Chapter 400: Breaking Through the Illusion Array, Chiyou Escapes!
The sound of thunder was as if it erupted right above everyone’s heads.
So close, yet it felt like it came from the edge of the world.
“How can there be thunder in this windless, rainless chaos that’s lasted for thousands of years?”
The Chiyou Demon Spirit was taken aback, looking up at the inky darkness.
Several women also sensed something unusual; the thunder was far too strange, as though it had come from the outside world.
Before they could ponder it any further, another loud boom of thunder resounded.
Then came the third, the fourth—a more thunderous clap than the last.
With each resonant boom, the dark space shook uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a blinding light sliced through the darkness like a razor-sharp sword, flashing before their eyes.
The Chiyou Demon Spirit was shocked, thinking that the Demon Sword had pursued them again.
But then, a fleeting thought crossed its mind, and it felt something was off.
The Chiyou Magic Sword, despite its demonic nature, radiated a sacred golden light, entirely different from this blue-white flash.
Just then, another deafening clap of thunder echoed.
“How is this possible!”
Finally, it realized what the previous light had been!
It was the exterior lightning, directly piercing through space to arrive here!
And its target was, in fact, the illusion it had created!
Li Mo, trapped within, not only discovered he was in an illusion but also found a way to break it!
This illusion was an ancient formation that Chiyou had used to trap the Yellow Emperor and his army for decades!
If it hadn’t been for the Yellow Emperor being the Chosen One, he might have succumbed to this illusion and perished within it.
After all, he was chosen by the Lady of the Nine Heavens!
But even so, he had been ensnared by this illusion for decades.
Yet now, Li Mo had not only identified the illusion’s existence but also discovered the means to dismantle it!
From the moment he entered until now, it had only been three days in total.
Still, in reality, only three hours had passed!
“What on earth is this kid’s background?”
As more and more lightning pierced through the space, the Chiyou Demon Spirit felt a creeping unease growing within.
The wandering souls in this space trembled at the sound of thunder.
When the first bolt of lightning entered, they became terrified and restless.
The sunlight-infused lightning had a natural suppressive and intimidating effect on them.
Fully aware that the formation was on the verge of being broken, the Chiyou Demon Spirit could only watch helplessly, not daring to act.
For these bolts of lightning would also inflict irreparable harm on it!
The once-dark space lit up like day with continuous flashes of lightning.
The Chiyou Demon Spirit’s face, shifting in color, became vividly clear to Fei Yan and the others.
“It’s the husband breaking through the formation.”
The women immediately understood.
Something must have happened that was unexpected for the Chiyou Demon Spirit, causing its face to turn ashen—this was incredible news for them!
Their attention quickly focused on the formation.
Boom!
A sound more intense than before echoed, causing everyone’s eardrums to ache painfully.
Amidst this thunder, a crisp, delicate sound sliced through the air as if a vase had shattered under a sharp weapon.
Kaboom!
A massive surge of energy suddenly exploded from the formation, sending everyone’s clothing and hair into disarray, swaying precariously.
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess simultaneously formed hand seals.
A transparent barrier appeared before them, absorbing the immense energy released as the formation began to shatter.
At that moment, two figures appeared before the three women’s eyes.
Ignoring the old man with white hair beside them, the other was none other than the familiar Li Mo!
“Ah~ Finally out!”
Li Mo exhaled a breath, revealing a look of relief.
Though the method worked, the sturdiness of the formation and the energy consumed surpassed his expectations.
He had spent nearly half an hour just to break that formation!
It wasn’t that the formation was exceptionally strong, but rather that the summoned bolts of lightning were from too far away.
They were situated within a space inside yet another space.
And the lightning had to traverse through two layers of space to reach him, naturally diminishing both power and quantity.
“Hubby!”
“Is that really the master?”
The three women felt a weight lifted from their hearts upon seeing Li Mo.
Before Li Mo could greet them, Wei Zhuang cast a vigilant glance at them.
It seemed he couldn’t tell whether they were in reality or still trapped within the illusion.
Li Mo intended to move forward, but after taking a step, he hesitated, wondering if breaking the formation with lightning was just another illusion fabricated by his mind.
But after a brief moment of doubt, he let it go.
He’d find out what was real soon enough!
“Hubby, you’ve finally come out.”
Li Mo rushed to the side of the three women, as Fei Yan’s concerned gaze couldn’t be hidden.
She searched his body, seemingly checking for any wounds sustained during his time in the formation.
The Moon Goddess, though often appearing ethereal and indifferent, couldn’t remain calm when it came to Li Mo.
The concern in her eyes was evident, barely concealed even by her delicate veil.
If she felt this way, Li Wu was no different.
If not for the current situation, she would have rushed forward for a hug!
Wei Zhuang gripped his sword tightly, on high alert.
Not from any discontent, but because he had seen this very scene multiple times in the illusion.
The three women’s reactions were almost identical to those in the illusion earlier.
In contrast, Li Mo appeared much calmer and more composed.
“I was trapped in an illusion array with Wei Zhuang. How about you? Did you encounter any danger?”
Fei Yan knew it wasn’t the time for reminiscing; a strong enemy was still lurking nearby.
“Chiyou Demon Spirit has occupied Donghuang Taiyi’s body and just engaged us in combat.”
“Where is it now?”
The Moon Goddess, relieved to find Li Mo safe, turned her attention to the Chiyou Demon Spirit.
But upon glancing around, she found the Chiyou Demon Spirit had vanished without a trace!
“Did it hide again?”
Li Wu’s face was filled with anger.
This Chiyou Demon Spirit was far too cautious; with such immense power, it kept dodging around.
If it slipped away again, finding it would be no easy task!
Li Mo suddenly changed his expression, alarmed.
“Not good, it’s escaped!”
