Chapter 375 The Privilege of Forbidden Truth! The River of History Crashes! Ruthless Crushing!
Whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, ancient scholars fluttered and danced, their countless scales and powders shimmering and coalescing into a vast array of historical tentacles that intertwined and transformed into chains, attempting to entangle the projections in the dust of history.
As a medium anchored to the present world.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the summoned projection is, it will be dragged back into the river of history and unable to approach the present world.
This is an ironclad rule set by time: the old remains the old, and the present remains the present.
Click click click!
However, at the instant the connection was made, a radiant finger pointed out, instantly shattering most of it, leaving only a single tentacle remaining. This tentacle was then enveloped by a large number of beams of light, which rapidly spread across the ancient scholar butterfly's body, binding it in its terrified gaze.
"The chains bind the prisoners of time, while I am merely a passing observer."
Accompanied by whispers, the end of the beam of light was grasped by a hand, connecting the present and the past. From a distance, it looked like a dog leash... well, a kite string!
"Hiss—"
The ancient scholar Die subconsciously wanted to resist, but was quickly calmed down by an invisible wind, his eyes glazed over, and he fell into a state of lethargy.
A projection identical to Lu Yu appeared before everyone's eyes, surrounded by celestial radiance, like an ancient and sacred human being looking down upon all living beings.
this moment,
The geniuses from the three factions—humans, aliens, and demons—fell silent as they watched the calm figure crushing everything in the twilight arena. The light was gentle and warm, not dazzling.
But it sent chills down everyone's spines, leaving only one thought in their minds...
Why is it this guy again?!
I thought Lu Yu's departure would be the end of the nightmare, but little did I know it was just the beginning!
Ghost Seventeen, who had swept through thousands of races and challenged and defeated countless powerful enemies, was actually suppressed with a single kick!
If this is a dream, it's just too far-fetched!
"Very good!"
Upon seeing this, Luo Zisong was overjoyed and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Lu Xiaozi is always reliable when it matters.
"it hurts!"
Many of the alien races pinched their own flesh hard, wincing in pain, confirming that this was not an illusion and that they were not dreaming.
"Could it be a real person in disguise?"
Thoughts arose in everyone's minds, and they all looked towards the location where Lu Yu was in the distance.
My first thought was that Lu Yu used his access to the Duel Arena to go in and rescue them!
However, when countless eyes focused on him, they found him enjoying Yuan Ji's gentle massage, drinking a can of cola while admiring his "Lu Yu projection" on the stage, exclaiming:
"Sure enough, I'm just as handsome as I am now, whether it's the past me or the present me!"
"It's a real person, not an illusion!"
Many giants and ecosystem leaders activated their spiritual vision and concluded that Lu Yu, just like before, possessed an undetectable shielding ability, which even ecosystem leaders could not see through.
This ability to conceal oneself is extremely rare, and it is most likely some kind of world-class treasure that cannot appear in large quantities.
After realizing this, many industry giants chuckled to themselves, realizing they had gone mad. It was impossible for Lu Yu to pull off a deception right under their noses.
Come to think of it, if the opponent's illusion could deceive so many people at once and distort everything, they could be said to be invincible below the True King!
"How is that possible!?"
However, after receiving the assessment results from the giants, many alien and demon geniuses showed no surprise, but instead became increasingly solemn.
Although this time the projection was summoned not long ago, even at a great cost, only a projection could be summoned, not the real body.
Especially since Luo Qingyue's rank is only at the Morning Star limit, it's impossible for her to enhance the projection's power, which means...
This is only a portion of Lu Yu's strength, and he has not yet entered the Great Bright Dragon Rider form.
In other words, when he faced Tuotian and Quetzal before, it wasn't even his full strength!
This guy,
Just how much strength are they hiding?
"Doesn't this guy need time to grow? Even if you take away his two years of rest and stretch it into four years, who can go from an ordinary person to a monster that can sweep away near-giants?"
"Even looking at the history of humans, alien races, and demons, you probably wouldn't find many prodigies like this."
"Even the True King in his youth wasn't this good, was he?"
"Could it be that the Dream-Eating Cult left behind a dream legacy accelerated a thousandfold?"
"Use your walnut-sized brain to think. If they really possessed a time-space dreamscape of this level, would they have been wiped out by humanity? They would have become a top-tier cult long ago!"
"That's true. This guy's improvement is so fast, isn't he afraid of mutation? Or is it that the Ancient King's Laws really can do whatever they want?"
"How insecure is Lu Yu? He's actually hiding his true strength!"
"Damn, Luo Jie Lu Wei even crushed Gui Shiqi. With that kind of power, who can beat this woman?"
"It's over, it's over, are all the alien geniuses going to be wiped out in a bloodbath too?"
"..."
At this moment, the three major camps were in complete uproar, and they all began to speculate on just how strong Lu Yu really was.
The Heart-Stealing Locust Clan Chief grew increasingly anxious; a mere projection was enough to crush Ghost Seventeen.
So how strong would the real Lu Yu be?
Has he already reached the level of a royal prince?
"hateful!"
The Golden Winged Giant and the Four Seasons Tree Giant gritted their teeth, feeling that their previously conceived assassination plan was likely to be stillborn.
The Star Phoenix Ancestor's gaze was deep, showing no joy, but rather a strange sense of irritation. Even among the group of people who had excavated the Star Dynasty, there was no one who could compare to him.
The threat posed by Lu Yu is growing ever stronger!
If it weren't for the fear of the Human Alliance and the Supreme Council, such a dangerous seed could have been nipped in the bud.
But now, we can only watch helplessly as it grows wildly.
"No, that's not right!"
A voice came from the empty seats, attracting everyone's attention.
It was Cui Han who spoke, and she said thoughtfully, "The History Department summons the projections of targets left over from history. Although in theory every life has a projection, in reality, the weak are quickly buried in the erosion of history."
The grander the deeds and the wider the dissemination, the deeper the imprint, and the stronger the projection power that can be summoned.
For example, some legendary figures, if one can gain their spiritual approval, can summon a projection that retains 70%, 80%, or even more of their power. As for Lu Yu, it's because…”
"A world history book!"
Having heard this, the human leaders understood the cause and effect.
After all, what major event could compare to a great achievement recognized by the main world?
Lu Yu, who erected the Monument of Ten Thousand Races, will be etched into the annals of history in his strongest form under the influence of the power of the main world.
What Luo Qingyue actually summoned was not Lu Yu from an hour ago, but a projection from three hours ago.
"No wonder her first summoning attempt failed!"
Many industry giants suddenly realized the truth.
They lack the "eye of history" and also want to avoid inadvertently peeking into certain taboos in history, such as the ancient king within Lu Yu, who may also carry dangerous spiritual memories.
Therefore, without a thorough examination of the historical record, even if one did, the understanding would be unclear, and thus, the perspective from which Luo Qingyue previously viewed the historical period remains unknown.
She thought she was just a Morning Star Limit cultivator, but after Ghost Seventeen had several ancient creature projections shattered, she fell into a state of exhaustion.
It now appears that she temporarily altered the timeline to summon Lu Yu in his strongest state.
With his consent and the special nature of the history department, it is indeed possible to bring forth a projection containing 80% to 90% of Lu Yu's strength in the present world.
In this way, the crushing of Ghost Seventeen can be explained.
After realizing this, many industry giants breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I know Lu Yu is a prodigy and has the blessing of the ancient royal laws, I can't possibly challenge them in just two years. I need to experience at least a few more years of chaos.
Now it's finally starting to make some sense!
"Despicable humans, still trying to deceive us!"
The alien and demon factions did not believe Cui Han's lies, and even thought that he was deliberately creating a smokescreen to conceal some of Lu Yu's strength.
But they won't be fooled!
Even if Lu Yu isn't as exaggerated as they imagine, they will still take it even more seriously.
After all, it was just a projection that was enough to suppress top alien geniuses and make all races afraid to raise their heads.
The true master possesses numerous pets and trump cards, making him the strongest fighter below even the royal prince.
Even if they were to face a member of the royal family, they could probably escape unscathed!
Just thinking about it weighed heavily on their minds.
Luo Qingyue, who can summon historical projections, is now seen as a thorn in the side by many alien races.
It wasn't that the other party could summon Lu Yu, although that was part of the reason, but she estimated that he could only be used once or twice.
The time is approaching, and the cost of summoning is low.
But as time went by, the popularity of Lu Yu continued to rise in the main world, especially as his strength increased and his spirituality underwent a transformation.
His projection will grow stronger and stronger, buried deeper into the annals of history, and the price to be paid when summoning him will be even greater...
It's even impossible to summon!
After all, using spirituality is a very private matter, and if one is not careful, it can become a weakness that enemies can exploit to cast strange spells or world-class treasures.
Even between father and son, they won't be completely open with each other!
So not every battle will involve facing the monster Lu Yu!
But this doesn't mean Luo Qingyue is useless; on the contrary, she has extremely high potential.
Because ancient scholars relied on personal connections and networks.
With strong enough connections, she was able to record a large number of ancient creature projections, especially many ancient alien species with bizarre abilities. Just one person could unleash combat power comparable to a top-tier legion!
Become a formidable foe on the battlefield!
As long as this woman doesn't die, she'll at least be among the top geniuses, and becoming a prodigy isn't impossible.
Once we get back, we'll put them on the kill list of human geniuses!
In the duel arena at dusk
"So it really won't work..."
Under the radiance, Lu Yu sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat regretful, for what appeared here was naturally the true form.
Because Luo Qingyue was chosen, a thought came to his mind: could he use her as a medium to summon the power of the Forbidden Key of Truth?
After all, she had once used her memories of time and space to make this forbidden object react, although Lu Yu chose the lowest level of truth contamination.
But the [Ancient Shadow] also descended, nearly destroying the world.
If possible, and if one can manipulate it independently, it would be equivalent to possessing a powerful move that could destroy the true king or even the main world.
Luo Qingyue will also upgrade from a novice to a novice who has mastered the switch to her own "nuclear weapon." Even if she doesn't succeed, she can still verify her uniqueness and see just how far she is capable.
After all, even Mother River couldn't replicate herself with the Eye of Truth; she could only create a figurine out of thin air to fight.
So what will appear if you, who have lived through history, are summoned?
If neither of those works...
Lu Yu could simply negotiate with Gui Shiqi to save the woman. After all, Luo Zisong had helped him a lot, and he always repaid kindness. In addition, this woman still owed him 50 million for her place in the heritage site, so he naturally had to protect his benefactor.
Luo Qingyue's first summons indeed failed to elicit the slightest response from the Key of Truth.
Lu Yu vaguely felt that this might not just be a matter of extracting the light of truth from the materials, but more like its initial manifestation...
That seems to be the right thing to do!
However, just as Lu Yu was about to speak up to save the person, he received a summons from Luo Qingyue, which actually worked, albeit with a slight delay.
This finally allowed Lu Yu to understand the principle of historical summoning.
Luo Qingyue summoned his historical projection, which is a spiritual trace of a person extracted from the long river of history, but Lu Yu, because he possessed the forbidden status, shared the uniqueness.
Therefore, only the time he was in is real, leaving no trace, and he has a built-in traceless buff. So the summoning power went to several hours ago first, and then came up empty-handed.
But the issue here is not simply that Lu Yu cannot be found. The gap created by Lu Yu has resulted in a missing section in the river of history, which is equivalent to an extra void that will cause problems over time.
So the river of history began to turn back and begin to repair itself. But in doing so, it naturally came into contact with the key to truth, which almost caused it to collapse and crash. The whole process made Lu Yu's scalp tingle.
I'm constantly worried that the main world might not be able to host a feast!
Fortunately, it is one of the supreme rules that spans countless ages and is endless, and it quickly formed a new operating mechanism.
Since Lu Yu is unique throughout history, causing a historical gap and potentially creating problems, and because of the issue of the Key of Truth, it's impossible to forcibly interfere, so why not just give in and let him decide for himself whether to accept the summons?
If you don't accept it, treat it as a bad debt and settle it directly. Whoever looks back on this history will be rejected by the river of history.
If accepted, then Lu Yu himself will enter this history through the Key of Truth. However, because he is in his true form, he will be guided into the present world by the rule-based object, the Wheel of History.
Moreover, the power summoned by Luo Qingyue does not violate the rules of the Sunset Duel Arena.
It's like going through an official process, which led to the current situation.
This also made Lu Yu realize what the prestige of forbidden truths is like; even if he made a mistake, the other party would apologize first and clean up his mess.
"It's a pity that they only gave me face because of the Key to Truth. If I could have a deeper grasp of it, I could completely make history return to the truth."
Lu Yu felt regretful, yet there was nothing he could do.
After all, the Key to Truth had given him the opportunity to bear the complete truth, but unfortunately, he was a greyhound and couldn't withstand it, so he was blown up directly to the Beast Taming Realm.
As Lu Yu was pondering, a loud, intense roar suddenly came from afar!
Boom boom boom
The footprints of light formed by the trampling of the heavens were gradually lifted, attracting Lu Yu's attention.
"Good...very good!"
Ghost Seventeen's eyes were bloodshot, and a vast black ghost aura rose up, rapidly repairing his body covered in wounds. Then, veins bulged on his face, body, and all his arms, and his blood energy surged and washed over him, transforming into a huge black ghost god phantom that held up a footprint of light like a divine mountain.
The Demon God Battle Technique - Pillar Supporting Heaven!
Ghost Seventeen became completely excited, his combat power continuously increasing. He grinned maliciously, "As expected of a top genius of the human race, even a projection is this strong. I'm completely excited now. Next, I'm going to get serious..."
"Noisy."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yu lost interest in listening further.
Rumble!
The power of the footprint of light condensed by the Heavenly Stomp increased dramatically, once again stomping Ghost Seventeen into the ground. Pure white radiance erupted, transforming into a pure pillar of light that swept across and crushed every inch of his body.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"
A mournful wail echoed through the Duel Arena as Oni-Seven felt the threat of death and made a decisive choice.
Click!
One of his arms fell off, and the highly concentrated ghostly energy within it exploded, briefly repelling the Sky-Stopping Demon for a moment with the terrifying shockwave.
However, taking this opportunity, he used all eleven arms and legs at the same time, like a crawling gecko, and quickly leaped a kilometer away.
Ghostly Battle Technique - Tiger's Tail Severing!
"So strong, but this is the kind of opponent I've been eyeing!"
Although Ghost Seventeen felt the pressure increase exponentially, he was not afraid. He grinned and became even more excited. Facing a powerful enemy was the most enjoyable thing in the world.
Chi Chi Chi!
So he allowed the ghostly energy to erode him, causing his size and aura to surge, while dense, eerie black patterns appeared on his body, making him look like a terrifying Asura who had fought his way out of hell!
Racial talent – Divine Blessing!
The bloodline bestowed by the gods and spirits contains immense power. Once in battle, it will continuously improve itself, but only if it can withstand the corruption of the gods and spirits. Otherwise, it will become their vessel, endlessly killing until death.
"roar!"
Ghost Seventeen entered a berserk state, his reason overwhelmed by the power of ghosts and gods. He quickly locked his target on Lu Yu in the distance, his eyes surging with a bloodlust.
Then, he stepped down.
boom!
The sound of an airburst shook the air, sweeping across an area of ten thousand meters, creating a brief vacuum environment, causing drastic changes in air pressure, and whipping up a storm.
"roar!"
Having lost his mind, Ghost Seventeen instantly traversed ten thousand meters and appeared in front of Lu Yu. His eleven arms swung, and his powerful force shattered the void in an instant.
"Demon God Battle Technique - Hand of Nirvana!"
"Demon God Battle Technique - Shattering Star Seal!"
"Demon God Battle Technique - The Floating Pagoda of Evil!"
"..."
Eleven ultimate combat techniques, condensed into a demonic battle method, converged together. Vast ghostly energy and blood energy intertwined, transforming into a hideous ghostly white skeletal phantom with six heads and twelve arms, opening its gaping maw of the abyss.
It reflects a corner of the other shore built by ghosts and gods!
Inside, countless broken corpses from various races piled up like mountains. These were the spiritual remnants left behind by the many Ghost Seventeens who had killed their opponents. They not only brought a terrifying sense of oppression but also possessed the power to disturb the mind.
From the age of five, Gui Shiqi began to constantly challenge powerful enemies to hone and improve his combat skills, eventually integrating them into his body and mental instincts.
He has mastered the pinnacle of martial arts skills!
In recent decades, he has even integrated eleven ghost and god battle techniques and comprehended...
The profound mystery of demons and gods—the tenfold other shore!
Once killed, one will enter the other side of the ghosts and gods condensed by his spiritual will, from which there is no escape for all eternity, becoming a medal symbolizing his achievements.
From the moment he made his move, he went all out, intending to use his strongest power to kill Lu Yu, the projection of this formidable enemy!
"roar!"
With a deafening roar, the instant Ghost Seventeen's ultimate technique landed, a radiant hand gripped his face. Before he could react, a detached voice rang out:
Have you ever been touched by light?
Before Ghost Seventeen could even think, the figure before him, captured by his crimson eyes, transformed into a dazzling light.
Shining upon the world!
Ghost Seventeen was forced to his head by extreme speed, landing face-first on the ground. He transformed into a pure white ray of light that streaked across the earth, instantly traversing thousands of meters. As the light dissipated, it coalesced back into Lu Yu's body.
Next second,
Rumble!
As Lu Yu passed through, beams of pure white light rose up, causing the earth to tremble and shatter violently, nearly tearing the ground of the Duel Arena apart.
However, under the illumination of the Holy Sun Gate, it was quickly repaired, but a path of endless firelight was still left behind, with traces of flesh and blood faintly visible!
"Uh-huh—"
Lu Yu casually tossed the dead dog-like Ghost Seventeen to the ground. The skin on the front of his body had been worn away, and the exposed white bones had been smoothed out. Only half of his head remained, revealing fragmented eyeballs. He looked like a dissected skeleton, which was extremely gruesome.
"Demon God Battle Technique - Hand of Nirvana!"
Even though he was severely injured, he did not fall down due to his burning fighting spirit. Instead, he instinctively attacked Lu Yu's weak points, and an invisible hand of air grasped down at Lu Yu.
That was a counterattack from the pinnacle of skill!
but……
"Technique is utterly insignificant in the face of power!"
Lu Yu's gaze was calm. If it were before Lu Yu's transformation in the Heavenly Realm, it might have taken some effort to deal with Ghost Seventeen.
But now, all I feel is the weakness and noise of my opponent!
hum!
An invisible toad's cry rang out from within Lu Yu's body, instantly shattering and expelling it. At the same time, a wind of indolence swept in, directly causing Ghost Seventeen's battle intent to become inert and fall silent for a moment.
The next second, he was suppressed by the sixty-eight-armed Heavenly Dragon Tree, and his remaining eleven arms were torn apart alive amidst his wails.
No one, not even a Tom, Dick, or Harry, is worthy of using the power of multiple arms like him!
If I have the chance next time, I'll tear that old bastard from the Secret Cult to shreds!
Whoosh whoosh!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu stretched out his finger and pointed into the air. Thousands of pure white beams of light descended from the sky and pierced through Ghost Seventeen's body.
The domineering pure white holy light forcibly annihilated the ghostly energy within him, extinguishing his last hope.
"I... lost..."
Ghost Seventeen lay on the ground, his reason returning. He felt his body, like a sieve, constantly losing its life force. Death had already embraced him.
At this moment, countless victories and the moments I had risen again and again flashed through my mind.
But being crushed like this was a first for him in his life!
I felt an extreme sense of oppression!
His glorious life became a stepping stone for this man to reach the pinnacle of a chaotic era!
"Cough cough..." Ghost Seventeen coughed up blood, his crimson eyes, on the verge of shattering, looked at Lu Yu and laughed loudly, "What a...wonderful...battle...I..."
"Very satisfied!"
For the twelve-armed demon race, born for battle, to die at the hands of such a powerful being is an honor!
Click!
The next second, Ghost Seventeen's head was pierced by the Great Sage Tree Spear, completely extinguishing his life force, while his body was thrown into the Void Treasure Chest and extracted as material.
After doing all this, Lu Yu looked at Luo Qingyue, who was standing motionless with her back to him.
At this moment, the cloth strip tying her ponytail at the back of her head had been torn by the scattered ghostly energy, and her black hair fell to her waist. Logically speaking, she should have ended her cosplay and returned to Luo Qingyue.
She's as calm and collected as "Luo Qianqiu," has this woman changed her personality?
Or did he finally grow up after experiencing this battle?
Luo Qingyue felt the gaze of "Lu Yu's projection," and the corners of her mouth slightly turned up as she chuckled:
"Boring history simply can't leave its mark on such an interesting soul as mine!"
Seeing that her attempt to be cool hadn't gotten a response, Luo Qingyue instantly lost her composure, her face falling as she said:
"You're way too late! I was so scared my legs went weak and I couldn't walk. Oh no, I'm going to fall! Quick..."
"Quick, help me up!"

PS: 6600 chapters, please vote with monthly tickets. Just a quick chat. Isn't this supposed to be the Myriad Races Arena? How can you say it's not advancing the plot? The protagonist is practically raking in the cash, collecting all sorts of materials, getting the paper knight evolution materials sorted out, and his strength has improved. He's also easily defeated most of the weaklings, only mentioning them briefly. Only the key ones are described in detail. Even in a wish-fulfillment story, the opponents need to be well-developed, otherwise what's the point of crushing them?
For example, Luo Qingyue's ancient scholar abilities rely on connections and relationships. Her opponents' abilities also need to be diverse and overpowered. The yellow-haired guy's crushing victory relies on a significant advantage or restraint, such as the Fool's Seat against Tuotian, etc., rather than mindless attacks, which would truly break the power balance.
Moreover, all of this content is foreshadowed. The Ten Thousand Races Arena Tournament is not the end; it is also related to the ruins and the chaotic era that follow. There's no need to repeat the introductions then. If this isn't foreshadowed, then the Black-feathered Bird's vacation will have arrived early, haha.
However, judging from the feedback, everyone really enjoys this storyline. It's been the best period of my following the series in the past few months. Thank you for your support, I'll keep working hard. I haven't been feeling well lately, so I'll just have to tough it out. As for the arena tournament, it's nearing its end, and next up is the Sun Ruins.
