Lu Yu returned to the mine just after midnight.
He believed that the vendor must have been filled with regret.
Lu Yu sneered coldly, “However, it’s already too late for you to regret. I hope you have better luck and don’t cross paths with me. Otherwise, I’ll hunt you down to the ends of the earth!”
Lu Yu, while speaking, took out all the Star Spirit Stones he had brought back from his storage pearl and piled them in the warehouse, ready for the Demonic Beast’s evolution.
This time, he received the Shattered Heart Poison and encountered something identical to the Corpse’s Body, which even he himself considered an unexpected occurrence.
After finishing organizing the warehouse, Lu Yu first took out the stone of the Broken Heart Poison.
The moment the green stone was taken out of the glass box, green mist surged out from the stone in waves, then twisted like venomous snakes and drilled into his body.
Withdraw—
In an instant, Lu Yu’s body, along with his clothes, began to char and burn as if corroded by sulfuric acid.
Lu Yu’s nerves were instantly stretched to the limit, with pain tearing through every inch of his flesh.
Just like the name of the poison—Heartbreaker!
Lu Yu felt as if all the toxins entering his body were piercing toward his heart, like countless insects gnawing at it, almost driving him to the point of wanting to rip his heart out.
The Myriad Toxins Body began to activate, resisting the Heart-Shattering Poison!
This process lasted for nearly three minutes before it ended.
When the poison inside his body no longer harmed Lu Yu, black toxic gas began to surge from his palm, enveloping the green stone and starting to decompose it.
Compared to absorbing the heart of the three-headed hellish serpent, this process was significantly slower.
It took a full ten minutes for the green stone to finish absorbing everything!
…
Successfully consumed the Shattered Heart Poison.
The ultimate evolution of the Poison Dragon’s Touch has finally reached two-tenths of completion!
…
Corrosive Poison — When your attack causes bleeding, it will implant ten thousand highly toxic seeds within the enemy’s body. The poison will continuously drain one hundred thousand health points per second until the enemy dies. After the enemy’s death, the implanted toxic seeds will sprout and be collected. Level 8 Touch of the Poison Dragon can store up to thirty thousand collected toxic seeds.
…
Poison Dragon Thorn – The recycled venomous seeds are called Poison Dragon Thorns. Each Poison Dragon Thorn has a piercing effect, ignoring armor to inflict 40,000 damage instantly, and prevents the wounded area from healing until death.
…
The amount of toxic seeds planted by the Corrosion Poison has increased to thirty thousand. Moreover, once poisoned, the per-second toxic damage has doubled to one hundred thousand.
The damage of the Poison Dragon Spike has also been increased to forty thousand, and the damage value continues to rise.
“Will absorbing highly toxic substances also increase the effect of the Dragon’s Touch?”
Lu Yu spoke softly, then took out the Soul of the Deceased and glanced at it once more.
“Hiss!”
Lu Yu inhaled sharply, saying, “So it actually requires absorbing the skills of two Star Souls to complete the fusion with the Body of the Deceased? This means that obtaining the Soul of the Deceased alone would have absolutely no effect!”
As Lu Yu hesitated between choosing the two skills, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise: “Wait a minute. Normal Star Souls have only one skill! It seems that only mutated Star Souls possess multiple skills. Could it be that the ‘Undead Body’ and ‘Undead Soul’ are related to a mutated Star Soul?”
Lu Yu hesitated, weighing his choices among several skills, and finally sighed, saying, “Then I’ll absorb Annihilation Heavy Strike and Fierce Armor!”
He never used the skill “Xiong Jia” at all. It’s a good skill, and very important for survival.
However, soul devouring and hunting are more important.
One can significantly increase his base attributes in a short period of time.
And hunting is even more important!
He has not yet found a suitable weapon and also has no time to engage in hunting.
Once the right weapon is found, the effectiveness of the hunt will be realized.
Even the most trashy weapon will become a divine artifact in his hands!
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally crushed the bead in his hand.
As the beads shattered, choices emerged.
Lu Yu reluctantly selected Deadly Strike and Fierce Armor. As these two skills disappeared,
The fusion begins!
“I hope the merged ability won’t disappoint me!”
Lu Yu sat quietly, watching the integration progress.
The fusion progress of the deceased’s soul is even slower than absorbing the Shattered Heart Poison.
The process lasted for nearly an hour before the integration reached one hundred percent!
“Congratulations—you’ve gained immortality!”
Lu Yu did not see any words flashing before his eyes, but instead heard a voice ringing in his ears.
When the sound occurred, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Except for special circumstances, everything is displayed in text. Only true powerful abilities will have audio prompts.
Moreover, the voice prompt this time sounds a bit off!
“Uh!”
Lu Yu thought he had heard wrong.
“No way! Immortal body? You’re kidding, right?”
Lu Yu could even hear his own voice trembling.
As the prompt sound faded away, the text in front of him began to flicker.
He looked at the flickering lines of text and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He said, “Even if I had to abandon three star-soul skills, it would still be worth it.”
When the words in front of Lu Yu fully appeared before his eyes, his laughter grew even louder.
…
Immortal Body: The One and Only.
Level: One! (Upgrade method – Find the remains of a Level Nine lifeform and fuse with it to enhance your level!)
Attribute: None.
Description: Originating from the powerful ability born of the dead striving for survival! Driven by the belief in life, it sought the power of immortality. Eventually, it discovered the method to achieve an immortal body. When applied to the deceased, this immortal body ensures eternal undying existence. When applied to the living, it grants the living an immortal physical form!
Special Effect: When your HP reaches zero, your physical body will enter a state of void. Before entering this state, you will be unable to attack, and all attacks will be ineffective against you. At this time, your HP will recover at a rate of one hundred thousand points per second, until it is restored to your base maximum HP.
Ability: When struck by a fatal attack, you will absorb the energy from that strike, permanently increasing your maximum health by 100,000 points! This effect can be triggered once every 24 hours! Even if your maximum health has already reached the pinnacle of the Star Soul cultivation stage, this bonus can still stack infinitely!
Limitation: The Level 1 Immortality is not yet perfect. Your regeneration ability can only activate once every twelve hours!
…
For Lu Yu, this skill has already been perfected.
Even without the凶甲 and 杀戮重击.
But exchanging for the skill of immortality, it’s not a matter of being worth it, it’s just too worth it.
At this moment, the text in front of Lu Yu’s eyes had not yet disappeared, and new text was still being generated.
…
Massacre Promotion Activated – Life recovery rate increased to 200,000 points per second. When struck by a fatal blow, your maximum life permanently increases by 200,000 points!
…
“Haha, it seems Lady Luck is on my side today.” Lu Yu burst into laughter.
For a unique skill like this, the possibility of activating a promotion through killing is very low.
Today, having activated the effect of “Slaughter Promotion” on the skill he needed the most, he was already very satisfied.
As for the method of upgrading an immortal body, it was extremely headache-inducing for Lu Yu.
It actually requires the bones of a Level 9 lifeform; such a thing is certainly not easy to obtain.
Slay the Demon Lord?
With his current abilities, he’s practically looking for death!
But now, this is enough!
Lu Yu left a note for Xiaoxiao, telling him to take good care of the mine.
Lu Yu was teleported back to his own suite in Nanjing City before dawn.
This night was far from peaceful, yet it left him satisfied.
When the sun rises, breakfast is delivered by a waiter!
Lu Yu ate some breakfast and then took a long shower to wash away the smell of blood.
He did not leave the suite until nearly nine o’clock.
At this moment, Zhang Qing, Lao Wu, and Xiao Yu had already been waiting in a lounge area of the corridor.
Zhang Qing saw Lu Yu finally walk out and stood up, smiling. “Brother Lu, you finally came out. Last night, I already received the news that the last person has returned. Right now, he’s waiting at the entrance of the place we’re going. Is there anything you need to prepare? If not, let’s head out.”
“It’s better to prepare some food first,” thought Lu Yu after a moment’s consideration.
“Heh, you don’t need to worry about that,” Zhang Qing laughed. “I’ve already had the hotel preparing storage-friendly foods like beef jerky and steamed buns for several days. When we head down, everyone will grab a backpack—there’ll be enough to last for quite some time.”
“The backpack affects our mobility,” Lu Yu said, taking out several storage pearls from his backpack and tossing one to Zhang Qing and the others. “Each of these can hold up to ten thousand units of items. If you use it to store food, it should be enough to last you half a year.”
Zhang Qing and Lao Wu took the storage bead and examined it carefully, their hearts pounding with astonishment: “Such a wonderful treasure exists too?!”
“I happened to get some, and it’s just what I need right now.”
Lao Wu chuckled, “Haha, then I won’t be polite. Today, let’s raid the city’s restaurants and stock up on more food—it’s not a bad idea. Because once we go there, no one knows how long it’ll take before we can come out again.”
After a discussion, the four of them split up and swept through all the restaurants in Nanjing, taking all the easily stored food.
This purchase cost nearly three hundred thousand Star Spirit Pearls, but the cost was split among five people, so each person only had to pay sixty thousand!
Lu Yu was in charge of Lou Xiaoyu’s money. Since this time Lou Xiaoyu had been invited by him, he had to take full responsibility for everything related to Lou Xiaoyu.
As for the money from the fifth person, Zhang Qing will take responsibility first and then collect it from the fifth person later.
At dusk, the four of them, carrying food, followed Zhang Qing toward the west-central part of the city.
At dusk, the four individuals entered a business center.
The damage here is extremely severe, and the ground has been excavated, leaving a black hole dozens of meters deep.
Zhang Qing signaled the others to jump down.
After descending to the bottom of the cave, he heard a pair of blood-red eyes light up in the darkness. The voice, filled with displeasure, asked, “Why did you come so late?”
“In order to purchase things for you, remember to give me six hundred thousand Star Spirit Beads!” Zhang Qing tossed a storage pearl to the figure in the darkness.
The figure in the dark stepped forward.
“Blood Eye!” Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, not expecting the fifth person to actually be Blood Eye!
“Lu Yu, I’ve heard of you since I came back. You’re amazing! You actually managed to kill Ling Baitian!” Xue Yan was a huge man standing two meters tall, with half his face covered in scars resembling a centipede.
Zhang Qing said, “Let me introduce you. This is Wang Jilong, the leader of Xueyan, one of the three major organizations in Nanjing City!”
