Chapter 217 Tearing Apart the Eternal Sun! Twilight Dragon Fist! The Land of a Thousand Faces! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The underground of the Lin Family Manor
It turns out that a colossus of millennia is hidden here!
If this gets out, it will cause an earthquake throughout the entire alliance!
Many people in the Dark Star Region, in particular, will lose sleep. The forces that seized the Lin family's assets will return everything with interest overnight and come to their door begging for forgiveness!
The Lin family of Xingwan will once again become a top-tier family in the alliance, receiving substantial resource support and being accepted by the top star families, working together to create a better future!
It sounds fantastical, but that's what a giant is all about!
Looking down upon the vicissitudes of time, he can cover the sky with a single hand!
The Eternal Blazing Sun Rank has already taken the first step into eternity, and its own life level has undergone a leap. If there are no strong opponents of the same level to stop it, it can easily sweep through a large domain.
He single-handedly caused a natural disaster!
Strength is merely an adornment for them; what is truly formidable is their long lifespan.
The longer you live, the more terrifying the wisdom you accumulate.
Even at the end of their lifespan, they can go to a smaller world, forcibly replace its consciousness, and become the new world ruler!
Previously, when facing the Daughter of Eternal Darkness, if Lu Yu hadn't had the spine spear left by the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King, and if the opponent hadn't taken him, an ant, seriously at all, he wouldn't have had the slightest chance of victory!
Although the man in front of them could not be clearly seen, he was most likely the legendary founder of the Lin family, known as Lin Xinghe, also called the "Star-Swallowing Bay Stream"!
Lu Yu's first reaction was...
Run away!
He was very self-aware. He could bully mid-level Morning Star cultivators, but peak Morning Star cultivators would be a real problem. If he encountered a Radiant Moon cultivator, he would have to use all his trump cards to escape.
As for the eternal giants... Lu Yu has absolutely no chance!
Even if you just stand there and let yourself be hit, a simple psionic rebound would be enough to kill you!
No fancy tricks, just absolute dominance!
This violates the core of his bullying tactics!
It's best to run away before the other person wakes up!
Lu Yu was about to leave when he stopped, suddenly realizing something:
"Since the Lin family has a powerful figure, why would they be willing to have their power suppressed? Moreover, Lin Xinghe was one of the pioneers of the alliance and made contributions. He could have applied for the help of the Supreme Council."
This level of combat power is a treasure to the Alliance. The Lin family has absolutely no need to collude with the evil god cult; it would only sow the seeds of future trouble and lead to their abandonment by the Alliance, unless…”
"There's a big problem!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yu used his Eye of Truth to observe the huge star-shaped flesh below and Lin Xinghe above the crystal.
The blood vessels beneath him spread and breathed like living things, flickering like extinguished stars, forming a shape similar to genes.
It was as if what stood before them was not a human, but a Star Spirit!
It felt like standing in front of a raging torrent, ready to be swallowed up at any moment!
The more Lu Yu observed, the more delighted he became, because although the Eye of Truth still displayed a series of question marks, he made a new discovery.
This guy not only fell into a deep sleep, but also entered a state of deep distortion!
"In other words, this boundless field of starry flesh before us is a product of his spiritual distortion!"
Lu Yu was shocked. He thought of the strange property of it devouring all light sources, which meant that his pet beast, the Dark River Spirit, had also been mutated along with it.
Given its size, it has likely spread throughout the entire Star Bay City area, essentially planting a time bomb...
Oh no, nuclear weapons!
Every day is peaceful and wonderful for the residents of Xingwan!
It's comparable to the Hidden Corpse Emperor Holy City beneath Da Yuan City!
Fortunately, this distortion seems to have been contained by some force and has stabilized, with no further tendency to spread.
As for why...
This is the Starlight Floating Platform right in front of you!
It is engraved with a large number of sacrificial patterns, which can transform celestial materials through rituals and put them into the huge starry meat field below!
The Lin family ancestor absorbed the stellar power contained in the materials, constantly awakening the spiritual puzzle pieces to curb pollution.
Otherwise, complete distortion would corrupt even the greatest of all time, causing them to lose their will and become monsters!
But the price is that you will fall into a state of dormancy. Before you regain your balance, waking up is like burning your life force!
It's much more serious than it was back then!
"As expected of a spiritual puzzle inherited from an ancient dynasty, it can even suppress pollution through slumber. An ordinary person would probably have become distorted long ago!"
He had also consumed most of the materials in the secret vault. With such a large vampire clinging to the Lin family, their own resources were scarce, and coupled with suppression from external forces, it was quite remarkable that they had survived to this point.
Lu Yu pondered, becoming even more curious about what Lin Xinghe had encountered that caused even an ancient giant to be severely injured and distorted.
After all, he disappeared suddenly back then, and there was no news of a protracted battle, which means that he encountered an enemy stronger than him!
But the fact that half of the body was left behind indicates that it was not an encounter with a true king or a true god!
Could it be that some of the top members of the Star Family are vying for the inheritance of an ancient dynasty?
Lu Yu was puzzled, and then he thought of Lin Rui, this "perfect person" who was somewhere between a man and a woman.
Her body is a balance of yin and yang, possessing extremely high resistance to pollution, making her a perfect vessel.
He had previously thought that she was to become the Holy Child of the Month of Procreation, as a special vessel to receive divine blessings.
After all, evil gods don't care about ants on the ground; even believers are just a special kind of ant that can perform!
Whether you are a believer or not, she may bestow blessings upon you!
However, after discovering that the Lin family ancestor was still alive, Lu Yu rejected this conjecture.
Lin Rui was probably the vessel prepared for this Lin family ancestor!
Being from a large family is great; it grants you vast resources, status, and connections that are unimaginable to ordinary people, making you born into a privileged position. But the price to pay is…
You must also contribute to the family!
If sacrificing one person can bring back our ancestors, then the entire Lin family would wholeheartedly agree!
"It's just a pity... that people's hearts are unpredictable!"
Lu Yu possessed the Eye of Truth, which allowed him to discover that parts of the ritual at this altar had been altered, and he couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile:
"Lin Junzhou is indeed a remarkable person!"
The current head of the Lin family has made two preparations: the best outcome would be the revival of their ancestors and a family reunion.
If that doesn't work, use a ritual to keep him dormant, and then control his power through a "container".
In this way, even if the Eternal Blazing Sun cannot be born, the minimum combat power will be at the peak of the Radiant Moon, enough to become the restorer of the Star Bay Lin family!
Although it sounds cold-blooded, the Lin family has paid a heavy price over the centuries, but Lin Xinghe has been unable to recover and has become a burden on the family.
However, they cannot give up, as not only would they fail to recover their previous investments, but they would also destroy the entire Star Bay City.
The Lin family's last resort will also disappear!
Submersion costs are too high!
So the already cold-blooded Lin Junzhou simply used it as material, a stepping stone to become stronger!
The funeral procession has reached its peak!
"However, this gives me a chance to take advantage of the situation!" Lu Yu smiled, without any psychological burden.
He was from the border region and had never received any favors from the Dark Star Domain. Moreover, ever since he killed the Lin family members, their relationship had become one of irreconcilable enmity!
Once the Lin family ancestor is resurrected, he will absolutely not let him go!
Since they are enemies, there is no need for mercy!
Moreover, this guy in front of us has already mutated. Even if he is resurrected, he will most likely be affected by his mind and become a calamity for Star Bay City or even the Dark Star Region.
The dragon slayers of yesteryear will become even greater dragons!
Both for public and private reasons, Lu Yu had every right to take action!
"However, the method used against the Hundred-Eyed Cicada of the Void is no longer applicable. The dream essence of the Eternal Blazing Sun Rank is too high, and it will probably erode the Nightmare Prison in turn."
Moreover, he's just in a long slumber; he'll awaken once he senses a life-or-death crisis. No one willingly dies, so extracting him directly is out of the question—I'd be slapped to death. But my idea wasn't to kill him; it was to gain some benefits…”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a plan, but the prerequisite was that he first had to reach the center of the Starry Sky Meat Field.
That is, the location of the crystal!
"There are still many obstacles to overcome!"
Lu Yu broke off a stone and threw it into the Starry Sky Meat Field.
Click!
A large number of long worms burst out of the meat field. Their bodies were made of starlight and wrapped with rings of dim starlight. They opened their huge mouths, which were covered with ring-shaped mandibles, and directly bit the stone into dust!
If the flesh and blood on a person's body rots and is not cleaned in time, worms will grow!
The same applies to the Eternal Sun. With their extremely high spiritual essence, they are powerful sources of radiation themselves, capable of artificially rewriting a part of the ecological environment.
Even getting close to them is a burden for weak life forms, as they are easily subjected to forced alterations to their psionic nature, or the gap is so large that they cannot even reproduce.
Therefore, once their psionic powers become corrupted, the consequences will be even more severe. In addition, they have also fused with the [Spirit of the Dark River], which directly turned the formless and intangible starlight into flesh and blood.
These star maggots grew from his distorted and corrupted flesh field, and each one possessed strength between the Morning Star and the Spiritual Transformation.
The hundreds and thousands of maggots in front of him were already enough to make Lu Yu's scalp tingle, but this was only a part of this flesh field.
It's hard to imagine their true number!
Even if the flesh fields can be extracted as materials, they will be freed from restraint. At that time, they will not only devour Star Bay City, but also a third of the Dark Star Region!
"Thankfully... this isn't too difficult for me!"
Lu Yu leaped into the air, his body plummeting straight down. The swarms of star maggots sensed the presence of a living being and became excited, with more and more star maggots appearing.
Densely packed, like a silent, dark sea of insects, they opened their gaping maws like black holes, welcoming the arrival of their prey!
"Egg, transform!"
Lu Yu silently chanted in his heart, and the [Twilight Robe] on his body changed, constantly tearing and turning into strands of light that intertwined with a large number of Twilight Insects behind him. At a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, the robe directly transformed into dark golden dragon armor.
The half-sun halo behind his head shone brighter and brighter, the dragon horns on both sides meandered, and three pairs of sword-shaped dragon wings appeared behind him!
There's a touch of beauty in its ferocity!
Seeing the countless maggots crashing down like a tsunami, Lu Yu clenched his fist and fired a shot...
"Twilight Flash!"
boom!
Like a solar helium flash, endless radiance descended, illuminating an area as if it were daytime!
"Hiss!"
The sudden light caused the star maggots, who had been living in darkness for a long time, to pause briefly. Before Lu Yu could even feel happy for half a second, the light was pulled away and merged into the flesh field, as if by an invisible hand.
Even the radiance emanating from him felt a pull like the gravity of a black hole, which extinguished him completely!
Fortunately, the essence of the Twilight Insect Feast and Egg was high enough that they managed to block most of the suction force through the phantom of the Holy City.
However, without the blessing of the twilight glow from the outside world, the spiritual energy within his body was still draining away at an alarming rate, with no time to replenish it.
Standing here, even if Lu Yu didn't move, he would be completely devoured in twenty minutes.
Not to mention there are so many terrifying roadblocks!
"Don't be so polite. I really can't discipline you Abyssal Worms with a stick!"
As Lu Yu was reminiscing, several star maggots suddenly appeared behind him, opening their gaping maws from the abyss.
He took a bite and hit Lu Yu squarely...
There was no bloodshed or carnage; it simply dissipated as a phantom!
It was just an afterimage!
Instead, this maggot was bitten hard by its companion, causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere and black blood to splatter, which attracted more maggots to devour it.
In the blink of an eye, not even bones remained!
"That's brutal!"
The real Lu Yu appeared dozens of meters away, his dragon wings vibrating through the air as he flashed forward, rushing towards the crystal in the center!
However, within the Starry Sky Meat Field, a large number of maggots rose up and lunged at Lu Yu.
"Twilight Flash!"
"Twilight Flash!"
"flash……"
Lu Yu flapped his dragon wings, used rapid flashing, and used [Twilight Flash] to cause a stunned state.
Although his radiance was swallowed by the flesh field, it bought him time, allowing him to quickly cross half the distance.
"Almost there!" Lu Yu was overjoyed, but plans can't keep up with changes.
boom!
The closer you get to the crystal, the larger and stronger the maggots become. Huge maggots, like small mountains, appeared, twisting their massive bodies and blocking your way!
then……
"Twilight Dragon Fist!"
Lu Yu unleashed a punch, and the twilight radiance transformed into a blazing light that swept across the area, directly shattering the heads of several giant star maggots.
Their powerful vitality prevented them from dying immediately, but instead caused them to writhe wildly, sweeping away a large number of star maggots that wanted to approach. Lu Yu took the opportunity to rush over.
But unexpectedly, eight mid-level Morning Star maggots in front of them opened their huge mouths and attacked from all directions!
"Little Spider!"
Lu Yu said softly, and the shrunken spider on his shoulder reached out and tore open a spatial rift, transforming into a stream of light and rushing into it.
boom!
A deafening crash resounded as several Morning Star-level maggots missed their targets and collided together. The terrifying impact shattered their bodies, attracting a large number of low-level Starry Sky maggots to devour them, but they were easily shaken off.
Lu Yu also flew out through the void rift, accelerating once more, and arrived beside the enormous crystal where Lin Xinghe lay dormant. Rumble!
At this moment, a large number of star maggots had approached, densely packed, like a world-ending tsunami.
Lu Yu merely sneered at this, then dispelled the Twilight Dragon Armor, his yellow robe fluttering in the boundless darkness.
One person faces a vast swarm of insects alone!
"Mouse!" Lu Yu's voice rang out.
"Understood!" the rat replied, unleashing its Thousand Faces power, transforming Lu Yu beneath the yellow robe into...
Lin Rui's appearance!
Bloodline, soul aura, and spiritual energy fluctuations were simulated before departure!
Seeing the swarm of insects so close at hand, he reached out and placed his hand on the crystal, shouting:
"Grandpa, save me!"
As they spoke, countless star maggots had already attacked, annihilating everything like a collapsing mountain!
"Did it fail?" Lu Yu frowned, preparing to use the second plan while simultaneously preparing the third plan.
Suddenly, the enormous crystal trembled slightly!
hum!
With a soft hum, a black halo spread out, and wherever it passed, all the star maggots were rendered stiff.
In Lu Yu's eyes, he could clearly see their life force being rapidly stripped away, and their bodies beginning to melt like candles, turning into pools of black water in the blink of an eye.
They were swallowed up by a giant field of starry flesh!
The area within several kilometers became empty, with only the flesh field, resembling a dark starry sky, slowly expanding and contracting!
Silence fell.
Lu Yu was shocked, and only one thought remained in his mind:
"That old bastard really does still have tricks up his sleeve!"
Those who live a long time are all cunning old foxes!
Lin Xinghe was no naive fool, and naturally he had a backup plan!
Lu Yu was relieved that he hadn't used the ability to extract materials directly, otherwise he would have been directly attacked!
He turned to look at Lin Xinghe inside the giant crystal. He hadn't been able to see him clearly before because of the distance, but now that he was close up, he realized that the guy's upper body had also been deformed.
The facial features that originally belonged to a human face have completely disappeared, replaced by a dazzling starry sky.
Through that giant curtain of deep space, Lu Yu seemed to see those distant and profound constellations!
Grand and mysterious!
Fortunately, this guy didn't fully wake up, but was more like a vegetable, retaining his perception of the outside world!
Lu Yu's thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he burst into tears, sobbing as he lay on the crystal.
"Ancestor, something terrible has happened! We just found a way to help you get rid of the pollution, but the Twilight Cult has invaded the clan, and a large number of our clansmen have died."
My father was killed too, he was pierced through by tentacles and turned into a human stump, my home is gone, waaaaaah…”
There's no emotion involved, it's all acting!
However, through the transformation of the power of a thousand faces, a perfect soul fluctuation was simulated. You couldn't achieve this effect without losing several parents!
hum!
The consciousness within the crystal seemed to have been stimulated and wanted to awaken, but Lu Yu, now transformed into Lin Rui, quickly said:
"Ancestor, this time my father and I have seized a sacred relic from the Twilight Cult. It can remove some of your corruption and lead them to their end. Then your awakening will be much sooner. For the sake of the family, you must endure it."
Success is just one step away, so we can't rush things. Although I'm also heartbroken, the dead cannot be brought back to life. We must wait for your full recovery before sweeping across the world and avenging our people!
The surging will within the crystal subsided slightly, seemingly acknowledging his plan.
"Ancestor, I'm going to use this relic now. If you sense anything is wrong, just tell me, and I'll stop!"
After receiving permission, Lu Yu decisively made his move, and an eternal white light descended, but he did not attack the ancient giant within the crystal.
Because this thing still retains its will, anyone who dares to touch it will be instantly reduced to ashes!
So Lu Yu's goal is...
This flesh field is a region of decaying and distorted spiritual energy!
A white light descended, directly extracting the large area of flesh, shattering and extracting it, turning it into materials.
It looks like dusk is falling, and everything is coming to an end!
hum!
The will within the crystal also sensed the rotting flesh being gradually removed, and further tacitly approved of Lu Yu's actions.
"Grandpa, this is wonderful..."
Lu Yu shouted excitedly, "This time it really wasn't an act!"
What is filth that others would avoid at all costs, he found...
It's high-level material!
If it's made into a secret food, what kind of pollution can it leave behind?
Soon, half of the starry sky meat field was extracted as material. The white light quickly faded, but some distorted areas were still preserved!
hum!
The will within the crystal is somewhat dissatisfied; how can I clean it up without leaving half of it?
However, Lin Rui, who had transformed from Lu Yu, spoke first, her face pale:
"Ancestor, I'm sorry, I'm too weak. After the relic is activated, it needs a certain period of time before it can be used again. Could you please protect the remaining members of our clan first? The honor of the Star Bay Lin family cannot be trampled upon..."
As he spoke, Lu Yu coughed up a mouthful of blood, conveying a wave of weakness in his soul, as if he were truly on the verge of his limit, suffering immense pain.
But for the sake of his people, he persevered!
The will within the crystal fell silent for a moment, then expressed its agreement.
"Great! With the Ancestor's help, these bastards can be easily crushed," Lu Yu said weakly.
Then, a ball of light was left behind as a signal. Once it went out, it meant that the clansmen had completely evacuated the manor, and the ancestor could take action.
Then, Lu Yu staggered out and flew away until he crossed the portal and returned to the secret vault, where he transformed back into his original form as Archbishop Twilight.
A smile appeared on his lips:
"As expected, the old man is easy to fool. The Faceless Brotherhood's methods are becoming more and more effective!"
This time, they deceived an ancient giant without shedding a drop of blood!
Not only did it fail to free Lin Xinghe from the distortion, it also weakened some of his power. As a result, even if he successfully recovers, he will not have the power he had at his peak!
Most importantly, I also obtained a high-level star material!
They've made a fortune!
"It's time to go!"
However, just as Lu Yu was about to leave, he discovered that the Lin family members who had been imprisoned in the Twilight Tentacle Cage were gone.
Lu Yu was not surprised at all and said with a smile:
"When distinguished guests arrive, don't the hosts know to welcome them?"
"You still dare to come out!" A voice rang out through gritted teeth; it was Lin Junzhou.
After realizing their hunt for Lu Yu was hopeless, they rushed back, only to find...
My house was burgled!
Three family members stationed there were killed, and the main branch of the family was completely wiped out, leaving only a group of collateral relatives!
Most importantly, we learned from them that this guy had also entered the secret vault!
At this moment, even he, a political animal who had never flinched even when faced with a collapsing mountain, was completely broken down!
He stared intently at the yellow-robed figure before him and said in a deep voice:
"What did you see!?"
"I saw your ancestors!" Lu Yu answered honestly.
"..."
Lin Junzhou remained silent, and a gigantic [Devouring River Spirit] appeared behind him.
The ultimate technique—the Gulf Stream of Food Time!
A vast and mighty dark galaxy surged forth, even larger and more mysterious than the three Morning Star Beastmasters combined!
Wherever they went, everything fell into darkness!
"this one?"
Lu Yu, in his guise as Archbishop Twilight, chuckled and then turned and ran.
They've gotten all the benefits.
Why stay and risk your life?
"Damn it! Kill him!"
The Lin family members were stunned at first, then burst into laughter in anger. They had never seen such a shameless person before, and quickly gave chase!
However, to prevent another raid, Lin Junzhou left a few weaker early-stage Morning Star warriors to check the secret vault.
Unexpectedly, this guy stopped shortly after leaving the manor, turned back to look at them, and said with a mocking smile:
Have you ever seen a giant firework display?
"Go to hell!"
Lin Junzhou had no interest in listening to the other party's nonsense and attacked directly. However, because he had not completely left the manor's territory, the Food Light Bay Stream had just condensed when it was instantly shattered by an even larger spiritual energy fluctuation and turned into spiritual energy particles!
boom!
The terrifying impact sent them flying, rolling several times on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
"What's going on!?" Lin Junzhou looked up and saw a scene he would never forget!
A gigantic hand, formed from the flesh and blood of the dark starry sky, emerged from the ground, carrying immense spiritual energy. With a single slap, it shattered the entire manor.
The violent tremors spread, even though the manor was built on the edge of Star Bay City, causing the entire city to shake. Countless citizens panicked, not knowing what had happened!
"What is that!?"
With a gasp, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget!
The billowing smoke, building debris, and the flesh and blood of several newly entered Morning Star Rank Lin family beast tamers were all swallowed by a pillar of dark starlight that shot straight into the sky.
As if afraid that the people above hadn't died cleanly, they even came up with a final cleanup!
The light shone brightly, illuminating an area of dozens of miles around!
The photo revealed the bewildered expressions on the faces of the Lin family members!
Lin Junzhou's mouth dropped open; he was completely dumbfounded.
My home is gone...
Our ancestors destroyed it with their own hands!
However, just as he was comforting himself that it was a good thing that his ancestor had been resurrected, the starry hand of flesh and blood shattered, turning into a sky full of starlight and returning to the earth.
We waited for a long time but he didn't climb out!
"..."
Lin Junzhou was devastated. He turned around abruptly, only to find that the mysterious man in the yellow robe had also vanished.
This time, the Lin family has lost everything!
"Damn it! The Church of the Setting Sun! I, Lin Junzhou, will never forgive you!" Lin Junzhou's roar echoed.
Because the commotion was too great to cover up, the alliance quickly sent a specialist to ask Lin Junzhou to cooperate with the investigation.
The remaining members of the Lin family were accommodated in a top-tier hotel in the city.
Lin Rui, Lin Changfan, and the others all looked dejected. They had thought it would be a great harvest, but unexpectedly...
As a result, the person almost went crazy!
The waiters didn't dare to offend them, so they quickly left after leading them to the room door.
Lin Rui ignored it, swiped her card to enter, and looked at the luxurious decorations before her. Her face remained expressionless as she waved her hand and sighed, saying:
"Uncle Changfan, I'm a little tired. You should go back to your room and rest too..."
However, no footsteps were heard, but the door closed.
"Can't I even have some peace and quiet?!"
Lin Rui was also getting angry, but the moment she turned her head, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she fell to the ground in fright, exclaiming:
"monster!"
Before her stood Lin Changfan and the two survivors, their bodies unchanged, but their heads…
But they all turned into fluffy hamster heads.
He was looking at her with a smile!
They've been replaced without us even realizing it!
This is... the Kingdom of the Thousand-Faced Rat!
"save……"
Lin Rui instinctively wanted to call for help.
However, the hamster head using Lin Changfan's body spoke up:
"Should I call you Young Master of the Lin family...?"
"Still a traitor within the Breeding Month!"
