Chapter 731: Chapter 253: Demonic Inscriptions (3)
Suddenly, the demon’s right claw shot out, rapidly expanding and reaching towards Lin Zheyu.
At this moment, Lin Zheyu had already activated his sensory field and immediately noticed the giant claw reaching for him.
His face looked extremely grim, not expecting to be discovered.
This demon was much more intelligent than he had imagined, forcing him out even though he was hiding among other demons.
"This is not good."
Lin Zheyu said to himself.
The giant claw came closer and closer; just as it was about to grab him, Lin Zheyu’s speed suddenly surged, booming as he instantly accelerated to his limit.
Earlier, he had intentionally slowed down, wanting to appear weak to deceive the opponent and find an opportunity to escape.
Bang——
A tremendous roar erupted from behind, the demon’s claw struck the ground, creating a massive crater.
"Huh?!"
"Was it this human who emitted that aura just now?"
The demon murmured in surprise, clearly not expecting that seemingly weak human could explode with such speed.
"Hmm, maybe not."
"It feels like the aura of my kind; another little one cultivating demon skills."
The demon slightly sensed, detecting a strong demonic puppet aura from Lin Zheyu.
At the moment of exposure, Lin Zheyu did not remove the purple-black energy shield. Instead, he frantically absorbed the demonic energy, the golden runes in his body quickly turning purple-black.
Even his flesh appeared to show symptoms of being corroded by demonic energy.
Even while escaping, Lin Zheyu planned to use this aura to confuse the powerful demon, hoping to gain a slim chance of survival.
"Kekekeke..."
"Such a rich aura, another promising seed for my kind..."
The demon smirked sinisterly, no longer attacking Lin Zheyu.
It moved to continue attacking around, hoping to force out the source of that peculiar aura.
That aura made it very uncomfortable.
Yet at the same time, it made it drool. Instinct told it that consuming that person would result in a massive transformation in its strength.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Lin Zheyu moved rapidly, pushing his speed to the limit.
Endless demonic energy surged into his body, and under the erosion of the demonic energy, the golden runes rapidly transformed into purple-black runes.
Waves of purple-black energy surged from Lin Zheyu’s body.
"Huh?!"
"It’s not attacking anymore?"
Noticing that the demon behind him had given up attacking him, a trace of surprise appeared on Lin Zheyu’s face.
Could he really have confused that powerful demon?
"This is..."
The sudden relief made Lin Zheyu hardly believe it.
Without slowing down, he rushed out over a hundred kilometers before finally relaxing.
"It really let me go."
Lin Zheyu was still somewhat in disbelief.
He thought that even if he could escape from the demon, it would come at a great cost, but he unexpectedly achieved it so easily.
This was truly unexpected.
"Could it be because of this?"
Lin Zheyu murmured softly.
He extended his hand, which underwent a weird transformation, swelling and turning purple-black, much like a demonized demon martial artist.
The original golden runes were subtly changing under the erosion of demonic energy, seemingly evolving towards demonic patterns.
While escaping earlier, to confuse the powerful demon, Lin Zheyu frantically absorbed demonic energy, suppressing the golden energy inside his body.
Almost eighty percent of the golden runes in his body had transformed into purple-black runes, and his entire body showed signs of demonization.
"Anyway, at least I survived."
Lin Zheyu sighed in relief.
He completely released the suppression of the golden energy inside him, and with a bang, a tremendous golden energy burst from his blood.
His flesh, which was gradually demonizing due to the erosion of demonic energy, began to reverse and restore to its original state under the influence of this golden energy.
But the process was slow.
Just now, Lin Zheyu absorbed demonic energy recklessly, without any resistance, even actively absorbing it, letting the runes take in the demonic energy.
With the combined action of the special runes inside and demonic energy, the rate of demonization was extremely astonishing.
"Could the sudden stop of attack by that powerful demon be because it discovered the demonization of my body?"
Lin Zheyu speculated.
The only factor on him that could make the demon spare him was the special energy released by the activation of his purple-black runes.
Plus, the frantic absorption of demonic energy to quickly show signs of demonization.
Lin Zheyu felt that perhaps the demonization of his body made the demon feel he was of the same kind.
"If that’s the case, perhaps I can transform my body into a half-demon state and then infiltrate near the spatial node."
"But before that, I need to test it first."
This thought flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.
Last time when he used the teleportation array, he perceived many intricacies of space, but it was not enough.
The void waves emitted during the activation of the teleportation array were too weak, and Lin Zheyu could not derive much from them.
He planned to lurk near the spatial node.
The spatial node, after all, is a special node connecting to the demon lair; perceiving there should reveal many insights.
By applying the insights to his saber skill, he could create a special saber skill and solve the problem of insufficient attack power.
But before that, he needed to first elevate the Primordial Golden Body.
When that time comes, even if he encounters danger, he would have a better chance of surviving.
"I need to find another place."
"Encountering such powerful demons twice in a row, I hope it won’t attract their attention."
Lin Zheyu sighed helplessly.
Demons possess intelligence, and if they communicate with each other, it might indeed raise their alarm.
Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightening.
"Most powerful demons are in the central area; as long as I don’t get too close and stay near the outskirts of the Demon God Barrier, it won’t be too much of an issue."
"By then, even if powerful demons are drawn, I can immediately leave the Demon God Barrier."
"I wonder if these demons will pursue me relentlessly beyond the Demon God Barrier."
Lin Zheyu contemplated silently.
On the outskirts of the Demon God Barrier, there is no demon river near the barrier. It’s okay; it can be created again.
Lin Zheyu carried many storage bags.
By using these storage bags to collect the viscous liquid containing powerful demonic energy from above the demon river and bringing it to the outer area, he could create a small demon lake.
However, this would be rather troublesome.
Almost every increase would require changing the liquid inside.
But compared to his life, such trouble is nothing.
