasures and three upper-grade Dao Treasures.

Among these twenty top-grade Dao Treasures, eight were hurled close, six halted mid-air, releasing different Divine Secret Skills, and six did not smash down but attacked from afar, whether through sword-light, binding, or suppression…

With far, middle, and close range all covered, there were attacks, bindings, scheming, and raw power…

Not to mention these Bodhisattvas had yet to unleash their own Secret Techniques, just the myriad top-grade Dao Treasures coming together could block all possibilities.

Even a late-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivator would flee in disarray, unwilling to directly face them.

Wang Ba was no different.

Even with the Land-Parting Staff, he dared not harbor any illusions of blocking these Dao Treasures.

Not only him, he believed even if Bai Lechan went personally, a direct confrontation would lead to certain death.

But solving problems isn’t always about brute force…

In an instant, the positions and trajectories of all Dao Treasures were reflected in his mind.

He hesitated not a moment, immediately activating the Silkworm Dragon Staff!

As the Silkworm Dragon Staff lit up, the Bodhisattvas, confused by the loss of sensation, suddenly saw a glimmer. Before they could think, they saw a cold-eyed figure in a blue robe, wielding a sheathed Dao Treasure, flying rapidly towards them!

Just recovering from the panic of lost sensation, upon regaining awareness, these Bodhisattvas were startled to see this ominous figure targeting them. Instinctively, they quickly redirected their Dao Treasures, either to rebound towards the enemy or rapidly shield themselves!

Bam!

The Dao Treasure easily struck the blue-robed figure, only to discover that it was merely an afterimage. The true figure had already retreated swiftly, and before the Bodhisattva could breathe a sigh of relief, a sudden alarm blared in his heart!

In his senses, something suddenly became clearer!

He reacted quickly; as the warning arose, he hurriedly redirected his Dao Treasure, but it was ultimately a step too late!

Bang—

A sharp pain pierced his brow.

This pain seemed to shatter something in a flash.

His vision subtly changed!

The blue-robed figure, supposedly repelled by the Dao Treasure, now stood not far in front of him, with a calm expression, and a faint glimmer was visible on the sheathed sword in his hand.

He vaguely realized something, but it was already too late.

Whoosh—

Sword-light pierced his forehead, shattering his physical body and Primordial Spirit. A deep sense of reluctance echoed in his mind:

“Just an Illusory Realm…”

All returned to dead silence.

Yet all of this was perceived entirely differently by the purple-robed youth shielded by a Buddha bowl and a grand Dao Treasure not far away.

He only saw those more than twenty Bodhisattvas join forces to encircle him. This number of people already accounted for one-third of all the Bodhisattvas in the entire Cloud Sky Realm.

Not only that, these Bodhisattvas also began to wield over twenty Dao Treasures, which seemed about to crash towards him, but at that moment, darkness shrouded all, and his perception suddenly disappeared!

Almost simultaneously, the darkness dissipated again.

However, what followed was a bizarre scene beyond words. For some reason, the Dao Treasures wielded by these Bodhisattvas suddenly reversed direction, either suddenly exploding towards the void or guarding themselves warily!

There were even two who, seeing Wang Ba attack, mobilized their Dao Treasures, but inexplicably struck the void, without making any defense against the approaching Wang Ba.

Only when they were killed did they seem to finally become aware.

A near-catastrophe that could have claimed their lives suddenly vanished into thin air!

The purple-robed youth was both shocked and delighted, simultaneously realizing:

“It’s an Illusory Realm! He is also skilled in Illusions!”

Creating an Illusory Realm is not difficult, but to influence an Illusory Realm to the level of a Bodhisattva is as hard as climbing to heaven.

This is because Cultivators at this realm, despite their varying Cultivation Bases and magical combat abilities, are invariably sensitive and perceptive; even a slight discrepancy would make it impossible to deceive them.

Therefore, unless set within an immortal cave or a Formation, attempting to defeat an opponent through illusions in magical combat could only bully the younger ones at best.

Wang Ba put away the sword sheath Dao Treasure, neither wasting time nor resting, his figure quickly changing direction. Before these Bodhisattvas were fully awakened, he infused immortal power, and the sword sheath Dao Treasure rapidly slashed.

In a flash of lightning and spark, two more Bodhisattvas who had successfully overcome their inner fears were shattered in their Golden Body by Wang Ba, but he did not retract his move. The Sword Qi continued to wrench apart the Bodhisattvas’ bodies, leaving them in a tragic death!

He was naturally unaware of how shocked Bai Lechan was, and even if he knew, he did not intend to explain.

The refining progress of the Silkworm Dragon Staff was slow, and he was far from being able to fully utilize its effects, so relying on a single Silkworm Dragon Staff to construct an Illusory Realm to deceive the perceptive Bodhisattvas was unlikely. He also considered this point, thus coming up with a strategy to deliberately use the Candle Dragon to control the Bodhisattvas’ perceptions around him.

Whether Cultivator or monk, they rely on perception to detect an opponent’s every move. This is what all Cultivators depend on, but once targeted, it becomes a fatal weakness.

Without perception, Cultivators or monks instinctively prepare for dangers from the outside world. Once perception is restored, their first response is to guard against changes from the outside, thus ignoring subtle differences in perception.

He precisely utilized this subtle gap, implanting the influence of the Silkworm Dragon Staff on ‘awareness’ into these monks’ perception.

Falsely creating the illusion of him attacking, yet this was precisely what these Bodhisattvas expected in their hearts, so not only did they fail to notice the discord, but it intensified their internal fears, leading them to instantly recall their Dao Treasures.

Among them were also some Bodhisattvas who, despite the fear, managed to overcome inner cowardice and timely maneuvered the Dao Treasures to counterattack.

Unfortunately, the illusion continued to take root in their fear, and they still could not perceive the subtle anomalies in perception, ultimately falling into the trap Wang Ba had weaved, unable to extricate themselves.

“Fools! This is an Illusory Realm!”

“Use Telepathy to counter it!”

From afar, the Southern Great Bodhisattva who witnessed this but was hindered and unable to come forward angrily repelled the Cloud Sky Realm Cultivator yet was entangled again by the opponent, shouted out furiously.

Upon hearing the Southern Great Bodhisattva’s reminder, the Bodhisattvas around Wang Ba finally awoke!

With a flicker of their gaze, they instantly broke free from the Illusory Realm.

Noticing the four suspended, horrific corpses left seemingly deliberately for them to see, terror filled their hearts!

“This was just a moment ago…”

An inexplicable, immense terror surged in their hearts!

They knew they could counter with Telepathy, yet the interval between losing and regaining perception was so brief that they hadn’t reacted before falling into the Illusory Realm.

This was precisely the time gap Wang Ba exploited.

Immediately, they connected through Telepathy, so all their perceptions differed, and with a moment’s comparison, they could easily discern the Illusory Realm set up by the foe.

Wang Ba, observing, remained calm.

Having planted seeds of fear in these Bodhisattvas’ hearts, control was no longer in their hands.

In the next instant.

The Candle Dragon closed its eyes again!

The sky darkened!

He was going to kill!
