Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

"Come on!"

Li Chang'an didn't adopt any defensive posture; he even seemed to be welcoming the attack.

"Whoosh!!!"

A piercing sound of air being torn apart.

Golden light flashed like lightning, and the golden spear pierced through Li Chang'an's body, shooting straight into the distant annular sea, its momentum undiminished as it stabbed into the depths of the seabed.

Yet, Li Chang'an, who had taken the hit head-on, was completely unscathed. There wasn't even a tiny hole in his chest where the spear had passed through, and his clothes weren't damaged either. This was undoubtedly abnormal.

"Boom!!!"

A muffled explosion echoed from the depths of the annular sea.

After a moment, a large number of bubbles emerged from the depths.

At this time, Li Chang'an had already retracted the Azure Scale Sword and deactivated his combat state. He could sense that after that strike, the Sea Spear Douluo had almost completely depleted his soul power.

With victory decided, there was naturally no need to continue fighting.

After some time.

A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the seabed, and then the Sea Spear Douluo, who had returned to his human form, broke through the surface of the water and slowly leaped onto the Sacred Pillar Platform.

At this moment, the way he looked at Li Chang'an was filled with confusion, "How did you do it? Could it be an illusion?"

In that desperate strike just now, the Sea Spear Douluo discovered that when he struck Li Chang'an, he didn't feel like he had hit a solid object at all; it was as if he had simply pierced through air. As a result, his desperate strike completely missed, wasting all of his soul power in vain.

"It's not an illusion, just some spatial manipulation." Li Chang'an shook his head. He had just used a little spatial displacement. On the surface, it looked like the Sea Spear Douluo was attacking him, but in reality, he was attacking the space to his side.

This is only effective against single-target attacks. It wouldn't be so useful against large-scale attacks.

"Space… I see. That explains it." The Sea Spear Douluo revealed a look of understanding upon hearing this, then sighed as he looked at him, "You have passed."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The golden trident on Li Chang'an's brow shone brightly. At the same time, a magic pattern on the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar lit up, merging with the light on his golden trident brand. A notification echoed in his mind, "Sea Spear Sacred Pillar Assessment Passed."

"Thank you for the concession."

After receiving the notification, Li Chang'an politely said to him. Then he turned around, the Wings of Wind condensed into shape, and he took off into the sky, flying towards the location of the next Sacred Pillar.

Next target—Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar.

Less than an hour had passed since the challenge of the fifth trial began, most of which was spent on the road. The time spent on actual combat was not much. There was still plenty of time.

Under full-speed flight, Li Chang'an quickly arrived at the Sea within the Sea where the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar was located.

As if knowing he was coming, when Li Chang'an arrived, there were already yellow-robed and purple-robed sea soul masters waiting in the forest around the Sea within the Sea.

The Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar was different from the previous Sea Spear Sacred Pillar and Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. Although those two Sacred Pillars were different, they both had concrete forms, but the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar in front of him was extremely peculiar.

Illusory blue light and shadows floated in the center of the Sea within the Sea, and a faint light permeated the sea. Everything looked like faint smoke.

Under the influence of this blue smoke, it was impossible to see clearly the situation in the center of the Sea within the Sea, and naturally, one could not see the Sacred Pillar Platform and the specific appearance of the Sacred Pillar. The golden light that merged with other Sacred Pillars in the sky was emitted from the blue smoke.

Since even the Sacred Pillar and the Sacred Pillar Platform could not be seen, naturally, one could not see the Guardian Douluo on it.

But in Li Chang'an's view, this level was the easiest to pass. Because Sea Illusion, just hearing the name, one would know that this Sacred Pillar Guardian must be a Title Douluo in mental illusions. The attack methods used must also be related to the spirit.

And in a mental confrontation, Li Chang'an, whose mental realm has now reached the God-level, would simply crush this Title Douluo.

Because of this, after defeating the Sea Spear Douluo, he did not adjust his breath and rest, but came directly to this level. Because this level was the easiest for him.

It was seen that after Li Chang'an came here, he didn't even stop, and directly rose up and flew towards the blue smoke. He broke into the other party's domain.

As soon as he entered the smoke, he immediately discovered that the surrounding clouds and mist were mixed with fragmented mental power, trying to invade his mind and create illusions for him!

"Displaying one's slight skill before an expert!"

Li Chang'an only did one thing about this. That is, he released his powerful mental power without any scruples!

No skills or preparation were needed.

God-level mental power easily broke this illusion domain.

In just an instant, all the surrounding blue light and mist quickly disappeared, turning into transparent air. Revealing the true appearance.

When everything became clear again, Li Chang'an himself was already standing on a hexagonal platform. In the center of the platform was a tall, slender, straight hexagonal pillar about fifteen meters high. The magic patterns on it were illusory and uncertain, obviously the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar.

In front of the Sacred Pillar, stood a middle-aged man with a stunned expression. He looked about fifty years old and had a handsome appearance, but his face was very pale at this time. On his body, two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine soul rings were neatly arranged. He was wearing a black robe, and a snake-shaped light band floated around his body, obviously his martial soul, which was extremely peculiar.

At this time, the Sea Illusion Douluo was extremely surprised. He originally wanted to use his domain to make the other party fall into an illusion, but before he could do anything, the other party burst out with an extremely powerful mental power.

This power was too powerful, not only breaking the illusion, but also breaking his entire domain in one fell swoop. It had a strong mental impact on him. As a result, he, a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, couldn't recover for a while.

"How is it possible to have such a powerful mental power…" Sea Illusion Douluo felt incomprehensible. He couldn't figure out why this young man, who was only a Soul Douluo, would possess such terrifying mental power.

In his feeling, even the Great Enshrinement's mental power was far from being comparable to the person in front of him. It was as if the other party had stepped into another level. The two were not on the same level at all.

In fact, Sea Illusion Douluo is very powerful, ranking second among the Seven Sacred Pillars, and is the strongest except for Sea Dragon Douluo!

His domain illusion is very special, it can completely become a real situation, not just a bewilderment. That is to say, the attacks suffered by people who fall into the illusion are completely real, as if creating a new world.

Once lost or injured incurably in the illusion, they will die in reality. It is truly domineering.

This kind of illusion operation that turns illusion into reality, even Li Chang'an can't do it. But unfortunately, the difference in mental realm between the two is too great. The other party's illusion can't shake Li Chang'an's spirit at all, so naturally, there is no way to pull him into the illusion.

It can be said that Li Chang'an completely counters Sea Illusion Douluo!
