Chapter 370 The Blood of the Progenitor! The Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent! Egg's Mantra!
"This guy's not even bothering to pretend anymore!"
The alien races and the demon faction harbored resentment in their hearts.
They keep referring to themselves as victims, then immediately turn around and mock them!
Faced with such humiliation, many alien geniuses felt their blood boil with rage, their hearts filled with fury. They clenched their fists, and then...
They tried to quietly retreat to the back of the crowd, only to find that others had retreated much faster, creating a blank area.
Just kidding, what's a little embarrassment? Haven't you seen how Yu Jinsheng, Tuotian, and more than a hundred alien geniuses all lost their lives?
These important figures, whom they usually looked up to, were brutally beaten to death in a way that was enough to become a lifelong nightmare!
Rather than blindly charging forward and sacrificing yourself in vain, it's better to remember this humiliation, improve your strength, and take revenge later. Don't underestimate the young...
and many more,
It seemed that they were the old people. Lu Yu had only awakened his talent two years ago. Thinking of this, these ordinary geniuses from other races felt even sadder.
Although the top geniuses did not back down for the sake of their pride, they remained silent.
If I'm not chosen, I'll act all high and mighty!
If you get chosen... then find a way to surrender!
Now, even if Du'e threatens him, it's useless, since he can't control the subjects of other True Kingdoms.
Being respectful is giving you face; what can you do if you don't?
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!
If the True King of Calamity were to come, he could command them, but even if he sent them to attack... they wouldn't be able to defeat Lu Yu!
At most, they'd go inside that mysterious throne and play the flute, while the fatter ones would bang the gong.
Form a banquet band!
"If this continues, this guy might be blessed by the spirituality of the chaotic era and successfully reach the top!" The Golden Winged Giant and the Four Seasons Tree Giant frowned.
Given Lu Yu's current strength, it would be virtually impossible for anyone below the level of an ancient giant to kill him.
Moreover, this guy's style of doing things is even more insane than the evil god cult, he is unscrupulous and can be called the devil among devils.
If it weren't for their opposing racial stances, they wouldn't want to fight Lu Yu to the death. But opportunists never have a good ending, so they could only try to assassinate him after the duel.
"This is troublesome."
Looking at the lifeless scene, the leader of the Heart-Stealing Locust Clan felt heavy-hearted. The morale of the alien races and the demon faction had been shattered by Lu Yu.
Unless a top genius or even a prince intervenes, no one can stop him.
But recalling the mysterious appearance of the Mother River phantom that had appeared before, the Heart-Stealing Locust Chieftain guessed that this kid had probably dug a big pit and was waiting for someone to jump in.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Sui'e Royal Palace not far away. He used to be full of awe for the Sui'e royal family, but every time His Highness was full of confidence, he was trampled on by Lu Yu.
It has already begun to shake his resolve.
The once revered Sui'e royal family now seems to be nothing special.
"It seems the 'Golden Light of Martial World' will truly belong to that kid."
In contrast to the dejection of the alien races, the human race was in a state of jubilation!
"As expected, it's that blond guy from the Great Domain again! He smashed through the old genius from the alien realm with his bare fists!"
"Arrogant enough, mad enough, this is the spirit of a human beast tamer. Our generation must cross the abyss and fulfill the dreams that our ancestors could not achieve."
"Lu Yu's crown of the sun behind his head is almost at the ninth level, so as long as he doesn't encounter a royal prince, first place is basically guaranteed!"
"Fake arena matches, every punch feels real; real arena matches, feeding on all races, more brutal than monsters, it's so exhilarating."
"..."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Although most people knew that they had been affected by Lu Yu and had lost their eligibility to participate, even if they did go on stage, they would have to face the strongest opponent.
But every alien genius who dies now could become a formidable enemy on the battlefield in the future.
Especially those wielding the Great Wisdom Sword, if they encounter Tuotian on the battlefield, they will either die or become fools.
The mere thought of that possibility sent chills down everyone's spine.
Lu Yu's role this time was comparable to that of a million beast tamers, directly causing one-fifth of the younger generation of all races to perish!
"Well done!"
Many human leaders nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Lu Yu.
Most importantly, his measured advance and retreat left all races speechless, and incidentally helped the Ancient Zen Domain vent its anger.
The Star Phoenix Ancestor looked down at the figure sitting on the throne of the Fool with a calm gaze. His eyes were deep and still arrogant, but the previous contempt was gone.
"This kid is truly full of miracles!"
Cui Han looked at him with admiration, feeling that he really needed to communicate with the Alliance to see if he could report to the Supreme Council and ask the True King to remove the interference of the relic's spiritual power from his body.
Such a promising child cannot be wasted halfway through!
"However, all of this will have to wait until the exploration of the ruins begins." Cui Han thought to himself. It seemed that Lu Yu had the most spots available.
Unfortunately, the strongest one on the border is still trying to reach the Eternal Blazing Sun Rank, and we don't know when he will be able to come.
"Excellent! As expected of my strongest assistant!"
Luo Qingyue has already started taking photos and posting them on her WeChat Moments, attracting a lot of attention from her friends.
"Young people love to make a fuss and take other people's glory for themselves. Is that interesting?"
Luo Zisong looked at his granddaughter with disappointment, then sent the video he had filmed to the vice principal, instructing him to begin building the Lu Yu Memorial Hall in Dayuan City.
Adults can directly take advantage of these deals!
The first step... is to expand the school, and then create one hundred pure bronze statues to place in various corners as enrollment guides.
As for why gold wasn't used?
It's not that I don't have money, it's just that I'm afraid that shameless kid will accuse me of violating his portrait rights and take everything away.
"Wait, copper isn't safe either. Make them change it to copper foil!" As Luo Zisong sent the message, Hengding Crane, its eyes filled with a look of relief and maternal warmth, cried out, "Screech!"
This kid is really great!
After saying this, the Constant Crane felt it couldn't keep discouraging its old friend, so it stretched out its wing and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him:
"Hey!"
You were about one tenth...one percent as good as him when you were young!
At this point, Hengding Crane turned its head away somewhat guiltily, as it was its first time falsifying data and it wasn't very skilled at it.
Actually, it's less than one percent; Luo Zisong is very weak.
"..." Luo Zisong remained silent, thinking it would be better not to offer any comfort at all.
What use are you, you bird?!
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
hum!
Amidst the bickering on both sides, the Duel Arena burst forth with brilliance, and a black pillar of light coalesced, causing all three factions to hold their breath.
"Who could it be?"
The Howling Banshee, the Two-Headed Demon, and the Blood Sea Heavenly Beast Clan were several top prodigies, all with solemn expressions, none of them confident in withstanding the mind-lowering aura of the Seat of the Fool.
Once someone gets close, they'll definitely get their head smashed!
If the distance is increased, the mechanical Qilin flowing with pseudo-infinite energy has a firepower suppression that is no stronger than theirs.
His Highness the Prince is absolutely certain to win, but Lu Yu refuses to fight, which is the most frustrating thing for all the alien races.
Despicable Alliance members!
"Why don't you let me do it!" Ghost Seventeen of the Twelve-Armed Demon Clan laughed wildly, his eyes eager to try, which made many alien races suddenly realize what was going on.
Yeah, so what if they become less intelligent?
When the twelve-armed demons enter a berserk state, their intelligence naturally decreases while their combat power increases, tearing apart any living thing they see!
What's wrong with lowering it a bit more?
For him, it was actually a buff that strengthened him, making him qualified to challenge this great demon king.
The alien races hadn't noticed and were no longer thinking about killing Lu Yu; they were already quite remarkable for simply blunting his edge.
boom!
The black beam of light fell, but it missed Ghost Seventeen, causing him to scoff.
It didn't fall on any of the top geniuses, but instead hit its mark...
The Palace of Calamity!
"It's actually His Highness Prince Du'e!"
Everyone was initially taken aback, then shook their heads, showing no surprise.
In this way, Lu Yu, who holds a huge advantage, will not accept the challenge unless he is foolish, and can easily withdraw from the scene.
But unexpectedly, Lu Yu did not leave. He leaned against the seat of the fool, his gaze playful.
This guy...
Could it be that they've become so arrogant as to want to challenge the royal family?
Just as everyone was in shock, a voice rang out:
"It wasn't Prince Du'e who made the move!"
The one who spoke was none other than the chieftain of the Heart-Stealing Locust Clan. Looking at the ever-spreading darkness and shadows within the Palace of Calamity, a figure flashed through his mind, and he said in a deep voice:
"So it was him..."
Click click click!
The palace gates opened, and endless darkness surged forth, like a mighty river that eroded everything in its path.
"save……"
Several geniuses from advanced races were caught off guard and splashed by the dark water. They couldn't even call for help before being melted and becoming part of the dark river.
"What is this!?"
This scene frightened many alien races and demons, who began to retreat in horror. Several top geniuses seemed to have realized something, looked up, and saw a figure walking from the depths of the palace.
Splash!
With each step, the heavy creaking of shackles could be heard, giving all the alien races a suffocating sense of oppression.
step……
Two steps...
Three steps...
They soon appeared before everyone.
They also resemble humanoids, but are half-human and half-snake, with a large body and heavy, intertwined chains of misfortune tendrils that pierce through their flesh and blood, and their snake bodies are covered with wounds.
He had no scales, but was covered with rotten black feathers, with tattered black wings growing on his back. A pair of hollow holes with gouged-out eyes stared at everything. He stood on the river of darkness and was shrouded in the beams of light of the dueling arena.
"Snake-people?" Qi Wei, who was still filming, looked incredulous.
Although the Serpent People have many branches, most of them seem to be intermediate or advanced races, with only the Azure Sea Serpent People and two other Serpent People races appearing to be among the top-tier races.
This guy doesn't fit the characteristics of those three snake-people either, and he's much stronger.
"That's not the Serpent People, it's the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent Clan. Did you waste your time learning ancient history and the history of alien races? Go back and copy those two books ten times for me."
Yu Xiyan's gentle voice rang out, but it made Qi Wei feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Because even if you lay these two books side by side, they're taller than him. Who would bother studying these things for no reason?
"Cousin, this is... oh no, I mean, I love copying books, but what's the difference between the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent Clan and ordinary serpent people?" Qi Wei wanted to struggle a bit more, but looking at those dark blue eyes, he immediately changed his tune. "Because they are a fantasy species born in the forbidden zone of life, the [Eternal Dark Sea], and do not belong to the myriad races opposite the Great Abyss, but they are recorded in ancient history." Yu Xiyan nodded in satisfaction and explained with a smile, "The [Eternal Dark Sea] is located below the Pure White Realm. Although it is called a sea, it is actually a dark ecosystem created by a mysterious and great being."
It is filled with a dark tidal ecosystem, where dark energy condenses and washes over everything every moment. Light does not exist there, and even if it appears, it will be swallowed up instantly. It is pitch black, and even mental energy will be covered by darkness.
Without specialized eye techniques, it's impossible to see anything inside. You'd be constantly hunted and devoured by the monsters bred in this dark ecosystem. All traces and secrets would be buried in the darkness; or rather, it itself would be a huge secret.
In fact, Yu Xiyan knew who had opened up the [Eternal Dark Sea], but that guy was special and she couldn't reveal his name at this stage.
"Just thinking about this kind of ecosystem gives me the creeps. But cousin, what's this 'Fantasy Species'? Aren't they life forms born from fantasy? It seems like each one is unique. You also said that the Eye Demons are just a kind of Fantasy Species that reproduce. Could it be that they can also perpetuate their species?"
Although Qi Wei served as Yu Xiyan's lackey, he did so for nothing. Over the past two years, he has learned a great deal of esoteric knowledge and is quite erudite.
Yu Xiyan looked at Qi Wei with admiration and continued, "Because the first Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent was born from the spiritual imagination of the [Eternal Dark Sea]. It is a creation of the world's spirituality, naturally sacred, and in some ways no less than the ancient races."
"A top-tier world spirit giving birth to such a being, isn't that the Child of the World?" Qi Wei was shocked, but Yu Xiyan continued:
"Only the first Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent is known as the Progenitor Serpent. The rest are merely offspring conceived from its original essence and blood. After all, while it is difficult for higher life forms to conceive offspring, it is not difficult to create offspring. In essence, they also belong to the category of fantasy life forms."
Thus, the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent Clan was born. They possess the [Dark Eyes] bestowed upon them by the Primordial Serpent, which allows them to see through darkness, and the racial talent [Great Black Heaven Curse Mark], which grants them control over the power of the Eternal Dark River and is close to a legendary skill.
Individually powerful and protected by the Primordial Serpent, they rapidly established a magnificent civilization in the Eternal Dark Sea, which could not be an exaggeration to call an ecological kingdom. They could have ruled this ecological world forever, until…”
"The arrival of the [Night Without Light]," Luo Zisong continued, surprised by Yu Xiyan's knowledge, even knowing such a secret. He continued, "Ten years ago, the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent Clan, for some unknown reason, launched an assassination attempt when the Ancestral Serpent was at its weakest during its periodic molting and dormancy. They successfully extracted a drop of its heart's blood, but this awakened the serpent. In its rage, all the ecological masters and giants involved in the plan turned to ashes, and the entire kingdom was destroyed in an instant."
Whether out of mercy or punishment, the primordial serpent did not annihilate its surviving descendants, but instead gouged out their eyes and banished them from the Eternal Darkness Sea into the Abyss.
Relying on their formidable strength, they quickly established a new clan, but after their origins were revealed, they were soon targeted by the Doomed Tai Sui royal family.
To protect his people, Quetzal, the strongest genius of the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent Clan, challenged him. He ultimately suppressed Quetzal at the cost of slight injuries to himself, and Quetzal, along with all his clansmen, became prisoners. As for the drop of [Progenitor Serpent Blood], its whereabouts remain unknown.
"His Highness the Royal Family is slightly injured..." Qi Wei was shocked, understanding the significance of this. Being able to injure His Highness the Royal Family proved that he had surpassed the level of a top-tier genius and reached the level of a prodigy.
It surpasses even the divine power of Tuotian!
Although he was speechless at the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent Clan's reckless betrayal—why would they have to throw away such a good life—Qi Wei still had a question: "Principal, how do you know so much?"
"Because the Alliance also has quite a few informants on the other side of the Great Abyss collecting intelligence on the alien races, many of whom are my old buddies." Luo Zisong rolled his eyes at him.
There is no omniscient or omnipotent person in this world; it is just that old men are carrying the burden.
"interesting!"
Lu Yu also heard Luo Zisong's introduction and looked at him with great interest, understanding what Du'e meant by "dark materials".
Therefore, the moment Du'e intervened, Lu Yu proactively released his permissions to cooperate.
This is... a modified version of a money-giving boy by the ex-husband!
Beneath the paper knight's cross-shaped mask, his black, fiery pupils burned fiercely, his gaze filled with a hint of nostalgia.
"The Sea of Eternal Darkness... seems to be the place where my mother was born."
Splash!
Quetzal raised his head, the chains on his body rattling, his bloody hole staring in Lu Yu's direction. Although he had lost his sight, he could still perceive the darkness of everything.
The stronger life force is, the more intense the darkness it represents!
It is divided into darkness, eternal darkness, and boundless darkness.
But in his perception, Lu Yu was...
Boundless darkness!
Although it was only a prototype, it seemed that not only light, but also rules, matter, and even the soul would be completely devoured.
Defeating them will be incredibly difficult!
"This guy is strong!"
Quetzal felt immense pressure, but he did not back down. Without turning his head, he said, "Du'e, is it true that if I kill or severely injure him, you will spare my people?"
Du'e's indifferent voice echoed from the palace of Sui'e: "You have no right to bargain with me. If you can come back alive, it will prove your worth. Of course, you can also die, then they will lose the meaning of being imprisoned by me."
Interspersed between his words were numerous painful groans, like the hissing of snakes, causing Quetzal to clench his fists, his knuckles cracking, yet he remained pale and powerless. He understood the other's meaning, which finally culminated in a single sentence:
"I understand."
So he let the black pillar of light carry him into the Dusk Arena. The sun's rays shone on him, and feeling the warmth they brought, he smiled slightly.
Feel……
My younger siblings and the rest of the clan will probably like this warm and cozy feeling.
Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Yu and said calmly:
"Quetzal, the Eternal Dark Feathered Serpent!"
"The Imperial Clan, Lu Yu!" Lu Yu replied succinctly.
Quetzal paused for a moment, then laughed heartily: "A very imposing title; humans certainly deserve it."
Lu Yu had a pretty good first impression of this guy and asked curiously:
How confident are you?
After a moment's thought, Quetzal said, "Fifty percent certain."
The main reason is that the Fool's Seat is too oppressive, so he needs to suppress it from a distance; otherwise, he estimates that his chances of winning are higher.
"Wrong, it's 10%!"
Lu Yu's voice rang in his ears, startling Quezar.
So fast!
He looked up and saw a huge golden figure appear before him, with hundreds of dragon eyes staring indifferently at him. The dragon claw, in the shape of a pistol, touched his brow.
hum!
The light of dusk converged and transformed into a leaping point, like a revolving lantern lighting up before death, announcing that death was imminent.
A voice came from beneath the ferocious dragon's head:
"Bang!"
boom!
Before the words had even finished, the air tremor caused by Lu Yu's rapid crossing of the distance exploded first, compressing the airflow and transforming it into a tangible wind sickle that swept through the air, a hurricane that erupted along with the twilight light that annihilated everything.
Ultimate Technique - End Pointing Gun!
Ultimate Technique - Shield of the Dark River!
Quetzal's rich combat experience allowed him to react swiftly. The dark river surrounding him erupted, transforming into a massive shield covered in feathers, which blocked his path by millimeters.
However, because it was too weak, Lu Yu's Eye of Truth easily caught the loopholes and forcibly broke through and punctured it.
boom!
A golden pillar of light rose, and a terrifying shockwave spread. Quetzal was instantly thrown back, tumbling several times before seizing the opportunity to slap the ground with his hand. Using the recoil, he adjusted and stabilized himself in mid-air, creating a distance of several thousand meters.
He felt the dense swarms of twilight insects frantically gnawing at his feathers, causing him intense pain. In addition, the darkness representing Lu Yu was rapidly approaching, covering a hundred meters with each step.
It was like the gaping maw of an abyss opening its fangs, bringing an unimaginable sense of oppression.
Quetzal's expression was solemn. He stretched out his hand towards Lu Yu's direction and whispered:
"The River of Darkness!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the vast, dark river, like a roaring dragon, swept towards Lu Yu, melting everything in its path.
Only eternal darkness remains unchanged!
"I will withstand... all the adversities that my lord encounters!"
The next second, the paper knight appeared in front of Lu Yu. Countless pieces of paper flew around and transformed into a magnificent paper Great Wall, stretching for thousands of meters.
boom!
Upon collision, the pristine white paper unleashed an unimaginable suction force, forcefully devouring the ink-like [River of Darkness], transforming it into countless black sheets of paper, which quickly folded into a massive dark paper boat.
It surged upstream against the ever-flowing River of Darkness, ignoring the corrosive power of darkness, and hurtled towards Quetzal.
"What!?"
Quetzal had never seen such a bizarre paper power before, which could forcibly devour his dark attacks and return them. However, he quickly made a response after a moment of thought.
Click!
The tattered wings behind him stretched out and transformed into a huge dark sword, which slashed down fiercely, instantly splitting him in two.
Before Quetzal could even catch his breath, the Paper Knight's belated reminder rang in his ears:
"Chivalry teaches me to be honest, and this is paper art—the rotating ship!"
Before the words were finished, beams of light burst forth from the paper boat that had been split in two and was now enveloped in endless darkness, displaying the mantra "[True Word - Reincarnation]".
Under the power of the Word, the extreme darkness instantly transformed into the radiance of daylight, becoming a ship of light that crashed into Quetzal and devoured him.
Rumble!
A terrifying beam of light rose, and the aftershocks of the explosion swept across dozens of miles, like a sunflower blooming, scorching everything in its path.
The Paper Knight, witnessing this scene, believed that even the enemy would applaud his honesty.
"Secret Technique - River of No Light!"
As the whispers rang out, a river so dark it had lost all color appeared, swallowing the light of day and instantly converging into a single point.
In the center, Quetzal appeared, his body scorched by the daylight, looking rather disheveled, and his breathing becoming heavy.
Lu Yu looked at him and said calmly, "Bound by shackles and severely injured, you don't even have a 10% chance of winning. Do you still want to keep struggling?"
If it were the fully-formed Quetzalcoatl, he would be slightly stronger than Tuotian, because he wields the power of darkness and has greater destructive power.
However, he had been suppressed by Du'e for too long, and was not only seriously injured, but also shackled, leaving him with less than 70% of his strength.
Facing Lu Yu now, there is only the outcome of being crushed.
"If you don't do something just because you can't, then you're acting like a woman!"
Quetzal shook his head, and the shackles of misfortune on his body began to burn, turning into a condensed, persistent blackish-red mist that seeped into his body.
This power came from the unlucky Tai Sui, which quickly repaired his injuries and mental strength, and put him into a special state of excitement, greatly enhancing his recovery ability.
In Lu Yu's previous life, Tai Sui was known as the Flesh Lingzhi. In this world, the spirituality of the Misfortune Tai Sui is highly refined, and any part of its body is a rare tonic.
If they weren't royalty, they would have been hunted down long ago, but now they use all living beings as soil to nourish themselves.
Quetzal looked at his formidable foe Lu Yu without hesitation. His heart began to pound violently, emanating a suffocating dark aura far beyond his rank.
Many industry giants and ecosystem leaders immediately focused their attention and made the connection...
The lifeblood of the Primordial Serpent is unexpectedly found inside Quetzal!
Quetzal looked at Lu Yu and said calmly, "From now on, I will give it my all..."
"Very well, you've finally made me take this a little bit seriously!"
Quetzal was interrupted by Lu Yu before he could finish speaking, leaving him stunned and speechless. He felt the dialogue was...
It seems to be his!
However, Lu Yu didn't say much. On his dragon armor, the power of the true words belonging to Egg erupted, called - Fusion.
Its ability is simple: it allows two entities to fuse.
For example, the forces of life and death merge to form reincarnation, which governs the life and death of all things.
It can also be combined with a paper knight to serve as a living weapon, and then superimposed on the master.
hum!
The power of the mantra swiftly enveloped the paper knight, unleashing a dazzling divine radiance, and it entered the second phase of the BOSS battle ahead of everyone else...
"Great Bright Dragon Rider!"
