Chapter 601 Swallowing Immortal Debris, Internal Testing of Cultivation Technique (Thanks to 'maleimalei' for the generous donation)
"Get away!!"

Zhang Yu let out a loud shout, and the figure that had just been pushed down suddenly leaped up.

A surge of powerful energy, mixed with the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, erupted from his body, transforming into golden flames that enveloped his form and instantly shattered Kuang Tianqing before him, causing him to dissipate into the air.

But in Zhang Yu's eyes, Kuang Tianqing's figure was always appearing and disappearing around him.

One moment, his naked eye could still detect the other, but the next moment, his naked eye could no longer see the other, but his eyeballs could sense the opponent's presence.

But when he struck out with his palm, his aura sweeping across, the opponent's figure vanished from Zhang Yu's sight like a phantom.

"Heavenly Demon Illusionary Body Technique..."

Upon sensing Kuang Tianqing's presence and realizing that his perception had been clouded by illusion, Zhang Yu immediately recalled the information about the military-grade cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Demon University.

"The Heavenly Demon Illusion can distort the opponent's perception, altering their senses of sight, touch, smell, space, direction, and so on."

"Kuang Tianqing must be using this military-grade Taoist technique to deceive my senses."

“These phantoms are not all phantoms; there is definitely her true form among them.”

"It's just that our senses are distorted, so we can't distinguish them. Even if we hit her... we won't feel it or be aware of it."

"The key to this Taoist technique lies in air. As long as you cut off the connection with the outside air and switch to internal breathing..."

Zhang Yu originally thought this way and did this way, but he was soon surprised to find that even if he entered a state of internal breathing, he still could not stop his perception from being constantly distorted by the other party.

Just then, Zhang Yu felt a chill in his lower abdomen, as if a cold hand had gently touched him.

"did you see that?"

Kuang Tianqing's voice came from behind him, a warm breath blew on his neck, and a soft pressure pressed against his back.

"Did you see Bai Zhenzhen?"

"I'm going to rub him."

Zhang Yu roared, his aura surging, shattering the opponent's illusion once more, but he couldn't prevent the illusion from reappearing.

Each time the phantom appeared, it would reach its hand further down, as if Kuang Tianqing was always standing behind Zhang Yu, slowly making its way towards Zhang Yu's vitals.

"It's time to rub, it's time to rub, it's time to start rubbing!" Kuang Tianqing laughed heartily, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly? Bai Zhenzhen! Your good friend is completely under my control!"

Bai Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed at Kuang Tianqing's figure, her eyes, which were usually as calm as an autumn lake, now seemed to be filled with a raging storm.

"Zhang Yu... is being attacked by a powerful sword!"

If Zhang Yu really did this voluntarily, and if he offered to pay for it, then Bai Zhenzhen had nothing to say.

Even before Zhang Yu began practicing the Extreme Emotion Sword Path, Bai Zhenzhen would support him in doing so to earn money, support his family, and cultivate... for example, by helping him guard the door, collect money, suppress an attack, or lend a hand.

This is because it is the right path, the true path of Kunxu.

Even after Zhang Yu cultivated the Extreme Emotion Sword Path, Bai Zhenzhen was unwilling to stop him if he wanted to walk the righteous path.

She only wanted to change herself, break free from the new extreme love sword path, and hope that one day she could turn over a new leaf and stop slowing down Zhang Yu's earning speed.

but now……

"no!"

The current situation is that Kuang Tianqing is trying to devour Zhang Yu for free, against Zhang Yu's wishes.

Whether from an economic perspective, a personal emotional choice, or the restless sword energy within her at this moment... everything tells Bai Zhenzhen the same answer.

"Let me go!"

Seeing Kuang Tianqing hug Zhang Yu from behind and reach down, Bai Zhenzhen roared and her scarlet sword energy surged out, slashing rapidly towards Kuang Tianqing's figure.

Don't touch him with your stinky hands!

With a whoosh of sword energy, Kuang Tianqing's figure was shattered, and the ground hundreds of meters behind him was torn apart.

But the next moment, Kuang Tianqing reappeared, licking his lips and smiling, "Oh? So excited?"

"The power of the sword energy has increased again?"

"Bai Zhenzhen, you haven't even played it yourself, have you?"

"Then watch closely, it's me, Kuang Tianqing, who swallowed this immortal scum before you!"

Despite Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's fierce resistance, Kuang Tianqing's figure was repeatedly shattered, yet it reappeared time and again.

Each time she appeared, her alluring figure drew closer and closer to Zhang Yu's vitals.

Although Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen tried many ways to break the illusion, it seemed that no matter what they did, they could not interrupt what Kuang Tianqing was going to do next. They could not get rid of the influence of the Heavenly Demon Illusion.

"Damn it!" Bai Zhenzhen roared, her sword aura growing increasingly red, as if blood was about to drip from it.

Zhang Yu felt his blood and magical power flowing faster and faster, as if he were being drawn into a restless state by Kuang Tianqing.

"No... this can't go on..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I've tried all the methods recorded in the intelligence that could break the Heavenly Demon Illusion, but they all failed."

"Then there's only one possibility... the Heavenly Demon Illusion has been updated."

"The Heavenly Demon Illusion at this moment has surpassed the information recorded in our data."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu sent a message to the other party: Zhen! Let's retreat!

Zhang Yu: Until we figure out a way to break the Heavenly Demon Illusion, we must not continue fighting Kuang Tianqing.
The moment they finished exchanging words, the two of them flashed away and shot off.

Under the influence of the divine root, their figures vanished together, as if their existence had been completely erased from the world. Watching this, Kuang Tianqing chuckled lightly: "Can you escape?"

……

at the same time.

Above the stadium.

The ten Nascent Soul stage principals from the top ten universities each descended with a beam of divine light, converging here to watch the fierce battle on the floating continent below.

The light representing the Heavenly Evolution God Lord trembled slightly, and from it came the voice of the president of the University of Ten Thousand Laws: "Old Zizai, when was this Heavenly Demon Illusion Body updated? How come I didn't know?"

Amidst the divine light representing the Heavenly Demon University, the Free and Easy God Lord chuckled and said, "It's the beta version. Kuang Tianqing happened to participate in the project update, so let's learn from him."

"If you're worried about the paperwork, I can show it to you."

The Celestial Evolution God said calmly, "You really went to great lengths to get this first place."

The Free and Easy God laughed and said, "It's all because the students are making a ruckus down there. We're just going with the flow."

……

With the howling wind and flying grass, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen moved over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye.

But even during this rapid transfer, the two could see Kuang Tianqing's phantom constantly appearing, and they could not shake it off.

Under the cover of the divine root, the two figures vanished without a trace.

But from Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's perspective, they could see Kuang Tianqing grab Zhang Yu and chuckle, "Bai Zhenzhen, did you see that? He's about to react, he's about to react in my hands!"

With a soft whooshing sound.

The crimson sword energy grazed the edge, shattering Kuang Tianqing's figure and startling Zhang Yu as well.

“No…” Zhang Yu thought to himself, “This Heavenly Demon Illusion Body can distort perception over a wide range. As long as we can’t get out of Kuang Tianqing’s influence range in one go, we won’t be able to get rid of her.”

"Even with the concealment of a divine root, the sheer volume of their high-speed movement makes it easy for Kuang Tianqing to pinpoint their approximate location, allowing him to unleash the Heavenly Demon Illusion Body for wide-ranging distorted perception..."

"How to do?"

"How can I break free from Kuang Tianqing's illusion?!"

Just as Zhang Yu's mind was racing, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Yu Zi!"

Zhang Yu turned his head and looked at Bai Zhenzhen. Feeling her gaze fixed on him, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Bai Zhenzhen's body trembled slightly as she said, unwilling and humiliated, "If this continues, there's no way to stop them from humiliating you further."

"She is slowly devouring you."

"Once she actually completes dual cultivation with you and starts to exploit your body, you will slowly lose all your power to resist."

"Then there's only one last option left."

A crimson sword aura rose up, and Bai Zhenzhen said, "Yu Zi, let's just forget about that place. Completely eliminate your weaknesses and don't give Kuang Tianqing any more opportunities!"

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't utter a rebuttal.

"Is this really the only way?"

"Damn it, think of something! Think of a way to get out of this predicament."

"What should we do?!"

As Bai Zhenzhen walked towards him step by step, with each step her sword energy surged several times over, Zhang Yu's thought process seemed to be accelerating as well.

"The Heavenly Demon Illusion Form could never be without flaws."

"There must be a way... but can I figure it out?"

"Damn it, if Master were here, what would she do?"

Upon realizing this, Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted, "Wait, Zhen!"

At the same time, countless weapon-refining blueprints flashed through Zhang Yu's mind. He selected one of the blueprints for a magical artifact with the ability to resist illusions and suddenly activated the power of the Heavenly Craftsmanship.

The next moment, countless pieces of knowledge and memories belonging to Zhang Yu or the Magnetic Pole True Lord surfaced in his mind, constantly revising the design blueprints and creating a brand new blueprint in a short time.

"This is it!"

"A blueprint for a magical artifact that my master and I modified together, capable of countering the Heavenly Demon's illusionary body!"

However, Zhang Yu knew that he did not have time to refine this magic weapon at this moment.

However, looking at the contents of the design drawings helped Zhang Yu to figure out a way to fight against the Heavenly Demon Illusion.

"Oh? Is this the possible flaw in the Heavenly Demon Illusionary Body that my master and I researched together?"

The next moment, a soft snap was heard.

Zhang Yu had already grabbed Kuang Tianqing's hand as it reached down again.

This time, there was no phantom-like disappearance; Zhang Yu truly felt the other person's body, breaking through the distortion of his senses.

Under Kuang Tianqing's surprised gaze, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Finally... I've caught you!"
