Little Spider held the 【Ant King Star-Shattering Sword】, which was enormous to it, and began its warm-up, swinging the sword and shaking the Sea of Crimson, sending massive waves splashing up that fell as a Blood Rain.
With sword after sword, its aura was imnse.
It didn't feel like it was going to challenge a difficult trial, but more like Dark and Vicious Forces had co knocking.
In the end, however, the Dragonhawk still didn't change the Challenge Rules.
After all, this difficulty was a High Standard even in its era. Not even every Warrior who successfully passed the Dragon King's Trial in the Settlent could achieve it.
As for the current era, although it couldn't go out, it could roughly deduce the outside world's level through the Trial-takers.
It could see that the average strength was much higher than in the Ancient Era, and the number of experts was also greater.
But a Monster like Lu Yu was a rare specin in any era.
Thinking of this, the Dragonhawk, as the Master of the Mystic Realm, suddenly empathized with the other Trial-takers.
The experience of being in the sa era as a Cheater was truly terrible. It was a good thing it was an Ancient Person.
It reminded him, "The Trial will begin as soon as you touch the Statue."
"Alright."
Lu Yu nodded and reached out to touch the Statue directly this ti.
Since he had recorded too much Taboo Knowledge and possessed the Taboo Cursed Seal, anyone beneath the Taboo who touched him would die. Thus, he had no fear of his body being taken over.
On the contrary, others would be the ones screaming, "Don't you co over here!"
As for those Above the Taboo?
What an eccentric idea.
Taboo Existences possessed the characteristic of being undying and indestructible.
Even if completely annihilated, they could be revived from the Ti Graveyard. Why would they need to switch to the Frail Body of an ordinary human?
Could it be because his body was just that fragrant?
Hum!
The mont Lu Yu's hand touched the Statue, the entire Sea of Crimson began to churn.
A massive Undersea Vortex appeared beneath the Altar and began to devour everything.
Countless Fish-Dragon Species fled in terror, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being swept in and torn to shreds.
The Sea of Crimson's color deepened, the Scent of Blood filled the air, and a Blood-colored Radiance gathered, but it didn't form a Projection. Instead, it poured into the Statue.
Seeing this, the Dragonhawk's eyes narrowed as it said in shock:
"This is…"
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Stone Sculpture suddenly began to tremble. At first, it was just dust falling off, but then, piece by piece, fragnts began to fall away, revealing the crimson flesh and blood underneath, which was constantly squirming.
It was like the process of gestating life. Accompanied by a sound resembling Fetal Movent, Scales grew out from under the flesh, covering it.
Soon, seven ferocious and terrifying Dragon Heads were ford.
The original stone body was actually beginning to evolve into a Flesh-and-Blood Lifeform!
"Bringing the Inanimate to Life?"
Lu Yu's expression was one of shock.
He had thought this Trial would just be condensing a Projection, never imagining that it would involve the supre application of the Law of Life.
This ability was no simple matter.
In an ani Lu Yu had watched in his Previous Life, there were the Twelve Talismans, each with a different ability corresponding to a different law.
The effect of the Rat Talisman was similar to this, capable of bestowing life upon inanimate objects, even reviving statues.
Even a God Statue could be revived, restoring a portion of the corresponding Deity's power. It was an Overpowered Ability comparable to Void Creation.
If not for the fact that the life it revived might not listen to its master and could even cause a Backlash, this ability would be invincible. One could just revive a pile of Deities and Sweep Through the World.
Reviving others might be problematic, but why didn't the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King try to revive itself?
The Dragonhawk saw Lu Yu's confusion, its expression complicated as it sighed and explained:
"It was supposed to be the descent of My Lord's Projection, but it seems you are too powerful, directly attracting the attention of My Lord's Remnant Resentnt in the Sea of Crimson. It wants to have a grand battle with you.
However, this ability isn't as exaggerated as you imagine. The reason this Flesh Transformation was successful is that this Statue was sculpted from clay mixed with the King's Blood.
Thus, it can use the power of the Sea of Crimson to create flesh. But in essence, it's just a Replica, with the added Combat Instinct of an Ancient Dragon.
Once you enter the Mother River, you'll learn that top-tier existences possess Uniqueness. My Lord mastered the ability to Resurrect the Inanimate and Evolve Flesh-and-Blood Lifeforms.
He was the condensation of All Life, but the more powerful the life he revived, the higher the difficulty.
If it hadn't encountered the incarnation of the Mother of Dusk, it could have been revived and even had the chance to beco the Supre Dragon in control of the Red of Life.
But unfortunately, that was Corrosion from a Higher-Dinsional Power…"
"Roar!"
Before it could finish, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Phantom had already finished remolding its flesh. Its seven heads rose in unison, opening their crimson Dragon Eyes and letting out a Roar.
Boom!
The terrifying Sound Wave kicked up a gale so strong it was almost tangible, causing their clothes to flap loudly. The Dragon Beasts in the sea and on land all prostrated themselves on the ground the mont they heard the roar, trembling as they welcod the arrival of their king.
As Dragon Beasts born from the Sea of Crimson, they were powerful but also had a fatal weakness: the fear of High-level Dragon Beasts was etched deep into their souls, making them lose their Fighting Spirit easily.
To solve this Weakness, they either had to temper their will through a long period of training to overco it, or directly obtain a High-level Bloodline.
Following the Route of "If you can't beat them, join them."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A blood-colored Storm swept through.
The Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King beat its three pairs of Blood-colored Dragon Wings, its body wreathed in a crimson glow, and floated in the air. Terrifying Spiritual Energy was unleashed, shaking the Void.
Its seven heads slowly extended, looking down upon Lu Yu on the ground with indifferent eyes.
In that mont, it was as if, across the River of Ti, the King of Ancient Dragons who had reigned over the skies and struck down gods thousands of years ago had returned to The Mortal World.
Just by looking at it directly, a Mortal would feel their own insignificance.
"Is this the power of the Dragon King? Even a Replica condensed from a single drop of blood after such a long ti can carry such a terrifying Oppressive Aura…"
Lu Yu murmured softly.
He could feel that the opponent's power was only at the Early-stage Commander level, but the threat it posed far exceeded that of the Nightmare Sea Demon Whale.
The Dragonhawk spoke with a solemn gaze:
"This ti, you are not facing My Lord's Projection, but a Flesh Incarnation. Defeat it, and you will beco the Master of the Mystic Realm, receive My Lord's Final Gift, and the thod to Reinforce the Evil God's Seal. Young man, do your best."
With the revival of the Dragon King's Remnant Will, even if it was just a sliver of consciousness, it still contained terrifying Combat Instinct.
Although its strength was still at early-stage Commander, its Combat Power had increased by at least fifty percent, or even more than double. Its strength had skyrocketed.
At this rate, let alone winning, it would be difficult for Lu Yu to even last ten minutes.
And the Dragonhawk, carrying the hopes of a thousand years, didn't think there was a problem, even though the Mystic Realm had suddenly increased the difficulty.
It would not entrust the final possibility to a Loser.
Only the Victor was qualified to face a Deity.
If Lu Yu couldn't even defeat the Flesh Incarnation, it would be a Suicide Mission even if he went.
If that were the case, it would rather wait a while longer for the human civilization of this era to send a stronger Genius.
"Interesting…"
Although he had ended up Flexing and Failing, facing not a Projection but a more powerful Flesh Incarnation, there was no fear in Lu Yu's heart, only excitent.
The path to the Myriad Stars and beyond was arduous.
To reach the summit, one must step over the Corpse of one powerful enemy after another!
Even the Dragon King could not block his path.
And though the Dragon King had grown stronger, had his own strength not also undergone a Qualitative Change?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at the terrifying Dragon King in the crimson storm in the sky and slowly said:
"Little Spider, Little Mouse, shatter it!"
"Ying!"
"Squeak!"
With a flash, Little Spider took a step into the Void, Blinking into the sky.
The 【Ant King Star-Shattering Sword】 in its hand slashed out horizontally, transforming into waves of Black-Red Crescent Sword Qi that swept forth.
Great Black Heaven Sword Art—Sinking World Moon!
The Sword Skill was the sa, but the Artistic Conception was completely different.
This ti, there was no all-corroding shadow, but instead, an ancient and powerful Ant King, condensing endless Strength Rings, shattering the Eternal Moon with a single punch, and dragging All Living Beings into Eternal Darkness.
Suppression with Absolute Might,
The Brute Force thod!
Boom!
It started with an Ultimate Move.
With a single slash, it instantly tore apart the Crimson Storm Barrier, and the black-red sword qi tore through space to arrive.
"Roar!"
Even the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica felt a huge threat and didn't dare to take the blow head-on.
Its dragon wings flapped, and in the blink of an eye, it had pulled away.
However, Little Spider refused to let it go, launching into a Relentless Pursuit, continuously Blinking through the void and using Flash Step to move, swinging the Greatsword like a torrential storm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The greatsword swung, suppressing it with absolute might, continuously shattering the storm. The terrifying Aftermath swept out, shaking the Sea of Blood.
With the buff from 【Spirit Brimming】, its short-term Burst Power was pushed to the extre, and its Sustain was increased several tis over.
If the previous Little Spider was like an elegant princess, at this mont, she was like a Death-Frenzied Sword-Maiden from a battlefield massacre.
Wherever it passed, the Sea of Blood was shaken by the Aftermath, splashing up droplets of water.
"Roar!"
Although the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica was not the real Dragon King, it still inherited powerful Combat Instinct.
After dodging dozens of attacks in a row, it suddenly flapped its three pairs of dragon wings, stirring up a Sea of Blood Tornado and charging toward Little Spider.
A dozen or so Waterspouts roared forth, their power far more terrifying than a high-pressure water jet, capable of easily pulverizing iron and stone.
But Little Spider's expression was calm. Its Mind's Eye perceived the weak points around it, and it executed a Whirling Slash with the greatsword in its hand.
Boom!
The sword qi swept out, forming a barrier that shattered the blood-colored tornadoes, turning them into a Blood-colored Water Curtain composed of countless fine blood-red droplets.
At the sa ti, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King's seven heads sealed off all directions, forming a pincer attack as they bit toward the center.
Clang!
With the sound of clashing tal, three Dragon Heads bit directly onto the greatsword, while the remaining four heads opened their Bloody Maws and snapped at Little Spider.
It was already a Deadlock!
"Is it over…" The Dragonhawk couldn't help but feel regret.
Less than three minutes had passed. Had its expectations been too high after all…
That was right.
Facing the form of the ancient Dragon King's Flesh Incarnation, even if it was just the manifestation of a drop of blood, it was not sothing a human could contend with.
Thinking of this, the Dragonhawk gathered its spiritual energy, ready to intervene and save Little Spider at any mont.
It didn't want to see this promising young man lose a pet beast.
However, just as it was about to make a move, it saw an astonishing scene and couldn't help but exclaim:
"How is that possible!"
Little Spider was walking through the Void.
Faced with this fatal blow, it suddenly drew its sword. The Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King naturally wouldn't give it the chance, and its three heads prepared to bite down harder, intending to lock it down and eat it.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly bit into empty air. Their teeth clashed with a deafening sound, making their heads spin.
"Didn't expect that, did you? Little Mouse can Switch Forms! With and Sister Spider tead up, we're invincible Beneath the Morning Star!"
As Little Mouse's triumphant voice rang out, the greatsword in Little Spider's hand suddenly turned into a flowing Pitch-Black Shadow. Without a form, it couldn't be bitten.
"Ying!"
Drawing the sword was slashing the sword!
However, before they could react, Little Spider had already swung its sword. The pitch-black shadow swept out, devouring everything and obscuring their vision.
When the light reappeared, they all saw their own bodies. The connections to four of their heads now had smooth, neat gaps, from which Fresh Blood spurted.
They had been beheaded!
Great Black Heaven Sword Art—Black Moon Slash!
And Little Spider stood in the void, still elegant and composed.
Walking through the Sea of Blood, just to slay a dragon!
"So… so Ferocious!"
Even the Dragonhawk was stunned.
It had thought that after the Dragon King's power increased, it would turn into a Hard-fought Battle. It never imagined that this Spider Maiden would still be able to grab it by the head and Get Thrashed.
No, it was directly beheaded!
"Roar!"
The shadow sword in Little Spider's hand continued to swing, preparing to press its advantage. However, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King roared, and its remaining three heads opened their mouths,凝聚 a destructive light that shot out, forcing it to Blink back in retreat.
Three Pillars of Light swept across the sea's surface, kicking up a fierce wind that carved a trench in the water before landing on the distant shore, directly hitting a few prostrating Dragon Heads. In an instant, their flesh disintegrated, turning into a pool of blood that flowed into the Sea of Blood.
Guji, guji!
At the four severed necks of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica, countless threads of flesh and blood began to squirm, weaving together to once again form a ferocious head.
Hyper-Speed Regeneration!
It then gave up on close-quarters combat and directly pulled away, using its Flesh Disintegration Ray in a High-Altitude Bombardnt mode.
With seven heads attacking at once, even Little Spider could only dodge, its figure flickering as it waved its hands to conjure Spider Silk Shields, which were instantly torn apart.
"Flesh Disintegration, Flesh Regeneration, truly worthy of the Great Red Dragon in charge of life!" Lu Yu exclaid in admiration.
Hearing this, the Dragonhawk beside him smiled and said, "My Lord's power is indeed far beyond imagination. But I can congratulate you in advance.
Just hold on a little longer, and you'll reach ten minutes!"
Although Little Spider couldn't defeat the Replica, with the power of the Void to tie it down, it could also forcibly stall for ti to gain victory.
"Hold on?"
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth turned up in a smile as he said aningfully, "But I can already see the end!"
The Dragonhawk was stunned.
It then looked up at the sky. Little Spider was still continuing to Teleport and dodge.
"Roar…"
On the other side, growing impatient with its attacks, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King entwined its seven heads, rging them into a single giant Dragon Head with blood-colored Dragon Horns. Nine huge, crimson eyes covered its head, from which blood-colored rays of light continuously condensed and shot out.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A dense barrage of light beams relentlessly pursued it, beginning to seal off Little Spider's escape routes. However, most of them were canceled out by the Void Rays condensed behind her.
At the sa ti, the Great Red Dragon opened its Bloody Maw, and a vast, dark red radiance gathered.
Seven-in-One, the annihilation of all material life…
Crimson Annihilation Cannon!
However, halfway through its condensation, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica suddenly paused, entering a state of stiffness.
On the other side, Little Spider also stopped, its delicate fingers hooking into the void as if grabbing sothing.
"What!?"
This scene abruptly startled the Dragonhawk.
It reacted quickly and activated its Spirit Sight, only to see a horrifying scene.
Hundreds of Illusory Threads were densely wrapped around the body of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica, already forming a Spider Web.
Spirit Puppet Thread Technique—Puppet Net!
At this mont, the Dragonhawk recalled Little Spider's previous movents and finally realized that it wasn't dodging attacks at all. It was clearly and continuously releasing these Illusory Threads, wrapping them around its opponent, layer after layer.
Like a skilled hunter, luring its prey into a carefully woven trap, before finally pulling the net shut.
Lu Yu's expression was calm, not pleased with himself because of this.
This ability wasn't very effective against the true Crimson Dragon King or powerful Demonic Beasts with Spirit Sight, as it would be quickly discovered.
But for a Replica that only possessed Combat Instinct and a low level of Spirit Sight, it was a fatal threat.
Especially once it entered High-Frequency Combat, it would be even less able to notice the descent of the invisible threads.
By the ti it was completely entangled, even if it was discovered, it had already beco prey caught in a spider web, waiting for toxins to be injected.
Although it could win in a head-on confrontation, why go through the trouble if it could win easily?
Lu Yu's tactic was Bullying the Weak.
Use your strengths to strike your opponent's Weak point!
Dragon Strike!
"Do it!"
Lu Yu transmitted the ssage through their Soul Contract.
Little Spider yanked hard, and a large number of tiny Incantations appeared on the Puppet Cursed Thread, densely packed, rapidly and continuously pouring Drowsiness and Flesh Corruption Curses into the Crimson Dragon King Replica.
At this mont, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica felt a wave of fatigue wash over it, and at the sa ti, its flesh began to turn grayish-black, showing signs of decay.
This curse was a Potent Poison for flesh-and-blood lifeforms, and for the life-based Red Dragon, it was fatal.
"Roar!"
The intense pain made it howl in agony.
The blood-colored radiance on its body condensed, instantly transforming into a Small Blood-red Sun. Terrifying spiritual energy erupted, instantly evaporating all the spiritual threads, suppressing the curses along with them.
"Did it fail?"
The Dragonhawk felt regret, but also a bit of relief. Although the Replica wasn't its Lord, if it got thrashed…
It would be a bit embarrassing.
But ti was almost up. Just as it was about to declare the end, it heard Lu Yu speak:
"It's over."
"Ying!"
Little Spider stretched out its left hand and made a grasping motion.
A five-ter-diater Void Fissure appeared above the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica's head, like a mysterious void monster opening its bloody maw.
Crack!
The Great Red Dragon, having just dealt with the Puppet Net, hadn't even had ti to breathe when it saw a giant Spider Silk Dragon Lance falling like a Heavenly Pillar.
With an unstoppable montum, it instantly pierced through the Replica, skewering it in mid-air.
Secret Art—Void Dragon Lance!
Lu Yu smiled slightly at the sight.
He watched as silk threads extended from behind Little Spider, sinking into a corner of the altar, corroding the area and turning it into a mass of white threads that condensed together, forming a giant dragon lance!
It thrust out abruptly, then transferred through the Void Fissure, becoming a dragon lance strike from the void!
And this, was the combination of Expert-level 【Void's Blessing】 Pinnacle of Perfection 【Spider Silk】 Expert-level 【Puppet Cursed Thread】…
The Profound aning Skill—Void Dragon Lance!
"Roar, roar!"
The tenacious Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King propped up its giant Seven-in-One head. Before it could even resist, it saw Little Spider raise the Sword of Shadow in its hand.
A vast wave of spiritual power swept out, transforming into a Pitch-Black Sword Qi that devoured all light.
In that mont, the Great Black Heaven descended!
All was dark.
The ink-black shadow sword qi swept over, devouring the body of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King, corroding and corrupting its flesh until it completely dissipated into Fly Ash.
"Roar…"
As the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King Replica approached Death, a hint of relief flashed in its primitive, beastly eyes.
Its body gradually disintegrated, and in the end, only its head remained, rolling onto the ground.
"It… it won!"
The Dragonhawk was also stunned.
The difficult battle, the narrow victory, the stalling for ti—none of the scenarios it had imagined had happened.
All there was was this young man before it, who had been planning every step from the beginning, suppressing with tactics, revealing one Trump Card after another, and in a dominant fashion, easily slaying the remnant shadow of the ancient Dragon King.
With such potential, even if he went back to the Ancient Era, he would have a chance to beco a Supre Expert who could establish a great city on his own!
"What a… Monster!"
The Dragonhawk exclaid in amazent, feeling a sense of age. It could clearly feel the gap, not in the present, but in the future.
If Lu Yu were of the sa rank as itself, it would be no stronger than an Ant in front of him.
However, while the Dragonhawk was lanting life, Lu Yu looked at the massive Seven-in-One head of the Great Red Dragon, a trace of pleasant surprise flashing in his eyes.
"It worked!"
Among the abilities Little Mouse had mastered were not only Myriad Transformations but also the Limb Grafting Ability from the Thousand-Faced Great Demon. By grafting the bodies of powerful creatures, it could transform itself into a Perfect Life.
But the Dragon King's body was not only a precious Material that couldn't be wasted like this, but it also certainly contained powerful Contamination that could easily corrupt Little Mouse in return.
On the other hand, this Flesh Incarnation derived from a single drop of blood was just the right strength.
It could provide the Dragon Attribute and also held the Flesh Disintegration Ray. Even if grafted, it wouldn't contaminate Little Mouse's own spirituality.
When the battle started, Lu Yu had been thinking that fusing the seven heads would be troubleso. He never expected the Crimson Dragon King to directly fuse them into a Seven-in-One, creating a Nine-Eyed Great Red Dragon's Head.
This was truly a great, good dragon!
Once he fused this body condensed from the blood of the ancient Dragon King, Little Mouse would not only have a chance to gain an additional Dragon Attribute but could also integrate it as part of its Thousand Faces Armant…
Allowing the Desolate Strength Ant, or even Little Mouse's True Self, to undergo a special Dragon Blood Evolution.
However, Lu Yu didn't call Little Mouse over to start grafting right away.
Not to ntion that this was a Replica of the being the Dragonhawk revered, doing so in its face would be… too much of a Minotaur (NTR) move.
If he provoked the other party and it turned hostile, it wouldn't be good.
Moreover, before completely controlling the Mystic Realm, revealing Little Mouse's abilities could easily lead people to associate it with the Stitched Demon if the news leaked, exposing his own Secret.
So, he would wait until he had control of the Mystic Realm.
Thus, he had Little Spider wrap the Dragon Head in Spider Silk and store it in the Void Treasure Chest, then asked the silent Dragonhawk beside him:
"Have I passed now?"
You've already ground the Replica to dust and even packed up its head. If you don't pass now, I'm the one who's going to get passed through!
The Dragonhawk complained internally, raising a wing to point at the spot where the Statue had been, and said:
"The Core of the Mystic Realm is right there.
Once you enter, you can reach the Bottom of the Sea of Crimson. That is the Core of the Ancient Ruins, and also…"
"The Graveyard of My Lord and his many friends and Family mbers."
As it said this, the Dragonhawk paused for a mont, its gaze dimming.
After a while, it raised its head and said self-deprecatingly:
"I'm clearly just an Aberrant Body with mories, yet after so many years, I can still feel sadness. I'm really quite fragile…"
Lu Yu was silent, not knowing what to say.
Humans were both weak and strong.
They would walk the path of Aberration because of various emotions, but they would also stand guard for thousands of years like a single day because of a Lingering Attachnt, until they perished.
The Ode to Humanity is a symphony of cowardice and courage.
Little Spider ca to the Dragonhawk's side.
As a Dream-type Monarch creature, it could feel its sadness, so it reached out and patted it gently:
"Ying, ying!"
Don't be sad. Master said that if we live life to the fullest, the future will get better and better!
Little Mouse was also floating on its cloud, arms crossed, looking at the giant Dragonhawk.
It turned its head away and said in a Tsundere manner:
"Although you treated like a mouse, which I'm not happy about, Sister Spider is right. Cheer up.
Your old companions would probably want that too…"
"Indeed, they always used to say I looked good when I smiled…"
The Dragonhawk listened to the two little fellows' gentle comfort and smiled, then urged:
"Thank you. I feel much better.
Hurry up and go in. I'm still waiting for you to reinforce the Deity's Incarnation.
Only when it's sealed can I continue to sleep in peace."
That day might never co.
If I'm lucky, you might even see commit Deicide… Ahem, that's a bit difficult.
But if I can't beat a god, can't I beat a part of its Severed Limbs?
As long as it doesn't move, I can extract it as Material in minutes.
Lu Yu complained internally. Without wasting any more words, he walked straight to where the Statue had been and saw a Red Crystal Heart.
The mont he picked it up, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the entire Mystic Realm changed with him.
The Third Layer of the Mystic Realm, on the Ice Plain.
"Finally… I'm almost there!"
Atop the Iron House Snail, Qi Yun and his pet beast were travel-worn, covered in a thick layer of ice and snow, looking like a Snowman. But he didn't care, his eyes fixed on the Gate of Light not far away, his expression excited.
Although the Third Layer of the Mystic Realm had fallen into chaos, the journey had still been fraught with difficulties, making passage even harder.
Along the way, he not only had to dodge collapsing icebergs but also be careful of the ice surface cracking beneath his feet.
If he fell, it would take even more effort to climb back up. He had also encountered attacks from so fleeing Demonic Beasts.
After enduring the Eighty-One Tribulations, he had finally arrived before the Mystic Realm Gate leading to the next layer.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Qi Yun made the Iron House Snail accelerate and run through the Mystic Realm Gate.
At this mont, even with his calm personality, he couldn't help but cheer:
"Ancient knowledge and history… your emperor has arrived!"
As the blinding white light faded, what appeared before him was not a gathering place of Ancient Dragon Beasts or Historical Steles. Instead, several Morning Star Beast Tars, Qi Wei, and others were looking at him with strange expressions.
The atmosphere was unusually silent.
They hadn't expected that this researcher, Qi Yun, who seed cold and rational on the surface, also had such an over-the-top side.
So students couldn't help but laugh. This contrast was quite interesting.
Luo Zisong and the others didn't mind this small mont of Social Death. After all, there were many Lunatics among Beast Tars, and they had seen far more embarrassing scenes than this.
It's just, hadn't Qi Yun gone to challenge the Fourth Layer? Why did he look so miserable?
"How can this be!?"
Qi Yun was dumbfounded. Hadn't he passed through the Mystic Realm Gate? Shouldn't he have entered the Fourth Layer? Why was he teleported out?
Could it be that the ancient ruins were bugged?
Suddenly, he thought of sothing and hurriedly asked:
"Has Lu Yu co out?"
"Isn't he with you? What's the situation inside?"
Luo Zisong asked back, causing Qi Yun's expression to stiffen as he seed to realize the reason.
The Mystic Realm… very likely had an owner now, so they were rejected.
In other words, all his efforts before were just so he could co out and experience Social Death?
Thinking of this, Qi Yun silently walked to a corner and began to beco withdrawn.
No matter who asked, he wouldn't answer, leaving everyone confused. What on earth happened to Qi Yun inside?
Why did he beco withdrawn as soon as he ca out?
Did Lu Yu succeed?
Or did he fail?
……………………
On the other side, Lu Yu had entered the Bottom of the Sea of Crimson.
He had expected to be in water, but it turned out to be a Blood-colored Bubble holding back all the blood water, creating a special space of its own.
And inside, was a massive Dragon Corpse with Seven Heads and Six Wings.
A single head was comparable to a mountain peak. Even after a long ti had passed since its death, it still exuded a terrifying Overwhelming Pressure like a Tsunami, washing over one's Spiritual Will.
If not for the Red Crystal Heart holding up a Light Screen, Lu Yu would probably have been squeezed into a at paste.
Keep in mind, this was a dead Dragon King.
It was hard to imagine how powerful it would be if it were still alive…
The Replica from before was the difference between an ant and the sun compared to this.
As he got closer, Lu Yu saw a large number of Tombstones, with different nas and relationships written on them: Family mber, Lover, Friend, and an empty tomb.
It was needless to say whose tomb it was.
However, there was no na on the tombstone, just four simple words:
"The Dragon Was Here."
Just a few words, yet they carried an indescribable lancholy, as if one could see a lonely figure, after burying everyone else, carving a stone tablet for himself.
But halfway through carving, he suddenly realized that everyone was dead. Who would rember them?
So, he erased his own na, chose to undergo Aberration, and watched over the Mystic Realm in solitude.
Just to leave behind a trace of their existence.
The Dragon referred to the Crimson Dragon King, but also to their Red Dragon Tribe.
They had co to this world, guarded this land, and with their last afterglow, illuminated the path for future humans.
Accepting and rembering them was the greatest recognition.
It was also the last letter from the people of the ancient tis to the future.
Lu Yu was silent in his heart.
He reached out and wiped the dust off the tombstone, then continued walking forward, approaching the Dragon King's Corpse.
Viewing it up close, one could feel the greatness of this top-tier creature even more.
Even after a long ti, it had not rotted. But a large amount of the Light of Dusk remained on its body, like a maggot clinging to the bone, constantly corroding the corpse.
The Red of Life and the Light of Dusk constantly clashed and annihilated each other.
As the Red Dragon of Life, its body contained unimaginable vitality.
Even though its soul had long since vanished, with only its Resentnt remaining in the Sea of Crimson, its body was still as if it had just died. It would rot, and one Pustule after another would form.
Pop!
And after swelling to the extre and bursting, a large amount of liquid would ooze out, which would then be expelled into the blood-colored ocean outside.
Only then did Lu Yu understand…
No wonder those Dragon Beasts would go through Aberration and beco crazed after drinking the water of the Sea of Crimson.
It turned out that its source was not blood, but the byproduct of an ancient Dragon King's body decaying and twisting under the corrosion of a Deity's power, saturated with resentnt and negative energy…
Corpse Water!
Drinking this stuff every day, it would be strange if they didn't go mad.
"That's crazy enough…"
Lu Yu shook his head and then saw an ancient stone tablet, on which was written what the gift the Dragonhawk had spoken of was.
The first, naturally, was this Ancient Dragon Corpse. After making a Contract with a Dragon Beast, one could use this Mystic Realm Core to slowly devour the Dragon King's Blood, thereby causing its bloodline to transform.
Although it couldn't beco an Ancient Dragon, becoming a Pure-blood Dragon was not difficult. It was equivalent to giving a Beast Tar a future with infinite possibilities, the final gift of the King of the Red of Life.
As for the requirent… there was none.
Or rather, the price of fate's gift had already been marked.
Because after absorbing the bloodline of the Red of Life, one would naturally be regarded as a Mortal Enemy by the Mother of Dusk.
Even for their own safety, the new Master of the Mystic Realm would inevitably go all out to reinforce the seal.
A clear unconcealed sche, but the bait was indeed tempting. Almost no one could resist the temptation.
Especially for Lu Yu, who possessed the power of the Secret Food of Myriad Miracles. He could extract it as Material and go a step further, creating an Evolution Secret Food that could evolve a beast to have the potential of an Ancient Dragon.
As for the second item, it was a one-ter-long, dark red Bone Spear.
This was a part of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King's Spine that it had pulled out before its death.
It had reversed so of the Power of Dusk that was consuming it and fused it with its own imnse Resentnt to create the 【Crimson Spear】.
