"The King!"
……
The originally noisy and loud shouts gradually became more unified. As the battle progressed, the audience's voices, as if rehearsed, rhythmically chanted the title of "King of the Heavens".
At this moment, even the War King, who was completely absorbed in the battle, realized that something was wrong.
The audience's inexplicable excitement and rhythm seemed to be controlled simultaneously.
Before the War King could make a move, a scene that shocked him unfolded.
The host he had initially killed had somehow reappeared in the center of the stage, excitedly addressing the audience:
"The Heavenly King has emerged victorious in this battle. Let us cheer for the Heavenly King!"
"The King!"
"Heavenly King..."
Shouts of victory echoed throughout the arena, as if a victor had already been decided.
"wrong…"
"wrong…"
The War King's blood rushed to his mind, and he wanted to examine his mental state. He was clearly still in the midst of battle, so how could the Heavenly King have suddenly won?
Whether he had fallen into the enemy's illusion and was trapped in the illusion, or whether the audience members were trapped in the environment, the War King couldn't tell for a moment.
When everything around you seems different from what you know, it makes it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"Is it your fault?"
The War King's eyes widened, his blood and qi surged through his brain, and his fighting spirit continued to rise, but he still couldn't quite make sense of it.
But that doesn't make sense. Isn't the other person a warrior? How could they control so many people at once? Or did they use some kind of secret technique to influence their mind?
The War King inexplicably felt out of place with the world, as if he had been abandoned by it.
Tens of thousands of spectators and hosts went about their own business, awarding prizes to the victors, completely ignoring the War King who was currently fighting.
Just then, the War King suddenly realized how the other party had entered the dueling arena and how they had arranged this battle.
"You also have a mental-based profession?" The War King's expression changed drastically. Then the purpose of this battle was obvious. It wasn't specifically for fighting him, but for the tens of thousands of spectators.
He is indeed a Black Iron-level professional, but he is not a physical type, but a mental type, and the battlefield battle is for his own advancement ceremony.
"I guessed it, but it's too late!"
Lu Yunhe appeared beside the host, and then, led by the host, received the triumphant cheers of tens of thousands of spectators.
"The King!"
"The King!"
……
The unified cheers seemed to contain some strange fluctuations, surrounding Lu Yunhe, who was currently in the very center, forming a primordial path that could not be seen with the naked eye.
Each audience member is a node, like a giant spider web.
As Lu Yunhe raised his hand, the spider web seemed to fall directly into the Sea of Origin, drawing out the power of origin and cleansing his body.
In the darkness, the primordial Dao was constantly echoing, responding to his call.
Unlike other professionals who can only advance step by step, for Lu Yunhe, each advancement means that his connection with the Origin Dao is becoming closer.
"Go to hell!"
The War King's eyes widened, but his target was not Lu Yunhe, but the surrounding spectators. He wanted to kill them in order to disrupt the advancement ceremony.
"late!"
As the primordial power swept through, Lu Yunhe's life essence instantly underwent a leap, especially in terms of his soul, which experienced a dramatic increase.
"Bronze-level - Illusionist!"
Chapter 802 Subduing the War King
"Illusionist!"
Lu Yunhe felt the transformation starting from the level of life itself. Each advancement was a comprehensive improvement, and the origin of life was also liberated.
The ritual between hypnotist and illusionist involves hypnotizing at least tens of thousands of people simultaneously, using the power of the masses to help the practitioner awaken to their primal path.
Although it is very complicated and difficult, practitioners of the mind and soul path are basically all the same. Each advancement is very difficult, and the number of them is relatively small.
Actually, there are simpler methods. As long as you have money, it's easy to find people. Just find a group of slaves. Many rituals can also be done by taking shortcuts.
Because its essence is not a ritual, but rather the revelation of the fundamental Dao that exists in the darkness.
If Lu Yunhe were willing to take the time to reflect, he wouldn't even need this ceremony.
The essence of these rituals is to strengthen one's connection with the original Tao through various means, so as to bring oneself closer to the Great Tao.
However, since he had the opportunity, Lu Yunhe took the opportunity to complete the ceremony. With his background, although he had only just become a professional, advancing again would not have any impact.
From hypnosis to illusion, the influence on the mind has gone a step further.
Snapped!
Watching the War King launch an attack on the audience, Lu Yunhe snapped his fingers.
With a "snap," the War King felt the world fall silent, and the attack he had just gathered in his hand vanished completely.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the War King's forehead, instantly evaporating under the protective armor of qi and blood covering his body.
Even before his promotion, the other party was able to influence him, including these tens of thousands of spectators; now, with their power greatly increased…
"Gulu!"
The War King didn't know whether his attack had actually been launched or whether he had canceled it due to the illusion.
"Disperse!"
Lu Yunhe slowly approached the War King, and the War King's blood armor dissipated in response.
As Lu Yunhe approached, the War King couldn't help but take a step back, a sense of fear rising in his heart.
"I do not believe!"
Having taken a step back, the War King roared again, trying to stir up his emotions and regain his senses.
Unfortunately, he was only angry for a moment, and nothing changed after that.
What terrified the War King even more was that as Lu Yunhe approached, his own strength continued to decline, from Silver to Bronze, and finally to Iron, until he was reduced to an ordinary person.
"my power!"
The War King raised his hands, but the power he once took pride in was now completely gone.
The complete deterioration of his power even clouded the War King's mind, making everything seem unreal.
"Give me back my power..." the War King cried out in terror.
Fantasy and reality intertwined, and even the War King couldn't distinguish between them at this moment. His proud power dissipated, and his fierce fighting spirit was completely gone.
Therefore, the only thing he could grasp at like a lifeline was the man in front of him.
Then Zhan Wang rushed towards Lu Yunhe, trying to grasp at this last straw.
However, after becoming an ordinary person, he was caught off guard and tripped over a pebble, falling flat on his face.
"Am I just an ordinary person, and are those experiences just my delusions?"
Gradually, countless thoughts flooded the War King's mind. Beyond his so-called "War King" experience, he seemed to have another, more real experience.
He was a warrior under the Heavenly King, sent to the lower city for training. With the help of the resources bestowed by the Heavenly King, he gradually transformed after countless battles, rising from an ordinary person to a Silver-level warrior.
As real experiences gradually came to mind, the War King slowly found his own power.
"It turns out that what happened before was just a dream, but now the Heavenly King has awakened me." The War King realized this, and the power of the Silver-level warrior returned to his body.
"Your subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty!" The War King knelt on one knee before Lu Yunhe, his face full of respect.
“It’s not soul enslavement, but it’s close to it.” Lu Yunhe looked at the respectful War King before him.
When it comes to the power of the mind and soul, it's practically a bug for beings weaker than oneself.
Lu Yunhe didn't actually do anything; he just added a more realistic memory for the other party. It's just that the War King himself couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.
"A higher level of soul realm is like a dimensional attack to others!"
While other powers could easily defeat the War King, it would be virtually impossible for them to transform into such a form.
The essence of soul enslavement is actually similar to hypnosis and illusion, only it goes a little deeper into the source.
Lu Yunhe had also tried, but without the help of the Demon God, the ability to hypnotize and illusion alone could not make someone commit suicide directly, obviously it was impossible to delve into the origin of the soul.
"However, hypnosis combined with illusions is already capable of delivering a devastating blow on a mental level."
Looking at the respectful War King, Lu Yunhe had completely accepted the illusory memories as his own reality.
According to feedback from the Origin Path, Dream Path practitioners initially focus on the human spirit and soul, but later need to focus on the real world.
Perhaps for this reason, it does not completely encompass the path of the soul like the Void Realm Path.
After all, dreams and illusions both require people and the world to be grounded in reality; in essence, they are extensions of reality.
"Fake, will be fake after all!"
Lu Yunhe frowned. Did he really want him to practice turning a fake into a real thing?
On the other side, the War King saw his master frown and immediately began to tremble, thinking that he had done something wrong.
"Get up!"
Lu Yunhe temporarily calmed his mind. Since his foundation was not based on a single primordial path, he was determined to comprehend all the primordial paths and eventually even become the path itself.
For now, let's try to take control of the entire lower city.
Having subdued the War King, we can say that we've accomplished a small part of this goal.
That's one of the advantages of the world of cultivators; solving the problem of upper-level control solves half the problem.
