Chapter 474 Lu Yu: You are a genius, and so are those things under my feet!
The 997th level of the Abyss.
Countless crimson wisps of energy descended, permeating the world with mystery and eeriness, as if an ancient Crimson Demon ritual had been initiated.
The eerie chant of the Seven Rings, Seven Seals, Seven Beasts, and Seven Sins could be heard constantly eroding one's reason.
Like a great demon with endless terror, devouring everything, it had already crouched outside the plane, greedily watching everything and drooling.
In the original plane, violent lightning and raging flames intertwined, but under the influence of the crimson aura, they all transformed into crimson spears, tearing through the void and piercing through.
The Abyss Ghost Tree subconsciously raised its roots, intertwining them, expecting to suffer a terrifying impact or a powerful attack.
But unexpectedly, the moment it made contact, it felt as if the material structure of its body had been suddenly altered by some force, and the hard tree trunk was instantly pierced as if it were thin paper.
"What is this thing!?"
Although it reacted in time and dodged the attack, it did not expect that the deep red aura on the root holes would spread rapidly like a virus, rewriting the essence of its body.
They were degraded from spiritual beings to primitive tree bodies.
It was just a fraction of a second of hesitation that resulted in the three pierced wooden dragon roots being corroded by deep red, turning into ferocious demons with deep red horns, tearing at it with endless primal and savage power.
Although it swiftly severed these roots at their root, shattering them with ghostly power, it had already spread outwards, corrupting dozens of roots.
Click!
The Abyss Ghost Tree was shocked by the terrifying power of its corruption. Without hesitation, it chose to undergo a radical cure, severing all the roots stained with crimson.
Otherwise, if it continues to spread, even it will be corrupted by the mysterious crimson power.
"What is this? Pollution? Or the law?"
The Abyss Ghost Tree looked wary, unable to even discern what it was. Because of the rat's prior shielding, it was unaware that something had happened to the ghost avatar, and thought it had been targeted by an old enemy or some great demon.
Seeing the crimson spears falling like raindrops, it was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for its doom, so it chose to use its trump card.
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless black-whiskered dragons surged forth, their wood chips falling to reveal their blood-soaked bodies, which intertwined to form a blood-red wall that blotted out the sky.
Hundreds of dragon heads hung above, staring menacingly ahead, their eye sockets swirling with soul fire and emitting a faint black light. Their dragon might swept across the scene, as if hundreds of pure-blooded dragons were truly embedded in it.
Legendary defensive technique – the Wall of a Hundred Dragons with Tree Roots!
This is a plant-based defensive technique that it developed based on the Blood Sea Emperor Tree, the Ghostly Emperor Tree, and the Transformation Emperor Tree.
All beings devoured by the descendants of the Blood Sea Emperor Tree will have their blood drained, leaving only dried corpses. But if you think the Blood Sea Emperor Tree only has the ultimate ability to manipulate blood, you are sorely mistaken.
Its true effect is that it can be manipulated based on the spirituality contained in the blood, making it essentially a different kind of "blood corpse," and it can also grow by absorbing the blood of its opponents.
In this process, it can be continuously purified, causing bloodline evolution, and then converging into a blood river.
However, this only applies to the evolution of the bloodline of the deceased.
Even if a living person does not die after their blood is drawn from them, their spirituality will change, making them more prone to distortion or developing along a path of death.
Ordinary dragon beast blood corpses, after a long period of slaughter, can theoretically refine their bloodline to the level of sub-dragons, pure-blooded dragons, or even legendary dragons.
As for Gu Long, it's not simply a matter of bloodline; it requires a corresponding duty and mission.
Similar to the manifestation of authority!
Of course, it is also very difficult. For example, the legendary dragon is probably only something that the main body of the royal tree, namely the Blood Sea Royal Tree of the Underworld God level, can do.
The difficulty of increasing the difficulty of other beasts is about the same.
The Abyss Ghost Tree dared to steal the power of the Seven Great Imperial Trees, so it must be a top genius.
It is based on the Blood Sea Emperor Tree, and then absorbs these dragon beasts as roots through the Ghost Tree, thereby increasing its strength by enhancing its soul power.
The ability of the Transformation Emperor Tree can transform life into different beast forms, including humans, angels, and so on, similar to the process of reincarnation in the six realms of reincarnation.
When ordinary people face the Transformation Emperor Tree, they will be transformed into various kinds of livestock. If they cannot return in time, their vitality will be extinguished, they will enter a state of death, and eventually become special death beasts, under its control.
The combination of these three elements allowed it to successfully and cleverly transform into a dragon using the lives of dragon beasts and other beasts, forcibly refining its bloodline and gaining power comparable to a pure-blooded dragon.
Hundreds of pure-blooded dragons of the Eternal Sun level.
Its power is self-evident!
boom!
A roar came from the Dragon Head Wall, carrying a powerful surge of spiritual energy that shattered many crimson spears in mid-air, turning them into ashes and leaving only deep red cracks in the void.
The powerful offensive that had swept across the sky was instantly crushed!
"It worked?"
The Abyss Ghost Tree was overjoyed and prepared to press its advantage, launching an attack using the power of the Netherworld Crossing Emperor Tree and the Spirit Suppressing Emperor Tree.
The Imperial Tree's Profound Secret - Suppressing the Spirit of the Styx River!
The vast and magnificent phantom of the River Styx appeared, but unlike before, every drop of water in the River Styx contained the power to suppress spirits.
Once contact occurs, the spirituality of all living beings will enter a state of inertia, and their strength will be reduced to less than one-tenth.
Suppressing spirits involves not only suppressing the soul, but also the essence of the spirit.
It should be known that when the true Spirit-Suppressing Emperor Tree descends, it can suppress the spiritual energy of an entire realm, effectively severing the connection between heaven and earth and causing spiritual energy to decline.
Then, the beings inside, in a state without magic, must defeat the great being that can crush super-technological civilizations at will.
It sounds unfair, but that's the reality.
Even the most powerful defensive rituals in the main world would be instantly reduced to ruins in its presence.
Splash!
"My path, from shattered to whole, will eventually illuminate the Mother River. No demon... can stand in my way!" The Abyss Ghost Tree roared in its heart, as endless power of the Styx swept forth.
As long as the opponent's spirituality can be suppressed, it can decide whether to advance or retreat.
However, as it attacked, it suddenly paused for a moment, and a silent danger exploded in my heart.
"No, that's not right!"
The Abyss Ghost Tree suddenly realized a problem: when exactly did the world around it begin to become so dark?
A pitch-black shadow has already enveloped most of the world!
The deep red marks not only did not disappear, but their number increased in the shaded areas.
On the contrary, in the areas without shadows, not a single trace could be seen.
Is it...
"Oh no!"
The Abyss Ghost Tree reacted instantly, trying to retreat using the power of the Netherworld Emperor Tree, but it was too late.
Click click click!
These remaining crimson marks suddenly cracked open, revealing crimson eyes that turned and looked down at the Abyss Ghost Tree with a condescending and indifferent gaze.
The enormous shadow in the sky suddenly split open a crimson maw, and a hoarse, low laugh echoed throughout the world, seemingly mocking the foolishness and powerlessness of the Abyss Ghost Tree.
Only then did it realize...
That shadow that permeated the world was actually a savage, grinning demon with tree horns, silently eroding and replacing the world with its own body.
The Mysterious Truth of the Transformation of the Heavenly Realm: The Birth of the Red King!
The Crimson King projection, born from the projection of the mouse's own personality, contains the core concept of crimson and is a special incarnation located between the past and the future.
boom!
It swallowed this world, and endless crimson laws erupted instantly, constructing a crimson kingdom. Countless chains spread out, tightly binding the Abyss Ghost Tree.
"Get out of here!!!"
The Abyss Ghost Tree roared, its survival instincts erupting as it tried to break free of its restraints, but it was too late.
Chi Chi!
The Crimson King's avatar stretched out his hand, and the crimson power quickly stained the Styx River phantom. The originally black river water instantly turned scarlet, like a surging sea of blood. The matter transformed and became a colossal crimson spear, like a pillar of heaven, which it held in its hand.
Like a demon god who created the heavens
With a sinister grin, he initiated the execution!
"Smash it!" The Abyss Ghost Tree manipulated the Hundred-Headed Dragon Wall to launch an attack. All the dragon heads opened their blood-red maws and gathered the dragon breath that could destroy everything.
In an instant, endless dragon breath gathered into a ball and swept away, causing the space to tremble, as if the entire plane was about to be pierced through.
Faced with this fatal blow, the Crimson King's avatar's smile grew even more maniacal as he took the hit head-on, blasting a huge hole in the hole.
But the next second, the Karmic Calamity King Plate appeared and spun behind its head.
The law of cause and effect takes shape—returning cause and effect!
boom!
The shattered body was rapidly repaired as if played in reverse, and endless dragon breath gathered once more, but this time…
But they locked onto the Hundred-Headed Dragon Wall!
Rumble!
The strongest spear clashed with the strongest shield, and the collision unleashed a terrifying surge of psionic energy, causing them to shatter each other instantly.
The Abyss Ghost Tree suffered a backlash and was no longer able to break free from the crimson chains.
Click!
As countless wood chips flew, the crimson spear pierced the trunk of the massive Abyss Ghost Tree, pinning it to the ground. The entire 997th plane trembled violently, as if it might be torn apart at any moment. The world wailed.
It drowned out the wailing of the Abyss Ghost Tree.
At this moment, the endless crimson crimson eroded its reason and twisted its will.
The opponent didn't even have to appear in real form before he was instantly killed.
The humiliation of this defeat made it even more painful.
Because Lu Yu did not intercept, the avatar of the Ghost Tree fruit in the 999th plane sensed the wailing of the original soul, and the face on the tree trunk said in disbelief:
"How is that possible..."
The Abyss Ghost Tree, hidden in another dimension, was actually destroyed.
"You are indeed a genius, able to utilize the power of the Five Great Imperial Trees to this extent. It's just a pity... I've encountered many geniuses along the way, and then they became part of the road."
Lu Yu, seated on the crimson throne, remained calm.
In fact, the law of the rat was already fully formed before it went to the underworld, but during its birth, the seed of the law merged with the crimson kingdom with the authority of the night at its core.
It incorporates attributes such as causality and darkness, forming a special Crimson Law. Unlike other laws that forcibly carve out a region and construct their own "domain," the Crimson Law is more like a meme contamination.
It will spread rapidly, and then, with these polluted "individuals" as nodes, form a special kingdom. Within this region, there is the power to rewrite matter, distort reality, and alter cause and effect.
Rather than the law of beasts, it is more like the prototype of the law of kings.
As mentioned before, the laws of humans and the laws of beasts are not even rudimentary forms of the laws of kings.
It's basically the difference between a basic feature phone and a smartphone.
In reality, the laws of the king require the support of an ecological kingdom and the royal court to unleash their most terrifying power.
The one who sits on the throne is the true king.
As for the rat, relying on the nascent form of the divine kingdom, it formed this special semi-royal law ahead of time, which is much more powerful than the laws of beasts and humans.
For example, the defense of the Abyss Ghost Tree was not weak. Even with the Lies and Dragon Armor buffs, Lu Yu could not easily overwhelm such a peerless giant who had gathered the power of the descendants of the five great royal trees.
However, through the transformation of the Crimson Law, even hard steel can be turned into weeds that can be broken with a gentle pinch.
This is a modification at the material level.
The smaller the gap in strength between the player and their opponent, the greater the degree of modification that can be made.
When the gap is large, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the higher-dimensional spiritual essence.
Of course, if there are laws to counteract this, one can also reduce one's own influence.
However, the moment the Crimson Law descended, it had already taken over a small portion of the plane, taking the other party into its belly, that is, into the nascent divine kingdom of the Crimson Kingdom.
The costs of material transformation, mind manipulation, and causality will be greatly reduced, at which point the outcome is already predetermined.
If Lu Yu hadn't advanced to the Eternal Blazing Sun Rank, the Abyss Ghost Tree would indeed have been a formidable foe, but now...
He is invincible among his peers.
Thinking of this, the Crimson King transformed and used the Crimson Spear to lift the guy up. Like the giant Kuafu chasing the sun, he crossed 998 planes and approached the 999th plane under the terrified gazes of the demons in those planes.
"Now we've collected the paths to all six Imperial Trees."
Lu Yu pondered in his heart that although the Reincarnation Emperor Tree had been poisoned to death, the remains had already been cleaned of contamination by the egg and could be used at any time.
"That means there are still..."
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then subconsciously squeezed the water-producing sponge...
"Mmm!"
Feeling the shame and indignation in Chi Yue Hong Lian's eyes, Lu Yu smiled. It was indeed quite fun to bully her.
The play where they pretend not to know each other's identities is especially interesting.
"Sorry, I'm getting obsessed with demonic possession." Lu Yu apologized.
However, Akatsuki Crimson Lotus blushed instantly.
Possessed by... demonic possession?
Does it refer to a succubus?
How come I never noticed how despicable this man was before? Is it too late to regret it now?
As Akatsuki Honglian's emotions shifted, images from various doujinshi (books/manga series) surfaced in her mind, a mixture of anticipation and fear.
In reality, Lu Yu was just speaking casually; he would definitely prioritize important matters, not the word "proper."
The Crimson King, in his avatar, brought the Abyss Ghost Tree before him.
The Abyss Ghost Tree raised its head and looked at the Crimson Corrosion King Tree. It was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that it, having merged with the descendants of the five royal trees, could now track the existence of the other royal tree descendants.
This is an instinct to pursue wholeness from a state of fragmentation.
Therefore, one can sense that the Crimson King Tree and it come from the same source, but it has undergone a special transformation, becoming a King Tree comparable to the first generation descendant of the Royal Tree.
The Abyss Ghost Tree gave a bitter laugh: "So that's how it is, you are too..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he and his avatar were entangled by the roots of the Crimson Corrosion King Tree, becoming nourishment and beginning their transformation.
Lu Yu had no interest in listening to the ramblings of a loser.
The mouse's excited voice echoed in Lu Yu's mind:
"Xiu Ren, the other half of the Netherworld Crossing Imperial Tree has been completed. Only one more descendant of the Imperial Tree is needed to restore the prototype of the Death God Tree."
"What will happen if it's restored?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
"Hmph, of course I'll kick the Mother of Twilight and punch the Moon of Fertility!" Mouse didn't miss any opportunity to brag.
"Then I don't expect you to fight a great being, how about fighting a true king?" Lu Yu suddenly spoke, then looked at Tianrong Mountain and the many demons.
Feeling his gaze, the demons rushed to their knees, begging for mercy and shouting the name of the Crimson.
But what awaited them was...
"The heavens are trampled!"
With a single stomp, all the demons were unharmed, but Tianrong Mountain was shattered and completely collapsed, causing the volcano to erupt, billowing black smoke, and scorching lava to engulf the earth.
The demons were so frightened that they began to scatter in all directions.
In the end, Egg and the others were kind-hearted; one ate the body, and the other took the soul, making proper arrangements for them.
"This is troublesome!"
Red Lotus thought Lu Yu was going to destroy the 999th layer of the Abyss and was about to warn him that it would attract the malice of the Abyss's will, but she also saw a ball of light slowly rising from under the Lava Mountain and floating into the air.
Inside was a seed the size of a fist, entirely purple, inscribed with countless ancient underworld characters, its shape resembling various instruments of torture, like a...
Hell!
"Cultivator... how come the seed of the Netherworld Emperor Tree is here?" Mouse asked in surprise.
"Do you really think the Abyss Ghost Tree has been active for so long without any problems? Is it really because it's clever? It's just that someone wants to use it to see if they can take advantage of the chaotic era and fish in troubled waters when fate is in chaos."
Lu Yu shook his head and continued answering:
"The Abyss is a great testing ground. It is chaotic and disorderly. The will of the Abyss can prevent most great beings from spying on it, and may even help to cover it up."
After all, with the Tree of Death, the Abyss might be able to devour the Underworld along with it, thus becoming the fourth main world.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, since it doesn't conform to the balance rules of the mother river. Unless there are taboos, we must be careful that prosperity will eventually lead to decline.
Although the environment is in place, people are still needed to provide shelter, so we should cultivate a sufficient number of agents in advance, such as…”
boom!
Before he could finish speaking, the vast royal might swept across the layers of the abyss and descended upon the 999th layer, causing countless demons to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.
Chi Chi Chi!
Endless crimson energy rose, and the temperature rapidly increased, even evaporating the magma and turning the entire plane into a crimson hell.
Even the little spider and other pet beasts felt intense discomfort, only Red Hare felt okay.
"Why is he here?" Red Lotus asked in shock, her face turning somewhat pale.
It turned out to be...
Crimson Prison King!
