Chapter 176, Fourth Level
"Illusionists are terrifying, but also incredibly weak," Suk exclaimed as he flew down.
He is strong if he can influence the enemy, and weak if he cannot, exhibiting extreme polarization.
Of course, truly terrifying illusionists are still people who are extremely wary of them.
Previously, the mysterious man in black used "mental illusion" against Suk in an attempt to influence and kill him, and the result was predictable.
Then, he cast a second illusion spell that combined laws and domains, which directly affected the surrounding environment.
At this point, it depends on one's level of understanding and how one responds.
Those with lower spiritual attainment cannot see through illusions and can only be led by the nose.
Suk had already fully comprehended the first "River Fish Picture" and perfectly understood the nine essences of time. He could easily pass through the third level. With such a high level of skill, the illusion of the first level naturally had little effect on him and was directly seen through. He killed the mysterious figure with a single strike.
Because wind, lightning, light, and the origin of time are in harmony, the previous slash that distorted and blurred the light and seemed to disrupt time was a movement and sword technique formed by Su Ke combining the laws of light and time. The sword technique is called "Time," and the trajectory of the sword light becomes strange and unpredictable, leaving the mysterious figure no time to dodge.
The mysterious figure fell halfway down and turned into black liquid, merging into the huge cloud.
The white mist in front of us dissipated, revealing a second-level sky bridge extending upwards.
Suk looked over and thought, "Choosing the Illusionist is indeed the most advantageous for me. In fact, among the three types of opponents on the Bridge to Heaven, the Illusionist is the second most difficult to deal with, after the Psychic Master."
Generally speaking, the warriors of the Heavenly Bridge are the easiest to deal with, followed by illusionists, and the most difficult are the controllers.
However, due to Suk's talent "Absolute Self," illusionists cannot directly affect his consciousness, which weakens him and makes him easier to deal with than martial artists.
Use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
Suk transformed into a streak of light, flying away like lightning. He flew swiftly across the Sky Bridge and soon reached the end of the second level.
This time, Suk chose a martial artist as his opponent on the second level.
This mysterious man, dressed in black armor and wearing a mask, wields two swords. Not only is he insane, but his greatest strength lies in his speed!
It was as if his whole body had turned into a spinning top, unleashing a fierce and relentless barrage of attacks.
But he was still killed by Suk with a single blow.
The second level is the same as the first level, with absolutely no difficulty.
At the end of the third level of the Sky Bridge. "I choose—" Suk looked at the cloud of mist in front of him, "Illusionist!" Suk's goal was to cross the Sky Bridge, and he didn't want to be careless. He could accept choosing the martial artist on the second level, but on the third level, the illusionist was the most advantageous for him.
At the end of this bridge to heaven, the enormous cloud of mist, just like the previous two levels, condensed directly into a figure in black as the black liquid flew out. This figure in black stood on a blue halo, and the only thing visible beneath the mask, his cold, eerie eyes, were locked onto Suk: "Defeat me and you can pass."
"Then I'll defeat you." Suk's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was surrounded by a hazy light that distorted his figure as he charged directly at the gatekeeper.
A fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes as he instantly unleashed a mental attack, simultaneously preparing to supplement it with a telekinetic weapon attack.
This is a common technique used by illusionists, but it is very effective.
Whoosh! An invisible mental attack instantly struck Suk's body, attempting to influence his soul and consciousness.
"Another mental illusion, but it won't work on me!" Suk's figure was as fast as lightning, unpredictable and strange. The light in the space was subtly distorted, no longer a simple light and shadow. The trajectory was as if the light was constantly refracting in front of glass mirrors. Countless irregular refractions turned into an incomprehensible movement trajectory.
"Such a strong will!" The black-clad man, who was about to unleash his psychic weapon to attack, suddenly changed his expression. He was unaware of Suk's talent and only assumed that the other party's soul will defense was strong, forcibly resisting his mental attack.
Seeing Suk rushing over, he hurriedly activated the cyan light wheel under his feet, and with a whoosh, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and retreated rapidly to dodge, while simultaneously casting other illusions.
Logically speaking, a psychic master controlling a flying psychic weapon should be faster than a martial artist.
But Suk's movements were completely beyond reason; despite deflecting multiple times, his speed actually increased!
This is the mystery of applying the law.
"Ah!" As a blurry figure appeared in front of him and a powerful pressure came crashing down on him, the man in black's expression changed drastically, and his hair stood on end.
When an illusionist is cornered by an enemy, it often means certain death.
"I won't lose to you!" The man in black still tried to resist.
With a whoosh, a stunningly beautiful slash appeared, and Suk unleashed a strike imbued with the profound meaning of time! The instant the battle blade was swung, the entire blade seemed to erupt like the sun, the blade light was simply too fast! It didn't even leave a shadow in space.
Time leaves no trace.
This is truly "invisible and without shadow".
The man in black opened his eyes wide in terror, the life in them instantly fading away.
His head was separated from his body, and his headless body fell onto the Tongtian Bridge.
"The third level isn't as difficult as I imagined. It might be related to my 'Absolute Self' talent preventing the opponent's illusionary power from being fully unleashed, but it also proves my strength." Suk silently sheathed his sword. Analyzing the essence might take a long time and require high levels of comprehension. But its power is far greater than that of merely superficially applying the laws.
However, Suk understood that even if he had grasped the mysteries of the first nine fish in "Rainy River Fish", it did not mean that he had truly grasped the entire "River Fish Painting".
In fact, the "Nine Universes Chaos Stele" was left behind by an ancient, supreme being in the universe.
That being exists, and the "River Fish Picture," one of the nine images that was engraved, could not be simple.
The nine swimming fish in the "River Fish Painting" are intertwined and connected, forming a perfect whole.
If merely comprehending the nine mysteries of time in isolation is simply using cosmic time fluctuations to speed up attacks, then the combination of the nine can already influence the surrounding time to a certain extent.
Fish swim with the current in the sea. If all nine elements can be combined, then Suk, this fish, in the sea of "cosmic time," has already pressured his opponent by influencing the seawater.
Suk stood there gazing ahead. The clouds and mist had dissipated, revealing the fourth level of the Sky Bridge, which led directly upwards.
In the distance above, one can clearly see a terrifying, knife-like gray aura enveloping the Sky Bridge.
"Every three levels of the Sky Bridge is a hurdle, and the fourth level is much more difficult than the third." Suk said calmly, then soared into the sky and disappeared into the howling gray wind above.
On the ever-peaceful and beautiful island of the Skybridge dimension, Baffin, the guardian who had always silently performed his duties, suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Suk has made it through the third level? It seems this kid is indeed quite strong. He waited thirty years to come here. Such composure, wow, it's amazing he can keep his composure." Baffin couldn't help but smile.
After a while, Baffin's expression suddenly changed again.
"What? He made it past the fourth floor too?"
The guardian, Baffin, was genuinely surprised. This young man, who had failed to cross the Skybridge the first time and remained silent for thirty years, had actually managed to cross the fourth level of the Skybridge this time.
