Before his voice faded away, Meng Chao's spine and limbs let out the sounds of waves crashing against the shore and thunder roaring.
Not only did his spine protrude out like a mountain, the bones in his limbs continued lengthening and expanding.
Dazzling spirit flames also shone from his skin, which was torn because it could not keep up with the speed at which his flesh and blood expanded. It was as if he was covered in layers of dragon scales.
One, two, three, four, five!
Five shining dragon meridians appeared on the surface of his skin.
They even seeped out of his body and turned into raging spirit energy waves that surrounded Meng Chao.
It was as if there were really five aquatic dragons that increased his might.
The Golden Tooth Bloody Soul in his hand resonated strongly with his vitality magnetic field and let out a tiger's roar.
Five huge dragon fangs protruded from the already fierce blade to form a sawtooth-like glare.
The Blood Jade Essence embedded in the blade was summoned by Meng Chao's indestructible will. It released all its spirit energy, which was as red as blood, and covered the five spirit energy aquatic dragons in a red that was as thick as fire.
At the tip of Golden Tooth Bloody Soul, a small ball of light quickly formed, expanded, and gathered together.
It was different from before. This time, there seemed to be five small aquatic dragons spinning swiftly in the faint golden ball of light.
Even the illusory space created by the wisdom tree around him could not withstand Meng Chao's peerless will. It let out sizzling sounds like ice being burned, and it started becoming rough and blurry at a visible speed.
The simple and crude signs of being pieced together between two similar "materials" on the wall were finally revealed.
"This is it!"
Meng Chao's lips curled up into a confident smile. He held the super heavy saber that was surrounded by five dragon-shaped flames, and his voice was thunderous as he shouted, "Come on!
The five spirit flames fused perfectly with the rampaging spirit energy from the Blood Jade Essence hidden in the depths of the saber. They turned into an unstoppable saber glare that cut through the gap between two similar walls.
At that moment, the entire illusion seemed to have frozen.
The black flood formed by thousands of undead creatures instantly froze. It was covered in a layer of gray, as if it had turned into a stone that had been eroded for a long time.
From the center of the ruins of the Peach Blossom Town in the distance, the Wisdom Tree's incomparably mournful screams could be heard.
It seemed to have suffered a backlash from Meng Chao and Lu Siya, and its spirit cried out and was heavily injured, if it really had a soul.
"Illusion? Break! "
Meng Chao poured all his strength into the saber hilt.
His entire body melted into the Gold Tooth Blood Soul Saber. Like a shield tunneling machine that was a mixture of bright gold and deep red, he dug deeper into the wall in thunderous noises.
An incredible scene played out!
The seemingly indestructible and incredibly thick mountain rock was like black glass that only had a surface to it. It cracked as Meng Chao shouted.
As the spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly in all directions, dazzling rays of light exploded from behind the "rock wall."
It was as if they were in a clumsy and flimsy studio, but they were not aware of it.
At that moment, Meng Chao finally managed to poke a hole in the studio!
At the instant the "rock wall" completely collapsed, Meng Chao and Lu Siya felt their bodies become lighter.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya felt their bodies become light. The ground under their feet cracked, and it was as if they had fallen into a sinkhole. They tasted endless weightlessness and fell into a bottomless abyss.
But this time, they realized what the problem was.
The "endless weightlessness" was just someone interfering with their vestibular organs and central nervous system to create the illusion of falling from a high altitude.
If they were used to it, they would be defeated by it.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya held each other's hands in the air and sensed each other's heat and determination.
Their brainwaves were synchronized, and they provided feedback to each other. They stimulated each other, and their minds became clearer.
Soon, they broke free of the weightlessness.
They also broke free of the paradise between heaven and hell and breathed in their first breath of fresh air in the real world.
Both of them noticed that in the real world, they were bound by messy vines and hung in the air.
The vines were as soft as the tentacles of a jellyfish. They were covered in spikes, and quite a number of them pierced deep into their bodies. They connected to their nerve clusters and injected liquid with hallucinogenic and numbing properties into their bodies.
It turned out that the wisdom tree's illusion had been implanted in their brains through this method.
Both of them stretched their limbs with all their might and uprooted countless vines before tearing them apart inch by inch.
Then, hot spirit flames shot out of their pores and burned the squirming vines to ashes.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya relied on maglev to stand in the air. Once they confirmed that the other party was right in front of them and that they were safe, they finally sighed in relief.
When they looked around, they noticed that they were not the only ones bound by the vines.
When they were observing from the edge of the sinkhole, they saw that the depths of the sinkhole were filled with crisscrossing vines. There were also moss, fungi, weeds, shrubs, branches, and colorful mushrooms attached to the vines. Together, they formed an intricate jungle in the sky.
At that moment, hundreds of exploration team members were like them just now. They were bound by countless vines and hung in the jungle in the air.
Many of them had hundreds of vines coiled around their bodies, wrapping them up tightly like a giant cocoon.
Aside from vines, some of them also had moss that was as thick as fungi. It practically covered their faces.
On some of them, the vines, branches, and moss secreted a layer of translucent, semi-gelatinous, and semi-liquid sap, which looked like some sort of … neurogenic fluid. It smeared on their every nerve node evenly, turning them into glittering wax statues.
Wrapped by the vines, fungi, and sap, the exploration team members were sleeping like exhausted babies.
But their eyeballs trembled violently and spun rapidly.
Their expressions would occasionally change from terror to delight, as if they were immersed in a state between heaven and hell at the same time.
Their limbs were bound by thorny vines, and they were twisted to make all sorts of movements.
There were even vines with thorns that could secrete strong acids and venomous liquids that pulled their skin back and forth, simulating the effect of "heavily wounded".
They used real damage to increase the realism of the undead's attacks in the illusion.
It was no wonder then why the exploration team members were trapped in the nightmare and could not get out of it.
No, perhaps to some people, it was not a nightmare …
Meng Chao noticed that while most of the exploration team members were gritting their teeth and flailing their arms as if they were fighting with all their might, there were a small number of exploration team members whose expressions and movements had relaxed.
They looked pious, and while the vines pulled at them, they prostrated themselves on the ground and mumbled under their breath, as if they were worshiping the wisdom tree in the illusion.
By the looks of it, the mind virus implanted in their brains by the wisdom tree was starting to take effect.
'I have to immediately locate the wisdom tree's main body and get rid of this bewitching thing!'
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and activated his super vision to the max.
Not only could he see the feedback from the visible light around him, he could also see all sorts of information from invisible light, biological heat, and the radiation from spirit ores.
It was not easy to hypnotize hundreds of veteran superhumans who had gone through hundreds of battles at the same time.
To maximize the efficiency of neural information exchange and maintain the authenticity and stability of the illusion, the wisdom tree's main body could not be too far away from the exploration team members.
Besides, it had suffered a mental backlash from Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
The damage to one's spirit would definitely be very strong in the real world.
Just as he expected, Meng Chao soon noticed that rustling sounds came from the spot where the vines and branches were the densest under the exploration team members' feet. He also heard what sounded like broken brain waves along with powerful and painful mental ripples.
"Caught you!"
Meng Chao smiled and raised his hand. The golden chain wrapped around his arm moved like an aquatic dragon. It dragged Golden Tooth Bloody Soul, and it shone with a golden light.
While he was in the illusion, the enemy did not try to steal Golden Tooth Bloody Soul.
That was only natural.
Once a superhuman reached Heaven Realm, their vitality magnetic fields and the crystals and runic symbols embedded in their main weapons could resonate in a profound manner, which was similar to a blood connection.
Their main weapons were nourished with spirit energy every day and infused with their thoughts, so they were basically extensions of their limbs.
Besides, Golden Tooth Bloody Soul was a divine weapon. The saber and Meng Chao's body contained a lot of energy from the Red Radiance Jades. The saber was also chained tightly around Meng Chao's arm.
If the enemy wanted to steal Golden Tooth Bloody Soul, Meng Chao would definitely be stimulated and snap out of the illusion.
Perhaps the enemy thought that as long as they brainwashed Meng Chao in the double illusion, no matter how many divine weapons he had, he would end up as the monster civilization's puppet.
But they did not expect that Meng Chao would be able to break free of the double illusion.
The Golden Tooth Bloody Soul Saber, which seemed to be being burned by invisible flames and was letting out squeaks of hunger, became the talisman that hastened his death.
Meng Chao roared, and Golden Tooth Bloody Soul turned into a golden whirlwind that tore apart all the vines and branches around him.
He deactivated the maglev power and, with the help of gravity, dove down in the direction where the vines were the densest and where the rustling sounds were coming from.
The wisdom tree seemed to have noticed that a disaster was about to befall it.
It tried its best to control countless vines and branches to lash Meng Chao like burning whips with spikes.
There were also countless monstrous insect-type monsters and arthropod-type monsters among the vines and branches. There were spiders that were bigger than basins, centipedes that were as thick as pythons, bees with mouthparts that were as sharp as blades, Golden Scythe, a praying mantis that could cut through motorized armor with one slash, eyes that were as bright as those of Apocalyptic Beasts, and butterflies that could release hallucinogenic powder …
But as Meng Chao roared like a flash flood, the pests were swept into the golden whirlwind like the vines and branches. They were first torn to shreds before they were instantly burned to ashes. The next moment, the ashes were reduced to powder!
