Chapter 296 Black and White Reversed
Lin Fei has arrived in the Stone Tablet Demon Realm. The most important thing now is to hurry to the center of the Stone Tablet Demon Realm and find the place where Yuan Yi and Yuan Wu are imprisoned.
Lin Fei didn't want to stay in this Stone Tablet Demon Realm for even a moment longer. Every moment here required him to use his own true energy to resist the invasion of demonic energy. Moreover, this Stone Tablet Demon Realm was isolated from the outside world and could not receive any spiritual energy from the outside world to replenish it.
Even for a cultivator at the Dharma Aspect Realm, whose inner world is self-sufficient and can automatically replenish their spiritual energy, Lin Fei's true energy was still constantly decreasing under the influence of demonic energy. Although the rate of decrease was slow, like water dripping on a stone, over time, perhaps over several hundred years, the demonic energy within this stone tablet's demonic realm would be able to completely deplete a Dharma Aspect Realm expert into a mortal.
……
The space within this stone tablet's demonic realm is filled with a corrupting demonic energy that erodes the human heart; even Lin Fei cannot sense very far away.
He tried to sense the area with his divine sense, but the area he could perceive was only about ten miles around him, and it had also wasted a lot of his energy.
"As expected of a minor world created by an ancient emperor, the interior space of this Stone Tablet Demon Realm must be enormous." Lin Fei sighed inwardly, "It seems I need to find a native from within this space to guide me; I can't waste my spiritual energy in vain."
The space within this stone tablet's demonic realm was of unknown size, and Lin Fei dared not recklessly waste his spiritual energy. After all, in this place, true energy could not be replenished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and could only be restored by the internal energy within one's own being. If too much was wasted, the dangers ahead would likely be numerous.
Lin Fei expanded his divine sense to its maximum range, hoping to find the natives living in the Demon Realm of this stone tablet and guide them.
This Stone Tablet Demon Realm has been a place for imprisoning evil spirits since ancient times. The Jade Emperor Sect has imprisoned quite a few demons and monsters over the generations, so it is not difficult to find people who actually live in this inner world.
Before long, a group of strange-looking "natives" appeared in Lin Fei's consciousness.
……
The space within the Stone Tablet Demon Realm was almost barren, a desolate desert, due to the gathering of demonic energy.
A group of "people" are gathered on a sand dune.
They are called human only because they have human appearances, but they are still quite different from real humans.
They were entirely black, with thin, long limbs, blood-red eyes, and a small black horn on their foreheads, some long and some short.
The group was clearly divided into two factions. The ones on the outside were slightly stronger, while the two on the inside were thin and were surrounded by the ones on the sand dune, huddled together and shivering.
"Hehe, you two, where do you think you're going?" Suddenly, someone kicked the two who were hugging each other, sending them sprawling. He kept cursing, "Damn it, it's your good fortune that Grandpa is going to eat you. You still dare to run away?"
The two people embracing each other looked quite young, while the others outside appeared to be adults.
One of them suddenly shoved the person next to him outside: "Sir, my brother has delicate skin and tender flesh. If you want to eat him, eat him instead! Sir, spare my life, and I'm willing to join you and serve you like a slave!"
The other boy wasn't to be outdone and said directly, "Grandpa, my brother's cultivation is higher than mine, and the energy contained in his demonic heart is much greater. If you eat him, you'll definitely make a great leap forward in your cultivation!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the first boy gritted his teeth and said in rapid succession, "Sir, I know the location of a small, weak village. If you spare me, I will lead the way. With your cultivation level, the people in that village are all yours for the taking. If you eat them, your cultivation will surely advance greatly, and you might even become a Demon General!"
"Good!" The leader's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Before the second boy could continue speaking, he suddenly reached out and punched him, smashing the second boy's head to pieces.
"You're not bad, so I'll spare your life. But if you dare to lie to me, I'll devour you alive!" the leader-like man said to the first boy.
"I wouldn't dare lie to you, sir! I wouldn't dare lie to you, sir!" The young man nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice. "Sir, you are like my second parents. I would never dare to deceive you. From now on, my life belongs to you. I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
"Good, good, good!" The leader-like man laughed loudly, "You've got potential, kid. From now on, you'll follow me!"
As he spoke, he walked to the body of the already dead boy, reached into the shattered skull and dug for a while, finally pulling out a black bead. The bead was only the size of a pebble, and it was still pulsating slightly, like a heart.
"As expected of a low-level demon, this demon heart is far too small!" The leader snorted in dissatisfaction, while the others' eyes gleamed with longing upon seeing the demon heart.
Even the boy couldn't help but drool, as if the thing hadn't been taken from his own brother's corpse at all.
His face wore a fawning smile, showing no remorse whatsoever, even though he had just betrayed his brother to save his own life. He even seemed somewhat proud of it.
The others around didn't react to this scene, as if they were already used to it.
……
Lin Fei had already arrived at a distance and was silently watching the scene unfolding on the sand dunes, his brows furrowing slightly.
In this world, there are quite a few people who are afraid of death and betray their friends for personal gain. But there are probably not many like this young man who can betray so decisively and without any regard for consequences.
After all, everyone has a sense of shame, let alone a young man who is inexperienced in the ways of the world.
Judging from their appearance, it seemed that betraying their relatives was a shameless act, as commonplace as eating and drinking.
Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder if the world inside this stone tablet demon realm was different from the outside world, and even the people here had such distorted ideas.
In the blink of an eye, the corpse of the murdered boy on the sand dune had been divided and eaten by the crowd. Even the boy who had survived was given a rare share of the food, which he ate with relish. It seemed that to him, his own brother was no different from the pigs and dogs that could be seen everywhere on the street.
Seeing this, Lin Fei frowned even more deeply, and a rare hint of barely suppressed killing intent even appeared on his face.
