1118 Universe Daemon and Greater Demon

“Eh?”

Lin Feng was a little surprised. There was someone else in the Fire Cloud Cave?

The Fire Cloud Cave was not that big, but nor was it small. Lin Feng stopped cultivating and slowly walked towards the roars. He had mental power, and could explore every corner of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Soon, Lin Feng saw rolling magma in the Fire Cloud Cave.

That’s right, magma. Fiery red magma surged continuously, emitting a terrifyingly scorching aura. The magma emitted fire-type spiritual aura.

“A volcano? No, it’s not a volcano, but earth fire!”

Only then did Lin Feng realize that there was earth fire in the Fire Cloud Cave. It seemed to be confined by an array. Moreover, the array was rather sophisticated. It must have been set up by Golden Core Perfected Persons of the Fire Cloud Sect a long time ago.

Moreover, judging from the signs, more than one Golden Core Perfected Person had probably set it up.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, a gigantic head appeared from the scorching magma. It was sinister and terrifying, giving off a terrifying aura.

“A monster? No, it should be a demon, and a Golden Core Greater Demon at that!”

Lin Feng smacked his head. There were also monsters in this world, but they were called demons. These demons did not belong to the orthodox or heretic factions, but they were very tragic. They were basically enslaved by the orthodox and heretic factions, and were hated by almost everyone.

As a result, there were not many greater demons in recent years, but there were many lesser demons. After all, the spiritual aura in this world was very abundant. As long as the plant sprites bathed in world spiritual aura, as time passed, they would naturally develop sentience and become demons.

“Grr…”

The Golden Core Greater Demon roared. Then, it actually spoke in human language, “You’re the one who woke me? Hmph, you’ve reached the consummate level of Foundation Establishment. Your foundation is quite solid. Looks like those old fogeys from the Fire Cloud Sect have another successor.”

Lin Feng thought for a moment. Was this Golden Core Greater Demon mistaken? Were there still any old fellows in the Fire Cloud Sect?

Could it be that this Golden Core Greater Demon still did not know about the situation in the Fire Cloud Sect?

Lin Feng took a closer look. The dense arrays around the magma vaguely trapped this Golden Core Greater Demon. It turned out that this was a sealed demon.

It seemed like it was a greater demon sealed by a Golden Core Perfected Person while the Fire Cloud Sect was prospering. However, what was the use of sealing this greater demon here?

“What kind of greater demon are you? You sure talk big.”

Lin Feng appeared very calm.

“I’m the Ancestral Fire Dragon! I was sealed here by those old fogeys from your Fire Cloud Sect 3,000 years ago. Hmph, they used me as a laborer to spit out this earth fire every day. This has already become the sanctuary of cultivation for your Fire Cloud Sect. Otherwise, the earth fire in the Fire Cloud Cave would have long been exhausted.”

Lin Feng pondered. So this was a fire dragon, born with the ability to spit out earth fire. So this was how the Fire Cloud Cave, a sanctuary for cultivation, was created.

A hundred years ago, the Fire Cloud Sect had encountered a calamity. It seemed like this fire dragon did not know.

However, as Lin Feng looked at this fire dragon, he began to develop ideas. He had yet to cultivate the Divine Fire Technique, but he wanted to take another path. He did not need to cultivate step by step, and needed the earth fire. This fire dragon had come at the right time.

“Fire dragon, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?”

“Lad, have you lost your mind? You’re just a Foundation Establishment junior, and you want an ancestral beast to recognize you as his master?”

The Ancestral Fire Dragon naturally did not obey.

A smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. “What if I let you out?”

“Huh? You’re willing to let me out? Haha, as long as you’re willing to let me out, so what if I acknowledge you as my master?”

The Ancestral Fire Dragon was simply bursting with joy. It never expected Lin Feng to be willing to let it out. Could he be a fool? Moreover, the Ancestral Fire Dragon had also realized that there did not seem to be any aura of a Golden Core entity in the Fire Cloud Cave. This was even stranger.

In the past, the Fire Cloud Cave was always guarded by Golden Core Perfected Persons of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Of course Lin Feng knew what the Ancestral Fire Dragon was thinking. However, Lin Feng still needed this fire dragon. So what if he let it out?

“Break!”

Lin Feng’s massive fire attribute spiritual aura was suddenly swept into the surrounding arrays. Lin Feng had also studied arrays before. With his horizons, his attainments in arrays had long surpassed Golden Core Perfected Persons.

Hence, these arrays were nothing in front of Lin Feng.

Crack.

Even Ancestral Fire Dragon could not quite believe it when the arrays shattered. It had thought that Lin Feng had to make proper preparations first. It did not expect the arrays to be broken so quickly.

Boom.

Once the array was broken, Ancestral Fire Dragon was overjoyed. Its massive body suddenly charged out of the magma.

“Hahaha, I’m finally free again! Those old fogeys… This isn’t right, where are those old fogeys?”

The Ancestral Fire Dragon was slightly stunned. Then, it used a mystic technique to check on the entire Fire Cloud Sect. Immediately after, its expression was filled with ecstasy.

“There’s not a single old fogey from the Fire Cloud Sect, not even a Golden Core entity… Haha, I was almost fooled by you, lad. I was sealed for 3,000 years, and I’ve finally regained my freedom. The Fire Cloud Sect has already declined to this extent. Today, I’ll avenge my previous humiliation and completely destroy the Fire Cloud Sect.”

How could Ancestral Fire Dragon not know that the Fire Cloud Sect had already declined?

However, Lin Feng remained calm and said indifferently, “So, Ancestral Fire Dragon is not prepared to keep his promise?”

“Promise? Promise my ass! I’ll swallow you in one gulp.”

How could Ancestral Fire Dragon abide by its nonsensical promise? The terrifying aura of the Golden Core Greater Demon enveloped Lin Feng. It even opened its bloody mouth, intending to swallow Lin Feng in one gulp.

Thud.

Suddenly, the Ancestral Fire Dragon’s vision blurred. At some point, a small giant had appeared in front of Lin Feng, its entire body emitting a strange and powerful aura.

That aura even made Ancestral Fire Dragon tremble.

“Greetings, Father Deity!”

This was one of the 3,000 Daemons. Lin Feng looked at the sky. The 3,000 Daemons were only peak Chaotic lifeforms. The heavenly principle had warned him, but there was not much movement. It seemed like Chaotic lifeforms had yet to reach the limit of tolerance in this world.

Since there was no movement from this world, Lin Feng could rest assured.

Coincidentally, he could also see how a Golden Core entity in this world was compared to the 3,000 Universe Daemons in his internal universe.

Actually, Lin Feng already had some vague guesses. His previous hypothesis was probably wrong. According to his hypothesis, a Golden Core entity was comparable to a Chaotic Perfected Deity.

But now, just its aura was much inferior. Even if the Universe Daemon was suppressed, its aura was still far stronger than the Golden Core Greater Demon in front of him.

And the Universe Daemon was only a peak Chaotic lifeform.

“What kind of monster is this?”

The Ancestral Fire Dragon was slightly stunned, but its vision blurred. Before it could make any unnecessary movements, it saw the small giant in front of it grab out with a huge hand. An incomparably violent force grabbed its tail directly.

Then, he smashed it hard into the ground.

Boom.

The entire Fire Cloud Cave was shaking. The Ancestral Fire Dragon’s vision blurred. It was filled with anger.

“Taste the earth fire I’ve refined for 3,000 years!”

The Ancestral Fire Dragon was extremely aggrieved. It was a Golden Core Greater Demon. Although it was not at the peak of the Golden Core realm, it had already reached the intermediate stage of the Golden Core realm. Moreover, compared to cultivators, greater demons’ physical bodies were clearly stronger.

But what was happening now?

It was actually beaten by a human cultivator. This was intolerable.

Hence, the Ancestral Fire Dragon suddenly spat out a mouthful of earth fire.

Swoosh.

The terrifying temperature wreaked havoc. Immediately, even the Universe Daemon was scorched by the earth fire, but that was all. With the continuous power from the internal universe, the Universe Daemon was almost undying. A minor injury was nothing.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Moreover, this completely angered the Universe Daemon. Hence, the Universe Daemon’s body quickly expanded. He pressed Ancestral Fire Dragon to the ground with both hands and punched it again and again, causing Ancestral Fire Dragon’s demonic body to begin to collapse.

“I’ve lost, I’ve lost. Spare me, spare me!”

The Ancestral Fire Dragon wailed loudly. It had been imprisoned for a thousand years to begin with, and had lost most of its strength. Now, even its strongest body was not a match for the Universe Daemon in front of it. What else could it do?

Lin Feng looked at the weak Ancestral Fire Dragon on the ground, then waved his hand, motioning the Universe Daemon to stand at the side.

“The Ancestral Fire Dragon is a Golden Core Greater Demon. Although it has lost most of its strength, it still has a Golden Core body. I didn’t expect it to be so weak, but it can at least injure the Universe Daemon. In that case, the Golden Core of the Immortal Land is only equivalent to a Chaotic lifeform? Or perhaps, it’s much inferior to a Chaotic lifeform. After all, the Universe Daemon is still suppressed by the Immortal Land.”

Lin Feng felt that something was amiss. Something was very wrong. It was completely different from his previous hypothesis. No matter what, back in the River of Spacetime, he had confirmed that he had sensed this world. It was indeed a world, and was at least not fundamentally different from the Chaotic world.

However, why were the cultivators in this world so weak? The Golden Core was almost already considered the peak power of this world.

“Also, where did the ancient Daoist Ancestor that this world has always mentioned come from? Where did he go? Since he could preach, his strength definitely cannot be underestimated. Also, those two Nascent Soul Immortals…”

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Lin Feng’s mind. He had almost come into contact with the high-end power of this world now. If it was really so weak, he could try to change his plan.

His previous plan had progressed too slowly. That was because he was very wary of this world.

But from the looks of it, the Golden Core was only so-so. If possible, he could speed up his progress.

Lin Feng’s eyes darted around and he saw the weakened Ancestor Fire Dragon on the ground. Demons were the most tragic lifeforms in this world, but there were many of them. Perhaps he could let these demons test the true peak power of this world.

He would test the waters of this world.

Hence, Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He said in a low voice, “Ancestral Fire Dragon, I have a huge opportunity here. Heh, it’ll depend on your luck!”

Lin Feng reached out and grabbed at any time. The Ancestral Fire Dragon did not even have the slightest ability to resist. It instantly disappeared and was transferred into the internal universe.

Boom.

A bolt from the blue struck. The clear sky turned dark at once. Black clouds pressed down on the city, but in reality, Lin Feng felt immense pressure.

The heavenly principle was warning him, and this time, it was far more serious than when Lin Feng had transferred an ant into the internal universe the last time.

However, no heavenly tribulation or anything of the sort descended in the end.

“Is the Golden Core is also within tolerance? Then things will be easier!”

A cold smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips.
