Chapter 198: Slaying Demons Eradicating Devils

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

“You are actually able to discover my true form. However, everything is useless. I’m going to eat you today. It has been a very long time since I feasted on a human’s flesh and blood. I’m really so hungry, too hungry…” That giant head let out weird cries. A black wind then manifested, wanting to tear Feng Lin into pieces to make it easier for it to swallow him.

This earthbound spirit was a demon whose movements were restricted; it could only move within a certain boundary. Hence, they would usually transform into old grannies, beautiful young ladies, widows…all sorts of forms in order to wait for their prey to enter willingly. Once their prey entered their boundary, they could simply swallow them up.

However, Feng Lin was astute enough to notice the truth. If he was fooled and was swallowed by the demon, the consequences would be unimaginably dire.

BOOM!

The demonic qi gusted wildly, and the stones and gravel on the ground started flying around. The giant head of the earthbound spirit rushed over in a frenzy, wrenching its mouth open and wanting to bite Feng Lin into pieces.

Feng Lin leaped up into the air. The earthbound spirit exhaled, generating a gust of black wind that sent stones shooting toward him.

Feng Lin unleashed a flurry of blows, rebounding those stones back to the earthbound spirit and causing it to scream in pain. It suddenly widened its mouth and drew in a deep breath, wanting to draw everything in.

A fearsome absorption force could suddenly be felt in the air.

Feng Lin’s body fell from the air rapidly, being drawn in by the earthbound spirit. If he entered the demon’s stomach, he most probably wouldn’t have his bones left. Everything would be devoured.

These demons had all sorts of bizarre and strange abilities. Thus, they could be extremely difficult to deal with.

Feng Lin used his spirit force and activated the Cloudsoar ability, resisting that absorption force as he peered downward.

Staring at the earthbound spirit’s body that was covered in a layer of black fog, his heart stirred. Earthbound spirits were a type of soul that remained bound to the earth due to their feelings of resentment and vengeance. By nature, they were a kind of demon with a spirit body.

Since this was the case, wouldn’t spirit attacks work against them?

Feng Lin unleashed his spirit force, converging it together and forming a sword of golden light. After that, he ferociously pierced the sword into the earthbound spirit’s forehead.

The moment his spirit sword pierced into his target, his mind felt as though it had fallen into a consciousness filled with sinister gloominess. There were countless chaotic thoughts here. Feng Lin didn’t hesitate, he controlled the sword intent of the golden sword and destroyed all of these evil chaotic thoughts within the consciousness.

The earthbound spirit cried in misery as its body began to dissipate, transforming into black smoke before vanishing into thin air. It only left behind a black-colored round-shaped object.

Feng Lin sent out a strand of his psychokinesis energy and moved the black pearl through the air into his hands. It felt cool to the touch.

Up until now, he had already obtained a total of three demon cores. These should be considered the equivalent to transcendent organs that were the essence of the demon’s cultivation. They were all extremely valuable.

Next, as Feng Lin continued walking through this land, there would frequently be demons and monsters appearing to attack him. There were all sorts of demons here: cats with two tails known as Nekomata, birds with human heads known as Ubume, and long-necked demons known as Hitouban…

He showed no mercy, destroying all of the supernatural creatures when he encountered them.

These supernatural creatures were either demons, devils, ghosts, or monsters. For the illusory beings like ghosts and devils, he would be fine as long as his spirit force was strong enough. He was able to destroy them easily since they had a spirit-based body. The earthbound spirit from before was a very good example of this.

Demons and monsters were tougher to deal with in comparison, as they possessed a physical body. Feng Lin had to exhaust a great deal of effort to destroy them.

There were many obstacles as he journeyed on. The demons and monsters here seemed endless in number and would lunge over the moment they sensed fresh blood and meat. However, all of them died miserable deaths under Feng Lin.

The different demons and monsters from the japanese mythology appeared one after another. This was truly a world of demons; there didn’t seem to be any native humans here.

Feng Lin had a look of contemplation on his face.

In japanese Mythology, ghosts, demons, monsters, and devils, were no different from immortals, gods, saints, and buddhas. The only difference was that they were worshiped and enshrined, and the others weren’t.

No matter how terrifying a monster was or how many humans it had eaten, as long as there were people who worshiped and enshrined it, it would be a deity. This was also the reason why a small country like Japan had over 800 million gods.

In actuality, according to the strict grading system of Huaxia Mythology, many of those japanese gods were simply over-exaggerated legends. They were not legitimate at all. There were simply too many evil divine beings that mortals couldn’t believe in, and they also weren’t able to maintain the order of the three realms.

All of this resulted in the grading of japanese gods becoming very low, and their authority was also very small.

Although the demons and monsters of japanese mythology were bizarre, their strength wasn’t that powerful. Compared to the demons and monsters of Huaxia Mythology who could destroy the world at a whim, their strength was simply of a different class. Only the Yamata no Orochi, Shuten-Doji, Daitengu, and the Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-tailed Fox) could be categorized as supreme demons.

Also, given that this pocket world was a fantasy land, the strength of the demons and monsters here would surely be reduced in comparison to the real demons and monsters.

As Feng Lin traveled, he showed no mercy, obliterating all demons and devils he came across.

After the devils and demons died, they would vanish and leave behind demon cores of different colors, which contained various types of wondrous energy within.

Without realizing it, the sky turned dark as heavy rain started to fall. Feng Lin found a dilapidated-looking temple. And after seeing that nothing was out of the ordinary here, he decided to stay there for the night.

After lighting a bonfire, he took out the demon cores he had acquired and started to survey them.

These demon cores greatly resembled the snake gall treasure pearls he had obtained from the Yamata no Orochi, but they were much smaller in size. Their energy level also wasn’t high. However, these demon cores served the same purpose as transcendent organs; they were the essence of life energy of the demons and monsters.

Seeing that the energy level in the demon cores was not too high, Feng Lin also couldn’t be bothered to concoct genetic potions with them.

Given his current vitality stats, even if he were to swallow a golden pellet now, he would still be able to digest the energy within.

Hence, to him, these small demon cores could simply be treated as snacks.

Feng Lin decisively took one up and swallowed it. The demon core instantly transformed into waves of warmth. He then activated the ‘transforming energy into qi’ technique and rapidly converted the energy contained in the demon core into genetic potential, storing it in his body.

Genetic potential +28%, +28%, +28%…

In total, he gained 336% worth of genetic potential from a single demon core.

Feng Lin was like a kid that ate a delicious candy. He licked his lips in satisfaction, and his hunger was not sated yet.

The quality of this demon core wasn’t in any way inferior to a perfect-grade genetic potion.

The demon cores contained the essence of the demons, and the effects were excellent.

However, Feng Lin felt that something was wrong. Why would the Japanese go through so much trouble, diving into the depths of the Mariana Trench just to obtain these demon cores?

Things didn’t feel right.

It would be great if he could capture one of them who came in here and get some answers from him!

Sadly, the space in this fantasy land of demons was simply too vast. Those who had entered seemed to have been teleported randomly through the pocket world. Feng Lin also had no idea where those Japanese were at.

But luckily, there were still over twenty days worth of time before the second round of examinations at Cosmos University. He wasn’t in a hurry at all. He had enough time to slowly play with these Japanese.

Feng Lin then sat down to adjust his breathing, using meditation to replace sleep as he also continued to cultivate.

The rain was extremely heavy, and it didn’t stop even when it was late in the night.

Pitter patter!

The sounds of someone rapidly making his way on the wet ground rang out. It was possible that this person had seen the light of the bonfire and was hurrying over.

“Is it Fuuma-kun or Yamashita-kun? Or is it the goddess? I’m Yamamoto Ishiro…” A loud voice drifted from afar, filled with the joy of having just survived a tribulation.

Feng Lin’s eyes opened wide, and he saw someone in black attire barging his way to the temple, resembling an ancient ninja. When that person saw Feng Lin, the smile on his face drastically changed as he howled in rage.

“Baka! Who are you exactly? How did you enter the Kusanagi secret realm?…”

Even before he finished speaking, Feng Lin already moved. His entire person transformed into after-images as he lunged over. Feng Lin’s hands took on the form of claws as he grabbed toward this man’s head, wanting to subdue him in a single move.

Chapter 199: The Pathetic Ninja

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

“Talk about the devil and the devil will arrive.”

Feng Lin had been worried about not being able to find the Japanese and behold, one of them just appeared before his eyes.

Such prey that came to him voluntarily, how could he let him off so easily?

Feng Lin leaped up in the air and swoop down like an eagle hunting its prey. His claw grabbed over, wanting to capture the Japanese.

The ninja saw how fierce Feng Lin was. He reacted extremely quickly and folded numerous hand seals. “Smoke Jutsu!”

Vapors appeared beneath his feet alongside with the sound of an explosion, completely engulfing him within the smoke.

Feng Lin’s claw force swept out, but the ninja had already vanished completely.

Ninjutsu?

Feng Lin stared at the surroundings as he silently mused.

Ninjas were considered a class of cultivators from ancient japanese records. They were proficient in using all sorts of secretive abilities and carried out assassinations in the dark.

Swish swish swish~

At the corner of his vision, three beams of green light flashed. Feng Lin sent out his palm strike over, knocking aside three shurikens. The shurikens were knocked to the ground, and they were coated in green poison with a terrible fishy smell.

“Great Fireball Jutsu!” A voice shouted.

A black silhouette jumped up from behind Feng Lin. After folding hand seals, he breathed out as a giant fireball erupted forth, causing the temperature to rise.

This ninja still needed to call out the name of his technique every time he attacked?

A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin’s lips. He crossed his arms before his chest and allowed the attack to hit him. Although he was uninjured, his clothes were burned and tattered, as ashes covered his face.

His gaze was like a sword. He discovered that the ninja had already hidden away like a cowardly mouse after that attack, not revealing any trace of his presence.

Feng Lin wasn’t feeling panicky at all. The so-called concealment arts of ninjutsu were all diversionary tactics. In truth, they were a sort of illusion, making use of sounds, line of sight as well as the formless and ethereal spirit force to create a misconception.

The silver light from the center of his brows shone brightly as his spirit force gushed forth. It was like a gentle wind breezing through all four directions, nothing could be masked from his perception. Very soon, he discovered something strange.

In a corner of the dilapidated temple, a black-robed figure could be seen. He had a bizarre-looking black cloth made from unknown materials in his hands and was currently using that to cover his body, hiding in the darkness.

The ninja’s presence was completely covered up. He stood there unmovingly, yet he didn’t know that he had already been detected by Feng Lin’s perception.

Feng Lin pretended not to notice and continued searching the surroundings while casually slowly making his way over. When he got to a near enough distance, he suddenly erupted with speed and instantly drawing close.

Vajra Dragon Claw!

The claws of Feng Lin instantly widened in the ninja’s vision. Claw shadows filled his surroundings, giving the ninja no room to evade.

Damn!

The ninja’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley. He initially wanted to mount a sneak attack when Feng Lin was unaware.

He didn’t expect that his presence would be revealed so quickly, and this young man even played around with him to close in. What a cunning fellow!

Feng Lin acted quickly, not giving the ninja any chance to breathe. The ninja basically had no space to hide and could only perform a series of hand seals with explosive speed.

Earth Evasion Jutsu!

His entire person sank into the ground like a drill.

Feng Lin’s claw grabbed the thin air, crushing the thin walls behind the ninja. He glanced at the hole on the ground only to see the ninja tunneling with great speed, like a rat scuttering underground.

“Wanting to leave?”

Feng Lin’s foot stomped lightly on the ground. He pushed off from the impact and became after-images, chasing after that ninja. His spirit force seeped under the ground, acting like radar and locking onto the position of that ninja.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

Feng Lin’s punches were like thunder, blasting out with ruinous might. The immense power used the air as a medium and acted like air cannons blasting the ground, causing the stones and gravel to fly around.

The ninja tunneled through the ground, and his forehead was covered in his perspiration. This man chasing him had an ordinary appearance and didn’t seem muscular at all. Why would his attacks be so tyrannical? He must be a brute.

As for him, what he used was ninjutsu and he was proficient in acting in the dark. If he was to fight in the open, he naturally wouldn’t be able to contend against such tyrannical might. He had to break away from it as quickly as possible.

The ninja continued tunneling underground, changing his directions frequently. Sadly, he started to discover that no matter what he did, he wasn’t able to break free from Feng Lin. All his actions were being tracked perfectly.

Under Feng Lin’s spirit force, all illusionary techniques were rendered useless. Once he locked onto you, there would be no way you could ever escape. That ninja gradually felt that he was forced to a dead end.

“This cannot continue on!”

The ninja gritted his teeth. The other party must have an unfathomable method to track him. Since he wasn’t able to escape, he would risk his life and struggle in a direct fight then.

A ninja who met the standard was one that had experienced countless slaughters. Their combat experience was extremely wealthy. This ninja understood his current situation and at this moment, a bestial aura awakened in his heart. Since he couldn’t hide, let’s fight then. He was prepared to fight Feng Lin with his life on the line.

BANG!

The surface of the ground exploded, and the ninja transformed into a cloud of black smoke as he leaped out. A katana could be seen in his hand as he slashed down from the air.

Slashing down with the force of the wind!

The edge of the sword gleamed sharply, slicing the air apart. A visible sword force manifested in the air, slashing downward with no mercy.

The destructive aura of the sword force was so great that the ground below was already riddled with holes.

Swish~

The ninja spun about in the air, slashing out strands of sword force that were as tightly packed as rain. After that, he drew strange-looking words on yellow-colored charms and tossed them out in the air. With a thunderous explosion, the yellow charms transformed into wind, fire, thunder, earth…all sorts of energy attacks as they engulfed Feng Lin completely.

Szzz~

Shurikens!

A cold light flashed in the surroundings.

Once the ninja gained an advantage, he directly went all-out in a ruthless manner, wanting to finish Feng Lin for good.

Ding, ding, ding!

Clouds of dust covered Feng Lin, and the sound of shurikens striking metal could be heard. Sparks could also be seen generated.

This sound was completely wrong!

After the clouds of dust dissipated, Feng Lin leaped out from it. Other than his clothing being ragged, he was completely uninjured.

“You had enough fun right? Next, it is my turn now!” Feng Lin coldly spoke. His formless spirit force formed a rope and tied the ninja up securely.

Psychokinesis?

The expression on the ninja’s face drastically changed. Psychokinesis shouldn’t be that powerful, right? Why was it so strong?

He felt that his body was bound by iron, he couldn’t even move at all.

Staring at the fear in his eyes, Feng Lin coldly smiled. How could this man know of the mysteries of the Sun Wukong Mythological Path?

His spirit gene was already strengthened to 6. Even for the formless and ethereal psychokinesis, his strength and control in this aspect were now extremely strong. He was able to lift objects up to six tonnes in weight. It was totally conceivable that the majority of humans wouldn’t be able to break free from his grasp.

Bone Contraction Jutsu!

The ninja might not be powerful, but he had many methods at his disposal. His body rapidly shrank and was like a boneless snake, slithering out from the rope.

Feng Lin sent out another strand of his spirit force, forming a large net that wrapped around the ninja.

Wall Penetrating Jutsu!

The ninja’s body turned illusory, transforming into smoke and wanting to pass through the net.

Feng Lin’s spirit force changed again. It became like the raging ferocious wind, forming a vortex that trapped the ninja within, not allowing him to escape.

Clone Jutsu!

His spirit force became like a sword and pierced out, destroying the clone with ease.

…

The ninja tried out all his techniques but had no way to run from Feng Lin.

To his despair, he discovered that all his methods were completely useless under Feng Lin’s spirit force. What a tragedy!
