"Do you remember the Illusion Magic technique the Envoy taught us?"
"Leader, do you mean...?"
The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right!"
"Although this is our last resort, there's a saying: know yourself and your enemy, and you'll win every battle. Only by investigating this island thoroughly can we know how to conquer it."
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
Even though they were reluctant, they realized this was their only option, considering they had lost one person and had two severely injured without even setting foot on the island.
"We'll wait two days for Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother to recover, then activate the Grand Illusion Magic Formation!"
Two days passed quickly.
The Destroyer of the World and his companions remained hidden.
When Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother had recovered about 70-80%, everyone gathered in the forest.
A Grand Illusion Magic Formation had already been set up before them.
The armored man in the lead gave solemn instructions to the group.
"Remember Tenth Brother's death. Only by first investigating the island's situation can we possibly avenge him!"
"By activating the Illusion Magic, we can infiltrate the island effortlessly."
"Thanks to the enchantment, our bodies will be immune to formation and mental attacks, and our defense will be greatly enhanced. Even the strongest experts won't be able to see through our true forms. It's like having an immortal, indestructible body, so we can freely explore every corner of the island."
"Understood!" Everyone responded solemnly.
After giving instructions, the nine people entered the prepared illusion formation one by one.
As they entered, lights flashed, and the nine people transformed into flying insects about the size of bees.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that their bodies were thickly encased in armor, like metal shells, tough and unbreakable.
A buzzing sound emerged.
One of them spoke.
"We'll approach the island from nine different directions. Once on the island, each of us will explore our designated area. Note down any formations, powerful experts, or key items related to the island's fortune. Then, we'll rendezvous at the lake on the south side of the island before returning together."
"After we return, we'll report the situation to the Envoy and formulate a plan to conquer the island and avenge Tenth Brother!"
"Is that clear?"
"Understood!"
With a unified response, eight of the flying insects zoomed off at the speed of light.
The leader flew in front of the Destroyer of the World.
The Destroyer of the World was already amazed by this technique.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?" the Destroyer of the World asked respectfully.
"Remember, you must protect this illusion formation. If it's destroyed, we won't be able to return to our original forms. So no matter what, you can't leave for even a step."
The leader instructed solemnly.
"I understand. Please rest assured, I will guard it well!"
The Destroyer of the World nodded gravely.
"Good, I'll leave this to you. Wait here for our return!"
"Don't worry, sir. I won't leave until you return."
"I'll wait here no matter what!!!"
The Destroyer of the World clenched his fists and spoke resolutely.
After they left, the Destroyer of the World extended his senses to monitor the surroundings while sitting cross-legged.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Although all the fortune of the Immortal River Continent had been lost, his master hadn't blamed him.
After all, even the Envoy who came down to assist last time was obliterated by that mysterious black-robed person with a single punch, so it was understandable that he couldn't prevail.
Not only was he not blamed, but the new Envoy sent by his master also said that if he cooperated with the Ten Heavenly Enforcers to uncover the culprit, he would be rewarded with supreme opportunities.
Although these Ten Heavenly Enforcers had a rough start, immediately losing one member, this Illusion Magic technique seemed quite powerful.
Surely they would return soon!
Once they investigate the island thoroughly, they probably won't be far from completing the mission.
This means he's not far from receiving his master's supreme reward.
Ah, how wonderful!
All I need to do is sit here and wait.
The Destroyer of the World smiled from ear to ear.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
