Why Does This Evil Demon Look Like That?

Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing's divine soul offensive had already invaded Li Tianwei's divine soul consciousness.

No matter how much they thought about it, they never would have imagined that what they had done to Li Tianwei would actually be taken by him as an Inner Demon Tribulation.

If the two of them knew, they would probably curse Li Tianwei bloody. How could there be someone like this?! Us Spirit Transformation stage cultivators had poured everything into killing you, yet you were still fucking thinking about this nonsense.

The power of the Extreme Good Lead Hua Scripture combined with the Heavenly Absolute Yin Fiend—one black, one white; one holy, one demonic—along with the terrifying mass and energy eruption of that Fusion Golden Core.

It truly carried the feeling of the great momentum of heaven and earth crushing down, shaking all things into annihilation.

Elder Fu Zhen, who had been battling Lan Yu, also sensed the eruption of that power, and his expression changed drastically.

Turning his head, he saw a black, sinister aura, like a great demon descending upon the world, yet those eyes held a trace of compassion.

Those two opposing powers had fused together just like that. No matter how one looked at it, it was incomparably bizarre.

But that was not what drew his attention most. The most eye-catching thing was the Golden Core hovering upright in midair, its rotations suppressing the power Li Tianwei had accumulated for the Nine-Five Supreme Heavenly Tribulation and the joint attack of Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing.

A hundred Dao intent inscriptions, absolute mass, and the energy contained within.

"This guy..."

Elder Fu Zhen could not help swallowing.

No matter how he thought about it, he could not imagine that he would feel the threat of death from a Golden Core cultivator.

With cultivators like those at the Golden Core Realm, his dharma form could suppress whole swathes of them with ease.

But Li Tianwei before him was simply too unreasonable. How had he produced a hundred kinds of Dao intent, not to mention that Golden Core so abnormal it had become utterly bizarre?

"Is that thing still a Golden Core?"

"Aren't they all supposed to be tiny little beads?"

Elder Fu Zhen dearly wanted to complain, but he still had to contend with Lan Yu, so he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart.

At this moment, he was already somewhat glad that they had dispatched three Spirit Transformation stage cultivators this time.

Moreover, these two Spirit Transformation cultivators had been relatively steady. They had not chosen to clash head-on with that Golden Core, instead choosing the areas where they held the advantage to contend against Li Tianwei.

The Golden Core was bizarre, and his spells were bizarre and powerful as well. They only had to avoid them.

No matter how terrifying his talent was, no matter how he had created such horrifying Golden Cores and abilities, he was ultimately only a cultivator who had cultivated for an extremely short time.

He could raise these spells and his cultivation frantically, but things like the divine soul and consciousness were the foundation. They required time and vast experience to improve. Surely he could not be so powerful in that regard as well, beyond all reason?

Seeing Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing use divine soul methods to strike at the source, Elder Fu Zhen truly breathed a sigh of relief.

If he possessed the experiences and awareness of people from Li Tianwei's world, he would probably silently give the two of them a thumbs-up. Teammates this cautious, who did not recklessly throw themselves away, were simply wonderful.

Compared to Elder Fu Zhen, Lan Yu's mood was far from pleasant.

Elder Fu Zhen's sudden attack had completely exceeded Lan Yu's expectations. Even the higher-ups of the Lingxu Sacred Land likely would not have imagined that they would dispatch three Spirit Transformation stage cultivators for Li Tianwei.

This was not several thousand years ago. In the present day, Spirit Transformation stage cultivators could not act freely without being affected by Evil Demons and heaven and earth; realms above that were even more heavily restricted.

Spirit Transformation was already the highest combat power. Sending three Spirit Transformation cultivators after a Golden Core cultivator was completely beyond expectations.

And how had they even known that Li Tianwei was currently in the Taixu Forbidden Land?

But this was no longer merely a matter involving the two great sacred lands. Perhaps even the Lingxu Sacred Land itself had developed a problem internally.

Facing Elder Fu Zhen's offensive, Lan Yu looked at the Heavenly Repelling Mirror in his hand. Coupled with Elder Fu Zhen's Peak Spirit Transformation strength, Lan Yu knew full well that even protecting himself would be a problem. As for protecting Li Tianwei, that was simply impossible.

If Li Tianwei had not revealed such astonishing ability, Lan Yu would have thought it was all over.

"Bastards! Shameless! As Spirit Transformation cultivators, you actually used such methods against a junior!"

Seeing Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing employ the power of their divine souls, Lan Yu's eyes blazed with fury as he immediately cursed.

Unfortunately, those words were utterly useless. Elder Fu Zhen continued pressing him down.

Crack, rumble...

Whether in Elder Fu Zhen's or Lan Yu's eyes, Li Tianwei's situation had already reached its inevitable end.

The gap between the Golden Core Realm and the Spirit Transformation stage was not merely one of cultivation, but also of the methods they could employ.

Golden Core cultivators had not even set foot in the domain of the divine soul, while Spirit Transformation cultivators could stand within that domain and crush Golden Core cultivators to death.

If this situation were described using terms from Li Tianwei's former world, it was high-dimensional against low-dimensional—a one-sided beating.

Of course, if Golden Core cultivators were truly like that, then Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing's choice had not been wrong in the slightest, using a power that Golden Core cultivators found difficult to touch to oppress him.

But that was under the premise that Li Tianwei was like an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, with his cultivation, spells, and comprehended powers all confined within that range.

As for whether Li Tianwei fell within that range—well, the benevolent saw benevolence, and the wise saw wisdom.

As the power of their divine souls descended into the depths of Li Tianwei's divine soul, Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin, deep within his consciousness, already had their answer.

A feeling of silence and sedimentation washed over them.

Both of them could not help stopping. At this moment, they had not even recovered from the shock of whether they had truly entered Li Tianwei's divine soul, his sea of consciousness.

It was simply too deep, too silent, like being trapped in the vast and boundless expanse of the divine soul domain.

Before long, a sea of stars appeared before them.

Ming Yin and Xu Yuqing were immediately frozen in place, unable to help tilting their heads up to stare.

"What exactly is going on? I remember that I entered Li Tianwei's sea of consciousness to erase his divine soul. Why is this place so strange?!"

Xu Yuqing asked involuntarily.

He had not realized at all that this was Li Tianwei's sea of consciousness, the depths of his divine soul.

After all, as Spirit Transformation cultivators, how could the two of them have imagined that a fellow who had only embarked upon the path of cultivation for a few years would not only have cultivation, abilities, and talent transcending everything, but even a divine soul that had undergone a qualitative change into an entirely different level?

As for why Li Tianwei's divine soul was so vast and his sea of consciousness so magnificent.

Li Tianwei would give only one answer: wasn't this how it should be?

From the moment he stepped into cultivation, he had used the Fission Qi Gathering Method, experienced enlightenment at every moment, absorbed Heaven and Earth Grudge Power, and taken in the immense energy within the Proximity to the Dao Land.

He had even purified the stray thoughts within an Immortal Soul.

After all those trials, aside from raising his cultivation, was it not perfectly normal for his divine soul to grow stronger and his sea of consciousness to expand?

Could it be that your cultivation was not all like this?

Naturally, Li Tianwei did not know of the two men's confusion. At this moment, he too stared at Xu Yuqing and Ming Yin with a baffled expression.

"Do Inner Demons look like this?"

"Shouldn't they look exactly like me and say things to shake my dao heart?"

"Why does one look like an old man, while the other looks evil all over?"

"Evil Demons look stronger than they do."

Li Tianwei sized them up from head to toe, question marks practically popping up above his head.
