Chapter 335: Too Greedy

It’s easier to shake a mountain than to climb to the heavens!

Since ancient times, all human beings have understood that a mountain is like an immovable giant. Majestic and massive, mountains can only be seen and gradually destroyed bit by bit; no one can move an entire mountain.

In many legends and myths, characters are often depicted as having the immense strength to move mountains and shift seas, illustrating their extraordinary power.

Nowadays, Lu Yu has not only moved a mountain but also uprooted it entirely!

A mountain towering seven thousand meters is no ordinary peak, but a celestial spirit mine, weighing eighteen jin, a place not even a nine-headed hydra could hope to shake.

Lu Yu was held in someone’s arms. From a distance, his body appeared negligible, even smaller than a speck of dust!

People would feel as if they were watching a mountain moving on its own.

In the Zhi Zun system, a mountain like this would normally be impossible for even a Zhi Zun to take away upon entering.

Lu Yu’s power is different; he is simply an exception!

Now the voice prompt indicates that Lu Yu can move the mine and take it with him.

This was exactly what Lu Yu had anticipated, which also made him feel a surge of excitement.

This meant that he could take this mountain back with him. The ore mined from this mountain would amount to billions, not to mention the precious stardust that would be produced!

A cold voice revealed the location of another treasure.

Although it was just an additional coordinate indicator in Lu Yu’s vision, it was still better than aimlessly searching without any direction.

Lu Yu carried the Starling Mine on his back, his eyes fixed on another mountain as he frowned.

Human greed is truly boundless!

Carrying away a mountain, Lu Yu was still not satisfied!

He isn’t willing to give up on this mountain now either.

Leaving the treasure mountain empty-handed—anyone with a bit of ambition would surely find it a pity!

Lu Yu threw the mountain he was carrying onto the ground and circled around another mountain.

Taking two mountains away at the same time, he felt that it was definitely impossible.

Because he is already struggling to carry a mountain, adding another one would crush him to death.

However, as Lu Yu looked at the mountain, he truly felt不甘心!

Lu Yu circled the mountain a couple more times. The more he walked, the less he wanted to let go.

Finally, Lu Yu suddenly leaped to the mountainside and sat among a cluster of stone pillars, clenching his teeth and muttering, “If I can’t take it with me, I’ll try swallowing it instead!”

He has swallowed star spirits, but never star spirit ore.

If we can swallow it, leave the last twelve hours to search for the next treasure. The more of this mine we can swallow, the better!

Lu Yu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly inhaling deeply.

Under the power of an ultimate expert, the suction force of the Star-Devouring Pearl increased dramatically.

Boom—boom—boom—

The Starling Mine trembled violently as clusters of ore burst open. The outer layers of the Starling Ore shattered into dust, and countless beams of starlight surged toward Lu Yu through the swirling debris.

The sky and earth within a radius of dozens of kilometers were submerged in starlight, forming a Milky Way that encircled Lu Yu’s body.

“It’s done!”

Lu Yu burst into laughter, becoming extremely excited. Without a second thought, he began devouring starlight in large gulps.

He never expected the Star-Devouring Pearl to possess such power, capable of even devouring the Star Spirit Mine.

If that’s the case, should he wish to destroy the city’s astral mine in the future, all he needs to do is step inside and devour it; no one would be able to stop him!

This also saves the trouble of mining!

Lu Yu pondered in his heart and soon calmed down, focusing all his attention on absorbing the starlight!

The amount of starlight he absorbed in one breath caused the mine to collapse by nearly fifty meters, shrinking in size, with at least one hundred and thirty million Star Spirit Stones swallowed by Lu Yu.

He still had thirty-four hours to devour this mine.

Lu Yu abandoned all other thoughts and focused solely on refining his bones.

The golden hue of the King’s Bone within his body was gradually being replaced by starlight, to the point where even the crimson red of flames began to be overtaken by the light of stars.

His health, stamina, and attack power were all increasing dramatically.

Thirty-four hours, Lu Yu took three big breaths.

The Star Bone progress has reached 55%!

Excluding the three main attributes enhanced by the power of stars.

Lu Yu’s own life limit reached eleven Zun, breaking through the previous limit of ten Zun.

His own attack power is five zuns, and his tendons and bones are ten zuns!

Lu Yu calculated the time. With twelve hours remaining, he glanced at the mountain, which now appeared at least two hundred meters shorter. He still felt不甘心 (discontent) and clenched his teeth tightly.

The additional two points of attack power were something he had never dared to imagine before.

After all, this is an attack power of 20 million billion, equivalent to the strength of 20 million billion, sufficient to rival the force of a hundred mountains.

If proceeding at a normal cultivation speed, it would take at least a couple of decades for few people to reach such a level.

Lu Yu accomplished it in over thirty hours, a speed that would make many Supreme Elders envious to death!

In this way, Lu Yu was actually still not satisfied.

At least this time he took some of it with him, and his mood improved a bit!

Lu Yu lifted another mountain and dashed across the earth.

Lu Yu could no longer fly.

Lu Yu took each step deliberately, like a mountain that had sprouted two legs, each step shaking the earth and causing the ground to tremble!

Lu Yu left himself twelve hours, fearing that he might encounter some trouble and be unable to take the third treasure with him.

He pushed his speed to the limit; even carrying a mountain, he couldn’t possibly move any faster!

The signpost ahead still pointed straight forward, with no end in sight.

Time is also passing more quickly.

Twelve hours had passed, eight of which he spent running, yet the pointer still remained fixed ahead, unmoved.

“Damn it, I’ve been tricked!” Lu Yu’s mind raced as he thought about the three things he had obtained.

Venomous Dragon Grass, Venomous Dragon Fruit, and this mine—

No, you also have to count the portion of the mine that was absorbed by yourself.

Such a reward had long surpassed the rewards of the highest level.

After becoming the Guardian, Lu Yu suspected that the world was being watched by several pairs of eyes.

He believed that everything he did was being watched, and this area certainly had its own consciousness.

If entering the randomly assigned area here means that even sound cannot be a disturbance, then this instruction might itself be a form of interference.

I’ve gained too much for my own good, letting the awareness here become completely overwhelmed.

Lu Yu watched as time continued to pass. When the countdown began with ten minutes remaining, he also spotted a small hill rising on the horizon ahead.

The mountain is not very high, only about fifty meters.

But— that was a Star Soul Mountain, producing the souls of blue stars!

“Damn it, have you really started interfering?” Lu Yu looked up at the sky, realizing he had been tricked.

At his speed, it would take at least another half hour to arrive.

Either abandon the Zerg mine in hand, and he could make it there with five minutes remaining.

But with only five minutes left, would he possibly be able to lift that mountain?

Lu Yu didn’t dare to take the risk.

He decisively took a deep breath and then stopped.

Carrying a mountain over six thousand meters high on one’s back and then sprinting for twelve hours straight would be too much even for an iron man.

“Three things, and it’s worth it.”

Lu Yu listened as the countdown accelerated, becoming more frequent. Time was up.

“The transmission is beginning,” a cold voice announced.

Lu Yu’s vision dimmed as he was being removed from the treasure-hunting area.

The starry power around him faded away, and Lu Yu immediately felt a terrifying mountain pressing down upon him.

The power of the Eighteen Venerables, beyond a thousand trillion comes the Zetta!

One zhao is ten zun, equivalent to ninety-nine point nine trillion.

Now, the power of eighteen Zuns is pressing down upon a mere human whose strength is only at the level of six Zuns.

Lu Yu’s flesh and bones were on the verge of shattering in an instant.

Earth, Fanggang—

The sky was bright, it was noon, and the sunlight was shining everywhere!

Many people in the center of Fanggang were still wandering around the city, or preparing to go to the newly developed market to trade some items before heading out for hunting.

Suddenly—

People closest to the center of Fanggang City felt the sky suddenly darken.

Then—

Boom!

The earth undulates, as if a nuclear bomb had struck, causing the entire city to rise and fall with the shockwaves.

Everyone looked up and saw the center of Fanggang City, where a massive, dark stone towering six thousand meters high stood in a conical shape, broad at the top and narrow at the bottom.

Many people were stunned, not knowing how this thing had suddenly appeared.

They stood there in stunned silence, and only when the huge stone suddenly tilted slightly in one direction did people realize that something was wrong.

“Run!”

Numerous people’s scalps tingled as they let out eerie cries and fled to both sides.

At this very moment, Lu Yu had just returned to Fanggang.

His body was on the verge of being crushed to pieces.

Without the power of the stars, Lu Yu’s strength plummeted, and he couldn’t even hold on for a tenth of a second before releasing his grip.

Without a second thought, Lu Yu dashed into the villa where his mother lived, scooped her up in one swift motion, and rushed into the domain. Then, he shouted to the heavens, “Run for your lives! I’m not responsible if you get crushed!”

His voice rumbled, shaking the entire harbor so much that it seemed to come alive.

People in the center of the city were running.

Only then did someone realize that this was not a stone, but a mountain.

“This damn place is a Protoss mine,” someone howled, his eyes turning red with greed.

“Run quickly! If it hits you, you’ll surely die!”

Everywhere there were screams, and the crowd surged like a tide.

The Supreme Black Tiger’s fur stood on end all over its body. Seeing such a towering mountain, it immediately darted into its domain.

Behind Liu Xing was the domain itself, and now he leaned back even further, clutching his notebook as he rolled straight into the domain.

Due to air resistance, the mountain fell somewhat slowly; even so, it was still a massive star plummeting down, causing an entire city to suffocate.

Many people ran away in panic, watching a mountain slowly collapse, crushing clusters of houses and reducing entire buildings to rubble, leaving them utterly horrified.

Boom!

The mountain finally fell.

The city of Fanggang trembled for more than a minute due to the shockwave, and the residual force spread beyond the city, causing even the wilderness to undulate.

Some with slower legs were crushed into pulp, while those slightly slower were hit by the shockwave of the collapsing mountain, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

After the mountain collapsed, it rolled sideways several times before finally coming to a complete stop.

Everything below the mountain was shattered.

People can see only this mine!

Now, many people have finally seen the mountain’s true face.

Someone rubbed their eyes vigorously and plopped down on the ground, exclaiming, “My eyesight is blurred, definitely blurred!”

“Is this the Starling Mine? Am I dead?”

“Oh my God, how did this happen?”

“The mountain is over seven thousand meters high, a Spirit Mine reaching seven thousand meters! How much Spirit Stone must this mountain contain!”

Many people went crazy, their eyes wide open, refusing to believe the reality before them.

Some of the smarter ones gave it a little thought, recalling Lu Yu’s loud shout and considering the location of this mine, they couldn’t help but shudder and exclaim, “Goodness gracious! Could this mountain possibly have been brought in by Lu Yu?!”
