I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 337 - 256 Milestone Achieved!

A silent gorge, the mountain breeze blew, splattering blood everywhere.

The blood-stained tree stood on the ground, its vines curling up the strange leather, making it appear even more demonic.

In the eyes of many onlookers, this tree, which had sucked dry the flesh of the Painted Skin, even emitted a brutal and violent scent.

Fear struck everyone simultaneously, causing them to step back several paces.

Only Old Cat squinted his eyes, hiding behind a large rock, staring at him, "Hey, comrade! Did you win? Why have you stopped fighting?"

Lu Yuan looked at the spectators and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion. Do you think I’m a perpetual motion machine?

But he had to stand firm because he wasn’t fighting alone anymore; a little rabbit-like soul was clinging to him.

"Conch must be more tired than I am; she is peacefully sleeping..."

The thought of their relationship completely elevating filled Lu Yuan with indescribable joy and happiness.

Due to the limitations of the "Mind Control" ability, he had to hold back for now, at most only having a spiritual romance, but it didn’t matter. He could wait patiently like a plant enthusiast.

This battle was so worth it!!

Not only were there rich spoils of war, but he also gained many hidden benefits—safety, public sentiment, talent, wealth, and... a girl.

Thinking of the pleasant aspect, the tree couldn’t help but rustle loudly, its vines waving around.

The crowd was frightened and stepped back again, exchanging glances.

"Mr. Cat, Commander Lu, do they not recognize us anymore? Should we run?"

"Run for what? Did you see that ’V’ gesture? That’s a victory speech!" Old Cat was speechless.

...

Under the massive impact of happiness, Lu Yuan was still lost in wild thoughts: "Wait, does Old Cat also need this immortal-level leather?"

"This is an immortal-level extraordinary item... Perhaps it could let him experience the feeling of being alive?"

Lu Yuan was quite generous with his comrades. Old Cat was so small; it didn’t need much leather. If it could give him a sense of touch, it would be quite worth it.

He even considered the matter of having children in the future!

"One jacket, one pair of trousers, plus a pair of shoes, might use about five square meters of leather."

"That calculation means only 16 sets of gear can be made... at most only 16 children... Beyond that, there wouldn’t be enough inheritance to go around!"

Lu Yuan shuddered abruptly, feeling as though he had plunged into the depths of a demonic barrier.

Of course, this matter couldn’t be rushed; his current skills would be wasting the immortal-level leather by directly sewing it!

...

...

Just then, another piece of good news appeared right on time!

"Boom!"

A massive dark cloud formed in the sky, bringing a thunderstorm.

As the rain washed away, the blood slowly seeped into the soil—a few years later, this land might be covered with mutated plants.

Seeing the dark clouds, Lu Yuan immediately realized what was happening and joy curled his lips.

The milestone of killing a Demon had arrived!

Lightning mingled with thunder, as bolts of lightning descended from the sky!

The fragments of rock ahead were split apart.

That profound voice arose by his side.

"Congratulations to your civilization for achieving the Unique Milestone, Ninth Epoch·Monster Slayer."

"Achievement conditions: Among all civilizations, the first to hunt the anomaly ’Demon’."

"To battle those brutal beings, we created many things…"

"We also destroyed many things…"

"Demons, among natural disasters, are the easiest to confront and also the easiest to exploit..."

"Now, we... leave this hope to you..."

"Do not let those beings discover you..."

This evaluation sounded mysteriously nonsensical but made Lu Yuan fall into deep thought.

"Those brutal beings, does it mean ’Ghosts’? Only ’Ghosts’ are invincible..."

"For a civilization like the Great Lai Empire, to even seal a ’Ghost’... does that mean there are enemies stronger than ’Ghosts’?"

"Congratulations to your civilization for receiving the Unique Milestone Reward: Ability ’Steel’."

"Your civilization has received the Unique Milestone Points Reward: 5000 points. (This function has not yet been activated)"

A mysterious white light suddenly appeared around Lu Yuan.

’Divine Skill’ would automatically select the matching subject, and although there were other humans besides Lu Yuan in the human civilization at that moment, it had chosen the most suitable match.

This beam of white light was different from the past ones.

It was like a tiny glass marble, wrapping a glow inside it akin to a firefly’s.

Lu Yuan picked up the glass marble and examined it for a while.

"Ability: Steel, the ability to harden oneself..."

A series of question marks popped up in Lu Yuan’s mind. Is this it?

Harden oneself?

Is this also considered a Milestone Reward?

A few seconds later, his Pioneer’s Eye slowly displayed the next line.

"Ability: Steel, the ability to harden oneself and make you immune to other extraordinary abilities. At least 18 God points are needed to have a chance of fusing this ability."

Lu Yuan was stunned. What... what is this?!

Isn’t this outright invincibility?

But no, for the possessors of the ’Steel’ ability, they could only be killed by physical means like melee combat or explosions; spiritual attacks, soul attacks, curses, and the like had basically no effect.

Immediately after, a vague intention transmitted from the glass marble.

It was as if an ancient voice echoed in his ears.

"Do not use this ability lightly... nor learn it easily..."

"Unless you can overcome ’Ghost’ level anomalies... you do not qualify to use it."

"Having conquered the ’Demon’, your civilization should have learned some things..."

"If you cannot handle it, leave it to the next generation."

A few doubts began to arise in Lu Yuan’s mind.

"’Steel’ must be some kind of decomposition of the strongest ability ’Powerful Wind’, yet it is terrifying to this extent. What level is the true strongest ability ’Powerful Wind’?"

He fantasized for a while, yet he did not dare to directly fuse it into his soul.

He did qualify with 18 God points, but he was not very eager to confront ’Ghost’.

"Alas, a pity it cannot be used for now."

However, today’s harvest was indeed tremendous!

Just the spoils of war included a Legendary ’Nine-Eyed Bead Necklace’!

An Immortal Level, painted skin leather!

The soul of the painted skin, containing the rules of ’Spirit Word’, and the ’Steel’ ability within the glass marble... such a huge gain in just a few hours, it’s unimaginable!

The most key aspect was, safety!

They had achieved safety!!

They had gained a huge amount of time for development!

The tense nerves slowly relaxed, and suddenly, a sense of happiness welled up again in Lu Yuan’s heart.

No longer dawdling, he looked at the ’Sky Fortress’ and issued a command for it to hurry back to Sky City and to stop spectating here.

"Uncle!" The ’Sky Fortress’ seemed very happy, continuously howling joyously as it leisurely flew away.

He then noticed the surrounding onlookers, sneaky, each one looking at him warily.

Okay, so the ’Painted skin’ is dead, those who could stand here must all be... survivors from the Mandala Empire?

"Splash," he wanted to make a sound to offer them amnesty.

But these guys, their faces changed dramatically, their bodies simultaneously trembled.

As if they had seen some terrifying superior creature, with a ’swoosh’, they actually ran away in all directions!
