Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Under his conscious control, the demonic energy did not merge into the meridians or touch the True Essence, but instead surged towards the golden runes covering the surface of his skin.

A few breaths later.

The golden runes emitting a faint golden light grew dimmer until they disappeared.

Not long after, the vanished runes were tinged with an eerie glow.

Under Lin Zheyu’s control, these runes, flickering with the eerie glow, emerged proactively, gathering into a faint energy membrane that covered his entire body.

Boom!

Suddenly, Lin Zheyu’s body reflexively shuddered lightly, and the membrane of eerie glow on his body instantly shattered and vanished.

The runes flickering with golden light reappeared.

”...”

A hint of helplessness flashed across Lin Zheyu’s face.

He took a deep breath and continued with a second attempt.

After the previous attempt, this time was much faster and more adept.

A few breaths later, he failed again.

The third time...

The fourth time...

Sss——

Suddenly, from the viscous black earth not far away, a ferocious demon less than half a meter tall sprang out.

The demon emitted a sharp screech, filled with eerie power, directly reaching Lin Zheyu’s spiritual sea.

However, as soon as it entered the spiritual sea, it was blocked by the layers of defense true meaning.

Swish——

Without even looking at the suddenly appearing demon, Lin Zheyu’s blade light instantly flashed, and the demon was instantly turned into hundreds of pieces of flesh, which fell from midair.

When the demon appeared within a two-kilometer radius, Lin Zheyu was already alert, but he remained unmoved.

Not until the demon launched an attack on him did Lin Zheyu take the initiative to strike.

Compared to killing the nearby demons, studying the devolution of golden runes into eerie glow runes was the most important task.

If he succeeded, Lin Zheyu could use the runes flickering with eerie glow to conceal himself within the Demon God Barrier.

Fifth layer...

Sixth attempt...

...

Lin Zheyu failed time and time again, with each failure substantially extending the duration of his next attempt.

During this process, he consecutively slew eighteen demons that attacked him.

Fortunately, Lin Zheyu was only on the edge of the Demon God Barrier, and the demons appearing around were not strong, with many not even reaching the Grandmaster level.

Time slowly passed.

In the howling wind, Lin Zheyu became fully immersed in studying the golden runes, leaving only about one-third of his awareness to remain vigilant of his surroundings.

Finally!

The sixty-ninth experiment succeeded!

Lin Zheyu was enveloped in a dark purple eerie glow, which even extended to shroud the Setting Sun Blade in his hand.

Under his conscious absorption and control, the rich demonic energy, as it penetrated the skin’s surface, was absorbed by the golden runes on his skin.

Immediately after, Lin Zheyu isolated the golden energy in his blood with True Essence and Spiritual Sense, preventing this golden energy from sensing the devolution of the golden runes and proactively restoring them.

Though the principle was simple, its implementation posed considerable difficulty.

Lin Zheyu only succeeded completely after sixty-eight consecutive failures.

”Interesting, these runes formed an energy system independent of True Essence.”

Gazing at the dark purple eerie glow covering his body, Lin Zheyu’s face showed a look of enormous astonishment.

Even he had not anticipated arriving at such a result.

Initially, Lin Zheyu simply intended to utilize the devolution of the runes to absorb demonic energy and emit the dark purple eerie energy to conceal his life aura.

Unexpectedly, during the research process, the golden runes exhibited a magical effect.

An unending stream of demonic energy entered Lin Zheyu’s body, transformed by the dark purple runes on his skin, condensed into energy with attributes resembling Demon Essence.

This energy, as long as there’s a continuous supply of demonic energy, could be continually generated and maintained.

However, relying solely on the golden runes on the skin, the efficiency was a bit slow.

If the transformed golden runes from demonic energy were too many, they would gradually erode his flesh, infiltrating his blood.

”The characteristic of the golden runes needs to be incorporated into the Primordial Golden Body.”

”If I gain control over these runes, I might just be able to forge an independent, powerful energy operation system apart from True Essence!”

Lin Zheyu’s heart was filled with unparalleled excitement.

This discovery was indeed an unexpected delight.

He gently curved his mouth, taking the first step into the Demon God Barrier.

Under the cover of dark purple energy, all life auras from his body were concealed, emanating an aura strikingly similar to that of demons.

With a thought, Lin Zheyu moved towards a demon three hundred meters away in the right front direction.

The distance between the person and the demon shortened step by step.

Two hundred meters...one hundred meters...fifty meters...until Lin Zheyu walked past the demon, brushing shoulders.

Roar!!

The demon, over two meters long with ferocious spines all over its body, let out a roar.

It lowered its head, sniffed Lin Zheyu’s body, and then turned away.

”Succeeded!”

A smile spread across Lin Zheyu’s face as he watched the departing demon.

All the experimenting and countless failures were worth it, as this concealment effect was far stronger than the Concealing Breath Skill.

The Concealing Breath Skill could only hide his strength but couldn’t conceal his presence or cover his life aura.

Utilizing this method, Lin Zheyu could hide his life aura, disguise himself as a weak demonic puppet, making this journey in the Demon God Barrier much safer.
