"You two first check this place, see if there are any treasures!"

After a brief pause, Lin Feng said this to the two and then walked with large strides to the bottom of the altar.

Seeing this, Nie Qian and Han Ying dispersed and searched other parts of the hall. Since Lin Feng was interested in that Demon Soul, they didn’t want to contend with him.

"What level expert’s Demon Soul is this?"

Standing below the altar, looking up at the Demon Soul in the crystal ball above, Lin Feng muttered to himself.

This Demon Soul exuded overwhelming demon power, its pressure was astonishing. Even with the crystal ball separating them, it could probably crush an ordinary Martial Emperor Realm Martial Artist, quite extraordinary.

Lin Feng’s heart involuntarily sped up a little. If he were to devour this powerful Demon Soul, would Devouring Stars advance directly to the Ninth Rank of the Heavenly Level?

Lin Feng was very excited, staring at the Demon Soul in the crystal ball, filled with anticipation.

Swoosh!

With a stretch of his hand, Lin Feng wanted to grab the crystal ball, but there was an inexplicable force from the altar binding the crystal ball.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t take the crystal ball down.

"What’s going on?" Lin Feng was puzzled. He carefully explored and discovered that there was an invisible force from the altar continuously entering the crystal ball.

"Brother Su, this Demon Soul is peculiar!"

At this moment, Nie Qian and Han Ying came to Lin Feng’s side, looking at the Demon Soul in the crystal ball, Nie Qian said with a heavy expression.

They had already checked the entire hall. Apart from the altar and the crystal ball, there was nothing else.

"What’s peculiar about it?" Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Like Battle Souls, Demon Souls can leave the body and survive for a long time. But without the nourishment of a body, they can’t live for too long, and clearly, this place has existed for a long time."

Nie Qian’s face was slightly solemn as he continued: "So, this Demon Soul must have been dead long ago. But why would a dead Demon Soul be preserved here? It’s really puzzling!"

"Could this Demon Soul still be alive?" Han Ying asked softly. After saying this, she couldn’t help but shiver.

"Impossible, this place has existed for at least ten thousand years, it can’t still be alive!" Nie Qian immediately shook his head, denying her assumption.

Hearing this, Lin Feng pondered. He, too, believed this was certainly a dead Demon Soul, otherwise, it would have long since seized a body and reincarnated. How could it still remain here?

However, if it was a dead Demon Soul, why would its pressure be so strong?

Carefully examining the Demon Soul in the crystal ball, this Demon Soul’s body was tall, almost identical to an armor-clad humanoid, covered in a hard shell, its face that of an elder with age, the only difference being that the Demon Soul’s body seemed somewhat illusory.

For a moment, Lin Feng didn’t know what to do.

After pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and decided to shatter the crystal ball and directly devour this Demon Soul.

A Demon Soul without consciousness, no matter how powerful, would just be his nourishment.

"Step aside, I’m going to break this crystal ball!" Lin Feng waved at Nie Qian and Han Ying, signaling them to retreat.

Nie Qian and Han Ying nodded and immediately retreated.

To avoid damaging the Demon Soul inside the crystal ball, Lin Feng was extremely cautious. The Demon Sword’s light in his hand was entirely contained, with its powerful force fully concentrated on the sword.

"Shatter!" With a light shout, Lin Feng leaped up, directly to the top of the crystal ball, his sword slashing down fiercely.

Whizz!

The powerful Demon Sword pierced through the space, wrapped in unmatched sharpness, heavily striking the crystal ball.

Bang!

A boom shook the four directions, and then, the large crystal ball exploded with a blast, the fragments flying everywhere.

Lin Feng immediately controlled his strength, quickly retracting the longsword, not injuring the Demon Soul inside in the slightest.

Then, he immediately activated Devouring Stars, beginning to devour this powerful Demon Soul.

Just at this moment, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred, the Demon Soul, which had its eyes tightly closed, abruptly opened them, demon light bursting from its eyes for a hundred feet.

In this instant, disturbing demon power erupted overwhelmingly, filling the entire hall, chillingly domineering.

"What?" Lin Feng’s eyes widened, heart shocked, this Demon Soul was still alive? How is this possible?

The Demon Soul with open eyes moved, instantly charging into Lin Feng’s body.

"Not good!" Lin Feng was suddenly greatly alarmed. The speed of the Demon Soul was too fast for him to evade. In the blink of an eye, he could only strive to push Devouring Stars to the extreme, hoping to devour the Demon Soul.

However, the Demon Soul was too close to Lin Feng, and with a swish, it entered his body.

In the next instant, Lin Feng was in utter shock, this Demon Soul intended to seize his body!

Without hesitation, Lin Feng immediately withdrew Devouring Stars into his body, his hair standing on end. Although his Star was the nemesis of other Stars or Battle Souls, this Demon Soul was too strong for him to be careless.

After charging into Lin Feng’s body, the Demon Soul began forcefully taking control of his body. A vast Demon Thought directly surged towards his sea of consciousness, attempting to obliterate his Divine Soul.

"Courting death!" Lin Feng instantly raged, while desperately activating Devouring Stars to devour the Demon Soul, and on the other hand, strenuously guarding his sea of consciousness.

His spiritual power surged like a tide from within his Divine Soul, transforming into an invisible sharp blade, tearing into the Demon Thought.

Bang, bang, bang!!

Within Lin Feng’s sea of consciousness, silent explosions continued to erupt as his spiritual thought and Demon Thought clashed unceasingly.

This Demon Thought was incredibly powerful, directly driving Lin Feng to retreat repeatedly, causing his spiritual thought to disintegrate continuously.
