Chapter 72 The Mirage Illusion Confusion Array(3)
The moment Shangguan Yi arrived, he spotted the most dangerous cultivator among the group—it was none other than Fu Jun, who had the highest cultivation level there.
Without wasting time, Shangguan Yi activated his cultivation technique, Everlasting Firmament Flame. A white flame wisp condensed and he sent it toward Fu Jun.
The white flame was unlike a normal flame; it didn't release heat or a burning sensation. Instead, it was a special flame that had no sensation to those who touched it. The scary part was that it could absorb the core essence and life force of those it touched.
As the white flame wisp touched Fu Jun, it started absorbing his core essence. It didn't stop there, moving to the core of Fu Jun's Sixth Sense Realm using his core essence as a guide.
Fu Jun, who was conscious in the illusion, sensed the abnormality in his body, waking up from the state immediately.
"Hm?" Seeing that Fu Jun seemed to be awakening, Shangguan Yi didn't hesitate to use his One Blink technique to burn him right there.
Several flame wisps flew into Fu Jun. The moment they touched him, severe pain hit him hard, and the pain sensation completely woke Fu Jun.
"Demonic Cultivator!" The first thing he saw was the man in a white robe standing in front of him. He didn't need to guess; he knew immediately it was the demonic cultivator.
"Arghhh!" However, the severe pain hit him again, making him realize his current state.
As an ancestor level, Fu Jun had long been informed about Shangguan Yi's techniques, and he had prepared a method to deal with such a situation. He activated the array he had long prepared on his body. Ice smoke emerged from his body and began spreading to the surrounding flames.
But Shangguan Yi was not the same as before. He was a level 4 Core Formation cultivator now, and his flames were condensed with the power of a level 4 core.
While the ice smoke covered the flames, they didn't fade as Fu Jun expected. Instead, the flames tried to engulf the ice smoke.
"Hm? The flames aren't extinguishing?!"
At the same time, the white flame wisp finished absorbing one core in Fu Jun's Sixth Sense Realm. With one core missing, Fu Jun's cultivation temporarily dropped to level 3 immediately.
"Argh! My cultivation! No! I need to deal with the white flame in my Sixth Sense Realm!" Fu Jun quickly decided.
But Shangguan Yi didn't give him the chance. Several flame wisps flew into Fu Jun within seconds. The ice smoke, created from a level 3 array, couldn't keep up with the flames; they burned faster.
The more Fu Jun condensed his core essence, the faster the white flame wisp absorbed it.
Fu Jun struggled hard, but it was useless.
"To think that I would perish in such a way." He looked at Shangguan Yi with hatred before turning to nothing.
The dignity of a level 4 Core Formation cultivator, the number one Array Master of Red Maple City, died in such a way.
Shangguan Yi collected the white flame wisp and turned his gaze to the others. The commotion from their fight hadn't awakened them yet, proving the terrifying power of this array.
Without Fu Jun, and now with the others trapped in the illusion, it was easy for Shangguan Yi to deal with them.
One by one, the white flame absorbed their core essence and life force. It took Shangguan Yi only a minute to dispatch the remaining cultivators, leaving behind nothing but emptiness where powerful figures once stood.
Satisfied with the results, Shangguan Yi turned his attention to where Fu Lan's group was located.
Moving swiftly and silently, he approached them, ready to repeat his deadly process.
As he neared Fu Lan's group, the thick fog of the Mirage Illusion Confusion Array still hung heavily in the air, ensuring they remained unaware of their impending doom. Shangguan Yi could see the faint outlines of the cultivators, each one lost in their own illusory world.
With cold determination, Shangguan Yi began his assault. He targeted the weaker cultivators first, allowing the white flame wisps to swiftly drain their core essence and life force. Each flame wisp found its mark, and one by one, the cultivators fell.
Finally, only Fu Lan remained. Shangguan Yi approached him cautiously, knowing that Fu Lan's higher cultivation level might make him more resistant. Activating his cultivation technique once more, he sent a white flame wisp toward Fu Lan.
The wisp touched Fu Lan, beginning the absorption process. Despite his formidable cultivation, Fu Lan remained unaware, still lost in the illusion.
But just as the absorption reached a critical point, Fu Lan suddenly opened his eyes. The sudden change in his body jolted him out of the illusion.
"What?!" Fu Lan gasped, his eyes widening in shock as he saw Shangguan Yi standing before him not far away. He tried to gather his core essence to mount a defense, but the flames had already weakened him significantly.
"Demonic cultivator!" Fu Lan spat, recognizing his attacker. He struggled to fight back, but the white flames continued to drain his core essence.
Shangguan Yi didn't give him a chance to recover.
With a swift movement, he sent waves of flame wisps toward Fu Lan. The flames engulfed him, their burning relentless.
Fu Lan's resistance grew weaker by the second, and despite his efforts, he couldn't fend off the inevitable. The flames consumed his core essence and life force, leaving him powerless.
In his final moments, Fu Lan looked at Shangguan Yi with a mixture of hatred and despair. "You won't... get away with this..." he muttered before the flames reduced him to nothingness, leaving only white flame wisp.
Shangguan Yi watched as Fu Lan disintegrated, the last of the coalition's leaders now defeated.
The thick fog of the Mirage Illusion Confusion Array began to dissipate, its purpose fulfilled. The Xia Family and its allies were safe for now, their enemies vanquished.
…
Meanwhile, in the City Lord Manor, a sudden commotion erupted as the Green Pearls of Fu Jun and Fu Lan shattered simultaneously. The Green Pearls, mystical artifacts linked to the life force of their owners, were now nothing more than a pile of glittering shards.
Fu Bo, the City Lord, stood frozen in shock. The shattering of the Green Pearls was an ominous sign, indicating that both Fu Jun and Fu Lan had perished.
"No… this can't be," Fu Bo whispered, his face pale. The loss of two of the two powerful cultivators was a devastating blow. He struggled to comprehend the magnitude of the disaster that had just befallen them.
