Chapter 170 Breakthrough
"Your Highness Qing, Hong finally chose to gamble his life and go to challenge the eighteenth level of the illusion of love."

"And the Phantom King has promised him that if he succeeds in the challenge, he will never stop you in the future! And you can still be the disciple of the Phantom King! But if Hong fails in the challenge, he will be killed in real life!"

At the door of a quiet attic, two girls in green gauze were standing there, whispering to someone inside.

In the attic, there was a girl with short hair sitting there.

After hearing the words outside, the girl's face turned extremely pale, and the fingers that were gripping the door frame also turned pale due to the force.

"I want to go out!"

"Your Highness Qing." The girl outside smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Please don't embarrass us, Your Highness Qing."

"The Phantom King has ordered that you cannot go out. But I can pass on some news about the outside world to you. This is the best we can do."

The teleportation point in the virtual universe was designated by the Phantom King in this attic.

In real life, Ji Qing was controlled by Marquis Yin Xue in his kingdom of God.

So at this time Ji Qing was completely under control.

However, she was also very clear in her mind that with her cosmic-level strength, she would not be able to break through the two realm masters in front of her and leave directly.

Unless they give in, it's impossible.

Thinking of this, Ji Qing turned around and did not choose to force his way out. He just went to the window and looked into the distance.

I started emailing Hong non-stop: “Don’t do anything stupid!”

"return!"

"Don't be stupid! You don't have to sacrifice so much for me!"

"Come back! Come back!"

Emails were continuously sent to Hong, and a moment later Hong's message was also sent back.

"wait for me."

These two short words directly struck Ji Qing's heart, and made Ji Qing silent for a moment.

Based on her understanding of Hong, once Hong makes a decision, no one can change it.

"I must! I must come back alive." Ji Qing murmured to himself, looking into the distance again.

That is the direction of the Illusion Palace.

At this time, a lot of people gathered in the Illusion Palace. In addition to the Phantom King's clansmen, there were also many of the Phantom King's disciples.

Everyone was gathered together, whispering and talking.

"A cosmic-level little fellow actually dared to enter the eighteenth level of the fantasy world of love and desire? How daring!"

"Needless to say, that Hong is definitely dead!"

"Of course there is no doubt about this. The Illusion of Love is an illusion created by the Illusionary King himself. How could a mere cosmic-level person like him possibly get through it?"

"Hey, is that Hong in black?"

"No, that's Rong Jun, the super genius of Virtual Universe Company! The one in white next to him is Hong!"

"Wow, Rong Jun is so handsome!"

"I wonder if there's a chance for us to get to know each other?"

At this time, Rong Jun, Hong and Bushe were walking towards the 101st floor of the Illusion Palace.

Along the way, Rong Jun seemed extremely anxious, and kept persuading Hong: "Brother! This eighteen-layer illusion of love was set up by the Phantom Spirit King himself!"

"I know that your state of mind is extremely high, but if there is pressure from the Phantom King in that illusion, you will not be able to resist it with your strength!"

"There's no turning back this time, you must think carefully!"

Although Rong Jun was constantly persuading Hong, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to make Hong turn back.

Hong's state of mind is even much higher than that of himself and Luo Feng. With such a state of mind, even if the entire human race comes to persuade him, it will not change him at all!

Rong Jun was also very worried at this time. If it were any other immortal king, perhaps Rong Jun would still have some confidence.

After all, Hong is only at the cosmic level, and the other party might specially design an illusion for him because of his strength.

But he really couldn't figure out the Phantom King. The Phantom King had a strange temper. He obviously didn't like men and was unwilling to let his disciples fall in love, but he himself was full of temptation and charm.

It seems like she is seducing men all the time.

However, Rong Jun was also very clear that if any man really dared to have feelings for her, he would probably die faster than anyone else.

It is precisely because of this that Rong Jun is extremely worried, fearing that King Huanling has set up a death trap for Hong!

As they were talking, the three of them stopped directly on the 101st floor. A beautiful figure appeared in front of them at some point.

The other person's entire face was shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly. Only a pair of purple eyes could be seen, which looked extremely bewitching!

"Hong! You still have the chance to retreat!"

"Back off now. Even though I will look down on you from now on, at least you can save your life!"

"But if you choose to keep going forward, there will be no turning back! The 101st floor of illusion is ahead. If you can walk out of the 118th floor, I will fulfill my promise!"

"Success, then life!"

"If you fail, you die!"

"Start choosing now!"

Rong Jun looked at Hong with anxious eyes, but at this time Hong had a faint smile on his face.

Without any hesitation, he strode towards the passage in front of him, directly expressing his attitude with practical actions.

boom!
The next moment, the passage in front of him became blurry and no one could see clearly what was happening inside.

But Rong Jun knew very well in his heart that from now on, there was really no turning back for Hong.

The 101st floor of illusion in front of him was extremely blurry. Even if Rong Jun tried his best to open his eyes wide, he could not see clearly what was in front of him!
boom!
But soon, there was a shock in front of them, and then Hong's figure appeared in front of everyone again.

At this time, Hong did not hesitate at all, and continued to walk towards the second level of the illusion without looking back.

No one was surprised that Hong was able to break through the first layer.

If he can't even do this, then he has no right to be with Ji Qing.

Rong Jun and King Huanling all thought so.

Soon, a large crowd of people rushed towards the 102nd floor.

First floor, second floor, third floor!
Although Hong broke through three layers of illusion in succession, the time consumed became longer and longer as he continued to move forward.

It can be seen that the levels become more and more difficult as you go on.

"Can Big Brother really succeed?" Rong Jun's eyes flickered, and his expression was still filled with anxiety. There were still fifteen floors to go! But Hong was already showing signs of fatigue, so how could he get through?

But Rong Jun had no way to deal with this now. This was a bet between Hong and King Huanling. Even if he asked a teacher to come, he would not be able to intervene in this matter.

But, could he really just watch his elder brother fail and die in front of him?
How could he explain to his second brother and Luo Feng? He couldn't accept Hong committing suicide in front of him.

Although the relationship between him and Hong was not as deep as that between Luo Feng, he had already been deeply impressed by Hong during their interactions.

Since the other party sincerely regards him as his younger brother, he certainly cannot really watch Hong die!
After all, this illusion was set up by the Phantom King himself. If she wanted to, she could make Hong fail!
But he couldn't persuade his elder brother, so Rong Jun really had no idea what to do now. He could only pray for Hong in his heart, hoping that Hong could successfully get through the illusion!
I have to say that all this feeling of powerlessness comes from lack of strength!
If his strength was enough to crush the Phantom King, then he wouldn't need to have this mentality now.

But he is only a ninth-level Domain Lord now. Although his status in the Virtual Universe Company is not low, he still cannot be taken seriously by an existence like the Phantom King.

……

"Hong's concentration and state of mind are very strong. He has already broken through five levels of illusion!"

At this moment, King Phantom chuckled and said to Rong Jun.

"King Huanling, please show mercy!" Rong Jun took a deep breath and said respectfully to King Huanling.

"You don't have to beg me. Although I did set up this illusion, how to get through it still depends on Hong!"

"Besides, I only let him go through the stage of love in this 18-level illusion! Isn't Hong willing to die for love? I want to see how far he can go for love!"

The Phantom King sneered: "Not only humans, but all living things have essential desires!"

"Desire is the real driving force for growth! Maybe it's to become stronger, or to return home in glory, or maybe it's love! In short, all desires are based on human instinct!"

"But lust is different from other desires. It is very complicated compared to other desires! Even if you are as strong as an immortal god, you may not be able to resist lust."

When King Huanling said this, he looked towards the Prince of Huanling in front of him and said, “Since Hong is deeply trapped in lust, it will be more difficult to break through.”

"But I keep my word. If he can really get through, I will also fulfill my promise."

Listening to the words of the Phantom King, Rong Jun fell silent for a while.

As expected of being the top powerhouse among the immortal kings, the Phantom King’s control over desires has probably reached a certain level!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to directly control 81 immortal gods, including two at the king level!
But how difficult is it to break through the illusion and see through love?

Can Big Brother really succeed?
Rong Jun was nervous and continued to worry about Hong.

……

"Old Four, what's going on? How's the situation with Big Brother?"

At this moment, Thor's email came directly.

Rong Jun did not hold back and simply gave a brief account of what had happened during this period.

As for Luo Feng, Rong Jun has been in contact with him.

Soon, Thor replied: "I believe in you, big brother!"

"Big brother's state of mind is not comparable to that of ordinary people. He will definitely be able to successfully break through the eighteenth level of the illusion of love and desire!"

"What floor are we on now?"

Rong Jun looked up and replied, "The ninth floor! But now each floor is taking more and more time."

As time went by, Hong was still steadily breaking through the illusion.

However, the time consumed by each level of illusion is getting longer and longer!

The first floor, the fifth floor, the tenth floor!
At this time, we have arrived at the fifteenth level of the illusion!
"Success! Success! It must succeed!"

The tribesmen of the Phantom King around also looked in Hong's direction with complicated expressions.

It was also somewhat incredible for them to be able to reach the fifteenth level of illusion.

You know, Hong only has cosmic-level strength!

……

In the quiet attic, Ji Qing was sitting quietly by the window, but the look in her eyes revealed that she was not at peace at all.

"Your Highness Qing, Hong has broken through the fifteenth level of the Illusion of Love and Desire and is heading to the sixteenth level."

“It’s almost there.”

The sound outside made Ji Qing shudder all over.

"It will succeed soon, we must succeed, we must get out." As Ji Qing spoke, he clenched his hands tightly, his eyes filled with unstoppable worry.

The further it got, the more nervous everyone became!

By the time Hong entered the seventeenth-level illusion, the surrounding crowd was already in an uproar.

"This... this is too strong!"

“Although Hong obviously seemed to have reached his limit when he first entered, he was still able to hold on!”

“The subsequent levels are getting slower and slower, but who would have thought that Hong would actually make it through?”

"I don't know if he can succeed at the last level! Now I am actually looking forward to his success."

Everyone in the hall could clearly feel at this moment that the power of the illusion on the seventeenth floor was becoming more and more exaggerated.

Even if they were standing outside, they could still feel its powerful force.

So how much pressure is Hong, who is in the middle of it, under?

I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly a roar was heard.

Immediately afterwards, Hong's figure appeared in front of everyone again.

"The last level!"

There was a gleam in Hong's eyes. He took a deep breath. Although he looked extremely weak at this moment, he still walked towards the eighteenth floor with firm steps.

As Hong entered the eighteenth level of the illusion of love, the face of the Phantom King beside Rong Jun changed immediately.

"This is impossible! How could he have walked here?"

She didn't believe that a little guy who came to her because of love would not be affected by the illusion of love?

You know, the illusion you set up will arouse people's deepest desires, let alone Hong, a small cosmic level person.

Even though it is just pure lust, many immortal gods cannot resist it!
The Phantom King's eyes kept flashing, and his expression was extremely gloomy!

I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly there was a roar in the illusion hall on the eighteenth floor!
Then Hong's figure appeared in front of everyone.

Although Hong looked extremely miserable and embarrassed at this moment, his steps were still firm.

With a smile on his face, he strode up to the Phantom King.

He bowed respectfully to him, and then said softly: "Senior Huanling King, I have fulfilled the bet and successfully passed the eighteenth level of the illusion of love!"
