Chapter 1019

Very quickly, the few God Race beings that left brought back a few demon spirits.

Among them were the Owl and two other Class A Spirit that Su Ping had only seen in the illustrated books provided by the Loulan family.

"I can't believe they caught Class A Spirits so easily. Even if they are capable of doing so, how can there be so many Class A Spirits nearby? According to the records of the Loulan family, it would be 'lucky' to run into even one Class A Spirit."

Su Ping shook his head with a smile. He knew that it was an illusion but it still felt too fake.

Of course, he had just learned the Way of the Void. As long as it wasn't too fake, he could still turn it into reality.

He could turn the illusory spirits into real nutrients. The source and composition of such nutrients were the deepest secrets of the Ocean of Void.

Su Ping didn't hesitate. He quickly absorbed the few spirits.

The spirits turned into smoke-like energy that flowed into his body. Su Ping felt his mind becoming clearer and calmer and his willpower firmer. The gods in front of him seemed to have become clearer.

"I can't believe I'm still in the illusion. If I were in the real world, my willpower would be able to see through the illusion. They would only become blurry. Is it because I'm still in the illusion? But …"

Su Ping closed his eyes. Something seemed to have changed in his body.

When Su Ping closed his eyes, the gods in front of him changed their expressions.

Previously, the gods had sneered and disdainfully at Su Ping's question. But at the moment, their expressions had changed. They were solemn and serious.

"It's his first time here and he has mastered the Way of the Void. It seems that we have underestimated this inheritor."

"He is indeed the chosen one. His power of understanding is rare."

"Looks like he doesn't need our protection to survive here. He'll be fine as long as he doesn't approach the battlefield in the inner region."

The gods that had helped Su Ping hunt the wild beasts were pleased. They had been disappointed in Su Ping before, but after seeing the changes in Su Ping, they seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.

"It's time for us to join the battle," the old lady in the middle said softly with a kind face.

The gods around her put on solemn expressions and gazed at Su Ping. None of them objected to her words.

"We have to buy him some time. There's still hope," a god said in a low voice. He stared at Su Ping and clenched his fists.

The other gods didn't deny that Su Ping's change had given them confidence and strength to persevere.

"Joanna, I'll leave this place to you," the old lady said softly.

Joanna, who was standing in front of Su Ping, was surprised. She looked at Su Ping and shook her head a moment later. The look in her eyes was as gentle as water, a look that Su Ping had never seen before. She said softly, "He can protect himself now. He doesn't need me. I have to do something for him …"

The old lady looked at her and felt her determination. She said no more, "Let's go!"

The eyes of the gods became sharp and their bodies became blurry.

Su Ping slowly opened his eyes when their bodies became blurry. Indeed, there was nothing in front of him. The gods were gone. Su Ping heard their conversation when they left. After all, it was an illusion constructed by his subconscious. Even if he covered his ears or cultivated to the point of forgetfulness, those voices would still appear in his mind.

"My perception has reached 30 meters …" Su Ping sensed the thick fog around him. The fog was darker than when he first came in, but his perception was ten times better than before!

"When I leave this place, not even the Ascendant State will be able to invade my consciousness at will," Su Ping said to himself.

Su Ping looked at the disappearing gods and thought about what they had said when they left. He shook his head and felt a bit ashamed. Did he always like to listen to people flatter him subconsciously?

"Perhaps, this is the deepest part of human nature. Acting cool like the wind, always remember it."

Su Ping shook his head. Either way, he was strong enough to protect himself in that place.

Not only could Su Ping digest and absorb fictitious demon spirits as if they were real entities, but he could also fabricate something himself and turn it into a real entity to fight!

The strength of Phantom Dao depended on the strength of his willpower!

"Disperse!"

Su Ping suddenly shouted.

The fog seemed to have received an order. It began to tremble. Then, the dark fog dispersed, revealing an empty area in front of Su Ping.

"Demon spirits like fear. It's a pity that I can't force myself to be afraid, but …" Su Ping summoned a figure with his mind. It was the Dark Dragon Hound.

But it wasn't the Dark Dragon Hound that Su Ping had summoned from the contract space; he had created it.

The Dark Dragon Hound could only exist in the Ocean of Illusions and rely on the energy and environment there. In the outside world, Su Ping wouldn't be able to materialize something with his willpower alone, unless he could create a world similar to the Ocean of Illusions.

"Fear!"

Su Ping remembered the Dark Dragon Hound fleeing in panic in the cultivation sites. Every time it encountered a terrifying opponent, the Dark Dragon Hound would be the first to run, but Su Ping would drive it back and force it to face its fear.

Soon, the Dark Dragon Hound was trembling in fear.

Su Ping observed the surroundings. The fog, which had been calm a moment ago, suddenly began to fluctuate. At first, the fluctuation was slight, but it soon became more intense.

However, after a brief moment, the fog quieted down.

Before Su Ping could investigate further, a streak of dark light dashed out from the fog next to him. It was a Monster Spirit that looked like an octopus. It was waving its sharp claws as it went after the Dark Dragon Hound.

Su Ping had already sensed the movement in the fog. He slashed at the Monster Spirit with his will.

Bang!

The Monster Spirit was cut in half. The sword aura turned around and cut the Monster Spirit into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Su Ping raised his hand and absorbed the Monster Spirit. According to the Loulan family's handbook, this was a Class B Infiltrating Claw Monster Spirit.

Su Ping's willpower improved again after absorbing the Monster Spirit; his perception range was increased by one meter.

Su Ping didn't stop there. He continued to fish for Monster Spirits with the Dark Dragon Hound's fear.

Su Ping had mastered the Way of Void in the Sea of Illusions. If he wanted to leave, he could travel a thousand miles in an instant. He could fabricate rules there; as long as they didn't exceed his willpower, he could use them at will. He was invincible!

Even if I run into an Ascendant State warrior, they won't be able to defeat me if they haven't mastered the Way of Void. Su Ping was very confident.

As the Dark Dragon Hound continued to spread its fear, more and more demonic spirits appeared in the fog. To Su Ping's surprise, most of them were at the B Rank and a few were at the C Rank. As for the weaker D Rank ones, they were as rare as the S Rank ones. Su Ping had a bad feeling about them.

The only thing he could trust was the information he had received outside the Sea of Illusions.

He believed that the information given to him by the Loulan family couldn't be false. That meant that he was in a relatively deep part of the Sea of Illusions.

The strength of the Monster Spirits around him could indicate where he was.

That was probably the only way he could confirm his coordinates in the Sea of Illusions.

The Monster Spirits are at the periphery, but I ran into a big guy as soon as I came in. I don't know if the big guy at the beginning was real or not, but I think I'm a bit deep in.

Is it possible that my location is random after I enter the door? But the Loulan family didn't say anything about that.

The color of the fog isn't right either. It's a thin fog during the calm period, but it's black at the moment …

While hunting for Monster Spirits, Su Ping kept an eye on his surroundings. He would retreat as soon as something went wrong. He had a hunch, but he couldn't confirm it.

Time passed by. As the Dark Dragon Hound continued to unleash its fear, more and more powerful Monster Spirits were attracted. Occasionally, there would be Class A Monster Spirits.

Su Ping practiced with the Class A Monster Spirits. He realized that killing them was still a piece of cake for him, since he could even tear them apart from the inside with the Void Dao.

As Su Ping killed more and more Monster Spirits, his willpower was also improving. His perception range had increased from over thirty meters to over seventy meters.

That was more than twenty times that of when Su Ping first entered!

At that moment, Su Ping felt like he was dreaming. But the Void Dao was the navigation in his mind. With it, Su Ping was able to stay awake and not doubt himself.

Not even the cultivation sites can compare to this speed of improvement! Su Ping thought.

If the Ocean of Illusions were to be listed as a cultivation site by the system, Su Ping believed that it would be ranked as a top-tier cultivation site, just like the Archean Divinity!

After all, it was a place that not even the Supreme Warriors could fully explore.

Those Supreme Warriors must have mastered the Void Dao. Even the Supreme Warriors and the Void Dao were unable to explore this place. The Ocean of Illusions is more complicated than I thought!

"In the Loulan Family's Demon Spirit Encyclopedia, the highest is only an SSS rank demon spirit. However, there's a piece of information. Above SSS rank demon spirits, there's another kind of terrifying existence. However, that kind of existence rarely appears. You might only encounter it once every few thousand years. But every time you encounter it, you'll definitely die!"

The reason I knew about the existence of that creature was because a Supreme Warrior had left it behind. That Supreme Warrior was one of the few that had died in the Ocean of Illusions.

Even though he had mastered the Void Dao, Su Ping didn't dare to be careless. After all, the Ocean of Illusions was a place where even Supreme Warriors could die. It was also one of the most dangerous Mysterious Realms in the Federation. The Ocean of Illusions was just as dangerous as the Ninth Depth!

While Su Ping hunted and was about to increase his perception range to a hundred meters, the dark fog suddenly surged. This time, all the dark fog was surging. Then, the dark fog surrounded Su Ping, making his hair flutter in the wind.

Behind the black fog, there seemed to be something stirring up the black fog. It also seemed like something huge was rushing towards this place and scattering the black fog.

"What is it?"

Su Ping's expression changed. He quickly told the Dark Dragon Hound to stop spreading its fear. At the same time, he disappeared from the area and reappeared thousands of meters away.

"Why are you still here?"

Su Ping heard a voice as soon as he reappeared. It was the mysterious young man who had fought against the Dark Dragon Spirit.

However, Su Ping didn't see him; he could only hear his voice in the thick fog. The voice seemed to be coming from somewhere far away, beyond the range of his perception.

Is it because his willpower has been strengthened that his illusions can't appear in front of me? Is it because of his enhanced willpower? Su Ping wondered.

While he was thinking, the mysterious young man quickly said, "Leave now. You'll be discovered if you're affected by the battle in the inner area!"

"Who are you?"

Su Ping couldn't help but ask, even though he knew that the young man was making things up.

He wanted to know why he had made up this mysterious young man.

The young man's eyes were always burning with fighting spirit, as if he would never admit defeat. Su Ping believed that he would never forget this young man if he ever met him.

"You can call me Heaven Killer!"

The mysterious young man said, "We will meet again in the future. You must survive. You carry all our hopes!"

"Heaven Killer?" Su Ping found the name familiar.

It wasn't hard to tell that the mysterious young man was a horrifying being who had surpassed the Supreme Stage.

After all, the Supreme Stage didn't dare to speak ill of the heavens!

"Let's go!"

Before Su Ping could say anything else, the mist began to surge. Then, Su Ping felt a force pushing him away into the distance.

That force was very real. Su Ping couldn't help but be shocked. Was the mysterious young man not an illusion?

But soon, Su Ping noticed that the black fog was pushing him away. That force didn't come from the mysterious young man, but from the thick fog. It was like a man talking to himself in the middle of a torrent, feeling that someone was pushing him.

Pushed by the fog, Su Ping felt a stinging pain in his head. The fog seemed to have turned into countless sharp needles stabbing into his head. He had the urge to force his thoughts out of his body.

The pain was so intense that it made people want to run away.

But it was only his thoughts that could escape!

"This fog, this feeling …" Su Ping was horrified. That was the black tide recorded by the Loulan family. The consciousness would be separated from the Sea of Consciousness when being washed away by the black tide. To put it simply, it was the soul that went through the door and reached the Sea of Illusions. The soul contained the consciousness. The consciousness could leave the soul but once it left, it would be difficult to come back!

Without the protection of the soul, the consciousness could be swallowed by the black tide at any time!

The Federation even speculated that the black tide was the energy that had been turned into by the consciousness that had been swallowed. The black tide could be assimilated!

"Damn it. This isn't an illusion. Is something happening behind the door?" Su Ping pulled a long face. He couldn't stay any longer. Even though he had mastered the Way of the Void, he couldn't be arrogant enough to wander around the Sea of Illusions during the dangerous period of the black tide. It wasn't a place he could explore at the moment.

"Let's go!"

"Send him away!"

"They seem to have sensed something!"

Some voices came from the fog. Those voices weren't far away from Su Ping, but he couldn't see them beyond the range of his senses.

At the same time, Su Ping felt a force pushing him forward, like a pair of hands.

He flew away uncontrollably at a high speed, as if he were sitting on a rocket. The fog passed by him, making Su Ping feel as if his soul had left his body.
