 **Chapter 2770: Does He Have No Inner Demons?**

The weapons in the hands of the giant figures fell upon the prodigies, but the prodigies remained motionless, taking the blows head-on. The weapons turned into flowing water upon impact, dissipating instantly without causing any harm. The water then silently seeped into the prodigies' bodies, directly entering their souls. The prodigies closed their eyes, their consciousness sinking into their souls, as if entering another world. 

The second round had truly begun, and this round's theme was inner demons, not something easily overcome.

To outsiders, including Lin Moyu, the scene was different. There was no Great Dao, no lake giants. After Xiahou Yuan announced the start of the second round, he merely pressed his palm lightly downward, causing all the prodigies to simultaneously fall into a deep sleep.

The entire venue became eerily silent. Some instinctively wanted to speak but found they couldn't make a sound. Not only could they not speak, but they also couldn't move, forced to watch helplessly.

The prodigies' expressions varied, their bodies sometimes tensing and sometimes relaxing. Powerful auras occasionally surged and then subsided, as if each person was experiencing different scenarios.

The Dao Sovereigns observing from outside the array could see more information. "By my calculations, the first round should be over. No one has been eliminated; their mental states seem decent."

"The first round is the simplest, merely letting them feel some external pressure, not true inner demons."

"Indeed, if they can't pass this round, their mental state must be terrible. Such a Dao heart doesn't qualify as a prodigy."

"The next round is the hard one. Inner demons force each person to face what they least want to confront."

"I'm curious who will last until the end and what these prodigies' deepest fears are."

Lin Moyu also saw the Great Dao descend and the lake giants attacking him, but he immediately recognized it as an illusion and remained unmoved.

He had experienced many illusions; this level of illusion was negligible.

As the lake water invaded his body, his vision blurred, and scenes began to unfold.

It was a battlefield, seemingly in the starry sky, with countless stars twinkling.

Lin Moyu felt this starry sky was somewhat unfamiliar, as if he had never seen it before.

"Is my inner demon a battlefield?"

"This environment feels unfamiliar, not like the starry sky of the Great World."

"An inner demon should be based on my memories. Why is it showing me an unfamiliar place?"

An inner demon was a type of illusion, different from ordinary illusions. If one became trapped in the world of inner demons and couldn't escape, they might be lost in it forever.

Lin Moyu knew that Senior Xiahou wouldn't let such a thing happen; he must have a way to pull people out of the inner demon world.

"Senior Xiahou's Great Dao seems related to the soul. Could it be the Great Dao of the Soul?"

As Lin Moyu observed the inner demon world, he pondered these questions.

If the other prodigies knew he was thinking about such things while facing his inner demons, they would be astounded.

The inner demon world was quiet, seemingly empty.

However, Lin Moyu noticed the starry sky was rapidly approaching, indicating he was moving at an incredible speed.

Comparing this to the starry sky of the Great World, he judged that his speed had surpassed the speed of light.

Yet, there was no distortion of time and space; everything remained calm, which was very strange.

Approaching the speed of light should cause changes in time and space, but nothing seemed to be happening.

Lin Moyu felt something was wrong. He had seen this starry sky before, many years ago when he was still weak, and his spells were called skills.

When he awakened his skills, he had seen this starry sky.

It was in the "Origin Secret Realm," where thousands of invincible powerhouses were killed by an old man in a green robe riding a green ox with a flick of his finger. The old man recited the Dao De Jing, paving a path to immortality with the bodies of these invincible powerhouses.

At that time, Lin Moyu was terrified and left with a deep impression of the old man.

Later, he met the old man several more times, and the once-respected elder became a mischievous old man.

Whenever he thought of it, Lin Moyu couldn't help but curse him in his heart.

Thinking back, there were few things in his cultivation journey that truly frightened him.

This event barely counted as one.

Other than that, he couldn't recall anything else.

"Turns out, I have quite a bit of courage. Truly, ignorance is bliss."

Now, as the inner demon world recreated this unfamiliar starry sky, Lin Moyu found it somewhat amusing.

After all, it wasn't something that happened to him, just scenes he had witnessed.

And those invincible powerhouses, along with the mischievous old man, could the inner demon really recreate them?

Or could Senior Xiahou's Great Dao recreate them?

Lin Moyu couldn't help but speculate. If his guess was correct, there was no point in continuing; it couldn't be recreated.

Lin Moyu did nothing, just watched quietly, as he had done back then, observing the spectacle.

The process reached the moment when the invincible powerhouses appeared, and the inner demon began to recreate these beings based on Lin Moyu's memories.

One by one, the invincible powerhouses appeared, their forms becoming clearer from the initial blur.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The invincible powerhouses exploded one by one, failing to be recreated by the inner demon. They were beyond the inner demon's ability to recreate.

Lin Moyu recalled that each invincible powerhouse had a Great Dao under their feet.

In terms of realm, each of these invincible powerhouses should have surpassed the ninth realm of Dao Sovereign, far beyond the inner demon's capabilities.

As for the mischievous old man, it was even more impossible to recreate him.

The invincible powerhouses exploded before fully forming, causing the inner demon world to collapse.

Lin Moyu didn't move throughout, just watching a show.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the other prodigies, each with their eyes closed, their auras surging, and their brows sometimes relaxed, sometimes furrowed, as they battled their inner demons.

Feeling bored, Lin Moyu looked around, appearing somewhat restless.

His movements caught the attention of many.

But no one could speak, only watch and speculate in their hearts.

"Why is he awake?"

"Isn't he supposed to face his inner demons? Why isn't he?"

"Did he break through the inner demon's barrier?"

"Could it be that he has no inner demons?"

"Impossible!"

"Indeed, it seems unlikely. He must have used some method to break through the inner demon."

"Could his Dao heart be so strong that even inner demons can't invade?"

The Dao Sovereigns in the sky were buzzing with discussions, each with their own opinions.

Finally, Xiahou Yuan couldn't hold back and shouted, "Silence!"
