Chapter 20 Killing the Giant Whale, Illusionary Warrior?
Ye Yang was overjoyed and immediately launched an attack with his mental power and divine sense that had entered the giant whale's sea of consciousness!
He had no inheritance of illusion techniques or soul attacks, nor had he learned any methods of spiritual attack in the Immortal Alliance.
But with just a barrage of mental punches, Ye Yang actually managed to suppress the giant whale's consciousness within its sea of consciousness!
Although the giant whale's mental power was at the ninth level of the apprentice level in terms of 'quality,' in terms of 'quantity,' it was worlds apart from Ye Yang's!
Unlike in the outside world, where only mental power can control objects and harm enemies, within his sea of consciousness, Ye Yang's mental power and divine sense can both cause damage!
Therefore, Ye Yang's mental power and divine sense combined are roughly at the ninth level.
Even if the giant whale's mental power was amplified by an extra layer in its sea of consciousness, Ye Yang's mental power amplitude was even higher, completely offsetting the amplification of the giant whale's sea of consciousness.
Furthermore, Ye Yang's mental power possesses the characteristics of divine sense, making it more manipulable and giving him a greater advantage.
In contrast, whales, perhaps because they were previously a species with low intelligence, have improved too quickly in a short period of time and have very poor willpower.
Therefore... under Ye Yang's mental offensive, the giant whale suffered repeated blows, painfully opening its mouth and trembling uncontrollably all over.
"A great opportunity!"
Everything happened in just half a second. Ye Yang immediately used his mental power to control a flying knife, which then pierced directly into the giant whale's mouth.
It attacks from the softest part of the body, takes a detour, and strikes the brain!
End its suffering early.
……
The sea gradually calmed down, but the blood-red water and the large number of floating corpses proved the fierce battle that had taken place beneath the surface.
"The whale has stopped struggling!"
"Is he/she dead?"
"Look! The whale's signal is rising!"
As the data from the sonar echoed back, the crew members on the helicopter all looked down at the sea.
In less than half a minute, a huge black shadow appeared from under the water, and then it went deeper and deeper, and the sea surface bulged slightly. Then a huge back broke out of the water!
The skin on its back was incredibly smooth and had a metallic sheen, giving it a very tough appearance.
But what's even more astonishing are the countless crisscrossing wounds on the skin's surface.
The wounds ranged in depth from one or two meters to several centimeters. One wound was repeatedly dug open, extending three or four meters deep, where the flesh had turned into a rotten mass.
The giant whale was only eighteen or nineteen meters wide, and the wound from the repeated attacks had already penetrated a quarter of its length.
A robust figure clad in battle armor stood firmly atop the giant whale carcass, as if representing humanity's resurgence to the pinnacle of the Earth!
The "Godzilla" that attacked Sun Island was so powerful that it terrified humanity. No conventional weapons could be used against it; instead, it destroyed a city, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries...
However... the image of super monsters being invincible without nuclear weapons was shattered just a few days later!
A powerful figure from China, the world's only mentalist, slew a ninth-tier whale monster in the deep sea! The entire process of this feat was recorded and will later be edited into a documentary, inspiring countless people to admire him.
"President Ye...you're truly amazing!"
"Slaying the super monster and defending the seas—truly worthy heroes of China!"
When Ye Yang returned to the deck of the warship, he saw that the captain and others were already waiting for him. They all looked shocked and a little reserved.
However, they, including the naval soldiers around them, also looked at Ye Yang with a hint of longing and anticipation.
"Everyone, this monster has reached the ninth level of strength, which should be comparable to the reptilian super monster that attacked Sun Island a few days ago. I was only able to defeat it by sheer luck."
"The strongest monster currently appearing on land is only at the sixth rank. The dangers lurking in the ocean far surpass those on land, and you who have been fighting on the front lines are the true heroes!"
Ye Yang modestly declined for a moment, then asked the captain to arrange an empty cabin and announced that he would be going into seclusion for a few hours.
The task of accumulating 50 Destiny Points has been completed!
Furthermore, now that Ye Yang has discovered the secret of his special telekinetic abilities, he needs to carefully consider how to proceed from here.
Between the sea and the sky, a white warship slowly towed the enormous whale carcass towards land.
……
The Celestial Alliance of Stars, in a dormitory building at Ziteng University.
Ye Yang opened his eyes, a smile on his face.
"I never imagined that the fusion of divine sense and mental power would create such a freakish power that ignores the suppression of the sea of consciousness."
Immortal cultivators also have a sea of consciousness, also known as the upper dantian, the Niwan Palace, or the spiritual platform.
Compared to the human martial artists of the Swallowed Star World, the cultivators on the Immortal Alliance side possess far stronger self-protection capabilities within their sea of consciousness. If it were a cultivator of the same level, forget about fighting within another's sea of consciousness; they couldn't even get close enough to penetrate it!
Unless it's a suppression of the soul realm and the cultivation of profound soul attack techniques, even if the realm is higher, at most the soul of the lower realm can be suppressed back to the head, making the person unable to move their body.
The ability of someone like Ye Yang to directly enter another person's sea of consciousness without any suppression is also a very peculiar and heaven-defying ability.
"The fusion of mental power and immortal divine sense has indeed reduced the power of mental manipulation by one level, but it has also significantly enhanced mental power in illusions and soul attacks. Especially the ability to ignore the suppression of the target's consciousness is an absolute powerhouse!"
"In the Devouring World, I first cultivated genetic martial arts, and then focused on mental power, because of the advantage of mental power masters in the early stages... even though the acquired mental power I forcibly cultivated by absorbing cosmic energy with my divine sense was somewhat inefficient."
"Now that I've discovered my true strengths, and I'm only at the apprentice level, just starting out, I can directly change my training direction!"
"Use illusion magic to deceive, or directly attack with mental power!"
"As for Immortal Martial Arts..."
Ye Yang hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Teacher Guo has helped me a lot with the 'Basic Breathing Method,' and given my current reputation and public perception of me, it would be very difficult to switch majors."
"I remember that in the original story, Hong eventually chose the 'Illusion Warrior' style. There are also powerful figures in the Immortal Alliance who cultivate the 'Illusory True' path, whose attacks can switch between illusion and reality, or combine the two, making them impossible to defend against."
"You can try to work in this direction and take it as a secondary major. If that doesn't work, you'll have to try to change your major."
Since it concerns his path to enlightenment, even though Ye Yang felt somewhat sorry for Instructor Guo, who had given him tremendous help, he had no choice but to abandon the path of immortal martial arts cultivation if it became a burden to him.
Of course, he will not forget Mr. Guo's kindness and gratitude.
"Why don't we go visit him first? And while we're at it, let's share the good news that I've completed the 50 Destiny Points quest, and ask him for advice on how to use those Destiny Points."
After Ye Yang completed the Basic Breathing Method with Guo Lao's help, he learned Guo Lao's identity before going into seclusion. Guo Lao also told Ye Yang his residence in the Purple Vine Realm, saying that if he wanted to ask him anything in the future, he could go directly to him.
Ye Yang set off immediately, casually collecting the 50 Destiny Points reward along the way.
[Rewards: 5 general credits, one choice of a fourth-tier immortal cultivation technique, and one opportunity to comprehend the Dao seed at the Inheritance Center]
