Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

The first island, the second island... the tenth island... the fifteenth island...

In a mechanical factory on Earth, a woman with a sallow complexion and a hunched-over man were constantly busy, their clothes soaked with sweat and their hair drenched.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the ceiling fans above the factory began to vibrate violently.

Rumble!
The ground cracked instantly, and the roof above the factory building made a deafening noise before collapsing with a crash.

"Old Li!" the woman shouted, lunging forward and knocking the man to the ground. Then, they were engulfed by the roof of the entire factory building.

……

"That's it? Break it!" Rean, standing on the fifteenth island, slowly opened his eyes, his face expressionless.

The fifteenth island illusion shattered instantly.

"This illusion is quite clever; it likes to influence me with family ties, knowing that my parents are the most important to me." Rean chuckled, unconcerned, and stepped onto the next island.

And so he continued onward, arriving directly at the 21st island!
At this moment, the highest level of the entire Virtual Universe Company, that is, the level of the Chaos City Lord, was alarmed.

They even appeared in the Illusionary Sea in person, wanting to see with their own eyes who had actually reached the 21st level of the Illusionary Sea at the World Lord level—their willpower was simply heaven-defying.

On the 21st level of the Illusionary Sea, Rean found himself at the end of the Illusionary Sea after passing through this level. Even he was somewhat tired in the face of the interconnected illusions.

Even though he knew it was just an illusion, he was still affected and moved because he hadn't seen his family on Earth for far too long.

He no longer wanted to be immersed in the illusion, but instead wanted to continuously accumulate strength so that one day he could truly transcend this world and return to his own.

In the original story, when Hong, a cosmic-level being, passed through the 20th floor, he alarmed the highest level of the Giant Axe Arena, including the founder of the Giant Axe. Now that Rean has passed through all 21 floors, how could he not alarm the big shots of the Virtual Universe Company?
Don't underestimate the fact that it's just one more layer; the difficulty increases by hundreds or thousands of times. It's something that even many universe venerables can't achieve, let alone a world lord.

"21 floors, that's pretty good." Rean checked his points balance and expressed his satisfaction.

Just this one trip into the Illusionary Sea earned me a whopping 209715100 points, which is over 200 million points!

Although these two hundred million points are only enough to buy the first six volumes of the "Opening Heaven" secret technique, and not even the seventh volume, it is almost enough for Rean at present.

Upon leaving the Illusionary Sea, Rean also discovered extremely terrifying beings appearing in the Illusionary Sea plane. Each of them exuded a terrifying aura, instantly attracting Rean's attention.

Although he didn't recognize these people, he knew what the Lord of Chaos City looked like, as there was a very detailed description in the original work.

These people were standing next to the Lord of Chaos City, chatting and laughing with each other, so their status was probably similar to that of the Lord of Chaos City.

In other words, this is a group of cosmic lords!
"Tsk tsk, good lad, a World Lord level, such a strong will?" One of the men, a bald man dressed in black, looked at Li En with a smile, his gaze making Li En feel cold all over.

This person was simply covered by a black outer garment, underneath which was a strange armor combining silver and black. His skin was as white as jade, and his bald head had extremely strange and complex black patterns. His eyes were like those of a venomous snake in the night.

“Not bad.” A silver-haired man with graying temples, wearing ancient battle armor stained with blood and carrying a sword on his back, looked at Rean with approval and nodded slightly.

"Compared to us back then, they seem to be no less impressive." A booming voice, like thunder, rang out.

Rean turned his head and saw that the speaker had a massive, mountain-like body, a long dragon tail, and eyes that seemed to contain the entire universe. At that moment, Rean also noticed that someone next to him slightly curled their lip, seemingly unimpressed.

The man was tall and thin, with an upward-curving horn on each ear, resembling two scythes. He also had an eye between his eyebrows and wore a set of dark blue scale-like armor, carrying a strange weapon on his back.

Rean instantly recalled the descriptions of several super big shots in the virtual universe from the original work. Upon comparing them one by one, he was slightly surprised. It seemed that all the big shots had arrived.

"Alright, everyone disperse." At this moment, the Chaos City Lord waved his hand and spoke.

The others didn't say much and disappeared instantly. Before leaving, they all gave Rean a friendly look, and the bald man in black even smiled at Rean.

After everyone left, the Lord of Chaos City looked at Rean.

"follow me."

call!
Rean felt the space-time around him shift, and in the blink of an eye, he and the Lord of Chaos City found themselves in a massive palace.

"I am the Lord of Chaos City, and this is my residence on Thunder Island." The Lord of Chaos City's deep voice echoed in the hall. "If you ever need anything in the future, you can come here to see me."

"The Lord of Chaos City?" Although he already knew this person's identity, Rean was still surprised for a moment, then he bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord City Lord."

"No need to call me City Lord, just call me Senior Brother." The Chaos City Lord's words instantly stunned Rean.

"Senior brother?" Rean looked up in surprise.

“That’s right.” The Chaos City Lord answered affirmatively. “Do you know what it means to break through the twenty-first level of the Illusionary Sea at the World Lord level?”

"I don't know," Rean answered honestly.

"Before you, no one has ever reached this level." The Chaos City Lord exclaimed in amazement. "Even back then, when I was a World Lord, I could only pass through the twentieth level of the Illusionary Sea."

“It’s extremely difficult to improve one’s character. My teacher values ​​character the most when accepting disciples. It’s very rare for someone at the Realm Lord level to have such character. That’s why he made an exception and accepted you as a disciple.” The Chaos City Lord explained to Li En.

The Chaos City Lord's teacher? That means...

Rean was aware of that person's existence, but at this moment he could only guard his mind and not let anyone have a chance to peek into his thoughts. Although he felt that person would not do such a thing, he still had to be careful.

He never expected that his adventure in the Illusionary Sea would alarm the most legendary being in humankind and even be accepted as a disciple. However, based on his understanding of the original story, that being probably doesn't have much energy left to teach disciples these days.

Sure enough, at this moment, the Lord of Chaos City continued:

"Our teacher has been in seclusion and cultivating, so he probably won't have the opportunity to teach you for a while. That's why he asked me to guide you. Once you reach the Immortal King level, I can take you to see our teacher."

"Yes, senior brother." Li En naturally had no objections at this point and could only follow the arrangements of the Chaos City Lord and that teacher.

The Lord of Chaos City was fairly satisfied with Rean. He took out a world ring and presented it directly to Rean. (End of Chapter)
