As soon as she finished speaking, a phantom river appeared behind her, without origin or end, vast and sweeping across everything.
Each wave in the river represents a glorious civilization, only to vanish in an instant, marking its demise. And this is merely a small tributary in the long river of fate.
Even so, Yu Xiyan was not qualified to summon it. The reason it appeared was because...
Suddenly, a large number of pure white feathers appeared before her eyes, fluttering down with a holy glow, beautiful and dazzling, as if she had arrived in the heavens.
"Singing—"
A mystical, ethereal voice rang out behind her, seemingly asking for the girl's request.
Yu Xiyan turned around and saw a white ball of light with pure white wings floating beside her, radiating a warm aura. It looked surprisingly cute.
The aura was not as strong as expected; it was only at the initial stage of the Commander realm.
Although they are still very strong, the difference compared to the previous performance is quite significant.
However, Yu Xiyan was not disappointed.
Because she knew she had used a trick, an ancient spell that she would acquire in the future, to summon a small angel from the pure white heavens.
After all, what she valued wasn't strength, but the ability it symbolized.
Purify!
"My request is to destroy all the ritual nodes containing the feathers and purify the magic circle. As for the price..." Yu Xiyan stated her request, then continued, "I'll use one of my future possibilities!"
The reward sounded unreal, but the ball of light nodded humanely and then sang a more ethereal and sacred song.
At that moment, dozens of feathers placed in different corners of the desert suddenly floated up and merged into the pillar engraved with sacrificial incantations, revealing a phantom image of white wings embracing it. The feathers shattered instantly, then wrapped in blood-red inscriptions and transformed into a stream of light that shot straight into the sky.
Dozens of beams of light converged in the sky into a fist-sized ball of light, flashing with dazzling white light.
"This white light looks so beautiful..."
"Is this a light-type pet?"
"Have reinforcements arrived?"
This scene quickly attracted everyone's attention, and there was a lot of discussion. Even Bai Mingyi and his two companions were puzzled.
What kind of pet beast exudes such a sacred aura?
"This is……"
Upon seeing this, the eight-armed Titan Serpent Man's expression changed drastically. As if he had thought of something, he condensed his Hundred Arms Spear and shot it toward the ball of light!
However, the three beast tamers were not stupid and acted decisively.
Although we don't know what happened, we just need to do the opposite of what the enemy wants to do!
"The Frozen Coffin!"
"Thunderbolt Spear!"
"Hellfire Ball!"
Three high-level skills swept across, instantly shattering it in mid-air.
Chen Yuxiao laughed loudly, "Don't rush, let's have a proper discussion!"
Bai Mingyi was speechless, but his body language betrayed him as he stood with him.
At the same time, the sphere of light transformed into a beam of light that shot straight down, carrying divine radiance and tearing through space.
Seeing this, the eight-armed Titan snake-man forcibly broke through the encirclement, enduring the attacks of three beast tamers. After suffering heavy injuries, many of the venomous snakes spat out black venomous blood.
"Get out of here!"
It wasn't going to stop; instead, it wanted to block the beam of light with its own body.
Bai Mingyi's gaze sharpened, and he shouted, "Don't let it block this beam of light!"
However, before they could get close, a huge venomous snake lunged at them, blocking their way.
It's too late to get there!
Just when they thought they were about to fail, Yu Xiyan said with a smile:
"Done."
Just as the beam of light was about to strike the eight-armed Titan Serpent, it suddenly entered a ripple of space and appeared directly on the altar the next moment.
Thrones, also known as "the chariots of God" and "the chariots of all things"!
It has the ability to travel anywhere!
The beam of light pierced through the egg of cause and effect in an instant, transforming into a pillar of light that enveloped it, spreading scorching light-attribute energy that burned it.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
The Egg of Cause and Effect emitted a sharp wail, hundreds of eyes shed black tears of blood, and countless souls wailed as they were instantly vaporized. The light-attribute energy displayed a powerful purification ability, purifying the black blood one by one.
After losing the black blood, the Egg of Cause and Effect began to shrink at a visible speed. In just half a minute, it turned into a fist-sized sphere, lying listlessly on the ground, its eyes opening and closing weakly, on the verge of death.
Click!
The entire altar began to crack due to the disruption of the ritual, and it seemed as if it could shatter at any moment.
Meanwhile, the small angelic orb in the distance did not continue to disrupt the ritual. It was not at all like the legendary angels who hated evil. Instead, it adhered well to the working class's philosophy of doing only what it was paid for.
"Thank you, this is your payment."
Yu Xiyan had no intention of reneging on her promise. She took out a blue light from her body, her face visibly turned pale, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her aura visibly weakened, making her look more frail.
"Singing—"
The little angel nodded, picked it up, fluttered its tiny wings, and flew back along a tributary of the river of fate.
Before it disappeared, Yu Xiyan saw the light on its body dissipate, turning into an eye with pure white wings, approaching an indescribably huge figure. Pure white rings kept rotating, shining brightly and illuminating the tributaries of the river of fate.
The little angel, like a swallow nestling in a nest, nestled into one of the pure white rings.
"So it's this person who's here. Looks like it'll take some effort to reclaim this destiny, but the corresponding benefits will be even greater..."
As Yu Xiyan watched the disappearing River of Fate, a sly glint flashed in her beautiful eyes. She had the audacity to prepare for a future double-cross.
In reality, Lu Yu only needed her to destroy the nodes outside the altar, but Yu Xiyan wanted to exceed the task requirements.
But this kind of thing is very dangerous. If she's not careful, she'll be targeted by a high-ranking being. Unfortunately, she's too weak right now. If she wants to disrupt the ritual, she can only borrow these powers.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and we successfully delivered a great gift.
She then woke up Qi Wei, who opened his eyes, was startled at first, then sprang to his feet and checked himself over.
"Phew, thank goodness..."
Having found that no one was missing an arm or leg, Qi Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Then, noticing that Yu Xiyan was completely pale, he couldn't help but speak:
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
Yu Xiyan showed a troubled expression:
"My period has started."
You're kidding me. What period is like heavy bleeding?
Are you the legendary Blood Fountain?
Wouldn't that be like juicing...?
But facing his smiling cousin, Qi Wei still didn't dare to talk back, because this wicked woman was too ruthless, and he might have to be chained up and paraded through the streets when they got back.
Yu Xiyan didn't bother to explain, and turned around to say:
"It's all over, we should head back now."
"Okay... Ah?" Qi Wei nodded, then paused, looking at the still ongoing battlefield, where huge bare rocks were being crushed into dust, and a huge eight-armed Titan snake-man roared to the sky, as dark spirituality swept across the Gobi Desert.
This doesn't look like the end at all.
However, judging from Yu Xiyan's appearance, she seemed to be ill, and since there was no point in them staying, Qi Wei didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. Before leaving, he remembered something and quickly said:
"Should we look for Lu Yu? He's been missing since the beginning, and we haven't seen him on the battlefield either. I wonder if he's lost?"
As for the task Lu Yu assigned him, he didn't take it to heart at all.
This level of battle is something that small fry like them can't get involved in. Even if Lu Yu hadn't gotten lost, he would probably have to hide if he saw this battle.
Unlike him, who is so brave and dares to disrupt the ritual!
"No need, he has things to do, and..." Yu Xiyan shook her head and smiled faintly, "He won't get lost, he'll always be on the right path, but I will, so I have to work twice as hard just to see his back..."
Just then, dawn broke, bringing with it a burst of rosy clouds. The morning light dispelled the night, illuminating half of the desert, and the last ray of sunlight fell precisely on the cliff, landing on her.
As if she had donned a feathered robe, she shone brightly at this moment, her eyes sparkling like stars. Coupled with her regretful tone, she exuded a touch of girlish fragility, making one's heart ache.
Qi Wei was stunned, then realized what had happened and his eyes widened in horror. He realized he had been tricked again.
Yu Xiyan has barely spoken a few words to Lu Yu, how could she be so affectionate?
In other words, this scheming woman is also faking it; she's just playing herself.
Women are terrifying; every word they say hides a trap.
Thinking about it, Qi Wei couldn't help but take a few steps back to create a safe distance. Yu Xiyan saw what he was thinking, but she just smiled even more happily.
If the depth of feelings is calculated based on the length of time the relationship has lasted.
So, how long did she know Lu Yu...?
Even if we calculate based on the time it takes for someone to die at his hands in billions of simulations, he would absolutely surpass anyone else!
Near the altar.
"You all deserve to die!"
Seeing the half-dead Egg of Cause and Effect, the eight-armed Titan Serpent Man, knowing his plan had failed, flew into a rage and fell into endless madness, constantly condensing the Hundred-Armed Spear and throwing it out, with a vast amount of dark spiritual energy sweeping in all directions.
Click click click!
The four faces attached to its body also came to life, detaching directly from its body and connected by blood-red ribbons, like venomous snakes opening their blood-red mouths to bite directly.
"Be careful!"
The Ice Demon White Lion almost had half its body bitten off because it couldn't react in time, which scared Bai Mingyi so much that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
It was so close to becoming food.
Chen Yuxiao and Black Light Leopard were chased and bitten by the three masks because they had been too arrogant before.
"this……"
Peng E was left standing aside, feeling a bit bewildered and inexplicably out of place. So he pretended to be chased and started running with the Flaming Serpent to increase his sense of participation.
After running for a while, Chen Yuxiao, who was being chased and jumping around, called for backup.
The battle became increasingly intense, especially as the eight-armed Titan Serpent Man went into desperate mode, launching attacks as fierce as a storm, causing the three to secretly groan in despair.
A thought spontaneously arose:
"What exactly is that mysterious figure behind the Fog Raven trying to do?"
Bai Mingyi couldn't help but shout, "Does this guy want to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"
"Who knows? All I know is that in this battle between the snipe and the clam, we clams are going to be the first to die!" Chen Yuxiao replied dejectedly. Because he had used the [Provocation] skill too frequently before, the BOSS's aggro was now basically all on him.
Peng E said with a solemn expression, "If this continues, we will definitely not be able to kill him. However, the ritual has been ruined, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved."
The other two understood his meaning and knew there was no need to fight to the death, so they had already begun to consider retreating.
The eight-armed Titan Serpent Man also saw through their thoughts and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only by showing enough madness could they gain a glimmer of hope for survival.
Although the ritual was disrupted, the Egg of Cause and Effect and the Embryo of Rebirth are still there. At worst, the ritual offerings can be collected again, although it will take a lot of time, which is still acceptable.
"Luckily, these humans haven't noticed..." Just as it was feeling relieved, it suddenly received a message from the warning array that had been set up in advance.
Someone broke into the underground cave, and the time was...
Twenty minutes ago.
The daylily buds are already cold!
Furthermore, the fact that the information was blocked for a period of time suggests that this person did not enter by mistake, but rather it was premeditated!
His goal,
It could very well be a reincarnated fetus!
Could it be that those guys are going to break the agreement?
"These lunatics are definitely unreliable!"
Thinking of this, the leader of the limb-splitting demons became anxious and tried to sense the reincarnated fetus. He successfully made contact, but the connection was short-lived.
He suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"Be careful!"
Just as the three beast tamers were on high alert, thinking it was some kind of special trump card, the eight-armed Titan serpent-man constructed from dark spiritual power suddenly exploded with a "bang".
"Aaaaaah!" The leader of the limb-splitting demons returned to normal, letting out a painful howl. The agony in his soul caused his entire body to convulse, and he roared with a ferocious expression, "You despicable bastard, you actually killed my reincarnation! I will tear you to pieces!"
That person killed his soul split, seized the core of the Thousand-Faced Demon, and completely severed his path to becoming a Morning Star.
The hatred of being blocked from the road is a blood feud comparable to that of killing one's parents!
"Danger!"
Bai Mingyi and the others initially thought this guy wanted to take them all down with him, so they instinctively kept their distance. But after listening for a while, they realized that he wasn't talking about the three of them.
But it was always them who were fighting. As for the holy light just now, even if it was out of resentment, it shouldn't have taken so long to erupt, right?
unless……
The three exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"It's that mysterious person!"
Only the intervention of the mysterious figure who manipulated the Fog Ravens to notify them of their arrival can explain all of this.
Although we don't know what the Reincarnated Embryo mentioned by the leader of the Limb-Splitting Demons is, his hysterical state suggests that it is definitely the most important trump card.
But now, it seems to have been destroyed.
The blow to him was far greater than that of the mysterious fleshy ball on the altar.
Now they suddenly realized that the mysterious powerful figure was not some petty person trying to profit from the situation, but a true sage.
From the very beginning, he saw through that the altar was not the core, destroyed the reincarnation at its source, and completely nipped the conspiracy in the bud.
However, they were smug about breaking a fake ritual and almost let the leader of the limb-splitting demons go, causing a major disaster.
The holy light just now was probably caused by that person who couldn't stand by and watch.
Thinking of this, the three of them felt ashamed. They had judged the other party with their own petty mind, but the other party had helped them many times.
High judgment.
Bai Mingyi also came to his senses and quickly said, "Don't waste the opportunity that our senior gave us!"
Being able to see through the conspiracy at a glance and disrupt the ritual with a simple use of holy light, reversing the situation, his strength and wisdom are definitely not low. It is not an exaggeration to call him a senior.
Chen Yuxiao and Peng E nodded, and the three of them quickly took action.
"Black Lightning Panther, Roar of Lightning!"
The black electric leopard was surrounded by electric currents. With a sudden stomp, it roared like thunder, deafeningly loud. Crackling electric currents swept out from the center of it, like a thunderstorm. Taking advantage of the limb-splitting demon leader's injured soul and lack of reaction time, it instantly enveloped him.
Rumble!
The electric current, imbued with the power of destruction, instantly shattered his armor. Arcs of electricity flowed, and his flesh and blood rapidly charred. He let out an angry roar, his body paralyzed and stiffened, and he fell toward the ground.
However, at this moment, the earth suddenly cracked open, and a pillar of fire shot into the sky from the crack, carrying an intense heat that could burn everything, turning the area within a hundred meters around him into a sea of fire.
In the distance, a giant serpent with black and red scales is plunging its fiery tail into the earth, controlling everything.
The Flame Serpent's combo attack - Hellfire!
"What can mere flames do to me?"
The leader of the limb-splitting demons roared, his eight arms forming hand seals. The magma demon's arms formed a spell seal, quickly engulfing the flames into his body, transforming him into a fire demon. His body temperature rose rapidly, the surrounding air distorted, and his breath was filled with scorching black smoke.
However, the leader of the limb-splitting demons breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Mingyi's voice rang out:
"If fire doesn't work, then there's ice!"
The Ice Demon White Lion appeared above his head, unleashing a blizzard that instantly froze the leader of the Limb-Splitting Demons.
Although it was rapidly melted by the high temperature of the magma, the alternating high temperatures and extreme cold caused numerous cracks to appear on its shell.
"Strike while the iron is hot!"
The three pressed their advantage, but since this had happened, the leader became utterly enraged, his eyes filled with madness:
"If you want to kill me, then we'll die together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly exploded, the terrifying impact directly overturning the yellow sand, creating a sand wave ten feet high that blotted out the sky and the earth shook. The three people instinctively retreated upon seeing this.
However, after a while, the anticipated psionic explosion did not continue, and Bai Mingyi immediately realized:
"This guy's trying to run away!"
Come to think of it, how could someone who willingly transforms into a demon in pursuit of immortality be willing to die so easily?
They looked toward the altar, where a tattered, blood-red shadow rushed toward it, drawing out all the blood-web parasites of the limb-splitting demons and gathering them on its own body.
One by one, the limb-splitting demons collapsed to the ground in agony and died. They had originally abandoned human dignity in pursuit of power and immortality, but now they were being used directly as consumables.
As a large number of worm threads gathered, the leader of the limb-jointing demons quickly transformed into a disgusting worm mass made up of a large number of blood-thread parasites, and directly rolled up the egg of cause and effect and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
Whether it's finding the mastermind behind it all or shaking off the enemy through the underground passage, it's the best option.
"Oh no, we mustn't let him get away!"
Seeing this, the three of them immediately gave chase.
"The weather is so nice!"
On the other side, Lu Yu also came up from the bottom of the cave. Looking at the desolate yellow sand outside the cave entrance, he had only felt the desolation before, but now he felt the vastness of the desert.
in short,
When I'm in a good mood, everything looks good!
reason……
Naturally, it's because we had a bumper harvest of materials!
Because the ritual was disrupted, the Thousand-Faced Wild Ant lost its immortality and was naturally killed by him, dropping a large amount of materials.
Among them was a complete five-star intermediate-grade material, the [Thousand-Faced Demon Core], as well as a complete corpse of a reincarnated Wild Power Ant. Because it was not large, Lu Yu folded it up and threw it into the Void Treasure Chest, waiting to deal with it when he got back.
Even when extracting materials, we can't waste the blood and scales. We have two money-devouring beasts at home, so we have to be careful with our money.
"Luckily, we had Yu Xiyan as a backup plan this time. If she hadn't summoned holy light and disrupted the ritual, we would have almost left disappointed. It's just that this money..."
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to part with the money, but rather that his goal from the beginning was the Thousand-Faced Demon material, along with the new body conceived by the Wild Power Ant through reincarnation. This was something he couldn't possibly take out.
Even a five-star material, if it retains any residual spirituality, can cause a sensation and inevitably attract some unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he never intended to accept the mission from the beginning. As for the reward, he would pay for it himself to make up for Yu Xiyan's losses. Fortunately, he picked up a lot of loot when he swept away the limb-splitting demon, so it was not difficult to raise some money.
As for the mission...
He would definitely say to the outside world that he had fled far away and did not dare to get close. After all, he was just an ordinary bronze-rank beast tamer, so it was normal for him to be timid in the face of such a grand scene.
Moreover, to prevent his identity from being exposed, Lu Yu now donned the yellow robe of the previous collector.
Even if someone sees it, they can still pin all the blame on the "collector".
He was innocent, but possessing a treasure was a crime.
As for the "collector," it means that the treasure belongs to the virtuous.
It's all the world's fault!
If even collectors are being targeted, then it's time to change aliases.
"Now that I'm back, I can finally prepare the secret food for the hamster's evolution..."
Lu Yu touched the mouse in his pocket, which was curled up in a ball and asleep. Fortunately, it had done its best to suppress the leakage of extraordinary fluctuations and perfectly created an information gap, making a great contribution.
I'll go back and cook a delicious meal to treat it and the little spider.
However, as soon as he left the cave, Lu Yu saw a streak of blood-red light rushing towards him, followed closely by three beast tamers.
Upon seeing the man in the yellow robe, they loudly warned him:
"Get out of the way! This guy is the leader of the limb-splitting demons; he'll parasitize and take over your body!"
However, it was already too late.
"It's you..."
The leader of the limb-splitting demons was both furious and delighted; furious because he was seeing his enemy with intense hatred.
The good news is that this guy hasn't left yet, which means that the Thousand-Faced Demon's core is definitely on him, and it's a chance to take it back.
However, despite its madness, it did not lose its rationality.
This guy was able to embed himself silently into the underground cave and shield himself from his senses, so he is likely a powerful being who has undergone a spiritual transformation.
As for the Morning Star level, it's unlikely, because one could simply slap oneself to death without needing to be so sneaky.
If it were the previous leader of the limb-splitting demons, he would naturally not be afraid of a beast tamer who has undergone spiritual transformation.
But now its soul and body are both severely damaged, and it is also being relentlessly pursued by three people.
A rash fight will only end in death.
The only remaining method is the Egg of Cause and Effect!
Through this special demonic object, one can seize the other's memories, soul, flesh, and the power of existence, using it as a medium to steal the other's karma and forcibly replace everything about them.
It can only be used once!
Originally intended to fuse with the reincarnated embryo and help him directly advance to the Morning Star Overlord level, but now there's no time to worry about anything else...
"Since you've ruined my ritual, you'll have to make amends yourself!"
The leader of the limb-splitting demons roared, pouring all his spiritual power into the Egg of Cause and Effect, preparing to gamble everything.
Click!
The eyes on the Egg of Cause and Effect opened once more, but this time strange scarlet runes appeared in them. They looked at Lu Yu, who was trying to dodge, and locked onto him firmly. A scarlet array appeared beneath their feet and unfolded.
A strange suction force appeared and landed on Lu Yu, but it could not pull out his soul essence, nor could it interfere with his body, nor could it even absorb his power of existence.
"Is this the end of the world?"
Just when the leader of the limb-splitting demons was about to despair, he suddenly discovered that a part of his memories had been pulled out.
Although the amount is small, once absorbed, it can serve as a medium to integrate oneself into the other person's memory and become a personality.
In this way, one becomes part of this mysterious person, and as long as one lives, there is hope of seizing control of the body.
With no way out, the leader of the limb-splitting demons decisively absorbed this memory; however, the images in its mind made its insect-like body tremble uncontrollably.
Because he saw... nine suns!
