Lu Chen confirmed decisively without any hesitation.
Boom!
As his thoughts fell, the number Demon Devil Lifespan on System Panel instantly dropped sharply.
[1874...1774...1674...1574!]
A full 300 years of life is thrown into the furnace like fuel, burning brightly.
A huge, pure, and extremely mysterious flow of information rushed into his mind like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky!
It is no longer a simple Cultivation Method Mnemonic, but countless runes about breath simulation, light and shadow refraction, soul isolation, and energy disguise, which are perfectly integrated, sublimated, and recreated with his original martial arts knowledge!
After an unknown amount of time, when the flow of information subsided, a brand new and unprecedented secret technique, its refining and use methods, had been completely mastered by him in an instant like an innate instinct.
Turtle Breath Shadow Talisman!
This is not a simple talisman, but a special living talisman.
It needs to use special animal skin containing Demon Power as the carrier, and use its own internal power and soul power as ink to draw the core runes.
After activation, this talisman can be perfectly integrated with the user's breath and even soul fluctuations, forming a "mimetic barrier" around the body that can move at will.
This barrier can not only distort light to achieve visual concealment, but also actively simulate the energy fluctuations, temperature, and even sound of the surrounding environment, allowing the user to completely integrate into the environment, as if they have never existed.
Its effect is far beyond that of a simple breath-containing technique or an invisibility charm!
[Demon Devil Lifespan remaining: 1574 years.]
Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the light flashed away. He immediately took out the intact piece of Vengeful Fox fur that he had previously traded from Clerk Chen from Storage Bag.
This piece of fur was originally intended to be used in exchange for merit, but at this moment, it had a more important purpose.
He pointed like a knife, and with his internal energy flowing, he began to draw quickly and accurately on the smooth fur.
His movements were smooth and fluid, as if he had practiced them thousands of times.
After a while, a piece of Turtle Breath Shadow Talisman, which shone with a faint light and had mysterious and complex runes, was successfully refined!
Lu Chen picked up the talisman and put it directly on his chest without any hesitation.
Buzz!
The talisman seemed to come to life, blending into his skin instantly and disappearing.
The next moment, a miracle happened.
Lu Chen stood in the shadow of the secret room. His figure, his breath, and all traces of his existence disappeared without a trace in an instant!
He was like a drop of water melting into the sea, or a leaf falling into the forest, completely integrated with the surrounding shadows and air, and could no longer be perceived.
Lu Chen clenched his fists, feeling the unprecedented concealment effect, and a cold edge flashed in his eyes.
"Rebirth Hall...Judge..."
"Let me see what you are planning."
The night became darker and darker. A shadow that no one could detect quietly left the mansion and merged into the boundless darkness of Nanling Prefecture.
Midnight is the deepest hour of the night.
In Nanling Prefecture West Market, the grocery store named Four Seas Trading has long been closed. The dark door panel did not move at all in the night wind, and it looked no different from the hundreds of shops around it.
A shadow invisible to the naked eye, like a wisp of smoke, passed silently over the not-so-high courtyard wall, without making a sound of wind or disturbing a fallen leaf.
Finally, it lurked in the shadow of the roof of the main house in the backyard.
It is Lu Chen.
The powerful effect of Turtle Breath Shadow Talisman exceeded his imagination.
At this moment, he was almost integrated with the tiles on the roof, the cold night wind, and the deep darkness.
Even he himself, if he could not clearly perceive his own existence, would probably think that there was nothing here.
Lu Chen Concentrate your mind and sink your senses below.
Immediately, he realized that there was a cave underneath this small grocery store.
An underground space shrouded by some kind of isolation formation is emitting faint energy fluctuations.
Several cold, strange and powerful auras are gathering in the underground space.
Although some of them were weaker than the evil demon leaders he killed, they were definitely good players in the Bone Forging realm.
What made his heart palpitate the most was one of the smells.
That aura is particularly deep and restrained, but it also carries a hint of indifference of being superior and judging all living beings. Its intensity is far beyond the level of Bone Forging, and is as unfathomable as the abyss.
--That is undoubtedly the Judge mentioned by Clerk Chen!
Lu Chen's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, but he didn't flinch.
He condensed the power of his soul into a strand thinner than a hair. Like the most dexterous probe, he carefully and bit by bit followed the energy gap that isolated the formation and penetrated into the underground chamber below.
The sights and sounds in the secret room instantly appeared clearly in his mind.
Under the dim candlelight, three men in black wearing green-faced fangs Ghost Face Mask were kneeling on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly.
In front of them, a tall figure turned his back to them, wearing a large black robe embroidered with ancient judgment patterns.
He was not wearing a mask, but the shadows surrounding him made it difficult to see his face.
"... That's what happened, Lord Judge." One of the Ghost Face Mask members reported in a dry voice, "The demon cave... completely collapsed without warning, and our people didn't even have time to evacuate. I suspect that other forces of Demon Suppression Division, such as Imperial Guard under Captain Li, got the news in advance and got there first, not only destroying the monster cave, but also taking away Mystic Water Mirror!"
"Trash!"
The hoarse voice called Judge finally sounded. The voice had no emotion at all, like two pieces of ice rubbing against each other.
He turned around slowly, revealing a pale and thin face. The most eye-catching thing was his eyes, which were narrow, sinister, and seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts.
He denied his subordinates' speculation and said coldly, "It's not Demon Suppression Division. The Soul-Guiding Butterfly I left at the entrance of the monster cave to warn others was instantly crushed into nothingness by an extremely domineering and pure sword intent at the moment before the monster cave collapsed. Not even a single message could be sent back."
"There is probably only one person who can do it."
"And... he seems to have some kind of innate and special restraint on the Godslayer demonic nature."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen was shocked! He didn't expect that the other party could infer so much information through a small butterfly.
Just listen to that Judge continue to say, "The loss of Mystic Water Mirror has indeed disrupted our original plan to use it to accurately locate the birth location of the thing in the upcoming Hidden Dragon Trial."
"But, it doesn't matter."
There was absolute confidence and coldness in his tone, "That thing, as long as it is within the territory of Nanling Prefecture, will definitely appear due to the qi of the trial. The compass is lost, we just wait and wait."
"Send my order and start the second plan immediately."
"Let our people do some tricks on the final list of Demon Suppression Division and Hidden Dragon Trial to ensure that a few of our seeds can enter smoothly. This time, we can only succeed, not fail!"
