Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The power of the Mirage Dragon was beyond everyone’s expectations. Everyone initially thought that the Mirage was Mirage Dragon’s strongest skill. Only then did they realize that it was a big mistake that might just cost them their lives. “You lowly reptiles should feel honored to be my entertainment. Nevertheless, I’ll grant you the deaths you so desperately seek!” said the Mirage Dragon indifferently. “I’s using the Mirage just for fun?” “It’s game over for us. We were too careless. The Mirage Dragon is an extremely rare creature even during ancient times. There was no record of just how strong it is.” “Everyone, spread out and run! Godspeed!”
Most people had already taken the opportunity to flee. They were terrified to the core when they saw how the Mirage Dragon neutralized their offenses as if they were nothing. However, it was too late for them for a cloud of unknown gray mist was already spilling forth from the Mirage Dragon’s eyes. Its savage aura was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
In the next moment, it threw its head back and roared at the sky. The terrifying sound waves warped the space, causing it to vibrate violently as the Mirage Dragon’s roar was transmitted into everyone’s ears. This caused them to suddenly stop in their tracks. They had all become stationary. Whether they were running on the ground or flying in the air, it was as if they were all frozen in time. “Lcan’t move my body!” “Is… Is this an illusion?” “The illusions have blended into reality. It’s both an illusion and reality!”
Everyone’s minds were spinning fast and they were extremely anxious.
They knew that it was just an illusion, and yet, they still could not control their bodies. It was as if they were under some kind of sleep paralysis. “O, you lowly insects, you’ll soon fall into a fantasy where your greatest fears will lurk over you! Be prepared to die from endless fear and despair!” The Mirage Dragon’s ruthless voice resounded deep in everyone’s hearts as if it was the ruler of the world. “Ah, ah! My lord, please, don’t kill me! I was wrong!” “No, I can’t swim! Please, spare me! I don’t want to die!” “”Ah—! Don’t come here. Go away. No… No!” “Don’t fry me! I don’t taste nice at all! Anh—!”
More and more people let out desperate roars. Their wore expressions that were extremely pained and their bodies twitched as they found themselves immersed in their deepest fears.
Yang Jing and the others looked solemn as if they were facing their greatest enemy yet. Their hearts became more and more uneasy. They struggled to activate their mana, but in the end, they were still unable to break through the Mirage Dragon’s illusion.
Suddenly, the Mirage Dragon’s strange eyes fell on them. “It’s you who ruined my game. I’ll give you special entertainment!” ‘The Mirage Dragon’s tone intensified and its tyrannical breath swept over the Heavenly Palace people. “Come, show me your greatest fears!”
Soon, the Heavenly Palace people’s eyes widened and their faces became flushed. Their legs turned into jelly and they were all forced to kneel on the ground. In their eyes, a figure slowly appeared. Although the outline of the person was still relatively vague, they knew that this was the person they respected and feared the most in their hearts. That ordinary temperament, indifferent attitude, his free and easy demeanor… They were all too familiar to them. “Ex…expert!” called the Heavenly Palace people in trembling voices.
The Mirage Dragon’s eyes narrowed slightly with surprise. It could naturally see into their fantasies and it wanted to see what they feared the most so that it could torment them with it. It never expected that they would all have the same fear. On top of that, it was odd how their fantasies did not reveal the person’s appearance to the fullest. How could it be so vague when he was the master of the illusion? “Reveal yourself!” ordered the Mirage Dragon in a low voice. The Mirage surged and the vague figure finally moved. The figure seemed to be walking out of the Mirage, one slow step at a time. Suddenly, a feeling of extreme unease and panic arose in the Mirage Dragon’s heart. “No, stop, don’t come here!” It hissed and screamed, trying to turn around to flee.
However, at that moment, it realized that it could not do anything. It could only watch the figure approaching it, step by step. Even so, the appearance of the figure was still very vague, but the aura he exuded was extremely monstrous! “The illusion isn’t visible, my illusions can’t bear his arrival at all. I’m not qualified to see his face! Who is it? Who are you? I was wrong, don’t come here!” The Mirage Dragon roared in despair as it trembled non-stop.
After a while, some of the people woke up from their nightmares while others could not wake up at all. “What… What happened? Did I fall into another illusion just now?” “It was so terrifying! I almost died.” “A real fantasy, turning death into reality, is too terrifying.”
Everyone had lingering fears and some even started to cry when they recalled their nightmare illusion. Immediately after, their eyes fell on Yang Jing and the others. There were expressions of surprise on their faces for the Mirage Dragon was lying dead at their feet with a horrified expression frozen on its face.
The great and mighty Mirage Dragon was actually scared to death by someone else’s illusion? Everyone shivered involuntarily at the thought. Just how terrifying were the Heavenly Palace people that they were able to beat the Mirage Dragon at its own game? It was simply unbelievable and shocking. They made a mental note to themselves never to cross them.
The Heavenly Palace people took a deep breath and looked at each other with a knowing look.
Xiao Chengfeng shook his head and said, “Why, this Mirage Dragon’s just a small fry.” “Haha, it got scared to death by the illusion in our hearts. How stupid can it get?” “The expert isn’t something for the likes of you to see!” “The expert’s power is undoubtedly immeasurable. Although he’s not a cultivator, there are many legends about him. Once again, we’ve benefited from the expert’s fame.” ‘They were overcome with emotions. Then, a smile broke out on their faces when they looked at the Mirage Dragon’s corpse. Visible to the naked eye, there was a layer of unknown gray mist swirling around the corpse, exuding a sinister aura. “Quick, seal up the unknown gray mist!” said Cultivator Junjun quickly. This was their battle loot for the expert and it had to be properly stored. “Everyone, we’ll be taking all the unknown gray mist with us. I trust that there are no objections, right?” said Xiao Chengfeng to the other cultivators. “No, no, take it all!” “How could we take any when you’ve saved us twice?” “You were the ones who killed the Mirage Dragon, so it naturally belongs to you!” “You didn’t only suppress the Unknown, but also saved the world! The Floating Cloud Pavilion welcomes the Heavenly Palace anytime.”
