Chapter 2751 Breaking Through Illusions
I've heard of standardized armor and weapons, but I've never heard of standardized lighting equipment. So—
“This is a magical artifact! It’s the magical artifact they use to perform specific supernatural powers, which is why it must be lit.” Immortal Mingke’s eyes flashed, and he said to the little stone golem, “Let the stone golem try to specialize in the levitation lamp.”
The little stone man nodded.
Sure enough, more than ten stone golems changed their attack method and suddenly attacked the small lamps next to the immortals and demons. Their first reaction was to defend, but when they attacked, they revealed their physical form, and the stone golems could hit them; however, two stone golems still managed to hit the floating lamps unexpectedly.
The lights went out in an instant, and correspondingly, the figures of the immortals and demons vanished abruptly. Instead, their shadows on the ground "stood" up out of thin air, transforming from a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional one!
Immortal Mingke was taken aback, but then suddenly realized:
"No wonder we couldn't hit them; they swapped their real and fake forms with their shadows!"
In bright light, objects cast shadows. No one notices the shadows.
These immortals and demons used divine magic, combined with levitation lamps, to swap positions with their shadows on the ground. No matter how the stone golems and the guards attacked, hitting the shadows was like hitting thin air, leaving nothing behind.
Having deciphered the secret of the immortals and demons, the little stone man immediately ordered his stone golems to attack the immortals' and demons' floating lamps or their ground shadows.
This move was indeed remarkably effective; the immortals and demons hidden in the shadows all made their moves and could no longer conceal themselves.
Immortal Mingke was greatly encouraged and dispatched the guards and cultivators to intercept them.
Seeing that actual combat was unavoidable, the immortals and demons also had new countermeasures.
They had originally planned to use an effortless trick to find the entrance to the Panlong Secret Realm, but now that their invisibility tactic had been exposed, then—
Geng Yue said coldly, "Let's just have a fair fight."
As he spoke, he pressed something into his palm and rubbed it repeatedly before gently tossing it into the air:
"According to!"
This is a round mirror the size of a rouge box. After being thrown into the sky, it stopped a hundred feet above the ground and suddenly shone brightly!
Those myriad rays of light were even more intense than the sun, and when they shone on the mist of the Earth Mother Plain, they even hissed.
The thick fog gradually thinned and soon dissipated under the sunlight, restoring a clear blue sky.
The ethereal, misty, and mysterious realm of the Earth Mother Plain was thus shattered.
Immortal Mingke clenched his fists: "How is this possible!"
When he and the Earth Mother tried to claim this secret realm, they used numerous methods, but none could dispel the dense fog. How did the Heavenly Demon manage to do it so easily?
He didn't know that this round mirror was a treasure left behind by Miaozhantian, capable of seeing through most of the world's delusions.
Besides the fog, the disguises of the buildings on the Earth Mother Plain were also exposed, revealing the true forms of many "Panlong Ancient Cities".
What ancient city? It's just some old buildings.
The reason the Heavenly Demon didn't use the mirror artifact earlier was because it could also reveal the secret of the Floating Lamp's image swapping. But now that this divine technique has been discovered by Cang Yan's side, the Heavenly Demon no longer needs to hide it.
Each side broke through one of the other's illusions, resulting in a temporary draw.
However, Immortal Mingke knew perfectly well that the situation was extremely unfavorable to his side!
Yang Sheng led nine hundred soldiers out to support the Crown Prince of Shen, leaving only six hundred soldiers to guard the Dimu Plain.
The Earth Mother returned to the Dragon-Trapping Cave for rest and recuperation, not for troop transport or combat. Therefore, she brought very few troops, cultivators, and monsters with her, giving her opponents a golden opportunity.
With the whereabouts of the Earth Mother herself unknown, the presence of dozens of immortals and demons has already revealed the weakness of the Earth Mother Plain's defenses.
Now that the Misty Realm has been breached again, it's only a matter of time before the enemy finds the Panlong Ruins.
Before he could finish these thoughts, a green shadow flew back, circling around Immortal Mingke. He caught it in his hand, and then heard Yang Sheng's urgent voice in his ear:
"We've fallen into a trap! Three thousand Bega soldiers and more than ten immortal demons have attacked from fifteen miles northeast of Kunlong Cave. Ling Xianren stayed behind to cover our retreat!"
Ming Ke Xianren's mind went blank for a moment, and he first used the Qingfeng Technique to contact Ling Jinbao.
They usually use this method to communicate.
However, this time, even after making the hand seals for a while, the other side did not react.
Had something really happened? Immortal Mingke rushed to Panlong South City Square in two steps.
Inside the tower in the square are three low niches, each containing an ever-burning lamp.
These three lamps correspond to the lives of three immortals.
There was no wind in the city, but the life lamp representing Ling Jinbao, which had been burning well, suddenly hissed and was reduced to a tiny flame right before his eyes, swaying left and right, extremely weak.
The state of the life lamp indicates that Ling Jinbao is in danger and his life is in imminent peril.
Immortal Mingke was startled: "Immortal Ling!"
Ling Jinbao had only recently become an immortal, and his cultivation was still far from that of veteran immortals. How could he possibly stop those dozen or so demons on his own? Immortal Ming Ke felt a pang of anxiety just thinking about it.
Ling Jinbao didn't need to step forward to cover the rear, but he chose to stay and fight to the death without hesitation, to repay the kindness shown to him by the Nine Nether Emperor.
He was naturally free-spirited and unrestrained. Mingke Xianren had only known him for a little over three years, but they became fast friends and considered each other confidants.
What should we do? The Earth Mother Plains are currently short-handed and are also facing an invasion by the main force of the Heavenly Demons. How can we rescue Ling Jinbao?
Just as he was panicking, a gust of wind blew by, and two voices came:
"Brother Mingke, has Yang Sheng brought the Crown Prince of Shen back to Pingyuan?"
"What is the situation on the plains?"
It was Ling Jinbao's voice transmission.
He's still alive! Immortal Mingke was overjoyed: "How are you? Are you badly injured?"
"I won't die." Ling Jinbao smiled bitterly. "These immortals and demons are so powerful. My sect has captured so many great demons over the generations, and we almost couldn't stop them."
"I was so focused on fighting that I didn't have time to catch your messenger." He paused. "I trapped them in the small cave, and I just ran out myself. I don't think that place can hold them off for long."
"Return to the Earth Mother Plains immediately and fight alongside us!" said Immortal Mingke. "Qingshu Earth Lord can cure you."
Dead immortals are useless, but even if Ling Jinbao is seriously injured, he is still an immortal and one of the most valuable combat forces in the Earth Mother Plain.
"We're heading towards the Dragon-Trapping Cave." Ling Jinbao was flying on his sword; he had to race against time. "Have you engaged the invading Heavenly Demons?"
"Not yet. They mainly rely on the Earth Mother's stone golems to defend themselves. I want to observe their combat capabilities," Immortal Mingke replied. "Previously, these Heavenly Demons used a trick, hiding their true forms in the shadows, so the stone golems couldn't hit them. Now, we've just seen through their trick."
"Don't engage in battle!" Ling Jinbao said immediately. "The enemy has been scheming to move their troops away and invade the Earth Mother Plain. They must have prepared many contingency plans to deal with us. The best course of action right now is to stall."
