Chapter 298 All Beings Suffer

"What formidable killing intent!" Lin Fei exclaimed inwardly as he held the Demon Heart in his hand.

He had once practiced the Blood Slaughter Sect's ultimate techniques, and the killing intent contained within this demonic heart was, in essence, no less powerful than the renowned Blood Slaughter Sect's ultimate techniques.

This is only because the master of the Demon Heart is only at the Acupoint Realm. If his cultivation were higher, even Lin Fei would probably not dare to easily come into contact with this killing intent.

However, Lin Fei couldn't explain what kind of power the energy contained in the demon's heart was. This power was extremely strange, capable of corroding the cultivator's own true energy. It was a strange energy he had never seen before.

"It's a pity the system has been upgraded, otherwise we should be able to analyze where this energy is coming from." Lin Fei sighed inwardly.

The system is still being upgraded, and with Lin Fei's limited knowledge, he naturally cannot figure out where the source of this demonic energy comes from.

……

The humanoid monsters around them watched in horror as their leader was easily defeated.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Run! I heard that these outsiders kill all demons they see!"

The humanoid monsters, who had originally regarded Lin Fei as their prey, scattered like birds and beasts, running away in all directions.

Only the demon boy remained, standing still with his legs trembling slightly, but he didn't move an inch, seemingly stunned by Lin Fei.

Lin Fei didn't pursue those who fled. With his cultivation level, killing them all here would be incredibly easy. However, he had only come to find someone to guide him. As for the natives within the stone tablet space, perhaps this was their way of life for millennia; Lin Fei neither cared nor wanted to.

He is not a bodhisattva or Buddha who saves all sentient beings; he doesn't have that much energy to save the world.

Lin Fei looked up and sized up the demon boy who was standing there in a daze: "They all ran away, why didn't you run away?"

The demon youth mustered his courage and suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Fei with a "plop": "My lord, your divine might is unparalleled, and your bravery is invincible. I am willing to follow you by your side, to serve you like an ox or a horse, and to do your utmost for you!"

His flattery was incredibly practiced, just like when he flattered the leader before. However, Lin Fei wasn't buying it; he frowned slightly, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

As the saying goes, flattery will get you everywhere, and Lin Fei wasn't particularly disgusted by sycophants. However, he had just witnessed this demon youth betray his brothers to save his own life. Therefore, his flattering words sounded incredibly ironic to Lin Fei.

"What's your name?" Lin Fei asked coldly.

"A name?" The demon youth stood up, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes, before replying, "In response to your question, sir, I have no name. In our demon realm, only demon generals are worthy of having names; lowly people like myself are not worthy of having names."

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is the only law of survival in the world. However, Lin Fei did not expect that the space within this Stone Tablet Demon Realm had already brought this law of survival to its extreme.

The weak are not even worthy of having a name. To the strong, they are merely lambs waiting to be slaughtered, no different from pigs, dogs, cattle, and sheep.

Lin Fei noticed that while the two were talking, the demon youth's gaze was fixed on the demon heart in his hand, almost drooling. Lin Fei was also curious about the demon heart's purpose for demons, and how its energy was converted and absorbed.

"What, you really want this?" Lin Fei held up the Demon Heart and showed it to the demon youth.

"Yes, no, no, no!" The demon youth uttered only one word before realizing he had let something slip, and hurriedly shook his head again: "This demon heart belongs to adults, and I dare not even dream of it."

It seems that this Demon Heart is indeed quite useful to the demon race, but it is of no use to Lin Fei. The energy contained in this Demon Heart is similar to the demonic energy in the Stone Tablet Demon Realm. Not only is it useless to Lin Fei, it will also corrode his own true energy.

Lin Fei simply tossed the item to the demon boy, saying, "This is a reward for you!"

The demon youth, holding the demon heart in his hands, knelt down before Lin Fei with a thud, repeatedly kowtowing and saying, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! I will never forget your kindness!"

He held the Demon Heart in his hands, his eyes filled with excitement, and with a swift movement, he swallowed the Demon Heart whole.

Lin Fei's attention was completely focused on the demon boy. He wanted to see how the energy in the demon's heart was transformed within the demon's body.

After the demon boy consumed the demon heart, his body rapidly became filled with energy. Lin Fei carefully observed the flow of energy within his body and discovered that after the demon heart entered the demon boy's body, it quickly transformed into a ball of black energy, which circulated throughout the demon boy's body and finally converged on the single horn on his head.

"So that single horn is where all the energy of these demons gathers." Seeing this, Lin Fei finally understood the source of the demons' energy.

The so-called "demon heart" is nothing more than the crystallization of demonic energy within the brain of a demon. It's similar to a cultivator's inner world or dantian. To truly unleash the power of demonic energy, they rely on the single black horn on their heads. And this, perhaps, is also the demon's fatal weakness.

Observing the flow of demonic energy around the demon youth, Lin Fei gained a general understanding of this unfamiliar demon race. This would prevent him from being caught off guard and helpless when encountering powerful demons in the future.

Just then, the demonic energy surrounding the demon youth suddenly surged violently. The demonic energy that had been gathering towards the single horn on his head suddenly scattered and rushed straight into the demon youth's mind.

The demon boy screamed and collapsed to the ground like a shrimp, his body curled up and began to convulse. His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out low growls like a wild beast as his body began to swell.

Lin Fei noticed that the demonic energy spreading into the demon boy's mind seemed to be eroding his sanity. If this continued, it would probably be long before the demon boy completely lost his mind and, under the influence of the demonic energy, turned into a beast-like being.

Lin Fei sighed softly—it seemed that even these demons couldn't fully control the demonic energy within this Stone Tablet Demon Realm. Since the Stone Tablet Demon Realm couldn't absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world, the natives here could only cultivate by absorbing the demonic energy of the Demon Realm.

Thinking about this, Lin Fei felt that these demons weren't so hateful after all; in fact, they were somewhat pitiful. At least the people outside had choices, but these demons didn't.
