Chapter 2202 - 2191: Heart Demon of the Transformation Path

Lin Zifeng felt relieved, yet couldn’t help feeling shocked; at that time, the Heavenly Thunder striking towards him in the wasteland could be slightly hindered by Space Gravity, but against this Divine Power, it had no effect!

That means, the power contained in Divine Power is much stronger than Heavenly Thunder!

Just as Lin Zifeng realized this, he felt a tightness all around as an invisible force bound him, making breathing difficult. Gasping for air, Lin Zifeng lifted his head and saw Mu Ruoyun with a light smile, pretending to be arrogant as she said: "Hmph, you actually dared to doubt that I didn’t lend you my power. This time I’ll give you a minor punishment as a major lesson to see if you dare to speak recklessly again."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Zifeng felt the chains formed by the golden cage tightening around him with increasing force. He felt as if his throat was being choked by a giant hand, making air incredibly precious.

With his face turning red and gasping for breath, Lin Zifeng saw Mu Ruoyun looking sideways at him with feigned anger, sneakily watching him with the corner of her eye, and he finally understood what was going on.

Regarding Mu Ruoyun’s personality, if he continued to stubbornly resist, she would definitely torment him for a while longer. But if he pretended to be submissive and praised her now, perhaps Mu Ruoyun might even teach him this Divine Power...

With this thought in mind, Lin Zifeng was about to speak when he suddenly felt the restraint disappear. Instinctively, he opened his mouth wide, taking deep breaths of fresh air.

"A greedy heart swallowing an elephant!"

The voice like an oriole leaving the valley carried a hint of reproach, and Lin Zifeng just felt Mu Ruoyun’s small hand knock on his head, helplessly realizing that she could clearly know his thoughts in this Illusion Realm.

"Hmph, you even want to use Divine Power, such greed!" Mu Ruoyun said fiercely, then angrily twisted Lin Zifeng’s ear lying on the ground.

"Ah..."

A miserable cry echoed across the grassland, and it was a long time before Lin Zifeng stood up, muttering with dissatisfaction: "Damn, not only is Divine Power abnormal, but this girl’s strength is also so big, she doesn’t know how to hold back..."

"What did you say?"

Mu Ruoyun’s icy voice entered Lin Zifeng’s ears, causing him to feel a chill on his spine, quickly halting his speech, and turning around with a smile: "Nothing, I was saying how extremely wise Miss Mu is..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Ruoyun waved her hand to stop him and said: "Alright, alright, no need to banter, let’s talk about something important. This girl’s time is very precious."

With his expression serious, Lin Zifeng no longer had a playful demeanor, asking solemnly: "Hmm, why did you say earlier that I can’t use Divine Power?"

For this formidable power, Lin Zifeng was particularly eager to possess it. If he could have Divine Power, he could instantly defeat entities like the Five Supreme Venerables or the three Venerable Lords.

With a cold snort, Mu Ruoyun folded her hands, pressing together her chest even more impressively, causing Lin Zifeng’s heart to flutter involuntarily.

"Divine Power, as the name implies, is the power that only deities can wield, and what I’ve demonstrated was given to me by Lord Mu En."

Seeing Lin Zifeng nod, Mu Ruoyun continued: "But don’t forget, in his lifetime Lord Mu En’s physical strength reached an almost undying Realm, and the materials used to make the Magic Bracelet are extremely resilient, capable of bearing such a load."

Finished speaking, Mu Ruoyun turned to look at Lin Zifeng’s confused face, her gaze akin to a strong man watching a child.

After a long while, Mu Ruoyun rubbed her fair forehead, speaking with a hint of helplessness: "Why are you so stupid? I’m saying your physical strength is too weak!"

Damn! So, all you want to say is that I’m inadequate!

Lin Zifeng felt dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but saw Mu Ruoyun pointing at him, saying: "To wield powerful strength, one must pay an equivalent price. Divine Power is the same; the burden on your body is beyond what you can bear."

"With your current strength, even if I lent you Divine Power, you wouldn’t be able to handle it before conjuring a character, and you’d explode and die!"

Although Mu Ruoyun’s words left Lin Zifeng very dissatisfied, he internally felt no desire to refute. She was right; compared to the Realm Mu Ruoyun had reached, he was still far too weak.

When he forcefully broke through to the Saint Realm, he ended up with this result; if he recklessly tried to use Divine Power again, at most... he would perish alongside others.

Nodding helplessly, Lin Zifeng said with a lazy tone: "After all, the Space Gravity only strengthened a bit, and nothing else really improved."

With a mysterious smile, Mu Ruoyun’s words sounded like heavenly music, causing a great storm to arise in Lin Zifeng’s originally calm heart: "There’s definitely more, but I have found a way for you to vanquish your Heart Demon."

"What is it! Tell me quickly!" Without hesitation, after hearing this, Lin Zifeng suddenly grabbed Mu Ruoyun’s soft and boneless arm, shaking her delicate body.

Put off guard by Lin Zifeng’s sudden action, Mu Ruoyun freed herself from his grip and advised: "Don’t be happy too soon. Have you forgotten that the stronger you are, the more formidable your Heart Demon becomes?"

With Mu Ruoyun’s reminder, Lin Zifeng finally calmed down to ponder. Last time, he was forced to break through to the Saint Realm, leading to the inability to continue on the Transformation Path.

Though outwardly indifferent, Lin Zifeng knew that it was an unerasable regret and pain in his heart.

And now Mu Ruoyun told him she had a way for him to slay his Heart Demon and embark on the Transformation Path, finally fulfilling his inner regrets, how could he not be thrilled.

Yet, even as he rejoiced, Lin Zifeng felt a surge of concern. Mu Ruoyun wasn’t wrong; the stronger one is, the stronger the Heart Demon. His powers are already beyond an ordinary Saint, and in facing the Heart Demon, the outcome is uncertain.

If Lin Zifeng wins, everything would be in his favor, and he would embark on the Transformation Path; if he loses to the Heart Demon, the light consequence is Deviation with complete loss of Cultivation, and the severe consequence is severed meridians and death from vomiting blood.

Moreover, even if he battled the Heart Demon, his Saint aura couldn’t be hidden, and if the Five Supreme Venerables find him, they would shred him to pieces before the Heart Demon took action!

More immediately, he needed to help Dongfang Ziyue solve the living sacrifice issue and then search for his mother’s whereabouts.

So, remaining in the Saint Realm will have to suffice; as long as he’s cautious, there shouldn’t be too much danger within the Ancient Demon Clan. This is crucial for Lin Zifeng, as it concerns life and death.
