Chapter 263 I am the Truth! A Forbidden Existence Projection! The Gate to the Eternal Astral Plane! (Seeking monthly votes)
Imagine a five-meter-tall, ferocious dragon-headed monster suddenly appearing, ambushing and instantly killing all his subordinates, exhaling a foul stench that could disfigure an ordinary person, and then telling you…
He hates being ambushed and even wants to be killed in the name of justice!
What does this feel like?
I don't know what others think, but the bald priest had only one thought in his mind, and that was...
"This is outrageous!!"
Although this enormous phantom of the dragon tree possessed a somewhat eerie and sacred aura, it also had six arms radiating pure white light.
But the bald priest, a loyal viewer of the League of Legends broadcast, immediately recognized the other party as Lu Yu, the freshman king of this year's Imperial University!
I don't know when, but they've already sneaked in right next to me!
I originally wanted to avoid the limelight for the time being, but now that this blond kid has come right in front of me, if I hold back any longer... I'll really become a coward!
"Pass away beneath the glow of the old starry sky!"
The bald priest formed a hand seal, and a vast expanse of black starlight swept out from beneath his white robes, transforming into countless starlight arrows that hurtled towards Lu Yu like a storm!
The bald priest took the opportunity to retreat. His thinking was very clear. Although part of his body had been mutated and he had a superhuman physique, he was still a spellcaster after all. If a martial artist got close, he would easily be defeated.
Especially someone like Lu Yu who has no martial ethics!
"Super-tier skill—Starlight Arrow Rain, imbued with corrosive starlight power, can easily repel any Morning Star Peak expert. Simply reactivate the ritual and bury them here!"
The bald priest's idea was good, but reality...
But it's cruel!
A barrage of star arrows rained down on the dragon armor, but instead of piercing it as he had expected, they produced a series of clanging sounds, with starlight and sparks flying everywhere, leaving only faint white marks on the armor.
It wasn't that no starlight arrows tried to penetrate deeper, but they were quickly repelled by a pure white stream of air.
It was as if the one clad in dragon armor was not a person, but...
An unpredictable storm!
Celestial Breathing not only strengthened Lu Yu's physique, but also gave him the ability to utilize storms and air currents!
Each breath leads to the sacred!
Combined with the egg's own powerful dragon body and dragon breath, it directly transformed into a celestial airflow force field that constantly surrounded it.
New uses have emerged!
As expected... there are no useless skills, only useless users!
"How is that possible!?"
The bald priest was incredulous. Before he could react, he heard the sound of whistling air!
He thought a storm was approaching, but the next moment, a scarlet dragon armor appeared in front of him without his noticing.
At that moment, the omen of death shone in his eyes, as if the gates of the underworld had opened!
"They still dare to make death threats! They're truly incorrigible!"
For such an impolite guy, Lu Yu immediately unleashed a powerful punch imbued with the Crimson Hammer skill, sending the bald giant flying. The man rolled several times on the ground, looking utterly disheveled!
"Huh, you haven't been dismantled? What are you? Or are you not even a thing?"
Curious, Lu Yu flapped his dragon wings, accompanied by a sonic boom, and his figure flickered, turning into a blur as he appeared in front of his opponent, preparing to increase his strength and test it.
"Get out of here!"
The bald priest raised his head, and beneath his once handsome face, a large number of dark, starry-sky-colored, thread-like things were writhing, making him look extremely ferocious.
Dark starlight gathered and quickly enveloped him, like a star that had dimmed and lost its light when it fell!
Shield of Fallen Stars!
"All your resistance is nothing but a flaw in my eyes!"
Lu Yu's indifferent voice rang out as he extended his dragon claw and gently poked at the target!
boom!
The sturdy Falling Star Shield was struck at its weak point in the flow of psionic energy, causing it to instantly become disordered and then explode!
boom!
To the bald priest's horrified gaze, the starlight energy dissipated, creating a powerful shockwave that sent him flying, causing him to tumble a second time on the ground, his once-neat priestly robes now tattered and torn.
However, the physical pain paled in comparison to the shock he felt. He raised his head and questioned in a hoarse voice:
"How did you do that?"
The same skill, when used by different people, will produce different effects depending on their own habits and skill proficiency, and the core elements they focus on will also be different.
Even seasoned beast tamers choose to suppress their opponents through tactics and attributes, rather than being as confident as Lu Yu, who directly attacks their weaknesses!
And it worked!
Could this guy possess some kind of advanced eye technique?
Lu Yu did not answer. His ferocious dragon head tilted to the left, brushing past the starlight attribute skills gathered by the remaining followers.
He slowly turned his head, and even without using any pressure, his simple gaze brought a suffocating sense of oppression, causing the group of evil god believers to collapse in fear and turn around and scramble away!
"Monster! This guy is a monster!"
"Help! Someone please help me!"
"..."
In return for their enthusiasm, Lu Yu extended his dragon claw, and crimson light converged, transforming it into a low-end version of the crimson spear, which he then grasped!
He threw it out suddenly!
They hit the area where they were located!
boom!
The crimson light spread, instantly engulfing more than a dozen followers. Amidst their agonizing screams, their flesh and blood disintegrated into countless particles.
After doing all this, Lu Yu looked at the bald priest with bloodshot eyes and said:
"Don't worry, you'll be reunited soon!"
He has always been kind-hearted and cannot bear to see people separated.
"hateful!"
The bald priest frowned, already knowing that he was no match for Lu Yu and had to use his trump card. A large number of dark starlight tentacles spread from his fingertips, carrying special incantations, and were imprinted into the ground!
Click click click!
Numerous starlight chains emerged from the ground, like an earth dragon turning over, and swiftly coiled around Lu Yu, who was clad in dragon armor, like pythons.
Bind him firmly to the spot!
Surrounded by stars doesn't necessarily mean being surrounded by them; it could also mean...
Share!
Ultimate Technique - Imprisoning Moon Star Chains!
"Don't forget, this is... my home turf!" the bald priest sneered. During the battle just now, he had been gathering ritual authority.
Now it has been fully activated, trapping Lu Yu here to his death!
Originally intended for use on Star Mine Dragon, but unexpectedly Lu Yu's strength exceeded expectations, and I was slightly outmatched.
Although using the ritual ahead of time might affect the capture plan, the bald priest couldn't care less about that.
Only by living can we have a future!
Multiple Falling Star Curses!
"Superimposed Star-Slaying Ritual!"
"Ultimate Killing Move - Moon Sets, Stars Fall!"
Rumble!
The dark starlight, like a river, surged back, transforming into a surging galaxy. At this moment, the dim starlight began to devour the brilliance of the ancient moon, as if to drag all things into the dark age of the starry sky!
Wherever it went, all things fell silent!
Its power has exceeded the limit of Morning Star, and although it hasn't reached the level of Radiant Moon, it's not far off!
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu raised his dragon claw, and with a crashing sound, he instantly shattered more than a dozen chains. However, even more star chains spread out, grabbing him and preventing him from leaving. He could only watch helplessly as he was struck.
boom!
The dark starlight engulfed the area where Lu Yu was, transforming into a towering black pillar of light that surged into the sky, carrying with it a vast amount of spiritual energy.
Within a radius of a kilometer, both sound and light were swallowed up at this moment, enveloped by the darkness of the starry sky.
The powerful dragon's might quickly dissipated, and its life force gradually dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind, eventually going out completely.
Even the most brilliant genius is no lighter than a feather in the face of death!
"It's finally over... Lu Yu, as expected of the freshman king of Imperial University, is indeed one of the strongest opponents I have ever encountered!" The bald priest watched this scene quietly, and although he was beaten badly, he did not hold back his praise.
It's not because the stronger the opponent, the more it makes me, the victor, have the last laugh!
If Lu Yu hadn't been overconfident and stepped into his meticulously arranged "Slaying the Stars" ritual, where he was bound by the Moon Imprisoning Chains used to lock the dragon, he might not have been able to win!
"Young people often rely on their enthusiasm to mock the cowardice of their elders, but they don't realize that in this world, only those who live can truly possess everything!"
The bald priest shook his head, his heart bleeding as he looked at the ritual, which had been reduced by more than half, and all the followers who had perished.
The followers of the evil god's cult are not like random monsters or NPCs that can be spawned in a game. Every single member is an elite force that he has carefully cultivated. He originally intended to take them all to heaven, but unexpectedly... they all perished here.
The most regrettable thing is that all three of Lu Yu's pet beasts are listed on the black market. If he could capture any one of them alive, it would be a chance to become rich overnight!
But he didn't regret it, because he wasn't confident he could suppress Lu Yu, and he didn't want to be the villain who got overturned, so killing him directly was the best way.
Moreover... as long as he can successfully complete the plan, he will be able to step into the Radiant Moon Realm and become a monarch!
In a world where power resides within oneself, clenching one's fist signifies wielding authority, providing ample time to cultivate more obedient subordinates.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Just as he was enjoying his bright future, scattered shooting stars began to streak across the sky. This was a spectacular sight, the prelude to a meteor shower!
The bald priest murmured:
"The Star Ore Dragon is about to appear, but before that, we need to use stellar-attribute offerings to repair the ritual in case things go wrong halfway through. The corpses of these followers can also be considered..."
"They've made use of waste!" a voice suddenly rang out, answering him.
As soon as he finished speaking, with a "crack," the bald priest's chest was pierced by a dragon claw as sharp as a sword.
"Heavenly Toad Aura!"
Before his mutated body could react, he was enveloped by a pure white storm carrying dragon breath, with streams of air cutting through him at high speed like blades.
However, there was no blood and gore as expected. Without the cover of clothes, the bald priest did not appear as a human, but rather as a body covered with numerous lines of dark starlight, with his abdomen completely transformed into starlight.
It lacks all human features, such as bones, flesh, and fascia!
Like a... starry sky lollipop?
However, this also explains why the Crimson Hammer didn't work; it turns out that this thing isn't a flesh-and-blood life form at all, but rather a psychic aberration.
However, despite his peculiar constitution granting him immunity to physical damage, he could only watch helplessly as the dragon claw pierced through and lifted him up.
At the same time, under the torture of [Celestial Breath], they can only do their best to resist and gain a chance to survive!
The bald priest, gazing at the unharmed dragon-armored figure and enduring the pain of the Heavenly Toad Qi cutting through his spiritual energy, asked:
Why?
He clearly saw with his own eyes that Lu Yu was dead!
"because……"
Lu Yu, beneath the dragon armor, slowly withdrew his dragon claw and calmly said:
"I am the truth!" The tone was calm, with an air of self-evident certainty.
Although he usurped the position of the Key of Truth, Lu Yu is indeed qualified to call himself "Truth," and the Eye of Truth and the Secret Food are now part of the Authority of Truth.
Illusion is endless, only truth endures!
Lu Yu was telling the truth, but to the bald priest, it sounded like a strong mockery. Even though his body was restricted, he was still within the range of the [Shoot Down the Stars] ritual.
He... still has hope!
But the next moment, the bald priest's gaze became unfocused, then panicked, and finally turned into...
fear!
The Star Orbiter was destroyed and went out of control!
"Don't even think about taking us all down with you." Lu Yu chuckled and continued, "The ritual you devised is quite good, but now it's mine!"
"Eek!" The little spider emerged from the void, holding a large number of ritual threads in its hands. It had already entered the [Smash the Stars] ritual and, through the previous groundwork, had taken over the entire ritual.
The little spider's face was serious.
What you learn in school really comes down to practice!
Sensing the bald priest's angry gaze, it politely responded through telepathy:
"Waaah!"
Don't worry, my owner and I will use it well!
(﹡﹡)
The bald priest was so angry he almost vomited blood, but unfortunately his body structure wouldn't allow it.
Lu Yu smiled without saying a word. As the founder of the bullying tactic, no matter how strong his defense was, he would never do something like physically taking a fatal blow!
That's far too unstable!
There's a one in a thousand chance of it going wrong, so even using up a few of your trump cards would be a waste!
As for the bald priest, he didn't actually kill the rat clone.
Although the mouse tried its best to recommend a few "excellent" suicide squad mice, saying that they were willing to go through fire and water for the sake of repairing people.
Even if you lose your head, you won't make a sound!
However, because the corners of the rat's mouth were harder to suppress than an AK, Lu Yu easily saw through its true intentions and decisively refused.
Just kidding, he's also looking forward to the big capitalist rats being hung on streetlights, okay?
How could I possibly help bully the workers!
This time, he used the second Transcendent-level skill he gained after deceiving the entire League using [Illusory Object - Dream Bubble].
Moreover, it's a super-level [Illusion Mastery]!
With this level of proficiency, if it weren't for the limitations of the little spider's strength, it could definitely create a real phantom!
But sweeping away opponents of the same rank and those at the Morning Star rank was a piece of cake!
From the moment you enter, a grand illusion is woven!
The real purpose was simply to have him demonstrate how to manipulate the "Shoot Down the Stars" ritual.
Furthermore, Little Spider, whose proficiency in esoteric arts has recently improved by leaps and bounds, personally took action, and Mouse simulated the aura to transfer permissions.
After a series of maneuvers, Lu Yu now has the home-field advantage!
Although the bald priest didn't know how Lu Yu had done it, he understood that the situation was hopeless and the other party wouldn't let him go, so he didn't beg for mercy in a humble manner, but just grinned and said:
"What we seek is the infinite gate bestowed by the stars, to restore this false starry sky to its rightful place, back to its original form, and to reshape the real world."
"Your strength and talent are indeed formidable, but you shouldn't stand in our way of pursuing the stars. That is the only path to higher dimensions. If you kill me, you will be rejected by the stars, and the chosen ones will eradicate you..."
"Even the sun cannot stop me, let alone the stars!"
Lu Yu chuckled lightly, and the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, disguised as spider silk, spread out, piercing through the bald priest's brow and taking away his soul, while his body was extracted as material.
Since the opponent has been severely injured, reviewing their memories is not difficult.
They quickly obtained the information Lu Yu wanted.
"Oh, it's the Brotherhood of Stars!"
Lu Yu began to search for relevant information in his mind.
The Brotherhood of the Fallen Stars is an evil cult active in the Dark Star Region. Its name is similar to the Brotherhood of the Faceless, but it is far inferior to the latter in both fame and strength.
Although it keeps a low profile most of the time, it is indeed a medium to large-sized cult of evil gods.
The Pope, holding the rank of Radiant Moon, leads the order, followed by twelve white-robed priests known as the Twelve Fallen Stars.
The bald priest was one of them.
Their doctrines are rather peculiar; they do not worship any particular deity, but rather…
Starry sky!
The sun, moon, and stars hold equal status in mysticism, and given their immeasurable existence, they have never lacked worshippers and believers.
However, even if you worship, you will receive very few responses. Most sects disappear under the wheels of history as soon as they begin to emerge.
Of all the things Lu Yu knew about related to the sun, only the mysterious cult that appeared in the ancient civilization. As for the moon, there were three cults: the Moon Lord Society, the Fertility Moon Society, and the Primordial Moon Society, and they were quite large.
As for the stars...
Because their brilliance is often obscured by the sun and moon, there are relatively few religious groups!
The Brotherhood of Stars is one of them. They have mastered the power of the Dark Stars and, like most evil god cults, are not mentally sound.
They denigrate the current starry sky as a "false starry sea," believing that all the false stars must be shot down to return the starry sky to its original form, thereby opening the gate to the infinite starry sky and reaching the other side of the stars.
Their specialty is destroying star oracles, which will lead to their evolution into higher life forms!
Before his experience with the Lin family in Star Bay, Lu Yu would have scoffed at this idea, but after obtaining the Primal Starry Sky Flesh Field...
Only then did he realize that the primordial starry sky truly existed!
It is suspected to be a forbidden existence!
In other words, some of what this cult is seeking is true!
In addition, the material also reveals some information.
【Dark Starry Sky Distorted Body (Top-Tier 4-Star): One of the twelve Fallen Star Priests from the Brotherhood of Fallen Stars. Due to the influence of the dark starry sky projected from the original starry sky, his body is distorted. His internal organs, bones, flesh, and skin are all transformed by the dark starlight, and his own thinking is also interfered with, thus becoming as rigid as a star.
If one can undergo complete distortion and obtain the star blood nurtured in the primordial starry field, one can transform into the form of a primordial star, sublimate one's essence, and thus perceive the call of the primordial starry sky up close.
It can be used to make evolution food for Star-type pets, or it can be used to make the skill food "Falling Star Shield".
It is merely a projection of the primordial starry sky, yet it possesses power akin to that of a deity, capable of selectively distorting believers!
"The so-called evolution into a higher life form, could it be the original form of astral beasts? After all, these guys are also undergoing the distortion of stellar spiritual energy, transforming into astral distorted forms. Once they cease to be human, they can indeed revert to their original form..."
Lu Yu recalled that the ancestors of the Lin family in Xingwan had undergone a distortion because they stepped into the outer reaches of the primordial starry sky.
So here's the question...
Why would he be there?
Why would someone possibly approach such a dangerous place for no reason? The most likely explanation is...
The secret guarded by the Star Family is related to the primordial starry sky!
What exactly is hidden in the ancient dynasty's legacy that, when pieced together, can form the path to the true king?
If the original form of life was of a higher level, then why did the Star System pets evolve into their current form?
What exactly did the ancient dynasties of the Dark Star Region do to lead to their downfall?
Many doubts lingered in his mind, but no one could answer them for him. Even the priest's memories did not yield many valuable clues.
Furthermore, key information concerning the Dark Starry Sky and the Star-Chosen Ones has been interfered with by some force and cannot be viewed.
"The main world is truly amazing; even with problems with the sun, moon, and starry sky, it has managed to develop steadily!"
Lu Yu sighed inwardly, while the little spider beside him was busy picking up and throwing away corpses and repairing ritual implements.
Lu Yu couldn't help either, so he looked up at the night sky.
Or rather...
An upcoming meteor shower!
On the edge of night, meteorites, burning with blazing fire, streaked across the sky, rushing in with overwhelming force, dazzling and radiant.
Yet the earth itself was also shimmering with starlight, reflecting the sky as if in a mirror.
It gives you the feeling of being in a galaxy or the universe!
"Singing—"
With a deafening roar that echoed through the heavens, a black and golden dragon shadow struck down like lightning, appearing in front of the meteor shower.
Exactly...
Star Mine Dragon!
It was a full 300 meters long, with winding horns and star-colored patterns all over its body, but at this moment it looked somewhat dull and lifeless.
His dragon eyes were bloodshot, filled with savagery and hunger. He didn't even care about Lu Yu, who was radiating dragon power on the ground. All he wanted to do was eat!
"roar!"
With a burst of dragon breath, it shattered a meteorite several hundred meters in diameter, scattering numerous fragments which were swallowed one by one by the flashing, charging dragon shadow.
After obtaining fuel, the Meteor Furnace began to burn fiercely. The area below the dragon's head, where it should be located in the chest cavity, began to glow. The sword-shaped crystal ore on its body also began to shine, and the Star Ore Dragon Crystal on its back began to be further tempered!
"This dragon looks like it's not just in its adult stage, it's almost transitioning into its old age!"
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, noticing that unlike most pet beasts, which lose a significant amount of power as they age.
For dragon beasts, the older they get, the more terrifying their accumulated strength becomes!
Judging by its aura alone, it has already exceeded the limit of Morning Star, but it has not yet reached the Radiant Moon level!
Moreover, being in a negative state, its overall strength must have declined considerably.
Originally, Lu Yu's only goal was the Star Mine Dragon Crystal behind it, but after reviewing most of the priest's memories and learning part of the plan, he suddenly changed his mind...
"Let's do it!"
At a command, the little spider took control of the [Shoot Down the Stars Ritual], unleashing a large number of Moon Imprisoning Star Chains, which, like venomous snakes, coiled around the Star Ore Dragon in the sky.
"roar!"
Although the latter had devoured some meteorites, it had been starving for a long time and was clearly not fully recovered. It was soon suppressed and imprisoned by the Moon Imprisoning Chains and could only keep crashing and roaring.
However, during this process, his spiritual energy was constantly eroded by the Dark Star Chain, the starlight on his body gradually dimmed, and he glared angrily at Lu Yu, the humanoid "dragon beast".
Lu Yu calmly watched this scene and said indifferently:
"If you want to live, hand over the Star Ore Dragon Crystal and..."
"The key to the Eternal Astral Gate!"
P.S.: I'm also recommending two books by good friends as a sacrifice: [This bizarre Three Kingdoms game is too brutal], the fourth calamity novel in the Kryptonian genre.
【The Invincible Prince Consort: Starting with Marrying the Demented Princess】, written by a writer known for his frivolous writing.
This is a long chapter of 6,300 words. I'm asking for monthly votes and to help the author, Sanxiang Kaoyu, promote this book. Readers interested in beast taming can check it out.
