Jiang Ping An subconsciously wanted to retreat and distance himself from this strange mask.
However, as soon as the thought came up, Black Mask, which was so huge that it occupied the entire field of vision, suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes like a phantom.
Immediately afterwards, a cold touch came from his face.
That Black Mask actually appeared on his face!
An ancient, obscure, and completely incomprehensible whisper sounded in the depths of his mind, like countless tiny insect chirpings or murmurs from distant time and space.
He had no idea what the syllables meant.
But these sounds themselves seemed to contain some strange and powerful power, trying to penetrate into his soul, twist his will, tamper with his cognition, and then completely control his consciousness!
Jiang Ping An's face darkened.
Feeling the strange erosion coming from his soul, he immediately raised his hand, grabbed the edge of the mask hard, and tried to tear it off his face.
But no matter how hard he exerted force, the mask remained motionless, cold and hard, as if it had grown with the flesh and bones of his face and became a part of his body.
"Within half an hour, crack the core Curse Seal on the mask. If it cannot be cracked, the soul will be eroded and the challenge will be judged as failed."
A calm man's voice sounded in the void. This voice seemed to have been preset and was triggered at this moment.
This voice should be the reminder left by the owner of Spirit Painting.
The reason why the half-hour time limit is set is obviously because once this time is exceeded, the challenger will probably no longer be able to resist the erosion of the mask, and the soul will be completely controlled by it!
By then, the consequences will be disastrous!
At this moment, this weird Black Mask penetrated into his soul Sea of Consciousness.
The empty eyes on the mask seemed to come to life, "gazing" coldly at his Sea of Consciousness space, like a hungry Fierce Beast that had discovered its prey, exuding a greedy and dangerous aura.
Jiang Ping An frowned.
This strange mask gave him a very wrong feeling.
This doesn't look like an illusion created by Mental Power at all.
On the surface of Black Mask, a large number of mysterious and unknown black words floated out, squirming like living creatures.
These words are connected to each other, like black vines, spreading in all directions towards Sea of Consciousness of Jiang Ping An, trying to cover his entire Sea of Consciousness.
However, in this space of consciousness, the core of Jiang Ping An's soul - "World Eye", is floating quietly, indifferently overlooking the Black Mask trying to invade below.
This mask's intrusion seemed extremely clumsy and childish in front of World Eye, like a three-year-old child clumsily waving a stick in front of a martial arts master.
"You can also invade Jiang's consciousness?"
Jiang Ping An thought, and a large number of translucent tentacles suddenly extended from behind World Eye's pupils.
These tentacles are made of pure Mental Power. They grow and spread, wrap around the body of Black Mask, and then pull with force!
"Whoosh!"
This weird Black Mask couldn't resist and was forcibly dragged into World Eye.
The strange words floating out from the surface of the mask touched the barrier of World Eye and could no longer spread outwards, and were imprisoned within it.
After temporarily controlling the situation, Jiang Ping An felt curious.
What on earth is this? Why did it give him such a strong sense of crisis?
The six-pointed star imprint on the surface of World Eye lights up slightly, emitting a hazy and mysterious brilliance. Scan all directions to analyze Black Mask, which is imprisoned inside.
Under the gaze of World Eye, the complex and twisted Rules words and structures on the mask reveal their essence and operating rules without reservation.
Soon, relying on World Eye's powerful analytical ability and combining it with his own knowledge, Jiang Ping An roughly understood the essence of this mask.
"This mask... its core seems to be some kind of... parasite that exists in the form of Curse Seal..."
"This kind of Curse Seal is very similar to a strange group of people who could transform their own life forms into Curse Seal that we encountered in the early years of the Lower Realm Immortal Realm..."
Back then in the Immortal Realm, he encountered a strange life from another Immortal Realm.
The life forms of that group are very special. They can exist in the world as Curse Seal, and can parasitize other life forms through Curse Seal.
The mask in front of me is similar to the Immortal Realm life form in terms of "parasitism".
The difference is that the Immortal Realm group mainly parasitizes the target's physical body, but this Black Mask targets the soul and consciousness.
This is more like... a Body Seizing for the soul.
But it is different from the common Body Seizing technique.
Restricted by the God Realm to the highest Rules, there is usually a strict limit on the number of times a strong person can perform Body Seizing, and it can generally only be performed on a single target.
And the Rules contained in this mask is even more domineering and weird.
It seems to be able to invade and try to control all life it comes into contact with, or is this thing an extension of some higher-level existence?
Jiang Ping An Even though he has understood its rules, he is still puzzled.
"What is the origin of this mask? How can it have such strange power?"
"The tracer of this Spirit Painting does not seem to have traced the complete power of the mask. It is just a simplified version... Why did the other party specifically add such a thing to Third Floor Illusionary Realm?"
"What is the purpose? Just to test whether a person can break through this mask?"
The appearance of this strange mask made Jiang Ping An vaguely feel that Hua Miao Lou Young Master, who set up these three layers of the Illusionary Realm, might not have a simple purpose, but seemed to have other hidden intentions.
However, he did not dwell too much on this issue.
The top priority is to complete the challenge.
His goal is very clear, which is the three thousand Spirit King Pill.
It may be very difficult for others to crack this imprisoned mask, but for Jiang Ping An, it is not an impossible task.
The Curse Seal on the mask is essentially a special form of life structure.
As long as you find its key nodes, just like finding the heart, brain and other fatal points of a creature, and destroy them, you can fundamentally destroy the mask.
Jiang Ping An concentrated on controlling Soul Power on World Eye, turning it into invisible sharp spikes, stabbing at the core nodes on the mask that maintained the existence of Curse Seal!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several slight cracking sounds were heard in succession, and the attacked core Curse Seal collapsed.
Black Mask shook violently, and other words on the surface became chaotic and distorted, and could no longer maintain a stable structure.
The entire mask shrank suddenly like ignited paper, then exploded into countless black light spots with a soft "bang" sound, and finally dissipated without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Almost as soon as the mask dissipated, the surrounding illusions disappeared.
Jiang Ping An's consciousness returned to reality and he opened his eyes again.
He still stood in place, his body not moving at all.
The maid next to him had been paying attention to his condition. When his eyes returned to clarity, she knew that he had escaped from the Illusionary Realm.
"It's so weak. He was eliminated so quickly."
The maid secretly cursed in her heart.
Even if the other God Kings who came to challenge could not break through all the Illusionary Realms, they could at least persist in them for a long time, and no matter how hard they failed, they could still hold on for several hours.
But for the man in front of me, it hadn't been long since he entered Illusionary Realm and when he came out, I'm afraid he was forced to exit without even overcoming the fear of the first layer of the Illusionary Realm.
Although the maid complained in her heart, she still maintained a perfect professional smile on her face and did not show any strange emotions.
She took a step forward and said softly, "I'm sorry, guest, since you can't break through these three layers Illusionary Realm, then we can't exempt you from the order."
"Please also pay 295 Spirit King Pill, or use other items of equal value as collateral."
Jiang Ping An didn't seem to hear her words, and still stood quietly, his eyes falling on the beautiful painting in front of him.
Seeing that he ignored her, the maid couldn't help but frown slightly.
Are you trying to pretend to be stupid and eat the King's meal?
She turned her head calmly and winked at the guards who were on standby not far away, signaling them to get ready.
Just as the two God King guards with strong auras were about to leave, they came forward to deal with the suspected defaulter.
A sudden change occurred!
The painting Spirit Painting hanging on the wall suddenly burst out with a soft but extremely eye-catching strange light.
The light flowed, illuminating the entire second floor.
God King, who was still cracking Illusionary Realm, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up with confusion and confusion on his face.
"What's going on? Why was I suddenly kicked out of the Illusionary Realm?"
"That's right! I was just finding some clues to try to crack Second Floor's desire Illusionary Realm. Why did you kick me out forcibly?"
"Eh? Look! Spirit Painting is glowing!"
Just when many God King were confused and confused, an even more shocking scene happened.
The stunning woman in the painting, wearing a holy skirt, blinked nimbly.
Immediately afterwards, her figure walked slowly out of the canvas!
A stunning woman formed by the gathering of Spiritual Power light spots, her whole body exudes a mysterious and ethereal aura. Her beautiful face seems to contain some kind of Daoist charm, which can arouse the resonance of the surrounding world Rules.
The eyes of everyone on the second floor were drawn to it.
The woman in the painting moved lightly, ignoring the stunned God King around her, and crossed a distance of several feet in one step, directly coming to Jiang Ping An.
She bowed slightly, performed an elegant etiquette, opened her red lips lightly, and spoke in an ethereal and sweet voice:
"Congratulations, sir, for successfully breaking through the third floor Illusionary Realm. Please follow the little girl upstairs. My master has invited me."
The entire second floor suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ping An, their eyes filled with extreme astonishment and disbelief.
"All three layers of the Illusionary Realm were broken?"
"This person... seems to have just gone upstairs not long ago, right? In such a short time, he broke through the three floors Illusionary Realm?!"
"Who is he? An elite trained by which big power? Why have I never seen him before?"
Whether it was those God King who came to challenge Spirit Painting, or the maids and guards present, they all looked at Jiang Ping An like a monster, with incredible expressions written on their faces.
Over the years, countless God Kings have come to challenge this Spirit Painting, including many famous geniuses and veteran experts.
There may be only a few that can succeed, and each one has achieved fame.
Most of those who finally succeeded in the challenge spent several days or even months on the Illusionary Realm.
However, it only took a short moment for this strange man with an elegant and scholarly temperament in front of him to go from standing in front of the painting to the Illusionary Realm being broken and the painting spirit appearing!
This speed is incredible!
Faced with the invitation sent by Hua Miao Lou Young Master, the representative of the painting spirit woman, Jiang Ping An's reaction once again exceeded everyone's expectations.
He didn't show the slightest emotion, he just shook his head calmly and said:
"Sorry, I have other things to do and can't go to see your master. Just give me the reward of three thousand Spirit King Pill."
He came here just for Spirit King Pill and didn't want to have anything to do with other people.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of shock on the faces of everyone present changed, and they all looked like fools.
This guy broke through three layers of the Illusionary Realm just for those three thousand Spirit King Pill?
Doesn't he know that the potential value and significance of taking this opportunity to make friends with Hua Miao Lou Young Master, who have a profound background, far exceeds the three thousand Spirit King Pill countless times?
If you can have a relationship with Hua Miao Lou Young Master, this mere three thousand Spirit King Pill is nothing!
