Chapter 1070 - 356: The Mutation of the Lifebound Witch Pattern

Woooo~~

Roar!

In the dark space, a dozen or so demons were roaring, suddenly escaping from the depths of the demon cave.

A terrifying aura erupted from their bodies.

In front of the demon horde was a massive phantom, exuding a fearsome aura like that of a god or demon.

Sun Zhenzhi hovered in the void.

His figure was positioned at the heart of the terrifying phantom, his expression calm yet brimming with intense killing intent.

Below, over a hundred powerful soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army formed a military formation, linking their qi with Sun Zhenzhi’s.

With the support of the military formation, Sun Zhenzhi’s power surged crazily, breaking through the bottleneck of the Foundation Establishment Stage, reaching the Peak of Early Golden Elixir Stage.

"Go!"

Sun Zhenzhi shouted softly, and eighteen emerald green longswords flew out swiftly.

The swords traced a green ghostly light in the dark void, transforming into eighteen sword lights, swiftly charging into the demon horde.

Splatter splatter—

The roars of the demons came one after another, transforming into chunks of hideous flesh and falling to the ground.

In a moment.

A small team of demons that had escaped from some unknown space-time node deep within the demon cave became the souls slain by Sun Zhenzhi’s swords.

Sun Zhenzhi’s momentum withdrew, and the massive phantom of the military formation vanished. His form shifted slightly as he landed within the protection of the Demon Suppression Army.

"Damn it!"

"I need to find a way to leave here; the demon riots in the cave are becoming more frequent, and the demons appearing are getting increasingly powerful."

Sun Zhenzhi frowned slightly, a trace of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

Ever since the last time a powerful demon at the Divinity Transformation Stage escaped from the depths of the cave, small batches of demon hordes had occasionally appeared.

"The cave’s danger level is rising; I must find a way to get transferred from here," Sun Zhenzhi said, frowning.

He had been guarding the demon cave for over ten years.

Calculating the time left, less than five years remained until the twentieth year. Going back to ask his cousin, who is the Empress Dowager, for a transfer shouldn’t be a problem.

"It’s just a pity for this space-time node leading to a region in the Demon Realm."

"Inside, there could very well be relics or a secret realm; after leaving here, that Xiao Yu from the Martial Alliance broke through to the Shackled Realm."

"Xiao Yu, ah, Xiao Yu, that kid definitely has a secret!"

Sun Zhenzhi murmured softly.

Back then, after Lin Zheyu left, he specifically sent people to inquire about Lin Zheyu.

Upon learning that the deaths of the Wu family’s geniuses, Wu Yiyi and Wu Yixuan, were closely tied to Xiao Yu from the Martial Alliance,

Sun Zhenzhi became increasingly convinced that Xiao Yu might indeed have gained significant advantages in the Demon Realm across the space-time node.

"Damn ant, if only you’d handed over the secret as I demanded, obediently handed it over, it would have saved me the trouble of taking action myself."

"You damn fool, making me waste my efforts and personally intervene."

"Without the Demon Suppression Army, facing martial artists at the Shackled Realm, I truly wouldn’t be his match—a bit of a hassle..."

"Should I ask my cousin for help?"

Sun Zhenzhi pondered aloud.

While leading the Demon Suppression Army on a patrol along the predetermined route, he was contemplating on how to leave here and the potential secret held by Xiao Yu.

Over two years,

He had repeatedly crossed the space-time node into the Demon Realm opposite, even sending many subordinates to search for treasures.

Yet nothing came of it.

The cultivators who used the node to enter the Demon Realm that Sun Zhenzhi encountered were also questioned.

But those cultivators hadn’t found any so-called secret realms or relics either.

Wooooo~~~

The fierce wind howled, and the demon’s roars came one after another.

Lin Zheyu hid in the void, trailing the Demon Suppression Army led by Sun Zhenzhi from a distance, with the Sky-Splitting Blade ready in hand.

"Too close."

"This guy is overly cautious, only moving within two kilometers of the Demon Suppression Army."

Lin Zheyu frowned slightly, somewhat speechless at Sun Zhenzhi’s cautiousness.

If he acted rashly within two kilometers of the Demon Suppression Army’s main base, it would surely attract that strong figure within the Demon Suppression Army.

Moreover,

In the field of the golden Celestial Eye, Lin Zheyu could see the implicit connection between the squad led by Sun Zhenzhi and the troops stationed at the main base.

If he dared to make a move, he feared he’d be discovered the instant he acted.

Time slowly passed.

Lin Zheyu silently followed behind the Demon Suppression Army led by Sun Zhenzhi, eyes slightly narrowed, observing the distance and the strength of the connection between the squad and the main base.

"Ten kilometers..."

"The ten-kilometer range is the limit; as long as Sun Zhenzhi is lured ten kilometers away from the Demon Suppression Army’s main base, there will be no problem."

Lin Zheyu’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Soon, a plan formed in his mind.

Flipping his right hand, the life essence of the demon cultivators and powerful demons he had previously slain appeared in his hand.

With his mouth agape, five pieces of life essence, containing astonishing demon energy, flew into Lin Zheyu’s mouth.

Instantly,

Vast energy exploded within him, the Martial Arts Divine Pattern in his body rapidly polluted and decomposed by the demonic energy,

transforming into Demon Demonic Patterns.

However,

Just as Lin Zheyu began to transform into a demon, the Lifebound Witch Pattern condensed within him suddenly changed.

The Lifebound Witch Pattern seemed to sense danger, crazily devouring Lin Zheyu’s life essence, then emitted an earthy yellow energy glow.

"Oh?"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but murmur as he noticed the change in the Lifebound Witch Pattern.

This was the first time he witnessed such a change since acquiring the Lifebound Witch Pattern while transforming into a demon.
