163: Chapter 163 The Ancient Path to Ascension: Wealth and Prosperity Deceive Immortals and Demons

This was a sensation Lin Feng had never experienced before.

Fast!

Incredibly fast!

Everything around him turned into multicolored streaks of light, receding frantically. Time and space lost all meaning here.

This wasn't Earth-Shrinking Step; this was true spatial traversal, an Ascension across worlds!

"Blech..."

Lin Feng was doing fine, as his Indestructible Asura Body had long since tempered his physical form to the absolute limit of this realm.

But Huang Fugui, cradled in his arms, was already vomiting uncontrollably.

That wretched face of a Yellow Weasel Demon was now deathly pale.

Even a Ninth-Rank Demon Emperor's Physique, within this terrifying Ascension passage,

felt like it had been on three hundred consecutive roller coaster loops; his internal organs were in complete turmoil.

"Master... are we... blech... are we there yet?"

"Shut up!"

Lin Feng's expression was more solemn than ever before.

He suddenly looked back.

Rumble!

Behind him, less than ten thousand miles away!

Two terrifying wills that made one's breath hitch were locked onto him!

One was holy and profound as an abyss!

One was tyrannical as hell itself!

Immortal Yuheng!

One-Armed Heavenly Demon!

They had caught up!

"Damn it, they're like lingering ghosts!"

Lin Feng cursed under his breath.

He could clearly feel that within this Ascension passage, those two were no longer suppressed by the rules of the Lower Realm!

Their power, their speed, their broken Immortal and Demon bodies...

were recovering at a rate visible to the naked eye!

They were getting stronger!

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was getting weaker!

The power of the Lower Realm was being gradually suppressed after entering this ancient path.

As they waxed, he waned!

"Crawl! Do you think you can escape?!"

Immortal Yuheng's cold voice seemed to traverse space, echoing within Lin Feng's Soul.

"On this Ancient Ascension Path, I am the Heavens!"

Boom!

A beam of Immortal light ignored the distance and, like a maggot on a bone, came crashing down!

"Myriad Laws Return to Void!"

Lin Feng swung his blade back, channeling the last of his internal power to shatter the Immortal light!

But his entire body was shaken, his blood surged, and his speed inevitably slowed by a fraction.

"Jie jie jie! Run! Why aren't you running anymore?!"

The One-Armed Heavenly Demon's ten-thousand-foot demonic form rampaged through the passage. His sole remaining demonic palm reached out toward Lin Feng from across the void!

"Demon Descends Upon the World!"

That palm expanded rapidly in Lin Feng's eyes, as if it intended to crush this entire ancient path!

"Fugui! Hold on tight!"

Lin Feng pressed Huang Fugui tightly against his chest and used Earth-Shrinking Step, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the demonic palm!

But the aftershock from the palm's passage still sent him flying!

"Pfft!"

Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it!

He couldn't keep fighting!

If this continued, he would be ground down to death by these two locals before he even finished ascending!

What was even more critical was that Lin Feng discovered...

This Ancient Ascension Path actually...

had a fork in the road!

Up ahead, a massive vortex of spatial turbulence appeared!

The ancient path split into two here!

One was relatively stable and shimmering with faint light.

The other was pitch black as ink, leading into unknown darkness and chaos.

"Master!"

Fugui saw it too. His instinct, which was linked to Lin Feng's Luck, was screaming frantically!

"To the left! Master! The left is the path of life! That vortex on the right... is the path of death!"

"Good!"

Without a second thought, Lin Feng prepared to charge toward the path of life on the left!

However...

"Trying to leave?"

Immortal Yuheng's cold voice rang out once more!

He had seen through Lin Feng's intentions!

An even more brilliant beam of Immortal light struck out, unerringly and directly, toward that...

path of life on the left!

"Boom!"

The path of life was...

shattered by the Immortal light!

"..."

Lin Feng's figure froze in place.

A dead end ahead, and pursuers behind.

Immortal Yuheng and the One-Armed Heavenly Demon slowly closed in, cruel smiles on their faces like cats playing with a mouse.

"Now, crawler."

Yuheng said indifferently, "Do you have any last words?"

Lin Feng's chest heaved violently.

Was he... really going to die here?

He couldn't accept this!

"Master!"

Just as Lin Feng was prepared to fight to the death and throw all his trump cards,

a trembling voice, tinged with a sob, interrupted him.

Fugui, who was in his arms, suddenly broke free from his embrace.

"Fugui?"

Lin Feng was stunned.

He saw that on Fugui's wretched Yellow Weasel Demon face,

there was no longer any fear or fawning.

There was only a trace of...

a resolve that Lin Feng had seen once before.

"Master."

Fugui turned around, his small beady eyes looking deeply at Lin Feng as he wept.

"This lowly one... to be able to follow you in this life..."

"It was worth it."

"Starting from Qingyang County, I should have died back then."

"When I was beaten to a pulp by that Wei Yuan, I should have died then too."

"It was you, Master, who brought me along to enjoy the best of life, and even... even let me become a Ninth-Rank Demon Emperor..."

Fugui choked up, his body beginning to glow faintly.

"I am afraid of death, but I am even more afraid of you dying, Master..."

"My... my only use is probably this life of mine and this Luck you bestowed upon me."

"Fugui! Don't you dare!"

An ominous premonition rose in Lin Feng's heart once again!

He reached out to grab him!

"Master!"

Fugui suddenly turned his head and gave Lin Feng a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Master!"

"In the next life!"

"I... will still be your Yellow Weasel Demon!"

The moment those words fell!

Huang Fugui, this "mascot" who had followed Lin Feng since Qingyang County,

this greedy, lecherous, cowardly, yet incredibly loyal yellow weasel,

he moved!

He didn't charge at the Heavenly Demon, nor at the Immortal.

He charged toward...

Lin Feng!

"Puncture!"

He bit down hard on Lin Feng's arm!

"You!"

Lin Feng was furious and was about to slap him away!

However, this bite from Fugui was not an attack!

It was...

"Luck... Transfer!"

Buzz!!!!

Huang Fugui's Origin as a Ninth-Rank Demon Emperor and that purest Luck, which was connected to the Wuan Dynasty's national destiny, burned frantically at this moment!

He forcibly transferred all of his Luck to Lin Feng, regardless of the consequences!

"No!!!"

Lin Feng's eyes nearly split from grief!

"Master! Remember to avenge me!"

Huang Fugui suddenly let go, and his golden fur turned white inch by inch at this moment!

His body was rapidly... aging!

"Immortal Realm scum! Demon Realm trash!"

Huang Fugui, this little Yellow Weasel Demon, actually mimicked Lin Feng's manner at this moment and let out the most majestic roar of his life at those two divine and demonic beings!

"Your Grandpa Huang... is here!"

He suddenly turned around, transforming into a streak of dusky light!

Without looking back, he charged into that...

void where the path of life on the left had been shattered by Immortal Yuheng!

"No!!!!"

Immortal Yuheng and the One-Armed Heavenly Demon let out roars of shock and anger simultaneously!

That ant... committed suicide?!

No!

They suddenly turned their heads to look at Lin Feng!

They saw Lin Feng's body, after receiving the sacrifice of Huang Fugui's Luck, being forcibly pushed toward the other path by that massive force of vitality!

That...

massive dead end filled with spatial turbulence leading to the right, which Huang Fugui had judged by instinct!

The dead end!

"Master!!"

"The right... was actually... the path of life!!!"

"I... could only... deceive them... this far..."

"Boom!!!!!"

Huang Fugui's weak, final Divine Thought slowly echoed in Lin Feng's mind.

Immediately after!

The moment he charged into the left side, he detonated himself!

It wasn't a self-detonation of flesh and blood, but the ultimate detonation of a living being's Luck!

The power of that explosion even caused the entire Ancient Ascension Path to tremble!

He used his own life and his innate talent as a yellow weasel to set one last trap!

He had deceived the Immortal and the Demon.

He used his own death to exchange for that one-in-a-million chance of survival for Lin Feng!

That final Divine Thought did not dissipate.

Instead, it was completely swallowed by the void triggered by that explosion of Luck!

"FUGUI!!!!!"

Lin Feng's roar resounded throughout the entire Ancient Ascension Path!

His figure was violently thrust into that endless dark vortex by the force of vitality!
