Steady Mortal Path: Starting from Obtaining the Golden Core Inheritance

"Hmm? Your consciousness can actually break free from its restraints!?"

A surprised voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the demon infant's figure flashed and floated to the surface of the lake, its clear and cold eyes revealing indifference as it quietly sized up Lin Changsheng.

Immediately, a massive divine sense extended toward Lin Changsheng, and a sense of being watched arose spontaneously.

Lin Changsheng felt that all his secrets were exposed under the influence of this fourth-tier demon king-level divine sense.

A powerful stinging sensation struck again, and Lin Changsheng couldn't help but let out a painful groan. He immediately guarded his sea of ​​consciousness to resist the demon infant's divine sense.

"How can a human in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage possess pseudo-Core Formation level divine sense! No wonder you were able to break free from my divine sense illusion!"

The infant demon spoke with astonishment, as if it had encountered something utterly absurd.

"A divine consciousness illusion?"

"It seems that the other party did not intend to possess my body, but instead used its powerful divine sense to create an illusion and imprison my consciousness."

Lin Changsheng suddenly realized.

This illusion that imprisons the divine consciousness is similar to a seal, causing one's consciousness to fall into depravity, while the cultivator himself falls into a state of being a living dead.

In this state, one is extremely susceptible to possession and control by the consciousness or other means of a high-level cultivator, with minimal resistance.

"There are many things you don't know."

Lin Changsheng snorted coldly, looking calmly at the demon infant floating on the shore.

His body was lifted from the water by a gentle force, his fingertips pinching and fiddling, glistening with a faint sheen.

"Boy, I don't like that look in your eyes!"

The miniature demon infant frowned and said in an unhappy tone.

For some reason, the calm gaze of the white-robed human cultivator in front of her made her feel a little flustered.

The next moment, a powerful aura of magic suddenly rose around the lake.

Within a radius of more than ten feet, a faint magical light barrier descended like a giant, luminous bowl, trapping the demonic infant within.

"rise!"

Lin Changsheng's fingertips shone brightly, emitting a dazzling luster that was hard to look directly at.

With a flick of the finger, twelve talismans shrouded in spiritual energy flew out from around the light screen and hovered quietly.

Twelve Tier 3 Thunder Talismans!

A violent and frenzied purple aura emanated from the talismans, as if each talisman contained a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble.

"This is... a third-tier rune array! You actually set up a third-tier rune array here long ago!"

The cold voice finally trembled slightly. The miniature demon infant flapped its delicate butterfly wings and transformed into a streak of green light, rampaging through the formation as if it desperately wanted to break free.

The third-order rune array trembled slightly, and ripples spread across its surface.

Despite its seemingly imposing presence, the impact of this tiny demonic infant caused extremely limited damage to the talisman array, even less than that of the fake Core Formation cultivator Gong Wanliang back then.

Lin Changsheng wore a faint smile as if he had expected this scene.

In order to protect the spirit tree, in addition to planting other similar spirit plants to deceive people, he also set up this third-order rune array nearby.

Who would have thought that after this tiny demon infant attacked him, it just so happened to enter the range of the talisman array, it was simply a stroke of luck!

Whether it is the demonic infant of a demonic beast or the nascent soul of a human, they are special products born from the combination of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and one's own divine consciousness, and have almost no actual mass.

Aside from simply mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cast spells and using divine sense to attack, the only remaining characteristic is its incredible speed.

This is why Nascent Soul cultivators, after their physical bodies are damaged, mostly escape by leaving their Nascent Souls rather than continuing to fight to the death in their Nascent Soul state and turning the tide in a desperate situation.

Upon meeting him, the demonic infant unleashed a divine sense attack on a Foundation Establishment cultivator like himself. While the divine sense appeared powerful, it also had the element of surprise.

The fact that a mere transformed demon king would resort to sneak attacks against low-level cultivators suggests that the opponent's condition is likely quite poor and is definitely not that of a normal demon infant.

"burst!"

Lin Changsheng silently recited the mantra, then moved his hand in a spell, and a terrifying lightning attribute fluctuation surged from a third-tier lightning talisman.

'boom! ’

A thick arc of purple lightning was instantly activated within the third-tier rune array, and a frenzied aura suddenly filled every corner of the space.

Looking up, a faint magical shield appeared around the demonic infant trapped in the talisman array, enveloping its nascent soul.

'boom! ’

'boom! ’

Two more Tier 3 Thunder Talismans flew into it and were activated by Lin Changsheng at the same time!

Two deafening sounds caused ripples to spread across the surface of the surrounding lake.

Inside the talisman array, the soil was scorched black, a scene of utter devastation.

The demon infant trapped inside appeared noticeably dimmer.

Originally, with Lin Changsheng's original spiritual strength, he could only barely activate a third-tier thunder talisman in a short period of time.

However, under the pressure of the demonic infant's divine sense, he unexpectedly benefited from the fusion of the Heavenly Poison True Man's memories, causing his own divine sense to surge again, reaching the level of a pseudo-core cultivator.

Therefore, they are adept at manipulating rune arrays and activating third-order runes.

'call.'

Lin Changsheng took a deep breath and activated the thunder talisman again, continuously throwing it into the talisman array.

A series of thunderclaps, like bolts from a clear sky, echoed through Changchun Peak.

'boom! ’

After seven or eight consecutive third-tier lightning talismans bombarded the area.

Lin Changsheng looked closely and saw that the green demon infant was in a very sorry state, like a stray dog, lying on the scorched soil. Most of its spiritual light was dim, and its aura was also much weaker.

"Human, release me! I'll kill you!"

Even though it was trapped by the talisman array, the miniature demon infant still showed a fierce face to Lin Changsheng and threatened him.

However, given her current state, such words have no deterrent effect whatsoever.

After a short rest, Lin Changsheng activated the Thunder Talisman again to bombard the Nascent Soul within the talisman array.

These demonic beasts are different from humans. Those who can become demon kings are all unruly and wild. If they cannot be killed in one go, it will be troublesome if they really escape the talisman array.

"Human brat, if you dare to activate the lightning talisman again, I will simply self-destruct my nascent soul! Your measly third-tier talisman array may be able to trap the demon infant, but it cannot stop the nascent soul from self-destructing!"

Just as a third-tier lightning talisman was about to fall, the demonic infant in the talisman array finally showed fear and screamed a threat!

At the same time, the aura within this miniature demon infant reversed, stirring up a fear that emanated from the soul.

Judging from this, he really looks like he's about to self-destruct his Nascent Soul!

The third-tier lightning talisman hovered silently in the air, having already been activated halfway, but was abruptly stopped by Lin Changsheng.

Feeling this chilling aura of danger, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

A demon infant is an essence that a demon beast can only condense after hundreds of years of cultivation.

If it were to self-destruct, its power would be immense, and the entire Changchun Peak training ground would likely cease to exist.

Unless one is confident that they can kill the opponent in an instant with the same swift and powerful force as when they killed Gong Wanliang, they can effectively avoid self-destruction.

For a moment, the two were at an impasse.

"Human brat, if you don't want to perish together with me, activate the rune array immediately. Once I'm free, I'll leave immediately and never bother you again."

Seeing Lin Changsheng hesitate, the miniature demon infant revealed a hopeful look and spoke gently.
