Chapter 39: The Devil's Domain! First Update

  "There's actually a sacred artifact that guards the soul." The handsome face in this demonic cloud clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that killing you will be a bit difficult after all."

  Tang Lin's expression was heavy, and he looked at this demon head with a stern gaze.

  As long as he delays for time, after Jiugong leaves, he will definitely look for Yuè Jī or Yuánshuài to come and rescue him, and he is not in a hurry to attack.

  "This demon head seems to see through Tang Lin's thoughts, and lightly laughs: 'You seem to have underestimated the demon head, if you think that relying on a single soul-guarding sacred artifact can allow you to leave safely, then you're too naive.'"

  Whoosh!

  A jet-black long sword slowly emerged from the dark cloud, this magic sword was like black ink condensed, rolling with intense magical light.

  Tang Lin furrowed his brow, this demon sword's shape, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

  "Heavenly Devil Territory!"

  The demon's head let out a low growl, releasing countless inky black lights from the magic sword, instantly enveloping the entire sky and earth. In an instant, the originally dim sky was obscured by countless black lights, losing its color, and all light suddenly disappeared.

  The sky and earth were pitch black.

  Tang Lin struggled to open his eyes, but couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hand.

  He rotated the Dragon Array Divine Eye on his forehead, and the dazzling golden pupils looked around, only to vaguely capture a hint of the demon's shadow from the pitch-black space.

  "Give up." The demon head's gentle voice sounded like a soft ripple: "Even saints have their strengths and weaknesses, let alone you, a half-saint. Even if you were to condense your saintly body, you would still fall before me!"

  "This is my domain, everything! I'm in control!"

  Tang Lin's heart slowly sank down.

  He soon felt that the strength in his body was flowing away, as if the air was countless small mouths, sucking out his own strength.

  The true energy in his body was being consumed in large quantities, and Tang Lin had a feeling that all his spiritual power was being drained. His brain reeled with dizziness.

  Buzz~

  Tang Lin's soul was enveloped by the Zhēn Xié Zhōng. Suddenly, it emitted a dazzling light, with a bird seal inscription on its surface that suddenly activated. It tightly wrapped around Tang Lin's soul, making it impossible for any force to penetrate.

  "This demon head hummed lightly, 'Interesting. Doesn't seem like an ordinary sacred artifact.'"

  Tang Lin detected a hint of greed, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and in this pitch-black space, he felt an inexplicable sense of horror, which was the mental pressure imposed on him by the Demon Head.

  Tang Lin knew he couldn't delay, let out a low growl, and took out all the talismans from his storage ring. There were "Divine Power Talisman", "Divine Movement Talisman", "Divine Eye Talisman", "Transmission Talisman" and so on.

  However, when all the symbols were activated, there was no effect at all. Tang Lin's heart was icy cold in this strange domain, and he was completely sealed off.

  "Stop struggling, die! I will condense your corpse into a demonic general that sits under me, and ride the battlefield to conquer the Empire of Cangxue!" The demon's voice echoed in Tang Lin's ears. Immediately afterwards, Tang Lin felt the air around his body suddenly tighten, as if countless invisible palms were pinching his neck and chest.

  Tang Lin felt a suffocating sensation.

  Although he couldn't see his own face, Tang Lin could imagine that his face was now flushed with a deep purple color.

  "No, no——"

  Tang Lin's heart was filled with terror as he desperately cried out, and in this moment, his strong desire to survive burst forth. His body seemed to be imbued with a divine power, struggling with all his might, but this struggle was still too weak, and under the suppression of this domain, Tang Lin was completely unable to move.

  Ah!

  Tang Lin clearly heard the sound of his own finger bones shattering, and his entire palm lost all sensation, as if it had been crushed by a massive force.

  Ah!

  His calf snapped off next.

  Then the soles of the feet, the thighs, and his own arms all burst open one after another. His neck seemed to be twisted off by this great force.

  Tang Lin's consciousness was all blurry.

  At this moment, countless blurry yet sharp faces flashed through his mind, the clearest of which were his father, mother, older brother, second sister, and Ninth Princess...

  If I die, will you still remember me?

  A thought flashed through Tang Lin's mind, and then he sank down like a drowning man, his consciousness gradually fading away.

  At the moment of his final collapse, Tang Lin's ears still echoed with the sound of his own bones shattering, and he suddenly heard the demon head's voice filled with a few parts of terror, wailing: "God, no—"

  Completely unconscious.

  ……

  In the endless darkness.

  He walked alone, there was no sound here, no light, and an inexplicable fear came like a tidal wave.

  His footsteps grew more and more urgent, faster and faster.

  Darkness seems endless.

  Keep walking, keep walking.

  Suddenly, in front of him a white light condensed into a large gate as if waiting for thousands of years, he excitedly rushed out, the white light gate instantly enveloped his body.

  ……

  As soon as he opened his eyes, a faint light entered his vision, and Tang Lin hadn't even seen the situation in front of him when a severe pain surged up, as if his bones were shattered, and a wave of dizzying heat swept over him, like a fever.

  At the same time, Tang Lin felt that his lower body was icy and piercing to the bone, as if his body had been soaked in a sheet of cold water.

  After a long time, Tang Lin finally forced himself to open his eyes, only to see that he was lying in a pitch-black cave, with sharp and jagged rocks above him, filled with a cold and eerie atmosphere, while beneath him was a pool of icy water.

  Furthermore, the air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses, making one feel nauseous.

  "Where is this?"

  Tang Lin clearly remembered that he should have been surrounded by the demon's domain and crushed his body, how could he appear in this place.

  Moreover, before he himself fell unconscious, he seemed to have heard the demon's terrified voice, but it was unclear whether it was just an illusion.

  Tang Lin tried to release his spiritual power, but found that his spirit was exhausted, and the little spiritual power he had left was not enough to be released.

  But his own soul was even more unable to escape, and with his physical condition, if he lacked the nourishment of his soul, he feared that he would soon stop living and become a corpse.

  Tang Lin could only calm down and slowly mobilize the remaining true energy in his body to repair his own body.

  Through the exploration of his true energy, Tang Lin clearly knew that his body was in a state of severe injury. His fingers' bones were shattered and deformed, his thigh bone was deformed, and multiple parts of his skeleton were fractured all over his body. Only his brain was intact. His neck was also injured, and six or seven ribs on his chest had been broken, nearly piercing his heart.

  In such a situation, if it weren't for Tang Lin's robust vitality, he would have probably lost his life long ago.

  Tang Lin gritted his teeth, manipulating the thin thread of true energy. Starting from the skeletal structure on his feet, he began to repair it, although these bones were fractured, but with Tang Lin's healing power, there was still a possibility of recovery. If he condensed into a sacred body, then his physical body would transcend that of ordinary humans. Even if his body was destroyed, as long as his soul remained intact, he could find a thread of flesh and blood to revive himself.

  The repair speed was very slow. Tang Lin didn't rush, he just hoped that no monsters would appear in this unknown cave, otherwise he would be a dish on the plate now.

  Time flies.

  After an unknown period of time, Tang Lin felt that the skeleton of his calf had been slightly repaired, and the sole of his foot had completely healed, allowing him to walk. However, both his thighs and calves were still fractured and could only be used after they were fully recovered.

  Before long, Tang Lin suddenly had a fever. He felt hot all over his body, dizzy and confused, the cold water below stimulated his body, alternating between hot and cold, feeling very uncomfortable.

  Tang Lin's consciousness faded away, his lips parched and cracked.

  He would occasionally regain consciousness and continue to struggle to repair his skeleton before falling unconscious again.

  With Tang Lin's robust physique, he was not prone to fever, but now his body was severely injured, lost too much blood, and the icy cold water temperature exceeded normal levels, causing him to contract a chill.

  It wasn't long before Tang Lin felt his fever gradually subsiding, and on this day, his calf was slowly recovering. He wanted to move his body and leave the patch of ice water, otherwise, if he continued to soak in it, even if he didn't have a fever anymore, his skin would peel off and rot.

  Tang Lin exerted himself and crawled forward with his back muscles, wriggling his body like a boneless worm, inching towards the shallow water.

  Every time he moved, his whole body transmitted a wave of intense burning pain. Tang Lin gritted his teeth and spent a long time moving to the wet sandy ground by the water's edge. Suddenly, his cheek touched something sticky, which emitted a strong putrid smell.

  Tang Lin was startled in his heart, and he concentrated his spirit, gazing intently into the distance.

  At this sight, his scalp was numb and he felt a sense of being frightened out of his wits.

  Next to him lay several rotting corpses, their flesh already decayed and blurred beyond recognition, with maggots crawling on them, extremely disgusting and terrifying.

  Tang Lin's face turned ugly, and he immediately rolled over and returned to the water's edge. Although his body might rot in the water, it was better than being crawled on by these corpse insects and having them burrow into his body...

  He didn't dare think about it anymore.

  This terrifying pitch-black cave was full of eerie atmosphere. Tang Lin only hoped that his body could recover as soon as possible, and then find the exit.

  Day after day.

  Tang Lin lay in the cold water, surrounded by piles of rotting corpses. He had gradually become accustomed to the foul odor of the rotting bodies and no longer found it pungent.

  When he got used to this rotten smell, Tang Lin would think, am I also rotting?

  His body is indeed rotting.

  In the cold water soak, has begun to peel off, swollen, and then rot, the entire back skin, have all fallen off, revealing blurry flesh and blood, emitting a foul odor.

  When a person gets used to stench, is it because he himself is also emitting stench?

  After a long recovery, Tang Lin felt that his calf and thigh had healed, but his back and arm, which had not been repaired for a long time, were now very difficult to repair and required an even longer period of time.

  Moreover, his chest was severely injured, and Tang Lin did not dare to move recklessly, otherwise the broken ribs would inadvertently pierce his heart, which would be equivalent to suicide.

  Tang Lin could only continue lying in the cold water, slowly healing his arm and chest.

  On this day, Tang Lin was in a daze when he suddenly heard the sound of "ka ka" coming from above his head, like the sound of bones being crushed.

  Tang Lin was shocked and suddenly opened his eyes.
