100: Obsessed? Demon Emperor!

Following Lin Beixuan, Lin Yuan also walked out looking spirited within half a minute of his exit.

However, he was immediately teased by Lin Beixuan:

“Old Yuan, are you even capable? So slow.”

“Brother has been waiting for you for quite a while!”

Seeing Lin Beixuan’s smug expression, how could Lin Yuan tolerate this frustration!

“Get lost! I’m not incapable! You didn’t see it when I was fierce!”

“Besides, it’s not like you’re much better than me. You were still left behind by two Zu Di, hmph!”

Saying I’m not capable?

If I’m not capable, then you, Lin Beixuan, are also not capable!

“Old Yuan, you…”

Before Lin Beixuan could retort, a laugh came from the light gate again.

“Hehe, the two Zu Di are truly in high spirits.”

“It’s Lin Jinyan!”

The surrounding Lin Family members instantly recognized the owner of the voice; it was Lin Jinyan of the Lingxi Family.

Soon, another figure walked out.

“It seems Little Sister is still a step behind the Zu Di…”

A young girl wearing a green immortal dress sighed with some regret.

And the girl’s identity was the strongest Heavenly Emperor of the Tianhai Domain Family, one of the three strongest families.

Her beautiful name was Lin Xi!

“Haha, Zu Di Lin Xi isn’t slow either!”

...

Soon after Lin Xi, the strongest Heavenly Emperor of the Nanyang Family, Lin Ruoshui, also followed closely and stepped out of the Refining Heart Tower.

After that, the Lin Family members who walked out of the Refining Heart Tower became increasingly frequent, sometimes even appearing in groups of three to five.

Seeing the number of people who passed the test and walked out of the Refining Heart Tower increasing.

However, everyone discovered that Lin Ziye, one of the three most promising geniuses of the main Family to win the championship, had not been seen at all!

This caused many of the onlookers who favored Lin Ziye to win to stir.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t that kid Ziye come out yet?”

“He is a Genius as famous as Lin Beixuan and Lin Yuan. Logically, he shouldn’t be absent until now…”

“That’s right, even those brats whom he usually beat into submission have come out. With his talent, he should have come out much earlier than them.”

...

Regarding this, Lin Beixuan and Lin Yuan, who had the best relationship with Lin Ziye, were also a little anxious at this time.

After all, as personal participants, they knew that this test had a time limit, and once this time was exceeded and they had not yet emerged from the illusion test, they would be directly eliminated and lose the qualification to continue participating in the subsequent grand competition.

As for the time limit, it was one hour.

“What is Old Ye doing? Why isn’t he coming out yet? Now there are only the last 10 minutes left.”

Lin Yuan said anxiously.

Although they were opponents this time, he still didn’t want Lin Ziye to stop here. He hoped to have a fair fight with the other party in the final battle for supremacy.

“Let’s wait a little longer, Old Ye might be stuck on something…”

Lin Beixuan comforted him.

But his worried expression clearly showed his true feelings deep down.

Lin Yan and others nearby, who didn’t have much contact with Lin Ziye, didn’t say anything at this time, but they were still silently cheering for him in their hearts.

They also wanted to have a fair duel with this one of the three main Family geniuses participating in the grand competition in the final battle for supremacy.

...

At the same time, inside the mysterious and ancient Refining Heart Tower, Lin Ziye stood still like a statue, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if he had lost all consciousness and perception, his whole body motionless as if his Soul had been extracted.

However, if you look closely, you will find that compared to his previous state, Lin Ziye has undergone a huge change at this moment.

His forehead was densely covered with large beads of sweat, which kept sliding down his cheeks, soaking his clothes.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was enduring great pain; his teeth were clenched tightly, making his cheeks bulge high; even his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Although from the surface, Lin Ziye's facial expression was still expressionless, with a little attention, one could easily detect that at this moment, an uncontrollable anger was surging from the depths of his heart and quickly spreading throughout his face.

Not only that, as time passed, his expression became more and more hideous and distorted, gradually showing a state close to madness and frenzy...

Even more astonishingly, around Lin Ziye, faint traces of black energy began to slowly emerge.

These black energies swirled like smoke, faintly emitting a terrifying demonic aura that made people palpitate.

“Not good!”

“Big Brother, this kid Ziye, I’m afraid he’s going to become possessed!”

As one of the controllers of the Refining Heart Tower, Lin Tianyu naturally discovered Lin Ziye’s abnormality immediately and transmitted a message to Lin Tianhai.

And Lin Tianhai, as the other controller of the Refining Heart Tower, naturally also discovered Lin Ziye’s abnormality immediately.

So after receiving Lin Tianyu’s message, he didn’t know what to do for a while.

After all, in this situation, even if they forcibly woke Lin Ziye, it would be of no help.

The inner demon has already bred. Even if he is awakened, the inner demon still exists. If Lin Ziye cannot get out on his own, the inner demon will gradually devour him and eventually completely become a demon…

And this demon Cultivator who becomes a demon through inner demons is the most terrifying, countless times more terrifying than those demon Cultivators who become demons through external objects.

Whether it is cultivation speed or destructive power, they are far beyond what other demon Cultivators can compare to.

Tens of millions of years ago, the Southern Nether Continent once saw a peerless demon, named Heavenly Demon Great Emperor, whose cultivation strength was rumored to have exceeded the upper limit of the Southern Nether Continent and reached the level of an immortal, bringing endless disaster to the Southern Nether Continent at that time.

The war of unification initiated by the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor even affected all races on the Southern Nether Continent, causing countless Cultivators and forces to perish, and even many races disappeared in the long river of history as a result.

Under the leadership of the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor, this peerless demon, the Demonic Path reached an unprecedented Peak. After the war began, countless demon Cultivators began to frantically slaughter various races. Since the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor's strength was too powerful and no one could stop him, even though all races at that time united to resist the Demonic Path, they were still defeated step by step.

Seeing that the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor was about to completely unify the entire continent, at this time, a peerless powerhouse named Nanming Heavenly Emperor emerged, fighting the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor for a whole year. During this period, even the Southern Nether Continent, which was originally integrated, was shattered and turned into the current five continents.

The battle between the Nanming Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor finally ended with the Nanming Heavenly Emperor defeating the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor, but the Nanming Heavenly Emperor could not completely obliterate the Heavenly Demon Great Emperor. In the end, he could only reluctantly Seal him in the Town Demon Abyss in the Central Province, guarded by strong individuals jointly dispatched by the Human and Demon Clans. Thus, that tragic war finally ended after 5 years, and the Nanming Heavenly Emperor’s whereabouts are unknown.

And finally, people learned that this peerless demon was originally just a Young Master from an insignificant Family. After experiencing the disaster of his Family being destroyed, he became a demon through his inner demons and then grew at an extremely fast speed, becoming that peerless Demon Emperor who shook the world.

Since then, whether it is the Human, Demon, or other races, in addition to constantly eliminating the forces of the Demonic Path, they have also launched a large-scale pursuit of those who become demons through inner demons, just to prevent the appearance of the next “Heavenly Demon Great Emperor”.

As for how to distinguish those who have become demons through inner demons?

It can only be said that the world is never short of geniuses.

After hundreds of years of joint research and deduction by countless forces, a Magical Artifact called the Demon Discernment Plate was successfully created.

Since then, it has become the nightmare of countless demon Cultivators who have become demons through inner demons!
