Chapter 892 - 466: This Is a True Divine Skill (3)
A male voice came from inside the door: "I’ll open the door and let you in immediately."
"Click~"
The door opened.
An Antai male poked his head out, merely glanced, and was frightened to death.
The green mantis suddenly opened its mandibles, a shadow flickered, and another prey fell to the ground motionless.
At this point, the scene was frozen.
Yang Fan’s voice was steady: "The green mantis can emit a very potent poison dart.
"Even for an early stage warrior, just one jab can paralyze the entire body, turning them into a feast for the green mantis.
"Thus, when each civilization world develops the Sobbing Green Sea, it is repeatedly emphasized, ’Do not easily trust any sound you hear.’
"Now, I am demonstrating the hunting process of the green mantis so you remember this point."
The officers, hearing this, looked at the insect monster with fear in their eyes.
*
Antai Kingdom.
Yang Fan was floating mid-air, his mind stirred again.
"Buzz~"
The faint silver magic thread trembled, sending a message to the green mantis.
Something immediately stirred inside the building.
"Please, help me!"
Came from inside a room.
Accompanied by footsteps, a green-shelled insect monster covered with spikes, its body filled with patterns, entered the corridor.
Its mandibles held a human head, while constantly emitting cries for help.
In fact.
This green mantis had already fallen to an illusion technique.
The Venerable, Wan Eye Black Sand King, who possessed the Eye of the Fallen King, had the most powerful ability — illusion technique.
The myriad illusions of the Demon Eye had been further enhanced.
As a top-grade superpower, its illusion technique surpassed the ordinary superpower user’s comprehension.
Normal illusion techniques consume one’s own spiritual power, affecting the brain of the target to construct a false world.
But the myriad illusions of the Demon Eye is a terrifying soul illusion that can quietly plant a myriad illusions mark in the target’s soul, continually consuming the target’s soul power to construct a soul illusion.
In other words, once the soul illusion is activated, the caster no longer needs to consume spiritual power, and the soul illusion will persist until the target’s soul is exhausted.
From another perspective, once caught in a soul illusion, it is equivalent to becoming a soul puppet completely controlled by the caster.
The most terrifying part of the fallen Wan Eye Black Sand King was that it controlled an enormous number of soul puppets.
At this moment.
Yang Fan extended a hand, gently touching the faint silver magic thread.
The green mantis’s form suddenly froze.
Its soul power began to rapidly flow out along the magic thread.
A breath later.
The green mantis’s soul was exhausted and it silently died.
Yang Fan checked his spirit attributes.
Spirit Value: 1632+34
The former value "1632" is his own mental level.
The latter value "34" is the spiritual power he "borrowed," i.e., the temporarily increased spiritual power from extracting soul power.
Since it was not his own power, over time, this part of the spiritual power would gradually dissipate.
Yang Fan sensed for a moment, showing a look of admiration: "With my current superpower level, I can borrow approximately 40% of my own spiritual power, which is equivalent to raising my combat power significantly out of thin air."
40% of one’s own spiritual power is roughly equivalent to 650 points of Spirit Value, adding up to nearly 2300 points of Spirit Value.
And the stronger the spiritual power, the greater the superpower’s potency and the more powerful the combat power exhibited.
He realized another point: "No wonder the Wan Eye Black Sand King had the capability to ascend to Venerable!"
Ascending to Venerable requires a basic threshold of 10000 points of Spirit Value.
However, to comprehend the Law, 10000 points of spiritual power is not enough; many Venerables cultivate to 13,000 or even 14,000 points before successfully comprehending the Law.
There is also a problem within this.
A knight’s Spirit Value cannot increase indefinitely; the greater the Spirit Value, the more difficult cultivation becomes due to bottleneck limitations.
There is a saying among all civilization worlds that a knight’s spiritual limit is 15,000 points, and no knight has ever broken this limit.
But the myriad illusions of the Demon Eye overturned everything.
This top-grade superpower can extract soul power to break the limit, thereby greatly increasing the success rate of ascension.
In some sense, this is a true divine skill.
Even strong ones at the Venerable level would covet it endlessly.

Ten minutes later.
Yang Fan gently flapped his fiery wings, watching as four fifth-generation fighter jets, Yao Long, swept past from the front.
Each aircraft did a barrel roll as it passed in front, a salute to the top powerhouse of Great Xia.
According to the mutual assistance treaty of the Pioneer Alliance, the Great Xia Air Force dispatched dozens of fighter jets to support.
Yang Fan’s sight jumped, locking onto the Antai Palace tens of kilometers away.
This palace was built over two centuries ago and has been continuously expanded over generations, ultimately becoming a massive building complex with a total area exceeding 200,000 square meters.
Due to the palace gathering the essence of Antai people’s art in architecture, painting, sculpture, and decoration, it is also known as the "Pearl of Antai Art."
Before the Age of Calamity, the royal family, to show a people-friendly attitude and to promote tourism, opened parts of the palace to the public.
After the Age of Calamity, the palace was closed down again and no longer open to the public.
Officials explained to the public that the current dangers were too numerous, and to ensure the safety of the royal family, they suspended the opening.
Yang Fan knew, however, that the current king of the Antai Kingdom was not a contented fellow.
This person, named Maga, was already over seventy years old,
and to live longer, as well as to awaken superpowers to enjoy more luxurious life, this king secretly ordered people to carry out many dirty live experiments in the palace.
This was the real reason the palace stopped opening to the public.
There were some rumors in certain circles that King Maga had contacted the Carmenians, attempting to participate in a blood sacrifice ceremony to extend his life.
But Great Xia "flipped the table" once, devastating the Carmenia Federation and publicly stating a severe crackdown on blood sacrifices, forcing the king to reluctantly abandon his plan.
