Chapter 388 The Ultimate Darkness Descends! The Mentality of All Races Collapses! Lu Yu Makes a Fortune!
Although the arrival of the Dark Sun Watcher was quite a commotion, the light above the River of Sunlight was dim, and the surrounding scenery could only be seen through the glow of the carriage.
However, the Dark Sun Watcher was unlike any other sun carriage; it was exceptionally dim, with only its strange, long legs shining faintly. Otherwise, it was the same color as the Sun's Shadow River, creating an almost perfect mimicry.
Therefore, most of the geniuses were unaware that Lu Yu had arrived and were still busy resisting the attacks from the Shadow River mutant creatures.
For example, in the distance,
On the sun carriage of the Tai Sui who is helping people overcome difficulties.
Cangyun, a top leader of the Sui'e Canglong clan and a pure-blooded dragon, compressed his own flesh density through the super-level [Flesh and Blood Control] skill, transforming into a giant humanoid creature with a blue dragon head and a human body.
Standing a full three meters tall, with prominent horns and bulging muscles, its two azure dragon whiskers swirled with a dense aura of life force, and its eyes blazed with a bloodthirsty desire.
If he were in the outside world, he would undoubtedly be an incredibly imposing super boss.
But standing in the Sun Chariot at this moment is like having a water tank stuffed into a toothpick, it's stretched out so much that even reaching out a hand would squeeze the Tai Sui of the Calamity, making it look somewhat crowded and comical.
During the process, in order to deal with the attacks of the Shadow River creatures, one has to take action frequently, which often leads to situations where teammates are elbowed.
"hateful!"
Du'e Tai Sui was dizzy from the impact, and subconsciously compared these attacks to the Bible of Salvation, but he quickly realized what was happening, his gaze turning cold. All of this...
It's all because of Lu Yu!
Why...
Why didn't he just die obediently in the arena? Otherwise, the giant carriage summoned by the Nine-Headed Sun Crown would have been his.
How could things have turned out this way!
He was clearly the mastermind behind everything, he shouldn't be in such a sorry state...
"This is bad. Losing my physical body and tearing apart the Demon Seed of Calamity has made my soul too weak to control the misfortune. It has even started to cloud my judgment and become more and more irritable. If this continues, my spirit may get out of control."
Du'e Tai Sui realized that he had too many negative emotions that were beginning to erode his reason, so he quickly began to suppress them.
As a Fate-type character, one must always remain calm, otherwise one will become a puppet manipulated by fate.
Although he understood the reasoning, whenever he thought of that figure, the negative emotions in Du'e Tai Sui's heart surged like a tide, making him increasingly anxious and angry.
Cang Yun of the Azure Dragon Clan, standing to the side, spoke up:
"Your Highness, temporary success or failure is nothing. Even your father, His Majesty Sui'e, experienced defeat, but he has now become a true king, while his former opponents have long since turned into dust."
"I understand," Du'e Tai Sui replied calmly, though he was dissatisfied with Cang Yun's elder-like teaching attitude, he did not show it.
Because the other party was not simply a servant, but was incubated by his father and raised and taught by his side for hundreds of years. In fact, he was an adopted son and could be considered his "elder brother".
Over the years, he has served as the steward of the unlucky royal family, working diligently and holding a position in the unlucky kingdom that is only slightly lower than his.
Moreover, he will need Cangyun's power to have a chance to seize Lu Yu's body.
thump!
As they were talking, a strange fish seventy meters long burst out of the Shadow River. It had several shadow legs, three overlapping humanoid faces, and faint sunlight shimmering through the gaps in its scales.
"roar!"
Upon seeing the dazzling light of the sun chariot, its eyes filled with greed. It transformed into a fiery meteor, opened its blood-red maw, and crashed down.
It was a mid-tier Brilliant Moon mutant!
Click!
However, the moment it approached, the azure energy gathered and transformed into a giant dragon claw that gripped it, easily crushing its hard scales and piercing through its flesh.
"Hiss!"
The mutated fish in the Sun Shadow River was severely injured and struggled wildly in Cang Yun's hands, unleashing a vast spiritual energy counterattack, but it was firmly suppressed.
"It's good that Your Highness understands. You have a deep foundation and the backing of the True King, so you can fail countless times, while Lu Yu is like this fish... with only one chance."
"Next, I'm going to become his nightmare!"
As Cangyun finished speaking, the dragon claw tightened, crushing the mutated fish into a cloud of blood mist.
Chi Chi Chi!
A large amount of luminous oil was separated from it and dripped onto the white sun horse, causing it to grow considerably larger. Its flames burned fiercely, and it let out an excited neigh.
hum!
Golden light shone, and the carriage expanded, making Cangyun feel that it was no longer as cramped as before. After continuous hunting, the carriage, which was now comparable to the Crown of the Triple Sun, expanded its illumination range to fifty meters.
Wherever the golden light passed, it drove away many weak Shadow River creatures that approached, and on the surface of the Shadow River, a golden runic path was reflected, winding and pointing in a mysterious direction.
However, it becomes blurry beyond fifty meters.
It is clear,
This is the path to leave the River of Sunshine and enter the deeper ruins!
"Just as I expected, the spirits of the ruins will not allow Lu Yu to dominate. Next, we just need to collect enough Shadow River creature oil to strengthen the Sun Chariot, and we will have a chance to overtake them."
A look of joy flashed in Cangyun's eyes. He withdrew his arm, and then... accidentally elbowed Du'e Tai Sui in the face again!
With a "crack" sound, the latter's face caved in, his nasal bone broke, and he looked quite miserable.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this carriage is indeed too small!" Cangyun quickly apologized.
"It's nothing!" Du'e Tai Sui forced out an ugly smile, and a large number of misfortune tentacles wriggled, quickly repairing the injury, his gaze becoming increasingly gloomy.
Although this guy seems calm and collected, he retains the carefree nature of a dragon due to the ignorance of the laws of the year.
Although it's easier to control, it's really infuriating!
If Lu Yu saw this, he would probably comment, "Natural and cunning are the best counters."
To prevent Cangyun from continuing to attack his teammates, Du'e Tai Sui said, "While Lu Yu hasn't arrived yet, we should hurry up and upgrade the carriage. Ideally, I should be able to seize his body and memories, transform into an avatar, and take over that mysterious giant ship."
"Yes, sir!" Cangyun nodded.
Then, the two began to hunt Shadow River creatures with limited freedom.
On the other side, Dongfang Yuan stood at the edge of the carriage, his gaze calm. In front of him, a thousand-meter-long demonic whale carrying a flaming wheel leaped out, stirring up a vast wave of shadowy river. The fleshy eyeballs on its body wriggled and greedily stared at the humans in the carriage.
A pseudo-giant level whale!
Looking at the terrifying, distorted creature whose overwhelming power began to obscure the sun's radiance, Dongfang Yuan said calmly, "Your heart is too filthy!"
"Whoosh!"
The mutated demon whale's eyes were filled with madness. Just as it opened its massive jaws to devour something, a silver whale, ten thousand meters long and similar in appearance, appeared behind it and swallowed it whole.
Then he suddenly jumped down!
"Oh no!"
"Steady the carriage!"
"Everyone be careful!"
The historians on the carriage looked tense and on high alert, trying to help maintain stability and prevent the waves from throwing them off.
Click click click!
However, the moment the giant silver whale fell, it suddenly shattered from its head, turning into a shower of silver light that vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.
Only the torrential rain of oil continued to strengthen the flames of the thirty-two white sun horses, which began to impact the radiance of the seven-layered sun crown.
Illuminating a kilometer!
"The beast of the heart leaps into the abyss of the heart."
Without turning his head, Dongfang Yuan spoke calmly and composedly, which reassured the archaeologists and made them realize what the dominance of a top-tier prodigy truly meant.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts...
The difference between people is actually greater than the difference between a person and a dog!
The owners of the other carriages were all top geniuses from their respective races, and they quickly discovered the special effects of the Shadow River creatures.
Therefore, instead of rushing to leave along the path, they seized the time to expand their advantage before the demon king entered.
Through the images presented at the ruins, people outside witnessed the fierce competition between various forces.
Among them, Cangyun and Du'e Tai Sui made the human camp laugh out loud, while the non-human camp remained silent, mainly for fear of offending the Sui'e Kingdom, and could only suppress their laughter.
Since being defeated by Lu Yu, Du'e Tai Sui's prestige has plummeted, and he's become a source of memes everywhere.
Then, Dongfang Yuan's displayed strength amazed everyone.
The ability to materialize the mind is truly too overpowered!
To defeat an enemy, you must first defeat your own inner self, and then manipulate a more powerful inner beast manifested from within the enemy's heart.
In this world, how many people can constantly surpass themselves? There are always times when they slack off.
This is equivalent to being born in an invincible position!
"As expected of one of the most dazzling people in the human race, a trendsetter in this chaotic era." In fact, compared to Lu Yu, the alien races and the demon faction were more wary of Dongfang Yuan.
Although he was not the direct descendant of the True King, the Dongfang family was also a family of the True King, with the blood of the True King flowing through their veins. They had a profound foundation and were difficult to assassinate.
Much more troublesome than Lu Yu!
However, once the war of all races begins, several top prodigies, including Dongfang Yuan, will be subjected to large-scale attacks and massacres by all races, denying them the opportunity to advance to the level of ecological lords.
After all, in chaotic times, anything is possible. For example, it is not uncommon for prodigies to rise in rank and powerfully ascend to the throne.
"By the way, what is Lu Yu doing again?"
Someone raised a question, and the group began to search, soon spotting Lu Yu.
However, the scene that came into view made the human camp feel a sinking feeling, while the demons and alien races looked delighted.
That blond guy has finally been punished!
Amidst the ruins of the sun, above the River of Shadows.
The Dark Sun Watcher drifted slowly, with a large number of Shadow River creatures swimming past it without it noticing.
Occasionally, some would stop, but only out of curiosity; once they got close, they would scatter in fright.
"Is this the ecological radiation of the Mother River? Or... is the mutation of the Forbidden Sun because it wants to replace the Mother River?"
"Or perhaps, this ancient civilization wanted to cause trouble, so it was destroyed?"
Lu Yu looked at the Sun Shadow River, his mind filled with all sorts of questions, but no one could answer them for him.
Even Lilith wouldn't do.
The higher the rank, the less help she can provide. Moreover, in the extraordinary world, knowledge is power. Why should she give it to you for no reason?
Because he's handsome?
Although this is true... Lu Yu doesn't like to place his hopes on others, nor will he be obsessed with a possibility and let it affect his judgment.
Because higher-dimensional beings and mortals are fundamentally two different species, the higher the level of spirituality, the closer one is to the Mother River.
Just as ants cannot understand humans, this might simply be a manifestation of psionic energy, similar to the legendary qualities of an ancient giant or the royal majesty of a true king.
"It seems that I can only wait until my strength increases before using the Eye of Truth to investigate, since the Authority of Truth encompasses the power of omniscience."
While Lu Yu was pondering, Cui Han, who was standing to the side, couldn't wait any longer and took action to hunt down the mutants to help him maintain his advantage.
With a casual wave of his hand, space dissolves!
It instantly killed a solar aberration that had just surfaced and was at the early stage of the Radiant Moon realm. A large amount of oil fell onto the Dark Sun Watcher and was instantly absorbed.
"This is……"
However, what happened next made Cui Han's expression change.
After absorbing the oil from the solar aberration, the Dark Sun Watcher did not become brighter; instead, the brilliance on the Long-Legged Flame Wheel dimmed at a visible rate.
At first, Cui Han thought it was a coincidence, so he hunted a few more Shadow River Aberration Monsters that swam past him without paying any attention to them.
As oil was continuously poured on it, the brilliance of the Dark Sun Watcher decreased by several degrees, getting closer and closer to the Sun Shadow River, almost merging into one!
This discovery caused everyone to look on with seriousness.
"What exactly is going on?" Cui Han frowned.
Could it be that, as previously speculated, Lu Yu's score was so high that it caused a bug in the relic that had endured for so long?
If it weren't for the guidance of the radiant light, how could they have found their way out?
Yu Xiyan's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.
Luo Qingyue couldn't help but complain, "This relic system is terrible, it's not even as good as my old computer."
The dark witch stared at the pitch-black River of Shadows and suddenly said, "Aren't we going to be trapped here and die?"
The moment the words left his lips, the atmosphere fell silent.
Qi Wei's gaze turned serious, and he seemed to regret it...
If I had known better, I should have copied and uploaded the video of the Myriad Races Arena that I filmed before coming in, and then scheduled its release.
Even if he dies, at least the viewers who have been bombarded with trashy videos can have a taste of the finer things and experience the fear of being dominated by a master of arrogance!
Even if he dies, he will leave behind the legend of "Mighty Boy" in the photography world, and perhaps there is hope that he will return as a fantasy species.
I was careless. I need to be more careful about this in my next life! This time, Chi Yue Meng didn't rush to poke Lu Yu. Instead, she stared blankly at the vast and boundless River of Sun Shadows.
Red Lotus frowned in thought. She never liked to be pessimistic when faced with problems; she preferred to find solutions.
Alliance leader Chen Wei remained silent throughout, feeling like he had been ripped off.
What a terrible misfortune!
You really can't blindly trust anyone!
Finally, Cui Han broke the heavy atmosphere and said, "It's not that there's no way. If all else fails, we can find a carriage belonging to the human race and help them grow stronger. Then we can leave this place by following them, but we might lose our advantage..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Lu Yu interrupted him with a smile and said, "Teacher Cui, in my opinion, we actually have a greater advantage."
Cui Han was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "You have a solution?"
After all, this man in front of them is known as the "Yellow Hair of the Secret Realm"!
Lu Yu did not answer directly, but said meaningfully, "Let's continue collecting oil; it's still too shiny now."
Too bright?
This scene was witnessed by outsiders, and the alien faction was finally able to hold their heads high, seeing this blond-haired guy get his comeuppance.
However, given past experiences, many people felt that Lu Yu might actually have a solution, but as time went on, the advantages of the others continued to increase.
Several princes, including Dongfang Yuan, have begun to strive for the glory of the Eightfold Sun Crown.
The Tai Sui of the Crossing Calamity also began to make a comeback and surpass, gathering the brilliance of the Sixfold Sun Crown.
They are all prepared to gather radiance at the level of the Nine Heavens Sun Crown, which will not increase the number of seats, but will enhance the permissions within the ruins.
However, as the light shone brighter, the weak Shadow River creatures became fewer and fewer, and most of them were high-level, extreme, or even pseudo-giant creatures of the Radiant Moon.
Not everyone can perfectly handle danger. Several sun chariots have been overturned. Although some people have paid a heavy price to repel them, much of the radiance has been swallowed up.
It was even dimmer than before we entered!
The Shadow River Aberration feeds on light.
Furthermore, the battle range of pets must be within the radiant area, otherwise they will be corrupted by the spirituality of the Sun Shadow River, which is extremely dangerous.
This has led many people to choose to follow the path deeper, preparing to leave the Sun Shadow River and enter the next stage.
On the other hand, as Lu Yu was continuously drenched in the mutated grease, the radiance on the Dark Sun Monitor became so dim that even the screen was no longer visible.
It even began to actively devour all brilliance.
In the end, all you could see was a dark shadow wriggling around. If this continued...
Either follow others and lose the advantage accumulated in previous matches.
Or... it's only a matter of time before they get lost in the River of Sunlight, and join the rest of the aberrations.
"It seems that his method is just to stabilize morale and buy time," a member of the alien race said with a shake of his head.
"Indeed, since the River of Shadows has no clear rules, it's a huge weakness for Lu Yu!"
"I thought I was going to see Lu Yu sweep everything aside again, but I didn't expect that the advantage would be evened out. No one can have smooth sailing all the time."
"It's a pity we couldn't notify the others inside, otherwise we could have sniped the blond guy and trapped him completely in the mysterious Sun Shadow River."
Many alien races and monster leaders felt regret, but their smiles grew increasingly unrestrained.
"This is troublesome!"
The human race's expressions were solemn, while the Star Phoenix Ancestor's gaze was indifferent.
Indeed, no matter how strong the wisdom of mortals is, they are helpless in the face of the overwhelming force of ultimate power.
"Master, do your best!" Yuan Ji bit her lower lip tightly.
As for Jiang Ji, she had already begun to silently pray for Lu Yu.
Time continues to pass,
"Damn it, it's all that unfilial granddaughter's fault. She makes me, at my age, have to work so hard. I'm the one who's clinging to her coattails!" Luo Zisong drove the Sun Chariot, illuminating a hundred-meter radius, and urged the Constant Crane to continue hunting Shadow River creatures.
He turned to look at Wu Shao, the alliance leader from the Douwang Domain, who had a strange expression, and waved his hand, saying, "It's normal not to understand. You'll understand when you reach my age!"
"..." Wu Shao remained silent. Was this kid even a fraction of his age?
Reversing the Heavenly Gang!
However, he didn't mind and started hunting mutants with Luo Zisong. The former was powerful and specialized in physical enhancement and possessing pets. He had fused his hands with the legendary trait - the Fighting Dragon Arm.
Every action is a natural disaster.
The latter, with the constant cooperation of the crane, always maintains its most perfect state.
They continued to venture deeper into the sun's path and soon encountered another sun chariot.
Luo Zisong originally wanted to bypass the area to avoid conflict.
However, when he looked up, he saw Luo Zisong, Hengding Crane, and Wu Shao, who looked exactly like him.
Luo Zisong fell silent.
Are you Luo Zisong? Then who am I?
Is it Luo Laodeng?
"The Brotherhood of Faceless!"
Thoughts flashed by in an instant, and Luo Zisong decisively launched an attack. The Hengding Immortal Crane danced, and the Hengding Immortal Light swept away, transforming into a Yin-Yang Great Millstone, shattering the illusory mirror.
The Art of Peeling Back Faces—A Mirror Reflecting All Forms!
It can present a mirror that reflects everything, and whoever comes will see only themselves, just like looking in a mirror.
It is one of the top-tier stealth techniques!
"Huh, we've been spotted?"
Eighth Finger chuckled, and the illusory ghost mask behind him spat out a syringe, shattering it.
Her meekness and subservience in front of Lu Yu doesn't mean... just anyone can come and fight her!
Although Luo Zisong has good talent, he needs to be at least at the peak of the Radiant Moon realm, or even a pseudo-giant, to qualify.
The Void Mask attempted to continue its attack but was repelled by the Alliance Giants.
"I think we can kill them and then try to get closer to Lu Yu," suggested the fourth finger, disguised as Luo Zisong.
He was quite interested in Lu Yu, who could see through the existence of plunder and the power of cause and effect, and who could also play tricks on him.
I'd love to test the waters and continue this battle of wits.
"I have no objection," Eighth Finger said with a grin.
After all, Lu Yu was her greatest source of amusement.
Because a large number of its bodies had been buried by the Paper Knight, the shrunken Ninth Finger spoke up: "We can go to the source and wait. For now, let's accumulate radiance first."
As for the butcher... he has no right to speak.
Finally, by a vote of two to one, they chose to kill Luo Zisong, peel off his mask, and then try to toy with Lu Yu.
"This is troublesome!" Luo Zisong and Wu Shao were also on high alert.
Just as the two sides were about to fight, a dark mass, even deeper than the Sun's Shadow River, suddenly crawled over, a full kilometer long, making them feel an immense sense of oppression.
It's definitely a big one among aberrations.
"An eternal giant? Or an ecosystem master?"
Everyone tensed up, and just as they were about to react, they discovered that the other party had simply swum across from the bottom of the river.
They actually ignored them!
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, Fourth Finger saw his own Sun White Horse begin to stir restlessly.
"How is that possible!?"
The next second, the light on its body was drawn away and then quickly dimmed, almost extinguished, and it even lost sight of Luo Zisong dozens of meters away.
The three God Finger members of the Faceless Brotherhood were numb. Their painstakingly accumulated Sevenfold Sun Crowns had returned to their initial state... no, to a level even lower than the Firstfold Sun Crown.
What exactly is that thing that just appeared at the bottom of the river?
But before they could think it through, a large number of weak Shadow River Aberrations converged and swept in once again.
Luo Zisong was also stunned, looking at the dim carriage of the Faceless Brotherhood with a shocked expression.
Could this newly appeared be an ancient aberration from the Sun's Shadow River?
Startled, he decided to make a quick getaway.
Old Deng's survival skill - running away is the best strategy!
He began to move quickly along the path where the light appeared, but he did not notice that the huge shadow beneath the water behind him had quietly circled back and followed him, always maintaining a distance of a thousand meters.
Along the way, Luo Zisong saw more sun carriages, including powerful figures such as princes and the Tai Sui of the Crossing Calamity. Without exception, they all cursed angrily because their sun white horses were visibly losing their brilliance and becoming dim, needing to regenerate.
"How terrifying!"
This made Luo Zisong even more panicked, confirming that the terrifying thing was nearby, so he quickened his pace of escape.
We must survive!
Inside the Dark Sun Watcher, the atmosphere was heavy.
Luo Qingyue suddenly stood up, unable to contain herself any longer, and roared at Lu Yu:
"I only have one card left, I'm not convinced you can beat me with thirteen cards!"
"A royal flush! A straight flush! Shouting won't work in front of me. You owe more than two million in debt. If you can't come up with the money, you'll be forced off the table," Lu Yu said with a smile.
Luo Qingyue froze instantly, muttering, "I don't believe it... I don't believe it..."
"Waaah!"
The little spider, seeing this, couldn't bear it and came over to comfort her, which moved Luo Qingyue deeply, and then...
She saw the "Little Spider Bank Loan" offered by the other party. According to the description, the interest rate was very low, and it only required a 90% return and 130% payment.
The paper knight standing nearby chimed in with a theatrical voice, "That's so generous! I'm tempted to borrow some money myself!"
Chivalry tells it to be honest... but not for gamblers.
"The acting is so fake!"
Luo Qingyue mentally complained, wanting to refuse righteously, but she felt... she was only a little bit away from winning back.
Once the accounts are settled, I'll retire from this life of crime!
Yu Xiyan, on the other hand, maintained a break-even stance, accompanying the game throughout.
On the other side, the Dark Witch silently lifted her skirt and discovered that her little treasure was almost gone. She quietly moved aside, no longer daring to play.
This man's luck is terrifying!
Cui Han stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, feeling that they seemed more like they were on vacation than exploring ruins.
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "The method you mentioned... is this it?"
"Is there a problem?" Lu Yu asked back, leaving Cui Han speechless.
Lu Yu stood up, stretched his limbs, and looked at the Dark Sun Watcher, which had become as deep as a black hole and was beginning to transform, and nodded in satisfaction.
The reason he wasn't in a hurry was because of his carriage's ability; although it didn't emit light, it possessed the power to devour all light.
This naturally includes the radiance of the other sun chariots, and it doesn't require contact; you only need to be a certain distance away.
As the level of oils and fats continues to rise, this range continues to expand.
Moreover, like the Herdsman, it has a sealed space and can dive. Combined with the mouse's stealth ability, it is essentially an invisible submarine.
This means that Lu Yu doesn't need to fight head-on at all; he can simply sneak over, absorb the radiance, and then leave.
But that's far from enough.
Lu Yu's plan and strategy is...
He devours everyone to refine the sun's radiance, but without exhausting the resources, he allows them to continue refining their radiance and return to work for him repeatedly, following a producer model, thus becoming...
The "ultimate darkness" in the River of Sunlight!
