Chapter 912: Awakening of Lu Yu
Underground, in a huge cave, there are flowers and small trees that emit green fluorescence.
The flowers grow strangely and the trees grow weirdly.
Among the dense and lush flowers and trees, large groups of small animals and poisonous insects unique to the underground roared, and driven by some kind of instinct, they rushed towards the core of the cave, where a person was lying on a withered tree stump, regardless of their own safety.
Lu Yu's body was in tatters, his two legs were missing, his left arm was broken at the shoulder, and even a large piece of ribs in his left chest had been blown away, revealing his damaged heart that was still beating tenaciously.
His right arm was intact. At this moment, he was holding the body of a small animal shaped like a lizard. He put it to his mouth and sucked the blood plasma of the small animal, and from time to time he made sounds of praise as if he was drinking nectar.
Near the wound on his body, the flesh and blood was slowly wriggling, constantly regrowing bit by bit.
Countless small animals and poisonous insects roared and rushed over, swarming towards Lu Yu like a tide.
One after another, invisible, soundless, lightless and shadowless... Yuan Mo with no sense of existence flashed around Lu Yu. When large groups of small beasts and poisonous insects got within a few feet of Lu Yu, their bodies inexplicably shrank and turned into a wisp of thin green smoke and dissipated in an instant.
The blood, spirit and soul of the small beasts and poisonous insects were drained in an instant. All the essence was poured into Lu Yu's body. The flesh and blood moved near the wounds on his body, and a faint vitality kept gathering, repairing the injuries on his body bit by bit.
It can be seen that Lu Yu's injuries were originally more serious. On his abdomen, the skin color of large areas was in sharp contrast. It was obvious that this place had suffered severe injuries. Large areas of skin had just been regenerated, and the skin color was obviously much more tender and lively than the nearby skin.
The blood plasma of a small animal was sucked dry, and a gurgling sound came from Lu Yu's stomach. He threw away. He patted his constantly squirming belly, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I, Lu Yu, am also a dignified Dayin..."
His eyes wandered for a while, and Lu Yu was a little dazed.
He inexplicably recalled the events of the past, and for a moment, he even forgot all the glorious titles and honors he once had in Dayin.
He thought back to his childhood.
I recalled the scene when I first met Lu Yi’s mother.
I remembered how when Lu Yi was just born, he was held in his hands like a little mouse, afraid that he would be bumped around or hurt, and so scared that he dared not move.
He gestured with his right hand and said, "Wow, it's even smaller than the mouse just now."
"Ah, I, Lu Yu, was well-known and an important official of the country, but now I have become like a savage, eating raw meat and drinking blood." Lu Yu shook his head and put aside the messy thoughts in his head. Inexplicably, he remembered his experience in the ancient city of Loulan.
"Ah, that young lady is quite capable." Lu Yu touched his chin with a nostalgic look: "What a pity. Alas!"
When in the ancient city of Loulan, Lu Yu was trapped in a secret place, but was discovered by a clone of the blood-colored beauty in the Nine Lotus Treasure Boat... God knows how he met the woman's eyes, and no one knows what the woman saw in Lu Yu, but it was a thrilling and extremely dangerous contest.
The beautiful woman used all means to attack Lu Yu wantonly, trying to plunder his origin and devour the demons he had refined.
As a result, with the strong entry of Tianshu Laojun and others, and the efforts of his beloved son Lu Yi, the ancient city of Loulan returned to normal. Lu Yi was spared the fate of being drained of his bones and marrow, and instead gained a lot of benefits from the young lady.
"He also said that he would follow those big shots, ascend to the upper realm and reap the fruits of their labor..." Lu Yu muttered.
Ever since Lu Yi's mother passed away, Lu Yu had a very stubborn obsession in his heart - immortality. Therefore, he even abandoned his son and ran away to wander around the world, following the master to dig graves everywhere, just to find a chance of immortality.
Later, when he truly entered the world of cultivation and gained a broader vision and more experience, Lu Yu finally understood that even those high and mighty beings, such as the Buddha of Liangyi Heaven, were not truly immortal.
How can ordinary people easily obtain such a luxury as immortality?
With great difficulty, Lu Yi hooked up with Laojun of the Heavenly Book and got the support of Linghu family. He thought that he could take advantage of Lu Yi's help to rise to the top and directly ascend to the Supreme Taichu Heaven, and enjoy the eternal and immortal years.
Unexpectedly, a huge explosion occurred halfway and blew him into this strange world.
The void twisted, and Lu Yu was thrown directly into the underground cave.
As soon as he appeared, a large group of startled strange insects and beasts rushed towards him without caring about their own lives, with a ferocious attitude that they were ready to pull out his tendons, skin him, and cut him into pieces.
But Lu Yu was more brutal and ferocious than them.
He released countless elemental demons, and devoured all the insects and beasts that approached him, using the process to recover from his injuries. Occasionally, when he was bored lying on the ground, he would catch a few small animals and insects, chew on their meat, and drink their blood.
However, the blood and flesh of the insects and beasts here are smelly and not really delicious.
Recalling the delicacies from land and sea, and fine liquors in his memory, Lu Yu clicked his right hand and pulled out some long grasses from beside him. He wanted to use the fortune-telling skills he learned when he followed the Master around and dug graves, to give himself a strong push on his fortune.
"This is a bad year!"
"I was able to take advantage of the wind and ascend to heaven, but I was blown away by someone... How bad is this?"
Lu Yu was muttering to himself, his eyes filled with bloodshot and a sense of evil rising in his heart.
When the ancient city of Loulan broke through the dimensional barrier, there was a sudden huge explosion. He saw clearly that his old father, Lu Yi's grandfather Lu Xiu, and many old men who had followed him all the way from Jishengtian and Yuanlingtian were directly reduced to ashes in the explosion.
It was so strange. In just a flash of light, a living person was gone.
Among them were the old monks who were once Mahakala and were subdued by Lu Yu in Yuanlingtian, several old monks with whom Lu Yu had a very good relationship, such as Jieying Toudao and Shafo Wuxin... These old monks stood happily on the city wall of the ancient city of Loulan, enjoying the spectacle of a huge city flying against the sky and constantly breaking through the spatial dimensions.
In particular, when breaking through the spatial dimension, the ancient city of Loulan forcibly broke through the dimensional diaphragm, causing huge space-time shocks, and an extremely strong rhythm of space-time rolled out. At that time, it was most suitable for comprehending the avenue of space-time.
For Buddhist monks, the basis of their magical powers is time and space.
How could the old monks let go of such a good opportunity to attain enlightenment?
So, when the huge explosion suddenly broke out, Lu Yu watched helplessly as a large group of old acquaintances were annihilated in the flash... If he had not used countless elemental demons to protect himself, allowing his remaining body to escape into the distorted space and time, he would have completely disappeared in the explosion.
"But what the hell is this place?"
Lu Yu grabbed a flying beast that was chirping and shaped like a bat, but with four fleshy wings, a pitch-black body, and very skinny with not much flesh on it. He brought it to his mouth, bit its neck with a "click", and began to suck on it in big gulps.
"Hic... this taste." Lu Yu complained loudly while swallowing his blood, "Don't let me know which bastard was responsible for the sudden explosion of the ancient city of Loulan. Hey, hey."
Faces flashed in my mind.
Lu Yu was thinking about the people in the ancient city of Loulan who might be able to cause a big explosion.
Tianshu Laojun? Unlikely... With his status and position, he wanted to kill everyone in the city, and then return to the Supreme Taichu Heaven, file a small report, and all the problems would be solved.
Commander Qing Feng? Not really. With his position in the Forbidden Sky Guards, if he wanted to kill everyone in the city, he could just arrest them and put them in jail, or kill them to silence them. Why would he have to be so sneaky?
Linghu Wuyou? Not really. With the status and position of the Linghu clan, the ancient city of Loulan was their territory. If big figures like Tianshu Laojun and Qingfeng Commander had problems on their territory, unless Linghu Wuyou wanted to perish with everyone else and wanted to cause the entire Linghu clan to be confiscated and exterminated, he would not have made such a stupid decision.
Ling Huan? Well, not really. She was a subordinate of Emperor Tai Mi. In this incident, Emperor Tai Mi was the victim... The emperor's son had died, and they were here to investigate the truth of the death of the emperor's son and to find out if anyone was plotting against Emperor Tai Mi.
They seem to have found something... Considering Ling Huan's origin as a member of the Holy Spirit Clan, her loyalty to Emperor Taimu is unquestionable. She couldn't possibly do such a thing.
"So, there are actually people from other forces hiding in the small ancient city of Loulan." Lu Yu murmured, "It's so complicated and dangerous. I didn't expect that the intrigues in the court would not be immune to this in the high-end upper realm."
"However, their intrigues are much more dangerous than the court struggles of the Great Yin Dynasty of Jishengtian."
"The ancient city of Loulan is so huge, and it can be blown up at any time..."
"The trusted ministers around the Great Emperor Taichu, the great men of the Supreme Heaven Court who are almost like the Prime Minister, can blow up at will... Tsk tsk, such methods, such character... There is a lot of water here!"
Lu Yu murmured, "Is anything going to happen to that bastard Lu Yu? Probably not. That kid is blessed with a good life."
"But we must also be prepared. What if?"
"If anything happens to that kid... hehe, I'll have to take revenge on him."
"Tsk, speaking of which, if anything happens to that kid, I'll have to have children and continue the Lu family line... Uh, that old lady in the ancient city of Loulan, what ? Tsk, tsk, she was ruthless, but that charm... Uh, bah!"
"To have children, you naturally need to find a good woman."
"As a good wife and a good mother, how can I marry someone who is not a decent woman?"
No one knew where Lu Yu's thoughts were going. His eyes were wandering, countless thoughts were coming and going in his mind, and wisps of demonic light were surging around him.
The ancient city of Loulan exploded, and he was swept into the void. He drifted in the extremely chaotic void for a long time before being swept out to this world. During the drift, Lu Yu's body, soul, and the Yuan Mo he had sacrificed absorbed some indescribable Tao rhyme and underwent some bizarre transformations.
For example, the demons he sacrificed.
They didn't know what kind of Tao rhyme they had absorbed. Now, even Lu Yu could not detect the existence of these demons unless he concentrated all his strength.
Lu Yu also suffered brain damage and great spiritual depletion. Now he had neither the energy nor the mood to figure out the changes of these demons.
In short, it’s a good thing, which is very good.
As for how subtle and mysterious the changes have been, let's study them slowly in the future.
Just as Lu Yu was lying here, preparing to 'eat and wait for death', waiting for the injuries of his soul and body to be completely healed, sharp whistling sounds came from all directions of this huge cave, from the entrances of large and small underground tunnels.
The sound initially came from the entrance of a tunnel. The walls of the cave made the sound vibrate and swirl back and forth, amplifying it several times. Then it was like a long-accumulated flood, and it spread through the entrances of dozens of other large and small tunnels.
Soon, more roars came from the tunnels.
Soon, there were flapping sounds of flesh wings and 'hissing' sounds breaking through the air coming from several tunnels. Then, from several tunnels, there were as many as twenty or thirty, or as few as a dozen or twenty, ugly, grinning Rakshasas, waving simple weapons, and flying out in a disorderly manner.
Lu Yu's pupils shrank, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, you mothers, have you lost the wrong child and raised the placenta?"
He raised his right hand and patted his mouth gently: "Sorry, sorry, I was so mean... Well, I can't blame you for being ugly. After all, it's my father's sperm and my mother's blood, a gift from my elders. It's not your fault that I'm ugly."
"Your mistake is that you are so ugly and yet you jump out to scare people."
"It's fine if you want to scare people, but do you want to eat people?"
Lu Yu opened his eyes wide, staring at the nearly one hundred Rakshasas that rushed out from several tunnels.
These Rakshasas also rolled their eyes and saw Lu Yu in unison.
They sniffed hard and smelled the extremely rich and fragrant scent of flesh and blood emanating from Lu Yu's wound. This was a scent of flesh and blood that was far more "rich, moist", "nutritious and sweet" than that of the Yaksha, the Yaojiao, and even the small beasts and poisonous insects in this world.
The Rakshasas stared at Lu Yu, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Lu Yu smiled and looked at these Rakshasas.
Around him, an invisible and traceless cold wind was blowing lightly, and hundreds of millions of demons turned into visible and invisible ones, hiding in the void of Mount Sumeru and mustard seeds. Within an area of dozens of feet, tens of thousands of subtle and overlapping formations were arranged.
Lu Yu himself also had many adventures.
Not to mention, he got some of the true essence of Buddhism from Lu Yi.
He is a true practitioner of both Buddhism and Devil, and has achieved profound attainments in both.
Even in the art of formation, Lu Yu had a higher talent and achievements than Lu Yu. However, Lu Yu's cultivation and strength could not catch up with Lu Yu, so his glory was overshadowed by Lu Yu.
All along, it was Lu Yi who made rapid progress, dragging Lu Yu and others to catch up and follow him all the way.
But if Lu Yu were left alone in the world, he would be a genius in the magic world who should not be underestimated!
As the formation was set up, a subtle demonic aura spread in all directions.
Using Buddhist methods and demonic techniques, all the emotions and desires were transformed into undetectable, unpredictable and unknowable subtle ripples of aura, which infect the souls of these Rakshasas invisibly and without a trace.
The creatures in this world have not yet evolved completely.
Even the simplest Five Elements Reversal Formation of Lu Fei could make those Yakshas and Rakshasas so infatuated that they lost their minds and knew what was going on in heaven or on earth.
Not to mention that Lu Yu's magic skill is far more magical than Lu Yi's Five Elements Reversal Formation.
The eyes of more than a hundred Rakshasas turned from scarlet to red. They roared in low voices and trembled, like wild beasts with surging blood on a spring night. They couldn't wait to rush towards the tree stumps beside Lu Yu.
They took a step forward and entered the great formation created by Lu Yu’s billions of demons.
They were immediately lost in the formation of countless mustard seed-sized spaces, where countless demons of the heart and illusion appeared and disappeared at will. What they saw before their eyes was nothingness, and what they felt with their bodies was all illusion.
It's all fake.
But all the false things were projected onto their bodies and souls, and the consequences became real.
Lu Yu had a thought, and in his mind, these Rakshasas turned into fat pigs on the butcher's chopping board... The next moment, these nearly one hundred Rakshasas broke apart silently, and their strong bodies comparable to those of heavenly generals were torn apart silently by their own powerful strength.
It’s not Lu Yu’s power.
Instead, it was the power in these Rakshasas that, under the stimulation of Lu Yu's magic, sprouted from within their bodies, like sharp knives, gently cutting through their bodies, their scales, their flesh, their bones, and then annihilating their own vitality.
Everything was done by themselves.
Countless demons pounced forward, and nearly a hundred Rakshasas whose physical strength was comparable to that of heavenly generals were reduced to ashes in an instant.
The vast blood essence, enormous vitality, and energy as mighty as a great river were purified by these demons and transformed into streams of blood that were injected into Lu Yu's body.
The essence, blood, and vitality of each Rakshasa surpass those of tens of thousands of small beasts and poisonous insects.
Lu Yu let out a slight sigh.
The wounds on his body were wriggling rapidly, and the flesh near the wounds was growing rapidly. Along with the sound of wriggling flesh and bones, Lu Yu's broken arms and legs were completely regenerated in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yu slowly stood up, and colorless demonic light surged around his body, instantly filling the entire huge cave.
In the tunnels, large groups of Rakshasas received waves of joyful calls from the ground, from their fellow Rakshasas who had discovered powerful groups of prey.
They flapped their wings and flew out.
They used this cave as a transit hub, preparing to go through a tunnel and head straight to the ground, gathering into a huge group of Rakshasas to hunt for delicious prey discovered by their own people.
More than eight hundred Rakshasas rushed into the cave almost at the same time.
They noticed Lu Yu at the same time, and their mouths watered - before enjoying the big meal, it seemed that they could have some snacks first?
The Rakshasas laughed in unison.
Lu Yu also smiled slightly, and subtle evil thoughts seeped out, corroding the bodies and souls of these Rakshasas in an instant, and mobilizing the power in their bodies to transform into invisible sharp knives, quietly dismembering their bodies.
The sheer power of these Rakshasas far exceeds that of Lu Yu.
However, facing Lu Yu's terrifying magic skills, they had almost no ability to fight back. They didn't even understand what was happening before they were annihilated with a light push from Lu Yu.
There were also acupoints in Lu Yu's body that lit up like stars.
He chanted the magic spell, and the vast Rakshasa blood was injected into these acupoints, which he constantly polished and lit up, and engraved the unique magic patterns that belonged to Lu Yu's own perception into these acupoints.
These magic patterns, which contain ever-changing and infinite mysteries, are invisible, colorless, tasteless, and insensible, almost "hazy", but they have infinite wonders of "illusionment of life and death", "life and death and plunder".
The nine acupoints have been polished.
Ninety-nine acupoints have been polished.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine acupoints, polished and finished...
When the thousandth acupoint was polished, Lu Yu's mind had regained its tranquility. In his hazy and chaotic mind, a faint black gold color rose up, gradually dyeing his mind into a dazzling sea of witch gold.
The low, faint murmur sounded like Buddhist chanting or magic sound, majestic and solemn, yet also enchanting.
Along with the strange murmuring and chanting, a surge of emotion rose in Lu Yu's mind. A broken mark was dragged out bit by bit by his rapidly growing power from the deepest part of his mind, from the core of his soul, from the center of the most original and fundamental imprint of his past, present and future, all eternal existence.
faint.
Restrained.
It was like a giant eye of a god or demon condensed from a black hole, hanging high above the mind, calm and silent, with a hint of immortality, overlooking the sky and watching the universe.
"I am..." Lu Yu muttered in a low voice.
The unpredictable Taoist aura on his body, which was like a demon or a Buddha, quickly became strong and mellow, and then spread rapidly in all directions, spreading along the tunnels to the huge caves and tunnel systems in all directions.
The Rakshasa tribes, the underground herds of beasts and insects of all sizes were annihilated one after another.
The vast essence, blood and vitality surged in and continuously merged into Lu Yu's body.
The broken mark squirmed, just like Lu Yu's body was repaired before, and began to slowly grow and heal on its own. When the mark was reborn, Lu Yu's aura became even more... terrifying!
His body was no longer satisfied with devouring a few rakshasas and small animals and insects.
The aura he exuded began to directly consume the Dao rhythm of the world.
Strands of invisible and traceless laws of the Tao turned into hazy mist visible to the naked eye, spinning and wailing, accompanied by various strange phenomena such as the distortion of the void, earth, water, fire, and wind, and were swallowed up by Lu Yu's body bit by bit.
"Well, I am..." Lu Yu smiled and nodded gently: "It doesn't matter who I am. Everything in the past has been wiped out."
"I am Lu Yi's father."
"I'm Lu Yu."
"I am me."
"No one else."
Inside Lu Yu's body, after he had absorbed a certain amount of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, a total of one million acupoints in his body lit up at the same time.
He shook his body slightly, raised his head, his eyes flashed, and the rock layer above his head that was hundreds of miles thick disappeared in an instant, revealing a round cave with a diameter of three meters.
Lu Yu's body shook and soared into the sky.
When he looked up, he saw the huge celestial ship hundreds of miles long, spanning the sky a hundred miles away!
"Oh, it's you!" Lu Yu smiled brightly.
