Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Chapter 738: Chapter 256: Rule Fragments

...

"Where is he?"

"Where’s the stuff?"

Inside the Demon God Barrier, in the artificial demon lake created by Lin Zheyu.

The man with shifty eyes arrived at the massive pit where Lin Zheyu had been smashed, frowning deeply.

Here, his perception was greatly restricted, but such a distinct aura could not have possibly escaped his senses just moments ago.

"Come out!"

The man snorted lightly, forming a seal with his hands and pressing them hard against the ground.

An invisible wave of energy radiated from him, rapidly spreading to the surroundings. This energy wave, like a radar’s sonic boom, condensed into feedback perception in his mind.

"Really gone?"

"How is that possible!"

The man’s face darkened.

Even the bone magical artifact he used as his trump card had been summoned, yet the opponent still managed to escape.

The man gritted his teeth and glanced behind him. He could sense the vibrations coming from the rear.

"Hmph, even if I have to dig three feet deep, I’m going to dig you out!"

The man snorted coldly, his body flickered, and like melting soil, he sank into the ground and disappeared.

A few breaths later.

Several sounds of ripping through thick liquid were heard, and three men with powerful auras stood not far from the pit Lin Zheyu had created.

They looked at each other vigilantly, not immediately taking action.

The treasure was yet to be obtained, and fighting rashly would result in a mutual loss, giving others the chance to seize it.

"Mr. Liao, Mr. Lei, it’s been a long time. Did you also sense that aura just now?"

The middle-aged man with a small beard smiled at the two across from him.

They all knew each other, although they had no personal relationship, they were rather wary of one another’s strengths.

"Mr. Yuan, what a coincidence."

"I just saw that Earth Demon Rat. If you don’t pursue it, that guy will escape." Liao Xingfan said indifferently.

He glanced at Lei He beside him, sneering, as if there was a grudge between them.

"Tu Yuan is here too?"

Yuan Qiu was startled in his heart.

Among the three, he was the last to arrive. By the time he reached, the shifty-eyed man had already disappeared.

That man was somewhat famous in the Immortal Realm, with his Earth Escape Skill cultivated to perfection, earning him the nickname Earth Demon Rat, with the real name Tu Yuan.

"Take action!"

Yuan Qiu exchanged a glance with others, a tacit understanding in their eyes.

With a swift wave of his right hand, several red lights appeared and shot into the ground.

Immediately, Yuan Qiu began forming seals with both hands, and the red lights connected, instantly forming a small array.

"Constrain!"

Yuan Qiu commanded softly.

Instantly, a more powerful red light was generated, sinking into the soil, following the remnants of Tu Yuan’s aura.

"Go!"

At the same time, Lei He and Liao Xingfan also made a move.

In their view, the unknown treasure must have fallen into Tu Yuan’s hands.

No matter what, they must first join forces and pull Tu Yuan out from the demon soil.

...

"More and more people are coming."

Lin Zheyu, hidden in the shadows, sensed the growing number of strong auras outside the demon lake.

This artificially created demon lake was not large, with just a few dozen cubic space.

Although more than twenty auras appeared, only a few dared to enter the demon lake, most lingered outside, their faces filled with curiosity.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud roar came from not far away.

A powerful aura shot out from within the earth, like a cannonball, breaking through the blockade of Yuan Qiu, Lei He, and others.

"Damn!"

"Didn’t get the stuff, instead ended up with trouble."

"Where the hell did that bastard go, now even if I say the stuff isn’t on me, they probably won’t believe it."

Tu Yuan, enveloped in an earthen yellow escape light, grumbled to himself.

Old fellow Yuan Qiu was quite skilled, able to locate his position and force him from the depths of the earth.

If he had known he couldn’t find the item earlier, he would have escaped immediately.

’It’s all greed’s fault!’

Tu Yuan couldn’t help muttering to himself.

He initially planned to hide in the dark like Lin Zheyu, to see if he could seize a chance and benefit like a fisherman.

Damn, who knew his plan hadn’t even begun, and Liao Xingfan had already detected his aura.

"But if you think this will capture me, you’re far too naive!"

"The nickname Earth Demon Rat isn’t just for show!"

Tu Yuan sneered.

The earthen yellow escape light around him grew more intense, a layer of invisible pale blue ripples suddenly appearing outside the escape light.

In an instant, his speed surged again, darting towards the earthen wall ahead.

Lin Zheyu noticed the man charging towards him. He slightly moved, sliding over three meters to the left.

"Oh?"

"This aura seems familiar..."

In a split second, Tu Yuan noticed Lin Zheyu’s movement and couldn’t help but glance at where Lin Zheyu was hiding, a surprised look on his face.

"Was it this guy just now?"

"Such a dense demonic aura, he almost fooled me."

"Could that mysterious, powerful golden light aura just now be a treasure this guy uses to suppress his demonic tendencies?"

Tu Yuan suddenly understood.

He had traveled across lands for decades and seen many things.

He had even encountered an old monster who had reached the Nascent Soul stage by cultivating a Demon Skill while still retaining his sanity.

But that old monster found his daily periods of lucidity decreasing, only one hour each day was he fully conscious.
