There was no doubt—this casual strike from the Red Demon King was effortless for him. Yet in the eyes of everyone else, that blood-colored palm was brimming with immense power, carrying a destructive aura capable of annihilating the heavens and the earth. Their expressions changed instantly.
A cruel smile spread across the Red Demon King's face. He had made up his mind—this palm, infused with the strength of the Twelve Celestials, would be the end of this young man. He would crush him completely in one blow.
As the blood-red palm descended, a crimson mist filled the air. For a moment, it seemed like everything else in the world ceased to exist. Underneath the massive hand, Senju Yukika's small figure appeared utterly powerless.
No one doubted that the next second, this unfamiliar youth would be smashed into pieces.
Those who didn't know Senju Yukika's true strength were especially anxious, fearing the young man would perish in an instant.
However, as the palm struck down, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from Senju Yukika's body!
The golden light was dazzling, so intense that everyone had to shut their eyes. The blood-colored palm, upon contact with this brilliance, began to melt away like snow under a blazing sun…
Though it looked slow, the process was lightning fast. In an instant, the sea of blood on the mountaintop had been completely dispersed, evaporating into the air and vanishing without a trace.
At the summit stood a golden sun, radiating ten thousand rays of divine light—and at its center was Senju Yukika.
He stood bathed in sunlight, like a divine shrine from an ancient era—sacred and majestic.
At that moment, everyone's faces changed drastically, their hearts pounding wildly. What did they just witness?
This youth had suddenly released a radiant golden light that shattered the Red Demon's bloody palm in an instant!
What… what kind of power was this?
Everyone was stunned speechless. Their mouths hung slightly open in disbelief, unable to accept that what they had seen was real.
And there stood the young man, unmoving. Strictly speaking, he had only used one move.
One move was all it took to destroy the Red Demon King's ultimate attack. So what level of power did this young man truly possess?
The Red Demon King himself trembled. His heart skipped a beat, and even his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
He muttered inwardly—this guy doesn't have any trace of chakra, yet he just neutralized my cultivation. How is this possible?
The Red Demon Clan wracked their brains trying to figure it out.
If Senju Yukika had used a powerful chakra technique to counter his attack, that would have made sense. But the strange thing was—there wasn't even the slightest trace of chakra on him. His body appeared calm and unassuming.
But then what was the source of that golden light?
Suddenly, the Red Demon King seemed to recall something—could it be… the legendary Phantasm World Illusion!?
Yes! That must be it!
As of now, this was the only explanation that made sense.
The Phantasm World Illusion was a legendary technique on this planet. There were many kinds of illusion arts, but none as powerful as the Phantasm World.
It was said that this illusionary school had long since vanished, and no successors had been born for hundreds of years…
To cultivate the Phantasm World Illusion was not something just anyone could do—it required someone born with immense illusionary talent.
What made it superior to all others was its ability to generate a false world using a caster's unique chakra, entrapping enemies within a realm of illusion so potent that they could never wake up.
It could even merge fragments of reality and illusion—mysterious and chilling!
Senju Yukika had shown no signs of chakra, yet his body emitted golden light that shattered the Red Demon King's palm. To the Red Demon King, this could only mean one thing: the legendary Phantasm World Illusion.
There was no second possibility.
The Red Demon King let out a cold laugh and said, "I never thought I would see the return of a Phantasm World descendant."
With that, the crowd's faces changed dramatically!
Though few had seen it with their own eyes, all had heard tales of the Phantasm World.
Especially Prince Yuhuang—being a royal, he had access to many ancient records and knew just how terrifying this illusionary school was.
Now, the crowd looked at Senju Yukika with increasingly complex expressions.
What exactly was the Phantasm World?
A flicker of confusion crossed Senju Yukika's eyes.
He hadn't used chakra at all—only some Buddhist attributes to dissolve the sea of blood created by the Red Demon King.
The Red Demon had committed countless atrocities, his aura thick with evil. Using Buddhist power to suppress him was simply the perfect match.
But to think that this would cause such a misunderstanding—that they'd think he was a descendant of the Phantasm World?
Upon hearing the term "Phantasm World," Stone Fortress Lord, Shangguan, and the others all wore puzzled looks.
They had always assumed Senju Yukika was a hidden super-powerhouse. But now, after hearing the Red Demon King's words, a trace of doubt emerged in their hearts.
"Yeah… Master Senju is only a teenager—how could he possibly be this powerful? Could he really be a descendant of the Phantasm World?"
"Every time he faces an enemy, he uses illusion arts, blending reality and dreams, trapping his opponents completely."
That would explain how he defeated the Radiant Sect Master in a single strike!
The more they thought about it, the more convinced they became. They realized the Red Demon King might be right…
Meanwhile, the Red Demon King saw Senju Yukika remain silent for so long and assumed he had accepted the claim by default. He burst into hearty laughter.
Just moments ago, he had been under immense pressure, but now he felt considerably more relaxed.
While the Phantasm World Illusion was terrifying, that school had been dwindling for generations…
After all, each generation had only one successor. How much power could they possibly have?
Besides, illusions were ultimately just illusions—not actual strength.
As a result, the Red Demon King's wariness diminished considerably.
He had to admit, the Phantasm World was formidable—but that was mainly due to its rarity and mystique.
In a head-on clash, no illusionist could ever claim to be the strongest under the heavens!
At least in the Red Demon's eyes, to defeat a Phantasm World successor, all he had to do was unleash relentless, overwhelming attacks and shatter the illusion realm by force!
