Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

The Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend truly lives up to its reputation for defense.

The defense of this Six-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend before him was insanely tough.

Only by unleashing his most powerful attack did Lin Zheyu barely manage to break through this demon fiend’s defense.

In the Demon Realm, Lin Zheyu had no way to use Spatial Rule Power; if even his strongest strike couldn’t pierce the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s defenses,

then Lin Zheyu could only turn around and run immediately.

Luckily, it worked.

And Lin Zheyu still had the golden Celestial Eye as support, allowing him to locate the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s fatal weakness.

While breaking through the demon fiend’s defense, he also severed the flow of energy within its body, instantly collapsing its combat strength.

Otherwise, given the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s powerful defense and monstrous regeneration, if the battle dragged on, it would be extremely unfavorable for Lin Zheyu.

Puff, puff—

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Silver-white cold gleams kept slicing across the void.

After its defense was broken and its internal energy flow cut off, this Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend was no longer anything to fear.

Qi Blood roared within his body.

The blade’s speed reached the extreme, constantly streaking through the void.

Powerful golden energy and Qi Blood Energy poured along the long blade into the demon fiend’s body.

The edge followed along the trajectory of the Demonic Pattern’s energy flow, powerful energy pouring out as it passed, directly wrecking the energy circulation within the demon fiend.

With no energy to maintain it,

the demon fiend’s powerful defense weakened sharply in an instant.

Lin Zheyu’s speed grew faster and faster.

The Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s shrill roars grew weaker and weaker, the emotion in its eyes shifting from fear to despair.

It could feel the Life Force within its body rapidly draining away.

This human in front of it had used some unknown, bizarre method to directly cut off the energy flow inside its body.

Boom!

Splurt!

After chopping the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend into eight pieces, Lin Zheyu slammed out a fierce punch with his left hand, instantly blasting its head apart.

The demon fiend’s roar cut off abruptly.

”Done.”

”A Six-Striped Demon Fiend indeed—it cost me quite a bit of effort.”

Lin Zheyu muttered under his breath.

This battle gave Lin Zheyu a much clearer grasp of his current strength.

The golden Celestial Eye was extremely powerful.

Thanks to the Celestial Eye’s formidable ability, Lin Zheyu now possessed the power to see through an opponent’s weaknesses and thereby challenge across realms.

Lin Zheyu estimated that with his current strength, he should be able to contend with Cultivators or demon fiends at the Mid Stage of Golden Elixir.

If he faced a Cultivator at the Early Stage of Golden Elixir, as long as they weren’t carrying overly powerful Magical Treasures, Lin Zheyu could rely on the Celestial Eye’s ability to instantly cut them down.

As for the Mid Stage of Golden Elixir,

Lin Zheyu wasn’t very familiar with the strength of Cultivators at the Mid Stage of Golden Elixir.

But even if he couldn’t win, he was confident he could escape from their hands.

Within the void spaces of his three Divine Treasure realms, the vast stored energy granted Lin Zheyu extremely strong endurance and a Life Force as powerful as a demon fiend’s.

He still couldn’t do what demon fiends could—turn into a pile of meat scraps and yet recover.

But as long as it wasn’t a one-hit kill, as long as his brain wasn’t blasted apart in an instant,

Lin Zheyu didn’t even need to use Source Power to recover; he could rely on the massive vitality force stored in his Essence Spirit Treasure to rapidly heal.

Hoo~~~

The cold wind howled past, the demon fiend’s foul, bloody stench spreading out.

Lin Zheyu didn’t dare linger here.

The aura of a powerful demon fiend was different from that of ordinary ones; this place would likely soon draw in other powerful demon fiends.

Lin Zheyu swiftly put away his long blade, grabbed the demon fiend’s writhing corpse with both hands, his figure flickered, and he vanished from where he stood in an instant.

The ripples from the battle just now were a bit too large.

Lin Zheyu had no desire to kill one Six-Striped Demon Fiend only to draw several more.

He was impatient to drag this headless demon fiend corpse off to some hidden spot and carefully study the Demonic Patterns on its body.

This was a Demon Demonic Pattern at the Six-Stripe Golden Elixir Layer!

It was precisely what Lin Zheyu most desired—the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s Demonic Pattern!

”My luck’s not bad.”

”I thought I wouldn’t be able to bait out a Six-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend, but just as I was about to directly advance, this demon fiend showed up.”

Gripping the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s headless corpse, a faint smile touched the corner of Lin Zheyu’s mouth.

The stronger the demon fiend, the more valuable the Demonic Patterns on its body.

Lin Zheyu had deliberately delayed opening up the Third Layer of Primordial Golden Body because he wanted to see if he could bait out a Six-Striped Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend.

He hadn’t expected that he really did manage to hook one.

And this time, only a single one appeared.

He had to admit, his luck was truly outstanding.

Roar!

Roar, roar~~

Not long after Lin Zheyu left, the demon fiend’s foul, bloody stench drew in several powerful demon fiends.

For Lin Zheyu, the stench was utterly foul; for demon fiends, however, it was filled with a sweet fragrance.

A few more minutes passed.

A demon fiend whose whole body bristled with savage spikes, with two rugged black horns jutting from its head, resembling some mutating crocodile abomination, slowly emerged from the void.

It was precisely the demon fiend that had appeared together with the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend earlier.

Sniffing the lingering scent in the air, it examined the battle traces at the scene.

There weren’t many marks; it was clear the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend had been killed almost instantly, without any semblance of real struggle.

This was utterly inconceivable.

Given demon fiends’ powerful Life Force and the Purple Fire Qilin Demon Fiend’s formidable defense, no matter how strong the opponent, it shouldn’t have fallen so quickly.

”Did he carry a powerful Magical Treasure on him?”

”No wonder he dared enter the Demon Realm alone, and even recklessly let loose that powerful living aura.”

”Most likely he came to the Demon Realm specifically to hunt powerful demon fiends like us.”

”And he’s clearly targeting demon fiends of Five Stripes and above.”
