On the long, narrow isolated island, lightning flashed and thunder roared, the sky was dark and gloomy. The heavenly thunder continued relentlessly, and under the ravages of the Black Demonic Lightning, the isolated island was already a mess, scarred and devastated, but one Wild Grass stubbornly refused to die!
Zhao Li smiled and reached out towards the Wild Grass. Just then, an abnormality occurred!
Zhao Li felt an irresistible force coming from the Wild Grass. Immediately, it suddenly erupted with a dazzling stream of light. When it landed on Zhao Li, he felt the surrounding Space shifting. He subconsciously wanted to mobilize Spatial Energy, but the next moment, he had been teleported into the Dou Qi Continent. At the same time, something similar to Soul Power intruded into his Soul Power. Zhao Li was startled and prepared himself.
Then, he perceived that the Soul Power was like a mechanical, rigid thing. In front of him, it began to emotionally manipulate him, repeating one message: forget everything that came before and treat it as a vague dream.
When Zhao Li saw that the Soul Power was only trying to brainwash him and change his perception of having entered Chaos earlier, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, his vast Soul Power also suddenly enveloped it.
Although that power was strong, Zhao Li guessed it had likely reached the quality of an Emperor Realm Soul. But it was, after all, just one strand, like rootless duckweed. How could it be a match for Zhao Li? Soon, it became smaller and smaller, refined into a pure power that merged into Zhao Li's soul.
"There is no Chaos Qi in Chaos, and once you step into it, you will fall into a Grand Formation. Hmm, that initial Formation was actually able to make me fall into it silently. It was only when it suddenly transformed into Thunder that I had a chance to leave. Who left this Formation? And why was it set up?"
Having resolved the immediate matter, Zhao Li's brows furrowed. From everything that happened before, that Grand Formation did not seem to have killing intent; it was more like it was hiding something. Especially at the end, it only teleported him back to the Continent and tried to erase his memories of everything that came before.
It was because his Soul Power had already entered the Emperor Realm. If it were anyone else, they would probably have truly forgotten everything in Chaos. Even if they had vague memories, they would likely just treat it as a big dream.
Thinking of the illusory Continent he first saw, combined with the Outer Demons that had disappeared without a trace, a guess suddenly flashed through Zhao Li's mind:
"Could it be that the entire Dou Qi Continent is within a Formation? Because of the Formation's existence, the Outer Demons cannot find the Continent, but also because of the Formation's existence, it has isolated the Chaos Qi, so the World Origin can no longer convert into Emperor's Origin Qi?"
Zhao Li thought about how one needed at least Dou Sheng strength to enter Chaos. Combined with the Black Demonic Lightning within the Formation, if it were a normal Dou Sheng, although they would be uncomfortable, there wouldn't actually be a life-threatening danger. The worst-case scenario is that they might exhaust their strength under the Thunder. If that wasn't meant to kill the beings who fell into the Formation, but rather to knock them out and erase their memories...
It seemed that the Formation was both protecting the Continent and trying its best to hide itself.
"If my guess is correct, then even the scene on the Godfall Ice Plain can be explained. They didn't not want to conquer the Continent; they simply couldn't find it. It was only because of the sacrifice that a connection was established between the two places, and thus the Demon Emperor descended!"
The more Zhao Li thought about it, the more his many doubts seemed to be answered. It seemed that behind all those secrets, things were truly as he had guessed.
"Looks like I still need to run a few more times."
Zhao Li suppressed the guess in his heart, his figure flickered, and he once again entered Chaos. Those were just his guesses; without evidence to prove them, they were nothing. And the evidence, perhaps, was in Chaos.
This time, from the moment he left the Continent, Zhao Li consciously made markings and constantly paid attention to the surrounding changes.
Three days later, he once again entered a pitch-black area. Suddenly, he stopped and turned back, walking behind him. A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Li's expression darkened!
He had once again fallen into the initial Illusion Formation. The key was that he still didn't know when he had been ensnared by the Dao.
"Heaven and Earth are inherently incomplete; everything manifested cannot be perfect, and everything perfect cannot be manifested. I don't believe there is truly a perfect Formation in this world!"
During his previous trip to Chaos, Zhao Li had been ensnared by the Dao once. Although he vaguely knew it was a Formation, if it didn't change, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to detect the abnormality, let alone find a way to break the Formation. So this time, when he entered, he was extremely careful. Unfortunately, it was useless. It seemed that the Formation was completely beyond his understanding and could easily toy with him.
Zhao Li completely calmed down and began to carefully perceive, unwilling to let go of any detail!
Seven days later, Zhao Li felt the surrounding environment change. He opened his eyes, but did not see the isolated island from last time, nor the violent Thunder. What met his eyes was a scene of clouds and mist, like a celestial palace, a wondrous realm. He himself was seated high on a Dragon Throne, and below him was a huge mirror. The scene appearing in the mirror seemed somewhat similar to Great Li.
Zhao Li looked at the scene before him, which resembled the layout of the Heavenly Palace in the TV dramas he had watched. His heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but complain:
"What is this situation? High Heaven Palace? Sky-Gazing Mirror? This time, it should still be an Illusion Formation, right?"
Zhao Li knew immediately that the Formation outside had changed and had once again become this unknown Formation.
As he complained, a gentle voice sounded:
"Your Majesty, under your governance, the current Continent is a scene where Everyone is Like a Dragon."
Zhao Li looked, and the person was Hun Tiandi, but his Realm was no longer Dou Sheng, but Dou Di. Of course, this was just the Dou Di that Zhao Li had fantasized about in his perception.
"Hun Tiandi? What's wrong with you? With your temperament, you're actually willing to be under me and work hard for Great Li?"
Zhao Li found it unbelievable. Even if this was in an Illusion Formation, it was still a bit outrageous.
Hun Tiandi still had that refined appearance and smiled:
"What is Your Majesty saying? Before, my perspective was small and I didn't know how vast the world was. It was you who couldn't bear to see us perish like this and gave us a chance to break through to Dou Di and see a wider world."
Zhao Li was completely bewildered by what he heard. What was all this? Had the Illusion Formation malfunctioned? How was it not real at all? Turning the Continent's BOSS into this was very inconsistent.
So, Zhao Li began to look for the Formation's core, preparing to break the Formation. This Illusion Formation was too much; he was finding it difficult to cope.
Time flowed by. With Zhao Li's current level of Formation mastery, how could he find a flaw? Thus, within the Illusion Formation, he went mad, frantically attacking the new order he had spent countless efforts to establish. He became a tyrant, an object that several Dou Di existences sought to overthrow.
Unfortunately, within this Illusion Formation born from him, he was like a bug, easily suppressing everything. But even so, he still couldn't find a way to break the Formation. Zhao Li sighed:
"Indeed, this kind of straightforward method is more troublesome, a headache."
This Illusion Formation was clearly telling Zhao Li that everything was fake, but unfortunately, with Zhao Li's level of Formation mastery, he simply couldn't break it.
Seven days later, Zhao Li felt the surrounding environment change once again!
