Chapter 340 The Ultimate Secret of the World
Chapter 340 The Ultimate Secret of the World
At this moment, Li Yu was both excited and frightened.
The excitement came from the fact that he saw the "target", the strange object embedded in the forehead of the demon lantern fish. It was actually a thing similar to a mirror fragment, very ancient and full of traces of time.
By chance, Li Yu saw some light and shadow fragments flashing inside, and his heart skipped a beat and he guessed:
"That thing looks like a soul crystal?"
"After death, some powerful entities' souls will not disperse, and such strange objects will be extracted. Their life experiences and the essence of their souls will be concentrated in them."
"Getting a soul crystal is equivalent to getting a complete inheritance, and it even comes with a large amount of mana and magic power."
"The soul crystal that appeared in the depths of the Misty Sea is most likely left by an ancient entity. There must be some ancient secrets in it..."
"I won't let go even if you cut me in half."
It sounds ridiculous, but Li Yu really thought so.
In his current condition, being cut in half wouldn't be considered a serious injury and he could recover just by thinking about it.
But if this "big fish" escapes, he will be extremely heartbroken.
Question the fishermen, understand the fishermen, and become a fisherman.
Li Yu completed this process in the blink of an eye.
So when he finished speaking, the tremendous power of the diamond in his body was completely released.
The whole person swelled up visibly.
He couldn't help but let out a muffled growl and began to wrestle with the "demon lantern fish".
It is said that Li Yu is now a Sequence Four Strong Man, and he also possesses an alienated divine organ such as the [Vajra Glass Buddha Bone] in his body. He has the power to move mountains. Naturally, he also has the ability to drag up a strange fish as big as a mountain.
However, that big fish also had a background.
It itself is a descendant of an alien bloodline from ancient times, and it accidentally obtained a soul crystal fragment that was obviously left behind by a divine entity after its death. Although it cannot survive away from the foggy sea for eternity, the power and wisdom it possesses in the sea are far greater than those of other demon anglerfish.
The most crucial thing is that the magical powers that Li Yu, as the "Master of Bait", is proficient in cannot be used because of the Eternal Mist.
If it was just a competition of strength, Li Yu would really lose.
Just three or two breaths!
Li Yu was at a disadvantage in front, and the fishing line was taut, making a creaking sound as if it was about to break at any time. Li Yu's body was constantly being dragged to the end of the tree branch.
It is obvious that if he is unwilling to let go in the end, he will fall into the sea of fog and will surely die.
Despite this, at this moment he still attracted a lot of attention and some whispers of exclamations.
"I've caught a fish already? What kind of luck is this?"
"A demon lantern anglerfish, and one that has swallowed a soul crystal. This is really good luck."
"I smell the scent of a toad, the breath of the Toad God? But even with the blessing of the Toad God, it cannot break through the blockade of the Eternal Mist, and the lucky magic will be ineffective."
"It's just a benefit for newbies. When I first came here, I caught a [Corpse Fairy Eel] with my first cast. It's not much rarer than this Demon Lantern Fish."
"I won't be envious, because this human has a weak body and weak limbs. It is impossible for him to drag the big fish up."
"The followers of the Lord of the Curtain do have strange means, but this is the [Sea of Mist], which is invulnerable to all means. All we have to do is brute force, and humans, as a race, just happen to lack brute force."
……
These sounds also entered Li Yu's ears.
But at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to it.
After discovering that his own mighty power was no match for the brute strength of the giant fish below.
Li Yu did not hesitate and took ruthless action against himself.
He first swallowed the golden needle of the Great Light Buddha Mother alive. While being overwhelmed by severe pain, his body also briefly gained the great power of an arhat.
Still feeling it was not enough, he called for help from his sister Yi Ge, who was number one on the list.
These two methods can both borrow tremendous strength.
But the price is not small. The former will produce a lot of pollution backlash, and the latter will make the blood relationship between Li Yu and Yi Ge even deeper. If he continues to borrow the power of the Vortex God without limit, he will sooner or later become Yi Ge's half-brother. At that time, Yi Ge may not do anything, but the Vortex God, who is happy to be a mother, may not.
But at this point, he had already done it regardless.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a Vajra Arhat with strange whirlpools all over his body. As he roared, a force several times more powerful than before erupted.
"Come up to me!"
Li Yu was so angry that his words came true.
The demon fish was caught off guard and had no time to dive into the deep sea. It jumped into the reef and was pulled out of the water.
With another pull, he officially left the area covered by the eternal fog.
Without the protection of the Eternal Mist, it immediately suffered.
First, the softest part of the huge fish body inexplicably hit a sharp branch of the World Tree's trunk, and was ripped open on the spot, losing most of the strength to struggle. Obviously, this was a blessing of luck from the Toad God, who rarely asked Li Yu to pay any price and took the initiative to help.
In terms of action, it was helping to catch the fish, but the fish didn't escape.
After being severely injured, the big fish felt as if its entire body was entangled by hundreds of invisible and intangible silk threads. At the same time, it also felt that the bait in its mouth was extremely sweet. It was unwilling to open its mouth even if it died from it.
There is also the power of time and space, which carries it up rapidly.
"call"
"It worked."
"If I still can't win, I will either use the power of my 'hooked big fish', such as the powerful Evil Buddha, to pull for me across the world. It will definitely work, but the benefits and costs are too disproportionate... Or I can risk the unknown danger and ask for help from these fishermen on the scene."
"I guess the latter is the most effective and has the lowest risk."
Li Yu silently prepared his second idea.
Immediately, amidst the envious gazes from all around, he dragged the huge demon anglerfish as big as a mountain onto the tree branch of the World.
Looking at the amazing big fish in front of me, relevant information automatically emerges in my mind. Since it is a task, there will naturally be relevant fish illustrations.
Speaking of this atlas, Li Yu also regarded it as a gain, after all, it brought progress in the truth.
"The flesh of the demon lantern anglerfish is extremely delicious and is one of the favorite foods of the three tribes of the Demon Boat."
"In addition, its scales and bones can also be used to make magical instruments."
"That lantern demon pupil is an excellent extraordinary material. Any water-attributed deity would desire it, such as the Mingshen Sect."
"But none of this matters."
Li Yu did not waste even a second, and did not even have time to hang up the magic lantern anglerfish.
As soon as he dragged it up, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and after a "puff" sound, he directly dug out the soul crystal.
Originally, even after leaving the foggy sea, the anglerfish still had some power to resist.
For example, it is extremely poisonous, and its lantern demon eyes can release hypnotic and bewitching divinity, and it can spit out venom and poisonous mist, etc.
If one really wants to suppress it completely, even someone as strong as Li Yu will need a lot of time.
But who can blame Li Yu for having another brother who is at the top of the list?
It turns out!
As the god of fun, the Toad God really enjoys watching this kind of crazy and extraordinary fishing.
Seeing that Li Yu caught a fish, he immediately used a blessing to drain its blood and weaken its strength, so that Li Yu had no risk of escaping the fish, which made him much luckier than the three unlucky guys before. After getting the "Soul Crystal Fragment" that he really wanted, Li Yu didn't even look at the demon lantern anglerfish for a second, and directly hung it on the world tree next to it, continued to drain its blood, and waited to sell it to the three tribes of the Demon Boat after it was over.
Then he threw the second shot without hesitation.
His excited posture looked like that of a fisherman who was completely addicted to fishing.
Of course, his addiction did come back.
He showed a brilliant smile without any hesitation, and whispered: "Come again, come again, since there is the first one, there must be the second, the third, the fourth..."
In the void, on the branches of the world tree that stretched far away in the foggy sky, one by one, the special strong men looked at Li Yu's eager appearance, and they all had a familiar sense of déjà vu.
Once upon a time, they were like that too.
Although there was not much hostility or malice, there were also many people who cursed Li Yu.
"I was lucky enough to catch just one fish, but you were expecting to catch another one."
"I caught a weak little human, but where's my fish?"
"It really smells like a toad. Humph, without the blessing of the Toad God, the demon lamp anglerfish will definitely run away."
"If I can catch a second fish of this little thing, I will eat the excrement of the master of the furnace."
"Really? That stuff is hot, scalding, and smelly. Even if you are a demigod, you won't die instantly if you take a bite, but you will be seriously injured."
Li Yu could tell that the owner of each noise was much more powerful than him.
In a sense, it was like he had accidentally entered a high-end place.
Even though he is now at Sequence Four level, he is still considered a big shot in Wanfu City.
But the sea of fog is special after all.
Those who can come here and ignore the three tribes of the Demon Boat and occupy the position to fish are all absolutely strong.
Fortunately, there are obviously some invisible rules in this fishing ground.
No matter how dissatisfied or hostile they were, no strong man attacked Li Yu.
The three figures who had been fighting over a lost fish soon stopped fighting, returned to their respective fishing spots, and continued casting their rods.
"It should be some unwritten rules that require keeping quiet and stable or something like that."
"Once it is destroyed, it will be attacked by everyone."
"So, I just have to ignore them."
"Since fishing here depends entirely on luck and there is no way to resort to tricks, I might as well take a look at the secrets of the ancient times first..."
When the thought came to his mind, Li Yu had already silently held the soul crystal fragment in his hand.
Separate a part of your mind and soul and start reading and absorbing.
The fishing addiction is strong, it is true.
But compared with "voyeurism", which is Li Yu's original bad habit, it can only be put at the back.
Especially the secrets he is exploring and pursuing now.
Involving the ancient gods!
Whether in this world or in the boundless spiritual world, this is an extremely rare and precious secret.
Li Yu's series of actions can be regarded as top-level extraordinary archaeology.
Even though he was only just getting started!
The three questions that the Buddha Mother answered can be considered the first piece of the puzzle.
In front of us is the second piece of the puzzle.
Read the prerequisites for absorbing soul crystal fragments and resist the pollution in them first.
This was naturally bearable for Li Yu.
As a person who possesses the Soul of Truth, his "resistance" in this regard is much stronger than that of many Sequence Three and Sequence Two masters.
Especially since he did not want to absorb the remaining divine energy in it, he just wanted to check his memory.
The next moment, after paying the price of fear in his heart and slightly rotting his body.
He began to read the remaining fragments of images from a first-person perspective, as well as the obsessions, desires and last words left by the soul crystal owner before his death.
"The owner of the soul crystal is a divine entity called [Mikalo]."
"He is an ancient god, or a powerful being, that existed in the ancient times. After all, according to today's standards for divinity, gods were everywhere in that era."
"His power is corruption, but it only targets living things. He is also the protector of a group of native insects."
"In the ancient era, he was not considered a strong man, so it was natural that he died in the battlefield of the gods."
"Before he died, he was still thinking about his family, so he burst out with strong obsession and tried his best to leave behind the soul crystal inheritance."
……
Along with these information, Li Yu saw them.
Although it was very blurry, incomplete and flickering, it still shocked him:
It seemed to be a boundless and endless world, completely shrouded in eternal fog.
In there, there existed a large amount of unimaginable divine energy, billions of rainbows representing opportunities, countless and majestic spiritual tides, and chaos eggs flying everywhere in the space... It seemed that even the most ordinary life form, as long as it was in it, had the chance to become a divine entity.
"The world of the ancient era?"
"The original form of the infinite spiritual world?"
"The birthplace of the gods?"
"The place where everything originated?"
A large number of questions involuntarily flooded Li Yu's mind, and along with them came an uncontrollable throbbing.
At this moment, he even had the urge to use another bubble of truth.
But reason stopped him again. If it was just a small piece of soul crystal, even if he consumed a bubble, he might not be able to glimpse more secrets. It would be better to just watch it directly.
Fortunately, this ancient god, who had a weak presence in the ancient era, revealed more unimaginable secrets to Li Yu in part of his last words:
"My children, I was born from the Well of Eternity, and my initial form was a Chaos Egg."
"I was born with other gods."
"Most of them are also Chaos Eggs."
“But there are some older entities. They seem to be survivors of the ‘previous era’. In some way, they survived in the Well of Eternity, waiting for the next eruption of the Well of Eternity and reshaping the primordial universe.”
"This seems to be an eternal rule. After the primordial universe was created, it would be erupted by the Well of Eternity and release its origins in rounds, thereby shaping layer upon layer of material universes."
"When the Well of Eternity erupted for the last time, I was born in the primordial world and was hatched 100 million years later."
"I hatched too late."
"Most of the benefits were taken away by other gods. I just grabbed a portion of the source of decay."
“If children have the opportunity to find the Well of Eternity, even if it is just the remains after the eruption, they may have a chance to become gods.”
