Chapter 419: Terrifying Eye Technique! The War's End, Overseas' Defeat! (Part 1)

September 15, 2024

"What's so special about Yellow Dragon Island? Your array formations are stronger, but when it comes to the strength of the younger generation of disciples, how can you compare to us from Wind Deity Island?"

"Indeed, we from Wind Deity Island are the ones everyone looks up to!"

"Hmph, Wind Deity Island and Yellow Dragon Island? You're just relying on the legacy of your ancestors. The only ones who truly stand on their own are us from Heartless Island. Our first sequence disciples can..."

"Pfft, Heartless Island is nothing!"

"..."

Zuo Yu and Yaya were mingling among the crowd, but before they could gather any information or engage in conversations, the younger generation of cultivators started arguing.

And the argument was only intensifying.

After listening quietly for a moment, they realized that these people were arguing about who was more impressive.

Some even seemed ready to take action.

"No wonder the Sky Gazing Mirror sent us to Yellow Dragon Island. This place is the most suitable," Yaya said with her Divine Sense. "They look down on each other, and they're all young and arrogant, thinking they won't lose to the Celestial Prodigies from the mainland, not even the Saint Sons."

"And your Beyond Heaven God can currently modify others' will, but there are many restrictions. It can't be modified too drastically, but these people already want to go out, so it's just following the natural course of events, right?"

"What you said is true, Senior Sister," Zuo Yu thought with a smile.

This was too smooth and easy! He didn't even have to think; just following the natural course of events was enough. He had originally thought that modifying others' will would be quite consuming, and he might only be able to send a few top Celestial Prodigies out to kill.

But now it seemed...

This modification was incredibly minor; he could quietly modify their wills without anyone noticing!

However, to do it quietly, he also needed to make sure everyone 'stared' at him...

He needed to step forward discreetly.

Zuo Yu cleared his throat and casually set up a soundproofing array.

In an instant, everyone turned to look at Zuo Yu, and his eyes met each person's gaze one by one as he spoke, "Everyone, let's maintain peace and harmony. Peace and harmony is the best!"

"Don't ruin the harmony."

"Peace and harmony?!" someone scoffed. "Heartless Island is the best!"

This statement provoked discontent among the crowd.

"Nonsense! What's so great about Yellow Dragon Island?"

"Are you saying Wind Deity Island is nothing?"

"We from Clear Spring Island..."

"Everyone, everyone!"

Zuo Yu sighed helplessly, "I know everyone wants to prove themselves, and no one wants to back down. But even if we argue for ten or a hundred days, will there be a result?"

"No matter how long or intense the argument, the final outcome will still be that no one backs down. If you really want to determine a winner, why not..."

"Pfft, you think we don't want to?" A Heartless Island disciple rolled their eyes. "Now, fighting is prohibited on the island! If it weren't for this, I'd let you know how powerful Heartless Island is!"

"Who's afraid of whom?"

"Turtles fear hammers!"

The others also shouted.

Zuo Yu rubbed his forehead, "I understand what you mean."

"But arguing like this does make us seem rather incompetent. Since we can't fight on the island, why not go outside, have a battle, and then return after determining a winner?"

"I know a small path...cough, there's actually a teleportation array."

"As long as we quietly set up an array to block detection and go and return quickly, we probably won't be discovered."

"So, that's the plan?"

At this moment, more and more people were having their wills modified by the Beyond Heaven God.

True and false, false and true.

Yaya listened for a while and discovered that the discussion was gradually being influenced by the modified wills.

"Interesting, then let's go out and fight. It'll be a good opportunity to show who is just all talk and no action!"

"That's what I was thinking. Since we can all go out, why fight among ourselves? Why not target those Saint Sons and Holy Daughters instead? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Indeed, since everyone believes they're not weaker than those Saint Sons and Holy Daughters and can kill them, why not make hunting them our goal? That way, the outcome will be clear!"

"That's a good idea, but it's not easy to find them! They're always hidden, using the Sky Gazing Mirror."

"It's simple! Just as we want to hunt them, they want to hunt us Celestial Prodigies! But there are many powerful cultivators on Yellow Dragon Island, so they dare not attack us. However, once we leave the island, the Sky Gazing Mirror will immediately detect us, so there's no need for us to find them!"

"Exactly! We don't need to look for them; they'll come to us."

"They won't dare to come if we're too close to Yellow Dragon Island."

"That's right, that's right!"

"Hmph, so be it!"

"Of course, and Wind Deity Island is the fastest!"

"Clear Spring Island is the best!"

"Yellow Dragon Island disciples are the strongest and most orthodox!"

"..."

"Are you all going to keep arguing?"

Zuo Yu spoke softly, and everyone fell silent.

Then, someone asked, "Where's the path? And the teleportation array?"

"It's there, of course," Yaya replied. "But we can't just leave so openly, or we'll be noticed immediately. We need to set up an array to block detection temporarily so that the island's powerful cultivators won't realize we've left. After we kill those Saint Sons and Holy Daughters, we'll have made a great contribution. When we return in glory, there won't be any punishment, and we might even receive a great reward!"

"That's a good idea!"

A Clear Spring Island sequence disciple stepped forward, "It's just an array. We from Clear Spring Island are experts in this. We'll take care of the blocking array!"

"Clear Spring Island disciples, listen up! Set up the array immediately!"

The Clear Spring Island disciples stepped out of the crowd and began setting up the array.

"Hmph, just a formation array, it's not that hard to be seen through? Wind Deity Island disciples, follow me and let's create some illusions to fool them!"

"Just a formation array and illusions aren't enough. We need some noise to make the elders think we're still here. Heartless Island disciples, it's your turn!"

"Hmph, these are all petty tricks. Watch as we use Yellow Dragon Island's secret techniques..."

The elites from the various islands demonstrated their extraordinary abilities, each one more impressive than the next.

Zuo Yu continued to look for opportunities to make eye contact with the remaining people.

As for YaYa, she was stunned by what she saw and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This was too... forward!

It was like sharpening a knife to kill oneself.

And they were sharpening it with such enthusiasm and eagerness!

But these people had skills, they weren't just all talk. With their combined efforts, they quickly created a nearly perfect 'scene'.

Unless a powerful cultivator came to investigate personally, it would not be discovered in a short time.

"Amazing!"

Zuo Yu exclaimed, "Follow me, everyone!"

The two of them led the group onto a 'small path' indicated by the Sky Gazing Mirror and eventually took out a teleportation formation they had prepared beforehand. To avoid raising suspicions, Zuo Yu added, "I'm naturally lazy."

"I was always forced by my master to seclude myself in closed-door cultivation, and I got bored. So, I secretly prepared a teleportation formation, thinking that if I had the chance, I'd sneak out to have some fun."

"But I never thought it would come in handy now. Who wants to go first?"

The teleportation formation wasn't big.

When lying, one must create a complete story. This way, the consumption of the Beyond Heaven God's power was reduced! After all, everyone had their own independent thoughts, and the more 'will' that needed to be altered, the greater the consumption and the more loopholes there would be.

Therefore, the fewer loopholes, the better.

So, this teleportation formation could only accommodate three to five people at a time.

"I'll go first!"

"No, let me go."

"What are you? If the Saint Sons and Holy Daughters come after us as soon as we leave, can you handle them? Or should I, as the First Sequence, go and suppress them all!"

Soon, they started arguing again.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, so they didn't fight directly. Instead, they formed small groups of three to five and left through the teleportation formation.

The glow of the teleportation formation lit up one after another.

The number of cultivators present gradually decreased.

In the end, Zuo Yu and YaYa exchanged a glance, both with smiles on their faces.

"It worked," Zuo Yu nodded. "It was much easier than I imagined. I guessed that most of them would be dissatisfied and want to fight with us inland geniuses, but I didn't expect their emotions to be so intense."

"I only had to slightly stir their emotions, and they couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts, so they chose to go out..."

"The consumption was less than one percent of what I imagined."

"That's great. Since it's like this, let's follow the plan and head to the next island without delay."

"Good!"

Just as the two of them were about to set off, a huge hand suddenly descended from the sky.

"Who dares to disturb the peace!"

"Where are those overseas geniuses?!"

A late-stage Ninth Stage cultivator sensed something amiss and angrily took action.

He couldn't see through the identities of YaYa and Zuo Yu, but he had previously sensed spatial fluctuations and came to check immediately. From afar, he discovered that the geniuses who were supposed to be on Yellow Dragon Island were all gone, having used the teleportation formation!

There was no need to think further; the two in front of him were definitely suspicious.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the attack range, he took action, preparing to capture and soul-search the two to understand the situation.

"Hmph!"

YaYa looked up, her eyes flashing with brilliance. "Path Severing Technique!"

Boom!

Her spiritual power erupted, transforming into a sharp spiritual blade that instantly tore through the void and appeared ten thousand miles away.

The late-stage Ninth Stage cultivator's heart skipped a beat. "Not good!"

He sensed something amiss, and his keen spiritual perception told him that this attack would be unbearable!

But the attack was too fast, leaving him no time to dodge. In an instant, he was hit right between the eyebrows.

"Wahhhh!"

He howled in agony, an indescribable pain spreading throughout his soul, causing him to struggle and scream like a drowning fish, gasping for breath.

"Let's go."

YaYa grabbed Zuo Yu, and using the Xing Character Secret Technique, they departed at the fastest speed.

There was no desire to prolong the fight!

Since they had been discovered, the other party would surely notify the other powerful cultivators of Yellow Dragon Island immediately. If they were surrounded, it would be troublesome. So, they quickly retreated after repelling the opponent! Moreover, they still had their mission to complete.

Zuo Yu didn't hesitate either, but he glanced at the Ninth Stage cultivator who was howling in agony.

The cultivator froze for a moment, then began to roll around in the air, his screams doubling in volume.

"Ahh!"

"Fire, so much fire!"

"Where did this black flame come from? It hurts, it hurts so much!"

At this moment, he didn't look like a powerful Ninth Stage cultivator at all.

Instead, he resembled an ordinary person enduring excruciating pain.

YaYa witnessed everything, feeling a bit surprised.

Although they had quickly left the area, even their spiritual senses couldn't perceive it, but the other party's miserable state was still vivid in her mind.

"What did you do?"

"He looks like he's being burned by some powerful flame, but there's no flame at all!"

"It's not a big deal."

Zuo Yu scratched his head. "It's just an illusion technique. After all, I'm most proficient in illusion techniques."

"A rather unique hallucination technique, Master has named it 'Moon Reader'."

"In simple terms, it causes the affected person to perceive time as slowing down. While only a minute passes in the real world, in the hallucination, it could be a day, or even a month."

"At the same time, within the hallucination, they will suffer relentless torment and agony."

"The torment I inflict is the Unceasing Inferno of Senior Sister."

"..."

YaYa's lips twitched slightly, "So, he will be burned by the Unceasing Inferno for at least a day in the illusion?"

"Moon Reader is still not perfect," Zuo Yu mused. "However, since he was hit by your technique, his soul is scattered. This Moon Reader should be able to trap him for at least a month."

"But someone will come to his aid soon, so I'm not sure how long I can torment him."

"But it should be at least three to five days, right?"

"..."

YaYa's heart secretly trembled.

Hallucination techniques are quite 'idealist' in nature.

And very 'special'.

Firstly, their specialty lies in the fact that if the opponent is strong enough to be immune to the hallucination, then it becomes the most useless of all, not to mention causing harm, but even breaking through their defenses or making them take a second glance is impossible.

They simply ignore it!

But if they can't be immune and have fallen for the technique...

then it becomes quite interesting.

Once affected and unable to dispel the hallucination, it becomes incredibly fearsome.

Furthermore, if a Ninth Stage cultivator is affected and the hallucination makes them believe they are just an ordinary person, they will truly think they are just an ordinary person!

Considering the strength of this late-stage Ninth Stage cultivator.

If Zuo Yu sets a hallucination where an ordinary person is burned by the Unceasing Inferno in the Moon Reader world...

And this burning lasts for several days or even a month, just the thought of it is terrifying.

Upon this realization, YaYa couldn't help but say, "It seems I should stay away from you in the future and must never provoke you. Otherwise, I might not even realize I've been affected."

"Senior Sister is joking."

"How can my meager abilities be a match for yours?"

"Moreover, I wouldn't dare to attack you."

Zuo Yu chuckled silently.

"..."

"..."

"They're here!"

Wu Jiejie remained calm, but when she spoke, the Night Demon and the Saint Sons instantly became excited.

"It's really done."

Zhao Wuyi's gaze slightly intensified, "Zuo Yu? It seems you will become one of the greatest rivals to my Saint Son in the future. I need to deepen my understanding of you."

He was unaware of the details.

He didn't know how Zuo Yu and the other person had infiltrated so silently.

But with such infiltration skills, coupled with this astonishing hallucination technique, they couldn't be taken lightly. If they only had the hallucination, one could be cautious and not overly afraid. But the fact that they could also infiltrate Yellow Dragon Island without a sound, their mysterious and unpredictable methods, combined with the terrifying hallucination, warranted caution.

After all, if they suddenly appeared before him and then glared fiercely...

It would indeed be difficult to resist! "It's time to stretch my muscles."

The Fifth Swordheart spoke softly, "We sword cultivators do find it more comforting to compete and face life-and-death situations."

"Who can argue with that?" The Night Demon chuckled.

"Let's go, we don't want to keep them waiting."

"..."

The hunt began.

Yellow Dragon Island, Wind Deity Island, and other Celestial Prodigies were all confident.

Of course, some were genuinely confident, some were putting up a front for the sake of appearances, and some knew that the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters were formidable, feeling apprehensive. But since everyone else was putting on a show, how could they back down?

Therefore...

None of them would back down, each one more intimidating than the last.

It was also because of this that Zuo Yu found it especially easy to modify their will.

And now, they all felt invincible!

They believed that the so-called Saint Sons and Saint Daughters were nothing but insignificant mortals, easily destroyed with a snap of their fingers! When facing each other,

they had no fear, instead, they felt incredibly confident, each one colder and more domineering than the last.

"Hehe, so these are the Celestial Prodigies of the continent?"

"At first glance, they are not that impressive."

"Their cultivation is even inferior to mine."

"They do look like ordinary people, but who knows how strong they truly are?"

"I am from the Heartless Dao, Third Sequence. You Saint Sons and Saint Daughters, prepare to meet your end!"

The Saint Sons and Saint Daughters: "..."

Xiao Ling'er and other Moon Holding Sect disciples: "..."

For a moment, they all felt 'shocked'.

This was indeed outrageous!

"Those who don't know the truth might even think they are the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters, while we are just nameless pawns," Xu Fenglai couldn't help but comment.

Shi Hao nodded vigorously, "Indeed, they don't seem that strong."

Before he could finish...

Bang!

The arrogant and provocative Heartless Dao, Third Sequence, was blasted by a punch from the Night Demon!

The Yellow Dragon Island cultivators were stunned!

A sense of fear began to spread among them.

They had tried to act tough, and after having their will modified, they truly felt invincible, considering the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters as insignificant. They were prepared to fight to the death.

But even with this mindset, it was enough.

"With this, they dare call themselves Celestial Prodigies?"

"They can't even withstand a single punch from my Saint Son. What a joke."

"Who else is there?!"

"..."

"I'll take care of this!"

The First Sequence of Yellow Dragon Island stepped forward, albeit reluctantly.
