“This is not completely an illusion,”
David frowned. He felt that his connection with the outside world had weakened greatly, and the flow of power within his body had become rather slow. “This is spatial displacement, or domain suppression. We have been pulled into a special trial space.”
David was convinced that this was a real space, not an illusion. After all, David had the Origin of Illusion, and if it was an illusion, he would have noticed it already.
That sudden change in environment could only be explained by one thing: they were pulled into another space by some force.
Perhaps this space overlaps with the Eye of the Ruins. In their view, it was as if the space of the Eye of the Ruins was collapsing, revealing another space.
As soon as David finished speaking, starlight gathered in the starry sky in front of him, converging into three blurry figures.
The figures gradually became clearer, revealing three figures wearing simple linen clothes, with their hair tied in a high bun, their faces were blurry but their auras were vast and boundless.
They didn’t carry any weapons, just standing there quietly, but they seemed to be one with the entire starry sky, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
“A glimpse of an ancient Qi cultivator? Or the manifestation of a restriction?”
David felt goosebumps on his back. Although the energy intensity of these three figures did not seem to exceed the Immortal Lord realm, the essence of their power and the way they used it exuded a terrifying aura that was reminiscent of simplicity.
The figure in the middle slowly raised his hand, pointing at David, and a majestic but indifferent voice echoed directly in the minds of the two.
“Future cultivators who wish to enter our cave abode will have to pass three tests. This is the first test, which will assess your ‘strength control’ and ‘adaptability’.”
“If you are able to tarnish our image or last as long as an incense stick burns, you can pass.”
Before the words were even finished, the three figures moved simultaneously.
There were no dazzling magical lights, no earth-shaking performances.
The figure on the left stepped forward, the meteorite under his feet quietly turned into dust, and his entire body shot straight towards the Red Cloud Demon Lord like a cannonball.
A punch was thrown. The force of the punch was condensed to the extreme, compressing the air until it formed a visible white shockwave, causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly.
The figure on the right raised both hands in a gesture of respect, and starlight gathered around him, turning into a long, shimmering whip. The tip of the whip trembled slightly, like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue, aiming at David.
The trajectory is unpredictable and contains a sense of limited space.
The figure in the middle is the strangest. He did not attack directly, but instead sat cross-legged and formed strange hand seals with both hands.
In that instant, David and the Red Cloud Demon King felt the gravity of the surrounding starry sky increase dozens of times!
Moreover, the direction of gravity was constantly changing, sometimes pulling downwards and sometimes pulling to the left, which was very strange and greatly disturbed their balance and strength.
“What a strange method!” roared the Red Cloud Demon Lord, his demonic body writhing as he prepared for the ancient and unadorned blow coming his way.
Explosion!
Their fists and claws clashed, producing a dull and thunderous sound.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord was forced back three steps by the shockwave from the blow, leaving several bloody marks on his demonic arm.
“Hiss That’s amazing power! And the power is so powerful!”
On the other hand, David wielded the Dragon Slayer Sword, his sword energy surging as he tried to sever the starlight whip.
However, the whip was unusually agile, as if it had a life of its own, coiling around his body instead of attacking directly. The whip constantly deflects and redirects its power, leaving David feeling frustrated at having power but not knowing where to use it.
At the same time, the unexpected gravity caused him to stagger, and his sword moves frequently missed.
“This can’t go on!”
A sharp glint appeared in David’s eyes. He realized that the attack methods of these three remaining shadows were completely different from the way today’s cultivators released and changed the form of their energy.
It places more emphasis on concentration and application of the essence of power as well as controlling the environment.
“Since you are testing your control, try mine too!”
David took a deep breath, no longer pursuing the grace and power of sword movements, but instead focused his mind on his body.
Within his dantian, the light of the ancient stars flowed, and he attempted to mobilize the four originally fused powers, not just by stacking them, but by searching for their resonance points.
