Chapter 93

This is a crucial moment for their future apprenticeship, and now, the real test is about to begin.

Ye Xiwén didn’t think much about it; Huá Mènghán was still too far away for him at this point!

A purple-robed elder flew down from a distance, an elder of the Moon Peak. Without any unnecessary words, he simply glanced at the crowd and then said, "The entrance examination begins now!"

The purple-robed elder casually waved his hand, and the space immediately began to ripple. A divine light shot out, and the entire space seemed to tear apart. Two massive doors slowly formed, emitting a loud rumbling sound as they slowly opened.

Instantly, a mixture of spiritual energy and a repulsive gas spewed out.

Those at the Later Heaven realm were still fine, as they had yet to connect the bridge between heaven and earth, so they couldn’t sense the changes in the spiritual energy of the world.

However, the disciples at the Innate realm could all feel the presence of this gas, frowning. But no one was surprised. Before they came, the elders of their respective families had already told them that the Illusion Demon Realm was home to a large number of Illusion Demons, and of course, it was mixed with a lot of demonic energy.

In fact, so far, only the demon race had been found to be able to adapt to demonic energy. Even the most ferocious beasts couldn’t withstand the direct infusion of demonic energy.

However, Ye Xiwén’s eyes lit up, as he discovered that the mysterious space in his mind could absorb demonic energy. He had long known that he could use the mysterious space in his mind to absorb spiritual energy, but he had never done so before. The efficiency of absorbing free-floating spiritual energy in the air was far too slow compared to absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones. Even in a cultivation holy land like the One Origin Sect, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy was not as high as absorbing spirit stones, which had absorbed spiritual energy over countless years, naturally making the process extremely fast.

Ye Xiwén thought, if it can absorb demonic energy, can it also directly absorb beast energy or other forms of energy!

However, before Ye Xiwén could think further, everyone entered the Illusion Demon Realm according to their respective sects.

When the Qingfeng Mountain branch entered the Illusion Demon Realm, the purple-robed elder waved his hand, and a massive true essence bubble enveloped the disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain branch, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

After an unknown amount of time, the group from the Qingfeng Mountain branch finally appeared in the Illusion Demon Realm. Everywhere they looked, the scene was desolate, with the ground dry and cracked, and demonic fires occasionally bursting forth. The sky was filled with a mix of spiritual energy and demonic energy, making the environment extremely harsh. The demon race was a destructive rather than a constructive race, and these Illusion Demons, who had left the demon world and lost their civilization, were even more destructive.

It was like making a modern person leave the city and live in the jungle for decades.

"This is the Illusion Demon Realm? It’s even more desolate than I imagined!" one disciple remarked.

"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded. "But as expected, it’s a random teleportation. We don’t know where in the Illusion Demon Realm we are, and there’s no map!"

"This isn’t urgent. Once we find an Illusion Demon town, we can get a map!" Ye Feng said. In the Illusion Demon Realm, the Illusion Demons were considered the native inhabitants, so it wasn’t strange that they had maps. Moreover, although the Illusion Demons were demons, they were intelligent beings, so there were various towns of different sizes in the Illusion Demon Realm. However, from the information they had, the Illusion Demon towns were only in their early stages and couldn’t be considered true towns.

Suddenly, the air distorted, and the surrounding scene changed instantly. Countless skyscrapers sprang up, and a bustling city formed in front of Ye Xiwén in an instant.

Ye Xiwén suddenly felt a lump in his throat, how long had it been since he had seen such a scene? The urban scenes that he used to see every day, and even despised, now seemed so familiar. These scenes, buried deep in his heart, suddenly resurfaced.

Ye Xiwén suddenly sneered and threw a punch. A terrifying punch force, like a tornado, swept away the entire scene.

The scene around Ye Xiwén changed again, returning to the Illusion Demon Realm. As Ye Xiwén had expected, it was an illusion, not real. Ye Xiwén had been prepared for this. Before they came, Lin Zhantian had reminded everyone to be cautious, as the Illusion Demons in the Illusion Demon Realm were very skilled at using illusions to confuse people. Once someone fell for the illusion, they would be quickly defeated or even eaten.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Xiwén opened his eyes, he saw hundreds of Illusion Demons charging at him. These Illusion Demons were small, with two legs and four arms, and their heads were almost as large as their entire bodies. Their two large, blood-red eyes glowed with a fierce light, and they opened their mouths wide, charging at the disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain branch. One of them was already charging at Ye Xiwén.

Ye Xiwén sneered and slapped out a palm, a thunderous roar, and the palm directly struck into the Illusion Demon’s mouth.

"Boom!" The Illusion Demon, at the Ninth Level of the Later Heaven realm, was shattered by Ye Xiwén’s palm.

Almost instantly, the Illusion Demon’s body transformed into demonic energy. These Illusion Demons were mostly composed of pure energy, with their large heads allowing them to easily cast such illusions.

The demonic energy was instantly absorbed by the mysterious space in Ye Xiwén’s mind, deepening his understanding of various martial arts.

In fact, Ye Xiwén had never stopped practicing martial arts in the mysterious space, but the efficiency was different from when he was fully focused.

Moreover, the demonic energy absorbed from killing these Illusion Demons actually increased his comprehension speed in the mysterious space, making it even stronger than ordinary spiritual energy.

However, Ye Xiwén didn’t have time to think further. He instantly drew his long sword from behind, and a brilliant light flashed as a dozen-meter-long blade of energy slashed out, instantly cutting the dozen Illusion Demons in front of him in half, not even giving them time to scream.

At this moment, Ye Feng, Zhang Yang, and Ye Ruxue, being at the Innate realm and the strongest, quickly saw through the illusion and acted, intercepting the charging Illusion Demons. After a while, the disciples of the Qingfeng Mountain branch finally reacted.
