Cultivating Through The Game

Lu Yu drifted in the endless space turbulence and came across a desiccated corpse. He approached the corpse to inspect its condition.

In this void of space, finding something whole was indeed rare.

"It's not human..." Lu Yu's expression shifted slightly. He noticed that although the desiccated corpse was humanoid, its limbs had many sharp protruding bone spikes, distinctly non-human.

Just as Lu Yu was about to explore the cause of this corpse's death, he suddenly felt a great danger. As his vision blurred, Lu Yu felt a pain in his chest—a dry arm was lodged into his chest.

Lu Yu's chest had caved in but wasn't pierced through.

Suddenly attacked, Lu Yu didn't panic. He immediately counterattacked, raised his hand trying to grab onto the opponent, who in the next instant disappeared before his eyes, and Lu Yu caught nothing.

Bang~ Lu Yu's body lurched forward, hit from behind.

Bang bang bang~ Like torrential rain, the attacks came from all directions. The opponent's speed was too fast; Lu Yu had no chance to counterattack and could only endure passively.

Boom! A powerful force erupted from Lu Yu's body, a mighty energy sweeping around him in three hundred and sixty degrees, forcing the enemy back.

Lu Yu quickly seized the opportunity to distance himself, cautiously staring at the alien-like corpse.

After he created some distance, the opponent did not continue pursuing but instead entered a stationary state, seemingly reverting to a corpse.

Lu Yu stared intently at it, not relaxing his vigilance. After a while, Lu Yu understood the opponent's behavior.

It was too weak; it didn't know how long it had drifted in the endless space turbulence, its power already dried up and depleted.

That skeleton-like body was already the best proof.

Regardless of the race, in periods of strong Qi Blood, it's impossible for a strong body to be emaciated or reach such a desiccated state.

If not for encountering Lu Yu, it might have remained in this state until all its energy was consumed, finally swallowed by space turbulence.

Lu Yu understood that it was waiting for him to approach.

It couldn't afford to waste even a bit of power; if it couldn't kill him and seize his energy, it likely wouldn't have time to wait for an opportunity to leave here.

He also knew one thing: as long as he keeps draining it out, victory will inevitably be his.

Even if the opponent's peak state was higher in realm and strength compared to Lu Yu, it absolutely couldn't surpass Lu Yu in a full-power state, in terms of endurance capability.

But Lu Yu didn't want to waste too much time on it.

Unable to match its speed in close combat, Lu Yu decisively opted for long-range attacks, ten stars emerging, forming a celestial disc.

The extreme Solar Star, True Sun Fire erupted forth, engulfing the dried alien.

The alien's body burned slowly in the True Sun Fire, without taking any resistance measures, simply enduring the scorching flames.

It even absorbed the thin Spiritual Qi from the True Sun Fire, gathering strength.

Lu Yu sensed its small actions, understood its plans, a cold smile crept at the edge of his lips, and with a thought, the True Sun Fire's area rapidly shrunk, its energy condensed into a single point, enhancing its power.

Soon, the desiccated alien couldn't continue waiting; it realized Lu Yu's energy was too abundant, having released True Sun Fire for so long without a single weakening.

If it continued to lurk, it would likely be burned to charcoal by the True Sun Fire.

Speed! Extreme speed! As the alien moved, even the True Sun Fire that clung to it fell off.

Lu Yu's eyes flickered, the stellar disc behind him disassembled. Instantly, Boundless Star, Infinite Star, and Chaos Star united into one.

Space-Time Divine Soldiers appeared before him, the powers of Space-Time spun, distorting the time and space around Lu Yu, accelerating his own passage of time, while slowing the surrounding time.

With one acceleration and one deceleration, a very intense feeling of separation arose in Lu Yu's heart, as if he was about to detach from this time and space, disappearing from the world.

In the haze, it was like he saw the river of time once more.

His mind trembled, Lu Yu suddenly reacted, hurriedly decreasing the time flow difference to prevent himself from breaking away from time and space, getting lost in the endless time.

Endless space turbulence and endless time turbulence are completely different concepts.

The former has a chance to drift and encounter a world bubble, finding an opportunity to leave.

The latter is something even the strongest ancestral beings would get lost in, difficult to escape, without space-time coordinates, forever unable to leave the endless time turbulence.

Lu Yu certainly didn't want to fall into a deeper peril.

"The time flow difference has reached nearly a hundred times…" Lu Yu looked at the surrounding space-time, a clarity in his heart, still within his control.

The changed time flow of space-time was limited to less than a zhang around Lu Yu, forming roughly a six-meter-diameter sphere.

Within this sphere, Lu Yu's time flow rate was a hundred times that of the opponent.

The desiccated alien had to approach Lu Yu to attack him, at which point the massive time flow difference would grant Lu Yu a chance to counterattack.

Sure enough, just as Lu Yu created this twisted space-time, the desiccated alien suddenly appeared behind him.

It seemed to teleport, suddenly appearing behind Lu Yu. Until it entered this twisted space-time, Lu Yu couldn't see its figure or detect its movements.

But now, to Lu Yu's eyes, its speed was only a bit faster than ordinary people.

His ordinary person status was based on his current realm standard—a normal Martial Cultivator at the Access Realm.
