After the Black Scorpion King and his subordinates entered the illusionary array, Shen Xiang controlled the formation to release various illusions, separating them all. He made sure that they couldn't see each other's evil demons and placed them in a jail-like environment, guiding them to separate paths. This way, Shen Xiang didn't have to worry about them uniting and breaking the formation.
Hidden in the illusionary array, Shen Xiang held the Soul Suppressing Treasure Mirror to kill those scattered evil demons one by one, taking out their demon hearts. He had done this many times before, becoming very skilled at it, and soon he had gathered twenty demon hearts.
Now, only the Black Scorpion King remained in that beautiful valley. He was confused and even attacked his surroundings, his strength being very strong. Shen Xiang felt the massive aura from afar, but since all those forces were neutralized by the formation, his attacks had little impact.
The Black Scorpion King was deep in a valley that seemed to be beautiful, but he had grown tired of the dark abyss-like environment from his previous stay. Now that he was in this place, although he felt happy, he remained vigilant because his twenty subordinates who had accompanied him were suddenly gone.
Being cautious, the Black Scorpion King walked through the valley, but there was no actual valley; it was all a creation of Shen Xiang's imagination. Using the formation, he had fed these illusions into his mind.
“This fellow is hard to handle, I guess I have to activate the attacking array inside this formation,” Shen Xiang planned to kill the Black Scorpion King again, as his illusionary formation was almost out of energy.
When he set up the formation, those spirit patterns contained an attacking array that gathered energy according to his mental control. Through the spirit patterns, a terrifying force was formed as the energy started to accumulate.
An explosion echoed, a bolt of lightning flashed across the dark forest and struck the Black Scorpion King. The Black Scorpion King roared, at the same time, Shen Xiang used his Soul Suppressing Treasure Mirror to release demon spirits' most feared suppression energy against him.
The suppression energy formed a golden beam that shone on the Black Scorpion King's head, only to hear his sharp and painful cries. Unlike before, he wasn't instantly melted by the suppression energy but was slowly being dissolved.
The Black Scorpion King's strength and physical body were very strong, so this time with the Soul Suppressing Treasure Mirror, Shen Xiang did not immediately melt his head.
However, the Black Scorpion King couldn't hold on for long and his head was completely corroded by that mysterious force from the suppression energy.
Shen Xiang confirmed the death of the Black Scorpion King before quickly moving over, reaching out to grab his chest. To ensure he grabbed the Black Scorpion King's demon heart in an instant, Shen Xiang used all his suppression energy and released a tiny dragon force to mix with it, making that single claw stronger.
“Sniff,” Shen Xiang's hand pierced the Black Scorpion King's sturdy chest, grabbing his demon heart and pulling it out.
The Black Scorpion King's demon heart was as big as a normal one, but it shone brightly and emitted dazzling green light, making it feel like holding a small green sun.
“What huge gains! There's still plenty of energy in the illusionary formation, I just need one more big guy!” Shen Xiang sighed with joy, returning to Wolf Slave's side as he continued waiting. He could leave now that only one day was left.
Wolf Slave was shocked by Shen Xiang's quick victory over the Black Scorpion King and his powerful demon group. He felt smart for once, considering how lucky he was, as Shen Xiang could have taken his demon heart anytime.
Shen Xiang sat tightly, using his spiritual consciousness to sense the surroundings and wait for his prey. His Beast Soul Pill had been there for so long without being eaten, but it allowed him to gather many "prey."
After half a day, Shen Xiang suddenly opened his eyes: "They're coming!"
Although disappointed, he found that the prey arriving wasn't a big fish but just another powerful demon, an elite of their tribe. If it was the king-level demons, they might have brought a group with them and their demon hearts were usually good.
“It's a giant fish! Haha, it’s actually a human,” Long Xueyi laughed.
Shen Xiang was shocked. He didn't sense anyone nearby, and through a small opening, he quickly saw a tall and lean man in black clothes using very flexible movements to track down a demon with sharp tusks, similar to wild boar in appearance but with its body and teeth.
“This is Gong Sun Jie! This guy is the second disciple of King Sovereign!”
Shen Xiang inwardly exclaimed. This was a large catch, making his heart pound with excitement. Until now, he had been waiting for King Sovereign's disciple to come but had lost hope before this Gong Sun Jie selflessly fell into his trap.
Gong Sun Jie had been following the demon all the way here because he suspected that these demons were guarding treasures. He had tracked several before, only to find them inside the tribe's area but no treasure was found. Though his attempts didn't pay off, he was able to have a good kill and satisfy himself.
At this moment, Gong Sun Jie didn't know there was an illusionary array ahead of him. His stealth skills were indeed very high, but without Long Xueyi's reminder, Shen Xiang would have never seen him.
Amidst the darkness, wearing black clothes to blend in with the dark leaves, Gong Sun Jie jumped silently like a misty cloud. The wild boar demon had entered the illusionary array, but Shen Xiang hadn't activated it yet. He waited for Gong Sun Jie to enter before doing so, and this time he wouldn't have to fight Wan Xuan like last time. He would take down King Sovereign's disciple easily because of the illusionary array.
When Gong Sun Jie moved around 100 steps into the formation, he suddenly saw himself in a beautiful ancient landscape, seeing the same things as what the Black Scorpion King saw. However, he only saw a golden beam piercing him and his demon heart being taken away.
“This… This is an illusionary array! Who.. who did this I'm the second disciple of King Sovereign, Gong Sun Jie!” Gong Sun Jie quickly realized it was an illusionary array and roared.
Initially proud, Shen Xiang's brow furrowed as he silently cursed himself. The illusionary array's energy was just running out.
Before Gong Sun Jie could finish his question, the beautiful valley turned blurry and he saw black trees again.
“Shen Xiang!” Gong Sun Jie saw Shen Xiang's figure from afar and recognized him instantly, making him even more astonished. He never thought that Shen Xiang could create such a powerful illusionary array alone and seeing his back soaked in cold sweat from being reminded by him.
Although he was furious, Gong Sun Jie still asked, "Shen Xiang, where's that pig That was my prey!atterns first before covering them with materials…There were countless fine spiritual patterns on the Green Dragon Slashing Demon Saber, like a small dot containing an entire pattern array. Those spir...
