Chapter 318 The Divine Prodigy Who Sweeps Away Everything! The Ranch's Sovereignty! The Demise
Chapter 318 The Divine Abomination That Sweeps Away Everything! The Ranch Sovereignty! The Demise of the Ye Family!
Within the chaotic clouds and mist, three enormous shadows loomed, resembling mountains of flesh and blood, bringing an extreme sense of oppression.
The spirituality in the world began to overflow, but it became chaotic and disordered, making everyone feel a sense of dryness and unease.
Like animals when faced with natural disasters, they have an instinctive sense of awareness.
One of the figures was the first to pass through the mist, and what appeared before everyone's eyes was a...
Black goat.
It strolled on the ground of the pasture, chewing on soul grass, its snake-like tail swaying gently, looking somewhat silly and cute, and making a weak, listless sound.
"Meow~"
"A black goat?"
The Ye family members, who were on high alert on the ground, were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene.
Although he knew Lu Yu's trump card wouldn't be so simple, humans are visual creatures, and upon seeing that it wasn't a distorted evil object, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if it's some kind of strange beast, it shouldn't be too scary!
At the same time, Ye Lianqing, who was hanging on the Heavenly Calamity Star Spear, saw this scene and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He saw a glimmer of hope for survival and continued in a hoarse voice:
"Although I don't know what kind of strange beast you've found, the rituals set up by our ancestors are not something that can be broken by ordinary things. Why don't we shake hands and make peace..."
Before Ye Lianqing could finish speaking, he saw Zhu Ri carrying his prey away, his gaze growing increasingly dissatisfied.
"Woof!"
What happened?
Why are you taking so long to get things done? Are you planning to go back to work overtime?
"Meow—"
One sentence was enough to startle the black goat.
Click click click!
The next moment, a gale howled around it, and its original flesh and fur began to disintegrate, instantly turning into countless ribbons of flesh and blood that drifted in the wind and continued to grow.
Stab it!
At the ends of these ribbons, flesh was torn apart, and hissing venomous snakes emerged, greedily surveying the earth.
In the blink of an eye, the black goat transformed into a creature composed entirely of shadow, with a bare tree crown, a huge single eye on each of its four sides that wriggled constantly, and a ball of snakes that sprawled from its lower body, emitting hoarse roars.
A huge shadow loomed over the entire Ye family compound.
The Twilight Sovereign—The Mother Tree of All Desires!
"roar!"
The Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree roared to the sky, shaking the world. In an instant, the earth trembled, and many members of the Ye family fell to the ground in fright, staring in terror at the figure in the sky.
It's unimaginable how a black goat could transform into such a bizarre creature.
Even though the other party was clearly the sheep, their gaze was that of a gourmand selecting sheep outside the sheepfold, regarding them as food.
Greedy and twisted!
Before they could think it through, they saw the Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree suddenly move, like a spaceship that crushes planets, crashing violently into the ritual set up by the ancient giant.
boom!
Endless spiritual energy surged forth, stirring up a raging wind that swept across the world. Accompanied by a deafening sound, the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus trembled, as if it were wailing.
hum!
However, the ritual quickly drew upon the stellar energy from the depths of the Dark Star Domain and the Ye family's treasure vault, gathering vast starlight that swept across the tree, shaking off the Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree and shattering its numerous serpent whiskers into nothingness.
"roar!"
However, this only fueled its ferocity, and it roared as it charged forward again. At the same time, the twilight divinity within its origin spread dark shadows and venom, dripping and corroding the ritual barrier.
The starlight lotus leaves made a hissing sound as they broke apart. Although they were quickly replaced by more starlight lotus leaves, the Ye family members looked on in fear.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Ri's eyes darkened.
waste!
"roar!"
Sensing the gaze from behind, the Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Desires was terrified and frantically rammed against the barrier, shaking the earth. Its serpentine body crawled all over the barrier, devouring it madly.
The divine impact of Twilight impacted the barrier, quickly corroding a small hole. Although it would be repaired in an instant, the Mother Tree of Myriad Desires took this opportunity to insert a large number of snake whiskers into it. As the barrier was repaired, these whiskers were severed and fell to the ground, instantly transforming into a pitch-black pool.
"Hiss..."
With a chilling hissing sound, the swarm of snakes surged and swept across the Ye family's residence!
Although the guards managed to get to the front in time, they were completely overwhelmed by the surging, violent horde of snakes.
"No...please don't!"
A large number of pets perished, and members of the Ye family's guard were entwined by venomous snakes that easily pierced their skin with their fangs, injecting venom from the Twilight Ecosystem.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Their desperate wails were followed by countless shadowy curses that crawled all over their bodies. To the horror of the others, these curses turned into pools of liquid that merged with their own shadows, from which more snakes emerged.
Shadow-type advanced skill - Shadow Serpent's Venom!
All life that is killed will be transformed into shadow serpents, which will devour everything.
And under the command of the snake mother, they burned their life force to strengthen their shadow spirituality and launched an attack.
"roar!"
Seeing this, the four eyes of the Mother Serpent Tree were filled with cruel and tyrannical emotions, and excitedly attacked the barrier, as if to vent all the humiliation it had suffered in the pasture.
The Ye family members, on the other hand, felt extreme fear.
"Help!"
"Lu Yu, you've indiscriminately killed innocent people; the Alliance will not let you get away with this!"
"Please, please let me go!"
"Lu Yu, I'm willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light. I have evidence of the Ye family's crimes!"
"..."
Although the barrier has not been completely breached, slaughter has begun to spread within the Ye family's territory. Some are wailing, some are shouting angrily, some are filled with resentment, and some are kneeling and begging for mercy...
"The threat of the weak is like that of flies—all that remains is noise."
Lu Yu said calmly, continuing to inject primordial starlight energy into the ranch to further expand its coverage area.
He wouldn't have taken action if the Ye family hadn't been pressing him so hard, but now that he'd done it, there was no need to pretend to be virtuous.
They are direct descendants of the Ye family; even if they are spared, they will still hate them and become a hidden danger.
Cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots is the right way!
The three divine abominations, including the Mother Tree of Myriad Desires, have had most of their power stripped away after being nurtured by the Chaos Egg. This power has been transformed into items such as the Staff of the Dust Walker and the Crown of Decay. These are products of divinity, so their strength naturally could not remain the same.
If they were in their complete form, even if their true form was suppressed, they would still burst through the pasture.
The premise for livestock to be grazed is that they cannot exceed the control of the rancher; otherwise, they have another name.
Beast!
It's like the difference between a wolf and a dog.
However, as a superior-level evil god's follower, as long as it grows steadily, it will inevitably become an eternal giant, or even a higher level. Its essence is extremely powerful, and with a large amount of pasture to feed it, its strength has long been in sync with the pasture.
That is, the peak of the high-level Morning Star!
But this alone is not enough to shake the defensive ritual left behind by an ancient giant, which also contains his spiritual energy.
The spirituality of an ancient giant is highly concentrated and transformed, blessed by the Mother River. It can remain even after hundreds of years. If there are special rituals to maintain it, it can be preserved for thousands of years and display its power.
This is the heritage of a long-established family!
Even ordinary ancient giants would find it difficult to break through, and it would take a lot of time. But when daylight comes, what happened at the Ye family's residence will inevitably attract the attention of the Star Mine City Branch Alliance and the investigators.
This alarmed the entire Dark Star Alliance.
The Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree can be called a superior being because of its innate divine gifts. It is a divine being with higher-dimensional power, capable of spreading the ecology of evil gods.
If one can grow to the extreme, there is a chance to become an earthly angel, or even a human vessel for an evil god!
Before being herded, the three divine abominations of the ranch were already at the Eternal Sun level or close to that level, so it was normal for them to corrode spiritual energy of the same level.
The Serpent Mother Tree, in particular, possesses the characteristics of twilight and excels at breaking through defensive rituals and corroding everything.
During the Battle of Dayuan City, if it weren't for the White Fox repeatedly reversing time to restore its own state, and at the same time cooperating with the top-tier life-type artifact—the Starry Beast Tower—for defense, it would have been breached in an instant.
The Myriad Desires Serpent Mother Tree lost, not because it was weak, but because the White Fox was too overpowered and had the buff of the Gate Master!
Once the White Fox advances to the Eternal Blazing Sun realm, its power, based on the time system at the pinnacle of the supreme laws, will be enough to sweep away all opponents of the same level!
Now, one is a living follower of the evil god, only weakened in strength but unchanged in essence, while the Ye family's ritual is merely an inanimate object, not a true ancient giant; the remaining power within it will only be consumed and cannot be replenished.
With each impact, it will only become more and more dilapidated!
However, the Ye family ancestors left behind rituals in the hope of providing a safe haven for their descendants. They probably never expected that those in power would come to their doorstep to kill them!
"This is... that Twilight Familia from back then!"
With the border area connecting with the Dark Star Domain, they naturally pay close attention to relevant intelligence. Although its size has shrunk somewhat, Ye Lianqing still recognized the Myriad Desire Serpent Mother Tree as the evil god's familiar that attacked Dayuan City.
This discovery made his brain feel as if it had been turned into mush by an invisible stick.
Wasn't this evil god's servant killed by the disciple with the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King's spear from the Crimson Dragon Tribe?
Why did they end up here, and even become Lu Yu's lackey?
Could it be that Lu Yu was the mastermind behind the disaster?
Was it all just a performance he orchestrated himself?
He raised his head, his eyes filled with fear, and roared:
"Who exactly are you?"
Lu Yu ignored him, having no interest in showing off in front of a weakling who was about to die.
Receiving no response, Ye Lianqing said venomously, "Even if you kill me, the Ye family won't perish. On the contrary, once the Alliance discovers your collusion with the evil god's followers, the entire Alliance... no, the entire world, will have nowhere to hide. I'll be waiting for you down there, hahahaha!"
"That makes a lot of sense. Why don't we just kill you all?"
Lu Yu nodded in agreement, abruptly stopping Ye Lianqing's laughter. In Ye Lianqing's despairing gaze, Lu Yu extracted Ye Lianqing's essence, while Ye Lianqing's soul was transformed into a soul fruit by the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
Having dealt with the last remaining Radiant Moon at the Ye family's stronghold, Lu Yu said calmly:
"Stop being lazy!"
Although the serpent swarm was powerful, it was still limited by the level of the Myriad Desire Serpent Mother Tree itself.
The absence of Radiant Moon Realm cultivators in the Ye family's territory did not mean the absence of Morning Star Peak Realm cultivators; in fact, there were quite a few of them. They all took action to curb the snake swarm's attack and even turned the tables and strangled them!
This is also why Ye Lianqing made those harsh remarks.
However, he didn't notice that Lu Yu's other two divine beasts were still slacking off.
Just as Zhu Ri was about to attack, the Moon Bull reluctantly stepped out from the chaotic mist. The large female face embedded in its head was contorted with rage, and it roared continuously. However, under the influence of the ranch's power, all its words turned into eerie murmurs, becoming a vehicle for spreading the ranch's power.
Everything related to the ranch cannot be transmitted!
"Moo!"
The Moon Bull, freed from the constraints of the pasture, began to rapidly swell, transforming into a gigantic creature twenty meters tall.
Its appearance is somewhat similar to the Moon Howl Demon, with winding black and red bull horns growing on its head. The Great Mother is embedded in its abdomen, and its original face has become a "convex" shaped hole, which is pitch black inside, as if it contains a black hole. Its three phantom limbs are intertwined in a DNA form, and countless moon-colored tentacles spread from its body, constantly writhing.
As the Bull of the Moon returned to its original form, the silent, ancient Moon responded, and the spirit of the Moon gathered, condensing into a lunar projection in the sky, which sank along with it as it descended.
next moment,
The bull of the moon descended and kicked the barrier!
It was as if the ancient moon had fallen and struck the earth.
boom!
A violent roar swept through, the entire barrier trembled violently, and the Nine-Leaf Star Lotus shone brightly, rippling outwards.
However, amidst the Ye family's frantic prayers, calm was quickly restored.
invalid!
However, before they could even feel their joy, they saw the Nine-Leaf Star Lotus left by their ancestors begin to grow again, giving birth to a large number of smaller Nine-Leaf Star Lotuses floating about!
Ten flowers...
Twenty flowers...
Hundreds of flowers...
This ancient power, reserved by a colossal being to protect its descendants, was forcibly simulated during its gestation process, its originally solidified power being forcibly divided into hundreds of parts. The result was that the barrier weakened, and numerous cracks appeared on the defensive system, leaving it in a precarious state.
boom!
The Serpent Mother Tree and the Bull of the Moon joined forces to shatter it once more, turning it into a sky full of starlight that reflected the terrified gazes of the people on the ground.
The hunt begins!
The Mother Tree of Myriad Desires made its move, coiling around a Star Jade Serpent at the peak of the Morning Star realm. Numerous whiskers tore at it, devouring it completely in an instant, leaving not even a trace.
"roar!"
The Bull of the Moon landed on the ground, roared to the sky, and with a roar, shattered the houses and lives within a radius of several thousand meters into dust, which then mixed together. Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled, creating a gale that absorbed the dust into itself.
To the residents of Xingkuang City, the Ye family, who were high and mighty, were nothing more than roadside weeds for livestock to eat in front of the ranch.
"roar!"
As the hunt continued, both divine beasts entered a berserk state, preying on any life they saw, like a nightmare descending upon the Ye family, bringing them eternal despair.
If they weren't constrained by the ranch, they would have been mobile natural disasters ravaging the world.
Now they have been released to purge all disobedient ranchers!
As a ranch owner, Lu Yu's authority extended beyond simply containing and suppressing criminals.
It is both liberation and destruction!
"Damn it!"
As Ye Guangting watched his family, where he had grown up, being destroyed bit by bit, his eyes widened in fury, and his heart surged with murderous intent.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong. On the contrary, he wondered why Lu Yu would rebel against the Ye family. If he had given in, wouldn't everything have been fine?
The culprit behind this tragedy is Lu Yu!
Ye Guangting took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Taking advantage of the chaos and the fact that no one had noticed him yet, he quickly brought the terrified Ye Guangye into the house and then used a special spell to send him to a refuge known only to the head of the family.
"Brother, where is this?" Ye Guangye asked in confusion.
Ye Guangting grabbed his shoulders and earnestly instructed him:
"Guangye, you are the eldest son of the Ye family, the son of Ye Huihai, and also my younger brother, so you must learn to be strong."
This place was built by our ancestors as a refuge, in case the Ye family was ever wiped out by the other star families. At least it could leave a spark for the Ye family.
You can see what's happening outside through this portal. Wait until it's safe before coming out to tell the Alliance about Lu Yu's numerous crimes, and together with Father and the Grand Elder, avenge us!
"Brother, I'm scared..." Ye Guangye was also stunned and wanted to speak, but the secret vault was closed and completely sealed in a starlight space underground.
"Mitsuno, don't let me down!"
Ye Guangting silently thought to himself that it wasn't that he didn't want to hide, but as Lu Yu's mortal enemy, he would definitely be targeted by him.
Because the shelter is hidden thousands of meters underground, even those with extraordinary eye techniques or talents cannot find it. After all, if you can't see it, how can you find it?
But if Lu Yu were to search high and low for him, perhaps even the Ye family's last hope would be extinguished.
and so……
After Ye Guangting left the house, four magic arrays were set up, and four peak Morning Star level pet beasts appeared: the Heavenly Star Azure Lotus Demon, the Star Roaring Tiger, the Starlight Fairy, and the Starry Sky Tree Spirit. Their spiritual energy surged, and they unleashed the [Azure Meteor Leaf].
He roared, "Lu Yu, even if I die, I will make you know that the Ye family of the Stars... cannot be humiliated!"
After saying that, the starlight spiritual energy was vast, and the four pet beasts went all out, using their starlight killing moves to rush towards Lu Yu.
Whoohoo!
But the next moment, a gale howled, stirring up sand and dust that obscured visibility.
Before they could react, a huge, blood-red tongue swept over, forcibly taking away a large number of Ye family experts and Ye Guangting's four pet beasts, and dragging them into the chaotic mist.
"What is that!?"
At this moment, Ye Guangting discovered that a huge black toad-like figure was also living inside. It had many short claws and arms that grabbed the pets and swallowed them as they struggled, making a "crunch crunch" sound that sent chills down one's spine.
Accompanied by the ancient, resonant croaking of toads, the breath pulsed, and in the blink of an eye, it was digested.
"roar!"
The Serpent Mother Tree and the Bull of the Moon were filled with rage upon witnessing this scene.
This guy didn't work hard before, but now he's frequently stealing and eating his prey.
Lazy and greedy!
If it weren't for the watchful eyes of the sun, they would have all wanted to fight each other.
But now, they must seize the time to hunt their prey and enhance their spirituality, their gazes becoming increasingly ferocious and chaotic.
the other side.
"puff!"
Because he lost all four of his pet beasts at the same time, Ye Guangting's spiritual puzzle shattered, backfiring on his soul. He coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, his hair turned white at a visible speed, and his body aged prematurely.
"Heh...hehe..."
Looking at Lu Yu in the sky, who was not paying attention to him, Ye Guangting felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He regarded it as a formidable enemy, but from beginning to end, the other party did not pay any attention to him, like an ant on the roadside, baring its teeth and claws.
How ridiculous!
Thinking of this, Ye Guangting completely broke down and roared:
"Lu Yu, kill me! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
"Ye Guangting, actually, all of this is the trouble you caused."
Lu Yu appeared before him, looking down at this once noble young master, now reduced to a humble and frantic state, and sighed:
"The downfall of the Ye family is all because of you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Guangting was struck dumb, and then, refusing to accept reality, he roared wildly:
"No! It's not me! It's all because you, a peasant, refuse to submit. You think you're the savior of the common people, but I know that you, like us, are extremely selfish political creatures."
"Once you become an eternal giant, establish a family, and seize vast resources, you will only become a dragon, and even more evil than us..."
"The wailing of losers is filled with illusions, because in their world, everyone should be as despicable as themselves, but in reality..." Lu Yu said meaningfully, "You're still thinking too conservatively."
If he were to do evil, the whole world would be filled with fear.
It's simply that I don't want to; I have my own bottom line, which serves as an anchor for reason.
Unrestrained desires will only lead to destruction!
"..."
Ye Guangting was speechless. He had expected Lu Yu to deny it, to feign that he was acting for justice, but he hadn't expected this...
The other party said he was too conservative!
This guy is a demon!
It has surpassed the demon race, like the ancient great demon first conceived in the abyss, cruel, tyrannical, chaotic and disorderly.
Just as Ye Guangting was in despair, he heard Lu Yu continue speaking:
"But you have a point. I'm also curious whether I'll become the new dragon. So, if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I'll let you go this time. I'll kill you next time we meet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Guangting stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
So... I don't have to die?
Ye Guangting was stunned at first, then overjoyed. As the child of a political animal, he naturally would not be willing to die rather than submit. His previous madness was only because he felt that he was bound to die.
Now, Lu Yu has given him a sliver of hope for survival, and even if it's fake, he wants to fight for it.
Without hesitation, Ye Guangting knelt down and pleaded:
"Lu Yu, please, please let me go!"
He lay prostrate on the ground, his head smashed open and bleeding profusely. He dared not stop the bleeding, and slowly raised his head, only to find that Lu Yu had already turned and walked away.
It turned out to be true!
This guy is so arrogant that he actually let me go!
Ye Guangting lowered his head, hiding his resentful gaze, but his heart was filled with joy. What did dignity matter as long as he could survive?
He would ruin Lu Yu's reputation, make him wanted by the Alliance, and then have his father and the Grand Elder capture him, torture him to death, and wash away this shame.
Just as he was daydreaming about the future, a spear suddenly pierced his head. He said in disbelief:
"Why...why..."
Lu Yu turned around and looked at him with a smile:
"Because of us, we've met again!"
If you turn around and see each other a second time, isn't that just the next time you meet?
After all, the philanthropist Lu has always been kind-hearted and doesn't like seeing people lonely. He prefers to help them reunite with their families!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Guangting turned to ashes amidst his immense resentment, his soul being devoured by the ranch.
At the same time, the entire Ye family was completely destroyed and reduced to ruins.
All the survivors were either killed by the abominations of the gods or turned into grass in the pasture.
Just as they were about to return, the two divine abominations exchanged a glance and suddenly rushed off in opposite directions, trying to take the opportunity to break free from the pasture's constraints.
Just when they thought they could escape, huge eyes burning with silver flames opened up in the edge of the ranch, blocking their way.
At the same time, the sun appeared in the sky, smiling down at them.
"roar!"
The Great Demon Moon Howl and the Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Desires attacked with all their might, trying to kill the vicious dog that had been tormenting them, but the next second, they were slapped back to their original forms.
While Sun Chaser's greatest advantage in external combat is its immortality, it also creates a special ranch mark on ranch creatures, giving them extremely high resistance and suppression capabilities, making it a true god-tier creature in internal warfare!
Moreover, it had already buried dozens of traps at the edge of the pasture to prevent this from happening.
Therefore, there is never any worry that livestock on the ranch will have a chance to escape.
"Woof!"
Since you made a mistake this time, I'm punishing you by canceling your ten-minute rest time every month. You'll have to stay by my side and eat grass, creating more value for your master!
As he spoke, the tentacles on the suns curled back, dragging them back into the depths of the pasture amidst their desperate howls.
As for the sleeping toads, they were already sleepy after eating and started to sleep, not understanding their suicidal behavior.
Isn't it good to have food and drink?
The ranch disappeared, and Lu Yu put away the spoils collected by the little spider. Looking at the destroyed Ye family home, he sighed.
"When will this cycle of revenge end!"
After saying that, he disappeared into the void rift opened by the little spider.
About half an hour later, under the vast starlight, Ye Huihai returned. Looking at his destroyed family estate, his body trembled, unable to believe what he was seeing. He roared in fury:
"Who is it!"
At this moment, the starlight gates converged, and Ye Guangye rushed out from within, hugging his leg and sobbing:
"Father, brother, mother, sister, and many more—they're all dead. Lu Yu killed them all. We must take revenge! We'll turn him into my toys and torture him for all eternity! Waaaaah..."
However, Ye Guangye's eyes did not show much sadness, but rather fear and surprise, because his brother was dead, and he would become the eldest son of the family, and no one would care for him anymore.
But Lu Yu, who had frightened him, also wanted to obtain the other's ability to turn people into animals, so he wanted his father to kill him and turn him into his toy.
Maybe he can become that strong too!
Above all things...
Just as Ye Guangye was enjoying the bright future, a familiar voice rang out:
"finally found you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Guangye trembled, his expression gradually turning terrified. He subconsciously raised his head, and the figure that came into view made him tremble uncontrollably.
"Ye Huihai" has somehow become...
Lu Yu.
"As expected, there were still some who slipped through the net. I didn't expect them to be hiding in the shelter buried deep underground. I almost fell for their tricks. Luckily, I always keep a backup plan."
Lu Yu looked at him with a smile:
"What did you just say you wanted to turn me into?"
Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.
Lu Dashanren is a professional!
PS: I was in high spirits after writing 7,400 words, but when I looked at the data, I completely lost it. There have been a lot of things going on at home lately, and my eyes have been bothering me. I finally managed to get a featured spot, but after the data was displayed, the conversion rate was only 10 to 1. A lot of people have gone to pirate the content, and the readership is dropping. The editor also said that if things continue like this, it will be difficult to get a featured spot in the future. Sigh, it's a vicious cycle.
However, I am very grateful to the readers who have been silently supporting and subscribing. Without you, this book would not have been written to this day. Many good books are thanks to your support.
I'm feeling lost right now. It feels like all my hard work writing and updating like crazy isn't paying off. My family is also in turmoil. My mom keeps telling me I don't need to work so hard, and there are all sorts of other things going on. I feel numb. Oh well, I guess it's my own fault for not being good enough. I'll just leave it at that. I'll speed up the main storyline and finish it around the middle of next year. That way, I won't get accused of padding or writing too much. I want to write less, even more than you do.
