Rumble!
As Lu Yu's voice fell, the entire Miracle Ritual began to turn. A continuous stream of Earth Vein Power was being converted, and a giant hand extended from within the massive Formation.
Its sinews were plants, its flesh and blood were soil, and its skin was rock. Countless crawling insects squird within, exuding a majestic aura.
It was in an Activated Earth State, utterly terrifying.
The Earth Veins were the very vitality of the Great Earth!
Miracle Skill—Grip of the Earth Spirit!
Boom!
At this mont, it was as if a slumbering earth giant had awakened.
It viciously grabbed at The Proliferating Green Dragon, this thief who had stolen the power of the Earth Veins, preparing to crush it to dust.
"I am not resigned!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon roared as the decaying life spirituality gathered.
From the two severed sections of its flesh, a large amount of granulation tissue grew, sprouting nurous substances akin to fungal rootlets that connected, forcibly reattaching its severed body.
As a descendant of the First Green Dragon, a pure-blood Dragon, the Favored of Nature, it possessed an unimaginably powerful life force, comparable to High-Speed Regeneration!
However… this was far from enough!
The Proliferating Green Dragon's wings folded in front of it, covering its entire body.
A majestic jade-green light shone from its scales and spread out, forming a massive light shield.
From a distance, it looked like a small, dark-green sun.
Proliferating Green Shield!
However, this light shield, which was strong enough to resist a Morning Star Strike, shattered the instant it ca into contact with the giant hand ford from the condensed power of the Earth Veins and the Miracle Ritual, dissipating into countless specks of light.
"Damn it!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon was utterly aggrieved.
The accumulation and preparations of long ages, the Miracle Formation it had painstakingly constructed, had directly beco soone else's.
'How on earth did this guy accurately discover the ritual's nodes from among countless trees? And how could he precisely corrode them without disrupting the ritual's operation?'
Could it be… that The Disciple, while possessing such imnse power, was also a top-tier Ritual Master?
But The Proliferating Green Dragon had no ti to think.
Looking at the giant hand, right before its eyes and exuding a powerful terrestrial magnetic force, it knew that if it was hit, it was certain death. Yet, just as it was about to retreat, a violent buzzing sound ca from behind.
It subconsciously turned its head, only to be stunned by the scene before it:
"This is…"
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The remaining tens of thousands of the Bee Swarm had not received an order, yet they vibrated their wings, emitting a shrill hum. They gathered together like a dark-green torrent, surging majestically toward the Hand of the Earth.
The mont they got close, their bodies suddenly began to expand, their spirituality surging…
Rumble!
Hundreds upon thousands of Decay Miasma Poison Bees instantly exploded. Their spirituality intertwined, transforming into a terrifying impact force, but it only left a small scorched mark on the giant hand's rock.
However, this did not stop the Bee Swarm. On the contrary, they rushed forward one after another to self-destruct, offering their final value to their queen.
It wasn't an order, but they did it willingly!
"What a bunch of stupid insects…"
The Proliferating Green Dragon watched this scene and fell silent for a mont. During those long thousand years, it had loathed its insect body, loathed these stupid insects, seeing them rely as tools for its Life Provisions Art.
Yet in the end, it was they who ca to its aid, buying ti for The Proliferating Green Dragon.
How ironic!
"A thousand years of preparation! Why should I lose to a re human like you?!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon roared, its gaze growing colder.
The decaying light of life spread from its body as it began to corrupt the forest, attempting to forcibly reverse the ritual nodes and reclaim its authority.
Dong!
However, just as the light of life spread, it heard the frequent sound of a wooden fish being struck:
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
A powerful Soul Impact washed over it like a tidal wave, shaking its soul.
The Proliferating Green Dragon turned its head and saw Little Mouse, which had condensed multiple Soul Cloud Wooden Fish, striking them nonstop. It had transford into the Electronic Music Tathagata Mouse, disrupting the dragon's spiritual energy circulation.
If The Proliferating Green Dragon hadn't stalled for ti by telling stories earlier, piecing together its soul from the [Jade Dream], this one impact could have directly knocked its soul out of its body.
Even so, for its currently "reborn" soul, this was still an unbearably heavy blow.
"Die!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon was furious. In its peak state, it could have slapped this guy to death with a single paw.
Yet now, just as it was about to strike, it was intercepted by Little Spider, who had incarnated as the Heavenly Nun.
She pointed her Black Sword, poised to strike, with the Pasture Phantom reflected behind her.
Unlike the Soul Pasture from before, this ti it was a reflection of the deep, dark Void. The pasture within was just a patch of grassland, quietly waiting for the cattle and sheep to arrive.
Void Herder!
The Herder Spiritual Puzzle's blessing fell upon Little Spider, causing her Void Spiritual Energy to skyrocket. In Little Spider's Mind's Eye perception, all of space beca a series of leaping nodes, folded together.
Swoosh!
Little Spider stomped down hard, instantly tearing space and blinking in front of The Proliferating Green Dragon.
"Scram!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon roared.
Although it had the strength to repel Little Spider, the Earth Spirit Giant Hand was already upon it. If it attacked now, it would inevitably be delayed, which would be a dead end.
Was it worth it for a mont of rage, or should it continue the ritual!
The Proliferating Green Dragon made its choice decisively and retreated, but Little Spider's sword was faster!
The Black Sword and the Blood Corrosion Sword Qi intertwined, transforming into a special black-red sword qi that swept out, devouring vitality and announcing death!
Nether Spider Sword Qi!
"Jade-Green Shield!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon condensed its light shield, but to its surprise, the mont the Nether Spider Sword Qi collided with the shield condensed from life force, it easily corroded and tore it apart!
"How is this possible!?"
The Proliferating Green Dragon's eyes shrank in disbelief. Although it wanted to retreat, it was already too late.
With a crack, The Proliferating Green Dragon's horn, which resembled the crown of a Primordial Tree, was severed. Jade-like blood splattered onto the earth, causing countless plants to grow wildly, the most nurous among them being jade-like vines that covered the entire ground.
"Ying!"
Even Little Spider hadn't expected this Black Sword to be so tough. It could easily sever the horn of a pure-blood Dragon, the hardest part of its entire body.
As expected of a good item found in the Temple of the Hidden Bones Emperor. It was most likely a God-Bestowed Item!
The thought flashed through its mind, and Little Spider acted, quickly storing the Dragon Horn in its Void Treasure Chest.
This thing looked very valuable.
Master would definitely be happy!
As a good, thrifty and dostic pet beast, Master's thoughtful little quilted jacket, it had to work hard to make money at all tis to fulfill its great dream…
To let Master coast, without having to do anything, just sleep in its embrace.
Those days should be very happy!
"Roar!"
However, compared to Little Spider's joy, The Proliferating Green Dragon was utterly furious. But the Earth Spirit Giant Hand was already closing in.
It could only retreat, only to discover that at so point, its limbs had beco covered in dense, invisible Spirit Threads, binding it firmly.
It was fixed in mid-air, as if imprisoned in a birdcage for people to admire!
Spirit King Curse Threads—Birdcage!
Boom!
The Earth Spirit Giant Hand seized the opportunity and grabbed The Proliferating Green Dragon.
The majestic Earth Vein Power instantly suppressed the decaying life spirituality on its body.
"Kill it!"
However, Lu Yu had no interest in delivering any villainous speeches.
He gave it no chance and simply crushed it!
Bang!
Like the sound of a waterlon bursting, The Proliferating Green Dragon was directly squeezed into a cloud of dark green blood mist, which fell onto the vines on the ground, promoting their growth. Everything ended.
Decisive in action, brutal in execution!
It made the scalps of all the onlookers tingle.
There's always a higher mountain!
They had thought that the Queen Bee, The Proliferating Green Dragon, was already a deep scher, even managing to have The Disciple in the palm of its hand and successfully reviving its dragon body with his help.
But they never expected that while they were still on the first layer, The Disciple was already on the third, fourth, or even in the stratosphere.
He had tampered with The Proliferating Green Dragon's ritual in advance, waited for it to perform the ceremony, and then directly stole its results, reversing everything.
So what if its combat power was raised to the Morning Star Rank? It was nothing more than a pawn in The Disciple's hands!
"This guy is a complete monster. This is a true scher!"
"The Proliferating Green Dragon died so tragically!"
"But to just crush a pure-blood dragon like that is such a waste.
If it were , I definitely wouldn't have the heart to do it!"
"Don't you know this is a pure-blood dragon related to the life-type and wood-type? It might be able to regenerate its body. One slip-up and you could fail at the last mont.
Don't you understand the principle that villains die from talking too much!"
"But The Disciple's thods are a bit like that Mystic Realm Yellow Hair, Lu Yu. His tactics are just as dirty…"
"…"
The crowd discussed animatedly.
Qi Wei also had an excited expression, because he had recorded all of these scenes.
When he went back and finished editing, it would definitely cause a sensation!
After killing The Proliferating Green Dragon, Lu Yu's expression was calm, without a ripple.
He looked at the ritual that was still drawing from the Earth Veins and muttered to himself:
"By the way… this Miracle Ritual, as long as you offer enough sacrificial offerings, it can grant any wish?"
"We're dood!"
Hearing this, the shocked crowd couldn't help but shiver. They suddenly realized a grim problem.
The ritual was not over, and The Disciple…
…didn't seem like a good person either!
The possibility of them becoming sacrificial offerings was still not low!
At this thought, the crowd gathered together, their expressions solemn. Although The Disciple was not as tall as the Giant Dragon, in their eyes, he seed to have beco the center of the world.
His every move brought an imnse oppressive aura.
After all, The Proliferating Green Dragon had just died at his hands, and their lives…
…were also in his hands, to be decided by a single thought!
"That does sound very tempting, but…"
Looking at the crowd, who were facing a great enemy, he leaned on his civilization cane and said with a smile:
"As the supporting roles in this grand play, you've all entertained greatly.
So your salary… will be your lives!"
As his voice fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then imdiately realized sothing.
"We were played by this guy again.
His control over people's hearts is too terrifying!"
With a push and a pull, he had completely dissipated the battle intent in everyone's hearts. On the first drum beat morale is high; on the second it wanes; on the third it is exhausted.
Even if they really wanted to fight, they would be at a low point, completely routed.
The Disciple was treating them like toys, playing with them as he pleased!
Rumble!
As ti passed, the Mystic Realm of Decay completely descended into the Main World, shaking the earth.
The surrounding space barriers began to dissipate, and a large number of ritual nodes operated at high speed, draining the Earth Vein Power from a radius of hundreds of miles.
Through direct and indirect ans, it affected a large number of demonic beasts and several mystic realms.
Countless plants withered, which would take a long ti to replenish. During this period, the land would beco barren, with not a blade of grass growing.
Next, the scarcity of resources would cause a large number of species to migrate in order to survive, leading to changes in the ecological niches of other mystic realms. It might even cause so species to go extinct and new orders to erge.
The source of it all was the influence of a powerful life form.
And mind you… this was the result of The Proliferating Green Dragon being killed, not presiding over the ritual, and no sacrificial offerings being added.
Otherwise, it might have drawn on the Earth Vein Power of the entire Borderlands, becoming a destructive disaster that would affect countless living beings.
Although the gains might have been greater in that situation, it would have conflicted with Lu Yu's benefits.
It was simpler to just freeload off the green dragon.
Ding!
After the mystic realm had completely rged with the Main World, the ritual also entered its final stage.
A large amount of Earth Vein Power was converted into Miracle Spirituality by the ritual, condensing into a small jade-green light sphere.
Even without an introduction, its na was already known—
Jade Dream!
However, unlike an ordinary dreamscape, this one was alive, constantly expanding and contracting, as if it were breathing.
And in this almost real Jade Dream, a Small Pitch-Black Tree was planted, bearing two Black Fruits. From a distance, they looked like two clusters of black clouds, mysterious and brilliant.
"Ying!"
When Little Spider saw the Jade Dream, it told Lu Yu through their Soul Contract that the Nightmare Dream Prison was craving this mystic realm. Fusing with it would cause so special changes.
Lu Yu nodded. Looking at the special treasure within, he reached out his hand, ready to pluck it, but then he suddenly stopped and said with a smile:
"Lady Fan Lü, are you still not planning to co out?"
As his voice fell, the crowd was dumbfounded.
Wasn't The Proliferating Green Dragon already dead?
However, Lu Yu didn't explain. The mont he spoke, Little Spider beside him swung its sword.
The Nether Spider Sword Qi swept out, spreading towards the vines.
"You are the most terrifying human I have ever t…"
With a sigh, the large number of plants and vines that had been born from the green dragon's blood began to intertwine.
Scales gradually appeared on their stems, and they slowly took the form of The Proliferating Green Dragon.
Natural Transformation Art!
The Proliferating Green Dragon blocked the Nether Spider Sword Qi and looked at Lu Yu with a shocked expression, saying:
"How on earth did you discover ?"
Lu Yu smiled without a word.
In fact, he had been suspicious earlier. Although two-thirds of the Miracle Ritual's authority was in his hands, the green dragon still held one-third.
Even if it couldn't snatch back the authority, it could have completely destroyed the ritual.
After all, only by living is there hope!
However, such an insidious creature hadn't done so, which kept Lu Yu vigilant.
It was only when he saw the dragon's horn being severed and its dripping blood growing into vines…
He saw a series of question marks through his Eye of Truth.
Although there was no specific information, it made no difference…
After all, how could ordinary vines be impossible to get information on?
In other words, this creature actually wanted to fake its death to make Lu Yu lower his guard, then seize the opportunity to steal the final reward!
As expected of a born scher!
But unfortunately, the despicable outsider could use a see-through cheat!
Since the other party wanted to wait, Lu Yu didn't expose it because he couldn't kill it.
Otherwise, forcing a move would only lead to mutual destruction.
The Star Leaf could only be used once; it wasn't prudent enough.
So Lu Yu simply decided to wait for the ritual's harvest.
Moreover, after the ritual was successful, although Lu Yu could no longer borrow the Earth Vein Power to attack, the green dragon had also lost its blessing as the mystic realm rged with the Main World, regressing to the Spirituality Transformation level.
It could no longer forcibly snatch the Jade Dream!
Therefore, even if Lu Yu couldn't defeat it, he could still run away with the goods, or just destroy them.
The Proliferating Green Dragon understood this as well.
It used miasma to block off the others and took the initiative to ask:
"What price must I pay!"
In its eyes, nothing was more important than that fruit!
"I like a straightforward dragon like you!"
Lu Yu said with a smile. Since he wasn't completely sure he could kill this pure-blood dragon, he might as well extort a bit more from it.
So he said:
"All the conditions we agreed on before, plus your reverse scale, and ten catties of Origin Dragon Blood…"
"Why don't you just say you want to kill !"
Fan Lü said through gritted teeth. The reverse scale was already outrageous enough, but she never expected to have underestimated The Disciple's shalessness.
He even wanted ten catties of Origin Dragon Blood. Even if she were drained dry, it wouldn't be enough.
She said irritably:
"At most five catties of Ordinary Dragon Blood!"
"That'll do!"
Lu Yu nodded decisively. When haggling, you always have to give the other party so room to counter-offer.
Seeing Lu Yu's reaction, Fan Lü knew she had lost out big ti. Suppressing the rage in her heart and seeing that Lu Yu was about to make another outrageous demand, she said coldly:
"Don't go too far, or I'd rather we both perish together!"
"How could I? I just want to show so concern for your well-being.
After all, I'm a man who's been given the nickna—Friend of Young Matrons!"
Lu Yu didn't blush at all as he lied, speaking gently:
"One last request. I want the location of that place and the Mother of Dusk's remains!"
"Heh, if I knew, why wouldn't I have gone to save him earlier? As for the Incarnation of the Mother of Dusk, it was sealed by the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King.
No one knows its specific location…"
The Proliferating Green Dragon's gaze was icy as it continued:
"But I can tell you the general area where I last saw them both."
"Deal!"
Lu Yu nodded in agreent, but he was relieved internally.
This probing had confird that The Proliferating Green Dragon didn't know the specific sealing location of the Mother of Dusk, which greatly reduced its threat level.
From now on, even if it wanted to start making trouble, the Alliance would be responsible for it.
Thus, the person and the dragon went through a "friendly" negotiation and finally reached a deal. The Proliferating Green Dragon condensed all the information into a light sphere and handed it to Lu Yu, along with the reverse scale and dragon blood.
Lu Yu didn't rush to check the mories. He put the other things away first, and only then did he toss one of the fruits to The Proliferating Green Dragon.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The vast and sacred Miracle Ritual also began to disintegrate and dissipate as the treasure was plucked.
"Excellent!"
After getting the item, The Proliferating Green Dragon had a joyful expression.
It had originally planned to take this jade dreamscape, solidified by the power of miracles, with it. It could help it step into the Morning Star Rank faster.
In any case, this human couldn't possibly affect its racial skills.
However, in the next mont, it was subjected to so serious face-slapping.
It watched as Lu Yu had Little Spider summon the Nightmare Dream Prison to drag it all away, truly scraping the land bare, leaving nothing behind.
The Lu Remains, but the Scenery is Gone!
After doing all this, Lu Yu asked with concern:
"Is there anything else you'd like to give ?"
So punchable! I really want to beat this guy to death!
The Proliferating Green Dragon's expression shifted, but in the end, it didn't say the words out loud.
It turned to leave, tossing back a sentence as it went:
"Whoever wishes to explore that place will only et death!"
With that, it flapped its wings and flew away, but it hadn't flown far when it heard Lu Yu shout:
"Riddle Dragon, scram from the Borderlands!"
The Proliferating Green Dragon nearly stumbled and fell from the sky, then chose to accelerate its departure.
"I really want to slaughter it! Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough yet.
Luckily, I got the most precious materials like the reverse scale and dragon horn. I'll slaughter it after it's fattened up a bit.
I hope Lady Fan Lü doesn't disappoint then…"
After lanting, Lu Yu began to collect the spoils, like the remains of the Insect Nest. After making sure nothing was missed, he turned and left.
After a while, the miasma dissipated. The crowd saw The Disciple's elegant silhouette disappear amidst a flock of rising crows.
As for The Proliferating Green Dragon… it was long gone!
Their expressions were complicated, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both happy and heavy-hearted.
Happy because they had survived!
Heavy-hearted because with The Disciple and a pure-blood dragon now in the Borderlands, things were probably going to get chaotic!
At this thought, the crowd no longer had any desire to stay and gradually departed.
After being frightened all day, they needed to properly recover!
…
On the other side, The Proliferating Green Dragon changed its flight direction multiple tis to ensure no one was following, then concealed itself within a vast, dense forest.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
It spread its power, easily corrupting a large area of the forest.
Plants grew wildly, forming a special fortress.
The Proliferating Green Dragon's upper body also began to rapidly transform back into the half-woman torso from before.
She looked down at the fruit, and just as she was about to swallow it, a laugh ca from behind her:
"Hee hee, long ti no see!"
Hearing the voice, Fan Lü didn't turn around. A large number of tree roots transford into several Wooden Dragons and gnawed their way over, only to be swallowed in one gulp by a white porcelain mask with a bizarre smiling face.
Crunch, crunch!
A large amount of wood debris fell to the ground as it chewed. The smiling face also turned into a bitter lon face, indicating that it tasted awful.
Like eating wood!
"Oh my, what a heartless woman!"
Eighth Finger, wearing a mask with the "Zh" (Ж) pattern, leaned against the Void Ghost Mask. The Butcher, wearing a tattered mask, followed behind.
Eighth Finger spoke:
"Did you forget that we sponsored this ritual to draw on the Earth Veins? Turning your back on us like this really hurts my feelings…"
Hearing these words, The Proliferating Green Dragon said flatly, "I also helped you destroy the Earth Veins. It was just mutual exploitation.
There's no talk of who owes whom!"
If this strange group hadn't suddenly appeared, offering assistance in drawing on the Earth Veins and a more excellent Miracle Ritual, it might have needed to prepare for a much longer ti.
It might have even died of old age in the mystic realm.
Therefore, even though Fan Lü knew there was a conspiracy, she was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so she agreed, making a deal with the devil.
"That also makes sense, but that's on the premise that you draw on the entire Borderlands' Earth Veins.
But now you've failed, which is a breach of contract. We'll have to take sothing else as compensation…"
Eighth Finger said playfully, her voice gradually turning cold.
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by The Proliferating Green Dragon:
"The location of the object the Mother of Dusk dreams of. How's that for compensation?"
"What!?" Eighth Finger was slightly surprised and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say you didn't know?"
Fan Lü didn't explain.
She calmly swallowed the fruit, and her lower abdon bulged slightly. She caressed it gently, a maternal glow on her face, and said slowly:
"When he awakens from The Decaying Jade Palace, all secrets will be revealed…"
"This is…"
Seeing this, Eighth Finger was stunned for a mont, then burst out laughing, holding her stomach:
"Hahahaha, your lover beca your son! I never thought the Transmigration Fruit could be used like this.
How interesting…"
Eighth Finger laughed until she was bent over, her impressive figure on full display.
The Butcher's mouth twitched slightly, and he quietly moved a little distance away.
It was simply too embarrassing. And this female green dragon was crazy enough to go this far just to revive her lover!
This kind of pathological love was already a burden!
Won are so troubleso!
Indeed, only by following in the footsteps of Truth's Benevolent Father can one always walk on the correct path.
Having been in the Faceless Brotherhood for a long ti, the Butcher's faith had grown increasingly firm.
For such an amusing matter, Eighth Finger naturally nodded in agreent:
"I definitely can't miss out on sothing so interesting.
If we can find the location, we might be able to find the seal's location and tear down that High Tower ahead of schedule…"
Listening to this chirping voice, Fan Lü's expression was calm. She ignored this lunatic, sneering inwardly.
Without drawing on the power of the entire Borderlands' Earth Veins, how could the transmigration ritual be completely successful?
It was only a small part successful. To be fully revived, she would still need to borrow power from a higher dinsion or even taboo forces.
The Faceless Brotherhood wanted to use her, but wasn't she also using them to create a world where he existed?
As Fan Lü was thinking, Eighth Finger suddenly drew close and said with a grin:
"By the way, have you made the baby's clothes? Bought a milk bottle? And diapers, you probably don't have any, right? It looks like this big sister needs to prepare so…"
Fan Lü: "…"
MDZZ!
While the Faceless Brotherhood was plotting, Lu Yu was also sorting through this ti's harvest.
It was indeed sowhat unexpected…
