Chapter 355 Ascension to Radiant Moon! A Mantra Born! The Entire Team Levels Up! (Rat Muzan)
boom!
The illusory image of the fifty-four-armed dragon tree behind Lu Yu descended, shining with endless brilliance, and transformed into a high-speed spinning tree spear that pierced through the void.
"Great Sacred Tree Spiral Gun!"
Every move is a killing blow!
Whoohoo!
The fake Lu Yu stared at Lu Yu with empty eyes, his celestial breathing operating at a high frequency, creating rings of holy light that swirled around him.
then……
They used the exact same skill!
Rumble!
The two great sacred tree spiral spears collided and shattered instantly, unleashing endless holy light that swept across the area and generated a terrifying shockwave, powerful enough to create a hurricane that could blow for dozens of miles.
However, in the chaotic dark sea, the aftershocks of the battle only spread two hundred meters away before being annihilated by the fog of cognition. The sea surface beside the ship only rippled in circles, not even a wave.
The closer you get to the main stream of the mother river, the more you will gradually see its true nature.
Not only is it extremely difficult for ordinary things to move it!
They lack sufficient strength, and don't even have the right to look directly at the main river channel.
"here we go again!"
Lu Yu's Eye of Truth spun, his gaze piercing through the fake Lu Yu shrouded in endless white light on the deck. Like a tiger or leopard crouching before a hunt, he flashed in front of him and attacked again.
The fifty-four dragon demon arms behind it intertwined, transforming into a Great Sage Tree Seal that suppressed everything.
Holy light and air currents intertwined, annihilating everything.
His fighting style is extremely fierce!
"Not bad, you have some of my style!"
Lu Yu was amazed, but the Dragon Demon Arm behind him did not stop its movements, whipping up holy light to strike the sky.
Like an ancient sacred tree supporting the heavens!
Celestial Breath - The Sacred Tree Supports the Heavens!
boom!
The close-range collision unleashed a terrifying force. Unexpectedly, dozens of smaller Sacred Tree Seals were hidden within the Sacred Tree Seal itself. They erupted instantly, numbing Lu Yu's hands, prompting him to exclaim, "This child is like me!"
Equally despicable!
Unfortunately, we were still one step behind!
Lu Yu had seen through it beforehand with his Eye of Truth and was prepared, but it was clear from the two exchanges that the opponent's pure spiritual energy and power were superior.
As for the reason... he already knew.
Because the Eye of Truth and the Forbidden Position cannot be replicated, and are even unique, the copy in front of you may not be yourself from other timelines.
But the Supreme Mother River follows the principle of balance: the stronger the opponent, the greater the benefits after defeating them!
If the opponent is too weak, the power of the mantra obtained will be weakened!
As for Lu Yu... because of the existence of the forbidden position, in theory, there should be no clone of him.
But the Supreme Mother River intervened, directly creating an "opponent" for him and continuously adding points to his psionic abilities to achieve balance.
This is……
It comes from the love of Mother River!
"Eek!" "Shuren!" "Roar!"
Seeing this, many of the pets, including the little spider, the mouse, and the paper knight, wanted to come and help, but Lu Yu stopped them with a contract.
This is a tribulation of the self born from the resonance between spirituality and the chaotic dark ocean, and it is directed at the individual.
For example, beast tamers compete in their skills of commanding beasts!
Introducing external forces will only cause the mother river to condense more projections; this is an ironclad law of equilibrium that no one can violate.
The little spiders don't have any forbidden slots, so if they're copied, they'll be the complete form, which will only increase the difficulty.
Even if cheating were possible, Lu Yu wouldn't use it here.
The spiritual path is a process of understanding the mind, which requires unwavering courage and will!
If even a clone without forbidden positions cannot be defeated, how can one reverse the flow of the three tributaries and enter the main current of the eternal mother river?
How then can we contend with so many great beings?
"bring it on!"
Lu Yu laughed and immediately began a fierce battle with the clone.
Although the opponent possesses everything beyond the forbidden ranks, such as the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear, the Azure Heaven Profound Meaning, and so on.
However, Lu Yu has more advantages. His Eye of Truth sees through everything, and the longer the battle lasts, the more weaknesses his opponent will reveal.
Therefore, even though Lu Yu was at a disadvantage in terms of spiritual energy at the beginning, he quickly leveled the score, and the two were evenly matched. After a while, he gradually began to gain the upper hand.
In the end, they even used their opponents as targets to hone their combat skills and find and improve their own shortcomings.
When Lu Yu gets ruthless, he'll even fleece "himself"!
After fighting for about half an hour, Lu Yu realized he wouldn't get anything more, and to prevent this guy from inheriting his sixth brother's secret techniques and developing all sorts of trump cards, he chose to go all out.
"The ranch has arrived!"
He summoned a ranch with both pure white and storm attributes to empower himself, causing his combat power to surge dramatically.
boom!
Upon seeing this, the clone also summoned a spiritual puzzle piece, but it was not the [Rancher], because it too was born from a forbidden position.
The replica puzzle was created from pet animals such as little spiders and mice...
The Tomb of the End
The spiritual puzzle descends, reflecting a desolate wasteland, a barren graveyard that brings about the end, with rows of tombs floating in the void.
Once enveloped, it will continuously have its life force and existence drained away, becoming nourishment for the cemetery. The more living beings and worlds buried within, the stronger its power will become.
May it bring an end to all beings!
It's also a top-tier spiritual puzzle, comparable to those of true royal families, but unfortunately...
He met Lu Yu!
"Smash it!"
Lu Yu used fallacious laws to deny the rationality of the clone, and then seized the opportunity to throw the Chaos Egg directly at it.
boom!
The chaotic egg, surrounded by endless chaotic energy, shattered the spiritual puzzle of the [End of the Graveyard] like a falling meteorite.
boom!
Furthermore, a terrifying suppressive force spread from the Chaos Egg, suppressing the entire End Graveyard. Then, it was suppressed by the [Rancher] puzzle piece and put into grazing.
In just a few breaths, a small tombstone appeared on the edge of the paper god's contamination in the pasture, standing quietly.
After absorbing the entire spiritual puzzle piece, the ranch began to tremble violently and expand wildly, tripling in size within a few breaths.
It went straight from a pasture to a barren grassland!
Click!
The clone, severely injured and stimulated by the intense pain, broke free from the laws of absurdity and tried to resist, but was shot through the head, sealing away all its power!
"I am...the only one!"
Lu Yu's indifferent voice rang out as he spun the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear, instantly shredding the brain into dust, leaving only a headless corpse.
He hates living things that look like him the most, even puppets he makes, except for his rat clone.
boom!
The moment the clone died, the will of the Mother River descended. Even a mere wisp of its pressure surpassed that of the Machine God by countless times.
Greatness is beyond description.
He is the highest river, the origin of all realms, and... the foundation of all existence!
However, although the Mother River's will was grand, it was not tyrannical; instead, it gave Lu Yu a warm feeling.
Under His guidance, Lu Yu gradually came to understand the essence of spirituality and gained a deeper understanding of the world.
He was like a newborn child, greedily absorbing the nourishment given by his mother, rapidly increasing his knowledge reserves.
At the same time, the headless clone exploded with a "pop," turning into countless floating specks of light.
They swiftly entered Lu Yu's body like swallows returning to their nests, first circulating through his limbs and bones, and then converging into the newly born, still chaotic, golden spiritual moon.
hum!
After receiving special spiritual replenishment, the golden moon shone even brighter, completely merging into the Beast Taming Space, hanging in the sky, and releasing its radiance without any concealment.
They began to nurture Lu Yu's soul.
This is the special effect of transforming with Holy Moon Crystals—Nourish the Soul!
From now on, Lu Yu's psychic radiance will greatly enhance his soul's recovery speed and mental strength.
Even if the soul suffers trauma, as long as it is not too severe, it can heal itself in a short period of time.
Rumble!
At the same time, under the illumination of the golden spirit moon, the Beast Taming Space began to expand rapidly several times over, and its area was now equivalent to that of a large city.
The spatial barriers in all directions became increasingly solid, and the land became more and more real, capable of forming food chains and accommodating large groups of slave beasts to recuperate and thrive!
hum!
The golden spiritual moon hanging high in the sky kept turning, devouring the chaotic seawater of the Nether Sea and transforming it into pure spirituality, causing a thin layer of mist to shroud the entire Beast Taming Space.
That was a pure spirituality that was almost tangible!
Ordinary people who stay here, even without cultivating, can gain a long lifespan; it can truly be called a blessed land.
Lu Yu sensed it briefly and found that the acceleration effect of his Beast Taming Space on his pets had reached an astonishing eight times, with one day inside being equivalent to eight days outside.
Some pets with long growth cycles can quickly reach adulthood within their own taming space.
"I heard that the acceleration limit of the Beast Taming Space is ten times. Some special talents and time-based Beast Tamers can exceed this limit, but it is enough for me."
Next, it's time to put the family civility cultivation plan on the agenda...
Lu Yu pondered, beginning to consider developing a slave beast race for his many pet beasts, accelerating the emergence of civilization, and then spawning a large number of hero units.
Once the main world is at war, they can use massive herds of beasts to overwhelm living beings and plunder resources to nourish themselves and their pets.
Generally speaking, it is the ecosystem owner that harvests the harvest and seeks opportunities for advancement.
However, the bug in the Dominator system is that it allows Lu Yu to master some of the Ecosystem Master's abilities at a lower level.
More importantly, Lu Yu had witnessed many powerful individuals at high levels and knew that the promotion ceremonies for high-ranking individuals were complex and required the completion of corresponding ecological processes.
Preparing in advance is always a good idea!
Gurgling!
As the Beast Taming Space took shape, Lu Yu's body began to undergo a blood transfusion. His original human blood was replaced with dark golden blood flowing with highly condensed Holy Moon Spiritual Energy. The infusion of new blood greatly enhanced his physique, and the secret weapon projection behind him, the Fifty-Four Armed Sacred Dragon Tree, also underwent a transformation.
Click click click!
The Sacred Dragon Tree instantly grew to a hundred meters tall, transforming from a phantom into a true Martial Avatar, growing real flesh and blood, and gaining ten more golden moonlight dragon demon arms, becoming the sixty-four-armed [Sacred Dragon Tree Martial Avatar].
Driven by the Beastmaster main system, Lu Yu easily broke through to the Limit Break level, a level comparable to the Radiant Moon Rank, which countless people in the Secret Martial World dream of!
In a smaller world, calling him the God of Martial Arts wouldn't be an exaggeration!
But that's far from enough in the main world. With the advent of the chaotic era, he needs even greater power to be qualified to play a role in the true king's chessboard, to capture more important pieces as a pawn, and even...
General!
"My lifespan has also increased significantly!"
Lu Yu checked and found that, with the support of the dual systems and the Celestial Breathing, his lifespan had directly entered a triple jump mode.
The age was increased directly from 531 to 1542.
It has nearly half the lifespan of a normal Moonlit Rank cultivator, equivalent to one-sixth the lifespan of an Eternal Sunlit Rank giant.
If we consider the average lifespan of a dynasty in his previous life as two hundred years, Lu Yu could witness the rise and fall of seven and a half dynasties.
"This time, the Staff of the Dust Walker has received an epic upgrade, and it can be used to replace three, or even more, giants."
Lu Yu was overjoyed, then turned his gaze to the depths of his soul.
There, the Mother River's blessings have come to an end, and it begins to condense into mysterious and dazzling characters.
That is...
Truth!
It is a product of spiritual power being sublimated and condensed after being blessed by the Mother River. Even if they are of the same attribute, they will condense completely different mantras due to individual differences, such as the fire attribute's [Turbid Fire] and [Cold Flame].
The former can imbue fire-attribute skills with a corrupting power, like a maggot clinging to the bone, constantly burning the soul, comparable to a corrupting poison.
The latter can spread flames that freeze everything, and when burned to the extreme, it can even freeze space and time.
And this is still considered a common mantra, which can only enhance the power of skills. Some rare mantras can even have effects comparable to laws.
For example, the [True Word - Void Ghost] used by the Eighth Finger can create all sorts of bizarre Void Ghost potions, causing the injected life to mutate, or even distort the void, turning it into a living thing.
Lu Yu was also very curious.
What will be my true words?
"Truth? The essence? The principles of nature? Or is it a heresy, like a fallacy, diametrically opposed to the truth?"
He looked expectant, but the next moment, he saw thousands of words appear deep within his soul.
It contains the illusory image of the river of time, the "Time" that alters time, the "Order" that governs all things and imposes shackles, the "Yin and Yang" that represent the balance of opposites and constant rotation of all things, the "Eternity" that is eternal and cannot be erased by time, and even the "Wisdom" that enlightens all things, and so on...
Whether he had seen the mantras before or not, all of them displayed vastly different powers, presented before Lu Yu like a group of beautiful courtesans, each striking a seductive pose, allowing him to choose freely. He was dazzled by the sight!
The Mother River's will was also incredibly passionate; it seemed that all it took was a nod from him to reach the infinite other shore.
"This is……"
Lu Yu looked surprised, but quickly understood everything.
The Key to Truth!
The authority of truth is absolute correctness!
No matter which mantra he chooses, even if it's a supreme law like time, space, or life and death, or even an attribute he's never possessed, he will not fail; he will perfectly match it.
Even if there are great beings blocking the way at the end of the road, it doesn't matter. You can see the way through the Eye of Truth, bypass it directly, and forcibly seize the authority.
but……
Is that really his path?
Faced with countless temptations, Lu Yu remained surprisingly calm. A slight smile played on his lips, and without any hesitation, he softly said:
"I am choosing the truth, but isn't the truth also choosing me?"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, all the true words before him shattered instantly, turning into nothingness, leaving only a mysterious character composed of what appeared to be cosmic glimmers of light.
Its shape resembles a key, a doorway, an illusory eye, and even... a vertical "一" (one).
Compared to many brilliant and sacred mantras, it does not shine, but it has always been there, quietly waiting for him.
The moment Lu Yu saw it, he understood its meaning.
【Door】!
"Good heavens, even mantras now have middlemen taking a cut!"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes. Everyone else had two words of truth, but when it came to him, he only had one word left.
I feel like I got ripped off!
"But why do I feel like there are still some illusory strokes after this mantra? Could it be that it's still in a growth phase, and not yet in its complete form?"
Despite his verbal complaints, Lu Yu decisively reached out and grasped this truth that belonged to him, merging it into the depths of his soul.
Without needing to study it slowly, Lu Yu instantly understood its current abilities.
He can open or close doors to anything tangible, whether it be flesh and blood, inorganic matter, or even a seal. As long as Lu Yu's spiritual energy is sufficient, he can forcibly open doors.
The higher the level, the more difficult it is to open the door, and the higher the failure rate.
But... you need to understand one thing!
This refers to a high failure rate, not that it cannot be opened!
In other words, it has no usage threshold!
If you're incredibly lucky, you can even ignore all probabilities.
"Now I'm finally starting to look like the leader of the sect."
Lu Yu stroked his chin, feeling that this ability had come at just the right time and was very suitable for use in future explorations of the ruins.
Even if the exploration fails, there's still a chance to escape, or to visit someone's treasure trove—perfect old sixth-level skill!
Moreover, he felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in the ability of [Truth - Gate].
For example, if the concept of a door is not limited to tangible objects, then wouldn't that mean...?
Lu Yu stopped releasing his thoughts; even with his current ability to speak, there was still a lot of room for development.
There are no useless truths, only useless users!
As Lu Yu made his choice, the will of the Supreme Mother River dissipated. For some reason, he felt that the other party seemed somewhat...
Disappointed?
Lu Yu didn't think much of it. His consciousness returned, and looking at his pet beast, he said with a smile, "Done."
"Cultivating people, that's wonderful!"
"Waaaaah!"
"roar!"
"Congratulations, my lord, on your advancement to monarch!"
"Roar!"
Little Spider, Mouse, Egg, Paper Knight, and Red Hare all cheered happily.
"Finally, we've reached the Moonlit Realm. The next step is to become a giant!"
Lu Yu was also deeply moved. In less than two years, he had completed a journey that others could not finish in two hundred years.
After advancing to the Radiant Moon realm, he would be considered a significant figure even in the entire main world.
With just a word, he could have a large number of small and medium-sized forces pledge their allegiance to him and serve him at his beck and call. If he so desired, he could now live a life of luxury comparable to that of a monarch of a small country.
but……
After being spoiled by the saintess, he indeed lost interest in cosmetics and common women.
"This is the result of everyone's hard work!"
Lu Yu said with a smile, and then took out a series of dark blue rhombus-shaped jade stones from the compensation money. These were called Soul Jade, a high-level soul food.
One is equivalent to five thousand ounces of pure soul. There are a total of eighty. Lu Yu took out forty and gave them to the rat. Two soul fruits were produced through the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
As the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree's strength increases, the requirements for condensing Soul Fruits also become much higher, but the corresponding effects are also stronger.
As long as you can control the surge in psionic energy, there are no side effects.
Click!
Lu Yu swallowed it whole, and his spiritual power rapidly increased, quickly breaking through to the peak of the first stage of the Bright Moon Realm. Then, relying on his forbidden position, he perfectly controlled the surge of spiritual energy.
"What a pity, I was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the mid-stage of the Radiant Moon Realm!"
Lu Yu felt regretful, but did not continue to consume it, because the [Sleeping Toad Oil] would be produced in two days, and it could be used to improve the proficiency of the [Celestial Breath] skill.
You can break through the level by then, so there's no need to waste it.
Only when you're in charge of a household do you realize how expensive firewood and rice are, and you have to be frugal.
Therefore, Lu Yu divided the remaining Soul Jade among himself.
Among them, the [Rancher] puzzle piece was divided into twenty pieces, which not only repaired the wounds caused by the opening of the Rancher form in the Mech King Domain, but also allowed one-fifth of the land to grow lush and green soul pasture.
At least it doesn't look so desolate anymore.
However, Lu Yu calculated that it could only support four divine monsters for four or five months at most. If the fine processing of the [Broken Gear] was taken into account, it would probably only last for a little over three months.
They're all money-devouring beasts!
The rat was given ten tokens, which were used to strengthen the foundation of the Soul Tree and enhance its strength.
Egg also received ten eggs. It bit them in one bite and poured them directly into the City of Reincarnation, which began to come alive again in the originally desolate city.
The power of reincarnation also surged, from a wisp to a strand, barely passable, and the invincibility time that resisted all damage increased from one second to two seconds.
From now on,
Lu Yu can be a real man for two seconds!
As for the Staff of the Dust Walker, after a democratic vote, it was distributed as zero.
We'll collect souls when we go to the battlefield!
Once the process was complete, Lu Yu's newly received compensation was gone before he could even enjoy it.
In the following time, he took out the Holy Moon Crystal to help his pet beast advance.
The first to be promoted was naturally Little Spider. As the team's number one scroll king and a high-level giant cub, he had long since reached the point of breaking through his limits.
In order to lay a solid foundation, the psionic energy was compressed several times to refine its purity.
Lu Yu was originally prepared to help direct the operation, but unexpectedly... the little spider saw a projection that looked exactly like it and went berserk!
He directly activated the Void Weaving Heaven, wielding the Void Sword and unleashing the Unbridled Tear Demon Eye, hacking his opponent to shreds in just three minutes.
The brutality of the scene left Lu Yu and the other pets speechless.
"Waaah!"
When the little spider came to its senses, it realized it had gone too far. Its face flushed red, and it turned its head away shyly.
Before the promotion, the little spider had prepared itself mentally, but after another "self" appeared, it used telepathy to tell it that it would take away everything that belonged to it, including its master.
In that instant, Spider-Man's bloodlust completely overwhelmed his reason.
Its owner is its whole world!
All those who try to take him away should be...
Humanitarian destruction!
(í_ì)
This is the little spider's greed; it won't even be for "itself".
Finally, the little spider successfully condensed a mantra, named "[Virtual Calamity]".
A special Legion-type mantra.
Within their control, they can open the Gate of Void Calamity, randomly granting all passing slave beasts one or more Void-based Legion buffs, significantly enhancing the Legion's combat power.
A wave of the hand can unleash a void calamity!
"Spider Sister becomes the Void Queen, and Mouse becomes the Rat Emperor; we both have bright futures!"
After hearing this, the mouse was also very envious. It turned its head and looked at the college student with clear and foolish eyes, the silent paper knight, and the silly Red Hare who only knew how to eat.
After confirming repeatedly that there were no signs of breakthrough, the mouse felt confident that it could do it again, so it happily accelerated the absorption of the Soul Jade, striving to become the second-in-command of the team.
Make the cultivator understand...
The hamster is the pillar of this family!
After nearly three hours of hard work, the Soul Jade was fully absorbed, the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree grew one meter taller, and the Soul Power fed back to the Mouse had reached its limit.
"Gentlemen, witness the glory of the mouse!"
The mouse stood up triumphantly, just as it was about to make a breakthrough, when suddenly...
Boom! Boom!
Egg and Paper Knight simultaneously unleashed their auras, condensing corresponding projections, and with overwhelming force, killed their opponent, each condensing their own mantra.
"This...this..." The speed at which they moved left the mouse dumbfounded, its brain turning into mush.
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
"Thank goodness I have Red Hare cushion..." Mouse thought to himself with relief. Just as he was about to seize the time to break through, a sudden gust of wind swept up beside him, blowing him away like a puddle of liquid, which smeared onto the barrier at the edge of the deck.
Slide down slowly!
The next second, with a "pop," it fell to the ground.
"What's going on!?"
A bad feeling crept into the mouse's heart. It quickly looked up and saw Red Hare walking step by step toward the deck, its aura surging.
Then, following the same process, he condensed a projection and killed it, successfully advancing to the Radiant Moon Rank, condensing his own mantra, and merging it into the Earthly Crown.
Upon seeing this, the mouse froze instantly, but soon, cracks appeared on the surface of the stone, and some fragments fell off, turning into a large number of mouse clones.
"Comrades, serve the people!"
"Labor is the most glorious thing!"
"But we can't sweep it too clean, otherwise only the rat itself will be left as trash!"
"..."
The rat clones donned white housekeeping suits, put on hats, picked up brooms, and began sweeping the deck. They would occasionally glance at the real rat behind them, whispering amongst themselves and mocking him mercilessly.
Several minutes later, the mouse finally came to its senses and cried out in despair:
"You did this on purpose!"
