Chapter 392: Battle Against the Heavenly Demon
"Beasts are beasts; they can't change their bloodthirsty nature, even if they always want to become human."
Lin Feng looked at the cat demon before him, which had a beast's face and a human form, and sneered. This made the bloodthirsty gleam in the cat demon's eyes even stronger. Hoarsely, it said, "So what? Once I truly become human and have a human body, with my strength, I can do whatever I want in the human world, kill whoever I want. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"You don't truly want to become human. You're just tired of a thousand years of cultivation and want to experience the novelty of being human. With your bloodthirsty nature lingering, even if you become human, those powerful cultivators won't tolerate you."
Lin Feng shook his head and said. This cat demon didn't genuinely want to be human; it had cultivated for too long, grown bored and lonely in the Beast Mountain Range, and so wanted to become human. There was no trace of humanity in it.
"Maybe you're right, but for now, you should worry about yourself first."
The cat demon opened its mouth, revealing bloodthirsty fangs, ferocious and terrifying.
It scraped one foot forward, then its body lunged out instantly, leaving a long shadow across the space.
"Roar..." Qiongqi let out a furious roar and charged at the cat demon from the side, its body growing massive in midair, its eyes filled with endless hatred and anger.
"Beast, get lost!" A sharp cat cry rang out. The cat demon's body turned directly, a phantom flickering past, leaving a claw shadow in the void. With a thunderous boom, Qiongqi's body was sent flying back, a chunk of flesh torn from it.
Qiongqi opened its mouth, low beastly roars continuously spilling out, its eyes completely crimson with murderous light, hatred overwhelming the sky. It couldn't bear it anymore. It had endured this cat demon for too long, even losing its own bloodthirsty nature.
"It seems you're too lonely and bored, to the point of not even wanting your life." The cat demon said hoarsely, its hands hanging diagonally. At this moment, those hands were no longer human hands but sharp claws, incredibly sharp and eerily demonic.
"Don't be impulsive. Come to me."
Lin Feng shouted at Qiongqi. Sunlight shone down, landing on him, dazzling and radiant light flickering endlessly. The flame essence of solar true essence once again bathed Lin Feng in fiery light.
"Your cultivation has indeed improved." The cat demon felt the intensity of Lin Feng's solar true essence and spoke hoarsely again.
Lin Feng didn't speak. His cultivation had indeed improved, breaking through to the Second Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm.
Battle drives people to constantly unleash their potential. In recent days, he had fought Qiong Biluo, Yu Chou, Ji Feng, Du Yan, and Wu Zhen. Several times, he used the black lotus fire, exhausting his true essence, and used his powerful martial soul to devour two Profound Demons, the soul of the Wu Demon, and Wu Zhen himself.
Lin Feng had come deep into the mountain range to find a place to break through, and coincidentally encountered Qiongqi. So only in these past few days did he frantically absorb the Origin Stones on him, temper his body, condense his true essence, and take his cultivation a step further. It was all just a natural progression.
In fact, he had already broken through yesterday. That was why Qiongqi had cursed the cat demon as a fool in its heart. Lin Feng wasn't cultivating at all; that cluster of heaven and earth essence light was just Lin Feng's trick to confuse them.
As for what Lin Feng was actually doing, Qiongqi itself didn't know.
"But what use is this little improvement?"
The cat demon's voice was still hoarse as it slowly walked toward Lin Feng. Qiongqi let out a low roar and came to Lin Feng's side.
Lin Feng said he had a way to deal with the cat demon. Although Qiongqi didn't quite believe it, there was still a glimmer of hope in its heart.
"It may be useless, but I still have to try."
Lin Feng's pupils gradually turned pitch black, emotionless. The Dark Eye appeared again, and occasionally, a flash of brilliant light bloomed within those eyes, eerily strange.
"Hmm?" The cat demon frowned. When that brilliant light flashed, it felt as if it was about to be seen through—a very strange sensation.
Solar true essence condensed frantically. A cluster of dark light flickered faintly; it was flame. Those solar true essences gathered together, turning into flames, black flames.
This cluster of flames was compressed wildly, eventually taking the shape of a lotus, a dark lotus, a netherworld lotus. Just one look at it made one's heart race.
"What is this?" The cat demon stared at that cluster of netherworld black lotus. This kind of dark flame should have very strong destructive power. It seemed Lin Feng still had some tricks up his sleeve.
Qiongqi also stared at the netherworld black lotus Lin Feng held in his hand, its large eyes flickering uncertainly. Was this the means Lin Feng mentioned to deal with the cat demon?
"Interesting." The cat demon stared at the black lotus flame, a sinister smile curling at the corner of its mouth. It slowly circled Lin Feng, not attacking immediately.
Cat-type demon beasts were inherently cunning and treacherous. This Thunder Flame Cat Demon was a very powerful type among cat demons, and having cultivated to the Heavenly Demon realm, it had become a spirit. Even though it was arrogant in its heart, it was still extremely cautious. Otherwise, as a dignified Heavenly Demon, it wouldn't have stayed cooped up in this hundred-mile radius during its transformation period, never setting foot in the human world. Because it was more careful and cautious, unwilling to allow any mistakes before its transformation was complete.
A dignified Heavenly Demon—how worthless would it be to have an accident during the transformation period?
"But you're not the only one here who can play with fire."
The cat demon stopped walking, its hoarse voice sounding again. Wisps of flame light spiraled and danced around its body, like bolts of lightning, crackling with thunderous sounds, extremely dazzling.
Thunder Flame Cat Demon possessed Thunder Flame Fire.
This Thunder Flame Fire was domineering, violent, and very powerful.
"Go."
The cat demon waved its claws, and with a crackling sound, the Thunder Flame Fire danced wildly, crashing directly in front of Lin Feng with a thunderous boom.
Fast. Thunder Flame Fire had the speed and violence of lightning.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had entered a dark state, his entire consciousness sharpened to the extreme. The moment the Thunder Flame Fire appeared, his right hand trembled slightly, directly placing the netherworld black lotus in front of him.
The dazzling red Thunder Flame Fire coiled around the black lotus, making crackling thunder sounds. After a moment, it dissipated there, the dark netherworld black lotus still striking and shocking.
The cat demon showed a hint of surprise. With its realm, releasing Thunder Flame Fire couldn't even harm that black lotus, showing the terrifying power contained within it. It had underestimated Lin Feng.
This cluster of black lotus had merged all of Lin Feng's solar true essence. And Lin Feng's solar true essence had originally merged with the demon fire of the demon fox, making it very powerful. Finally, this solar true essence was fused and condensed with the netherworld intent of the Heavenly Radiance Martial Soul, becoming a small black lotus. How could it not be terrifying?
Qiongqi also looked at Lin Feng, a glimmer of hope appearing in its eyes. Perhaps Lin Feng's flame could really deal with the cat demon.
Glancing coldly at Qiongqi, the cat demon's bloodthirsty face grew more demonic. It sneered, "Do you think he can deal with me with just a cluster of black flame?"
Qiongqi's large eyes froze, staring ferociously at the cat demon. That's right, with just a cluster of flame, could Lin Feng deal with this terrifying creature?
Qiongqi's confidence was steadily waning.
"Don't forget, I am a Heavenly Demon, a powerful Heavenly Demon."
The cat demon's hands slowly rose, its hoarse voice eerily cold and sharp. As its hands rose, Thunder Flame Fire flew everywhere, like a thunderous fire dragon, writhing around its body.
"Now, prepare to bear the wrath of a Heavenly Demon."
As the cat demon spoke, its body vanished from its spot like a phantom.
Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, and his body directly retreated. A flash of demonic white light streaked past him, too fast to even see clearly.
"Boom-crack!"
Thunder Flame Fire blasted out, surging wildly toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng's body trembled on the ground, leaping into the air.
But the next moment, wisps of Thunder Flame Fire blasted over again, so fast that Lin Feng couldn't keep up. He waved his hand, the black flame lotus blocking the Thunder Flame Fire, light swirling.
Before Lin Feng's hand could fall, his heart tightened, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Above him, an eerily sharp claw reached down from the void, aiming for his head.
On this claw, terrifying demonic light pulsed. If it caught him, Lin Feng's head would probably explode!
