"Could it be that my Dao Heart is flawless, so these inner demons can't affect me?"

"I really am just too strong."

Seeing this, Li Tianwei immediately figured out his own situation.

Clearly, this answer was correct. His Dao Heart was simply too powerful; these inner demons could not affect him in the slightest, and had nowhere to hide within his Divine Soul. They were not even as influential as an Evil Demon.

"Otherwise, how could this Inner Demon Tribulation be inferior even to the heavenly tribulation just now?!"

With that thought, Li Tianwei had already supplied them with an answer.

Seeing this bizarre situation, Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin could not possibly sit and wait for death. They immediately stirred their Divine Souls.

In an instant, they twisted and transformed, bursting forth with supreme radiance that illuminated Li Tianwei's sea of consciousness in the blink of an eye.

It would have been better if they had not illuminated it. Once they did, everything changed.

With a thunderous boom.

Li Tianwei had used the Vengeful Curse to connect to Heaven and Earth Grudge Power. Within the Taixu Forbidden Land, he had embraced all things and washed away the distracting thoughts of those Immortal Souls. What might be hidden in the sea of consciousness of his Divine Soul was entirely imaginable.

Just as Li Tianwei understood it, by the law of conservation of energy, after he had thoroughly cleansed and shed all those distracting thoughts and grudge power, something would inevitably settle upon him.

And that something had settled in Li Tianwei's sea of consciousness, in the depths of his Divine Soul.

After bearing so many such things, what would Li Tianwei's Divine Soul be like?

Once Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin's Divine Souls shone outward, both of them could not help but shudder.

Instinctively, they probed outward. It would have been better if they had not; the moment they did, the sight before their eyes—

Indistinct whispers, dense and varied distracting thoughts, the distracting thoughts of the Immortal Souls within the Taixu Forbidden Land, and the Heaven and Earth resentments from the Demonic Sect Land—all manner of scenes and strange phenomena emerged.

Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin witnessed visions that they had never seen before, despite living for thousands of years as Deity Transformation cultivators.

Evil resentment, vile forms, human aberrations, immortal transformations—strange bodies formed from endless, deep, shadowy, condensed combinations of all kinds.

Within the vast sea of stars lay boundless darkness, carrying the stench of utmost evil and utmost resentment. Before them unfolded scenes of the most evil, most demonic nature.

With just that one look, both of them felt themselves becoming stained. Yes, stained—specks appeared upon their Divine Souls, the kind that could not be shaken off no matter what they did.

"Ahhh! What in the world is this? The king of Evil Demons?"

"How can there be such an evil Divine Soul?"

"Could this Li Tianwei be an Evil Demon—a powerful, terrifying Evil Demon? Did he take the form of such a heavenly prodigy in order to invade this world?"

Feeling the changes and abnormalities in their bodies, Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing immediately realized that something seemed to be terribly wrong, and they could not help crying out.

Meanwhile, Li Tianwei, who had just been wondering how this Inner Demon Tribulation would unfold, had never expected these inner demons to be so foul-mouthed.

"The king of Evil Demons? I'm full of filth?"

"Damn inner demons, are you trying to plant such distracting thoughts in my heart?"

"You want to use this to ruin my Dao Heart? Damn bastards, scum..."

Li Tianwei's expression immediately turned cold, faint flames rising in his eyes.

"Damn it, that was actually quite effective. A few words were enough to stir my emotions. It seems my self-cultivation is still lacking."

"Worthy of inner demons."

Li Tianwei quickly calmed down, unable to keep himself from sighing.

"However, even inner demons cannot affect me like this. My cultivation comes from the Lingxu Sacred Land; it is the Righteous Law. Especially my current Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture—it can cleanse everything. How could it possibly be evil or wicked?!"

"So these inner demons must have a problem. They've already gone bad; they do not even know how to perform the most basic principles of an inner demon."

"Besides, shouldn't they be poking at the weakest part of my heart?"

"They call me an Evil Demon. Who would lose their composure from being called an Evil Demon? As such a righteous person, I am indeed very angry at being called an Evil Demon, but how could that be the weakest part of me?"

"So there must be something wrong with these inner demons."

Countless thoughts flashed through Li Tianwei's mind as he stared fixedly at the two inner demons.

"Damn inner demons, break for me!"

With a shift of Li Tianwei's consciousness, his vast, boundless Divine Soul surged under his command toward Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin.

Faced with Li Tianwei's bizarre Divine Soul, its faint influence, and its twisted contamination—

Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin's Deity Transformation Divine Souls became stained with dazzling colors at this moment, radiating a faint aura of utmost evil.

"Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture, tell them that you are the Evil Demons, the inner demons."

Li Tianwei silently recited, and amid the originally utmost yin, utmost evil presence, an aura of purity and cleanliness rose.

A layer of golden light appeared amid the twisted power, vast and pure.

Sensing this strange transformation, Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin could not understand what was happening.

Under that peculiar sensation of purity within evil, neither of them could comprehend how such a form had emerged.

Instead, it gave them the urge to throw themselves into it and take refuge in it.

"No, what kind of evil art is this? Strange—far too strange."

"Ling Tianwei is absolutely a great demon walking the world."

Seeing this, the two of them did not let up in the slightest, continuing to speak.

"How detestable. Such an Evil Demon is still stubbornly unrepentant, even trying to damage my Dao Heart."

"No, we absolutely cannot let them off easy. My Sacred Soul Banner just happens to be lacking main souls. These two are perfect—and they're heart demons too. If they become the main souls of the Sacred Soul Banner, they'll surely be able to contribute even more merit to heaven and earth, to Sentient Beings."

"I could kill them or spare them. I chose not to kill them. I truly am too kind."

Listening to the filthy abuse from these two, Ling Tianwei's heart churned a few times, but he swiftly calmed down again.

Ling Tianwei understood well the principle of examining oneself thrice a day. Just now, their filthy abuse had angered him, and he had even wanted to kill them. But Ling Tianwei quickly reflected on himself. He could not kill them.

Killing would solve nothing. Killing things like Evil Demons would only grant them release. Better to refine them into the Sacred Soul Banner and have them serve as main souls for a time. That way, they could still do a little more good for the world and earn merit.

Such immense kindness, such self-reflection—

Ling Tianwei considered himself a saint through and through.

"Only I can save heart demons."

Ling Tianwei let out a long sigh. Doing what others could not was precisely what a protagonist like him ought to do.

Meanwhile, Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin, whose Divine Souls had been tainted by the holy evil nature within Ling Tianwei's Divine Soul, had yet to fully unleash the methods they should have been able to wield at the Divine Transformation realm.

It could be said that if they had not used Divine Soul techniques and had fought Ling Tianwei outside, the outcome might have been far greater than it was now.

Unfortunately, who could have expected this?

Very soon, golden light rained down from the sky. Holiness and evil intertwined, and an eerie sensation of mutation slowly spread.

"I'm an Evil Demon, I'm a heart demon..."

"No, no..."

At this moment, Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin suddenly began to mutter.

Dark blotches had already appeared across their Divine Souls, even twisting them completely.

They themselves had not noticed this change.

As for Ling Tianwei, he was already taking out the Sacred Soul Banner.
