Chapter 457: Demonic Patterns (I)
In the boundless darkness, demonic qi surged as raging winds howled. The demonic river flowed steadily, neither fast nor slow, yet it churned with a constant rushing sound. Hideous yaos drifted within the river. Suddenly, a brilliant golden light burst forth in the endless dark, and a powerful vitality swept outward in all directions. The roaming yaos caught its scent like moths to a flame. Their twisted faces turned frenzied as they charged forward without hesitation.True origin coursed through Lin Zheyu's body as dazzling lightning and searing flames erupted from him. This lightning came from the Thunderfire true intent contained within his true origin, a special effect it carried. When he had just broken through, these effects greatly boosted his combat strength. But as his power increased, their impact diminished. Compared to the core energy of true origin, these effects became far less significant.
These effects were like tasteless scraps. Not worth using, yet hard to discard. Now they only provided slight assistance during cultivation and barely mattered in battle. Vast mysterious energy surged through him, drawing in the energy of the demonic river. Demonic qi energy circulated within his body with constant sizzling sounds.
Under the influence of the mysterious energy, golden runes formed within his flesh out of nothing. Their numbers grew denser and denser, strengthening his physique further. Under his control, the runes slowly shifted within his flesh, as if forming a strange and mysterious pattern.
The cries of the yaos drew closer. As Lin Zheyu's strength rose, his vitality surged rapidly, driving the surrounding yaos into greater frenzy.
The yao closest to Lin Zheyu was about to strike when his eyes snapped open, a flash of lightning flickering within them. His immense vitality vanished in an instant, and a purple-black energy surged out, covering his entire body.
He leapt up from the demonic river and launched a simple, unadorned punch at the charging yao. Its roar cut off instantly. With a loud bang, it exploded like fireworks, black blood mist scattering through the air.
Lin Zheyu moved like a phantom through the darkness and his fists struck without pause. Drawn by the powerful vitality released during his recent breakthrough, the yaos burst apart one after another like fireworks, exploding into clouds of black embers.
"Another big one!" Lin Zheyu frowned. After blasting apart the yao before him with a punch, he turned sharply and vanished into the distant darkness.
As his strength continued to grow, the vitality around him became increasingly terrifying. When he used Origin Force to enhance himself, the concealment technique and the disguise formed by the purple-black runes lost control and could no longer be maintained. Once his powerful vitality erupted, it would inevitably attract even stronger yaos from the surroundings.
