Qian Renxue in the Illusion

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Burning Blue Silver Emperor..." After tangling with Sea Spear Douluo and the other two for quite some time, Zhao Zilong understood that ordinary soul skills simply could not defeat them. After all, he was only an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo. Even if his soul rings and soul skills surpassed theirs, defeating three Titled Douluo was still extremely difficult.

Without hesitation, Zhao Zilong directly used his Martial Soul Fusion Skill. With Zhao Zilong's current eighty-ninth-level Soul Power, even Titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand the Martial Soul Fusion Skill he unleashed.

"Be careful..." Sea Spear Douluo shouted a warning.

Countless Burning Blue Silver Emperors swept toward Sea Spear Douluo and the others like fiery dragons. The Burning Blue Silver Emperor possessed extremely powerful control abilities, and its flames could cling to targets, though it lacked explosive force. However, Zhao Zilong had used this move precisely to separate Sea Spear Douluo and the others.

Sure enough, countless burning fire dragons and fire serpents lunged at Sea Spear Douluo and the others. With no other choice, they could only use soul skills to block while retreating. Seeing this, Zhao Zilong's lips curled into a smile.

In a flash, he arrived behind Sea Star Douluo. Before Sea Star Douluo could react, the Eight Spider Lances behind Zhao Zilong pierced directly into his body.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" After a scream, Sea Star Douluo felt the Soul Power within his body being rapidly drained away. His body was also completely immobilized by the poison. In only a few seconds, Zhao Zilong had drained Sea Star Douluo's Soul Power dry. Sea Star Douluo's body then collapsed weakly to the ground, gradually turning transparent before being sent out by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"Byakugan..." After recovering his Soul Power, Zhao Zilong quickly turned his attention to Sea Spear Douluo and Seahorse Douluo. Of the Seven Sacred Pillars, two had now been dealt with.

However, at that moment, Zhao Zilong noticed Qian Renxue's situation and frowned slightly. "Has she been trapped in an illusion?"

Through the Byakugan, Zhao Zilong saw that Qian Renxue was enveloped by Sea Illusion Douluo's Illusionary Domain. The Soul Power around her was also in complete disorder. It seemed Sea Illusion Douluo's illusion had put her through quite a miserable time.

Sea Illusion Douluo's martial soul was extremely unusual, and when paired with his domain, it became even more formidable. His illusions were not merely mental attacks; they inflicted real damage. If one was injured within the illusion, the injury was real. If one died in the illusion, one truly died. If not for the Byakugan's absolute restraint over Illusion Techniques, defeating him would not have been easy either.

However, Zhao Zilong could not go help Qian Renxue now. He had finally used Burning Blue Silver Emperor and expended a great deal of Soul Power, so he had to seize this opportunity to defeat both Sea Spear Douluo and Seahorse Douluo.

After all, there was simply no way to win against several Titled Douluo working together. The only option was to separate them and defeat them one by one.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was deeply trapped within the illusion as the scene before her began to change.

She had arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace she knew so well.

"This is... Heaven Dou City? How did I get here? No, this is an Illusion Technique." Qian Renxue looked around, immediately realizing what was happening. Her Soul Power surged as she growled, "Angel Domain..."

The Angel Domain appeared, yet the surroundings did not change in the slightest. Qian Renxue was startled. She clearly remembered that she had been undergoing a trial, facing Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Woman Douluo, and Sea Ghost Douluo. She had been on Sea God Island; it was impossible for her to suddenly appear here.

Qian Renxue's expression became grave. "Even the Angel Domain cannot break this illusion? As expected of an illusion created by three Titled Douluo."

Among Sea Illusion, Sea Ghost, and Sea Woman, Qian Renxue had only fought Sea Ghost Douluo before. She knew that Sea Ghost Douluo's martial soul could silently release a strange poison that trapped people in dreams. Back then, Qian Renxue had nearly fallen for it herself. Fortunately, the Angel Domain possessed purification abilities and had broken Sea Ghost Douluo's strange poison.

However, she had never fought Sea Illusion Douluo or Sea Woman Douluo. She only knew that both were mental-type Titled Douluo.

Damn it, I have to find a way to break this illusion...

Qian Renxue was growing anxious. If she could not break free from the illusion in time, she would be helpless prey, left for others to slaughter.

Just then, Qian Renxue saw a large group of soldiers suddenly rush out of the imperial palace before her. Xue Ye, who had already died, had now come back to life and roared furiously, "Qian Renxue, your Spirit Hall harmed my son Xue Qinghe and still seeks to usurp the Heaven Dou Empire. Today will be the day you die!"

"What?" Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned, but she quickly realized this was an illusion.

"Qian Renxue, twenty years ago, your Spirit Hall slaughtered countless members of our four single-attribute clans. Today, we will avenge our clansmen." At that moment, the patriarchs of the four single-attribute clans, including Tai Tan, suddenly appeared nearby.

"Though we bear no personal grudge against you, your Spirit Hall has stolen the throne and disrupted the peace of Douluo Continent. Shrek Academy must also do its part." At that moment, Shrek Academy's dean Flender, Zhao Zilong, and the others also appeared.

"Qian Renxue, today I will make your Spirit Hall pay the price..." Tang San appeared as well, with his Tang Sect behind him.

"Tang San..." The instant Qian Renxue saw Tang San, the killing intent in her eyes became even more intense. Looking at the scene before her, Qian Renxue remained perfectly clear-headed. This was all just an illusion. Setting aside everything else, Xue Ye had long since died. She snorted coldly. "It is merely an illusion. You are not worthy of killing me."

"Angel True Body..."

In an instant, Qian Renxue's Soul Power surged dramatically, yet nothing around her changed. Her brows furrowed tightly as her smooth nails dug into her palm, leaving bloody marks. Feeling the pain in her hand, she was shocked. Why? This should be an illusion. Why can't I break it...?

"Kill her!" Soldiers and soul masters from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace immediately charged at Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue snorted disdainfully. "You are not worthy..."

Holding the Angel Sacred Sword, Qian Renxue charged into the soul masters. Her sacred sword continuously cut down soldiers, while Tang San swung the Clear Sky Hammer at her.

The sacred sword collided with the Clear Sky Hammer. This time, Qian Renxue possessed ninety-second-level Soul Power, while Tang San in the illusion was still only a Soul Emperor. He was easily sent flying by a single strike from Qian Renxue. Then Qian Renxue saw Flender, Zhao Wuji, Liu Erlong, Tai Tan, Niu Gao, Bai He, Yang Wudi, and the others charging at her as well, along with soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire.

There was not a trace of fear in Qian Renxue's eyes as she continued fighting. Her Soul Power was steadily consumed. Suddenly, Yang Wudi's spear pierced Qian Renxue's delicate shoulder. She cried out in pain, and a succession of attacks followed, sending her slender body flying.

It hurts so much. How can this be? Is this really an illusion? Why haven't I woken up even though it hurts this much? Is this really an illusion? Qian Renxue began to doubt herself. If it were merely an ordinary illusion, pain should have stimulated her brain and awakened her.

Furthermore, her Angel Domain could purify darkness, so why could it not purify this illusion? Sea Illusion Douluo's Soul Power should only be one or two levels higher than hers. Why was she unable to break the illusion?

However, Qian Renxue was given no time to think. Enemies charged at her in an endless stream. Holding the sacred sword, she fought without pause, killing one enemy after another. The injuries on her body increased, while the Soul Power within her was rapidly depleted.

Qian Renxue felt the pain throughout her body, and despair began to rise within her. The pain told her that if she died here, she might truly die.

Because Qian Renxue understood that this was the special nature of Sea Illusion Douluo's domain.

Hold on! I only need to hold out for one hour. Qian Renxue screamed inwardly. All she wanted now was to endure for one hour. Once the time was up, she would have won.

Meanwhile, Sea Illusion Douluo outside could observe the illusion Qian Renxue saw through his martial soul. He said coldly, "As expected of the Six-winged Angel martial soul. She also possesses a head soul bone close to one hundred thousand years old, and her spiritual power is exceptionally strong. If it were only me, my Illusionary Domain would likely have been broken by you long ago. But you are facing three Titled Douluo."

"Why not finish her off while she is trapped in the illusion?" Sea Ghost Douluo suggested from the side.

Sea Illusion Douluo shook his head. "No. Although she is trapped in the illusion now, if you approach her, she will treat you as an enemy within the illusion and attack you as well. Let her exhaust herself pointlessly where she is."

Sea Ghost Douluo said nothing more. He merely watched Qian Renxue in the distance. At that moment, Qian Renxue was holding the Angel Sacred Sword and continuously slashing at empty air while unleashing her soul skills.

Sea Illusion Douluo spoke again. "However, her Soul Power is formidable. If this drags on, she may truly be able to hold out until the trial ends. So next, we need to increase the intensity..."
