Illusory True Demon God

Luo Feng, standing by the railing of the pavilion, turned to look down. In the courtyard of his residence stood a figure: the Two-Faced Ancestral God. "Ancestral God," Luo Feng said, instantly flashing down. The Two-Faced Ancestral God's fair and benevolent face looked at Luo Feng, making him feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. Luo Feng quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Ancestral God, for saving me." The Aurora Lake enveloped the entire core region of the Ancestral God Sect. Its sudden disappearance had indeed been noticed by many islands, the Eight Directions Beast God Halls, the Guardian Beast God Halls, the 72 God General Continents, and more. How could the disappearance of the sect's treasure, the 'Aurora Lake,' not be a major event? Although it quickly returned to normal, it still sparked endless debate. "The Aurora Lake is a supreme true treasure. It's impossible to fully activate it unless it's a critical moment. Usually, just a wisp of its aurora is enough to annihilate an enemy." "It vanished instantly just now, so the Aurora Lake must have gone all out." "Who was it?" "Who provoked the Aurora Lake to attack with its full power?" The Ancestral God Sect had a large number of outer members, who typically resided on other islands. They discussed it animatedly, and at the same time, quietly relayed the news back to their respective backing forces! Although they were outer members, like 'Jiufeng Venerable,' who was a candidate God General, they were certainly most loyal to humanity! With the Ancestral God Sect at its core, the news quietly and rapidly spread. "The Ancestral God Sect's protective treasure, the Aurora Lake, was activated once. It vanished instantly and only reappeared a moment later." "Something major must have happened." "To be pushed to such an extent, could a universe supreme master have intruded into the core region of the Ancestral God Sect?" The other nine super forces of the universe were not foolish. They quickly made their own deductions, especially the three supreme beings of the Bug, Demon, and Machine races, who secretly anticipated the outcome. This was because after the Machine Race's Father God invited the 'Illusory True Demon God,' he immediately informed the Demon and Bug races that a universe supreme master had been dispatched. "It must be that Luo Feng was killed, provoking the Ancestral God Sect's wrath." "Haha, as long as Luo Feng is killed, that stubborn fellow can easily escape with his abilities." The news rapidly spread to the outside world, but Luo Feng remained completely unaware. Especially on Purple Thorn Island, because the 'Two-Faced Ancestral God' controlled the cosmic space, the inheritors on Purple Thorn Island didn't even witness the scene of the Aurora Lake instantly vanishing and then reappearing moments later. "What?!" Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Ancestral God, you... you've been protecting me all this time..." "Hahaha..." The Two-Faced Ancestral God laughed, "I am that Demon Race Immortal who lives next door to you. I transformed into that appearance, so of course, no one on Purple Thorn Island could discover it." "It was him?" The image of a two-headed silver wolf Demon Race Immortal immediately appeared in Luo Feng's mind. "If I hadn't been living right next door to you, and you suddenly encountered danger, how could I have had time to save you if I were in the Ancestral God Palace?" The Two-Faced Ancestral God chuckled, "That Illusory True Demon God possesses immense power. He appeared on Purple Thorn Island in an instant. If I had been in the Ancestral God Palace, by the time I discovered his presence and rushed over... you would likely have already fallen, or even had your soul controlled." "Soul controlled?" Luo Feng's eyebrows shot up. According to what he knew... A universe supreme master was only slightly stronger than the most powerful universe master; the gap wasn't too outrageous. His own will and consciousness were at the universe master level, he had the Tribulation Armor to weaken soul attacks, and a component of the supreme true treasure Star Tower, the 'Tower Pearl,' guarded his soul. He shouldn't be that vulnerable, right? "Don't believe it?" The Two-Faced Ancestral God smiled at Luo Feng, shaking his head. "He's called the Illusory True Demon God? Why 'Illusory True'? It's because the illusory techniques he employs... are exactly like reality." "Illusion? Reality?" Luo Feng was secretly startled. "Once you fall into his illusion, you can still sense the universe's origin laws and cultivate... The law insights you gain within it are completely real." The Two-Faced Ancestral God smiled at Luo Feng. "Of course, once you break free from the illusion, you'll find that your physical self hasn't changed; only your will and memories have undergone slight alterations. Naturally, the laws you cultivate must be ones he comprehends; if he doesn't, he naturally can't allow you to cultivate them." Luo Feng was secretly startled. One could cultivate laws even in an illusion? This, this was very similar to the virtual universe. No! The virtual universe allowed countless beings to enter simultaneously, and within it, they could cultivate any kind of law, almost indistinguishable from the real world. Moreover, true super powerhouses could clearly distinguish between the virtual world and reality and wouldn't get confused. Only some ordinary humans with very weak strength, who spent a long time in virtual games... over time, would confuse reality with the virtual. But once one's will became strong, they wouldn't get confused. Therefore, there was a fundamental difference between the virtual universe and an illusion. The former was more upright, more like another universe—the 'universe of consciousness.' "Once you fall into his illusion, you might instantly spend ten thousand years or even longer within it," the Two-Faced Ancestral God said. "Couldn't this be used for cultivation then?" Luo Feng asked in surprise. "It's a very powerful way to save time." "No." The Two-Faced Ancestral God walked along the flagstone path at the edge of the pond. "Maintaining an illusion consumes an enormous amount of divine power, and he would have to go all out. Making an ordinary human fall into an illusion for a long time is easy. But making a 'universe master' fall into an illusion and instantly spend ten thousand years within it? The divine power consumption would be exaggerated. How could it be used for cultivation? Moreover, the path you walk, the Illusory True Demon God might not necessarily comprehend." "But his strongest ability is illusion," the Ancestral God said, looking at Luo Feng. "I've lived next to you for 62 years, silently observing you for so long, and I've concluded... your will and consciousness should have reached the universe master level, and your divine body is roughly comparable to a unique special life form." Luo Feng was shocked. How terrifying. He hadn't even fought, yet through mere observation, long-term observation, the Ancestral God had deduced this. Even his teacher, the Chaos City Lord, could only make such a judgment within the primal universe. "Killing your soul is as difficult as killing a universe master." "But the Illusory True Demon God can do it." The Ancestral God nodded. "The Illusory True Demon God's illusion technique is extremely terrifying. Even with a universe master's will and consciousness... one would need at least a top-tier soul-type true treasure to be unafraid of his illusions. And this is still under the condition that his strength is suppressed by the universe's origin laws." "Must it be a top-tier soul-type true treasure?" Luo Feng held his breath. A top-tier soul-type true treasure was comparable in value to a pinnacle true treasure. Among universe masters, perhaps most didn't possess one. "You must understand, he is the most terrifying among universe supreme masters when it comes to illusion techniques," the Two-Faced Ancestral God said, looking at Luo Feng. "Ordinary soul-type true treasures... his illusory divine power can instantly tear them apart. Even high-grade soul-type true treasures cannot protect against him. This is a fact proven by his battle records." Luo Feng nodded, committing it firmly to memory. This information was considered confidential. The Two-Faced Ancestral God sharing it with him was no small favor. In fact, the Two-Faced Ancestral God had been living in seclusion next to him for a full 62 years, meaning that ever since Luo Feng's fame skyrocketed and attracted the killing intent of the Bug, Demon, and Machine races, the Two-Faced Ancestral God had already begun residing near him. "The Tribulation Armor can only weaken one layer. Is the Tower Pearl alone not enough?" "It seems I must always keep the Star Tower with me," Luo Feng thought to himself. Once the Tower Pearl returned to the Star Tower, and the Star Tower, miniaturized, resided within Luo Feng's divine body, it could naturally guard his soul! The Star Tower possessed numerous functions: attack, soul-type, flying palace-type, sealing-type, and more. Although its soul-type function was merely one of its many, with the entire Star Tower within his body... Luo Feng judged that it should be comparable to a pinnacle soul-type true treasure. At the very least, Luo Feng felt it was a completely different sensation. Just as Sitting Mountain Guest had said... With the Star Tower, he feared no one! The strongest defensive form was to hide inside the Star Tower! Regardless of physical or soul attacks, the Star Tower could completely isolate and resist them! Hiding within it, even a universe supreme master would be helpless! Of course, doing so would expose his possession of the Star Tower, which would undoubtedly draw the covetous gazes of the universe's most powerful beings. There was no logic in guarding against thieves for a thousand days; being secretly watched by one universe supreme master after another, he couldn't possibly live inside the Star Tower forever. Once he became careless, danger would strike. "Next time, I'll place the Star Tower within my body to guard my soul." "I still underestimated universe supreme masters. Everyone says that a universe supreme master is only slightly stronger than the most powerful universe master. But I didn't expect them to be this formidable. It seems... I also underestimated the power of universe masters," Luo Feng thought to himself. He had always believed that once he stepped into the universe venerable stage, he could contend with a universe master. But Luo Feng suddenly realized... Universe masters also had their strengths and weaknesses! With the weaker ones, he might be able to contend. But the strong ones, like Chaos City Lord and others, were only slightly inferior to the Illusory True Demon God. Judging from the Illusory True Demon God's performance, the top-tier universe masters were probably much stronger than himself. "With the supreme true treasure 'Star Tower' guarding my soul, the Tribulation Armor protecting my body, and a divine body over 90,000 kilometers long... a universe supreme master shouldn't be able to do anything to me. Hmm, I need to retrieve the Star Tower quickly." Luo Feng increasingly felt he had been too confident; the power displayed by the universe supreme master this time had sobered him. The Two-Faced Ancestral God turned and looked at Luo Feng. "The news of you killing Fan Guang Lord and Zhong Zhan Venerable spread, especially once you appeared on Purple Thorn Island. The other two Ancestral Gods and I discussed your situation. The Bug, Machine, and Demon races might tolerate it for a while, but over time, they might make a move. So, on the second day of your arrival on Purple Thorn Island, I moved into the palace next to yours." "Thank you, Ancestral God," Luo Feng said repeatedly. This kindness... He must remember it! Repay kindness with kindness! "You are the one our Ancestral God Sect has had the highest hopes for in recent long ages. Your potential is even greater than Purple Rain Venerable's." The Two-Faced Ancestral God smiled at Luo Feng. "Our Ancestral God Sect hopes you will grow, grow to a level comparable to your teacher, the Chaos City Lord. At that time, our Ancestral God Sect will have a 'Guardian God Lord' position for you."
