Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1518 - 1266: Trapping the Empress_2

"What exactly do you want? What must I do for you to release my son?"The Eternal Empress's eyes flickered as she considered that she should first stabilize Chen Xiaoxiao in front of her.

"My demand is simple, hand over the Immortal Treasures you've found before, I don't want to be harmed by them!"

Chen Xiaoxiao said lightly.

"These are your only demands?"

The Eternal Empress's eyes widened as she pondered for a moment, quickly understanding why Chen Xiaoxiao was making such a demand.

The opponent surely wanted to prevent her from using those Immortal Treasures to counterattack him!

"You wish!"

Anger boiled within the Eternal Empress, knowing full well that without those Immortal Treasures, her combat power would be greatly reduced.

"If you don't want Yong Fu to die, hand over all the Immortal Treasures on you!"

Chen Xiaoxiao said coldly.

The Eternal Empress's mind raced, and after a while, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Fine, I will hand over my treasures!"

The Eternal Empress feigned helplessness.

"Very well, please place them on that chair!"

Chen Xiaoxiao said lightly.

The Eternal Empress took a deep breath and pretended to place the Immortal Treasures on the table. Then she raised her right hand, and a blast of Sword Qi shot out from her hand, surging towards Chen Xiaoxiao.

Almost in the next instant, she saw the Sword Qi piercing through Chen Xiaoxiao's body.

However, Chen Xiaoxiao seemed unbothered, still calmly sitting on the chair.

Seeing this, she suddenly realized that the Chen Xiaoxiao in front of her was just an illusion.

"Eternal Empress, I knew you would play tricks on me! Do you really not care if your precious son Yong Fu lives or dies?"

At this moment, Chen Xiaoxiao's voice echoed around.

"I'd rather he die than me!"

The Eternal Empress said coldly, realizing she couldn't waste time with Chen Xiaoxiao anymore and wanted to escape.

She reached out her right hand to grab the Immortal Treasures she had placed on the table earlier, intending to take them along as she left.

However, in the next moment, she was dumbfounded; the table and the Immortal Treasures had vanished without a trace in front of her.

"Heavens, what's going on?"

The Eternal Empress's face changed drastically, horror swelling in her heart.

She recalled how she considered those Immortal Treasures as lifesavers, and originally intended to just put up a front to deceive Chen Xiaoxiao.

She didn't want to lose those Immortal Treasures.

But now, she was stunned to find them disappearing without a trace before her, something she couldn't accept.

She immediately thought of a possibility that Chen Xiaoxiao might be lurking nearby.

So she hurriedly activated her cultivation technique, swinging her right hand, releasing countless Sword Qi towards the surroundings.

Yet in the next moment, all she saw was the white mist growing denser around her, engulfing her completely, without a trace of Chen Xiaoxiao, nor a sound from him.

"I figured it out, I'm trapped in an Illusion Array now!"

She waved her right hand, continuing to unleash countless Sword Qi around her.

This time, she heard the Sword Qi pounding the ground, resulting in violent explosions.

At the same time, she saw a chair blasted to pieces by the Sword Qi.

As she eyed the shattered chair, she pondered.

"What sort of Illusion Array is this exactly? Generally, if I'm in an Illusion Array, everything around me should be illusions created by it, yet this chair is real, how can this be?"

The Eternal Empress felt bewildered. Shortly after, her eyes lit up, turning into a streak of light as she dashed forward at extreme speed.

She didn't know how long she rushed forward, but after stopping and surveying the surroundings, she discovered the broken chair on the ground she'd previously shattered.

Seeing that shattered chair, her heart sank deeply, indicating her realization that she might be trapped in an enclosed space with no way out.

"Why is there such a powerful Illusion Array here?"

Her eyes flashed as she recalled records of Illusion Arrays in some classics.

She forced herself to calm down, understanding that if truly trapped in an Illusion Realm, escaping through sheer effort would be impossible.

Her mind raced, contemplating the Illusion Array's weakness.

She remembered a classic's descriptions of various types of Illusion Arrays.

An Illusion Array's strength depends on its level and how many rare materials sustain it.

Generally, for a higher-level Illusion Array to function well, it constantly consumes a substantial number of Illusion Array Energy Crystal Stones.

The higher the quality of an Illusion Array, the fewer Energy Stones needed, allowing it to end sooner.

A lower-ranked Illusion Array with fewer sustaining Energy Stones might still run for a long time.

Realizing this, the Eternal Empress determinedly made up her mind.

Taking a deep breath, her figure dashed forward again, a streak of light.

She speculated that moving very quickly forward might consume more of the Illusion Array's sustaining Energy Stones.

Judging that the array trapping her was likely a high-level Immortal Illusion Array, maintaining such required constant high consumption of Illusion Array Energy Crystal Stones.

If she did nothing, she couldn't foresee how long she'd remain trapped.

Unwilling to sit idly, she resolved to escape quickly regardless.

Outside the Illusion Array, Duan Gujin and Wu Xiuqing observed the Eternal Empress constantly moving within.

They knew the Eternal Empress was trapped in the array Wu Xiuqing set up.

As time passed and the Empress's energy dwindled, she would become easier for Wu Xiuqing to control.

After an hour, the Eternal Empress found her physical strength faltering.

She quickly retrieved and consumed some prepared Spiritual Medicine from her storage ring.

Soon, she'd regained some strength.

Yet clearly, she couldn't compare to when she first entered the Illusion Array.

Outside the Illusion Realm, Duan Gujin and Wu Xiuqing's Divine Sense locked onto the trapped Eternal Empress.

They knew only after her strength was sufficiently depleted, could they subdue her.

It wasn't the best time to act yet, as the Empress's power hadn't reduced enough.

Time, like water, flowed swiftly by.

Two days later, the Eternal Empress had expended much energy, mentally and physically exhausted, anxiety overwhelming her.

She initially thought she could deplete the Illusion Array quickly, yet it lasted more than two days.

During these days, she constantly rushed forward.

No matter her efforts, she remained trapped continuously in the Illusion, faced with the fragments of chairs she had broken.

Never before had she encountered such a situation, and naturally, she grew incredibly anxious.

"What to do? Am I really to be trapped here forever? I'm nearly out of Spiritual Medicine."

Clearly understanding her situation, that if she was truly trapped indefinitely in an Illusion Realm, no effort could free her.

She stopped, halting her sprinting.

She shouted loudly, "Chen Xiaoxiao, come out, I need to speak to you, what will it take for you to release me?"
