Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7810

Chapter 7727: The Illusory Ray

The surrounding crowd was equally astonished, their pupils trembling. Even as top experts from third-tier star system member states, who had witnessed countless scenes, their hearts pounded wildly.

They hadn’t expected that the battle to reach the semi-finals would involve the Ancient Martial Immortal publicly selecting his opponents!

“Winning this match will secure me a spot in the semi-finals, which is more than enough. The main reason is that an old friend asked me to keep an eye out for Illusionary God cultivators,” the Ancient Martial Immortal explained slowly.

“Thank you, Ancient Martial Immortal!” Empress Fuguang bowed excitedly, then felt a slight unease. “Hmm… but Li Tianming is no weakling either; it’s not a certainty yet…”

“It’s alright, let’s wait and see,” the Ancient Martial Immortal waved his hand.

The Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor, seeing this, felt a sense of schadenfreude. He looked at Li Tianming with a cold gaze and a smirk.

If Li Tianming lost, everyone would be happy; if he won, he might offend the Ancient Martial Immortal!

Both outcomes would be favorable for him.

The Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor, however, frowned slightly.

He had finally managed to give Li Tianming some recognition among the ancient martial immortals, but now it seemed there was a risk of him becoming their adversary, a clearly unfavorable development.

However, if Li Tianming could win the championship in the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle, these opinions wouldn’t matter. Thinking of this, Emperor Qianfeng felt slightly relieved.

In the Myriad Sects Battle Domain!

Li Tianming and Wei Shengxi Ling stepped onto the stage, standing opposite each other.

Because Li Tianming didn’t have a Phantom God, he couldn’t use defeating Gu Sha to increase his popularity; he could only use other methods to fight normally.

Wei Shengxi Ling smiled slightly at Li Tianming, and then decisively unleashed her own Phantom God!

Buzz—

As the dense Phantom God patterns surged, countless small Phantom God phantoms appeared around him!

“This is her ‘Phantom Ray Dream River Phantom God’!” Aurora reminded Li Tianming.

These Phantom God phantoms were all a peculiar species with bird wings and fish bodies—the ‘Phantom Ray’!

Each of these phantom rays represented an independent illusion, swarming around them in dense clusters, forming a blue galaxy!

The moment they revealed their phantom gods, they launched an attack on Li Tianming without hesitation.

Wei Sheng Xiling’s attack method was direct; she controlled the army of phantom rays to surge towards Li Tianming.

Boom boom boom!!

This was an illusionary massacre composed of tens of thousands of illusions!

Li Tianming drew his Eastern Emperor Sword, and a pair of golden-black sword rings flew out, creating a vortex in front of him as he swung his sword to defend.

However, these phantom rays seemed to have no substance, passing directly through Li Tianming’s defensive stance!

Seeing this, Li Tianming no longer defended with all his might, but instead entrusted the attack entirely to Xiao Liu San Hun, who was already in his companion beast fusion state and residing in his brain’s star organ.

“We originally wanted Little Li to interact with you as an ordinary person…”

“Since that’s the case, we’re not pretending anymore!”

“No matter what kind of soul attack it is, we can extinguish it for you!”

The three soul shadows, Bai Feng, Bai Ye, and Bai Ling, exchanged words and sneered.

All the illusions surrounding Li Tianming, and any attacks that affected his soul, were like mud oxen entering the sea, not even causing a ripple!

“No reaction at all… How is that possible? Even if it could be neutralized, it shouldn’t be this easy!” Wei Sheng Xi Ling’s blue eyes widened slightly upon seeing this.

At the same time, Li Tianming took the initiative to attack, leaping into space and rapidly approaching his opponent.

His Donghuang Sword was wrapped with Xuanjin Sword Blade, and two chaotic sword rings formed from Aurora and Sui Shen Yao tore through the star river!

Wei Sheng Xi Ling’s eyes flickered slightly as she controlled the Illusionary Ray Dream River Illusionary God, continuing towards Li Tianming.

However, this time, Li Tianming sensed a different aura and suddenly became alert.

He said, “Something’s fishy! An Ning, it’s your turn to shine this time!”

“Alright!” A voice rang in his ears.

As soon as the words fell, his white armor shot into the sky, transforming into a nine-story Taiyi Tower!

Boom boom boom!!

The swarm of phantom rays had actually gained physical form, and now they all crashed into the Taiyi Tower, returning to irregular phantom divine rune shapes!

The attack, a mix of illusion and reality, was the most deceptive and also the most deadly!

Perhaps many had already fallen victim to this move before!

“Oops, I’ve been seen through!” Wei Sheng Xi Ling covered her mouth and chuckled.

After discovering that Li Tianming’s soul was unaffected, she didn’t hesitate and immediately changed her strategy, switching to a more powerful and effective attack method.

Her phantom ray, Dream River Phantom God, suddenly condensed, including the phantom divine runes that had been scattered earlier, all of which reassembled.

In the end, it actually formed a very huge phantom ray!

This phantom ray had a flattened shape, bird wings, a fish body, and a long tail; it was quite unique in appearance.

“They want a quick victory, to finish us off as soon as possible!” Li Tianming’s gaze narrowed slightly.

At this stage of the battle, whether it was Gu Sha, Wei Sheng Xi Ling, or Li Tianming himself, they all had their share of cunning tactics, all wanting to demonstrate their superior combat power through overwhelming force or other means.

However, Li Tianming wouldn’t let them succeed so easily.

In fact, he needed to achieve a reverse suppression to gain more attention from Inspector Liu and the others!

“If you can withstand this attack, I’ll have no choice but to admit defeat,” Wei Sheng Xi Ling said calmly, raising one hand

to the sky. As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her arm towards Li Tianming.

This enormous phantom ray opened a gaping maw!

Within the maw, a vortex of suction pulled inward, seemingly trying to swallow Li Tianming’s body whole, grinding him into stardust!

This method was somewhat similar to how Xiao Jiu absorbed the Divine Treasure Stone.

At this critical moment, An Ning’s voice rang in Li Tianming’s mind.

“Throw me over there, then you deal with this person!”

Without hesitation, he directly controlled the Taiyi Tower and threw it into the vortex.

Immediately afterward, Li Tianming swung his sword and charged towards Wei Sheng Xiling. With two large Chaos Sword Rings clearing a path, he easily closed in on her.

Wei Sheng Xiling’s eyes widened slightly, almost unable to comprehend Li Tianming’s actions.

At this moment, the two were extremely close; if she wanted, she could completely engulf Li Tianming with her Illusionary Ray Dream River Illusionary God!

“I won’t hold back!” Wei Sheng Xiling’s gaze sharpened.

She was about to unleash the giant maw of the phantom ray to swallow Li Tianming!

However, the moment this thought formed, Wei Sheng Xiling watched helplessly as Li Tianming’s Eastern Emperor Sword drew ever closer, only to find herself having lost control of the phantom god!

“I don’t need you to hold back,” Li Tianming said calmly.

“What? What’s going on?!” Wei Sheng Xiling suddenly panicked.

She looked up sharply and saw countless white spear phantoms seemingly piercing through the giant phantom ray’s shadow, as if a tall figure was practicing spear techniques inside, instantly dissolving the entire high-level evolved phantom god!

Boom—!!

As the entire phantom god exploded, what appeared before everyone’s eyes was still that nine-story white pagoda.

An Ning was completely unafraid of the phantom god’s illusion, and at the same time, she could harm the phantom god’s physical form. Swallowing her into her stomach was tantamount to courting death!

Wei Sheng Xi Ling’s true realm was actually no different from Gu Sha’s, only her foundation was deeper.

At this moment, having temporarily lost her Illusion God form and lacking Gu Sha’s physical strength, she was being steadily defeated by Li Tianming.

Li Tianming hadn’t even used the Chaos Sword Dao!

Soon, this female Illusion God cultivator was forced to the edge of the Myriad Sects Battle Domain…

“I concede! Your ability is too monstrous, I admit defeat!” Wei Sheng Xi Ling said helplessly.

At this point, she had no choice but to submit!

Having won this battle, Li Tianming officially entered the ranks of the top four!

A deathly silence fell all around…
