Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1107: Chapter 397: Shattering the Illusion, Total Fallout!

Once it was Nightmare True Monarch’s turn to use the Spirit-Consolidating Vine, it meant this fragile team was on the brink of collapse.

By then, the others would be trapped in this Illusion Realm, while Nightmare True Monarch would use the Dream Butterfly to escape, and together with Ji Yuan, break the illusion with the butterfly to seize the treasures within this Blood Pool.

Once the treasure was in hand, Nightmare True Monarch would likely attack and kill Bone Nightmare.

Bone Nightmare certainly wouldn’t sit back and await his demise. When that time came, a battle among Nascent Soul cultivators would erupt, and Ji Yuan estimated he wouldn’t even be able to watch the spectacle.

He dared not approach, only waiting atop the dune.

Watching as those Nascent Soul monsters moved step by step.

Soon, however, he noticed a difference in these Nascent Soul cultivators’ ability to resist the illusion.

Among these people, the one with the strongest resistance to the illusion was undoubtedly Nightmare True Monarch. Throughout the whole journey, Ji Yuan never noticed him pause once.

Next was... surprisingly Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

Does the Bone Nightmare Sect’s ”Great Dream Demon Scripture,” once successfully cultivated, enhance one’s ability to resist illusions?

If not, then the other Nascent Soul cultivators shouldn’t be weaker than this master-disciple duo.

Following them was the Soul Hall Master from the Soul Refining Hall. Although he wasn’t as quick as the Nightmare True Monarch duo, he didn’t stop along the way.

Next were Mansion Master of Xuan Snake and Lady of Joy.

As for the old demon from Celestial Killer Mountain and Ji Yuan’s convenient master Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, their ability to resist the illusion was the weakest.

Now, they were basically being dragged along by the others.

They held onto the Spirit-Consolidating Vine tightly, showing no response... If their hands weren’t gripping the vine tightly, they might’ve already succumbed to the illusion, motionless.

However, this situation was even more dangerous.

Given their ability to resist the illusion, they should have stopped outside, but now they’ve been brought inside.

Once they stop moving, they undoubtedly will fall into a deep illusion.

For Nightmare True Monarch, this couldn’t be better, as he might have intended this when he devised this counterfeit Spirit-Consolidating Vine.

Gradually, even Mansion Master of Xuan Snake and Soul Hall Master began to struggle to keep up.

Their steps often paused, and when they tried to keep pace again, they’d stagger, blocking Lady of Joy and the old demon of Celestial Killer Mountain.

Consequently, the team’s progress slowed even more.

The only one who frustrated Nightmare True Monarch was his proud disciple Bone Nightmare Old Demon... seemingly keeping up no matter what.

Could it be that they’ll easily obtain the Supreme Treasure within the Blood Pool this way?

Ji Yuan watched this scene, already prepared to flee quickly with Escape Light.

No matter how the treasure is obtained, or who takes possession of it, a fierce struggle bound to be a matter of life and death will surely ensue.

That will be the perfect moment for him to escape!

Having moved forward another dozen meters, Ji Yuan noticed Bone Nightmare Old Demon finally started showing signs of struggling, and even Nightmare True Monarch’s steps occasionally paused.

Yet, they were still around a hundred meters away from the central Blood Pool.

Simply judging from this distance revealed the terror of the Sixth Turn Blood Pool Illusion Realm, perhaps linked to Nightmare True Monarch’s words: this Blood Pool was originally a Nine Turn Blood Pool!

Soon, Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s pace slowed considerably.

The two dragging the others were already faltering.

Finally, after taking another step, Bone Nightmare Old Demon stopped completely.

Nightmare True Monarch habitually stepped forward, but since he had to drag the others himself, he couldn’t, so he too stopped.

At this point, their position was only eighty meters from the Blood Pool.

That may seem long, but in the grand scheme of the illusion field, it’s quite close.

This remaining distance was only a tenth of the entire journey.

They didn’t move, and Ji Yuan’s originally calm mind instantly tensed.

After waiting for roughly three breaths, he suddenly noticed a palm-sized black and white butterfly emerging from Nightmare True Monarch’s waist and landing on his shoulder.

His once stiff and frozen body immediately returned to normal.

With a forceful twist, he snapped the seemingly verdant Spirit-Consolidating Vine.

Bone Nightmare Old Demon, who had still shown some sign of mobility, immediately froze, motionless.

The other cultivators had long since become dazed.

All appeared trapped in a deep illusion.

This instinctively sparked a thought in Ji Yuan’s mind: if he relied on the Dream Butterfly to approach these Nascent Soul cultivators and took a sip of the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, could he eliminate them all?

If this move succeeded...

Ji Yuan dared not imagine how wealthy he would become; advancing from Core Formation Stage to even Nascent Soul Stage, he’d enjoy riches for a long, long time!

Surrounding the Blood Pool.

Nightmare True Monarch, upon regaining normalcy with the Dream Butterfly, tried to take a few steps forward.

He then paused, sensing something amiss, immediately transforming into Escape Light, leaving the Illusion Realm and returning to the mountain where Ji Yuan stood.

As soon as he landed, he gasped in greedily.

His eyes also swept over the remaining traces of magical combat beside him.
