Chapter 464: In the Killing March Toward Eternity Chapter 425 Discovery Two

Lin Fei held the USB drive in his hand while reading the information inside, answering at the same time.

"Indeed, in this world, without potential energy, psychics indeed cannot rely on potential energy to amplify themselves. Moreover, according to the results of Griffin’s research team, there’s no psychic ability either in this world. This means if psychics enter this world, they would lose all their powers except for their physical bodies."

Yuan Yicheng nodded, expressing his understanding.

Lin Fei continued, "Moreover, the air in this world is filled with the power of dreams everywhere. The power of dreams is actually a derivative of demonic power. I can feel that in this world the speed of my internal demonic power is increasing faster and faster. I can absorb a large amount of the power of dreams, which is almost infinite here. Therefore, this world is not only paradise for Griffin and his men but also a paradise for me."

Yuan Yicheng nodded and said, "It’s a pity we can’t gain any benefits here."

Lin Fei smiled.

The two quickly moved across the streets, carrying a person with them.

Bang!!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Lin Fei’s expression changed, and his empty left hand instantly disappeared and reappeared at the left side of his chest. With a snap, it appeared he had caught something.

He opened his palm, and a slender sharp bullet quietly lay in his hand, the bullet was yellow, and its tip was completely distorted; the brass casing was slightly reddened—this was caused by the intense friction a moment ago.

"It’s a sniper," Lin Fei said indifferently. With a light flick, the bullet in his hand disappeared instantly.

Two kilometers away, in front of a building window, a spot of scarlet blood suddenly burst open, splashing the glass with red.

Lin Fei remained unconcerned and continued walking forward.

"Moreover, what’s interesting is that this world is very similar to Earth, according to the information collected on this USB drive. According to some experts’ analysis, this should be a corresponding world or universe to Earth. They propose a theory called the Mirror Theory. Experiments have also proven that this world indeed matches this theory."

"Mirror Theory?" Yuan Yicheng asked, puzzled, "Does it mean this place is a mirror image of Earth?"

Lin Fei shook his head, "Not exactly, it just means that this timeline is in fact a replica of our own timeline. But this replication only pertains to non-biological similarities, it might be more appropriate to call it a companion universe. Here, the natural environment is not much different from our original world. Or perhaps it’s very similar. And coincidentally, this place has also developed a world similar to Earth’s technological civilization. Some names are also exactly the same, for example, the United Kingdom, the five continents, and the like. However, from this point, it’s hard to say that the two worlds don’t have any additional connection."

He paused. Fell silent, then continued, "Just consider this place as another world. Of course, that’s not the main point here."

"The main point?" Yuan Yicheng looked perplexed.

"The main point is that the separation between this world and our world is only a very thin membrane. From the memory of the Monster Clan’s heritage in Elisa’s Gate and the concentration of the power of dreams and demonic power in this world. I suspect, this place might just be the legendary Demon Realm!"

The Demon Realm was a definition Lin Fei knew from the memory of Elisa’s Gate.

In ancient times, the original masters of the Monster Clan were incredibly powerful, conquering an entire space-time to serve as the foundation for their race. But all along, this has only been a claim, never proven.

A trace of longing flashed through Lin Fei’s eyes.

"The ancient Monster Clan’s original masters were so powerful they could twist space-time, and just then they encountered the Sword Dao Royal Court, conquering countless planes. Such a magnificent era!! It’s a pity I cannot witness that grandiose spectacle myself..."

Yuan Yicheng nodded.

"Your suspicion makes sense, but the previous Sword Master seems different from you. He never summoned any Sword Canon powers. He simply regarded the Sword Canon as a tool to enhance himself, relying completely on nothing external. In the end, he perished alongside the strongest original masters of the Monster Clan, causing us to know nothing about the previous generation’s Sword Master."

Lin Fei indifferently said, "No matter, whether this is the Monster Clan’s space or not, we just need to test it."

"Test?" Yuan Yicheng frowned, confused.

Lin Fei casually sat down on a bench by the street. Then, he set down Annis who he had been holding beside the bench.

"Stop pretending and wake up," he said lightly.

Annis’s eyelids fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.

"What... what are you really??" She knew that at this stage, since they had chosen to save her, she must have a value they needed. There likely wouldn’t be an immediate threat to her life. Thus, she directly asked the question that everyone in this world was most concerned about.

Lin Fei looked at her with interest.

"What do you think we look like?"

Annis choked up. Staring wide-eyed at Lin Fei, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"Sorry, I want to use your body for an experiment. You won’t mind, will you?" Lin Fei said with a gentle smile.

Annis opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, only to find that she couldn’t make any sound.

Lin Fei shrugged.

"I’ll take your silence as consent then~~" His smile grew even more gentle.

Annis’s face slowly broke out in cold sweat. She opened her mouth, exhaling forcefully, yet she couldn’t make a sound. She instantly understood that the other party didn’t want her to refuse.

She struggled to get up from the bench, staggering toward the empty street.

Lin Fei pointed her finger. Hiss.

A thin stream of demonic power flew out from her fingertip, turning into grayish-white bits of stone and gravel that formed chains, encircling Annis who hadn’t gotten far.

Annis fell to the ground all at once. Rings of gray-white sand chains completely encircled her, like a white snake.

A hint of expectation appeared in Lin Fei’s eyes.

"In the outer world, I had tested that demonic power cannot integrate into the body of an ordinary person. The human constitution in our world is not suitable for merging with demonic power. So, one way to determine if this place is a Demon Realm is to experiment and see if the humans here can integrate demonic power. This is also one of the characteristics of the Demon Realm according to inherited memories."

Yuan Yicheng nodded calmly.

They both watched Annis, who was being increasingly tightly bound by the gray-white sand chains.

Neither spoke, just watched as the gray-white sand chains continuously tightened around her.

This originally beautiful woman opened her mouth in pain, attempting to scream, but no sound came.

Hiss...

Suddenly, a soft sound was heard, and all the gray-white sand chains instantly merged into her body. Lin Fei’s will, mingled with the demonic power, also merged into Annis’s body.

In an instant, Annis became completely calm.

Her head hung low, long hair straight and soft, covering her face.

"Did it work?" Yuan Yicheng asked in confusion.

Lin Fei didn’t answer but walked straight over.

"How does it feel? The feeling of rebirth?" he asked softly.

Annis slowly lifted her face.

Her eyes had pupils like wild beasts, glowing faintly golden.

"What have you done to me!!??" she roared, low and hoarse, like some wild beast encountering the natural world, crazy yet full of fear. As if Lin Fei was her natural predator.

Lin Fei knew this was his natural repression as the Original Master over low-level monsters. According to his memories, the Monster Clan was divided into two major parts; one was the Original Masters who could freely control demonic power, and the other was the monster creatures who couldn’t. Demonic power was traceless, and Lin Fei became the Original Master, initially relying on cultivating True Force through the Sword Canon to discover the existence of demonic power. He included demonic power in his cultivation system right from the start. Later, the Divine Artifact mediated things, allowing his body to gradually adapt to demonic power and control it. Later, Lin You’s Holy Spirit’s Blood even allowed him to slightly merge demonic power with True Force, causing his physique to undergo a subtle and strange transformation, possessing both the Original Master’s aura and the fluctuations of True Force.

Lin Fei watched Annis closely.

The woman in front of him, besides the change in eye color, had no other significant changes, still looking the same as before. His will, together with the demonic power, naturally circulated inside Annis’s body, everything inside her transparent in his sight. Thus, he was very clear about the changes.

"Strength doubled, skin strength of the body increased a bit, though not noticeably, recovery and neural perception enhanced. However, these changes came at the cost of sacrificing a lot of her rationality. The result of demonization is merely a somewhat stronger ordinary beast."

Lin Fei wasn’t disappointed because this outcome indicated that this place was indeed very likely to be the mythical Demon Realm.

"However, after being demonized, she can naturally absorb the power of dreams from the air, forming demonic power, although very little..." Lin Fei looked surprised. He could feel tiny threads of demonic power slowly flowing from Annis into his own body.

"It’s somewhat similar to the True Force seeds..." he murmured. "But the True Force seeds are originally based on the power of the Divine Artifact and the Divine Artifact itself was created by the Original Masters—this might originally be one of the Original Masters’ abilities!"

Suddenly, a surge of eerie unknown information rushed into Lin Fei’s mind.

In the endless darkness, a giant black armor slowly stood, as if it had existed for countless years. It was the same armor he had seen before, the one closely related to the legacy of demonic power...

His eyes instantly cleared.

Lin Fei’s expression changed, and he swiftly turned his head, looking towards the direction from which they had come.

Thousands of kilometers away, on top of a bell tower, that golden figure was also remotely looking this way.

"Griffin..." Lin Fei muttered, distinctly seeing faint golden patterns slowly emerging in the other’s eyes.

Those patterns, identical to the one between his brows.

Griffin quietly watched, a circle of black flames suddenly rising behind him. Those were the flames of the Black Flame Demon Lord.

"Did you notice?" he looked serenely in the distance, his pupils with golden patterns almost identical to his own.

"Then, let’s see who is faster in seizing the legacy... the Original Master of the Ice Crystal." Griffin said with a soft laugh. (To be continued.
