The figure of the inner demon swayed like a surging wave, seemingly about to vanish into thin air at any moment.
However, facing Qin Feng, he appeared unusually calm, even saying with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you know why I don't dodge?"
Qin Feng frowned slightly and remained silent. He knew that his punch had struck the inner demon, and the opponent would surely be annihilated; further words were pointless.
Seeing that Qin Feng had no reaction, the inner demon revealed a ferocious and terrifying smile, and said with a sneer, "I didn't dodge only because I knew you had the ability to destroy me."
Then, he changed his tone and continued, "Unfortunately, with your current abilities, you are not yet able to completely wipe me out."
"At some crucial moment in the future, I will surely return to this world. At that time, you will certainly not escape death!"
After saying this, the inner demon let out a burst of maniacal laughter, "And I will take over your body, ascend to the pinnacle of all realms, and become the supreme ruler! I will make all the heavens and myriad realms submit to me!"
After saying that, the demon's body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of pitch-black mist that vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
It was as if everything I had seen before was just an illusion, something that had never actually existed.
Just then, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The originally desolate and bleak place was transformed into a lush and verdant place filled with ethereal energy.
Qin Feng looked down at the iron-eating beast he was riding, his expression relieved. He secretly rejoiced that he had finally broken free from the strange illusion of inner demons.
According to Liu Shen, as long as he can break free from the illusion of inner demons, he can escape this strange space.
However, he waited for a long time but saw no unusual signs.
He frowned and murmured, "Could it be that the Willow God is deceiving me?"
"No, that's unlikely. There's no reason for Goddess Liu to deceive me!"
"But there's nothing unusual at the moment. Could it be that a dramatic change has occurred here that even the Willow God is unaware of?"
Qin Feng's expression shifted between light and dark, his eyes darting around as he looked around, trying to find something suspicious.
However, after a long time, everything remained calm and he did not notice anything unusual.
Qin Feng looked utterly dejected, muttering to himself, "Could it be that something truly happened here that even the Willow God doesn't know about?"
Just then, the Iron-Eating Beast suddenly raised its right foreleg high, pointing it straight ahead.
Qin Feng was taken aback, then quickly looked straight ahead and saw a palace floating in the endless dark void.
With just one glance, Qin Feng recognized that this palace was exactly the same as the palaces conjured by the mysterious runes he had seen before.
The palace has three floors, all with gilded walls. Although it only has three floors, it appears magnificent and grand.
At that moment, the palace slowly floated towards him.
Qin Feng's face lit up with joy: "Could it be that entering the palace will allow me to leave this space?"
A moment later, the palace floated up to Qin Feng's head and stopped.
Without hesitation, Qin Feng immediately urged the Iron-Eating Beast to leap into the air, instantly arriving at the steps in front of the palace gate.
Without Qin Feng giving any instructions, the Iron-Eating Beast started walking towards the palace gate.
Just ten steps away from the palace gate, Qin Feng keenly sensed a terrifying pressure that made his heart tremble and his hair stand on end, surging towards him like a tidal wave.
The oppressive force was so heavy and oppressive, like Mount Tai pressing down on him, that he could hardly breathe and even had the illusion that he was about to be crushed into dust.
Qin Feng's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy. He looked down nervously at the huge iron-eating beast beside him, only to be surprised to see that the iron-eating beast was trembling violently all over, and its four thick and strong legs were swaying like candles in the wind, as if it would be unable to withstand the pressure and kneel down at any moment.
Upon witnessing this bizarre and terrifying scene, Qin Feng's heart sank. He knew something was wrong and immediately roared at the Iron-Eating Beast, "Back off at once!!"
Unexpectedly, the iron-eating beast not only showed no sign of backing down, but resolutely lifted its heavy feet and continued to stride toward the palace gate without hesitation.
Just then, something strange happened.
Suddenly, a dazzling cyan-yellow light burst forth from the Iron-Eating Beast's body, enveloping Qin Feng and himself like an indestructible shield.
In an instant, Qin Feng was utterly astonished to find that the terrifying pressure surrounding him was rapidly diminishing and dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes widened in disbelief as he muttered to himself, "No way..."
"The Iron-Eating Beast actually possesses such amazing and unpredictable abilities?"
"It seems my understanding of it before was far too superficial..."
As the iron-eating beast quickened its pace, they soon arrived at the palace gate.
The moment the Iron-Eating Beast stepped across the palace threshold, the terrifying pressure emanating from Qin Feng, as if Mount Tai were crushing an egg, vanished instantly.
The iron-eating beast stopped, its large, copper-bell-shaped eyes flashing with sharp, alert light as it cautiously surveyed its surroundings.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkling with anticipation as he stared intently at the mysterious blue light screen directly in front of him.
Without a doubt, this blue light screen is the teleportation array that can take them away from this strange space.
Qin Feng looked around briefly, then gently patted the Iron-Eating Beast beside him and said softly, "Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, the Iron-Eating Beast strode confidently toward the blue light screen.
The moment the Iron-Eating Beast stepped into the blue light barrier, a dazzling blue light flashed like lightning. Instantly, Qin Feng and the Iron-Eating Beast seemed to be swallowed up by a powerful force and disappeared without a trace.
...
Qin Feng felt dizzy and disoriented.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself outside the cave he had initially entered.
He looked around; the surroundings were dark and gloomy, as if he were in a dreamlike illusion.
Recalling everything that had just happened, Qin Feng couldn't help but wonder: were those scenes real, or just a dream?
However, the iron-eating beast he was riding told him that what had happened before was not a dream.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, and muttered to himself, "Lu Yunxi, Tang Shiyun, was everything I witnessed in the illusion of the inner demons real?"
\"well......\"
Qin Feng let out a long sigh, a complex expression in his eyes.
He desperately wished it were all just a false illusion, but deep down he harbored some doubts about what his inner demons had said.
After all, inner demons can often see into the deepest fears and desires of a person.
"Never mind, I'll ask Lu Yunxi directly when I have the chance to see her again!"
Qin Feng made up his mind. He knew that if he couldn't get to the bottom of this matter, this knot in his heart would linger forever, and eventually it would turn into an incurable mental illness.
Mental illness, over time, will create cracks in one's mind, giving inner demons an opportunity to take hold.
Therefore, he must find out the truth of the matter no matter what.
Only in this way can he maintain a clear and peaceful mind and avoid being corrupted by inner demons.
