Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 473 - 282: The Destroyer
A radiant pillar of light piercing through the heavens penetrated the black mist, fracturing large branches several meters in diameter and causing massive demonic tissue to fall away.
The immense commotion drew the attention of numerous demons, countless of which crawled out from the magic cave, lunging towards the group.
A plethora of demons leapt down from above, appearing like a shower of black rain, as everyone surged towards the sky amidst the torrential "downpour."
The twelve forming the Moonfall Divine Array held the vanguard, dissipating all attacks into nothingness. The moment demons touched the Moonfall Divine Array, they were purified by the holy power within it, turning into a sky full of moonlight.
The team ascended to about a hundred meters high, entering the first layer of dense "canopy," where one squad voluntarily left the formation, diving into the throng of demons.
Their mission was not only to draw the demons' attention but also to destroy the magic cave.
The magic cave possessed self-defense capabilities; even Ling Jingtian's strongest attacks with the Moonfall Divine Array couldn't directly destroy it.
Only by relying on dispersed Martial Cultivators, infiltrating the inner parts of the magic cave, destroying its regional core from the inside, could they accumulate efforts to gradually obliterate the massive magic cave.
Lu Yu did not move. The first group of Martial Cultivators to leave the formation were all at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, along with one Core Formation Realm cultivator leading them.
The pressure they faced was the greatest, with the later divided teams bearing slightly less pressure.
His cultivation was not weak, so he was assigned to the third wave, following the Divine Weapon Pavilion's squad to charge into the magic cave, attracting the demons' attention and completing the cave's destruction task.
It soon reached the time for Lu Yu's squad to strike; by then, they were already near the middle of the magic cave, approximately four hundred meters off the ground.
"Stay together, don't spread out!" Shouted the strongest member of the team.
When alone, even a peak Qi Sea Realm Martial Cultivator would not dare guarantee survival amidst the demon tide.
Human strength has limits, but the demons' numbers are endless; at least within the magic cave, their numbers are inexhaustible.
Boom! Ling Jingtian launched an attack, opening a path for the group, who rushed towards the direction with the fewest demons.
The person at the front, seeing themselves leading, quickly slowed down, not daring to distance too far from the group, while those at the back feared falling too far behind lest support would be delayed.
Lu Yu easily followed within the group, entering a net-like branch area with a large hole blasted in it. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The branches were composed of a mixture of black-red flesh and soil, rhythmically breathing, glowing red with each breath.
The branches were covered with black, scarred tumors, looking eerie, and between them lay vast networks of black, floccose material, severely impeding movement within the magic cave.
Lu Yu waved his hand, and a line of golden fire shot out, cutting through the black floccose network ahead. The fire line and network struggled for nearly half a second before cutting through.
Gazing at the scorched, lingering network ahead, Lu Yu sensed that this thing would pose a major problem.
Just clearing the black floccose networks drained a significant amount of the group's mental energy. Lu Yu's attacks took half a second to sever them, making it strenuous for others to tear through.
"Why haven't we seen any demons?" someone questioned.
Before they charged in, demons were everywhere. After entering, however, not seeing any demons was incredibly strange.
"Be careful, don't get complacent."
Someone warily scanned the surroundings, alert for demon ambushes, reminding the person who had just questioned.
"Where have all the demons gone?"
Just as those words were spoken, everyone felt a strong suction from under their feet, forcefully pulling them into a void.
Everyone struggled frantically, resisting the suction, trying to escape the area, but more and more realized they could not break free from the pull and eventually ceased struggling, falling towards the void.
Rather than exhausting themselves in futile attempts to escape the suction, it was better to conserve strength and descend to explore what was happening.
Lu Yu perceived the intense suction below; though it was strong, his spiritual power was sufficient to counter it, with a chance to escape its range.
He noticed someone nearby willingly abandoning resistance, falling downward.
His mind resolved, he relinquished resistance, controlling his falling speed to stay within the group's middle.
The person he had observed earlier did indeed possess the power to escape the suction zone; the best proof being his calm and unperturbed demeanor while others suddenly succumbed to the pull.
Watching the others around him fall, Lu Yu understood that person's mindset: better to be amidst the majority unable to escape than face unknown dangers alone.
Even if danger arose, there'd be others to bear it first; ultimately, it wouldn't reach him.
Cruel, but realistic.
When encountering a tiger, you don't need to outrun it, just your companions.
Lu Yu fell into the void, his sight plunged into darkness, then light arose, turning the world dark red. The glow within the fleshy walls surrounding him was the only light source here.
"Where is this place?" someone asked, their tone slightly tinged with panic.
