Chapter 643: Chapter 633: Mirage!

Shi Feng and Di Sha were descending toward the purple jungle below when, just as their figures were about to reach the purple jungle, it abruptly disappeared before their eyes.

What had seemed to be an endless expanse of purple jungle transformed in an instant into a colossal purple Fierce Beast, as big as a small mountain, with its ferocious and enormous mouth wide open, waiting for Shi Feng and Di Sha to fall right into it!

Upon seeing the purple Fierce Beast, Shi Feng and Di Sha abruptly halted their descent!

"Roar!" Di Sha immediately let out an angry roar, followed by a furious punch hurled violently downward!

A gigantic black shadow of a fist, as big as a mountain, burst forth from Di Sha’s hand and plummeted toward the purple Fierce Beast below!

But just then, as the enormous black shadow was about to smash into the purple Fierce Beast, the beast vanished without a trace, as if it had never been there at all.

With a "boom," the giant black shadow of the fist crashed down onto the vast, endless ground, causing a resounding blast. Under the Power of Martial Emperor wielded by Di Sha, the ground trembled violently, as if a fierce earthquake had occurred.

As the vast land stopped shaking, Shi Feng and Di Sha’s gazes were fixed upon the ground below, where the giant purple Fierce Beast had disappeared, and the boundless purple jungle had also vanished completely.

"What is this all about!" With his punch striking air, the huge purple Fierce Beast nowhere to be seen, Di Sha cried out, filled with confusion.

Shi Feng’s brow was also furrowed, as he stared at the vast land below, quietly murmuring, "Could all of that have been an illusion? Then is this land also an illusion?"

"It’s the power of a Mirage!" At that moment, the Sacred Flame within Shi Feng spoke up.

"A Mirage?" Hearing the word from the Sacred Flame, Shi Feng was startled. A Mirage, associated with the legendary mirage building, was an Ancient Fierce Beast skilled in Illusion Techniques. Indeed, during the Ancient Period, the Illusion Technique of the Ancient Fierce Beast Mirage was considered the foremost in the world!

In the previous space, the Martial Arts Sky Tower had conjured an Evil Dragon, so seeing a Mirage from the same ancient era manifested on this eighth level was not surprising.

But the question was, how to break through this eighth level? Was he supposed to seek out that Mirage and defeat it?

However, finding that Mirage, renowned as the best in illusionary arts during the Ancient Period, was easier said than done—let alone defeating it.

"Unfortunately, my current Soul Power is only at the Eighth-stage Saint Realm, and just now, I couldn’t discern the reality of either the purple jungle or the purple Fierce Beast. If my Soul Power reached the Emperor Level, perhaps I could detect some clues," Shi Feng sighed.

"Master, look!" At that moment, Di Sha called out to Shi Feng and pointed ahead with his pitch-black hand.

Following the direction of Di Sha’s finger, Shi Feng saw that on the distant land, which had previously been empty, there now appeared a palace made of white jade, emitting a soft white glow and looking sacred and pure.

"Another Illusion Technique of the Mirage!" Shi Feng stated confidently. Was the Mirage trying to lure him over there? But this young master won’t do as it wishes!

Then, Shi Feng indicated to Di Sha to head in the opposite direction of the white jade palace, saying, "Let’s go that way!"

Hearing Shi Feng’s words and seeing the direction pointed out by his hand, which was like any other area with nothing but the vast, endless land, Di Sha asked Shi Feng in confusion, "Master, aren’t we going over there?"

Di Sha pointed toward the direction of the white jade palace and continued, "Look at that palace; there must be some kind of treasured item there!"

"Treasured item?" After hearing Di Sha’s words, Shi Feng’s mouth curled into a cold smile and said,

"There is no treasure there, only traps that have been laid out to lure us over like prey! Remember, in this world, not everything you see is necessarily real! That includes this void, this land, and perhaps even you and me when the time comes—none of it may be true."

"Ah?" Di Sha replied, his face showing confusion, not quite understanding.

Seeing that Di Sha didn’t understand, Shi Feng impatiently said, "I’ve made myself perfectly clear, yet you still don’t get it. Living for a thousand years, yet you might as well have lived as a dog. Forget it, just do as I say, no more questions! Let’s go!"

After finishing those words, Shi Feng flew off in the previously indicated direction, leaving a furious Di Sha behind in the same spot of the void, "This person!"

Di Sha clenched his fists tightly, "This person! How audacious! He dares to speak of me in such a manner, to insult me! He even says I’ve lived like a dog!"

If it were not for the master-servant contract that bound him now, perhaps Di Sha would have already slapped Shi Feng.

Shi Feng had flown some distance through the void when he saw that Di Sha had not followed, and abruptly turned his head to address Di Sha, cold-faced, from not too far away, "What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you hear what I said? Have you gone deaf?"

Shi Feng’s attitude was abrasive, as if he were chastizing a servant.

"Crack!" The powerful, self-proclaimed noble Di Sha heard Shi Feng’s reprimanding words and clenched his fists even tighter, the bones in his hands making a "crack" sound, anger seeming to be on the verge of erupting at any moment.

However, Di Sha soon swallowed his rage, knowing that if he were to lash out in anger at such a person, there would be no good outcome.

What wouldn’t such a person do?

This had always been Di Sha’s assessment of Shi Feng!

"Master, I’ll be right there!" After holding back his anger, Di Sha still responded respectfully to Shi Feng.

"Hurry up, if you don’t protect me well and I perish here, how will you bear the responsibility?" Shi Feng urged, noticeably annoyed.

Di Sha moved quickly, soaring toward Shi Feng, thinking to himself, "What I’d most like to see right now, is watching you die here."

When Di Sha arrived, Shi Feng looked at him, a frown forming as he said, "Looking at you now, with such displeasure, are you perhaps thinking you’d most like to see me dead here?"

Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Di Sha immediately shuddered, "No way! Does this member of the Human Clan have the ability to read minds?"

Even though Shi Feng had entered into a master-servant contract with him, such a contract only allowed control by the master and couldn’t reveal his inner thoughts.

Nevertheless, Di Sha hastily explained to Shi Feng, "My master, how could I possibly? Now that you are my master, my loyalty to you is absolute!"
