Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

Lin Yu and Li Qiang slowly slid down from the mountain wall. Their bodies were like tattered and casually discarded dolls, sliding down the rough and angular mountain wall lifelessly. Every inch of the slide was accompanied by the intense pain of sharp rocks cutting through their skin and flesh. Their bodies collided with the protruding rocks from time to time, making a dull sound. Each collision seemed to be draining their remaining vitality bit by bit, as if it were the merciless countdown of fate. Finally, the two of them fell heavily onto the ground covered with sharp gravel, kicking up a cloud of choking dust. The dust filled the air around them, like a thick haze, as if it were a solemn elegy played for them. This fall seemed to have drained their last bit of strength. The two of them lay on the ground with their limbs spread out, looking extremely miserable. Their bones seemed to be broken apart, and there was a piercing pain in every joint, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing into them simultaneously.

They were severely injured, and their spiritual energy was almost completely exhausted. The source of spiritual energy in their bodies was like a dried-up stream, leaving only a few faint wisps of spiritual energy lingering in their meridians, flowing with great difficulty. Even a simple action like raising their hands had become extremely difficult, as if there were huge boulders weighing a thousand catties tied to their arms. Every twitch of their muscles brought excruciating pain like tearing. Their bodies were extremely weak, like candles in the wind, flickering and on the verge of being extinguished at any moment. Even breathing was accompanied by intense pain. Every gasp seemed to be a struggle to draw in the last bit of vitality, and the air entering their lungs felt like a sharp blade cutting through them.

Lin Yu's clothes were in tatters, hanging on his scarred body in strips and shreds, like a tattered flag fluttering in the wind and on the verge of breaking. His body was covered with numerous wounds of varying depths. In some deep places, his white bones could even be seen. The surrounding flesh was rolled up, and blood flowed uncontrollably. The bright red blood gushed out from the wounds in a stream, winding and converging on the ground to form a glaring pool of blood. The pool of blood spread rapidly on the hot ground, emitting a pungent smell of blood, as if telling the brutality of the battle. His face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color. His chapped lips trembled slightly, as if silently tell of pain. Only his tightly clenched teeth stubbornly showed his unwillingness deep in his heart. Although his eyes were filled with exhaustion and despair, there was still a glimmer of unyielding light shining in them, which was his longing for survival and going home.

Li Qiang, on the other hand, had a weak breath, and his eyes were already glazed over. He collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving weakly, as if a gentle breeze could blow out his last bit of vitality. His lips were colorless and slightly open, trying to inhale more air but always in vain. A faint "hissing" sound came from his throat. His hands hung limply by his side, and his fingers twitched occasionally, indicating that he still had a trace of consciousness left, which was his last response to this brutal battle.

The Fire Demon slowly walked towards them. Every step was extremely heavy, as if a moving hill was pressing down on the ground. Its foot was as big as a millstone. When it stepped on the ground, it made a dull "thumping" sound, making the ground tremble. The surrounding rocks fell rustle, as if playing a mourning song for the impending death. There was a bloodthirsty light shining in its eyes, a cold and cruel light, like a hungry wolf in the cold night, full of endless greed and ferocity, as if declaring that Lin Yu and Li Qiang's death had entered the final countdown. The huge body of the Fire Demon cast a large shadow in front of them. The shadow was like a curtain of death, enveloping them, as if it were going to swallow up their last hope. The air around them seemed to be solidified by this shadow, becoming oppressive and heavy. Every breath carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

Just as the Fire Demon was about to reach them, and its scorching breath rushed towards them like a surging heat wave, carrying billowing smoke and a pungent smell of burning, almost burning out their last bit of vitality, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. He endured the excruciating pain all over his body, which was like thousands of ants gnawing at his bones. This pain was so intense that it almost made him lose consciousness, and the world in front of him became blurred. But he used all his strength and concentrated his last bit of scattered spirit. At this critical moment, he actually saw a flaw in the Fire Demon's body.

The flaw was hidden in the raging flames in the Fire Demon's chest, flickering faintly, just like a faint starlight shining in the dark, as if it were a glimmer of hope that fate had revealed in this desperate situation. This flaw was extremely subtle, as small as the tip of a needle, surrounded by raging flames. The high temperature of the flames constantly roasted the surrounding air, distorting the light. If Lin Yu hadn't focused all his attention on the Fire Demon at the critical moment of life and death, he simply wouldn't have been able to detect it. It was like the tiniest crack in the Fire Demon's armor, but it might be the key to determining the outcome of the battle, the only chance of survival for them in this desperate situation.

His heart stirred, and that glimmer of hope instantly ignited his last bit of fighting spirit. Despite the pain that seemed to tear him apart, he propped himself up with his hands on the ground. His fingernails turned white from the exertion, and some of them even folded back. Blood seeped out from his fingertips and mixed with the dust on the ground to form a dark red stain. He struggled to stand up. His legs trembled violently, his muscles spasmed uncontrollably, and his knees kept shaking, as if they would give way and make him kneel down again at any moment. It was almost impossible for him to support his crumbling body. But with his stubborn and almost obstinate will, he gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to slowly pull out the Primordial Divine Sword from his back.

The Primordial Divine Sword shone with a faint light in his trembling hand. Although the light was faint, it seemed to contain boundless power, as if it were also cheering him on and fighting this desperate situation together with him. The sword body trembled slightly, as if responding to its master's call. The runes on the sword body flickered faintly, as if telling the glory of the past and the expectation of the present. The runes emitted a faint halo, flickering slightly with the rhythm of Lin Yu's breathing, as if condensing the last bit of strength. Every flicker seemed to be injecting a trace of courage into Lin Yu.

The Fire Demon seemed to sense the danger as well. A trace of panic flashed in its originally murderous eyes, and its huge body began to twist, trying to avoid this fatal blow. Its movements were clumsy and slow, and it was extremely difficult for its huge body to turn around. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by its movement, forming strange ripples. Its limbs flailed around in a panic, trying to adjust the angle of its body, but it was already too late. Its fate had been quietly sealed at this moment.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a low growl from between his teeth. This growl was filled with his longing for survival and his persistence in going home. It was the most intense cry from the bottom of his heart, carrying the determination of a last-ditch effort. He gathered all the remaining strength in his body into his arm. The veins on his arm bulged, and his muscles were as tight as steel. Every muscle was straining, and every blood vessel was throbbing, as if it were going to break through the skin. His arm trembled slightly, not because of fear but because of the extreme outburst of strength, which was the condensation of all his beliefs and strength. He waved the Primordial Divine Sword and stabbed towards the flaw of the Fire Demon with all his might. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he were going to inject the power of this sword with all his beliefs and his longing for going home. At this moment, there was only that flaw that determined life and death in his eyes. The whole world seemed to have only this life-and-death duel between him and the Fire Demon. Time stood still for this moment.

The Primordial Divine Sword, with a whistling sound of the wind, accurately stabbed into the flaw of the Fire Demon with irresistible force. The moment the tip of the sword pierced in, a powerful force instantly rushed into the Fire Demon's body. That force was like a surging tide, overwhelming and irresistible. This force carried Lin Yu's anger, his perseverance, and his longing for the future, raging inside the Fire Demon's body. Under the impact of this force, the Fire Demon's body began to show streaks of cracks. The cracks spread rapidly, like a broken spider web, spreading in all directions. Blazing flames gushed out from these cracks, as if the Fire Demon was making its last struggle. The flames, accompanied by billowing smoke, rushed straight into the sky, as if it were a roar of unwillingness towards fate.

The Fire Demon let out a roar of unwillingness. The sound was filled with anger, pain, and disbelief, as if it were questioning this sudden change. The sound echoed in the empty space, making people's eardrums ache. The surrounding air was violently shaken by this roar. The roar was mixed with the sound of rocks cracking, as if the whole world was trembling in this roar. The surrounding mountains seemed to be swaying under the impact of this sound wave.

Then, the Fire Demon's body crashed to the ground with a loud thud. Its huge body hit the ground, making a dull and loud noise. The ground was smashed into a huge pit, and the rocks by the pit were shattered. A thick cloud of dust was kicked up, filling the entire space and making it almost impossible to see. It was as if they were in a chaotic world. A pungent smell of smoke and dust and the smell of burning filled the air, and everything was covered by this thick dust. The surrounding magma rolled and surged due to the vibration of the Fire Demon's fall, setting off high waves of fire. The waves of fire collided with each other, making a "crackling" sound.

Lin Yu and Li Qiang also let out a sigh of relief. Their tense nerves instantly relaxed, like a string that had been stretched to the limit suddenly breaking. They could no longer hold on and collapsed on the ground. A tired but relieved smile appeared on their faces. That smile was full of the joy of surviving the disaster and the joy of victory. They had successfully defeated the Fire Demon, the seemingly invincible giant that had stood in front of them. Finally, it had fallen at their feet. At this moment, all the pain no longer mattered. In their hearts, there was only the joy of victory and the expectation for the future, which was an infinite yearning for going home.

The Spirit Pearl flew out from the Fire Demon's body the moment it fell, emitting a soft and warm light, as if it were drawing a perfect end to this arduous battle. The Spirit Pearl slowly landed in Lin Yu's hand. Lin Yu weakly held the Spirit Pearl and felt its slight warmth. A warm current welled up in his heart. This Spirit Pearl carried their hope and efforts and was a crucial step for them to go home. At this moment, on this battlefield still filled with gunpowder smoke and dust, the light of the Spirit Pearl seemed so precious and beautiful, illuminating their tired but hopeful faces, as if telling them that the road home was one step closer. The warm light was like the call of their hometown, giving them the strength to move forward.
