Cultivating Through The Game

It saw the Thunder Source Fruit tree at the bottom of the deep pit, and all five Thunder Source Fruits on the tree had disappeared.

The Wind Thunder Flood Dragon's wings vibrated behind it, transforming into a blue light that vanished on the spot, speeding off into the distance.

In its perception, there was an earthy-yellow light cluster underground rapidly fleeing from here, and even with its speed, it felt somewhat strenuous to pursue it.

Lu Yu was using the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step underground for the first time.

The Heaven's Edge Ruler Step can be performed in sync with the Earth Escape technique, something Lu Yu knew when he first learned this Body Technique.

However, at that time he couldn't fully master the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step. To use it in such complex underground environments was akin to seeking death.

After acquiring the Ice Jade Eye and enhancing his abilities, Lu Yu could fully control the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step, greatly increasing safety in underground movement.

At the very least, he wouldn't crash into some impenetrable object at high speed and kill himself.

The range of objects through which Earth Escape can travel is extraordinarily vast: soil, rocks, mud... although the movement speed varies in different scenarios.

Objects like tree roots, solid metal, or underground rivers — anything outside the realm of "earth" — cannot be traversed using the Earth Escape technique.

The greatest danger in using the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step in Earth Escape mode is colliding with solid metal ores.

Generally, metal ores that appear as solid blocks within the earth are not ordinary metals.

With Lu Yu's physique, crashing into these metal ores at high speed would have serious consequences.

Perceiving a solid object ahead, Lu Yu would adjust his direction to avoid colliding directly, regardless of whether it was a solid metal ore or not.

Racing past that complete object, Lu Yu saw it was a pangolin monster sleeping underground.

After Lu Yu passed, the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon followed closely behind, causing the sleeping pangolin monster to awaken in fright due to the terrifying aura emitted by the Flood Dragon.

The powerful presence flashed by, and the pangolin monster breathed a sigh of relief, thankful it wasn't there to cause trouble for it.

Just as it intended to lie back down to continue sleeping and cultivating, a tremor came from above, followed by another terrifying presence comparable to the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon, causing the pangolin monster's body to tremble uncontrollably in fear.

Once the aura passed, it hurriedly dug a hole to leave the area.

With so many powerful monsters passing through here, it was too dangerous!

The Wind Thunder Flood Dragon darted through the sky, fixated on Lu Yu, with the Purple Lightning Lion King relentlessly chasing, gradually falling behind yet never giving up.

Hong Chu stood on a tree branch, supporting himself against the tree trunk and panting, partly from exhaustion, partly from anger.

This time's losses were severe; he didn't know how to account for them upon returning.

Thinking of the person who had given him the information, Hong Chu wished he could skin him alive; if not for his misleading, would his losses have been so dire?

All the elders and disciples on his side were wiped out, and even the Grade Seven Spiritual Weapon — the Mysterious Heaven Mace — was lost.

Bam! Hong Chu punched the tree, leaving a fist mark on the trunk.

Suddenly, Hong Chu sensed a familiar aura rapidly approaching him, and looking towards the source of the aura, he saw a cyan figure mixed with electric light swiftly flying toward him.

Hong Chu's face immediately turned livid; he quickly summoned his energy and leaped off the trunk, transforming into a rainbow light to flee.

The big tree fell with a crackling sound, crushing countless smaller trees beneath it.

Underground, an earthy-yellow light raced by rapidly, indifferent to the fallen trees.

Whoosh~ The wind howled, and the surviving smaller trees, not crushed by the big tree, had countless leaves torn off by the fierce wind, leaving them bare.

A figure wrapped in electric light swiftly flew past, leaving a sea of trees flattened by the air current in its wake.

After an unknown amount of time, a blue figure flew over from this place.

The chase continued.

Upon emerging from underground, Lu Yu's movement speed could be even faster, but coming out would be courting death.

While moving underground, the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon had to divert attention to locate Lu Yu's position, preventing it from flying at full speed. If Lu Yu dared to leave the ground and appear in the air,

with the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon's speed, it could catch and kill him in no time.

Currently, Lu Yu did not possess the power to contend with the peak Spirit Sea Realm adversaries.

Hong Chu's face flushed red with strain; he was flying at full speed, yet his Spiritual Power consumption exceeded his recovery rate.

Despite this, he sensed the powerful aura behind him constantly getting closer and closer.

He felt he couldn't hold on much longer...

Suddenly, the forest ahead ended abruptly, revealing a gigantic cliff in front of him, the opposite side at least twenty to thirty kilometers away.

Underground, Lu Yu also suddenly felt the absence of soil ahead and emerged onto the surface.

It was an enormous Great Rift Valley.

Sensing the aura behind rapidly approaching, Lu Yu saw a figure below quickly fleeing and instinctively chased after it.

He had already noticed Hong Chu's presence long ago.

If he dared to head down, there must be an escape route below.

Having escaped for so long, Lu Yu had severely deviated from his original direction, losing his way, and could only follow Hong Chu's lead.

The Wind Thunder Flood Dragon sensed the intensified aura on Lu Yu, eyes gleaming with joy, indicating Lu Yu had left the underground. With a flick of its four wings, it accelerated further in pursuit of Lu Yu's position.
