Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises

Roar!

The roars of beasts echoed thunderously through the mountain forest.

The self-destruction of the half-demon unleashed a terrifying storm of demon essence.

This malevolent and eerie energy known as demon essence has an extremely powerful corrosive effect on living beings.

The fierce beasts in a sprint sensed this aura and quickly avoided it.

The air was filled with intense fluctuations of demon essence energy. Lin Zheyu quickly held his breath, circulating the golden Qi blood within his body to heal his wounds.

His back bore the brunt of the half-demon’s explosion and thus suffered the most severe injuries.

Fortunately, Lin Zheyu’s physique was strong, sustaining only superficial wounds without damage to his bones.

These minor injuries would heal quickly if not for the erosion of demon essence.

"The battle consumed less than a third of my Qi blood power, but the storm of demon essence from the half-demon’s self-destruction cost me almost half of it."

"Truly a bizarre energy!"

Lin Zheyu, sensing the rapid consumption of Qi blood energy within himself, deeply appreciated the strength and oddity of demon essence.

Demon essence, more troublesome and sinister than the power of yin fiend, required significant effort from someone like Senior Sister Gu Ye, a Martial Artist with Transforming Force, to rid herself of its essence.

Luckily for Lin Zheyu, his golden Qi blood was far more potent than ordinary Qi blood; otherwise, this situation would have been a real problem.

Bone Marrow Refining Realm martial artists have few effective means against the more evil and powerful demon essence compared to yin fiend power.

Sss—sss—sss—

Black smoke continuously emanated from Lin Zheyu’s body.

The areas corroded by demon essence began to lose their purple tint and return to their original appearance.

Lin Zheyu just checked, and besides the back affected by the explosion, other areas only suffered surface skin erosion, with muscles and membranes unharmed.

The Qi Blood Gauze beneath the skin surface blocked the infiltration of demon essence.

Thanks to this layer of Qi Blood Gauze, recovering from demon essence erosion was much easier.

However, his back, affected by the half-demon’s explosion, had its defenses blown apart, allowing demon essence to erode directly into the muscles and skin.

Around the wound, the distinctive demonic patterns from the half-demon appeared.

"The physique still isn’t strong enough."

Feeling the chilling sensation from his back, Lin Zheyu frowned slightly.

Without defensive true energy, the explosion-affected areas on his back had blurred flesh with the Qi Blood Gauze barrier broken.

Consequently, the erosion of demon essence was most severe on his back.

The flesh around the wound lost sensation entirely.

A massive golden Qi blood surged into his back, resisting the erosion of demon essence.

Lin Zheyu stretched his right hand behind to easily grab and tear off the corroded flesh.

"Such strong corrosiveness, it actually demonicized instantly."

Seeing the flesh torn from his wound, Lin Zheyu’s expression grew heavy.

The flesh seemed to be evolving towards a demonic puppet, similar to when a beast in Dabashan was placed in an array of yin fiend energy for some time and changed.

However, that beast was weak and, in dense yin fiend power for some time, only then began to evolve.

Its physique was incomparable to Lin Zheyu’s current body.

Lin Zheyu’s physique, even without Qi blood power, could rival the weakest Transforming Force martial artist.

Yet against demon essence erosion, within moments, the flesh demonicized instantly.

The demon essence from the half-demon was far more sinister than yin fiend power.

Lin Zheyu didn’t hesitate at all.

He took out a dagger from his pocket and turned to cut away the flesh around the deadened wounds on his back.

In an instant, blood mixed with a thick purple-black liquid flowed from the wound.

But soon, Lin Zheyu controlled his back muscles to wriggle, halting the blood flow instantly, leaving only the hideous wound on his back.

A large amount of golden Qi blood surged out, covering the wound, with purple-black smoke sizzling.

"Fortunately, it was just a half-demon, not much demon essence in its body."

"If it were a pure demon, a large amount of demon essence would be quite the trouble."

Lin Zheyu murmured to himself.

As a half-demon, Duan Ping had limited demon essence in his body.

The energy within him was mostly a peculiar energy formed by combining yin fiend power with Qi blood, life elemental power, and other energies.

Demon Martial Artist and half-demons have no true energy, only Qi blood and life elemental power.

They somehow combined Qi blood with life elemental power and yin fiend power, keeping a balance to form a powerful energy comparable to true energy.

This is the primary energy within a half-demon.

If this energy were entirely converted to demon essence, it might mark their complete transformation into demons.

After a simple treatment of his wounds, Lin Zheyu didn’t linger.

He quickly arrived at the Demon Martial Artist’s body.

Black and red energy was continually emanating from Zhang Mo’s body, still retaining activity.

Searching the body for a while, Lin Zheyu stuffed everything he found into his waist pouch and left immediately.

As for the half-demon, the explosion had either destroyed or scattered the items beyond recognition.

Roar!

Roar! Roar!

The roars of beasts constantly echoed around.

Lin Zheyu transformed into a shadowy figure, swiftly weaving through the group of fierce beasts.

The strongest of these beasts were only around the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, which was insignificant to Lin Zheyu.
