I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 229: The inheritance is hard to resist, the devil attacks again

"Lin'er, wait for me..." This whisper was like a sharp blade, piercing through the illusion woven by the inner demon. The fog in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a clear sky and the figure that haunted his dreams.

Though the power of the ancient inheritance was feeble, it was like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in his heart and bringing him hope and courage. He clenched his fists, feeling the power surging within him, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"Get out of here!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, his voice no longer confused, but full of power. He mobilized every ounce of strength in his body, struggling to resist the constraints of his inner demon.

The inner demon roared unwillingly, trying to use more powerful illusions to confuse Ren Xiaoyao. However, Ren Xiaoyao's mind was as solid as a rock, and no matter how the inner demon tried to confuse him, it could not shake him at all.

"Damn it! Do you think you can get rid of me like this? You are too naive!" The inner demon roared. It was unwilling to fail like this. It wanted to drag Ren Xiaoyao into the abyss completely.

At this moment, a suffocating evil aura suddenly descended, covering the entire valley like a dark cloud. The Black Demon King's cold voice rang out in everyone's ears: "Haha, this is truly touching. It's a pity that you don't have a chance!"

It turned out that the Black Demon King had been secretly observing all this. He had originally planned to wait for Ren Xiaoyao and the inner demon to be both defeated, and then reap the benefits. But when he saw that Ren Xiaoyao had actually begun to fight back and seemed to have gained the power of ancient inheritance, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Heisha! How dare you break the agreement!" True Lord Jiuyang shouted angrily. He never expected that the Black Evil King would take action at this time.

"A promise? Hahaha..." The Black Demon King laughed wildly, "That's nothing but a piece of empty paper. As long as I obtain the ancient inheritance, I can rule the world. By then, who will remember any promise?"

True Lord Jiuyang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the Black Demon King: "Old Jiuyang, your opponent is me!"

Before he finished speaking, the Black Demon King flashed and transformed into a streak of black lightning, heading straight for Ren Xiaoyao. His blood-red eyes flashed with greed, as if he had seen prey within reach.

Seeing this, the ethereal fairy was horrified and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She could only watch the Black Demon King approach Ren Xiaoyao. At this time, Ren Xiaoyao was in the critical moment of fighting against his inner demon and could not distract himself to deal with the Black Demon King's attack.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Fairy Kongling shouted anxiously.

However, the Black Demon King was so fast that he arrived in front of Ren Xiaoyao in the blink of an eye. He raised the black magic sword in his hand and slashed down fiercely with the power to destroy the world...

Xia Lin's heart felt as if it were being tightly grasped, a suffocating feeling enveloping her. She watched helplessly as the Black Demon King transformed into a streak of black lightning and lunged towards Ren Xiaoyao, who was still battling his inner demons. Despair entwined itself around her like a vine.

"Brother Xiaoyao! Be careful!" Xia Lin cried heartbreakingly, her voice filled with fear and helplessness. However, her cry seemed so powerless and insignificant under the powerful pressure of the Black Demon King.

The ethereal fairy gritted her teeth, formed seals with her delicate hands, and radiated a dazzling white light, attempting to block the Black Demon King's attack with her own protective power. However, the Black Demon King's power was too great, and even with her full strength, she only managed to temporarily halt his movements.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The Black Demon King snorted coldly, and the black magic sword continued to move forward, slashing towards Ren Xiaoyao fiercely.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin closed her eyes in despair, unable to bear to see the bloody scene that followed.

At this critical moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao and blocked the fatal blow from the Black Demon King.

"Ghost Envoy of the Netherworld?!" The Black Demon King saw the newcomer and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by even deeper greed. "Do you want a piece of the action too?"

The Netherworld Ghost Envoy ignored the Black Demon King's provocation. He slowly turned around and looked at Ren Xiaoyao, who was still deeply trapped in the illusion of his inner demons. His voice was low and hoarse: "How long are you going to run away?"

Ren Xiaoyao seemed to hear the voice of the ghost messenger from the underworld. He suddenly raised his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"I... I won't run away anymore!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice echoed in the valley, and his figure gradually became solid, as if trying to break free from the illusion of his inner demon.

The Netherworld Ghost Envoy looked at Ren Xiaoyao, a barely perceptible smile on his face: "Okay, this is the Ren Xiaoyao I know!"

When the Black Demon King saw this, he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart. He was about to attack again, but was blocked by the ghost messenger from the underworld.

"Your opponent is me." The ghost messenger from the underworld said coldly, with a cold ghost aura emanating from his body, which made people shudder.

There was a fierce light in the eyes of the Black Demon King. He roared, raised the black magic sword in his hand, and attacked the Netherworld Ghost Messenger again.

At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao's mind was completely immersed in the inner demon's illusion. He saw what he feared most deeply: that... In the inner demon's illusion, Ren Xiaoyao's figure shuttled through endless darkness. He saw the scenes of being abandoned as a child, the pain of losing his loved ones, and the weakness and helplessness he once had. These deep-seated fears wrapped around him like a nightmare, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Is this my inner demon?" Ren Xiaoyao murmured to himself. It was the first time he faced his inner fear so clearly.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears: "Escape will not solve the problem. Only by defeating fear can you become truly strong."

Ren Xiaoyao suddenly turned around, but found that there was no one behind him, only endless darkness surrounding him.

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Ren Xiaoyao asked vigilantly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

That voice sounded again, as if coming from all directions: "I am you, and I am also the voice deep in your heart."

Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and he seemed to understand something. He closed his eyes and began to recall his experiences along the way. Those things that once frightened him now didn't seem so scary.

"I understand now. Fear isn't scary. What's scary is being dominated by fear." Ren Xiaoyao opened his eyes, his eyes filled with determination. "I will defeat you and my own inner demons!"

However, in the real world, the attack of the Black Demon King was already very close. Although the Nether Ghost Envoy tried his best to resist, he was still unable to completely neutralize the attack of the Black Demon King.

"Ghost Messenger of the Underworld, how long do you think you can protect him?" The Black Demon King laughed wildly, and the black magic sword in his hand exuded a suffocating pressure.

The ghost messenger from the underworld did not say anything, but just stared coldly at the Black Demon King, and the ghost aura around him became even more eerie.

"Brother Xiaoyao, wake up!" Xia Lin's voice was full of anxiety and worry, but her words could not reach Ren Xiaoyao's ears.

The Black Demon King had already raised his sword high, and was about to bring it down when, at that moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Ren Xiaoyao's body. He suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them, and he muttered to himself, "So that's how it is, I..."

The Black Demon King's sword, wielding a devastating aura, threatened to devour Ren Xiaoyao. The Netherworld's ghostly messenger's eyes raged with bloodshot tears, yet powerless to stop it, he could only watch helplessly as this despairing scene unfolded. Xia Lin closed her eyes in despair, tears silently streaming down her face as she prayed for a miracle.

At this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Ren Xiaoyao's body. That golden light was like the breaking light of dawn, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness. He suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining with a brilliant light, as if he had penetrated time and space and saw the origin of the universe.

"So that's how it is, I understand!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice was like a huge bell, echoing between heaven and earth.

The Black Demon King froze in shock at this sudden turn of events, staring at the scene in disbelief. Even the previously calm Netherworld Ghost Envoy revealed a look of shock, sensing the awakening of a powerful and pure force that even filled him with a hint of fear.

Ren Xiaoyao slowly stood up, a golden light swirling around him, like a god descending from heaven. He looked up at the Black Demon King, a scornful smile on his face. "Do you think you can defeat me with fear? You're wrong. Fear will only make me stronger!"

"You...you actually..." The Black Demon King looked at Ren Xiaoyao in horror. He felt an unprecedented threat from Ren Xiaoyao, a shudder coming from the depths of his soul.

"Not only will I defeat you," Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were like torches, his voice filled with irresistible majesty, "I will also protect everything I want to protect!"

Before he finished speaking, Ren Xiaoyao's figure turned into a golden light and disappeared in an instant. Before the Black Demon King could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw that Ren Xiaoyao's palm had pierced his chest. The golden light gathered in his hand, like a dazzling sun.

"No... this is impossible!" The Black Demon King let out an unwilling roar, his voice full of fear and despair.

"Nothing is impossible!" Ren Xiaoyao's voice sounded in his ears, as if the god of death had pronounced his fate.

The golden light shone brightly, instantly engulfing the Black Demon King...

The Netherworld Ghost Envoy and Xia Lin were stunned, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes. Ren Xiaoyao, at the critical moment of life and death, had broken through himself, comprehended the true meaning of inheritance, and defeated the powerful Black Demon King in one fell swoop!

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin cried with joy and ran towards Ren Xiaoyao.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's body was shaking, his face was pale, and a trace of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still tried to stand up straight, because he knew that he could not fall down yet, because he still had the responsibility of protection.

"I'm fine..." Ren Xiaoyao's voice was very soft, but he still tried to force a smile to reassure Xia Lin.

Suddenly, his vision went dark, his body lost its support, and he fell backwards...
