Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 604 - 334: The Limit of Iron Bone Realm

Lu Yu strolled through the endless Gobi Desert, where stalagmites pierced the sky everywhere.

At this time, half an hour had passed since he had slain the Yaksha Race, and he followed the trail of a Xing Beast to this part of the Gobi.

In the vast Gobi, he actually saw traces of a Xing Beast, which made Lu Yu feel a bit strange.

Although the number of Xing Beasts was rare compared to the enormous demon stars, it was strange not to see a single Xing Beast's figure in the Gobi that stretched for thousands of miles.

Although there were many rocks standing on the Gobi, the massive body of a Xing Beast appearing in the Gobi would certainly be exceptionally conspicuous.

Lu Yu followed the footprints of a Xing Beast to this place, but he did not see the beast itself.

"Thump thump thump~" Lu Yu reached out and tapped the giant stone beside him, which appeared to be just an ordinary rock, with nothing special about it.

He continued deeper into the Gobi, not believing that in such a vast desert, he would be unable to find a Xing Beast.

Thump thump thump~ The sound of something heavy striking the ground rang out, and after hearing it, Lu Yu immediately rushed in the direction from which the sound came.

A huge basin appeared in Lu Yu's sight, and the sound was coming from the center of the basin.

He looked into the distance and saw several black stone pillars continuously striking the ground up and down. The thumping sound was produced by these black stone pillars striking the ground.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Yu headed toward the center of the basin, and upon approaching, he was shocked to discover that the true form of these pillars was a uniquely shaped Xing Beast. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This Xing Beast had no head or limbs, only a mountain-like body lying on the ground. On its back were several thick stone pillars that moved up and down, pounding the ground.

After watching for a while, Lu Yu noticed that each time the pillars struck the ground, a faint purple glow would appear on the Xing Beast's back.

Clang~ A piece of purple crystal ore fell out from a hole beside the Xing Beast. Lu Yu noticed that many purple crystal-like ores had accumulated around the beast.

From the way the purple crystal ores were piled up, it was clear that part of the purple crystal ore here had been "taken," and what should have been a piled-up heap had its peak "dug" away, forcing the rest to the sides.

Lu Yu could sense that those purple crystal ores contained the same power as the blood within the Xing Beast.

These purple crystal ores were likely the food of the Xing Beast.

Though Lu Yu wasn't sure if Xing Beasts relied on eating to sustain their lives, it did not prevent him from making this assumption.

He reached out and picked up a piece of purple crystal ore, feeling a needle-like pain in his arm holding the crystal. The demon star's erosion was intensifying.

After a brief attempt, he gave up trying to absorb the power within the purple crystal ore.

From just a small intake of the purple crystal ore's power, Lu Yu felt an intense stabbing pain in the meridians of his arm. It's important to know that his meridians are now extremely tough, and even if his spiritual power went berserk, it wouldn't cause such pain.

Yet, after absorbing only a small amount of the purple crystal ore's energy, he felt pain, indicating that this substance was completely unsuitable for a Martial Cultivator to absorb.

If anyone else dared to absorb the energy of the purple crystal into their meridians, their meridians would be ruined by now.

Nonetheless, Lu Yu did not throw away the purple crystal ore in his hand; instead, he collected more purple crystal ore into his pack.

After clearing away the purple crystal ore surrounding the self-mining Xing Beast, Lu Yu tried to slay the Xing Beast.

Though it appeared different from most Xing Beasts, it was still a Xing Beast and definitely contained fragments of the Star Law within its body.

Regrettably, this Xing Beast's defensive strength was exceptionally strong. Even if Lu Yu unleashed ten times his battle power, he could only barely break through its defense, still a long way from killing this mountain-like Xing Beast.

Seeing this, Lu Yu immediately turned and left, realizing that attempting to slay this Xing Beast was futile and that he would be better off searching for other Xing Beasts.

In addition, he already had a good strategy for finding Xing Beasts, so there was no need to fight it stubbornly here.

Thump thump thump~ The ground shook, and Lu Yu saw a Xing Beast, crawling along the ground, standing as tall as a hundred meters, walking in this direction, with each step causing the ground to tremble.

He quickly hid under a rock, as the massive body of the Xing Beast passed by, inadvertently scraping the edge of the rock, cracking large pieces of it and causing a tendency to topple over.

Lu Yu hurriedly braced the rock to prevent it from collapsing and pinning him underneath.

Fortunately, this Xing Beast only brushed against the rock accidentally, and once it passed, no more force acted upon the rock.

After the shadow passing over the sky had gone, Lu Yu emerged from behind the rock, and the enormous rock shook twice before tilting slightly and then stopping.

With a glance at the Xing Beast that had crawled past, Lu Yu moved on in another direction.

A Xing Beast walking upright over a hundred meters tall had power equivalent to a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator, while a hundred-meter Xing Beast on all fours had a body larger than the upright one, with strength surpassing a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator.

Size was the best indicator of a Xing Beast's power: the larger the size, the stronger the power.

If it had been a hundred-meter Xing Beast walking upright, perhaps Lu Yu would have acted, but this was a hundred-meter Xing Beast on all fours, with incalculable strength.

After trekking for quite some time, now nearing the edge of the Gobi, Lu Yu took out a piece of purple crystal ore from his pack and scattered a pile of purple crystal ore on a path where he saw traces of a Xing Beast.
