1197 Lingering Fears!
No one had expected that there would be more Celestial Devils. Even Lin Feng had not expected it.
Ortos was nothing. Even though Lin Feng was in his “weakened” state, and all his power was occupied by the Ageless World, he could not be shaken by a mere Celestial Devil with one layer of true form like Ortos.
However, the other two Celestial Devils were different. All of them had five layers of Celestial Devil’s true form. Any one of them was strong enough to defeat the five previous Celestial Devils including Rakshasa. Their strength was very terrifying.
Even compared to Lin Feng’s peak state, they were about equal. Moreover, his power was occupied now, and he was at his weakest. Once these two Celestial Devils attacked, it would be an earth-shattering force that was simply unparalleled.
Boom.
The two Celestial Devils were too terrifying. This was not the first time Lin Feng had fought with Celestial Devils, and he had also seen many Celestial Devil’s true forms. Celestial Devils and Controllers had two different cultivation systems. Although they both cultivated their selves, one focused on internal power, and the other on external power.
Controllers focused on the development of their own world, while Celestial Devils focused on their own body. They used external objects to constantly enhance their body, allowing their Celestial Devil’s true form to become stronger and stronger. Even if it reached a certain threshold of power, and could no longer grow stronger, they could take an alternate path and cultivate the second, third, and even countless layers of Celestial Devil’s true form.
This was the most terrifying aspect of the Celestial Devils.
Lin Feng had already encountered the Celestial Devil’s true form. It was indeed very terrifying. However, at this moment, this was the first time Lin Feng had encountered a five-layer Celestial Devil’s true form. That power blasted Lin Feng’s internal universe all at once. Immediately, Lin Feng’s internal universe shook continuously, like the legendary water god Gonggong crashing into Mount Buzhou in anger.
Although Mount Buzhou was very strong, it was also shattered by Gonggong. At this moment, Lin Feng’s internal universe felt like it was falling apart, and was on the verge of “collapse”.
“Chaotic Lotus!”
At the critical moment, the Chaotic Lotus manifested in Lin Feng’s internal universe. Thick roots “connected” the entire internal universe like dense spiderwebs.
Even if the cosmic membrane was torn apart, it was still firmly “pulled” by the roots of the Chaotic Lotus, allowing the internal universe to be preserved and not collapse immediately.
At this point, Lin Feng looked at the Ageless World in front of him. It might still take some time to devour. The Ageless World was also resisting, and the two Celestial Devils had even manifested their five-layer Celestial Devil’s true forms. They were about to completely destroy Lin Feng’s internal universe at one go. Lin Feng’s Chaotic Lotus could protect Lin Feng’s internal universe once, but it could not protect it for a second time.
At this point, Lin Feng knew that he had to make a tradeoff.
“Spacetime imprint!”
Without any hesitation, Lin Feng chose to activate the spacetime imprint immediately. However, this time was different from usual. His internal universe was devouring the Ageless World, and he had only devoured half of it.
Even Lin Feng could not be completely sure what would happen when he activated the spacetime imprint.
However, he had no choice at this moment. The Celestial Devils were ready to attack, and they had seized the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop. Lin Feng could not hesitate.
Buzz.
The power of the spacetime imprint was activated. Immediately, a strange power, different from any Controller or any Celestial Devils, enveloped Lin Feng’s body. It even enveloped the internal universe and half of the Ageless World that was “bitten down” by the internal universe.
Swoosh.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng’s figure disappeared. Even the Ageless World disappeared along with him without a trace, but the three Celestial Devils could not find any signs at all.
“That’s right, that’s right. It’s this power. Last time, Lin Feng escaped silently like this. There are no clues at all,” Ortos’ eyes widened as he said excitedly.
He had actually been observing closely. He was wary that what happened the last time would happen, but they still failed to stop Lin Feng from escaping.
“This Controller probably has a secret!”
The two personal guards of the Celestial Devils King wore solemn expressions. This time, the two of them had joined forces to attack, and they were taking advantage of the situation. Almost half of Lin Feng’s strength was occupied, and he could not resist with all his might.
Even so, the two of them still failed on the verge of success. This was not something that could be summarized by simple luck. Lin Feng must have some secrets, even earth-shattering secrets.
Otherwise, how could a Controller be born in the backward and remote Dark Domain, and even escape the pursuit of the Celestial Devils time and time again?
“Return and report the situation to His Majesty the Eleventh Celestial Devil King,” One of the Celestial Devil personal guards said quietly.
Ortos was a little unwilling. He was suddenly slightly stunned, then shouted, “He’s appeared. Lin Feng has appeared. I sensed his traces again. However, he seems to be a little far from here. Why don’t we chase after him? Perhaps we can still capture him alive…”
However, the expressions of the other two Celestial Devil personal guards darkened. They shook their heads and said coldly, “Are you trying to court death by pursuing him now? By the time we catch up, he’ll probably have already devoured the Ageless World. Once he devours the Ageless World, his internal universe will expand to an unimaginable extent. Even if the two of us have cultivated five-layer Celestial Devil’s true forms, we probably won’t be able to resist it.”
“That’s right. Remember, he’s a Controller, an entity as great as us Celestial Devils. If we can’t kill him this time, it’ll be even harder to kill him next time. He’s no longer someone we can deal with now. We’ll report clearly to His Majesty the Celestial Devil King when we return. The Celestial Devil King will make his own plans.”
With that, the two Celestial Devil personal guards ignored Ortos. With a flash, they disappeared into the Dark Domain through some unknown method.
Although Ortos was a little reluctant, he knew that what the two Celestial Devil personal guards had said made sense. The strength Lin Feng had displayed just now was actually already daunting, and was not inferior to any Celestial Devil who had cultivated a five-layer Celestial Devil’s true form.
If not for the fact that Lin Feng was devouring the Ageless World, and most of his power was occupied, the two Celestial Devil personal guards might not have been able to do anything to Lin Feng.
Moreover, the current Lin Feng still had the strange method of “disappearing”. Before they figured it out, or had absolute guarantee of success, continuing to hunt Lin Feng down would only be courting death.
Although the Celestial Devils were greedy and cunning, they were also very cautious, and would not do anything they were not confident in.
Hence, Ortos could only give up and return to the Celestial Devil World.
…
Buzz.
In front of the Spacetime Gate, a huge world suddenly appeared. At the same time, a staggering figure appeared, looking rather disheveled.
“Devour!”
This slightly staggering figure was Lin Feng. As soon as he saw the Spacetime Gate, almost without any hesitation, he continued to activate the power of his internal universe to devour the Ageless World.
Fortunately, the power of the spacetime imprint was very strong. It even brought the Ageless World back, so Lin Feng’s efforts were not in vain.
Swoosh.
Finally, Lin Feng devoured the Ageless World. He heaved a long sigh of relief.
“That was close. My internal universe almost collapsed.”
Lin Feng looked at the huge Spacetime Gate, which emitted a mysterious aura. Thinking of the previous situation, even Lin Feng had lingering fears.
