Free Web NovelChapter 737: Chapter 255: Mutation (Part 3)
The man sneered coldly, and a yellowish-brown light abruptly appeared on his body, with a puff, he disappeared into the earth.
This was the Earth Escape Skill from the Five Elements Escape Skill.
Unlike the traditional Earth Escape Skill, the one used by the man was modified, allowing it to work even in the demon soil within the Demon God Barrier.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The man’s speed was astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the artificial small magic lake created by Lin Zheyu.
Splish-splash.
A sly, rat-eyed figure emerged from the demon soil and entered the magic lake filled with demonic energy.
"Oh?"
"Such pure and rich demonic energy."
"How could there be a magic lake composed of such pure demonic energy here?"
"No, there’s no tributary of a demon river here, how could a magic lake suddenly appear?"
"Was it artificially created?"
In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through the man’s mind.
He speculated that the golden light within the black mist might be the magical treasure of a powerful cultivator.
"Heh heh!"
"Even a magical treasure’s aura can’t be concealed, it must be seriously injured, right?"
The man chuckled.
The Demon God Barrier isn’t an ancient ruin or a treasure site, how could a powerful magical treasure suddenly appear?
Upon discovering this golden light, the man speculated that it must be some cultivator’s Magical Artifact.
"Could it be a trap?"
"No, probably not."
"Such a trap would make too much noise, attracting over twenty powerful cultivators in just a few breaths."
"One careless move could even attract terrifying experts."
The man muttered to himself.
The bold starve, the timid perish from hunger.
Solo wanderers in the Demon God Barrier are mostly formidable and ruthless characters.
The man had no powerful background, relying on his strength, luck, and courage to seize numerous cultivation opportunities.
Only then could he cultivate to his current level of power.
His thoughts turned in his mind, and the man made a decision.
"Go!"
The man formed a seal with his hands, and a bone as thick as an arm in his hand rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant bone over ten meters long and as thick as a barrel.
The bone was engraved with countless runes, which under the man’s control, emitted an eerie, sinister glow.
Whoosh~~
The giant bone suddenly flew up and smashed towards the golden light within the black mist.
Having roamed the world and survived many life and death crises, the man still alive today relied not just on strength and luck,
but also on maintaining composure and caution amidst his greed.
...
Chchchch~~~~
The continuous sound of hissing echoed.
Dense black mist surged up from Lin Zheyu’s body.
At this moment, the Bosatsu Scripture Totem, structured with gold runes on his body, underwent a great change.
Although the transformation wasn’t complete, it had already taken its initial form.
The wispy breeze from the Pusa Scripture had now drastically changed, condensing into the form of a humanoid creature.
This was a figure with vicious bone spurs protruding from its shoulders, a body of extraordinarily smooth lines, and a pair of wings of flesh behind it that unfurled like a pair of angelic wings.
The image appeared both fierce and carried a special sense of beauty, with its golden glow giving it a hint of the sacred.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a giant bone appeared and crashed down towards Lin Zheyu’s head.
The terrifying booming sound arrived, and Lin Zheyu was directly hit by the giant bone. The terrifying force pushed him plummeting into the depths of the lake floor.
At the moment of impact, the eerie, sinister energy emanating from the bone flooded into Lin Zheyu’s body.
This energy was highly destructive, and in an instant, Lin Zheyu’s physique appeared covered with dense cracks like a porcelain vase.
However, these cracks disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Lin Zheyu was in a state of increased Source Power, where no matter how severe the injury, as long as there was sufficient energy, it could instantly recover.
The terrifying booming sound came; Lin Zheyu was forcibly driven into the earth.
His eyes snapped open.
"Hmm?!"
Lin Zheyu immediately noticed the anomaly in his body.
His body was being smashed into the soil at a startling speed.
"Ambushed?"
Lin Zheyu had a guess in an instant.
He had been extremely cautious and didn’t expect to encounter such a situation.
Fortunately, nothing irreparable had happened yet.
Nor did he have any injuries.
While in a state of Source Power usage, and immersed in a magic lake filled with pure demonic energy, unless killed in an instant,
or severely injured to an extent where the energy contained within the mist was far from enough to heal,
It’s unlikely there would be any lasting injuries.
"Didn’t expect that in choosing this location, there was such a powerful figure hidden nearby."
Lin Zheyu frowned.
With a thought, the golden light emanating from his body disappeared in an instant, and his powerful aura rapidly diminished.
The magic lake, containing pure demonic energy, was madly absorbed into Lin Zheyu’s body under his active absorption.
Puff—
Lin Zheyu’s right hand slapped downward, halting the downward trend, propelling him quickly into the magic lake.
Lin Zheyu planned to use this purple-black energy to conceal his presence amidst the cover of demonic energy.
"Success!"
The sly, rat-eyed man, seeing the golden light in the black mist struck by the eerie bone, showed a look of joy in his eyes.
That bone was one of his most powerful Magical Artifacts, quite eerie.
Even Golden Core experts would suffer for a while if struck by it.
However, the man didn’t rush forward immediately.
He waved his right hand, causing the bone to quickly shrink and return to his palm.
The bone’s eerie glow had disappeared, and that strike seemed to have exhausted its internal energy, as its sinister, sinister aura had faded significantly.
It now appeared like an ordinary bone.
The sly, rat-eyed man stowed the energy-exhausted bone into his storage bag and cautiously observed the place where Lin Zheyu had been smashed.
The caution ingrained in his bones ensured that even at this moment, he maintained reason and caution.
He didn’t rashly charge forward.
Fearing an ambush from that unknown strong person.
After waiting for two whole breaths.
Upon sensing that the golden light aura from earlier was gone, the man could no longer hold back. Continuing to wait, those outsiders would catch up soon.
Puff—
His figure moved, transforming into a ghostly light, darting towards where Lin Zheyu was struck down.
At the same time.
Silently hiding in the magic lake with the help of purple-black energy, Lin Zheyu also noticed the man’s figure.
The magic lake contained extremely powerful, pure demonic energy.
This energy had a strong interference with the spiritual perception of cultivators. Even using a secret technique or Magical Artifact would be greatly impaired here.
But Lin Zheyu was different.
His perceptual domain was already less affected by demonic energy interference. After cultivating several demon skills, the interference further decreased to an extremely weak level.
Relying on his powerful perceptual domain, Lin Zheyu discovered the man’s presence right away, while the man hadn’t noticed Lin Zheyu hiding in the magic lake at all.
"Was it him who ambushed me just now?"
"That bone Magical Artifact is indeed somewhat mysterious, but its strength seems no more than Foundation Establishment level."
"If only..."
"Not good, others are coming!"
Just as Lin Zheyu intended to strike and deliver a thunderous blow to the sly, rat-eyed man, he halted.
In his perception, more than twenty powerful auras were rapidly approaching this way.
Some auras had even charged into the magic lake.
Lin Zheyu did not act rashly.
He quickly restrained his aura, his body covered in purple-black energy, using the purple-black energy’s concealment to blend himself into the viscous liquid of the magic lake.
Splosh!
In the magic lake, two figures charged in swiftly.
Their auras quite powerful, locking onto the sly, rat-eyed man’s position the moment they entered the lake.
Completely oblivious to Lin Zheyu hidden within the magic lake.
They moved towards the sly, rat-eyed man’s position.
Lin Zheyu twisted his body and sank into the magical soil at the lake’s bottom.
He intended to use the magic lake’s cover to hide, biding his time to see if he could seize an opportunity to let others fight while he reaped the benefits!
