Chapter 2246: Wraiths
Even Lin Feng and his group, when facing the collective attack of millions of demon emperors, might still be unable to withstand it. However, their speed was extremely fast, especially the Qinghai Roc, whose unmatched speed at the Great Emperor realm was terrifying. Even when charging into the demon horde, no demon beast attack could land on him in a group. Every time his wings flashed, a demon emperor would inevitably fall.
The venom spewed by the Heze Python gradually gathered and condensed, turning into a terrifying poisonous gas that enveloped many demon emperors. When those poisonous gases exploded, all the demon beasts inside had already died, their massive bodies even rotting away, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
"Roar!" The furious roar of demon beasts soared into the sky. Lin Feng carried the Death Formation and surged forward, hundreds of thousands of Death Brands enveloping the formation's light, sweeping everything in their path. Wherever they passed, countless demons fell.
"Die." Lin Feng's eyes locked onto a demon emperor. The demon emperor's body instantly turned ashen, his life force being drained away as his body plummeted downward. A single glance was enough to cause his death and fall. Lin Feng's gaze continuously shot out beams of death light, and no demon beast could block him. The powerful beings who had arrived were slaughtering the demons with a sweeping momentum. Soon, the dense horde of demon beasts gradually thinned out, until the bodies piled up on the ground, forming mountains of corpses that seemed to stain the earth red, a shocking sight.
"Such a terrifying horde of demon beasts right after entering. I wonder what other dreadful obstacles we'll face." Although Lin Feng and the others advanced in a slaughtering manner, they did not feel the slightest bit of relief. On the contrary, their expressions were somewhat solemn. This was only the beginning. If such a large number of demon beasts were outside, they could form a terrifying demon emperor legion. How did the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings gather such a massive horde of demon beasts?
"Bai Yu, Bai Di once set foot here before his death. It is said that he entered the Ten Thousand Demon Kings' Sacred Domain. In your opinion, can we successfully pass through the Ten Thousand Demon Kings' territory and step into the Ten Thousand Demon Kings' Sacred Domain?" At this moment, the Dark Gold Pupil King's eerie eyes stared at Bai Yu as he asked.
"Since we're already here, won't we find out by continuing forward?" Bai Yu said indifferently, stepping forward again. The others' expressions flickered, and they followed her footsteps. Before long, a terrifying resentment permeated the space ahead, as if it truly came from an ancient land of death where countless powerful beings had fallen. The endless space showed no signs of demon beasts, but occasionally ghost fires flickered, accompanied by faint wails that sent chills down one's spine.
"What kind of damned place is this outside the Ten Thousand Demon Kings' territory?" Qing Yi felt a slight chill and cursed under his breath. The feeling ahead was as if countless lonely spirits and wild ghosts had gathered an infinite amount of resentment, causing their steps to hesitate slightly.
"Should we take a detour?" Qing Yi muttered again.
"Take a detour yourself." Bai Yu didn't look at him, only replying, causing Qing Yi's face to stiffen. His expression turned very unpleasant, but he could only brace himself and move forward. The reason he wanted to take a detour was that his intuition told him this place was extremely dangerous.
The group of people and demon beasts stepped onto that ethereal land. Immediately, they felt the resentment growing stronger and stronger. Even specks of light began to climb up along their legs, wrapping around them as if trying to crawl onto their bodies.
"What the hell is this?" the Heze Python cursed under his breath, spitting out a mouthful of poison gas, causing the white specks of light to disappear.
"There might be wraiths here, and in extremely large numbers." Tino calmly uttered a sound, and the crowd fell silent. Wraiths.
"Ah..." A cry of surprise rang out. Suddenly, an infinite amount of white light surged onto Qing Yi's body, instantly engulfing him, startling him into a shout.
"Get lost!" Qing Yi released an endless amount of demonic aura. Invisible wind blades slashed out from his body, stirring up a green hurricane. The white specks of light gradually decreased until they disappeared. However, a strange white light flickered in Qing Yi's eyes.
"Die." Qing Yi closed his eyes tightly, as if fighting on a spiritual level. After a moment, he opened his eyes, returning to normal, though his eyes seemed even more eerie.
"They are resentful spirits and evil spirits. Such a vast amount of resentment and malice—they can devour our consciousness. Be careful." Qing Yi said in a low voice. The others understood in their hearts and continued to step forward. Every step seemed to be a teleportation, flickering through the void. But the more they did so, the faster the white light climbed onto them. Soon, Lin Feng felt many invisible resentful spirits and evil spirits trying to rush into his body, as if attempting to occupy his mind.
Lin Feng's mind also seemed to be generating terrible resentment, a desire to kill. He felt a sense of unwillingness, an infinite anger, being subtly influenced.
"All of you, get out!" Lin Feng's body turned ashen, as if he had become a dead man. Hundreds of thousands of Death Brands rushed into every part of his body. The Great Accomplishment Dao and Death Brands directly erased those resentful and evil spirits, making it impossible for them to survive under this Dao might.
Lin Feng and the others gradually quickened their pace. However, this space seemed extremely vast, stretching endlessly.
"This resentment is endless. Even if we can erase all the resentful and evil spirits, we will still be affected by that thought." Lin Feng thought to himself. Just then, a terrifying white wraith rushed into his mind, charging straight at his soul.
"Get lost!" Within Lin Feng's soul, countless Death Brands surged out, smashing into the wraith. However, the wraith seemed to let out a terrifying shriek, spewing endless white resentment that clashed with the power of death. At the same time, countless strands of white resentment drilled into every corner of Lin Feng's mind.
Lin Feng's heart trembled. An endless stream of Death Brands frantically besieged those resentments. The wraith that had drilled into his mind seemed to be a very powerful wraith king, trying to occupy his soul.
"Kill!" Countless Death Tribulation Swords stabbed out. Lin Feng's soul had undergone countless tribulations and also carried the power of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation. The pitch-black lightning swords were extremely terrifying, shattering strands of resentment while all of them pounced on the wraith.
The wraith let out a mournful wail, as if trying to escape. However, Lin Feng would not allow it to flee. His divine thoughts surged, the Divine Mind Palace suppressed, and the Death Brands along with the terrifying demon tribulation power attacked simultaneously, surrounding the wraith. Until the wraith exploded, turning into countless specks of light that tried to drill into Lin Feng's mind again. One Death Brand after another branded onto them, erasing all the scattered resentments. Only after wiping them clean did Lin Feng breathe a slight sigh of relief. This wraith was too strong; he couldn't allow it to parasitize and hide inside his body.
Apart from Lin Feng, Bai Yu and the others also encountered attacks from various wraiths. Although this attack was not as grand as the previous one, it was even more dangerous. Once a wraith occupied one's soul, it would be an extremely terrifying matter.
Just then, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly looked ahead. He saw massive white wraiths standing there, as if they had gathered countless resentments and malicious thoughts. Their eye sockets were sunken, devoid of any emotion, simply staring at Lin Feng and the others.
These massive wraiths were not only human-shaped but also many in the form of demon beasts. Their sunken pupils emitted white light, extremely terrifying.
"So many wraiths, several hundred at least." Lin Feng released the rolling power of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation. The wraiths seemed to be threatened by this power.
"They were probably like us once, but were occupied by wraiths and turned into what they are now. If we are occupied by them, we will become one of them." Bai Yu's words caused the crowd's expressions to stiffen. They all released terrifying auras, their eyes carrying a hint of solemnity.
"Annoying." The Dark Gold Pupil King said coldly, then stepped forward. His terrifying dark gold pupils turned into a fearsome vortex, suddenly forming a violent storm that swept a massive wraith ahead into his pupils, then crushed it into pieces.
"So strong. This must be the Dark Gold Pupil King's innate ability." Lin Feng's heart trembled. It was like a martial soul's innate ability, within the bloodline, released with a single thought, unleashing terrifying power.
Tino also strolled forward. With a flick of his hand, countless swords descended from the heavens, carrying supreme light, directly tearing apart wraith after wraith. His eyes were calm as water, as if he too was growing impatient. The combat power he unleashed became increasingly terrifying.
Qing Yi stared at the five powerful beings charging ahead: the Qinghai Roc, the Heze Python, the Dark Gold Pupil King, the Purple Void Flood Dragon, and Tino's Sword. Indeed, any one of them possessed extraordinary combat power. The gap between him and them was huge, not just a little. A wraith pounced on Qing Yi, and his expression immediately turned serious. Though they were all at the Great Emperor realm, the other five could easily kill wraiths, while he lacked that strength.
However, relying on the group's formidable strength, this space still could not stop their advance. After killing the resentful and evil spirits, they experienced many more ambushes, but none could stop them. They were getting closer and closer to truly stepping into the inner territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Kings.
