【The fur of the Black Snake Goat】
[Description: A special creation born from the successful shepherding of the divine abominations in the spiritual puzzle of the Lord of the Gate, "The Shepherd," is a product of the pasture born from the transformation of a vast soul by Twilight and Desire.]
Its wool contains mysterious power, which can be used to weave special wool fabrics that produce special effects, and can also be used to upgrade all types of robes and treasures.
When immersed in water, it will instantly dissolve, turning into a potion that incites desire. Targets that cannot be judged by reason will have their bodies distorted, transforming into golden-haired goats, losing their human rationality and becoming beasts controlled by primal desires.
"That silly sheep ate so much, it's finally ready to go!"
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, his expression one of delight. Upon seeing the product's specific effects, he immediately thought of its correct usage.
Upgrade the Twilight Robe!
This treasure was a product of successfully taming the Twilight God Abomination, the [Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Desires]. However, as Lu Yu's strength increased, neither his Twilight Hundred Touch skill nor his immunity to the initial stage of Morning Star's soul attack could keep up with the current version.
However, to elevate it, one must continuously worship the Mother of Twilight, establish related religious orders, and develop influence.
This is not as simple as becoming the leader of an evil god's cult. Every sacrifice is equivalent to providing this great being with coordinates to anchor in the mortal world, and may even attract His attention.
If Lu Yu were constantly being targeted by a great being who could traverse endless ages and successfully scheme against a Hidden Corpse Emperor of the same level, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Fate's protection could not stop His spying.
One wrong move and you could become a pawn.
Lu Yu naturally didn't want to court death, and even at the cost of never being able to upgrade his Twilight Robe again, he was determined to destroy all of the Twilight Mother's backup plans.
So most of the time, he only used the Twilight Robe as a disguise, preparing to discard it when he couldn't keep up with the pace or was framed, and then create another disguise under the guise of another evil god cult.
But unexpectedly...
The Black Goat's divine creation is actually a concept-based treasure; it can be upgraded by any robe or secret treasure!
This is equivalent to...
They bypassed the blessing of the Mother of Twilight.
No, it should be said that by herding the Twilight God's offspring in pastures, they continue down the Twilight path, and in the end, they may even have a chance to steal the authority of Twilight.
Without the knowledge of the Mother of Twilight, a Twilight Angel was created in the Overworld.
The true nature of the ranch was far more terrifying than Lu Yu had imagined!
Its very existence seems to be solely for plunder!
"The ranch truly has boundless potential. I wonder what changes will occur after the three times the divine beasts graze there. Before that, I need to test the enhancing effects of the black goat's fur. If the investment and return are too disparate, it's pointless..."
With a thought, Lu Yu directly used the black goat fur, which, as it shone brightly, transformed into countless black and gold threads that merged into the Twilight Robe.
The Robe of Dusk has undergone a complete transformation!
The hem of the originally dark yellow garment was now covered with numerous black and gold patterns, intertwined like countless snake tentacles rising and coiling around a dark red sun, as if trying to drag it into an endless abyss. Just looking at it, one could feel its mystery and eeriness.
If I had to describe it, it would be like the priest's robe of a mysterious cult has been transformed into the papal robe!
The name was changed from "Robe of Twilight" to "Saint Robe of Twilight," adding a touch of saintly concept.
In addition to the changes in appearance, its abilities have also received an epic upgrade.
The ability to be immune to three early-stage Morning Star soul attacks per day has been changed to being immune to one mid-stage Radiant Moon soul attack per day. The number of attacks has decreased, but the effect has been greatly improved.
The skill name [Twilight Hundred Tentacles] remains unchanged, but the number of tentacles it can condense has increased from one hundred to six hundred and sixty-six, greatly enhancing its power and making it more and more like a tentacle monster.
At the same time, the resistance to shadow and twilight attacks has increased from 30% to 50%. At twilight, the increase in the user's strength and mental power has also increased from 30% to 40%, and the enhancement limit has also become the Radiant Moon Rank.
However, the pollution experienced by users will also increase significantly!
Moreover, it's not the soul that's polluted, but the flesh and blood; even the position of the Lord of the Gate is useless against it.
However, for Lu Yu, who possesses the [Celestial Breath] to enhance his physique, this is not a major problem. As long as he doesn't use it continuously for more than six hours, there will be no aftereffects.
It takes twelve hours for blood and flesh to become contaminated, and more than a day for abnormalities to occur.
"In this way, the identity of Archbishop Twilight has greater potential for development. Perhaps with enough black goat fur, it can be strengthened to the Eternal Sun Rank, or even a higher level."
As Lu Yu pondered, his gaze toward the black goats in the pasture shifted from disdain to anticipation.
Slow and steady wins the race!
As long as it produces a hundred times the yield each time, what does it matter how much you eat?
Therefore, to reward the black goat for its hard work, Lu Yu specially used the [Golden Rain and Dew] skill with the Decaying Crown to make the Moon Pasture lush again.
The black goats, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and thought they could rest for a while after eating so much pasture, were dumbfounded when they saw themselves grow back in an instant.
I ignored it each day and prepared to continue feeding it.
We've already rested for a minute.
It's time to work hard and grow the next coat of fur for your owner!
"Meow meow meow!"
The black goat shrieked and waved its hooves in an attempt to struggle, but was slammed into the ground by Sun Chaser, who possessed twilight resistance, and let out a disgruntled roar.
"Woof woof woof!"
Learn from the sleeping giant toad, which is constantly producing "Sleeping Toad Venom"—that's a truly good employee.
Remember, being able to eat your fill is the greatest blessing!
Then, it dragged the black goat by its hooves and forcibly fed it.
"Zhu Ri really wants to improve, that deserves praise!"
Lu Yu praised Zhu Ri's excellent ideas, then returned to his consciousness. The many operations in the ranch were nothing more than a blink of an eye in the real world.
He looked at the rat who had transformed into the Three Calamities Peacock, but the latter shook its head at him.
Although the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree absorbed the soul fragments of the Mother of Reproduction, it did not obtain much useful information.
All memories are either of trembling, on the path of trembling, or of prayer and research into breeding methods.
Dry and boring.
Even the little mouse was speechless; a shiver without love is utterly meaningless.
As for the specific altar where the Great Mother was located... she never told these matriarchs from the beginning, and even the exact location of their altars in the Propagation Tree Sea was kept secret from each other.
The caution is terrifying!
"They're all shrewd people."
Lu Yu sighed. Sure enough, how could someone who was preparing to advance to the level of an ancient giant be a piece of trash?
However, he didn't care. Once the flames burned away the entire forest, all the demons and monsters would reveal their true forms.
"My lord, these people are fine, they're just frightened."
The paper knight approached, bowing his head humbly under the bright moonlight, followed by a group of terrified humans.
Before Lu Yu made his move, he had the Paper Knights rescue them, otherwise even the other believers wouldn't be able to withstand the aftershocks of the battle, and ordinary people would be turned to ashes.
"This is... someone from the Alliance?"
After learning that the enormous dragon-armored figure before them was actually sent by the Alliance to rescue them, they breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude, but their eyes remained filled with awe.
After giving their thanks, some people couldn't contain their emotions and rushed to the altar, because their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, and even their lovers were enshrined there.
Even though they knew the chances of survival were zero, they still held onto a sliver of hope.
However, the scene that unfolded upon closer inspection left one speechless.
Among the many breeders, the males suffer the most. After being used by the believers of the Moon of Procreation, they are blown to pieces, giving rise to Moon Beasts, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Many of the modified female breeders, though alive, were living a life worse than death, transformed into flesh and blood nests that only knew how to absorb moonlight to produce moon beasts, their appearances twisted beyond recognition.
"roar!"
Because the ritual was stopped, they were not satisfied and let out angry roars, like the howls of demons, which frightened the people into stopping in their tracks and not daring to approach.
"Waaaaah..."
The next moment, they collapsed to the ground, pounding the floor and weeping bitterly.
I don't know if she's crying over her own cowardice, her fear of getting close, or regretting her incompetence in not protecting her family.
"Everything I see is suffering!"
Jiang Ji murmured the prayers of the Thorn Church, feeling unbearable pain. She reached out her hand, wanting to share their suffering through the Eye of the Evil King, but it was grasped by a large hand.
Lu Yu shook his head at her.
"I see."
Jiang Ji lowered her head sadly. In fact, she understood that such behavior would only bring her more pain and cause the thorn ring to tighten.
It's just a psychological comfort.
After all, even the greatest beings of all ages have no way to deal with humans who have undergone profound distortion.
Human life is a sea of suffering, with endless pain and suffering from birth, death, separation, love, hate, and passion.
Can the Church of Thorns truly bear all of this?
Just as Jiang Ji was feeling confused, the little spider that had been sitting on Lu Yu's shoulder raised its hand, and a large number of cursed lines emerged from the void, piercing through many mutated humans in front of everyone's horrified gazes.
"This is……"
Before Jiang Ji could ask any questions, she saw more black lines spreading from their bodies, wrapping around their necks, slowly rising and hanging in mid-air, like an execution platform, causing them to emit hoarse whimpers.
He was about to suffocate and die.
The other survivors watched this scene, closed their eyes, unable to bear seeing what was to come, but felt no resentment, because they understood Lu Yu's actions.
Rather than let them live in pain, it is better for them to die with dignity!
Unexpectedly, the degree of mutation of these breeders began to be curbed after they were entangled by the black lines. Their originally cloudy eyes regained some clarity, and they looked at the human survivors with longing in their eyes. They wanted to speak, but they could not make a sound and soon fell into a deep sleep.
"I have had the little spiders use spirit threads to split their heads and activate their spinal cords into cursed spirits to resist the most critical brain and soul from the distorted spiritual pollution in their bodies."
Although only a head remains, a top-tier life-type beast tamer can use the [Life Praise] skill, a super-level skill with peak proficiency, to reconstruct the body. If such a powerful figure cannot be found, one can try the latest cell cloning and mechanical body technology in the Mechanical King's Domain. Although it won't be as well-suited to the original body, at least it can survive.
Lu Yu's calm voice echoed across the altar, bringing hope to the many desperate human survivors. They were moved to tears, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude.
"Thank you... thank you so much!"
Then, they began to claim their family members and said they would do everything they could to keep them alive.
Even so, only a small portion of the breeders were claimed, while the majority remained unrecognized, likely from the relatives of the other abducted humans.
Lu Yu watched this scene without saying a word, then turned around, mounted the Three Calamities Peacock, and rode the sea of fire to search for the location of the next altar.
Jiang Ji stared blankly at his departing figure, and the pain on the entire altar instantly dissipated.
She seemed to understand something, and chased after him with her thorny battle axe on her back.
This time, her steps were more steady and resolute than when she swore an oath at the Thorn Church "to bear the suffering of all beings" and embarked on the path of countless thorns.
We've found the right direction!
"monster!"
At this moment, the other candidates for saintess also arrived through the scorched earth path and witnessed the entire process of Lu Yu crushing the breeding matriarch.
The Bridal Mistress, who was at the peak of the first stage of the Bright Moon realm, was crushed and brutally killed the moment they clashed.
Although Lu Yu launched a sneak attack, if they had faced each other head-on, the victory certainly wouldn't have been so easy.
but……
But this only made Lu Yu seem even more terrifying!
This means... he possesses the ability to evade the spiritual vision of those at the Radiant Moon rank, and can don dragon armor at any time to carry out decapitation tactics.
Moreover, from the moment he made his move, he began to plan step by step, driving his opponent to a mental breakdown. Even when the matriarch of the breeding family wanted to perish together with him, she was outmaneuvered.
Then he was crushed to death by his own destructive lunar rover!
Like a puppet on strings, being manipulated at will.
He truly died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
"Thank goodness this Saintess competition isn't a tournament!" Several Moon-rank outside aids thought with relief, already grateful to the Moon of Procreation Order. If they hadn't jumped out and courted death, they would have had to face this monster.
Although we are now in competition, at most I'll get slapped a couple of times when I pass by, but I won't get completely beaten up.
Yan Yu looked at the many mutated breeders hanging there. Although the scene was distorted, it was a hymn to humanity's resistance against mutation.
This Lu Yu is indeed an interesting fellow!
Crackling sounds!
The sea of fire continued to spread, burning the forest of trees. Pillars of moonlight rose up, resisting the flames while also exposing the locations of the remaining altars.
The saintesses exchanged glances, but did not give up despite Lu Yu's strength. Instead, they each targeted the altar presided over by the Moonlit Mistress and launched a frenzied attack as if they had encountered their father's killer.
The ownership of the Eye of the Evil King depends on the extent of disruption caused to the Ritual of the Month of Fertility; everyone has a chance.
Moreover, now they are not only vying for the position of Saintess, but also trying to save these innocent ordinary people.
Bearing suffering is the result, but now, we can destroy the source of the suffering!
"hateful!"
Such a ferocious offensive made even the matriarchs of the month of fertility, who were presiding over the altar ceremonies, look grim.
Are these guys on drugs?
Little did they know, this was to prevent Lu Yu from slaughtering them!
"Finally in!"
Meanwhile, the nuns of the Thorn Church on the periphery, having successfully broken into the inner part of the Tree Sea Secret Realm by Lu Yu's continuous burning and driving away of a large number of moon beasts, thus disrupting the spirituality of the Tree Sea Secret Realm.
They initially thought the fire was a trap set by the Fertility Month, and proceeded cautiously, wondering why the other side hadn't made a move yet.
It wasn't until he saw Lu Yu ravaging the land that he instantly understood the whole story.
As expected, no secret realm could withstand the power of "the land is not the same as the people"!
With no more reservations, the numerous Thorn Sisters followed the sea of fire and quickly found the remaining altars, beginning to kill the followers of the Procreation Moon.
The secret ritual in the sea of trees, painstakingly arranged during the month of breeding, has now become a cage where turtles are trapped!
Lu Yu didn't care about this, and even took the initiative to prevent the sea of fire from affecting his teammates, since with his efficiency, he was not enough to conquer the remaining eight altars at the same time.
Most importantly, they still need to find the exact location of the "Great Mother".
Once this guy ascends to the Eternal Sun, the balance of the entire battlefield will tilt.
boom!
"You dare!"
Just as they were carrying out their encirclement and annihilation, a vast and oppressive force swept down from the sky, causing everyone to feel a chill in their souls, as if they were underwater and about to be crushed by the water pressure at any moment.
The eternal giant of the month of reproduction,
I finally couldn't resist and made my move!
boom!
The brilliant moonlight gathered and transformed into a giant silver eye, with a black mark of the Moon Palace imprinted deep within its pupil.
The moment it appeared, it cast a huge shadow, covering hundreds of miles of tree-lined ruins, causing the roaring sea of fire to pause and be extinguished. A boundless malice enveloped Lu Yu.
"No wonder he's the best of the best on the bus, his eyes are practically black!" Lu Yu sneered, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.
This guy's ability to taunt is absolutely extraordinary.
It's always used on ancient giants!
"snort."
A cold snort came from the sky. Within the Moon Palace mark with its enormous eye, a vast number of moon beasts wriggled, their bodies constantly breaking apart and merging together, transforming into a tengu with eight legs and the signature mouthparts of a moon beast.
"Awooo—"
It opened its enormous, dark maw, which covered dozens of miles, and countless moon beast tentacles swept towards Lu Yu. Wherever it passed, space shattered and the world fell into darkness.
This is...
Tengu eats the moon!
boom!
However, before they could get close, an endless sea of thorns surged forth, transforming into a giant thorn hammer covered in sharp spikes, with a dark green eye on its head, which then slammed down.
Rumble!
The thorny spirit roared, crushing countless tengu tentacles, which then scattered like moonlight across the sky.
"Your opponent is me!"
A gentle woman's voice rang out, and the enormous thorn hammer rapidly shrank, its handle grasped by a slender, jade-like hand, which rested on her shoulder. It was none other than the High Priestess of Thorns—Zheng Yi!
She glanced at Lu Yu and praised, "Well done! I'll handle this guy!"
After saying that, Zheng Yi carried a hammer several times larger than herself and swung it at the tengu tentacles that continued to sweep in.
"Eternal Wound Hammer!"
Rumble!
The sky trembled, and the tengu's whiskers were smashed away by the small hammer. A great battle broke out in the sky, and terrifying spiritual energy waves swept through, tearing everything apart.
Even the giant eye that overlooked the earth was broken in one corner, but it was repaired in the blink of an eye under the healing moonlight.
But the next moment, a large number of thorns grew, piercing through the original wound, and continued to spread and pierce, emitting painful howls.
Thorns are covered in poisonous thorns, and touching them will cause wounds that are difficult to heal.
However, if pierced by a thorn of the ancient giant level, it will evolve into an eternal, bone-deep pain that cannot be escaped even by changing bodies unless it is removed.
A true, eternal wound!
"Zheng Yi, do you want to fight me to the death?" A cold, female voice echoed from the sky.
Zheng Yi smiled gently: "Youyue, I remember when you were the previous Great Mother of the Propagation Moon, I chased you like a dog. Now that you've become an Eternal Giant, you're putting on airs. Is it this legendary trait [Eye of the Dark Moon] that gave you the courage?"
But looking closely, these eyes do resemble my Eye of Eternal Thorns. It seems the psychological trauma I caused you back then was quite significant, as you've been thinking about them ever since.
"Zheng Yi, you're courting death!" The ancient giant in the sky broke through its defenses instantly. The moon beast celestial dog spat out countless moon whiskers, sweeping across the sky with vast moonlight, but it was quickly smashed back by Zheng Yi with a hammer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two ancient giants clashed in a great battle. Although You Yue frequently tried to take action to eliminate Lu Yu and the others, she was blocked by countless walls of thorns each time and could not affect the battlefield on the ground.
This left Youyue feeling incredibly frustrated, so she could only launch a frantic attack to buy time for the new Grand Mother to be promoted.
"We need to hurry!"
Lu Yu quickly located another altar, where the matriarch presiding over it was a cold and beautiful woman with long, black hair.
"I will remove all obstacles in the path of my Lord!"
The paper knight stepped forward, hurling a black spear that struck the moon barrier protecting the altar.
"Eternal Night Lance!"
"roll!"
The breeding matriarch acted swiftly, reinforcing the moonlight barrier.
However, it was discovered that the moment the dark spear made contact with the barrier, it did not unleash a terrifying shockwave. Instead, countless streams of dark energy spread out, continuously eroding the moonlight, and then…
It pierced through a small hole.
It fell onto the altar!
boom!
The Eternal Night Lance shattered instantly, transforming into countless streams of black energy that converged and swept in like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing a large number of followers of the Moon of Procreation.
"save……"
Before they could even cry for help, their bodies melted away like burning candles, merging into the darkness and washing over the earth, devouring the brilliant moonlight on the altar.
Click click click!
The barrier shattered directly from within, transforming into a shower of moonlight.
Unlike the scorching, tyrannical Daytime Lance, the power of the Night Lance is...
Eclipse!
The coming of eternal darkness is never a grand and sweeping event, but rather a silent and gradual erosion of everything, plunging all things into darkness!
With Lu Yu's Eye of Truth locking onto weaknesses, it's enough to penetrate any barrier!
"hateful!"
Seeing this, the black-haired matriarch was filled with resentment and wanted to continue her attack, but she was met with three figures who launched a fierce offensive.
"The Ultimate Technique of the Virtual Sword!"
"The Three Calamities Divine Light!"
Crimson Dragon Breath!
In a single exchange, the breeding matriarch was severely injured by the combined attack of the little spider, the mouse, and the egg, and her body was sent flying backward.
Chi Chi Chi!
Before she could even catch her breath, she was grabbed by a large, white paper hand. A large amount of darkness coiled around her body like snakes, corroding her voluptuous figure and creating numerous pits, turning it into a huge hole from which a large amount of lunar spiritual energy poured out.
The Moon Palace within her body was also corrupted, and many of the Moon Beasts within it were silently annihilated by the darkness before they could even appear.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The fertility matriarch let out a painful wail, and then met a pale cross-shaped mask, and beneath the mask, golden eyes burning fiercely under the brilliant moonlight.
At this moment, the paper knight was not as cruel and tyrannical as he was in his sun form; instead, he exuded a sense of pity and humility.
This noble knight king is watching a person who has gone astray...
Hopefully she can see the error of her ways!
"Let me go!" the breeding matriarch roared, but she was held firmly in her hand.
The Paper Knight's voice rang out: "You have embarked on a wrong path, your body stained with endless sins. If you continue like this, you will be doomed forever."
Splash!
As soon as the words were spoken, countless sheets of paper fell from its paper kingdom armor and fluttered in the air, each sheet bearing black characters.
These are humility, honesty, compassion, courage, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul.
These papers climbed and covered the body of the Black-haired Fertility Mother, wrapping her up like a mummy.
Originally born from the contamination of the Paper God, it has acquired the characteristics of the Paper Knight through the long process of integration, and with the help of the ranch, it has gradually become in sync with its will.
gurgle gurgle!
These inscribed words of chivalry, like living things, began to writhe, constantly burrowing into the body of the matriarch, penetrating her soul, and continuously spreading chivalry, until finally…
It was transformed directly into a tall paper puppet, from which voices continuously emanated:
"Humility, honesty, compassion..."
As she recited chivalrous virtues, she began the massacre of the procreation believers.
Every life she takes makes the chivalrous words on her body shine even brighter.
Seeing this, the paper knight said with satisfaction, "Congratulations! You have finally seen the error of your ways and are now basking in the glory of our Lord!"
This scene sent chills down everyone's spines, and they stared at the paper knight with expressions of fear.
Is this guy really not a follower of an evil god?
That's so weird!
Lu Yu gazed at the paper knight, which shone like holy light under the brilliant moonlight, and fell silent.
It not only distorts virtue under the sun, but also under the intense moonlight...
It seems quite extreme!
However, Lu Yu didn't care about the Paper Knight's little problem. After having the little spider use the Cursed Realm Threads to suspend the Breeders and settle the Survivors, he continued to destroy the remaining altars with Jiang Ji.
The battlefield situation was one-sided, with a large number of Propagation Moon believers being killed. However, the Thorn Church was not excited; instead, they looked solemn because they had discovered a serious problem.
After all nine altars were breached, the Great Mother was nowhere to be found.
"What's going on!?"
At that moment, everyone sensed that something was wrong.
At the same time, the ancient moon in the sky gradually changed. The moonlight gradually faded, and psionic fluctuations swept across the entire main world. The astral plane dimmed at this moment.
However, the rituals at the nine altars continued, greedily devouring the moonlight.
Grandmother...
Where did they go?
P.S.: 7100 words. Requesting votes at the beginning of the month.
Thank you all for your support. At the beginning of this storyline, many readers probably guessed where the Great Mother was.
