World Gate, shortened to Realm Gate!
As its na suggests, it is a fixed gateway into a world, safer and simpler than tearing space or using a summoning ritual, and it doesn't cause rejection.
As ntioned before, all worlds are but grains of sand in the Supre Mother River.
So grains are polished into gems by the river's current, while other lucky sands that can't withstand the main channel fall into a tributary, hidden at the bottom of the Prival Spirit Sea like Ancient Existences and Aberrant Bodies.
These Small Worlds themselves possess spirituality and an Evolutionary Instinct, so they absorb the power of the Prival Spirit Sea, eager to leap to a higher level, even choosing more efficient thods…
Sending out a Realm Gate to find and absorb a Prival Copper Vein!
To use an analogy, it was sowhat similar to Little Spider's Void Cross, which constantly searches for resources in reality to supply the Matriarch's Nest in The Void.
Except the Realm Gate couldn't attack. It was more like a Mining Cart from Red Alert; it could only take a beating when faced with danger, and it was even worse, with an extrely slow escape speed.
Once caught, it was equivalent to handing over the keys to one's ho, allowing any Unknown Existence to co and go as they pleased.
If it were a powerful Ancient Existence, they would directly crush the world, blowing it to smithereens.
Even a slightly weaker one, still a lifeform capable of roaming the Prival Spirit Sea, would be at least Gold rank or even at the Spirituality Transformation stage.
To the creatures of a Small World, it was no different from an Extraterrestrial Demon God descending, bringing a Dinsionality Reduction Strike and unleashing a terrifying disaster.
When Beast Tars explored the Mother River, if they were lucky enough to find a Realm Gate and were strong enough themselves, they could easily suppress the civilization within, enslaving them to excavate the entire world's resources to help themselves grow quickly.
There was even a chance that these Small Worlds could give birth to treasures that would tempt even a True King.
If one's strength was insufficient, it could also be sold for a great fortune.
What if there were no treasures, no special ecological products, not even any extraordinary abilities?
Hmm… it didn't really matter!
Sotis, the creatures of the Small World themselves were a form of wealth.
'I heard that the top-tier ancient families and powerful schools control the Realm Gates to many Small Worlds, becoming Lords of the World and transforming them into breeding bases for pet beasts, cultivating special pet beasts.'
'They firmly control the Evolutionary Chain, thereby assembling a unique Spiritual Puzzle.
They even control the evolutionary path of the puzzle, controlling the number of Beast Tars on a certain path from the very source. If you want to beco stronger, you can only join them, thus monopolizing talent.
'
'This is actually considered the good side, rely monopolizing knowledge. So dark factions or Evil God Cults even treat Small Worlds as a Breeding Ground, spreading certain Twisted Matter or Evil God Contamination, and then harvesting them periodically to foster powerful Evil God Servitors and Holy Relics.
'
'Just like in the Heavenly Nun's world, there was a Native God who was constantly using the Blood-Corroding Insects to stir up a Demonic Tide, harvesting the life force of the entire world to help it break through…'
Lu Yu looked at the blue Gate of Light in the distance, his thoughts churning. As his strength grew, the world he saw beca more and more real.
The more he understood, the more he could feel the vastness and mystery of the Main World!
The Beast Taming World he was in was one of the top-tier worlds among the countless worlds in the Mother River.
Over the long years, it had experienced several taboo eras, endured the trouble-making of so many Old Gods, Evil Gods, and Taboo Existences, and had even gone through the Great Star-Shattering Expedition between the Human Race and Demonic Beasts.
Not only did it remain unhard, it even developed better and better!
The World Barrier grew stronger, drastically increasing the difficulty for Higher-dinsional Existences to interfere.
Most of these lofty Deities drifted in the Endless Void outside the countless worlds, or in Ecological Worlds, possessing their own unique Divine Kingdom Ecosystems.
A small number hid within the world, and so were buried in the past, gradually fading away.
Although they did not need the faith of Believers, they sotis encountered strong World Barriers and could only use the summons of their believers as a dium to exert influence.
If it weren't for the Main World's own Suppressive Force, the Mother of Dusk would have long since descended in her true form.
In addition, the Main World was also connected to Ecological Worlds like The Void, The Abyss, and the Pure White Heaven, which contained many Divine Kingdom Ecosystems created by Evil God Cults and Demonic Beasts, Disaster Ancient Dragons, and so on…
Any one of these things, if placed in a Small World, would be a world-ending disaster, but to the Main World, it was just a piece of cake.
"If the waters here aren't deep, I'll eat Little Mouse!" Lu Yu couldn't help but mutter.
Little Mouse in his pocket shivered, with an utterly confused expression on its face:
"???"
'What did I do? Why does the Cultivator suddenly want to eat ?'
'And he's talking about whether the water is deep or not? Could it be that he's already been contaminated by the Mother River?'
Scared Little Mouse.
jpg!
However, it was also because the Main World was too powerful that the Beast Tars born from this special spiritual system were, as Zhou Cheng had said, all a bunch of lunatics!
For example, there was the God-tier Fishing Enthusiast who specifically went fishing in The Abyss and fished an entire plane of The Abyss empty. They couldn't do anything to him and could only put him on the Will of the Abyss's blacklist.
There were geniuses who contracted Evil God Servitors as pet beasts, walking the line between madness and death, enjoying the pleasure of potentially undergoing Aberration at any mont.
The Borderlands where Lu Yu was located would also often excavate the coordinates of Small Worlds controlled by Evil God Cults.
Once a location was locked, a Cross-planar War would be initiated to harvest the Evil God's Breeding Ground.
That scene… according to Lilith's description, was grand, spectacular, and utterly shocking.
That was truly being audacious and lawless!
It was only after this that Lu Yu felt that the foundation of the Human Alliance seed far more terrifying than he had imagined!
'No wonder she said that Spirituality Transformation is just a starting point, and only by ascending to the Morning Star Rank can one see the truly wonderful side of this world.'
'Once I reach the Moonlight Rank, I'll be considered an Important Figure in any world, a Magnate-level, also known as an Undying Magnate.
Even a Native God might not reach this level. As for True King, that's still too far away from …'
Lu Yu murmured softly.
The more he thought about it, the more his blood boiled. He wished he could enter the Small World's gate before him sooner, to try and see if he could use his 【The Herder】 talent to herd the entire world, helping him step into Spirituality Transformation and then Ascend to Morning Star Rank sooner.
But after seeing these three Aberrant Bodies, his mood quickly cooled down…
No matter how beautiful the fantasy, one had to act according to reality!
Unlike humans who needed to advance step by step, Aberrant Bodies were born from the fusion of a group of beings who had failed their advancent and had already gone completely mad.
Therefore, they didn't need to prepare any rituals; they just needed to continuously devour Prival Copper to stack their power until they broke their limits.
So, the longer an Aberrant Body existed in the Prival Spirit Sea, the more terrifying its accumulated Combat Power beca.
A certain Mr.
Krabs who had just advanced to Spirituality Transformation, although at the sa level, was like an infant compared to an adult when put next to them.
The Realm Gate that appeared this ti, with its countless creatures inside, was a huge temptation for the Aberrant Bodies.
As long as they used the vast number of lives as a Sacrificial Offering, they could easily step into the Morning Star rank, or even mutate to a whole new level and enter the next tributary of the Mother River.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to give up.
If Lu Yu wanted to make a move on the Realm Gate, he would have to face the siege of three top-tier Spirituality Transformation Aberrant Bodies!
With his current strength, plus being at the bottom of the sea where he couldn't fight freely, he could at most contend with one. Facing two, he could only manage a clean retreat.
If all three attacked at once, especially that mysterious Bird-type Aberrant Body, if it targeted him, he would very likely die here.
Moreover, a prolonged fierce battle would create a lot of commotion, easily attracting so unknown things.
"I really show off with my Disciple vest in the outside world, only to co to the Mother River to get beaten up… But, risks and opportunities coexist!"
Lu Yu sighed. There wasn't much fear in his heart; instead, he grew calr, countless thoughts flowing through his mind.
The Aberrant Bodies were powerful, but they were in a long-term state of chaos with extrely low wisdom. Furthermore, Lu Yu's Spirit Lamp vision was farther than theirs, and he had the Great Fortune buff granting him luck in the water.
The advantage is mine!
Lu Yu set a small flag for himself and observed carefully. He could see a large number of undercurrents and whirlpools near the Realm Gate, caused by the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation as it continuously pulled in and devoured the spiritual energy from the nearby Prival Copper Vein.
It made this area of the Spirit Sea unstable!
Once the Realm Gate finished devouring, it would calm down and then look for the next vein.
"Wait, I think I have an idea!"
Seeing this scene, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Yu's mind.
He muttered in a low voice:
"But I still need to verify my hypothesis and prepare an escape route. Without a hundred percent certainty, what's the difference between this and a suicide mission…"
From the perspective of his Crimson Dragon Head, the three Aberrant Bodies were approaching the Realm Gate.
The Octopus Aberrant Body constantly waved its tentacles, faces spitting out air currents, propelling its body forward and accelerating.
As for the Centipede Aberrant Body, its nurous limbs coordinated in a sudden swing, allowing it to cover a large distance with each movent.
As for the most bizarre Bird-type Imagination Body, it lagged far behind, rely continuously emitting a vast amount of Resentnt.
The three maintained a delicate distance from each other, without colliding, let alone starting a huge battle that would give him a chance at finding a treasure.
"Although these Aberrant Bodies don't have enough vision, they have lived in the Spirit Sea's ecosystem for a long ti, adapted to the environnt, and possess so special safety-sensing chanism that allows them to avoid contact with Aberrant Bodies of the sa level as much as possible…"
After discovering this, Lu Yu couldn't help but frown. He knew he couldn't just watch the show anymore.
If he really waited until they gathered near the World Gate, he would truly have no way to act.
If these guys went crazy and swallowed the Realm Gate, it would be a huge loss.
"Screw it, let's fight 'em!"
Lu Yu made a decisive decision. In the Spirit Lamp held by the Dragon of Dusk, the azure-gold oil burned faster, its glow shining, but instead of spreading, it was applied to 【The Shepherd】.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A large number of Thousand-Faced Soul Tree Rootlets spread out from 【The Shepherd】 and went straight into the Void Engine composed of the six Void Eyes, acting as fuel. The purple flas suddenly multiplied!
Boom!
With an invisible roar, 【The Shepherd】 suddenly pushed forward and accelerated, shooting out like a cannonball!
The fourth "Dragon-shaped Aberrant Body" had joined the fray!
"Guji, guji…"
The Octopus Aberrant Body was originally still swimming when that familiar sensation ca again.
It seed sothing behind it had locked onto it.
Hmph!
But it was already used to this feeling, so it just continued swimming forward.
However, the faces on its tentacles, as they swung, routinely glanced behind it.
However, the image that ca back… left it stunned!
In the Octopus Aberrant Body's vision, a bizarrely-shaped thing suddenly shot out from the darkness!
That's right, even from the perspective of an Aberrant Body, it was an exceptionally strange fellow.
Three dragon heads of different colors were intertwined, covered with eyes and tree roots. Its appearance was incredibly bizarre.
One look and you could tell it was an extrely chaotic Aberrant Body, one that must have died a miserable death in its past life.
Although the Octopus Aberrant Body had the desire to devour its own kind, the Realm Gate's attraction was stronger at this mont.
Its first reaction was to avoid it!
There was a feeling… of encountering sothing filthy!
"This guy… is such a coward!"
Even Lu Yu was stunned for a mont when he saw this.
This guy wasn't playing by the rules!
Shouldn't it have rushed up to fight desperately, then be led by him to the Centipede Aberrant Body, and then they'd kill each other…
It's a disgrace to all Aberrant Bodies to have you among them!
Lu Yu snarked inwardly but quickly ca up with a counterasure, directly accelerating towards the opponent with the Void Engine.
At the sa ti, a large number of Thousand-Faced Soul Tree Rootlets rapidly intertwined in front of 【The Shepherd】, forming a giant spear shimring with the light of the Yellow Springs.
"Thousand Faces Spear!"
The giant spear pierced through the water, and the Octopus Aberrant Body reacted quickly.
Its nurous tentacles intertwined, forming a wall. The multitude of faces rged into one twisted, blurry, and sorrowful face.
Wall of Sighs!
The face pattern let out a sigh, which transford into a pale white ring that expanded, colliding with the Thousand Faces Spear.
Boom!
The violent impact from the collision shook the Prival Spirit Sea, causing the currents to intensify and creating nurous new whirlpools.
The intense shockwave spread, knocking back both the Octopus Aberrant Body and The Shepherd simultaneously.
"Guji, guji!"
The Octopus Aberrant Body was also enraged.
It didn't expect to be picked on even when it tried to mind its own business. Just as it was about to counterattack, it suddenly found itself covered by a multitude of weird, pale white limbs, like rust-colored ivy, which quickly sward over its entire body and began to tighten, causing the faces on its tentacles to shatter, completely restricting its movent.
It was as if it had fallen into…
the Corpse Mountain's Embrace!
"Got it!"
Seeing this, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth lifted slightly. His goal was not to kill the Aberrant Body, but to prevent it from interfering with him.
So, through calculations, he directly knocked it back to the side of another Imagination Body to cause chaos.
The best target would have been the Bird-type Imagination Body, but it was too far away, so he switched to the Centipede Aberrant Body.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A head ford from a mass of limbs slowly extended from beside the Octopus Imagination Body's head. Although it had no eyes, a morbid attachnt was conveyed from the eye sockets constructed from nurous arms.
"If we fuse into one, we can be together forever!"
A distorted and chaotic voice ca from the Centipede Aberrant Body. The limbs wrapped around the Octopus Imagination Body opened their palms, their fingers extending and sharpening like blades, preparing to dismber and dismantle its body, then attach the pieces to itself.
Crack!
However, just as it was about to make its move, it hit empty air. The Octopus Imagination Body's body beca like cartilage, quickly breaking free.
Then, a tentacle whipped out. The swollen, pale faces on it opened their mouths, revealing sharp teeth, and as the tentacle lashed out, they lunged forward to bite.
Thud!
Along with the dull sound of the lash, the Centipede Aberrant Body curled into a ball, but a large number of its limb bones were still shattered and instantly broken, caving inwards as it suffered intense pain.
Crack! Crackle!
However, during this process, the faces opened their mouths wide and gnawed fiercely at the flesh.
But when they bit off the flesh from these limbs, no blood flowed out. It was like tearing at pieces of rotting flesh, revealing the stark white bones beneath.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Centipede Aberrant Body was not to be outdone. It directly controlled its limbs to turn into blades, slashing towards its opponent.
The mont they collided, it severed a section of a tentacle, then minced it to pieces.
The two attacked each other like this, beginning a frantic battle.
Their attacks were cruel and bloody, but throughout the process, they maintained the characteristic of Prival Spirit Sea life, controlling the scope of the battle and not making too much noise.
It was like a silent pantomi of battle!
After all, in the Spirit Sea, the result of continuously making loud noises… was only death!
"Ti to go harvest the fruits of victory!"
Having dealt with these two, Lu Yu piloted 【The Shepherd】 and began to approach the World Gate.
However, just as he was about to get close, Little Mouse behind him suddenly let out a cry of alarm:
"Cultivator, there's sothing wrong with that Bird-type Aberrant Body!"
"Let see!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu imdiately switched his perspective and saw a scene that horrified him.
The Bird-type Aberrant Body had been slowly approaching from a distance, its luxurious clothes fluttering like a fairy's feathered robe, stained with black, filthy blood.
It hung its five heads low, shrouded in eternal sorrow.
If it continued on its original path, it would soon run into the other two fighting, and the situation would directly devolve into a grand lee.
The smallest price for the greatest profit.
But at this mont, it suddenly stopped in its tracks, no longer advancing.
Its five lowered heads all lifted up, their bloody, empty eye sockets staring at his position, and the sorrowful murmur sounded once more:
"You have a special scent on you… so familiar… Have you seen my children… Where did my children go…"
"This thing can see us!"
Lu Yu was greatly alard. He didn't expect this thing's Spirit Sight range to be so far.
His premonition was indeed correct; it was the most dangerous of the three Aberrant Bodies.
As for the reason… he already knew.
It was because the long-dormant Taboo Cursed Seal had co out to make trouble again, emitting a special aura that was sowhat similar to the Bird-type Aberrant Body's.
Although it was suppressed by the Legendary Skill 【Fate's Protection】 and wasn't strong, it was fatal at this mont.
"This scoundrel really is up to no good!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but curse, but he didn't stop his actions. He imdiately turned and rushed towards the location of the Realm Gate.
However, this reaction drove the Bird-type Imagination Body completely insane. A vast amount of spiritual energy was unleashed, and a sharp woman's voice echoed within this hundred-ter stretch of the Spirit Sea:
"…Child… My child… You were the one who stole my child…"
Lu Yu didn't look back, only planning to grab the thing and leave.
However, the next mont, countless black feathers suddenly appeared in front of 【The Shepherd】, floating in the Spirit Sea, continuously dripping with extrely Tainted black blood, like a grieving woman shedding tears of blood!
Feather of Filth-Blood!
"Not good! Use the Thousand Faces Shield, quickly!"
There was not a trace of sympathy in Lu Yu's heart, only an intense sense of crisis. He decisively had Little Mouse squeeze out the thoughts in its mind to form a shield.
"Leave it to Little Mouse!"
Little Mouse was very reliable at critical monts. The instant it heard the command, it spread out the thoughts it had long accumulated, condensing hundreds of shields around 【The Shepherd】, like a blood moon.
Rumble!
The next mont, the nurous black feathers instantly exploded, releasing a powerful shockwave that shook the Spirit Sea, directly sending 【The Shepherd】 flying. Accompanied by violent shaking, it retreated several tens of ters.
Fortunately, Little Spider promptly used its Spider Silk to secure its master's body, so he didn't end up tumbling around.
Even so, two-thirds of the shields Little Mouse had condensed were shattered, and the remaining parts were coated with black, tainted blood, like an ulcer on the bone, attempting to corrode 【The Shepherd】.
"This thing is no less powerful than The Proliferating Green Dragon!"
Lu Yu was shocked. Through the perspective of the three Dragon Heads, he saw the rapidly approaching Bird-type Aberrant Body.
The black, tainted blood from its eye sockets continuously overflowed, spreading around its body and forming an extra pair of wings to accelerate.
The commotion here also attracted the attention of the other two Aberrant Bodies.
Their desire for the Realm Gate surpassed everything else, and they also charged over directly.
Seeing this, Lu Yu also manipulated 【The Shepherd】, activated the Void Engine to its fullest, and rushed towards the Realm Gate.
"…Child… Give back my child!"
The Bird-type Aberrant Body spread out frantic ntal fluctuations, its shrill wails echoing through the hundred-ter range of the Prival Spirit Sea as it accelerated towards Lu Yu.
"Fifty ters!"
"Thirty ters!"
"Twenty ters!"
"Fifteen ters!"
Lu Yu counted silently in his heart, looking at the two terrifying Aberrant Bodies, as well as the relentlessly pursuing Bird-type Aberrant Body behind him, his gaze growing colder!
"Ten ters!"
"Five ters!"
"Three ters!"
"Finally…"
However, when they were only two ters away from the Realm Gate, the other Aberrant Bodies also went crazy.
The Octopus Aberrant Body and the Centipede Aberrant Body shattered parts of their own bodies, suddenly accelerating and directly overtaking Lu Yu, now only a hair's breadth from the Realm Gate.
The Bird-type Aberrant Body was also close at hand.
Its five heads stretched out and snapped at him. Once touched, he would be devoured completely.
"It's over…"
"As if!"
The serious expression on Lu Yu's face in The Shepherd vanished, replaced by a cold smile:
"Since you want it so much, you can have it!"
Lu Yu suddenly maneuvered 【The Shepherd】, made a sharp turn, and charged towards the area of the Prival Copper Vein instead.
This scene left the Centipede Aberrant Body and Octopus Aberrant Body sowhat confused, but they were soon overco by frenzied desire and prepared to seize the Realm Gate.
The Bird-type Aberrant Body also didn't have ti to turn around. The three collided, and just as it was about to continue its pursuit of Lu Yu, a mutation occurred.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Nurous tentacles extended from the deeper seabed, instantly entangling and binding the three Aberrant Bodies, which couldn't break free no matter how they struggled.
The next mont, a figure rose from the seabed.
It was actually a giant, snake-like lifeform.
Its appearance was similar to an eel.
It had an enormous body, no eyes on its head, only a giant mouth with a massive lower jaw filled with sharp, fine teeth. A red lantern hung from its tail, shining brightly.
Crunch!
The mont it appeared, it directly swallowed the Centipede Aberrant Body, cutting and chewing it with its countless fine teeth, digesting it in an instant. A large number of limbs grew on its body.
As its body rose from the darkness, it was revealed that this thing was extrely bloated, with traces of many other Aberrant Bodies remaining on it.
"It really ca out!"
Lu Yu just sneered when he saw this.
He had noticed sothing was wrong from the very beginning. He had discovered three Aberrant Bodies within a hundred-ter range, but as he explored near the Realm Gate, even with the attraction of the Prival Copper Vein, he hadn't encountered any other Aberrant Bodies approaching.
It was as if the area had been cleaned out by sothing!
If this could be explained as a coincidence, then when Lu Yu attacked the Octopus Aberrant Body, he had sunk a little further and vaguely saw a huge black shadow flash by.
And during the final life-and-death race towards the Prival Copper Vein, he saw marks of sothing rubbing against and gnawing on it.
This completely confird it for him. The so-called Prival Copper Vein and Realm Gate were all just bait used by a larger, more terrifying Aberrant Body for fishing!
So, Lu Yu simply used its hand to get rid of these few Aberrant Bodies!
In the process, both the Taboo Cursed Seal and the Bird-type Aberrant Body were rely tools to complete the plan.
However…
Because the Giant Eel Aberrant Body's body was too huge, several hundred ters long, it directly wrapped around this entire area. The red light from its tail shone, covering the area and turning it into a cage.
Things seed to be spiraling out of control!
It slowly turned its head, looking at Lu Yu's 【The Shepherd】 while swallowing the Octopus Aberrant Body, its body becoming even more bloated and huge.
The aning was obvious.
It also regarded Lu Yu as food. Faced with the blockade of this Morning Star Rank Aberrant Body, there was no escape.
Faced with such a desperate situation, the Thousand Faces Spear on 【The Shepherd】 condensed once again, three of them this ti, exuding the aura of the Yellow Springs.
However, this giant Eel Aberrant Body didn't care in the slightest.
This level of power wasn't enough to threaten it. It preferred to enjoy its prey's final despair.
After it finished eating the last Aberrant Body in its grasp, it would then eat this bizarrely-shaped Aberrant Body.
Bang!
However, the next mont, 【The Shepherd】 suddenly made a move.
The Thousand Faces Spear was not aid at the giant eel, but pierced into the Prival Copper Vein, instantly shattering and detonating it!
Boom!
A vast amount of spiritual energy was unleashed at this mont, igniting all the undercurrents and whirlpools, creating a resonance that caused the spiritual energy of this entire section of the Prival Spirit Sea to boil, forming a huge vortex. Even the Giant Eel Aberrant Body felt fear.
Chaos began to spread!
Aboard 【The Shepherd】, Lu Yu laughed out loud:
"Sorry, you're part of the plan too!"
"Next, get ready to welco…"
"The tsunami!"
Seven thousand two hundred words, asking for monthly tickets.
