Chapter 225 Ch 225: Illusion
But there was a Martial Emperor who was unaware of Valerio's true strength. He doesn't know who Valerio actually is and why his companions were so afraid of him. But he could no longer hold any more. He roared at Valerio: "You are too arrogant. Although we are no match to you and you could save these people, how will you explain this to the Rasen Family?"
"Don't think that just because your cultivation is strong you can do whatever you want. We have nine Martial Emperors here. If the nine of us join forces, we might not necessarily lose to you!"
"Nine Martial Emperors?" Elder Valerio frowned slightly. Then he raised his hand and pointed at the bearded man.
"Chi!"
No one could see the energy waves on Elder Valerio's finger.
However, that Martial Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain had a bloody hole in his forehead as he fell to the ground, dead!
"Hiss!"
The entire audience sucked in a breath of cold air.
A Martial Emperor Stage expert was killed without the strength to resist by a single finger?
Just how powerful was Elder Valerio?
Elder Valerio sighed and said, "That's why you have to be honest and not brag. Not to mention Martial Emperors, even 'Void' Stage experts are nothing in front of me."
Valerio Piroddi is a legend in Three Cultivation Lands. He only appeared a few hundred years ago but became very famous. No one knew how powerful he is, but they knew they could not afford to offend him.
As for why Valerio entered the Profound Star Sect as a guest elder, no one knows this as well. It was also a mystery.
Up till now, no one that had exchanged moves with Elder Valerio had ever been able to withstand a single move from him.
What kind of domineering aura and power he has?
In the many circulating stories, Elder Valerio uses a sword. But no one has ever seen him using his sword.
When he is not using the sword, his vigor is already peerless. If he unsheathes his sword, what kind of dazzling scene would that be?
Countless things about Elder Valerio are a mystery. However, no one dared to investigate these secrets.
When a force is powerful to an unfathomable degree, recklessly touching that force would only bring about destruction.
Elder Valerio is an existence that could intimidate and suppress the Three Cultivation Lands with just his name alone. He is also a fellow who makes countless people feel despair. His brilliance overshadowed that of all people in the Three Cultivation Lands. Any person would pale in front of him.
However, the more rumors spread, the more mysterious it would be.
If the word were to spread like this, it wouldn't be enough to be trusted.
While people were talking about Elder Valerio's story, they subconsciously treated it as a legend and a story.
Many people were skeptical about the credibility of legends circulating about Elder Valerio. For example, the people from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is one of the first-rate forces in the Middle Land. Although they were intimidated by Elder Valerio's power and influence, they obviously did not put Elder Valerio in their eyes.
In the eyes of the people from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Elder Valerio is someone with just fame, but his fame is false.
Many people had assumed that Elder Valerio's cultivation is at the peak of Extreme Void Stage, but in the eyes of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, Elder Valerio might be someone close to Void Martial Stage.
They thought like this because Elder Valerio chose to enter the Profound Star Sect instead of some other first-rate forces because he is weak and that he doesn't deserve his reputation.
That Martial Emperor of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain actually thought that after getting involved with the people of the Black Devil Cult and Saint Devil Sect, he would be able to show off in front of Elder Valerio.
That's why he made a move.
However, all it took Elder Valerio was a single finger to kill him.
A Martial Emperor Stage warrior had died without even being able to utter a sound, causing the remaining eight Martial Emperors to be frightened.
No one had expected such an outcome. This wasn't what they wanted either.
When the person from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain shouted with all his might and a bloody hole appeared in his head, he fell to the ground and died. The entire venue quieted down.
Alex watched everything from the side as the people of Black Devil Cult and Saint Devil Sect all took a step back. It was just a small step, but they had already escaped from this chaotic circle.
With just that small step, they made some distance between themselves and the people from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, leaving pitiful people from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to face Elder Valerio alone.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was now a bird that could take the lead when shot with a spear!
The remaining two Martial Emperors from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain glared at Elder Valerio with widened and fearful eyes as a terrifying aura burst out from them.
However, the two of them did not dare to attack despite their imposing manner.
Facing Elder Valerio's strange finger, no one was sure if they could block it. They knew if they dared to act rashly, then they would be dead!
At this moment, everyone had witnessed Elder Valerio's unparalleled strength. He was too domineering to be ignored after all.
At this moment, Alex's eyes suddenly showed a stinging pain. When the stabbing pain came, the world he was looking at began to fluctuate rapidly like the surface of a lake.
Alex frowned; he has no idea what is happening now.
Even though it was just for an instant, it was fleeting, as though it was an illusion.
"Do you want to deal with it?" At this time, Elder Valerio looked at Alex and smiled. Then he said: "This is an Illusion. Try breaking it!"
Alex was startled when he heard this. Subconsciously, he activated his cultivation technique and silently gathered Chaos Energy towards his eyes.
Under his gaze, the world in front of his eyes suddenly became a little illusory as it slowly fluctuated like the surface of a lake.
The next instant, Alex made use of his Myriad Illusion Talent, and then, like a broken mirror, the whole illusion disintegrated, and Alex finally returned to reality!
Only then he discovered that everyone on the altar had fallen into a daze. Everything that had happened before was an illusion created by an illusion. As for who created this illusion, maybe, only Elder Valerio knew.
Silently, it caused the thousands of people present, including the eight Martial Emperors, to fall into an illusion. This kind of illusion technique was simply unimaginable.
All of a sudden, Alex thought of something and looked at Elder Valerio.
Elder Valerio smiled when he noticed Alex's gaze. He said: "So you have Myriad Illusion Talent. Not bad!"
"But don't rely on talents too much. It is because when you'll surpass the Extreme Void Stage, all your talent will become useless. At that time, Unique talents will no longer matter, all that'll matter will be your cultivation talent. That's all!"
Alex took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He nodded his head in understanding.
"Anyway, to be able to discover and break my illusion in such a short period of time, you, are the first to do so in so many years. Otherwise, even with Myriad Illusion Talent, it should be impossible to break my illusion so quickly. Although this illusion is only at the very basic level, it shouldn't be something you could have come out of so soon. As expected, you are special!" Elder Valerio had a satisfied smile on his face as he said.
Alex was stunned. He didn't expect Elder Valerio to say this.
Elder Valerio was right. Alex not only relied on Myriad Illusion Talent, but he also relied on the Chaos Energy that he manipulated by circulating the First Layer of Primordial Chaos Nine Transformation.
"Alright, let's settle the matter here first." As he spoke, Elder Valerio waved his finger in front of Alex. The scene in front of Alex's eyes flickered slightly once again, and the next instant, Alex had already entered into an illusion again.
Before Alex once again fell into the illusion, he heard Elder Valerio's sound for the last time: "This time, make sure to not use the Myriad Illusion Talent. Use your own strength to break the illusion!"
In the illusion world, no one was able to sense anything. One of the experts from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain held onto three dead people and said hoarsely: "I have no enmity and no grievances with you. Why did you kill my family so cruelly? Why?"
The other person of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was currently standing on top of a very small oval-shaped land, floating above an infinitely long river of magma.
