Chapter 982 - 328: Powerful (Part 3)

Lin Zheyu glanced at the man without any intention of making an acquaintance.

Without slowing down, he headed deeper into the demon lair.

The deeper he went, the more Lin Zheyu felt an inexplicable oppression, and the difficulty of mobilizing rule power was increasing at an astonishing speed.

Soon, he was forced out of the void, unable to continue using the technique of melding into the void.

"This void has been eroded and assimilated by the Demon Realm to such an extent!" Lin Zheyu was somewhat surprised in his heart.

Gradually, he found it increasingly difficult to use rule power, requiring an exceedingly astonishing amount of energy.

Not only were the cultivators of this world subjected to strong constraints here.

Lin Zheyu discovered.

Even the demons here were also subjected to strong restrictions. They also found it difficult to use demonic patterns and harness powerful rule power.

"This is truly an ideal demon-hunting ground!"

After comprehending the rules of the depths of the demon lair, the Bloody Trial Ground, Lin Zheyu’s eyes couldn’t help but glimmer slightly.

His cultivation path not only needed to draw nourishment from cultivation systems like the Immortal Dao, Witch Race, and Barbarian Race.

It also needed to draw nourishment from the demon system.

It can be said that the creation of the Primordial Golden Body was a coincidental derivation from demon skills.

Even later, when Lin Zheyu created the "Martial Arts Divine Pattern Secret Canon," freeing himself from the demon demonic patterns and allowing the golden runes to stand independently as Martial Arts Divine Patterns.

Yet, there remained an inseparable connection between Martial Arts Divine Patterns and demon demonic patterns.

The knowledge and insights Lin Zheyu needed most at the moment, other than using the witch cultivation system as a reference, were from the demon demonic pattern system.

"Hunting demons in the Bloody Trial Ground is a long-term task for every power in Great Wei."

"After dealing with the rule fragments and Witch Race relics, perhaps I can spend some time here."

Lin Zheyu pondered privately.

Had it not been extremely dangerous here, unsuitable for him to break through limits and accumulate source power, Lin Zheyu would have come long ago.

He was committed to creating the "Extreme Skill" to enable him, even in dangerous environments.

For example, in the Demon Realm, or the Bloody Trial Ground deep in the demon lair, to enter a mysterious mental state and acquire source power.

Unfortunately, after trying for so long, he hadn’t succeeded, which left Lin Zheyu quite regretful.

He always felt that he was not far from success.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t manifest the corresponding cultivation technique data in his consciousness.

He didn’t know which crucial part was problematic or what critical content was missing.

"The opportunity for the rule fragments is about to begin, better get there first."

Lin Zheyu cleared his mind of distractions.

Suddenly, a pair of wings covered in magnificent scale armor spread open behind him, and with a strong flap of the wings, his figure turned into a shadow, disappearing from the spot.

Here, it’s nearly impossible to use rule power; every bit of rule power mobilized requires an astonishing amount of energy.

It really isn’t worthwhile.

...

About a quarter of an hour later.

In the depths of the demon lair, howling winds, and black gales whistle

A cold, silent breath of destruction merges with the black wind, howling and sweeping around.

Here, with no powerful barriers like the Demon God Barrier isolating the area, any region near the space-time node was affected by the windy desolation.

Apocalyptic destructive breaths spread from the space-time node as a center, oppressing nearby cultivators and demons, rendering them breathless.

Any demon above the six-stripe layer and cultivators above the Golden Elixir Layer, upon sensing this breath, changed their expressions dramatically.

They quickly flew away from this area as if in an escape.

The terrifying destructive Qi mechanism brewed with an astonishing speed; if they didn’t leave quickly, they would be drawn by this breath, causing their internal rule energy to go berserk.

By then, their strength would be seriously affected, suppressed to the Foundation Establishment Peak.

No Golden Elixir cultivator wanted to experience such a feeling.

An oversight and being defeated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator was the least of their concerns.

What they more feared was.

Due to some inexplicable connection between the fateful Qi and the destructive Qi mechanism, if accidentally affected.

The strength realm they painstakingly cultivated could have unforeseen consequences.

Plip—

Plip—

Rainwater, exuding an astonishing coldness, descended from the sky, with cold so pervasive it could freeze the heart and soul.

As time passed, the rain fell heavier and heavier.

The terrifying impact generated by the collision and fusion of two worlds resulted in fragmented rules, coalescing into a heavy energy cloud.

The energy clouds coalesce into droplets, descending from the sky.

Within the raindrops lies terrifying energy akin to world destruction; the energy resulting from the collision of rules and the Tao rhyme of two worlds is contained within.

Teams of talented cultivators quickly enter the prearranged array, commencing the hunt for demons and the destruction of evil spirits.

At this moment.

A tall figure covered entirely in purple-black scale armor, flapping the wings behind him, enters the zone now covered by the rain.

As if an invisible person, he weaves between demons and cultivators, unnoticed by either.

Drip~

Drip, drip~~

The rain, imbued with violent and filthy rule energy, drops on Lin Zheyu, creating crisp sounds.

The glow on the scale armor flickers, yet it remains utterly unaffected.

The Lin Zheyu of today is no longer the weak martial artist of the past.

Due to his powerful physique, even cultivators at the early stage of the Golden Elixir cannot inflict severe damage upon him.

"Arriving early can’t beat arriving timely; the timing is just right."

Lin Zheyu looks up at the terrifying aura brewing in the void above, letting out a faint smile.

The wings behind him flap vigorously, and he swiftly rushes toward the spatial node fissure.

Skillfully traversing the endless void within the node, he enters the opposing Demon Realm.

At this time, the Demon Realm is almost identical to the opposite side, with horrifying destructive aura brewing at a prodigious pace.

The difference is the sheer number of demons here.

Lin Zheyu even spots large numbers of demons above the six-stripe layer, issuing terrifying roars and charging at the talented cultivators entering the Demon Realm.

"Hmm, it’s truly bustling here, worthy of supporting powerful space-time nodes for Divinity Transformation to move through."

Lin Zheyu gazes at the dense demon army, smiling slightly.

These demons are almost entirely unintelligent cannon fodder demons, with only a few intelligent species demons.

First, utilizing vast numbers of cannon fodder demons to deplete the stamina of the intruding talented cultivators in the Demon Realm.

Once their stamina is not significantly depleted, these intelligent species demons would lurk in the dark, ready to move.

However, unfortunately for them, they’ve encountered Lin Zheyu.

Lin Zheyu loves hunting these intelligent species demons for the most abundant Heavenly Dao rewards.

With a gentle twist of his right hand, a long blade emitting a chilling cold light appears in Lin Zheyu’s grasp.

His figure slightly shimmers and speeds towards a six-stripe layer intelligent species demon in the distance.

Wherever he passes, demons silently collapse, transforming into scattered demon blood and flesh.

Yet, the bizarre thing is.

The surrounding demons fail to sense any enemy presence, and even that distant six-striped intelligent species demon cannot detect the enemy’s existence.

"What is happening!"

The nearby six-striped demon is struck with apprehension as they observe demons silently collapsing in droves but cannot find any trace of an enemy.

This time among the cultivators infiltrating the Demon Realm is indeed such terrifying aberration.

"Quick escape!"

The demon instantly makes a decisive call, swiftly turning to flee.

Upon entering this area, its power is heavily suppressed, reduced to the five-stripe layer.

If it were to perish at the hands of a five-stripe layer cultivator, it would be excruciatingly frustrating.

Yet.

Having fled not even ten meters, the demon’s eyes widened, and the world before them begins to spin.

Boom, boom, boom—

The chilling cold light, like lightning, flashes through the void; the immense body of the six-striped demon instantly transforms into a scattered mass of demon blood and flesh.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The frightening blade light continuously slashes through the darkness.

Lin Zheyu has long fully integrated the Heavenly Deceit Skill into the Fourth Layer of the Primordial Golden Body.

Under the powerful concealment effects of the Heavenly Deceit Skill, neither demons nor cultivators can see the one executing the strikes.

All they could observe is the terrifying blade light passing through, and demons falling amidst the blade light, leaving blood and flesh behind as downed souls.

"Gulp—"

A talented cultivator in the distance involuntarily swallows upon witnessing this scene.

"I thought I was already strong, yet I didn’t expect such an aberration exists!"

He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "Could this guy possibly be one of those genius disciples from powerful sect forces ranking among the top, here just for fun?"
