Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 599 - 332: Star Beast_2

Such incidents of preemptively eliminating contestants are not uncommon. Lu Yu and the others occasionally spot flashes erupting in the pitch-black void, indicating they're not alone near this star.

The star-devouring insect race had just been annihilated when a spatial passage opened not far from Lu Yu and his team, and several figures flew out from it.

The leading middle-aged man, upon reaching the void, quickly scanned the surroundings. Seeing Zhao Tianjue's figure, he hurriedly led his group away, avoiding the area where Zhao Tianjue was.

The newcomers were humans from the same Divine Weapon Pavilion, so Zhao Tianjue didn't take action to eliminate them.

Of course, if they had been adversaries of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he would have mercilessly exterminated them.

The first challenge of entering the demon star is determining whether the leading strongman's power is formidable. If the leader is killed by a powerhouse from another team, the fate of accompanying talented individuals is predictable.

Luck plays a part in this; if one's chosen direction into the demon star lacks an overpowering strongman, peace could ensue.

Lu Yu and the others waited in the void for a long time. The demon star began to change, the bright purple starlight starting to fade, soon leaving only a thin layer of faint purple light on the surface.

"We can go down now," Zhao Tianjue said.

As he spoke, the four started descending involuntarily, their speed continuously increasing.

Thankfully, this star lacked an atmosphere, otherwise, they would have turned into meteors.

During the rapid descent, Lu Yu struggled to look around and saw people dropping from various directions.

He turned his head and suddenly noticed a mountain on the demon star was moving, countless bolts of lightning shooting from it, lighting up huge patches of the sky with electric light.

He only then realized that the mountain was a colossal star beast, towering tens of thousands of meters.

The enormous star beast generated a lightning storm covering nearly a third of the demon star, and many people were swept into it. Due to the vast range, the storm's power wasn't extremely strong.

But that was only relative to the super beast; the power distributed to each person was still potent enough to strike them into charcoal.

Crackle~ bang bang~ Lightning spread over, leaving barely any reaction time, the light sweeping over the bodies of the four.

The passes in their arms glowed, forming hazy purple spheres around them, shielding them. When the lightning touched the spheres, it surprisingly avoided them, scattering in other directions.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief; he had been ready to endure the lightning, unexpectedly finding the pass useful.

Though the four safely passed through the storm, others weren't so fortunate. Many, unprepared, underestimated the storm's power and turned into charcoal, dispersing in the air as ash.

This had nothing to do with talent; even with strong talent, if one's strength isn't enough or preparation insufficient, they could only turn into ash.

After passing through the dense storm clouds, the spheres dissipated. Lu Yu noticed the ground drawing nearer and quickly unleashed Spiritual Power to slow down.

At his current speed, while he wouldn't die from impact, it would be extremely uncomfortable with a slight chance of serious injury.

Upon releasing Spiritual Power to decelerate, Lu Yu realized something amiss. The amount of Spiritual Power sufficient for flying in the Divine Weapon Pavilion wasn't reducing his speed here at all.

With no choice but to rapidly increase output, consuming nearly five times the Spiritual Power he used in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, he finally felt a counterforce acting on him, beginning to decelerate.

Lu Yu inwardly calculated that on the demon star, one must expend five times the Spiritual Power to achieve effects comparable to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

This made flying a luxury.

Currently, he's merely using Spiritual Power for deceleration; flying would require even more energy. By his estimation, flying on the demon star would demand at least ten times the Spiritual Power.

Thud~ Lu Yu landed, stirring up clouds of dust that lingered in the air for a long time.

After landing on the demon star, he noticeably felt a scorching sensation coming from all directions on his body.

This wasn't heat, but rather something else eroding his body.

Releasing a Spiritual Power shield couldn't block that peculiar erosion sensation, so Lu Yu decided to ignore the demon star's erosion, as its impact on him was minor.

Unless he stayed on the demon star for years, this tiny erosion would gradually accumulate and cause changes, affecting his body.

However, this constant burning sensation would significantly impair one's perception of danger.

In such an environment, the body continuously signals danger from surrounding conditions, reminding the brain of imminent threats, making it easy to overlook dangers beyond the environment.

Lu Yu moved towards higher ground. The four instinctively distanced themselves when landing, intending not to interfere with each other.

Now his task was to search for star beasts, eliminate them, and acquire the stardust fragments within.

There are no plants on the demon star, as they cannot survive there. All creatures rely on the demon star's power for survival.

If the demon star is a radiation source, then the star beasts derive energy and live through the radiation from the star.

Lu Yu climbed a small hill, a drop of nearly thirty meters that was likely a lair dug by a star beast.
