I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 227: Trapped in the Demonic Realm, a Powerful Enemy Approaches

"Brother Xiaoyao! Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin's heart-wrenching cries echoed outside the inheritance test space, but they could not penetrate the invisible barrier and reach Ren Xiaoyao's ears. She could only watch helplessly as Ren Xiaoyao was swallowed by the darkness, her heart filled with powerlessness and despair.

Ren Xiaoyao was completely immersed in the illusion conjured by his inner demons, unable to extricate himself. He seemed to be transported back to his childhood, witnessing his parents murdered by their enemies. Blood stained the ground, his parents' agonized cries echoed in his ears, and the flames of hatred burned fiercely in his heart.

"I want revenge! I will kill you beasts!" The young Ren Xiaoyao roared and rushed towards his enemy waving his tender fists, but was kicked away and fell heavily to the ground.

"You think you can take revenge? You really overestimate yourself!" The enemy's ferocious face and cold words deeply hurt Ren Xiaoyao's heart.

"No, I must become stronger! I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!" Ren Xiaoyao struggled to get up, his eyes filled with flames of hatred.

The scene shifts, and Ren Xiaoyao returns to the real world. The business he worked so hard to build is maliciously framed by a competitor and destroyed overnight. Betrayed by his friends and abandoned by his lover, he once again tastes the bitter fruit of failure.

"Why? Why do you treat me like this?" Ren Xiaoyao screamed in pain, but no one responded.

"Because you are too weak! The weak deserve to be trampled upon!" A cold voice sounded in his ears, full of ridicule and disdain.

"I'm not a weakling! I will never give up!" Ren Xiaoyao tried desperately to prove himself, but fell into the quagmire of reality again and again.

Fear, despair, anger, hatred... all kinds of negative emotions coiled around Ren Xiaoyao's heart like venomous snakes, dragging him into an endless abyss. His consciousness gradually blurred, and the world before him became distorted.

"Brother Xiaoyao, hold on! You must defeat your inner demons!" Outside the inheritance test space, Xia Lin's voice had become hoarse and tears blurred her eyes.

However, Ren Xiaoyao could no longer hear her cries. He had been completely controlled by his inner demons and turned into a walking corpse...

In the distance, the Black Demon King, hidden in the darkness, watched all this coldly, a cruel smile playing on his lips. He slowly raised his right hand, a ball of black demonic energy condensing in his palm, emitting a heart-pounding aura...

The Black Demon King's cold gaze, like a venomous snake, greedily watched Ren Xiaoyao, who was trapped by his inner demons. Thick black mist swirled around him, and he was like a demon from hell, gradually approaching his prey.

"Hehehe..." The Black Demon King let out a creepy sneer, "Ren Xiaoyao, you have come to this day! Devoured by the inner demon, your power, your inheritance, will all become mine!" He seemed to have seen the scene of Ren Xiaoyao being stepped on by him and begging for mercy, and his heart was filled with perverted pleasure.

Outside the inheritance test space, Fairy Kong Ling was terrified. A shimmering white light emanated from her body as she attempted to break through the invisible barrier, only to be repelled again and again. "Damn it! The power of this test space is too strong! I can't directly intervene!" Fairy Kong Ling bit her lip, feeling overwhelmed with powerlessness. She couldn't stand by and watch Ren Xiaoyao fall to the Black Demon King's mercy. She had to find a way to save him!

At that moment, the Black Demon King was less than ten steps in front of Ren Xiaoyao. He slowly raised his right hand, a dark demonic aura condensing in his palm, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression. "It's over, Ren Xiaoyao!" The Black Demon King grinned, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Ren Xiaoyao.

"Stop!" Seeing this, the ethereal fairy rushed towards the Black Demon King desperately, trying to stop his atrocities.

"Get out of here! You obstructing bitch!" the Black Demon King roared, slapping the Ethereal Fairy with his backhand. Although the Ethereal Fairy was powerful, she was unable to withstand the Black Demon King's full-strength attack in such a hurry. She was knocked back several steps, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

“Hahaha, you’re overestimating yourself!” The Black Demon King laughed wildly and approached Ren Xiaoyao again, a cruel light flashing in his eyes. “Prepare to die!”

At this critical moment, Xia Lin, who had remained silent until then, suddenly moved. Her eyes were red as she rushed in front of Ren Xiaoyao, arms outstretched, and used her body to block the Black Demon King's attack...

"Charlene!" The ethereal fairy exclaimed, but it was too late to stop it.

The Black Demon King hadn't expected someone like Cheng Yaojin to suddenly appear. After seeing the person clearly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. "Oh, a little girl who's still wet behind the ears dares to stop me? Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

The Black Demon King's claws, carrying a terrifying pressure, fiercely slammed into Xia Lin's fragile body. However, the expected blood and flesh did not fly. Xia Lin's figure shattered like foam and dissipated into the air.

"Illusion?!" The Black Demon King was startled, realizing he'd only attacked an illusion. The real Xia Lin had appeared a few steps away, tears streaming down her face as she stared at him, her eyes filled with determination and resolve.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs?!" The Black Demon King was furious, and his voice was as cold as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Xia Lin ignored his questioning and stared at him intently, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust and hatred. She knew she was weak and no match for the Black Demon King, but she would never back down, let alone watch Ren Xiaoyao get hurt in front of him.

Meanwhile, Ren Xiaoyao, still unaware of his inner struggles, wandered through a desolate desert, his past recurring: the laughter of childhood, the high spirits of youth, the confusion and struggles of his time travel... These memories tumbled through his mind like fragments, causing him unbearable pain.

"Why? Why did I come to this world? Why do I have to endure all this pain?!" Ren Xiaoyao held his head and roared in pain, his heart full of confusion and despair.

He wanted to escape, wanted to get rid of it all, but found himself trapped in an invisible cage and could not escape no matter how hard he struggled.

At that moment, Ren Xiaoyao felt a chilling murderous intent coming from behind him, causing him to shudder. He slowly turned around and saw a tall figure standing behind him, shrouded in black mist. His face was unclear, and only a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen, like a demon from the abyss, emitting a chilling cold light.

"Who are you?" Ren Xiaoyao's heart was filled with alarm and he instinctively sensed danger.

The figure in the black fog did not answer, but slowly raised the black sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Ren Xiaoyao's chest. His voice was like ice chips, without a trace of emotion: "Go to hell..."

The black sword ripped through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The aura of death enveloped Ren Xiaoyao. In despair, Ren Xiaoyao instinctively wanted to resist, but found that he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. The erosion of the inner demon had exhausted him.

At this critical moment, a golden light flashed, and a majestic voice echoed in the desolate desert: "Heisha, stop! How dare you violate the rules of inheritance and be so cruel to your fellow disciples?!"

The Black Demon King's movements abruptly stopped in mid-air. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned in the direction of the sound. He saw an old man in a golden robe appear out of thin air. His hair and beard were white, but his face was as rosy as a baby's. His eyes were piercing, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"Nine…Nine Suns True Lord?!" The Black Demon King's voice was filled with barely concealed fear. Nine Suns True Lord was the previous inheritor of the Light, his power was unfathomable, and even he didn't dare to provoke him lightly.

True Lord Jiuyang snorted coldly, his eyes sweeping across the Black Demon King like lightning, finally landing on Ren Xiaoyao. He could tell at a glance that Ren Xiaoyao was suffering from the torment of his inner demons, and thought to himself, "Not good."

"Heisha, as the inheritor of darkness, you don't practice well, but dare to take advantage of the situation and kill the inheritor of light. Your crime is simply unforgivable!" True Lord Jiuyang scolded angrily, his tone full of majesty and anger.

The Black Demon King's expression shifted from gloomy to bright. He knew he was in the wrong, but he was unwilling to give up. He suppressed his rage and gritted his teeth, saying, "Old Jiuyang, don't go too far! This kid killed my disciple and stole my treasure. I'm only killing him to enforce justice!"

"Hmph! I have my own judgment on right and wrong. How can I allow you to quibble here?!" True Lord Jiuyang snorted coldly, and a powerful pressure emanated from him, making it almost impossible for the Black Demon King to breathe.

"You..." The Black Demon King was terrified. He knew that he was no match for True Lord Jiuyang. If he really angered him, he might not be able to get out of this state of inner demons today.

"Why don't you get out of here now?!" True Lord Jiuyang shouted angrily, his voice exploding like thunder in the ears of the Black Demon King.

The Black Demon King's expression changed again and again, but he finally gave in. He glared at Ren Xiaoyao fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "Boy, you're lucky! The next time I see you, I'll tear you into pieces!"

After saying that, the Black Demon King flashed and turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

True Lord Jiuyang ignored the threat from the Black Demon King. He turned around and his eyes fell on Ren Xiaoyao. He frowned slightly and said slowly, "Child, you..."
