Chapter 1214 Old Deng, take care of him!
"How did you do that?" Sima Qing asked, puzzled. "I used the maximum power of my 'Evil Moon-Illuminating Eye' on you. Even if you have demigod-level mental strength, you shouldn't be able to resist it."
Ye Ge shrugged: "The strength of your Moon Eye Illusion has weakened a long time ago, didn't you notice?"
Sima Qing: "What?"
Night Song: "Use your Moon Eyes to look at the current situation in the Netherworld, and you'll understand."
Sima Qing paused for a moment, then raised his right hand and pressed it against his left eye, reconnecting with the Qiongqi's blood-red pupil in the sky.
The moment their vision was shared, his heart sank!
In the Netherworld, the illusionary force field that should have covered the world like a thick sea of blood has now become thin and dim!
He had clearly unleashed his maximum power, but the actual intensity of the illusion covering the battlefield was much weaker than it had been at the beginning!
"What's going on?" Sima Qing frowned, feeling incredulous.
He immediately activated his Moon Eye, rapidly expanding his field of vision to overlook the entire continent. He quickly discovered the problem:
Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Bingxin, Black Dragon King Gul's, Giant Father Tar, and several other leaders of the myriad races were scattered in several corners of the Evil Netherworld, each constructing a profound array! And at the core of each array was a huge, uniquely structured prism!
A significant portion of the bloody light emanating from Qiongqi's moon-like eyes was attracted, deflected, and absorbed by the strange power of those prisms! It was as if the light was being drawn by an invisible hand and merged into the mirrors, causing the thick bloody light illuminating the earth to become much thinner!
"What is that?" Sima Qing asked.
“The Illusion Prism Array.” Ye Ge explained to him leisurely, “Actually, it’s a kind of advanced technological device that my Xue’er invented. It was originally designed to enhance and focus the effects of large-scale illusions, but by simply reversing its principle, it can also disperse, guide, and weaken the power of wide-area illusions.”
Sima Qing: "......"
"Your massive illusion was simultaneously distributed to five different mirror array nodes, so its power was naturally weakened to one-fifth. Even if you forcibly increased the output power afterward, the overall effect was far less powerful than it was at the beginning."
Ye Ge smiled and said, "So, what do you think? My Xue'er is a genius, isn't she? Do you have a wife like that?"
Sima Qing: "......"
"Ah......"
Sima Qing remained silent for a long time before suddenly letting out a helpless sneer: "No wonder you split up after entering the Evil Netherworld. I thought you were going to find your own people... But, in the end, this kind of technological array can only temporarily weaken the coverage of the Qiongqi Illusion Technique by absorbing light, and it can't directly break the illusion, right?"
Ye Ge nodded: "Indeed, but a temporary weakening is enough."
"I understand. You want to awaken everyone and rescue them while the illusion weakens?" Sima Qing said. "But you probably didn't expect that you yourself would be dragged into the world of illusion, did you?"
“Oh no, I thought of that too.” Ye Ge looked at him leisurely, her eyes seemingly able to see through people’s hearts: “I thought that the person who controls the ghost god Qiongqi might be the chairman of the gene company. If he is the chairman, after he discovers that I have also entered the Evil Netherworld, he is very likely to target me first... After all, I know that you like me very much and have put 'getting rid of me' as a very high priority.”
Sima Qing's gaze sharpened, his eyes filled with scrutiny: "So, you deliberately fell for my illusion?"
“Yes.” Ye Ge glanced around the mental space and said, “Even if I’m dragged into this place by your illusion, I can stay conscious, like I’m in a lucid dream, and I can still confirm the true identity of the person controlling the ghost Qiongqi behind the scenes… that is, Chairman, you. Isn’t that great?”
Sima Qing sneered: "And then you prepared to ambush me with Holy Spirit True Fire."
“Yes.” Ye Ge smiled, “But I didn’t expect you to react so quickly, only burning half of your soul.”
Sima Qing: "So, it turns out I was outsmarted by you."
"You only schemed a little bit, didn't you?" Ye Ge raised her hand, making a tiny gesture with her thumb and forefinger, and then said, "Besides, weren't you scheming against me too? You didn't use Qiongqi's Moon Eye Illusion at its highest intensity from the beginning, wasn't that to lull me into a false sense of security, to make me misjudge the power of Qiongqi's Illusion, and to make me think that my normal mental strength was enough to resist it?"
"..."
Sima Qing remained silent for a long time before saying, "You are indeed very powerful, I have to admit. However, you still lost. Your sneak attack just now didn't kill me directly, so you've already lost."
Night Song: "What do you mean?"
"This place is my spiritual space connected to Qiongqi." Sima Qing's eyes were icy, radiating absolute control. "Even if you were dragged into this world and weren't controlled by illusions, this is still my territory. Do you think you can leave here unscathed now?"
As Sima Qing spoke, he raised his only remaining left hand and made a grasping motion in the air.
Ye Ge immediately felt a tightness under his feet!
The surging sea of consciousness below suddenly boiled, and countless pitch-black tentacles, formed from pure negative energy and malevolent aura, seemingly boiling but actually icy cold, burst open the "sea surface" and, like shackles from the abyss, tightly wrapped around his legs and waist!
The extreme cold instantly pierced his soul, attempting to freeze his actions and consciousness!
Sima Qing's remaining half of his soul slowly drifted to Ye Ge's side.
"As fellow beings who have descended, the strength of our soul essence is roughly the same."
"After I devour your soul, I can slowly repair my spirit."
Night Song: "..."
“Entering my mental space on your own initiative was the biggest and most fatal mistake you made,” Sima Qing said expressionlessly.
"Is that so?" Ye Ge's lips curled up slightly. "You didn't think I came here alone as a guest, did you?"
Sima Qing's expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly sensed a powerful holy force!
"Roar--!!!"
“Ouch——!!!”
Accompanied by a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry that shook the entire consciousness space, and a clear and melodious phoenix cry that pierced the clouds and burned away all evil spirits!
Behind Ye Ge, the void suddenly twisted! The Azure Dragon's massive, mountain-like azure dragon body, the White Tiger's silvery-white shadow radiating murderous aura, and the Vermilion Bird's magnificent form surrounded by inextinguishable holy flames—the grand souls of the three holy beasts appeared simultaneously!
The might of the sacred beast descended majestically, instantly suppressing the malevolent aura that filled the space!
Sima Qing's face instantly turned ashen. The massive shadows of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, the three sacred beasts, loomed over his tiny soul like towering mountains!
"Old Deng, senior, take care of him!"
Ye Ge's eyes were sharp.
"Ow!!!"
The white tiger, its killing intent at its peak, let out a deafening roar, raised its enormous tiger paw—enough to shatter mountains—and crushed it down upon the tiny Sima Qing!
