They were words that could easily be misunderstood, yet this ti, no one laughed or scorned him. They didn't even have the thought to look at him.
Because their attention was completely captivated by the figure in the sky.
The mystic realm's sky was originally a vast azure, but at this mont, it had turned a shade of blood.
Or rather… it was covered by a pair of enormous wings.
They were densely covered in blood-colored dragon scales that radiated a bloody spiritual energy, dyeing the sky of the Second Layer of the Mystic Realm.
The owner of the wings was perched on the barrier of the second layer. Its head slowly drew near, its massive body exuding a terrifying Oppressive Aura.
What was most shocking was that when its head appeared, it looked exactly like the Guide Bird.
No, not exactly the sa.
Its gaze was more majestic, its eyes more ferocious. Paired with this size, it wasn't so much a Guide Bird as…
A Dragonhawk!
A legendary, terrifying creature whose outstretched wings could blot out the sun and sky.
Even the Overlord Monsters on the ground were nothing more than food to it!
"Could that be Lu Yu's Guide Bird!?"
The twenty-one people, including Qi Yun, were all dumbfounded, having finally understood.
This wasn't the ancient ruins bugging out and making Lu Yu's Guide Bird disappear.
It was clearly because there was too much red mist, which had directly condensed into a giant Dragonhawk.
The Second Layer of the Mystic Realm simply couldn't fit it, so it had been repelled outside the mystic realm.
But now, it was back!
"Scree!"
Upon seeing Lu Yu, the Dragonhawk revealed a hint of human-like, pleasant surprise. Its massive Dragon Claw gripped the barrier of the Second Layer of the Mystic Realm, and with a slight exertion of force, countless cracks appeared.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
At this mont, the entire mystic realm space emitted a sound of being overwheld, and a look of terror appeared on everyone's face.
"Could it be…"
Bang!
The barrier of the mystic realm's second layer shattered with a boom.
A massive Dragon Claw descended like a Heavenly Pillar, stomping onto the ground.
Boom!
The earth shattered, and the Aftermath of terrifying spiritual energy was unleashed, directly destroying more than half of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Tree Forest.
The remaining frightened Bloodthirsty Dragon Trees hurriedly pulled their Rootlets from the ground and began to flee in all directions.
So of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Trees even got their Rootlets tangled, yet they still had to hop and jump desperately to escape, looking quite comical.
The terrifyingly dangerous area that Qi Yun and the others had carefully spent twenty Revival Coins to avoid was, in front of this giant Dragonhawk, nothing more than an ant that could be accidentally crushed.
Such a massive disparity left everyone with an indescribable feeling.
Ours are Guide Birds, but you get a Bodyguard Hawk?
And what shocked them even more was…
The strength displayed by this Dragonhawk seed to have already surpassed Spirituality Transformation, possessing a power comparable to the Overlord Rank.
And because it was condensed by the ancient ruins themselves, it didn't count as a violation of the Rules.
Had Lu Yu hollowed out the entire operational core of the Dragon Mystic Realm?
'What a big bird…'
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, concealing the shock within them. He had previously thought it was because of his Fate's Protection skill that the Guide Bird couldn't pinpoint his location, but on second thought, that wasn't right.
Because this fellow had been calling out to him from the very beginning, which ant it could see him. Only then did he finally understand…
It wasn't inside the mystic realm at all, but outside!
As soon as he looked up, he saw that giant Dragonhawk, blotting out the sun and sky.
And upon its appearance, it had helped him pass the second trial in an extrely wild manner.
Fly through it ×
Crush the Second Layer of the Mystic Realm √
How domineering, but I like it!
However, before Lu Yu could react, he was suddenly swept up by a gale and brought onto the Dragonhawk's back.
It gave him no chance to negotiate, forcibly loading him on.
Lu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking ?"
The Dragonhawk didn't answer, its expression cold and aloof, looking every bit the part of a domineering CEO of the bird world!
"Scree!"
With a sky-shattering cry, the Dragonhawk flapped its wings and took flight, whipping up a gale that swept across the land.
It carried Lu Yu as it directly tore through the top of the Second Layer of the Mystic Realm, quickly disappearing from sight.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The mont it left, Void Turbulence surged out from the torn opening and began to destroy the Second Layer of the Mystic Realm.
Wherever it passed, all matter was annihilated.
"Run!"
Qi Yun, who had been in a daze, suddenly snapped back to his senses.
He shouted and turned to run.
The others also reacted, scrambling away in a sorry state and diving into the gateway.
What was supposed to be a level-clearing ga had turned into a battle royale. They were painstakingly running from the zone, but as for Lu Yu…
He was playing Thunder Fighter (Fling's Invincible Mod)!
The crowd rushed into the nearby Mystic Realm Gate and arrived at the Third Layer.
This layer was an Ice Plain, which also had challenge levels set up. They were even more difficult, requiring combat to break through.
Although Lu Yu didn't appear here, he had left behind his legend.
Because this layer had also been struck by the giant Dragonhawk's brutal passage, creating a rift.
The earth quaked, and a large number of icebergs collapsed and shattered.
Although it wasn't as severe as the second layer, Void Turbulence had begun to spread, causing the original trial creatures to start fleeing in terror.
Everything had descended into chaos.
"That guy really knows how to cause a ruckus!"
Everyone stared blankly, understanding that Lu Yu was about to skip two levels and head straight for the final layer!
He's cheating!
However, they had no ti for envy.
The Void Turbulence was still spreading, and if this continued, they would be torn to shreds by the Spatial Storm before the mystic realm could repair itself.
Fortunately, Qi Yun soon discovered that the Third Layer of the Mystic Realm had an option for everyone to leave, so most people were inclined to retreat.
After all, two layers of the mystic realm had already been smashed by the Dragonhawk Lu Yu summoned. The subsequent trials would be chaotic and potentially life-threatening.
Making it to the Third Layer had already far exceeded their imaginations. Most of them had barely passed the first trial to begin with, so getting this far was already an excellent adventure experience where they had learned a lot.
For example…
Don't venture into a mystic realm with a Cheating Player. There's absolutely no ga experience to be had!
"To stop here… how is that possible!?"
Qi Yun looked at the chaotic scene on the Third Layer's Ice Plain, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.
He made his choice with his actions.
While the rest of the Alliance mbers were still reacting, he drove his Iron House Snail straight into the chaos, preparing to enter the Fourth Layer of the Mystic Realm amidst the turmoil.
That was the most important Core Area, a place generally used for nurturing pet beasts.
Qi Yun was taking a gamble.
He was betting that the Fourth Layer wouldn't be so easily torn apart, that there would be an option to return inside, and that as long as he entered, he would see a brand-new ecosystem, a rare Dragon-type cultivation ecological chain, and a vast amount of Ancient Knowledge.
Especially the last one.
Nothing could attract a Researcher more than that!
To die on the path of pursuing Knowledge would also be a kind of happiness!
At this thought, Qi Yun's smile grew even more crazed.
"Has that guy lost his mind?"
A group of people stared dumbfounded at the back of the vehicle, not expecting there to be a Lunatic in addition to the cheater, Lu Yu.
But they had no ti to worry about others. Even the people from the Alliance, faced with the threat of death, could only turn into white light one by one and return to the Main World.
anwhile, the Morning Star Beast Tars outside were also waiting anxiously.
Ma Yan's chanical Eye being able to broadcast the first layer was already its limit.
It couldn't enter the second or third layers at all, so he simply withdrew it.
Because it was an unknown, they were even more curious.
How would these people inside perform? Would Lu Yu pull off so earth-shattering move?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Suddenly, flashes of white light flickered, and a large number of trial-takers appeared, the lingering fear still on their faces. Upon seeing the outside world, they couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
They made it out alive!
This reaction made the hearts of the four Morning Star Beast Tars clench.
Didn't the first layer just end? Why were so many people being teleported out at the sa ti?
Could it be that so unknown change had occurred on the second layer?
Where were Lu Yu and Qi Yun?
People kept erging from the white lights until it finally stopped, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.
Luo Zisong beca anxious and quickly asked:
"What happened? How are Lu Yu and Qi Yun?"
Hearing this, the others looked at each other with strange expressions. They couldn't just say… they were teleported out because they were caught in the crossfire of a cheater, could they?
That would be the ultimate Social Death!
But this silent reaction made the hearts of the few Beast Tars sink.
Could it be that sothing had happened to them?
If that were really the case, Luo Zisong made up his mind. He would risk his old life to get those two brats out.
'It's just a small mystic realm. It's not like I haven't smashed one before…'
A wave of heroic spirit surged in Luo Zisong's heart.
He prepared to understand the situation before taking action.
Soon, they learned that Lu Yu hadn't been able to summon his Guide Bird at first, while Qi Yun had perfectly passed through the terrifying Bloodthirsty Dragon Trees by organizing the power of the masses.
Hearing this, the four Morning Star Beast Tars nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with Qi Yun's performance. He was brave and resourceful, a true leader.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, was as unlucky as ever, getting caught by a bug in the mystic realm again.
But… hadn't so many people passed the second layer? Why did they all co out at the sa ti?
Was it because the third layer was too difficult? Or did Lu Yu discover the rules of the second layer and trigger a Mutation?
However, the answer that followed left everyone stunned.
Although Lu Yu didn't have a Guide Bird, he had summoned a giant Dragonhawk comparable to an Overlord, which crushed the entire Bloodthirsty Dragon Tree Forest with one claw and even tore through the second and third layers of the mystic realm, causing mass chaos.
As for Qi Yun, he took advantage of the chaos to rush to the Fourth Layer, his fate unknown.
Guan Xiangping was also shocked. He had thought reaching the third layer would be the limit, but he never expected this person to jump two levels and go straight to the Fourth Layer of the Mystic Realm.
Straight to the Land of Inheritance!
What kind of monsters are these young people nowadays!
Although he had guessed he would lose the bet, he had lost far too quickly.
Hearing this, the others also knew that Lu Yu was about to conquer the mystic realm!
At this thought, the others felt as sour as if they were eating a lemon, wishing they could be in his place.
…………………………
On the other side, Lu Yu rode on the back of the Dragonhawk, traveling all the way to the Fourth Layer of the Mystic Realm.
Here, there were no powerful Sub-dragons as he had imagined, nor any mysterious inheritance from an ancient Beast Tar.
There weren't even any books or treasures.
There was…
Only a Sea of Blood.
The edge of the Sea of Blood was a ring-shaped landmass inhabited by a large number of Dragon Blood Lifeform groups. The weakest among them were Commander Rank creatures, which were the target for most of the trial-takers this ti.
If they could subdue one, it would be enough to greatly increase their Combat Power.
Crack! Crack!
As Lu Yu was pondering, he saw a rhinoceros-like Dragon Blood Lifeform suddenly stiffen after drinking water from the Sea of Blood.
Its body began to tremble nonstop, and soon, a new blood-colored tentacle forcibly pushed open a gap in its armor and grew out. At the sa ti, its draconic features beca more pronounced.
Its Dragon Blood Concentration had visibly increased.
It was sowhat similar to the legendary Dragon Transformation Pond!
However, not all Dragon Blood Lifeforms could continue to evolve indefinitely.
So creatures, after drinking a large amount of water from the Sea of Blood, couldn't withstand the changes and twisted into masses of flesh covered in tentacles. They were quickly devoured by the other Dragon Blood Lifeforms.
During the process of tearing and biting, a large amount of Fresh Blood flowed into the Sea of Blood. These Dragon Blood Lifeforms, precious in the outside world, were re consumables here.
The entire Fourth Layer of the Mystic Realm was filled with a primitive savagery and cruelty!
'Is this Sea of Blood the source of the Dragon Mystic Realm?'
Lu Yu was shocked. As the Dragonhawk flew on, he soon arrived at the center of the Sea of Blood and saw a Crimson Altar standing there.
Atop the altar was a bizarre Dragon-shaped Statue. It had seven heads intertwined in a spiral, three pairs of blood-red wings wrapped around its body, and its form was covered in mysterious eye patterns, making it look both mysterious and majestic.
The Dragonhawk slowly landed on the altar and lowered its body.
Lu Yu didn't rush down.
The Eye of Truth quietly activated, but all the information before him was chaotic. The cost in Spirituality was terrifyingly high; even draining him completely wouldn't be enough.
The feeling was even more terrifying than the first ti he'd encountered the Soul-Snatching Demonic Cloud.
The waters of this mystic realm were indeed deep.
But having co this far, there was no way he could retreat. After ensuring there were no traps, Lu Yu cautiously stepped onto the altar.
There was no special reaction.
He observed curiously and found that there were many patterns carved on the ground, similar to cave murals.
The general aning was a group of small figures worshipping the dragon on the statue.
And the dragon, in turn, gave them sanctuary, forming a special symbiotic relationship.
"Worshipping?"
Lu Yu wasn't surprised by this. In true history, although humans had awakened the Beast Taming Space, their power couldn't have skyrocketed instantly.
They were still extrely weak against the threat of demonic beasts.
To survive, so tribes chose to coexist with powerful creatures and worship them, reverently calling them…
Guardian Deities.
By contracting Dragon Attribute Slave Beasts born from the transford power of the Guardian Deity, they rapidly gained great strength and even had the potential to evolve.
In return, they would offer their faith and collect large quantities of rare Secret Treasures or Sacrificial Offerings for the Guardian Deity.
Even today, so places have preserved this tradition. For example, Deep Sea Town is a coastal town bound by blood ties and is extrely exclusive.
They worship a powerful being that has lived in the sea for thousands of years. When mbers of their organization co of age, they can contract Water-type Slave Beasts.
After many years of developnt, they have both strength and numbers. They now occupy a part of the islands and sea routes, and one must pay protection fees to pass through.
Their power is extrely strong.
In addition, there are so certified churches and so on that also borrow the power of Ancient Existences and deities.
The most famous example is the Pure White Church, which has mastered the ability to communicate with the Pure White Heaven and can contract angels and celestial creatures.
But as long as they didn't use humans as blood sacrifices, the Alliance wouldn't interfere.
On the contrary, they were keen on having humans establish friendly relations with these powerful beings.
Making more friends and fewer enemies was a way to strengthen the Human Race.
"I never thought that there used to be a large human settlent near the Borderlands that worshipped a Dragon Guardian Deity. But logically speaking, these Beast Tars who command Dragon Beasts should have so ability to resist even a Disaster.
They had every opportunity to build a city, dominate a region, and be like the other great domains. But why did they leave no trace behind and disappear so quietly? Could it be that sothing happened to their Guardian Deity…"
Lu Yu was puzzled.
He continued to look at the patterns. In them, the descent of a seven-headed, hundred-eyed Dragon-shaped Guardian Deity was depicted.
Beside it were so ancient pictographs, but they could be translated with the Eye of Truth.
It was called the—Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King!
In these descriptions, She was benevolent and great.
Lu Yu skipped over such nonsense, which was like saying a Capitalist was kind-hearted.
In the following patterns, a crimson brilliance would often flash, and a large number of simple, Q-version pet beasts would undergo Aberration, developing draconic features and red tentacles.
Then, they would form contracts with people, gaining great power to open up the Wilderness, drive out demonic beasts, and live prosperous lives…
"Truly a Soul Painter…"
Lu Yu couldn't help but complain before continuing to look. The confusion in his heart deepened.
The picture presented up to this point was quite good, but why did this settlent suddenly disappear?
Soon, Lu Yu found the answer. It was because of the arrival of a foreign enemy.
A large number of dark, twisted creatures attacked. The source was depicted as an orange-dark sun, which made his gaze freeze.
One had to know that he himself was a victim of the Taboo Sun. The Taboo Cursed Seal still remained deep within his soul, and if it weren't for the legendary skill suppressing it, he would still be suffering greatly.
He knew better than anyone what terrifying secrets were hidden within the sun.
Could it be that they were also destroyed by the Taboo Sun?
Lu Yu grew tense, but after reading on, he beca even more confused.
Because according to the aning depicted in the carvings, not only did nine suns not appear, but the images frequently pointed to orange-yellow, the sun, and darkness. It was more like…
Dusk!
"A Deity related to dusk and the sun? Could it be that famous Anti-Vice Squad [Mother of Dusk]?"
Lu Yu had morized many of the Orders on the Alliance's wanted list, so he quickly made a connection.
However, he couldn't be certain, as there were many Ancient Existences with similar Authority.
Soon, the patterns began to turn scarlet.
With the appearance of this Deity, a large number of demonic beasts were born from the shadows under the dusk and began to slaughter and attack the human settlent. They began to fight back, relying on the combined power of all the powerful creatures they could communicate with across the land, barely managing to turn the tide.
Normally, an Evil God's invasion is a casual act. Mortals are nothing but ants to Them, not worth Their attention.
Therefore, cleaning up the first wave of invading Servitors would an it's over.
But there was sothing on this land that this Deity desperately desired.
Not only did it not stop, but it spread even more Servitors to attack. In the end, corpses littered the fields, and nine out of ten hos in the villages were empty.
The patterns beca desolate. All life on the land withered, and even the sloppy art style couldn't stop the pervasive sense of death.
It was as if all things were entering dusk, and The End was arriving.
Just as this Deity sent down its Incarnation to reap the fruits of victory, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King suddenly struck.
It was unknown whether it was out of love for all living things and an inability to bear their slaughter, or anger at its territory being invaded…
With a powerful, mutually destructive attack, it repelled the Deity's Incarnation. Its hundreds of eyes opened in unison, shattering the heavens and shaking the earth.
In the end, it forcibly tore off a part of the Deity's body, which fell upon this land.
The disaster finally ended, and the Crimson Dragon King fell with it.
The patterns ended abruptly here, as if drawing a final period to this disaster.
Seeing this, Lu Yu was shocked, but another thought ca to mind.
And that was…
Did this an he had a chance to obtain the bodies of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King and The Supre One?
Seven-star! Or even…
Eight-Star Material
