I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 179 The demonic barrier is gradually broken, and the dawn is coming

A gentle breeze blew, stirring up fallen leaves. The forest in the illusion seemed to come alive. Lei Yi's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a familiar green figure looming in the wind.

"Qingfeng boy!" Lei Yi almost blurted out, with a hint of disbelief and surprise in his tone.

Qingfeng Tongzi, a spirit born in this valley, possesses the ability to control the forces of nature. Previously, when Lei Yi was cultivating in the valley, he had received his guidance and help many times.

Qingfeng Boy waved his hand gently, and the old hunter's movements slowed. He turned, his clear green eyes fixed on Lei Yi, his tone tinged with worry, "The demon in your heart is growing deeper and deeper. If this continues, you will be completely consumed by it."

Lei Yi took a deep breath, suppressing the grief and anger in his heart. He looked at Qingfeng Tongzi as if he had grasped the last straw. "Can you help me? Can you help me save Liuli?"

Qingfeng Tongzi shook his head: "I can't directly interfere with your inner demon test, but I can give you a chance."

Hearing this, Lei Yi's eyes lit up with hope again: "What opportunity?"

Qingfeng Tongzi pointed behind Lei Yi and said, "Do you see that tree? It's the oldest tree in this forest. It has witnessed the rise and fall of countless lives and contains a powerful life force. If you can gain its recognition, you will gain the power to overcome your inner demons."

Lei Yi looked in the direction pointed by Qingfeng Tongzi, and saw a towering tree rising from the ground not far away, with lush branches and leaves, as if connecting heaven and earth.

"But, old hunter..." Lei Yi hesitated. The old hunter's strength was unfathomable, and he was worried that he would not be able to get rid of his entanglement.

Qingfeng Tongzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will help you hold him back. Remember, you only have this one chance, so make sure you seize it!"

After saying this, Qingfeng Tongzi's figure flashed, transformed into a green light, and rushed towards the old hunter. The old hunter seemed very surprised by Qingfeng Tongzi's appearance. He roared, brandished his magic sword, and engaged in a fight with Qingfeng Tongzi.

Lei Yi knew this was his only chance. He took a deep breath and walked towards the ancient giant tree with a determined look.

"boom--"

At this moment, a huge roar exploded in Lei Yi's ears, making him dizzy...

Amidst the tremendous roar, Lei Yi's vision went dark, and he nearly fell to the ground. He shook his head, trying to steady himself, and then realized that the roar came from the incarnation of the inner demon. He saw him clenching his fists and pounding his chest, letting out a deafening roar, like an enraged beast.

"Damn little bug, how dare you ruin my good thing!" The incarnation of the inner demon glared at Qingfeng Tongzi with a murderous look in his eyes.

Qingfeng Tongzi appeared remarkably calm in the face of the inner demon's wrath. He effortlessly dodged an attack from the inner demon's incarnation and said calmly, "I'm just helping him, and you too."

"Help me? Ridiculous!" The inner demon incarnation laughed wildly. "If he defeats the inner demon, you and I will both disappear. How can this be considered help?"

"There is no construction without destruction. If he cannot defeat his inner demons, he will be trapped here forever. How can you get true freedom?" Qingfeng Tongzi was unmoved and his tone remained calm.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The incarnation of the inner demon roared and attacked Qingfeng Tongzi again.

Lei Yi's head was splitting with pain from the deafening roar. He covered his ears, straining to hear Qingfeng Tongzi's words, but it was no use. The inner demon incarnation seemed to see through his intentions, its attacks increasing in frequency and noise, as if to drown him completely.

"Calm down..."

Lei Yi vaguely heard the voice of Qingfeng Tongzi, but it was as if separated by a thick wall and was unclear.

“Find your truest inner voice…”

The voice of Qingfeng Tongzi was heard again, but was drowned out by the chaos.

Lei Yi tried to concentrate, trying to catch that faint sound, but it became increasingly difficult. He began to hallucinate, and his ears were filled with all kinds of sounds, making it difficult for him to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

At this moment, a gentle voice penetrated the chaos and reached Lei Yi's ears: "Lei Yi, give up... Don't be so persistent..."

Lei Yi suddenly looked up and saw Dongfang Liuli appear in front of him. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at him pitifully, reaching out her hand to touch his face...

Lei Yi's heart trembled violently. Dongfang Liuli's tears were like sharp blades, piercing his heart fiercely. He wanted to rush over and hug her, telling her that he was fine and not to worry. However, he couldn't move. He was trapped in the same place and could only watch her cry.

"Give up, Lei Yi..." Dongfang Liuli's voice was filled with sadness and despair, "It's impossible for us... You clearly know..."

Lei Yi closed his eyes in pain. He knew that this was a trick of his inner demon. Dongfang Liuli was not here at all. This was just an illusion created by his inner demon using his feelings for Dongfang Liuli to disturb his mind.

"No! I don't believe it!" Lei Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of determination, "Liuli, wait for me, I will definitely defeat my inner demons and come back to you!"

Seeing that Dongfang Liuli's illusion had no effect and only made Lei Yi more determined, the inner demon incarnation could not help but become furious. He increased the intensity of his attack, and the deafening roar almost shattered Lei Yi's eardrums.

"It's useless, you can't escape!" The voice of the inner demon incarnation was like a demon from hell, full of temptation and threats, "As long as you give up resistance, I can give you everything you want, including Dongfang Liuli!"

Lei Yi ignored them, trying to block out external distractions and focus all his attention on his inner self. He remembered Qingfeng Tongzi's words: to find the truest voice in his heart.

However, his heart was now swirling like a raging sea, a myriad of voices mingling together, making it impossible for him to distinguish them. There was fear, anger, resentment, despair... These negative emotions, like maggots on the tarsal bones, tightly coiled around his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

At this moment, a faint voice came from the chaos: "Don't give up... hold on..."

The voice was very soft and faint, but it was like a bright light in the dark night, illuminating Lei Yi's heart.

who is it?

Lei Yi tried hard to catch the voice, but found that it was erratic, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

"Hold on... Don't give up..."

The voice sounded again, and this time, Lei Yi heard it clearly. It was his own voice, a voice coming from deep within his heart.

"Yes, I must hold on, I can't give up!" The light of hope rekindled in Lei Yi's eyes. He took a deep breath and began to try to control his emotions, letting his heart gradually calm down.

The inner demon incarnation noticed Lei Yi's change and was immediately horrified. He attacked Lei Yi frantically, trying to stop him, but this time, Lei Yi was no longer affected by his attack.

Lei Yi sat cross-legged, his hands forming seals. A faint golden light emanated from his body, enveloping him. He seemed to have entered a mysterious state, where everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him. He could only feel the tranquility and determination deep within his heart.

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the Inner Demon's eyes flashed with a sinister look. He suddenly stopped attacking, transformed into a stream of black smoke, and drilled into Lei Yi's body...

Golden light formed a barrier around Lei Yi. The inner demon transformed into black smoke and repeatedly attacked the golden light, but could never break through. He roared angrily, his voice filled with resentment and despair.

"Damn it! It was almost there! It was almost there!"

Lei Yi was oblivious to the outside world at this moment. He was lost in his own inner world, struggling to control his surging emotions. He felt like he was standing on a raging sea, a small boat threatened to capsize at any moment. But he gripped the oars tightly, his gaze determined, and despite the wind and waves, he never gave up.

The golden light within him grew stronger and stronger, and his negative emotions were gradually suppressed, replaced by an unprecedented calmness and clarity. He knew that he was approaching the brink of success.

However, how could the inner demon incarnate give up so easily? His eyes rolled, and a plan came to mind. He transformed into a human form, handsome and extraordinary, but with a hint of evil between his eyebrows.

He stood outside the golden light, looking at Lei Yi, a cruel smile on his lips.

"Lei Yi, do you really think you can defeat your inner demons?" His voice was like a bewitching spell, tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "Look at yourself now, hiding in your shell like a tortoise. Do you still have the courage to face the outside world?"

Lei Yi ignored him. The inner demon's words had no effect on him. He knew that this was the inner demon's final struggle. As long as he held on, victory would be his.

Seeing that his verbal attacks were ineffective, the Inner Demon Incarnation changed his strategy again. He transformed into a figure with a graceful figure and a peerless beauty, which was exactly the appearance of Dongfang Liuli.

"Lei Yi..." The transformed Dongfang Liuli had tears in her eyes and spoke in a mournful voice, "Why did you abandon me? Do you know how much I've waited for you..."

Lei Yi closed his eyes in pain. He knew this was a trick of his inner demons. Dongfang Liuli wasn't even here... But her tears, her voice, were so real, so heartbreaking...

He forced himself to calm down. He knew that now was not the time to be sentimental. He had more important things to do... His gaze gradually became firm, and the determined look of Dongfang Liuli appeared in his mind... He wanted to become stronger!
