Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 864 Without my intervention, you will be unable to obtain a new life.

Meanwhile, outside the illusion.

The barrier, constructed by Poseidon's divine power, still ripples, but this "ocean" now has a new master.

The "Tang Hao" that Poseidon initially saw, and the "Tang Chen" that followed, were actually Hypnos, the god of death who was recuperating in the waves!

The other puppets impersonating Poseidon and the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo were other gods trapped here. Without exception, they were all second-level gods.

This is an illusion constructed by the souls of the dead. This illusion is far larger than Poseidon thought, because the "essence" it can construct or the "flesh and blood" it is filled with are the remnant souls of those who died under the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.

The "steel bars" or "skeleton" of this illusion... are the wave barrier that Poseidon himself summoned.

That's why Poseidon was so engrossed in this illusion that he couldn't even sense the slightest flaw, because the framework itself was something he had summoned himself. How could he possibly find a loophole in his own methods?

Moreover, other secondary deities were also drawn into this illusion; it was a shared, interwoven dream.

At this moment, Qian Renxue was in the endless sky above this illusion. She had seized control of the wave barrier, like a cold-blooded ruler, watching all of this happen.

It's unlikely that there wasn't some personal grudge involved.

She manipulates this enormous illusion, disrupting the spacetime within it, which is why Poseidon sees those staircases that resemble endless corridors.

Qian Renxue's methods this time were similar to those she used against the ferocious sea beasts before, except that she had previously extracted the most vulnerable memories from their minds.

And now, she has brought out the darkest part of Poseidon's heart.

Having witnessed too much of the wickedness in people's hearts, Qian Renxue understood the darkness within human nature all too well. She had grasped this principle since she disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, but later she abandoned it when undergoing the Angel God Trial.

Now, she doesn't mind reusing this practice of "amplifying the darkness in the other person's heart" or "creating fear in the other person's heart".

When Poseidon first fell into the illusion, Qian Renxue amplified fear.

The other party encountered "Tang Hao". At that time, Qian Renxue only wanted him to experience the feeling of being strangled to death, and then experience various other methods of death such as "being cut in half at the waist", "being slowly sliced ​​to death", etc., including the ten cruel punishments of the Heaven Dou Empire and the ten cruel punishments of the Sun Moon Empire in this era.

But it was after Poseidon first fell into the illusion that Qian Renxue realized some of his memories and past, such as why he became the sea god, the so-called story of conquering the sea and walking through every corner of the sea, that was just history written by the victors.

In fact, it's estimated that 70% of the sea spirit beasts he conquered were defeated using gunplay, not his golden trident. His mount, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, was truly meant to be ridden.

Poseidon, in the end, is just a useless person who is easily swayed by worms.

Thus, the second act of the drama unfolds, where Qian Renxue uses illusions to amplify the desires and darkness in the other person's heart, but does not give him the ability to conquer these desires and darkness.

Qian Renxue was still merciful. If it were someone else, someone more ruthless, they could probably directly simulate the former Deep Sea Demon Whale King and re-conquer the sea spirit beast that Poseidon had once conquered with his spear... or other more vicious acts of destroying the spirit, such as making Poseidon castrate himself and become a eunuch servant to Poseidon, and so on.

It can only be said that he lacked experience in some things and genuinely didn't know what to do. Another lingering worry in Poseidon's heart was that golden trident.

That was his former martial spirit, and later, after he ascended to godhood, he acquired a divine artifact. In fact, he could have chosen not to pass it down to his lineage. A divine artifact transformed from a martial spirit could actually be considered a natal divine artifact—think of Kong Deming's Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, which was a natal soul tool created through the combination of soul guidance technology and martial spirit.

Therefore, he remained stuck at the peak of the first-level god realm, which was related to his own inner demons as well as the trident of Poseidon.

At this very moment, within the ripple barrier below, the God of Slaughter, also caught in the illusion, was in the same predicament. His inner demon lay in helping the God of Asura do those thankless tasks, which led him to develop the idea that "I am the future God of Asura."

"This is the lingering resentment in the hearts of several deities, deeply imprinted in their minds." In Qian Renxue's eyes, golden and blood-red flowers swirled. "Moreover, the resentment of the God of Slaughter is also considerable; he even mistook Poseidon for the real Tang San... which is why he was so ruthless... and even considered taking the former Poseidon for himself?"

Qian Renxue sensed it, probably because Tang San was also showing off his power against the God of Slaughter? He even made him do dirty and tiring work for her one after another, and even suffered divine punishment for it, losing his military power.

Qian Renxue looked at the God of Slaughter. The closer the other party got to Poseidon, the happier he laughed, as if a flower had bloomed.

Finally, the God of Slaughter lost control and started running.

In Poseidon's mind, countless Tang Chens flashed forward at this moment, and the strip in his hand turned into a hand blade.

The blade flashed forward, tearing through the air, slicing through countless streams of bloody liquid. Its speed could only be described as fleeting, its high speed whipping up the blood throughout the endless corridor, creating a bloody storm behind it.

Finally, the knife plunged into Poseidon's body. After entering, the knife began to lengthen and then bend. It stretched within Poseidon's body, attempting to tear him apart completely.

Because in the God of Slaughter's view, only by killing the "Tang San" in front of him could he have a chance to obtain the Seed of Asura God's Inheritance—all of this seemed impossible, but in the illusion, it became a distorted reality.

The God of Slaughter laughed wildly. In the end, he even hugged the person in front of him and pushed the hilt of the knife into his chest. He could almost hear the other person's heart being pierced by the blade and then beating painfully.

The God of Slaughter was an expert in killing and had an intimate knowledge of the human body. He accurately pierced every meridian of his opponent with his extended blade, without any knots in between.

The blade then preemptively "vibrated blood" inside the opponent's body, severing the opponent's meridians inch by inch.

Qian Renxue tilted her head, then the God of Slaughter twisted the exposed part of the hilt of her sword fiercely, and a fountain of blood gushed out. In reality, Poseidon, whose defenses had already been breached by the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, directly pumped out endless blood.

Poseidon, perhaps until his death, never understood who was the mastermind behind this drama.

He was like a lab rat; after the experiment was completed, he would be injected with air and then his life would end.

However, Qian Renxue had no intention of giving him the chance to reincarnate.

"Without my intervention, you will not be able to attain rebirth."

Qian Renxue's hands began to move, as if she were forming a hand seal.
