Hehe~~

The God-devouring Worm let out a call as it flew out.

Its sensing range was very limited, only able to detect anomalies within a hundred-meter radius.

Lin Zheyu saw the God-devouring Worm burrow into a clump of grass, quickly stepped forward, and with a long knife in hand, swept aside the grass.

Gwaah——

Suddenly, a strange cry echoed, and a fist-sized figure darted out from the grass.

Lin Zheyu twisted his wrist, and the blade light instantly sliced through, severing the figure in two.

In an instant, he felt a bizarre energy flow from the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade to his body.

"What the heck?!"

Lin Zheyu’s heart lurched with surprise.

The golden qi blood surged in an instant, encasing the strange energy that had invaded his body.

This energy was extremely weak, with a high level of concealment. Even with Lin Zheyu’s powerful perception, he might not have noticed if he wasn’t careful.

Tss~ Tsstss~

As soon as the strange energy was encased in the golden qi blood, it boiled instantly, as if a drop of water had fallen into a bubbling pot of hot oil.

Lin Zheyu couldn’t afford to worry about the Demon God seed on the ground and quickly closed his eyes, initiating internal vision to observe the movements within his body.

Even when encased by qi blood, the strange energy still resolutely flowed toward Lin Zheyu’s head.

Lin Zheyu swiftly mobilized a large amount of qi blood power to block the strange energy’s path.

Fortunately, as this bizarre energy broke through the layers of qi blood, it gradually got consumed and became smaller and smaller. By the time it reached the chest, it completely disappeared.

Sigh~

Lin Zheyu exhaled deeply.

Finally, it vanished.

The information contained in that bizarre energy was almost the same as what he had sensed on the blood lotus before.

"Is this the power of a God and Demon? Truly strange."

"Other Martial Artists in the Bone Marrow Refining Realm wouldn’t have as powerful qi blood as I do. They probably can’t resist this strange energy."

"What would happen if this strange energy rushed into one’s mind?"

Lin Zheyu pondered.

Fortunately, he hadn’t killed that bizarre tree fused with the blood lotus last time.

That tree was far stronger than this so-called Demon God seed. If it were slain, even stronger bizarre energy might flow into his body.

Then, it would be troublesome.

"These bizarre energies are energy, after all. I wonder about the quality and whether they can be used to boost Source Power..."

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but think.

In his view, although these energies were somewhat bizarre, the essence of the energy they contained should be similar to that of the Spiritual Liquid.

Since the energy in the Spiritual Liquid can be used by him.

Why can’t these bizarre energies be used too?

However, these strange energies seemed to possess life, controlled by a will, not unowned energy.

Lin Zheyu had not experimented before and didn’t know if energy containing spiritual will and ownership could be directly absorbed.

In the future, if he got the chance, he might give it a try.

Clearing his thoughts.

Lin Zheyu looked at the Demon God seed he had just killed.

The so-called Demon God seed was a fist-sized fierce beast. Small as it was, it possessed strong power, at least at the Qi Blood Realm level.

The God-devouring Worm was lying on the corpse, gnawing away at the body.

"The Demon God seed turned out to be a fierce beast."

"Did the fierce beast fuse with something like a blood lotus to become a Demon God seed, or was this fierce beast specifically cultivated to become a Demon God seed?"

Lin Zheyu speculated.

He grabbed the God-devouring Worm away from the Demon God seed’s corpse, and the God-devouring Worm let out a cooing sound, even opening its ferocious mouth, attempting to bite Lin Zheyu’s hand.

But with Lin Zheyu’s strong defense, the little God-devouring Worm’s bites couldn’t even scratch his skin and ended up hurting itself.

Lin Zheyu tentatively touched the corpse with the long knife. Since no strange energy appeared, he crouched down and cautiously touched it with his hand.

After confirming there was no issue, he finally relaxed completely.

He picked up the corpse, split in two, and placed it into the special pouch given by Lei Liwei.

"Though not powerful, the reward is exceedingly generous—just as expected, there’s a catch."

"Finding one Demon God seed grants 50 contribution points, equivalent to hunting down five Bone Marrow Cultivating Realm demon puppets. I wonder if it’s worth it for others."

Lin Zheyu chuckled lightly and shook his head.

Lest he ran into Li Yin later, he should give her a heads-up.

Among the group, Lin Zheyu got along better with Li Yin. Although the others masked their intentions well, they couldn’t escape Lin Zheyu’s keen perception.

He had long noticed their little schemes but chose to ignore them.

Having dealt with the Demon God seed, Lin Zheyu resumed his patrol.

While patrolling only near the defense line, Lin Zheyu found only three fierce beasts, all so-called Demon God seeds, with varying strengths from Qi Blood First Transformation to Fourth Transformation.

They were all very small in size, the largest only as big as a newborn infant, with incredible stealth.

Even Lin Zheyu wouldn’t have detected them without the help of the God-devouring Worm.

Rustle, rustle~~

Roar, roar~~

In the mountains and forests, fierce beasts roamed everywhere, and the roars of demon puppets echoed from time to time.

There were far fewer demon puppet roars than before. Most lurked in hiding and didn’t even come out at night.

As Lin Zheyu passed by a muddy swamp, his lips curled slightly. He lightly tapped his toe and dashed toward the swamp.

With a plop.

The purple blade light flashed, and the sharp long knife cut into the swamp, sending a sinister demon puppet head flying into the sky.

At the same time, the swamp burst open in an instant, though headless, the demon puppet’s body still charged out under its primal urges.
