Chapter 300: Nowhere to Escape

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Clearly, the demon had long planned to arrive at the Wicked Sorcery Mountain by going through the Qin Family territory. This had been its intention all along.

The demon must have some knowledge of the Wicked Sorcery Mountain where it could get rid of the pursuing warriors, then it could focus on taking over Lu Li’s body to regenerate.

It did make it into the Wicked Sorcery Mountain successfully and there was nobody chasing them anymore. The demon now could infiltrate Lu Li’s soul wholeheartedly without any worries.

Numerous green energy pierced into Lu Li’s soul in the form of needles. This time, the demon aimed at shattering Lu Li’s soul completely which would enable it to occupy Lu Li’s Soul Pond entirely, guaranteeing its regeneration.

Lu Li had strong willpower. The demon had been trying to let Lu Li’s soul sleep but failed because of outside interferences and Lu Li’s struggle.

This time, the demon was using its cruelest means. It wanted Lu Li to suffer from endless pain so that he would give up and he would be half dead with his soul shattered.

“Ah—”

Soon, Lu Li roared a painful roar. He had lost control of his body from his soul, but he was screaming out of instinct. One could imagine how much pain he was going through.

He rolled out of instinct. He rolled off from the coffin and onto the ground, however, since he was still tied off by the cold-iron chains, he could only roll around nearby the coffin. His facial expressions were twisted, his muscles were trembling, and he looked like a dying beast.

“Squeak, squeak~”

Little White, entangled by the black vines on the coffin, couldn’t help but yell. It tried to bite off the black vines, but nevertheless, because of the green glare on the black vines, it could not succeed.

Hundreds of millions of needles of green energy pierced into Lu Li’s Soul Pond. The pain was increasingly hard to endure—it was as if he was being burned by fire of increasing intensity, or being cut into pieces. Lu Li could not pass out as the pain was in his soul. He could only put up with the heart-breaking pain with efforts.

When one suffered too much, one would lose his mind. What if the stimuli was dozens or hundreds or thousands times stronger?

It would be consequential. The person’s soul would gradually collapse because of the insufferable pain, and the soul would eventually disappear. For example, when a person stabbed at an object for a couple of times, there would be some holes. But if the person were to crush the object with a mountain, the object would split into pieces and be ground into powder…

It was Lu Li who was experiencing such a thing at the moment. He felt like he was about to lose his mind and that his soul would soon explode. His consciousness was wading, and his soul was going to collapse.

“No, no, no—”

Lu Li roared in anger. He was strongly reluctant to give in. He had to save his parents, he had to get Lu Ling back, he was young, and this should not be how everything would end. He wouldn’t want his body be possessed by the old demon. This was more horrible than death itself.

Inside his soul that was about to go down, his will to cling on surged, which empowered him suddenly. His Soul Pond glaring in green was now surrounded by white light. The green energy was all but expelled.

“Huh?”

A sound of surprise rang in Lu Li’s mind. The old demon was shocked. Lu Li had such a freakish willpower!

“Buzzing~”

Soon, the demon controlled the green energy needles to attack again. It wouldn’t believe this. Lu Li was only a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm, so how could such a weak soul survive the vicious attacks? If one time wouldn’t work, then 10 times, or 100 times or thousands of times. Lu Li’s soul was going to collapse sooner or later.

Again and again!

The demon attacked again and again and Lu Li kept fighting back. The dominance was in the hands of the demon for one moment and then in Lu Li’s hands for the next.

Lu Li rolled on the ground, and he would bump into the coffin every now and then. Blood was spilling out. The cold-iron chains rattled and Little White kept screaming…

Lu Li had a truly strong mind which had much to do with the environment he grew up in.

Lu Ling and he mutually depended on each other for their survival. They were lonely and helpless, and they were often bullied. Since a young age, he had become a tough kid. Then he spent those seven years in the waterfall to refine his body, regardless of how the weather was like. He nevereven rested when he was under the weather.

Lu Ling once said that even at the most hopeless hours, there was no giving up and no suicide even if the chances of being killed was great. He had been quite attentive to Lu Ling’s words and engraved those words in his heart.

Should he not be so tough in character or not have received so much knowledge on how to act, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on for such a long time.

Ten times, 100 times, 200 times!

Two whole days had passed. Lu Li had stopped rolling around. Instead, he crawled on the ground like a worm. His muscles were twisting, and he was still fight for the control of his Soul Pond with the demon.

220 times… 260 times…

Instead of getting weaker, Lu Li’s soul was getting more powerful. The demon had experienced shock, astonishment and now it was growing numb.

Lu Li was such a weirdo!

Not only was his mind tough, there were also many things miraculous in his body. For example, the silver dragon pattern on his back, his Burning Blood Skill, and Dragon Roar Skill, all of those were of fascination to the demon.

Young as Lu Li was, he had a very good bodily foundation even though he was not at a high realm. The more Lu Li was fighting back, the more anxious the demon was to get his body.

After another day and night, the demon slowly felt like giving up. It realized that this was not working. He could not collapse Lu Li’s soul, nor could he completely take over Lu Li’s Soul Pond or body.

“Alright, punk. You made me do this.” The old demon had chosen the unwise plan. It was going to devour Lu Li’s soul.

If Lu Li’s soul collapsed, then his body would just be a blank canvas with no trace of Lu Li. This would be the best way to complete the possession.

If Lu Li’s soul was devoured, however, then there would be a remaining trace of Lu Li left even though his soul would be destroyed all the same. This kind of possession with his spiritual imprints left behind was not the perfect kind. Lu Li’s remaining soul would be interfering more or less in the future which would impair the development of the demon greatly.

“Buzzing!”

Above the Soul Pond of Lu LI, the green energy formed an ugly ghost face. Then the face rushed into Lu Li’s soul pond, ready to devour his soul.

However—

When the face entered Lu Li’s Soul Pond, something happened. The silver dragon mark in Lu Li’s Soul Pond glared. Then the silver dragon moved about and started circling outside the entire Soul Pond.

The green energy outside the Soul Pond was absorbed by the silver dragon after it started moving about and the Soul Pond glared in silver light…

“What, how, what is this?”

A roar rang in Lu Li’s mind. The demon did notice the silver dragon mark in Lu Li’s Soul Pond, however, for all these time, nothing came out from it, not even when Lu Li’s soul was on the verge of collapsing. How come it moved the minute the demon entered Lu Li’s Soul Pond?

That was not the worst thing, the moving!

The worst thing was that a surge of overwhelming qi and energy from the silver dragon started to devour the demon’s energy and soul.

The demon suddenly understood. The silver dragon must have been waiting for it to enter Lu Li’s Soul Pond, then the silver dragon could suppress the demon and leave it no way to escape.
