I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 336 - 255: Delivering a Victory Speech
"Die! Just die!"
The five Jin brothers on the Sky Fortress, the two Guo brothers on the ground, along with other distant spectators, were even more excited than if they were on the battlefield themselves.
The war between the two colossal beings exceeded their imagination.
Painted Skin was smashed more than a hundred times and it still wasn’t dead?!
This truly was a non-human resilience, reaching the realm of myth.
And that tree also possessed terrifying regeneration abilities; its bark had been completely stripped off in a ring, yet it tirelessly continued attacking Painted Skin.
Every tremor of the earth resonated with their heartbeats.
Gradually, gradually...
Painted Skin’s counterattack vanished!
The Life Tree continued to smash wildly, its pounding noise like thunder from the Heaven Palace.
"Someone actually managed to kill this monster..." Guo Family’s eldest, stroking his beard, sat down heavily on a rock.
Having witnessed this battle, he felt... his life was worth it!
His earlier martial arts journey seemed like nonsense.
Former pride, past glories, the nightly hardships, all were blown away like dust in the wind.
His heart couldn’t help but feel a bit sorrowful.
Jin Dongliang murmured, "Mr. Cat, are you all from that... Sky City? Is everyone there so strong?"
"How could that be, this is the strongest of them."
"Oh, there’s also an Opium poppy tree, it’s not weak either."
Hearing this was the strongest, everyone felt slightly better.
"What, thinking of joining us?" Old Cat said somewhat proudly, "It’s not impossible, but you’d have to start as ordinary folks."
"We are an authentic technological civilization, we don’t do any class privileges."
"Even though you might be stronger, without any skills, you can’t be considered talent."
If it had been any other time, they would have been furious already. What did he mean by "just like that"?
But at this moment, everyone swallowed their saliva and hastily nodded.
...
Blood!
Bright red blood spilled across the land!
Now, the Life Tree was stained with blood, its countless charred vines like twisted and winding blood vessels, giving it a brutal and demonic appearance.
Lu Yuan had completely gone berserk. He seemed indefatigable and impervious to pain, like a lifting machine operating at full power.
He did not know how many times he had smashed Painted Skin.
Nor did he know how much life energy he had absorbed.
The internal organs of Painted Skin were like torn cotton, scattered everywhere.
Only when the opponent was reduced to a mere intact fur, becoming light as a feather, did Lu Yuan slowly emerge from this extremely berserk state.
Far from feeling tired, he felt an inexplicable joy and bewilderment.
Had he won?
Was this victory?
At that moment, Lu Yuan’s soul subtly began to change; a darkness spread from the position of his chest.

The innate capability of the Life Tree was about to assimilate his soul, turning him into the former brutal "Devil"!
"Mr. Lu... Don’t kill it, the power of ’Spirit Word’!" Miss Conch knew his situation was dire and hurriedly spoke, "Don’t fall asleep, let me seal its soul."
A chill swept over him, and Lu Yuan shuddered back to his senses, "Right… Miss Conch, quickly… seal the ’Spirit Word’, I nearly killed it."
He closely observed the blue skin; the flesh inside had been completely drained by him!
However, the ability of anomalies couldn’t actually be taken; they weren’t like normal sentient beings.
And without any sealing materials at hand, Miss Conch had no choice but to give up her own Soul Gem, stuffing the extremely weakened rules of Painted Skin into it, and finally using Sealing Resin to completely seal it.
Two souls, squeezed together in one Tree of Life.
"You… why have you become so small?!" Lu Yuan was greatly startled; compared to his soul, Miss Conch was like a little child, her radiance far dimmer than before.
"What do you think…" Miss Conch was exasperated, you could suddenly explode with such high combat power, killing Painted Skin alive, but you drained me, didn’t you?
She smiled gracefully: "Ah~ now I’m just an ordinary person, please Mr. Lu, keep your promise."
Lu Yuan was very skeptical, then thought for a moment, you just used "Sealing", and now you’re still using "telepathy", what ordinary person is this?
"How much has your Divine Attribute dropped?"
"It hasn’t dropped much, but I need to recover for a very, very long time..."
Finding Lu Yuan unresponsive, she felt somewhat despondent.
The overdraft of Soul Power was harder to recover than Life Force.
Bone and muscle injuries heal in a hundred days; a master might recover in ten days.
But an overdraft of Soul Power might take ten thousand days, even a hundred thousand days to heal, her soul became much smaller than Lu Yuan’s.
Of course, what really upset her was that "Mind Control" was still there.
A girl’s thoughts are always hard to guess—she wasn’t drained of essence but somehow, she was still a bit displeased.
Lu Yuan was actually shocked by the might of the 34 Points of God, that after such a battle, her essence wasn’t even hurt!
"So, you’re like a rechargeable battery, as soon as you recover, you can unleash a terrifying fighting ability for me?"
"You’re really too much, Mr. Lu, at a time like this, you don’t comfort me but instead bully me..."
"Cough cough..."
Lu Yuan had said it offhandedly. If Conch Girl continued to overdraw her powers in this way, she wouldn’t be able to grow.
But indeed, it was an exceptionally powerful trump card he held, which had even helped him kill a demon outright!
No wonder the nourishing adult ginseng that the Undying Giant Turtle had always longed for and tried to eat as soon as it betrayed.
"I’ll make it up to you, okay? Actually, I don’t really have anything good on hand, so let’s just say you’ve ’controlled’ me..."
"You can now order me to do anything."
"Pfft... I’d better think carefully about how I’ll tease you in the future!" Miss Conch obviously cheered up.
"Command received."
After cheering up the somewhat dazed Conch Girl, Lu Yuan resumed control of the Tree of Life and surveyed the battle scene.
Only then did he notice the terrifying destructive power between the two behemoths, which had almost leveled the nearby hillside.
And the ground bore a massive crater.
Blood spread in a radial pattern, staining the whole crater red.
The wildly expanding Tree of Life was actually bloated with many branches twisted and wildly grown.
Some parts weren’t firm, as if burrowed by insects, appearing somewhat loose.
"This is a total mess."
"This monster should be dead, right?" Lu Yuan stood in front of that greenish skin, picked it up, and examined it carefully.
Inside, not a trace of flesh remained, all drained clean by the Tree of Life.
"Devil·Painted Skin, a leather imbued with mysterious extraordinary power."
"Ability 1: Transformation, this leather can be styled at will after wearing, significantly enhancing your charm."
"Ability 2: Wearing this leather will greatly increase your spirit resistance and also provide you with massive physical resistance."
"Ability 3: Soul Nourishment, wearing this creature’s leather over time can somewhat enhance your soul strength and the upper limit of your Divine Attribute, and greatly boost your recovery speed."
"Ability 4: Immortal, its extraordinary properties are extremely stable, and it virtually doesn’t age."
"Note: Craftsman in this world might be rare, capable of perfectly using this luxurious leather. It hails from a fearsome anomaly that, in the distant past, slaughtered several civilizations."
"Strong warrior of the Ninth Epoch, Lu Yuan, has vanquished this ancient anomaly left behind. This is an undying monument."
"Note: If crafted by an inexperienced craftsman, it’s better left unworked and used directly. A poor craftsman would only reduce its quality. (Immortal Level·Natural Wonder)"
Lu Yuan was deeply shaken by this piece of leather, his body trembling.
"Immortal Level," these three words alone speak volumes about its quality!
Immortal Level!
It was known that above "Immortal Level" there’s only the ultimate "Mythical Level."
All four abilities are very useful, with "Soul Nourishment" being the most potent by far, able to increase the upper limits of Divine Attributes and boost soul recovery power!
While touching this piece of leather, a profound sensation arose within him.
The extraordinary power within the leather resonated wonderfully with him, as if this thing was alive, a part of his own skin.
"Transform!"
With a thought, the leather automatically healed, those numerous grotesque mouths disappearing.
The color also changed from green to ordinary white, resembling goat skin, growing out fine fur.
"Transform!"
The leather transformed again, now a tiger skin, dappled and majestic.
"So, the Painted Skin originally had the ability to transform... but it didn’t use it during the battle..."
"It seems it can change about 2-3 times a day."
The surface area was also quite considerable, Lu Yuan estimated about 80 square meters, enough to make several sets of clothes, pants, and even shoes.
"Let’s make a set for Conch Girl first; she needs soul recovery ability right now..."
"Sigh, she’s in such a state, I really should treat her better."
Thinking this, Lu Yuan began to feel a headache, wondering how they would coexist now that the glass ceiling had been shattered. Could it be amnesia, or should he increase the level of teasing?
What kind of clothes does she like?
Lu Yuan, forever single since birth, now had a sweet and cute girl close to him. It was impossible not to be moved—as he once wished to the heavens for a "love-brained wife."
Conch Girl really did fit the bill. Explore new worlds at novelbuddy
But he also knew deeply that he shouldn’t ruin someone else’s future.
Everyone is an independent entity, and controlling one’s own destiny is the only future to trust.
Therefore, in Lu Yuan’s mind, the future outweighed everything...
The girl may be whimsical, but he can’t be a scoundrel!
