In the end times, many children bring more blessings. I pick up a goddess every day.

The mist here isn't just ordinary water vapor... it's a "phantom mist" that can confuse the mind... Once a monk inhales it... they'll be trapped in an endless illusion... consumed by their inner desires and fears...

As soon as Liu Yang stepped into the forest... the surrounding fog instantly surged up... trying to invade his sea of ​​consciousness...

But Liu Yang's mental power had already reached a state of utter perfection... As soon as the phantom mist approached... it was blocked by his mental barrier...

"Future Deduction..."

Liu Yang closed his eyes... Countless images flashed through his mind...

This was one of his most powerful abilities... the ability to deduce the myriad possibilities of the future... to foresee danger in advance... In his deductions... this forest was not only filled with phantom fog... but also concealed countless deadly traps... and a guardian beast, a "Phantom Mist Fox," whose cultivation had reached the Divine Transformation stage...

This phantom fox is skilled at creating illusions... It's incredibly fast... and can even become invisible in the fog... It's incredibly difficult to deal with... Su Qingyao went to great lengths to stop it...

"Found it..."

Liu Yang opened his eyes... a knowing smile appeared on his lips...

He walked casually into the depths of the forest... Every step he took was precise, avoiding the traps hidden underground... When he reached a huge ancient tree... he suddenly stopped...

"Come out... aren't you tired of hiding?"

Liu Yang's voice echoed in the forest...

As soon as he finished speaking... a white figure emerged from the trunk of the ancient tree... It was a snow-white fox... with nine furry tails... and its eyes were an eerie purple... It was the Phantom Mist Fox...

"Human... you're quite good... you can actually see through my illusion..." The Phantom Fox's voice was clear and pleasant... but with a hint of coldness... "It's a pity... you still can't escape..."

After saying that... it swung its nine tails simultaneously... countless colorful dots of light scattered from the tips of its tails... forming a huge illusory cage... trapping Liu Yang in the middle...

In this dreamlike world... countless negative emotions deep within Liu Yang's heart were magnified - failure, loneliness, despair... one devastating image after another continuously assaulted his mind...

But Liu Yang's eyes remained firm...without wavering...

"Future deduction tells me... although your illusion is powerful... it has a fatal weakness..." Liu Yang said calmly... "That is... your true body must remain at the core of the illusion... in order to maintain its stability..."

Phantom Fox's expression changed slightly: "How did you know?"

"Because... I've seen your future..."

Liu Yang smiled slightly... and disappeared again...

"Teleport..."

The next second... he appeared at the core of the illusion—behind the Phantom Mist Fox...

The Phantom Fox was horrified... and tried to turn around and fight back... but found that its body was unable to move... It looked down... and saw that its four legs were frozen to the ground by a thick layer of ice...

"Eternal Freeze... can't just freeze monsters..." Liu Yang's voice rang in its ears...

The eyes of the Misty Fox were filled with resentment and fear... It had never imagined... that its illusions and speed, of which it was so proud, would be so vulnerable in the face of the opponent's absolute strength...

Liu Yang didn't waste any more words... He gathered a powerful force in his right hand... and slapped the Misty Fox on the head...

"puff--"

The Phantom Mist Fox spat out a mouthful of blood... its body collapsed limply... its lifeless breath... and with its death... the surrounding illusion and mist instantly dissipated without a trace...

At the end of the forest... the last teleportation array appeared...

Liu Yang took a deep breath and walked in. He knew that this should be the last level of the 98th floor.

The scene before my eyes changed again...

This was a massive palace... In the very center... a crystal emitting a rainbow of light hovered... It looked mysterious... And beside the crystal... stood a woman in a long white dress...

The woman was stunningly beautiful...with a cool and detached aura...it was none other than the eldest daughter of the Su family—Su Qingyao...

Beside her... stood two powerful old men... evidently the Su family's retainers... their cultivation had reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage...

"Liu Yang... you really have some skills... you can actually get here..." Su Qingyao looked at Liu Yang... her eyes were cold... her tone was full of hatred... "But... this is your end..."

Liu Yang ignored Su Qingyao...his eyes fell on the colorful crystal...He could sense...an extremely powerful and unique energy contained within it...more extraordinary than any magic weapon he had ever seen...

"Is that the core of this layer?" Liu Yang asked...

"That's right..." Su Qingyao nodded... "This is the 'Seven-Colored Fantasy Crystal' that I spent a huge amount of money to find... It can amplify the spiritual power of cultivators... and it can also absorb the surrounding energy for defense... Today... I will use it... and the two senior priests... together to keep you here!"

"Do it!"

Following Su Qingyao's command... the two white-haired elders attacked simultaneously...

The old man on the left held a long sword... a blazing flame burning on the blade... and slashed at Liu Yang... Wherever the flames passed... the air was distorted by the burning... The old man on the right formed seals with his hands... and summoned a huge ochre dragon... It opened its bloody mouth... and devoured Liu Yang...

The combined power of two great Divine Transformation cultivators... was immense... the entire palace was trembling violently...

But Liu Yang remained calm...

"Future Deduction..."

He instantly deduced countless ways to deal with it... and finally chose the best one...

"Teleport..."

Liu Yang's figure disappeared again... avoiding the attacks of the two great priests... at the same time... he formed seals with his hands... and whispered, "Eternal Freeze!"

An extreme chill instantly spread... sweeping towards the two priests and Su Qingyao...

"Hmph... a mere trifle!" The fire-attributed priest on the left snorted coldly... his spiritual energy surged... the flames grew even more vigorous... attempting to resist the cold... the earth-attributed priest on the right summoned a massive earth wall... protecting himself and Su Qingyao behind it...

However... Liu Yang's eternal freezing is not ordinary cold...

The chill ignored the burning flames... and penetrated the defensive earthen wall... and instantly spread to the two priests...

"what?!"

The two priests' expressions changed drastically... They felt their spiritual energy begin to stagnate... Their bodies gradually became stiff...

At this moment... Liu Yang teleported again... and appeared next to the colorful phantom crystal... He stretched out his right hand... and wanted to take the phantom crystal away...

"Don't even think about it!" Su Qingyao was shocked... She hadn't expected Liu Yang to ignore the two priests... and attack the Phantom Crystal directly... She immediately mobilized her spiritual power... trying to control the Phantom Crystal to launch an attack...

But just as her spiritual power touched the phantom crystal...something strange happened!

The colorful phantom crystal suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful light... Within that light... countless illusory dream fragments appeared - laughter and joy... sorrow and joy... cultivation and the pursuit of enlightenment... conquests of the world... These fragments flooded into the minds of everyone present like a tide...

"This is..." Su Qingyao and the two priests were stunned... They had never seen the Seven-Colored Phantom Crystal appear in this state...

Liu Yang was also slightly startled... but his mental strength was strong... and he quickly came back to his senses from the dream fragment... He could feel... that the colorful phantom crystal seemed to resonate with his soul...

"Future Deduction..."

Liu Yang immediately began to deduce... and soon understood the reason...

This colorful phantom crystal is no ordinary magical weapon... Its true name is "Dream Core"... A treasure condensed from the dreams of countless beings... It allows one to enter the dreams of others... and can also transform dreams into reality... And Liu Yang's "future prediction" ability... is essentially a "dream" prediction of future possibilities... There is a strange connection between the two...

It is precisely because of this connection... that the Dream Core resonates with Liu Yang... and erupts into such a strange phenomenon...

"So that's how it is..." Liu Yang suddenly realized... "Su Qingyao... you probably won't know until you die... that this 'gift' you prepared for me... is actually a treasure specially tailored for me, right?"

Su Qingyao hadn't fully woken up from her dream yet... Hearing Liu Yang's words... her heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness...

At this moment... the Dream Core suddenly transformed into a stream of colorful light... flew towards Liu Yang... and instantly merged into his body...

A huge and gentle energy instantly filled Liu Yang's limbs and bones... His cultivation was actually improving at a speed visible to the naked eye - from the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage... all the way to the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage... and was even steadily improving!

At the same time... his ability to "predict the future" has also been greatly enhanced... the scope of the predictions has become wider... the clarity has become higher... he can even briefly see some extremely distant future fragments...

"Do not--!"

Su Qingyao finally reacted... She watched Liu Yang's cultivation level soar... Her eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness... She tried her best to stop Liu Yang... but ended up giving him a great opportunity!

The two priests were completely panicked... They couldn't even move now... let alone stop Liu Yang...

Liu Yang felt the surging power within him... and the incredibly clear vision of the future unfolding in his mind... A confident smile appeared on his lips...

He glanced at Su Qingyao and the two priests... and didn't attack again... To him... Su Qingyao was no longer worthy of being his opponent...

"Su Qingyao...thank you for your 'gift'..." Liu Yang's voice was a little playful... "The top floor of the Tower of Babel...I'll go check it out for you..."

After saying this... his figure transformed into a streak of light... and flew towards the exit at the top of the palace... and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight...

Only Su Qingyao and the two priests were left... in the empty palace... staring at each other... with faces filled with despair...
