368: System! Start the antivirus program!

"Hahaha, kid, your skills aren't bad, and the wine is good too."

After a few cups of fine wine and some freshly grilled spirit fish, the talkative old man was full of praise.

"Thank you for the praise, Senior. Junior only knows a bit of cooking; it is truly an honor to be praised by Senior."

Inside the Little Lakeside Residence, the three of them feasted.

At this moment, there was no distinction of race or world.

After a long while, heaven and earth were suddenly shaken.

The commotion was so great that the ground shook incessantly.

At the dining table, the expression of the old man who had been silent the whole time suddenly changed. He placed a piece of unpolished jade in front of his wine cup and immediately vanished from the spot.

"Leaving, leaving."

"Good lad, this old man won't eat your meal for free. Take this Jade Slip and remember to Cultivate well."

"If there's a chance, the three of us should drink together a few more times!"

Before he could react, the talkative old man also left an object behind and vanished.

"Two Seniors..."

From the clinking of glasses to being left alone, it took less than two breaths of time.

He stood dazed on the spot, not quite having recovered his senses.

When the young man finished checking the unpolished jade and the Jade Slip on the table, he was even more astonished. "This... these are two Legacies!"

...A top-tier expert of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons has fallen!

The Star Moon True Spirit of the Star Soul Clan has slain a Demon Lord!

After this news was released, all living beings in the Light Mark Great World rejoiced.

Thirty years! In the thirty years since the invasion of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons, a heavy blow has finally been dealt to them.

But soon, the retaliation of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons followed one after another.

After several battles driven by venting anger, a large number of Cultivators in the Light Mark Great World were killed or injured.

However, compared to slaying a top-tier expert, the casualties of these lower and middle-level Cultivators were hardly any price at all.

During this period, top-tier experts of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons were also secretly looking for opportunities, wanting to plot the assassination of top-tier experts from the Light Mark Great World.

However, the top-tier Cultivators of the Light Mark Great World were far too steady. The two sides clashed occasionally, but regardless of whether they could win, they maintained great restraint.

In the thirty-fifth year, after so many years, the impact of the Demon Lord's fall still remained.

The morale of the Light Mark Great World remained stable, and through continuous fighting, both sides gained a deeper understanding of each other's tactics and strength.

The Cultivators of the Light Mark Great World began to study the weaknesses of the "Outer Realm Heavenly Demons," developing targeted Cultivation Techniques based on the different Demon Races.

The "Outer Realm Heavenly Demons" also noticed the changes in the Cultivators of the Light Mark Great World. They began to change their strategy, no longer blindly attacking but instead using sneak attacks and harassment to disrupt the deployments of the Light Mark Great World's Cultivators.

They also took advantage of their ability to transform into human forms to sneak into other parts of the Light Mark Great World via Teleportation Arrays, causing significant losses to the Cultivators behind the Demon Suppressing Palace.

Unwittingly, this war had evolved into an all-around contest.

The two sides were not only slaughtering each other on the battlefield but also engaging in fierce competition for resources, intelligence gathering, and other aspects.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the cruelty of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons in slaughtering all life... Meanwhile, within the Tianxing Martial Pavilion in the Wenzhou Domain of the Star Soul Clan, Ling Peng was currently meditating.

Under his guidance, the power of the heaven, earth, and starry sky gradually converged toward his body.

However, during his Cultivation, an unsettling aura emerged that made Ling Peng feel uneasy... "Ling Peng, Ling Peng, we finally meet."

"Who exactly are you! Why have you appeared in my Divine Sense world!"

"Ling Peng, do you really want to know who I am that badly?"

"You can come closer and see..."

"Hehe, there's no need."

"System! Start the anti-virus program!"

In an instant, the System let out a 'ding' sound, wiping the unsettling aura clean just as it was about to take shape.

[Ding, anti-virus complete!]

Ling Peng shook his head and continued to immerse his mind in Cultivation.

The Cultivation multiplier he drew today was decent; it couldn't be wasted.

However, when he Cultivated again, that unsettling aura suddenly reappeared in his Divine Sense world.

"Ling Peng... Ling Peng..."

"We meet again..."

The unsettling aura surged, intertwined, and converged, gradually manifesting a figure.

His physique and appearance were almost carved from the same mold as Ling Peng's.

The only slight difference was the faint, wicked smile that always hung on the corner of his mouth.

"A Heart Demon is at work!"

Within the Divine Sense world, Ling Peng looked at the Heart Demon not far in front of him, his expression solemn.

"Star Martial Phantom Thunder Finger!"

Brilliant arcs of electricity bloomed from his fingertips, and a hint of terrifying pressure erupted from Ling Peng's fingertips.

Beside him, the Void Realm distorted, as if in an instant, a massive lightning spear was triggered out of thin air!

The lightning spear blasted out, striking the Heart Demon's body not far away and blowing it to pieces.

But in the next moment, the unsettling aura gathered again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than two breaths, the Heart Demon took shape once more.

The Heart Demon "Ling Peng" kept his smile unchanged as he walked step by step toward the original Ling Peng.

"System! Anti-virus! Anti-virus again!"

Ling Peng panicked a bit, constantly calling out to the System.

Swish, swish, swish! The System wiped out the Heart Demon time and again, but the Heart Demon converged again and again.

"It's useless, Ling Peng."

"I am not Meng Ji's Heart Demon; I am... your Heart Demon!!!"

"System, stop anti-virus!"

As soon as the Heart Demon "Ling Peng" spoke, the System immediately stopped the anti-virus... [Ding, anti-virus has stopped!]

The System interface gradually dimmed. Ling Peng couldn't help but be shaken; the other party could actually command the System.

Being able to do such things beyond the scope of recognition was enough to prove the other party's uniqueness.

Not only was Ling Peng confused, but even the System's true form—Li Jinian—was full of curiosity.

As the ultimate source of all Systems, all Systems were his Clones; in essence, they were himself.

Except for those Clones carrying a small amount of heavenly dao origin that were heading to the unknown Void Realm in a silent state to find Fellow Countrymen, he could sense all other Clones at any time.

Although this Ling Peng was only an artificial Fellow Countryman, in order to better serve those true Fellow Countrymen, Li Jinian needed to conduct a thorough investigation into the current problem.

After all, a Fellow Countryman is a customer, and the customer is God.

If God is happy and gives a tip or a book review, wouldn't that be wonderful?

Therefore, Li Jinian developed a strong interest in the Heart Demon "Ling Peng" and quietly observed the development of the situation.

"Step... step... step..."

The Heart Demon "Ling Peng" approached step by step, allowing the attacks launched by the original Ling Peng to fall, only to take shape again and again.

As the other party's footsteps drew near, Ling Peng actually became less nervous, steady and calm, as if he had expected it long ago...
