Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 280, Ninth

In the deepest part of the Illusionary Sea, on the edge of the 21st island, sat cross-legged an old man in black scale armor shrouded in a golden robe.

He is the manager of the entire Illusionary Sea.

"Hmm?" The old man, whose face was covered with black scales, opened his aged eyes, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

"A mere ninth-tier cosmic-level kid actually crossed the seventh island of the Illusionary Sea so easily? Many realm lords might not even be able to pass through this one island, yet he did it so effortlessly."

"Impressive, let me check his information."

"Jiang Chen is actually Lord Kandri's disciple, but Lord Kandri couldn't possibly have taught him this will and consciousness so easily!"

"Let's see which island this little guy can reach. If he can reach the ninth island, that would be amazing!"

"That's a feat that even many peak Realm Lords can't overcome," the black-scaled old man said with a smile.

He continued to gaze into the void, watching Jiang Chen's journey through the Illusionary Sea.

Just a moment.

"He passed the eighth island?" The old man in black scales' eyes lit up, greatly surprised, and he immediately stood up. "He—passed the eighth island so quickly?"

The 21 islands in the Mirage Sea are actually quite similar to the 21 floors of the Sky Bridge.

Those who pass the 21st level can basically become cosmic masters.

However, consciousness and will are very illusory and unfathomable.

Strength is strength, and willpower is willpower. The two are related, but there are always exceptions, and they are not necessarily equivalent.

It's possible that a mere apprentice-level kid might have a stronger will than a realm lord.

"His level of consciousness is probably close to that of a peak Realm Lord."

The old man in black scales was filled with shock. He said in a low voice, "This level of skill would be a huge disadvantage in an illusion, but clearly his will has made up for the lack of 'consciousness'."

"Moreover, his soul is so powerful, he must have had some special opportunity, otherwise a little guy at the cosmic level could not be this strong."

"The ninth island." A hint of tension flickered in the eyes of the old man with black scales.

"The ninth island represents the pinnacle for Realm Lords. Very, very few Realm Lords can even pass through it."

"How could Jiang Chen, a mere ninth-level cosmic-level kid, possibly pass? It's simply impossible."

The ninth island, too, has white rocks and gravel, and its trees and plants are all green.

At this moment, Jiang Chen stood atop a mountain peak only a little over three hundred meters high on the ninth island, standing ramrod straight, his eyes shining, eager to try.

Conquering the illusionary seas time and time again did not tire Jiang Chen; on the contrary, his eyes shone brightly, like a gem that was constantly gathering strength.

Without the slightest hesitation, and without fear or worry, Jiang Chen faced the ninth illusion directly.

In just a few seconds, the illusion, accompanied by overwhelming pressure, completely enveloped Jiang Chen.

"Boom!"

Jiang Chen felt as if a huge mountain had crashed down on his consciousness.

This terrifying intensity of consciousness would make even many peak Realm Lords feel dizzy and disoriented if their consciousness were struck so hard.

Once you're in that dizzy, disoriented state and enveloped in an illusion, you're basically doomed.

First, it strikes your mind hard, almost making you faint and confused, and then it invades you with illusions.

Many people fall victim to this without even realizing it.

However, Jiang Chen had been researching illusion techniques all along. As long as his will did not collapse, those illusion techniques were nothing to him.

"Concentrate your will, activate the Fallen Eyes!"

Jiang Chen's eyes were like swirling eddies, drawing people in and making them fall, as if deep within them lay the things that humans love and crave most.

With Jiang Chen's mastery of illusion techniques, he can manipulate ordinary planetary-level beings at will, and even celestial-level beings for a considerable period of time. Most cosmic-level beings cannot withstand his illusion techniques, and even if they do, they would probably have to expend most of their energy to do so.

As for the Domain Lord level, Jiang Chen's illusion technique is not powerful enough. It is estimated that if the Domain Lords devote about 30% of their energy, they can withstand it, which will only make them feel a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Chen's illusion magic is not strong enough.

The illusions cast by the Zerg Queen are terrifying; most World Lords will succumb and lose their fighting ability.

It was as if a mountain had crashed down on his consciousness. Jiang Chen instantly felt a thunderous roar. This kind of willpower pressure was simply a joke if it wanted him to succumb to it.

Jiang Chen quickly regained his senses and completely ignored the illusion.

Jiang Chen's consciousness strength is equivalent to that of a Zerg Queen at the World Lord level.

The Zerg Queen is far stronger than humans of the same level, a peak ninth-tier World Lord, with a consciousness strength approaching that of an immortal-level human.

Now, he is being struck by the consciousness of a peak Realm Lord, but fortunately, Jiang Chen's will is extremely firm.

It withstood the bombardment without collapsing.

If Jiang Chen's consciousness strength were only at the ordinary cosmic level, he would probably have been blasted apart instantly.

"Master, after Earth's humans entered the universe, they provoked a powerful immortal family, and almost all of them were wiped out!"

Hill's anxious, cold voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Chen's mind.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, then sneered, "Noisy!"

"Break it!!!"

Luo Feng's consciousness solidified, like a spear that pierced through everything, directly discarding all illusionary obstacles and thrusting it directly into the sky, causing the illusory world to tremble violently.

Then, with a loud bang, the entire illusion shattered.

The entire illusion collapsed instantly, revealing the scene of the ninth island. In the distant black sea, a white figure emerged—the tenth island.

"The tenth island!" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately flew to the next island.

At the edge of the 21st island in the deepest part of the Illusionary Sea, the old man in black scales, the administrator, showed a look of shock: "Such a strong consciousness, such a terrifying will."

"How long has it been since I've seen such a terrifying will!"

"Such a terrifying will either leads to certain death in a desperate situation or to overcoming all obstacles and becoming a super strong person."

"Bolan failed to reach the seventh island, and Rong Jun failed to reach the sixth island. Their willpower was already terrifying enough, but this Jiang Chen actually made it past the ninth island." The black-scaled old man swallowed hard.

"This news must be reported to the higher-ups." The old man in black scales said solemnly.

A virtual universe has been created, forming a "bridge to heaven".

"The 'Illusory Sea' and the 'Immortal Altar' are designed to select and test the most outstanding among the geniuses."

The Immortal Altar is the least valued of the three, because almost every peak Realm Lord can achieve perfect control over their body.

The Bridge to Heaven and the Sea of ​​Illusions are places that even many immortals and cosmic venerables would venture to.

Therefore, the Sky Bridge and the Illusionary Sea are given more attention.

The tenth island.

Jiang Chen's eyes shone brightly, then his gaze sharpened, and his consciousness focused.

The illusion of this tenth island descended accompanied by an incredibly terrifying pressure.

"Boom!"

It was as if the sky had collapsed and crashed down, directly striking Luo Feng's consciousness. It was the first time Jiang Chen had felt such a roar of will, and he was somewhat confused.

However, it immediately withstood the pressure. Even if the tenth one was an immortal will, it was impossible to crush Jiang Chen with just willpower.

The enchantment that followed left Jiang Chen's eyes glazed over.

Jiang Chen could withstand illusions at the Domain Lord level, and even influence them in return; but illusions at the World Lord level...

It can only slightly affect Jiang Chen; it's impossible for it to control him.

However, this tenth one already possessed an immortal-level will and illusion, and he withstood it.

He was helpless against illusions of the Immortal level.

The tenth island, failure.
