Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 597 - 331: Heading to the Demon Star_3

Lu Yu shook his head, indicating he was unsure. Before he came, Zhao Tianjue hadn't mentioned there would be more companions.

It might not be companions, perhaps competitors; it depends on what the phenomenon of the chosen star is really about.

"I think there is no one else. Actually, having four people this time was quite unexpected for me. I originally thought there would only be the three of us," Owen said.

He looked at Lu Yu and asked, "What's your name? It's the first time I've seen you. Which family are you from?"

"Lu Yu, a regular disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion," Lu Yu replied.

Owen, who appeared most approachable among the three, seemed to be the best at pretending at first meetings.

Don't be fooled by Ling Long Tian Wu saying to let others call her by her name rather than a nickname; that's because she recognizes the other two's strength.

If a regular disciple from the Divine Weapon Pavilion dared to call her by a nickname, they'd probably be knocked down long before.

The princess's temper is not something to be trifled with.

"Lu Yu, how come I've never heard of him?" Owen scratched his head, murmuring quietly with some doubt.

They all have their circles, made up of people with similar levels of strength. Suddenly, a Lu Yu of equivalent strength emerged, filling Owen's mind with confusion.

Even if Lu Yu hadn't interacted with them, with such strength, Owen should have heard some news, but he couldn't recall anything, which seemed odd.

Either Lu Yu rose recently as a prodigious disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, or information about Lu Yu has been deliberately hidden.

The group stood beside the boulder, speaking sporadically, mostly with Owen questioning Lu Yu, probing for information, as was his habit.

"Someone's coming." Dragon Jie, who had been standing atop the boulder overlooking the three, suddenly spoke.

Before the crowd could turn around, the next moment, a figure appeared above their heads.

Almost instantly, this figure moved from the farthest reach of Dragon Jie's sight to right before the group.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Dragon Jie felt his heart tense. Though proud, he dared not act presumptuously before this person; he jumped down from the boulder and stood with the other three.

The newcomer was Zhao Tianjue, or perhaps his avatar.

For the group, it made no difference; they couldn't discern the real from the illusion.

Zhao Tianjue glanced at the four and said, "Everyone's here, let's go."

"Go where?" Lu Yu asked, puzzled, looking at Zhao Tianjue, as he hadn't mentioned where they were headed.

Suddenly, the sky above Zhao Tianjue split open, emitting an eerie purple-black light which made anyone looking feel dizzy and disoriented.

Zhao Tianjue let out a soft hum, and the group instantly felt refreshed, with the crack in their vision transforming into a night sky with only a few stars.

It was as if Zhao Tianjue had torn the fabric of time, allowing them to see a nighttime world directly.

Of course, this couldn't be the nighttime world; the other side of the crack was where they were headed—the empty space where the mystical star resides.

Zhao Tianjue waved his hand, and the four felt something lift them from the ground, following Zhao Tianjue into the crack.

The crack swiftly healed once they departed... Suddenly, just as it was about to close, a shriveled yellow claw grasped it, space forces slicing into the claw, exploding into dazzling rays.

Not knowing what creature's claw it was, it shockingly could ignore the spatial force's cutting.

As the claw's owner attempted to enter the Divine Weapon Realm, another Zhao Tianjue appeared above the desolate ancient battlefield, glancing at the claw's owner; the monster in the void immediately froze all actions.

As it attempted to retract its claw, Zhao Tianjue spoke, "Since you've come, leave something as a memento."

Then, without showing any action, the shriveled yellow claw, impervious to the space force's slicing, suddenly exploded into fragments, adding further ominous energy to the desolate ancient battlefield. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The claw shattered, the spatial crack healed, and Zhao Tianjue's figure disappeared.
