Puff—

Lin Zheyu casually slaughtered a demon puppet and continued rushing out of the mountain forest.

He felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

Lin Zheyu didn’t know the level of strength of the young Observatory member among cultivators, but it should be quite formidable.

Having just killed a cultivator gave him great encouragement.

What about cultivators.

If they’re human, they can be killed.

It’s just relatively difficult to kill them.

If not for preventing future trouble, Lin Zheyu would have considered capturing and interrogating him.

Unfortunately, the risk was too great.

After leaving the Demon God Barrier, Lin Zheyu originally wanted to return directly to Wuling City.

But after some thought, he abandoned the idea.

He needed to hide nearby for a while, pretending to be in distress and forced to break through to the Huajin level.

Rustle~~

A gentle breeze swept through.

After the Demon God Barrier appeared, the concentration of the sinister force in the mountain forest quickly decreased. Outside the Demon God Barrier, the number of demon puppets also dwindled.

The existence of the Demon God Barrier locked the sinister force within, transforming the inside into a land of demons.

Within the barrier, cultivators who rely on spiritual energy would be severely affected.

Demon puppets, which rely on the sinister force and lack intelligence, would not leave the Demon God Barrier if not controlled, only driven by instinct.

Lin Zheyu rushed towards the depths of the mountain forest along the Demon God Barrier.

"What exactly is this mysterious light screen?"

"Array?"

"Or barrier?"

"Is this thing made using the magic seeds?"

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

As he moved forward and pushed his sensing domain to the limit, Lin Zheyu discovered many interesting things.

Magic seeds are very mysterious, unable to be detected by the sensing domain, but Lin Zheyu had the God-devouring Worm.

This special creature is extremely sensitive to the aura of magic seeds.

With the help of the God-devouring Worm, Lin Zheyu discovered that near the Demon God Barrier, the number of magic seeds was astonishing.

These magic seeds were distributed and arranged in a unique pattern, continuously emitting mysterious energy fluctuations.

The deeper he went, the more terrifying the pressure Lin Zheyu felt.

He looked up, the sky was pitch black, devoid of any light.

In the mountain forest, you couldn’t see your hand in front of you; without the sensing domain, even a martial artist would be unable to move in such an environment.

"I guess I’ll stay here, it seems increasingly dangerous ahead."

After traveling over three hundred kilometers, Lin Zheyu stopped.

The scope of the Demon God Barrier was frighteningly large; despite advancing more than three hundred kilometers, he still hadn’t seen its end.

He could only sense that the energy contained within the barrier was becoming increasingly terrifying, and the intense pressure made his heart palpitate.

Puff—

Suddenly, a blade flashed, and a demon puppet lunging at Lin Zheyu had its head roll forward, its roar abruptly ceased.

It was already near the time-space node, and although there was the Demon God Barrier, the concentration of sinister force outside was still alarmingly high.

Lin Zheyu found a concealed place nearby to hide.

"Ink Jade Disc..."

"Is there any way to block the Ink Jade Disc?"

Lin Zheyu frowned.

He had encountered crises several times, the opponents tracking his location through the Ink Jade Disc; even when he changed his appearance, they could still find him.

After learning the principle of the Ink Jade Disc last time, he began to pay attention to this issue.

"I wonder if True Essence can clear the aura from items..."

"If the problem with the Ink Jade Disc cannot be resolved, even changing appearance and hiding won’t prevent them from finding him."

"Strange, how did I provoke them?"

"Could it be they’ve discovered my secret?" Lin Zheyu felt a strong sense of crisis.

The methods of cultivators and those cultists were too mysterious; if they had a way to detect his rapid increase in power, it was not impossible.

"No, that’s not right."

"Among the group from the Observatory, the leader was another man."

"That person should be the strongest among them. Even he didn’t discover my anomaly, and the weaker one I killed shouldn’t have been able to detect it." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"But if it wasn’t because they’d discovered my secret, there’s no reason for them to target me..."

"Not only him, but also the group from the Demon Celestial Palace..."

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself, eager for greater strength.

A man without sin, harboring a jewel invites crime.

But as long as his strength was sufficient, he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone’s covetous looks.

Whoosh~~

Time slowly passed.

Lin Zheyu operated Turtle Breath True Skill and Sacred Inference Spirit Skill, nurturing his heart and mind.

These two cultivation techniques were the most effective for restoring the spirit and soul among the ones he practiced.

Boom!!!

After an unknown amount of time, terrifying energy fluctuations suddenly appeared in the heavens and earth.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes abruptly, looking toward the direction of the energy ripples.

Boundless darkness enveloped the entire mountain forest, so he couldn’t see the situation outside the sensing domain. He could only sense a terrifying, evil aura, like a strong presence from hell, rapidly expanding.

Sensing this aura, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but spawn all sorts of violent, evil thoughts.

But he quickly snapped out of it.

Quickly utilizing his true intention, he dispelled the bad thoughts in his heart.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Has the time-space node been completely opened, releasing terrifying demons?"

Lin Zheyu murmured softly, feeling incredibly shocked.
