Chapter 428 The Tree of the Other Shore! The River of Time Descends! Summoning the Future Self!
Chapter 428 The Tree of the Other Shore! The River of Time Descends! Summoning the Future Self!
A pure white light of evolution enveloped the mouse, unleashing a vast pressure that swept in all directions!
Billions of rays of light converged, illuminating the entire Three-Phase World.
It reflects a wise, luminous, and sacred figure.
Even when looking directly at it, one can feel the spirit within the body rejoicing, as if wisdom is gradually being born.
"Spirit Erosion Evolution? You actually have other ideas?"
Seeing this, the third finger also snapped out of its frenzy and looked on in shock.
The Outlier originates from the greatest miraculous life form nurtured by the Mother River—the Outlier.
Only by killing them can we plunder the blessings of the Mother River!
Although Abnormalities possess near-limitless potential, they will encounter various dangers on their path to growth, which is part of the rules of balance.
The more you have, the more you have to give!
However, due to their rarity and their powerful, bizarre abilities, even these Gods, who have traversed countless ages, have never seen many of these anomalies.
Most of them have reached a terrifying level of strength.
It's good enough if they're not being chased by the other side, but they also want to plunder the aliens?
Even within the Faceless Brotherhood, there has been suspicion that some deities may have evolved from alien entities.
After all, an anomaly is akin to a low-level form of authority.
It's just that we lack the capability to verify it.
Lu Yu has only been a Beast Tamer for a little over two years, yet he already possesses three fantastical items: the Dream Bubble, the Corpse Mountain Mask, and now the Mysterious Tree, all of which are compatible with his pet beasts.
Isn't the Supreme Mother River being a little too kind to this kid?
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was their own son!
"But... the more outstanding they are, the more I like them!" The third fingers laughed loudly, their long, bony fingers forming a spell seal, unleashing a vast burst of spiritual energy.
"The Art of Peeling Off the Face—Heavenly Manifestation: The Face of the Wind God!"
Whoohoo!
In the Three Realms, the airflow accelerated, whipping up a terrifying storm that condensed into a mask wrapped around an ancient wind serpent, surrounded by a nearly materialized hurricane, as if it originated from the god of evil winds at the beginning of the world.
"The Art of Peeling Off the Face—The Face of the Heavenly Rain Master!"
The Rain Master's mask coalesced once more, ancient dragons and snakes dwelling within it, surrounded by the celestial river waters that had sunk the earth and drowned all things.
When the two come together, the rain, aided by the wind, and the wind, following the rain, transforms the already destructive white rain into a terrifying natural disaster.
The wind and rain swept towards the rats.
Wherever it passed, the void melted away!
Ultimate Combination Technique - Heavenly Wind and Dark Rain!
"Hehe, the surprise you prepared for me is nice, but... all I want today is you, nothing else!!"
The third fingers let out a low laugh, preparing to forcefully interrupt the mouse's evolution.
Reality is not a game.
We won't give our opponents any chance!
"Secret Technique - Sacred Dragon Tree Spear!"
boom!
Just as it was about to hit the mouse, the phantom of the sixty-eight-armed sacred dragon tree appeared, intertwining into a giant tree spear that pierced through the air. It collided with the attack of the third finger, and after only a moment, it disintegrated, turning into countless particles of light.
However, a huge footprint fell from it, trampling everything.
Celestial Mystery - Trampling the Heavens!
"Truly a top-tier prodigy who has swept across all races!" the third finger exclaimed in admiration.
The profound mysteries lie within profound mysteries, requiring not only immense spiritual energy but also an extreme level of proficiency in the skills.
Even ultimate skills of the same attribute can conflict due to different structures, resulting in weakened power or even direct explosion.
They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!
If this had fallen into the hands of a powerful figure, it wouldn't have surprised her so much, but Lu Yu was only twenty years old...
Even the blessings of one's ancestors cannot explain this terrifying level of comprehension, as if one were born with knowledge!
As expected, he did not gain glory because of the royal bloodline, but the bloodline of the Heavenly Day shines because of him!
Thoughts flashed for only a moment. The Heavenly Trample was powerful and overwhelming, but it was still swept away by [Heavenly Wind and Dark Rain] at the cost of losing one-third of its power.
"Your opponent is us!"
Lu Yu wanted to make another move, but he saw projections of the third finger appearing in the white rain, surrounding and attacking him and the paper knight.
Their attacks were swift and fierce, leaving him and the Paper Knight with no choice but to defend!
After all, without equipping the Egg as a living weapon, Lu Yu Huiyue's maximum combat power alone is not enough to overcome so many levels and directly confront a high-level giant.
However, he was not disappointed, since he had gained enough time.
Next, it's up to the hamster...
Although he usually messes things up, he's capable in crucial moments.
It will never let itself down!
boom!
Countless wind scythes and rain of annihilation forcefully crushed everything in their path, sweeping away and getting within arm's reach of the rat.
At the moment of impact,
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A mysterious knocking sound came from the world, freezing the essence of wind and rain in the air, as if time had been paused at that moment.
The knocking continued, and a grand sacrificial ceremony began, from which came the sounds of countless people chanting scriptures, seemingly praising an ancient and mysterious being.
Strangely, despite the loud and clear voice and clear pronunciation, the content was incomprehensible.
However, under the influence of this mysterious voice, one can feel one's mind becoming clearer and one's thinking speed greatly improved.
You can feel that the name is becoming clearer and clearer.
I heard it almost...
almost……
That is... praise...
Boundless wisdom, World Honored One of all kalpas!
The instant the name was heard, a beam of light pierced the void and struck the [Heavenly Wind and Dark Rain] ultimate technique.
Click click click!
The moment the two made contact, this terrifying, all-encompassing offensive began to wither and shatter at a visible speed, returning from the material realm to the spiritual realm, and then entering a state of silence.
Vanished instantly!
"What!?" The third finger, which was about to continue its attack, froze upon seeing this, and a red light flashed beneath its mask.
"All conditioned things are impermanent, all phenomena are without self, Nirvana is peace, all Tathagatas."
With a whisper, the immense radiance that had been gathered dissipated, revealing the mouse's new form.
The original mouse stood on a cloud of souls, its body wrapped in a thousand-faced touch like a blood-red ribbon, and a miniature version of the thousand-faced soul tree floated behind its head. It looked dark and mysterious, a perfect villain template.
However, at this moment, the originally eerie and dark Thousand-Faced Soul Tree has now merged with the golden [Thoshe Wisdom Tree] and is growing behind him, presenting a scene of half a radiant Buddhist realm and half a dark underworld.
It did not grow in the material world, but rather...
Planted in the prayers of all beings!
Hanging in the lush canopy of the tree are countless hamsters, some sitting cross-legged, some lying on their side, some with their eyes closed, some chanting sutras... a thousand hamsters, a thousand different appearances, displaying different postures.
Beneath the Thousand Buddha Rat Tree, the Rat's body swelled several times its original size. Its originally yellowish fur turned pale gold, adorned with countless rays of light. It had a fleshy protuberance on its head, and its eyes reflected the image of a thousand-spoked wheel. It held a sword of great wisdom, and deep within its dark pupils, the swastika, one of the thirty-two marks of a Buddha, appeared.
A halo of light appeared behind my head, illuminating everything!
The white rain that originally eroded everything began to melt away the moment it approached, turning into a gentle drizzle that dripped onto the body.
The anxiety and panic in the mouse's eyes vanished, replaced by calmness and serenity. Eight rosary beads, condensed from light, hung around its neck and slowly rotated.
It was as if the ancient Buddha had sat cross-legged on a cloud, preaching the Dharma to all beings.
Despite little change in appearance, the mouse now exudes a dignified and solemn aura!
"I'm actually impressed by this lecherous rat's handsomeness!" Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
When a mouse gets serious, it's absolutely awesome.
If it were a normal hamster, it would probably be showing off by now, but at this moment, it understood many things.
Egg's cunning... Red Hare's perverse sense of humor... The Paper Knight's unspoken words... The schemes of the capitalist rats...
Under the ever-expanding wisdom, everything appears exceptionally clear; no clue can escape its eyes.
The mouse that thinks it's clever is actually the dumbest one.
"But sometimes, it's not so bad to be a fool!"
Its mind raced, a slight smile playing on its lips. It sealed away these insignificant memories, then looked up at the third finger and slowly spoke:
"Having seen the World-Honored One, why not bow in reverence?"
The moment their eyes met, all the third fingers felt a chill run down their spines, as if everything about them had been seen through.
"An aberrant being of the intelligent type? But no matter how cunning you are, you will be crushed by absolute power!"
Without hesitation, the numerous projections of the third finger formed a spell seal, preparing to resummon the Heavenly Mask.
As the Rain Master and Wind God masks materialized, the mouse said calmly:
"The ability to create effects through cause and effect, and to condense powerful entities from other paths of rules into masks, is truly interesting, but unfortunately..."
"The rat of today is not the rat of yesterday!"
As he spoke, the divine tree behind him shone and spread its branches, which intertwined to form a golden wooden fish.
A gold-plated version of the Soul Wooden Fish!
then……
The Great Wisdom Sword in the mouse's hand landed on it, emitting a distant and ancient sound, rippling outwards and sweeping across the entire Three-Phase World.
"Soul blasts have no effect on me!"
Seeing this, the Third Finger remained indifferent, not taking it to heart. Just as it was about to make a move by manipulating the Heavenly Mask, the ripples spread out and touched their bodies.
hum!
Originally preparing to activate the causal transfer, the moment they came into contact with the ripples, all the third fingers' bodies froze in place, and red light flashed beneath the "Ж" mask, causing their bodies to tremble.
Their souls were indeed unaffected, because what trembled was...
The invisible and intangible causal thread that connects them!
Even the third finger cannot understand.
Why...
Why is it that strange, weak pet beast is able to influence the power of cause and effect?
"Nothing in this world is accidental; there is only inevitability under the trajectory of the Way of Heaven. Cause and effect cycle endlessly."
The mouse calmly said that the spiritual erosion state of the [Tree of Wisdom] can raise the proficiency of all its non-[Transcendent] skills by one level.
Although it is temporary, once it is elevated to the pinnacle, corresponding special effects will be created!
The Soul Wooden Fish is exactly at 90% of the perfect level. After being upgraded to the pinnacle, the special effect it produces is—Tracing the Source!
It can trace the source of all locked targets!
Every cause has an effect; once the initial cause is found, the problem can be solved!
You can differentiate into countless forms, and I can also form meme pollution, the root of pollution!
Boom!
Before the third finger could react, the mouse struck the wooden fish again!
Bang bang bang!
A large number of third fingers exploded instantly, turning into clouds of white mist that cleared a large area of open space in an instant!
Furthermore, the dense network of cause and effect began to sway more and more violently, eventually becoming unbearable.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just as the mouse was about to continue striking the wooden fish, a third finger appeared behind it, and wax hands reached out to grab at its back.
However, before the attack could get close, the third finger heard the sound of a mouse:
"A clumsy plot... hmm, just like you!"
A sword light that seemed to dominate the world suddenly slashed down!
"The Great Wisdom World-Honored One Sword!"
With a click,
The third finger was severed in half, along with an invisible thread of cause and effect.
Chi Chi Chi!
Her body was instantly ignited and turned to ashes!
Before it completely dissipated, I heard the mouse's indifferent voice:
"If you were truly wise, you would bow before me; unfortunately... you are utterly foolish!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The next second, numerous third finger figures appeared around it, and a large number of face-peeling spell seals condensed.
"The Art of Peeling Back the Face—Facial Recognition and the Transfer of Cause and Effect!"
"The Art of Peeling Faces - Earthly Formation: Wuzhong Wax Mountain!"
"The Face-Stripping Technique - Heavenly Appearance: Thunder God Face!"
"..."
Numerous face-peeling techniques coalesced, carrying powerful killing moves, and swarmed towards the rat.
In response, the mouse simply stretched out its chubby paw, pinched the magic seal, and whispered:
"My Heart Remains Unmoved!" As he spoke, the light beads on his body spun, condensing into an immovable figure that enveloped the rat.
boom!
Dozens of powerful skills struck it, instantly unleashing a terrifying roar and stirring up a vast cloud of dust. However, the dust was dispersed by the gale whipped up by the Wind God Mask in the next second, revealing its appearance.
Countless cracks appeared on the Immovable One's figure around the mouse, but it did not break, forcefully blocking the attack!
However, just as they were about to continue their attack, the mouse shook its head and said calmly:
"The Great Bright and Powerful Wheel!"
On the Thousand-Faced Tree of Tuoshe behind him, countless beams of light burst forth, and roots spread out, carrying a sacred and solemn power, suddenly piercing through, like a meteor shower falling to the earth!
"The Great Illumination of the Sword of Wisdom!"
In an instant, it pierced through a large number of third finger projections, turning them into sieves. The next second, it was slashed by the Great Wisdom Sword and turned into countless ashes.
The rat emerged from auspicious clouds, wielding the Great Wisdom Sword, its gaze sharp and furious, directly chasing and slashing at these third-finger projections.
With a fierce and imposing presence, the timid hamster is nowhere to be seen!
"wrong!!"
The remaining third-finger causal projections, upon witnessing this scene, were about to consider countermeasures when they suddenly froze in place.
Because of her... or rather, their brains suddenly slowed down, as if a portion of their intelligence had been forcibly removed.
"You've been found out so quickly, huh? But it's alright, becoming a fool is fine too. I, Mouse, will allow you to reach the other side of paradise!"
The mouse offered a few gentle words of comfort, then raised the Great Wisdom Sword... oh no, the Great Intelligence Sword.
With the blessing of absolute wisdom, it was developed to the pinnacle of proficiency, and a special effect was born—purification.
It can disregard concepts such as clones, projections, and incarnations, and deduct the lost state of intelligence after plundering from the other party.
With countless incarnations, by killing these incarnations, a portion of wisdom is forcibly deducted, accumulated at the source, and then, through cause, countless effects spread.
In short, the more projections you kill, the more intelligence the opponent loses, eventually turning them into a complete idiot.
Originally, the mouse wanted to kill hundreds of projections and then kill the third finger, which had become "mentally challenged"!
Unexpectedly, she discovered the problem ahead of time, so... we can only move up the follow-up plans!
"Thank you all for your help!" Mouse whispered.
"Yes, Your Holiness!!"
The mouse whispered softly, and from the Thousand-Faced Tree behind it, one by one, the mouse clones descended from the tree.
Relying on the enhanced number of clones under the Spirit Erosion state, the number of rat clones has reached one thousand.
They descended together, raising miniature versions of the Great Wisdom Sword, and swept forth towards the countless third fingers!
"The Immovable One Seal!"
"Void Treasury Seal!"
"The Medicine Master's Lapis Lazuli Seal!"
"..."
The numerous rat clones showed no mercy, immediately unleashing their ultimate moves to begin a reverse encirclement and annihilation of the projection of the third finger.
Because of its ability to sever the threads of cause and effect, the third finger's projection combat style has become restricted.
However, given the significant difference in their ranks, they quickly adapted to the rat clones' offensive rhythm and attempted to counterattack and kill them.
hum!
However, the moment the thought arose, she heard a strange melody playing, which distorted the world in her eyes, clouded her reason, and caused her spirit to run rampant, showing a tendency to become distorted.
"What's going on!?"
Fortunately, he was able to barely suppress it thanks to the blessing of the Faceless God, but his brain became even more rigid, and he could only defend himself passively through his body's instincts.
This resulted in them being constantly repelled and even killed one after another!
As for the culprit behind all this, it was Lu Yu in the distance, who was already sitting on the seat of the fool, surrounded by a large number of foolish musicians.
He was taking drugs while simultaneously playing music.
The Sword of Great Wisdom + The Music of Subduing Ignorance = The Great Art of Subduing Ignorance!
Anyone who takes this combo will have their IQ halved on the spot and get a beating!
Even the Paper Knight was shocked to see the mouse in such a state.
This lazy hamster gets serious...
Is it really that strong?
If it's in this state, it would indeed rank among the top three in the entire team.
Click click click!
Under these layers of negative buffs, the numerous projections of the third finger naturally suffered repeated defeats, and one projection after another was shattered.
However, the cost was that a large number of rat clones also perished!
"...You actually...stole...the power of the Faceless God...and...the seven...Great...Imperial Trees...the ghosts...who died in your place...You are...the Gate..."
The remaining dozens of third-finger projections, watching the rat clones closing in step by step, were slow to think and spoke in broken sentences.
Although their intelligence is constantly being reduced, their third finger still has terrifyingly high resistance and can still discover the special characteristics of the mouse.
This ability to change in countless ways and create countless clones cannot exist in any other form, because it involves... something else, I can't remember now, it can only come from the Faceless God.
The existence of the Ghostly Emperor Tree indicates that Lu Yu is... the one who...
Wisdom was reduced to its extreme, and the threads of cause and effect continued to crumble, rendering the third finger incapable of thought.
But even more so...
Pleasant!
"Confusion... Chaos... Ignorance... Disorder... This is... the formless and selfless state we've been pursuing..."
The numerous projections of the third finger laughed maniacally, their voices eerie yet tinged with madness.
"Sisters, kill her!"
The remaining rat clones continued their aggressive attack, preparing to completely sever all causal connections of the third finger and trace back to the source to kill it.
boom!
A vast surge of spiritual energy swept out, instantly blasting all the rat clones away, sending them rolling on the ground.
"What's going on!?"
The rat clones looked up in shock and saw all the projections of the third finger begin to melt like burning candles amidst the laughter. But this time, it was no longer white wax, but endless black oil, with the character "three" constantly emerging from it.
They began to gather together...
All effects stem from causes!
"The Great Wisdom and Power Tree Sword!"
Seeing this, the Rat itself did not hesitate. It directly merged the Thousand-Faced Tree of Tuoshe behind it into the Great Wisdom Sword in its hand and slashed down, successfully hitting its opponent.
However, it is impossible to cut it off, or even break through its defenses!
"What?!" Mouse was shocked, and then saw countless black wax oil sweeping over, instantly shattering even the Immovable Lord Seal.
Fortunately, I dodged the attack using a shadow leap of extraordinary skill!
At this moment, the third finger transformed into a gigantic, pitch-black shadow, like a constantly shifting mosaic, twisted and eerie, overflowing with greedy desire.
No...that's not right!
It should be said that it is the ultimate evil thought slashed out by the third finger, a corpse of evil constructed from desire, devoid of wisdom and thought.
It is filled with ignorance, chaos, and stupidity!
The Three-Phase Body—The Chaotic Evil Corpse!
The Great Wisdom Sword is a natural enemy of intelligent life, but it loses its edge when facing beings without wisdom!
As long as one loses their mind in advance, they will not be disturbed by wisdom.
boom!
Moreover, as all the projections converged, the aura on the third finger instantly expanded, reaching the peak of the high-level giant, and was only one step away from the peak giant!
"I ate...you..."
However, before the mouse could even think, the greedy voice of the third finger rang out, and the three characters that made up its body kept changing, spreading out countless threads that swept out.
It swept away all the rat clones, killing a third of them instantly, and knocking the rest to the ground.
"retreat!"
Faced with such an offensive, the rat itself could only passively flee, constantly leaping through the shadows, and then using its amplified wisdom to continuously devise countermeasures.
However, at this moment, the thousands of threads suddenly slowed their attack and spread towards Lu Yu.
Having used the Fool's Seat for an extended period, he was low on psychic energy, slightly out of breath, and recovering.
"I am the shield of my lord!"
Seeing this, the paper knight resolutely stood guard in front of its master, but it didn't expect that these threads would directly cut it, along with the "Garden of the End Emperor" and the other pets, into other spatial dimensions.
The same applies to the Black Dragon Ant and the Three Calamities Peacock; they were also cut off.
The entire three-phase space is like a broken mirror, where each element can see the others but cannot connect with them.
Therefore, all the pets saw the black wax lines quickly transform into a cage, locking Lu Yu in place, and then rapidly closing in!
Lu Yu sat on the throne, quietly watching this scene.
"Cultivate people!!!"
The mouse murmured, wanting to provide support, but as countless roots spread out, they were unable to penetrate these strange, evil wax threads, forcing it to retreat.
"It seems I've won this time!"
From the twisted abdomen of the chaotic, monstrous corpse, a gaping maw of abyss opened, from which emerged a white porcelain mask with a "Ж" pattern, shimmering with red light. Gazing at Lu Yu, it said with fascination:
"This time, no one can save you. Just like that... merge into my body and stay with me forever..."
As she spoke, she began to walk towards Lu Yu's location, her greedy maw wide open.
"wishful thinking!"
Before he could finish speaking, a rat clone wielding the Great Wisdom Sword slashed at the fair-skinned mask, but it was blocked by the evil corpse, and then the black wax thread pierced through his body.
"Pooh!"
The intense pain contorted the rat clone's face, but it raised its head and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the mask on its third finger.
"The Xiu people are ours!"
"The lamentations of the weak are truly boring," the Third Finger said indifferently. Just as she was about to approach, she saw one wounded rat clone after another blocking her way.
It turned into a furry wall!
The rat itself arrived before them, looked at the third finger, and said calmly, "If you want to harm cultivators, you'll have to step over our corpses first!"
"A touching scene, but unfortunately... the weak have no right to negotiate. However, taking you back should interest the Faceless God."
The mask of the third finger sneered, and the evil corpse began to stride forward, sweeping across with overwhelming pressure, preparing to take the rat back to the Brotherhood of Faceless for further study.
Faced with such a terrifying creature, the rat itself released the Great Wisdom Sword and vanished into nothingness. This scene made the third finger's smile even brighter.
However, the next second, the face under the mask froze.
The true form of the rat sat atop auspicious clouds, looking down upon its numerous clones, and asked through telepathy:
"Are you ready?"
"For the sake of cultivating humanity!"
The rat clones' gazes were unwavering, never faltering.
The rat itself took a deep breath, and a light of wisdom continuously emanated from its body.
That wisdom was accumulated through killing the projection of the third finger, and also included its own inherent wisdom...
As they were ripped from their bodies, their gazes became dull and dim, but what remained unchanged from beginning to end was their dependence and bond!
From the moment they left the ruins, their lives were filled with Xiu Ren, and the meaning of their existence was all for him.
A future without cultivators is not the future they desire!
and so……
"Let's end this!"
At this moment, the indifferent voice of the third finger rang out, pronouncing their fate.
Whoosh whoosh!
Countless black wax streaks spread out, piercing through the countless rat clones, preparing to deliver the final blow.
However, at the moment of approach, it was swept away by a force, instantly disintegrating and shattering into ashes.
"This is……"
She looked up and saw a scene she would never forget.
Above the three-phase world, a twisted, deep red vortex appeared in the sky, deep within.
boom!
A twisted figure emerged, emanating a profound, mysterious, and terrifying aura that reflected endless time, eroded all things, and tore everything apart.
At that moment, the mouse's voice rang out:
"With my wisdom, I summon..."
"Future Rat!"
