Chapter 899 - 304: Jumping Between Heaven and Hell
...
In the dark void filled with turbulent power of rules.
Just after crossing the node rift and entering the Demon Realm, Zhu Tong’en awkwardly traversed back through the node rift.
His figure staggered, almost losing control and falling toward the energy lake below.
Zhu Tong’en’s face turned slightly pale, cold sweat flowing down his forehead.
The energy lake below was not to be taken lightly.
Though Zhu Tong’en’s strength was formidable, rashly entering the energy lake would be an extremely dangerous action.
He did not possess Lin Zheyu’s powerful physique.
"Phew~~"
After stabilizing his stance, Zhu Tong’en let out a long breath, his expression becoming much more relaxed.
"Who the hell is causing chaos in the Demon Realm, attracting so many demons?"
"Judging by the look, those demons won’t be leaving anytime soon."
Zhu Tong’en’s shadowy face appeared even more sinister.
No wonder Senior Fan Hongwei provided so many spirit stones; turns out this space-time node opposite the Demon Realm is so dangerous.
Probably that unlucky martial artist fell into crisis, which forced Senior Fan Hongwei to spend a huge price to invite him.
"The Demon Realm is unreachable for now, better head back first."
Zhu Tong’en held the compass, contemplating silently.
He was just about to put away the compass when his actions paused slightly.
On the tracking compass, a slight vibration occurred.
This vibration only appeared when the target being tracked was very close.
"??"
A hint of doubt flashed through Zhu Tong’en’s mind.
He did not immediately consider that the target might be hiding in this chaotic void.
Who would be crazy enough to hide in this turbulent, chaotic, dangerous void!
The power of rules here was turbulent and chaotic; even Nascent Soul or Divinity Transformation cultivators would find it difficult to comprehend useful rule Tao rhymes.
With the strength of Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation experts, there were much better and more perfect places than this; they would simply not come here.
However, the world is large, and there will always be some strange people and cultivators doing inexplicable things.
Zhu Tong’en had deeply understood this over the years.
After eliminating all impossibilities.
The remaining sole answer, no matter how unbelievable, must be correct!
"That guy is hiding in this chaotic void?!"
"This..."
"For what purpose!"
Upon guessing this possibility, Zhu Tong’en felt uneasy all over.
If not trapped in the Demon Realm, wouldn’t it be better to just leave directly?
Could it be...
"He possesses some special secret treasure that keeps him in this unique void to absorb the chaotic power of rules generated here?!"
Zhu Tong’en immediately conjectured in his mind.
A hint of doubt flashed across his shadowy face.
Mixed with a slight excitement and thrill.
Only such a reason could explain why the other party lingered here for quite some time.
"Secret treasure!"
"My chance has arrived!"
"A secret treasure involving power of rules might allow me to prove the Golden Core!"
Zhu Tong’en thought excitedly.
He initially thought he was only executing an ordinary Demon Realm task; unexpectedly, he encountered such a fine opportunity.
In Zhu Tong’en’s heart, he had already considered that potential secret treasure as his own.
Here, in the unstable space-time node’s chaotic void.
Golden Core cultivators cannot enter.
Here, Zhu Tong’en had great confidence in his strength.
Even among Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Immortal Realm, few could surpass him; let alone this person, a mere brutish martial artist.
"That senior from Lingyun Pavilion only asked me to enter the Demon Realm to bring this martial artist out."
"It appears he does not know the other is hiding in this chaotic void."
"Meaning, the senior from Ling Yun does not know the other possesses this secret treasure."
"Or even if he knows, he’s unaware of the treasure’s effect or form."
"So..."
"This secret treasure is mine!"
On Zhu Tong’en’s face showed a grim smile.
He discreetly glanced down at the compass.
After memorizing Lin Zheyu’s position, he nonchalantly put the compass away.
Though confident in his strength,
Zhu Tong’en still maintained a cautious attitude, showing no trace of contempt.
A lion uses all its might to hunt a rabbit.
This is Zhu Tong’en’s winning formula for surviving numerous dangerous tasks and Staying active in the Immortal Realm.
Woo woo woo~~~
The black wind howled, seeming to grow fiercer.
Zhu Tong’en put away the compass, regaining his somber and gloomy demeanor, continued rushing towards the exit node rift as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, his right hand discreetly moved toward his storage bag...
...
"This guy is coming after me?"
Lin Zheyu looked at the feigning Zhu Tong’en with interest.
When Zhu Tong’en showed an odd look, he noticed something was amiss.
The turbulent chaotic energy and power of rules here greatly suppressed spiritual sense and perception.
But this was relative.
After cultivating two Divine Treasure Skills, Lin Zheyu’s perception improved further.
All of Zhu Tong’en’s expressions, the tracking info on the compass, and his many small gestures were all seen by Lin Zheyu.
He watched Zhu Tong’en’s act as if watching a play.
Indeed, it was quite amusing.
Lin Zheyu had been in this dark, lifeless world for so long, he had long felt incredibly bored.
