Chapter 960 - 322: Evil Heart Sect (Part 3)

This time-space node was actively opened by cultivators from this world, unlike the one Lin Zheyu entered, guarded by the Demon Suppression Army in the Demon Lair.

The time-space node guarded by the Demon Suppression Army was formed by the Demon Realm’s active invasion.

This kind of node requires waiting until the node is completely stable before demons can pass through the node and enter this world.

Whereas the node actively opened by cultivators from this world connecting to the Demon Realm can stabilize in a very short time.

This node seems to have been actively connected by a powerful individual using a Secret Technique.

This time-space node is now capable of supporting demons from the Demon Realm to pass through and enter this world.

A large number of deep-sea behemoths are battling fiercely with the demons emerging from the time-space node within the barrier.

The thick scent of blood fills the entire barrier.

As more and more demons die in this world.

The viscous liquid, energy, and Rule Tao Rhyme spilling from the demons will eventually demonize this realm.

The deeper the demonization, the more stable the node becomes, and the stronger the demons that can enter this world.

"There are still Human Race cultivators..."

Lin Zheyu’s face showed a hint of surprise.

He didn’t expect to see Human Race cultivators even at the time-space node in the deep sea.

However, he merely glanced and quickly sped towards the direction of the time-space node.

Lin Zheyu’s main task this time was to use the energy within the time-space node to optimize and iterate the Heavenly Deceit Skill, then cultivate it to the Perfection level.

Then integrate it into the Primordial Golden Body.

Besides this, he didn’t want any unexpected incidents.

Swoosh swoosh—

Lin Zheyu weaved through the demons and soon arrived at the location of the time-space node.

In the dark seawater, a pitch-black crack, like the gaping maw of a deep abyss.

Thick, black liquid containing astonishing demonic energy continuously flowed from the node’s crack.

Outside the crack, a large number of powerful Sea Race individuals were gathered.

These strong individuals were densely arranging arrays, trying to completely close this time-space node.

If the time-space node expands recklessly and solidifies into the Demon Realm’s bridgehead into this world.

It would be dangerous for the Sea Race.

Lin Zheyu even suspected whether the time-space node in the deep sea was actively opened by a powerful individual from Great Wei.

Solely to create chaos for the Sea Race, preventing them from dedicating more effort.

"Estimating it will take at least one or two more days for the array to be completely arranged to close this time-space node."

"It should be enough time for me to deduce the Heavenly Deceit Skill to Perfection."

Lin Zheyu secretly pondered.

If time isn’t sufficient, he could always find another time-space node.

Currently, the world lacks many things, but time-space nodes aren’t one.

This world, like a sieve, has long been severely eroded by the Demon Realm, causing numerous time-space node cracks to appear globally.

When the day comes that the speed of cultivators sealing time-space nodes can’t keep up with the appearance of new nodes.

Perhaps that would be when the Demon Realm begins its frontal attack on this world.

The powerful perception spread wide.

Dense demonic energy surged toward Lin Zheyu’s body, and the Martial Arts Divine Pattern on his body quickly transformed into purple-black.

Immediately afterward, elegant purple-black scale armor emerged from beneath his skin, covering Lin Zheyu’s entire body.

In an instant, Lin Zheyu seemed to transform into the demon form.

Poof~~

With a gentle flap of wings covered in purple-black scale armor, Lin Zheyu transformed into a spectral light, entering the time-space node.

"Ai Qixun, did a cultivator just enter?"

A Sea Race member arranging arrays furrowed her brow and spoke to her companion beside her.

Her perception was naturally strong.

At the moment she saw Lin Zheyu’s silhouette, the strong perception alerted her to something unusual.

"You must have seen wrong?"

"Wasn’t that a demon just now?"

"And anyway, even if it’s a cultivator, as long as it doesn’t affect us closing this time-space node, there’s nothing to worry about."

Ai Qixun said indifferently.

"Hmm."

"But be careful, that guy just now gave me an extremely dangerous feeling."

The Sea Race member who discovered Lin Zheyu said, furrowing her brow slightly.

"Got it, got it, I’ll notify the other Sea Race members now."

Ai Qixun also knew Manson had a strong perception; Manson’s intuition was highly accurate.

Therefore, she took out the Sea Race communication Magical Artifact and relayed the message to her other companions.

Within the time-space node.

Oooo~~~

Roar roar roar!!!

Terrifying black winds howled, and violent rule energy rampaged in the void space.

Demons surged continuously from the Demon Realm, passing through the void space within the time-space node and entering the world where Lin Zheyu was.

Upon entering this void space, he encountered hordes of pouring demons.

However, his disguise fooled these mindless demons, causing them to regard Lin Zheyu as kin and not attack him.

As Lin Zheyu’s understanding deepened regarding Demon Demonic Pattern and Martial Arts Divine Pattern.

Even without using Demonization, merely using the Primordial Golden Body in tandem with demon energy’s form was sufficient for concealing.

Of course, if encountering powerful intelligent demons, it would still be hard to deceive them.

Intelligent demons possess a unique method of differentiation.

Lin Zheyu could only transform into the demon form.

Splash~~

Lin Zheyu plunged into the energy lake below.

A thought transmitted: ’Use one unit of Source Power to cultivate the Heavenly Deceit Skill.’

In an instant, a familiar feeling came.

Lin Zheyu’s spirit blurred for a moment, entering the familiar consciousness space, beginning endless cultivation.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!

Thick black smoke steamed off his body, and mysterious Martial Arts Divine Patterns emerged beneath his skin, radiating dazzling golden light.

Time slowly passed.

’Use one unit of Source Power to cultivate the Heavenly Deceit Skill 2.0’

...

’Use one unit of Source Power to cultivate the Heavenly Deceit Skill 3.0’

...

’Use one unit of Source Power to cultivate the Heavenly Deceit Skill 4.0’

...

Time slowly passed.

Through past powerful accumulation, coupled with the experience and insights gained during cultivation, Lin Zheyu continuously optimized and iterated the Heavenly Deceit Skill.

Whew~~~

Amid the energy lake filled with violent rule energy and demonic energy, Lin Zheyu suddenly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

[The Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 32

Skills:

Shrinking Ground into Inches (Perfection)

Heavenly Deceit Skill (Great Success 3%)

Seven Extremes Blade (Fifth Layer: 3%)

Primordial Golden Body (Third Layer: 100%)

"Just a little more, tomorrow should bring the Heavenly Deceit Skill to Perfection."

Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness and said to himself.

The difficulty of this Cultivation Technique was much greater than he expected, the Source Power consumed was more than anticipated.

Nevertheless, it’s no big deal.

"Better get out first."

Lin Zheyu mused.

If during recovery within the time-space node it gets closed by the Sea Race, Lin Zheyu doesn’t know what consequences might ensue.

He wouldn’t want to experience it firsthand.

Thinking of this.

Lin Zheyu, with a slight mental move, absorbed the immense demonic energy into his body, instantly covered completely by elegant and fluid purple-black scale armor.

Immediately afterward, Lin Zheyu operated the Heavenly Deceit Skill, concealing the presence on his body.

Although not yet cultivated to Perfection, it already makes quite a difference.

"I definitely need to integrate the Heavenly Deceit Skill into the Primordial Golden Body."

"Using it by itself affects effectiveness."

Lin Zheyu assessed his current state and reflected.

He realized using the Primordial Golden Body while operating the Heavenly Deceit Skill, there were slight conflicts in the Martial Arts Divine Pattern within his body.

Forcing them down impacted both the power of the Primordial Golden Body and the Heavenly Deceit Skill significantly.

"Must find a way to mitigate this impact."

"This way, I won’t need a method to integrate every newly cultivated technique related to Martial Arts Divine Pattern into the Primordial Golden Body."

Lin Zheyu contemplated.

His figure slightly blurred as he quickly headed towards the node crack.
