Chapter 114 Mythological Material! Lord of the Secret Realm! Lu Yu is cheating again! (Seeking monthly votes)
This was not just Lu Yu's wild idea, because according to the analysis of existing information, there are still people who survived in this settlement.
Otherwise, how could this secret realm and the content of these murals have been passed down?
This ancient beast tamer is very likely the survivor of this settlement, or even the only survivor.
After all, if there were more people, they would have already led the remaining people to open up new villages and multiply. Why would they open up a secret realm for someone destined to be there before they die?
It's hard to say whether it's part of the body of a deity's avatar, since the flesh and blood of a higher dimension is itself the greatest mystery, and it can even corrode the surrounding environment, turning it into a forbidden zone for life.
However, in all the years since the establishment of Dayuan City, there has never been any rumor of the remnants of the Twilight God appearing. Perhaps they are sealed away, or perhaps they were taken back by that god long ago.
"That's a bit difficult to estimate, but the remains of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King should offer a chance..."
The more Lu Yu analyzed, the brighter his eyes became.
Logically, even if the final victor is Pyrrhic, they would still try to collect the bodies.
The sea of blood before us, far surpassing even the Morning Star Realm, and the fact that the Eye of Truth cannot detect it, already speaks volumes.
The Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King was able to fight against a divine incarnation, so even if he wasn't a True King, he should be close to it.
All of them are at least six-star level or higher materials.
If you can obtain it and combine it with suitable materials to create a secret food, it's enough to give a dragon-type pet the potential to surpass a pureblood dragon and rival an ancient dragon.
Make a pact with a future ancient dragon, or even a mythical dragon!
You should know that every pureblood dragon symbolizes that it will definitely step into the Moonlit Realm in the future, let alone an ancient dragon!
That would inevitably make them the master of the ecosystem, and there's even a high probability they would become the king, standing at the pinnacle of humanity.
Thinking about this future filled Lu Yu with excitement.
However, he was not blinded by greed, because obtaining it would be no easy feat.
After all, countless terrifying dragons and beasts have been born in the water over the long years. Not to mention the commander level, it is not impossible for them to be monsters at the level of spiritual transformation. There is only one outcome if you rashly go into the water...
That means they were completely devoured.
The only way is to pass the test of the fourth level of the secret realm and become the master of the secret realm.
There are no other mechanisms around the altar, only some pictures recording history, so the test may lie in the statue in front of you.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu slowly stretched out his hand, and the sea of blood began to surge, as if it was about to give birth to a terrifying life.
However, just as he was about to touch the statue, Lu Yu suddenly stopped and withdrew his hand.
The storm of blood subsided instantly.
Lu Yu revealed a playful smile, then continued to reach out, causing waves to surge, before withdrawing his hand again, and the storm subsided.
Because Lu Yu kept probing in and out, the entire sea of blood was churning, and a group of fish-dragons emerged, already completely exhausted and on the verge of rolling their eyes...
Lu Yu, seemingly oblivious, continued to recklessly test the limits of danger until a figure appeared beside the statue, looking at him with a helpless expression, at which point he stopped.
It was the dragon eagle that had brought Lu Yu here earlier.
Lu Yu raised his head, looking at Long Ying without any surprise, and said meaningfully:
"Should I address you as Lord Dragon Eagle, or Ancient Beast Tamer?"
As a steady and reliable young man, Lu Yu didn't trust anyone. Therefore, the moment the dragon eagle arrived, Lu Yu activated his Eye of Truth. However, what he saw was...
【Crimson Three-Eyed Dragonhawk (Human Aberration)】
The specific information was not available due to insufficient spiritual power, but it was enough for Lu Yu.
This behemoth was not formed from a secret realm, but rather originated from a human mutation. This Dragon Secret Realm originated from the beast-taming space of an ancient beast tamer. The dragon eagle's ability to possess power comparable to a hegemon within it clearly indicates that it is not an outsider.
Connecting this with the previous analysis, we can basically confirm his identity: the master of the secret realm, an ancient beast tamer.
He must have mutated himself in some way the instant he was separated from the Beast Taming Space, thus gaining powerful vitality and lifespan, surviving in the ruins, and remaining stable and rational, waiting for the arrival of the successor.
Lu Yu remained calm because even though his opponent possessed the ability to crush and instantly kill him, he did not make a move, and he could not even sense any malice from them.
Either it's because of the evolution over the long years, it has become part of the secret realm and is restricted by the rules, or it really wants to leave behind a legacy, or even... it needs his help!
Of course, none of that is the key point. Lu Yu's greatest confidence comes from the Star Leaf given to him by the White Fox Boss. It can withstand the attack of Morning Star and reverse time and space, giving him enough time to escape.
"Either is fine. After all, I only retain human memories now. Otherwise, if this Crimson Sea hadn't provided me with such immense life force, helping me to curb the pollution, I probably would have been completely mutated long ago. But even so, I can never leave the secret realm. It's like being in an indefinite prison. Just call me Prisoner..."
The enormous dragon eagle spoke, its voice deep and steady, and its crimson eyes, looking at Lu Yu, held a mixture of surprise and admiration.
As expected of a super genius who could analyze the pattern on the first floor in just a few hours, his observation skills are truly amazing; he discovered its identity so quickly.
If it were him, he might actually be able to make that happen...
"Yes, Lord Dragon Eagle." Lu Yu nodded, then asked curiously, "Your condition seems quite stable; you don't seem to be in a hurry to choose a successor..."
"You're right. With the help of the Crimson Sea, we can hold out for another hundred years or so. I didn't want to come out so soon either, since the further a civilization develops, the stronger its basic strength becomes. But..." Dragon Eagle's face showed a human-like distress as he sighed, "You've seen the murals, so you should know that part of the remains was sealed, but recently the seal has been getting looser and looser. We have no choice but to open the secret realm ahead of schedule..."
Lu Yu frowned, not expecting that the secret realm could only open ahead of schedule because the remnants of that divine incarnation were breaking free from the seal. As for the purpose...
It's highly likely that they want the inheritor to send out the message and reinforce the seal.
It's a pleasant surprise that the divine-level material was sealed; it can be extracted as material.
But once they escape, it will turn into terror, or even a natural disaster sweeping the border. You must know that this is not a follower of an evil god, but a part of a real evil god.
If this triggers a chain reaction, it could even cause problems on the border battlefield, with a large number of monsters flooding into human territory.
At that point, it would completely escalate into a national catastrophe.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lu Yu quickly asked:
"Where is the seal located?"
Since the dragon eagle was there to deliver this message, it naturally wouldn't hide it. It flapped its wings, and deep red light gathered, transforming into a topographical map.
It pointed to an area and said, "Back then, the [King] sealed it deep underground. The entire area is locked by crimson chains, which connect to the earth's veins. As long as the earth doesn't break, the seal shouldn't be affected."
Actually, it had trembled once before, but it quickly subsided. However, recently it seems that something is attracting it, and it has gradually regained a sliver of its will...
Although the terrain may change over long periods of time, one can still discern general directions by observing some small, unobstructed natural landmarks.
When Lu Yu first saw this area, he felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. However, the border is very large, so it is normal to have familiar places.
Fortunately, he had downloaded a border map on his phone, and he took it out to compare it directly. However, the result he got stunned.
Although the terrain is slightly different, surrounded by several iconic landscapes and mountains, this place is surprisingly...
"Obuchi City!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, finding it hard to believe that the city he had lived in since childhood was actually built on the body of an evil god-level being!
What's the difference between this and dancing on a landmine?
Was the league unaware, or was it done intentionally?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly realized that the authority displayed by the remains of this deity in the painting was related to the sun, dusk, and shadow.
shadow……
A sudden thought struck him, and fragmented pieces of information suddenly connected, prompting him to ask:
"You said there were fluctuations before? How long ago was that?"
"Let me think..." A thoughtful expression appeared on Longying's face. Because of the mutation, it had become a kind of immortal being, making its concept of time somewhat blurred. In the end, it couldn't come up with a specific time, only giving a vague number:
"It was probably a few decades ago, but definitely not a hundred years ago. I remember now, there seems to have been a fluctuation after that, but the magnitude was so small that I almost overlooked it if I hadn't thought about it carefully."
"Decades ago..."
Lu Yu murmured softly, as all the clues in his mind began to connect.
The evil god's minions, summoned from the abandoned city decades ago, were sealed away, corresponding to the first fluctuation mentioned by the prisoner.
The second fluctuation was too small because it was an official baiting tactic; the evil god cult was wiped out by the warband before it could even be summoned.
As for the recent anomalies... if nothing unexpected happens, they should be related to the Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud and the offerings that the rats stole, involving a cult of evil gods secretly holding a ritual.
Their identities have been confirmed; they are the number one target of the Special Division's anti-pornography squad, the "Mother of Twilight" cult.
The fog instantly dissipated, and everything became clear. It turned out that these guys were still haunting the place, plotting to cause more trouble.
Previously, Lu Yu thought they simply wanted to release the evil god's followers, but now it seems that this is likely just a pretext, and their ultimate goal may be the remains of the [Mother of Twilight] incarnation deeper inside.
Of course, it's also possible that Lu Yu is overthinking things. After all, not everyone can possess the bug-like ability of the Eye of Truth, which allows them to see through all information and connect it together.
Evil gods are beings that cannot respond to everything humans do. They do not need human faith; they exist purely for pleasure. Even the syllables of their names are strange and cannot be pronounced by mortals.
It involves higher dimensions and secrets, which you wouldn't understand even if I told you, unless...
It was for that thing that the Mother of Twilight had sent in her avatar to try and steal from the border.
But now the border is part of human territory, protected by kings, making it difficult to exert influence. So it's quite normal that they need the help of these little ants like humans.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu also asked this question.
What exactly does the Mother of Twilight want to steal when she arrives?
However, Long Ying looked completely bewildered by this question. After all, although he came from ancient times, he was just an ordinary Morning Star-level Beast Tamer. In the face of such a high-level battle, he was not much bigger than an ant.
Now it is a mutant. Even though the Crimson Sea has suppressed the mutation, its desires will be amplified infinitely. Its only obsession is to eliminate the culprit that caused the destruction of the entire settlement, so it is almost impossible for it to lie about this.
"pity……"
Lu Yu also felt regretful about this, after all, an item that even supreme beings couldn't help but fight for must be a treasure.
As a half-forbidden being with a forbidden status, it shouldn't be a problem for him to come and "piggyback" on this, right?
However, before that, he had to reveal some information.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Once Dayuan City is destroyed, the impact of the border battlefield could very well affect the entire human race. At that time, he will lose a stable rear area, and his progress will be greatly slowed down.
Besides, since we knew about it beforehand, why not give it a try...?
Are we fleecing the evil god?
As long as you're bold enough, even evil gods can be unleashed...
Ahem, forget about that. Lu Yu isn't that desperate.
Now that he knew these secrets, Lu Yu didn't waste any more time and asked directly:
"What is the challenge on this level?"
"what?"
The dragon eagle was stunned because Lu Yu was so talkative that it subconsciously regarded him as an equal and prepared to directly pass on the message.
I didn't expect this guy to be planning to continue challenging the secret realm!
However, it still honestly stated:
"Touching the statue will conjure up a phantom of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King..."
"Wait, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Lu Yu has settled in Bengbu. You expect a newbie Beast Tamer like me to fight an ancient Dragon King projection?
Are you sure your brain isn't malfunctioning?
Dragon Eagle also realized what was happening and quickly explained:
"The Dragon King's phantom is at the initial stage of the Commander level. Although it is still very strong, you don't need to win. Just survive for ten minutes to pass the test. During this time, you can use all your pets."
Lu Yu's expression was somewhat strange, and he asked again:
"All pets? Are you sure?"
"Yes, that's right."
The dragon eagle nodded, a small hint of doubt on its large head. For some reason, it sensed that Lu Yu seemed quite excited after hearing that he could use all pets.
Are all these future beast tamers so strange? Even the Silver-tier pets they have are only two, and their strongest pets are only at the peak of the elite level.
Even if you add it all up, it's just a matter of letting the phantom of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King get a couple more hits.
Could they possibly unite and sweep everything away?
How is that possible?
"Very good!"
After receiving a positive reply, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and patted his pocket.
The little spider poked its head out, and the mouse jumped out of the shadow.
One roams the void, the other controls the shadows.
"These are... two monarch-level cubs!"
Dragon Eagle was somewhat shocked that the human in front of him actually had two monarch-level cubs.
In ancient times, each of them would have been qualified to open up a territory, but now they are all contracted with a human at the same time.
Has human civilization developed to such an impressive level in the future?
"What a waste of a good era..."
While Long Ying was envious, he also understood where Lu Yu's confidence came from. Although the two little guys were a bit weak, only at the early stage of elite level, it wouldn't be difficult for them to last for ten minutes...
boom!
However, the next moment, the little hamster in front of him suddenly turned into a huge red and black mecha-style ant, with blood-red ribbons flying around and exuding a suffocating physical power that could shake mountains and rivers.
"This mouse is a shapeshifter?!" Dragonhawk blurted out in surprise, only to be angrily retorted by the mouse.
"I'm not a mouse!!! I'm a hamster! A cute, adorable hamster!"
"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry..."
Long Ying felt deeply apologetic, but he had never seen a hamster in his time, so he didn't quite understand what the rat was saying. He just assumed that its surname was Cang and its given name was Shu (Rat).
Now it seems that Lu Yu's rat pet possesses elite-level shapeshifting abilities, and in their era, the powerful Wild Ant, known for its strength, does indeed have a chance to fight against the phantom of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King...
Just when Dragon Eagle thought this was the limit, Little Spider reached out and once again drew out the soul weapon of [Rat Soul Sword - Ant King Star Shatter].
However, with the increased proficiency in the [Mind's Eye Soul Sword], subtle adjustments can now be made.
The greatsword became larger, and numerous serrations and barbs appeared on it. From a distance, it resembled a chainsaw or a spiked club. In addition to stabbing and slashing, it could also be used to smash, making it more violent and befitting a symbol of absolute force.
Once it hits, not only does its power increase, but it also pulls out a large amount of flesh and blood, causing tons of damage.
boom!
Endless black and red energy swept through, staining the world. Terrifying power was unleashed, causing the secret realm to creak and crack under the strain.
It's so confusing who the final boss is!
Upon seeing this, Long Ying fell silent.
Um... is it too late for them to change the rules now?
Otherwise, the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King phantom would likely be brutally beaten...
