Chapter 375 - 138: Furious Surge

Atop a towering mountain ridge, a figure stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at a valley in the distance.

’The Demon Lizard Race... We’re fated to meet, it seems. To run into them on my first outing.’

Chen Yu stared at the few figures in the valley.

The figures of the Demon Lizard Race.

Two at Level 8, and one at the early stage of Level 9.

’Perfect. I’ll test out my Level 2 Divine Dragon Power on them.’

With a flicker, Chen Yu’s figure vanished in the blink of an eye.

The next instant, he reappeared in the sky above the valley.

"A member of the Human Race!"

The three members of the Demon Lizard Race looked up, and upon seeing the figure, undisguised killing intent filled their faces.

"Get rid of him,"

the Level 9 Demon Lizard ordered. The two peak Level 8 Demon Lizards shot forward, rushing toward Chen Yu.

HUMMM!!!

However, the moment they drew near, an invisible power enveloped and suppressed the two Demon Lizards.

"What?!"

Feeling the immense strength of the invisible power, the pupils of the two Demon Lizards shrank.

But before they could even react, Chen Yu made his move.

SPLURT—!

A flash of a blade, and the two Demon Lizards’ heads flew into the air. They were killed on the spot.

VWOOM—!

Spreading his five fingers, Chen Yu instantly stripped the two Demon Lizards of their Life Force, swallowing it in one gulp and refining it in a flash.

It all happened in a split second. In the valley below, the Level 9 Demon Lizard hadn’t even processed what had occurred.

ROAR—!!

A roar thundered through the valley. A dense light flared as a dazzling, destructive ball of light formed and shot toward Chen Yu at extreme speed.

"Is that all?"

A voice sounded right beside its ear, startling the Level 9 Demon Lizard.

The destructive ball of light it had unleashed was directly suppressed by the Life Force Field.

Chen Yu simply clenched his fist, and the destructive ball of light was annihilated on the spot, dissipating into nothing.

It vanished before its ripples of power could even spread.

’How is this possible!’

The Level 9 Demon Lizard’s pupils contracted, its heart filled with terror.

However, just as it began to react, the heaven-shaking cry of a dragon rang out.

Sacred light shone as a golden divine dragon roared and charged forward.

Sensing mortal danger, the Demon Lizard instantly activated its true form, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall behemoth. Its dark gold scales shimmered as a dark gold barrier of light appeared around its body.

BOOM—!!!

A tremendous explosion rocked the valley. Destructive shockwaves blasted outward, cracking the earth and nearly obliterating the entire valley.

As the dust settled, the body of the Level 9 Demon Lizard lay on the ground, its eyes filled with intense unwillingness to accept its fate.

The presence of its life faded away.

A Level 9 Demon Lizard, obliterated in a single strike!

WHOOSH.

Chen Yu’s figure flickered and appeared before the fallen Demon Lizard.

’The power of the Level 2 Divine Dragon Power hasn’t disappointed me.’

It pierced the body and shattered the will.

There was practically no suspense.

Gaining over a billion Source of Life in one go, Chen Yu was in high spirits.

He stripped its Life Force, and a radiant Life Light Group appeared in his hand.

He swallowed it in one gulp and rapidly absorbed it.

His own Life Force soared, instantly replenishing what he had just consumed.

’Satisfying.’

Letting out a breath, Chen Yu glanced at the rankings on his wristband.

’Those two... how are they so fast?!’

Looking at the rankings, Chen Yu’s gaze sharpened.

He had gained 120,000 points for killing one Level 9 and two peak Level 8s.

And yet, 120,000 points only put him in third place.

First place: Nangong Ba.

He already had 580,000 points.

Second place: Jiang Can.

480,000 points.

They were in a completely different league.

’Are those two using cheats or something?’

Chen Yu’s eyelid twitched as he looked at the rankings.

It had just begun, not even an hour had passed, and they had already racked up hundreds of thousands of points.

Even he found such a freakish rate of growth unbelievable.

’I can’t fall too far behind...’

Chen Yu let out a breath, the small bit of pride in his heart vanishing without a trace.

There’s always someone stronger, always a higher heaven!

’The progress those two have made is just insane!’

However, it also ignited Chen Yu’s fighting spirit.

Unleashing God-Speed, Chen Yu’s figure immediately disappeared.

Scanning with his Life Force Field, tracking the fluctuations of the Alien Race—this was a familiar routine for Chen Yu.

He could easily distinguish between the Life Fluctuations of the Human Race and the Alien Races.

—

「One day passed.」

Night fell, and the sky was illuminated by starlight.

Atop a cliff, Chen Yu sat cross-legged, unmoving.

A spiritual halo appeared around him.

WHOOSH—!

Having refined the Life Light Group within his body, Chen Yu let out a light breath.

He had gained a great deal in one day.

He had already harvested ten billion Source of Life.

He also personally experienced what it meant to be in the meat grinder of the Ten Thousand Races.

’At this rate, in just a few days, I might have enough Source of Life to complete my physical Evolution.’

Fifty billion. He previously thought it would take some time, but now, if his luck was good enough to run into a large number of masters from the Alien Races, he could even achieve it in a single day.

With this rate of growth and improvement, it wouldn’t be a major issue to upgrade all his Skills within half a year.

’Those two... don’t tell me they raided an Alien Race’s nest? How are they improving so fast!’

Looking at the wristband’s rankings, Chen Yu was still in third place.

He had just over one million points.

The person in fourth place only had a little over 500,000, about half his score.

But Nangong Ba’s and Jiang Can’s points had far surpassed his.

Nangong Ba’s score had already reached over 2.9 million, approaching three million points.

Jiang Can, in second place, also had just over two million points.

A gap of a million points.

He thought his luck today had been pretty good, but compared to those two, it seemed he was still lacking.

He suspected the progress of these two guys was due to cheating.

They were crushing everyone else by a landslide.
