Rumble!
The magma was still erupting, the great earth trembling!
Rolling black smoke swept across the sky, obscuring the light, the world growing dim.
Yet, in the face of such a natural disaster.
A figure stood on the edge of the volcano, its blood-colored ribbons dancing in the wind, like burning flas filling the Void.
The Dragon Horns on its head winded, emitting a powerful Dragon Might.
Its perfect body, like a fusion of cha and Flesh and Blood, was wreathed in gloomy Black Qi, its pair of eyes gleaming with a frenzied Killing Intent.
It was Little Mouse's First Incarnation—the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant!
At this mont, it had also used the Gigantification skill, increasing its body to three ters.
From a distance, it looked like a small mountain, its ferocious might overwhelming!
Although it was much smaller than the entire volcano, its silhouette was incomparably dazzling, becoming the focus of the world.
At the volcano's crater,
"So angry!"
Right now, it was, following the Rat of Lust, the Rat of Sloth, and the Gluttonous Mouse…
The Wrathful Mouse!
"Wasting food, and even ruining Little Mouse's, Sister Spider's, and Cultivator's precious vacation ti!"
The rage in Little Mouse's heart was like a surging river, endless and unceasing.
The dark red patterns on its body shone, and boiling Dragon Qi spread out with its every breath, corroding the ground near the volcano's crater, causing similar patterns to erge.
Therefore,
It must be slaughtered!
"You mongrel, how dare you…"
Following a roar, the volcanic eruption intensified.
The scorching magma churned, and the Molten Mountain Demon reappeared. It had just started to speak when it saw the giant Dragon Ant raise a huge boulder and suddenly smash it down, whistling through the air!
Empowered by Absolute Strength, it possessed terrifying destructive power!
Thump!
Along with a loud noise, a large amount of magma shot out.
The Molten Mountain Demon hadn't even finished its threat before it was smashed back down, sinking to the bottom, feeling utterly wronged.
At least let it finish talking!
Where did this Reckless Brute co from!?
What enraged it even more, however, was that the rocks from above were still being smashed down, as if to forcefully kill it right here and seal the volcano in the process.
It didn't care what tricks you had; they were all just flashy and useless.
Directly One Strength Breaks All Techniques!
"In your dreams!"
Rumble!
The Molten Mountain Demon roared, injecting its own spiritual energy into the small volcano, once again causing the volcano to tremble.
The eruption column intensified, instantly spewing a pillar of magma, and it seized the opportunity to charge up.
"I've finally caught my chance! I'm going to burn you to ashes!"
The Molten Mountain Demon roared, and vast Abyssal Spiritual Energy gathered.
It suddenly threw a punch, causing a large amount of magma to boil and form a giant hand of magma that grabbed toward Little Mouse at the crater!
Hand of Magma!
A Racial Skill of the Molten Mountain Demon. It could manipulate magma into a giant hand, which contained imnse power and a high temperature sufficient to burn all things, suppressing all opponents!
It especially liked to scald its prey, even charring it black, before eating it.
Because it knew it was still in the heartland of the Human Race, the Molten Mountain Demon wasn't prepared to waste ti and prepared for a quick battle, quick resolution!
"Die!"
The giant hand blotted out the sky, its might unparalleled!
Although it couldn't compare to the Queen Bee in the Mystic Realm of Decay back then, it far surpassed an ordinary Spirituality Transformation, several tiers higher than Little Mouse!
However, faced with such a terrifying blow, Little Mouse felt not a shred of fear in its heart. Instead, it rembered the hot pot that had just been overturned and those top-tier ingredients.
It hadn't even had a few bites before they were wasted by the fellow before it!
At this thought, Little Mouse's rage soared. Limitless anger amplified its Dragon Qi, which spread around it.
At the sa ti, Strength Rings manifested within its body, fifty of them in total, complenting the phantom of the Blood-colored Star Field reflected by its external Qi and Blood, condensing a mountain-shattering power.
After advancing to the Commander Rank, its core skill as an Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, 【Strength Ring】, naturally wouldn't be neglected.
Cultivator had long ago purchased the corpses of Commander Rank demonic beasts through the Dark Moon Chamber of Comrce. Since the Strength Rings only required the flesh and blood spirituality within, it didn't matter if they lacked extraordinary organs.
Although the price was much cheaper, buying ten of them had more or less completely emptied his savings.
His bank card was almost zeroed out, with only a few tens of thousands left!
This was also one of the reasons Lu Yu ca to the Hot Spring Mountain Villa, mainly to alleviate the feeling of being favored by the God of Poverty.
Therefore, the current Little Mouse possessed Fifty Strength Rings. Coupled with its Dragon Attribute physique, its own strength had long been enhanced to a terrifying degree.
In addition, it could resist soul attacks of the sa level and imbue its attacks with transcendent spiritual energy to enhance its destructive power.
Even if a Primordial Variant Species Desolate Strength Ant of the sa rank stood before it, it would be directly crushed!
Now, its every move faintly held the potential of a Beast of Earthquakes!
This was also the reason why Little Mouse had rushed to fight in the first place!
When one harbors a sharp weapon, killing intent arises on its own.
Dare to provoke , and I'll smash your damn head in!
Bang!
Little Mouse, in its Dragon Ant body, dug its feet into the ground and suddenly raised its fist. The ribbon-like Thousand-Faced Tentacles behind it wound around and intertwined on its Ant Arm, gathering the strength of its entire body into a single point!
Thousand Faces Armant—Ghost Shattering Star Arm!
Boom!
With a punch thrown, the air in front of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant suddenly exploded, the vibrating air turning into a surging shockwave.
Endless Ghostly Power spread out, sweeping forward along with the fist energy.
Wooooo!
It transford into twisted and chaotic Ghosts, which roared as they stretched out their pale arms, grabbing toward the Hand of Magma!
Wherever they passed, everything turned into a vast Nether Earth!
Boom!
The mont the two collided, a terrifying impact erupted, kicking up a horrific shockwave that sent volcanic ash sweeping in all directions.
The powerful Hand of Magma, capable of incinerating any elental attack, t with resistance when faced with this terrifying power from the Nether Earth. It was quickly corroded by a large number of Ghosts, shattered, and scattered into fine powder.
Mixing with the abundant smoke and dust, it obscured the line of sight.
"How is this possible!?"
The Molten Mountain Demon was in disbelief.
It subconsciously looked over, only to find that the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant on the ground had disappeared.
Where did it go?
A wordless fear welled up in its heart, but its powerful combat instinct made it retreat quickly.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late!
Bang!
From within the smoke and dust, Little Mouse's figure suddenly shot out, accompanied by a sonic boom, smashing forward like a cannonball.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the Molten Mountain Demon promptly raised its magma-flowing arms to block in front of itself.
However, Little Mouse only sneered at this, raising its Ant Foot. The fifty blood-colored Strength Rings within its body overlapped, forming a giant Dragon Ant phantom behind it.
Wrapped in endless rage, it lifted its Ant Foot.
"This punch is for the freshly sliced beef!"
Boom!
With one punch, it instantly shattered the Molten Mountain Demon's arms.
The violent tremor numbed its entire body, causing it to spit out a mouthful of magma-like blood, its eyes filled with disbelief.
How could this little fellow's body contain such imnse power?
It was even more terrifying than so Abyssal Demons who specialized in strength!
But fortunately, forces are reciprocal!
The opponent would also have to bear this force; it couldn't be used continuously!
The Molten Mountain Demon was, after all, an elite who had fought its way out of the Abyss, rich in combat experience.
It prepared to find an opportunity to counterattack the mont its opponent was hit by the recoil. However, in the next mont, it was dumbfounded…
Because the massive recoil was quickly offset by the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant's special body structure, and a Soul Cloud condensed beneath it as a leverage point.
With a sudden stomp, it threw another punch!
Boom!
The Molten Mountain Demon did its utmost to dodge, even swiftly condensing a 【Shield of Magma】 in front of it, but it was instantly crushed. A part of its abdon was shattered along with it, and the magma-like Marrow Blood flowing within spilled onto the earth, letting out sizzling white smoke.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, Little Mouse's assault continued, growing even more ferocious, to the point of becoming an afterimage!
"This punch is to commorate the beef balls!"
"This punch is to commorate the lamb slices!"
"This punch is for not letting be sese!"
"This punch… I didn't even get to taste it, I can't rember. Whatever, I just want to beat you up!"
"…"
The Molten Mountain Demon was beaten into a steady retreat.
It felt the intense hatred from its opponent, which even surpassed its own resentnt from having its body shattered and spending hundreds of years repairing its soul.
What kind of blood-deep hatred is this!?
It rembered being ambushed and killed by humans as soon as it arrived at the Borderlands, so how could there still be soone who hated it so much?
And what on earth were these beef and lamb things it was talking about!
"It's over!"
However, before it could think further, Little Mouse had already charged in front of it, seized the opportunity, and sent it flying with a punch, making it fall back into the depths of the magma.
Boom!
This ti, the terrifying impact happened to collide with the impending eruption of the small volcano, directly stuffing a volcanic eruption back down, leaving only a muffled sound!
It had actually suppressed a small volcano with its power alone!
"So… so strong!"
The people of Hot Spring Town, who were fleeing in the distance, were constantly watching the direction of the volcano. They happened to witness this scene and were stunned!
Soone murmured, "Is this internal strife between demons?"
After all, to those who didn't know the truth,
The current Little Mouse, in appearance, looked more like a truly revived demon!
"This must be the legendary Abyssal Dragon Demon.
It's truly savage in nature, so it's normal for them to engage in infighting!"
"Just looking at this thing gives a feeling of suffocation. It's too terrifying!"
"Whatever it is, while they're fighting amongst themselves, let's run.
Otherwise, we're done for!"
"…"
The others agreed. Although they felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if they had seen this demonic beast sowhere before, they thought it was unlikely.
It was probably a demonic beast born in the Abyssal Ecology, and they all looked similar.
The urgent priority was still to save their own lives.
Just as everyone was about to continue fleeing, a voice suddenly rang out:
"No, that's not a demon. It looks like… the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant!?"
The one who spoke was the glasses-wearing Chen Chi, his eyes fixed on the distant Little Mouse, his expression one of shock.
Zhao Bin beside him heard this and, looking dumbfounded, couldn't help but say:
"It looks a bit similar, but the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant I saw in the videos was nowhere near this big…"
Although it was a question, by the end, his tone already showed that he mostly believed it.
Even though Little Mouse's body was much larger, its signature appearance of flesh-and-blood cha was unique throughout the entire Alliance.
Plus, they had just seen Lu Yu at the Hot Spring Mountain Villa and confird the man himself was vacationing here. They had also seen that pet beast, so they could basically confirm that this was the one under Lu Yu's command…
The Dragon Ant that wields Absolute Might!
"Many pet beasts naturally experience a massive increase in size when they advance in rank!"
Chen Chi took a deep breath and explained:
"Especially Dragon-type pet beasts. Aside from their Dragon Attribute, their physique is also exceptionally strong, and they have outstanding learning talent. It's possible it has mastered a special skill similar to 【Gigantification】."
"Moreover, that one belonging to Great God Lu Yu seems to be a unique variant species with both Bug and Dragon attributes.
It might have also inherited the Zerg Race's characteristic of growing by devouring nutrients. Maybe what we saw before was just its form with its size suppressed, and this is its true size now."
By the end, even Chen Chi's voice was trembling, because this Dragon Ant had already displayed terrifying dominance in the videos before.
If it could continue to grow…
Then this Dragon Ant's potential could only be described by the word "terrifying."
Whether in the natural world or the world of pet beasts.
A larger size doesn't necessarily an more ferocious, but it definitely ans greater strength!
If the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant could grow as large as a mountain, combined with its already powerful strength, it could completely move mountains and fill seas!
Against an opponent, a stomp of its foot would be an earthquake, robbing them of even the ability to stand firm!
Even flying opponents would, most of the ti, be at the sa height as it when it stood, and it could just reach out and grab them!
How the hell could you fight that!
However, Chen Chi felt this should be an ability similar to the 【Gigantification】 skill. If its size really increased with growth, then the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant's potential would be comparable to a Pure-blood Dragon, or even stronger!
"No wonder it's sought after by the Machine King Domain and regarded as the pet beast closest to a Perfect Life!"
Chen Chi murmured, feeling the huge gulf between an ordinary person and a genius!
Even if they ca from an ordinary background, they could still conquer such a powerful Dragon Beast.
Unlike them, who couldn't win fights and could only earn money to buy food to please pet beasts, and even then, success wasn't guaranteed.
After all, there were too many people sucking up to them!
It was like a goddess with many backup candidates, so even a single show of goodwill could make them too happy to sleep all night.
Only to discover the next day that the "goddess" treated everyone like that, just to scam food.
Truly, comparisons are odious!
"I rember now, this really does look a lot like that Dragon Ant from the internet!"
The other people from Hot Spring Town also ca to their senses, understanding where that familiar feeling ca from.
As a fellow internet celebrity, Hot Spring Town naturally knew about this Supernova who was all over the web. They had even wanted to invite him for an endorsent.
It was just blocked by Great Abyss City High School. Even that Morning Star Rank Principal had spoken: everything would wait until after Lu Yu graduated for him to decide for himself.
Although they had given up on the idea, they had gathered so intelligence on Lu Yu. It was just that the size difference was too great, so they didn't make the connection imdiately.
After asking the trio, they learned that Lu Yu was actually vacationing here too, and they were both shocked and delighted!
"Great, we're saved!!"
"I can't believe he's here too. If I'd known, I would've gone to get an autograph!"
"As expected of the one-of-a-kind Dragon Ant, it's so cool! Go on, beat the crap out of that Abyssal Demon!"
"Lu Yu's strength is improving way too fast, isn't it? How long has it been, and he can already suppress a Spirituality Transformation level being!"
"Oh well, my house is probably a lost cause, but I can film a video to recoup my losses.
It's a good chance to get a bigger house!"
"…"
The residents of Hot Spring Town were, after all, people of the Human Race living on the border, experienced with disasters. For safety, they decided to retreat a bit further to watch the battle from a distance.
Otherwise, it would be easy to get caught in the battle shockwaves as collateral damage!
At the Hot Spring Mountain Villa,
Compared to their joy, Chiyue Honglian and the others were stunned.
"This little fellow… is already this strong!?"
Chiyue Honglian was a bit dazed.
Although she knew this Dragon Ant had limitless potential, she never expected… that it had already converted it into strength!
She vaguely rembered that not long ago, it could only fight to a draw with a high-stage Commander Thunderwing Serpent.
But now, it was suppressing a top-tier Spirituality Transformation level Molten Mountain Demon, beating it senseless!
Was this still the slow-growing Dragon Beast of popular perception?
Even bug-type beasts with short lifespans and rapid cultivation weren't this outrageous, right?
Especially that last punch.
Chiyue Honglian asked herself, if she didn't reveal her true form, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it and might even be forcefully killed!
The pet beast beside this monster Lu Yu, was also a monster!
"Did I wake up too early today? Is my brain still asleep? I actually saw Lu Yu's pet beast thrashing the Molten Mountain Demon!"
Lilith's Carslan Heart-Shaped Big Eyes widened. She felt that the Big Wooden Cabinet's worldview had been shattered, even more shocked than when her divination failed.
Because of the Legendary-tier skill 【Fate's Protection】, all detection was blocked. Even she couldn't see Little Mouse's strength, so she hadn't paid it any mind.
She never expected it could already crush a Spirituality Transformation!
How could there be such a monster, unless…
Lilith hurriedly asked Lu Yu:
"Has it already stepped into the Commander Rank?"
Lu Yu spread his hands.
"Yeah, I didn't expect this gluttonous fellow would break through after eating too much pet beast food."
Since it was exposed, Lu Yu wasn't planning to hide it.
It wasn't anything strange for a pet beast to break through early anyway.
There were many similar cases in the Alliance.
Due to abundant resources, the pet beast would take the lead, but one could also use the pet beast's spirituality to drive the Beast Tar to a faster breakthrough. It was a kind of shortcut.
But if one couldn't break through for a long ti, it would turn into a bad thing. As the strength continued to increase, the beast's spirituality would in turn pressure the Beast Taming Space, destroying the balance.
In severe cases, it could even lead to losing spiritual control and cause aberration.
That's why so great families, even when raising pet beasts for their heirs, wouldn't limitlessly increase their strength, but would choose to increase their foundation and potential.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing for a newcor beast tar.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Yu was already at peak Silver Rank.
With his talent, breaking through was only a matter of ti.
As for Little Mouse's self-referential na, that was an even smaller matter.
Because from the very beginning, when he introduced Little Mouse's first incarnation, he had called it "Shushu," which had the sa pronunciation.
Because it loves to eat Bronze Millet, it's quite reasonable, right?
Anyway, among beast tars, it wasn't rare to point at a dog and call it "ow-ow," or to call a tiger "Wang Cai."
What's more, whether it was Little Spider, Little Mouse, or the future Eggy, they all underwent special evolution through the taboo ability of Secret Food and were one-of-a-kind.
There was only one Thousand-Faced Soul Mouse in the world!
As long as Little Mouse didn't do sothing stupid and change its form in public, then no one would ever know that beneath the flesh and blood of this powerful Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, the soul of a Sese Hamster was hidden.
"No wonder…"
Lilith murmured softly.
If it was a Commander Rank challenging a Spirituality Transformation, it felt a little more reasonable…
…my ass!
Others just challenge, how did it turn into a crush on your end?
A Silver Rank Beast Tar who possesses combat power comparable to a Spirituality Transformation!
Such potential was second only to her own True King in his youth!
Although it was still a little off, that was a King who stood at the pinnacle of the mortal world!
Even the lofty Undying Magnates were actually incredibly far from being a True King!
Like ants!
It could be said that if Lu Yu could assemble a powerful Spiritual Puzzle and nurture a Law Seed, then he could be completely considered to have…
King-level Potential!
I have to say, although Chiyue ng is the sha of the succubi, her taste in n is truly top-notch!
Speaking of which, for this guy to be able to resist the Three Sisters' ability to devour vital essence, he might have the blood of the Kings or even higher beings flowing in him, or perhaps he has received the world's favor.
Lilith suddenly recalled the nine suns Lu Yu had initially ntioned.
Could it be that he wasn't mad, but because his Spirit Sight was too strong, he saw the spiritual energy rules emanating from the sun?
Then what, exactly, was his true talent?
At this thought, Lilith's eyes grew fervent. As for sun-induced aberration, she hadn't considered it at all.
After all, the source of all life is Her. If sothing happened to Her, this world would have long been destroyed.
It should be that Lu Yu was too weak. Even seeing a trace of the sun's spiritual energy rules would cause him to see double images!
But no matter what, she had to get this little fellow in her grasp.
Right… what was Chiyue ng, the core of Operation Hot Spring Battle, doing?
Lilith turned her head for a look and found that the lass was still staring at Lu Yu, the ahoge on her head swaying back and forth, as if she would be happy to just watch him for a whole day.
As for everything else, she never cared!
She even felt that Lu Yu was slling better and better, his scent growing more and more fragrant!
So happy!
"Forget it.
If Little ng won't do, there's still Little Honglian and the final trump card, Little Xi. I refuse to believe I can't capture this kid!"
Lilith had already prepared for the worst.
If she weren't a big wooden cabinet, she would have gone for it herself.
A pity Lu Yu had no taste, not knowing the beauty of Great Nature's scenery, nor Lilith's 108 Styles!
Truly all-natural, without a trace of technology!
Rumble!
Just when everyone thought it was over, another earthquake swept through, far more terrifying than the last.
The entire Hot Spring Mountain Villa began to shake.
A large amount of magma surged from the previously dormant volcano crater, covering the earth.
Wherever it passed, trees were instantly incinerated, and even rocks were lted by the high temperature!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, the boiling magma began to squirm, rapidly assembling into a fifty-ter-tall giant made entirely of magma. Its form was sowhat similar to the Molten Mountain Demon, with a huge, single-eyed ancient face growing on its abdon.
That was the ancient existence their race worshipped, nad the Molten Mountain-forger!
According to legend, the primogenitor of the Molten Mountain Demons was born from a drop of Its blood falling into a volcano, and they had continued to procreate to this day!
Therefore, volcanoes were their territory!
Roar!
Following a roar from the face on the magma giant's abdon, it spat out a searing ring of fire that spread out, reaching Little Mouse in an instant. Although it tily condensed the Thousand Faces Shield, it was still repelled by the terrifying impact.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Little Mouse's incarnation, the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant, was knocked back several dozen ters. The shield in front of it cracked inch by inch, burned to ashes by the flas, and turned into nothingness.
Seeing this scene, even the passersby who didn't understand high-end combat could feel the huge gap between them, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.
Could the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant really win?
"Not good.
This Molten Mountain Demon actually underwent atavism with its bloodline. It's using the power of the Molten Mountain-forger Totem to forcibly extract the volcanic origin to strengthen itself, greatly increasing its combat power.
The price is that the volcano will be damaged, even extinguished. Its strength is likely close to the Morning Star Rank now."
Seeing this, Chiyue Honglian's expression changed, and she said worriedly:
"Will it be alright on its own? Should I go help?"
"No need."
Lu Yu shook his head and said calmly:
"It hasn't used its full strength yet."
As his voice fell, Chiyue Honglian and the others were shocked.
By his aning, was everything just now rely a warm-up?
Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
Lu Yu didn't explain. As a Beast Tar, he believed in his pet beast.
Moreover…
You have volcanic spiritual energy, so why can't I cheat?
Thinking of this, The Herder Puzzle in Lu Yu's mind began to change…
Mysterious Hollow Masks began to appear in the Pasture, seeming to cry and laugh, gathering joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. With myriad transformations, they seed to reflect all living beings.
This ti it was…
The Thousand Faces Pasture!
