94: Virtual-Real Conversion

At this moment, on the walls on both sides of the corridor, several gloomy oil paintings had appeared at some unknown time.

The scenes in the oil paintings were dim, and their content was blurry.

Suddenly, two blurred white figures flashed across the painting, and then, they appeared from the edge of another oil painting, flashing past.

It was as if they had, out of thin air, shuttled from one oil painting to another adjacent one.

Immediately after.

From the oil painting closest to the strange humanoid figure, half a body suddenly sprang out.

They were two children, sculpted Li Ke jade, resembling porcelain dolls.

One male and one female.

Their faces were smeared with bright red circular blush, and their smiles were brilliant, yet they exuded a chilling eeriness.

“Hehehe…”

“Giggle giggle…”

Crisp laughter echoed in the silent corridor.

The Spirit boy and girl simultaneously extended their small hands and grabbed the shoulders of the strange female humanoid.

Before the other party could react, they pulled sharply.

They forcibly dragged her into the oil painting.

The corridor returned to silence.

The next day, as dawn gradually broke, the morning sun, filtered through the study window, fell upon Li Ke's face.

The swirling, twisting black humanoid figures around him gradually dispersed.

They ultimately transformed into strands of extremely pure Devilish Qi, silently merging into Li Ke's body.

Li Ke slowly opened his eyes.

A faint dark divine light flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.

In an instant, the light in the entire room seemed to dim for a moment, then returned to normal.

He slightly lowered his gaze, looking at his palm.

The crystalline core of the abyss worm, which was originally murky, had now turned pale gray.

With a slight movement of Li Ke's fingertip, the pale gray crystal made a “rustling” sound, turning into a pile of fine white dust, which quietly slipped from between his fingers and scattered on the ground.

After a night of refinement, the vast Soul Power contained within this crystal had been completely absorbed by him.

Li Ke could clearly feel that his Divine Soul power had more than doubled compared to before.

The crystalline core of the abyss worm contained a massive amount of chaotic will and negative energy Impurities mixed with Soul Power.

When ordinary Clairvoyance refined and absorbed it, even with the aid of precise arcane arrays for guidance and purification, a large amount of loss was inevitable.

The effective components that could ultimately be absorbed were probably less than forty percent.

However, Li Ke, relying on the [Summoning Demon Scripture], could refine all the energy within it, with a utilization rate of almost one hundred percent.

The effect of one crystallized core was enough to be worth more than two for others.

The resulting improvement was naturally immense.

Li Ke's consciousness sank deep into his Sea of Consciousness.

With the surge in Divine Soul power, deep within his Divine Soul, the previously hazy red pavilion, now had a large section of its mist dissipated.

The outline of the fourth-floor pavilion was revealed with extreme clarity.

Phantom Building Fist, had finally returned to the fourth Realm.

Li Ke's expression suddenly became serious.

The next moment, his sleeves fluttered, and countless pitch-black paper butterflies flew out.

A phantom wave, centered on him, suddenly spread outwards.

In an instant, the surrounding space transformed into a state of Chaos.

Tables, chairs, the study, the entire Charles Castle... everything disappeared.

Everything fell into a terrifying illusion, with a sense of all things sinking.

This was not just a simple illusion.

If Li Ke wished, he could truly transform this illusion into reality, effectively turning the entire Charles Castle, along with everything within it, into nothingness.

Phantom Building Fist's fourth level meant that the first Realm, “Mirage Scene,” had reached Perfection.

From then on, he possessed the terrifying ability to convert between reality and illusion.

At this stage, Phantom Building Fist, this top-tier Demonic Path Legacy, finally began to display its true terrifying power.

Li Ke waved his sleeve again.

The next moment, the surrounding Chaos and Void Realm rapidly receded.

The study returned to its previous appearance, as if nothing had happened.

Li Ke had a smile on his lips. With a slight thought, the Red Dust White Bone Nail silently flew out from within his body, hovering before him.

Upon the bone nail, the illusory figures of the Three Aunts Six Grannies Nine Ghosts were coiled, their nine bizarre and terrifying faces looking around.

Li Ke extended a finger.

Upon his fingertip, a wisp of extremely viscous, black Qi, wriggling Li Ke a living creature, slowly condensed.

This was a highly pure negative energy Impurities, forcibly refined and stripped from the crystalline core of the abyss worm by the [Summoning Demon Scripture].

Although these Impurities could also be forcibly transformed into Devilish Qi by the [Summoning Demon Scripture], the cost-effectiveness was not high.

And this extremely pure negative energy was precisely the best growth nourishment for the Three Aunts Six Grannies Nine Ghosts.

Indeed, with the appearance of this wisp of viscous black Qi, the nine faces of the Three Aunts Six Grannies Nine Ghosts on the Red Dust White Bone Nail, which were originally looking around, immediately froze in unison.

Eighteen eyes instantly stared fixedly at Li Ke's fingertip.

Its gaze swayed back and forth with the slight movement of Li Ke's fingertip.

The next moment, it frantically circled on the white bone nail, Li Ke a mad snake, wanting to rush towards Li Ke's fingertip, but was restricted by the white bone nail.

Seeing this, Li Ke smiled slightly.

He flicked his finger, gently casting that wisp of viscous, pitch-black negative energy into the Red Dust White Bone Nail.

The white bone nail instantly fell silent upon contact with that wisp of black Qi.

In the air, faint, subtle sucking sounds could be heard, as well as countless tiny, dense curses filled with malice and resentment.

On the Red Dust White Bone Nail, the already dense aura of malevolence instantly increased by at least thirty percent.

At the same time.

In the corridor on the first floor of Charles Manor, the butler, Barton, was meticulously hanging a brand new oil painting on the wall.

The oil painting depicted a tall humanoid figure holding a large pair of scissors.

From the silhouette, it appeared to be a female.

However, her entire body was shrouded in a thick layer of black Qi, making her specific appearance unclear.

Just as Li Ke was creating the Void Realm illusion in his study, Barton, who was adjusting the position of the oil painting, suddenly stiffened slightly.

An indescribable sense of immense crisis, without any warning, enveloped the entire Charles Castle, as if in the next moment, everything within it would be completely annihilated, ceasing to exist.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor, the previously still oil paintings all began to tremble slightly.

But then, Barton discerned that this terrifying aura came from Li Ke in the study on the second floor.

Barton slowly raised a hand and gently pressed it against the Void Realm.

The Sealing Demon Spirit Feeding Secret Method was quietly activated.

Through the symbiotic connection established with countless nightmares in the ethereal Realm, all the restless nightmares were quickly pacified.

Soon, the terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire Charles Castle receded Li Ke a tide.

Barton sensed that the familiar and powerful aura in the study on the second floor had stabilized.

His master had finished his cultivation.

He pondered for a moment, then took down the new oil painting depicting the woman with scissors, which he had just hung on the wall.

Then, Barton turned around and unhurriedly walked towards the second floor.
