235: Chapter 235 Reality and Illusion at Will, Truth and Falsehood as I Please
"Since you already know, that saves this seat quite a bit of breath." Shen's voice was low and cold.
"Your guess is correct; this seat truly intends to perform Possession on you. The power of Chaos within your body is exactly the supplement this seat needs most. Once this seat takes your Physical Body, refines your Chaos Origin, and breaks through this prison, no one in this Xuanhuang World will be able to stop this seat!"
Before the words faded, the layer of dim golden light around the Void Shadow suddenly surged.
This time, it did not hold back any strength, pouring out all the power remaining in its remnant Divine Soul.
Dark gray mist poured out from its body like a bursting flood, intertwining with the thick fog already filling the canyon to form immense gray vortices.
Those vortices rotated slowly, emitting an ancient and evil aura. Each rotation was more violent than the last, as if the entire canyon were trembling along with the movement of those vortices.
"Do you think that just because this seat has been trapped in this Seal for so many years, this is all the means I have left?"
Shen's voice came from the depths of the churning gray mist, cold and laced with a madness that made one's blood run cold.
"When this seat reigned supreme in the Primordial Era, your ancestors hadn't even been born yet!"
Following this sharp shout, countless Void Shadows suddenly appeared within the gray mist.
Those Void Shadows were dense and all-encompassing, stepping out from the mist to surround Jiang Changge completely.
Every one of them was identical in form to Shen, surrounded by the same dark gray mist and exuding the same ancient aura.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands; the number of Void Shadows surged, pressing in on him from all directions.
Each Void Shadow was as solid as a real entity, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was false.
Jiang Changge's expression remained unchanged as he swept the xuanchen whisk horizontally. A silvery-white arc of light surged from the whisk's tail, annihilating the dozens of Void Shadows that lunged at the very front.
However, those Void Shadows re-condensed the moment they were annihilated, like a tide that could never be fully quelled—one wave subsided, only for another to rise.
His gaze narrowed slightly, and the faint light deep within his pupils began to flow. Star Web Myriad Phenomena activated quietly, attempting to pierce through the layers of illusions to lock onto Shen's true form.
However, the moment his Divine Sense touched those Void Shadows, an extremely bizarre force backlashed along his Divine Sense.
That force was formless and intangible, yet it struck directly at the depths of his Divine Soul, exploding within his Sea of Consciousness. Countless fragmented illusions flooded his consciousness like a tide.
He saw himself standing above the Nine Heavens, his body radiant with boundless immortal light, looking down upon the common people; he saw Kunlun reduced to ruins, his Disciples struggling in pools of blood; he saw himself falling from a height of ten thousand zhang, surrounded by endless darkness and cold; he saw a giant claw that blotted out the sky descend, crushing him along with the entire world.
These were not simple visual illusions, but Illusory Law that acted directly upon the depths of the Divine Soul. It could simultaneously awaken one's deepest desires and deepest fears, amplifying them infinitely within the consciousness until one's mind was completely destroyed.
If one's will were even slightly weak, even a moment of wavering would cause one to be dragged into an endless abyss by these illusions, never to be reincarnated.
However, Jiang Changge's eyes only narrowed slightly before returning to clarity.
The Creation Sutra he Cultivate was inherently a method that encompassed all Dao. Under the nourishment of dozens of Great Dao Laws, his Divine Soul had long since been refined to a terrifying degree.
Although these illusions were more sophisticated than those cast by the Immortal Slave, they still could not shake his fundamental heart.
"Is this all you've got?" Jiang Changge sneered, and dozens of pale golden Law light spots around him lit up simultaneously.
The power of the Great Dao Laws intertwined around him into an airtight net, forcing those illusions back.
He waved his hand, and the ground-separating flame light flag flew out from his sleeve. The crimson-gold flag surface fluttered in the Void Realm, and a stream of South Bright Li Fire surged from the flag, transforming into a flaming Vermilion Bird. With its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky, it lunged toward the ocean of Void Shadows.
South Bright Li Fire was a fire of utmost Yang and intensity, specifically countering all evil and illusory things.
Wherever the Vermilion Bird passed, those dark gray Void Shadows, like snow meeting a scorching sun, emitted shrill shrieks and dissipated into black smoke one after another.
However, no sooner had the Vermilion Bird cleared an area than more Void Shadows poured out from the gray mist, dense and endless.
They constantly divided and re-condensed; the number not only did not decrease, but instead grew ever larger.
"It is useless." Shen's voice came from all directions, carrying a condescending mockery.
"This seat's Illusory Law has reached the Transcendent realm; Void and reality are at my will, truth and falsehood are determined by me. In this illusion, this seat is the world."
"No matter how strong your Law power is, you can annihilate millions of phantoms, but you cannot annihilate this seat's will. Unless you can destroy the entire world along with it, you will never be able to kill all of this seat's phantom Clones."
Jiang Changge did not respond. He retracted the ground-separating flame light flag and let his gaze sweep slowly across those dense Void Shadows.
Although Star Web Myriad Phenomena could not precisely lock onto Shen's true form for the moment, he could sense that although those Void Shadows were numerous, they were not without patterns.
Every time a new batch of condensed Void Shadows appeared, an extremely subtle Law fluctuation came from a certain direction. Although that fluctuation was wrapped in layers of illusions and was extremely concealed, it still could not escape his keen perception.
"Found you." Jiang Changge spat out these three words in a low voice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He swung the xuanchen whisk in his hand violently. A beam of light, thicker and more scorching than before, surged from the whisk's tail, transforming into a silvery-white light Dragon that lunged toward that direction with bared fangs and brandished claws.
Wherever the light Dragon passed, countless Void Shadows were ground into powder.
At the same time, the dozens of Law light spots around him lit up simultaneously, all pouring into the xuanchen whisk.
Time Law, Space Law, Yin and Yang Law, Five Elements Law, Life and Death Law, Karma Law, Slaughter Law... Dozens of offensive powers intertwined and underwent Fusion within the whisk, transforming into a world-destroying radiance that followed closely behind the light Dragon, crashing down upon Shen's true form.
Shen's expression finally changed. It had not expected that this young man could so precisely lock onto the location of its true form, nor had it expected that the opponent's attainment in Laws was so profound as to be able to fuse dozens of Law powers into one.
Those Law light spots intertwined, and the conflicts between them were forcibly reconciled by a higher-level power, forming a force that even this old monster, who had lived for three eras, had never seen before.
It let out a sharp shriek, no longer maintaining those phantom Clones, and withdrew all its power back into its true form.
The massive Void Shadow churned wildly in the gray mist, its form beginning to twist, expand, and deform in an extremely bizarre manner.
A moment later, it was no longer that semi-transparent humanoid Void Shadow, but had revealed its true form: a massive Dragon Void Shadow that was entirely dark gray.
