The legendary warrior

Chapter 1274 The Power Of Illusion

The moment Peter finished his sentence, he stomped his feet over the sky that resulted in a thunderous rumble.

Tremendous power gushed out from his body, transforming into thick white mist, which covered the blood-colored space in the blink of an eye. It was as if he had drawn the place straight out of people's fantasies.

It turned out that the Mu Clan of the Misty Mountain was renowned for a reason.

Typically, the Misty Mountain, where the said clan lived, was engulfed by a white mist that contained the heavenly law.

And all members of the Mu Clan were born in Misty Mountain. It didn't matter what kind of spiritual meridian they were born with, the ability to use the cloud and mist powers was innate to them.

Moreover, even the Mu Clan's members who had yet to reach the Emperor Level could unleash the cloud and mist powers that contained the heavenly power, although they couldn't put the heavenly power inside to their advantage.

Over the years, the clansmen soon managed to devise the illusion power out of the mist and cloud powers.

Of course, only Mu Clan's members could do that.

Peter considered George's imminent blow as the mist, created out of Peter's mist power, obscured him from view. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

In no time, five mountains covered by the white mist emerged from each of Peter's eyes.

As soon as Peter clapped his hands, ten mountains clouded by the mist suddenly materialized before him.

"Ten mountains, attack now!" he yelled out.

In the next second, the ten mountains rushed forward, facing George's strike head-on. The second the two forces collided, the ten mountains shifted into a thick mist. And the power within the mist engulfed George's strike like flexible armor.

Soon after, nothing was left of the attack, as all George's powers had turned entirely into mist.

A gigantic shadow abruptly emerged in front of Peter, which absorbed the mist all around him like a sponge to water. When all the mist had dissipated, George appeared again, looking taken aback.

Before George could react, the giant shadow morphed into a dragon and flung towards him with a fierce growl.

He came back to his senses as he quickly sensed the danger awaiting him, and he knew that he needed to resist the blow.

Thus, he concentrated all his strength on his arms and converged them over his chest.

Boom!

The next moment, the dragon made of mist slammed into George's arms. The impact quickly blew him away, and he fell helplessly into the crimson lake.

Blood gushed out from his wounds, coloring the crimson lake a darker red.

At the same time, Ricky and Mordechai were watching the fight with appreciative gazes, while they healed their wounds from the previous attack.

"I can't believe there is such a big gap between George's and Peter's strength. Peter has had the upper hand since the fight began!" Mordechai admitted to Ricky through telepathy.

"Honestly, I'm not very surprised. I guess Peter has been a middle spiritual emperor for a while, and besides, he is far more talented than George. Have you noticed that Peter has not activated his mutant power yet?

But what surprised me is George's action," Ricky replied mysteriously.

"What are you talking about, man?

I'm afraid I'm not following," Mordechai confessed. He wondered what Ricky meant when he mentioned George's action.

"Mordechai, George is not a fool. Although he wants the Life and Death Water, I don't think he would sacrifice his life for it. He should have figured that Peter has become a middle spiritual emperor as we did. But despite knowing Peter's real cultivation level, why did he reveal his true colors so soon?"

Ricky blurted out thoughtfully.

"Hmmn... You make a good point. Is it possible that he has another trump card giving him confidence that he could defeat Peter?" Mordechai surmised.

The duo then fell silent as they turned their attention to Peter once again.

As they watched, the blood-colored lake where George fell began to swell and heave.

Suddenly, the water shot towards the sky.

Dozens of water pillars emerged on the surface of the lake.

Moreover, they could clearly sense that every drop of water in the blood-colored lake was packed with George's Mixed Water Mutant's power and the heavenly power.

As another blood-colored water column sprang from the lake, George rose from the water's depths.

"Peter, I warned you that I will take your place and become the new number nine genius in the outer region. And I'm going to make that happen today," George threatened Peter with his face twisted in scorn.

At this point, he had already activated his Mixed Water Mutant to its limit.

Peter met his gaze with a somber expression, seeing that George seemed to grow more powerful.

"You used your Mixed Water Mutant to take control of the entire blood-colored lake?" he asked, squinting his eyes suspiciously at George.

"This is the last trump card I have prepared to deal with you," George claimed with a ferocious look.

Swish! Swish! In the next moment, countless blood-colored water drops emerged from the lake. They remained afloat in the air and absorbed the heavenly power and the mutant's power under the influence of the Mixed Water Mutant.

"Go attack, my palm strike!" George roared.

Every blood-colored water drop spun, and George's body mutated into innumerable water drops and fused with the blood-colored ones.

This mix of crimson and blue water drops morphed into giant palms that sped towards Peter like bullets.

Peter's cloud power stood no chance, as the palms dissolved them without a trace on the way to their target—Peter.

Mordechai and Ricky could only watch closely with their eyebrows furrowed in concern.

"He can even control the lake using his Mixed Water Mutant. No wonder he has the balls to challenge Peter," Mordechai remarked in a serious tone.

"Water power can suppress cloud power, and we can see that his strike contains water power and heavenly power. It would be almost impossible for Peter to withstand it with his cloud and mist powers. Besides, the power contained in this blood-colored lake is definitely no weaker than Peter's. After all, it gave birth to the Life and Death Water. Obviously, George has thought of that, and that's why he dared to fight Peter here.

The fighting power of a warrior with the Mixed Water Mutant increases whenever he is near water..."

Ricky analyzed.

Meanwhile, Peter glared at the giant palms that were quickly approaching him.

Faced with such water power, he knew that his cloud and mist powers wouldn't be strong enough to resist it.

However, if he were to lose this easily, he would not have been recognized as the number nine genius in the outer region.

"Ricky, I think Peter is finally going to burst out his mutant power. What do you think?" Mordechai murmured excitedly.

"I'm not sure..." Ricky shook his head.

He could feel that Peter was a formidable foe, but he didn't know the full extent of his strength.

After a while, a voice broke the tense silence.

"Ultimate Illusion Ball!" Peter yelled out.

And as soon as he clapped his hands, more cloud and mist powers burst forth from his body.

The moment that they came out, they turned into another power.

That was, without a doubt, the power of illusion.

Once he had transformed all the cloud and mist powers, he opened his palms where a ball emerged.

That was Peter's Omnipotent Skill—the Ultimate Illusion Ball.

In the twinkling of an eye, the ball grew and started flying in the air. It stretched out to engulf all the giant palms, and the illusion power it contained submerged the palms.

The ball's interior was obscured from view. Only the earsplitting sound of the collision came out from time to time.

However, with the help of the Golden Spirit Eyes, Ricky could see what was happening inside the ball.

It turned out that the illusion power within the ball had confused the giant palms inside, and they were now attacking each other.

Since the palms contained the same power, they were equal in strength. Hence, they broke into pieces each time they collided with each other.
