I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 333 - 253 【Devil·Painted Skin】!!

The tomb emitted a terrifying aura, ceaselessly leaking out as the monster grew larger and larger!

The "Devil·Painted Skin" from the Ancient Era had fully resurrected!

It hid within the tomb, constantly healing its wounds.

Meanwhile, it watched the outside world with predatory vigilance.

After being targeted by the Great Demon, a cold chill surged from the heart, spreading throughout the body along the spine, and in that moment, Lu Yuan discovered that fear, long forgotten, had returned.

Yes, he had not truly felt fear for a very long time.

In that instant, Lu Yuan’s scalp tingled as he faced a natural enemy of humanity.

"Damn it, if it fully recovers, the entire Sky City will fall."

He squinted his eyes, like a wild beast let out of its cage, displaying a fierce expression.

"This thing has just escaped its sealing, how strong can it be?"

"If we don’t act now, we’ll suffer later."

Lu Yuan summoned the massive Tree of Life from his mind.

The Soul Gem of the Conch was within the Tree of Life.

"I might just die again."

"I must stop it…"

Lu Yuan, dragging his battered body and clutching a depleted uranium bomb, hobbled into the tomb.

[Be careful…] The Conch, never having experienced such pressure before, spoke with a trembling voice, feeling fear.

"He’s already a dead man," Old Cat said softly.

Darkness enveloped the tomb, and the field began to surge outward, swallowing Lu Yuan in the blink of an eye, not even a trace of sound escaping.

But the black mist continued to spread, not pausing for even a moment due to Lu Yuan’s entrance.

…

…

"Big brother, what… what is this?!"

At this moment, the five survivors sitting atop the Sky Fortress sensed an ocean-like immense aura.

The Field, in the Mandala Empire, a legendary level ability.

More terrifying was that this was no ordinary Field, but a qualitatively different kind of energy.

Merely sitting twenty thousand meters up in the air, these Innate Grandmasters couldn’t help trembling uncontrollably, thoughts of fleeing emerging—they instinctively understood this was not something humans could withstand!

"Big brother, he… he went in!"

Everyone swallowed hard, watching with wide eyes as Lu Yuan was devoured by darkness, a sense of awe rising in their hearts.

This level of monster, they lacked even the courage to resist…

Sending any number of people would be like sending lambs to the slaughter!

…

The total number of survivors left in the city was just one or two hundred, each being either highly skilled or possessing top-notch life-preserving abilities.

Every one of them sensed that tremendous, "enemy of humanity-like" force, their faces becoming pale.

"Damn you, heavens!" someone cried out to the sky.

"Are you really trying to exterminate us all?"

"Let’s go, we fight a life-and-death battle!" some mustered the courage and headed toward the direction of the Royal Tomb.

"They… should run!"

Some chose to flee, a common human reaction.

…

In Sky City, all the human skin monsters froze!

These horrific creatures, like vegetative beings, were at the mercy of the Insect Soldiers.

In fact, the moment the Emperor’s head was severed by Lu Yuan, the war had already ended, and these human skin creatures collapsed on the ground, as if their brains had been removed.

But before people could rejoice, they felt a cold "qi."

It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on their chests.

Sha Kan’er and three Worm Kings were organizing medical teams to treat the wounded, finishing off the human skin monsters with an extra slice.

The Insect Soldiers were feasting away, devouring the elite of an empire.

The energy contained within was not something ordinary food could compare to.

But at this moment, no one blamed them, after all, these were monsters, not humans.

What’s more, dealing with over a hundred thousand corpses was troublesome enough, it was better to let the insects feed.

"Did you feel it? It feels like… a disaster is about to strike." Xu Pengfei, who had just sworn loyalty the day before, looked towards the distant direction. "I feel like my heart is about to leap out! What is this power?"

"Felt it… it’s affecting us even eighty kilometers away…" Sha Kan pulled at his hair, feeling almost crazed.

He confidently said, "The Great Commander must have succeeded! Didn’t you notice that all these human skin creatures have stopped moving?"

"Your Great Commander, can he defeat this kind of monster?" Xu Peng gaped, "Your Great Commander is also a monster, right?" Read the latest on novelbuddy

"No, we are a civilization of science, we will definitely win!"

The next second!

The earth seemed to shake, and that continuously rising momentum was halted!

…

…

A small mushroom cloud erupted from the tomb, bursting into the sky!

In the confined space, the explosive force of the bomb was amplified, blowing all flesh and blood outward.

The five Jin brothers on the Sky Fortress also had their hair standing on end; they didn’t quite understand the principles behind the depleted uranium bomb, but the blast was terrifying, and it forcibly halted that ferocious rising momentum.

"Is it… dead?"

"No, it’s just wounded!" Jin Zhuliang clenched his fists, filled with great resentment. The chief culprit who had destroyed the empire was just below, still gravely injured by the warriors of Sky City, but even so, he still had no courage to fight.

Innate Grandmasters, in this level of combat, were really just delivering themselves as food.

"Where is that warrior?"

"He must be... he must be dead..." Jin Zhuliang said, overwhelmed by sadness. If such a strong warrior had died, who could possibly stand in their way now?

...

The mushroom cloud slowly unfolded in all directions, revealing the horrendous anomaly within the tomb.

Devil·Painted Skin!

In just over a dozen seconds, it inflated crazily from its original human size to a volume of several meters; its appearance was like that of a four-legged beast, only extremely ferocious looking. Its green body sprouted one bloody maw after another, resembling the fierce faces of malevolent ghosts.

Its belly had a big hole, clearly caused by the recent explosion of the depleted uranium bomb.

But the Devil wouldn’t die so easily, being of the Four Great Calamities level after all.

Painted Skin, with its fierce eyes, saw the Sky Fortress, which housed tens of thousands of infants’ souls.

Even with an altitude of twenty thousand meters, it was still within its range of attack.

There, lay delicious food.

It began to gather its strength, preparing to strike.

Those massive maws aimed at the Sky Fortress.

...

Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu!

You just died! Wake up!!!

Lu Yuan was awakened in his confusion.

His Life Fruit had all transformed into the energy for "Control," and now he could only be resurrected as the Tree of Life.

It’s going to eat the children!!

Hearing the conch calling him, Lu Yuan jolted awake from his confusion.

"Completely outmatched."

In just three seconds, the ability of "Spirit Language" had driven him into mental disarray.

Painted Skin swallowed him whole and alive; fortunately... by clinging to his final belief, Lu Yuan detonated the depleted uranium bomb.

"It has no intelligence."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan realized this fact.

Indeed, the real Painted Skin actually possessed no intelligence, merely a ferocious monster.

...

Painted Skin crawled out from the tomb and launched an attack at the Sky Fortress.

"Ah!!!"

In an instant, the Jin family’s five brothers were swept away by some savage force, bleeding from their faces.

And the "Sky Fortress," in its effort to protect the sleeping children, struggled violently, howling from its mouth.

Fortunately, the Sky Fortress’s flight mode utilized the buoyancy of hydrogen, preventing it from falling freely for the moment.

"Are we going to die?" Jin Dongliang thought sadly.

"This is such a pitiful way to die."

...

The next second, the sixty-meter-tall Tree of Life suddenly teleported into the deep pit of the tomb!

All two thousand five hundred tons of its mass suddenly pressing down.

The great tree shook violently.

"Pfft!" The Cannibal Flower spit out a mouthful of poisonous acid.

Don’t think I’m dead yet!

Painted Skin, struck by the sudden attack, glared with eyes flashing red.

It struggled fiercely, activating the ability of "Spirit Language," its hundreds of mouths uttering a single syllable simultaneously.

"Dzip!"

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

The next moment, a powerful spirit storm assaulted Lu Yuan’s soul!

Even though he was now in the shape of a great tree, with spiritual resistance far higher than that of a human body, he still felt dizzy and nauseous, as if an invisible hand was gripping his soul, trying to drag him into hell.

Just then, the conch also mimicked a single syllable—"Spirit!"

The "Mind Control" imitation of Spirit Language, compared to the real version, was like a glow under the bright moon, but the girl’s singing voice still managed to bring Lu Yuan’s spirit back forcefully.

"Ah!!" Lu Yuan roared.

The tree covered the sky, and the Cannibal Flower, with the terrifying strength represented by its 67 Shape Attribute, fiercely bit off a chunk of Painted Skin’s flesh along the wound caused by the depleted uranium bomb.

In pain, the blue monster, pinned beneath the massive weight, struggled ferociously.

Discovering that spiritual attacks were ineffective, it resorted to another tactic.

"Lsee!"

The ability of "Spirit Language" activated once again.

A sweltering heat in the tens of thousands erupted on the battlefield, forming a fierce fireball.

The intense heat twisted the air like a nuclear explosion!

Even though Lu Yuan activated Different Space at the crucial moment, he was still affected by the explosion, and many leaves caught fire.

The power of the Eternal Spark stopped the spread of the flames.

Boom!

The fireball exploded, and instead of hitting Lu Yuan, it blew Painted Skin away; the hundreds of tons of massive creature fell heavily to the ground.

"Painted Skin appears to have no intelligence; it even blew itself up."

"It’s no longer using spiritual attacks, which is good news."

Even with the conch’s protection, spiritual attacks were still troublesome.

Now that the opponent had misjudged the situation, believing spiritual attacks to be ineffective, was indeed very favourable news.

"I must decide the battle quickly and kill it as swiftly as possible."

"Otherwise, even the Tree of Life might not withstand it for much longer."
