Vol 3 Chapter 14: Three Heads, Six Arms
Lin Jing didn’t say much, nor did he wait for Senior Sister Ning’s instructions.
In an instant, a small, white-furred, red-footed monkey appeared beside him, its aura surging with battle intent.
This action made the other disciples of the Second Team of Thousand Illusions Mountain snap their eyes open in shock!
Many of them had attempted to conjure a Zhuyan during their illusion comprehension training, but all they managed to create were empty shells—re shapes without spirit. They were completely unconvincing and utterly useless in combat.
However, what Lin Jing had manifested was completely different.
The brilliant blue eyes of his little Zhuyan seed to contain an unparalleled will for battle.
Its entire body radiated a boiling war intent, mixed with a savage aura. A terrifying, primal beastly presence surged from it—wild yet profound.
This sudden ergence of a true prehistoric beast’s aura sent a terrifying chill down the spines of the three-sect cultivators who were locked in battle.
A primal instinct scread at them—a beast was watching them.
In an instant, every one of them turned their gazes toward Lin Jing’s Zhuyan Phantom.
The mont their eyes t the phantom—their pupils shrank, their minds went blank.
“Another one!?”
“Wait a minute—sothing’s wrong with this one!!”
The Zhuyan within the trial ruins had always concealed its presence. No matter how many it had killed—cultivators or beasts alike—its aura was suppressed.
Even though the three-sect cultivators feared it, that fear never reached an extre.
After all, those who had made it this far were resilient elite disciples from their respective sects.
But now—
With the appearance of this Zhuyan Phantom exuding the full might of a beastly predator, a sensation they had never felt before crashed into their minds.
The mories of their fellow disciples’ deaths—of their pet beasts being slaughtered—surged back, as if replaying in front of their eyes.
The threat of death they had experienced countless tis before had never been as vivid as it was right now.
The battles they had fought… flashed through their minds again and again, as if forcing them to relive the mont of their own impending demise.
"No… no…!"
Just locking eyes with the little Zhuyan Phantom for a single mont was enough to make them hallucinate their own future deaths at its hands.
Their minds broke.
Their final ntal defenses collapsed.
As the Zhuyan Phantom slowly stepped toward the center of the battlefield—
Within seconds, over a hundred disciples from the Myriad Beast Sect and Flower Sect completely lost their nerve.
In a blind panic, they abandoned the trial ruins entirely, choosing to flee imdiately!
anwhile, the Thousand Illusions Mountain disciples, whom Lin Jing had not targeted, witnessed a scene of absolute horror—
Just a few steps from the Zhuyan Phantom had sent countless Foundation Establishnt cultivators into utter madness.
So scread hysterically as if they had just seen a nightmare given form.
So turned and ran without hesitation.
So froze in place, bodies stiff with terror.
So collapsed onto the ground, trembling uncontrollably—so even losing control of their bodily functions out of sheer terror.
Even though the Zhuyan’s battle aura wasn’t directed at the Thousand Illusions Mountain disciples, they still felt chills running down their spines.
"A pity… it's still just an illusion. It can only break enemies' spirits..."
"But in this case, because the three previous trials had already left such a deep impression on them, the Zhuyan’s might beca even more effective..."
"Inverse Void Art… if I can learn it soday, then simply turning illusions into reality… would be terrifying beyond imagination."
Lin Jing followed behind the Zhuyan Phantom, looking at the crumbling willpower of the two-sect disciples.
Just as expected.
And at that mont—
The three-headed, six-ard Zhuyan that had been battling the three-sect cultivators turned its gaze toward Lin Jing.
"ROAR!!!"
Already heavily injured by the three-sect disciples, the trial’s little Zhuyan charged at Lin Jing.
At the sa ti—
The Zhuyan Phantom Lin Jing had manifested surged in power!
Its battle intent exploded, reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishnt.
Its entire body was now covered in a brilliant azure spiritual aura, and it swung its fist toward the charging Zhuyan.
The disciples of Thousand Illusions Mountain watched from afar, their expressions intense.
"That… is an illusion…?"
"Wait—what did he just do?!"
What happened next shocked even the sect leaders.
"The highest form of illusion arts—infusing massive amounts of spiritual energy into an illusion, not to attack, but to turn it into a ntal entity."
"Though it’s not as complete as the Inverse Void Art’s true materialization, its power is still incredible… Who is this disciple!? He’s not just manifesting a Zhuyan Phantom—he’s applying illusion techniques at a level we’ve never seen!"
Many of the Thousand Illusions Mountain disciples didn’t recognize Lin Jing.
But a few did know about the newcor who had joined the sect less than two years ago.
Regardless of who he was—his na was now known among the elite disciples of Thousand Illusions Mountain.
anwhile, in the outside world—
A mass exodus of Myriad Beast Sect and Flower Sect disciples fled from the trial ruins, their minds completely shattered.
Their spirits were broken, their eyes filled with panic, hypersensitivity, and lingering fear.
The sect leaders of Myriad Beast Sect and Flower Sect imdiately realized sothing had gone horribly wrong.
"What happened inside!?" the Flower Sect Master demanded.
She turned to one of her disciples for answers—
But the disciple was already too far gone.
He backed away in sheer horror, trembling violently, as if the sect master herself was the terrifying Zhuyan Phantom.
"D-don’t co near …! I quit! I quit…!"
The Flower Sect Master frowned.
She waved her hand, sending a soft green light to envelop the terrified disciples, helping them regain so of their composure.
Then, she asked again.
"Lü Lian, what happened inside the ruins?"
A Core Disciple at Great Perfection of Foundation Establishnt hesitated.
Her mind had gone blank, but as the mories returned, her expression changed dramatically.
She imdiately turned to the sect master and reported:
"In the third trial, we were attacking the three-headed, six-ard Zhuyan… But then, another Zhuyan appeared!"
"That one… that Zhuyan… was different. It felt real. Like an ancient Zhuyan had been reborn. We were completely overwheld by its presence!"
Then—
Her eyes widened in shock as she realized sothing.
"No… No, wait! Sect Master! Reporting to Sect Master!"
"That wasn’t another Zhuyan. It was an illusion created by a Thousand Illusions Mountain disciple!"
"They succeeded in creating a Zhuyan Phantom with true battle presence! Just its aura alone nearly drove us insane!"
Her words left the Myriad Beast Sect’s Vice Sect Master in disbelief.
What?
A Thousand Illusions Mountain disciple actually managed to create a Zhuyan Phantom with true presence?
Impossible!
Even the Sect Master of Thousand Illusions Mountain, Huan Gongming, was stunned.
Seeing the two-sect disciples flee in terror had already made him feel sothing was off.
Now, hearing the Flower Sect disciple’s explanation—he could hardly believe his own ears.
But after a mont—
He suddenly burst into laughter.
"Who!? Who is this disciple!?"
"If they have no master, I shall take them as my direct disciple!"
The Nascent Soul Elders of Thousand Illusions Mountain were equally thrilled.
After all—
This was a Zhuyan.
Even reproducing a fraction of its presence was an astonishing feat.
anwhile—
Having effortlessly shattered the spirits of over a hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators, Lin Jing finally moved onto his real task.
He imbued his Zhuyan Phantom with a ntal entity, granting it so actual combat ability.
Then—
He delivered the final blow to the trial’s third-stage Zhuyan.
With that—
The three-headed, six-ard Zhuyan vanished.
Lin Jing received a drop of diluted Zhuyan blood, and in his mind—
A new technique appeared.
Three Heads, Six Arms!
—A technique that could be cultivated by both humans and beasts alike!
