Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 649 - 349: Entering the Netherworld_3

A large number of thick scales grew on its body, covering the wounds on the chest of the puppet. Its eyes transformed into the pupils of an unknown creature, resembling pomegranates, with tiny eyeballs moving densely within the large eyeball.

The distorted puppet's strength suddenly rose to the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm, one of Yang Jueshang's special moves.

Screech~ The air was sliced open with an exceptionally swift sound, Lu Yu's expression turned slightly serious as a blood mark appeared on his chest from the puppet's axe.

He could still fight against the previous puppet, but the power that the puppet now unleashed far surpassed his limits.

Furthermore, the battle on the other side was already over.

Lu Yu's right eye lit up with flames, emanating boundless heat waves from his body. The light from his right eye grew increasingly intense, making Yang Jueshang, who was watching him, feel as if he was staring at the noon sun, slightly dazzling.

Yang Wu huddled miserably with the two-segmented Blood Refining Demon Fan, watching from afar as the Executioner approached Lu Yu.

He felt the surrounding air was a bit hot and dry, seemingly odd.

Not only him, but Yang Shang and Yang Mie also sensed it, though it was less intense since they were farther away.

The Executioner was a machine devoid of emotion, even though he could sense the temperature rising, he still firmly approached Lu Yu, who was his sole target.

Yang Jueshang's alarm bells in his heart rang loudly, almost reflexively, his Flesh and Bone Staff Divine Soldier in his hand exploded instantly, transforming into a film of flesh that enveloped him.

Boom! Endless heat waves rushed in all directions, making it impossible to see Lu Yu's location.

He became the outlet for the power of the Solar Star, releasing immense power from the Solar Star within him, even manipulating the unrefined Solar Star power to gush out together.

Although he had to endure the backlash from the Solar Star's power, it greatly boosted the power of the Fiery Sun's descent.

This was almost his strongest skill currently, even surpassing the power unleashed by using Asura Slash.

The grade of Asura Slash was no longer enough to meet his realm requirements, unable to fully express his power.

As a seventh-grade martial art, reaching the Core Formation Realm was already its limit.

In the Core Formation Realm, seventh-grade martial arts had almost become just techniques for utilizing power, significantly reducing the effect of amplifying power.

Take Lu Yu's Asura Slash for example, originally at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, he could gain a tenfold power boost using Asura Slash.

But with the strength of the Core Formation Realm, only a fivefold power boost remained.

Actually, adding the base boost of the Core Formation Realm, it can be seen that the power boost from Asura Slash hadn't changed compared to before the breakthrough.

The change was in Lu Yu's own strength, mere techniques could no longer greatly enhance his attack power.

The power boost from Divine Soldiers became the main source of his combat strength.

Whoosh~ The little sun descending on Kugu Ridge vanished, leaving behind a land of chaos, with residual flames everywhere on the ground, and sparks occasionally popping from the earth.

The disappeared valley reappeared before Lu Yu, forcibly blown out by the Solar Star's power.

Yang Jueshang had vanished, and near Lu Yu was a charred corpse over four meters tall, which should be the puppet that had unleashed the ninth-level Core Formation Realm power.

Unfortunately, it hadn't had the chance to act before falling to the fierce flames of the Solar Star.

Further away, there was a blade, burned red, lying on the ground, while the Executioner had already turned to ashes.

Lu Yu walked to the charred puppet, surprised to find it wasn't entirely dead; its exterior was burnt, but inside, there was still a trace of vitality.

"Truly terrifying; fortunately, I acted decisively, or the outcome would have been uncertain," Lu Yu remarked, then ended the puppet's remaining life force.

[Killed Yang Jueshang's puppet, gained 8.1 million experience points]

Walking to the Beheading Saber of the Executioner, Lu Yu picked up this Divine Soldier with a decapitating effect, instantly feeling invincible with the blade in hand.

Soon, he broke free from the Beheading Saber's influence; with his Spiritual Power, the fallen Artifact Spirit of the Divine Soldier couldn't sway him.

"This is a Demon Blade," Lu Yu concluded, storing the Beheading Saber in his backpack.

His backpack now contained three Divine Soldiers.

Demon-Breaking Saber 1-star Divine Soldier, Effect: Strong Demon-breaking.

Black Iron Eagle Claw 2-star Divine Soldier, Effect: Durable, Sharp.

Beheading Saber Unknown Star Level, Effect: Suspected one-cut kill.

Trading them for resources or using them to sacrifice in refining his Divine Soldiers was a good choice.

Lu Yu wasn't sure if others' Divine Soldiers could absorb sacrificed Divine Soldiers, but his Fiery Sun Star could, possibly because the essence of the Fiery Sun Star was the sun that melts all things?

Lu Yu stored his battle loot, scanning the battlefield, but didn't see any surviving enemy.

The spring of the Yinming Cold Pool had appeared; he didn't have time now to trouble the Yang family, and after glancing towards Beifeng City, he turned towards the spring of the Yinming Cold Pool that was blown open.

He could distinctly sense the cold aura emanating from below.

Following the cold aura, digging downward, Lu Yu reached a cavern with accumulated Netherworld Cold Qi, with a spatial rift in the middle leaking the Netherworld Cold Qi.

What surprised Lu Yu was that standing there, he didn't feel the cold.

The key was that he hadn't used his Solar Star power for protection, completely exposed to the Netherworld Cold Qi.

The Yinming Cold Qi was a diluted version of the Netherworld Cold Qi, mixed with much Spiritual Qi from the Divine Martial Realm, significantly weakening its power.

The Netherworld Cold Qi belonged to the Netherworld's Spiritual Qi, but for beings of the Divine Martial Realm, it was deathly, life-draining air.

Logically, Lu Yu, as a normal being, should also be affected by the Netherworld Cold Qi's erosion, but he felt somewhat comfortable here, especially with his right hand, feeling as if running in cold water on a hot day.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu was momentarily stunned, with Zhao Tianjue's words ringing in his mind, suddenly realizing he referred to his right hand.

He raised his right hand, eyes flickering with light, speculating: could the Great Annihilation Finger be a divine technique of the Netherworld?

If this speculation was true, it was no wonder he couldn't find any records of the Great Annihilation Finger divine technique in the Divine Martial Realm.

It's unclear how the Great Annihilation Finger ended up drifting to the Divine Martial Realm.

Besides, Lu Yu had another thought, which was to complete the Great Annihilation Finger.

The Great Annihilation Finger displayed an unknown grade because it wasn't complete; it was only part of a complete divine technique.
