Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“You are actually able to discover my true form. However, everything is useless. I’m going to eat you today. It has been a very long time since I feasted on a human’s flesh and blood. I’m really so hungry, too hungry...” That giant head let out weird cries. A black wind then manifested, wanting to tear Feng Lin into pieces to make it easier for it to swallow him.

This earthbound spirit was a demon whose movements were restricted; it could only move within a certain boundary. Hence, they would usually transform into old grannies, beautiful young ladies, widows...all sorts of forms in order to wait for their prey to enter willingly. Once their prey entered their boundary, they could simply swallow them up.

However, Feng Lin was astute enough to notice the truth. If he was fooled and was swallowed by the demon, the consequences would be unimaginably dire.

BOOM!

The demonic qi gusted wildly, and the stones and gravel on the ground started flying around. The giant head of the earthbound spirit rushed over in a frenzy, wrenching its mouth open and wanting to bite Feng Lin into pieces.

Feng Lin leaped up into the air. The earthbound spirit exhaled, generating a gust of black wind that sent stones shooting toward him.

Feng Lin unleashed a flurry of blows, rebounding those stones back to the earthbound spirit and causing it to scream in pain. It suddenly widened its mouth and drew in a deep breath, wanting to draw everything in.

A fearsome absorption force could suddenly be felt in the air.

Feng Lin’s body fell from the air rapidly, being drawn in by the earthbound spirit. If he entered the demon’s stomach, he most probably wouldn’t have his bones left. Everything would be devoured.

These demons had all sorts of bizarre and strange abilities. Thus, they could be extremely difficult to deal with.

Feng Lin used his spirit force and activated the Cloudsoar ability, resisting that absorption force as he peered downward.

Staring at the earthbound spirit’s body that was covered in a layer of black fog, his heart stirred. Earthbound spirits were a type of soul that remained bound to the earth due to their feelings of resentment and vengeance. By nature, they were a kind of demon with a spirit body.

Since this was the case, wouldn’t spirit attacks work against them?

Feng Lin unleashed his spirit force, converging it together and forming a sword of golden light. After that, he ferociously pierced the sword into the earthbound spirit’s forehead.

The moment his spirit sword pierced into his target, his mind felt as though it had fallen into a consciousness filled with sinister gloominess. There were countless chaotic thoughts here. Feng Lin didn’t hesitate, he controlled the sword intent of the golden sword and destroyed all of these evil chaotic thoughts within the consciousness.

The earthbound spirit cried in misery as its body began to dissipate, transforming into black smoke before vanishing into thin air. It only left behind a black-colored round-shaped object.

Feng Lin sent out a strand of his psychokinesis energy and moved the black pearl through the air into his hands. It felt cool to the touch.

Up until now, he had already obtained a total of three demon cores. These should be considered the equivalent to transcendent organs that were the essence of the demon’s cultivation. They were all extremely valuable.

Next, as Feng Lin continued walking through this land, there would frequently be demons and monsters appearing to attack him. There were all sorts of demons here: cats with two tails known as Nekomata, birds with human heads known as Ubume, and long-necked demons known as Hitouban...

He showed no mercy, destroying all of the supernatural creatures when he encountered them.

These supernatural creatures were either demons, devils, ghosts, or monsters. For the illusory beings like ghosts and devils, he would be fine as long as his spirit force was strong enough. He was able to destroy them easily since they had a spirit-based body. The earthbound spirit from before was a very good example of this.

Demons and monsters were tougher to deal with in comparison, as they possessed a physical body. Feng Lin had to exhaust a great deal of effort to destroy them.

There were many obstacles as he journeyed on. The demons and monsters here seemed endless in number and would lunge over the moment they sensed fresh blood and meat. However, all of them died miserable deaths under Feng Lin.

The different demons and monsters from the japanese mythology appeared one after another. This was truly a world of demons; there didn’t seem to be any native humans here.

Feng Lin had a look of contemplation on his face.

In japanese Mythology, ghosts, demons, monsters, and devils, were no different from immortals, gods, saints, and buddhas. The only difference was that they were worshiped and enshrined, and the others weren’t.

No matter how terrifying a monster was or how many humans it had eaten, as long as there were people who worshiped and enshrined it, it would be a deity. This was also the reason why a small country like Japan had over 800 million gods.

In actuality, according to the strict grading system of Huaxia Mythology, many of those japanese gods were simply over-exaggerated legends. They were not legitimate at all. There were simply too many evil divine beings that mortals couldn’t believe in, and they also weren’t able to maintain the order of the three realms.

All of this resulted in the grading of japanese gods becoming very low, and their authority was also very small.

Although the demons and monsters of japanese mythology were bizarre, their strength wasn’t that powerful. Compared to the demons and monsters of Huaxia Mythology who could destroy the world at a whim, their strength was simply of a different class. Only the Yamata no Orochi, Shuten-Doji, Daitengu, and the Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-tailed Fox) could be categorized as supreme demons.

Also, given that this pocket world was a fantasy land, the strength of the demons and monsters here would surely be reduced in comparison to the real demons and monsters.

As Feng Lin traveled, he showed no mercy, obliterating all demons and devils he came across.

After the devils and demons died, they would vanish and leave behind demon cores of different colors, which contained various types of wondrous energy within.

Without realizing it, the sky turned dark as heavy rain started to fall. Feng Lin found a dilapidated-looking temple. And after seeing that nothing was out of the ordinary here, he decided to stay there for the night.

After lighting a bonfire, he took out the demon cores he had acquired and started to survey them.

These demon cores greatly resembled the snake gall treasure pearls he had obtained from the Yamata no Orochi, but they were much smaller in size. Their energy level also wasn’t high. However, these demon cores served the same purpose as transcendent organs; they were the essence of life energy of the demons and monsters.

Seeing that the energy level in the demon cores was not too high, Feng Lin also couldn’t be bothered to concoct genetic potions with them.

Given his current vitality stats, even if he were to swallow a golden pellet now, he would still be able to digest the energy within.

Hence, to him, these small demon cores could simply be treated as snacks.

Feng Lin decisively took one up and swallowed it. The demon core instantly transformed into waves of warmth. He then activated the ‘transforming energy into qi’ technique and rapidly converted the energy contained in the demon core into genetic potential, storing it in his body.

Genetic potential +28%, +28%, +28%...

In total, he gained 336% worth of genetic potential from a single demon core.

Feng Lin was like a kid that ate a delicious candy. He licked his lips in satisfaction, and his hunger was not sated yet.

The quality of this demon core wasn’t in any way inferior to a perfect-grade genetic potion.

The demon cores contained the essence of the demons, and the effects were excellent.

However, Feng Lin felt that something was wrong. Why would the Japanese go through so much trouble, diving into the depths of the Mariana Trench just to obtain these demon cores?

Things didn’t feel right.

It would be great if he could capture one of them who came in here and get some answers from him!

Sadly, the space in this fantasy land of demons was simply too vast. Those who had entered seemed to have been teleported randomly through the pocket world. Feng Lin also had no idea where those Japanese were at.

But luckily, there were still over twenty days worth of time before the second round of examinations at Cosmos University. He wasn’t in a hurry at all. He had enough time to slowly play with these Japanese.

Feng Lin then sat down to adjust his breathing, using meditation to replace sleep as he also continued to cultivate.

The rain was extremely heavy, and it didn’t stop even when it was late in the night.

Pitter patter!

The sounds of someone rapidly making his way on the wet ground rang out. It was possible that this person had seen the light of the bonfire and was hurrying over.

“Is it Fuuma-kun or Yamashita-kun? Or is it the goddess? I’m Yamamoto Ishiro...” A loud voice drifted from afar, filled with the joy of having just survived a tribulation.

Feng Lin’s eyes opened wide, and he saw someone in black attire barging his way to the temple, resembling an ancient ninja. When that person saw Feng Lin, the smile on his face drastically changed as he howled in rage.

“Baka! Who are you exactly? How did you enter the Kusanagi secret realm?...”

Even before he finished speaking, Feng Lin already moved. His entire person transformed into after-images as he lunged over. Feng Lin’s hands took on the form of claws as he grabbed toward this man’s head, wanting to subdue him in a single move.
