Tian Ling's consciousness space was a world filled with magma and fire. Mars floated in the air, and the scorching temperature could even cause any fabric to spontaneously combust!
Ye Ling stood on the cracked ground, looking at the dark red space, and frowned, "Why is Tian Ling's consciousness space so oppressive?"
A person's consciousness space reflected their mental state. If a person was positive, cheerful, and optimistic, their materialized mental space should be a world of birds singing and flowers blooming, and vice versa.
In Ye Ling's eyes, Tian Ling was a cheerful and optimistic girl, and her consciousness space should not be as oppressive as it was now.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said, "Perhaps she saw you kill her master with her own eyes, and her spirit collapsed, causing her consciousness space to become like this."
Ye Ling nodded subconsciously, then was startled and looked at the World-Destroying Spirit Fire coiled around his wrist in shock, exclaiming, "How did you get in?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said, "I followed your consciousness in. When you used your soul power to investigate the girl's soul condition, I was curious and followed your soul power in to take a look. As a result, I was sucked in."
"You..."
Ye Ling was quite speechless at the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's explanation, and the key was that he couldn't find any point to refute it.
Ye Ling didn't intend to argue with the World-Destroying Spirit Fire about this matter. He sighed, "Never mind, since you're in, you're in. Can you see anything?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire scanned Tian Ling's consciousness space carefully and then said, "This girl's consciousness space is a bit strange. It seems to have signs of artificial modification."
"Artificial modification?" Ye Ling looked at the space again carefully, "What do you mean?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said, "Well... this consciousness space has heavy traces of artificial carving, and I can also sense that this consciousness space has more than one owner."
"More than one owner?" Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling's eyes changed slightly. He also tried to release his soul power to carefully examine the situation in this consciousness space.
As expected, when Ye Ling released his soul power, he discovered that in this consciousness space, besides Tian Ling's main consciousness, there was another hidden consciousness.
A consciousness space with multiple consciousnesses meant either the person had multiple personalities or someone else had invaded the consciousness space.
Ye Ling knew Tian Ling quite well and knew that the girl absolutely did not have a dual personality.
After eliminating this possibility, it meant that Tian Ling's consciousness had been invaded.
Realizing this, Ye Ling no longer dared to be careless. He immediately withdrew his soul power, concentrated, and guarded against sneak attacks.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire urged, "Don't just stand here. Find Tian Ling's consciousness first, and then find a way to leave this damned place. Don't forget that your body is still outside. If you are discovered by people from beyond the domain, everything will be over."
"En..." Ye Ling nodded and didn't linger in the same spot. He moved towards the direction of Tian Ling's consciousness that he had sensed.
Soon, Ye Ling climbed a volcano and reached the crater.
There was erupting magma in the crater, but above the magma, there was a bed made of profound ice, and Tian Ling was lying asleep on the profound ice bed.
"Why is this girl sleeping in such a place?"
Ye Ling saw Tian Ling in the center of the magma and murmured, then leaped into the crater, stepping onto the magma.
Boom!
The moment Ye Ling stepped on the magma, red tentacles shot out from beneath the magma and rushed towards Ye Ling!
"What is this?"
Ye Ling dodged the attacking red tentacles, grabbed one, and found that mysterious patterns were carved on the surface of the tentacle, and an unusually powerful force was hidden beneath it.
Before Ye Ling could carefully examine the origin of the tentacle, the mysterious patterns lit up with an eerie glow!
Ye Ling immediately felt a great sense of danger and immediately let go of the blood-colored tentacle and retreated!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The mysterious patterns immediately shot out eerie light, directly cutting the surrounding space into pieces, even cutting the magma with smooth surfaces.
"Hehehehe... you actually dodged it."
A sinister laugh echoed around. Ye Ling looked up and saw a monster that was completely transparent, with tentacles for arms, a round head, and eyes glowing red, standing at the back of the crater, staring at him with a sinister grin.
"This is..."
Ye Ling looked at the semi-transparent monster, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he immediately condensed a rune barrier around himself.
The owner of a consciousness space had absolute control over it. Outsiders entering a consciousness space would have their strength suppressed accordingly.
Currently, Ye Ling's consciousness was the only one in Tian Ling's consciousness space. The strength he could exert was less than one-tenth of his usual. Moreover, the semi-transparent monster standing in the crater had supreme cultivation, and it was an old-fashioned supreme!
If Ye Ling fought the semi-transparent monster in his current state, there was a high probability of capsizing in the gutter!
Upon seeing the monster, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire instantly realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly warned Ye Ling, "Kid, be careful. That thing is a spirit demon from beyond the domain, specializing in feeding on people's consciousness spaces. They can steal people's control over their consciousness spaces and exert ten times the strength in the consciousness space compared to their strength outside!"
"I'm afraid our consciousnesses were also forcibly sucked in by it!"
"There are such ghosts in this world?" Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, a hint of solemnity flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. He immediately soared into the air, returned to the crater, and confronted the spirit demon.
The spirit demon stared at Ye Ling with a smile and said, "Ancestor Yan ordered me to guard here to prevent anyone from stealing the soul of the formation eye. I didn't expect to actually catch a big fish today."
"You are Ye Ling, right? As long as I kill you here, Ancestor Yan will surely reward me handsomely, hehe..."
Ye Ling sized up the spirit demon opposite him while mocking, "A bug like you, hiding in someone else's consciousness space and surviving by parasitism, wanting to take my life is a foolish delusion."
The spirit demon was not angered by Ye Ling's mockery and continued to laugh, "I might not be your match outside, but in this consciousness space, killing you is like crushing an ant!"
"You don't even know how much the owner of this consciousness space hates you. In this consciousness space, I can borrow her power to deal with you, and my strength can increase a hundredfold!"
As the spirit demon finished speaking, a giant hand condensed from the sky and pressed down on Ye Ling at an extremely fast speed!
Seeing the giant hand approaching, Ye Ling's eyes changed slightly. Just as he was about to dodge, two tentacles suddenly shot out from the ground beneath his feet and tightly wrapped around Ye Ling's legs!
"Bad!" Ye Ling's eyes changed slightly. Before he could break free from the two tentacles, the giant hand in the air smashed down fiercely!
Bang!!!
The huge volcano was instantly shattered, and Ye Ling was submerged in magma!
