Wang Chong could sense that the barrage of attacks was as normal as breathing for the High Priest, a thought which terrified him.
”You truly deserve the title of Child of Destruction. Even under this sort of assault, you are able to instantly regather your mind again and again. In this aspect alone, few Psychic Energy practitioners over the last several thousand years can compare to you.”
The High Priest spoke in a calm and unruffled tone, but the barrages of lightning and the attacks from the idols only intensified.
Rumble! Wang Chong sensed something and looked up. Several thousand kilometers above, a massive dragon head manifested, and then the body, claws, tail, scales, and finally, fierce flames around its body.
In the blink of an eye, a massive black dragon with a savage visage had appeared. And then a second, a third, a fourth…
In less time than a breath, the sky was packed with hundreds of thousands of black dragons.
Roooar!
With a mighty roar, the cloud of black dragons spewed black flames at Wang Chong from the high heavens.
Boom! A massive black flame exploded in the air, destroying Wang Chong's mental body several times, and this was only the beginning.
Black phoenixes manifested in tens of thousands, followed by countless vicious beasts of bizarre form. And in the black sea, tens of thousands of weapons of all kinds appeared and hurtled toward Wang Chong.
The High Priest had strengthened the assault against Wang Chong, and the number of attacks seemed to only be rising.
It's no good! If this continues, my defeat is certain! I might even die here!
Wang Chong's heart was heavy. He had always believed that he was about equal with the High Priest when it came to Psychic Energy strength, but it was now apparent that this was far from the case. Moreover, the High Priest's Psychic Energy was unique in that each attack could inflict some degree of actual harm.
With a thought from Wang Chong, a blazing light brimming with endless heat erupted from Wang Chong's body.
Supreme Art, Blazing Sun!
Wang Chong rapidly formed a massive sun that proceeded to almost instantly explode. The immense power of this sun fiercely clashed against the divine lightning.
Explosions rippled through the Forbidden Art Sea.
”It's useless. In the Forbidden Art Sea, everything will be absorbed and transformed into my power. Cease your pointless struggle,” the High Priest casually said. Just as he had predicted, the massive sun Wang Chong had created soon disappeared.
That powerful attack had done no damage to this world.
And after a brief pause, the lightning, the dragons, phoenixes, weapons, and giant idols restarted their fierce assaults.
Wang Chong's mental body was pulverized and torn to shreds…
Everything was repeating!
And just as the High Priest had said, after this attack, Wang Chong's Psychic Energy immediately noticed that the Forbidden Art Sea had gotten slightly stronger.
No good! I can't beat him!
As the second barrage of lightning came down, Wang Chong closed his eyes. Borrowing this brief moment between 'life' and 'death', he sent countless thoughts through his mind.
Wang Chong was no weakling, and he had already learned all of the Psychic Energy techniques in Masil's mind and refined them to be even more powerful. In terms of ability, Masil would have no longer been able to defeat him.
Alas, Wang Chong had encountered the High Priest, whose attainments in the mental domain were far greater.
The gap is too great! If I can't break his Forbidden Art Sea, I'll only be able to hold on for fifteen minutes at most. If I lose all my Psychic Energy, I'll die here! Wang Chong said to himself.
Although his mind was imprisoned, he still had his Subtle realm Psychic Energy. He could sense that the Forbidden Art Sea truly was as the High Priest described, created from Psychic Energy arts. Each Psychic Energy art was a ball of light.
And all of them together had created a sea of light!
The High Priest's store of knowledge had reached an unimaginable level, over ten thousand times as many techniques as Masil's. If he could obtain the Forbidden Art Sea and the knowledge within, Wang Chong's mastery of the mental domain was certain to soar.
This was an unimaginable fortune.
