Chapter 334: Shaking the Mountain

The city consists of eleven circles in total. The central circle is surrounded by the other ten circles, and each circle is a gigantic city.

What Lu Yu saw before him was ten cities guarding a single city.

It is evident that this civilization was once glorious, given that they were able to build a city like this.

Yet no matter how glorious it once was, all that remains now is a pile of ruins!

Lu Yu flew all the way, observing carefully.

There are hundreds of thousands of dragons, yet not a single one has been seen fused with a human body!

When he approached the center of a circle, he found that there was also a beast confronting a dragon here, and the dragon’s head was similarly fused with the upper half of a human body.

“Another one!” Lu Yu inhaled sharply, carefully observing the dragon before him. It was nearly identical to the one in the center.

Lu Yu walked to the center of the city, where there was a platform. The platform was one meter high and several meters in diameter.

However, the platform has already shattered.

Lu Yu tried to move the platform aside, but unfortunately, the ground beneath was already stone, with nothing else underneath.

Lu Yu knew he didn’t have much time and didn’t hesitate. He quickly moved toward another circle.

The second circle is the same as the first one, and there is a platform.

Unfortunately, the platform shattered.

Here, there is also a dragon body fused with a human figure confronting a giant beast.

A city with ten circles, eleven heads and eleven giant dragons integrated with humans.

Hundreds of thousands of dragons, as if led by these eleven mighty dragons.

Besides the Poison Dragon Grass in the center, there were no other treasures.

Lu Yu checked the time. Twenty-four hours had already been wasted.

Lu Yu left the city, not caring what lay ahead, and flew straight down, hoping to find another city.

This land seems as if it is dead, devoid of any sensation, not even the faintest breath of life remains.

Lu Yu crossed the endless plain, and the boundless wilderness still stretched out before him.

Lu Yu didn’t even flinch.

Here, it’s all about luck anyway.

Obtaining the Venomous Dragon Grass and the Venomous Dragon Fruit, he already felt that his luck was quite good.

Lu Yu doesn’t feel any regret, even if he gains nothing at all now.

Moreover, he still had two days to search, which was neither too much nor too little time.

During the nearly half-hour flight, two mountain peaks emerged on the horizon ahead.

The mountain peaks themselves are pitch black, and become even darker in the night!

Only on the mountain peaks did the stars twinkle, shining even more brilliantly in the dark night!

When Lu Yu first saw the starlight shimmering on the mountain peaks, he was so startled that he exclaimed, “Star Spirit Ore! This is Star Spirit Ore!”

When he saw the Starlight Mine at the end of the horizon, it was still very far away.

He had seen the star-spirit ore in the Domain of the Demon Sovereign and thought that if this mine was about a thousand meters high, it would be impressive enough.

A star crystal mine a kilometer high is already capable of producing stardust.

If he could find a way to shake the Star Spirit Mine and bring out some Starlight Essence, that would be a real profit!

He flew faster, wanting to see how big this mine really was.

But he flew fast, yet the mine at the end of the horizon still did not seem any closer.

The Star Soul Mine was already a thousand meters high before his eyes, still at the horizon’s edge.

“My goodness, could it really be three thousand meters high!” Lu Yu couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

This is even larger than the mines in the Domain of Unified Magic.

Lu Yu accelerated—

The mine before him was still expanding, growing so vast it seemed to nearly touch the sky.

A three-thousand-meter-deep mine shaft lay before them—

However, the mine was still at the end of the horizon!

“It’s not just three thousand meters; this mine is at least five thousand meters high!”

Lu Yu finally saw the mine getting closer, but the height of the mine was increasing even faster.

He was even more astonished.

After all, he had never seen such a massive Protoss mine before.

If I had to describe it, this is the real treasure mountain!

When Lu Yu stood before the mine, two towering Star Spirit Mines, each nearly six thousand meters high, stood side by side before him.

“This——”

Lu Yu was stunned, hardly able to believe it!

At the six-thousand-meter Star Spirit Mine, its production of Star Spirit Stones is equivalent to that of hundreds of cities on Earth combined.

In terms of value, the Grade 9 Star Spirit Stones produced here, including the Star Blossoms, are even more valuable, making these two items truly priceless.

“With this mine, what couldn’t be exchanged for it!”

Lu Yu murmured to himself.

The two mountains before him were like two treasure mountains; taking just one would have been worth it.

The key question is, can such a large mountain really be taken away?

Lu Yu circled the mountain, and the more he walked, the more restless he became.

Lu Yu clenched his teeth, gripping the stone sword tightly in his hand.

The Star Spirit Mine has always been impervious to damage, except by the Magic Ape; even chipping off a single stone from it is difficult.

Now, with the Half-Star Artifact, he wanted to give it a try.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, his arm muscles tensing and veins bulging.

“Boom!”

Lu Yu launched his attack, and in an instant, tens of thousands of sword beams shot toward a star spirit mine.

Boom… Boom…

The sword light fell upon the mine like a star exploding, scattering in all directions, causing the earth to ripple like ocean waves.

The power of the Four Sovereigns split into tens of thousands of sword strikes, capable of shattering any mountain.

Even the earth beneath the mountains split apart.

Every inch of land was cracked, with gullies extending for dozens of miles, each fissure plunging tens of feet deep.

There are no more restrictions here—

Every strike from Lu Yu unleashed maximum power, bringing about truly earth-shattering changes.

After countless beams of sword light pressed down, Lu Yu’s stone sword also slashed onto the Star Spirit Mine.

Vroom!

Lu Yu felt as if the stone sword in his hand had rebounded all the force from the previous slash back at him.

The stone sword emitted a humming roar, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

The counter-shock force traveled up the stone sword, into Lu Yu’s arm, and then spread throughout his entire body.

In an instant, the power of tens of thousands of sword strikes rebounded entirely, exploding within Lu Yu’s body.

Lu Yu didn’t even have time to react before being shattered by his own power.

His flesh and blood transformed into flames, rapidly coalescing.

The stone sword in Lu Yu’s hand was still vibrating with a “buzzing” sound, and his arm remained numb and aching.

This was his first time confronting the Protoss mine directly, and he discovered that this mountain was truly indestructible.

Where his stone sword had just slashed down, there wasn’t even a speck of stone dust, let alone the slightest trace of a mark.

“It can’t be broken!”

Lu Yu clenched his teeth, staring at the two mountains, truly feeling a sense of不甘心 (resentment).

It’s uncertain whether we’ll meet again in the future.

Even now, watching him give up two such large Protoss mines would make anyone feel frustrated.

Lu Yu circled the mountain once again, then finally steeled his heart and said, “There’s no rule specifying how big an item you can take out. If worse comes to worst, I’ll just take this entire mountain with me.”

I guess anything that you can hold in your hands and lift up is considered something you can take with you, right?

Lu Yu decided to take this opportunity to search for treasure and give it a try.

If he couldn’t manage, he would hold up this mountain, waiting until the appointed time to see whether he could take it with him.

With this mountain, nothing else is needed.

Lu Yu found a suitable spot and, taking a deep breath, gripped a star spirit stone pillar and shook it with all his strength.

The power of the Fourfold is the strength of four quintillion.

Lu Yu felt that this was the power of Sibai Mountain, and it should be enough to shake the mountain.

The Star Soul Mine remained completely still, as if it had taken root in the earth itself.

“I don’t believe it!” Lu Yu took a deep breath and directly activated the Star-Invoking Technique.

A faint star in the sky suddenly erupted with a blinding radiance like that of the midday sun. As the light flickered, a beam several zhang long pierced through the darkness, heading toward the shattered continent.

The closer the light beam, the dimmer the glow.

When the light transformed into the power of stars and fell into Lu Yu’s body, his body seemed to explode. A force like a tsunami surged into him.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s heart pounded violently, louder than the roaring thunder from the sky.

Lu Yu’s attack power, vitality, and even his physical strength were rapidly increasing.

Harnessing the power of the stars through the might of the至尊 is even more powerful than when the星主 once channeled the stellar forces.

The three attributes fluctuating before Lu Yu were not measured in trillions, but in tens of trillions.

Each heartbeat is a manifestation of immense power.

Lu Yu’s power surged from the fourth realm directly to the fifth, then to the sixth, seventh… realms.

It’s like an endless downward leap, reaching nine, ten, eleven…

Lu Yu never expected it to be so terrifying.

His body seemed on the verge of bursting, with every blood vessel bulging and every tendon standing out prominently on his skin.

Thirteen, fourteen… such overwhelming power even startled Lu Yu.

His skin had cracked open with deep fissures, and blood was oozing out.

It was like this, his three major attributes were still flickering.

The fluctuation of attack power finally stopped when it reached twenty zuns.

“Am I going to explode from this?” Lu Yu’s entire body was covered in torn muscles, with wounds several inches long repeatedly splitting open and healing, only to rupture again.

Everyone’s strength increases gradually, and only after adapting to the human body can one accommodate more power.

Lu Yu’s power was increased sixfold from its original level.

Such an enhancement couldn’t even be measured in trillions, and with such immense power surging into his body, even Lu Yu, as tough as steel, found it hard to withstand.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and reached out again to shake the Starling Mine.

“Boom… boom…”

This time, the mine was significantly activated.

The soil and gravel around the mine were flying in all directions, and the mine itself seemed as if it were about to collapse, shaking violently.

If someone had seen this at that moment, they would have gone crazy with frustration.

A person less than two meters tall is pushing a mountain that is six thousand meters high.

Such a massive mountain range was continuously shaking under the force of this person, and it seemed as if it were about to collapse.

The entire Xingling Mine was shaking, and the tremors grew increasingly violent, kicking up dirt that surged into the sky like a storm.

The earth itself was shaking, the ground undulating continuously, spreading outward in waves.

The mountain’s sway has already reached a thirty-five degree angle—

At the moment when the mountain swung to its maximum angle, Lu Yu suddenly leaped up, slammed his hand on the mountain peak, and forcefully pressed it down to the ground while shouting fiercely, “Move for me!”

Boom—boom—boom—

The mountain roots beneath the soil lifted the earth, departing from the land.

The sky turned dark, covered by countless sand and rocks, as if a sandstorm were surging towards the horizon.

The mountain collapsed—

This mountain is nearly seven thousand meters high in total, with its underground roots reaching a depth of thousands of meters!

Lu Yu walked to the mountain peak, hugged it with both arms, took a deep breath, and shouted, “Rise!”

Boom!

A mountain was lifted by Lu Yu, who held it by its peak. The entire Star Spirit Mine was excavated—and even lifted—by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu’s feet were sinking into the earth.

“It’s too heavy.”

Lu Yu could feel the difference when he lifted the mountain; this mine was unlike ordinary stones.

This mountain cannot be shaken without the strength of ten men.

And when he lifts it up now, it’s barely manageable.

It takes at least the strength of eighteen men to lift the mountain.

Lu Yu, holding up a mountain, felt a bit proud and said with a smirk, “I wonder what everyone’s expression would be if I brought this mountain back home like this.”

“Congratulations on obtaining the second treasure. You may take with you anything you can move. Since you are the first person to move the Star Spirit Mine in the treasure hunting area, we will reward you with a clue to another treasure.”
