Chapter 1039 - 346: Return

Roar, roar!

In the pitch-black Divine Demon Barrier, the roars of demons and monsters echoed endlessly.

Three kilometers from the node fissure, the demon river flowed, continuously permeating deep into the ground.

Lin Zheyu submerged to the bottom of the demon river, with the vast demonic energy continually pouring into his body.

A strong demonic aura emanated from Lin Zheyu, scaring the nearby demons into fleeing in all directions.

As his strength increased, Lin Zheyu’s transformation into demon form required more and more energy.

If not for the unique existence of the space-time node and Demon God Barrier.

Even if Lin Zheyu entered the Demon Realm, he would need considerable time to transform into demon form.

A few days later.

A humanoid demon over three meters tall and covered in magnificent scale armor appeared in the demon river.

"Absorption efficiency is too low..."

"According to the rate of demon transformation, reaching the limit of the shackles might take more than half a month."

"I need to find a way to solve this problem."

"I recall there’s an odd cultivation technique among demon skills called Heaven-Swallowing Demon Skill, which can devour demons and refine their flesh for one’s own use."

"If I can incorporate this technique into demon transformation, the speed of demonization will be much faster."

"I wonder how Kong Yu Jing’s mission is progressing, how many strong cultivators have been recruited."

Lin Zheyu mused inwardly.

Kong Yu Jing was the demonic cultivator from Evil Heart Sect whom he had encountered initially, now pledged allegiance to Lin Zheyu.

Lin Zheyu sent her to recruit more demonic cultivators, in exchange for his help in alleviating the issue of demonic wills.

Now, over two months have passed.

Once things are settled here, he should check on Kong Yu Jing’s progress.

Lin Zheyu intended to have her search for this cultivation technique, or find something similar.

Swish~~

The demon river flowed gently.

Lin Zheyu’s thoughts shifted, the golden Celestial Eye in his sea of consciousness suddenly opened, thoroughly examining his body condition.

"Wu Yiyi’s bloodline curse is much stronger than others, even in demon form, much of the bloodline curse remains within."

Lin Zheyu expressed surprise.

However, this is not a problem.

His thoughts shifted, vast demonic energy surged violently.

The remaining bloodline curse, under the bombardment of demonic energy, was soon completely obliterated.

Now, only those bloodline curses remain in the heart.

The heart is one of the few human organs that Lin Zheyu preserved, enveloped and protected by vast golden energy.

If even the heart were completely demonized, Lin Zheyu figured it would be impossible to return to human form.

Thump, thump, thump~~~

The heart thumped powerfully.

Under Lin Zheyu’s control, the vast golden energy tightly wrapped around the heart, trapping the remaining bloodline curse within it.

Then.

The void space behind the three Divine Treasures suddenly opened, and vast Essence, Qi, and Spirit Energy poured out instantly.

Centered around the heart, the dense network of blood vessels grew and extended at an astonishing speed.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Zheyu reverted from demon form back to human form, but the magic patterns all over his body still hadn’t completely transformed into Martial Arts Divine Patterns.

Even though Lin Zheyu had completely mastered the method of transforming magic patterns into Martial Arts Divine Patterns, it required significant time and effort.

Puff!

He suddenly extended his right hand, grasped into his chest, and pulled out the heart that bore the remaining bloodline curse.

The injury to the chest healed instantly as before.

The missing heart slowly reformed at an astonishing speed, nurtured by vast vitality and Qi Blood Energy.

Having resolved the issue of the bloodline curse, Lin Zheyu’s thoughts shifted, and the Primordial Pool suddenly flew out from the storage bag, landing in his palm.

Lin Zheyu lightly tossed the Primordial Pool, letting it fall to the ground.

His thought shifted, his figure slightly blurred, and he swiftly entered the Primordial Pool.

Lin Zheyu’s thought moved: ’Use one unit of Source Power to cultivate the Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill.’

This was the first time he attempted to cultivate this technique outside the Secret Realm.

Lin Zheyu wanted to see if using Source Power to enhance would make cultivation as challenging as it was in that world.

His spirit blurred for an instant, entering the Consciousness Space.

The Consciousness Space began to transform according to Lin Zheyu’s thoughts, into the likeness of a Secret Realm.

According to his conception, whether it was the environment or the essence of the Consciousness Space, they were identical to the Witch Clan Secret Realm.

However.

When Lin Zheyu began cultivation, he found it utterly useless!

A few breaths later.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of helplessness in his gaze.

He knew that for witch cultivators, the cultivation environment of this world is extremely harsh.

Otherwise, witch cultivators wouldn’t have vanished into the long river of history.

Yet.

Lin Zheyu hadn’t anticipated that even with the vast Chaotic Primordial Energy from the Primordial Pool aiding him, it was still so difficult.

What the heck——

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 898

Skills:

Heavenly Deceit Skill (Perfection)

Seven Extremes Blade (Layer Seven: 100%)

Shrinking the Ground to an Inch (Layer Three: 100%)

Primordial Golden Body (Layer Four: 100%)

Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill (Layer One: 0%)

Lin Zheyu looked at the data within his consciousness; one unit of Source Power was thrown in, yet the Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill didn’t make a single ripple.

Still stuck at Layer One, with zero progress.

"Let’s just use Source Power to restore the body."

Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly with resignation.
