Chapter 1105 - 368: Speculation

Boom!

A terrifying wave of energy burst from the rift in the node.

This phenomenon is caused by the invasion of a dreadful demon from the Divinity Transformation layer, coming from the Demon Realm on the other side of the node.

In both worlds, whether here or in the Demon Realm, entities of the Divinity Transformation layer or Eight-Striped Demon Fiends are the pinnacle of existence.

Even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul layer, unleashing powerful strength within the space-time node, would invite the oppression and upheaval of the will of both realms.

Let alone such a great entity as Divinity Transformation.

Feeling the familiar terrifying fluctuation, Lin Zheyu and Zong Linjing both abruptly opened their eyes, looking towards the direction of the space-time node.

’Mr. Xiao’s luck is truly terrible!’

Zong Linjing glanced at Lin Zheyu nearby, unable to suppress such thoughts in her heart.

Just a few days before accepting the task of defending the array hub from Je Haomiao, the Demon Realm had invaded once again.

Moreover, this was not the first time the Demon Realm invaded while Mr. Xiao was tasked with defending the array hub.

’However, my luck doesn’t seem to be very good either.’

With self-mockery, Zong Linjing shook her head.

Just like Lin Zheyu, she encountered the Demon Realm’s invasion upon arrival, followed by multiple invasions whenever she and Lin Zheyu were tasked with guarding the array hub.

Their luck is truly unmatched.

"Such great fortune!"

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, looking towards the direction of the space-time node, a smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

He felt utterly lucky, like finding a pillow to rest on when sleepy.

Once invaded by the Demon Realm, the surrounding array restrictions would be activated.

Positioned within the array hub, Lin Zheyu could exploit the Celestial Eye to perceive more of the array’s mysteries.

"Let this time not bring any unexpected accidents, otherwise I’ll have no choice but to run away."

Lin Zheyu furrowed his brow, surrounded by a faint sense of crisis.

Since last time, having detected that indistinct presence atop the city wall, this faint crisis has never disappeared.

Moreover, every time the Demon Realm invades, this sense of crisis intensifies, reaching a point where Lin Zheyu feels uneasy.

Having achieved Lin Zheyu’s level of strength, such mysterious intuition is greatly trusted.

Especially, Lin Zheyu’s perception far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators, with the use of powerful Spirit Celestial Eye Divine Skill.

His intuition is certainly not mistaken.

Lin Zheyu believes a terrifying storm of catastrophic disaster is brewing within the den of demons, though when it will erupt remains unknown.

Screeching!!!

Suddenly, a bird’s cry drew Lin Zheyu’s attention.

Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes, gazing towards the direction of the space-time node, his Celestial Eye within his sea of consciousness reflexively opening.

It was then he witnessed a breathtaking scene.

An unparalleled beauty dressed in fiery red clothes emerged from the darkness, ethereal and elegant in demeanor.

A faintly visible, terrifying shadow of a fiery giant bird appeared around her, emitting a silent cry.

The cry rippled with invisible force, soothing the terrifying energy emanating from the space-time rift.

"It’s her!"

Lin Zheyu was slightly startled, feeling a sense of unease within.

Peering at a Divinity Transformation level powerhouse without caution is not a wise choice.

Ever since his Spirit Celestial Eye evolved, his sight grew sharper, seeing more than ever before.

The fiery bird-like shadow behind the woman revealed her origins.

She hails from one of the four major sects of Great Wei, from the Vermilion Bird Sect in the Vermilion Bird Realm!

Lin Zheyu, his thoughts slightly stirring, intended to divert the Celestial Eye’s gaze.

However...

The woman suddenly turned her head towards Lin Zheyu, a stunning, captivating smile gracing her lips.

The smile radiated warmth, her gaze full of appreciation.

It resembled more of an elder admiring an extraordinary junior.

The smile vanished in an instant, as she stepped into the rift of the node, disappearing from sight.

Phew~~

Lin Zheyu sighed softly.

He sensed no malice from the woman.

As a Divinity Transformation layer powerhouse, if she harbored ill intentions towards him, there would be no need for concealment, even if she intended to slay Lin Zheyu right here.

Even the Martial Alliance’s Alliance Leader, Qin Hu, wouldn’t utter a word of protest.

"No wonder they are from the four top sects of Great Wei, the experts of the Vermilion Bird Sect..." Lin Zheyu sighed, softly murmuring.

If the woman truly bore ill will towards him, Lin Zheyu wouldn’t have much confidence in escaping from her grasp.

Neither would the Primordial Pool suffice.

The Primordial Pool boasts strong defense, lacking the ability for void flight without complete control over this magical treasure.

Even hiding within would merely grant an enhanced defensive shell, until the energy within is depleted, leaving him vulnerable to slaughter.

Roar Roar!!

The demons’ roars recaptured Lin Zheyu’s thoughts.

Resting his palm on the array hub, he began controlling it, slaughtering the invading demons.

Simultaneously.

Lin Zheyu’s spirit tensed to the extreme, vigilant against potential surprises.

Time flows slowly.

Suddenly.

Lin Zheyu furrowed his brow once more, detecting the sensation of hidden surveillance.

"Here it comes again, but compared to last time, its concealment has weakened quite a bit." Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

His form shifted slightly, the golden Celestial Eye gazing towards the source of the surveillance.

Through layers of array restrictions, Lin Zheyu faintly perceived a silhouette of an elder with white hair and beard.

The elder controlled arrays, simultaneously allocating a bit of attention towards Lin Zheyu.
