Chapter 193 Memory Reading
The battlefield of the Spirit Realm was like an abyss cursed by darkness. Gale-force winds howled, sand and stones flew, and streaks of black lightning, like ferocious dragons, raged and roared through the thick, inky clouds, casting flickering light on the earth. The air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder and the nauseating stench of blood; every breath felt like swallowing the taste of death.
The dark beasts of the "Dark Night Society" roamed like mountains, their massive bodies carving deep craters into the ground wherever they went, crushing even the hardest rocks like fragile paper. These beasts bared their fangs and roared, spewing black flames with destructive power that reduced everything in their path to ashes. Members of the "Dark Night Society" moved through the darkness like ghosts, their figures appearing and disappearing, their dark artifacts gleaming with eerie light. A barrage of malevolent spells rained down on Lin Qing and his companions like a dense rain of arrows.
Lin Qing was enveloped in golden flames of blood energy, the ultimate manifestation of his perfect fusion of blood energy and innate Qi. He wielded a longsword, its blade dazzlingly bright, each swing unleashing a golden storm of sword energy that deflected the attacks of the dark behemoth and the spells of the "Dark Night Society" members. However, facing the relentless onslaught of enemies, weariness gradually crept onto his face; sweat soaked his clothes, yet his eyes remained as resolute as ever.
Ye Lan stood at the rear of the battlefield, surrounded by a layer of transparent energy ripples—a protective barrier she had created with the sound of her flute. The dark magic of the "Dark Night Society" relentlessly assaulted this barrier, producing piercing sounds. Each impact caused the barrier to tremble violently, as if it would shatter at any moment. But Ye Lan gritted her teeth, the melody she played on her flute growing increasingly stirring, her eyes revealing an indomitable will as she single-handedly protected the rear of her followers.
Jasmine threw herself wholeheartedly into breaking the evil control exerted by the leader of the "Dark Night Society." Her hands moved rapidly, invisible threads of energy shooting from her fingertips like nimble sprites, silently infiltrating the depths of the souls of the "Dark Night Society" members. With the combined power of her microscopic energy perception and spiritual energy, she carefully adjusted the distorted soul links, attempting to sever their evil connection with the leader. Fine beads of sweat covered her forehead, her face was as pale as snow, and the prolonged period of intense mental concentration had left her exhausted, but her eyes shone with unwavering determination, never wavering in the slightest.
Just as everyone was fighting with all their might, Qin Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a bold and risky idea emerged in his mind. He knew that simply breaking the control over the henchmen was not enough to completely defeat the leader of the "Dark Night Society"; he had to find the core weakness in his techniques.
"I'm going to use my spatial abilities to invade the consciousness of the 'Dark Night Society' leader and read his memories. Maybe I can find the key information to defeat him," Qin Feng said to the crowd, his voice firm and powerful.
"This is too dangerous, Qin Feng! The leader of the 'Dark Night Society' is very powerful. If he discovers you, the consequences will be unimaginable." Jasmine looked at Qin Feng with a worried expression, her eyes filled with concern and fear.
Qin Feng smiled slightly, his eyes filled with determination: "I know, but this is our best chance to completely defeat him. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
After speaking, Qin Feng slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself completely in the use of his spatial abilities. His consciousness, like an invisible thread, followed the spatial pathways, extending towards the black rift where the leader of the "Dark Night Society" had disappeared. Within that rift, darkness surged and roared like a raging tide, resembling a colossal beast that devoured everything.
Upon entering the black rift, Qin Feng immediately felt a powerful and malevolent force rushing towards him. This force, like a ferocious beast, bared its fangs and claws, attempting to devour his consciousness. He gritted his teeth and fully activated his spatial power, forming a sturdy shield around his consciousness. This shield shimmered with a strange light and was composed of countless tiny spatial runes, each containing immense power to resist the invasion of this malevolent force.
"Hmph, trying to stop me? Not so easy!" Qin Feng thought to himself. His consciousness, like a brave bird, struggled forward through the dark storm, continuing to delve deeper.
Finally, Qin Feng's consciousness touched upon the consciousness of the leader of the "Dark Night Society." It was a realm filled with darkness and madness, where countless distorted images flickered and leaped, like an endless nightmare. Here, there were the agonizing screams of tormented souls, the endless spread of evil desires, and the rampant flow of dark power. Qin Feng cautiously explored this sea of consciousness, his mind like a keen hunter, searching for useful information in the darkness.
Deep in his memory, Qin Feng saw the scene of the leader of the "Dark Night Society" cultivating a technique. It was an extremely evil technique that enhanced one's strength by absorbing the souls and emotional energy of others. During cultivation, a huge black vortex would appear around the leader, continuously drawing in the souls and emotional energy of those around him. He would be at the center of the vortex, greedily devouring this energy, each absorption making him even more powerful.
However, upon closer observation, Qin Feng discovered a crucial flaw. While this technique was powerful, each time it absorbed energy, it left a brief period of weakness deep within the soul. During this period, the leader's soul defenses became extremely vulnerable, like a warrior stripped of his armor, utterly fragile. If this opportunity could be seized to launch an attack, it might be possible to defeat him in one fell swoop.
"Found it!" Qin Feng was overjoyed, his consciousness trembling with excitement. Just as he was about to withdraw from the consciousness of the leader of the "Dark Night Society," he suddenly felt a powerful suction force. That suction force was like an invisible black hole, instantly gripping his consciousness tightly.
"Damn it, I've been discovered!" Qin Feng thought to himself, realizing the situation was dire. The leader of the "Dark Night Society" had sensed his intrusion and was attempting to trap his consciousness here forever. The leader's consciousness, like an enraged dragon, roared in the darkness and lunged at Qin Feng's consciousness.
Qin Feng struggled with all his might, using spatial power to try and break free from the suction force. Around his consciousness, spatial power surged like a raging tide, constantly impacting the suction. However, the power of the "Dark Night Society" leader was too overwhelming; his consciousness was gradually swallowed by darkness. The darkness, like a cold tide, slowly engulfed his consciousness, his vision becoming increasingly blurred, as if he were about to sink into an endless abyss of darkness.
"Qin Feng, how are you?" In the real world, Jasmine sensed Qin Feng's danger and called out anxiously. Her voice was filled with endless worry and fear, and her hands, which were adjusting the soul link, paused involuntarily.
Lin Qing and Ye Lan also stopped their fighting and looked at Qin Feng with worried expressions. Qin Feng had his eyes tightly closed, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he were fighting a life-or-death battle with an invisible enemy.
"No, I can't give up!" Qin Feng roared in his heart. He mobilized all his spatial abilities and, at the last moment, finally broke free from the consciousness binding the leader of the "Dark Night Society" and returned to the real world.
"Qin Feng, you're finally awake!" Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling in her eyes. She rushed to Qin Feng's side and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would disappear again.
Qin Feng opened his eyes, a tired but relieved smile on his face: "I'm fine. I've found a weakness in his technique. Every time he absorbs energy, his soul goes through a brief period of weakness, which we can take advantage of to launch an attack."
"Great! This is crucial information!" Lin Qing exclaimed excitedly, his eyes gleaming with the hope of victory. The longsword in his hand once again shone with golden light, as if preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.
“But we need to find a way to get him to absorb energy again, and precisely time it when he’s weak,” Ye Lan said, frowning. Her eyes gleamed with thought as she began to devise a plan to exploit this weakness.
The group fell into deep thought, plotting how to exploit this weakness to deliver a fatal blow to the leader of the "Dark Night Society," ending this terrible battle and saving the Spirit Illusion Continent. On the battlefield, the wind still howled, and darkness still shrouded everything, but a flame of hope ignited in everyone's hearts. That flame flickered in the darkness, yet it was incredibly firm, as if foreshadowing the imminent arrival of light.
