The rain kept falling.
Qin Siyang kept struggling in agony beneath it.
The pain came like the rain overhead, striking again and again, relentless and impossible to escape.
"You're very resilient."
The voice returned, calm and steady. Though it was stating an objective fact, its tone carried the pity of a superior looking down on an ant.
"But you should know that resilience doesn't mean much here."
After enduring four rounds of rain, Qin Siyang understood that, most likely, no one was coming to save him.
Sure enough, anyone who could reach Sequence Level Seven was an incredibly difficult enemy.
Han Lingye had been one, and so was the person creating this illusion.
Yet Qin Siyang continued to endure everything in silence.
He was somewhat thankful that he had advanced his Origin Sequence level during the battle a few days earlier, raising both his mental fortitude and overall strength to another dimension.
It was precisely because his raw strength had already surpassed that of the enemy using this skill that he had not lost himself amid these illusions and this agony.
Fortunately, he still had a countermeasure-Taste of Deification, which would let him use the Nightmare Lantern Tree's skill!
Ever since waking from the dream woven by the Nightmare Lantern Tree and obtaining a dark gold fruit, Qin Siyang had been pondering exactly what that fruit could do.
He had also discussed it with Hu Chan, who was just as troubled by the question.
Although Hu Chan had some expertise in researching God-Hunting Artifacts, he did not dare use this fruit to develop one.
It was simply too precious to subject to all kinds of experiments.
The two of them were like paupers sitting on a hoard of gold, unable to tell anyone about it and afraid to spend it.
