Chapter 1205: Fire Slave of the Four-Star Dou Saint Level

After Lin Feng finished warning the people behind him, he immediately waved at Yun Yun, then planted his foot on the void, his figure turning into a streak of extremely fast black shadow that dashed straight into the white light circle.

After all, he had already warned them; if they chose to go inside and die, it wouldn't be his fault.

The moment the former vanished, Yun Yun surged forward as well, plunging into that white spatial ring.

As for the others' lives, she cared little.

Apart from those she cared about, Yun Yun generally kept an indifferent attitude toward other people's life and death.

"We go. Lin Feng threatened us like that, surely because he's afraid we'll snatch the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. This time we've gathered more than ninety percent of the continent's strongmen; even the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, no matter how formidable, can only bow and submit!"

Seeing Lin Feng and the other disappear into the spatial ring, a Half Saint-level cultivator immediately waved his hand, and his voice quickly spread around.

As soon as the words fell, he planted his foot hard onto the void, burst forward resolutely, and vanished into the spatial fissure.

Upon hearing that, another elder in front of him tightened, gritting his teeth, and said, "He's right; no matter how powerful the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is, it can't contend with so many of us. We've all come here; I won't give up now!"

Having said that, he also lunged forward, flying into the spatial ring.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

After the first two flew into that demonic fire space, many more followed one after another.

These people: the strong are at the Half Saint Realm, while the weak are those still outside this space, drenched in sweat, even having to use Dou Qi to fend off the terrifying high temperature of the Dou Zun.

Some decided to gamble, betting they could return alive, but more, upon sensing the dreadful temperature at the entrance and recalling Lin Feng's warning, hesitated, stepped back a bit, and chose not to risk entering.

After all, although the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is a rare celestial artifact, you still need a fate to enjoy such wonders!

If one falls inside, no matter how precious the treasure, it instantly loses its meaning.

While those people chose to venture in or retreat, on the other side Lin Feng, the instant his body surged into the light circle, his entire skin instantly tightened.

However, since the circle wasn't very thick, Lin Feng only needed a split second before the light before his eyes flickered faintly.

When Lin Feng looked closely, he discovered that the surrounding space had undergone an earth‑shattering transformation.

At this moment, he stood within a strange space suffused with milky‑white flames, and everywhere in that space was filled with milky‑white fire.

"What a terrifying temperature; if I truly am a Three‑Star Dou Saint, this would indeed be troublesome."

Scanning the unusually scorching milky‑white flames, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and thought, "Yun'er is now a Four‑Star Dou Saint; although suppressed to Three Stars, with the exotic fire I gave her, she should be fine. Still, for safety, I should reunite with her as soon as possible."

At that thought, Lin Feng's mind shifted, and the exotic fire inside him burst out, forming a circular shield that enveloped his entire body.

Although the outer defenses of the demonic fire space were useless against him, to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Lin Feng still chose to wrap himself with the exotic fire.

After releasing the exotic fire shield, he then slightly closed his eyes, beginning to sense the location of his own flame.

"In the left front?"

Soon after, Lin Feng's eyes snapped open, his gaze turning to his left front.

Then he lightly tapped the void with his toe, and his figure silently swooped forward.

However, after less than five minutes of this flight, Lin Feng's figure gradually came to a halt.

At this moment, opposite him, Gu Xun'er had appeared, though it was unclear when.

When Gu Xun'er saw Lin Feng arrive, a gentle smile immediately appeared at the corner of her lips, and she lightly stepped forward with her jade feet toward him.

At the same time, her pink lips quivered, and she sweetly said, "Brother Lin Feng, you finally came to see me; I've been waiting for you in the Gu clan, it's been so hard for you."

"Hmph, you slut, how dare you hide from me to meet Lin Feng; you have some nerve!"

Before the former could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly appeared, his face enraged, shouting.

As soon as he spoke, he rushed forward, grabbed Gu Xun'er's arm, and pulled her backward.

At the same time, as Gu Xun'er was dragged toward the milky‑white flames, a hint of sorrow flashed on her beautiful face, and she said plaintively, "Brother Lin Feng, my father insists I marry Xiao Yan, but I only want to stay with you forever. Brother Lin Feng, please come rescue me!"

Then Gu Xun'er stretched out her jade arm, her expression urgent as she looked toward Lin Feng, her eyes full of longing for him to save her from this misery.

"Hehe, this illusion is somewhat interesting, but after all it's just a superficial defense against cultivators below Dou Saint; it's of little use to me."

Seeing this scene that made some young girls tear up, Lin Feng merely twitched his mouth in a slight smile, ignored Gu Xun'er's pleas for rescue, and kept walking forward.

Surprisingly, when Lin Feng reached Gu Xun'er, he didn't collide with her as one might expect, but passed straight through her body, causing rippling waves like water circles to emanate from her.

Roar!

Seeing that he wouldn't fall for it, Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan could only let out a few resentful roars before fleeing the area.

But Lin Feng ignored it entirely, continuing on his own path.

Meanwhile, the exotic fire inside him raced through his body, then shot straight up into his pupils, penetrating them.

Buzz!

With the flame surging upward, in an instant the world before Lin Feng began to shift.

The next moment, the milky‑white sea of fire vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by a swath of milky‑white mist spanning perhaps dozens of zhang.

At this moment, within the mist, dozens of Dou Zun and a few Half Saints, each with different expressions, fluttered back and forth in place.

Some people's bodies, at an unknown time, had become encased in the milky‑white flames, and those unable to escape could only turn to ash amid waves of desperate, mournful screams.

"Sigh, these people choosing death is no surprise. I told you earlier, those not reaching Dou Saint should honestly stay outside."

Seeing their deaths, Lin Feng immediately shook his head and continued flying forward.

This first barrier isn't very strong; as long as one's mind is steadfast, even a Dou Zun cultivator can break through the illusion.

But alas, these people's minds are insufficient.

After Lin Feng kept flying for over ten minutes, a teal silhouette appeared within his vision.

Gazing at his wife's round, perky hips, Lin Feng chuckled lightly as he flew forward, saying, "I was a bit worried about my dear Yun'er, but I didn't expect you to break the illusion all by yourself."

Swoosh!

Hearing a sudden sound behind him, Yun Yun instantly turned her sharp gaze around, then kept scanning Lin Feng up and down.

"Hehe, Yun'er, no need to look, it's real."

As he spoke, the brass‑colored exotic fire inside Lin Feng immediately spread out, its terrifying heat quickly dispersing the surrounding milky‑white flames.

"Huh, looks like this time it's real."

He sensed the milky-white flames around him quickly dissipating, and Yun Yun let out a relieved breath, confirming that the Lin Feng before her was a real person.

Immediately after, she solemnly looked around, lightly opened her red lips and said: "Husband, the methods of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire are truly terrifying; these illusions almost ensnared even me."

"Hehe, normal. The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has operated this place for thousands of years; if it truly didn't figure anything out, it would have lived in vain."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng gave a light smile, then looked ahead and continued: "All right, Yun'er, this isn't a place to talk; let's keep moving forward."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng's figure shot out, racing toward the milky-white space ahead!

"Mm."

Seeing him continue forward, Yun Yun lightly nodded her head and quickly followed.

Moreover, since the two had now broken the illusion and removed that obstacle, after just a few minutes of flight, Lin Feng and Yun Yun burst out of the illusionary range shrouded in milky-white mist and continued to rush forward nonstop.

However, as they flew at extreme speed, not long afterward they suddenly noticed a small black dot appearing gradually at the far end of the horizon before them.

After they continued flying for a few more breaths, a huge platform hovering in midair came into view before them.

Looking up, Lin Feng and Yun Yun discovered that at the end of the platform, a massive white door stood abruptly!

However, at that moment there was not a single person on the platform.

Obviously, the ancient six clans and those other people had not yet cleared the previous checkpoint.

"No, this is the demonic fire space; where we can go is entirely controlled by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. Perhaps it is preventing me from meeting others."

Together with Yun Yun, he gently descended onto the white platform, then turned to look back at the layers of mist, silently thinking to himself.

"Boom!"

However, before his thought could finish, the surrounding space suddenly underwent a violent fluctuation without any warning.

At the same time, a terrifying temperature emerged from somewhere, slowly spreading from all around, causing Yun Yun to suddenly feel a hint of heat.

"Husband, be careful; it seems many auras have appeared around us!"

At the instant that scorching sensation appeared, Yun Yun suddenly lifted her head, looked around, and warned with a solemn expression.

"Mm."

Upon hearing his wife's reminder, Lin Feng furrowed his brow slightly, nodded to indicate he understood. "Boom! Boom!"

As his words fell, the surrounding space immediately became increasingly distorted, followed by continuous violent explosions.

Amidst these explosions, eventually numerous black cracks suddenly appeared.

Within those cracks, surges of milky-white fire waves, like gigantic surges, erupted wildly and ravaged the entire world.

Soon after, figures engulfed in milky-white flames surged forth like a tide from the many cracks.

In an instant, the sky above the square where Lin Feng and Yun Yun were became completely filled with these flame figures.

Looking up, these figures had their bodies entwined with boiling flames and tightly grasped a flame spear in hand.

At the same time, their pair of emotionless eyes stared coldly at Lin Feng and Yun Yun.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes quickly swept over the many flame figures.

Then she suddenly realized that these flame beings actually possessed solid forms!

At the same time, although their auras were only those of Dou Zun cultivators, the sheer number of them would still require her to expend considerable effort.

Of course, this is not the main point; the most important thing is that they also don't know how many more traps lie ahead, and whether their combined Dou Qi will be sufficient!

Upon seeing these people, Lin Feng immediately used his soul power to quickly sense them.

After finishing his inspection, he then said in a deep voice: "These are Fire Slaves, adventurers refined by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, equivalent to a kind of alternative puppet. However—"

"Roar!"

Before he could finish speaking, the tens of thousands of flame figures in the sky suddenly let out a fierce roar, then all at once took flight and swarmed toward Lin Feng and the two of them.

Such a momentum truly shook heaven and earth!

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun was suddenly startled, then she clenched her jade hand, and a cyan energy sword quickly condensed in her fair palm.

At the same time, she narrowed her beautiful eyes and urgently said: "Husband, be careful!"

"Hehe, don't be afraid; these puppets are merely illusions. As long as you treat them as cabbage, they pose no threat to you."

Seeing his anxious expression, the bronze-colored flame in Lin Feng's eyes dimmed slightly, and he gently waved his hand, signaling him to calm down and not panic.

"Big cabbage?"

Upon hearing that, Yun Yun was somewhat shocked, her gaze incredulously turning toward her husband.

And Lin Feng seemed to sense her gaze as well, then he took a few steps forward, spread his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for the arrival of those Fire Slaves.

As for Yun Yun, although she didn't understand whether this was truly useful, she subconsciously heeded Lin Feng's words and then imagined those attacking Fire Slaves as harmless cabbages.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

At the moment the two closed their eyes, each Fire Slave leapt forward, raised the flame spear in hand, and fiercely stabbed at the composed Lin Feng and the slightly uneasy Yun Yun.

However, astonishingly, when each Fire Slave's attack landed on Lin Feng and Yun Yun, it vanished in the blink of an eye.

However, after waiting a long while, when Yun Yun saw that the attacks still hadn't landed on her.

Sensing something amiss, she then opened her eyes, and her doubtful gaze quickly swept over the surroundings.

Immediately afterward, she saw that these Fire Slaves, no matter how hard they tried, would pass straight through her and Lin Feng, unable to inflict any harm.

"This really is an illusion; even I didn't notice it just now!"

After confirming that the scene before her was indeed an illusion, realizing she too had unknowingly fallen for it, Yun Yun couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the renowned secret technique of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Dream Nightmare Mist."

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng opened his dark eyes, gazed at the ceaselessly flying Fire Slaves before him, and a flash of light passed through his eyes.

"Dream Nightmare Mist?"

Upon hearing that somewhat familiar name, Yun Yun was first startled, but soon recalled some classics she had read during Lin Feng's seclusion, and then exclaimed in astonishment: "Could it be that the place we are now in is still within that mist said to trap people forever in illusion?!"

After speaking, Yun Yun's expression sank and she said in a deep voice: "According to the ancient texts I previously perused in the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint seems to have once employed this technique to envelop a city, making its inhabitants feel as if they had lived there for hundreds of years. However, once the mist dispersed, they only then realized that the century of experience they felt was merely an artificially fabricated dream."

While speaking, his tone also involuntarily grew heavy with apprehension.

Facing the signature ultimate skill of the era's strongest expert who is closest to the Dou Emperor realm, the pressure is truly enormous!

"Hehe, Yun'er, you don't need to worry either. Besides us, many others have come in here. Although the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is strong, with so many of us experts charging through together, it cannot possibly hold out."

As they spoke, Lin Feng also raised his head to gaze at the stone gate slowly opening ahead.

"Hah!"

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng flicked his finger, and a violent flame shot out from his fingertips at extreme speed, then slammed hard onto the gate.

"Boom!"

As the flame collided with the gate, instantly an earth-shaking explosive roar burst forth, continuously echoing in this space.

However, as the smoke gradually cleared, Yun Yun saw the white gate ahead, her brows slightly furrowing as she said in a low voice, "This gate can only be broken by force, right?"

"Squeak—bang!"

Just as the former was filled with doubt, the pair of white gates before them suddenly emitted a series of sounds, then slowly opened.

"Woo!"

As the white gate slowly opened, the countless Fire Slaves that had been mechanically attacking nonstop quickly grew faint and finally disappeared.

"Let's go."

Seeing the gate open and the annoying 'mosquitoes' in the sky also gone, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed; he then exerted force with his feet, his figure shooting out instantly, and in a flash he had already passed through the gate.

Seeing this, Yun Yun likewise said nothing, withdrew her gaze, and then her delicate body shot out, closely following her man into the gate.

After the two flew into the white giant gate and continued flying for the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Lin Feng and Yun Yun once again encountered a floating platform and gate just like before.

Faced with this situation, the two said nothing and simply repeated the previous actions.

However, after using this method three times in a row, Yun Yun, tired of the Fire Slaves in this illusion, simply switched to bombardment mode upon seeing a white gate, continuously blasting the distant gate.

"Boom boom boom!"

The next moment, as explosion sounds rang throughout the sky, the fourth white gate before Lin Feng and Yun Yun was successfully blasted to pieces by Yun Yun.

"'Husband, this is already the fourth gate we've smashed. How much longer must we spend before we can leave this Dream Nightmare Mist?'"

After smashing the white gate, Yun Yun glanced around at the vanished Fire Slaves, her brows immediately knitting, feeling somewhat disheartened.

"'Hehe, I think we're about to see the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.'"

Just as the former's gate-smashing began to make him dejected, Lin Feng's mouth suddenly curled into a cold smile, he raised his head, his gaze solemnly fixed on the sky ahead.

Then his figure flashed, and he swiftly flew past that white stone gate.

Hearing those mysterious words from the former, Yun Yun's brows involuntarily twitched, yet she still flicked her figure and quickly appeared adeptly on the floating platform before the fifth pair of gates.

As for Lin Feng, he had already arrived here a step ahead of the former.

"Huh?"

Upon arriving, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes also scanned the sky around the platform, but after a while she let out an exclamation of surprise.

Because she discovered that on this floating platform, there were actually no signs of the countless Fire Slaves!

"'Is this... the end of our trial?'"

Seeing the peaceful situation before her, Yun Yun couldn't help but raise her head, speaking excitedly.

"'No.'"

Hearing that, Lin Feng slowly shook his head, then he raised his face, locking his gaze on the high sky not far ahead of them, and continued: 'However, judging by this, once we deal with that person, we should be able to see the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.'

Following his gaze, at that very moment, a somewhat gaunt figure stood straight up in the high sky.

Unlike the magical beasts in the previous illusions, his body surprisingly had no flames coiling around it.

He appeared, rather, somewhat like an ordinary person.

However, just as Yun Yun was about to act to sense his aura, a mighty pressure like Mount Tai pressing down suddenly emanated from the gaunt man's body, violently enveloping the space between the fourth and fifth gates.

"'Four-Star Dou Saint.'"

The moment the opponent's aura was revealed, Yun Yun instantly knew his exact strength; her pretty face involuntarily twitched slightly, and a deep shock quickly welled up on her visage. (End of chapter)
