Delusive Mindscape

The moment Huo Yuhao finished speaking, two burly figures suddenly darted out from behind him and stopped steadily a dozen meters away.

Sunlight shone from the side, casting long shadows of two figures, one in front of the other, like two silent mountains blocking Huo Yuhao's path.

Huo Yuhao sized up the two men; they were both tall, burly middle-aged men he had never seen before.

The other party didn't exude a cold Evil God King aura, so they probably weren't Evil Soul Master.

He asked, "Who are you two? Why are you following me?"

Xiong Jun spoke first, "We are from the Shrek Academy."

This sentence left Huo Yuhao speechless.

He stood there stunned for a moment, not responding. This was an answer he had never expected, and it was actually the explanation that Xiong Jun and Er Ming had come up with after discussing it.

At first, Er Ming disagreed, after all, Tang San had once been a member of the Shrek Academy, and using Shrek's name to do such a thing made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But Xiong Jun didn't care. He said that Shrek Academy was now destroyed, so borrowing its name was no big deal.

After thinking about it, Er Ming realized that what Xiong Jun said did make some sense.

He didn't have much affection for the Shrek Academy itself; all he cared about was Tang San. Since Shrek was now just ruins with its name hanging in the balance, there was no harm in borrowing it for a while.

Xiong Jun's tone carried a deliberately ruthless edge as he continued, "The destruction of the Shrek Academy is inextricably linked to Qiangu Dongfeng. Today, we are here for revenge."

Huo Yuhao was speechless upon hearing this.

He's inextricably linked to Qiangu Dongfeng, so why are you looking for him? He and Qiangu Dongfeng don't get along either!

Before he could say anything more, Er Ming could no longer hide his anger.

His thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, his gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao's face, carrying an almost tangible fierce light. He said in a deep voice, "Why waste words with him? Just attack!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura erupted like a volcano with its top exposed, and a clear pattern of powerful Soul Power rippled through the air.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed instantly. Another Super Douluo!

He couldn't help but complain inwardly, "How come we're not facing any ordinary Titled Douluo? It's all people of this level right from the start!"

However, Huo Yuhao showed no sign of fear on his face. The moment he stopped and turned around, he already had a plan in mind.

He had already sent an emergency distress signal to Leng Yaozhu through his Soul Tool without making a sound. As long as he could hold out for a while, reinforcements would arrive.

Xiong Jun on the other side had already made the first move, slapping Huo Yuhao across the face.

That palm strike looked ordinary, but Huo Yuhao felt as if a huge mountain was crashing down on him, the heavy pressure causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.

Huo Yuhao's expression immediately became more serious; this person was also a Limit Douluo.

Faced with an opponent of this caliber, he did not hesitate at all and immediately began to circulate the Soul Power within his body.

Although his martial soul does not possess spatial attributes, after condensing his Second Soul Core, he has begun to gradually comprehend spatial abilities that only Super Douluo can begin to master.

Under the overwhelming force of this palm strike, Huo Yuhao managed to tear open a spatial rift, his body instantly retreating dozens of meters away at the last second.

At the same time, his Soul Ring lit up one by one, and the eighth orange-gold light suddenly burst forth.

Facing two Super Douluo- level enemies, he dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately used his newly fused eighth Soul Skill.

This is a good opportunity to test the power of the Soul Skill brought by the 300,000-year-old Phantom Heart Demon Spider Spirit Soul.

Having missed his target, Xiong Jun was about to launch another attack when his movements suddenly froze. It was as if he had been struck on the back of the head by an invisible hammer, and he stood frozen in place.

His gaze instantly became unfocused and scattered, a faint trace of fear flashing deep in his pupils, as if he had seen something that made him instinctively retreat.

He stood there stiffly, in the posture of raising his hand, like a stone statue whose pause button had been pressed.

Huo Yuhao's eighth Soul Skill is called "Delusive Mindscape".

This is one of the core innate abilities of the Phantom Heart Demon Spider: it constructs an Illusion Domain on a mental level, forcibly dragging the enemy's consciousness into it.

In this illusory world woven from Divine Power, opponents will confront the very existence that haunts their deepest fears.

Every injury and every bit of pain suffered in that illusion is simultaneously reflected back to the true Spiritual Origin.

The Phantom Heart Demon Spider is Grandmaster of manipulating illusions. Its greatest skill is shaping fear into a weapon. It never bites its prey itself, but instead causes the prey to collapse on its own due to endless psychological trauma.

At this moment, deep within Xiong Jun's consciousness, the surrounding scenery had completely changed.

He was standing in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, where the trees towered into the clouds, their branches and leaves blocking out the sunlight, and the air was damp and heavy.

Not far from him, a figure was coldly watching him; it was none other than the Beast God Di Tian.

Di Tian's expression was not as calm and composed as usual; instead, it carried an undisguised rage, and his golden dragon eyes surged with a chilling killing intent.

Before Xiong Jun could figure out what was happening, a claw-like shadow that tore through space arrived, moving so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone to react.

Xiong Jun's expression suddenly changed, "Dragon God Claw!"

He recognized the technique at a glance; the claw mark on his chest was left by Di Tian, so how could he not remember it clearly?

He once challenged Di Tian, but the result was that he almost died. This was the scene he feared most.

The Delusive Mindscape is a Soul Skill similar to a domain. When Huo Yuhao activated the Soul Skill, he also included Er Ming in the illusion.

Er Ming's movements also paused, his eyes briefly glazing over.

Huo Yuhao breathed a slight sigh of relief; as long as he could buy some time, that would be fine.

However, to his surprise, Er Ming was only trapped for a moment, less than two breaths, before his vision cleared again.

Those sharp eyes refocused and locked onto Huo Yuhao.

The only reason someone could break free from Delusive Mindscape so quickly is that their Divine Power far surpasses Huo Yuhao's.

Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed tightly as he wondered if this burly man, who clearly appeared to be a strength-type Soul Master, had actually reached the Divine Origin Realm in terms of Divine Power.

But the other party didn't even give him time to think. Er Ming snorted coldly, and his thick hand grabbed straight at Huo Yuhao.

His movements didn't seem fast, but Huo Yuhao felt a suffocating sense of suffocation that he couldn't dodge in that instant.

It was as if the entire world had frozen under that grasp; the air had become an invisible wall, trapping him firmly in place.

He tried to tear through space to retreat, but found that even space itself was locked by some invisible force, rendering all his evasive maneuvers ineffective.

Di Tian's intention was to kill Huo Yuhao directly, but Er Ming, seeing the familiar face of the other party, felt that he should ask some questions, so he did not immediately kill him.

Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed; this was the power of the laws.

The opponent wasn't a Super Douluo at all; he was a true Limit Douluo.

Huo Yuhao's mind raced, trying to figure out how to break the deadlock.

Just as the claw was about to strike, a clear and melodious phoenix cry pierced the sky from afar, sharp and resonant, like a blade cutting through the frozen air.

Immediately afterwards, a platinum-gold figure descended from the sky, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind as it fell, and steadily blocked Huo Yuhao's path.

The platinum-gold Four-Word Battle Armor was surrounded by the lingering phoenix flames, and the newcomer was none other than Leng Yaozhu.

Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's distress signal, she immediately set off at full speed and arrived just in time for the emergency.
