Chapter 1038 - 345: Adverse Conditions 3

He shook his head helplessly.

The fantasy of becoming a terrifying Chaos Divine Demon Fiend was shattered.

For now, martial arts remains the most suitable cultivation path for Lin Zheyu.

"Although the environment for cultivating witchcraft is harsh, the books left by Mr. Qiong Yun are indeed a huge treasure for me!"

"Once the bloodline curse is lifted, it will be time to start a new retreat," Lin Zheyu contemplated.

With a flip of his right hand, a purple ring, seized from Wu Yiyi, appeared in his palms.

The ring felt cool to the touch, and upon careful examination, Lin Zheyu discovered that it seemed to be made of some special crystal.

"Being able to kill Wu Yiyi this time was truly a stroke of luck."

"Had it not been for being in the Witch Clan Secret Realm at that time, he might have really gotten away."

"Next time facing these cultivators with deep backgrounds, if possible, avoid offending them; they are truly too hard to kill," Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

These guys have far too many life-preserving methods.

Lin Zheyu replayed the situation in his mind; outside the secret realm, he had no assurance of being able to kill him.

Unfortunately, there are no ’ifs’...

Ultimately, Lin Zheyu emerged victorious.

One can only say Wu Yiyi was really unlucky and way too overconfident.

Had he not entered the secret realm, ambushing and launching a sneak attack, Lin Zheyu really wouldn’t have been able to stop Wu Yiyi.

The two talismans on Wu Yiyi were indeed very strong.

Such powerful talismans aren’t suitable for martial artists like Wu Yiyi to use; activating them requires more time than for cultivators.

To simultaneously activate two powerful talismans, he needs over thirty breaths of time.

Although the cooldown time is long, the power of the talismans is stunning.

Moreover, when used in conjunction with a defensive treasure like the Taiwei Purple Crystal Ring, the long activation time is no issue at all.

The Great Transposition Talisman allows Wu Yiyi to instantly break through the void lock and teleport to a place a thousand miles away.

Simultaneously, with the Heaven Cheating Talisman, even if by misfortune the enemy accidentally finds the right direction, it can still conceal from the enemy’s perception.

The Heaven Cheating Talisman was derived by a great being from the ancient array Heaven-Deceiving Array, engraved into a talisman with powerful concealment effects.

The Heaven Cheating Talisman’s effect lasts for a full half hour.

Within that half hour, unless some exceptionally gifted cultivator, even a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator cannot detect it.

These three methods, when used in conjunction,

It can be said, even when encountering an opponent at the Nascent Soul Perfection level, Wu Yiyi still has a great chance of survival.

But,

Unfortunately, Wu Yiyi encountered Lin Zheyu.

Moreover, it was inside the Witch Clan Secret Realm, and he encountered Lin Zheyu who had just received the Witch Clan inheritance.

His luck really hit rock bottom.

The Great Transposition Talisman is indeed very formidable.

But even if it can break through the void lock, it can’t breach the secret realm space set up during Qiong Yun’s peak period.

This is also why Wu Yiyi frantically delayed the time.

Delaying wasn’t the real goal; the real goal was to lull Lin Zheyu into complacency, then use the Illusion Talisman to create an illusion body to bewilder Lin Zheyu.

Then, immediately after, activate the Heaven Cheating Talisman and the Great Transposition Talisman, quietly leaving the Taiwei Purple Crystal Ring.

Finally, leveraging the cover of the Heaven Cheating Talisman, quietly slip through the secret realm’s exit and successfully escape.

This plan was very complete, the most suitable scheme Wu Yiyi could think of in a short time.

And, it was the plan he believed had the highest success rate.

But,

He still failed.

Lin Zheyu, holding the Celestial Eye and the bone talisman, had an unprecedentedly strong perception in the secret realm.

Moreover, Lin Zheyu had studied the incomplete Heaven-Deceiving Array, even integrating it into his own cultivation technique as part of the Martial Arts Divine Pattern.

The Heaven Cheating Talisman had no effect on Lin Zheyu at all.

One can only say Wu Yiyi was too unlucky, his fate was doomed.

Buzz!

Suddenly.

The Taiwei Purple Crystal Ring in Lin Zheyu’s hand began to tremble crazily, attempting to forcibly break free from his grasp.

"What a clever trick, to be able to summon from a distance,"

Lin Zheyu grasped the purple ring tightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

With a slight thought, the purple ring instantly vanished, reappearing in a void filled with dim energy.

This place was within the Primordial Pool.

Upon entering the Primordial Pool, the Taiwei Purple Crystal Ring immediately calmed down, quietly floating in the void of the Primordial Pool.

"It truly works."

"This Primordial Pool is quite good; it can even isolate the summoning of magical treasures. I wonder if it can block the Peeling Heaven’s Secret, perhaps I can give it a try."

Lin Zheyu murmured to himself.

Currently, he has not fully mastered the Primordial Pool, only able to use it superficially, equivalent to having temporary access.

To fully control the Primordial Pool, ascending to the Body Fusion Realm within the Wu Law is necessary.

Lin Zheyu previously had considerable confidence in this.

But after sensing this world, which has such a harsh environment for Witch Cultivation, he felt somewhat uncertain.

"I wonder if using Source Power to enhance the ’Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill’ can simulate an environment suitable for Witch Cultivation within the consciousness space."

"In essence, theoretically speaking, it should be possible."

"I just don’t know what energy source to use as the energy source for enhancing the ’Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill’."

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

His spirit soul is currently very strong, allowing him to multitask even while traveling at full speed, thinking about other matters.

If it weren’t for the mutated heavenly shackles inside him, extending into his sea of consciousness, binding his soul.

Lin Zheyu felt that he might even be able to achieve the state of out-of-body soul wandering the heavens and earth.

Very soon.

After approximately half an hour of traveling, Lin Zheyu finally sensed a strong wave of demonic energy.

Twenty kilometers away, the Demon God Barrier lay ahead.

This territory is under the control of the Nine Nether Sect, not just the Great Wei Nanman Region recently occupied by the Nine Nether Sect.

It has been the territory of the Nine Nether Sect for a long time.

The time-space node within this Demon God Barrier manifested long ago, currently controlled by the Nine Nether Sect.

Arriving outside the Demon God Barrier.

Lin Zheyu halted his pace, retrieved three Divine Power Crystals from his storage pouch, and simultaneously exerted the Heavenly Deceit Skill to its full extent within himself.

With the Demon God Barrier under the control of the Nine Nether Sect, sneaking in requires the use of Divine Power Crystals and special secret techniques.

Pfft—

The aura surrounding Lin Zheyu gradually diminished until there was not a trace of it, as if he did not exist at all.

His figure lightly swayed, merging into the void.

Stepping forward with his right foot, he crossed the Demon God Barrier, and dense demonic energy surged toward him, accompanied by the ceaseless roars of the demons.

Feeling the thick demonic energy, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Zheyu’s mouth.

"Such dense demonic energy; it seems this time-space node is of a high level," Lin Zheyu considered.

His figure blended into the void, weaving through the groups of demons and the cultivators of the Nine Nether Sect battling them.

Yet, no one noticed Lin Zheyu’s presence.

"This will do."

Lin Zheyu found a magic river brimming with pure demonic energy and leaped into it with a splash.

With a slight movement of his thoughts.

Torrents of demonic energy surged into his body, and the demonic transformation began to operate. The Martial Arts Divine Pattern on his body changed to a purple-black color at an alarming rate and then swiftly disintegrated.

The rushing demonic energy merged into the decomposed basic patterns, coalescing into brand new Demon Demonic Patterns.

Crackling noises~~

Inside Lin Zheyu’s body came a series of crackling noises, his form rapidly swelling and growing, with his flesh gradually transforming into demon flesh.

...

As Lin Zheyu transformed toward demon form,

at the entrance of the former inheritance Secret Realm, two purple silhouettes quickly approached from a distance, landing at the place where the Wu Family Martial Artists were buried.

Lin Zheyu knew that the Wu Family would definitely trace back here, so he did not destroy the bodies.

At that time, what was crucial was to race against time and immediately seek out the nearest time-space node.

Then absorb the demonic energy, using the demonic transformation to solve the bloodline curse on his body.

"It’s here."

The woman said lightly.

She stomped her right foot fiercely on the ground, and three bodies of the Wu Family Martial Artists emerged from the earth.

"Hmm, there’s an energy imprint left by Wu Shuo here."

The Fifth Elder remarked.

His hands quickly weaved seals, the bloodline power within him boiling, as he began to employ a secret technique, perceiving the aura of the bloodline curse.

"He fled this way, let’s go!"

The Fifth Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, looking in the direction Lin Zheyu had left.

The bloodline curse is the best tracking mark, yet if the distance is too far or the other party forcibly suppresses it, it becomes difficult to perceive.

Even so, the Wu Family has its ways of finding those afflicted with their bloodline curse.

Anyone marked with a bloodline imprint will leave obvious traces in the heavens and earth, no matter where they flee.

The Wu Family can trace these traces in the heavens and earth all the way to their quarry.
