Capítulo 1550: Chapter 1548: Ghost-faced Devil Bug

Although Ling Yun’s strength had already reached the later stage of the Divine Sea Realm, his body was a complete mess. The Dragon God’s Power surged into him, and Ling Feng could clearly feel that a very evil force was hidden within him, lurking in his Dantian and constantly spreading outwards!

“Your situation is quite dire!” Ling Feng said slowly, “The force inside you is continuously damaging your functions, and… it is also the source of your power. It has entrenched itself in your body, and resolving it will be very difficult!”

Ling Yun smiled, “I know, those things were injected into me by the laboratory.”

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll try to expel it for you first and see how it goes!”

“Alright, I’m listening to you, big brother!”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and channeled the Dragon God’s Power, attempting to expel the evil force within Ling Yun. The Dragon God’s Power, as the force of the Dragon God of the Dragon Clan, naturally possessed a kind of Vast Righteous Energy, which was the nemesis of this evil force!

But when Ling Feng tried to expel this force, it seemed to sense the threat of the Dragon God’s Power. It quickly retracted within Ling Yun and formed a powerful defensive barrier.

Ling Feng couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t expect it to be so sensitive!

“In that case, let’s see how strong you can really be!” Ling Feng snorted coldly and increased the output of the Dragon God’s Power!

The mighty Dragon God’s Power swept through like Holy Light breaking through clouds, leaving no trace of the evil force’s residual aura in its path!

Ling Yun’s face showed a look of comfort. He had endured the torment and erosion of this force for so long and hadn’t felt this comfortable in ages!

But when the Dragon God’s Power approached Ling Yun’s Dantian, the trouble began!

Because this evil force had concentrated all of its power in the Dantian, which is the most crucial place for a Cultivator, Ling Feng didn’t dare to invade recklessly, and could only probe cautiously!

Even after launching several consecutive assaults with the Dragon God’s Power, it still couldn’t breach the defense of this evil force!

Ling Feng felt a bit troubled. If only he could use the Devil’s Ring now, at least he could take out a Purple Cloud Pill for Ling Yun to consume, which would increase the chances of success considerably!

But at that moment, the situation in Ling Yun’s Dantian suddenly changed. The mass of evil force transformed into a ghostly face, snarling at the Dragon God’s Power with a hideous expression, shocking Ling Feng!

“This is not just a mere force, this… this is a living being!” A thought flashed through Ling Feng’s mind!

“Ah!” At this moment, Ling Yun suddenly held his head, crying out in pain.

Ling Feng hurriedly withdrew his hand, “What’s wrong?”

Clenching his teeth, Ling Yun said, “Just now, there was a piercing scream in my mind, it felt as if someone stabbed a sword into my head!”

Ling Feng realized that it was that creature inside Ling Yun causing trouble. It seemed that it couldn’t be dealt with now, or else, if it went berserk, Ling Yun might meet his end first!

“Ling Yun, do you know what that force inside you is?” Ling Feng asked.

Ling Yun shook his head, “I’m not sure, I only remember that everyone was forced to drink a bottle of green viscous liquid back then. I felt something pierce into my body at that time and later fainted several times. When I finally pulled through, I found that my strength had increased, unlike many others who didn’t make it and died on the experiment table!”

Ling Feng said seriously, “Have you ever considered what that thing you drank could be?”

Ling Yun shook his head, “I don’t know, maybe a potion to trigger potential!”

Ling Feng said solemnly, “Is it possible that what you drank wasn’t a potion, but a kind of parasitic creature?”

“What? Parasitic creature?” Ling Yun’s eyes narrowed, “Big brother, what do you mean?”

“I just discovered that the force inside you has an extremely strong autonomous defense capability, and when I approached it, it revealed a fierce ghostly face!” Ling Feng said gravely, “The scream you heard in your mind, I think it was from it!”

Ling Yun’s body trembled. He never expected that there would be a living parasite inside his body, nesting in his Dantian!

Thinking of this, Ling Yun felt a wave of nausea. Recalling the past years, he increasingly believed that Ling Feng was right, there must be a mysterious creature parasitizing inside him!

And this creature provided him with a powerful strength, but at the same time, it was siphoning off his vitality, treating him as a vessel for growth!

“I think someone should know more about this than us!” Ling Feng took a deep breath, “I need to ask Carly what exactly is going on!”

When Ling Feng told Carly about the situation inside Ling Yun, she fell silent!

“I think you should know better what kind of creature is inside Ling Yun,” Ling Feng looked intently at Carly.

Carly smiled wryly, “Since you’ve asked, I might as well come clean. Yes, I do know what kind of creature it is, and you’re right, every experimental subject indeed has such a creature implanted!”

“What kind of creature is it?” Ling Feng pressed on.

Carly looked up at Ling Feng, “Have you ever heard of a Monster Beast called the Ghost-faced Devil Bug, my lord?”

Ghost-faced Devil Bug? Ling Feng frowned. This was the first time he’d heard of this name!

“What is it?” Ling Feng asked.

Carly sighed, “The experimental subjects all have a Ghost-faced Devil Bug implanted, which is the thing inside Ling Yun. The Ghost-faced Devil Bug uses a cultivator’s Dantian as its nest. During the early stages of hatching, it can significantly increase the host’s cultivation, but…”

“But as they mature, they start to devour the host’s Dantian and power to nourish themselves!”

Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed, “Such a creature exists? What’s the sign of their maturity?”

“When the host’s strength reaches the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, that’s when they’re close to maturity,” Carly sighed, “In fact, the main reason why the experimental subjects started rioting is that the Ghost-faced Devil Bugs were maturing and needed to find a safe place to break out of their cocoon!”

“When they break out of the cocoon, their strength will reach the Azure Sky Realm,” Carly said, “So if we don’t find a way out, the only path left is death!”
