In the fourth battlefield, Xiaoming and Wenwen stood together and stared at the vivid vacuum and stone belts around them suspiciously, as well as Li Yao on the opposite side.
"This is … an illusionary space!"
After observing for a while, Xiaoming and Wenwen were both surprised and delighted. They exclaimed at the same time, "I didn't know that Dad's mental power was so strong that he could launch collective mental attacks on almost a hundred top experts at the same time. How awesome!"
"Exactly."
Li Yao smiled. "Now that you've seen through my moves, can you escape from my mental maze?"
Li Yao extended his hand and pointed at the space. Ripples that seemed to be real appeared in the vacuum. The ripples dispersed and turned into transparent walls, which interconnected and blocked each other, forming an invisible maze that enshrouded Xiaoming and Wenwen at the center.
Xiaoming's and Wenwen's crystal processors were squeaking as they were functioning at the maximum.
In their senses, the transparent maze turned into thousands of data, information, algorithms, and logic traps, which were changing at a speed of tens of millions of calculations per second.
"Then, let's have a try!"
Xiaoming exclaimed. "Wenwen, let's go!"
…
In the fifth battlefield, A Boxing Champion watched with great interest as Li Yao gathered all the stones and dust around into a gargantuan meteoroid giant almost a hundred meters tall.
"What's the big deal about such a thing?"
A Boxing Champion was amused. He punched out almost a thousand powerful fists like rapid-fire cannons and blew the meteoroid giant into smithereens.
However, black fog made of dust spread out from the body of the meteoroid giant. Like living vipers, the black fog crawled into his body through the gaps of his iron bones and slithered toward his crystal reactor and his crystal processor.
"Is it a crystal processor virus?"
A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras were glittering. "Li Yao, what kind of monster have you turned into?"
…
There was still the sixth battlefield, the seventh battlefield, the eighth battlefield, the ninth battlefield … the hundredth battlefield.
Li Linghai, Boss Bai, Meng Chixin, Wu Suiyun, and all the experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage of the Imperium and the Federation suffered Li Yao's mental attack at the same time and were unable to free themselves from the illusionary swirl.
Li Yao had been through a long and profound mental training in the illusions created by almost ten thousand primeval crystal processors. In the three thousand Sectors of the mortal world, he polished every side of his soul and developed almost a thousand different personalities. He also had a deeper understanding about the weaknesses of human nature, which allowed him to subtly capture the feelings, desires, desires, and weaknesses of every expert subtly and choose the form that could cut into the enemy's soul most easily, creating illusions that would make them drown in without them knowing it. Only Yan Liren, who had extremely strong willpower and keen intuition, or Xiaoming and Wenwen, who were in a unique life form, could have noticed it at the first moment.
No. Other than Yan Liren, Xiaoming, and Wenwen, there was one other person.
It was none other than Long Yangjun.
Long Yangjun was sitting cross-legged on a meteorite that was moving fast. Tilting her head and holding her cheek, she looked at the aggressive Li Yao on the opposite side suspiciously, as if she were deep in thought. Suddenly, she shook her head quickly and said to herself, "That's not right."
"What's not right?"
Li Yao on the opposite side grinned hideously. "Don't you want to beat me up to your heart's content? Then, let's fight!"
"That's not right at all."
Long Yangjun said, "With your personality, there shouldn't be any reason for you to stay where you are and be beaten up by a hundred ultimate experts. I thought that you were going to play the same trick again and run away. I didn't know that you were so tough all of a sudden. No, I don't believe it. This is not your style. No. No. Very wrong!
"Although you look no different from a moment ago, I still feel that something is wrong. Why did you separate everybody with furious fire so that we could not sense each other? Is it because your computational ability is not high enough, and you can only simulate the vivid environment but not the reactions of a hundred ultimate experts?
"Got it. It's the annoying illusions again, exactly the same as Lu Qingchen's."
Long Yangjun sniffed. Before Li Yao on the opposite side argued, translucent brilliance flashed in her eyes.
"Hu —"
She blew at the vacuum of space softly.
If it were a real vacuum, the breath would not have worked at all.
However, in this place, ripples that seemed to be made of crystals were spreading rapidly and corroding everything that could be corroded. The meteorites, the dust, the vacuum, and even Li Yao on the opposite side were all corroded and 'crystallized'!
The whole world immediately turned into a glittering world of crystals.
Long Yangjun snapped her fingers softly. The crystals collapsed abruptly and vanished into nothingness. They reappeared in the planetary ring in the real world.
The illusions that Li Yao had created through all the trouble were cracked by Long Yangjun so easily just like that.
Long Yangjun looked far away, with a vague smile on her lips.
As she expected, the furiously burning vulture and the fireball that separated all the ultimate experts were gone. Or rather, they had never existed in the first place.
Among the rushing meteoroids, the hundred ultimate experts were all immersed in the illusions, unable to free themselves. Some of them were waving their hands and feet crazily, fighting the enemies in their imagination. Some of them were dumbfounded and thinking hard for a way to crack the illusionary maze. Some of them were even fighting each other in pairs under Li Yao's guidance, thinking that their opponents were Li Yao.
The real Li Yao, on the other hand, was still crouching in the hollow of a gargantuan meteorite, but a lot of bizarre-looking magical equipment was floating next to him, connected to a glamorous metal hat on his head with thick cables. There were also countless devices that looked like loudspeakers and antennas that were releasing mental power incessantly.
"You can't be serious, can you?"
Long Yangjun frowned harder and harder. "This is just a friendly match. You've even resorted to magical equipment such as' brainwave magnifiers'. Do you have to be so … serious?"
While speaking, her nose twitched, as if she sensed something. She identified it for a long time, and her eyebrows couldn't have been more furrowed.
"I also sensed the residual waves after the crystal bombs exploded. There's no mistaking it. It was indeed one of your favorite crystal bomb formulas. Therefore, you did not blow up the meteoroids in the hundred square kilometers around with overwhelming spiritual pressure but planted a lot of crystal bombs in the area in advance, didn't you?"
Long Yangjun mumbled to herself and analyzed carefully, "Why did you do that? Got it. You intentionally created grand and dazzling sound and visual effects to attract everybody's attention and disrupt their senses so that your mental power could sneak into everybody's brain and launch mental attacks.
"Wait. Also, you've planted a lot of magical equipment such as' brainwave magnifiers' and 'mental power amplifiers' in the dozens of square kilometers around. It's essentially a local area network that belongs to you to enhance your ability to create illusions. Wow, Li Yao, not that I'm criticizing you, but is it really necessary?"
"You've seen through it, haven't you?"
Li Yao chuckled in embarrassment. Then he said matter-of-factly, "Of course it is necessary. This is the first time that I officially appear before the heroes of the world as a 'Divinity Branching Stage expert'. I will certainly be the target of everybody's attacks. If I can't beat everybody and get beaten up, won't it be quite humiliating? That's why I played a trick. Well, well, it's part of a battle to prepare for a rainy day. We are not real warriors with more brawn than brains! "
"Fine."
Long Yangjun sighed and admitted, "At the very least, the fact that you are willing to resort to such a sordid trick is already much better than what I imagined you would do under the disguise of the sound and visual effects and running away with your tail between your legs."
"How is it possible? This is the most critical exploration operation that concerns the future of the civilization of mankind. Don't be fooled by my naivety and naivety all the time. When have I ever screwed up in such an operation of paramount importance?"
Li Yao said solemnly, "I did that in order to slightly exaggerate my capability and intimidate the disobedient experts so that they will obey my orders in the exploration operation and will not act recklessly. Without the assistance of large-scale arrays of magical equipment, how could I have trapped a hundred top experts in illusions at the same time even if I had squeezed all my brain cells dry?
"Hey, I am the best expert in the Pangu universe after all, and for such a noble purpose, and I am your old friend too. Can you at least give me some face and cover for me?"
While they were talking, Li Yao had already stored all the odds and ends — the magical equipment such as "brainwave amplifiers" and "mental power amplifiers" — into his Cosmos Ring. He blew up the meteoroids below his feet and destroyed all the evidence.
Then, from Li Yao's chest to his throat, a deafening, thunderous roar echoed from his chest to his throat.
This rumble exploded in the minds of over a hundred intoxicated supreme experts at the same time, causing them to be horrified and wake up from the illusion one after another.
"Ah!"
The top experts looked at each other in bewilderment. It was not until a long time later that they realized what was going on. They could not help but feel that their internal organs were constricting, and their spines were freezing as if they were soaked in icy water.
"It's a mental attack. We've all been trapped in illusions!"
"What a terrifying ability to create illusions. Invading the brains of almost a hundred Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators on his own and causing serious interference and blockage. Is — is this the horror of the Divinity Branching Stage?"
"He — he did not use his full strength at all, did he? He did not prepare or perform any technique. He simply looked at us casually and made us fall into his trap without us knowing it? It's too terrifying, too tough, and too unbelievable! "
"The Divinity Branching Stage. The legendary Divinity Branching Stage is indeed immeasurable and irresistible!"
The experts, especially the Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium who were still suspicious about Li Yao's Divinity Branching Stage, looked at Li Yao in awe and fear.
