Chapter 311 The Law of the Beast! The Alliance Shakes! Border Anomalies! The Finger of God Strikes (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The fifth item that the Chaos Egg grazed was a fist-sized white ball of light, within which flowed countless fragments of broken characters. Its aura was vast and ancient, as if it were the fundamental rules governing the operation of all things.
But it possesses a mysterious order completely different from the present world, which erodes everything.
Ding Ding Ding!
These fragments of text collided repeatedly, yet they could never be put together, seemingly lacking a core.
Just like a country, without a leader, it is ultimately just a pile of loose sand.
This is the blank law seed that pet beasts can use, transformed from the fragment of the divine tentacle that was swallowed when the illusory image of the Mother River shattered the mark of the Moon of Procreation.
With this, this battle was a huge success!
"Chaos Egg, you are my god!!"
Although Lu Yu had some guesses, he couldn't hide his excitement when he actually saw it.
He was quite guilty about using the Chaos Egg as a weapon to smash the divine mark, which resulted in a crack being created in his own Seed of Law.
Furthermore, since this spoils of war were also snatched from the Chaos Egg, Lu Yu felt embarrassed and had no right to ask for it. He was only thinking about finding the Evil God Cult to set up a trap and harvest divinity in the future.
Unexpectedly, the Chaos Egg abandoned its usual greedy nature and spat it out.
Did the sun rise in the west?
Wait, that analogy is inappropriate; in the pasture sky, the sun is always in the west.
Because it is dusk.
Or perhaps he thinks he's too weak and is feeding him resources to help him quickly improve his strength so he can seek revenge against the Moon of Breeding?
"No problem, I'll avenge you. When I catch the Moon of Procreation, you can play with it however you want!" Lu Yu enthusiastically promised.
But the Chaos Egg cannot speak or answer.
Lu Yu didn't care; as long as he knew it was a good thing, that was enough.
It can bring about a qualitative change in the combat power of your pet!
As for who it's for...
"That must be the little spider!"
Lu Yu made a decision quickly without hesitation. It wasn't that he was deliberately showing favoritism or doting on his first pet.
If everything had met the requirements, we would definitely have held the third intra-team tournament, but unfortunately, that's not possible.
Because the little spider was really...
Too curly!
While Egg, Mouse, and Paper Knight were still struggling to get their second "Peak of Mastery" skill, Little Spider had already acquired multiple "Transcendent" skills and several "Peak of Mastery" skills.
In its hands, even beginner-level proficiency is the rarest.
Furthermore, after the battle in the Cursed Realm, she herself transformed into a legendary skill, becoming Lu Yu's strongest combat force, without exception.
Once the Seed of Law is born, no one of the same level will be qualified to stand before it, and even those of higher level will be shrouded in its shadow, experiencing endless nightmares.
"However, humans are governed by human laws, while beasts should be governed by beast laws, right?"
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then used the ranch puzzle piece to pass the blank law seed to the little spider on his shoulder.
"Eek?"
On Lu Yu's shoulder, the little spider, dressed in a moon-colored fairy dress, was still recovering the spiritual energy it had just used up in the battle. Suddenly, its eyes widened as it realized that its master had put something inside its body.
Although it feels a little strange, if it was given by the owner, there must be a reason for it.
Even if it makes no sense, the little spider will make up a reason for it!
The world is vast, but the master is the greatest!
So the little spider let the Law Seed run wild inside its body, intertwining and colliding with its many attributes. Just when it thought it was about to merge, the seed would come out again, displaying a rather scumbag-like stalking style.
"Eek!"
This troubled the little spider, who had no similar experience and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
hum!
Finally, the Chaos Egg in the pasture trembled slightly, instantly calming the Seed of Law, which obediently merged into the soul.
As the little spider's spirituality permeated the original blank fragments of law, they began to change.
...Void Curse Mark...Nightmare Prison...Lines of the Cursed Realm...Cursed Moon...Spider Silk...
The full power of the Cursed Moon God Spider manifested, and with the help of the Law Fragments, it continued to fuse. The Law Seed also expanded several times, looking somewhat round.
Upon seeing it, the little spider instinctively opened its mouth, its face beaming with joy. The shape...
It looks like a watermelon!
lovely!
(*°O°*)
The little spider asked innocently, "Eek!"
Will a watermelon law be born?
How wonderful it would be if the whole world could be turned into watermelons!
We have more watermelon than we can eat every day!
"How could there possibly be a Watermelon Law... Never mind, I won't make any promises. This world seems to have no shortage of bizarre abilities. However, the power of the Law Seed should be derived from your own attributes." Lu Yu explained, which made Little Spider a little disappointed.
However, it quickly cheered up. Becoming stronger was a good thing, as it would be able to better protect its master.
The owner's plan to lie down is getting closer and closer.
Looking at the spirited little spider, Lu Yu couldn't help but chuckle. According to the little spider's feedback, it seemed that because it had fused with a lot of abilities, it would take about 7-10 days to complete its transformation.
The time wasn't long, and Lu Yu was also looking forward to seeing what Little Spider's Law of the Beast would be like.
After all, he had watched the little spider grow from a spoils of war for the Dream Eater Cult to a giant cub, and now it was about to master the law and become invincible.
No need to worry about falling behind, or even being far ahead.
Throughout this journey, I have tried my best to protect him and handle everything in his life.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu reached out and patted its head, and the latter obediently rubbed against his palm.
The others smiled knowingly at this heartwarming scene; the bond between the beast tamer and his beast was the greatest miracle.
However, the mouse, who had transformed into the Three Calamities Peacock, was somewhat melancholy. It wasn't that it couldn't bear to see Spider Sister become stronger, but rather that it had asked Xiu Ren why it wasn't included, and the answer it received was...
It's too bad.
They don't even have the right to contain the seeds of law!
What a shame!
The mouse, who had dominated the world and fought against many great beings without being at a disadvantage, was ultimately stopped by a mere skill proficiency level.
All of this is because the rat clones were cunning and deceitful, knowing only how to take and give back instead of contributing!
If they don't work hard and put in extra hours, how can they rise to the position of the eldest sister?
If I could make my hamster the boss, I'd be willing to let her live in a villa every day and eat, drink, and play with Xiu Ren.
Because of his intense emotions, the mouse forgot to disconnect from the telepathic connection, causing the paper knight's lips to twitch slightly.
This hamster really doesn't want to suffer at all.
If this continues, won't the rat clones rebel?
"roar--"
Egg yawned lazily, then suddenly realized that its "Never-ending Thirst" skill could reach its peak at any moment.
However, it wasn't in a hurry to advance. It planned to find a time to "accidentally" break through in front of the mouse, and then enjoy the mouse's dumbfounded and questioning expression. That scene should be...
Very enjoyable!
While the various pets were scheming against each other, Lu Yu and his companions, who had rested for half a day, received battle reports from other parts of the alliance.
After all, during the Silent Moon, besides the Procreation Moon, two other cults were planning to cause trouble.
"It seems that this time it wasn't just us who achieved outstanding results; indeed, we have a wealth of talented individuals!"
The High Priest of Thorns sighed and looked at the curious crowd, saying:
"The Primal Moon Order has always sought to replace the Ancient Moon with the Primal Moon, returning the entire main world to the light of the original moon. They revere wildness, nature, and chaos. Therefore, most of the priests within the order are similar to the ancient shamanistic system, led by priests, high priests, and shaman kings, with clear class distinctions, not much different from primitive tribes."
For humans, their original form remains unchanged. However, some alien races can revert to their ancestral form, resulting in a surge in combat power and lifespan. The only drawback is that their intelligence is affected, making their already unintelligent minds even more precarious, leaving them only capable of destruction.
However, this time, the [Primal Moon] successfully held a ceremony that returned several alien tribes to their "primitive and wild" form, including the Moon Worgen tribe, which successfully gave birth to top-tier monsters such as the Ancestral Howling Wolf. In addition, there were also the Frost Moon Rabbit people, and so on.
They attempted to attack the border battlefield, but were ambushed by numerous war groups, suffering extremely low casualties, killing hundreds of Morning Star-level aliens and double-digit numbers of Radiant Moon-level beings, including several Grand Wizards…”
When everyone heard this, although they felt that the battle record was impressive, it was only comparable to their own. How could it compare to Lu Yu, who had killed two pseudo-Eternal Suns?
Yan Yu, one of the candidates for the Holy Maiden, crossed her arms and, as if remembering something, asked:
"This shouldn't be all the results, right?"
"That's right!"
Zheng Yi nodded slightly, her expression complex as she spoke:
"This time, the Alliance originally thought that the Primal Moon's target was the countless humans on the border, and that they wanted to carry out a blood sacrifice. However, they did not expect that when the divination failed, they would bring out an Eternal Blazing Sun-level alien race whose lifespan was about to end, and send it to the ancient ruins where the Alliance had withdrawn its troops to deal with the Silent Moon, leaving the defenses vulnerable."
Fortunately, a powerful Beastmaster in the alliance had deployed a large number of scouts, discovered the enemy's actions, and immediately reported them to the alliance.
As a precaution, the alliance had the second of the nine prodigies guard the border. Upon receiving the news, they immediately notified the other side to return. Lost ruins can be reclaimed, but top geniuses are all elites; once they are gone, they are truly gone.
But there was no response. Reinforcements were quickly dispatched, but by the time they arrived, the battle was over. They saw that the monstrous genius, at the peak of the Radiant Moon realm, had successfully defeated the giant, plucked its head, and hung it atop the Great Wall on the border, deterring many alien races and greatly relieving pressure on the front lines.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's face showed astonishment.
More than a hundred years apart,
Another prodigy has defied the might of an ancient giant!
Although it is an alien giant whose lifespan is about to end, and whose body and psionic energy have begun to decline, this does not mean that they are weak.
On the contrary, this guy will become unscrupulous and ruthless because death is so close, making him even more dangerous in battle.
Yet he was still killed by that monstrous being!
This shows just how terrifying their strength is!
"The second most monstrous talent on the border...it seems to be that guy!"
Jiang Dian's eyes widened as a figure flashed through his mind—the guy who had become his psychological shadow. Despite being of the same generation, he was now on par with his father!
I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Good heavens, these border prodigies are all incredibly fierce!"
"This is what it means to single-handedly guard the border!"
"The other side failed miserably this time, becoming a stepping stone for our human genius."
The others were also discussing it animatedly, their expressions filled with anticipation.
If Lu Yu's killing of two pseudo-Eternal Suns was a huge leap across levels, representing the pinnacle of strategic combat, then the opponent's attack was a brutal, visceral assault, representing the pinnacle of martial prowess!
One approach involved relying on external forces, but even that was a narrow victory, and came at a huge cost.
However, the other factor is their own strength, and in comparison, the other party is slightly better!
However, they did not say these words aloud.
After all, he and Lu Yu were not the same age; he was more than ten or twenty years ahead of them.
In the future, Lu Yu will very likely achieve the same level. What right do they, a bunch of noobs, have to mock a prodigy?
"Is this the prelude to a chaotic era?"
Yan Yu was amazed and often wondered if she and these monsters were the same species.
Otherwise why...
Is the difference between people greater than the difference between people and dogs?
Thinking of this, Yan Yu glanced at Lu Yu, who was deep in thought, and thought that geniuses are all proud and arrogant, and he was probably thinking of challenging the other.
Unfortunately……
By the time Lu Yu advances to the Radiant Moon realm, the other party will probably have already become an ancient giant.
This threshold has shut down countless geniuses!
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Yu was not annoyed by being overshadowed; on the contrary, he hoped that there would be more heroes and great men in the world.
I can continue to keep a low profile, remain a marginal figure, and quietly collect more excellent materials.
However, Lu Yu was not concerned about that. What he was curious about was why the cult that worshipped the evil god of the moon would try to seize this relic related to the sun when it received the god's blessing.
Before he could speak, Jiang Ji asked the question first:
"Is this ancient ruin the target of the Primordial Moon?"
Zheng Yi said meaningfully, "It wasn't just the Primordial Moon, but also the followers of the Moon Lord Society. They actually used a fake ritual as a smokescreen to go to the border, only to encounter another guy."
"The number one prodigy?" Jiang Ji asked curiously.
"No, that guy's busy attacking the Eternal Sun!"
However, Zheng Yi shook her head and said with a strange expression:
"Because the Alliance did not discover them, it was not anyone in the Alliance, but the Fourth Finger of the Faceless Brotherhood. He infiltrated the Moon Lords at some point and betrayed them upon arriving outside the ruins, staging a grand drama of betrayal for everyone."
Using the flesh and blood of the Moon Lord's elite, they built a Moonbone Opera House, announcing to everyone that this was a tribute to the disciple's performing arts, welcoming him as the Tenth Finger, and that they had their eye on this ruin. They urged the Human Alliance to evacuate as soon as possible, or face the consequences.
Huh? A tribute to me?
They even invited me to become the tenth finger?
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, somewhat amused and exasperated. His disciple's disguise hadn't appeared for some time, but his legend still circulated in the martial arts world.
It's even been verified by influential figures now.
However, the Moon Lords are indeed a bunch of unlucky guys.
At Sunset Farm, after finally conquering the city and gaining a huge advantage, they were too reckless and were annihilated by the Farm Lady, also known as the Infant Angel, who used the power of a great being.
Then they were crushed by the alliance, and the secret realm they had painstakingly created was confiscated, leaving them to live a life of hardship for a long time.
Now that the ancient moon has finally fallen silent and the evil god has descended, it is about to rise to power, but before it can achieve anything, it has been turned into building material by the Brotherhood of Faceless.
In a physical sense, it became a background element!
The level of bad luck is almost comparable to when I was in the forbidden curse state.
"However, joining the Faceless Brotherhood isn't out of the question. After all, the materials needed for the Rat's later advancement are inseparable from them," Lu Yu pondered.
only……
First, you need to improve the effect of the [Fate's Protection] skill. Even if you can't fool the Faceless God, you can at least fool the invisible audience in the Faceless Opera House who only know how to take advantage of others, otherwise you might easily fail.
"Arrogant!"
Hearing this, everyone felt indignant, but they were also wary of the Faceless Brotherhood's lunatics.
Although the Finger of God is not officially ranked according to strength, those who rank high are definitely the ones who have presented top-notch performances for the Faceless God, meaning they are extremely capable of causing trouble!
If I didn't have the strength, I would have been killed long ago!
The eighth and ninth fingers, which were ranked last, alone led the destruction of Dayuan City, which brought to light two great beings.
If it weren't for the disciples' intervention that reversed the tide of battle, the border battlefield might have been breached from within, plunging the entire alliance into chaos.
It's hard to imagine what kind of conspiracy the fourth finger might reveal.
Looking at the somber faces of the crowd, Zheng Yi smiled and said:
"The more they value the ruins, the more it suggests that a huge secret is hidden within. Excavation will likely begin soon; the archaeology department has truly received an epic boost..."
At this point, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu. This guy seemed to be an archaeology major as well. Wouldn't he lead all those archaeologists astray?
Just don't blow up the ancient ruins...
Upon learning that the alliance was thriving, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then all eyes turned to Jiang Ji.
Although this battle for the Holy Maiden has become a one-man show for Lu Yu, as an outsider invited by Jiang Ji, all authority is attributed to her.
They are the undisputed winners!
Lu Yu became interested; finally, he could take a look…
Is it the Eye of the Evil King?
Zheng Yi asked with a complicated expression, "Are you ready?"
Jiang Ji nodded and said seriously:
"I am the thorn, destined to bear the suffering of eternity!"
"Alright, but since the Pope and the other high priests can't return in time, I will preside over the sainthood ceremony myself. I hope you won't find it too simple."
Zheng Yi made a joke, and with a wave of her hand, the entire Thorn Cathedral trembled, the Path of Ten Thousand Thorns opened, covered with sharp thorns, and countless thorns grew wildly, transforming into blurry human figures.
They stood quietly on both sides of the road, waiting for those who came after them.
However, Jiang Ji knew that they were not mimics, but rather the 337 Thorn Saintesses who had been devoured by using the Eye of the Evil King.
The Church of Thorns predates the Human Alliance, or rather, it existed long before the Age of Stars.
As a saintess, unless one ascends to the Eternal Sun, very few can live past one hundred years old.
It may seem like a lot, but for a powerful beast tamer, a hundred years is just the beginning of life.
However, the thorny path is inherently a path of sacrifice.
"Cross the path of ten thousand thorns, and you will see the Eye of the Evil King!" Zheng Yi said softly.
Without hesitation, under the watchful eyes of the other Saintess candidates, Jiang Ji took off her shoes, and her delicate, full feet stepped directly onto the spikes, piercing through her skin and flesh.
Intense pain shot straight to her brain, and the thorn ring on her thigh contracted, tripling in size at the start, causing her forehead to be covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
But Jiang Ji gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound. Lu Yu had already cleared away all the difficulties for her, so why should she back down?
This time, she didn't want to fight for the suffering of all things; she was just being selfish for once.
To bear the pain that Lu Yu suffered, let's give it our all!
Jiang Ji raised her head and walked forward with a resolute expression. With each step she took, a portion of the authority of the Evil King's Eye in the eyes of the other Holy Maiden candidates would be revoked and integrated into herself.
Towards the end, all the candidates for sainthood had their privileges revoked, giving them a sense of relief.
Jiang Ji, on the other hand, was granted a great deal of authority, which continuously strengthened her soul's endurance, but this was not a good thing. Instead, she could feel even more intense pain.
The number of Thorn Rings increased from three to four times, and by the time she reached the end, it was five times the number of Thorn Rings.
At this point, the pain is countless times greater than childbirth. It's as if your soul is thrown into a millstone and constantly crushed into dust, only to be repaired again the next moment. This process repeats endlessly, making it impossible to faint or escape.
It felt as if the pain tolerance valve in my body had been shut off!
There are only two possible outcomes for her.
Kill the enemy, or...
I'm dying from the excruciating pain!
However, at this moment, Jiang Ji had already seen the Eye of the Evil King, which was right in front of him.
This relic, passed down through the Church of Thorns, resembles a unique emerald in appearance, covered in thorns with numerous sharp spikes piercing it, making it look as if it had just been unearthed, constantly dripping dark green sap.
Jiang Ji reached out and slowly touched the Eye of the Evil King.
The moment she touched her, she saw in her eyes the saints who had sacrificed themselves throughout the ages, their gazes calmly fixed on her, as if urging her to embark on the path of bearing the suffering of all beings.
Jiang Ji simply smiled, her lips slightly changing shape.
The content is...
Please forgive me for being selfish just this once!
The remaining phantom images of saintesses exchanged glances, then smiled with satisfaction.
hum!
With a soft murmur, the Eye of the Evil King rippled, shaking the void, and a terrifying aura swept through, leaving everyone in awe.
However, the next second, he was suppressed by the Nine Heavenly Ritual and could not leave the area of the Thorn Cathedral.
boom!
The Eye of the Evil King seemed to have been angered, its ancient aura spreading as it sought to disrupt the rituals that protected the imperial capital.
However, before it could erupt, Jiang Ji grasped it in her hand. In that instant, the world before her eyes blurred, and she saw the saintesses of past generations wearing white thorn saintess robes, smiling at her.
Then, it transformed into countless streams of light and merged into her body. A large amount of ancient and hidden knowledge poured into her brain. As her knowledge increased, Jiang Ji's soul underwent some unknown changes, making her more compatible with the thorny spiritual energy.
Furthermore, he mastered several new Thorn Divine Arts and Forbidden Spells, and his aura began to rise continuously as he absorbed the spiritual energy accumulated in the Thorn Cathedral. His strength continued to increase, and he directly advanced from the early stage of Morning Star to the advanced stage.
There is no need to worry about spiritual loss of control.
Because compared to this pain, losing control is actually a kind of escapist pleasure!
"In a sense, this can be considered fighting poison with poison!"
Jiang Ji smiled bitterly to himself, then turned to look at everyone.
Upon seeing this, the four candidates for sainthood, Sister Thorn, and others knelt on one knee and respectfully said:
"Greetings, Saintess!"
Even Zheng Yi, a giant of the ages, lowered his head to show his respect.
Next, Jiang Ji will have the authority to mobilize the Thorn Church's fighting force, namely the most brutal Inquisition.
They have destroyed countless evil god cults and achieved numerous military exploits!
It can be said that he rose to the top in one step, and his status is equivalent to that of an ancient giant!
However, Jiang Ji remained calm and did not care about this power. To her, it was not as precious as that day in college.
Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Yu in the distance.
This time, with the help of the Eye of the Evil King with full authority, she finally saw the true form of the calamity behind Lu Yu, and her pupils dilated in shock.
"What is this thing?!"
This is a long chapter of 6,020 words. I'm asking for monthly votes. I'm having some writer's block. I'm not feeling well today, so I'm going to sleep now. I'll correct the typos tomorrow.
