Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Attracted a large number of demon beasts.

Moo!

A creature, entirely pitch black, covered in menacing scales, with a triangular head adorned with two tiny protrusions, and densely packed spikes behind its head, spread out like a peacock displaying its feathers.

As the demon beast roared, its head trembled violently, and the spikes shot out, piercing through the void at extreme speed.

Crash!

Lin Zheyu sprang out of the demon river, his form instantly transforming into multiple phantoms, deploying his masterfully honed Body Technique to easily evade the dense spikes.

Boom!

Golden light burst forth from his body, Lin Zheyu’s muscles swelled, and his right fist smashed towards the demon beast’s head.

”Huh?!”

Suddenly, Lin Zheyu’s form came to an abrupt halt, his fist frozen in mid-air.

Magic Jiao Bull!

Lin Zheyu immediately recognized this demon beast as one with the characteristics of both a flood dragon and a bull, possessing immense value.

In the market outside Ruyang City, it was offered for 300 low-grade Spirit Stones.

”The Magic Jiao Bull is entirely valuable, if I punch it to pieces, its value would greatly diminish.”

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

While retreating swiftly, his right hand swiftly slapped his storage bag, and the Setting Sun Blade appeared in his hand.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

In an instant, golden blade light swept forward like a giant dense net towards the Magic Jiao Bull.

Moo!

The Magic Jiao Bull let out a roar, its body collapsing like a disassembled machine, falling to the ground, shattered into pieces of flesh.

The pieces of flesh quivered, attempting to reassemble, but the faint golden energy lingering at the wounds prevented them from coming together.

”This golden energy is truly mysterious!”

Lin Zheyu admired the pieces of flesh moving across the ground silently.

The golden energy did not enhance Lin Zheyu’s strength as his True Essence did; its true power lay in its extremely strong restraining effect on demonic energy.

”Damn, a big one is coming!”

Lin Zheyu’s expression suddenly changed, the thin veil of dark purple energy covering him became immensely dense.

With a swift motion, his form swept up the scattered demon beast parts into his storage bag as if sweeping fallen leaves in a storm.

He then immediately vanished from the spot.

A few breaths later.

The terrifying roar reverberated, shaking the entire space and causing massive dark tide waves to rise in the demon river.

A massive demon beast, over ten meters long, leaped from the sky, its immense pressure making the surrounding demon beasts tremble in fear.

”Disappeared again?”

The demon beast landed where Lin Zheyu had just slain the Magic Jiao Bull, revealing a humanoid expression, murmuring softly in a strange language.

Its massive perception spread out, scanning the entire space repeatedly, but it could no longer find the previous aura.

”Not strong, but carrying an annoying aura...”

”This matter must be reported to the lord, maybe those annoying bald heads have sent another strong one.”

The demon beast muttered.

With a leap, it disappeared into the sky.

”Ah ah!”

From the direction the demon beast left, a few screams echoed, as if some unfortunate cultivators were discovered and casually slaughtered.

...

Sigh~~~~

Feeling the strong aura fade away, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

He patted the demon beast submerged in the nearby swamp and smiled, ”Thanks!”

This demon beast’s species was unknown, lacking any aggression.

Lin Zheyu’s disguise wasn’t perfect, the stronger the demon beast, the easier it was for his disguise to be seen through.

Thus, he intentionally sought out a strong demon beast to stay beside and use its aura to conceal himself.

Thankfully, it allowed him to blend in smoothly.

”Can’t stay here, need to find another place.”

With a flicker of his form, Lin Zheyu quickly disappeared from the spot.

He didn’t dare to fully expand his perception domain, fearing to attract that terrifying demon beast again.

Just sensing the aura of such a terrifying demon beast, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

”Six-Striped Demon Fiend, as powerful as those at the Golden Elixir Layer, is it?”

”What level have my powers reached now, and how far am I from the Golden Elixir?”

Moving swiftly through the darkness, Lin Zheyu pondered his own strength.

Having cultivated numerous Demon Skills and Body Refining Techniques, his powers had made great leaps.

With just his strong physique defense, he could easily withstand attacks from the Foundation Establishment layer; even previous Lin Zheyu using the Blood Burning Saber Skill couldn’t heavily injure him now.

This shows how terrifying the enhancement from those Demon Skills and Body Refining Techniques was to Lin Zheyu’s strength.

Yet, even so, Lin Zheyu isn’t confident he can contend against a strong being at the Golden Elixir layer.

...

After escaping quite a distance, Lin Zheyu finally relaxed a little.

Having consumed twenty units of Source Power today, his spirit and soul were somewhat fatigued, making it unsuitable to continue pushing on.

He planned to search the Demon God Barrier for precious herbs and rare demon beasts.

In the past ten days, he had found quite a few rare demon beasts and precious herbs, which, if sold, could yield at least two or three middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Woo woo woo~~~

In the darkness, a fierce wind howled.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

In the darkness, dark purple blade light flashed, effortlessly slicing a demon beast with a dozen tentacles and a menacing head resembling a human face into several pieces.

In Lin Zheyu’s body, the golden energy contained a strong and strange aura, to which the demon beasts were extremely sensitive.
