Chapter 1209

This is the method of deploying and breaking the Dream Nightmare Mist, right? However, looking at it this way, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has almost mastered the inheritance of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, and has already used the Dream Nightmare Mist to this level.

After finishing reading the information transmitted from the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, Lin Feng immediately opened his eyes, his gaze once again turning toward that battlefield.

However, at the moment he opened his eyes, a flame suddenly rose from the depths of his eyes, then covered his dark pupils.

At this moment, in his eyes, the world before him instantly changed.

And the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire that was fighting against the Hall Master of the Soul Hall, Gu Nanhai, and the other six people has now completely disappeared from his sight; they are essentially fighting wits and courage against thin air.

Moreover, they from time to time stare with solemn gazes at an empty space, revealing solemn expressions on their faces.

However, the most important thing is that a milky-white flame has gradually begun to appear on the bodies of those few people.

Looking at this, if left unchecked, at most an hour later, those few people will all become Fire Slaves.

Of course, the two weakest, Xiao Yan and the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, have the most demonic fire on their bodies.

As for Gu Xun'er, although she is only a Two-star Dou Saint, thanks to the protection of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, she is considerably better off than the previous two.

After all, although Xiao Yan also possesses a Strange Fire, his strength is ultimately one star inferior to Gu Xun'er's, and moreover, his soul power is ineffective at this moment, so he naturally cannot compare to Gu Xun'er.

"Interesting. If that's the case, then let the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire consume them a bit more. Anyway, the final outcome is beneficial to me, but I cannot let them all die, otherwise, whose hands these people's Strange Fires will fall into is unknown."

Seeing these people gradually fall under the control of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a low voice: "If by chance these people's Strange Fire is devoured by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, the opposing side's strength will surely surge to an extremely terrifying degree. At that point, I don't even know whether the remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon can still cope with it. If not, then we're really screwed."

Considering the terrifying consequences of these people's Strange Fire falling into the hands of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, Lin Feng weighed the pros and cons and decided to save their lives at the critical moment.

After all, although he would like many of them to die, within this demonic fire space that he cannot control, it is absolutely out of the question.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

And Yun Yun, seeing that the former had remained silent, immediately leaned close to his ear and said.

"Hehe, let's not rush for now; let's wait for them to consume some time, then we'll make our move."

Upon hearing Yun Yun's question, Lin Feng immediately curled the corners of his mouth, his face showing a calm and unhurried demeanor.

After all, the Dream Nightmare Mist of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has now been seen through by him, and at this moment he has also become less anxious.

With the help of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, even if he fails to control the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire later, he at least has a way to retreat.

At worst, he can quickly flee.

"Boom!"

Not long after Lin Feng's words fell, a loud bang suddenly came from the distant battlefield, and then six figures were violently flung out from the explosion's smoke and clouds, crashing hard onto the altar below.

"Pfft!"

After landing, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and the others simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood, and their aura instantly weakened.

"Damn it, just how powerful is this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire? Why, even with our six forces combined, are we utterly helpless?!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the Hall Master of the Soul Hall gazed upward with doubtful eyes, his expression indifferent toward the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire that loomed over them, his heart filled with utter confusion.

Even combined, these people, by rights, should have the strength to fight even a Five-star Mid-stage Dou Saint or a later-stage expert.

But why, here, did they lose so swiftly?

Meanwhile, as the former was puzzled, Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan beside him likewise wiped the blood from their mouths and stared blankly upward at the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

Because in their hearts, they also harbored the same doubt as the Hall Master of the Soul Hall.

But shortly after, Xiao Yan turned his head and directed his gaze toward the distant Lin Feng and his companion.

At first, he thought the other side wasn't joining forces with them because he wanted to sit back and reap the benefits later; as for the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire being off, that was just Lin Feng's baseless excuse.

At that time, seeing that his side had a Four-star Peak Dou Saint, and that the Hall Master of the Soul Hall likewise could not possibly stand by and watch Lin Feng snatch the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, he paid no heed to Lin Feng's inaction.

However, looking at it now, the other party's speculation might actually be correct.

This Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is indeed quite off,

More importantly, he just received a reminder from the Fire Spirit Little Three within his body that his internal condition is likewise extremely abnormal.

"Should we go all out?"

At the same time Xiao Yan felt doubtful, a black-robed person nearby immediately leaned to the Hall Master of the Soul Hall's ear and asked.

"Let's wait a bit; the situation is still unclear, and besides, the other major families haven't shown up yet, so we'd better play it safe."

Upon hearing that, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall immediately shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

"Fine, since you're in charge this time, then everything will be as you say."

Upon hearing that, Hun Feng also lightly nodded, and the black flames within his body quickly subsided, as if they had never appeared.

"Heh, as expected of the third-ranked Strange Fire on the list, it inherently possesses the ability to control human emotions; having now inherited the legacy of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, over a thousand years it has actually comprehended his Dream Nightmare Mist to this extent. According to ancient records, a thousand years ago, you certainly did not possess such ability."

As soon as Hun Feng's words fell, Lin Feng in the distance swiftly moved forward, returning to a point a kilometer before the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, his eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed at the opponent and calmly praised: "Even if I, although I had sensed something was off earlier, I had never discovered the subtlety within."

"Swish!"

At the instant the latter half of the former's words sounded, the smile on the handsome face of the opposing Pure Lotus Demonic Fire began to gradually fade, replaced by an abnormally dark and icy chill.

His eyes locked tightly on Lin Feng, who had revealed his secret; although he had not yet spoken, the space around him was already trembling like water ripples. From this, it can be seen that at this moment, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's heart is also not at peace.

"Dream Nightmare Mist?"

Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and Gu Nanhai below, among others, were all startled, their eyes widened as they looked at Lin Feng.

But soon after, it seemed they suddenly understood; the astonishment on their faces turned into a wave of disbelief, and they looked at the calm, water-like Lin Feng and said: "You mean we are still trapped in an illusion, never having escaped?"

"Impossible, I clearly felt nothing wrong; could it be that this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire has grown to the point where even a Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul cannot escape its illusion?"

And after saying that, Xiao Yan immediately rejected Lin Feng's words, then turned his gaze to the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire and said in a deep voice: "If that's truly the case, then how did those people from last time manage to escape? You know, for a Strange Fire of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's level, a thousand years is but a snap of the fingers. It can't be that its power suddenly exploded and it grew to its present state, can it?"

Upon hearing that, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall also showed some agreement by nodding.

After all, although a thousand years feels very long to them, for the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire it might not even be enough to rise by one star.

You should know that, a thousand years ago, this Pure Lotus Demonic Fire could hardly handle even a Four-star Dou Saint.

Otherwise, Xiao Chen up front wouldn't still be alive, having not completely become a Fire Slave of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

And in such a short span of time, how could the other side possibly evolve all at once to that level!

Hearing the words of the crowd below, Lin Feng's mouth corner twitched slightly, then he said indifferently: "Although you find it hard to believe, we have indeed fallen into an illusion. I originally didn't want to bother explaining to you. However, considering we might have to fight together now, I'll give you an explanation."

At this point, Lin Feng reached out and made a grasping motion at the air before him, in the doubtful gazes of the crowd he continued: "This is the most terrifying aspect of the Dream Nightmare Mist: if we keep walking according to the layout of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, we will unknowingly sink deeper and deeper, eventually becoming completely its fire slaves. As for your Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul power"

"Hehe, forgive my bluntness, but before the former Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, I might just be an insignificant crumb. Otherwise, as someone who also possesses a Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul, I wouldn't have been so wary of this place earlier. After all, if someone were attentive, they would have noticed something off at the very beginning of the illusion. Because those illusions cannot be achieved by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire relying solely on emotional control."

Hearing the former's words, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall and Xiao Yan both furrowed their brows, wanting to refute the other.

After all, the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection Soul power is one of their proudest aspects.

Now that the other party has belittled their pride like this, how could they not be angry?

But thinking of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, in his era he was famed as the peak powerhouse closest to the Dou Emperor.

Even if we truly compare them, even the current Chief of the Soul Clan and Chief of the Ancient Clan fall short, and the two couldn't help but feel disheartened and fell silent.

After all, although they have such and such shortcomings, they still have a rough grasp of their own strength.

Before such an unparalleled powerhouse as the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon, this bit of strength of ours is truly nothing.

"The Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon back then was backlashed by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, leading to his downfall. From this, after his fall, the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire could indeed have inherited his legacy, and the Dream Nightmare Mist is the technique that made the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon famous. It is said that when he performed it at its peak, it caused every person in a city with a population of over a million to live in the illusion for hundreds of years without realizing it."

At this moment, the long-silent Gu Nanhai also slowly rose to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gazed solemnly at the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in the sky, saying: "From this perspective, the miraculous effect of the Dream Nightmare Mist is certainly not something ordinary people can predict. In that case, we might indeed have been trapped all along in the other's illusion, unable to break free."

Having said that, he took a deep breath and continued: "I think even if we slay it here, we would still remain trapped in this illusion, unable to escape."

"Then does that mean everything we've encountered so far is fake?"

Hearing that, Hun Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately became wary, looking at the few people around him.

After all, anything is possible in this illusion; who knows whether the people around us are friends or foes.

Especially thinking back to the words he himself had spoken earlier, his wariness grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, Gu Xun'er and Xiao Yan beside him also cautiously scanned their surroundings.

Although they each believed the other to be real, it's hard to say about the other people present.

However, no matter how they investigated, they could never detect even the slightest fluctuation of the illusion.

But upon further thought, that makes sense—if they could truly detect it, they would have already freed themselves from the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire's illusion earlier and wouldn't have fallen into the other's trap.

"The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire before never had this ability; it looks like we're in big trouble this time."

The Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall, after scanning the area, spoke in a low voice: "In the past few appearances of the demonic fire, no one has ever encountered such a troublesome situation."

"It seems that over these thousand years you have gradually mastered all the methods of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon; from a certain perspective, you could now be called an alternative, youthful version of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon."

Gazing at the white-robed man whose expression grew ever colder, Lin Feng, after a moment of silence, then chuckled and teased.

"With your strength, there should be no reason you could see through the Dream Nightmare Mist; who exactly are you?"

Upon saying this, the voice of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire in the sky above also gradually turned grim.

After all, it is rather strange that the other party could see through his Dream Nightmare Mist.

And upon hearing that, Lin Feng could only respond with a mysterious smile, after all, he couldn't possibly say that the remnant soul of the Saint of the Pure Lotus Demon had told him all the information about the Dream Nightmare Mist, could he?

"Since this place is an illusion, how should we break it? This guy gives us a feeling that is completely not fake!"

After scanning the surroundings and finding no solution whatsoever, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall immediately raised his dark eyes and inquired.

After all, when facing the methods of that expert who was once closest to a Dou Emperor, even he had no way at all!

And while speaking, his gaze was also fixed tightly on the white-robed figure above, as well as the surging milky-white flames surrounding it.

His intuition told him that if he were killed here, they would probably also die completely.

Therefore, at this critical moment of life and death, the Hall Master of the Soul Hall no longer dared to stand on ceremony, directly lowering his posture to inquire. (End of chapter)
