After three months, Linfeng was once again possessed by the Nightmare. The rustling in his ears was clearer and more bewitching than the last time, as if it was whispering about something.
Linfeng couldn't understand the Nightmare's words, but he could sense its emotions.
That kind of endless resentment, that kind of evil killing intent, seemed to want to destroy everything.
The desire to control the body was the strongest.
Linfeng lowered his head. In his line of sight, his hands seemed to be dyed red with blood. The palm lines on his palms were as clear as a microscope.
In the air, visible spiritual energy was gathering and automatically absorbed into Linfeng's body. However, because it was in a sealed room, the spiritual energy was limited, so it didn't cause any abnormalities.
Moreover, Yue Mingming also closed his eyes, so there was no need to worry about him seeing anything.
Since he dared to be possessed by the Nightmare in front of Yue Mingming, Linfeng wasn't worried about exposing the existence of the Nightmare.
After two years of getting along, Linfeng believed in Yue Mingming's character.
Compared to the Nightmare, the mysterious spatial beast in Yue Mingming's body was more shocking and terrifying.
The innate ability of the Nightmare was indeed incredible. It could attract people to spy on it, but it had terrible consequences.
No matter how strong it was, it was only a Martial Emperor.
And a short-lived Martial Emperor.
Not many people were willing to give up their lives for power.
There were dozens of Martial Emperors in Huaxia, but they were easily killed in front of an invincible expert.
A Martial Emperor expert would not make much of a difference to the world's situation.
However, Yue Mingming could communicate and connect to foreign worlds.
This ability was taboo!
Because it had the power to change the world.
If Yue Mingming was discovered, there were only two consequences.
He would either be killed or imprisoned as a lab rat and lose his freedom.
Therefore, Linfeng wasn't worried that Yue Mingming would betray him.
The one who should be worried was Yue Mingming.
Moreover, was the power of the Nightmare so easy to absorb?
Linfeng had done some experiments with some beasts.
He found that when the Nightmare possessed his body, he would be assimilated by the power of the Nightmare. The beasts that came into contact with the Nightmare and absorbed its energy would also be assimilated.
This kind of assimilation allowed him to vaguely sense the approximate location of the demonic beast, even if they were a few kilometers apart.
Linfeng guessed that as the assimilation process intensified, he would be able to sense the other party even if they were 10,000 miles apart. He might even be able to control the other party's life and death.
After all, assimilation could cost one's life!
If there really came a day when Yue Mingming betrayed him, Linfeng also had the confidence to find him and take his life.
The ability to connect to a foreign world was too shocking and uncontrollable. Since he was the one who made Yue Mingming stronger and had the ability to change the world, Linfeng would firmly control this power in his hands.
"Do you desire this body so much?"
As the ravings became more and more intense, Linfeng's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Bending his fingers and clenching them slightly, he could clearly feel the strength in his body.
This was an extremely powerful control ability.
Although it couldn't bestow him with greater strength and agility, it could allow him to unleash 100% of his potential.
At the same time, Linfeng could also clearly feel that there was an evil and cold power corroding his body step by step, assimilating his body.
This feeling made him shudder.
This was also the reason why he didn't dare to casually use the Nightmare Demon's possession after refining it.
In the past two years, apart from cultivating the foreign race's cultivation methods, absorbing soul skills, and encountering some life and death dangers, Linfeng had never used the Nightmare Demon's power.
In the past two years, the number of times he used the Nightmare Demon's possession was no more than 20.
This was also the reason why Linfeng was still at the peak of the fifth rank.
If he didn't care about the aftereffects and used the Nightmare Demon's power without any scruples, his martial strength might reach the seventh rank of the Flying Sky Realm, or even the eighth rank of the Martial Dao Grandmaster realm.
Linfeng didn't want to use the Nightmare Demon's power to quickly increase his strength.
As long as the aftereffects of the Nightmare Demon were not removed, he didn't dare to use the Nightmare Demon's power easily.
Linfeng always kept Ye Qiu's example in mind.
Moreover, if his strength increased too quickly, it would also attract unnecessary attention.
Most importantly, he would also miss out on some precious opportunities.
For example, the extradimensional space door.
If his strength was too strong, it would instead cause the extradimensional space door to suppress him.
In Linfeng's plan, he needed to obtain three keys before he broke through to the Martial King realm.
With the support of these three keys, he could refine a large amount of life essence and resolve most of the aftereffects of the Nightmare Demon. Only then could he truly use the Nightmare Demon's power.
In his previous life, Ye Qiu's strength increased too quickly. After refining the Nightmare Demon for only a year, he crossed five realms and entered the fifth rank.
At the age of 20, he entered the seventh rank of the Flying Sky Realm.
When he graduated from university at the age of 22, he entered the ninth rank of the Soaring Cloud Realm.
At the age of 25, he opened his grotto-heaven and became a Martial King, entering the ranks of the top powerhouses.
Then, in just three short years, he became a Martial Emperor at the age of 28, shocking the world. However, in less than half a year, he died.
His strength increased too quickly. Not only did it overdraft his life force, but it also caused him to miss out on many opportunities to obtain the keys to the extradimensional space door.
"Feng …"
Just as Linfeng's thoughts were drifting, Yue Mingming's voice sounded out. "Can I open my eyes?"
At this moment, Yue Mingming's eyes were tightly shut. Although he was very curious, he did not dare open them.
Linfeng quickly withdrew from his demon transformation state and said, "Yes."
When Yue Mingming opened his eyes, Linfeng appeared in front of him. His body had not changed at all, but the evil and bloody aura in the air had not completely dissipated and could still be clearly felt.
"Did you succeed in absorbing the soul skill?" Linfeng asked.
Yue Mingming's face was full of joy. "I succeeded. Originally, my soul force was not enough to control the Void Bird, but that aura caused it to tremble and greatly weaken its resistance. In the end, I succeeded in devouring it and absorbing the soul skill.
The Void Bird is a beast from the Shenwu Continent. Even if it has not been possessed by a demon spirit, I can still faintly sense the location of the continent. "
"Mm, the current you can finally be considered a summoner!" Linfeng sighed in relief.
The power of the Nightmare King could not increase the success rate by a hundred percent. Even if he had absorbed the purple-gold soul skill, there was still a chance of failure.
Yue Mingming's successful absorption showed that his innate soul power was indeed outstanding, and he might even be comparable to Ye Qiu's.
"Feng, what was that aura just now?"
Yue Mingming asked curiously.
"That was my bloodline ability. When I use it, my body will undergo a terrifying mutation. I did not want anyone to see it, so I told you to close your eyes," Linfeng explained.
A terrifying mutation!
Yue Mingming suddenly understood.
Bloodline ability?
Wasn't Linfeng an illegitimate son of the Yang clan?
Wasn't the Yang clan's bloodline ability a fire bloodline?
Did they have extremely strong control over fire?
Could it be a bloodline mutation?
What kind of bloodline ability could release such an evil aura?
Furthermore, this innate ability was too powerful!
That aura seemed to have a life of its own. It was evil, cold and bloodthirsty. It had a suppressive effect on demon spirits, similar to the suppression of rank.
Under that kind of aura, demon spirits would not have much resistance due to fear.
This bloodline ability could increase the success rate of absorbing soul skills. If Linfeng could assist him when absorbing soul skills in the future, it would simply be cheating.
For all Demon Spiritualists, this is an ability that they yearn for even in their dreams.
With this ability, any soul skill could be tried without worrying about the risk of failure. In other words, Demon Spiritualists could combine any soul skills they want.
All purple-gold soul skills!
When the demon spirit matures, even a diamond soul skill wouldn't be impossible!
Yue Mingming finally understood why Linfeng's first soul skill was able to absorb purple-gold soul skills. After that, the other three soul skills were all purple-gold soul skills, and even had a 50% success rate.
Linfeng knew what Yue Mingming was thinking and immediately broke his fantasy, "This bloodline ability, if released, will severely overdraft my life force. Therefore, only I can use it. Even for Yunkai and Dong Yunan, I have never helped them."
Yue Mingming's body trembled. An indescribable feeling made his body stiffen. His eyes were filled with shock, "Overdraft my life force?"
That's right!
If it could be released at will, then this innate ability would be too heaven-defying. Then, how could Dong Xiaomei absorb a silver soul skill?
If there weren't any repercussions, Linfeng wouldn't have to hide it. To become the richest man in the world, any Demon Spiritualist would need Linfeng's help.
His thoughts were too perfect.
Life force!
Overdraft my life force!
The words life force kept echoing in Yue Mingming's mind.
Overdraft for a year?
Three years? Five years?
Now, with the recovery of spiritual energy, living to a hundred years old is no longer something to be congratulated. Because it's normal for an ordinary person to live to a hundred years old. There are even some who can live to a hundred and thirty-four years old.
As for cultivators, King rank experts can double their lifespan, easily living to two hundred years old. But even so, no one dares to use up their life force.
It's not just a matter of lifespan, it will also affect the foundation of cultivation.
Although Linfeng didn't explain how much life force would be overdrafted, it shouldn't be little.
Otherwise, with Linfeng's relationship with Yunkai and Dong Yunan, he wouldn't be unable to enjoy such treatment.
"Feng, I …"
Yue Mingming's eyes were brimming with tears. His voice was a little choked. He never thought that Linfeng would be willing to overdraft his life force for him.
Yue Mingming wanted to say that he was touched, but he was interrupted by Linfeng, "I already said, don't add drama for yourself.
Your Natal Demon Spirit is very mysterious. It's connected to a foreign world. I've never heard of such a demon spirit or such an innate ability.
There's also no record of it on the Rare Beast List. Although it's still very weak and can't even summon the weakest foreign creature, you're still very weak.
Yunkai and I can easily defeat you, but it's undeniable that you have the potential to change the world. This is an ability that Yunkai and I don't have. This is the reason why I'm willing to overdraft my life force. It's not just because you're a member of the team. So, you don't have to be too touched. "
As Linfeng spoke, his dark eyes revealed a trace of complicated emotions. He seemed to be reminiscing and sighing, "This world is very dangerous. The frequency of the spatial gates opening is increasing. So, seize the time to become stronger. Perhaps you can become the Child of Destiny that can change the world!"
When Linfeng disappeared, Yue Mingming still couldn't react.
Child of Destiny?
These four words left him somewhat at a loss.
He's the Child of Destiny?
