Chapter 761: Heart Full of Fear!
Carefully, Su Yi focused his attention, but the terrifying python didn’t reappear.
Su Yi felt a bit confused but grew even more cautious, unwilling to act carelessly.
“Roar!”
Soon after, deep within the forest, a massive and violent ape jumped out, its teeth flashing, fists glowing with black light, accompanied by a gust of wind. It charged at Su Yi.
Already on alert, Su Yi, who had been vigilant the entire time, immediately clashed with a punch.
“Bang!”
With a thunderous crash, Su Yi’s small fist shattered the black light around the opponent, causing the massive ape to shudder and crumble, dissipating into a burst of black light.
“It’s all an illusion again!”
Su Yi frowned. Although the ferocious ape was an illusion, the aura and power it exhibited felt incredibly real.
Everything returned to stillness, as if nothing had happened.
“And summoning remnants of the soul has a magical resemblance,”
Su Yi mused. He realized that these phantom demon beasts resembled the techniques Soul Tamers used to summon soul remnants.
Considering this, Su Yi understood that it wasn’t surprising that many Soul Tamers had set up the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm. Such methods were common, yet in this realm, they felt even more mysterious.
Su Yi continued, relying on his own strength, which proved adequate to overcome two obstacles along the way.
At that point, Su Yi fully grasped Xi Wuqing’s words, realizing that Soul Tamers did have certain advantages.
These spectral shadows of demon beasts appeared without any noticeable signs of breath, and even those stronger than demon beast enthusiasts could fall prey if unprepared.
However, in the fleeting moment these illusionary demon beasts appeared, Su Yi’s soul power detected them, and he was ready.
Su Yi had also begun to piece together the origins of these illusionary beast shadows, which offered him advantages over others.
Su Yi continued his journey, uncertain of where it would end, feeling that the place was vast and endless.
Over the next two hours, Su Yi faced more illusory demon beasts, each more formidable than the last, and even multiple beasts appeared at once to surround him.
This was the Sanctified Martial Secret Realm—a trial for the younger generation.
So, no matter how potent these illusions were, they couldn’t alter the reality that Su Yi’s strength was genuine. As a Soul Tamer, he repeatedly turned peril into safety.
This also astonished Su Yi. For any ordinary cultivator in the sixth or seventh stage of the Yuan Spirit Realm, it would be nearly impossible to escape.
“Huff…”
Su Yi took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset. The place was extremely draining on his vitality. Even though he had made few moves, the toll was significant.
“Quack!”
A sharp screech pierced the air as a blood-red ferocious bird swooped down from the void. The forest around him trembled, branches snapping as its razor-sharp claws, resembling hooks, lunged toward Su Yi.
Su Yi looked up and quickly took a swift step backward.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, the ground beneath Su Yi began to sink, exposing a giant pit right under his feet. At the same time, a massive swirling vortex appeared around him, with an ominous aura rising from its bottomless depths.
Caught off guard, Su Yi fell into the pit, the overwhelming force of devouring energy rising from the vortex, threatening to pull him into an endless abyss.
In a moment of panic, Su Yi’s primordial dual wings unfolded behind him, emitting a dazzling crimson light, and he shot into the sky with a deafening roar.
But the devouring force was too potent, wrapping around his body.
As the fierce bird swooped down, its razor-sharp claws capable of tearing space itself, it was already near Su Yi’s forehead.
“Boom!”
In an instant, Su Yi stomped his foot and summoned spiritual wings from his back. Gathering all his strength, he released a palm strike, enveloped in the surge of spiritual energy.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
A crimson light swept through, followed by muffled echoes of energy. The blood-red bird was shattered instantly, transforming into a cascade of crimson light.
The ground returned to its original state as if nothing had occurred.
However, Su Yi felt an enduring sense of dread—everything seemed eerie and inexplicably mysterious. This Sanctified Martial Secret Realm was truly enigmatic.
With no time to waste, and fearing someone might take advantage, Su Yi pressed on.
“How strange… Why is there no one else?”
Su Yi wondered to himself. Hours had passed, and he hadn’t encountered a single person. Given that there were many faster than him, he should have crossed paths with someone by now, unless he had fallen too far behind.
But with his own speed and strength, Su Yi was confident he wouldn’t be last.
“Su Yi, what are you doing here?”
Just then, a figure appeared ahead. It seemed Liu Yunchuan from the Divine Sword School had sensed Su Yi and turned around.
Upon spotting Su Yi, Liu Yunchuan’s face brightened with joy, but also showed a hint of nervousness. He approached quickly, saying, “The Sanctified Martial Secret Realm is very dangerous. Be cautious!”
“It is dangerous,”
Su Yi nodded. He hadn’t expected to encounter Liu Yunchuan, but indeed, he had just seen him ahead.
“Not right!”
Suddenly, Su Yi’s heart jolted in alarm. He snapped back to his senses and instinctively took a step back. Using a technique, he altered his appearance. Liu Yunchuan didn’t recognize him at all. Even if he did, it would be as Yi Su from the Overlord Sect, not as Su Yi.
“Boom!”
At that very moment, Liu Yunchuan struck. He threw a punch that landed directly on Su Yi’s chest with thunderous force.
Su Yi quickly stepped back, redirecting the impact.
“An illusion!”
Su Yi realized the Liu Yunchuan before him was just another illusion, like those lingering phantoms.
“Boom!”
With a powerful palm strike, a wave of scorching energy surged as Su Yi seized the moment to strike at Liu Yunchuan.
“Boom!”
Liu Yunchuan’s figure shattered, turning into a cascade of light and fading away.
“Deng deng…”
Su Yi staggered slightly. Though he had lessened the force, he was still affected. Fortunately, he avoided serious injury.
“What a close call!”
Su Yi was truly startled. If it had been even a little closer, the illusion’s apparent strength could have had unimaginable consequences.
“No, something’s wrong!”
Su Yi refused to leave. Something felt off. Hours had passed, and he hadn’t seen anyone. The entire place was full of illusory images—far too abnormal.
Just as he thought about the lack of others, he suddenly saw Liu Yunchuan again.
Su Yi released his soul power, carefully scanning his surroundings. After a moment of contemplation, he calmed his mind and slowly closed his eyes.
He realized something must be amiss, though he hadn’t figured out exactly what yet.
“Swoosh!”
In the void, something shifted. Not far off, on a towering ancient tree, a massive bronze-colored python reappeared. Its enormous mouth opened wide, charging at Su Yi, intent on devouring him.
“Boom!”
At the same time, the ground beneath Su Yi sank again, creating a vortex that unleashed devouring energy. The force swept toward Su Yi’s feet, rendering him immobile.
In that instant, Su Yi’s half-closed eyes snapped open, glowing with a flickering light. A smile curved on his lips as he exclaimed, “So that’s what’s going on! I understand now!”
“Boom!”
Energy surged beneath Su Yi’s feet. He stomped down, sending waves of power rushing forward, and punched directly at the ancient bronze python.
