Chapter 816: Class 7 Magical Beast

“The illusions here really are powerful,” Jian Chen mumbled gently . His emotions, affected by the illusions before, had already calmed down slowly .

“The illusion wasn’t strong; your mental state is just weak . The illusion sucked you in so easily . It originates from your heart and mind; if your heart and mind are flawless and free from worries, how would a mere illusion affect you? This illusion can be considered as the weakest type; there’ll be even more powerful ones once you enter the Fantasy Star Ocean . ” The Heavenly Enchantress spoke coldly .

“Looks like I’m overestimating you . You may have become a Saint Ruler, but your mental state is just too horrible . You’re probably the Saint Ruler with the weakest mind in the entire continent . Perhaps coming to the Fantasy Star Ocean with you was the wrong decision . ” The Heavenly Enchantress spoke coldly .

Hearing that, Jian Chen immediately felt pained . He was a Saint Ruler, but he was, after all, still too young . Even with his two lifetimes combined, he was less than a hundred years old . Meanwhile, all the other Saint Rulers were people who had lived for centuries, or even millennia, with enough descendants to form a large clan . Jian Chen completely overwhelmed them in terms of talent, but he was nowhere close in terms of life experience .

The most severe part was his bonds with his parents . Jian Chen treated it with too much importance, practically viewing it with more important than his own life . He had clearly known that the images in the mist before were illusions, yet he still could not help but fall for them; Jian Chen still was unable to endure the things happening despite knowing it was all fake .

If any other Saint Ruler had witnessed something similar, they would definitely not have fallen for it as easily as Jian Chen . Saint Rulers who had lived for centuries, or even millennia, had plenty of descendants . They probably have witnessed some of them dying of old age themselves . As a result, they would no longer treated the bond of family as importantly and would have resisted the illusions easily .

Illusions originated from the mind and heart . If there were concerns or obsessions, the mist would create illusions accordingly, displaying your weakest point right before you .

Illusions did not test a person’s strength, but a person’s heart and mind . Jian Chen seemed to be decisive on the outside with a rock-hard heart, but this was only what he would display before his opponents . In actuality, there was still a soft area in his heart that his relatives occupied .

Jian Chen’s mind became much more resolute after experiencing what had happened before . He stared into the mist before him . The mist continued to surge, tossing about and changing around, as if there was something ready to come out . However, Jian Chen’s state of mind immediately became like still-water—free of any ripples . He did not think about anything, nor did he guess about anything, so, naturally, there was nothing .

The next part of the journey was extremely peaceful . After over two hours of slow flying, he and the Heavenly Enchantress finally passed through the region of fog . The misty-white blanket had finally disappeared from before them, replaced by deep blue seawater .

“Haaaaa,” Jian Chen breathed out loudly . He felt much more relaxed after passing through the mist . He looked around, but only saw that the surroundings and sky were all a surface of white . They were enveloped by a layer of dense, yet odd, mist, as if it formed the edges of a separate world .

Below him was deep blue sea water . The water was smooth, like a mirror, and without any ripples—stagnant . It was extremely strange . In the center of all that was a huge island . Ithad an extremely large surface area and did not seem like it could be called an island, but rather a small continent . The island was mountainous, littered with trees and was entirely blanketed by a thin layer of fog . It was hazy, adding on a layer of mysteriousness .

Jian Chen stared brightly at the huge island before him and asked, “Is this perhaps the Fantasy Star Ocean?”

The Heavenly Enchantress looked towards the island before her . She was rather stern, and she said, “Correct, this is the Fantasy Star Ocean, as well as the holy land of the former Dragon clan, Dragon Island . It is said that Dragon Island was not originally like this, but became the current Fantasy Star Ocean after some unknown reason caused it to change .

Jian Chen could not help but think back to the scene back in the City of God, when Class 8 Magical Beasts fled from the saint artifact . There seemed to be a member of the Dragon clan among them .

“It’s said that the Dragon clan was one of the four great clans of the magical beasts, and have disappeared along with the Divine Phoenix clan since the ancient times . Would their disappearance have anything to do with Dragon Island? Or, in other words, did they all die on Dragon Island?” Jian Chen asked in doubt .

The Heavenly Enchantress shook her head gently, “I do not know much about what happened in that age either . The very limited information on this matter all originate from rumors, or those ancient records in Mercenary City . However, not a lot is recorded regarding Dragon Island . ”

“Alright, let’s stop guessing about this, there’s no point . We’re currently in the outskirts of the Fantasy Star Ocean . The fog was not the true danger in coming here; the dangers are on this island . When we enter the island, you have to be extra careful . The hundred-thousand-year Dragon’s Saliva should be in the very centre of the island . ”

Jian Chen and the Heavenly Enchantress both flew towards the island, landing on it soon after .

“In the ancient times, the Dragon clan filled Dragon Island with formations . These formations automatically absorb energy of the world to replenish themselves . Although it’s been countless years since they were first laid down, a few that were set by remarkable experts still remain . They may not be as powerful as before, but you still need to be on guard . ” The Heavenly Enchantress explained to Jian Chen in detail about some areas that he needed to be aware of on Dragon Island .

Jian Chen observed the island as he listened to the Heavenly Enchantress talk . They had already passed through the region of mist, but his presence was still suppressed by a mysterious power and was unable to be used at all . However, his sight, no longer obstructed, was much clearer now .

The two of them slowly walked forwards, both extremely careful as they traveled .

At this very moment, the ground suddenly began to violently shake . Four earthen walls rose from the ground, forming a jail-like room and trapping the two of them inside . The earthen walls radiated with a faint, golden lustre . An extremely powerful and pure energy vaguely radiated from the earthen walls .

Soon afterwards, earthen spears coated in golden light began to appear from the walls . With whistling sounds, they shot towards the entrapped Jian Chen and Heavenly Enchantress at lightning speed .

Dense clusters of spears shot from all directions, locking the two of them out of any paths for escape . There was only the misty-white sky left for them to flee .

“Remember, you must never fly above ten meters in the sky in the Fantasy Star Ocean . The dangers in the sky is several times greater than on the ground . ” The Heavenly Enchantress’s cold voice appeared in Jian Chen’s mind as she faced the spears calmly and unperturbed . Shortly afterwards, she gently struck a string with her finger, and a zither note rang out . It spread out in all directions as a visible wave of sound .

The sound wave contained an unbelieveable power . Wherever it passed by, the earthen spears disintegrated, turning into a pile of dust in the air .

The visible sound wave cut through the surroundings like a hot knife through butter before colliding forcefully with the earthen walls that ensnared them in . With a rumble, the walls trembled violently before disintegrating as well .

The confining earthen walls could only be used against Heaven Saint Masters; it was nothing to Saint Rulers . However, if a Heaven Saint Master had been trapped by it, it would be almost guaranteed death .

Breaking out of the earthen walls, Jian Chen and the Heavenly Enchantress continued on their way, walking directly towards the general region of the island .

In the following part of the journey, they both experienced constant attacks from various traps . However, these attacks were clearly only prepared for Heaven Saint Masters and were unable to pose much of a threat at all to Saint Rulers . The journey was frightening, but not very dangerous .

Roar! Suddenly, a loud beast roared in the distance . Soon afterwards, the ground began to shake gently . A humanoid giant of over three hundred meters in height ran towards them from afar at great speeds, constantly roaring along the way .

“That’s a warbeast!” Jian Chen narrowed his eyes and growled to himself . The warbeast ahead had already reached Class 7 as a magical beast, and was equivalent to human Saint Rulers .

The Heavenly Enchantress stared coldly at the warbeast . Her finger moved gently on the zither string, and a sound wave immediately shot out towards the incoming war beast in the shape of a sharp arrow .

Shwit! The arrow formed from sound pierced through the warbeast’s chest . The warbeast’s overwhelmingly powerful defense was akin to tofu before it, and the arrow punched a head-sized hole with no difficulty . However, no blood flowed out .

The warbeast seemed to feel no pain, continuing onwards towards the two of them with great steps as it roared mindlessly along the way .

The Heavenly Enchantress remained the same as before . Her white, elegant hands constantly danced around on the zither, producing beautiful sounds from playing it . With each note, a powerful sound wave shot out with lightning speed and struck the warbeast’s body .

The warbeast did not dodge at all and continued in its charge towards the two of them in a straight line . Meanwhile, its huge, three-hundred-meter tall body was now riddled with holes while its head was already smashed to smithereens .

But even with all that, even with its head missing, the warbeast did not die . It did not even bleed, much less show pain . It continued charging at the two of them without any pauses .

Witnessing something so strange, Jian Chen was overwhelmed with shock and horror . He found it unbelievable .
