A bright red column of light, as thick as twenty centimeters, surged with a destructive heat as it spanned over ten meters, striking the dark green bladed ring.

Boom——

In an instant, explosive flames swallowed it whole, and shattered debris scattered, falling with the shock wave.

The Tier Two Demon Race vanished without a trace.

"So weak."

The silver-haired girl in a black and red tactical suit blew away at the gun muzzle.

She effortlessly dispatched the oncoming enemy, but her eyes couldn't help but glance toward the gigantic black and red rift in the sky, squinting slightly.

At this moment, the wolf-eared maid wielding a Light Saber and the girl with nine tails also appeared beside Lin Guang, prepared for combat.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the three girls, everyone on the deck froze for a moment, some even instinctively displaying vigilance.

"Demon... Demon Race?!"

But the young man quickly reacted, speaking in surprise and delight, "So Senior Lin has such protective escorts!"

He said, "Indeed, indeed! With the changes in the world, you still maintain such composure; you must be a renowned Great Cultivator, how could you lack protective means!"

His expression... was like someone clutching desperately at a lifeline with blind faith and hope.

The young man's words further confirmed this, calming those around and dispelling further wariness towards the Demon Race.

—It seems they had significant hostility and prejudice against the Demon Race.

Seeing this, Lin Guang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Let's go, take us to see the wounded."

"...Okay! Okay!"

...

Led by the young man, Lin Guang entered the interior of the flying ship.

The decor here was unexpectedly simple, seemingly a temporary modification, with no adornments, just illuminating candle lamps and simple wooden beds, without even bedding, much like a large communal sleeping area.

Several armored figures were standing guard here, aside from a few cultivators too busy to attend to others.

Each was casting spells to treat severely injured cultivators on the beds, applying emergency procedures through various techniques.

Some of the lightly wounded cultivators could still maintain a seated meditation pose with "five hearts facing the sky" to suppress their injuries, but more seemed to have lost consciousness, slipping into a coma.

Evidently, besides fighting off enemies, this flying ship also served as a battlefield hospital.

"Senior Lin, please first save Uncle Wang, he has been penetrated most deeply by evil energy and is on the brink of collapse!"

The young man rushed anxiously to a sickbed, addressing Lin Guang.

This was a middle-aged man in broken armor, with a plain appearance, eyes tightly shut, lips blackened, his expression twisted in pain, with a terrifyingly large wound on his chest and abdomen that had stopped bleeding but still looked horrific.

Judging from the energy circulation system in his body, he was far from reaching the level of the seventh rank's dying Elder Devil; he was likely only at the Foundation Establishment Stage in this world.

Lin Guang quickly approached, his eyes emitting a faint gleam, without hesitation placing his hand on the man's armor.

The evil energy they spoke of was actually demonic qi.

Beyond the external wound, he had many internal issues.

Demonic qi invasion, toxin accumulation, energy disorder, spiritual force (divine thought) dispersal...

Even if the external injuries had been treated, his condition was still worsening.

At this rate, in about two hours, not only would he die, but the energy within him would suddenly erupt into demonic qi right here.

This is the most pernicious aspect of demonic qi, for it corrodes life to transform itself.

The young man tightly watched Lin Guang, surrounded by the three girls, "Do you have a solution?"

—This situation is almost beyond cure by medicine or stone.

If not for this senior's mysterious aura and unmistakably extraordinary demeanor, clearly showing he was a quite formidable Great Cultivator, he wouldn't have brought him here.

Lin Guang said calmly, "Not difficult."

"Really?!"

Demonic qi can be purified by Samadhi True Fire before entering the body, but once inside, it becomes more tricky. After all, you can't burn the body directly with Samadhi True Fire; you must take a circuitous approach. Combined with his chaotic internal condition, mishandling it could easily lead to death.

However, Lin Guang only pondered briefly and had a solution.

Setting aside other matters, one of his three Talent Trees was [Celestial Doctor], and the prior acceptance of [Heaven Refining Array Dao] greatly assisted him.

Therefore, problems that others found insurmountable might not be difficult for him.

While moving, Lin Guang directed his spiritual power into his black storage ring, containing many spiritual materials, almost two or three times the amount from the previous challenge, including Tier Five Spiritual Materials.

Moreover, many of the materials had traits related to "detoxification."

Instantly, the Inheritance Compass projected hundreds of intricate spirit patterns, and even more array blueprints than the previous level, almost filling the entire cabin.

Yet, those around him had no visible response.

In this utterly realistic illusion realm, only at moments like this could they truly sense the difference from reality.

"..."

Lin Guang glanced at the spirit patterns, finding nothing he could use, deciding directly to close the compass rather than waste time identifying.

The Hand of Full Mastery activated.

Under the surprised watch of those present, Lin Guang skillfully dismantled the armor from the cultivator's body.

Lin Guang roughly knew why they were surprised; this armor was Spirit Armor, intricately entangled with the internal mana, making it challenging to remove, otherwise it would have been dismantled earlier when treating external injuries.

Without stopping, Lin Guang retrieved several Tier Two, differently attributed [Spirit Stones] from his ring, and his fingers lightly glowed with a starlit hue.

In a flash, each colored Spirit Stone at his fingertips grew thinner, longer, until they became translucent long needle shapes.

Lin Guang gently raised his hand, and these long needles floated, each embedding into the various acupoints of the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

[True Understanding of Needle Dao] activated.

Only to see array patterns in the same color as the Spirit Stones beginning to spread across the cultivator's body.

With Lin Guang's continuous manipulation of spiritual power, the chaotic forces within Wang's body were quickly sorted out, and the external wounds began to further heal, a steady aura returning to his form.

The long needles of Spirit Stone slowly depleted during this process, within a few minutes, reducing to only one-third.

The young man and nearby cultivators couldn't hide their excitement, yet they dared not make a sound, fearing to disturb his performance.

However, to their surprise.

Lin Guang, while treating, could still divide his attention to speak with them.

He retrieved a piece of vine-like spiritual material from his ring and tossed it to a guardian with mana flowing within, not too far away, "Grind this material for me, as finely as possible."

The guardian hesitated slightly, then immediately caught and did as instructed, releasing a faint white mana that gradually ground it into wood shavings.

"Much appreciated."

Lin Guang continued to maintain the activation of the True Understanding of Needle Dao, and when the long needles were nearly depleted, he suddenly snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a small flicker of Samadhi True Fire ignited at the end of each needle.

Simultaneously, the glowing specks of spiritual material flew back from the guardian's hands and merged into the flames.

Sizzle——

The young man was completely stunned.

In his eyes, on Wang's body, black qi began to seep out, ignited by these flames, and dissipated.

This once gravely injured, dying cultivator, within less than ten minutes by Lin Guang's hand, had completely stabilized.
