"But I still need to confirm it again, to prevent any mistakes!"
Lu Yu had always been rigorous in his work, and he would never fight an unprepared battle.
After all, Slave Beasts only had basic intelligence, so they could easily make mistakes or be deceived by certain void phantasms.
Plus, the more tis information was relayed, the more distorted it beca!
So, errors were prone to occur!
Fortunately, he had sold so useless materials a few days ago. After making a small profit, he used it all to purchase special miniature caras from the Dark Moon Chamber of Comrce that pet beasts could carry.
He didn't have to worry about interference from Spiritual Energy and had placed them on the Flicker Spiders.
This ti, it was the power of technology!
However, since there was no signal in the Void, Lu Yu could only connect to them with a data cable and his phone to retrieve the footage.
On the screen, the Flicker Spider was constantly jumping, causing the entire fra to shake violently. The viewing experience was terrible.
Lu Yu didn't mind this at all. He stared intently at the screen, praying that this wasn't an oolong incident.
As the Flicker Spiders continued to advance, the surrounding Void Turbulence grew stronger. Soon, they arrived at the area where the first Slave Beasts had perished.
The scene that ca into view made Lu Yu clench his fists.
"Excellent!"
Of course, he wasn't celebrating the deaths of the Flicker Spiders.
After all, they were fed with Space Fragnts, and each one was equivalent to a piece of moving gold!
To the once-again-impoverished Lu Yu, they were all darlings!
The reason he was excited was that they had encountered not a Void Storm, nor a legendary Void Giant Beast, but a dazzling, crystal-like expanse resting upon a vast amount of Void Spiritual Energy…
A Void Coral Colony!
Coral is not a plant, but rather a massive number of tiny, rice-grain-sized coral polyps with petal-like tentacles. It is a type of cnidarian that absorbs calcium and carbon dioxide to secrete listone as a protective shell.
Over ti, it accumulates and takes the form most people are familiar with.
The Void Coral Polyp was the sa, but it absorbed different things, secreting a special substance after devouring large amounts of Void Energy, Space Fragnts, and Void Impurities.
They were at the bottom of the Void's ecology, sowhat similar to scavengers. Therefore, even though their starting point was higher than that of other ecosystems' bottom-level lifeforms, possessing the potential for Silver Spirituality, they wouldn't actively attack other creatures.
It wasn't that they were docile, but simply that they lacked sufficient combat power, making them one of the best nu items for Void Demonic Beasts!
After all, in the Wilds, being injured was equivalent to death!
Prey that can't get injured is good prey!
Fortunately, because the Void was too vast for a food chain to form, the coral polyps had enough ti for procreation, giving rise to enormous coral reefs that gathered together, shimring with multicolored halos.
Most of them were purple, and from a distance, they looked like a resplendent dragon palace from mythology.
Thus, they were also called one of the most beautiful ecosystems in the Void by adventurers!
However, for adventurers who risked their lives to venture deep into the dangerous Void, it was naturally not to admire the scenery, but because this "beauty" contained a great deal of wealth!
Void Coral itself was a treasure born from the supernatural workmanship of Great Nature. It was a top-tier craftwork, and many wealthy magnates were willing to collect it and show it to their friends to display their strength and foundation.
This coral reef alone could make Lu Yu a fortune!
However, the reason Lu Yu was excited was not because of the Void Coral, but because he saw a special creature inside, shuttling through it as if through a forest of spears and rain of bullets.
They only paused for a mont when preying.
It was a creature whose appearance resembled a combination of a Manta Ray and a Horseshoe Crab. Its body was ladle-shaped, divided into a head-thorax, abdon, and tail.
It was crescent-shaped with six pairs of appendages on its underside. It had a visible purple carapace with three longitudinal ridges, two pairs of compound eyes on top, huge fins similar to a Manta Ray's on the sides, and a sword-shaped tail!
They were surrounded by a darkish Void Spiritual Energy, constantly shuttling through the Void Coral Colony.
After finding a hidden coral polyp, they would seize it with their iron-hoop-like appendages and deliver it to their fang-filled mouths.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
These thumb-sized insects, similar in color to the coral, struggled desperately, but were easily bitten.
With a little force, their bodies were pierced, chewed into dregs, and swallowed.
During this chewing process, the Void Spiritual Energy on these special demonic beasts grew darker in color.
Finally, a black liquid was secreted from their bodies and dripped onto the coral reef below.
Drip!
The Void Coral Colony and the Void Spiritual Energy underwent so mysterious change, beginning to rge and converge, as if they were nurturing sothing.
"The legend of the Void Fish is actually true!"
Lu Yu looked pleasantly surprised.
According to legend, after finding an environnt with abundant Void Energy, the Void Coral Polyps would multiply in large numbers, and the coral reef would begin to expand rapidly.
In this process, a large amount of pure spirituality would be born, causing the coral reef to undergo a tamorphosis, with a certain probability of giving birth to a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure called 【Space Crystal Coral】.
It could be made into a special space storage secret treasure, which was expensive, or into a magic potion that could raise the potential of a pet beast below Monarch Rank by one tier.
In other words, after a creature with Commander Potential consud it, it would directly obtain Overlord Potential.
Limited to Space-type!
Swallowing it could give birth to a special evolved form among the Void Coral Polyps—the Coral King Insect!
Its specific strength would be determined by the size of its Coral Colony, but at the very least, it would reach the Spirituality Transformation level.
A stronger one might even directly enter the Mother River, perform a ritual, and beco a Morning Star Overlord!
After a successful promotion, the Coral King Insect would directly beco a powerful demonic beast of the Beast King System. It would secrete a special mucus, and the entire coral colony would beco its shell.
It would beco an alternative Coral Giant, roaming the Void, preying on other life, transforming from prey to hunter!
As for why the Void Fish were related to this, it was because this special school of fish from the depths of the Void could purify their own Spiritual Energy by devouring them, and expel their own impurities along with a special fish oil.
This fish oil was a potent poison to living beings, but unexpectedly, it could actually cause the Void Coral to undergo a directed mutation.
Once, an adventurer accidentally witnessed a Void Coral Colony being attacked by a school of Void Fish during its tamorphosis.
Facing these natural enemies, the Void Coral Polyps naturally had no power to resist.
After being devoured, a large amount of fish oil dripped onto the coral colony, unexpectedly giving birth to a special coral with dark purple skin.
As a result of encountering a Void Storm, this thing accidentally fell into the adventurer's hands.
After returning to the Main World, he discovered that it contained an unimaginable amount of activity. Coincidentally, he also had a Space-type pet beast, and after trying to consu it, he unexpectedly obtained a new ability!
The super-tier skill known as the Child of the Void…
Void Skin!
These two races, like natural enemies, had instead nurtured a secret treasure that could grant a boon from the Void through the slaughter of the weak are prey to the strong.
It made one sigh at the cruelty of the Will of the Void!
This allowed the Beast Tar's strength to skyrocket. He successfully advanced to the Luminous Moon rank and beca a top-tier powerhouse, causing a sensation at the ti.
However, the related records were from hundreds of years ago, and there were no other cases. Moreover, the tamorphosis of the coral polyps was very fast, ending in just a few days.
The chances of encountering a sufficient number of Void Fish during this period were harder than winning the lottery.
Since then, no one had ever obtained this special coral again.
As for artificial cultivation… it would also be affected by so unknown force and had never succeeded. Therefore, many people doubted its authenticity.
They believed it was just a joke by the Will of the Void.
So, it was called the 【Blessing Coral】 and listed as one of the Ten Great Legends of the Void!
To think that he would actually encounter it this ti!
"Wait, I almost forgot sothing!"
Lu Yu quickly cald down, the surprise in his heart receding like a tide as he realized sothing.
He currently had the 【Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined】 buff, which ant that the greater the good fortune he encountered, the greater the misfortune he was likely to encounter.
But what was the misfortune?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu continued to play the video.
He could see that the Flicker Spiders had already sensed the danger and were preparing to retreat.
However, in the next mont, from this Flicker Spider's perspective, a huge Abyss of Dark Void suddenly descended on the location of its companions, instantly grinding two Flicker Spiders into dregs!
The one that fild the video dodged in ti, but it was also affected and was instantly seriously injured, dragging its heavily wounded body as it continued to jump.
"Didn't get a clear look?"
Lu Yu frowned slightly. He looked at the seriously injured Flicker Spider, gave it a piece of Life Honey, and sent it back to the Withered Insect Spirit Wood in the Matriarch's Nest to recuperate.
These were fed with money; losing one was a loss!
Then he pulled up the other videos and compared them repeatedly, finally seeing the true appearance of that mysterious fellow from one angle.
A giant Void Fish was hidden deep within the Void Coral, surrounded by a large number of Void Fish.
Its appearance was different from an ordinary Void Fish. It was a full ten ters long, not purple, but entirely black, with a ferocious face.
It had several pairs of compound eyes on its body, constantly rotating to look in all directions. Three fleshy tumors bulged from its forehead, piled together to form the shape of a crown.
The aura on its body was terrifying, having already surpassed Spirituality Transformation. It was a true Morning Star Rank Demonic Beast!
It had used an appendage to impale the coral polyp leader.
After devouring it, a steady stream of black fish oil exuding a weirdness aura flowed from its body, forcibly transforming this coral area.
With it as the center, the area was gradually turning into a pitch-black swamp at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the video, its compound eyes suddenly contracted, instantly locking onto the positions of several Flicker Spiders. Its six appendages waved, directly tearing open several hundred-ter-long Void Fissures that resembled ocean trenches.
Top-tier high-rank Void-type skill—Void Gap Slash!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Wherever it passed, all matter was ground into dregs. A Commander Rank Flicker Spider was nothing but an ant before it, with no power to resist at all!
All creatures that approached its territory were rcilessly annihilated by it!
After doing all this, it continued to gnaw on the Void Coral Polyps while looking at the coral reef beneath its feet with a greedy gaze.
"A Void Fish Overlord!"
Lu Yu looked surprised. He didn't expect to run into an Overlord Rank demonic beast.
From its previous attack, it was clear that this fellow was not only powerful, but its perception was also extrely terrifying. Coupled with the school of fish, it could even carry out a multi-directional siege, a true BOSS-level existence!
The difficulty of snatching food from the tiger's mouth was extrely high!
If it were the Lu Yu who had just entered the Gold rank, he would have turned and left imdiately upon encountering this fellow.
But now that his strength had greatly increased, he was a little unwilling to just leave like this.
After all, once he obtained the Void Skin, although it wouldn't be enough to let Little Spider turn the Void World into her backyard garden, it would allow her to travel through most places unimpeded!
Both her combat power and escape ability would be greatly enhanced!
Therefore, Lu Yu quickly made a decision!
Get closer and use the Eye of Truth to check the situation!
If he wasn't confident, he would turn and leave.
If there wasn't a 100% chance of success, what was the difference from a suicide mission!
So, he had Little Mouse spread a Shadow Curtain to block their auras, and then had Little Spider pilot the Void Matriarch's Nest to quietly approach the Void Coral Colony.
Following the route explored by the Flicker Spiders, they arrived at a safe location without any trouble.
Looking up, they could see the huge Void Coral Colony.
It grew on a vast Void Nebula, refracting the flowing light of the Void.
It was even more beautiful than in the video, like a land of dreams.
It was just that this perfect scene had been destroyed by a group of invaders who were constantly gnawing on the natives.
After a large amount of coral was stained with this black fish oil, it began to lt and gradually converge. The Void Spiritual Energy beca increasingly vast, as if it were nurturing sothing.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the 【Boon Coral】!
Lu Yu's Eye of Truth activated. After a glance, he stood stunned on the spot, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"I have a way!"
Lu Yu then told his plan to Little Spider and Little Mouse.
"Ying!"
Little Spider nodded seriously.
She would unconditionally support anything her Master wanted to do!
The path it pursued was to shelter its Master from wind and rain!
"Gulp!"
After Little Mouse heard it, it had a look of terror on its face. It glanced at the Void Coral Colony and swallowed,
Cultivator, you are truly audacious enough to cover the sky!
Lu Yu didn't say anything.
Instead, he began to regulate his ntal energy, bringing his state to its peak. He calculated all possible situations in his mind while waiting for the secret treasure to appear.
After waiting for about five hours, all the Void Coral Polyps had been completely devoured. The schools of Void Fish had also expelled a large amount of fish oil, completely lting the entire Void Coral into a pool of dark purple liquid that floated above the huge Void Nebula.
Boom!
As a vast amount of Void Spirituality gathered, its form began to slowly change, gradually compressing into a sphere the height of a person, and then changing further, taking the shape of a coral.
Hum!
The mont it ford, the 【Boon Coral】 blood with a dark radiance, turning into an aura that spread out, sweeping across a thousand miles.
If this were in the Main World, it would definitely cause a sensation and attract countless powerhouses to fight for it!
But in the dead and vast Void, it was like a silent fireworks show, completely quiet!
"Roar!"
When the large number of Void Fish saw this scene, an instinctive greed appeared in their compound eyes. However, a roar from the Void Fish Overlord startled them all, scaring them into retreating so distance.
Wild demonic beasts were even more class-conscious than civilized society!
The Void Fish Overlord was quite satisfied with this. Its huge body slowly leaned forward.
It could feel that this thing would be of great benefit to it!
However, just as it was about to make contact, a voice sounded:
"Excuse , I've taken a fancy to this thing!"
The words were calm, but they were accompanied by the frequent background music of a wooden fish being struck. It swept over with a soul fluctuation, and caught off guard, even the Void Fish Overlord fell into a brief daze.
Strike while it's weak!
"Void Dragon Lance!"
Boom!
A Void Fissure suddenly split open above the Void Fish Overlord's head. A large amount of spider silk, woven from a large number of corroded and transford stones, intertwined to form a super-giant dragon lance that pierced through!
It accurately hit the Void Fish Overlord, instantly shattering a large amount of its carapace and scales, but it didn't pierce through.
It only knocked it back, splashing so dark purple blood mixed with black fish oil.
Lu Yu, who had appeared beside the 【Boon Coral】, couldn't help but exclaim in amazent when he saw this scene:
"As expected of an Overlord Creature, it's so tough!"
If it had been an ordinary Spirituality Transformation lifeform, it would have been long dead from such a sneak attack.
But for the Void Fish Overlord, it was only a light injury, not even a serious one.
This was the strongest opponent he had ever faced head-on!
As for The Proliferating Green Dragon… wasn't that the one he had easily beaten up after he had wrested control of the Mystic Realm?
However, this thought only flashed through Lu Yu's mind.
He reached out, preparing to take the 【Boon Coral】.
"Roar!"
However, the Void Fish Overlord had also reacted by now.
Its nurous compound eyes swiveled, feeling the intense pain from its shattered body. Its gaze grew colder.
It was going to eat this guy!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Void Fish Overlord suddenly waved its six appendages. Black Void Spiritual Energy gathered, tearing out several 【Void Gap Slashes】 to strangle Lu Yu and the others!
However, before it could act, a Void Fish suddenly rushed over and self-destructed near the wound!
Rumble!
Following a loud bang, a chunk of flesh and blood was blasted off the Void Fish Overlord, causing it to let out a muffled grunt!
"Explosion, that is an art!"
The main culprit behind all this was naturally Little Mouse.
It was sitting upright on its Soul Cloud, with six Wooden Fish condensed behind it like six great drums, being continuously struck by six Thousand-Faced Tentacles, like a lofty god looking down on the mortal world.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The vibrating sounds overlapped, turning into a terrifying ntal shock that constantly interfered with the opponent's actions.
At the sa ti, the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree condensed and intertwined behind it, forming a Wooden Wheel Crown.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
【Seeds of Conversion】 continuously condensed on it and were fired through the Ghost Shattering Star Cannon, hitting one small Void Fish after another, forcibly converting them!
These schools of fish at Peak Commander strength couldn't withstand the soul power contained within at all and instantly beca Little Mouse's loyal servants.
They were wrested away on the spot!
Seeing this, Little Mouse gave a smile as if twirling a flower, and then said:
"Minions, bomb it to death!"
A large number of fish were forcibly controlled, gathering together to continue bombing the Void Fish Overlord.
Crack!
With a casual wave of its hand, the Void Fish Overlord slashed down with a black Void Fissure like a greatsword, tearing them to shreds!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, scattering into the Void Turbulence and being completely annihilated, not even bones remained!
The Void Fish Overlord was even more decisive than they had imagined.
Even against its own kind, it showed no rcy. To be safe, it even slaughtered the Void Fish that hadn't been converted.
Only a few lucky ones escaped, but they didn't dare to stay, fleeing in all directions in fear.
"So ruthless!"
Seeing this scene, Little Mouse was also stunned by the other party's ruthless thods.
When it noticed the other's compound eyes were fixed on it, it imdiately felt a chill down its spine and instantly consud hundreds of thoughts to deploy the Thousand Faces Shield!
Boom!
A 【Void Gap Slash】 instantly swept over and hit the Thousand Faces Shield, shattering it with the force of smashing dry weeds, turning it into scattered specks of spiritual energy light!
"Thousand-Faced Soul Tree!"
Fortunately, Little Mouse had the rootlets of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree intertwine in ti to hold it off, buying it an extra second. Its figure quickly retreated, but the next Void Gap Slash swept over.
Unlike Spirituality Transformation, a Morning Star Rank demonic beast's spiritual energy was imnse. Its previous ultimate move was now equivalent to a normal attack!
No rest was needed at all!
Facing this fatal blow, it was fortunate that Little Mouse's powerful perception ca into play, allowing it to dodge in ti and avoid being split in two.
But because its body was enlarged, it grazed its scalp, and a large amount of yellow fur fell!
I shouldn't have gotten so big, my skull almost got cracked open!
Little Mouse quickly shrank back to its original size. Looking at the Void Fish Overlord rushing over like a cannonball, it got the vibe of an impending real-life confrontation!
Little Mouse was also provoked.
If this mouse doesn't show its might, do you really think it's a vegetarian!
So it decisively shouted:
"Sister Spider, save !"
Little Mouse's ultimate move—Call for Backup!
"Ying!"
Little Spider stretched out its hand, spreading a Void Force Field that directly enveloped the Void Fish Overlord, forcibly weakening the Void Energy around it and obstructing its advance.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the sa ti, a large amount of spider silk spread out, falling like raindrops.
It instantly bound and bundled it into a ball, then suddenly tightened!
Thread Technique—Spider Silk Funeral!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
However, in the next mont, a large amount of spider silk instantly snapped. The Void Fish Overlord broke free in an instant.
Seeing this, Little Spider's fingers gently caressed the Void, like an excellent musician performing on a grand stage.
The spider silk was the musical note in its hand.
It changed rapidly, intertwining to form spider nest-like webs, continuously weaving together, layer upon layer, into a multi-reinforced cage!
Even if the Void Fish Overlord used Void Gap Slash again and instantly cut a gap in it, the next mont, a large amount of spider silk would stick together again.
Thread Technique—Thousand Silk Prison!
The na implied thousands of strands, inseparably connected.
It didn't continue to strengthen toughness, but rather deepened stickiness, so even if it was destroyed, it could be quickly repaired to interfere with the opponent's actions!
These spider silks attached further, beginning to corrode the vitality within its body, wanting to transform its flesh and blood into spider silk as well!
"Roar!"
The Void Fish Overlord wasn't angry. A vast Overlord's Overwhelming Pressure swept out from its body, capable of easily suppressing creatures weaker than it.
But unfortunately, both Little Mouse and Little Spider were Monarch Cubs and were not affected much!
At this mont, Lu Yu had also touched the 【Boon Coral】, but he wasn't in a hurry to put it into his Void Treasure Chest.
Hiss hiss!
This scene made its many compound eyes pause slightly, but it wasn't worried.
In the face of absolute strength, these ants were destined to die.
Thus, its body began to continuously seep black fish oil, protecting it with its life as if absorbing water, constantly corroding and dissolving the spider silk, tearing the restraints bit by bit, and fusing with the vast Overlord-rank Void Energy, transforming into a terrifying shadow that was reflected behind it, turning the surrounding environnt into a Dark Void Lake!
Its huge body was held up by the lake.
The emotion in its compound eyes was cold as it looked down on them. It slowly raised its six appendages, condensed six Void Gap Slashes that intertwined, and with a bang, they instantly shattered, turning into countless tiny Dinsional Blades that swept out like a storm!
Combination Skill—Dinsional Void-rending Slash!
Once it fell, it was enough to shred everything within the several-thousand-ter range where Lu Yu was, turning it into fine powder that scattered!
Powerful strength was its confidence!
Enough to set things right!
In its eyes, Lu Yu's actions were nothing more than a deathbed struggle!
And in this Void, nothing could escape its hunt!
"As expected of an Overlord Monster, its oppressive aura is truly imnse!"
Lu Yu looked at the incoming combination skill and could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within.
Even if Little Spider entered her Spirit Corrosion Form and worked together with Little Mouse, they could only barely block it!
But that outco would likely lead to exhaustion, making them unable to contend with the Void Fish that was about to break free from the spider silk's restraints.
As they were both Void-type pet beasts, they couldn't escape with teleportation.
They would definitely be hunted to death!
"But unfortunately… you're not qualified to be my disaster!"
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth curled up. He said to Little Mouse beside him:
"Let it see what it ans to be fickle and powerful, and co witness…"
"A true disaster!"
The mont his voice fell, a large number of Thousand-Faced Soul Tree Rootlets in front of Lu Yu intertwined, forming a giant loudspeaker.
But it wasn't aid at the Void Fish Overlord, but at the huge Void Cloud Cluster that the Void Coral Polyps had treated as "fertile black earth."
Little Mouse also beca a little nervous.
Its heart was thumping, and it took a deep breath and shouted with all its might:
"Wake up!"
As a strong ntal fluctuation swept out, hundreds of huge eyes suddenly opened in the nebula beneath their feet. They were filled with chaos and tyranny, constantly rotating, and finally fixed on them…
The true disaster of 【Fortune and Misfortune are Intertwined】,
had arrived!
