After walking for most of the day, we still couldn't see the end of the wasteland.

Although he suspected that the caravan that had given him directions had deliberately pointed him to a longer route, Yang Yu didn't mind, firstly because he wasn't in a hurry.

Secondly, traveling more can broaden one's horizons.

Furthermore, it involves observing the soul fluctuations of the other party while they are speaking, as well as subsequent Mental Force.

Yang Yu confirmed that the direction the other party was pointing was correct, so he did not kill the other party directly to read their memories.

As long as there is no direct conflict of interest or offense against the natives of the Blood Luo World at the Star Level, Yang Yu will not indiscriminately kill them.

Fearless killing serves no purpose other than to breed evil thoughts within oneself.

Of course, those caught in the crossfire during battle, or Alien Race killed to enhance their soul and comprehension, are not included in this category.

In the wilderness.

Yang Yu continued his leisurely journey.

In the past two days, Yang Yu has killed two Star Level Fierce Beast and three groups of bandits, but he has not found any native powerhouses at the Universe Level or above.

However, Yang Yu did obtain some local currency from these bandits, and after absorbing their memories, he also gained some local information.

This gave Yang Yu a deeper understanding of the danger level of the Blood Luo World.

Here, Planetary Level are ordinary people who can't even fly.

Star Level beings are considered elites; bodyguards, guards, and ordinary bandits all fall within this strength range.

Above that, the Universe Level represents the core of a family, wielding considerable resources and power.

Then there are the Domain Lord and World Lord, who can all be considered overlords within their respective territories.

As for immortality.

They generally don't get involved in worldly affairs; they've all joined the 'Immortal Temple,' standing high above.

Overall, the danger level of the Blood Luo World does indeed fall within the category of Danger Level Mission.

Of course, this is under the premise of not taking risks.

If you want to obtain the Blood Luo Crystal, you need to confront the threat of Domain Lord Level powerhouse directly, or carefully select a local genius or Universe Level powerhouse to hunt down.

These still pose a certain challenge to the average Universe Level geniuses within the Virtual Universe Company.

But for Yang Yu now, it's too easy.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Yu took off straight into the air and flew due north.

Two days.

Yang Yu already had a fairly good understanding of the general situation of the Blood Luo World.

As for other, more in-depth information...

Because of his familiarity with the Original Work, Yang Yu knew the general power structure of the Blood Luo World.

Here.

The 'Immortal Temple' governs the entire continent.

However, the Immortal Temple has always been aloof and does not interfere in ordinary matters.

They will only intervene when major events such as "Outworlder" or "invasion by strange immortals" occur.

Ordinary affairs are managed with each city as the core.

Judging from what the caravan leader said earlier, the city not far ahead is within the territory of 'Helian Territory'.

Such cities are typically managed by Domain Lord have fused with at least one Blood Luo Crystal. These Territory Main City at the core, manage an area spanning tens of millions of kilometers.

Above this is the World City, managed by the World Lord. The territory under their management is determined by their own strength, ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of kilometers.

According to data provided by the Virtual Universe Company, there are over ten million World City in the entire Blood Luo World.

In addition, there are three major dangerous areas, as well as many other places unsuitable for habitation.

So, when you calculate it that way...

The diameter of the entire Blood Luo Continent is measured in light-years.

It's a very large world.

Several hours later.

"Call out!"

Yang Yu, who had transformed into Leidian, stopped a thousand miles in front of Helian City and slowly descended into a dense forest.

After disguising themselves briefly, they headed towards the city.

Yang Yu plans to obtain some Blood Luo Crystal, as well as detailed information such as the surrounding map and power structure.

As the lord of a city, he must have had excess Blood Luo Crystal on him.

I'm pondering these things.

Yang Yu arrived in front of Helian City in no time.

Looking at the massive city gate, hundreds of feet high, and the City Wall, over three hundred meters high and stretching for thousands of kilometers.

Yang Yu knew that such City Wall was only good for stopping ordinary Star Level bandits or Fierce Beast.

It has absolutely no effect on beings of the Universe Level or higher.

However, for a world where great power belongs to oneself.

A Domain Lord has fused with the Blood Luo Crystal is the Strongest in the area.

As long as he doesn't die, it doesn't matter whether the City Wall is breached or not.

"An entrance fee of Yidao Coin is required to enter the city!"

"It was said by a burly soldier wearing scale armor."

Behind him was a group of soldiers, also dressed in scale armor, patrolling.

Seeing this, Yang Yu casually tossed out a small red knife-shaped coin.

The soldiers guarding the city accepted the knife and coin, and no longer obstructed the city.

Walking on the huge street, which is at least 100 meters wide.

Yang Yu looked at the shops and restaurants on both sides with great interest.

Long-term seclusion and cultivation.

It's nice to take a break and enjoy the exotic scenery while doing quests.

As for cultivation...

Yang Yu's Zhuliuyin Clone and Demon Dragon Clone are now the best cheat codes for cultivation.

Moreover, over the years, Yang Yu has gradually reached the later stage in his understanding of the Lightning Origin Law.

If you reach the limit too quickly, and then after cultivating to the level of World Lord, you can't help but break through to Immortality, which would be disastrous.

Yang Yu plans to stay at the World Lord stage for a while longer.

After all, during the World Lord era, it was necessary to determine the last slot for a Clone and also to carefully study the Secret Technique that appeared after the Thunder Inheritance.

Therefore, Yang Yu's Human Original Body only occasionally comprehends the Lightning Law, spending most of his time researching the increasingly vast and profound Liuguang Secret Technique.

Walking along the bustling streets, Yang Yu casually found a grand-looking, luxurious restaurant and checked in there.

Sitting at a table on the side of the restaurant, Yang Yu sipped local wine while listening to the conversations of the diners around him.

These diners clearly came from all over the country, and Yang Yu could recognize several of the dozens of Blood Luo Language he knew from the surroundings.

"Have you heard? Something big has happened in Xiahou City, the closest city to Helian City!"

At another table about ten meters in front of Yang Yu, a burly man who looked like a merchant spoke mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, his companion immediately perked up his ears. "Tell me what's going on! I haven't been to Xiahou City for years, and I'm not very familiar with the latest situation there."

"Haha, this is absolutely the biggest news in Xiahou City in the last ten years!" The burly man looked at his companion with pride.

The burly man's voice was loud and clear, and he didn't try to hide it when he spoke about it.

This drew the attention of diners at several nearby tables, who all turned to look.

Seeing this, the burly man excitedly continued speaking.

"For the past hundred years or so, I have been traveling between Xiahou City and Helian City with a large, familiar merchant caravan, so I am very familiar with the situation in Xiahou City."

"Just half a year ago, I bought a batch of 'Yunling Grass' in Xiahou City. When I was about to return, I suddenly heard the news that the head of the Lüqiu Family had died suddenly!"

"Is that Lüqiu Chi?" the burly man's companion asked curiously. "Wasn't Lüqiu Chi a ninth-level Cloud Level Realm expert? I heard he was a genius who fused with a Blood Luo Crystal. How could such a powerful expert suddenly die?"

"Haha, so this is the biggest news in Xiahou City in ten years." The burly man laughed heartily.

Helian City is more than 20 million kilometers away from Xiahou City, so he doesn't need to worry about encountering the Lüqiu Family here.

"Brother Feng, could you elaborate?"

"As a mere Sky Level Martial Artist, my knowledge is limited, but I've heard it's related to the patriarch of the Lüqiu Family obtaining a 'treasure'!"

The burly man lowered his voice as he spoke, "Rumor has it that Lüqiu Chi attracted the covetous eyes of a powerful assassin because of this treasure. The assassin silently assassinated him, then took the treasure and vanished without a trace."

"Hiss!"

The burly man's companion gasped, "To be able to assassinate a ninth- Cloud Level assassin so silently, that must be..."

"So now all the families, big and small, in Xiahou City are silent as cicadas in fear. Seeing that the situation was not right, I didn't dare to linger and came back with the caravan."

A trace of lingering fear still lingered in the burly man's eyes.

Upon hearing this...

Yang Yu also roughly understood why the caravan he encountered when he first landed was so cautious.

Judging from the information captured by their Mental Force, the other party should be the caravan of the Lüqiu Family. With the patriarch's mysterious death and them transporting some important goods, they naturally dared not accept strangers.

Furthermore, the Cloud Level in the Blood Luo World corresponds to the Universe Level. Anyone capable of assassinating Universe Level Nine Realm expert is highly likely to be Domain Lord Level powerhouse.

In the Blood Luo World, a Domain Lord is already considered a powerful figure.

Those so-called local small families naturally dared not provoke them.

"Brother Feng, do you know what treasure the head of the Lüqiu Family obtained that made him a target for assassins?"

Whispers could be heard again from the dining table not far away.

With nothing else to do, Yang Yu also perked up his ears to listen, treating it as some gossip from another world.

"I have indeed heard some rumors about this, but there are all sorts of rumors. Some say that Lüqiu Chi obtained a 'sharp sword' that even the City Lord coveted, which has aroused covetousness."

The burly man ate heartily while laughing as he spoke.

"There are also rumors that Lüqiu Chi obtained a Space Ring from an 'Outworlder,' which contains many unknown treasures."

"Outworlder!"

"My companion exclaimed in horror."

"Ahem, keep your voice down. This is just a rumor, and its veracity is not guaranteed. There's also a more widespread rumor that he obtained a special statue. This statue is incredibly magical, making it easier for people to comprehend the laws and helping its holder break through shackles and fuse with more Blood Luo Crystal!"

The burly man spoke again, seemingly casually.

"Brother, you must be joking. What kind of statue could have such a magical effect? I feel that compared to this rumor, the most likely scenario is that Lüqiu Chi obtained a 'sharp sword'."

The burly man's companion laughed loudly.

"Haha, I think so too. Besides these three widely circulated versions, there are several other versions, but I feel those are even more far-fetched."

The two then started talking about other things, Yang Yu listened for a while but didn't find any other valuable information.

So he got up, paid the bill, and went back to his room.

"A treasure that appears to be a statue."

The information Yang Yu received from the burly man reminded him of the 'Beast God Statue' that Luo Feng had unexpectedly obtained during a mission in the Blood Luo World.

It was thanks to that statue that Luo Feng was able to comprehend the 'Beast God Path' at an extremely fast pace, and gain the appreciation of the Chaos City Lord, thus becoming his subordinate.

Yang Yu clearly remembered that the Blood Luo World had once used extremely precious 'Jade Gold' to create eighteen Beast God Statue.

Three statues were lost in the great battle of the past.

Besides the one Luo Feng obtained later, there are still two others that have been lost.

"Could it be that Lüqiu Chi obtained one of these statues?"

Thinking of this, Yang Yu's eyes lit up.

Before obtaining the Demon Dragon Clone, Yang Yu might not have been interested in the Beast God Statue that contained the Fusion Law 'Artistic Conception Gold and Void'.

But now.

Yang Yu sat silently in the living room, quietly waiting for night to fall.

Although I really want to get up and rush to Xiahou City right now to explore whether the Beast God Statue really exists.

But it's too late now, and we're already here.

Yang Yu planned to kill the lord here while he was at it, get the Blood Luo Crystal, and then head to Xiahou City.

Based on what he had seen and heard along the way, as well as the memories of those bandits, Yang Yu knew that the current lord of Helian City was named 'Helian Jun'.

Having served as the lord of this region for over 100,000 years, he was a Domain Lord of considerable strength.

Furthermore, among the bandits Yang Yu killed were those who had seen Helian Jun from afar.

Naturally, Yang Yu also learned about Helian Jun's appearance and aura.

After a long while.

When the sky over the Blood Luo World completely darkened.

Yang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes. "The hunting time has arrived!"

"Phew~"

Yang Yu into a gentle breeze, instantly drifting out of the window and flying towards the City Lord Mansion.

Night sky.

Having already used Secret Technique to conceal his presence, Yang Yu silently flew to the sky above the City Lord Mansion.

This is it.

Yang Yu coldly looked down at the vast City Lord Mansion.

Dozens of patrol teams could be seen patrolling back and forth.

"It's alert enough, but not very useful."

At this moment, Yang Yu had already mobilized his Zhuliuyin Clone to use his powerful Mental Force to investigate and discovered Helian Jun's location.

He was currently in a secret room, seemingly studying a mysterious map.

"Whoosh!"

Yang Yu activated his movement Movement Technique, and under the cover of the Secret Technique, he instantly arrived in front of the secret chamber.

Without hesitation.

Yang Yu brandished his War Blade.

"Whoosh~"

A dazzling, eerie Purple Blade Light appeared.

The secret chamber ahead, constructed with precious materials, was utterly useless against this flash of blade light.

"Boom!"

The enormous secret chamber suddenly shattered into pieces, revealing the horrified Helian Jun inside.

But before Helian Jun could react, a phantom of a soul shot out from Yang Yu's eyes.

It instantly entered Helian Jun's body, easily locating his Life Core, and then Soul Annihilation.

The tall and handsome Helian Jun collapsed to the ground.

He was still clutching that map tightly in his hand before he died.

Upon seeing this, Yang Yu had a sudden thought and instantly refined the other party's True Spirit, obtaining all of their memories.

"There was an extra bonus."

Yang Yu smiled and waved his hand, storing Helian Jun's corpse into his World Ring. Then, he flashed to an underground Treasure Vault.

With a burst of Mental Force, Yang Yu collected all the treasures in the room.

Among these treasures, two Blood Luo Crystal were hidden inside a huge purple crystal.

If it weren't for reading Helian Jun's memories, and it were just a matter of using Mental Force to investigate...

It's really hard to spot the Blood Luo Crystal hidden inside this purple crystal.
