Chapter 1096: Perfection

“Someone is watching me in the dark!”

Entering the array hub, Lin Zheyu frowned slightly and said to himself.

This feeling of being watched was not something he sensed for the first time.

The peering just now was probably not from that Divinity Transformation expert; that expert only used his divine sense to sweep when Lin Zheyu entered or exited a time-space node.

Seemingly, it was to prevent any unforeseen changes due to Lin Zheyu’s comings and goings.

And the peering just now was absolutely not from that Divinity Transformation expert.

The other party’s surveillance was very secretive; even with the use of the Celestial Eye, Lin Zheyu still couldn’t catch any traces.

The only way this could be achieved, aside from that Divinity Transformation expert using a secret technique, was if other cultivators used the abilities of an array to reach this level.

“Who could it be?”

“Si Tianyun? Or Mo Qingyang?”

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

For more than half a year in the demon cave, he kept a low profile: cultivating, guarding the array hub, and occasionally wandering into the time-space node.

Usually, he only had more interactions with people from the Martial Alliance, while others were mere acquaintances, not very familiar.

Needless to say, he would not become enemies with them.

“No, perhaps it’s not them.”

“My frequent visits to the time-space node might have drawn attention from some interested parties; they surely suspect I carry a special secret.”

Lin Zheyu muttered to himself.

This is a cruel world where the weak are prey to the strong.

Innocence is a crime if you possess something valuable.

With the Martial Alliance’s strength, if there really is a powerful secret or treasure on him, they simply can’t protect it.

At least, the Si Family and the Mo Family have strength not weaker than the Martial Alliance.

The Lingxiao Sword Sect behind Mu Jianying, and the Yao Family behind Yao Lang, also aren’t inferior to the Martial Alliance.

Although the Martial Alliance has a strong figure comparable to Divinity Transformation stationed, Qin Hu has issues in his cultivation and is at the bottom among the Divinity Transformation.

In the top tier forces, the Martial Alliance is just a force with a bottom-of-the-line Divinity Transformation powerhouse.

Even.

Compared to forces with ancient heritage and those mastering unique secret techniques or spiritual treasures, they are somewhat lacking.

“Here, even if those with ill intentions exist, they dare not act rashly.”

“As long as I have a bit more time, I’ll be able to cultivate the Chaos True Skill to perfection, breaking through the second shackle.”

“By then, with the Primordial Pool, even when facing Divinity Transformation… no, Divinity Transformation is a bit too ambitious; however, when facing the peak Nascent Soul, I should be able to escape calmly.”

Lin Zheyu thought privately.

He took a deep breath, clearing distracting thoughts from his mind.

Seated cross-legged at the array hub, he cleared his mind, extending his spiritual sense into the Primordial Pool, and began to comprehend the Witch Race’s classics within the bone charm.

The Chaos True Skill, after all, incorporates many Witch Tao ideas and cultivation methods.

With the improvement of the cultivation technique, Lin Zheyu’s comprehension of witchcraft has grown, enabling him to understand more of the knowledge and classics.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

Rumble!

Suddenly.

A terrifying roar emerged from the time-space node, and Lin Zheyu abruptly opened his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and his right hand pressed onto the array hub.

“It’s happening again!”

Lin Zheyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, as an unsettling feeling rose in his heart.

Since he sensed that obscure presence on the city wall last time, a faint sense of crisis had been lingering within him.

As time went by, this sense of crisis hadn’t diminished; instead, it grew increasingly intense.

Rumble rumble!

A terrifying battle fluctuation emerged from the time-space node.

The golden Celestial Eye in Lin Zheyu’s sea of consciousness opened, unexpectedly capturing the silhouette of a woman dressed in red, long hair flowing, stepping into the time-space node.

“Is this woman the Divinity Transformation expert!”

This thought flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.

The woman was beautiful, like a blazing flame; when Lin Zheyu looked at her, he felt a burning sensation in his eyes.

He quickly averted his gaze.

Yet.

The woman seemed to perceive Lin Zheyu’s peering and, before stepping into the time-space node, turned her head to gaze lightly in Lin Zheyu’s direction.

Her eyes were deep, with black pupils at the center, as if a blazing flame was burning within.

‘Interesting, a spirit divine technique, is it?’

‘A mere Shackled Realm Martial Artist, with awakened spirit divine technique, can see my divine soul, this kid’s spirit divine technique is rather extraordinary.’

‘I didn’t expect such a spectacular Martial Artist could emerge from the small Martial Alliance.’

This thought flashed through the woman’s mind.

She merely glanced at Lin Zheyu before retracting her gaze and disappeared outside the time-space node.

With the woman’s entry, the violent node void became even more terrifying.

Time-space nodes are areas where the wills of two worlds clash, and when various rule energies reach a critical point, a temporary stable, yet chaotic and violent state, occurs.

But this stability is only temporary.

Inside the node void, the massive accumulated rule energies are like a huge powder keg, waiting to explode at any moment.

The stronger the entrant, the easier it is to provoke the violent rule energies within the node void.

…

Roar roar!

Outside the time-space node, the roars of demons echoed from the node.

Soon after, a demon army surged through the node cracks, entering the first array defense line.

Lin Zheyu and Zong Linjing were no longer novices facing the demon army for the first time.

It was their second encounter.

With the experience from last time, the two were much more composed, handling the grand array with greater proficiency.

Each demon was torn apart under the sword light, turning into a mass of demon flesh and blood, which quickly lost its vitality in the roasting of the Heaven-Burning Array.
