The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 407 - 333 - You... Damn it!_1
"Most ancient creatures exist near Secret Realm Treasures. They seem to absorb the energy dissipating from these Treasures to strengthen themselves... When we harvested that golden vine earlier, we didn’t encounter any. We were just lucky...."
As Lan Chen saw the red giant bear emerge, his expression changed drastically.
He swiftly switched to combat mode, quickly assessing the strength of the giant bear before him, while speaking anxiously to Lu Yuan.
But before he could finish, a booming sound erupted as Lu Yuan charged forward.
A huge ball of energy began to form before Lan Chen’s chest.
Before he could launch his energy attack, he saw the figures of a man and a bear flash past each other not far away. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Flashes of what looked like platinum lightning sparked in the air.
By the time Lan Chen’s gaze found Lu Yuan again, Lu Yuan had already bypassed the giant bear. He was now beside the Snake-toothed Red Fruit, gently plucking the glowing red fruit.
Then, under Lan Chen’s shocked gaze, the more than six-meter-tall, crimson giant bear was silently and cleanly split in half. Its massive body toppled with a rumble, like two small mountains collapsing, and blood instantly soaked the ground.
"Ugh..."
The cascade of data in Lan Chen’s eyes stopped scrolling. The ball of energy brewing before his chest slowly dissipated.
He hadn’t even finished calculating the giant bear’s power level when the battle ended.
"Sigh..."
Lan Chen sighed faintly and went forward to clean up the battlefield.
He felt his anxiety had been for nothing, yet again.
The concentration of Evil God Factors per unit volume is higher than in that golden vine, but the total amount is much less...
As the blood sphere within him spun vivaciously, Lu Yuan assessed the Snake-toothed Red Fruit in his hand.
He didn’t immediately absorb its Evil God Factors. Instead, he first activated [Mysterious Perception] on the fruit.
Soon, vague, fragmented images flashed through his mind.
It’s like the golden vine. An ordinary plant absorbed the golden-red mist drifting down from the sky and slowly evolved into this...
Lu Yuan’s eyes gleamed as he pondered what that mysterious golden-red mist could be.
But he had too little information to piece anything together.
CRUNCH—
Lu Yuan casually tossed the Snake-toothed Red Fruit into his mouth.
The fruit’s small size was an advantage, allowing him to eat it in one bite. However, the taste was poor; it was like biting into a piece of raw iron, which slowly turned waxy as he chewed.
A large amount of Evil God Factor energy surged into his body, along with the Flesh and Blood Essence absorbed from the dead giant bear’s corpse.
The blood sphere inside Lu Yuan continued to grow larger....
THUMP!
Accompanied by a dull thrum only he could hear, Lu Yuan’s body trembled slightly. He then clearly felt the muscles all over his body swell a tiny bit.
[Strength: 29 (Break the Limit 1)]
Two Treasures have saved me four attribute points. I’m closer to achieving the second Break the Limit for all Basic Attributes...
Lu Yuan, feeling the surging power within his body, was in a good mood.
By this time, Lan Chen had finished dealing with the giant bear’s corpse. He walked over and looked Lu Yuan up and down with a curious gaze, seemingly wondering where Lu Yuan had stashed the golden vine from before and the Snake-toothed Red Fruit he had just acquired.
However, he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Lu Yuan, your rank on the Ash Board has entered the top three hundred..." Lan Chen said to Lu Yuan, looking at the ranking displayed on his chip.
His tone was filled with emotion.
Lu Yuan had only entered the Ash Mountain Secret Realm a short while ago, yet he had already surged into the top three hundred. Those with great strength really do climb quickly. However, as exploration deepens and the Secret Realm’s danger level reaches the limit of an individual’s capabilities, the rankings tend to stabilize. Unless one’s luck is exceptionally good, there won’t be a huge disparity with one’s actual combat power level. Lan Chen was now very curious about one thing—what rank could Lu Yuan ultimately achieve? As expected of Lord Tong’s disciple. He’s only just officially joined Yellow Bear and is already making a name for himself... Is this what they call a genius? People truly are incomparable...
Lan Chen sighed lightly in his heart.
After completely absorbing the Snake-toothed Red Fruit, Lu Yuan wasted no time and immediately began searching for the next concentration of Evil God Factors.
Suddenly, a COO-COO sound, like a bird’s call, reached his ears...
BOOM!
Dirt exploded from under Lu Yuan’s feet. Great clouds of white vapor erupted from every pore on his body, and like an agile Swimming Dragon, he shot into the sky.
"[Three Flowers]!"
HUM—
The Flower of Flesh, the Flower of Qi, and the Flower of God!
The Three Flowers bloomed in unison.
The white vapor enveloping him grew denser, and his speed instantly increased severalfold.
Were it not for the piercing sounds of him breaking the sound barrier, Lu Yuan—his figure blurring like light or mist as he moved through the forest—would have seemed like an ethereal, uncatchable immortal from the mortal realm!
However....
Even an immortal from the mortal realm has things they cannot do.
No matter how hard his light-and-mist-like form tried, it could not catch that flickering, flame-like speck of orange-red.
Lu Yuan burst with power multiple times, increasing his speed, yet he still couldn’t touch the bird’s shadow, which remained just out of reach.
Finally... he chose to give up.
WHOOSH—
Lu Yuan landed. The white vapor around him dispersed like clouds, the Three Flowers faded, and he stood calmly on a protruding, oddly shaped rock.
He looked up. His gaze followed to a branch of an ancient tree tens of meters away, where a Hoopoe, its head adorned with a magnificent crest, was leisurely preening its feathers.
From time to time, it would glance down at him.
