155: Extraterritorial Demon

The fury in Hong Fu’s eyes ultimately vanished before Lin Feng’s absolute strength.

She tried to speak, but found her throat constricted as if by an invisible hand, unable to utter even a single syllable.

A sense of humiliation surged, but what followed was an even deeper feeling of powerlessness.

Lin Feng watched her finally quiet down before slowly speaking.

“Red拂 Shishu, I did not intend to offend you.”

His voice returned to calm, echoing within the sound-insulating Formation.

“It’s just that your Heart Demon has already arisen, and you are stubbornly deluded. If you Undergo Tribulation in this state, there will only be one outcome: the destruction of your Physical Body and Dao.”

Hong Fu’s chest heaved as she gasped for breath, her gaze still defiant, tinged with a self-deprecating sneer.

She said nothing and did not look at him, her expression as if saying, what does death matter?

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed.

Something was wrong.

Hong Fu’s personality was stubborn, even somewhat fanatical, but she was not as foolish as she appeared now.

Survival was a Cultivator’s instinct; her current desire for death went beyond the scope of a mere Heart Demon.

Moreover, she had two Disciples whom she cherished as much as her own life.

A subtle golden light flickered in Lin Feng’s eyes.

Thunder Eye!

His gaze penetrated Hong Fu’s Physical Body, directly falling upon her Dantian and Sea of Consciousness.

Her Dantian was full of Qi, with no abnormalities.

But when his gaze fell upon her Sea of Consciousness, he discovered a faint wisp of black Qi, almost integrated with her Divine Soul.

That black Qi was extremely well-hidden; if not for the Thunder Eye’s innate ability to discern evil entities, it would have been impossible to detect, even with repeated Divine Sense probes.

“Could it be an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon…?”

Lin Feng’s heart sank.

Hong Fu had actually been infiltrated by an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon before her Undergoing Tribulation.

This matter was a bit tricky.

He extended his finger, and a slender purple electric arc danced at its tip.

Grand Purity Divine Lightning.

This Lightning was a supreme divine art of the Dao Sect, specifically countering all evil demons and heterodox paths.

However, the Sea of Consciousness was the Cultivator’s most vulnerable foundation; a slight mishap, and Hong Fu would suffer the fate of her Divine Soul being utterly destroyed.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment. Seeing that the wisp of black Qi was still slowly eroding Hong Fu’s consciousness, he could no longer wait.

He had to ensure absolute certainty, a single decisive blow, not allowing this Heavenly Demon any chance to escape or retaliate.

He flipped his palm, and a golden Talisman, shimmering with iridescent light, appeared in his hand.

Advanced Spirit-Descent Talisman!

“By decree!”

Lin Feng let out a low cry, slapping the Talisman onto his chest.

Boom!

A surge of pure spiritual power, like a flood released from a dam, surged out from the Talisman, pouring into his limbs and bones.

His aura rapidly climbed, instantly breaking through the barrier of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Nascent Soul Late Stage!

Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak!

Nascent Soul Late Stage Perfection!

Torrential spiritual power filled Lin Feng’s entire body. Lin Feng even felt that if he just took one small step forward, he could touch the profound Realm of the Soul Transformation Stage.

He understood in his heart that if his own cultivation could reach Nascent Soul Middle Stage Perfection, with the help of this Talisman, he might truly be able to briefly step into the Soul Transformation Realm.

However, for now, this power was sufficient.

Lin Feng extended a finger and pointed it at Hong Fu’s glabella.

Vast magical power instantly surged in, allowing him to temporarily gain complete control of Hong Fu’s body.

At the same time, he separated a wisp of Divine Sense, carefully enveloping that wisp of Grand Purity Divine Lightning, and probed into Hong Fu’s Sea of Consciousness.

Upon entering, he saw that the Sea of Consciousness was a hazy gray.

A wisp of black mist was coiled in the center of the Sea of Consciousness, like a drop of ink in clear water, slowly spreading outwards.

Hong Fu’s true Divine Soul was being contaminated by this black mist, little by little, becoming dim and lusterless.

Lin Feng’s Divine Sense quietly approached. The black mist seemed completely unaware, still carrying out its grand task of erosion.

Now!

Lin Feng’s thoughts stirred, and the Divine Sense enveloping the Divine Lightning suddenly dispersed.

That wisp of golden Grand Purity Divine Lightning suddenly erupted in the dim Sea of Consciousness, transforming into a bolt of lightning that tore through the darkness!

Chii!

The black mist didn’t even have time to react before it was instantly pierced by that golden lightning bolt.

There was no scream, no struggle.

The wisp of black mist rapidly dissolved in the lightning, leaving not a single trace.

Puff!

A muffled sound came from Hong Fu’s Sea of Consciousness. The moment the black mist dissipated, her tensed body suddenly went limp, collapsing towards the ground.

Lin Feng was quick-witted. He took a step forward, supported her, and embraced her.

Just as his Divine Sense retreated, a chilling, venomous voice, as if from the netherworld, directly sounded in the depths of his mind.

“A mere Cultivator from the Human Realm, daring to ruin this venerable one’s good deed!”

“When you Undergo Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation, this venerable one will personally come to ensure you are eternally lost in your Heart Demon, never to recover!”

The voice was ethereal and untraceable, as if coming directly from the Void Realm.

Lin Feng’s eyes turned cold.

Seeking death!

He snorted coldly, no longer holding back in the slightest.

Boom!

Centered on him, countless dazzling Grand Purity Divine Lightning bolts appeared out of thin air, and the violent power of the Lightning instantly filled the entire Formation space.

Golden electric snakes danced wildly, transforming every inch of space into a purgatory of Lightning.

“Ah ah ah!!”

From the Void Realm, an extremely shrill scream echoed.

“This venerable one remembers you! You just wait for this venerable one!!”

The scream stopped abruptly, and the chilling demonic voice completely disappeared with it.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling the sky-filling Divine Lightning and putting away the Spirit-Descent Talisman on his chest.

The surging power receded like a tide, and he returned to his Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation.

He looked down at Hong Fu, who was pale and had her eyes closed in his arms, and couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.

He had come to help, but who would have thought that by solving a problem for his future mother-in-law, he would instead attract an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

He was having the same kind of encounter as Old Devil Han.

After all this was done, he first sent a message to Nangong Wan, Cheng Tiankun, and Lv Luo outside the Formation.

“Senior Sister Nangong, Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Lu, Hong Fu is fine now. Please dismiss the others.”

The three who received the message were all stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.

Cheng Tiankun and Lv Luo exchanged glances, then immediately turned around and loudly told all the Core Formation Elders and Disciples to disperse first.

Once only the three of them remained on Hongfu Peak, Lin Feng then, with a thought, dispelled the sound-insulating Formation that enveloped the two of them.

He walked out slowly, holding the unconscious Hong Fu.

“Lin Feng, this…” Nangong Wan quickly stepped forward, looking at Hong Fu in his arms, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

“Hong Fu was previously disturbed by a Heart Demon, and her mind was somewhat unclear.”

Lin Feng handed Hong Fu in his arms to Nangong Wan.

“Now that the Heart Demon has been removed, it’s just that her Divine Soul has been greatly depleted. Let her rest well and adjust her state before Undergoing Tribulation; it’s not too late.”

As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a jade bottle and three Talismans, glowing with iridescent light, appeared in his hand, which he handed to Nangong Wan.

“This bottle of Medicinal Pills can help her stabilize her mind and restore her Divine Soul.”

“These three [Tribulation-Resisting Talismans] can be activated when the Heavenly Tribulation descends, to help her withstand some of the Lightning Tribulation’s power.”

He paused, then added, “It should increase the success rate of Undergoing Tribulation by about fifty percent.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Tiankun and Lv Luo, who were standing nearby, were immediately stunned.

Fifty percent?!

Their eyes almost popped out, staring intently at the three Talismans in Nangong Wan’s hand, their breathing becoming heavy.

When the two of them Underwent Nascent Soul Tribulation back then, which one of them wasn’t on the brink of death?

The Sect had exhausted its resources, prepared countless Magic Treasures and Medicinal Pills, yet they still barely survived the Lightning Tribulation, losing half their lives, and only succeeded by a hair’s breadth.

Now Lin Feng casually took out three Talismans and dared to say they could increase the success rate by fifty percent?

The minority obeys the majority, so Hong Fu won't be taken in~
