Chapter 201, Promotion

boom!

A layer of force appeared in front of the fist, but before it could form an obstacle, it was instantly shattered.

The dark golden fist slammed into the demon's body, striking its core.

In that instant, Lin Ran's expression changed slightly, the dark golden radiance on his body disappeared by more than half, and he felt an unprecedented sense of weakness.

Then, his eyes flashed, and he controlled his mental power, unleashing his pupil technique with all his might. His mental power transformed into a bright silver blade that pierced into the core of the demon, severing its soul.

The black and white colors are filled with color.

The demon's body shuddered, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. It lowered its head tremblingly and saw a hand grabbing its core.

boom!

Lin Ran didn't give the demon a chance. With a single palm strike, she pushed his head into her chest.

After briefly observing the core, three more mental blades struck down, causing the core to tremble violently for a while before finally going completely silent.

"There's a problem with the core; let's refine the corpse first."

Lin Ran waved her hand, and Yan Lingfei and the Spirit Master immediately began to work together to refine the corpse.

Lin Ran observed the core, using the Truth Eye Technique to see through layers of disguise, reaching the very center.

A mutilated, semi-transparent demonic soul was staring at him with a ferocious expression.

"Human! You dare kill..."

"Heh~"

Lin Ran smiled coldly and activated her mental blade once again.

The demon's fragmented soul was unable to utter its final words before it was shattered into countless rays of light.

Click!

Cracks appeared on the core surface, spreading to the entire core, and finally shattered into pieces with a snap.

Lin Ran tossed away the broken core, feeling a little regretful that such a perfectly good core had been wasted.

Fortunately, the Spirit Lord is not far from breaking through. After completely refining the demon's corpse, his aura is already advancing towards the seventh rank.

Lin Ran walked to the window, looked down at the demons darting back and forth, and suddenly had an idea.

"Ling Fei,"

"Hmm? Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

"Can your deathmatch arena cover this entire city?"

Lin Ran asked,

Yan Lingfei observed for a while, then nodded.

"Sure, but it's a bit of a stretch. Brother Lin wants to wipe out this city?"

"Hmm, we can't waste so many cultivation materials."

Lin Ran nodded. The alien races he had previously wiped out were all on a scale of hundreds of thousands or even more. A mere demon city was no problem at all!

Yan Lingfei estimated for a moment and then said,

"Fully deploying the deathmatch arena can cover the entire city, but it's powerless to stop external attacks. The rest is up to you, Brother Lin."

"Okay, we'll start after the Spirit Lord's breakthrough is complete. You can send this jade pendant to Qi Qi. It can block the communication between territory controllers and let her come over to take over this city. She's only at the early stage of the seventh rank, so she's still a bit lacking."

Lin Ran handed the miraculous jade pendant to Yan Lingfei, who nodded and then disappeared into the distance.

……

boundary.

Ling Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes and saw a small flame rapidly approaching. After recognizing Yan Lingfei, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Qiqi, this is from Brother Lin. He wants you to carry it with you so that the other controller can't find you."

"Okay, Brother Lin, are you asking me to go over too?" Ling Qiqi didn't hesitate and put the jade pendant inside her chest.

"Yes, Brother Lin wants you to go as soon as possible."

Yan Lingfei wasn't envious, because she could do it too.

"Then let's go."

……

Inside the Demon Castle.

Lin Ran stood beside the Spirit Master, helping her to seal the aura of her breakthrough until the aura gradually stabilized and finally returned to calm.

"Seventh rank, still far from enough." The Spirit Lord opened his eyes, a flash of hatred in them.

"Elves?" Lin Ran thought for a moment and asked.

"Hmm." The Spirit Master's expression darkened slightly; he didn't want to bring up the matter.

Lin Ran ruffled her hair.

"Once you've made some more breakthroughs, I'll take you there."

"...Okay." The Spirit Master stared at Lin Ran for a long time before suddenly smiling.

Two auras rapidly approached, and Ling Qiqi and Yan Lingfei landed in the room.

"Brother Lin, Qiqi is here."

"Okay, let's begin." Lin Ran nodded.

The group arrived above the city.

Yan Lingfei was positioned in the center, with the others positioned around her to guard against a potential demonic attack.

Then, Yan Lingfei took a deep breath, clapped her hands, and slowly pulled them apart to the left and right.

The projection of the Yan Emperor's Death Arena appeared silently, and as she opened her hands, it rapidly expanded, covering an area of ​​several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

The commotion caught the attention of the demons below, who immediately came forward to investigate.

Lin Ran glanced around and, through the spiritual energy translation model, heard the demons' conversation.

"What is that? I have a bad feeling."

"Not demons, but humans from elsewhere. Why would humans be here? And how could they possess such abilities?"

"That power... I have a bad feeling about it. Let's get out of here first. Their target is likely this city. Let's get away from here quickly."

"Hmph, just a few humans. Weak humans have high cultivation levels but no fighting power. Watch me kill them! I've heard that human flesh tastes delicious. I wonder if it's true."

"..."

Some demons fled out of the city, while others rushed towards Lin Ran and his group.

Lin Ran merely glanced at them indifferently, and countless sharp blades instantly appeared in the void, slicing through the bodies of these demons.

Puff puff……

The demon froze in mid-air, then its body shattered into pieces and fell downwards, its core falling with it.

The other demons that rushed up immediately turned and left without any intention of stopping.

The expansion of the Emperor Yan's Death Arena has stopped. Its area has already exceeded the Demon City. After slowly descending, it enveloped the city, and only a few demons escaped.

Yan Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief. "It's done."

"Okay, let's get started. Let's kill the sixth-tier ones first."

Lin Ran said, then raised her hand and pressed down.

boom!

A giant golden handprint appeared out of thin air and landed heavily in the central square of the city. Instantly, the bodies of hundreds of demons exploded and their cores scattered.

Yan Lingfei controlled the death arena, and the dead demons were refined. Their power was integrated into Ling Qiqi's body, causing a blush to appear on her fair cheeks.

Lin Ran moved swiftly and arrived at the city's border. Several sixth-tier demons were attacking the arena, causing the arena's barrier to tremble slightly.

He immediately took action, waving his hand and sending out dozens of streams of light that pierced through the bodies of demons and shattered their cores.

The deathmatch arena began to shrink, forcing all the demons out of their hiding places.

Lin Ran and the Spirit Lord fought within the city, crushing one sixth-tier demon after another. Demons of the fifth tier and below could not resist the erosion of the Flame Emperor's Death Arena and quickly perished within it.

As for demons below the fourth rank, they were all dead within a minute of landing in the deathmatch arena.

Ling Qiqi closed her eyes, and countless starlight-like powers surged into her body, causing her aura to rise rapidly. As the Yan Emperor's Death Arena contracted, the speed at which her aura increased became even faster.

As the deathmatch arena shrank to only a few dozen meters in diameter, Ling Qiqi's aura suddenly surged, and she entered a new world.

Eighth Rank!
