#707 - Ancient Demon Cave
Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng's three thousand elite cultivators were also working tirelessly, displaying their formidable strength.
Long Tianqi and Baihu Qingyang went all out, directly confronting the opposing side's half-step Deity Transformation stage evil spirits.
Their strength was now vastly different from what it once was, and with the addition of the elite gear, they managed to slay a half-step Deity Transformation level evil spirit in the void within just a few exchanges.
Skeletal Hermit's expression was grim at this moment; he had finally realized the unfavorable turn of events.
Despite having a multitude of evil spirits under his command, they were being annihilated by Li Chengfeng's rolling, thunderous Great Prophecy Spell; the more there were, the more tragically they died.
And the eerie "him" above Li Chengfeng's head was like a bottomless pit, devouring all power, leaving Skeletal Hermit feeling powerless.
The Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku, was also shaken; he suddenly realized that although Li Chengfeng was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the power he unleashed was unmatched even by late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. He realized that he could no longer hesitate.
"Skeletal Hermit, you hold back his three thousand cultivators and that Long Tianqi," Tian Ku said in a deep voice, "Let me test Li Chengfeng and see if he has improved over the years.
Although his advancement speed is rapid, reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just a few decades, in my opinion, his foundation is unstable, likely due to his eagerness for quick success."
However, what Tian Ku didn't know was that Li Chengfeng hadn't just been cultivating for the past few decades; he had spent hundreds of years honing himself within the Soul Devouring Space.
If you added it all together, his cultivation time should be close to a thousand years, with an astonishingly deep foundation.
Tian Ku immediately cast a secret technique; a special power emanated from his entire body, demonic energy surged, and a massive illusory image of an ancient demon flashed from behind him.
Although it was only an illusion, the domineering aura of a demon was unmistakable, inspiring awe.
He pointed at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Demon's Grotto-Heaven, heaven and earth are at my disposal. Li Chengfeng, you will not escape the confinement of my Grotto-Heaven!"
As Tian Ku's words fell, a massive Grotto-Heaven world descended from the sky, as if to trap Li Chengfeng within it.
As Tian Ku's words fell, the surrounding world suddenly changed, and Li Chengfeng and Tian Ku were drawn into a special space created by magic.
Although this space was slightly inferior in sophistication to those spaces familiar to Li Chengfeng, it had its own unique features.
Here, there were only the two of them; neither could escape unless they killed or suppressed the other. Otherwise, they would not be able to leave this space.
Long Tianqi and the others were anxious and worried when they saw Li Chengfeng being taken into a special space by the Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku.
However, Li Chengfeng remained calm and looked at Tian Ku, saying faintly: "I know you hate me to the bone; all your plans have been ruined by me; it's understandable that you hate me so much today.
Just like our goals are the same, you want to obtain the Ancient Demon Power inheritance, and I want to obtain the Ancient Demon Art inheritance."
Tian Ku chuckled sinisterly and said: "Li Chengfeng, ah, Li Chengfeng, I underestimated you from the beginning.
Back then, one of my clones was deceived and killed by you, which caused my plan to fall short.
In the past hundred years, I have painstakingly researched secret techniques and taken my own step forward in the Ancient Demon's Art inheritance.
This time, I have fused the power of the Grotto-Heaven with a trace of my own mist, forming this cage space, called 'Ancient Demon Grotto-Heaven'.
Here, you have no chance to escape, nor can anyone assist you.
I will let you know what helplessness is, what pain is, and what regret is."
Li Chengfeng nodded, approvingly saying: "Not bad, you have indeed taken your own step forward.
You can actually condense a Grotto-Heaven at the half-step Deity Transformation stage, although it is only an image and the time is very rushed. The time you can trap me is also limited, at most no more than six hours.
If you cannot defeat me within six hours, the Grotto-Heaven will self-destruct, and you will lose this opportunity."
Li Chengfeng spoke eloquently, seeing through the weaknesses of the Grotto-Heaven at a glance.
His attainments in techniques and secret arts were unmatched by the Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku.
Otherwise, Li Chengfeng would not have been able to comprehend the Flourishing and Withered Sky-Reaching Art and eliminate his confidant's great trouble—the Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku's clone.
The Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku's face immediately darkened, demonic energy soared to the sky, and he looked at Li Chengfeng, coldly saying: "You're right, you really haven't changed, you are very sensitive to techniques. So what if you know, six hours is enough to kill you."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "You are wrong to be eager for quick success, blinded by profit.
I believe Xue Qingchen reminded you not to be impatient, to act according to the plan, and not to easily make an enemy of me even if you encounter me, but you took it as a grain of salt.
Also, this Ancient Demon Grotto-Heaven is not something you came up with yourself, it should be Xue Qingchen who reminded you, and you developed such a technique based on this, am I right?"
Li Chengfeng's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Tian Ku's heart.
The Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku's face became even more unsightly under Li Chengfeng's words, as if his scars had been uncovered, exposing everything.
Li Chengfeng was completely correct, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes, which made him feel that Li Chengfeng must be eliminated, otherwise all his trump cards would be exposed in front of him.
Enraged, Tian Ku coldly shouted: "Enough nonsense, give me your life!" He no longer held back and attacked Li Chengfeng with all his strength.
This was the first time Li Chengfeng had directly faced a half-step Deity Transformation powerhouse, but he was not in a hurry to confront him head-on, but chose to dodge directly.
With a whoosh, he unfolded the Wings of Space on his back. Although he could not escape the power of this Grotto-Heaven, he could continue to dodge within the Grotto-Heaven, preventing the Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku's spells from accurately hitting him.
Li Chengfeng's movements were unpredictable, like a ghost, making Tian Ku difficult to grasp.
Seeing this, Tian Ku became even more furious. He roared and increased his attack power, trying to trap Li Chengfeng to death within the Grotto-Heaven.
Li Chengfeng's Wings of Space displayed amazing agility in this narrow space. He flashed continuously, quickly traversing through the spells, as if a fish in water, extremely comfortable.
At this moment, the Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku's pupils shrank; he finally felt Li Chengfeng's extraordinary nature.
At first, Tian Ku thought that as long as he used the power of the Grotto-Heaven, Li Chengfeng would be a lamb to the slaughter in front of him.
However, now it seemed that was not the case. This Ancient Demon's Small Grotto-Heaven was not just a simple prison, imprisoning opponents within it to fight.
It contained some rules and Dao rhymes, all of which belonged to the Ancient Demon.
Tian Ku originally wanted to use the Small Grotto-Heaven to increase his speed while reducing his opponent's speed, in order to achieve his goal of being able to attack the opponent at any time.
However, with the Wings of Space, not only was Li Chengfeng's speed not weakened, but it was even faster.
Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry to attack, but looked at the Ancient Demon Art inheritor, Tian Ku, with a bright gaze, as if carefully observing him, to find the flaws in his technique.
