Powerful Luo Yu Beast

Beside Gu Ding's feet, on an inconspicuous blue stone tablet, the rules of this area were clearly engraved.

[From the entrance to the Sun Giant Tree, there are a total of 108 steps. Upon stepping onto the first step, a Luo Yu Beast with the Combat Strength of a five-star Peak-rank God will attack. Upon stepping onto the second step, two will appear, three on the third, and so on, until the ninth step, where nine Feathered Luo Yu Beast with the Combat Strength of Peak-rank God gods will participate in the battle.]

Starting from the tenth step, the number of Luo Yu Beast returns to one, but their Combat Strength increases to a six-star Peak-rank God. Similar to the first nine steps, from the tenth to the eighteenth step, the number of Luo Yu Beast increases by one for each step. At the nineteenth step, the number of Luo Yu Beast returns to one again, and their Combat Strength increases to a seven-star Peak-rank God. From the nineteenth to the twenty-seventh step, the number of Luo Yu Beast also increases by one for each step.

In short, the number of Luo Yu Beast increases with each step, Luo Yu Beast strength increases by one level every nine steps, and so on. By levels 100 to 108, each Luo Yu Beast's Combat Strength is comparable to Nine-and-a-Half Star Half-Step True God realm expert who has broken through nine divine barriers.

Each step can be challenged an unlimited number of times. Each attack is limited to one minute; to challenge, simply stand on that step for one minute, and the Luo Yu Beast will automatically appear. Once summoned, the Luo Yu Beast only disappear when it is killed or successfully kills the challenger. Otherwise, it will relentlessly pursue the challenger, even if they escape back to the Low-rank God region.

[For each Five-Star Feathered Luo Yu Beast killed, you gain 5000 points. Six-Star grants 6000 points. Seven-Star grants 7000 points. One-Star Half-Step True God) grants 10,000 points, two-Star grants 20,000 points, three-Star grants 30,000 points, and so on, up to Nine-and-a-Half Star Half-Step True God) grants 90,000 points.]

At the end of the 108th floor, there is a True God-level defensive barrier. Under normal circumstances, only a True God-level expert can forcibly break through it. Inside the barrier lies a True God-level inheritance, which any player can attempt to obtain in any way, without any restrictions!

After reading the rules, Gu Ding smiled wryly. "With my current strength, even if I can use my domain, I can probably only climb to the Eighteenth Level at most. If I can't use my domain, I'll be lucky to climb to the fourth floor, and I might not even be able to pass the fourth floor."

"As far as I know, most divine beasts don't have domains during their infancy. Domains only appear during their growth period. Furthermore, the grade of a divine beast's domain during its growth period is related to its cultivation time; only upon reaching maturity will their domains truly unleash their power. Therefore, your domain is definitely usable here, as long as you're careful not to let these Luo Yu Beast tear it apart and escape. After all, your domain is only at the three-star level; even a slightly stronger High-rank God can tear it apart, let alone Luo Yu Beast comparable to a five-star Peak-rank God." The Sea Emperor's explanation gave Gu Ding a little more confidence, because even if his domain was only effective for a moment, it could weaken his opponent by thirty times. If he could control that moment perfectly, he could annihilate his opponent.

"But a true god-level inheritance is truly enviable." Gu Ding originally thought it didn't matter which level he reached, but that inheritance made him care. After all, obtaining a true god's inheritance was even more enviable than becoming a true god's personal disciple. It contained the true god's memories. Not to mention the value of the true god's inherited techniques and cultivation experience, just the memory of surviving the True God Tribulation alone was enough to drive countless Half-Step True God crazy.

"True god-level inheritances aren't so easily accepted," the Sea Emperor interjected. "Every true god-level inheritance contains the consciousness of a true god. Without gaining the approval of that consciousness, the inheritance cannot be accepted. Generally speaking, an inheritance is like a lifetime's legacy being entrusted to someone, so one must be extremely cautious."...

"You mean, one must gain the approval of that true god to receive his inheritance?" Gu Ding was somewhat surprised. He had indeed gained Helen's approval when he obtained the Demon Suppression Hall's inheritance at the Helen Ruins, but he hadn't paid attention to it; at the time, Helen's approval came naturally. He had obtained all of Helen's Inheritance Memory, but the physical enhancement technique hadn't reached the true god level, being slightly inferior to the Myriad Manifestations Emperor Body. Gu Ding had taught it to Liliath and the others so they could refer to it when enhancing their physical bodies.

"Of course! Everyone will examine their successor. Generally speaking, cultivation talent and combat talent are the two main aspects to consider, because everyone hopes that their successor will be a descendant with outstanding talent. Of course, in addition to talent, many people will also consider other aspects, such as temperament, willpower, comprehension, and so on." The Sea Emperor felt that these things were a matter of course, but there was one thing he held back from saying: if he were to choose a successor, he would definitely choose someone like Miko, not someone like Gu Ding.

Gu Ding, of course, was unaware that the Sea Emperor was secretly criticizing him. He casually asked, "Sea Emperor, do you have any way to break that restriction? Let's get our hands on the item first. Even if I can't accept the inheritance, we still have Lily and the others. We can try them one by one. If none of them work, Auction House. A True God-level inheritance should fetch a lot of money!"

If the Sea Emperor had eyes, he would definitely roll his eyes at Gu Ding right now. Gu Ding's words sounded extremely relaxed, as if the things in the forbidden area were already his for the taking. But he was already used to Gu Ding's temperament, and immediately replied, "I'm not too confident about a True God-level restriction. After all, my current authority doesn't allow me to access True God-level information. I can only try my best."

"Alright then, give it a try. Don't force yourself if you really can't get it. Getting something like this is a pleasant surprise, but not getting it isn't a big loss, since it originally belonged to the Federal Government. I'm going to challenge the Luo Yu Beast. Let me know if you get any news." After saying that, Gu Ding leaped to the front of the first step and stepped onto it.

Sea Emperor focused his attention on the restriction. In the real world, such a powerful restriction would be impossible for him to break in his current state. However, this was merely a virtual world created by the SkyNet, and the so-called True God-level restriction was also part of this virtual world. With Sea Emperor's understanding of virtual worlds, he believed that breaking the restriction was not impossible if he could analyze the virtual lines that the SkyNet used to construct this world.

While the Sea Emperor was busy, Gu Ding's standing time on the steps also quickly reached one minute.

A scorching aura spread out in the void in front of Gu Ding, and then a ball of golden flame appeared out of thin air, quickly extending and transforming into a giant golden bird.

That giant golden bird was a juvenile Luo Yu Beast, its entire body composed of golden flames, and its eyes like two enormous black gems. Even as a juvenile, this Luo Yu Beast had a wingspan of over 150 meters. Before it even launched an attack, the mere flapping of its wings made Gu Ding feel scorching winds pressing down on him, giving him a vague sense of suffocation.

"It's so big! When I saw it standing on that tree before, I thought it was only the size of a palm." Gu Ding was speechless. "Sea Emperor, are you sure that such a big creature is only in its juvenile stage? I always felt that only creatures like Blue's size could be considered juveniles."

"Please, you can't tell from a child's size at all!" Sea Emperor couldn't help but reply, "While the adult divine beast Luo Yu Divine Sparrow, isn't as large as the Starry Sky Giant Beast, it's still comparable to some small planets. According to my database, their wingspan is about a million meters. Your former home, Deep Sea Star, is only about 12 million meters in diameter, and its Moon God Star, Deep Sea Star only about 3 million meters. Just think about how big that is."...

Hearing the Sea Emperor's words, Gu Ding suddenly realized that he clearly remembered the Crimson Blood Beast that his group had encountered before. It was obvious that the Luo Yu Divine Sparrow, judging solely from its size, was also a giant among the Starry Sky Giant Beast, which explained why the cubs were so large.

With his mind focused, Gu Ding officially entered battle mode, because the Luo Yu Beast's black eyes were now looking in his direction, clearly having discovered him as its target.

"What's the use of being big? I'm now at the same Combat Strength as you, a five-star Peak-rank God. I want to see what's so powerful about a juvenile divine beast!" Gu Ding's fighting spirit surged rapidly.

The Luo Yu Beast seemed to sense the power of Gu Ding's aura as well. It was somewhat surprised, as it could feel that the strength of Gu Ding's aura was no weaker than its own, giving it a faint sense of threat, which it disliked.

"Grumble!"

A clear, crisp cry reverberated, reaching thousands of kilometers away, and was heard by some of the top experts in the Flame Zone who were hunting in the High-rank God areas. They all found the sound very pleasant.

But in Gu Ding's view, it was not so. The cry of the Luo Yu Beast was indeed invigorating, but to Gu Ding, it was a death knell.

With a cry, it unleashed a spiraling pillar of fire from its mouth, blasting out like a cannonball, aimed directly at Gu Ding. Gu Ding had no doubt about the power of that pillar of fire; if it hit him, he would likely be severely injured, so he quickly dodged.

"Boom!" The pillar of fire struck the ground with a deafening roar.

Gu Ding looked down and saw that the spot where he had stood was now a bottomless dark abyss, from which golden flames were spewing forth, a sight that filled one with horror.

"So strong!" Gu Ding had to admit that he had really met a formidable opponent this time.
