Chapter 410: Underground Drilling

Boom!

The red light on the cave ceiling withdrew.

The blood dragon descended upon the blood bones—

The strange incident completely drained the young man’s desire to escape. He felt as though he had encountered a ghost.

The blood dragon shattered the original blood bone, and then the blood bone and the blood dragon transformed into a blood cocoon.

Inside the blood cocoon, there were golden bones, flesh, and thick, dragon-like blue veins growing throughout.

“Damn it, you idiot, run already!” The middle-aged man in the distance no longer transmitted his voice silently but instead shouted urgently.

He has robbed countless tombs!

I’ve also heard a lot of rumors, and I know that any change like this is never a good thing.

The middle-aged man was anxiously shouting at the youth, wishing desperately that he himself could step into the scene!

However, the young man’s calf muscles cramped badly, and he was almost in tears.

This is a contrast between mud and the sky, a difference in power hundreds of times greater!

He could sense how astonishing the power being born within the blood cocoon was.

That kind of power, which could reduce him to dust with just a wave of the hand, left him not even capable of resistance!

The young man turned around, but he discovered that the blood blister had already receded. All the blood had withdrawn into the flesh.

Boom!

A figure landed, and the person’s skin was renewed.

The young man immediately sat down on the ground, almost scared to the point of wetting his pants.

The young man could feel an unusual stirring within his star soul, as if some force had been activated, beginning to resonate at a certain frequency.

Lu Yu, it’s Lu Yu!

The young man was no fool either.

In an instant, he understood that the blood dragon was actually Lu Yu’s flesh and blood, having crossed the void to be reborn here!

This was a contingency plan he had set in place when he was only at the third level of Star Soul.

Even the most powerful, such as King Zun or even the King of Kings.

This skeleton was his very life.

After Lei Yan’s health was reduced to zero by the explosion, his flesh and blood entered the void and transcended space, drawn here by the soul imprint to be reborn.

In an instant, he saw through the illusion of control to the problem in Fanggang City, and at the same time, he sensed the disturbance right before him.

As for the young man in front of him, he had also sensed it, but simply had no time to pay attention to it!

Lu Yu put on a set of clothes and suddenly stood still with his eyes closed, not moving at all.

Words flickered before his eyes, and sounds echoed in his ears.

Reborn with the bones of a slaughter inheritor from the previous era, Lu Yu was astonished to discover that these bones were actually the bones of a King Zun!

The power that once resided in the bones has already vanished, leaving behind only a faint imprint of its former majesty.

Even this single strand of power is nearly equivalent to a Zun!

At that time, he was only at the third level; the difference was no less than thousands or even ten thousands of times.

He still feels terrified when he recalls how he refined this bone back then.

Perhaps it was the resonance between the murderous star souls, or maybe just luck. Either way, it was truly fortunate that I wasn’t backlashed.

“Rebirth complete, now drawing power from the bones!”

It means slaughter!

A cold gleam sparkled in Lu Yu’s eyes, filled with disbelief.

This skeleton is imbued with the same source of power that fueled his killings.

These forces are as mighty as an ocean.

He had never noticed it before.

These are merging with the power within his body due to their shared origin.

“Clang…”

Swords of slaughter quivered within him, rapidly absorbing these powers and then evolving!

Boom—boom—boom—

Every blade of carnage was evolving, instantly jumping to level six, and continuing to rise without stop!

Lu Yu watched as these blades of slaughter surged to the seventh level, and they continued to break through!

Level 8!

Lu Yu inhaled sharply, noticing that these star soldiers were still increasing in number and rapidly growing stronger.

Level 9!

Lu Yu looked at these blades of slaughter, each nearly three feet long, which had become ninth-level star weapons and had stopped evolving after reaching the peak of the ninth level.

Lu Yu thought to himself, “The amount of carnage and how many star soldiers I’ve had to devour to reach this level… yet the power contained within this single bone has already achieved it!”

Nine-star soldier, this is not the limit.

Going up further, there are the Supreme Star Soldiers. With his current Star Soldiers, they can definitely kill a Supreme being with the strength of a hundred Zun.

However, to evolve into a Supreme Star Soldier, how long would it take for tens of millions of Star Soldiers to undergo this transformation!

Lu Yu didn’t have time to think about these things in detail.

Another force has already been generated within him!

“The mirror clone has been successfully constructed.”

“You possess a reincarnation-type skill that surpasses mirror clones. Integrate your abilities!”

“The Fire God merges with the mirror clone, evolving into the Wrath of the Fire God!”

There was a flicker of flames in Lu Yu’s eyes, as if an immense, raging power was about to erupt from within him. The air around him instantly became as scorching as the temperature at the earth’s core.

The change was only a fleeting moment and then disappeared.

Lu Yu couldn’t help but throw his head back and laugh out loud!

Wrath of the Fire God:

Rank: King

Description: Your anger is the eruption of the Flame’s Might. You are the Fire Deity—anger and the will to battle are your strengths.

Ability:

Skills: Any damage done to you, even if your body is torn apart and your flesh shattered, will be reborn through flames. Each rebirth consumes a different amount of your life force, depending on the severity of the damage. As long as you still have a single drop of blood left, you can be reborn from the flames.

Wrath of the Fire God: Once you transform into the Fire God, your flames will not only inflict damage upon enemies but also accumulate the power of the Fire God’s fury within their bodies. When this power accumulates to the maximum health capacity of the enemy, it will trigger countless waves of explosions, each wave reaching a level capable of utterly destroying your enemy. However, this devastating explosion will come at the cost of your own life.

If your attack is a weapon, and its power can damage weapons, then it will damage the weapon. If it cannot harm the weapon, the fury of the Fire God will accumulate in the same way, until it reaches a force capable of destroying the enemy’s weapon, and then directly destroy the enemy’s weapon!

Each explosion drains a significant amount of your life force, and with every subsequent blast, the loss of your vitality increases. Your life cannot be restored until your enemy is blown to death. Only after your enemy’s demise can your life force begin to recover!

Lu Yu smiled, realizing that the fusion of powers had indeed caused a mutation!

And that character for “level” represents a kind of evaluation—it is the power of a King, a force surpassing even the Royal Revered, and is indeed his strongest power at the moment!

Lei Yan needed his own bones to be continuously injured in order to accumulate explosive power, while he instead built up power through his attacks.

The level of accumulated power actually comes at the cost of the enemy’s maximum health.

After laughing, Lu Yu also fell into a brief silence.

If he were facing a powerful opponent like King Wang or Wang Zun, he might be killed before he even had a chance to accumulate enough strength to reach the enemy’s maximum health.

Although this skill is powerful, it still isn’t enough for him to challenge a top expert like Wang.

Lu Yu examined the two transformed skills and suddenly fixed his gaze on the young man’s position, his voice turning cold. “Come out. Void Star Soul inheritor. I didn’t expect you to actually dare sneak in here! Have you been watching for so long, thinking I wouldn’t notice you?”

The young man sat there, already completely drained of strength.

Now he could only stare blankly, unable to move even an inch.

Lu Yu said coldly, “I don’t have time to play games with you. Don’t think I don’t know what the Void Star Soul is—a fake soul. One of the nine mutated star souls, the Void Star Soul allows you to merge into the spatial rift, but don’t think that makes you untouchable. Come out now, or I’ll kill you without hesitation.”

“Please, please, I won’t dare to do it again!”

The young man suddenly shouted and then retracted his ability.

His face was as pale as a ghost’s, and his body was as limp as烂泥!

“You two have quite the nerve, daring to sneak into the forbidden area I marked off. Are you looking to die?” Lu Yu’s face was icy, his gaze passing over countless skeletons as it settled on the middle-aged man.

“Boom!”

All the white bones suddenly stood up at once. These skeletons had no aura about them, only an overwhelming murderous intent so terrifying that it nearly scared the guts out of the middle-aged man and the youth.

“It’s my fault, Mr. Lu, all my fault,” the middle-aged man immediately said, his knees buckling as he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: “I was the one who forced him to come in. If you want to kill someone, kill me!”

“Master, it’s not that you forced me. I did this willingly,” the young man said, somehow finding the strength to rise to his feet again. Kneeling before Lu Yu, he shouted, “If you’re going to kill someone, kill me! My master has nothing to do with this.”

“Hmph, both of you deserve to die!” Lu Yu said coldly, “Daring to sneak into my forbidden area. If I hadn’t reincarnated in time this time, and you two had ruined my blood bones, I would have lost even the chance to be reborn.”

The young and middle-aged people then realized that this blood bone was Lu Yu’s contingency plan, a medium that could enable his rebirth.

The two of them immediately broke out in a cold sweat, realizing they had nearly caused a catastrophe.

The middle-aged man’s voice trembled as he said, “Mr. Lu, I know you can never forgive us. But please, for the sake of the fact that he, like you, possesses one of the Nine Great Mutated Star Souls, let him go!”

“I’m a fair person!” Lu Yu said coldly. “Breaking in here is a capital offense. However, since you haven’t committed any major crimes yet, I can spare you this once. But tell me, what do you think can buy your lives?”

“This—”

Middle-aged and young people were all stunned in an instant.

Giving one’s life in exchange for another’s—how could those two possibly have anything that Lu Yu would set his eyes on!

“Mr. Lu, may I discuss this with my apprentice first?” The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then said firmly.

“Come in and discuss it.”

Lu Yu waved his hand, and the white bone skeletons standing upright immediately parted to create a path, allowing the middle-aged man to walk through.

The middle-aged man also knew that this was Lu Yu’s way of preventing them from escaping.

He also decided to go all out.

Even if we manage to escape this time, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to get very far.

If Lu Yu put a bounty on them, the two of them wouldn’t even have a place to hide!

A middle-aged man walked in, pulled the young man aside, and began discussing something in hushed tones.

The young man kept nodding, occasionally frowning and looking discouraged, and finally nodded with a bitter expression.

Only then did the middle-aged man pull the young man around to face him, and bowing deeply to Lu Yu, he said, “Mr. Lu, I know my chances of survival are slim. However, if you’re willing, I’m prepared to offer you a share of our future profits.”

“Do you really think you can give me a promissory note before taking my life?” Lu Yu let out a cold snort and said, “What a great calculation you’ve made!”

The middle-aged man immediately waved his hand and said, “No, it’s not a promissory note. We guarantee that we definitely can. And before coming here, I actually scouted several locations, all of which were undiscovered treasures. And, and—”

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, and then spoke reluctantly, “I… I possess the earth dragon’s ability to dig through the ground, allowing me to move freely through any muddy terrain. We discovered that beneath the ruins of the royal city you indicated, there is actually another sealed tomb! Moreover, my apprentice and I together can see through anything underground within a hundred meters, even penetrating steel walls. I can help you locate every single item hidden in your ruins without missing anything, saving you time and effort!”
