A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1210: Chapter 1211: Illusory War

Green in the front, Terror Croc Devourer in the back, flew toward the gathering point of the dimensional esophagus collapse.

Black smoke threads wove through their surroundings, and squads of Dark Shadow Creature Legions were everywhere like marching ants. Yet, under the protection of the Source of Darkness, to the perception of these shadows, Green and the Terror Croc Devourer seemed non-existent.

Concealing oneself with the Source of Darkness was the best strategy!

Moreover, any energy with the light attribute could harm these shadows, but with such a dense legion, these illusory beings had no size limits, and they came in overwhelming waves. Even a strong person like Green could inevitably hurt his own shadow, very dangerous indeed.

Buzz...

Like an endless sea, these Dark Shadow Illusory World creatures did not just have a dense army of lower beings; they also had varying degrees of strength.

At this moment, under Green and the Terror Croc Devourer’s flight, a massive shadow flowed, emitting an entirely different eerie feeling. The level distinctions of the Material World had little effect on the evolutionary rules of the Illusory World, just like when Green once entered the Nightmare World.

"Gulp..."

The Terror Croc Devourer felt its fear and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If this big guy just attacked it, it might not even manage a cry for help.

"Be careful!"

Green gestured, and a gravitational ripple pulled the massive body of the Terror Croc Devourer like a toy, pulling it to safety from a black smoke stream rising from the ground.

"Do you want to die? If absorbed into the Dark Shadow World, even the top powerhouses in the dimensional esophagus wouldn’t survive. A small guy like you might be instantly devoured without leaving a bone, becoming the lowest dwarf shadow under phantom rules."

The fact that the Terror Croc Devourer got distracted by the large shadow below was indeed too risky.

Green’s reprimand made the Terror Croc Devourer nod repeatedly, panic causing its simple thinking to become confused.

Lu, lu, lu, lu, lu, lu...

Strange tones, a rising column of black smoke from the ground formed a time-space twisting vortex in the upper air, nobody knew where it led, like an illusory army conquering other illusory worlds or influencing them.

Yet, from these distorted vortexes, colorful bubbles suddenly emerged.

These colorful bubbles...

Almost instantly, the Three-Colored Light Eyes under the Green Truth Mask widened in shock, inhaling sharply!

"Illusory Realm!"

At this time, it was a terrifying illusory world that immersed beings in their constructed fantasies, unknowingly digesting them. Based on Green’s hypothesis, this world was like a World Tree, a massive and frightening giant shell lifeform; it was even more terrifying than the World Tree!

Otherwise, why would the Eye of Destruction disguised as Cangyan Giant Mountain go to such lengths to steal its Awakening Light?

"Hiss... run! Don’t get lost in there, this is a more terrifying illusory world than the Dark Shadows!"

Green no longer maintained calm. Even with his Level-6 Peak strength amidst the vast rules of the Endless World, he was just an insignificant pebble, easily overlooked.

Fooled by the Eye of Destruction’s disguise of the illusory realm, even a small part of its power, Green knew this world’s terror, and to escape from the true Illusory Realm was a daunting task from the opening of a giant shell.

"Huh!?"

However, when Green turned his gaze, the Terror Croc Devourer had already succumbed to instinctive temptation, lost in its own imagined beauty. A colorful bubble encased its head and was expanding, intent on completely enveloping it.

"Damn it..."

Unwilling to take the risk himself, Green sighed and flew forward alone.

Larger colorful bubbles exuded many smaller ones. Green scanned continuously with his Three-Colored Light Eyes, predicting their paths, dodging and avoiding accordingly.

Meanwhile, the Terror Croc Devourer, fully encapsulated by that colorful bubble, gradually floated upward.

Squeak...

Above high, where wind swirled and clouds surged, in Green’s instinctual perception, a massive gap was ripping open in the gray mist of the dimensional esophagus, and more colorful bubbles surged forth!

In the Skeleton Land, the colorful bubbles didn’t only target dimensional esophagus exiles like Green and the Terror Croc Devourer; their primary goal was the shadow legion from the endless Dark Shadow World, which emerged with no volume limitation. Whichever prey they ensnared, they would instantly be trapped in their self-created fantasy, absorbed into the illusory realm, becoming part of it.

So terrifying...

Two deep illusory worlds were intersecting here, causing a collision of rules with each other!

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...

Similarly, the colorful bubbles enveloped the shadow legion, and the legion counterattacked. These bubbles also cast shadows; once a shadow was contaminated by those Dark Shadow rules, it would be dragged into the Dark Shadow Illusory World.

Pant, pant, pant...

Green’s breath grew increasingly rapid as the battle between the Dark Shadow World and the Illusory Realm intensified, and he became an anomaly caught between the two illusory battlefields.

"Chitter chatter..."

"Zhi zhi zhi..."

"Roar..."

Who knows how extensive the impact range of the dimensional esophagus was for both worlds, but Green knew he couldn’t linger. If the Awakening Ray of the Illusory Realm descended or some dreadful shadow creature from deep within the Dark Shadow emerged, Green would likely be the first to be affected.

Thus, amid the calls of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, Green, wrapped in its fiery embrace, sped towards the edge of the influence of both terrifying illusory worlds.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Even though Green was fully evading, smaller temporal rifts could not be avoided, slicing the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird’s flesh, as the sharpest daggers would. Yet, the bird continued, using Super-Speed Regeneration to heal its deeply scarred body, exerting all its strength to break through the battle range of colorful bubbles and the shadow legion.

Chitter chatter...

It was as if he suddenly pierced through a thin membrane. As colorful bubbles and shadow legions vanished from all around, within the belly of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, a flash occurred. After a landing through Elemental Teleportation, Green looked back, witnessing a grand, serene light piercing the heavens.

That was the Awakening Light!

Meanwhile, beside Green, the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird shrank in size, and with a final cry transformed into a wisp of black flame, resting on Green’s right little finger.

Buzz...

An equally potent wave spread out from beneath the Awakening Light, from some illusory dominator deep within the Dark Shadow Illusory World.

"Right!"

Green suddenly remembered, Xiao Ba once said that nearly every illusory world possessed at least one illusory dominator. Even the Nightmare World once had one, but it was erased by the Rod of Judgment after identifying the Nightmare Creatures’ vulnerabilities with real power.

Then, could the dimensional esophagus also harbor one or even several dominators?

No, impossible!

After all, this was the pathway of dimensional warfare!

PS: The fourth explosive update is complete!

Recently, everyone keeps asking for "The Journey of the Wizard" QQ group number, so here it is: 367,406,598. Bai Lu is the administrator Xiao Ba there, hehe.

Next month, Bai Lu aims to compete for the end of the monthly ticket list, hoping for support from everyone. "The Journey of the Wizard" will continue with explosive updates. Anyone interested can join the group for discussion; Bai Lu often chats there, and, uh... there are quite a few veterans with lots of knowledge in the group, hehe.

Also, I’d recommend Bai Lu’s idol ZHTTY Platinum Great’s new work, a martial arts novel "Heroes Across the World". Next month, Z will showcase his divine power, lending Bai Lu a helping hand, haha.

Finally, I still ask everyone to subscribe to "The Journey of the Wizard" on Qidian Chinese Network, to receive the One Flight of White Egret Ascends to the Sky Godlight. Seeking recommendations, monthly tickets, and rewards, "The Journey of the Wizard" will flourish with everyone’s support, allowing me to pen down everything in my heart. I’m creating an entirely new infinite stream writing system, the Endless World System!
