Chapter 741: Chapter 256: Rule Fragment 4
"Yes."
"Every time a time-space node appears, the Demon God Barrier shrouding it completely turns into demon soil, rule fragments will appear."
"These rule fragments are rewards borne from the world’s self-protection after being destroyed and invaded by other realms."
"Mr. Xiao, would you like to join us?"
"Let’s try our luck together."
Lei Yunshu invited with a smile.
Her gaze towards Lin Zheyu was extremely clear, seemingly without malice.
"When will it start?"
Lin Zheyu inquired.
He looked at the data in his consciousness.
[Heavenly Dao rewards diligent work]
Name: Lin Zheyu
Source Power: 23
Skills:
Mixed Element Concealing Breath Skill (Perfection)
Primordial Golden Body (Second Layer: 82%)
After a period of cultivation, the Primordial Golden Body had reached 82% progress in the second layer, nearing perfection.
However, there was not much Source Power left.
Lin Zheyu estimated that once he cultivated the Primordial Golden Body to second-layer perfection, about fourteen units of Source Power would remain.
If time allowed, Lin Zheyu planned to wait a bit longer.
Just give him one more day, and he would be able to push the remaining progress forward.
"Soon."
"The Observatory’s simulations suggest that it could happen any moment within the next ten days." Lei Yunhan said with a smile.
She looked at Lin Zheyu with a gaze full of curiosity.
This Mr. Xiao seemed unaware of the rule fragments and hadn’t received any news about them, which was quite intriguing.
In these times, loose cultivators still exist but are extremely rare and unaccomplished.
However, there is always an exception.
Could this Mr. Xiao be a genius among loose cultivators?
Perhaps he is the closed-door disciple of some hidden master?
"Yun Shu, Yun Han, Yun Zhi, long time no see."
A clear voice sounded, and a woman in a pale yellow long dress walked over with a smile towards Lin Zheyu and the others.
Lin Zheyu looked at the woman with a slight hint of surprise in his eyes.
Not only him, but Lei Yunshu and the others also appeared quite puzzled.
"Greetings, Miss Ji."
Lei Yunshu and the others greeted Ji Zitong.
Miss Ji?
Lin Zheyu was slightly surprised.
Judging by their expressions, this so-called Miss Ji seemed to come from an extraordinary background.
"This is the present-day genius of the Ji Family, Ji Zitong."
Lei Yunshu’s voice resonated in his heart.
"Yun Han, aren’t you going to introduce this fellow cultivator to me?" Ji Zitong said with a smile to Lei Yunhan.
"This is Mr. Xiao, Xiao Yu, a friend of Yun Shu."
"Mr. Xiao, this is Miss Ji Zitong, a renowned genius of the Ji Family!"
Lei Yunhan said with a sweet voice.
It was clear that Miss Ji Zitong had come for Xiao Yu.
The three of them were of ordinary talent in the Lei Family and had no connection whatsoever with Ji Zitong, the genius of the Ji Family.
"Greetings, Miss Ji."
Lin Zheyu bowed to Ji Zitong.
Although uncertain about her motives, Lin Zheyu didn’t mind making acquaintances considering Ji Zitong’s distinguished background.
"Greetings, Mr. Xiao."
Ji Zitong nodded towards Lin Zheyu, a faint smile on her face.
"I wonder if Mr. Xiao could join the step..."
"Watch out!"
Ji Zitong suddenly shouted.
Her right hand swung abruptly, and a beam of green light shot towards Lin Zheyu’s feet.
Bang!
At the instant Ji Zitong took action, Lin Zheyu had already noticed the abnormality underfoot.
Upon detecting Tu Yuan’s ability to tunnel underground, Lin Zheyu controlled his perception field to penetrate the demon soil below.
Although his perception field was heavily restricted within the demon soil, it had no problem reaching about a thousand meters underground.
As Tu Yuan used a Secret Technique to approach within a hundred meters of Lin Zheyu, he had already discovered Tu Yuan’s presence.
Boom!
The spot where Lin Zheyu had been standing burst open with a boom.
His right foot stomped violently, and his figure swiftly slid sideways.
"Ah!"
"Damn, Ji Zitong!"
Tu Yuan’s voice echoed.
He seemed equally shocked by Ji Zitong’s presence here.
Tu Yuan’s figure shook violently as he attempted to burrow into the ground.
"Hmph!"
Lin Zheyu snorted coldly.
Trying to escape after a sneak attack? There’s no way it’s that easy.
His footsteps slammed forward, his feet seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds, as a terrifying rumbling echoed and a crack spread from beneath Lin Zheyu’s feet.
From this crack, Lin Zheyu glimpsed a flash of earth-yellow Escape Light.
His expression shifted, and he vanished from his spot in an instant, moving at an even faster speed.
Rumble!
Another wave of terrifying rumbling ensued.
Lin Zheyu instantaneously arrived above the streak of earth-yellow Escape Light, his right palm forcefully smacking the ground, causing the entire area to quiver.
"Damn, what kind of monster is this guy!"
Tu Yuan cursed under his breath.
Within the demon soil.
Tu Yuan, who had merged into the demon soil, was shaken out by a single foot and palm strike from Lin Zheyu.
He sensed a hint of danger.
This guy was downright monstrous, his attack style mismatched with that of a cultivator and closely resembled that of demons, the Barbarian Race, and Ancient Demons.
"Come out!"
Ji Zitong’s commanding voice rang out.
Her right hand swiftly formed a seal as a golden light streaked towards Tu Yuan’s location.
The golden light contained a rope, and the moment Lin Zheyu’s palm struck down and shook Tu Yuan from the demon soil, the rope flew over, instantly binding Tu Yuan tightly.
"Spare me, Miss Ji!"
"I am a friend of your noble cousin Ji Ziyang!"
Tu Yuan hurriedly cried out.
The terrifying gust of wind brushed past his face as Lin Zheyu’s palm halted less than a centimeter from him.
Had Tu Yuan called out a second later, Lin Zheyu’s palm would have struck him.
His forehead was instantly covered in beads of sweat.
He was scared to death.
If that palm had landed, his head might have exploded outright.
"This, this fellow cultivator, spare my life!"
Tu Yuan turned his head, revealing an awkward yet polite smile, pleading for mercy.
