Chapter 1125 - 374: the Xu Family (2)

Lin Zheyu looked at the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend not far away and smiled with a nod.

His figure swayed slightly as the Qi Blood Energy within him surged powerfully, holding the Sky-Splitting Blade as he darted toward the demon fiend.

Roar!

The Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend suddenly opened its lantern-like eyes, abruptly sensing an overwhelming sense of crisis.

Swoosh!

The intense sense of crisis made the Purple Fire Qilin shudder uncontrollably, and a hint of fear flashed in its eyes filled with brutal slaughter.

Although it couldn’t perceive Lin Zheyu’s presence, it instinctively made the choice to flee.

The energy within it erupted overwhelmingly, charging towards the depths of the magma.

Shing—

At the moment the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend leaped, the icy cold blade light pierced through the fiery magma, slashing into the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s brow, splitting it in two.

Roar!

As Lin Zheyu unleashed his Qi Blood Energy, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the depths of the magma.

"Go!"

Lin Zheyu sensed this aura in an instant, collected the body of the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend, suppressed it in the Primordial Pool, and his form vanished in an instant.

This is the deepest part of the Demon Cave, where many demons of terrifying strength exist.

If he were to engage in battle here with other demons and get entangled, leaving would become troublesome.

A single mistake could even lead to his downfall here.

This is why it is called the forbidden land of the Bloody Trial Ground.

"The strength of the demon state is still too weak, otherwise I could use the demon body to hunt demons without worrying about attracting other powerful demons."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

His demon state still has some gaps compared to actual demons, similar to weaker demon cannon fodder.

After all, Lin Zheyu isn’t a real demon; the demonic patterns in his body aren’t fully structured, with numerous issues.

He has the form of a demon but cannot unleash its true strength.

Moreover,

in the demon state, Lin Zheyu cannot use the Seven Extremes Blade, lacking the most powerful attack techniques.

Only relying on demon techniques, it’s impossible to slay a Six-Striped Demon Fiend quickly.

Otherwise, he would have already used demon transformation to enter demon state and wouldn’t have to worry about other demon powerhouses.

Swoosh~~

Shortly after Lin Zheyu left, a fluctuation of energy emerged from the fiery magma.

A terrifying aura emanating from a Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend suddenly appeared at Lin Zheyu’s previous position.

"The aura has disappeared, such amazing concealing techniques!"

The Seven-Striped Purple Fire Qilin remarked in astonishment.

The Purple Fire Qilin clan, naturally living amidst the magma, experiences significantly heightened power, perception, and other aspects here.

Yet,

even under such conditions, it couldn’t sense the presence of the enemy.

Not even trace of that member of the Human Race could be found.

"Strange..."

The Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend whispered softly, using short-distance instant teleportation repeatedly, searching everywhere for that member of the Human Race.

However,

no matter how much it searched, it couldn’t find any trace of Lin Zheyu.

As if the opponent vanished into thin air, truly eerily uncanny.

"The strength is still somewhat too weak. If I could capture this Seven-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend for research, the effect would surely be much better."

Lin Zheyu said with some regret, looking at the vanished Seven-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend.

At this moment,

he was blending among a group of weaker Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends, using the Heavenly Deceit Skill and demonic aura to conceal his own aura.

As long as the aura of Qi Blood Energy of living beings isn’t exposed, even if the Eight-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend came, without careful searching, it might not be able to find him.

Once the Seven-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend left, Lin Zheyu again roamed within the magma.

Soon, he collected a sufficient number of Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends below Six Stripes.

Then he began the collection of Six-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends.

Roar!

...

Boom!

...

Roar!

In the following days.

The powerful aura of Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends occasionally emanated from the magma, and those Seven-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiends, upon sensing the aura of living beings, immediately set out to search.

However,

no matter how much they searched, they couldn’t find the enemy’s aura.

Whoosh—

Days later.

A humanoid creature over three meters tall, covered with scale armor, shot out from the scorching magma.

Lin Zheyu’s figure swayed slightly as he darted towards the distance.

The Seven-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend, he couldn’t provoke for now, but below Seven-Stripes, Lin Zheyu had already collected a sufficient amount.

"It’s time to leave."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

His Spiritual Sense moved slightly, perceiving the void within the Primordial Pool.

Inside, densely packed demons were suppressed, enough for Lin Zheyu to strive for enlightenment for quite a while.

However, before leaving, more Demon Lake Energy needs to be stored.

The energy stored before has mostly been consumed by Lin Zheyu, and what remains is unusable.

"Forget it, first head towards the East Sea. There are quite a few space-time nodes there as well."

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, gently shaking his head to dismiss the previous thought.

In upcoming endeavors of Enlightenment on demonic patterns and witchcraft patterns, it is likely that considerable time will be required.

During this time, storing Demon Lake Energy in the Primordial Pool would consume Chaos Elemental Power significantly.

It’s incredibly wasteful.

Chaos Elemental Power is much more precious than Demon Lake Energy, with every bit being valuable, used sparingly, once exhausted, it’s gone.

His right foot took a step forward, and Lin Zheyu’s figure disappeared into the darkness.

As he was about to leave the depths of the Demon Cave, Lin Zheyu’s expression shifted slightly, halting his steps.

"Such powerful Sword Intent, so familiar feeling..."
