Chapter 568: Chapter 569: 3000 Illusions (Second Update)

Hong Yu made his move.

With a thunderous palm strike, countless black mists suddenly appeared around the moment it was executed.

This black mist was not mere demonic intent but something even more sinister and evil.

As the black mist enveloped them, the palm struck forth, causing countless onlookers to feel a chill in their hearts as if they had fallen into immense fear.

"Purgatory Demon Palm!"

As the palm was executed, Bai Xuan’s face changed beside Chu Fengmian and she said,

"This is Hong Yu’s ultimate technique. It is said that he once had a great adventure in the Void Sea, where he learned the Purgatory Demon Technique. This technique even surpasses the capabilities of the Eternal Demon Domain, terrifying to the extreme. Once executed, it inflicts endless agony, tormenting the victim to death!"

The Purgatory Demon Palm, once it hit a martial artist, would cause boundless suffering.

This suffering alone was enough to cause many martial artists with unstable minds to die in excruciating pain.

The agony from the Purgatory Demon Technique was not just physical but also spiritual, and even saints could not withstand it.

"You brat, prepare to endure endless pain. I will make you wish for life in vain and yearn for death you cannot have!" Hong Yu sneered viciously, planning to completely torture Chu Fengmian with the Purgatory Demon Technique.

"Arrogant with your trifling demon technique in my presence?" Chu Fengmian looked at Hong Yu’s incoming palm strike, his expression as calm as could be.

"Such a minor demon technique, break for me!"

"Roar!"

Chu Fengmian uttered a word indifferently, and a dragon’s roar thundered forth.

In this dragon’s roar, imbued with the essence of the ancient War Dragon’s Might, the power of an ancient war dragon that suppressed all that was sinister.

The Purgatory Demon Technique could not escape being suppressed.

Although the Purgatory Demon Technique was fierce, it stood no chance before Chu Fengmian’s War Dragon’s Might.

Under the roar of the dragon,

Hong Yu’s Purgatory Demon Technique, the palm condensed, instantly dissipated, and all its power was neutralized.

All the surrounding martial artists who were watching were taken aback.

When Hong Yu made his move, he showed no mercy at all, employing his full strength and even using the Purgatory Demon Technique.

This strike was at least meant to kill Chu Fengmian.

The Purgatory Demon Palm, among the divine power realm martial artists in the Void Sea, could be blocked by less than ten people, and even those who blocked it paid a great price.

To dispel the power of the Purgatory Demon Palm with a single uttered word was unheard of and unseen before.

"Who exactly is this person? He first defeated Ouyang Lie, extracting Ouyang Lie’s saintly essence, and now he seems able to contend with Hong Yu!"

"We in the North Domain have never heard of such an individual."

"To be able to contend with Hong Yu, this person’s strength is indeed terrifying."

"But the fact that he can dissolve Hong Yu’s Purgatory Demon Technique is not so much a sign of how strong he is, but that his Cultivation Technique incidentally counteracts the Purgatory Demon Technique, allowing him to resolve it so easily."

"Let’s see, Hong Yu’s strength is not so simple, and even without the Purgatory Demon Technique, he still stands as a prominent figure in the Heavenly Covenant."

This brief engagement sparked numerous discussions.

As a significant figure of the Heavenly Covenant, it was rare for Hong Yu to take action, and to think that he had been fended off by Chu Fengmian surprised everyone.

But no one was optimistic about Chu Fengmian’s chances; Hong Yu’s power was far from as simple as it appeared. Even if the Purgatory Demon Technique was countered, Hong Yu was still an extremely formidable figure without using it.

In everyone’s eyes, how many moves Chu Fengmian could withstand from Hong Yu was the question.

"Dragon clan martial arts?"

Hong Yu realized in an instant, as he watched his Purgatory Demon Technique dissipate.

Indeed, this dragon clan martial arts technique was extremely effective against all infernal magics.

His Purgatory Demon Technique naturally found itself suppressed when faced with this dragon clan martial arts technique, left without room to maneuver.

Chu Fengmian looked at Hong Yu and shook his head, seemingly filled with contempt in his gaze.

"Is this the extent of the Alliance of Heaven’s strength? If so, it’s rather disappointing."

"How presumptuous!"

Hong Yu, hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, let out a fierce roar, his tone brimming with murderous intent.

"Boy, it seems you have indeed encountered some fortune, but you are ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth. So what if you understand a bit of dragon clan martial arts? Without using the Purgatory Demon Technique, you’re nothing but an ant in my presence!"

"Soldiers!"

From Hong Yu’s hand, a pitch-black staff suddenly materialized.

When this black staff appeared, it surged forth out of nowhere, smashing towards Chu Fengmian.

This blow, although seemingly simple, split into myriad splits, transforming into three thousand illusionary shadows.

Each shadow was intangible yet tangible, confounding anyone trying to discern whether they were real or fake.

"Three Thousand Illusions! Hong Yu’s Soldier Dao! To think he reached this stage, these three thousand shadows, each half real and half illusory, any could be the true one! To withstand it, one must block all three thousand shadows!"

The crowd was surprised by Hong Yu’s tactic.

This move was indeed immensely powerful. Unless all three thousand shadows were blocked simultaneously, one would be ensnared in a siege.

In such a high-level confrontation, falling into a disadvantage was tantamount to a catastrophe without redemption, hardly a chance to turn the tables, only relentless defeat.

"Boy, you’ve enraged me, and now you’ll pay the price for my wrath! Die!"

Hong Yu roared savagely, and the three thousand black staff illusions fell all at once.

"Three Thousand Illusions? Daring to spout such nonsense, laughable!"

Chu Fengmian stepped forward, facing the onslaught of three thousand black staff illusions without dodging or evading, directly meeting the attack head-on.

"What is he trying to do?"

"Could he be planning to withstand the Three Thousand Illusions head-on?"

"This man is courting death! It’s difficult to escape from three thousand illusions, let alone directly resist them. How could he possibly withstand three thousand alone!"

Faced with the three thousand illusions, most would think only to flee.

To face the fewest illusions and fight back.

Such blatant direct resistance was like the act of a madman.

Even Elder Li furrowed his brows.

He was aware of the power of Hong Yu’s Three Thousand Illusions; the most powerful aspect was a direct hit.

Directly contending with the Three Thousand Illusions.

A martial artist in the Divine Power realm.

Would die without a doubt!

"Sword!"

Just as the crowd looked at Chu Fengmian, fearing he would be pulverized by the Three Thousand Illusions any moment,

Chu Fengmian softly called out, and a sword formed of Sword Intent materialized in his hand.

"Ten Thousand Layers of Sword!"

As Chu Fengmian’s sword edge descended, the sword qi forcefully exploded forth in that instant.
