For some reason, it all felt so unreal. Even though Zhaixing was standing right in front of him, why did he feel so unfamiliar?
Qin Chuan was always confident in his senses, but there was no way to explain it; it was just a strange feeling that sent chills down his spine.
This was only possible because of his strength and Heavenly Dao Divine Sense; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have this feeling at all.
Golden Divine Eye!
At this moment, Qin Chuan dared not be careless, so he used his Golden Divine Eye to look over. This look made Qin Chuan involuntarily narrow his eyes.
Everything in Qin Chuan's field of vision had changed. Zhaixing City was gone; this was an endless graveyard, and Zhaixing was just a skeleton.
The surrounding ground was covered in bones, completely deserted. This was the real world. Everything he had seen and experienced before was actually an illusion.
This was someone's illusion. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qin Chuan's body. If it weren't for his breakthrough with the Golden Divine Eye, he might not have seen the truth.
This world was terrifying. Without strength, one truly wouldn't even know how they died. Qin Chuan frowned.
Who knows me so well that they could create such an illusion based on me? That's quite a feat, and they're really good to me…
Qin Chuan wasn't particularly afraid, but he was still a little worried. After all, the enemy knew him too well, because they knew about Zhaixing. Was Zhaixing City created randomly, or did they know Zhaixing was previously in Zhaixing City?
How is Zhaixing now?
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan trembled slightly. Zhaixing was a pitiful woman; her life had been very difficult. If anyone had targeted her or done anything to her, Qin Chuan would never let them get away with it. White
bones were scattered everywhere, except for one skeleton standing there. Its bones gleamed with a white jade-like luster, possessing a spiritual quality.
Qin Chuan used his Dragon-Seeking Technique to sense Zhaixing; her aura was still there, meaning she was still alive.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief. Often, illusions are automatically formed based on the target's thoughts—whatever the target is thinking, whatever is easily formed in their consciousness, that's what will be formed.
Even the person who created the illusion doesn't know what's actually happening within it. Thinking of this, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Chuan withdrew his Golden Divine Eye, and what appeared before him was still the bustling street. Zhaixing was simply looking at him with a faint smile in her eyes.
Qin Chuan was shocked. The opponent could create such a vast illusionary world; how terrifying was her spiritual power? Who was behind this?
The fact that the opponent was targeting him meant they must know him, and their connection must be deep, but Qin Chuan didn't know who it was.
It seemed he could only find a weakness in this skeleton. His Golden Divine Eye flashed, and the world before him vanished.
The illusion was broken, because the Golden Divine Eye could easily find its weaknesses, making it utterly vulnerable.
The terrifying thing about illusions is that if you can't break them, you're doomed; you'll definitely die within them.
But if you know the method, illusions are the easiest thing to break. Illusions can also be called illusion arrays.
What he was facing was a grand illusion array, based on the illusion array laid out in the graveyard. He didn't know if Qin Chuan had stumbled upon it by accident or was being targeted.
So Qin Chuan was increasingly confused. At first, he felt the other person was an enemy who understood him; later, he felt it was an enemy who knew him; now, he wondered if he had unwittingly entered a giant illusionary array…
Bang!
Bones shattered, and everything returned to silence. Qin Chuan couldn't find the person behind it all, didn't know who was behind it, or what their purpose was. He didn't
even know if this place was owned. Qin Chuan lingered here for a long time, searching everywhere, but ultimately found no clues.
This made Qin Chuan very unhappy. He was confident enough in his Golden Divine Eye; since the Golden Divine Eye hadn't seen anything, he would just consider it an accident.
Qin Chuan looked at the endless graveyard around him. What was once a glacier was now a graveyard. Qin Chuan was puzzled; how could there be such a huge graveyard here?
This graveyard was also strange, because although the graves seemed irregular, Qin Chuan quickly discovered that there was still a pattern to it.
He still hadn't escaped the environment. This was a mirror within a mirror, an illusion within an illusion. Qin Chuan's heart trembled; he had underestimated his opponent.
Qin Chuan's figure swiftly moved within the formation. His Golden Divine Eyes quickly located the formation's core, and he unleashed the Divine Forging Sword Hammer, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The surrounding graveyards vanished, the white bones disappeared, and then the formation returned to its former glory as Star-Picking City.
Star-Picking City remained, but it was no longer Star-Picking City; instead, it belonged to someone Qin Chuan recognized, someone he had once considered his rival.
Even Qin Chuan's inability to stop was due to these people, and this person was their leader:
the Golden Dragon Prince, the Golden Dragon Prince of the Northern Frontier Empire.
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing him. This person had once made Qin Chuan feel immense pressure, and now it seemed his initial concerns were valid.
While Qin Chuan's own progress had been rapid over the years, this person's progress had been even faster, because Qin Chuan now finally knew what the other's lineage was:
the Demon Dragon King's lineage!
In the future, he might still be a member of the Twelve-Winged Demon Dragon Palace, and Qin Chuan himself possessed a Divine Dragon lineage. This made them destined rivals.
When they reached the Nine Heavens, they would undoubtedly be enemies, destined rivals. Whether it was a life-or-death struggle was unimportant, because as long as they were rivals, a life-or-death struggle was possible.
Now that the Golden Dragon Prince has appeared, Qin Chuan wonders if the others have shown up.
He's never forgotten these people, and he knew before that they would go far, making them his greatest enemies.
The Golden Dragon Prince looked at Qin Chuan with a cruel, playful smile. Qin Chuan's gaze remained calm; he was simply shocked by the Golden Dragon Prince's strength.
The other was also a quasi-Immortal Emperor, but at least five or six minor realms higher than him. However, Qin Chuan wasn't afraid of him now; if they really fought, he felt little pressure.
What surprised Qin Chuan was the other's strength and realm. He knew his own strength and realm had improved rapidly these past few days, but the Golden Dragon Prince had improved even faster.
Furthermore, the Golden Dragon Prince's methods were terrifying; he could create such a powerful illusion. It seemed he had encountered many fortuitous events over the years.
Having been tricked, Qin Chuan wouldn't be happy without giving the other something in return, which wasn't his style. So, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered.
A golden vortex appeared, and then, to the Golden Dragon Prince's astonished and panicked gaze, Qin Chuan and the Golden Dragon Prince vanished from their spot.
Golden Divine Prison.
Qin Chuan could also create illusions, but they weren't powerful enough. Besides, the Golden Dragon Prince was an expert in illusions. After thinking it over, this one was the most ruthless.
