In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Chapter 634 Exposed

Illusion Mirror!

Lu Yuan was startled.

Knowing the extraordinary power of this magic weapon, Lu Yuan dared not be careless. Almost instantly, he summoned his most powerful defensive magic weapon, the Myriad Laws Plate, and poured most of his magic power into it.

The Myriad Laws Disc shone brightly, and dozens of restrictions surged forth from within, forming defensive arrays that protected Lu Yuan.

But before Lu Yuan could catch his breath, a flash of light appeared from another direction, and several magical artifacts of varying powers suddenly flew out, joining forces with the golden beam of light in the Illusion Mirror to attack!

"It's you!" Lu Yuan coldly swept his gaze over, and saw that behind the several demonic artifacts were Wen Qizi and his two companions!

boom!

Golden and white light intertwined, mixed with the continuous bombardment from the magical weapons of Wen Qizi and the other two.

Under such power, the dozens of restrictions released by the Myriad Laws Disc began to collapse and disintegrate layer by layer.

Seeing the critical situation, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and forcibly channeled all the remaining spiritual power in his body into the Myriad Laws Disc.

The runes in the plate swirled wildly, and the restrictions within surged forth again, actively meeting the golden beams of light before suddenly exploding.

A powerful shockwave raged in all directions, finally shattering the golden beam of the Illusion Mirror and the magical weapon attacks of Wen Qizi and the others.

However, Lu Yuan was also in bad shape. After repeatedly using a large amount of magic power, he could no longer maintain his Azure Phoenix demon form and reverted to his original appearance.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Lu Yuan quickly poured his main body's magical power back into the Myriad Laws Disk, releasing the restrictions within and protecting himself once again.

Besides the threat of the Illusionary Mirror, a large number of mid-level moths had caught up from behind and were baring their fangs and claws as they swarmed towards him, forcing him to temporarily abandon his idea of ​​using the Myriad Laws Disc to fight the enemy.

"He's completely unharmed!"

On the other side, Wen Qizi and his two companions, who had joined up with Deputy Commander Shui, were astonished and resentful to see that Lu Yuan had survived the double attack.

"Perhaps he's just putting on a brave face. With the power of the Water Vice Commander's Illusionary Mirror, plus the assistance of the three of us, even the Demon Lord would have a hard time surviving this calamity, right?" Chi Huo said in surprise.

"Whether it is or not, we'll find out by trying again!" Madam Menghua gritted her teeth, about to unleash her demonic weapon once more.

"Wait!" Deputy Commander Shui narrowed his eyes, and the Illusionary Mirror in his hand trembled slightly. Suddenly, mysterious runes appeared on the mirror's surface, which then transformed into a pale golden shield, protecting the four of them.

Lu Yuan frowned upon seeing this, wondering why they had stopped.

But soon, Lu Yuan discovered that the mid-level moths that should have also pounced on the four deputy commanders seemed to have lost sight of them. After circling around their light shield once, they turned around and surrounded him.

"The Illusion Mirror can conceal our presence, making it impossible for the moths to detect our existence, but this depends on whether we can move freely and cast spells."

Furthermore, we are still some distance from the main army, so we must conserve some strength for our return.

"How long can he hold out in this swarm of insects? We only need to be wary of him having other ways to escape the swarm!" Deputy Commander Shui said coldly, his gaze fixed on Lu Yuan, who was surrounded by layers of moths.

Wen Qizi and the other two exchanged glances and nodded to each other, waiting for the moment when Lu Yuan would be exhausted.

As all the mid-level moths swarmed in, Lu Yuan's pressure increased sharply.

Although the surrounding restrictions could kill some of the moths, they were also quickly depleted. He could only continuously inject mana into the Myriad Laws Plate to replenish the depleted mana.

Of course, Lu Yuan also knew that continuing like this would only waste his magic power. Even though he had several other demon bodies to replenish his power, he could not withstand such endless consumption.

Even if he managed to break through the swarm's encirclement at the cost of some of his own energy, the four deputy commanders of the Water Realm were still watching him closely.

"It seems there's only one way!" Lu Yuan murmured, and then his whole body crackled and popped.

The three deputy commanders who were staring intently at Lu Yuan all tensed up upon seeing this, but soon their faces showed expressions of horror.

After a surge of demonic energy erupted from Lu Yuan's body, he transformed into a monstrous, crimson insect, only about ten feet in size and resembling a raging fireball. Then, he suddenly flapped his wings and flew out of the Myriad Laws Plate's restriction, merging into the swarm of insects. The mid-level moths no longer showed any intention to attack.

"what is this?"

"Both borer!"

Wen Qizi and the other two exclaimed in surprise!

"No, it's a high-level moth!"

The deputy commander, whose knowledge far surpassed that of Wen Qizi and the other two, instantly recognized the identity of the crimson worm and asked with a grim expression, "Were you corrupted and assimilated by the embers, or were you never a member of my Holy Clan to begin with!"

However, the crimson moth that Lu Yuan had transformed into did not respond. After retrieving the Myriad Laws Disc, a fierce glint flashed in its emerald green eyes. Immediately, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged violently, even drawing in the天地元气 from afar to converge frantically in this direction.

Seeing that it was about time, Lu Yuan immediately unleashed the Zhenyuan Mace.

After absorbing enough of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Zhenyuan Mace swelled up in the wind, transforming into a size of tens of feet, and smashed down with tremendous force towards the pale golden shield where the four deputy commanders of the Water Sect were located!

"Not good! Quickly join forces with me to activate the magic power sealed within the Illusion Mirror!" Sensing the terrifying power of the Zhenyuan Mace, Deputy Commander Shui exclaimed in alarm to Wen Qizi and the other two.

Wen Qizi and the other two responded hastily, each frantically pouring their magical power into the Illusion Mirror.

The mirror's light surged, and the pale golden shield rapidly expanded and thickened, attempting to withstand this devastating attack.

With a deafening roar, the Zhenyuan Mace slammed heavily onto the protective shield.

Both being imitations of the Xuan Tian Treasure, the two collided, unleashing a blinding light and a deafening roar. The surrounding void trembled and distorted, while the energy aftershocks swept outwards like a surging tide, annihilating all the moths within hundreds of feet into nothingness.

Even so, the protective shield formed by the Illusionary Mirror was not broken; instead, the Zhenyuan Mace was deflected back.

"You surnamed Lu, my Illusionary Heaven Mirror contains magic power comparable to that of a Demon Lord. You, a mere Demon Sect member, are delusional to think you can break it!" Deputy Commander Shui said coldly.

“That’s right, Commander Lu, don’t forget we’re still trapped in the swarm of insects. I don’t believe you can keep this up forever. Since neither side can defeat the other, why not call it a day? We swear by our inner demons that we will never tell anyone about what happened today!” Wen Qizi spoke up at this moment, proposing a peace treaty.

As a fellow controller of the Illusionary Mirror, he knew very well that after the previous sneak attack on Lu Yuan and the hard-won blow from the Zhenyuan Mace, the magic power sealed within the Illusionary Mirror was now less than one-tenth of its original strength, and the Deputy Commander Shui's words were nothing but bluff.

However, the crimson moth that Lu Yuan had transformed into still did not respond, but instead began to frantically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the Zhenyuan Mace once again.
