Light Spring Murmur
Chapter 633: Cosmic Behemoth, Bu Lu
Indeed, these geniuses are stubbornly terrifying. But that makes sense, even passing the test of the cosmic overlord, it seems normal to think nothing can stump them.
"Forget it." Ling Wang said, "If you don't see Bu Lu, I guess you won't give up. In that case, I'll wake it up, and then you can communicate on your own."
"No problem." In the starry sky, Shi Yu smiled slightly. "Hope it doesn't die from exposure!"
Hearing others talk about it so glowingly isn't as important as seeing it myself, because Shi Yu also has very high standards for the appearance of his pets.
A moment later, Shi Yu followed Ling Wang, beginning to traverse the galaxy where the Land of Slumber was located.
Soon, they arrived outside a yellow planet.
"These resource planets all belong to the Land of Slumber. On a planet passed by chance, there could be a sleeping Era God from a previous age."
Ling Wang floated in the starry sky, with Shi Yu following behind.
"And this Diyuan Star is the Land of Slumber of Bu Lu, or rather, the key to its Land of Slumber."
"Bu Lu!" After saying that, Ling Wang shouted towards the planet.
In the next moment, soul fluctuations like sound waves rapidly transmitted, penetrating the entire star.
At first, there was no change, but soon, the entire starry sky began to tremble. A terrifyingly extreme power fluctuation began to permeate the universe. Countless meteorites vibrated wildly, and a small portion of them directly crumbled into fragments.
"As expected of the strongest Era God here, the power is good," Shi Yu said.
This aura of power was more than five times that of the Blood Origin Divine that he encountered before, definitely a monster close to the level of Su Su, Rin, and Eleven. If it were Xiao Ji or Ya Ya, they would probably be crushed by this guy.
"That's for sure." Ling Wang nodded. As the words fell, a black crack appeared in the starry sky. This crack continued to expand, and then, another composite colored star of similar size to Diyuan Star appeared.
The outer layer of the star was yellow, and the inside was pitch black. With a "bang", Diyuan Star seemed to explode, like its outer skin bursting open, also turning into a similar colored planet. No... to be precise, including Diyuan Star, these were not stars, but eyes. The eyes of the cosmic beast named Bu Lu.
First, two giant pupils manifested, opened, and then, from the torn cosmic cave, five hairy fingers, large enough to pinch Diyuan Star, slowly extended as if wanting to grab something.
It seemed to be in another world, grabbing this world.
"Roar!!" Accompanied by a cosmic thunder-like sound, space completely shattered, and Bu Lu, who had been sleeping in this starry cosmic cave, finally crawled out. Its body, large enough to hold a star in its palm, was finally revealed.
This was a creature similar to a giant ape or monkey, with dense reddish-brown hair all over its body, messy and unruly. Its long tail coiled in the starry sky, with such a strong sense of power that it seemed capable of shattering stars with a single sweep.
After Bu Lu appeared, the entire starry sky seemed to solidify, because it was simply too enormous. One must know that Diyuan Star, although not large, had a volume at least greater than the moon of the Blue Planet system. And this was only one of Bu Lu's eyes.
If they weren't far enough away, Shi Yu and the others wouldn't even be able to see the entire appearance of the cosmic beast Bu Lu.
"This size, no wonder it's a cosmic beast." Shi Yu stood on a shattered meteorite, looking at the giant beast in the starry sky ahead, and smiled slightly.
Not bad, overall the appearance is quite high, full of the brutal and domineering aura of a beast, very handsome. Fighting side by side, it will be awesome.
Although Eleven and Chong Chong can also be called giant beasts when they grow to their limits, they are still far behind compared to this one. For example, Eleven's final height is only about the length of one of its fingers, not even close to the same level.
Although sometimes, large creatures cannot necessarily defeat small creatures, generally speaking, the larger the creature, the stronger its combat power.
This rule applies in the natural world without transcendent creatures, and also in the harsh natural world of the starry sky.
"Eh, on its body..."
At this time, Shi Yu's beast source power converged on Shi Yu's eyes. Shi Yu activated the skill of "Time Flies," observing this giant beast, vaguely sensing an aura on it that was different from this era.
This aura was very similar to the aura of Shi Yu's beasts, as if this cosmic beast had also survived from the last era.
[Could this be the reason why this giant beast is rejected by this era?]
Shi Yu guessed in his heart. Although he didn't know how this giant beast had been contaminated with this "curse", it was indeed the same as Shi Yu's beasts and other Era Bodies. Of course, although Shi Yu's beasts had traces left over from the previous era, they were all dead objects, so they wouldn't be rejected by the Era Universe's will.
However, this cosmic beast was a living being. This variable seemed to be the key to its rejection.
"Bu Lu." Under Ling Wang's call, this behemoth looked over and said, "What's the matter?"
"Couldn't it be that the origin of the universe is about to condense again, and that's why you woke me up?"
"I've said, I'm not interested in these things anymore."
Shi Yu could clearly hear the tone of "I'm tired, let's destroy it!" in its words.
"It's not because of this matter, but someone wants to become your Beast Tamer. The person is here, I won't interfere with how you communicate." Ling Wang said.
"Hmm??" The cosmic beast Bu Lu looked at the small Shi Yu next to Ling Wang.
It didn't expect that someone would want to become its Beast Tamer again.
"Who are you?" It asked. Although it had no interactions and had been a loner for many years, it didn't mean it didn't know some of the human powerhouses in the Overlord Quadrant or even the entire universe. Shi Yu, it was really unfamiliar with.
"You can call me Shi Yu, the 'Shi' of ancient and modern times, and the 'Yu' of the four directions, the future seventh King of the Universe," Shi Yu said.
"In my experience, the more someone can act like an idiot, the more unlucky they are by my side, and the faster they die," the cosmic beast Bu Lu said.
"Indeed." Ling Wang nodded, it seemed that the more arrogant someone was, the faster they died by Bu Lu's side.
Acting like an idiot gets struck by lightning.
"Don't be so serious." Shi Yu smiled and said.
Now that he was also a big shot with a reputation throughout the starry sky, Shi Yu felt that he should be more arrogant.
This would help his pets condense an invincible will in the universe.
But others... don't seem to give me face.
"I don't want him, he doesn't look very smart." Bu Lu said.
"Ugh." Shi Yu didn't expect this lazy guy to have so many demands.
Next to him, Ling Wang said he wouldn't interfere, but still said, "He's very strong, he passed the Glory Challenge, and has met the Cosmic Overlord."
"Don't you want to try?"
After Ling Wang finished speaking, Bu Lu's eyes flickered, looking at Shi Yu, not daring to believe that Shi Yu had passed the Glory Challenge?
Among the many Era Gods in the Land of Slumber, which one hadn't gone through the Glory Challenge? Even it had undergone the challenge, but had failed.
But this human in front of it actually did it. Bu Lu didn't expect that such a monster would appear in the Cosmic Overlord's army during its slumber.
Compared to it, it felt that passing that Glory Challenge was even more monstrous.
"What, have you changed your mind?" Shi Yu said.
"Well, you might really be strong." The cosmic beast said, "But, I'm curious, why would a powerhouse like you choose me?"
"Because you're the most special one," Shi Yu said.
The cosmic beast's heart beat faster.
"I came too late, when I arrived at the Land of Slumber, you were the only one left here. The other Era Gods had all left, there was no choice," Shi Yu said.
Bu Lu: ??????
So that's what makes me special???
"That's right." Ling Wang said.
Bu Lu's blood pressure immediately rose. So that's the reason?
"However, after hearing about your deeds from Senior Ling Wang, I was indeed very surprised," Shi Yu said, "It's already unlucky enough, but you've managed to live this long. It sounds very difficult."
"None of your business," Bu Lu said with a pout.
"Don't mind, I don't mean to discriminate," Shi Yu laughed, "I just admire you, you've actually managed to overcome so many disasters. How about this, if you complete my test, I'll contract you as a pet, what do you think?"
"Don't joke around," Bu Lu said, "Even if you've passed the Glory Challenge, you might not be qualified to contract me."
"Even if you want to contract with me, I should be the one giving you a test."
"In that case, let's test each other," Shi Yu said with his arms crossed, looking nonchalant.
"Then let me see your strength first," Bu Lu said.
"If you want to fight, don't do it here," Ling Wang said, "Please move to another starfield."
"Alright," Bu Lu said, "Leave it to me."
After speaking, its body rapidly shrunk. Although the cosmic beast race eats planets, they also live on them. In order to live on some planets, this race naturally evolved the ability to control their body size at will.
Basically, it's mainly shrinking. Their normal state is already huge enough. To want to grow even larger would be much more difficult than shrinking, and the consumption would be enormous.
Soon, this giant beast that could pluck stars with its hands shrunk to a normal height of a few hundred meters. Then, it flicked its tail, creating a pitch-black hole in the starry sky.
Cosmic hole!!
Moreover, it was a transcendent cosmic hole. The ability was much higher than that of the Abyss Worm. Shi Yu could sense that behind this cosmic hole was a connection to an extremely distant starfield. Even if Rin wanted to navigate there, it would take a long time. But it only created a cosmic hole and connected two places. Shi Yu really coveted this ability.
You know, the cosmic hole he copied still has no teaching object. If he could contract this guy, it seems, maybe, even if he contracted this guy, it would be a waste to copy it. The other party's cosmic hole level seems to have already been maxed out, and there's no way to continue adding points.
Unless, above transcendent divine skills, there is a higher level that can be unlocked in the future... But at least for now, Shi Yu hasn't unlocked the level of divine skills that is close to the Dao.
For skills below the divine level, being close to the Dao means being close to the rules. Divine skills represent the rules. But for divine skills, what does it mean to approach when they are cultivated to the extreme?
The origin of the universe?
While Shi Yu was thinking, the cosmic beast Bu Lu had already taken a step ahead and entered the cosmic hole.
"In that case, I'll go with it. Senior Ling Wang, would you like to come along?" Shi Yu looked at this loli ghost, not understanding why an old monster who had lived so long was maintaining a little girl's form.
"Sure, it's good to take a look," Ling Wang said.
"Then let's go together." After speaking, Shi Yu and the other party stepped into the cosmic hole together.
In the next moment, the two of them entered an extremely distant range of the starfield from the Land of Slumber. However, as soon as they arrived here, they heard Bu Lu's helpless voice.
"Eh!!" Bu Lu said, "A bit of bad luck. The place we appeared in seems to be a bit unfavorable. We were immediately surrounded by a starry sky storm."
"Haha." It was quite optimistic.
As Bu Lu spoke, faint storm ripples like sea waves had already formed around here. Under the chaotic starry sky fluctuations, even the cosmic hole began to become unstable.
"But it's okay." Bu Lu saw that Ling Wang had also come, knowing that even if they encountered a starry sky storm, it wouldn't be a problem. A high-level transcendent divine could easily resolve a small-scale starry sky storm.
Its bad luck wouldn't affect a high-level transcendent divine.
"Your luck is really something." Shi Yu looked at the surrounding situation and couldn't help but touch his forehead. So, what ruins did Bu Lu's mother enter to get contaminated with the traces of the previous era?
Moreover, it was actually inherited by the next generation.
To be honest, Shi Yu felt very fortunate that he could successfully travel here without being cursed by the will of the universe. If he were like this Bu Lu, he couldn't guarantee that he could still be alive now.
"The storm is not small." Ling Wang was also speechless.
"Wait a moment." Bu Lu said, "Can you let him resolve it?"
Bu Lu looked at Shi Yu and said, "Even if this level of storm forms, I can escape, but can you?"
"I don't want a partner who's a burden," it said.
"But, logically speaking, aren't you the one who's causing the storm?" Shi Yu asked back.
Bu Lu: ???
Shi Yu smiled. This big silly's intention was probably to prevent the disasters it attracted from hurting others, so it wanted to first identify whether others had the strength to resist disasters.
"To be honest, the curse on you is indeed quite serious."
"One-tenth of my life has been spent traveling in the starry sky. During that time, not to mention this scale of cosmic disasters, I haven't even encountered a small cosmic disaster. I'm someone favored by the goddess of luck."
"You were actually able to make me encounter a starry sky storm. You're indeed something."
"Heh, the goddess of luck... If you're someone favored by the goddess of luck, then I'm someone cursed by the goddess of disaster."
Bu Lu looked at the gradually forming starry sky storm, its eyes sinking.
"Then do you think the goddess of luck is stronger, or the goddess of disaster?" Shi Yu asked.
"It should be the goddess of disaster, right?" So many years of disasters had gradually made Bu Lu used to it.
"No, actually the goddess of luck is stronger," Shi Yu said.
"It seems that my luck is above your curse. If we had encountered other cosmic disasters, it might mean that we weren't suitable. But right now, the appearance of the starry sky storm has made me certain that your curse might not affect me."
After Shi Yu finished speaking, under the gaze of Ling Wang and Bu Lu, a white mechanical glove appeared on his right hand. The glove was inlaid with five wind spirit beads of different colors. In the next moment, Shi Yu's palm was aimed at the starry sky storm in front.
Then, an extremely shocking scene appeared. The sea of storms from all directions of the starry sky suddenly shook, as if encountering the master of the storm, rapidly condensing into a huge wind ball, forming a storm planet completely composed of compressed starry sky storms, floating above Shi Yu and the others, held high by Shi Yu's arm.
At this moment, Bu Lu looked at all of this in shock, feeling extremely unbelievable. The starry sky storm that was enough to severely injure a low-level transcendent divine was actually controlled like this??
If this compressed storm was smashed down, it felt that it could completely destroy a star, a small galaxy.
"Not much." After controlling the starry sky storm, Shi Yu snapped his fingers. Accompanied by a "whoosh, whoosh" sound, the huge starry sky storm ball was rapidly erased, like crazy dissipation. The power that had been so violent and swept through the starry sky just now seemed to be reduced to nothingness, as if it had never appeared.
A moment later, the starry sky storm completely disappeared, and Shi Yu's mechanical glove also began to dissipate. "Alright, let's continue to find a suitable battle location."
"You..." Bu Lu looked at Shi Yu and was slightly silent.
Next to it, Ling Wang couldn't help but smile, saying, "As expected of someone who passed the Glory Challenge, you're indeed very strong."
"Yes, there's no need to fight. I've already recognized your strength." Bu Lu said, "Whether or not we fight is not so important... Among those of the same level, you're the first person to turn my curse into a controllable ability..."
"No fight??" Shi Yu said.
"No fight. My standard for partners is only that the other party has the strength to deal with the disasters I bring. You have undoubtedly done that." Bu Lu said.
"Of course, one time might not be enough. We still have to test it a few more times. This time might just be a coincidence."
"Ugh, let's fight it out then," Shi Yu said.
"No fight."
Shi Yu: ?
"Wait, big guy, you wouldn't be suddenly scared, would you?" Shi Yu suspected.
Seeing Rin resolve the starry sky storm so easily, it realized the difference in strength?
"I wouldn't be scared!" The cosmic beast showed an angry expression.
In the next moment, a "glug, glug" sound came from its stomach, resounding through the starry sky.
Next to it, Ling Wang said, "I forgot to tell you before, Bu Lu is a mutated cosmic beast, and it has great difficulty eating. After reaching the Era God level, the planetary rules that other cosmic beasts eat can no longer meet its nutritional needs. It's not very much to its taste."
"And it's not capable of provoking high-level planets."
"So, it hasn't had a full meal in a long time. It's usually fine when it's sleeping, but when it's active with a cosmic beast's body, the feeling of hunger should come back immediately."
"It doesn't want to fight. It should be because it's gradually feeling hungry." Ling Wang said.
"Damn." Bu Lu was angry. Even if it shrunk, it still felt very hungry.
It knew it shouldn't have opened the cosmic hole so far.
Shi Yu:
"How pitiful, it's already unlucky, but it can't even fill its stomach." Shi Yu shook his head.
"So what do you eat when you're active?"
"Within the army, a transcendent divine expert who is proficient in nutrition has specially researched a suitable food for Bu Lu. However, it is too difficult to manufacture and the price is also very expensive. So even Bu Lu can't eat it often. The best choice is to use sleep to numb yourself."
"So, I guess, one of Bu Lu's tests should also be whether you can afford to feed it."
"So hungry..." At this time, the more Ling Wang said, the hungrier Bu Lu felt.
"Yes, it must include food." [Eleven felt very happy.] If it can't eat, not to mention fighting, it's even a little lazy to move right now.
It just wants to sleep now.
As they spoke, the body of the cosmic beast Bu Lu shrank smaller and smaller, and soon, it shrank into a one-meter-high little monkey. It was really unscrupulous in order to save energy.
For cosmic beasts, maintaining a huge body is the most comfortable state. Although it's a bit energy-consuming, the state of being able to exert their power to the extreme makes them feel very at ease. Right now, Bu Lu's behavior is nothing less than abandoning the pride of cosmic beasts and bowing to life.
Small, for cosmic beasts, is a shame. Big is glory. It obviously gave up the glory of the race and just wanted to lie down peacefully.
"Didn't you bring food?" Shi Yu asked.
"I had a backup before I went to sleep, but when I just looked, the space equipment was worn out, and all the food was lost due to the space-time cracks." Bu Lu said resentfully.
Food, its food.
It would rather be unlucky and encounter a starry sky storm than be unlucky and accidentally lose its emergency food.
"There's really no way." Shi Yu scratched his head and took out a cultivation fruit, throwing it to Bu Lu, saying, "Try this thing, can it fill your stomach."
"There's more or less some nutrition. Since ordinary food doesn't suit your taste, try something extraordinary."
"What is this?"
After receiving the cultivation fruit thrown over by Shi Yu, Bu Lu felt its extremely high quality. The quality seemed to be not far from the food that the transcendent divine expert had tailored for it.
After getting the fruit, Bu Lu ate it directly without thinking, and wasn't afraid that it was poisonous or anything.
With so many years of experience, it had come into contact with countless poisonous substances, and its body was already immune to all poisons. It had antibodies, and even the poison from the Dark King's forces couldn't contaminate it.
However, after the little monkey ate the cultivation fruit in one bite, its eyes instantly changed, suddenly becoming a little dazed and confused.
Instantly, its face turned green and white, and it choked and gagged. However, it didn't last for two seconds before it was directly knocked unconscious by the stench, and fell asleep on the side.
Ling Wang: ????
"You, what did you give it to eat!!"
Shi Yu touched his chin and said, "It's not used to eating ordinary food, and extraordinary food doesn't work either? So picky."
Also, Ginseng Baby is not an Era God yet! How could a single fruit kill it?
Is this cosmic beast really reliable?
Of course, it's also possible that it's related to the guy's current state. It should have been really hungry before.
"Here, Senior Ling Wang, would you like one?" Shi Yu took two cultivation fruits, handed one to Ling Wang, and took a "crunch" bite himself. Although his face turned green and white, he seemed to be used to the taste.
