Chapter 879: No!

"Look into my eyes!"

Xu Que shouted again, the golden light in his pupils intensifying, as if an endless sea of golden flames was sweeping out, shrouding the surroundings and devouring all things.

Finally, the woman in white stiffened, standing dazed on the spot, her eyes vacant.

"Ill... Illusion? No, this is a pupil technique!" The Eight-Headed Serpent watched from behind, its heart pounding and its body drenched in cold sweat, secretly thinking it was fortunate it hadn't offended this devil.

Pupil techniques had existed since ancient times; they were a type of extremely bizarre Dharma technique. Without needing to set up array patterns, one could borrow powerful divine soul strength and Dao Rhyme to directly drag a person into an illusion, which was incredibly overbearing.

When Xu Que had first obtained the inheritance of this Fire Eye Pupil from beneath Five Elements Mountain, he hadn't been able to cultivate it. However, he had accidentally obtained a rune beneath Mount Tai, which directly completed the inheritance, allowing him to bypass the constraints of Dao Rhyme and directly inherit this Fire Eye Pupil, known as one of the Five Elements Heavenly Pupils.

As long as his mind stirred, he could construct a Fire Element illusion and drag his opponent into it.

And now, although the woman in white's body was standing outside perfectly fine, her consciousness was already in the midst of a vast sea of fire.

The golden flames were as dazzling and brilliant as gold, and the radiance emitted by the flames was even more blinding than sunlight, making it difficult for people to look directly at them.

The body formed by the woman in white's consciousness was right in the middle of it; her clothes were incinerated on the spot, and her divine soul endured terrifying destruction and torture, as if she were being seized by someone to refine her soul.

"Ah..." she let out a shrill scream, her long hair tied up, standing amidst the golden flames like a female demon being suppressed.

Yet she was unable to move her body at all; Xu Que's Dao Rhyme had turned into shackles, imprisoning her True Essence and also imprisoning her divine soul, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

Boom!

Suddenly, a muffled sound erupted within her body, like the roar of divine thunder.

Yet the woman in white felt a sense of comfort, her whole body feeling light, as if the heavy pressure on her shoulders had suddenly decreased drastically.

"This is..." she was startled, her face filled with shock.

Meanwhile, outside the illusion, at the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

The woman in white's body swayed slightly, wisps of fresh blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, but the surrounding stone walls were slowly melting.

This mountain cave, evolved from an illusion array, was dissolving bit by bit, and the formation was gradually being destroyed.

"The formation is about to disappear?" The Eight-Headed Serpent was also filled with shock, its eyes brimming with wild joy.

It had been suppressed for over ten thousand years; although it had been sleeping for most of that time, it had long since been unable to endure the loneliness and solitude. How could it have endured the remaining four million nine hundred thousand plus years? Now that the formation was about to shatter, it meant it was about to regain its freedom.

"Using an illusion to break an illusion—such a genius idea, under the heavens, only I could think of it!" Xu Que immediately laughed.

The woman in white had just said that this illusion array was evolved with her avatar as the core.

Therefore, Xu Que using his pupil technique to drag her into the fire illusion was equivalent to dragging the entire illusion array into his own, forcibly crushing it.

This method was like one big fish swallowing another; either it would burst, or the other would die.

However, on Xu Que's side, he wasn't afraid of bursting at all, because the power of this pupil technique far exceeded imagination; grinding away an old, dilapidated illusion array was simply as easy as turning over his hand.

Boom!

Finally, the entire formation collapsed, and all the stone walls dissolved like ice and snow.

Everything returned to its original appearance; the abrupt mountain peaks were still mountain peaks, and many remains of ancient buildings were revealed on them, spanning dozens of miles. One could imagine that the Kunlun Immortal Sect of those years had not been small.

"Upper Immortal is awesome!" The Eight-Headed Serpent immediately let out a long howl, incredibly excited, with old tears streaming down its face.

It couldn't help but be excited! Having been suppressed for so many years, it had finally shaken off the seal and regained its freedom.

"Awoo, who? Who did it? Where is this Divine Venerable's Peach of Immortality?" Suddenly, Er Gouzi's voice also rang out.

It was holding a piece of ice and snow in its claws, having gnawed away more than half of it, with snow flurries still remaining at the corners of its mouth; it had clearly been caught in the illusion, mistaking the snow for a Peach of Immortality.

At this moment, the illusion array disappeared, and Er Gouzi was furious, feeling that the Peach of Immortality had been stolen by someone. It was extremely angry, its pair of furious eyes scanning everywhere, wanting to glare someone to death.

On the other side, Xu Feifei was sitting on the ground, and Jiang Hongyan was holding the Creation Jade Disc to protect her, having actually resisted the illusion array; the two of them had been safe the whole time.

Now that the formation was destroyed and Xu Que and Er Gouzi had appeared, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed over.

"What happened?" Jiang Hongyan asked.

Xu Que smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, just accidentally fell into an illusion. But it's fine, I harvested an Eight-Headed Serpent that had one head chopped off; I can take it back to be a Mountain-Suppressing Beast!"

A serpent?

Jiang Hongyan and the others were startled, including Er Gouzi, all looking at the Eight-Headed Serpent.

The Eight-Headed Serpent was also dumbfounded, looking at Xu Que in disbelief, and said in extreme panic: "Up... Upper Immortal, you... you mustn't! I finally got rid of the seal, why do you want to catch me back to be a Mountain-Suppressing Beast! I, damn it, really don't know how to suppress a mountain!"

"What are you panicking about? I'm doing this for your own good. Do you have a future staying in this place? You'd better obediently follow me to the Cultivation World. The spiritual energy there is abundant; if you go there and cultivate for a few years, you can immediately transform into a nine-headed giant dragon and step into the Immortal Realm! By then, your meat will also become fresh and juicy, and one bite will be full of... cough cough, don't misunderstand, I'm not talking about you!"

Seeing the Eight-Headed Serpent scared into a cold sweat, Xu Que immediately forced an awkward laugh.

The Eight-Headed Serpent was helpless: "Upper Immortal, I... I don't want to go..."

"You don't want to go? Sigh, alright then. I originally thought you were quite smart and wanted to gift you some fortune, but since you don't want it, I can't force you." Xu Que waved his hand.

The Eight-Headed Serpent immediately breathed a long sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Upper Immortal, for your understanding!"

"It's nothing! Don't be polite!" Xu Que waved his hand again, his gaze turning to Er Gouzi, and shouted: "Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi, what are you dazing off for? Come over and recognize a relative! Damn it, don't be shy! Come over quickly, bring the pot, we're having snake soup tonight!"

"Holy crap, for real? Snake soup is good!" Er Gouzi's eyes immediately shone with brilliance, incredibly surprised. Looking at the Eight-Headed Serpent, it was like it was sizing up a delicacy, and it couldn't help but drool at the corners of its mouth.

The Eight-Headed Serpent, however, was completely terrified. Back in the day, it had also been a hegemon on Earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Who would have thought that after ten thousand years, stepping into the world again, it would become someone else's food.

Snake soup!

Snake your sister!

"Upper Immortal, Upper Immortal, don't play with me, I'll go to the Cultivation World, I'll go to the Cultivation World with you, is that okay?" It immediately said with a mournful face.

"Ah? You want to go again? Don't, I'm the type of person who dislikes forcing others the most. If you don't want to go, I definitely won't force you!" Xu Que said understandingly.

The Eight-Headed Serpent straightened its heads and replied firmly: "Not forced, not forced at all!"

"Hmm, that's good! Er Gouzi, put the pot away, we're having northwest wind tonight!" Xu Que waved his hand and said.

"Northwest wind? Holy crap, no, I don't want that, this Divine Venerable wants to eat snake soup, wants to eat snake soup!" Er Gouzi wouldn't have it, lying on the ground and frantically rubbing its body, looking like it was dying.

Bang!

Xu Que didn't say a word, walked up and gave it a kick, and Er Gouzi immediately became obedient.

Swoosh!

Almost at the same time, a white figure slowly walked over from the mountain summit; it was the woman in white, the avatar shadow of the Kunlun Master.

Her long hair reached her waist, and her beautiful face appeared somewhat pale and bloodless, but she couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

Her True Essence was still imprisoned by the Dao Rhyme shackles, so she could only walk over on foot, looking at Xu Que and saying: "Thank you, Young Master! I have no way to repay such great kindness. If Young Master does not mind, I am willing to serve by Young Master's side for ten years! For these ten years, I am yours!"

"No!" Xu Feifei and Er Gouzi shouted in unison.
