Chapter 1811: Competing for Control

Miao Zhantian indeed didn't find Qian Huan's main body or dharma image, and couldn't cause direct damage to Him, but He touched a key point: Qian Huan being able to do whatever He wanted in this world was very likely because He had entered the "Heaven-Man Unity" state again—this might be the reason why He hadn't shown His face all along.

Therefore, seriously damaging the world itself was damaging Immortal Qian Huan!

This was the first heavy counterattack Miao Zhantian made after crossing the realm.

He Lingchuan's eyes flashed slightly; Miao Zhantian's power was so great that He didn't fall behind even in Qian Huan's territory.

Excellent; he had previously worried that Miao Zhantian's power was insufficient, but now it seemed that the power of a high-ranking god was still far beyond imagination.

Golden light spread everywhere on Silver Pearl Island, just like the pattern He Lingchuan drew on the wall, wanting to construct a huge single-eye formation.

Zhu Xiuer explained: "Once this formation is constructed, Miao Zhantian can pierce and solidify His power into this land."

Otherwise, Miao Zhantian would be careless for a moment, fall into Qian Huan's trap, and be very passive everywhere.

He wanted to turn passive into active, so He inevitably had to put in more effort. The best way was to turn His power into a wedge, driving it in one by one into Qian Huan's territory. In this way, He had a foothold, a fulcrum, and could quickly strengthen Himself step by step."

Dong Rui wondered: "This train of thought is very similar to the Tiangong building lighthouses in the illusion realm earlier."

"One method leads to all methods." Zhu Xiuer said. "To find a breakthrough in the enemy's territory, the methods are all similar."

It had just finished speaking when the ground suddenly trembled.

This was different from the previous external impact of the Divine Fire Heavenly Meteor on Silver Pearl Island; it came from underground, one shake more violent than the other, and the Illusion Sect members in this space couldn't even stand steady.

Elder Liu looked toward the back, worried: "The Immortal Venerable is angry!"

Miao Zhantian threw meteors and connected formations in Qian Huan's territory, showing off His skills and galloping across the field; Qian Huan wasn't in a deep sleep state, how could He let Him do whatever He wanted?

Thus, the Illusion Sect group heard the muffled sound of tearing from deep within the crust, like the low roar of a giant beast.

Reflected in the sand table, several estuary entrances of Silver Pearl Island suddenly collapsed, and seawater poured in, galloping all the way.

Those few openings cracked larger and larger, actually heading toward the meteorite craters.

Seawater followed closely behind, surging with waves; the first deep ravine turned into a sea trench within a quarter of an hour! "Beautiful! The Immortal Venerable's move is extraordinary." Elder Liu clapped his hands. "He should teach Miao Zhantian a lesson!"

He must let Him know that this is still the Immortal Venerable's home field, and He shouldn't think about doing whatever He wants!

Silver Pearl Island was originally smashed with deep gullies and giant pits everywhere; now Qian Huan slightly used means to change the terrain, immediately introducing seawater into the island's hinterland, almost pouring all the way along the meteorite craters.

The golden light along the line was all extinguished.

It is conceivable that once the seawater fills all the meteorite craters, the Eye of Truth formation that Miao Zhantian used supreme power and painstakingly chiseled out will definitely fail! By then, Qian Huan will regain the upper hand.

Miao Zhantian naturally wouldn't be reconciled to losing like this, so everyone immediately saw from the sand table that large groups of white vapor began to emerge from the gullies connecting the meteorite craters—

This was seawater rapidly evaporating.

In several sections where seawater accumulated shallowly, evaporation was too fast, and a piece of golden light exploded at the bottom of the gully again.

Miao Zhantian's formation returned to the field.

Next, what was performed on the sand table was a tug-of-war between the two giants; sometimes seawater filled more gullies, sometimes golden light regained each meteorite crater, tides rising and falling, you come and I go, fighting very lively.

Wan Qiufeng and the others watched for a long time, becoming even more confused: "These two have supreme divine power, what exactly are they fighting for now?"

Silver Pearl Island was just a fragmented piece of land; you finish bombing and I take the stage. Besides tearing it into an increasingly wretched state, what purpose did it actually serve? They were valiant warriors whose understanding of combat was face-to-face fighting with the enemy; whether using combat techniques or magic powers, there was ultimately a visible enemy.

Unlike these two great beings, who haven't even seen each other's faces, yet can fight heaven-collapsing and earth-shattering battles by fighting through the air.

This form of battle is very difficult for them to experience.

Actually, not to mention these black-armored soldiers, not many of the Illusion Sect members behind Elder Liu could understand.

"What they are fighting for is control over this world." He Lingchuan pointed to a corner of the sand table. "Look here, look carefully."

What he pointed to was a large piece of mountain land completely wrapped in golden light, just at the angle between the pupil and the eye of the "Eye of Truth" formation, with an area of nearly a hundred qing.

Everything on the sand table was fought fiercely, and the Yangshan people and Illusion Sect members wouldn't pay special attention to this place, until He Lingchuan pointed it out emphatically. They stared and looked, eh, this piece of mountain land seems a bit different? The sand table that Elder Liu pulled out is connected to the laws of this realm and is a completely reduced topographic map of the Inverted Sea in equal proportions. Whatever exists on this island, no matter how big or small, will be reflected in the sand table.

But this piece of mountain land was somewhat strange.

How should it be said? Blurry.

At first glance, this place also had undulating mountains and some surviving vegetation. But looking closely, everyone discovered that the precision of the sand table was not enough; several mountain peaks were embodied as small mounds, the lines blurry, just like a very perfunctory model.

As for the vegetation, it was just a bit of green smeared on the mountain. Dong Rui used the magnifying glass turned from the Soul-Sucking Mirror to look closely, but couldn't see the specific forest trees.

But he discovered: "The scenery on this area of the sand table seems to be becoming increasingly rough."

"The scenery on the sand table is being restored to sand." Elder Liu's expression was solemn. "If the Immortal Venerable doesn't take it back, it will disappear from the sand table."

This meant that Qian Huan had lost control of this area.

"The more and larger the area occupied by Miao Zhantian's formation, the weaker Immortal Qian Huan's control over this realm will be."

He Lingchuan turned to Elder Liu: "After crossing Yaozi Lake, the world we are in is even more controlled by Immortal Qian Huan, right?"

He asked very implicitly, and Elder Liu nodded.

"Immortal Qian Huan has never shown His face, only calling upon the inherent power of this piece of heaven and earth to attack Miao Zhantian and the Tiangong team." The explicit power is the ghost army, while the implicit power is the various restrictions of this piece of heaven and earth on Miao Zhantian. "Can it be considered that the battle between Miao Zhantian and Immortal Qian Huan now is also fighting for this piece of heaven and earth, or further, fighting for control over 'rules'?"

Elder Liu's expression was solemn, but the gaze looking at him revealed surprise:

"Continue."

This young man wasn't even an immortal, but unknowingly, Elder Liu already valued his viewpoint strategy very much.

"Immortal Qian Huan's control over this place is too powerful; Miao Zhantian wants to shake His rule, so He doesn't care about three-seven-twenty-one, nor does He want to distinguish which is true and which is illusion, destroying wantonly first. Only by breaking the stable rules originally existing in this world does Miao Zhantian have a chance. This is called 'no breaking, no establishing'; break first, then establish." Therefore, Miao Zhantian was willing to use the "Divine Fire Heavenly Meteor" which was both energy-consuming and powerful.

He believed one point: these accumulated heavenly demons and ancient immortals wouldn't squander their power casually, unless the goal was important enough.

The ghost army that troubled the Tiangong was definitely not the main target of His Divine Fire Heavenly Meteor.

"Once He tears this world apart and the multiple rules determined by the Immortal Venerable are all broken, Miao Zhantian will start the second step of the plan, which is to quickly build His own rules, trying to compete with the Immortal Venerable." He Lingchuan pointed to the giant meteorite craters on the sand table. "The specific method is to fully construct this formation, taking advantage of the world being fragmented to quickly implant Miao Zhantian's underlying rules, which is 'truth'!"

Zhu Xiuer immediately said: "I heard that True Monarch Cang Xi's 'Divine Fire' is also called 'Divine Xi,' meaning it is a hundred times more powerful than the sun's true fire."

Dong Rui suddenly realized: "No wonder Miao Zhantian wants to use True Monarch Cang Xi's skin and divine abilities; it turns out it is naturally incompatible with Immortal Qian Huan!"

It is said that the clear sky and bright sun specifically break illusions. These seventeen "Divine Xi" buried in the ground of Silver Pearl Island, glowing and heating, are like seventeen suns, which in themselves are a continuous destruction of Qian Huan's various illusion formation spells.

How much effort does Qian Huan have to spend to maintain the continued operation of the entire illusion realm? Correspondingly, Miao Zhantian also has to constantly pour divine power into the Divine Fire Array to compete with Qian Huan.

In one word of disagreement, the two giants entered the wrestling stage.

"So Miao Zhantian's actions in this realm, like in the illusion realm, are also injecting 'truth' into Silver Pearl Island to counter and expel 'illusion'." He Lingchuan grabbed the pot from his arms and took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "Once He succeeds, Silver Pearl Island will likely be occupied by Him, and we won't be able to hide; we will definitely be found and killed by Him."

In short, the battle method between Miao Zhantian and Qian Huan revolves around the word "rules": one is to fully destroy the opponent's rules, and the other is to strive to establish one's own rules.

Elder Liu hadn't answered yet when a voice sounded first: "Well said, but Miao Zhantian won't succeed so easily!"

Very familiar.

He Lingchuan immediately heard that this was Sect Master Xiao.

Everyone turned their heads and indeed saw Xiao Wencheng walking out from the depths of the stone room, followed by four people, wearing brocade robes and magnificent crowns, also dressed as the Illusion Sect.

The Illusion Sect members were overjoyed to see them: "Elder Xue!"

"Elder Bai!"

"And Elder Pi and Elder Ning have also returned!"

With the great beings of the sect returning, the morale of the Illusion Sect soared.

The situation was special, and Xiao Wencheng introduced them to He Lingchuan in a few words. Sure enough, these four were the four great immortals of the Illusion Sect who had previously entered Yaozi Lake and were trapped in this realm.

At that time, Yaozi Lake was a one-way trip, but they had the aura of the Illusion Sect, and the ghost people of this realm regarded them as their own kind rather than Yakshas, so they stayed in Sun Wheel City, and this stay lasted for decades.

Qian Huan woke up, and these few were naturally released. ===== CHAPTER 1812 =====
