”Illusion!”

Qutaybah instantly understood what had happened, his face twisting into a grimace. At his level of cultivation, ordinary illusions were just tricks that were incapable of fooling his eyes, let alone deceiving him. But Wang Chong's illusions were a mixture of truth and fiction, and even his perception had been fooled. These were clearly not ordinary illusions.

Boom!

With no time to think, Qutaybah unleashed a destructive explosion of golden light from his back, which transformed into an enormous shard of armor to protect him.

Boom! Wang Chong's Wootz Steel sword was capable of slicing through finely-tempered steel like mud, but it wasn't able to advance a single inch through this armor formed from Subtle energy.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In a set of consecutive explosions, not only did Wang Chong fail to injure Qutaybah, but he was also pushed back several dozen steps by explosive shockwaves.

”Chong-er, be careful! He's getting a better understanding of the Subtle realm's energy. If he's given more time, he'll be impossible to fight against. Think about the origin of energy that your master spoke with you about. He's only just comprehended the Subtle realm's energy and can't comprehend the world of energy. Think of a way to cut off his connection to the source.”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man's came out of the distance. His eyes were cold, his expression grim.

Although his severe injuries prevented him from interfering in Wang Chong's battle with Qutaybah, the Demonic Emperor Old Man had remained in reserve, staring at the pair and taking in every detail. With his astonishing insight, knowledge, and rich experience, he was very quickly able to understand the key to dealing with Qutaybah.

Buzz!

An idea suddenly occurred to Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man's words setting off countless ripples in his mind. His master was correct. Qutaybah had a major weakness in that he had yet to enter the world of energy.

The world of energy was not something that everyone could see, but a unique skill of his master. Through the unique and legendary Myriad Spirit Sea Art, his master had comprehended the origin of energy on his own and then passed his teachings to the Wushang Village Chief and Wang Chong. This was the only way the two of them had been able to enter that world.

But Qutaybah had never cultivated the Myriad Spirit Sea Art, so he naturally had no way of entering the world of energy. This also meant…

There was an explosion of sparks in Wang Chong's mind, and he immediately had an idea. Boom! He entered the world of energy.

His eyes were greeted by a world of endless energy, but it was a different world from the one he had seen before. All of the energy in this world was in a frenzied state. This battle had completely altered the distribution of Origin Energy in this region. With a rough glance, Wang Chong could see countless whirlpools of energy scattered across the battlefield, of varying size, color, and intensity.

The generals of the various armies!

Wang Chong immediately understood what they were. Everyone was extremely exhausted, and none of them had the strength to participate in this battle between him and Qutaybah, so they were all taking this time to absorb Origin Energy and recover their strength. This was so that when the battle between him and Qutaybah was over, they could immediately launch into a fierce assault.

”And this should be Qutaybah.”

Wang Chong's gaze quickly moved away from these generals to the largest vortex of energy.

This vortex of energy was unimaginably large, its size and ferocity enough to make all the other generals appear insignificant.

And if one looked carefully, it was like a black hole, a massive whirlpool devouring all the energy around it. It appeared to be extremely chaotic and disordered, absorbing energy with no rhyme or reason, with some balls of energy crashing into and extinguishing each other as they were pulled in. Even an ordinary martial artist would be able to tell that this massive energy vortex was extremely unstable and liable to collapse at any moment.

His injuries were far more serious than he let on.

Wang Chong now understood everything. Qutaybah might have been able to conceal this fact from them, but he could not hide his energy.

And from the disorder of this energy, Qutaybah was in a far more calamitous state than his actions had indicated.

But even so, Qutaybah was still far from a state of collapse. In the center of the massive black hole, Wang Chong spotted a stream of golden energy, tough and tenacious as it poured down from the highest point of the world of energy into the vortex.

This stream of energy had only the thickness of a single chopstick, but its power was only increasing. Wang Chong followed the stream of golden energy up to the deepest depths of the world of energy. Several balls of light larger than the sun and dozens of times more dazzling floated high above. This was where Qutaybah was drawing his energy from.
