Star Dou Great Forest.
Lu Yu wiped the sweat from her forehead and leaned against a tree.
"Weren't they saying there were Sky-Flying Centipede here? I've been here for four hours and haven't seen a single one."
The Great Sage lay listlessly on Lu Yu's shoulder.
Lu Yu sighed, looked up at the sky, and saw a cloud the size of a head flying towards Lu Yu —it was the Somersault Cloud.
" Great Sage, go and find it. Come back and let me know!"
Flying above the Soul Beast Forest makes one vulnerable to attacks from the Soul Beast on the ground, but Lu Yu can no longer break the taboos of the Soul Beast Forest.
If we keep searching like this, who knows when we'll ever find it.
The Great Sage nodded, leaped onto his Somersault Cloud, and soared into the sky.
Less than a minute later, the Great Sage returned, stopping in front of Lu Yu, pointing in a direction with his monkey paw and squeaking.
Looking in the direction the Great Sage pointed, Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, realizing that continuing deeper would mean leaving the outer area.
" Great Sage, approximately how far is it?"
The Great Sage looked down at the Somersault Cloud beneath his feet, then at Lu Yu.
Okay! As long as it's not more than 108,000 miles away, it'll be back in the blink of an eye. Who cares about the distance then!
Lu Yu waved his hand, signaling the Great Sage to lead the way. Lu Yu was really going all out to get on the big, soft Somersault Cloud.
After walking about two kilometers, Lu Yu heard Sisi roars of beasts coming from ahead. He stopped warily and lowered his body, mentally commanding the Great Sage to hide as well.
Parting the bushes, they saw seven Sky-Flying Centipede ganging up on three Man Faced Demon Spider in the open space in front of them.
Seeing this, Lu Yu's lips twitched. This Man Faced Demon Spider was truly hateful.
Sensing the Soul Power fluctuations emanating from the battlefield, the three leading Sky-Flying Centipede were all ten thousand years old, and their movement speed was too fast to determine their exact age.
One ten-thousand-year- Man Faced Demon Spider and two about eight thousand years old.
Lu Yu wasn't in a hurry. He figured he could wait until they were tired before reaping the benefits. Such a high-level battle was a rare sight.
As Lu Yu looked around, his gaze settled on the eight spider legs of the Man Faced Demon Spider. The first thing that came to mind when he saw this thing was Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, which would later become divine equipment.
She looked down at her chest again, not envious at all of having External Soul Bone. She just wondered if having External Soul Bone on her skin meant she could still absorb others.
Just then, a loud bang was heard, and one of the eight-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider was knocked away by two Sky-Flying Centipede and crashed heavily to the ground. Seeing this, the two Sky-Flying Centipede quickly rushed up and frantically tore at the Man Faced Demon Spider.
The other two Man Faced Demon Spider also felt a sense of crisis upon seeing this; if the fight continued, death was only a matter of time.
The Man Faced Demon Spider roared and spat out a ball of spider silk from its lower abdomen at the Sky-Flying Centipede that pounced on it. Unfortunately, the Sky-Flying Centipede was too fast, and the spider silk was completely useless. It could only passively take the hits.
As expected of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Sky-Flying Centipede is quite intelligent. It always approaches quickly before attacking, and regardless of whether the attack is effective, it immediately creates distance and waits for the next opportunity to strike.
Seeing this, Lu Yu's eyes flickered slightly. "Interesting. As expected, one thing subdues another; one traps, the other hides!"
Just then, the Man Faced Demon Spider, which had been relentlessly suppressed on the battlefield, let out a mournful cry, its body convulsed violently a few times, and it collapsed to the ground. Then, a purple Soul Ring appeared.
This scene further spurred the other two Man Faced Demon Spider. Seeing their kind die, they stopped simply defending and instead took the initiative to attack.
It's a fight where you trade your life for your life.
Lu Yu shook her head slightly; actively chasing a speed-type Sky-Flying Centipede was inherently a foolish act.
As expected, the two Man Faced Demon Spider were played like monkeys by the Sky-Flying Centipede. When they chased after the spiders in front, they were attacked from behind. When they tried to defend their backs, the Sky-Flying Centipede in front of them launched a counterattack.
Soul Beast are just that —Soul Beast— they have no brains at all. If they spit spider silk around themselves, they can not only slow down the Sky-Flying Centipede Sky-Flying Centipede, but also have a certain chance of entangled it.
Half a minute later, the remaining two Man Faced Demon Spider also reached the bottom, with two Soul Ring, one purple and one black, appearing above their corpses.
"It's our turn to make our appearance, Great Sage!"
Lu Yu patted the Great Sage's head and summoned Great Sage Ruyi Staff, handing it to him.
"Remember, just knock all the Sky-Flying Centipede unconscious!"
The Great Sage nodded, took the Ruyi Staff, and rode the Somersault Cloud to charge forward. In just a few breaths, the seven Sky-Flying Centipede were all knocked unconscious by the Great Sage before they could even react, thanks to the acceleration of the Somersault Cloud.
Peeling away the leaves from the bushes, Lu Yu walked over excitedly and picked out the smallest Sky-Flying Centipede, estimating it to be around three thousand years old.
Lu Yu extended his right hand, his Soul Power rapidly compressed and spun in his palm, and unleashed Rasengan that struck the Sky-Flying Centipede on the head.
In an instant, the Sky-Flying Centipede's head was shredded as if it had been thrown into a meat grinder, leaving no trace of its original form.
Lu Yu glanced at the other six Sky-Flying Centipede, and after confirming that they wouldn't wake up anytime soon, he sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
There are four Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring fighting here. That Soul Beast with the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard dares to come over now.
Absorbing a three-thousand-year-old Soul Ring was as easy as drinking water for Lu Yu; he absorbed it in just over ten minutes.
Looking at the two white and one purple Soul Ring on his body, Lu Yu smiled and beckoned the Great Sage over.
The Great Sage instantly understood Lu Yu's meaning, and also summoned his Soul Ring, which vibrated together with Lu Yu's Soul Ring to perform the Ring Fusion.
When the vibration frequencies of the two Soul Ring, one purple and one black, reached the same level, Lu Yu controlled the purple Soul Ring to merge into the black Soul Ring.
After the fusion was successful, the Somersault Cloud beneath the Great Sage's feet visibly increased in size.
Although it's not enough for Lu Yu to stand on both feet at the same time, it's sufficient!
Lu Yu looked at the remaining six Sky-Flying Centipede with excitement, tears of guilt sliding down her cheeks.
Lu Yu became even more excited after experiencing the Soul Power within his body.
"This setting is really great! Absorbing Soul Ring will definitely increase your Soul Power by one level. I was level 44 two days ago and I'm level 45 now!"
Without hesitation, Lu Yu turned around and went to another five-thousand-year-old Sky-Flying Centipede, sending it into the fray with Rasengan.
Four hours later, Lu Yu finally absorbed all the Soul Ring of the seven Sky-Flying Centipede, and his level reached level 50 Soul King (plus the 20 levels of Soul Power from the Great Sage ).
A 10-year-old Soul King, can you even imagine?
The Somersault Cloud has reached 64,000 years of age, and its size is now as large as a small car.
Lu Yu didn't feel it was a waste at all that absorbing Soul Ring would definitely increase his Soul Power by one level; it would only increase it by one or two levels.
Looking at the two Somersault Cloud in front of him, each as big as a small bridge, Lu Yu licked his lips and excitedly jumped onto them.
Completely disregarding their own image, they rolled around on it.
One word: Soft!
It was so soft, the kind of softness that Lu Yu wanted to sink into and never get out of.
With a thought, Lu Yu controlled the Somersault Cloud to slowly rise until it reached the clouds.
Looking at the sea of clouds around him, Lu Yu took a deep breath and roared:
"Ah--"
