Countdown begins—
The stars in the sky above the dark planet seemed to dim considerably all at once.
The shattered continent instantly resembled a wounded beast, its silence so profound that it felt suffocating.
Lu Yu’s anxious heart suddenly calmed down, and he stood still without moving.
Because he really didn’t know where to start!
He stared at several fragmented continents drifting in the sky and muttered to himself, “Seventy-two hours—it’s impossible to search even a tenth of this continent!”
The time is too short!
Lu Yu strode directly toward the ruins in a single step.
Since it’s a search, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Lu Yu decided to start searching inch by inch from the nearest location—might as well rely on luck!
Lu Yu felt that the ruins before him resembled a vast city, stretching endlessly for miles on both sides, with no sign of the city’s edge even at the horizon.
As Lu Yu approached the beast bone and dragon bone, the slight breeze he created with his movement was enough to turn the two white skeletons into ashes that scattered into the air.
Lu Yu thought he could take the dragon bone, after all, it seemed to be a supreme bone.
Unfortunately, there’s not even a bone left now.
Lu Yu could only sigh inwardly, feeling unlucky to not even be able to take the dragon bone.
As Lu Yu took his first step into the ruins, he could immediately sense the grandeur and vastness of the site.
Broken walls lay in ruins, with tiles as wide as dozens of zhang scattered about.
A short section of the ruined wall was still several dozen meters high.
Such scenes are common here; the city seems as if it were built for a race of giants.
Lu Yu saw more beast bones and dragon corpses among the ruins, each one incredibly huge, tightly entwined together as if they were still fighting even after death.
Expanses of ruins blocked Lu Yu’s view.
The deeper Lu Yu walked in, the more this ruin resembled a vast maze. Piles upon piles of bones lay everywhere, as if a terrifying war had once raged here long ago.
Lu Yu walked among the ruins, feeling somewhat dizzy in his head.
Lu Yu flew straight up, wanting to get a clear view of the entire ruins. However, the city’s sheer size still exceeded his imagination.
He ascended a hundred meters into the air and saw a circle, yet still could not see the end of the city.
Therefore, he kept ascending, again and again.
The higher you rise, the stronger the gravitational pull from the ground becomes.
Lu Yu exerted all his strength, and finally, when he ascended to an altitude of 2,000 meters, he could move no further. Above his head, there was still more than 2,000 meters left to reach another fragmented continent.
He is now at the central dividing point between the two shattered continents and can no longer fly any further.
The continent beneath his feet exerted a pull like that of a thousand towering mountains, weighing him down relentlessly and preventing him from rising.
Meanwhile, the landmass above him was exerting even greater pressure, preventing him from rising upward.
However, such a result left Lu Yu stunned mid-air, as he looked down and saw the city beneath his feet.
This city is a huge circle. At its center lies a point that seems to be the core, and around this point, there are a total of ten circles, all arranged in a very orderly manner.
Lu Yu looked down at the city from a height of two thousand meters and barely managed to see its entire outline.
The city is so incredibly vast that it doesn’t even feel like a city anymore—it’s more like an entire country.
And here, Lu Yu also saw everything happening in the city, which deeply shocked him.
From the outskirts to the heart of the city, hundreds of thousands, even millions, of beast bones and dragon bones are densely scattered throughout.
Moreover, the closer to the city center, the more animal bones and dragon bones there were.
Before the circle in the city center, there was a wall cast from beast bones that kept the dragon bones outside.
“This is a war!”
Lu Yu murmured softly to himself.
If you still don’t understand what’s going on at this point, you must be really stupid.
Lu Yu discovered a peculiar site in the sky where a battlefield was unfolding. There, a colossal beast towering nearly a thousand zhang high stood in confrontation with a giant dragon.
However, both sides maintained their attacking postures, yet only two skeletons remained.
Lu Yu’s heart stirred, and he descended toward the two skeletons.
As he was about to reach the top of the giant dragon’s head, he inhaled sharply with a chill of fear!
Because above the dragon’s forehead, between its two horns, a human torso is fused with the dragon bone.
“It’s also a human who has merged with a dragon!”
When Lu Yu landed on the dragon’s body, the dragon bones did not turn to ashes and dissipate.
However, Lu Yu could not sense any power fluctuations on this dragon bone either.
The colossal beast did not turn into ashes either, yet not even a trace of power fluctuation remained in its bones.
“All life has lost its strength. What exactly has happened!” Lu Yu’s scalp tingled, finding it utterly unbelievable.
All living beings should still have been locked in combat, yet in an instant, they were reduced to white bones, without even a moment of resistance or struggle.
What could have caused both combatants, locked in a fierce struggle, to suddenly die like this?
He understands the dragon race.
This race is warlike and powerful; to slay hundreds of thousands of dragons in an instant, such power is too immense.
“Could it be another king as well?”
Lu Yu couldn’t find anything useful around the dragon bone. After a brief moment of thought, he flew directly toward the city center.
He remembered there being a black spot in the center of the city, more like a mass of black mist.
Lu Yu soared over piles of beast bones and dashed past one ruined structure after another.
After he crossed over the bone wall forged by the giant beasts, he saw the black spot at the center that he had seen from high above.
Black is a ground covered by black gas dozens of zhang in diameter.
The dark mist gathered without dispersing, hovering in place like a thick fog that refused to move.
Lu Yu slowly walked toward the mist. After accidentally inhaling a small wisp of fog drifting from the black gas, he immediately realized that the mist was poisonous.
Lu Yu inhaled the toxic gas, which was quickly neutralized by the myriad toxins within his body.
“The toxicity is formidable; even a Zun entering here wouldn’t last long!”
Lu Yu is now an expert in the use of toxins. With just a slight test, he could discern the strength of the poison gas and walked into the black mist.
Lu Yu felt as if his foot had stepped on something soft, like a plant.
Lu Yu lowered his head and saw, beneath the dark aura at his feet, a patch of black grass about a foot in length. Each blade of the black grass seemed to have a tiny dragon coiled around its stem.
“This is Poisonous Dragon Grass!”
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback, momentarily at a loss before these little plants. He carefully examined the Venomous Dragon Grass to confirm that he hadn’t mistaken it.
Lu Yu was also afraid that he might have made a mistake.
He carefully recalled every detail of the information given to him by Bai Lian Huogu, and finally burst into laughter. “No, it’s great! This is the Poison Dragon Grass. The appearance, even the growing environment, they are exactly the same. This truly is the Poison Dragon Grass!”
Lu Yu’s heart was pounding as if it were about to burst. He never imagined he’d be so lucky as to find Dragon Poison Grass in a place like this!
Without possessing the Ten Thousand Poisons Body, one couldn’t possibly get in.
Because the poison here is an extremely potent toxin capable of corroding even the most supreme beings, leaving no trace of their bodies behind!
Venomous Dragon Grass—it’s the main ingredient for refining Star Tools!
He didn’t know whether this Poison Dragon Grass was actually related to the Poison Dragon.
However, among the materials for the Star Refining Device that the bones beneath the City of Demons had provided him, several primary components determined the final attributes of the Star Device after its formation.
“Just this one thing is enough!” Lu Yu excitedly threw a powerful punch into the air.
The treasure hunt area is definitely worth visiting!
He has been collecting materials all along, but he never really considered the main ingredient.
Because the main ingredients are hard to come by. If you happen to find any, don’t be picky.
The person who refined the fire bones said before that it’s already a divine gift for an era to produce a single primary material.
Moreover, even if one possesses the main ingredients, it does not necessarily mean they have the Star-Calling Technique.
Lu Yu didn’t even dare to think about obtaining the main ingredient in a short amount of time.
Now that the main ingredients and the Star Attraction Technique are both complete, his stellar artifact is finally within reach!
Lu Yu stared at the Poisonous Dragon Grass on the ground and looked toward the center of the dark aura, saying, “If the person who told me this was right, among a cluster of Poisonous Dragon Grass, only the central plant is the main one that absorbs the essence. The other Poisonous Dragon Grass will keep withering, while only the central one continues to grow endlessly.”
Lu Yu walked toward the center, the venomous dragon grass beneath his feet being trampled, yet it resiliently stood up again, swaying in the black aura.
In the center of this patch of Poison Dragon Grass, a two-foot-long black plant stood upright.
Above the dark grass lay a dragon shadow, resembling a miniature version of the venomous dragon. It was about one meter long, with scales covering its body and a unique horn atop its head.
“It’s absolutely impossible to say that Poison Dragon Grass and the Poison Dragon are the same thing!”
Lu Yu took a deep, excited breath and approached the Venomous Dragon Grass.
The tip of the Poison Dragon Grass slightly bends, with two green fruits, each about the size of a cat’s eye, exuding a faint fragrance from the branch.
“This is a Poison Dragon Fruit!” Lu Yu felt a bit dizzy, not expecting the Poison Dragon Grass to actually bear fruit.
The Poison Dragon Fruit does not have a fixed time for bearing fruit; once it falls to the ground, it rots immediately and loses its effect.
Packed in crystal boxes right after harvesting, the effects of the fruits can be preserved. This is also the only way to store Poison Dragon Fruits.
However, the Venom Dragon Fruit cannot be used to forge star weapons.
However, the Dragonfruit is the only item that can enhance the effects of poison-based skills.
Take this Dragonfruit, for example; it appears to be fully ripe already.
If consumed, it would at least enhance the effects of his Poison Dragon Body by about fifty percent!
Lu Yu unhesitatingly took out a crystal box, placed both Poison Dragon Fruits inside, and then carefully put it away.
With the Toxic Dragon Body reaching full maturity and further enhanced by the Toxic Dragon Fruit, his Toxic Dragon Body would truly become complete and perfect.
Lu Yu put away the Dulong fruit and then looked at the Dulong plant.
The Venomous Dragon Grass must be melted alive to be effective.
Therefore, before refining the star furnace, the Poison Dragon Grass must be kept alive.
The only way to make the Venomous Dragon Grass grow is through poison, and this is something Lu Yu has in abundance.
Lu Yu carefully transplanted the root of the Poisonous Dragon Grass, along with the surrounding soil, into a crystal box.
At the moment the Poison Dragon Grass left the soil, the surrounding toxic gas rapidly contracted into the plant. All the Poison Dragon Grass on the ground instantly withered and died!
Lu Yu bit his tongue and let several drops of blood fall into the soil. Immediately, a faint black vapor rose from the Toxic Dragon Grass. Several roots in the soil stretched out and began to suck up those drops of blood.
“Congratulations, you have obtained the first treasure.” The cold voice from the sky spoke again.
Lu Yu took out all the storage pearls in his hand, placed the Poison Dragon Grass inside, and immediately ascended into the sky to begin his search.
In the central circle, he found the Poison Dragon Grass. What about the other circles around it?
While thinking, Lu Yu flew toward one of the circles!
