Chapter 1072: Chapter 356: Lifebound Witch Pattern Mutation (3)

Rumble!

The moment Sun Zhenzhi died, from the direction of the Demon Suppression Army’s base, a terrifying aura of slaughter soared into the sky.

A streak of blood-colored blade light suddenly slashed out from the direction of the base, aiming straight at Lin Zheyu.

“So fast!”

Lin Zheyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

However, before he could rush two kilometers away, the blade light flashed and appeared behind him.

Clang!

A terrifying sound of metal clashing could be heard.

At the moment the blood-colored blade light was about to strike Lin Zheyu, the Primordial Pool emerged behind him, blocking this deadly blow.

Bang!

Ugh—

The Primordial Pool was struck by the blood-colored blade light and smashed into Lin Zheyu, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Without daring to delay even a second, he continued to flee deeper into the demon cave without looking back.

“Huh!”

“Survived?!”

A crisp voice came from around the base of the Demon Suppression Army.

A pair of deep, distant beautiful eyes opened, looking in the direction Lin Zheyu had left, a trace of doubt flickering in them.

“Strange, was that a demon just now?”

“Since when did demons become so cunning?”

The woman wondered.

If she didn’t need to guard this time-space node, she would have wanted to capture him and study him carefully.

The thought flashed by, passing in an instant.

The woman gripped the blood-red long saber in her hand tightly, intending to slash once more in the direction of Lin Zheyu.

But suddenly, the woman’s action involuntarily paused.

“Hmph!”

The woman snorted coldly, retracting her gaze, and looked solemnly at the time-space node she was guarding.

On the other side of the time-space node, disturbances came again, as demons on the other side attempted another attack on the node.

Aiming to invade this world from here.

“Seal!”

The woman uttered in a low voice.

Her right foot stepped forward, and blood-colored light instantly radiated around, the light coalescing into mysterious runes, merging into the array underground.

…

Ugh—

In the dark void, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, in the state of a demon, his life force was even stronger than that of a human body; such minor injuries weren’t too serious.

“Even from such a distance, with most of the energy blocked by the Primordial Pool, it managed to heavily injure me.”

“The strength of the powerhouse guarding the Demon Suppression Army’s base is truly terrifying!”

Lin Zheyu thought with lingering fear.

It’s fortunate that he was cautious and didn’t make a move near the base, buying himself some time to buffer.

“Just now, it seemed that the Demon Realm on the other side of the time-space node underwent a mutation, affecting that powerhouse’s strength.”

“Otherwise, it definitely wouldn’t have been just one slash.”

Lin Zheyu mused internally.

During his escape, he also perceived the incredibly dense aura of the Demon Realm emanating from the time-space node guarded by the Demon Suppression Army.

It had been more than two years since he entered this time-space node.

It seems that in these two-plus years, this time-space node has become completely stabilized, and the Demon Realm from the other side has begun to invade.

Phew~~

After fleeing over a hundred kilometers, Lin Zheyu finally stopped and let out a long breath.

With a slight thought, he summoned the array disc he purchased before, into his hand.

Whizz, whizz, whizz—

Dozens of array flags shot from the disc, planting into the ground, centering around the Array Disc to set up a Concealing Array.

Bang!

Immediately, the Primordial Pool flew out, landing on the ground with a slight sound.

With another thought, Lin Zheyu’s figure vanished from the spot, entering the void within the Primordial Pool.

“Earlier wasn’t the right time, now I can finally see if, during the transformation from demon form back to human, there will be any changes to the Lifebound Witch Pattern in my body.”

Lin Zheyu’s eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation.

The golden Celestial Eye in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly opened, and the majestic Essence, Qi, and Spirit Energy from the three Divine Treasures surged out.

Thump, thump, thump—

The retained human heart started to beat powerfully.

Nourished by the immense Essence, Qi, and Spirit Energy, a dense network of blood vessels extended from the heart as its center.

Following that was flesh, tendons, membrane, and bones.

Time slowly passed.

It’s unclear how much time went by, but Lin Zheyu restored his human form, though the Lifebound Witch Pattern and Martial Arts Divine Pattern within him were still unrecovered.

“Can’t condense the Lifebound Witch Pattern?”

“No way?”

Suddenly, Lin Zheyu’s eyes snapped open.

No matter how hard he tried, Lin Zheyu found he couldn’t reform the Lifebound Witch Pattern.

“Is it lacking Chaotic Primordial Energy?”

Lin Zheyu pondered and guessed.

With another thought, Chaos Energy stored within the Primordial Pool swiftly poured out, flooding into Lin Zheyu’s body.

“Thankfully, it was just missing Chaos Elemental Power, which is why I couldn’t condense it.”

Lin Zheyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Currently, the Lifebound Witch Pattern was his only means to glimpse into the Witch Tao.

If the Lifebound Witch Pattern disappeared, then the Chaos True Skill requiring the Lifebound Witch Pattern for cultivation could not continue.

After confirming there was no issue with the Lifebound Witch Pattern, Lin Zheyu felt reassured.

In the process of reforming the Lifebound Witch Pattern, the golden Celestial Eye in his Sea of Consciousness opened and closely observed the changes in the Witch Pattern.

This process provided tremendous assistance to Lin Zheyu in comprehending the essence of the Lifebound Witch Pattern.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Zheyu’s eyes grew increasingly bright
