It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

This tiger demon might also have another name: Mountain Lord!

When the surrounding clouds cleared, you realized that you two had always been inside each other's bodies.

No wonder you can't find any trace of them no matter how hard you search.

Without hesitation, you stepped in front of them.

Taking advantage of the chaos, He Xingyao swiftly fled the battlefield.

To your surprise, your lightning spell seemed to have no effect on the opponent.

Even disregarding its ability to counter demons, the Five Thunder Technique is still a top-tier thunder technique; in battles between cultivators, very few can withstand its lightning strikes.

[But the skin of the mountain king was a patch of grayish-black.]

The Yang Thunder of the Five Thunder Technique, when it struck the Mountain Lord, was like a tickle, leaving only white marks and having no effect whatsoever.

Even if you bring a trace of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, you can only inflict minor injuries on the opponent.

You've tried everything, but you haven't gained any advantage.

You have deeply felt the gap between yourself and the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Fortunately, He Xingyao has already run far away. Your only concern now is how to save your life.

Using your swordsmanship as a primary means of attack, and other techniques as supplementary methods, you easily evaded the mountain lord's pursuit.

Before they could even catch their breath, the mountain lord's oppressive aura swept over them once more.

After repeating this process several times, you noticed the problem.

The other person seems to see you as prey and is merely toying with you.

When the mountain king grows weary of you, that will be the time of your death.

[You silently assessed your situation and realized that breaking free from the mountain lord's control was probably impossible.]

You only have one choice to make.

[Live life to the fullest!]

Having understood all this, you didn't hesitate for a moment, and charged directly at the mountain lord with your sword.

Only by tearing a crack in the eruption can you have a chance to completely escape the mountain king's cage.

[Under the immense pressure of life and death, the power you unleashed far surpassed that of an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator.]

[With the added advantage of lightning magic, you are currently no less powerful than a normal late-stage Golden Core cultivator in terms of strength against demons.]

[The mountain spirit seems to have been caught off guard by the immense power you unleash.]

Caught off guard, the opponent was severely wounded by your sword.

In an instant, it felt as if a veil had been lifted from everything around you.

Your perception has become much sharper!

[You astutely detected the mountain tiger's blind spot and broke through at top speed.]

Throughout the journey, you used invisibility talismans to conceal your presence.

[Leave no hidden dangers for yourself.]

You ran a long way before gradually coming to a stop.

Just when you thought you were safe, the mountain tiger suddenly appeared!

In your panic, you tried to use your sword to defend yourself again, but to your surprise, a withered aura had somehow clung to your sword, rendering you completely powerless.

This aura of decay rapidly filled your entire body as you struggled to resist.

You are beginning to lose the ability to sense the presence of spiritual energy...

[You are dead. 】

"How could he have died so suddenly?"

Su Chen frowned.

Everything seemed perfectly normal before.

After he broke through the encirclement, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly.

From the moment the mountain god reappeared until his own death, the entire process took less than half an incense stick's time.

It was as if, before he broke through, he was a mouse being toyed with by a cat.

"And when did this gloomy aura come about?"

Why wasn't there even the slightest sign?

Su Chen carefully observed everything in the picture and began to deduce things little by little.

The third option is obsolete, and the first two options are also useless.

He's the one who's trapped in the cage!

The mountain lord decides when to kill him entirely based on his mood.

If he hadn't already broken through the encirclement, the mountain lord probably wouldn't have been so ruthless!

The only option left for Su Chen was to personally intervene.

"They were already contaminated from the moment they entered the underground?"

Su Chen pushed his way back, but he didn't expect that the moment they entered the pool, they were already covered in this aura.

Not only him, but He Xingyao also had it.

This thing can directly block spiritual energy and prevent one from perceiving their surroundings.

When his aura was unleashed, he was practically a cripple!

"What exactly is this thing?"

How are tigers controlled?

Or rather, has it already been taken under control?

Su Chen watched the scene of the mountain lord's attack repeatedly, and only now did he realize that the opponent's attacks often did not resemble those of a demonic beast.

He seemed more like a monk.

Its demonic aura seemed particularly weak compared to this gloomy atmosphere.

"imitate?

Was the demonic aura a disguise?

Realizing this, Su Chen immediately understood.

The tiger is either dead or under someone's control!

Either possibility is terrifying!

No one knows how many missing demons are hidden in that underground area.

If things turn out as I guessed before...

A large number of powerful demons gathered together, either to plot something big or to be controlled or killed.

This is something that is hard to imagine in itself.

Generally speaking, the true form of a demon is far more powerful than the human form it takes.

Normal cultivators would never feel as relaxed as I do when facing them.

Demons have a strong sense of territory, but that doesn't mean they don't communicate with each other.

Quite the opposite!

Faced with attacks and pursuit from cultivators, their connection only grew stronger!

Once a demon is killed, or something happens that could affect their safety.

The information will inevitably be transmitted to various places in a short period of time.

Silently and without a sound, kill or control a large number of demons.

Whoever takes action, it signifies extremely formidable strength!

"Damn it, how do we break this deadlock?"

"Are we going to be stuck here?"

Looking at the image of the mountain king, Su Chen couldn't find any way to break the deadlock for a moment.

A person who has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage is already very powerful.

If he hadn't been incredibly powerful, he would have collapsed long ago. Now that all his methods are useless, how is he supposed to get past the Mountain Lord?

Chapter 137 Nascent Souls Gather

"This gloomy atmosphere is probably the key."

Su Chen repeatedly observed the aura emanating from himself and from the mountain lord.

This thing seems to be growing stronger in the battle.

"We need to figure out a way to get rid of this thing first."

Su Chen had made a detailed plan in his mind.

If personal intervention fails, the project will be permanently shut down.

For Su Chen, it was a waste of time.

"Let's leave it at that for now, let's intervene!"

A familiar dizziness washed over him, and everything in Su Chen's vision vanished instantly. When he looked up again, all he saw were thick, oppressive dark clouds.

Su Chen immediately examined himself internally.

Sure enough, in a corner of the dantian, that inconspicuous aura was found.

Su Chen tried to remove it by hand.
