Chapter 213 Lin Fan’s inner demons
“I’m so powerful now.”
Lin Fan left the monster city, feeling extremely strong. He was in urgent need of elites to fight and help him understand where he stood in the world strength-wise. I still have a long way to go, arrogance is not something I can easily afford.
But I’m unable to control my emotions. I’m really too excited now.
Lin Fan took out the map and looked at it closely.
Dangerous sky valley!
I was previously afraid to go there because of the Heaven Star Border Stage Two elite stationed there.
But now, I’m very strong, and I need the care and concern of an elite.
The Sunshine sect is a great place. I can fight all I want. Even though I might die under the hands of an elite. It’s all fine and amongst second-rate cultivators, there’s nothing major to fear.
The Magnificent Flame Sect was now in a mess both internally and externally There might be no intruders now, but the Divine religion had been making moves against the sect. Annoying.
My dream of a peaceful world might be difficult to come about, but it’s not impossible.
As long as I work hard and kill all those who dislike peace, the world will be able to achieve peace.
He walked on air and flew towards the Dangerous sky valley. It felt weird to have Earth energy blowing on his face. In no time, he disappeared from sight. Night fell, and the sky turned dark.
Lin Fan sat on a branch and looked around him. He took out his cauldron and started to make some food.
The Imperial Cauldron of Heavenly River was really great. It has great storage capacity and it provides an infinite amount of water. Every time I cook, the water used up is only a small portion of the total water inside.
I’ll now need to find and kill another one. I will clean it and make it into some food. After eating, it will be cultivation time. Experience points might come easily sometimes but I must not forget about cultivation. I have to cultivate every second I have.
I can earn Six hundred thousand experience points in a day now.
When I breakthrough to stage eight, I used up seven million experience points. I should need eight million experience points at least to breakthrough stage nine now.
It might seem to be a huge sum, but I will be able to achieve it after staying awake and not taking any breaks for about ten days.
As of now, my points and foundation are the most important things. When my foundation is strong enough, cultivation will be a breeze. “Who is it?”
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt that there was somebody around him. He let out a short sneeze, but the darkness surrounding him remained so silent that he could hear a pin drop. It was as if it all was Lin Fan’s illusion.
“Aren’t you coming out?”
– This is tough. I don’t like people who hide in the dark. It’s too quiet.~
“The Startling Dragon Palm”
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan sent an attack out, causing the trees to collapse and forming a huge pit in the ground. But afterwards, it was still totally silent afterwards. “Hehe!”
Just then, a burst of evil laughter could be heard coming from all over the area. As if it was demonic music, it rang in Lin Fan’s ears.
It was a laughter that had the ability to tempt one and make one degenerate mentally.
However, it did not affect Lin Fan a single bit.
“Don’t pretend to be a god or ghost, come out if you dare to and look at how I’ll make your brain explode.” Lin Fan looked around him warily. He’s something huh, to be so mysterious. He must have strong cultivation.
Is it that the god knew that I’m being arrogant, that’s why he sent me such an opponent?
“Hehe!”
He heard the strange laughter again. But there was still no one to be seen. Suddenly, changes could be seen taking place to the surroundings. He could see numerous lights appearing out of nowhere.
And his surroundings suddenly became distorted. It was as if Lin Fan was going into another space.
When he opened his eyes, he realised that he was no longer surrounded by trees, but a blood coloured battlefield. A moon that was of the colour of blood hanging on the sky, shining brightly in red. The red coloured moon seemed to have the ability to control one’s emotion and make a person easily frustrated.
He was surrounded by red-colored walls. The ground was filled with a huge number of red-colored corpses, extending towards the opposite wall. Currently, Lin Fan was standing on the pile of bodies.
“Lin Fan, you’re powerful, but you had gained power at a speed that’s too fast. Don’t you feel that you have killed too many people? All of them are currently searching for you.” The voice came from all around him.
“Who are you? Show yourself now. I’m in a rush and I don’t have time to waste.” Lin Fan kept his guards up while standing in the sea of corpses.
“Answer my question. Don’t you feel that you have killed too many people? You’re just venting your urge to kill. You are now murder-obsessed.”
“Look, they are all the people that you have killed.”
Suddenly, the corpses on the ground stood up, as if there was somebody controlling them.
“Controlling the dead? A good skill indeed.” Lin Fan looked at the densely packed corpses surrounding him and nodded.
“Don’t you know them? Don’t you recognize them?” The voice screamed.
Lin Fan looked at the corpses. “Nope. Who are you.”
“You…” There was a short pause. “You are now obsessed with killing innocents.”
“Obsession? That’s non-existent. It’s up to me whether I’m obsessed or not. And nobody is killing innocents. I’m creating peace. Shut up if you don’t know anything.” Lin Fan frowned. This space was weird. It felt as if everything was fake. There’s no energy in here.
“Hahahaha! Peace? Creating peace? You? You’re just massacring people.” He could hear the other party laughing arrogantly.
“There are many methods. And mine is the best and most straightforward. I’ll kill anyone that’s creating trouble so the world will have peace. Stop speaking so much nonsense and come out. Who the hell are you?” Lin Fan shouted in anger. When did such a powerful cultivator lay his eyes on me? How dare he play tricks with me during my mealtime? This is so frustrating. “Not a hint of remorse. I shall show myself, then.”
Suddenly, his surroundings changed. Many figures appeared. They all looked exactly like Lin Fan, and all wore the same expression.
“Oh, you gave me a scare. So you’re my inner demons. I was wondering what it was.” I initially thought that a powerful cultivator had made this space and trapped me in it, but the figures that looked exactly like me gave it away. It’s my inner demons. However, don’t they come by when you’re at the Earth Star Border Stage Nine and breaking through to the Heaven Star Border realm? I’m just an Earth Star Border Stage Eight now. Why are there such things?
“Hehe. You’re already obsessed. You must follow your heart to know your true self.” the inner demon laughed, trying to tempt Lin Fan into following his words. A mystical spirit was sent into Lin Fan’s brain.
How strong were the inner demons? Some powerful Earth Star Border Stage Nine cultivators died because they were unable to overcome this stage of the inner demons. This showed how powerful inner demons were.
That’s why Zhan Dihong from the Great emperor peak could be considered a talent. He made use of inner demons to cultivate and overcome tribulations successfully. However, he was prepared when he decided to challenge his inner demons. He would not have done so if he wasn’t.
Lin Fan shook his head. The mystical spirit shattered as soon as it reached his brain.
Lin Fan walked towards the inner demon and made eye contact with it. It was as if Lin Fan was looking at himself.
He raised his hand and caressed the inner demon’s face. “Are you the inner demon?”
“No. I am not. I am you.” The inner demon sneered.
Piak!
Lin Fan gave it a slap. “Speak the truth. Are you my inner demon?’
The inner demon was dumbfounded. They were the best at invading one’s mentality and revealing the darkest and weakest side of humans.
“Wow, you feel just like a human. You guys are really something else. But how dare you trick me with just this? Speak the truth. Are you my inner demon?”
Lin Fan gave it another slap. It might look just like me, but that’s the only thing we have in common!
I might not have researched them, but I know that they are from another space. When a person is born, the inner demons would be born with them and grow together.
If the person isn’t a cultivator, he would come across his inner demons when a serious event that changed his mentality took place in life.
But for a cultivator, it would appear when he reaches a certain realm, at the most suitable timing. Thus the inner demon was part of the person too, just a different spirit.
The inner demon was totally dumbstruck by Lin Fan’s slaps. “Look!” It screamed in a high pitch tone. “These corpses are all people you killed! They are coming for revenge. Look at how miserably they died!”
Those that Lin Fan once killed reappeared, looking extremely pathetic. “Remain dead if you died. How dare you come out and play tricks? I’ll kill you again!” Lin Fan side-eyed them and reached out his hand. He made his mace appear with his imagination and attacked all the corpses with it.
He turned all that the inner demon made into ashes.
The inner demon could not believe its eyes.
Piak!
Lin Fan raised his hands and sent another slap over. “Speak up. Are you the inner demon?”
The inner demon took a glance at the side of Lin Fan’s head. Disbelief could be seen in its eyes. I invaded his spirit previously. How can he still be this peaceful?
“I’m……you…” The inner demon said, revealing its sharp teeth.
Piak!
“Be honest! Are you the inner demon?” Lin Fan gave it a huge slap and kicked it to the ground. He started to smack it with his mace. “Tell me, are you the inner demon? Don’t scare people for nothing at night. Do you have nothing else to do?”
Lin Fan was bashing it violently.
The inner demon would have been turned into minced meat by now if it was human.
*But every time after the inner demon was crushed, it would reform back into Lin Fan.*
“You’re not a human……” The inner demon shrieked. “I have always been by your side, how can you be like this?”
Crack!
The surrounding space shattered as if glass, before disappearing
Lin Fan opened up his eyes to realise that his surroundings were the same. It was still as silent as before.
“Insane.” Lin Fan shook his head and turned to focus on the delicious soup inside his cauldron. He scooped up some with his spoon.
“Mhmm, nice. Delicious.”
