Chapter 893 - 302: New Shackles
Boom~~
In a world dominated by black, a terrifying roar suddenly erupted.
A deep purplish-red viscous magma spewed out, shooting straight into the sky.
In the world with bone-chilling black winds howling, as this terrifying magma erupted, the entire world became incredibly scorching.
Whoosh~~
The sound of wings flapping came, as a huge demon covered in tumors, with a figure that appeared slender and graceful, sped from afar.
In Lin Zheyu’s hand, he grasped a large demon.
The demon’s head was blasted apart by his punch, leaving only a headless corpse.
No, it cannot be called a corpse.
The demon’s life force was incredibly strong, even without a head, it still thrashed about lively.
The massive body struggled, and the vitality energy and demonic energy within the demon surged toward the position of the head, attempting to regrow the blasted head.
But no matter how it struggled, it was to no avail.
A powerful purple-black energy surged from Lin Zheyu’s hand, sealing the wound on the demon’s neck, preventing it from regrowing its head.
Although losing its head wouldn’t lead to death.
Yet without a head, the demon’s threat was greatly reduced, leaving only the instinct for survival.
Instinctively, the most important thing was head regeneration, not initiating an attack, thus it posed little threat.
Lin Zheyu flew over two thousand meters, entering a hidden cave he had opened a few days ago.
Around the cave, Lin Zheyu had set up array restrictions that he had specially purchased for use in the Demon World, and their effects were indeed impressive.
Bam!
Thud!
Entering the cave, Lin Zheyu threw the demon’s body on the ground and casually slapped it with his palm.
With a thud, the headless demon’s body was shattered by the terrifying power emanating from Lin Zheyu’s palm.
"What a monstrous life force."
Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but admire as he looked at the demon’s body shattered into five pieces.
The stronger the demon, the more astonishing its life force.
The demon’s blood and flesh, broken into pieces on the ground, continued absorbing the demonic energy in the air, wriggling and slowly assembling.
The speed was not very fast.
Lin Zheyu estimated that if it were to restore to its original state, it would take about a day.
But this was already quite remarkable.
After all, it was directly shattered into five parts and had lost its head. If it were a human cultivator, it would have been dead beyond dead.
This demon was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, its regeneration ability so abnormal that it was almost deemed immortal.
To kill it was no difficult task for Lin Zheyu.
In Lin Zheyu’s previous attack, he used pure brute force and hadn’t used the purple-black energy within him, thus the vitality within the demon’s flesh was well preserved.
If Lin Zheyu used the energy within him to extinguish the vitality in the demon’s flesh, the demon would be utterly dead.
"The Essence Spirit Treasure represents the Martial Artist’s vitality. I wonder if, after opening the Essence Spirit Treasure, I can achieve this terrifying life force,"
Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but think.
His eyes were fixed on the gradually recovering demon body, maximizing his perception, imprinting the flickering demonic markings on the demon’s body into his mind.
Over these days of research, Lin Zheyu discovered that as demons recover from a near-death state, the demonic markings within them operate frantically.
This process is the most suitable for understanding and researching the demonic markings on demons.
Time slowly passed by.
One day... two days... three days passed.
The cave continuously echoed with booming and thudding sounds.
The poor demon, after recovering, was slapped by Lin Zheyu into pieces again and needed to recover once more.
On the third day,
Lin Zheyu found that after continuously killing the demon three times, most of its vitality was extinguished, and its recovery became pathetically slow.
"Merely a pseudo-immortality."
Lin Zheyu looked at the wriggling pieces of flesh on the ground, slightly shaking his head.
But this was just a demon at the Foundation Establishment level; the stronger the demon, the more terrifying its life force.
Lin Zheyu was very curious as to what level demons must reach to achieve the legendary ability of regeneration from a mere drop of blood.
That would be true immortality.
"Having tortured it for so long, it’s quite pitiful. Let me end its suffering."
Lin Zheyu muttered, slapping down with a palm, his hand suffused with terrifying purple-black energy.
Boom!
The cave trembled slightly.
The wriggling demon flesh was instantly turned into a pulp, and the powerful vitality contained within was completely extinguished.
A thought from Lin Zheyu, as the purple-black energy enveloped the lifeless demon flesh, clearing it out of the cave.
"My spirit has recovered sufficiently; it’s time to enter the next round of cultivation."
Lin Zheyu, sensing his condition, spoke to himself.
Nearly twenty days had passed since he entered this time-space node.
During this time, Lin Zheyu was immersed in enhancing his power and researching demonic markings.
After enhancing himself with Source Power and feeling mentally exhausted, he would enter the Demon World, hunting and capturing strong demons for research.
Researching the demonic markings on their bodies and the relationship between the markings and the scales on demons.
Having previously systematically learned the knowledge of demonic markings, Lin Zheyu found his research much more manageable.
However, due to the short time, it was not enough for him to transform the numerous tumor-like lumps on his body into magnificent scale armor.
After spending four or five days in the Demon World until his spirit recovered sufficiently, he continued entering that special space to enhance his power.
