Chapter 2117: Chapter 2117

Su Yang walked amidst the clouds, watching as the black dragon roared and charged towards him, yet he showed no intention of stopping it.

It wasn't that Su Yang didn't want to stop it; he simply couldn't control his body.

Su Yang himself was startled, but the problem was that his body was now controlled by the power of an Illusion. It felt as though the Illusion was in control of the body, and he was merely a spectator within, distanced from everything happening.

As the black dragon charged towards him, the Great City Lord shouted incessantly from behind, but Su Yang neither dodged nor counterattacked.

The Great City Lord's eyes changed anxiously, seeing that the black dragon was coming at them fiercely. If Su Yang was hit by this black dragon, wouldn't that be certain death?

The Great City Lord hadn't directly encountered the black dragon, yet its overwhelming presence instilled extreme fear in him. What if he approached it personally?

In a rush, he dashed forward and reached out to pull Su Yang away. However, even after grabbing hold of Su Yang, he couldn't move him an inch, and Su Yang continued walking straight ahead.

After several failed attempts to pull Su Yang away, the Great City Lord grew even more flustered. What should he do now?

Seeing the black dragon extend a claw towards Su Yang, Su Yang still showed no intention of dodging or defending. The Great City Lord gritted his teeth and suddenly took a step forward, standing directly in front of Su Yang, and delivered a full-force blow towards the dragon's claw.

"Boss!" exclaimed the Second City Lord and Third City Lord together from behind, both trembling with fear at the sight of the black dragon.

Although they hadn't confronted the black dragon directly, they could sense its power far surpassed theirs. Given their strength, a single claw from the black dragon could easily wipe out all three of them.

In such a situation, for the Great City Lord to confront the black dragon head-on was akin to seeking death.

Yet, they couldn't stop him and could only watch helplessly as the black dragon's claw came down.

Three meters, two meters, one meter.

The black dragon's claw finally struck the Great City Lord, who closed his eyes, knowing he couldn't withstand the attack.

However, the expected agony of being shattered to pieces did not occur.

The claw hadn't caused the Great City Lord any injury!

The Great City Lord was stunned for a moment, cautiously opening his eyes to see the black dragon still glaring at him. But strangely, the dragon's claw was just below him.

"What's... what's going on?" the Great City Lord was bewildered.

The claw clearly struck him, so why was there no feeling of injury at all?

Behind him, the Second City Lord and Third City Lord had witnessed it clearly. They saw that the claw had passed right through the Great City Lord's body. Or rather, the Great City Lord's body had passed through the claw.

It felt as if the claw was a three-dimensional projection, not a tangible entity. So when the claw came down, despite its immense presence, it was merely a layer of projection passing over the Great City Lord, leaving him unharmed!

After a moment's pause, the Second City Lord excitedly said, "Boss, don't be afraid, it's just a projection, not something that truly exists. It's likely the shadow of a black dragon that existed here long ago, now merely a three-dimensional projection, unable to cause harm!"

The Great City Lord finally understood what was happening, letting out a long sigh of relief as he instinctively wiped away his cold sweat.

Just a moment ago, he thought he was doomed, but to his surprise, events unfolded this way, and his life was unexpectedly spared.

He couldn't help but look at Su Yang beside him. Su Yang seemed so calm; he must have known about the black dragon's situation, which is why he ignored it entirely.

But how did Su Yang know about the matters of the Heavenly Sect? Wasn't this his first time here?

In fact, the Great City Lord didn't know that Su Yang didn't actually understand anything about the Heavenly Sect. The problem was that the Illusion was controlling Su Yang's body now, not Su Yang himself.

The Illusion must be very familiar with the Heavenly Sect!

Walking past the ferocious black dragon, Su Yang continued to walk slowly.

The clouds above had begun to circulate; the Array here had been activated.

The three Crystal Skulls were on edge, fully aware of how potent this Array was.

They wanted to instruct Su Yang on how to break the Array, but Su Yang seemed completely indifferent, still strolling slowly through the circulating clouds.

Strangely, the clouds seemed devoid of power and did not attack him whatsoever.

The three Crystal Skulls were dumbfounded. Was Su Yang this knowledgeable about the Array? Judging by his walking pattern, he appeared to be fully aware, thus evading all attacks within the Array!

The three exchanged glances, quickly following him while memorizing the path Su Yang took.

Previously, entering the Heavenly Sect was a Herculean task for them. If they could remember Su Yang's route, they wouldn't have to worry about the Array's threat in the future!

Su Yang strolled leisurely through the clouds as if out for a walk, expertly avoiding all of the Array's attacks.

Finally, Su Yang arrived in front of the black monument.

"Brother, this place really does hold power!" the Great City Lord quickly said. "The power of the Array comes from this black monument!"

The Great City Lord worried that Su Yang would mistake the black monument for a projection again, given how he had risked everything to block for Su Yang earlier and was already scared witless. This time, he truly didn't know if he could muster the courage to shield Su Yang again.

Moreover, the key issue was that the previous black dragon was intangible, whereas this monument truly existed and its power far surpassed that of the black dragon!

Su Yang ignored the Great City Lord and stood in front of the black monument, remaining still.

At that moment, the destructive aura emanating from the black monument receded entirely. It felt as though it had encountered a terrifying enemy, hence gathering all its power in preparation to defend against the enemy's assault!

Su Yang stared at the black monument for a while, or rather, the Illusion studied the monument for a long time.

Finally, Su Yang moved, or more precisely, the Illusion moved!

He took a step forward, and instantly, the surrounding mist dissipated, revealing everything around them.
