A mist suddenly rose rapidly from Illusion Island. This mist was exactly the same as the mist in the mist zone. Wherever the mist covered the area, the attacks of the Creators had no effect, as if they were swallowed up by the mist.

The mist in the mist zone is something that completely surpasses the level of the Chaos Emperor. Even the Great Dao Emperor is powerless against the mist, so it makes perfect sense that the attacks of the Creation Realm cannot harm the mist.

The key issue is not whether a powerful cultivator can overcome the fog, but that this Illusion Island can actually influence the fog.

"Could it really be related to the key?"

It's hard not to think that way, since the fog was created to make finding the "key" more difficult, and now this Illusion Island can actually affect the fog.

When the powerful cultivators who had created the Dao saw that Illusion Island was using this method of defense and that their attacks had failed, they were not disappointed at all. Instead, they became extremely excited, looking as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Taiyi even wondered if they had been controlled by Illusion Island like the previous Chaos Emperors.

The mist quickly and completely covered Illusion Island, and it was no longer visible to Taiyi. The group of powerful cultivators who had created the Dao were also skilled and daring, and they all rushed into the mist, disappearing from Taiyi's sight in the blink of an eye. Clearly, they had gone to Illusion Island.

"What do we do now?"

Standing alone in the void, Taiyi was a little dumbfounded because he realized that the possibility of Illusion Island being related to the "key" had increased. He actually wanted to go up there to study it, didn't he see that Chuangdao went up without hesitation?

However, despite being a Daoist, Taiyi's strength was far inferior to that of a Daoist. Once on the island, he couldn't do anything to it and instead had to be careful of being controlled by it, which was quite awkward.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, without even a sound, which made it impossible for Taiyi to determine what had happened on the illusion island shrouded in mist, and he was filled with curiosity.

Taiyi didn't believe that nothing had really happened inside. The fog covering the island might have another secret, and it could also be used to isolate energy fluctuations.

Fog should not be able to stop the fighting, but the fog in front of us is obviously different, so it cannot be judged by common sense.

"Forget it, I'll just go in and take a look. Anyway, with so many powerful cultivators protecting me, it shouldn't be targeting me too much. And if all else fails, there's always teleportation, right?"

In a moment of impulsiveness, Taiyi rushed into the fog.

Unlike other fogs in the fog zone, even after entering the fog outside the island, the visibility is still very low. Taiyi can basically only see an area within one meter of him, which is practically impossible.

"We've arrived on the island already?"

Only when his feet were firmly planted on the ground did Taiyi realize that he had completely landed on the island.

Chapter 1386, Accidental Injury

It's good to be outside, just to come in and see what's going on, and whether the so-called key is really here. However, Taiyi is now in a tricky situation. He can't see anything here, and it's no different from being outside.

Not only could he not see anything, but there was also no sound. Danger could appear at any moment, and Taiyi couldn't help but feel nervous.

"not good!"

Suddenly remembering something, Taiyi's expression changed. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, lifting his body several meters off the ground before falling back down.

Being able to jump several meters high is an extraordinary feat for ordinary people. However, the person jumping now is different. He is the Chaos Emperor. Most importantly, he was not actually testing his height, but testing whether he could fly.

The answer is obvious: Taiyi has lost the ability to fly once again. Now he can't even go back the way he came. Only teleportation can keep Taiyi barely calm.

After a moment of silence, Taiyi finally took action. He couldn't even distinguish directions or locations, so he could only randomly choose a direction to move forward. Due to the extremely low visibility, Taiyi moved in a zigzag pattern in order to miss as little as possible.

After walking for a quarter of an hour in monotonous silence, Taiyi felt a little relieved. Although he had not encountered any powerful figures who had created the Dao, nor even the slightest clue about the key, he had not encountered any danger either. This meant that his current situation was relatively safe. After all, if the Key Illusion Island wanted to deal with him, it wouldn't have needed to prepare for so long.

More than an hour later, Taiyi suddenly stopped. An arm lay quietly at his feet.

The arm is very large; at least its full size cannot be seen clearly due to the fog. Based on the area that has been seen so far, the arm should be at least 3 meters long.

What you see is just an arm, but that doesn't mean it's just an arm. Perhaps the place shrouded in mist is a complete body.

Taiyi observed for a moment, then carefully took a few steps and found that there was no body left, meaning that only the arm remained.

"This should be the arm of the Northern Cursed Turtle. Its owner's cultivation level should only be the first realm. Anyone who has reached the Enlightenment Realm must have their own unique Dao charm, because Enlightenment has already determined their own unique Dao."

Based on this, we can deduce that the Northern Cursed Turtle was probably a Chaos Emperor who was tricked onto this island, but why it only had one severed arm remains a mystery.

Without much research on the severed arm, Taiyi quickly resumed his actions, and afterwards, he encountered unusual "things" more and more frequently.

"Phew, this is already the 102nd corpse. I never imagined that so many Chaos Emperors would die in just a few short years. Normally, it would take hundreds of millions of years for a single Chaos Emperor to die. What a chaotic world!"

Having seen so many, he naturally became immune to them. Taiyi didn't even linger in front of the corpses anymore, glancing at them briefly before continuing onward.

The increasing frequency of encountering corpses made Taiyi realize that he had chosen the right location. He became more and more cautious, because the further he went, the stronger the fallen Chaos Emperor seemed to become. According to this calculation, sooner or later he would see the existence of the Creation Dao, but he didn't know whether it was a corpse or a living being.

Several more hours passed. Taiyi was feeling somewhat depressed from seeing so many corpses when suddenly his eyes lit up and his vision widened in an instant, as if he had gone from being a thousand-degree nearsighted to having 5.0 vision.

"The fog is gone? Uh, no, it's still there."

Indeed, there are still some, but these mists are unique to the mist zone. They simply cannot be scanned, but some sounds can still be heard. The mist that Taiyi experienced before was an enhanced version created by Illusion Island.

Without the enhanced fog, Taiyi easily determined his location and discovered that he had entered the core area of ​​Illusion Island.

The ground trembled slightly, accompanied by a destructive aura that made Taiyi shudder; clearly, the area ahead was not safe.

In a battle at the Creation Dao level, Taiyi knew he had no room to intervene. Even resisting the aftershocks was not easy. Therefore, he was very careful and moved forward at an even slower pace than before.

"Huh? This is a little different from what I expected!"

It was indeed very different. Taiyi had previously thought that there would be a fierce battle between Illusion Island and the Great Power of Creation, and that the battle would be brutal. In reality, it was indeed fierce, but not brutal at all.

The group of powerful cultivators were completely working together to attack a special protective shield, and Illusion Island didn't even put up a counterattack!

Taiyi's appearance was immediately noticed by a group of powerful Dao creators. One powerful figure whose appearance was very different from Taiyi's aesthetic standards glanced at Taiyi, and a divine light shot out from his eyes, heading straight for Taiyi.

"Oops!"

Taiyi was struck by divine light the moment he had such a thought, and then felt a pain that tore his soul apart. In the excruciating pain, he clutched his head and fell backward to the ground.

Although Taiyi was very careful, he was still careless in the end, especially because he was negligent when he found that things were not as he thought. In addition, the unexpected attack by the Dao Creation expert was not what he expected, so he was hit directly before he could even teleport.

"Melt Bone, what do you mean?"

"Guangming, what business is it of yours if I kill a little kid?"

"How can it not concern me? He is a member of my Main God Space. Are you provoking me? If so, then let's have a fight."

"I had no idea he was from your Main God Space. Even if he was, so what? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Alright, that's enough about this. I don't want to see you fighting amongst yourselves until we get the key. Once we're out of here, you can fight however you want."

"What Elder Jian means is also what we mean."

Other powerful figures all expressed their opinions, and in the end, the Emperor of Light could only give the Bone-Melting Emperor a fierce look before giving up.

The Emperor of Light stopped attacking the protective barrier and came to Taiyi to treat him.

A moment later, Taiyi finally escaped the pain.

"Thank you again for saving me, Senior Emperor Guangming."

Taiyi sincerely thanked Guangming Huang, and at the same time, he made a deep impression on Rong Gu. Rong Gu attacked him for no reason. If he hadn't been lucky, he would probably be dead this time. This was a blood feud, and he would definitely take revenge if he had the chance.

Chapter 1387, Trap

“You shouldn’t have come. It’s too dangerous for you here. I might not be able to take care of you later. You have to be careful.”

Whether it was feigned or genuine, Emperor Guangming outwardly showed great concern for Taiyi.

"I see."

The physical pain hadn't completely subsided, and the danger had just been experienced; how could they not understand?

To be honest, Taiyi himself knew that he was not competitive enough with this group of powerful Dao Creators. He would not have joined the competition if it was not necessary. The reason he followed them into Illusion Island was out of wishful thinking. He thought that if the powerful Dao Creators clashed with Illusion Island, he could gain an advantage. But now there was no advantage to be gained at all.

He was almost killed by a single glance. The gap between creating a path and seeking a path is far greater than he imagined. In addition, he can't use the power of the system now. Competing with a group of people who create paths is just courting death.

If it weren't for the fact that this Illusion Island is inaccessible by air, Taiyi would have already planned to return the way he came.

Of course, now that we're here and already injured, leaving at this point would be too easy and cowardly. We need to see what happens after the shield is destroyed.

Having learned from his previous experience, Taiyi was prepared to teleport away at any time. If any powerful figure showed any sign of attacking him, he would immediately teleport away.

The Emperor of Light comforted Taiyi for a few words and then joined the group bombarding the protective shield. After that, Taiyi watched them silently from the side, completely like a spectator.

The powerful figures who created the Dao did not take Taiyi's power seriously, and completely ignored him out of respect for the Emperor of Light.

"Illusion Island has absolutely no way to deal with these guys?"

Looking at Illusion Island, which was only passively defending, Taiyi couldn't help but wonder: Illusion Island, which could create that enhanced version of the mist, should have the power to contend with the Creation Dao, or at the very least, it shouldn't be able to defend itself completely.

What Taiyi and the other powerful Dao Creators didn't know was that while they were causing trouble on Illusion Island, the island was constantly moving through the void, attracting wave after wave of Chaos Emperors to the island, making it grow larger and larger.

During the time Yi Shuihan was away from Illusion Island, the island controlled more than one being like the Purple Blood Emperor, so prey was continuously transported to the island. Taiyi and his group, being in the core of the island and shrouded in an enhanced fog, were completely unaware of what was happening outside.

"Did the color change from blue to red indicate insufficient energy, or is it some kind of dangerous signal?"

At a certain moment, the blue protective shield changed color, and the group of powerful cultivators who had created the Dao became excited. However, while they were easily excited, they also felt a sense of unease.

After the shield turned red, the powerful beings increased the frequency and intensity of their attacks. In less than half an hour, the first crack appeared on the shield, and within a few breaths, cracks covered the entire shield.

A violent aura emanated from the protective shield, and Taiyi felt a sudden chill run down his spine. Without having time to consider the source of the danger, he teleported directly.

In the last instant of the teleportation, I saw a burst of white light.

Far away on Illusion Island, a vortex formed in front of Yi Shuihan, and a figure staggered out of it, falling forward.

Yi Shuihan's expression changed, and he swiftly caught the person.

Without a doubt, it was Taiyi who emerged from the vortex. Taiyi was unable to even maintain his own balance, which shows how serious his injury was.

After carefully observing the situation in Taiyi, Yi Shuihan gasped.

It was horrible, truly horrible. Half of both arms were missing, the lower half was in better condition, but one leg was also partially crippled, half of the hair was gone, and the face was charred black, completely disfigured.

If that were all, it wouldn't be much of a problem for Taiyi, since at the level of a Chaos Emperor, reshaping one's physical body would be extremely simple.

What Yi Shuihan found most troublesome was that Taiyi's body was filled with foreign energy. This energy was rampaging through Taiyi's body, making it impossible for him to repair himself, and the situation was continuing to deteriorate.

"What on earth is going on?"

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Taiyi's last moments were not shared, leaving Yi Shuihan somewhat bewildered.

Emergency treatment was given to Taiyi, and his condition temporarily stabilized. However, this was only a temporary solution, as the alien energy in his body was too strong, and Yi Shuihan did not have a good solution.

"My Lord, this is what happened..."

After stabilizing his injuries, Taiyi shared his experiences with Yishuihan.

"It looks like a massive explosion caused by the rupture of the best protective shield. The power is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? And why are there multiple different types of energy?"

Yi Shuihan quickly came up with an answer that was very close to the truth: these alien energies all came from the powerful cultivators who attacked the protective shield.

The shield's function wasn't protection, but absorption. Illusion Island wasn't simply defending; it had long ago laid a trap, allowing powerful beings to attack without retaliating, all to recharge the shield. The change from blue to red didn't mean the shield was failing; on the contrary, it was a sign that the shield was about to overflow with energy.

Even though Taiyi escaped so quickly, he was still hit and suffered such a severe injury. Those powerful beings who were right in front of the protective barrier must have suffered an even more violent impact. They certainly wouldn't be in good condition. Whether they would die or not is unknown, but they were bound to be injured. It's just unknown how severe their injuries were.

"If those powerful beings are really dealt with or even controlled by Illusion Island, then things will be really serious. At that time, Illusion Island will obtain the strongest power below the Great Dao Emperor, and we Chaos Emperors will be in danger. Well, although for me, Illusion Island has been dangerous from the very beginning."

Leaving aside the matter of Illusion Island for the time being, Yi Shuihan is currently concerned about Taiyi's injuries; the energy in his body that belongs to the Creation Dao level is really troublesome.

"There are two choices: one is to go to the master, and the other is to seek help from the Main God Space. The former would expose the location of the clone, and the latter is uncertain whether the Main God Space will intervene. Only the Great Dao Emperor can guarantee the healing of Taiyi in his current state."

Actually, there is a third option. Taiyi was originally an avatar, so we can just let him return. However, Yi Shuihan does not want Taiyi to disappear. Unlike other avatars, Taiyi was created using a special method when it was first separated. Although Taiyi is still Yi Shuihan's avatar, it has its own separate personality. In fact, it can be seen as two individuals, which is fundamentally different from the avatars that Yi Shuihan temporarily created.

Chapter 1388, Reencounter with Third Senior Brother

"Looks like there's no need to choose anymore."

A smile appeared on Yi Shuihan's face as he looked up towards the southeast. A familiar figure appeared before him—it was Dongming, the one who had come to pick up his fellow disciples earlier. His third senior brother.

"Third Senior Brother, how have you been?"

He greeted Dongming with a smile, and Dongming smiled back when he saw Yi Shuihan. He walked up to Yi Shuihan and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Is this the real person this time?"

Yi Shuihan was slightly taken aback by the question, but then he smiled as he recalled that he had used a clone to meet the other party back then.

"The real deal, without a doubt."

Yi Shuihan's answer made Dongming burst into laughter.

Suddenly Dongming's expression changed, and he cried out in alarm.

"You've already broken through to the Enlightenment stage?"

As a powerful figure who had created the Dao, few things could shock him. However, he was now so surprised that he lost his composure. Yi Shuihan was simply too exaggerated. He had already been shocked once when he heard that Yi Shuihan had broken through two levels of his understanding of the Dao after ten thousand years. He never expected that he would find out this time that Yi Shuihan had broken through to the Enlightenment Realm. You have to know that only a little over a million years have passed. If you really want to calculate it, Yi Shuihan has only stepped into the Chaos Emperor Realm for a little over a million years.

For a Chaos Emperor, let alone a breakthrough, even the slightest progress takes millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of years. A million years is just a short period of seclusion for a Chaos Emperor. In that short time, Yi Shuihan directly skipped the quest for the Dao and achieved enlightenment, which is simply terrifying.

"It was just luck; I broke through while I was practicing."

Yi Shuihan said modestly, only to receive a look from Dongming that said, "You'd better believe me."

It took Dongming a while to calm himself down. After learning that Yi Shuihan had achieved the Enlightenment Realm, he valued Yi Shuihan even more. Now, Yi Shuihan's status in his heart was no lower than that of his fellow disciples who had entered the sect early and were close to him.

"Junior brother, who is he?"

In fact, Dongming had noticed Taiyi from the beginning, but he didn't care much about Taiyi, so he only spoke up now.
