Chapter 5138 Difficult to Distinguish Between Reality and Illusion

Chapter 5138 Difficult to Distinguish Between Reality and Illusion
Bang!
Not far from Xiao Yan, a one-eyed demonic beast suddenly sprang up, its giant claws tearing apart the human sitting beside it, causing blood to splatter everywhere, some of it even splashing towards Xiao Yan.

However, the blood turned into mist and dissipated the moment it approached Xiao Yan.

Immediately on the other side, three nearly humanoid beastmen with bone wings sprouted from their backs rushed toward the palace entrance at great speed.

Strangely, the palace didn't have a closed door; on the contrary, it didn't have a door at all.

There was only one deep, dark entrance, so they probably wanted to be the first to get in.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, because he couldn't hear any conversations around him.

Whether human or animal, if one wakes up from a terrifying dream, how could one not be anxious or try to communicate with each other?

However, he didn't hear a single word of Xiao Yan's words.

What's even stranger is that when his soul power in the Void Realm spread out, the auras he could sense were all extraordinary. At least all the beings appearing on this platform were powerful beings at the third level of the Immortal God Realm.

There is even a fourth level, one that is his equal.

"Are there so many immortal and powerful beings like gods in the world of mountains and seas?"

Xiao Yan scanned the area with his gaze and used his soul power to try to find Xuan Huang and the others, as well as Tian Cang Wang and his companions, but none of them were there.

"Could it be that this palace has more than one entrance?"

Xiao Yan found it strange, so he stood up and followed the crowd toward the palace entrance.

There were two stone pillars at the entrance. Xiao Yan deliberately slowed down, letting these beings enter first without any problem. Rushing too fast was not a good thing.

The stone pillar was covered with strange runes. Xiao Yan frowned slightly and memorized the runes.

Soon, all the awakened members of the platform rushed into the palace, except for Xiao Yan, who was the last to step into the palace.

Its interior was far more vast than Xiao Yan had imagined. The moment he stepped into the gateless entrance, the scene changed drastically.

It was no longer a dark and quiet platform, but a magnificent and boundless palace.

The dome hangs high, with carved beams and painted rafters, and contains a rich, almost tangible, primordial energy. Although the primordial energy has little effect on the immortality of gods, entering this place is indeed refreshing.

However, this grandeur was indeed shattered by the ear-piercing explosions and screams.

Inside the main hall, a chaotic battlefield had already broken out.

Countless beams of light shot through the air at incredible speed; they were none other than pills radiating immense energy!
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and his eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.

They came in various shapes, some as red as fire, others as blue as ice. Without exception, Xiao Yan was certain that each pill was at least a divine-grade pill, or even a transcendent-grade pill!
These elixirs seemed to possess sentience, moving nimbly among the pillars and platforms within the main hall.

Therefore, all beings that enter this place, whether human or beast, are flying everywhere, trying to catch these flying pills.

Good pills emit amazing fluctuations, which will inevitably lead to fighting and even life-or-death battles.

Besides elixirs, there were also various divine weapons and artifacts. Although they did not fly, most of them were sealed by crystals, as if they could not be stored in storage rings, which led to fierce competition.

As far as Xiao Yan could see, there were scenes of fierce fighting.

All the awakened powerhouses on the platform were completely ignited by the temptation before them, and their fervor for competition was completely aroused.

The conspicuous one-eyed behemoth roared and swung its claws. It had swallowed several divine pills, and its internal energy was now surging wildly. It seemed that it was not satisfied and continued to fight and plunder.

Xiao Yan still didn't detect any familiar aura, and even when he looked at the Mermaid King Xing Ting, he didn't see him.

At this moment, Xiao Yan activated the Concealing Jade to hide his aura, making him appear as if he were invisible on the battlefield, with no one able to approach him.

These pills before him, whether divine pills or weapons, were not of any interest to Xiao Yan given his current vision and strength; he was more focused on contemplation.

But at that moment, an extremely peculiar aura pierced through the chaotic energy field and instantly captured Xiao Yan's mind!

It wasn't just about sheer power; it was an extraordinary feeling. This pill was at least a Transcendent-grade one!

However, the reason why the fluctuations emitted by this pill made Xiao Yan's heart pound was that it vaguely emitted a strong premonition that it could raise his cultivation level after he swallowed it.

Xiao Yan didn't know what kind of pill it was, but the incredibly strong feeling made him move without hesitation and chase after the direction the pill had gone.

Lightning flashed beneath his feet, and he appeared in front of the pill in an instant, just as Xiao Yan reached out to grab it.

Suddenly, a giant claw, larger than Xiao Yan's entire body, came hurtling towards him, forcing him to dodge.

This attack is quite powerful; there's no need to confront it head-on.

At the same time, this pill was also extremely agile. With a bang, it turned into white smoke and disappeared into nothingness. When it reappeared, it was already on the other side of the main hall.

Xiao Yan twisted and turned, trying to grab the pill, but no matter what he did, he was always just a little short.

However, this pill soon seemed to attract the attention of many powerful individuals, who began to pursue it.

Xiao Yan was very fast, but even when he caught the pills, they still managed to escape.

There were also several ferocious beasts from the world of mountains and seas, of unknown race, which opened their huge mouths and swallowed them all whole.

The elixir continued to hover nimbly, as if mocking all those in the hall who coveted it.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He did not choose to continue the pursuit, but looked around and a doubt arose in his mind once again.

"Have I... really woken up? Is this reality, or a dream?!"

Xiao Yan was startled. After thinking carefully, he looked at the chaotic scene in the main hall and couldn't see anything amiss. But dreams are supposed to be realistic.

Moreover, it was not an ordinary dream, but one from the Lord of Dreams.

He was almost certain that he was still asleep, but unlike his previous dreams, he couldn't even remember them.

He has memories of this dream and is fully aware that he has entered the dream of the Lord of Illusions.

"The first dream was not a dream; the second dream was one I did not know was a dream; this is the third dream, one knows the dream yet cannot break free from it; this master of illusions... just how many more dreams does he have!"

Xiao Yan clenched his fist, feeling somewhat uneasy. Layers of dreams piled up, as if they were a maze built from dreams.

The reason Xiao Yan was able to be certain that this was a dream was because he had lost his sense of crisis.

The intense sense of crisis that had been building up to be gone was not a good thing for him; on the contrary, he found himself in a completely passive position.
