Chapter 223 Searching for the Source! An Unexpected Incident!
"Let's help out first," Ye Chuxue's clear voice rang out, as melodious as a nightingale's song. Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating their willingness to follow her instructions.
In an instant, raging flames suddenly erupted around Ye Chuxue, the flames coiling around her petite body like a fire dragon, the intense heat overwhelming anyone who looked directly at her. Then, without hesitation, she leaped down, like a burning phoenix soaring from the high city wall.
Seeing Ye Chuxue's decisive action, the others were equally shrewd. They quickly summoned their unique martial spirits and attached them to themselves, then followed in Ye Chuxue's footsteps, leaping off the city wall one after another. Their series of actions left the many onlookers speechless and utterly astonished.
"Are they crazy? They didn't even bring a decent weapon and just recklessly jumped into that dense horde of beasts! Aren't they afraid of dying?" A chorus of doubts arose from the crowd.
However, these people were clearly mistaken. Before their incredulous eyes, those who had jumped off the city walls miraculously produced all sorts of incredibly sharp weapons from nowhere, instantly engaging the surging horde of beasts in a breathtaking and fierce battle.
"My God, how did they do that? It's unbelievable!" someone exclaimed, eyes wide and face blank.
The crowd that had been whispering and discussing on the city wall now looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
At this moment, Ye Chuxue, who was in the center of the battlefield below, did not use her full strength. On the one hand, she was not yet aware of the hidden dangers here, and on the other hand, with her own powerful strength, she did not need to go all out. Simply by casually mobilizing a portion of the flame power belonging to the Blazing Phoenix Heavenly Dragon within her body, she could easily force the approaching beasts to retreat repeatedly.
Before long, the once ferocious beasts began to show signs of fatigue, seemingly struggling to withstand the fierce onslaught of the human warriors. Finally, with a low roar from the leading giants, the entire herd began to slowly retreat.
Seeing the beasts retreat swiftly like a tide, the group, who had been on edge and on high alert, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just as everyone was secretly rejoicing, Ye Chuxue in the crowd frowned slightly, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart. She keenly sensed that this matter was probably far more complicated than it appeared.
Although the beast tide has temporarily receded, the group remains trapped in this bizarre illusion and has not been able to escape.
This means that the real danger may not have been eliminated yet.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuxue shouted without hesitation, "Chase after them!"
Upon hearing her command, the others dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately turned and ran into the depths of the forest, closely chasing after the wild beasts that were fleeing in panic.
As the group ran, the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly.
At first, they thought it was just because their steps were too heavy while running, and didn't pay much attention to it.
But before long, the tremors became more and more intense, as if the entire earth was about to be torn apart.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a deafening roar, a monster as huge as a mountain burst out of the ground!
The demonic beast exuded an extremely dense aura of darkness, sending chills down one's spine. Its blood-red eyes, like burning flames, stared fiercely at Ye Chuxue and her group.
It opened its enormous maw, large enough to devour the heavens and earth, and suddenly spewed out a thick, pitch-black mist that swept towards the crowd like a raging torrent.
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Ye Chuxue remained calm and quickly activated the powerful energy within her body.
In an instant, raging flames erupted from her palm, quickly coalescing into a gigantic fire serpent that roared straight at the oncoming black mist. With a deafening roar, the two collided heavily, instantly unleashing a dazzling light and an extremely intense energy surge.
Feeling the powerful impact, Ye Chuxue's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed drastically. She was astonished to discover that what the other party was releasing was not ordinary magic or demonic power, but—divine power!
Ye Chuxue's body was engulfed in raging flames, which turned from red to gold, and her aura suddenly increased.
"boom--!"
The flames and dense fog created a massive explosion.
Realizing something was wrong, Song Wanning instantly appeared in front of Ye Chuxue: "What's wrong?"
"This magical beast is no ordinary wild animal. What it just released was not magical power, but divine power!"
"Hehehe~"
A strange laugh rang out, and a black hole appeared on the monster's shoulder, followed by a man.
"I didn't expect this chosen one to be so powerful, but well~"
The man glanced at the crowd and said with amusement.
"Who are you? And what does 'Chosen One' mean?" Ye Chuxue asked the man.
"Since you can't leave here anyway, I might as well tell you."
"The chosen ones are those who enter into God's trials. As long as they pass the trials, they will receive a reward. Those who perform exceptionally well will receive God's reward."
The man raised his hands, looking completely absorbed in the moment.
"However, there are those who can disrupt a god's trials, and that is only a god."
"So, you're here to sabotage the training, right?" Ye Chuxue countered.
"Bingou! You guessed it. I am a lich, a subordinate of the God of Darkness. The trial you are participating in is the trial of the angels. They are our mortal enemies, so naturally they won't let you pass the trial." The man looked at the crowd with bloodshot eyes and licked his lips as he spoke.
Ye Chuxue found it somewhat amusing and asked, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Angel Clan?"
"Revenge? Their angel lord is nowhere to be found, how can they retaliate against us?" the man sneered.
"Sister, this farce is over, let's ruin it."
With a crisp snap of the fingers, the entire environment shattered like broken glass, gradually transforming into a meadow.
"You, you can destroy the Dark Lord's illusion! You! You are the Illusion God!" The man looked at Song Wanning in horror.
"Bingou! You got it right, but there's no reward!" Song Wanning said with a smile.
"Impossible! The Illusion God should be in the God Realm, how could he possibly appear here!"
"Why not? He'll come back once he breaks through to the God Realm."
"Does the Phantom God intend to join our struggle against the Angel race?" The man's appearance changed, transforming into that of a lich.
With a sweep of his hand, a rift appeared, and countless figures poured out.
"Succubi, hellhounds, fallen angels, dragons... quite a few people have come..."
Song Wanning looked around: "But whether I should make a move or not depends on the person next to me."
"This one?" The lich looked at Ye Chuxue beside him: "Could it be that you are also...?"
Ye Chuxue spread her arms, and a screen of light appeared, revealing countless two-winged angels, four-winged angels, six-winged angels, and even four twelve-winged angels silently floating behind her. They were fully armed and seemed to have been preparing for a long time.
