Chapter 207: Charging the Dark Barrier

Just as Ye Lin was still hesitating whether to generate the Forbidden Spell "Joy-Emptiness Dual Cultivation," the Soul-Devouring Empress had already pursued him, shrouded in the Dark Barrier.

"You lowly, insignificant human, how dare you be so bold as to deceive me!"

"Although the Butterfly Emperor has forbidden me from killing you, while death can be avoided, living suffering is inescapable! I will certainly make you taste the most painful torture in the world!"

The Soul-Devouring Empress struck instantly; several strands of demonic energy moved even faster than the Dark Barrier, lashing out at Ye Lin like long whips.

Seeing the Soul-Devouring Empress attack, Ye Lin dared not be slow and instantly retaliated.

"Forbidden Spell—World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

The violent thunder slammed into the demonic energy instantly, but the Soul-Devouring Empress's strength was clearly terrifying; those strands of demonic energy actually began to devour Ye Lin's thunder in return, then continued toward Ye Lin with undiminished momentum.

"Forbidden Spell—Wall of Sighs!"

A thick stone wall rose from the ground to block Ye Lin, but it held for only a fleeting moment before shattering upon impact, and the demonic energy slammed heavily into Ye Lin's chest.

Ye Lin retreated several steps before barely steadying himself, unable to stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood with a 'pfft.'

But it wasn't over yet; more strands of demonic energy lashed out at him, and the purple-black demonic energy surrounded Ye Lin like giant flying pythons, giving him no chance to escape.

The next second, Ye Lin was tightly bound by the demonic energy, the Dark Barrier fully formed, and Ye Lin had absolutely no chance to flee.

"Sister, let me go. Although you have a human form, you are a member of the Demon race. Humans cannot, or at least, should not."

Ye Lin's expression was somewhat strange, as if he were making a difficult decision.

The next second, a bare, crystalline jade foot pressed hard against Ye Lin's face, and the Soul-Devouring Empress's exquisite and beautiful face was filled with disgust and disdain.

"Hmph! Humans are indeed creatures like rats in a gutter, insidious and cunning—truly disgusting!"

At the mere thought that she had actually been tricked into kneeling before a human, the Soul-Devouring Empress wished she could kill Ye Lin on the spot.

It was only because the Butterfly Emperor had given orders that Ye Lin must be captured alive and brought before him, otherwise the Soul-Devouring Empress would have already dealt a lethal blow.

"Damn it! You've gone too far! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!" Ye Lin was furious.

"And what if I humiliate you? The human race is naturally inferior to the Demon race; you are merely food for us demons, understand?" The Soul-Devouring Empress snorted coldly, her small foot grinding forcefully against Ye Lin's face.

"This is what you forced me to do!"

Ye Lin was thoroughly provoked.

"Confirm generation!"

"Forbidden Spell—Joy-Emptiness Dual Cultivation!"

Ye Lin cast Joy-Emptiness Dual Cultivation directly at the Soul-Devouring Empress; if she had stayed hidden in the Dark Barrier, he truly would have had no way to deal with her, but for the sake of revenge and venting her anger, she had appeared right before him—this was Heaven's will!

The moment the Forbidden Spell was cast, a peculiar red light shone on both of their bodies simultaneously.

The Soul-Devouring Empress couldn't help but retreat several steps, her delicate brows slightly furrowed; her skin, originally as white as jade, flushed with a strange red, and a hint of inexplicable bewilderment appeared in her purple eyes.

But the Soul-Devouring Empress was indeed a master of illusions; her beautiful eyes quickly regained their clarity!

"What have you done to me?" The Soul-Devouring Empress retreated several more steps, looking at Ye Lin with shock and suspicion.

Although she had forcibly suppressed the state of bewilderment, the raging flames were still burning fiercely within her body.

Ye Lin was also suffering the torture of flames burning his body at this moment; he only felt the Dragon bloodline within him boiling completely!

With a flash, Ye Lin appeared before the Soul-Devouring Empress, gripped her fair, slender neck with one hand, and lifted her into the air; the Soul-Devouring Empress's breathing immediately choked.

"Dissolve the Dark Barrier for me! Now, immediately!"

Ye Lin's eyes flashed with an aggressive gaze; the Soul-Devouring Empress was no little girl, and she naturally understood what that look meant. Subconsciously, a look of disgust appeared on her face, and she said through gritted teeth:

"A lowly human like you is worthy of ordering me? Let me go! If you don't let go, I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

As the Soul-Devouring Empress spoke, she attacked Ye Lin directly; several strands of demonic energy instantly pierced through Ye Lin's body, strangling the vitality within him.

However, her strength was less than one-tenth of its peak, and with Ye Lin possessing an Undying Body, her attacks were completely ineffective against him.

Ye Lin didn't waste words with her; he swung the Soul-Devouring Empress and slammed her onto the ground, instantly creating an S-shaped crater in the floor.

"Will you dissolve it or not?" Ye Lin demanded.

The Soul-Devouring Empress's beautiful eyes were full of fury, staring at Ye Lin through gritted teeth; if looks could kill, Ye Lin would have already been hacked into pieces.

"I said, a lowly human like you is not worthy of ordering me!"

"Lowly?" Ye Lin sneered; he had originally only wanted to rely on Joy-Emptiness Dual Cultivation to control the Soul-Devouring Empress and take the opportunity to escape.

But now, he had changed his mind!

Damn it, a demon is a demon! At least she has a human form!

Ye Lin pinched the Soul-Devouring Empress's exquisite chin and asked coldly, suppressing his temper.

"Do you know how the Mother Demon King died in the finale of the Emperor of Zither?"

Before the Soul-Devouring Empress could answer, Ye Lin had already begun his actions.

The high and mighty Soul-Devouring Empress was pulled down from her throne by Ye Lin at this moment, her fair, flushed skin stained with large patches of dust.

Realizing what Ye Lin was about to do, the Soul-Devouring Empress's expression changed abruptly, and she threatened him with a fierce but cowardly tone.

"You dare touch me! You lowly human! I am a member of the Demon race with Imperial-level bloodline!"

Looking at the Soul-Devouring Empress's exquisite face, which was filled with disdain, Ye Lin's temper also flared up completely.

"Remember this expression! You had better be able to keep this expression for a while!"

The silk robe flew into the sky, drifting within the Dark Barrier.

In the pitch-black world, there was an extra flash of eye-catching snow-white.

Under the reinforcement of the Dragon bloodline, Ye Lin frantically assaulted the Dark Barrier, every strike with all his might; the Dark Barrier, which had remained unmoved under the impact of various Forbidden Spells, began to shake incessantly at this moment, as if it would collapse completely at any second.

Ye Lin finally understood what the great opportunity Bai Si had mentioned was; this opportunity was indeed great enough!

"Will you dissolve it? Will you dissolve it? Will you dissolve it?"

The look of disgust on the Soul-Devouring Empress's face had already vanished, but she kept her silver teeth tightly clenched, remaining silent, her beautiful eyes filled with intense killing intent.

Ye Lin also completely lost his patience; the duration of Joy-Emptiness Dual Cultivation was limited. If things continued like this, once the Soul-Devouring Empress recovered her full strength, he would suffer greatly.

Better the friend than the self; Ye Lin suddenly turned ruthless, determined to end the battle in one go.

"Since your mouth is so stubborn, I will let you experience the treatment of the Crown Princess of Wood Leaf!"

"Forbidden Spell—Multiple... oh no, One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!"
