Chapter 760: Illusion!
"Plop!"
Suddenly, a figure flew out horizontally from the entrance of the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Too old to sneak into the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, this is asking for trouble!"
A solemn voice echoed throughout the room, as someone tried to take advantage of the situation.
This person, despite being too old, also wanted to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly. They even snatched a registration token, thinking that would allow them to enter the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm. However, unexpectedly, they were directly blocked and expelled by the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm.
Watching as Su Yi's figure entered, Xi Wuqing's gaze remained fixed. He had no idea how far Su Yi would be able to go in the Saint Martial Assembly, a gathering of the most exceptional young talents in the entire Central Region. If Su Yi could actually make it to the top two and enter, what would it matter if he had made a promise to that kid?
...
Su Yi entered the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, where everywhere was shrouded in a hazy mist that obstructed vision and even affected spiritual power.
Soon, Su Yi and several members of Yutian Palace became separated. Upon entering the entrance of the boundless mist, many who had originally traveled together became scattered.
Perhaps after about half a moment, the mist before him gradually dissipated, and his vision became clearer. Su Yi emerged and surveyed the scene before him – endless mountains, towering and densely covered with trees, like an ancient forest rarely touched by human footsteps.
The tall trees pierced the sky, and ancient vines twisted and curved with strength. The visibility in the entire space was slightly dim, with a subtle difference from the outside world.
Some figures appeared in front of Su Yi. Although the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm was vast, upon entering, there were millions of people, an overwhelming number.
It is even said that the stronger a person's strength is, the more likely they are to be automatically separated within the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm.
Because the Sacred Mountain's five sects and three gates didn't want the stronger disciples to meet and fight early in the morning, as the consequences could be unimaginable.
After all, the disciples who were closer to the front were all people from Sacred Mountain and the five sects and three gates.
In front of him, Su Yi caught sight of a familiar figure. It was Liu Yunchuan from the Divine Sword School, standing ahead, observing something. He was surrounded by a radiant aura, exuding a strong and powerful presence. Soon, he swiftly moved forward.
"Swoosh..."
Many figures appeared around and swiftly moved away.
Su Yi, not in a hurry, observed his surroundings, quietly probing with his soul power. He sensed the aura around him, which seemed somewhat unusual, yet he couldn't grasp it fully.
This was the power of the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, Su Yi understood in his heart. However, he didn't quite comprehend the intricacies of the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm.
This made Su Yi slightly frustrated. It seemed that he would have to carefully comprehend the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm in the future. After all, he was a Soul Tamer himself. How could he afford to miss out on such techniques?
Soon, Su Yi's figure also darted forward cautiously, always being on guard against the dangers lurking around. It was said that within this place existed the perils of the Fantastic Gate Soul Realm, as well as some untamed demon beasts.
Su Yi was not afraid of those demon beasts. He believed that there would not be any excessively powerful ones inside. Otherwise, the people from the Sacred Mountain and the Five Sects and Three Schools would not dare to risk sending their disciples here.
The mountains stretched endlessly, and within them, speed would be greatly affected. After a moment, Su Yi could feel the consumption of his spiritual energy, which was several times higher than that in the outside world, even ten times higher. This invisibly impacted his speed significantly.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Roarrrr!"
In less than an hour, there came a muffled sound of energy from ahead. People were engaged in fierce combat, accompanied by astounding roars of beasts.
Soon, Su Yi encountered three young individuals, all of whom possessed cultivation levels nearing the Yuan Spirit Realm. However, they found themselves surrounded by a ferocious pack of at least a dozen demon beasts.
These dozen or so demon beasts were not of the same clan, and their cultivation levels were not particularly strong. However, they were still powerful enough to deal with the three young individuals, effectively surrounding them.
The three young individuals were covered in numerous wounds, with blood flowing from all over their bodies, and their faces were deathly pale.
Su Yi hesitated for a moment, then swiftly darted forward, emanating an invisible aura from his body.
"Roarrrr..."
The demon beast felt the aura emanating from Su Yi and inexplicably trembled with fear, its fierce eyes filled with unease.
"Let's go!"
Su Yi waved his hand, scolded the demon beast, and had no intention of resorting to violence.
Upon seeing this, more than ten demon beasts became flustered and hastily retreated, not daring to linger.
Upon seeing this, three young individuals covered in blood were shocked beyond words, finding it difficult to regain their composure. The fact that the young man could simply wave his hand and repel the demon beast left them absolutely astonished.
"It's Yi Su from the Overlord Sect!"
A young man recognized Su Yi and his eyes underwent a dramatic transformation, filled with awe and reverence.
"I want to help you, I just have a few questions to ask you."
Su Yi spoke, "The Sanctified Martial Secret Realm is a test, a competition for these formidable demon beasts. Although I am human by nature, after cultivating the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, I hold no hostile feelings towards them. I wish to save these three young individuals and simply inquire about some matters within the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm."
"No secrets shall be kept!"
The three young individuals bowed, still shaken and unsettled after surviving the calamity.
Afterward, Su Yi learned from these three individuals that all participants of the Saint Martial Assembly were scattered around the perimeter of the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm. The exit, however, lay at the center of the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm. Along the way, there were trials and challenges. Only the thirty-two individuals who could break free from the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm would be able to step foot onto the Sanctified Martial Platform of the Void. That would be the ultimate showdown and the true climax of the Saint Martial Assembly. freewebnoveℓ.com
Su Yi nodded, realizing that not only did he have to break free from the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm, but he also needed to do it swiftly, without any delay.
"Swoosh!"
With a swift movement of his foot, Su Yi, determined not to waste any more time, cautiously proceeded forward, hoping to avoid any unexpected situations.
"Hiss..."
Not long after, high up in the towering tree, a massive serpent the color of bronze suddenly slithered forth like a streak of lightning. Its jaws wide open, it lunged directly at Su Yi, ready to devour him.
The mighty serpent coiled itself upon the tree, resembling an ancient vine, motionless and silent, completely hidden from view. It was so inconspicuous that Su Yi didn't notice it beforehand.
Luckily, Su Yi's spiritual power was consistently emanating as he focused on attentively observing his surroundings.
Just as the mighty serpent made its slightest movement, Su Yi sensed it immediately. In an instant, his vitality surged through his body, and his feet erupted with energy. His figure swiftly stepped several paces to the left, successfully evading the serpent's attack and moving to its side.
At the same time, Su Yi clenched his five fingers, enveloping them with energy, and struck out with a powerful punch.
"Bang!"
Su Yi's fist came down with incredible speed and a thunderous burst of energy. The ancient bronze serpent shattered beneath his punch, transforming into a shower of light. However, no blood sprayed out.
"Not right, it's make-believe."
Su Yi's face suddenly changed. Something was not right. It was all make-believe. The gigantic serpent turned out to be an illusion, not a living creature. However, its presence felt identical to a real creature, with no difference whatsoever.
Su Yi was certain that if it were an ordinary person with insufficient strength, they would have been defeated.
