Chapter 908: Chapter 751: The Failed and Disappointing Backstab

This Nine Realm Profound Immortal Tree Demon seemed to be floating above the Tree Spirit Array Group, and from the looks of it, he was likely the leader among the mountain spirits and demons.

If it hadn’t been for witnessing the adversary’s outburst underwater earlier, Wang Zijia would not have realized that this person was a Ninth Realm Profound Immortal Big Tree Demon; he would have mistaken him for one of the many Celestial Immortals surrounding them!

Upon seeing the opponent, Wang Zijia’s gaze abruptly paused, and a glint of sharp light flashed then disappeared from the depths of his eyes.

’This is the Giant Tree Spatial Mystical Domain Group, where as a Profound Immortal Tree Demon, he was ultimately suffocated to death.’

’What’s more, after his death in the last cycle, the battlefield plot reset!’

’...’

All sorts of information flashed by, and it seemed the identity of the Illusion Master had become clear!

"How audacious!"

"How audacious!"

"..."

The sound of fury echoed through heaven and earth at that moment.

Clearly, the Big Shots on both sides had finished their bickering once more!

The plot of the great melee unfolded again!

Wang Zijia immediately came back to his senses as the big battle reignited.

However, this time, the person charging at him was not the same Celestial Immortal Daoist Priest who became an illusion due to Wang Zijia claiming his corpse, but another Celestial Immortal clad in battle armor.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zijia instantly thought of a strategy to break the illusion.

If he could turn all the Celestial Immortals capable of fighting him into phantoms through repeated reincarnations, could that break the illusion?

Of course, this method of breaking the illusion was not only a crude approach but also not necessarily effective, and it even had pitfalls.

Because it was possible that even after turning them all into phantoms, he might still be trapped in the game, just fighting against illusions – after all, both leaders were pure illusions, but the Mountain Giants and Weak Water Method they conjured were real!

However, he wanted to keep this strategy in mind; if there was no other way to break the illusion, he could try it.

...

Wang Zijia skillfully blessed himself with the power of thunder and once more fought the Celestial Immortal generals while glancing at that Tree Demon.

As expected, he was a true Profound Immortal. Even the large swathes of the battlefield revolved around him as the nucleus.

His opponent was also a Dao Court’s Profound Immortal general, and their battle was exceptionally fierce.

A flash of light flickered in Wang Zijia’s eyes.

’If there’s an Illusion Master, then the likelihood is that it’s this Tree Demon!’

’After all, Ding Haiping said that this space was born from the giant tree space, making this Tree Demon exceptionally compatible with this place. Plus, as a powerful Profound Immortal, he was suffocated to death in the end – he’s the most likely to be behind the shiftiness!’

’There’s an eight or nine out of ten chance that he’s the Illusion Master!’

’Never mind that, if killing him doesn’t break the illusion, then we’ll talk about it; worst comes to worst, restart the plot for another round.’

’But to get him, I need to seize the right opportunity. I’m not yet strong enough to kill a Profound Immortal with one slap!’

While Wang Zijia’s thoughts zipped by, he tangled with his adversary.

Since this person had the cultivation of a Late Heavenly Immortal, Wang Zijia no longer found it as easy as before.

But he could still manage to delay; after all, the sky of thunder and the Way of Thunder were exceedingly suitable for battle.

Thus, Wang Zijia, as before, engaged in a lengthy battle.

Ling Jingzi’s Divine Powers, just like last time, activated again, with the Mountain Giant commencing a massacre and turning countless heavenly soldiers and generals into mush.

"You’re courting death!"

With another roar exploding in the air.

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

The celestial river inverted, and a flood of water rushed from all directions, submerging the heavens and the earth where celestial and immortal gods and demons were chaotically fighting, drowning them all.

In that instant, Wang Zijia, who had prepared beforehand, had his Dao power circulating within him.

"Divine Dragon Nine Transformations: Divine Dragon Transformation!"

Once again, Wang Zijia transformed into a white dragon, disappearing into the weak water before everyone else could come to their senses.

After a moment of chaos, some of the heavenly soldiers and generals began to move like fish in the water, slaughtering the waterlogged spirits.

Others had amulets that flickered, and like water-repelling beads, they produced a bubble, allowing them to move in the water while gradually eliminating the spirits.

The favorable situation was instantly reversed twice due to a Divine Power from the leaders of both sides.

Wang Zijia’s focus, the Profound Immortal Tree Demon, also showed signs of drowning in the chaos.

Before the Tree Demon could stabilize his situation and find a solution, the tangible Dao Court’s Profound Immortal general he was fighting immediately attacked and entangled him.

The Tree Demon clumsily tried to respond, but all his spells, once cast, disintegrated due to the erosion of the weak water.

Three Celestial Immortal generals, who happened to be nearby, saw this and decisively joined in to beat the Tree Demon.

The Tree Demon’s situation worsened, his face filled with unwillingness. He was a mighty Ninth Realm Profound Immortal Big Shot, just a step away from ascending to the Saint Third Realm, and now he was about to be suffocated to death in indignity.

If things went as expected, the plot would see him revealing his true form before his death, dragging down a few generals with him in mutual destruction.

Then the plot would reset.

"Now is the moment!"

At that instant, Wang Zijia made his move.

Wang Zijia transformed into a transparent human skin, and just before the Tree Demon revealed his true form, he wrapped him up within it.

"You...glub glub..."

The Tree Demon stared at Wang Zijia with a puzzled face, not understanding why he would stab him in the back.

However, before the Tree Demon could say more, in the next moment, Wang Zijia had already enveloped him.

In an instant, Wang Zijia once again felt a strange force being cut off from its connection.

Inside his body, the Profound Immortal Tree Demon wrapped in human skin lost the support of this rule-like force and began to lose vitality, as souls dissipated and the body turned into a mummy.

The several attackers opposite him were stunned. The next moment, Tao Law filled the sky.

These guys had no sense of honor in combat; Wang Zijia clearly stabbed the Tree Demon in the back to help them, yet they were actually trying to kill both him and the Tree Demon together!

Especially that Profound Immortal who was fighting the Tree Demon, his Fairy Sword burst with Spiritual Light and he swung an extremely terrifying sword directly at Wang Zijia.

’Damn it!’

’Mom...this Tree Demon turned out not to be the Illusion Master! He’s actually a real ally! My backstabbing...’

’Holy shit, how could this be such a pitfall!’

’Giant tree space, a Profound Immortal Tree Demon dying suffocated and drowned, with so many premises and such an advantageous environment, how could it not be him who was the trickster????’

’To be fair, bro, my backstabbing you is only logical, you weren’t wronged!’

At this moment, Wang Zijia had ten thousand metaphorical grass-mud horses thundering through his mind.

Before the souls inside the Tree Demon’s body had completely dissipated, he decisively released the human skin.

The Tree Demon, not yet fully shriveled, reconnected with the Mysterious Realm, and his body rapidly swelled again, and perhaps because of this back-and-forth, his drowning state surprisingly improved quite a bit.

As if in a daze, he came back to his senses, ignoring Wang Zijia, because the attack from the opposite side had come again.

The Tree Demon was pushed to the front by Wang Zijia, who himself immediately dodged back, but was still pursued by several people. Even transformed into a water dragon and hiding in Stealth, he was relentlessly chased.

Fortunately, the Profound Immortal Tree Demon was reliable and did not chase after him to kill him, but instead continued to tangle with the opposing Profound Immortal divine general.

So Wang Zijia was chased by three Heavenly Immortals for a while, and the Tree Demon ultimately could not change his destiny and died again from drowning, dragging the Profound Immortal down to drown with him in the Weak Water.

The moment they perished together, the Heavenly Immortals pursuing Wang Zijia immediately stood still and stopped moving.

The entire space was silent for a moment, and then as if time and space flowed backward again, within a few breaths, everything returned to the beginning.

"By the mandate of the heavens..."

With the familiar voice sounding, Wang Zijia breathed a long sigh of relief; thankfully, there were no mishaps, and the plot had reset once more.

"Attack!"

As the soldiers clashed with each other, this time Wang Zijia turned his gaze to the opposite side.

Among the group of Immortals from the Dao Court, he found that Profound Immortal who had nearly cleaved him in half with a sword!

Since the Tree Demon was not the Illusion Master, then the only anomaly left was you!!!

"How audacious!"

"..."

Wang Zijia’s thoughts whirled, as the Big melee plot began once more.

Because Wang Zijia had not collected the corpses again in the last round, his opponent was still the same divine general from before.

However, something went wrong, and after a short while into the battle, one of the three Heavenly Immortals who had pursued Wang Zijia in the previous round suddenly joined the battlefield, teaming up with another to double-team Wang Zijia.

Although Wang Zijia could still cope for a short period, it made him realize that the seemingly endless loop of battlefield plot was not immutable.

This made Wang Zijia’s mind tense up even more, as an unexpected Heavenly Immortal could be added into the mix, so a big prize could also suddenly fall from the battle among the big shots above and hit him on the head.

After cautiously coping for a while, alerted by his Spiritual Sense Warning.

"Boom!"

After a familiar earth-shaking rumble, the terrifying Mountain Giant emerged and began a war stomp on the battlefield, causing countless deaths and injuries.

"You’re courting death!"

A roar of anger echoed through the Nine Heavens.

"Whoosh!"

This was followed by the familiar turning of the heavenly river upside down.

These parts of the plot had not changed, which allowed Wang Zijia, who had been holding his breath, to quietly relax. Prepared for some time, he did not hesitate to trigger the transformation.

"Divine Dragon Nine Transformations: Divine Dragon Transformation!"

In the moment he was caught in the water, Wang Zijia once again became a small white dragon, and his body gradually became transparent, merging with the water and disappearing.

The Weak Water that connected heaven and earth submerged everyone.

The Mountain Spirits and Demons struggled sluggishly, flapping around like mortals facing a flood, sinking and drowning in the water.

Whereas the golden-armored heavenly soldiers and generals, after a moment of panic, either became incredibly adept at swimming, like fish in water, or their amulets flashed and bubbles of water-avoiding air appeared around them, enveloping them.

The tide of battle turned in an instant as numerous divine generals and heavenly soldiers began to slaughter the demons en masse.

The Profound Immortal Tree Demon who had nearly been backstabbed to death by Wang Zijia in the last round was attacked again, this time with one more person added to the fray due to the earlier events.

With Wang Zijia’s disappearance, both who were pursuing him joined the attack.

It became a Profound Immortal divine general leading four Heavenly Immortals in attacking the Profound Immortal Tree Demon.

At any other time, even a few more Heavenly Immortals wouldn’t be enough for the Tree Demon to hammer down.

But at this moment, the Tree Demon, already drowning, was quickly pushed to the limit and was on the verge of drowning to death. He erupted once more, revealed his original form, and entangled the attacking Immortals.

This caused all five of them to plunge into drowning together.

Wang Zijia watched the Dao Court’s Profound Immortal intently. He saw clearly that this time, the Profound Immortal nearly broke free - a turn of events that hadn’t happened in the previous two rounds.
