Chapter 290 - The Fear Brought by the Illusion Island Master

After his strength reached the Heavenly Emperor realm, Qin Shuang used the Space-Time Pearl to travel through one universe after another.

During this period, he witnessed dazzling magic, ferocious fighting spirit, brilliant flying swords, magnificent immortal techniques, and more.

Qin Shuang had killed demonic beasts, eaten divine beasts, been chased by sword immortals, and emerged unharmed amidst a sky full of immortal techniques.

These worlds greatly broadened Qin Shuang's horizons.

However, in the end, Qin Shuang returned to the Starry Sky Universe.

This was because, compared to the monotonous cultivation paths in other universes, the Starry Sky Universe could be described as a vibrant garden with a hundred flowers blooming and a thousand beauties competing.

Furthermore, as his strength increased, Qin Shuang discovered that the beings in other universes were all destined to move in a specific direction, similar to how "Heaven" and the "Chosen One" operated during certain periods.

"Heaven" was like a net, and the beings within it were like "flying insects" trapped in the net; no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the net woven by "Heaven."

However, "Heaven" in the Starry Sky Universe only influenced a portion of people during a brief period of tens of millions of years. After that, the so-called "Heaven" never appeared again.

At the same time, the "Heavenly Dao" in the Starry Sky Universe merely recorded the laws created by beings. When a certain number of beings sincerely wished or prayed for a miracle, it would fulfill their desires based on their mental energy.

The saying "The heart of man is the heart of Heaven" was not an exaggeration in the Starry Sky Universe.

If all the beings in the Starry Sky Universe sincerely prayed, their immense collective prayers could even slay Hong Meng Beings.

Therefore, Qin Shuang wholeheartedly agreed with this "Second Uncle."

A person who could give all beings in the universe a glimmer of hope could not be a bad person.

Indeed, in fact, all Hong Meng Beings had transcended the concepts of "good and evil." To define Hong Meng Beings using the "good and evil" perspectives of beings in the universe was too narrow-minded.

However, while Hong Meng Beings lacked good and evil, beings had good and evil before they became Hong Meng Beings.

Based on their actions before becoming Hong Meng Beings, Hong Meng Beings could still be divided into two inclinations: orderly and chaotic.

The reason for calling them "inclinations" was that even an orderly Hong Meng Being, when angered, could commit world-annihilating acts.

Conversely, chaotic Hong Meng Beings also enjoyed living in orderly environments.

In fact, many orders were born from chaos.

Putting aside these useless thoughts, Qin Shuang began his cultivation.

At the same time, he was also looking forward to the special training from his "Second Uncle" in tens of millions of years.

Qin Shuang's Body Tempering Stance, besides regular cultivation, allowed for improvements during combat that were dozens of times faster than ordinary dedicated cultivation.

Therefore, over these tens of millions of years, Qin Shuang had become a battle maniac in the Hong Meng Realm.

Basically, every Hong Meng Being had fought Qin Shuang at least three times.

And Qin Shuang had earned his reputation in the Hong Meng Realm.

Among the thousands of Hong Meng Beings, even the powerful ones who had transcended from the Starry Sky Universe and cultivated their Hong Meng Body to a solidified state could not break through Qin Shuang's defenses, let alone injure him.

Third-level Hong Meng Controllers could fight Qin Shuang on even terms with the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body, but once Qin Shuang unleashed his Jin Qi, he could easily defeat them.

Only Second-level Hong Meng Controllers could truly contend with Qin Shuang.

However, it was still very difficult for Qin Shuang to defeat a Second-level Hong Meng Controller.

This was because the ten Second-level Hong Meng Controllers were all super powerhouses who had transcended from the Starry Sky Universe. Each of them had cultivated their Hong Meng Body to the solidified state and then used Xuanhuang Qi to cultivate the Second-level Xuanhuang Indestructible Body. Their strength was qualitatively different from that of Third-level Hong Meng Controllers.

Qin Shuang could defeat Ninisha, Theresia, Us, and Nimo, and draw with Bowen and Leiding, but he lost to Vivian, Utred, and Off.

As for Tina, who ranked first among the Second-level Hong Meng Controllers, Qin Shuang couldn't even see her; they had never fought.

Lilia, who was a level above, heavily injured Qin Shuang with just one move, a gap so vast that Qin Shuang felt as if he had fallen into a dream.

...

Within Roy's Heavenly Palace, it was the most peaceful among the four Level One Hong Meng Controllers.

Linley's and Qin Yu's Heavenly Palaces housed their families and some servants.

Even Hong Meng had used his ability to create life to create several Hong Meng Being servants.

Only in Roy's Heavenly Palace had there been only him from beginning to end.

However, today, a second person's figure appeared in Roy's Heavenly Palace.

Looking at the red-haired girl before him, Roy's lips curved into an expression of uncertainty, whether it was happiness or a wry smile.

Who would have thought that his disciple would give him such a great surprise?

"Tina, the ten million years have passed. Go and bring that kid back."

"However, it's also thanks to Qin Shuang that this Hong Meng Realm has gained so much vitality."

Tina smiled slightly after receiving Roy's command.

"Yes, Teacher."

The next moment, Tina shattered like bubbles, as if she had never appeared in Roy's Heavenly Palace.

Roy, meanwhile, sat before the stone table, looking up at the sky of the Heavenly Palace.

"I didn't expect Tina to have reached this point already..."

"She truly gave me a big surprise..."

The Hong Meng Beings of the Hong Meng Realm generally cultivate in their own territories.

Qin Shuang's countless spars over the past ten million years have brought a lot of excitement to the Hong Meng Realm.

At the very least, everyone has a more accurate understanding of their own strength.

Setting aside the four supreme Lords, Liliah, the Reincarnation Island Master, who could heavily injure Qin Shuang with a single move, is undoubtedly the strongest among all Hong Meng Beings.

Below them, the Ten Great Second-level Hong Meng Controllers live up to their reputation, with a significant gap in strength between each of them and the Third-level Hong Meng Controllers.

Even Qin Shuang, who had swept through all Hong Meng Beings below the Second-level Hong Meng Controllers, could only barely rank within the top five among the Ten Great Second-level Hong Meng Controllers.

Bowen and Leiding are not inferior to Qin Shuang in strength.

There is some debate regarding the Third-level Hong Meng Controllers.

Undeniably, Third-level Hong Meng Controllers are significantly more powerful than ordinary Hong Meng Beings.

After all, the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body, even at the Third-level, cannot be compared to ordinary Hong Meng Bodies.

Not to mention that Hong Meng Controllers also have the augmentation of the Universe.

However, Hong Meng Beings who have generally mastered the Solidified Hong Meng Body are no weaker than Third-level Hong Meng Controllers.

It's just that, outside of the Hong Meng Controllers, very few Hong Meng Beings have managed to cultivate the Solidified Hong Meng Body.

Among nearly five thousand Hong Meng Beings, excluding those who have already become Hong Meng Controllers, fewer than five have cultivated the Hong Meng Body to its highest stage.

Below the Third-level Hong Meng Controllers are those who have cultivated the Second-level Liquefied Hong Meng Body. The number of people in this group is not small, approximately nearly a thousand.

Further down are the most numerous Hong Meng Beings.

Their strengths are not significantly different; even if there are distinctions in power, the battles between them offer advantages, but not by a large margin.

After all, they are all the same type of Hong Meng Beings, and the Laws they use do not exceed the boundaries of Hong Meng Laws. It is not difficult to determine a winner, but they cannot achieve a decisive battle to the death with their abilities.

At this moment, almost eighty percent of the Hong Meng Beings are looking up at the sky.

There, two figures are engaged in a fierce battle.

With their current strength, they generally cannot clearly see the scene of the combatants' engagement. At most, they can only see shattered spaces and the residual shockwaves after brief clashes between the combatants.

However, every Hong Meng Controller is a powerful being who has integrated the Space-Time Law. Although their Space-Time Power plays no significant role during Qin Shuang's battles, it is perfectly suited for observation.

Thus, these observing Hong Meng Beings all used the Time Law to accelerate their own time, keeping pace with the battle rhythm of the two figures in the sky.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Loud noises echoed through the sky of the Hong Meng Realm.

Each sound was accompanied by large swathes of spatial fragmentation.

"Hahaha, Qin Shuang, your strength has improved remarkably quickly!"

Bowen laughed heartily, emanating Xuanhuang-colored light, and powerfully clashed with Qin Shuang, who was radiating white light.

Since creating the Law of "Power," Bowen's strength has soared among the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods, making him a super expert who is no less than his elder brother, the Azure Dragon.

Even his second and third brothers, Us and Nimo, are no longer his opponents.

Only his eldest brother, Leiding, who commands the Water Law with the Law of Dragon, can barely defeat him by a small margin.

However, Qin Shuang's progress has been too rapid.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Qin Shuang could only fight him to a draw.

After tens of thousands of years, Bowen felt he could barely withstand Qin Shuang's attacks.

"As expected of someone valued by Fifth Brother. My brothers and I have reached a point where there is no further path for our strength, yet Qin Shuang continues to improve at a high speed."

"Perhaps in another tens of thousands of years, I will no longer be his match!"

Not to mention Bowen, everyone else observing was also shocked by Qin Shuang's progress.

"Judging by the current battle situation, the Power Island Master, Bowen, is already at a disadvantage."

"I truly envy Qin Shuang. Despite his formidable strength, his rate of improvement hasn't slowed down."

"Looking at Qin Shuang's progress, do you think he might add another floating island beneath Lord Roy's Heavenly Gate?"

Soon, this question became the focal point of many Hong Meng Beings' discussions.

"I think it's very possible. If Qin Shuang can maintain his current rate of improvement, he might surpass the Ten Great Second-level Hong Meng Controllers and reach the level of the Reincarnation Island Master within one Yanjì."

"I'm not so sure."

"I heard that the Reincarnation Island Master is a super expert who has integrated five Laws. Even with Qin Shuang's strength, the probability of him matching the Reincarnation Island Master is very low."

Most Hong Meng Beings integrated the Space-Time Law into their own Laws, opened up their internal worlds, and controlled World Power before entering the Hong Meng Space to become Hong Meng Beings.

Based on their own experiences, integrating each additional Law can increase their strength by more than ten thousand times.

They are all experts who have integrated three Laws, making them more than a hundred million times stronger than those who have just begun their immortal path.

The Reincarnation Island Master has integrated two more Laws than them. This means that in front of Liliah, the Reincarnation Island Master, they are comparable to those fledgling cultivators who have just begun their immortal path in front of them; they are so weak that they fear being extinguished with a mere puff of breath.

Qin Shuang was indeed very strong, and his progress was rapid. However, at most, Qin Shuang was only tens of thousands of times stronger than them, and still tens of thousands of times weaker than the Reincarnation Island Master.

All the Hong Meng Beings were watching the battle between Qin Shuang and the Power Island Master Bowen, while hotly discussing whether Qin Shuang would become the second Reincarnation Island Master.

However, none of them knew that Qin Shuang, the focus of everyone's discussion, was looking at everyone in a daze, not understanding what was happening.

In Qin Shuang's eyes, Island Master Bowen was fiercely attacking an empty space, as if someone was truly fighting him.

The clashes of power and the shattering of space were not much different from when Qin Shuang fought Bowen.

The reactions of the Hong Meng Beings spectating around Qin Shuang also made him feel as if another him was fighting Island Master Bowen.

This made Qin Shuang wonder if he was the only one who couldn't see the person fighting Island Master Bowen.

But Bowen Island Master was fighting him, so when did he change opponents?

Just as Qin Shuang was feeling confused, an unfamiliar voice sounded in front of him.

"You are Qin Shuang? Lord Roy wishes to see you, come with me."

Qin Shuang looked up and saw a woman with a cold expression, her fiery red hair casually flowing behind her. She wore a dress interwoven with red and gold patterns, exuding an aura of noble indifference.

"This..."

Qin Shuang glanced at his surroundings, then at the unfamiliar woman before him.

Lord Roy, Qin Shuang knew that was his second martial uncle's name.

As early as ten million years ago, his father had reminded him that his second martial uncle would come to teach him after ten million years.

However, his battle with Island Master Bowen wasn't over yet.

Would it be inappropriate to go see his second martial uncle like this?

"Stop looking, they are already enveloped by my illusionary technique."

As if sensing Qin Shuang's worries, the cold, red-haired woman said indifferently, "In their eyes, you've been fighting Fourth Uncle all along."

"What? Illusionary technique?"

Hearing the cold woman's words, Qin Shuang's expression changed: "Are you the First Ranked Illusion Island Master among the Ten Second-level Hong Meng Controllers?"

Illusion Island Master, Tina!

She was the most powerful among the ten Second-level Hong Meng Controllers.

However, no one knew exactly how strong she was.

This was because the Illusion Island Master's greatest skill was illusionary techniques.

In front of the Illusion Island Master, no one knew whether what they saw, heard, perceived, thought, or felt was real or illusory.

Among the Ten Second-level Hong Meng Controllers, Qin Shuang had fought with the other nine.

However, when they mentioned the Illusion Island Master, they all showed deep apprehension.

Qin Shuang felt that their apprehension towards the Illusion Island Master was even greater than that towards the Reincarnation Island Master.

No, rather than apprehension, it was fear!

And at this moment, Qin Shuang finally understood what kind of fear this was.
