Devouring Star: Thunder Lord

Chapter 388 Shock
As the light emitted by the aerial rune pattern became increasingly dense, the entire rune pattern continued to press downwards.

Gradually, the area of ​​activity for the nine surviving soldiers on the battlefield was further compressed.

Especially the four people who entered at the very beginning, their current range of movement is less than half of what it used to be.

Even the rock giant's attacks became more ferocious.

But these are not the most difficult parts.

The most difficult part was when a huge rocky hand suddenly emerged from a deep fissure in the earth!
The giant rock hand was still surrounded by scalding hot liquid.

Four massive rocky hands, each a million kilometers wide, suddenly appeared without warning and grabbed directly at the four elite soldiers.

"what!!!"

Among the four soldiers, an elite soldier with dark, mysterious markings on his face was about to dodge when half of his divine body was grabbed by the rocky hand!
The enormous rocky hand gripped the soldier tightly.

No matter how the soldier resisted, he could not break free even a fraction of an inch.

At this moment, the ancient runes in the sky continued to descend while pouring out a large amount of flowing light downwards.

"Ahhhh!"

The bound soldier looked on in despair, and could only watch helplessly as the light engulfed him.

At the same time, the giant rock giant's enormous fist came at him from the other side.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of punches.

Under the onslaught of the flowing light, this elite soldier, possessing extraordinary strength and two mechanical treasures, was annihilated alive, losing all his divine power and perishing.

"We can't let the giant rock grab us!"

At this moment, the other surviving soldiers unleashed their full power, daring not to hold back in the slightest.

Even the two Azure Dragon Army soldiers looked solemn and dared not relax as much as before.

Although Yang Yu was still in control, he was now more wary.

After all, the giant rock hand swings extremely fast and stays close to the rock giant. Once caught, one would be subjected to a double attack from the rock giant and the flowing light in a very short time.

"If this continues, it's only a matter of time before these elite soldiers perish."

Yang Yu still had the leisure to observe other battlefields.

really.

At this moment, apart from Yang Yu and the two Azure Dragon Army soldiers who were temporarily out of danger.

The other surviving soldiers were all trapped in a desperate situation.

If before it was just a desperate escape, now it's a life-or-death crisis!
For an instant.

The situation on the field then deteriorated completely.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The soldiers, whose divine power was already greatly depleted, were now facing an ever-compressing space. Finally, some soldiers were unable to dodge in time and were grabbed by the giant rock hand, dying under the rock giant's fist.

As the ancient rune diagram continued to descend, countless streams of light bombarded down from the sky, making the time of the light bombardment shorter and shorter. As a result, the soldiers were hit by more and more streams of light, and even their movements began to be distorted.

These soldiers, burning with divine power, howled helplessly, each unleashing their proudest secret techniques with all their might.

They may attack or flee.

Try every possible way to make yourself last longer.

"No!"

A soldier flying in a streak of colorful light was suddenly grabbed by a giant rock hand that appeared out of nowhere. A dark red rock giant followed closely behind, pounding the soldier with its two large fists.

In an instant, the soldier was completely killed and turned into nothingness, leaving behind only some armor and treasures.

Meanwhile, other soldiers of slightly weaker strength were also grabbed by the giant rock hand and perished under the attacks of the Streamer and the Rock Giant.

But Yang Yu, as always, swaggered along the edge of the battlefield, constantly teasing the rock giant and the rock hand.

Even the mental attacks that appeared were completely ignored by Yang Yu.

"Hoohoho!"

When only six soldiers remained on the battlefield, the dark red rock giant roared with excitement.

follow closely……

Wow!
The rock giant and the rock hand all turned into crimson liquid, flowing back into the depths of the earth's fissure.

Even the armor and treasures of the fallen soldiers were swept into the crevice.

At the same time, these small worlds also vanished directly.

In the ancient, silver-gray hall, four commanders were granted titles.

The strongest among them was even an Eternal True God, while the other three were all Void True Gods. At this moment, all four of them watched the light screen with great excitement, observing Yang Yu's performance on the second floor of the Wuqi Tower.

On the light screen.

Clad in dark armor, Yang Yu effortlessly dodged the giant rock hand in mid-air, casually toying with the rock giant, and even now, he could keep the countless streams of light that shot down from him from touching him.

"Tsk tsk... This Sergeant Lei Ting's movement skills are ridiculously strong."

"That's right, he hasn't used any divine power techniques yet. I really don't know where his limit is."

The four leaders were shocked by what they saw on the screen.

They had seen many Law Masters with powerful movement techniques.

But to be this powerful is simply unheard of!

Logically speaking, someone with such strong agility should also be very strong in other aspects, and should be able to easily break through to the True God level by following the path of laws.

However, all four leaders knew that many ambitious Law Lords were unwilling to become mediocre True Gods.

Instead, he wanted to take the path of divine power and become a true god with an incomparably strong and profound foundation!
The four commanders were all speculating that this soldier, Thunder, might be the ambitious Lord of Laws.

"The second level is no challenge for him at all. Let's see if the third level can cause him any trouble," said the burly commander, the strongest among them and at the level of an Eternal True God.

The other three commanders were also aware of this.

On the battlefield.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As the trials faded.

The two soldiers who survived were utterly astonished and overwhelmed with emotion.

If it had been just a few seconds later, they would have given up completely.

Fortunately, they persevered in the end.

Although his strength is less than one-thousandth of what it was at his peak, he has at least survived.

As long as you're alive, there's hope!
Swish swish!
Six beams of azure light descended, enveloping Yang Yu and his group of six, before instantly teleporting them away.

……

The third floor of Wuqi Tower is a vast grassland.

As Yang Yu and his six figures appeared.

"Finally, more soldiers have arrived."

"This batch is good; six people came directly."

"This third level is taking forever to collect. I wonder when I'll be able to gather enough."

Voices came one after another.

Clearly, these soldiers had been waiting for some time.

As soon as Yang Yu appeared, he glanced around at the distance and saw several figures scattered in the distance, five of them at a glance.

Among them were figures of soldiers and figures of strange beasts.

Just as Yang Yu was carefully observing his surroundings.

The other soldiers who entered with him were so frightened by Yang Yu that they kept hiding and even used secret techniques to seal the spatial fluctuations in the vast surrounding area.

Even the two Azure Dragon Army soldiers were no exception.

Although they were both strong, they still faced extremely difficult resistance in the final moments of the second level.

In contrast, Yang Yu always appeared calm and collected, as if he could never see the limits.

This composure made the two of them extremely wary.

"Ok?"

"This……"

The soldiers in front were stunned by what they saw. They weren't fools; they could all see that just by standing there, the soldiers behind them were so frightened that they kept their distance. Clearly, their strength was on a completely different level.

"Let's stay away too."

The five soldiers in front quickly distanced themselves from Yang Yu.

This scene made Yang Yu shake his head and smile. Time passed, and the days went by.

On the fifth day, another group of soldiers arrived, but only two of them survived.

Not long after, the sixth batch of soldiers arrived, consisting of three surviving soldiers.

Over the next few hours, soldiers arrived one after another.

Nearly two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the grassland on the third floor of Wuqi Tower, a total of 37 soldiers had gathered. Some of the new soldiers at the back knew some of the soldiers at the front, and after some conversation, they also learned how terrifying Yang Yu was.

Many others also avoided it from afar.

But still, somewhat confident, he didn't dodge.

"Pshaw! A mere tribal warrior has scared you like this."

A giant serpent, its body covered in blue scales and stretching for tens of millions of kilometers, spitting out its long forked tongue, looked at Yang Yu, who was sitting cross-legged tens of thousands of meters away, and said disdainfully, "Before I joined the army, I had already killed tens of thousands of tribal warriors. I wonder how many blows a small tribesman can withstand from me."

As it spoke, the giant snake looked at Yang Yu provocatively.

"With your divine body being so large and possessing three mechanical treasures, you naturally have nothing to fear. If we were like you, we wouldn't be afraid either."

Some soldiers from the same beast faction in the distance said this.

Although these strange beasts are all quite large, with some even reaching tens of thousands of kilometers in size, they are no match for the blue-armored giant serpent that is tens of millions of kilometers long.

"Hmph! Just you wait and see, I'll show that tribal warrior what I'm made of."

The blue-armored giant serpent looked confidently at Yang Yu.

His eyes were filled with intense killing intent. "This soldier is so strong, he must have a lot of treasures on him. Even if I can't complete the title mission this time, I must seize the opportunity to grab as many treasures as possible, and exchange them for enough military merits to help me break through to the True God realm."

The Azure Armored Giant Serpent was powerful and knew that no one had completed this title mission for countless years, so it naturally made multiple preparations.

Provocation and fear surrounding them.

Yang Yu ignored them all.

He simply sat there quietly, cross-legged.

at last.

With the arrival of the three more soldiers, the grassland world on the third floor of Wuqi Tower finally stirred.

"Boom!"

A huge vortex, resembling waves, suddenly appeared in the sky above the grassland.

The forty surviving soldiers all looked up at the sky.

hum!
Spacetime rippled like waves, and Yang Yu and his forty soldiers, no matter where they were on the grassland, were instantly teleported to the very bottom of the giant vortex.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Suddenly, beams of light descended from the vortex high in the sky.

It completely surrounds a vast area of ​​grassland below, approximately one billion kilometers in diameter, effectively isolating this area from the outside world.

Meanwhile, the diameter of the vortex above also reaches one billion kilometers.

Wow~
Suddenly, a giant eye appeared in the center of the swirling water high in the sky.

The enormous eye looked down, and for a moment, the soldiers below, including Yang Yu, felt as if their souls had frozen.

"Wu Qilou!"

Suddenly, an old voice echoed in the minds of every soldier, "The first three levels are fraught with life-or-death danger."

"But as long as you survive the first three levels, there will be no more danger of death. In fact, starting from the fourth level, there will be various inheritances, rewards, and so on."

"So the higher you climb, the greater the benefits you will reap."

The aged voice said, "Of course, you must all survive to get through this third level."

A giant eye high in the sky looked down at the forty soldiers below.

The aged voice continued to echo:
"Based on the strength you demonstrated in the first two levels, only thirteen of you will survive this third level!"

"The thirteen surviving soldiers can enter the fourth level and obtain many benefits."

"Entering the warship is forbidden until the third layer of crisis has been overcome; otherwise, it will be treated as a failure, resulting in death and annihilation."

The old voice startled all the soldiers.

There are only thirteen spots left for survival?
……

Immediately, many of the forty soldiers were filled with worry. Those who could endure to the third level were all extraordinary, but now more than half of them were going to die!

Apart from a few like Yang Yu, the other soldiers dared not say for sure that they would survive.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Suddenly, several explosions rang out in succession.

The giant blue-armored serpent, its tail gleaming with a rich blue light, lashed out repeatedly, instantly obliterating a poor soldier whose strength was already less than one percent of what it once was, reducing him to nothingness.

With a flick of its tail, the giant snake soldier pocketed all the unfortunate soldier's treasures.

Yang Yu was slightly taken aback, but not surprised. He swept his soul power over and instantly refined and absorbed the soldier's true spirit.

"what!"

"It killed the sergeant."

The other surviving soldiers looked on in astonishment.

The one who just made the move was the giant serpent soldier. The giant serpent soldier sneered, "Wu Qilou said only thirteen could live, but he didn't forbid us from fighting. The more we kill, the fewer opponents we have. Hahaha, you can all die now."

It should be noted that most of the soldiers were seriously injured after just experiencing the torment of the second layer of the 'small world'. Although they used divine power recovery treasures, the recovery of divine power takes a long time. Most of the soldiers are not in good condition now, and the weakest of them are not even one-thousandth of their peak strength.

"escape!"

"careful!"

"go!"

One by one, the seriously wounded soldiers fled in all directions, trying to keep their distance from the soldiers with powerful auras.

However, the billion-kilometer radius covered by the divine eye high in the sky was impossible to escape; no matter how one tried to escape, they would have to stay within this area... For a time, chaos reigned within the divine eye's light domain.

Yang Yu stood there, ignoring his surroundings, and not a single soldier dared to confront him. Even the most arrogant beast-like giant snake soldier didn't attack Yang Yu from the start.

"Boom!"

The enormous divine eye high in the sky suddenly lit up.

Golden rays spread downwards.

"what!"

"This is……"

Some soldiers who were still fighting suddenly felt their consciousness being impacted. Many soldiers temporarily stopped fighting and carefully resisted the impact on their will.

No one knows what kind of danger lies on the third level. If it is a terrible danger, then for them to be distracted by fighting is tantamount to courting death.

But in just a short while, three of the forty soldiers had fallen, all of whom had been seriously injured and on the verge of death on the second floor.

Now they were easily crushed to death, and even their mechanical treasures, armor, and weapons were stolen.

"Fortunately, the Python River Army soldiers didn't move." The two Azure Dragon Army soldiers looked at Yang Yu from afar, then looked up at the Divine Eye in the sky.

Many soldiers looked up at the divine eye.

The divine eye emitted endless golden light, enveloping the area below. The powerful impact of its will was something that all the soldiers could withstand.

"What kind of danger lies on this third level?"

"Just that divine eye?"

"The second layer initially only contained runes, but later rock giants and other strange dangers appeared. Who knows what other bizarre dangers might emerge in the third layer?" The soldiers felt uneasy, and some even flew up, afraid to approach the ground for fear that something might suddenly appear on the grassland.

Endless golden light shone on the grassland and on every soldier.

Vaillant is also gradually improving.

"The impact on my will is getting stronger!"

"Could it be that the third floor of Wuqi Tower is a test of willpower?" The soldiers resisted one after another, none of them willing to give up easily. After all, they all knew that the third floor was the last one with a risk of death, while the fourth floor and above were full of benefits and rewards. Who wouldn't give it a shot?
Yang Yu endured the test of willpower and sighed inwardly. No wonder the seriously wounded soldiers hadn't received treatment; it turned out to be a test of their will.

Even if the divine body is lost, it will have a great impact on combat power, but a very small impact on willpower.

"The intensity of the impact on willpower is increasing."

Yang Yu turned to look into the distance, where the giant serpent, now transformed into a blue-armored mechanical creature, was wreaking havoc. "This bit of mental shock has no effect on me at all. While the mental shock is still weak, I'll try to kill as many weak soldiers as possible and grab as many treasures as possible!"

Whoosh!
Seeing this, Yang Yu also activated his Dark Thunder Wings, his speed immediately soaring, and he joined the battle.

The opportunity to plunder treasures on a grand scale within the Wuqi Tower lies on this third floor.

Fighting is prohibited from then on.

Yang Yu naturally had to seize this opportunity.
