Illusion Trial: Each Reveals Their True Hearts

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan braced themselves as the dark demonic beast lunged at them. Chen Siyu's Five-Colored Ribbon whirled, emitting a vibrant glow in an attempt to block the beast's assault. Chen Ruixuan, meanwhile, pulled out his slingshot, gathered Chaos Power, and aimed for the beast's eyes.

Despite its massive size, the dark demonic beast moved with uncanny agility. It easily dodged Chen Ruixuan's projectiles. With a swipe of its giant claw, a black energy blade slashed towards the siblings. Chen Siyu hastily used her Five-Colored Ribbon to defend, the energy blade clashing against the ribbon with a piercing shriek. The ribbon flickered erratically, seemingly on the verge of breaking.

Seeing this, Chen Ruixuan fired several more projectiles, this time imbuing them with a more potent Chaos Power. The projectiles struck the beast, erupting in bursts of chaotic light. The beast roared in pain.

"Sister, this beast is too powerful! We need to find a way!" Chen Ruixuan shouted.

While fully engaged in fending off the beast's attacks, Chen Siyu pondered their options. She suddenly noticed that before each attack, dark runes on the beast's body would flash. This, she realized, might be its weakness.

"Little brother, attack the flashing runes!" Chen Siyu exclaimed.

Chen Ruixuan immediately adjusted his aim, and his subsequent projectiles, brimming with Chaos Power, accurately struck the runes on the beast's body. Upon being hit, the runes dimmed, and the beast's movements grew sluggish.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Siyu channeled Chaos Power into the Five-Colored Ribbon, transforming it into a vibrant whip that lashed out fiercely at the beast. The beast let out a shrill cry as its body began to dissipate, and the surrounding dark power waned.

As the dark power receded, the city returned to its former tranquility. At this moment, the mysterious figure reappeared, looking at Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan with satisfaction. "You have passed the test. Your hearts are pure, and you act solely to protect. You are indeed the destined ones for the orb."

Meanwhile, in other spiritual energy illusion realms, the members of the Golden Robe Sect faced temptations of countless magic treasures and pills. Some couldn't resist and reached out to take them. The illusions shattered instantly, disqualifying them from competing for the orb.

The members of the Black Robe Cult were instead corrupted by the dark power within their illusion, attempting to destroy everything. Ultimately, they too failed the test.

Fairy Lingyin encountered a past crisis of her sect within her illusion. Faced with the difficult choice between saving her sect and protecting the Mystical Realm, she hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to protect the Mystical Realm, knowing its vital importance to the entire Primordial World. The mysterious figure appeared and informed her that she had passed the test.

The mysterious figure brought Chen Siyu, Chen Ruixuan, and Fairy Lingyin back to reality. The Mystical Orb floated in the air, emitting a gentle radiance. "Only the three of you have passed the test," the mysterious figure said. "The Mystical Orb can be divided into three and integrated into your bodies. You must jointly protect the Mystical Realm and maintain the balance of spiritual energy."

Fairy Lingyin looked at Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan and smiled. "I didn't expect it to be the three of us in the end. Young friends, we will need to look out for each other in the future."

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan nodded. "Rest assured, Fairy Lingyin, we will do our best."

Following this, the mysterious figure cast a spell, dividing the Mystical Orb into three. Three beams of light merged into Chen Siyu, Chen Ruixuan, and Fairy Lingyin. After the orb's integration, the three felt a powerful yet gentle spiritual energy flowing within them, perfectly merging with their own.

However, at that very moment, the sky suddenly darkened with storm clouds, and a black lightning bolt tore through the heavens. From a distance, a powerful dark aura rapidly spread. The mysterious figure's expression changed. "This is bad! Someone has taken advantage of the chaos to break the seal between the Mystical Realm and the outside world. The dark forces are about to invade!" Chen Siyu, Chen Ruixuan, and Fairy Lingyin exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination. They knew a more arduous battle was imminent, and they would bear the responsibility of protecting the Mystical Realm. Facing the encroaching dark forces, how would they respond?
