Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 456 - 276: Report_2

He started to believe Lu Yu's words more, as this place was indeed a good location to nurture corpse puppets. If he had known about this treasure land earlier, the strength of his seven puppets would have increased two to three times as much.

While Yang Jueshang was entirely focused on the puppet, Lu Yu was quietly taking action, glancing at the remaining experience points he had, over 8 million experience points left.

So he decided to plunge all the experience points into Heaven's Edge Ruler Step.

By consuming 1 million experience points, Heaven's Edge Ruler Step advanced to the pinnacle level.

By consuming 2 million experience points, Heaven's Edge Ruler Step reached the mystical skill level.

By consuming 5 million experience points, Heaven's Edge Ruler Step achieved the unrivaled level.

After consuming 8 million experience points entirely, Lu Yu's mind underwent a dramatic transformation, as massive amounts of information on practicing Heaven's Edge Ruler Step flooded his mind, continuously refreshing his understanding of it.

When Lu Yu's mind calmed down, his understanding of Heaven's Edge Ruler Step had risen to a new height.

Now, given a chance, he was confident in escaping from the encirclement of the crowd.

The unrivaled Heaven's Edge Ruler Step lived up to its name—Heaven's Edge Ruler!

Lu Yu only needed to take a step to cover a distance equivalent to the value of consumed Spiritual Power multiplied by one meter. He currently had over 160,000 Spiritual Power, consuming it all at once, he could step over 160,000 meters.

The maximum distance he could traverse depended on the strength of his physical body. The stronger he was, the longer the distance he could cross. Given Lu Yu's physical strength, stepping over 160,000 meters was still not possible.

However, covering a distance of 30,000 to 40,000 meters in one step was still easily achievable. Coupled with the limitless Spiritual Power provided by the Eye of the Sea, Lu Yu could instantly cross thousands of miles, making it impossible for the average person to catch up.

Now, Lu Yu just needed the opportunity to take that step.

As long as he could leave the encirclement of a few people, he could immediately vanish from their field of vision.

Suddenly, Yang Jueshang's eyes widened. His puppet lost contact not long after entering the deep cave in the cold pool's center.

With a sullen face, he looked at Yinming Cold Pool and coldly asked, "What is going on?"

"Hmm?" Lu Yu shivered all over, quickly reacted, and asked nervously, "What's happening?"

He was just considering his escape when suddenly Yang Jueshang questioned him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught on.

"My puppet lost contact." Yang Jueshang squinted his eyes and said indifferently.

Lu Yu glanced nervously around, then said, "Normally, the bottom of the cold pool is filled with the power of the underworld. Anything from the Divine Martial Realm would be repelled upon entry. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost perception of my puppet."

"That's not right; your words contradict themselves." Yang Wu shouted, "You said earlier you were raising the puppets here. If you lost contact with them, you would have known before bringing us here, not showing such a surprised expression like just now."

Yang Wu declared confidently, "Ancestor, this guy surely covets this precious land. He wanted to raise the puppets here but accidentally lost them. He deliberately fooled us into coming here to trick us into helping him retrieve them."

Lu Yu looked at Yang Wu with utter speechlessness. He initially wanted to explain, but since Yang Wu had already imagined this scenario, Lu Yu had nothing left to say.

Yang Jueshang's face showed signs of anger, intending to kill Lu Yu to vent his rage. But as he looked at the dark cold pool, he suddenly said, "You go down and bring up the two puppets. Only then will I spare your life."

Lu Yu was secretly delighted, not expecting an opportunity to arise so quickly. However, he didn't show it on his face, displaying a hint of fear instead.

It wasn't obvious, but Lu Yu's occasional evasive glances made both Yang Wu and Yang Jueshang think he was afraid to enter Yinming Cold Pool, suspecting he wanted to trick them into retrieving his puppets.

"Go!" Yang Jueshang coldly urged.

Lu Yu dawdled as he walked into Yinming Cold Pool, constantly observing the surrounding people's positions, looking for a direction to break through the encirclement.

Suddenly, Yang Jueshang stopped Lu Yu and said, "Wait a minute, take off your Storage Ring first."

With those words, Lu Yu knew he couldn't hesitate any longer and took a step forward.

He disappeared instantly from the water's surface, appearing at the bottom of the cold pool. When the Earth Escape had upgraded to the unrivaled level previously, Lu Yu had already gauged the pool's depth, accurately stepping to the bottom in one stride.

As Lu Yu suddenly vanished from the water's surface, Yang Jueshang and Yang Wu were both stunned. Yang Jueshang was the first to react, quickly looking up at the sky and spreading his senses to locate Lu Yu's trace.

Boom~ A belated water column burst out from the surface. This column resulted from the pressure exerted by Lu Yu's rapid movement through the pool water.

Yang Jueshang didn't find Lu Yu's figure in the sky or on the ground. Hearing the sound of the water column's eruption, he looked toward the pool.

"He's below." Yang Jueshang realized.

With surging Spiritual Power circulating within him, a massive Spiritual Power beam shot into Yinming Cold Pool, as the pool's water filled with the underworld's chill and the Spiritual Power beam continually obliterated each other.

Finally, the pool's waters were entirely evaporated, revealing layers upon layers of corpses at the bottom, unimaginably thick.

Yang Jueshang extended his hand, grabbing numerous corpses from the bottom of Yinming Cold Pool across the space. A mound of corpses was lifted and tossed out of the pool by him, revealing the opening in the pool's center.

The opening at the pool's bottom was bottomless. Yang Jueshang could faintly sense the presence of his puppet's aura coming from the bottom, as if he could control his puppet again.
