"What is this thing!?"
Lu Yu almost threw a punch, but luckily he managed to hold back. His first instinct was to run away, but then he saw that the eye was slowly focusing.
It feels like being woken up abruptly after just a short nap following an all-nighter; your mind goes blank for a moment.
But after a short while, he will fully wake up.
In other words...
The thing inside hasn't woken up yet, but it's about to!
Is my plan to steal base resources and gather top-tier content going to fail?
Lu Yu was suddenly startled. Looking at the "97%" progress bar, his eyes turned red, and he made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.
"Little Spider, give him the medicine... ugh, the sleeping spell!"
Since you want to wake up, I'll let you continue sleeping!
Before we finish extracting the materials, even the King of Heaven himself has to crawl away!
"Eek!"
After spending this time together, the little spider had long since developed a telepathic connection with Lu Yu. With just a glance, it knew what he meant and directly manipulated dozens of illusory spirit puppet threads to pierce into the embryo, injecting illusory, twisted, milky-white sleep spells into it.
The kind that's plentiful and filling!
The dark golden vertical pupils returned to a state of confusion, while the eternal white light continued to encroach, and the progress bar jumped once again.
"98%...98.5%...98.6%..."
Holy crap, how come there's a decimal point!
Lu Yu almost couldn't help but swear, but he remained calm, watching the progress bar while keeping a close eye on the dark golden giant eye out of the corner of his eye, nervously holding his breath.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, he could even clearly hear his own heartbeat, which sounded like a loud drumbeat.
Sweat rolled down my forehead and onto the tip of my nose, causing a slight itch, but I dared not be distracted.
"99.5%...just a little bit more..."
Lu Yu's eyes were filled with excitement, and cold sweat soaked his clothes. The little spider was still frantically injecting the sleep curse, and the intense drowsiness made the giant eye struggle repeatedly between wakefulness and confusion.
Suddenly, it caught a whiff of a strange fragrance emanating from Lu Yu, like the whisper of an ancient demon. This jolted it back to its dazed state of consciousness, but in its dazed state, it didn't immediately resist. Instead, it unleashed a chaotic barrage of malevolent thoughts.
"Accept me...to gain an immortal body and eternal life...to ascend the throne of the Old Gods..."
The voice contains a strange, bewitching power that forcibly erodes the mind and distorts the will, enough to turn mortals into its loyal lackeys.
At this moment, Lu Yu's gaze became empty, as if his reason had been distorted. With a numb expression, he walked to the side of the giant embryo and reached out to touch it.
Click!
A crack appeared within the embryo, and flesh surged to both sides like a tide, revealing countless sharp teeth, slowly approaching Lu Yu.
"Come...become one with me..."
The embryo, like a gaping maw of an abyss, waited for its prey to enter. It slowly closed its teeth, biting into something hard. Just as it was about to crush and swallow it, it suddenly realized that Lu Yu was standing a meter away from it.
The latter said excitedly:
"Finally... 100%!"
It paused for a moment!
What is 100%?
Also, if this guy is there, then what is he biting?
And then Lu Yu's voice rang out:
"The Vermilion Bird No. 7 Flameblast Grenade has the power of an elite peak-level strike. I found it while clearing out the Limb-Splitting Demon today. I've already pulled the pin. You're welcome!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the embryo instinctively tried to spit them out, but a tearing pain from the primordial level surged in like a tsunami, causing it unbearable pain and putting it into a brief state of paralysis.
boom!
Hesitation leads to defeat. The intense light condensed into a single point and exploded instantly, unleashing a torrent of high-temperature flames that engulfed the entire embryo, vaguely transforming into the shape of a Vermilion Bird.
The intense heat caused painful screams to emanate from the embryo:
"Ahhh..."
"I'm such a kind person who brings warmth to others!"
Looking at the embryo marked with the "Weak Fire" label in the Eye of Truth, Lu Yu said with emotion.
This was the loot he obtained today while sweeping away the limb-splitting demons. He wondered which unlucky beastmaster had been ambushed and killed before he could even use it.
After going around in circles, it ended up in his hands again.
When Lu Yu saw the embryo and woke up in shock, he knew that this damned [Forbidden Curse Seal] was up to its old tricks again.
Countless thoughts raced through my mind as I frantically tried to stall for time to extract materials, but I never expected that the other party would be so foolish as to resort to mental erosion.
He's an expert at psychological manipulation!
After being expanded by a group of top-level beings such as the Forbidden Sun and Beasts, this mental erosion is not even a tickle.
If this guy hadn't been talking so much, Lu Yu would have been tempted to say something like:
"Have you come in?"
The result was obvious: Lu Yu had obtained a piece of material from his resource library, and the information was displayed accordingly.
[The Core of the Thousand-Faced Demon (1/2): Originating from a creature born from the ancient, formless abyss, it possesses the power to transform flesh and blood in countless ways. It can transform into the target by devouring their flesh and blood, and can also piece together limbs to master different powers.]
[Rating: Top-tier, four stars]
Because the other party has awakened, some parts cannot be extracted.
Even if it's only half, it's still a top-tier four-star material!
If you collect them all, wouldn't that be a five-star material!
The only five-star material Lu Yu currently possesses is the Ghost Tree, which originates from a descendant of one of the Seven Great Imperial Trees.
Don't let its current half-dead state fool you; if it hadn't been snapped off so soon after taking root, it would have been a terrifying being capable of easily destroying a small world.
To obtain the complete five-star material, you must acquire the remaining half.
Lu Yu didn't intend to kill him with a single explosive grenade, and continued to command:
"Line Technique - Sonic Gun!"
The little spider raised its hand, and a large amount of spider silk gathered in the air and transformed into ten long spears, which swept out instantly. They were an upgraded version of the sonic silk blades, with greater power.
The spear pierced through, but just as it did, the flames were suddenly shattered, turning into a shower of sparks. Dozens of blood-red ribbons struck, colliding with the spider silk spear.
boom!
The spider silk spear instantly disintegrated, and amidst the swirling white silk, the figure within the embryo emerged, revealing its true form.
It was a monster that looked similar to the Wild Power Ant, but its entire outer skin and carapace had been stripped away, leaving its body covered in tendons-like blood-red flesh. It was also covered with these strange blood-red ribbons that coiled around its body like venomous snakes, but it had been left with many burn marks.
His face was hollow and sunken, from which a blood-red ribbon several meters long extended, connecting to an ant-like face with a single horn, floating in the air like a kite, looking down at Lu Yu, its dark eyes filled with intense malice.
Most people would feel a chill run down their spine upon seeing this bizarre scene.
However, when Lu Yu looked at the strange, blood-red ants before him, he greeted them as if they were old acquaintances:
"Should I call you Wild Ant, or...?"
"The leader of the limb-extending demons!"
After he finished speaking, the cave fell into a brief silence.
Susu!
The crimson ribbon connecting to the neck suddenly tightened, pulling the face that was floating in the air back onto the face.
Ta-da!
It extended its insect legs and gently tapped its cheek, seemingly trying to make its disguise more solid, then looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled expression and asked:
"How did you know?"
Lu Yu shrugged and said, "Just guessing, it won't hurt anyway."
Actually, the Eye of Truth revealed a new label: "Leg-Extending Demon." Anyone with common sense would know that it must be the leader of the Leg-Extending Demons.
After all, the other limb-splitting demons don't have the qualifications to be reincarnated here.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious, so hilarious..."
The leader of the limb-splitting demons was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter, his voice shaking the cave and causing a large amount of fine sand to leak out. He then said:
"It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting young person like you!"
"This is the first time I've encountered a ruthless figure like you. You actually used the Thousand-Faced Demon's power to create two versions of yourself—one on top, making sacrifices, and the other on the bottom, undergoing reincarnation…" Lu Yu looked at the leader of the limb-splitting demons before him and slowly said, "Speaking of which one of you is the real one? The one on top doesn't seem fake either. If they're both…aren't you afraid of being replaced by a fake body?"
Lu Yu was also shocked. His initial guess was that the other party was trying to reincarnate and give birth to a new Thousand-Faced Demon through the core and then control it.
His final plan was to extract the embryo of the Thousand-Faced Demon as material to directly destroy the core of the ritual, which was essentially stealing its base.
However, to his utter surprise, the leader of the limb-splitting demons was far more insane than he had imagined, actually severing his own soul and merging it into his heart core.
Leaving aside the dangers of severing one's soul, just distinguishing between primary and secondary issues is a huge problem.
You could easily suffer the consequences if you're not careful!
However, because it was conscious, it sensed the danger and chose to be born immediately.
"You do know quite a lot, even about the Thousand-Faced Demon. But that makes sense, you just used some means to forcibly steal half of my core..." The leader of the limb-splitting demons, who resembled wild ants, was momentarily surprised, but quickly calmed down and said, "As for truth and falsehood, why bother distinguishing? The strong are the true. If I've been replaced, it means he's the better version of me!"
His words were calm, yet they carried an indescribable confidence.
Which one will become real!
I actually got tricked by a villain!
Lu Yu had to admit that the guy in front of him had the aura of a true powerhouse.
To carry out one's beliefs with unwavering determination.
Unfortunately, they are the enemy!
Fortunately, because he interfered with several steps, there were not enough offerings, and half of the core was stolen. This guy in front of me was severely injured by the grenade and now only has the strength of an elite high-level.
Not invincible!
Lu Yu asked his final question: "Why not just reincarnate as the Thousand-Faced Demon, instead of going through the trouble of reincarnating as the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant?"
"I know you're stalling for time, but I haven't had anyone I can have a real conversation with on an equal footing in a long time, so I don't mind telling you..."
The leader of the limb-splitting demons, or rather the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant, suddenly threw a punch backward without turning his head. The enormous force shook the air, creating a sonic boom that directly crushed the attacking spider silk spears.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu's pupils contracted.
Such keen perception!
It calmly withdrew its hand, without reprimanding Lu Yu for his sneak attack, and slowly spoke:
"The Thousand-Faced Demon's greatest strength is its ability to transform into countless forms, which is also its weakness. It has no fixed form, and its power is ultimately an imitation, falling short of the real thing. This gap may be the key to its defeat."
In comparison, I prefer the ability to splice limbs, to piece together the bodies of numerous powerful beings and evolve them into truly perfect life forms. However, these beings lack physical form and cannot fully bear the power of those bodies…”
However, before Lu Yu could ask about the human body, the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant answered first, a regretful expression appearing on its ant-like face, and sighed:
"Human beings have their limits!"
"After giving up the greatest gift of the Beast Taming Space, the human body has become a constraint for me, a cage of flesh and blood. No matter how I modify my body, I will eventually feel weak. Despite having great power, I cannot use it to the fullest extent because I am afraid of hurting myself. It has even become an obstacle to my advancement to the Overlord level."
For over a decade, I've been thinking about what to do, until I learned about the existence of the Wild Ant.
The reason it can use the Force Ring skill to unleash fifty tons of force twenty times, a full thousand tons, without suffering any damage, is due to its unique body structure, which is also the perfect vessel I've always dreamed of. Therefore, I used the core of the Thousand-Faced Demon, the karma contained in the hearts of hundreds of Beast Tamers, and a complete Wild Force Ant shell as the price to perform the Demon-Slaying Ritual and undergo a special sublimation.
In this way, I can continue to grow, using this special structure to piece together the limbs of more powerful extraordinary creatures, ancient dragons, or even... ancient beings, to achieve the body of a demon god, so..."
"I'm not human anymore!"
When uttering these crazy and ambitious words, the Thousand-Faced Wild Ant did not relent; instead, it remained silent and calm.
But one can sense the madness contained within it, a madness that even the abyss cannot fill!
boom!
As they spoke, the Thousand-Faced Wilderness Ant sprang up, its figure flashed, the ground beneath its feet shattered, and it arrived in front of Lu Yu in an instant. Because of its speed, it stirred up a whirlwind.
It could see the astonishment on Lu Yu's face up close, as well as the spider silk shield that he was beginning to weave, and said calmly:
"Too slow!"
gurgle gurgle!
Suddenly, the sides of the ribs, which were not covered by skin but only by flesh and tendons, began to wriggle and grow a pair of Storm Giant arms.
However, compared to his other self, this arm is covered with tiny blue, steel-like scales.
Whoohoo!
The moment it appeared, the surrounding airflow began to accelerate, swirling around it and transforming into wind blades that followed it.
A fierce gust of wind howled, and it arrived directly in front of Lu Yu. The Storm Giant Raven raised its arm high, and a soul-shaking dragon roar could be faintly heard as it slammed down with a punch!
chant—
A dragon shadow shot down, carrying hundreds of wind scythes. It landed before Lu Yu's horrified eyes, instantly slicing through the spider silk shield. Everything was cut down, the ground sank, turning into countless fragments of stone and then instantly being pulverized.
In an instant,
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes!
"You're stalling for time, but aren't I also piecing together this half-dragon Storm Giant's arm to prevent you from escaping...?"
The Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant stared at the large crater and the tattered pieces of its clothing, muttering to itself:
"I don't know if my other self has gathered enough offerings for the Egg of Cause and Effect. Although those guys are sneaky, the ritual and the Egg of Cause and Effect are indeed powerful. With enough cause and effect and spirituality, I can perfectly condense the existence power of the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant and achieve a perfect harmony between body and soul."
"I was actually disturbed by a little guy. I still need to re-condense the Bloodstained Demon-Slaying Embryo and accumulate enough karma before I can allow the two of myself to undergo the final fusion and ascend to the Overlord..."
After saying that, it closed its eyes, preparing to sense the other half of the heart core and take it back, but soon its expression turned to surprise.
Because that half of the core seemed to have vanished from the world, and not a trace of its presence could be detected.
"How is that possible!?"
The Thousand-Faced Wilderness Ant froze for a moment, just about to raise its hand to search, when it suddenly felt a pulling sensation. Looking down, it discovered that its hands and feet were wrapped in a large amount of spider silk. Before it could react, Lu Yu's voice sounded from behind it:
"Void Deaththorn Shield!"
Before he could speak, numerous small void rifts had already torn open, and countless spider silk needles exploded around the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant, instantly piercing through his flesh and skin, staining the rocks with blood.
As the sound faded, the skill ended.
Lu Yu, who had teleported behind the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant using the little spider, adhered to the principle of striking while the iron was hot and did not say anything more, continuing to let the little spider perform the Marrow-Raising Emperor's actions.
I've scattered your ashes!
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless spider silk pierced through, covering from all directions, like a torture of piercing, constantly penetrating his body, drawing out countless drops of blood, and staining the snow-white spider silk crimson.
While the spider was firing a continuous barrage of silk threads for a full minute, the void behind it tore open, revealing six Void Eyes that combined to unleash a Void Dissolve Cannon attack!
Prepare to deliver the final blow!
However, the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant, pierced by countless spider silk threads, suddenly raised its head, shattering countless threads, opened its ferocious mandibles, and roared:
"Eye of the Storm!"
He stretched out his two giant demon arms and quickly formed an ancient and obscure incantation. Then he stretched out his hand, and suddenly the center of his palm cracked open, revealing a dark golden vertical pupil.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding airflow accelerated, and although it was underground, a terrifying hurricane was erected, as if the Lord of Storms had descended upon the place.
The howling wind, louder than the roar of a wild beast, whipped up countless fragments of rock, shattering the Void Dissolve Cannon, and continued to expand, attempting to cover the entire underground cavern.
"The wind is so strong...!"
The mouse at the entrance of the hole was almost blown away by the strong wind. It quickly grabbed a rock with its hands and feet, but the bubble of life was blown away.
"Oh no!"
The mouse tensed up and quickly used its shadow tentacles to grab at it, but because the wind was too strong, it only managed to pull one back.
"hateful!"
It gritted its teeth, reached out with difficulty to pop the bubble, absorbed it, and then did its best to expand the power of shadow to the extreme, covering up all the energy fluctuations that were trying to leak out.
"Mommy, never give up!"
Lu Yu heard the squeaking of rats outside and his expression turned grim. Looking at the small storm sweeping everything away, he knew he couldn't retreat. If he did, this entire area might be shattered.
At that point, the mouse's shielding ability will be ineffective, and it will no longer be facing the guy in front of it, but the leader of the limb-splitting demons who has undergone a transformation and become spiritual!
We absolutely cannot let it succeed!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at the little spider, who also understood its master's meaning.
rustling...
Facing the oncoming hurricane, the little spider stood in the void, reached out and removed the blindfold, its eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly opened its eyes.
clap clap clap!
At that moment, countless fragments of rock, whipped up and flung by the hurricane, were pulverized into dust before they even got close.
The moment those beautiful eyes opened, space itself distorted, and the storm ceased.
Tear apart the Demon Eye, activate!
The little spider wore a blindfold not only to stabilize its spirituality, but also because the power of the Tearful Demon Eye would continuously increase as its strength advanced, so it needed to keep its eyes closed at all times.
Otherwise, it will tear apart everything you see.
At this moment, the amethyst-like eyes looked at the hurricane, which seemed to be forcibly grabbed at both ends by an invisible force and pulled sharply to both sides!
Click!
The hurricane that swept through the cave was instantly torn apart by the Demon Eye, and the life energy in the little spider's body was rapidly consumed. However, it did not stop moving, but instead turned its gaze to the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant!
Click!
An invisible tearing force cleaved it in two, creating a massive crack in the stone wall behind it. The Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant collapsed, its flesh and organs spilling onto the ground.
"Eek..."
After doing all this, the little spider turned pale and quickly closed its eyes. The black blindfold automatically wrapped around and covered its eyes, stabilizing its spirituality. It began to pant and recover its almost depleted spirituality and life energy.
Only after consuming three Vitality Bubbles in a row, along with the [Full of Spirit] buff, did I avoid any side effects or aftereffects.
Although the cost of using the [Tearing Demon Eye] is high, its power is indeed ridiculously great.
It instantly killed the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant!
Just as Lu Yu was about to press his advantage and extract more materials, the previously curled-up blood-red roots suddenly burst forth.
Whoosh whoosh!
They were like tubes inserted into the body of the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant, injecting a large amount of black, foul blood. The blood-red ribbons at the wounds on the two body parts wriggled and connected together, actually reconnecting the body once again!
"What!?"
Lu Yu's pupils contracted. The little spider beside him conjured a giant axe of spider silk and cleaved him in two. However, ribbons still spread from the flesh and blood body, reconnecting and reassembling.
"Don't waste your energy."
The voice of the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ant rang out, its obsidian-like insect eyes looking at Lu Yu, and it chuckled:
"You are indeed a top-notch beast tamer, with great intelligence and strategic thinking. If you hadn't taken that half of the core, I would have been reborn as the Queen of the Wild Power Ants, with the disadvantages of flesh and blood, and I might be dead by now."
However, because of your early interruption, I retained the characteristics of the Thousand-Faced Demon. My form is no longer fixed, so I have no real fatal weakness. In addition, the Crimson Blood Reincarnation Ritual continuously replenishes energy, allowing me to regenerate continuously.
You can't grind me to dust, and I can't kill you, but as long as I stall for time until this shadow barrier dissipates, news of what happened here will spread, and you'll be easily crushed by another version of me, hahahaha…”
Lu Yu's face darkened. He hadn't expected that by a twist of fate, the guy in front of him would gain half of an immortal body.
It has to be said, it really is a cruel twist of fate.
However, Lu Yu did not say anything more, nor did he give up, and continued to let the little spider tear his body apart!
It can be cut, split, or pounded into mincemeat, but it can still be reshaped by the filthy whiskers containing foul blood. Even if it is destroyed, more filthy whiskers will enter the ground.
As long as the ritual continues, the pseudo-immortality can be maintained.
Lu Yu repeatedly killed it, but the Thousand-Faced Wild Power Ants kept taunting him, trying to break his will, and even offered him an olive branch:
"I admire intelligent people who surrender half of their core and submit to me, and I can take you to see a wider world..."
However, before it could finish speaking, Lu Yu cut it in two. This time, it completely lost patience and was preparing to fight again when it suddenly discovered that the amount of foul blood had decreased.
ceremony……
there is a problem!
Lu Yu noticed its shock, pierced it once more with spider silk, revealed a set of bright white teeth, and laughed:
"I'm waiting for my teammates, what are you waiting for...?"
"Are we just waiting to die?"
........................
A few minutes ago, in the Desolate Ant Mound Secret Realm.
Qi Wei was exhausted, squatting on the ground, looking at Yu Xiyan standing on the cliff, gazing at the battle in the distance. The evening breeze lifted her skirt, her black hair danced in the wind, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Unfortunately, she's a cunning and wicked woman!
Qi Wei secretly scoffed to himself, "He already has PSTTD (Personal Traumatism) with women; he's a man who only wants to become the Beast Tamer King!"
Hearing the noise, Yu Xiyan said without turning her head:
"Have you put everything away properly?"
"It's all in place, but the fighting is too intense at some of the locations near the altar, so we can't get close."
Qi Wei nodded, his blood boiling as he watched the battle in the distance. The power of the top-tier monsters and beast tamers far exceeded his imagination.
I hope that one day I can also become such a strong person and dominate the battlefield.
However, what he didn't understand was why his cousin had asked him to run around half of the desert map, but he hadn't participated in any battles yet. Instead, he was just placing feathers under the hidden stone pillars.
How could this possibly disrupt the ritual?
He's clearly deliberately making excuses to torment himself!
As for Lu Yu, he's known for being extremely cautious at school. He probably would have run away long ago if he saw a battle of this magnitude...
While still lost in his own thoughts, Qi Wei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground. His last thought was:
"Damn it, this woman actually heard me cursing her in my mind, I'm doomed..."
He fell straight to the ground and passed out.
After settling Qi Wei, Yu Xiyan gazed at the distant altar. With the existence of the Egg of Cause and Effect, simply disrupting the ritual nodes was no longer enough to affect the sacrificial ceremony.
"It's almost time..."
Yu Xiyan murmured softly, and deep within her azure eyes, several intertwined mysterious incantations overlapped, revealing a seven-ringed magic array behind her.
Unfortunately, there was a problem with her beast taming, so it couldn't be used for the time being, but that's okay, there are other methods.
Yu Xiyan took out an octahedral crystal, which floated in front of her. She clasped her hands together in a reverse cross and murmured softly:
"Having traversed the long river of destiny, and surveyed the fates of all things, heed my prayer and descend..."
"Throne Angels!"
