The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 862: Chapter 812: Fox King’s Illusion, Phoenix Ignites the Heavens

“The Wolf King regards me as nothing!” Wu Shijiu appeared in the void, holding a scepter forged from some unknown material, and watched coldly.

As a guardian of Pei Xuanjing, his presence here meant that he would not stand idly by as the Demon Race’s strongest warriors appeared, intending to block Pei Xuanjing’s path.

With the arrival of Wu Shijiu, Wang Boan and Zhu Houji also appeared, the three of them standing against the three strongest warriors of the Demon Race, with no intention of retreating.

“Pei Xuanjing, are these your guardians? A newly ascended Supreme Strong, and two humans who aren’t even at the level of the Supreme Strong?” the Wolf King’s gaze swept over the trio, speaking with some disdain.

Indeed, each of these three was strong in their own right, but to a Supreme Strong, they were merely respectable. Among the trio, only Wu Shijiu was a newly promoted Supreme Strong, while the other two, despite having formidable power and the so-called strength to rival a Supreme Strong, could not defeat a Supreme Strong.

The Wolf King and the other two Supreme Strongs of the Demon Race were considered exceptional, even within the realm of the strongest, which is why they had come together to stop Pei Xuanjing.

“Fox King, you deal with them. The Fire Phoenix King and I will take on this Immortal Lord Longevity,” the Wolf King spoke to another of the Demon Race’s Supreme Strong standing beside him.

The Wolf King, the Fox King, and the Fire Phoenix King were the Supreme Strongs sent by the Lion Emperor of the Demon Race to deal with Pei Xuanjing. Among them, the Wolf King was the strongest, followed by the Fire Phoenix King, with the Fox King being the weakest.

However, although the Fox King was not skilled in the art of slaughter, his mastery of illusionary Divine Abilities was exquisitely unparalleled, requiring even Supreme Strongs of the same realm to be wary, lest they be ensnared within it unwittingly.

Originally, their plan was to use the Fox King’s illusions as a support to trap Pei Xuanjing, then have the Wolf King and the Fire Phoenix King attack and subdue him.

However, the appearance of Wu Shijiu and the other two disrupted their plan. Despite the Wolf King’s disdainful words, the fact remained that a Supreme Strong, Wu Shijiu, was present. There was also Zhu Houji, the Lord of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty who, although not yet in the Strongest Realm, was known to all for wielding the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, a Human Path Treasure, and could be regarded as a Supreme Strong.

The other human, Wang Boan, whom the Wolf King did not recognize, stood shoulder to shoulder with the other two, meaning he must at least possess the power of a Supreme Strong.

Although if the Wolf King and his comrades attacked at once, they were confident they could suppress these three, the unclear situation at the moment, with no one certain how far Pei Xuanjing’s transformation had progressed, meant that they could not afford to continue tangling with these three.

Therefore, the Wolf King made a decisive decision to let the Fox King entrap the three to avoid disrupting their plans. After they joined forces against Pei Xuanjing, they would finish off the three. With the Fox King’s strength, once his illusions were cast, even if he were to trap these three, he would still have ample strength to assist them.

“Good!”

The Fox King hesitated not, nor did he waste words. Upon hearing the Wolf King’s command, he immediately took decisive action.

Boom!

A powerful aura erupted from the Fox King, and a mesmerizing fragrance spread out, instantly filling the heavens and rushing toward Wu Shijiu and the others, like a mighty river flooding over them.

“Hmph!”

Wu Shijiu snorted coldly, raised the scepter in his hand, and swung it forth, chanting incantations as runes coalesced, isolating the fragrant aroma.

“How dare you!”

Zhu Houji’s eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness, his body radiating a divine light that erupted with a terrifying aura, dispersing the scent.

Wang Boan, seeing the Fox King make a move, frowned and remained silent, but the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around him converged to block the fragrance.

However, as a Supreme Strong, it wouldn’t be so easy to counter the illusion techniques that appeared seemingly out of nowhere. If it were that easy to resist, the Fox King would not hold the position he did today, nor would he have been sent to prevent Pei Xuanjing from achieving enlightenment.

Even though these three had blocked, isolated, and scattered the scent, they could not completely eradicate it. In the next moment, they found themselves as if transported to a new place, a different Heaven and Earth.

“The fragrance was just a diversion; illusion techniques are not so simple. Indeed, there is not one Supreme Strong that is simple, it seems. By that reasoning, my suppression of Taixu Venerable back then was truly fortunate,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself as he observed everything.

Supreme Strong, each one of them has carved their own path, reaching a peak in their respective fields and possessing divine abilities that can shake Heaven and Earth.

The present Fox King, although not the strongest among the Demon Race’s Fox Clan, had reached the Strongest Realm, cultivating the Fox Clan’s art of illusion to an unfathomable level. Even Pei Xuanjing could only vaguely spot a few flaws at the moment.

The longer Pei Xuanjing immersed himself in the Strongest Realm, the clearer he understood how terrifying a Spiritual Realm Level Nine Strongest could be. He also realized how fortunate he was to have suppressed Taixu Venerable back when he was in the Eight-Layer Spirit Realm.

If it were not for the fact that Heaven and Earth had not yet recovered to their peak state at that time, imposing great limitations on the Supreme Strong, and because he had just succeeded in creating Longevity World, making significant contributions to Heaven and Earth, earning the empowerment of the profound Will of the Heaven and Earth, suppressing Taixu Venerable would have been extremely difficult.

Seeing the Fox King trap Wu Shijiu and the other two, Pei Xuanjing was not worried. After all, although they were trapped, it would be impossible for the Fox King to slay the three without the Wolf King and Fire Phoenix King taking action.

After all, even if Wu Shijiu had just broken through, he was undoubtedly a Supreme Strong. Coupled with Zhu Houji and Wang Boan, who were also no pushovers, it would be somewhat unimaginable for the Fox King to possess the power to easily suppress these three. Otherwise, his status would be different, and within the Demon Race, he would not be struggling to secure even the leadership of the Fox Clan.

“Fortunately, I never expected my Obstruction Tribulation to be easily overcome. Even without the help of these three, I have enough confidence,” a cold light flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s profound eyes.

Wu Shijiu and the others coming to protect him had not been part of Pei Xuanjing’s plan. Or rather, when Pei Xuanjing chose to become a Dao-Certifying True Immortal, he did not intend to rely on anyone. He had already prepared himself, foreseeing any unforeseen contingencies.

Therefore, even with the three entangled by the Fox King, Pei Xuanjing was still unworried, his calm face adorned with a faint smile, seemingly indifferent to everything that had just happened.

However calm Pei Xuanjing appeared, the Wolf King and Fire Phoenix King would not take him lightly. With no other interference, these two Demon Race Supreme Strong decisively acted against Pei Xuanjing without the slightest hesitation.
