Chapter 697: Illusion Immunity! (Seeking monthly votes)

【Contestant Lin Qi, please prepare to take the stage!】

【Next, we invite the two contestants for the 5th match to take the stage!】

Under the announcement of the intelligent voice, the two opponents for the 5th match appeared on the giant screen.

"It's my turn!"

After Lin Qi spoke, he was enveloped by a blue beam of light, shot into the sky, and descended onto the giant arena.

He held a black-gold great spear in one hand, watching his opponent for this match!

Opposite him, a slender, graceful figure emerged. She had a graceful posture and wore tight-fitting silver battle armor, highlighting her beautiful figure, while holding a sharp silver sword in one hand.

She also possessed exquisite facial features and three beautiful silver eyes, which emitted a deep luster like gemstones.

Especially the third eye in the center of her forehead, which radiated a peculiar brilliance!

A strong mental fluctuation was released from her three eyes.

Once the intelligent voice announced the start, she would instantly release an illusion!

She was Lin Qi's opponent for this match—He Yu of the God-Eye Race!

At this moment, He Yu suddenly spoke:

"Contestant Lin Qi, first place in the mental trial!"

"You broke the record of our God-Eye Race!"

"I wonder if you can withstand my illusion?"

Lin Qi smiled slightly and said, "I am also very curious about that!"

"However, I have no reason to lose this battle; I need to advance!"

He Yu nodded and said, "The same goes for me!"

"I hope neither of us holds back and we fight with all our might!"

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【Countdown finished, the competition officially begins!】

"Hum!!"

The moment the intelligent voice announced the start, He Yu immediately activated her illusion, and intense mental light burst forth from her silver eyes.

At the same time, the moment he met her silver eyes, Lin Qi's eyes also burst with golden light, and golden patterns flowed within his pupils.

【Golden Pupils】 activated!

At the same time, he also felt a strong illusion aura, although it lacked the silent and soundless feeling of the mental trial.

But an ordinary martial artist would be hit instantly.

At this moment, Lin Qi felt his forehead bulging, unable to wait to open it.

"Swish!"

At the same time, two strong layers of green patterns appeared on her skin.

He Yu brandished her battle sword, and green sword Gang flowed at the sharp tip of the sword!

In the high-level spectator stands, high-level figures from countless civilizations were also watching the match.

Their existence at the Fifth Realm of the universe had also participated in the Deep Space Genius Tournament, and all had joined supreme forces, being members of them.

Looking at the competition, they were all watching the juniors of their own forces.

In the region of the God-Eye Star Domain, countless high-level figures who also possessed three eyes watched the giant screen with their three eyes.

They watched Lin Qi within it coldly, as if they could release divine light at any time to pierce through everything before them!

"It has begun!"

"The first place in the mental trial and the first place in the illusion trial of previous sessions have all been monopolized by our God-Eye Race!"

"Yet he broke the record and surpassed our God-Eye Race!"

"He Yu can also be considered an outstanding genius in our God-Eye Race, and what she is best at is illusion!"

"Although it cannot compare to the illusion trial, it can be artificially changed, and at the same time, the output of mental power can be increased, allowing the opponent to be completely immersed in it."

"In the end, they can only have their brains pierced by mental power, or be controlled to commit suicide!"

"I wonder if this little guy named Lin Qi can withstand it!"

In the center of the crowd, a white-robed man with a vast aura and three eyes radiating divine might also revealed an interesting expression.

He was one of the highest-level figures of the God-Eye Race, and at this moment, he had also logged on to watch the match.

On the giant arena.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The scenery before Lin Qi began to change.

"It doesn't enter the illusion as naturally as the mental trial, bad review!"

He now felt as if he had been forcibly pulled into an illusion, and he could choose to be pulled in.

Or stand still and break the illusion on the spot!

And the illusion trial let you enter the illusion without knowing it.

The level of illusion skill was immediately judged!

So Lin Qi decisively chose to stand in place, steady as a rock.

"Hmm?"

He Yu, who was brandishing her long sword, had her expression change; she only felt that a large amount of mental power was flowing away.

"How can this be, Lin Qi actually hasn't entered the illusion yet!"

"Damn it, my mental consumption is huge!"

He Yu was shocked; only when facing a mental cultivator with extremely strong mental power, or a martial artist with an extremely firm will, would such a situation occur.

Usually, only when she fought with He Mo would such a situation of crazy mental power loss occur.

Thinking of this, she did not hesitate and frantically outputted mental power.

She had to pull Lin Qi into the illusion.

"Swish!!"

And she herself brandished her sharp sword, and the sword Gang slashed out with a boom.

"Hum hum!!"

In an instant, the dazzling golden light burst forth from Lin Qi's body, and the Golden Emperor Gangjin automatically operated, condensing into a protective shield like flowing liquid!

"Bang!"

The sword Gang hit the protective shield and exploded with a boom, forming a storm that dissipated.

"It was blocked?"

"This guy's defense is so strong?"

She immediately rushed forward and thrust the long sword in her hand, seeing the cyan Gangjin rotating at high speed, forming a strike with corrosiveness and penetration.

"Hum!"

"Bang!"

"Die!"

Just at the moment of the collision, Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura was released from his body!

"How... awake?"

He Yu's three silver eyes had their cold aura dissipate, as if she had seen a terrifying change.

Her silver eyes widened, and her pupils shrank slightly.

"Your illusion is too weak!"

Lin Qi's eyes burst with golden light, and he suddenly shouted!

Looking at the thrusting sharp sword, he brandished the black-gold great spear in his hand with one hand.

"Whoosh!!"

Accompanied by a strong tearing sound, terrifying Gangjin erupted, and the spear body was surrounded by Gangjin!

"Bang!"

It collided with the sharp sword, accompanied by a deafening loud noise!

The green spiral Gangjin shattered instantly, and He Yu was sent flying backward as if hit by a hundred-ton king.

"Puff~"

He Yu widened her eyes, only feeling that her body had lost sensation, and her internal organs, muscles, and bones had all appeared with varying degrees of wear and tear.

She was severely injured in one move!

"Swish!"

The next second, golden light flashed before her eyes, and a golden ray penetrated the air and shot out straight!

The dazzling sharpness was like layers of blade wheels surrounding the air, cutting frantically!

Having three eyes allowed He Yu to possess stronger observation skills!

In battle, she could clearly observe the opponent's weaknesses!

"Can't dodge it!"

"Puff~"

He Yu's three eyes widened to the maximum, and she could only clearly see Lin Qi's spear tip thrusting out, piercing his heart!

As blood spurted, He Yu's entire body was lifted up by the great spear.

"Your illusion is not strong enough!"

Lin Qi spoke slowly.

After hearing this, He Yu only felt insulted, but she was helpless now!

The next second, she turned into nothingness and dissipated.

【Battle over, Lin Qi (Lieyang Star Domain) wins!】

【Contestant Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully advancing to the next round!】

Following the announcement of victory by the intelligent voice, the spectator stands also boiled over.

"Won, Lin Qi actually won, and won so easily!"

"The God-Eye Race's illusion failed, it simply couldn't stump Lin Qi!"

"Worthy of being the first place in the mental trial, this willpower can instantly break the illusion!"

"The God-Eye Race's invincible illusion finally lost its effect on Lin Qi!"

"Now, Lin Qi has the qualifications to enter the three great holy lands!"

"I feel Lin Qi's strength is even more powerful than imagined; he might be able to obtain a higher ranking!"

In the spectator seats for the 108 star domains.

In the God-Eye region, discussions came from many high-level figures.

"Willpower beyond imagination!"

"Illusion won't have a good effect on this kind of person!"

"He Yu's illusion had absolutely no effect on him!"

"Others won't work either."

"Perhaps only by switching to He Mo would there be a chance to pull him into the illusion."

"Truly a rare genius, this willpower will make his future martial path much easier!" "I estimate that many martial artists from the three great holy lands are optimistic about Lin Qi!"

"Even if the current ranking is not high enough, after entering the three great holy lands, he will rise sooner or later!"

On the contestant plaza.

He Yu was teleported back, and looking at the other God-Eye Race members, she said dejectedly:

"My illusion had no effect on Lin Qi!"

"My mental power flowed away frantically, but it still couldn't cause an impact on him, unable to pull him into the illusion."

Others were also stunned after hearing this.

"Actually so powerful!"

"In previous sessions, even star-domain-level geniuses with special constitutions would be hit by illusions!"

"It's just that they possessed stronger body instincts and could mobilize Gangjin to resist!"

"Once pain appeared in the body, they could quickly break free!"

"Now this Lin Qi is actually even stronger, almost not hit by illusions at all!"

"He is too restraining to our illusionists!"

"Perhaps only He Mo can defeat him!"

He Mo among the crowd nodded and said: "We God-Eye Race members, once matched with Lin Qi, are hard to win!"

"Even if I want to defeat him, it is not easy!"

"I hope we won't be matched with him next!"

"That would only waste the rewards given by the Deep Space Academy in vain!"

At the same time, in the Tianyuan Star Domain region, dozens of powerful contestants gathered together to express their views.

They were the strongest star domain of the entire human race; among the 850 contestants, they also occupied positions with over 60 contestants.

"This Lin Qi is indeed powerful!"

"Willpower is very strong, this match can't show his specific combat power!"

"Feels like he will be a good opponent, hope to be matched with him in the next few rounds!"

Pan Kai, wearing a black robe, said.

"That probably won't work!"

"Except for willpower, Lin Qi's other aspects are still quite lacking!"

"Or rather, the only thing Lin Qi can bring out is willpower."

"It was really lucky to be matched with the God-Eye Race that he restrains."

"In the next few rounds, he probably won't be so relaxed."

On the other side, Lin Qi was teleported back.

Jiang Miaoyin smiled and said: "Brother Lin Qi, congratulations on successfully advancing, you have now stepped into the three great holy lands with one foot!"

Jiang Tao also laughed: "The God-Eye Race has now met its nemesis!"

"Or rather, all mental cultivators who are good at illusions will be blind when facing Lin Lin Qi Ge!"

Sun Sheng also revealed an excited smile:

"And we from Blue Star finally have someone entering the three great holy lands!"

Everyone smiled one after another.

Having worked hard for so long, having a clansman enter the three great holy lands, they were also very happy!

Blue Star's background had also become even more powerful!

Lin Qi also smiled, feeling the Heavenly Eye in his heart.

"It seems I still underestimated the ability of the Heavenly Eye!"

"Even if it is not opened, I still have extremely terrifying resistance to illusions!"

"Comparing it like this, He Yu's illusion is indeed not good."

"Her mental power won't be much higher than mine; when she casts an illusion, it is almost impossible for me to be hit!"

"And the illusion trial in the mental trial is indeed stronger than imagined!"

"Just like the introduction said, even illusions cast by the three realms of the universe, my Heavenly Eye can be immune to!"

"Unless it is the peak existence of the four realms of the universe, can I be made to enter the illusion!"

Lin Qi nodded secretly; looking at it this way, in the future when facing silent illusions.

His safety could also be guaranteed!

Of course, if the other party sent an existence of the four realms of the universe to assassinate him, he still wouldn't be able to run away!

Just hope that after the Deep Space Genius Tournament ends, the three great holy lands can send him some life-saving equipment!

The third round was still continuing after Lin Qi's match ended!

Facing the temptation of joining the three great holy lands, countless contestants went all out, all fighting desperately.

They contributed one wonderful battle after another.

Lin Qi was still observing his opponents.

By observing the opponents' fighting styles and the exquisiteness of their secret manuals, he also seemed to have some realizations.

Especially Gu Taao, Lan, Shen Tu Zhen, and their group of star-domain-level geniuses.

"Not good, in terms of inheritance, I still have a gap with them!"

Lin Qi frowned; although the "World-Extinguishing Spear Canon" he practiced had been perfected, its exquisiteness had been greatly improved.

Even in the Wan Fage, it belonged to the most exquisite first-class!

It could get a nine-and-a-half-star rating!

But compared to the overlords in the 108 star domains, the exquisiteness was still half a star short.

This was a huge disadvantage for him; exquisite secret manuals could better utilize the power of laws and erupt with stronger combat power!

"If I want to win, I must rely on the advantages of physical fitness, deep understanding of laws, and combat talent!"

Lin Qi felt that using 【Golden Pupils】 could make up for part of the gap.

Wanting to advance easily was impossible!

"Feng Hao also advanced!"

"Now the Triangle Galaxy also has two people who can enter the three great holy lands!"

"It's a pity for Lande of the Nine Swords Star Domain; the data says he also comes from a small civilization!"

"It can be said to be the strongest genius in the history of the entire planet; it is said that his family members all died, and he joined the Nine Swords Tower force, wanting to join the three great holy lands to resurrect his family in the future!"

"He is indeed powerful, but unfortunately he was matched with an old man and lost by two moves!"

Jiang Tao and the others were eliminated, so they watched the match with a relaxed mindset.

Commenting while watching!

425 battles passed in the process of everyone watching and discussing.

Near the end, which was the last match.

Sun Sheng sighed:

"This Tianyuan Star Domain has such strong strength; I couldn't feel it before in the mental trial!"

"Now that three rounds have passed, out of 425 contestants, 53 are actually from the Tianyuan Star Domain; this strength is too exaggerated."

Li Tianxing also spoke: "And there are 45 old men!"

"It seems the competition in the Tianyuan Star Domain is also very fierce; none of them choose to break through to the second realm of the universe!"

"I guess they feel the second realm of the universe is too competitive!"

Everyone nodded; the Yu Kong realm was already very competitive, not to mention the second realm of the universe.

There were too many martial artists in this realm, too many old monsters, and many had reached a terrifying realm in their understanding of the power of laws!

Jiang Miaoyin suddenly spoke: "Then wouldn't the pressure on Senior Chi Di be very great?"

"He broke through only a few years earlier than us!"

Lin Qi laughed: "With Chi Di's strength, entering the supreme force should be no problem!"

"The time for the Deep Space Genius Tournament in the second realm of the universe will also last for several years; for Chi Di, this time is enough!"

"Boom!"

Just as a few people were chatting, the 425th battle ended!

Elder Xing Yu projected himself again, appearing before everyone.

Before him appeared 425 names, from different star domains!

"First, let us congratulate the 425 contestants; you will have the power to choose to enter the three great holy lands, and at the same time, you will receive an additional 10 million deep space coins as a reward, with cumulative rewards reaching as high as 80 million deep space coins!"

After Xing Yu finished speaking, the spectator stands boiled over!

In the contestant space, the advancing contestants also revealed smiles.

"80 million deep space coins, this is not a small amount, enough for cultivation after the genius tournament ends!"

"Not enough, I want more rewards!"

"This bit of money is not enough for me to break through to the third realm of the universe!"

Lin Qi also nodded secretly; after paying off the 50 million loan, he could still have 30 million deep space coins for cultivation.

The Yu Kong realm currently only belongs to the first realm of the universe, and breaking through to the second realm of the universe is a breakthrough of a major realm.

He had not broken through a major realm yet; this was a huge transformation.

The deep space coins required for this would definitely not be few!

Xing Yu listened to everyone's discussion and spoke again:

"For the following competition content, for every match won, the deep space coins obtained will be added by another 10 million!"

"Until the strongest champion is decided!"

"And the 425 contestants will continue to be matched according to the rules, among which one contestant will luckily have a bye!"

"There will be a large number of byes later, hope all contestants can luckily be given a bye!"

After Elder Xing Yu finished speaking, a multi-faceted blue crystal appeared in his hand, emitting vast blue light.

He saw the crystal in his hand rotating at high speed, turning into a dazzling blue star, and rushing into the sky!

"Boom!!"

Under the stirring of the starry sky, the blue star exploded with a boom, turning into a man with a tall posture, wearing black-gold battle armor, and a cold face.

【Bye: Lin Qi (Lieyang Star Domain)】

Xing Yu announced: "Let us congratulate Contestant Lin Qi from the Lieyang Star Domain; he has successfully advanced to the fifth round!"

"Other contestants will be matched with each other until the 212 advancing contestants are decided!"

Elder Xing Yu announced the end, and the remaining 424 names were also combined and paired with each other, forming a brand new battle table.

All displayed before all contestants.

The spectator stands and the contestant plaza suddenly became boiling, filled with various discussion sounds.

"Really didn't expect that it was Lin Qi from the Lieyang Star Domain who got the bye!"

"His luck is really good!"

"It is said that the bye in the arena tournament really depends on luck; regardless of strength, there is a chance to get a bye!"

"Because they are all people of the three great holy lands, as long as there is a bye, there is a reward, and the Deep Space Academy doesn't care about these!"
