Chapter 255: Transforming Reality into Illusion, Enslaving the God King

In the moment when the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord lost his mind.

A huge, gourd-shaped super celestial body emerged.

At the moment when this great talent emerged, the gravitational force formed by the huge curvature of space and time made the earth show signs of collapse.

To be precise, this is a big gourd. The terrifying sucking force enveloped the life form in the Heavenly Venerate Realm that had revealed its true form, and then directly sealed it in this big gourd.

This is the most precious treasure that enabled the ancient celestial master to attain enlightenment, and it is called the Gourd of Eternal Time.

The treasure refining methods in this world are crude, so all kinds of treasures have to be refined with materials of a higher level, which is like a pearl covered in dust.

However, this also brings about a special effect, that is, even if a strong man at the ultimate level of God King wants to break the Gourd of Eternal Time, it is very difficult.

"I didn't expect that the strength of Fellow Daoist Shen's soul impact could actually make Tianzun lose consciousness for a moment. I was negligent."

At this time, when Gu Tianzun looked at Shen Mu, he already called Shen Mu "fellow Taoist".

Shen Mu naturally would not be arrogant, and said with a smile: "It's just some trivial skills, and your understanding of the way of heaven is far from enough. You are not worthy of the title of Taoist friend of Tianzun."

The will of this world is used very roughly and is an appendage of soul attack, without being independent at all.

Therefore, in the eyes of Gu Tianzun, Shen Mu's soul attack was extremely powerful. He mistakenly believed that Shen Mu's soul strength was far beyond the Tianzun realm, so he was so polite.

But Shen Mu is also worthy of being called a fellow Taoist.

In terms of willpower alone, Shen Mu has only surpassed the second level of the God King, which is not the ultimate level.

The ultimate level of will is the sublimation of understanding the ultimate way, which is much stronger than the second limit.

However, with Shen Mu's use of his will and the blessing of the Wanling Treasure Furnace, it is still possible to make his will burst out and sublimate to the ultimate level in an instant.

The impact of the ultimate level of will is enough to make most of the second-level God Kings who do not have the ultimate will lose consciousness for a moment.

Even if the will is at the same ultimate level as the God King, without the secret technique of using the will, it would be impossible to exert its peak strength in front of Shen Mu.

It just so happens that the use of will in this world is too crude.

Therefore, Shen Mu is able to protect himself against most of the Heavenly Masters in this world.

"Fellow Daoist Shen is too polite. Without Fellow Daoist Shen's suppression, I would not be able to suppress the Thunder Body of the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord."

"Thunder body? This Wind and Thunder Demon Lord has two real bodies?"

Shen Mu had just asked, and before Gu Tianzun could reply, he already knew the answer.

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, an endless hurricane swept through and condensed into a gigantic wind-thunder monster bird once again!

"Gumi! Release my thunder body!!!"

This time, the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord realized the danger and did not get close to Shen Mu and Gu Tianzun at all, and stared at Shen Mu with fear.

"Feng Lei, I can't suppress your clone by myself. Fellow Daoist Shen is the main force. You have to ask for Fellow Daoist Shen's opinion."

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord was silent for a moment, staring at Shen Mu, and said in a deep voice: "Human, what is your name?"

"Shen Mu, the origin of the number."

In this world, Shen Mu really didn't dare to call himself Hunyuan anymore.

Only in a remote countryside like the Universe Sea can Shen Mu use the title Hunyuan.

Once he arrives in the real source world, Shen Mu will definitely not be able to continue to call himself Hunyuan, as this would be an act of seeking death.

"Origin, according to the covenant of the various palaces, the life forms of the Heavenly Lord cannot be conquered at will. This time, as long as you are willing to release my body of thunder, I will not report to the temple."

After these words were spoken, Shen Mu was almost filled with question marks.

One of your two true bodies has been suppressed, yet you still dare to act so arrogantly?

Ancient Tianzun on the side also sneered: "Feng Lei, you can report to the Demon God Temple and see if the two top demons of your demon clan are willing to go to war with my Yunhai Fairy Palace for you."

"In addition, it is true that Heavenly Venerable-level beings cannot be conquered at will, but Fellow Daoist Shen has not yet realized the realm of Heavenly Dao, and is not considered a Heavenly Venerable at all."

"Even if you want us to release your body of thunder, you have to pay a price, right?"

"Otherwise, I don't mind suppressing you forever, leaving you without a real body."

Similar methods of condensing clones do exist in this world, but they are mostly innate magical powers.

This Wind and Thunder Demon Lord possesses two true bodies. As long as one of his true bodies survives, he can condense another true body.

But if the two true bodies did not perish but were suppressed, then the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord would be helpless.

In the gourd of eternal time of Gu Tianzun, the passage of time is stagnant, so even if the Wind and Thunder Demon Zun wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't do it.

While Gu Tianzun was making harsh remarks, he was also secretly messaging Shen Mu.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are from the Eastern Divine Dynasty, so you should also know about the covenant of the various palaces. This time, we really cannot suppress the true body of the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord forever."

"But this time it was the demons who were disrespectful first. Fellow Daoist, you can make some requests in exchange for a sufficient price."

"Okay, rest assured, I will make my request."

While Shen Mu and Gu Tianzun were communicating here, the Demon Lord could no longer hold back.

"Gu Mi, Shen Mu... Tell me, what conditions do you want?"

Ancient Tianzun said directly: "I want a thousand epochs of time!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wind and Thunder Demon Lord’s face turned dark.

The so-called thousand years of time refers to the life span of a thousand years.

Whether it is the life of a demon or a human, its lifespan can be extracted and turned into a special substance to prolong people's lifespan.

However, this kind of life extension has a great cost. After achieving the divine realm, the lifespan of any life is ten thousand epochs.

Once the Venerable's ten thousand centuries of lifespan is extracted, it can only condense into a hundred centuries of time to extend the lifespan of others by a hundred centuries.

The ten thousand-eight-thousand-year lifespan of the Heavenly Venerate Realm can be condensed into thousands of years.

As for the Supreme, his lifespan can be condensed into ten thousand epochs.

As for those in the Transcendent Realm, even if their lifespans are extracted, it will only extend the lifespan of those in the Transcendent Realm, and will have no effect on those in the Divine Realm.

"Okay, I'll give you a thousand years of time!!!"

"Now release my body of thunder."

Gu Tianzun snorted coldly: "Fellow Daoist Shen has not yet made any request, you think it's too easy."

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord's expression became even uglier, and his gaze fell on Shen Mu again.

Shen Mu also spoke directly: "I want 100 souls of the demon race's divine realm! Among them must be demon gods who have comprehended the way of souls!"

"Impossible, you want me to die by slaughtering demon gods?"

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord became anxious.

Not to mention killing a hundred demon gods, even if he killed a hundred human venerables, I'm afraid the Demon God Temple would not be able to save him.

The Heavenly Lord cannot slaughter the Venerables at will, except under some special circumstances.

For example... there was a decisive battle between humans and demons.

"Then I want a living demon god who has comprehended the way of the soul."

"no!"

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord still looked unhappy.

"The soul path is rare. I have a follower under my command who has comprehended the realm of illusion. I can give it to you."

"Of course, if it commits suicide under your command, it's not my fault."

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord directly gave up on his follower.

Different from the thinking among humans, although the demon race is called one race, in fact they are ten thousand races. Except for their real members, they do not care about the life and death of others.

"Illusionary Dao...Okay, I agree."

Shen Mu nodded directly, and then the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord looked at Gu Mi and spit out a ray of spiritual light. This was a golden glow, condensed from the flow of time, representing a lifespan of a thousand years.

A thousand epochs of time is basically all the wealth that the Wind and Thunder Demon Lord can come up with in a short period of time.

"Gu Mi, Shen Mu, you all need to swear an oath to the will of heaven and must not break the contract!"

Shen Mu and Gu Tianzun naturally had no objection to this.

"Feng Lei, you also need to swear to the will of Heaven that you cannot secretly control the demon god sent to Fellow Daoist Shen, nor can you threaten or bribe him in any way to deliberately make him commit suicide."

A thousand years of time is a real treasure, and nothing will go wrong once you get it.

But what Shen Mu wants is a living demon god, which gives him a lot of room for maneuver.

The Wind and Thunder Demon Lord must be made to swear an oath in detail to the will of Heaven.

In this world, ordinary venerables swear to the will of heaven, so even if they breach the contract, it will not be too serious.

But Tianzun cannot do that. Once the contract with the Heavenly Dao is signed, it cannot be violated. Otherwise, at best he will be deprived of the control over the original power, at worst he will be backlashed by the Heavenly Dao, or even fall.

"Okay, I will swear as you requested."

As they spoke, the Wind and Thunder Demon Clan took the initiative to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to communicate with the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, the sun above the sky suddenly dimmed, and a special feeling of attention instantly fell on Fenglei Yaozun, Shen Mu, and Gu Tianzun.

At this moment, Shen Mu became alert instantly and looked up at Jiuxiao in the sky.

"The original will actually has such an independent will... This feels like real life!"

"This world... could it be the inner world of a living being?"

At this time, Shen Mu's expression changed slightly.

Shen Mu has made up his mind that even if he has comprehended the Dao Fruit of the second level of the Divine King realm, it will be impossible for him to leave his soul mark in the original space of this world.

It is safer to imprint the soul mark on the Origin Continent.

While Shen Mu was thinking, he and Gu Mi swore to the will of heaven.

The Wind and Thunder Demon Clan also recited the terms given by Gu Mi word for word and completed the oath to the Heaven.

Then, from the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, endless original power of wind and thunder merged into time and space, forming a vortex of time and space.

Immediately afterwards, an illusory dragon-like life emerged from the vortex of time and space.

This dragon life form is very strange, with its head and upper body being the most realistic, and no different from real matter.

Then the lower body gradually became blurred, and at the end there was only an illusory shadow, without the real body.

"Turning reality into illusion!"

Shen Mu couldn't help but see the great truth that this dragon demon god had comprehended at a glance.

These are the two types that have the strongest effect on increasing combat power in the illusion world.

Shen Mu has already started to comprehend one of the methods of practicing falsehood to become true, but it can only be considered a small achievement now, and perfection is still a long way off.

The other kind of transformation from reality to illusion is something that Shen Mu has not really touched upon yet.

Although there is a heritage of this great way in the Chiwu clan's ancestral tower, Shen Mu is unable to manifest this heritage.

"town!"

A vast and powerful impact of will burst out in an instant, completely suppressing the semi-illusory demon dragon.

The demon dragon's will is quite strong. As a being who has achieved the status of a God King through practicing the Way of Illusion, its will can barely be considered as the second level of a God King.

However, under the impact of Shen Mu's will, his thoughts stagnated in an instant.

"Wanling Furnace, go!"

Shen Mu directly used his three major killing moves and used the illusion "Heart Tribulation" to activate the All-Spirit Furnace, directly suppressing the evil dragon inside the furnace.

The impact of will suppresses thinking!

The mysterious light of wisdom obscured the dragon's spirituality and cut off its ability to resist.

The next step is enslavement. This is the first time that the soul of a God King is enslaved.

However, with Shen Mu's understanding of the way of the soul, he can enslave even the second level of the Divine King if they do not resist.

hum!
The illusory soul power intertwined and surged, and began to engrave the control soul seal on the soul of the demon dragon.

When Shen Mu reaches this level, there is no so-called secret method of enslavement.

Soul control is actually a kind of soul path. Whether it is controlling one's own soul or enslaving the souls of others, it is all soul control, which is a branch of the great way.

Seeing Shen Mu suppress the demon god so easily, Gu Tianzun on the side couldn't help but sigh.

Although he could also suppress this demon god, he was definitely not as quick and efficient as Shen Mu.

As expected of a soul at the ultimate level, the power of his illusion is staggering.

"If you don't mind, Fellow Daoist Shen, you can come to my Gu Heng Dynasty to have a chat."

Shen Mu also looked away from the Wanling Furnace and said with a smile: "I will not bother Tianzun for the time being. I have gained some insights from this retreat, and it will take some time for them to settle down."

"In a few years, there will be a meeting of gods. I will definitely visit Tianzun then."

A strange look appeared on Gu Tianzun's face.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you have a soul at the ultimate level, and the illusion you cast can even suppress the old Wind and Thunder Demon for a moment. Why are you still participating in that Gods Conference and bullying those little guys?"

In the eyes of Gu Tianzun, the protectors of the various dynasties under his jurisdiction are just little guys.

Although there are three levels of the divine realm in this world, the lifespans of the Venerable, Heavenly Venerable and Supreme are all ten thousand years.

But both the Heavenly Lord and the Supreme Lord can obtain a large amount of time and years to prolong their lives.

For those in the realm of Venerable, even a century of lifespan is an invaluable treasure.

Only by comprehending the Way of Heaven, condensing the artistic conception of the Way of Heaven, and mobilizing the power of the origin can one extract lifespan and form special substances. This cannot be done by the Venerable Realm.

Furthermore, if it were not for the protection of the palace alliance, ordinary venerables would only be the life-extending elixir of these ancient celestial masters and supreme masters.

"This time, I have accepted the kindness of Mr. Yan, the former venerable of the Chiwu clan, so naturally I have to fulfill the agreement."

Seeing Shen Mu’s statement, Gu Tianzun shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, if Fellow Daoist Shen wants to play, then go ahead. I will keep today's events a secret, and no one else will know Fellow Daoist's strength."

"Thank you, Lord."

Seeing that this ancient celestial master thought that he was deliberately bullying the child, Shen Mu was too lazy to explain anything.

As soon as he finished speaking, the space and time around Gu Tianzun twisted, forming a vortex that wrapped around himself.

"Daoyou, see you in a thousand years."

"I'm sure you'll bother me!"

After Gu Tianzun left, Shen Mu's figure slowly fell to the ground.

At this time, at the foot of Shenlu Mountain, more than a dozen elders of the Chiwu clan watched everything that had just happened, and looked at Shen Mu in shock.

Shen Mu didn't explain anything and just waved his right hand.

The Wanling Furnace, which had shrunk countless times, fell directly into Shen Mu's palm, spinning around and scattering colorful clouds.

"Come out."

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, a stream of light flew out from the Wanling Furnace, reappearing as the body of the demon dragon.

An endless illusion was surging around the semi-illusive demon dragon, forming an image of all spirits paying homage.

"Phantom Mist, meet the Master!"

The demon dragon Huanwu saluted Shen Mu respectfully, and the expression in its dragon eyes when it looked at Shen Mu was full of fanaticism.
