In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Great wasteland.

One hundred thousand mountains.

"Boom!"

A loud tremor followed, accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground.

Lu Yuan rode his fiery-maned horse over mountains and through dense forests at high speed.

Behind them, a giant rhinoceros with a single horn was hot on their heels.

This strange beast has thick, rough skin and is covered in scales.

Its body was frighteningly large, standing over ten feet tall.

It may appear clumsy, but its limbs are strong and powerful, allowing it to unleash astonishing speed and strength in a short period of time!
Especially its single horn on its forehead is indestructible, gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

Once stabbed, even a Qi Refining cultivator at the Spirit Embryo Realm will die on the spot!
"This giant rhinoceros with one horn has activated its ancient bloodline, and runes and Dao marks have been born in its body. Its strength is by no means weaker than that of a Qi Refining cultivator in the Inscription Realm."

"Fortunately, it's not fast enough to catch up with the fiery-maned horse."

Looking at the giant rhinoceros that was far behind, Lu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with his strength, although he could kill this strange beast, he would still have to pay a considerable price.

In the harsh environment of the wilderness, being injured means facing even more danger.

"What a pity. The bone patterns of this beast must be very powerful. If I could observe them, I would probably be able to master another powerful secret technique."

Just as Lu Yuan was feeling a little regretful.

The light in the forest dimmed.

Suddenly, a large shadow fell from the sky over the dense canopy of trees, making it look like rain to someone who didn't know better.

But if you look closely, you'll get goosebumps all over.

Because that vast expanse of shadow was clearly composed of countless, densely packed leeches.

These leeches are only as long and thin as bean sprouts, and their body shape is very similar to that of leeches.

The only difference is...

Although their bodies are small, their suckers at the front are very large and have sharp, fine teeth that can bite through metal and break iron, resembling a gaping maw ready to devour anyone!
"Run!"

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly urged.

The fiery-maned horse clearly knew the seriousness of the situation, and it used every ounce of its strength, moving at a speed that was almost like a streak of light.

Finally, just before the leeches landed, they narrowly escaped the jungle.

As soon as we emerged from the jungle.

The fiery-maned horse collapsed to the ground with a 'plop,' foaming at the mouth.

The next moment.

It seemed as if it had been burned, and then jumped up from the ground in great fear.

The fiery-maned horse strained to turn its head and saw that several leeches were wriggling on its rump, trying to burrow into its flesh!
"Don't move, I'll take care of it for you."

Lu Yuan quickly used his True Solar Fire to burn the leeches to ashes before turning back to look at the jungle with lingering fear.

A single mountain leech is nothing to fear.

However, when they swarm in large groups, their threat level increases significantly.

Especially among the leeches in the distance, there were more than a dozen that were extremely large, with bodies as thick as an arm and blood-red patterns all over their bodies. They were clearly mutated blood leeches!

The blood leech is not only extremely dangerous, but its suckers also have sharp teeth that act like poisonous needles, capable of secreting toxins to paralyze the enemy's soul.

If they target you, even a Qi Refiner as strong as the Spirit Embryo Realm will be devoured until not even bone fragments are left!
The giant rhinoceros with one horn, however, was not as lucky as Lu Yuan.

Before it could react, countless leeches rained down on it.

Although the giant rhinoceros is comparable in strength to a Qi Refiner at the Inscription Realm, it is powerless against the small mountain leech.

Moreover, ants can kill elephants.

These leeches are agile and immediately burrow into the body through its eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and the gaps between its scales, frantically devouring its flesh and blood.

"Roar!"

The giant rhinoceros was in excruciating pain and rolled around on the ground.

But it suddenly froze for a moment, then let out a shrill roar that was far more piercing than before, as if it had suffered some unbearable inhuman torture.

Lu Yuan looked closely.

It was discovered that the dozen or so mutated leech kings were too large to burrow into the flesh through the gaps in their scales.

In the end, they actually managed to squeeze through the valley of the giant rhinoceros.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

These insidious blood leeches are just too cruel!
After a while.

The giant rhinoceros's struggles grew weaker and weaker, leaving it lying on the ground in a state of utter misery, as countless leeches gnawed at its flesh.

After sucking the blood, the leeches' bodies swelled up at a visible speed, and more than a dozen of them transformed into mutated blood leeches.

They ate incredibly fast, and in no time they had devoured the one-horned rhinoceros completely, leaving not even a bone behind!
Only one rhinoceros horn lay on the ground, emitting a faint light, looking quite mystical.

Eat and drink enough.

The leeches scattered and climbed up the trees, attaching themselves to the leaves, waiting for their next prey to pass by.

“Unlike other strange beasts, the mountain leech swarms constantly migrate and change their hunting territories, no wonder the map that my patriarch grandfather left me was never used.”

Lu Yuan said thoughtfully.

He then turned his attention to the rhinoceros horn.

"This rhinoceros horn is so tough that even the mutated blood leech can't do anything to it; it's definitely a treasure."

"If you can retrieve it, I'll find you two more beautiful mares."

Lu Yuan leaned close to the horse's ear and deliberately egged it on.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, the fiery-maned horse neighed angrily and kicked its hooves repeatedly.

The swarm of mountain leeches is so terrifying that even Qi Refining cultivators at the Inscription Realm are unwilling to provoke them.

Lu Yuan sent it to retrieve the rhinoceros horn; wasn't that just sending it to its death?
If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't beat Lu Yuan, it would have liked to kick Lu Yuan on the head.

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Just take me there."

Lu Yuan pleaded with him and used the mare as leverage before finally getting him to ride his fiery-maned horse closer to the dangerous area once more.

However, knowing the terror of the leech swarm, he did not venture into the jungle rashly.

Instead, it circled the jungle to make sure there were no other powerful creatures nearby before stopping two miles away.

He first used his mental power to try to pick up the rhinoceros horn from a distance.

But as soon as he made a move, the blood-red patterns on the surface of those dozens of mutated blood leeches glowed slightly, emitting a strong resistance that prevented him from taking the rhinoceros horn.

Moreover, the swarm of leeches were also eager to make a move and had their eyes on Lu Yuan!
"These leeches actually use their prey to build their nests?"

Lu Yuan asked in surprise.

Especially judging from their practiced manner, they clearly don't fly the air force much normally.

"It seems that's the only way."

Seeing that he could not retrieve the object from a distance, Lu Yuan sat directly on his horse, drew his bow and arrow, and used the true fire of the sun to condense a rocket.

"Whoosh!"

He released the bowstring, and the rocket shot out, instantly covering a distance of two miles.

However, due to the interference of those mutated blood leeches, the arrow suddenly veered off course and fell into the outer area of ​​the jungle.

However, they clearly underestimated Lu Yuan's methods.

The sun's true fire ignites anything it touches, burning everything in its path.

In addition, Lu Yuan visualized a strong wind, and another storm swept through the flames, blowing them to various places.

The next moment, the fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind amplified the fire's power.

The flames ignited the vegetation in the outer area and quickly spread towards the inner area, turning the entire jungle into a raging inferno in an instant.

The leeches were also engulfed by the fire and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye!

Only the dozens of mutated blood leeches, seeing the situation was not right, immediately sprang up from the tree and shot straight at Lu Yuan like sharp swords.

Its speed was in no way inferior to the arrows shot by Lu Yuan!
"As I guessed, these Blood Mountain Louses not only possess rudimentary intelligence, but their strength is also comparable to that of a Qi Refining cultivator in the Spirit Embryo Realm."

"If I had rashly stepped into the jungle just now, even with the protection of the True Fire of the Sun, I would have been caught off guard!"

Lu Yuan muttered to himself.

But now these mutated blood leeches have been forced out by the sea of ​​fire, which gives him time to deal with the situation calmly.

With a slight thought, a ball of golden flame appeared out of thin air, enveloping him and his fiery-maned horse.

The flames burned fiercely, their terrifying temperature causing the air to distort!

When this ball of golden flame appeared.

The dozens of mutated blood leeches suddenly stiffened, and like birds with broken wings, they fell to the ground from mid-air.

Their bodies appeared intact, but their souls had long been burned to ashes, leaving only limp corpses!
"Go over and have a look."

Lu Yuan extinguished all the flames on his body, looking slightly tired.

The complete form of the true fire of the sun possesses the transformation of yin and yang.

It can burn the physical body, and it can also ignite the enemy's soul from a distance!

The fiery-maned horse was still resentful that Lu Yuan had tried to trick it, but after seeing the True Fire of the Sun that Lu Yuan had just unleashed...

Immediately, her mouth watered, and she put on a fawning expression, nuzzling her head enthusiastically against Lu Yuan's leg.

"You're thinking shit."

Lu Yuan understood its meaning perfectly well.

However, the full-form True Sun Fire was too terrifying in power, and even he could not use it frequently, let alone give it to the Fiery Mane Horse as food.

Upon hearing this, the fiery-maned horse dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, it worked even harder, running over and trampling the mutated blood leech's corpse into a pulp with its hooves.

With the mutated blood leech dead, the other ordinary leeches could no longer pose any threat to Lu Yuan.

After that jungle was completely burned to ashes.

He activated the Five Elements Visualization Technique, and a torrential downpour descended from the sky, extinguishing all the flames.

As the heavy rain subsided, Lu Yuan's aura changed once again, emanating a rich vitality of wood.

Nourished by the aroma of wood.

Amidst the thick ashes, grass seeds and tree seeds took root, sprouted, and soon grew into a dense forest!
Lu Yuan's mastery of the Five Elements technique was unparalleled.

With a mere gesture, one can determine the birth and death of all things.

If there were any Qi cultivators here, they would probably be dumbfounded and full of admiration!

However, Lu Yuan had also consumed most of his spiritual energy.

He swallowed a few Spirit Nourishing Pills to restore himself to peak condition before picking up the rhinoceros horn and leaving.

The rhinoceros horn was still hot to the touch after being scorched by the flames.

The bone patterns on it are perfectly natural, seemingly carrying some kind of powerful law or Dao mark.

"The One-Horned Giant Rhinoceros is born with divine strength and is known throughout the world for its power. The law-based bone patterns within its body are clearly also related to its power."

A hint of understanding flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

In his previous life, he possessed the bloodline of the Celestial Ant, and was known as the ultimate in strength in the world. He was extremely familiar with the laws of power.

However, the laws governing the universe differ in each world.

Just like the laws governing a magical world are completely different from the rules governing the world of cultivation.

Having gone through many reincarnations, Lu Yuan's understanding of the laws has reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Even someone as extraordinary as him needs to refer to the power system of this world and the rules governing the operation of heaven and earth in order to transform his insights from his past life into real combat power.

"If it's a true spirit cultivation system, there's no need for all this trouble; one can simply descend in person."

Lu Yuan smiled wryly.

The reason why the True Spirit System has become the mainstream in the main world is because it is perfectly compatible with all cultivation systems and can automatically adapt to all planes of the myriad worlds.

After all, no matter how strong a plane's combat power is, or how complex the laws of heaven and earth may be.

It is only a part of the myriad realms.

However, personally descending is extremely dangerous. If one does not explain one's purpose, it is equivalent to invading this world plane, and one may very well be directly annihilated by the will of Heaven.

"The Great Wilderness is isolated from news, and the major tribes rarely communicate with outsiders."

"Within a radius of 100,000 li, only the nearby city of Dayu can come into contact with a large number of Qi Refiners."

"First, go to Dayu City to gather information, and then collect resources to enter the Inscription Realm."

Lu Yuan urged the spirited horse to travel slowly, while he focused all his attention on studying the rhinoceros horn.

It has accumulated from previous lives.

In just a few days, Lu Yuan grasped a trace of the laws of power in this world.

Not only did his strength increase by more than 50%, but his cultivation level also rose to the mid-stage of the Spirit Embryo Realm.

The giant rhinoceros's strength lies mostly in its indestructible and unstoppable horn.

When Lu Yuan had thoroughly understood all the bone patterns.

The spiritual embryo in his sea of ​​consciousness also gained a sharper, more ruthless edge.

Furthermore, whenever Lu Yuan raised his hand or took a step, a phantom image of a giant rhinoceros would appear behind him, which could greatly enhance his combat power!

He did not slack off and continued to study the totem and Qi cultivation method of the Stone Turtle Tribe.

The Stone Turtle Tribe are descendants of the Bixi, possessing immense strength, capable of easily carrying an ancient sacred mountain on their backs.

While the One-Horned Giant Rhinoceros possesses extraordinary strength, how can it compare to the legendary ancient mythical beasts?
Although Lu Yuan did not possess the bloodline of the Stone Turtle, he was unable to cultivate the Qi Refining Method of the Stone Turtle Tribe.

But his experience and vision are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In his view, this stone tortoise qi-refining method was nothing special.

The true essence lies in the subtle power and spirit contained within.

This time, it took him a full ten days to fully master all the methods, and he also improved the Stone Turtle Qi Refining Method so that it could be practiced even without the Stone Turtle bloodline.

"As an ancient divine beast, this Bixi does indeed have unique aspects in its inherited secret techniques."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

The Stone Turtle Qi Refining Method can draw upon the power of mountains and rivers to temper the physical body into something as heavy as a mountain and indestructible.

Furthermore, the more ley line power one absorbs, the greater one's own power becomes.

If one cultivates to the extreme, even bearing the weight of the heavens on one's shoulders is not a problem!

"Let's try the improved version first."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he dismounted.

Arriving beside a mountain thousands of feet high, he activated the Stone Turtle Carrying the Mountain Technique.

next moment.

His body suddenly sank, his legs sinking deep into the ground like tree roots.

But at the same time.

There was also a continuous flow of mountain power, which surged into his body from the depths of the ground along his legs, rapidly tempering his flesh and bones, making his body increasingly powerful!
to the end.

Lu Yuan's physical strength surged, and he felt incredibly powerful, as if he could lift an entire thousand-foot mountain.

In contrast, several cracks appeared on the surface of the mountain, as if it had been completely drained, losing a certain charm! (End of Chapter)
