Chapter 639: Chapter 228: True Essence Transformation

Wo Yi’s lips curled into a faint cold smile.

He was in a good mood, not having to enter the Demon God Barrier, leaving him with an extra Divine Power Crystal.

The value of the Divine Power Crystal was substantial, even for him, as he had only a few, saved up from years of frugality in the blessed land.

Whoosh——

Wo Yi’s figure flickered, heading in Lin Zheyu’s direction under the guidance of the Ink Jade Disc.

Rustle~~

Boom boom——

"Go to hell!"

"Even in death, I’ll drag you all to hell with me!"

A man’s deathly roar echoed from the forest.

At this moment, he was already severely injured, with multiple wounds inflicted by demon puppets festering and blackening, as the power of Yin energy invaded his body.

Whoosh——

Just as he was frantically mobilizing his Qi Blood, preparing for a final lethal battle, a sharp purple blade light appeared in an instant.

Puff puff puff——

The sound of slicing continued, the purple blade light as swift as lightning, its speed unbelievable.

In a flash, the demon puppets surrounding the man had their heads flying into the sky, even their bodies were instantly cut into multiple pieces.

Rustle~

Rustle rustle~~

The gentle breeze blew, and the man felt the forest suddenly quiet down, only the rustling of leaves could be heard.

He stared blankly at the demon puppet corpses shattered across the ground, overwhelmed by the intense stench and nauseating odor.

"I... I’m not dead!"

"I’ve been saved!"

"Wah... I’ve been saved!"

The man couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.

He had already prepared himself for death, unexpectedly rescued by a sudden arrival of a strong figure.

After crying for a couple of seconds, he quickly stopped, his trembling hands reaching into his pocket to take out three bottles of different elixirs to restore his energy and treat his wounds.

From the occurrence of the incident until now, he had been fighting relentlessly, without a chance to catch his breath.

Now, with almost all the demon puppets nearby slayed by Lin Zheyu, he finally had a moment to breathe.

Bang——

Lin Zheyu pushed off forcefully, disappearing from his spot like a cannonball.

Along the way, he had saved many people but never surfaced to meet them.

All Lin Zheyu could do was lend a hand to save those he encountered; whether they survived was up to fate.

"The power of Yin energy in the forest is increasingly intense, could it spread to Wuling City..."

"If it spreads to Wuling City, it might bring about a disaster this time."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Though the human body has a natural barrier, it only slows down the erosion of Yin energy and doesn’t completely block it.

What’s more, when the concentration of Yin energy rises, various plants will be eroded by it.

Once other living creatures consume these plants, they will absorb considerable Yin energy.

Though there’s no immediate life threat, it could lead to various diseases and potentially evolve into epidemics or plagues.

"I hope the Great Wei authorities have a way to handle this..."

Lin Zheyu thought secretly.

The populace is the source of faith for Great Wei, he believes the Great Wei would never stand by and watch a large number of its population perish.

Roar!

Puff——

Before the demon puppet could make a sound, a sharp blade sliced through its throat.

Another demon puppet has fallen under Lin Zheyu’s blade.

Unfortunately, despite slaying so many demon puppets, he couldn’t take them back for contribution points.

Otherwise, Lin Zheyu’s rewards would be incredibly substantial.

The Huajin Level’s advancement and the condensation of True Essence consume an immense amount of energy.

The Spiritual Liquid Lin Zheyu had previously accumulated was entirely depleted.

Of the three Spirit Stones in reserve, one had all its energy exhausted, leaving only worthless filthy energy.

Among the remaining two, one was intact and the other presumably had less than one-fifth of its energy left.

"Strange, why haven’t I encountered any Demon Celestial Palace guys, weren’t they very active..." Lin Zheyu muttered softly.

The Transforming Force Martial Artists of the Demon Celestial Palace were quite wealthy, each carrying at least two or more Spirit Stones.

Compared to Spiritual Liquid, Lin Zheyu still preferred Spirit Stones.

Not only because Spirit Stones contain more energy, but also because they are more convenient to use.

Whish whish——

Lin Zheyu continued forward.

After casually killing the demon puppets he encountered, he proceeded to rush out of the forest.

The battles in the distance were becoming increasingly terrifying, with mighty energy fluctuations and terrifying laws pressure even scaring Lin Zheyu from afar.

His level was still far from reaching that of a true peak powerhouse.

"Oh?"

"What is this thing!"

Lin Zheyu halted before a mysterious light screen exuding an eerie aura.

From the light screen, he sensed an intense aura of the Demon God.

Frowning slightly, he moved his feet and disappeared from the spot.

Reappearing, he had in hand a vicious beast that had luckily survived.

Lin Zheyu hurled the beast towards the light screen, and it passed through without any hindrance, landing outside.

It yelped a few times and quickly got back on its feet, fleeing towards the forest edge.

"No danger!"

Once he confirmed there was no danger, Lin Zheyu finally felt at ease.

Against the bizarre means of celestial and demon gods, Lin Zheyu had to be cautious.

He channeled his True Essence, forming a True Essence Shield on his skin’s surface, then lifted his foot and stepped forward, passing through the light screen without obstruction.

"Out..."

"So it was this energy light screen that restricted the spread of Yin energy, enhancing its concentration in the forest."

The realization flashed in Lin Zheyu’s mind.

His previous concern about the spread of Yin energy to Wuling City was entirely unnecessary.

"Heh heh..."

"You brat finally came out, I’ve been waiting for you a long time."

A sinister cold laugh echoed, and a familiar figure appeared before Lin Zheyu.

Wo Yi gazed coldly at Lin Zheyu, a disdainful smile on his face.

"I am Lin Zheyu, greetings, sir."

"May I know why you have been waiting for me, sir?"

Lin Zheyu smiled slightly, speaking as though nothing was out of the ordinary.

Yet his heart was filled with vigilance, secretly channeling his True Essence, ready to launch a lethal strike at any moment.
