Lu Chengchuan traveled over ten kilometers in an instant and advanced towards the depths of the Monster Continent at the fastest speed.
He knew the location of the tiankeng, so he deliberately set out in another direction, bypassing the army of monsters carrying corpses and quietly arriving near the tiankeng.
Those lord monsters were not nearby. After looking for a while, Lu Chengchuan hid a thousand meters underground.
After arriving at a safe place, Lu Chengchuan's soul left his body, first came to the ground, and then flew towards the sinkhole.
Compared to the first time I came here more than ten years ago, the dark space under the tiankeng has changed. From the entrance, you can see that there is something shining inside.
He flew to the bottom of the sinkhole and saw something shining brightly as soon as he entered.
It was the huge crystal that emitted a bright light from below, and the beast's vitality became stronger...
The curled-up giant beast seemed to be showing signs of waking up. Lu Chengchuan slowly flew in front of the crystal, and light radiated from the inside out, illuminating the giant beast inside.
No mental power is required, you can see it clearly with your naked eyes.
Its vitality is increasing all the time, and its dormant soul occasionally fluctuates, as if it is in the process of awakening.
The soul approached the crystal. He raised his hand and placed it on the crystal, trying to reach in but was blocked.
The crystal emitted a special power, blocking his hand that was about to reach in. Lu Chengchuan withdrew his hand, and his mental power penetrated into the crystal, slowly touching the body of the giant beast.
The moment his mind power came into contact with the giant beast, a powerful thought flowed into his mind along with his mind power, and a huge voice exploded in his head.
"Who is spying on me?"
There was an inexplicably powerful force in the angry cry. Lu Chengchuan only felt pain coming from all over his soul. The force was destroying him, and he could only barely resist.
He quickly withdrew his mental strength and flew towards the sinkhole without hesitation.
The crystal suddenly burst into a brighter light, and the giant beast inside did not move. Lu Chengchuan did not dare to hesitate and flew up at full speed.
The pressure in the dark space became stronger and stronger. Lu Chengchuan released his mental strength to fight against the pressure and flew upwards with difficulty.
Fortunately, the giant beast did not wake up completely and had little power to use. Lu Chengchuan flew out of the dark space under the pressure. The moment he went out, the power pressing on him instantly dissipated.
After returning to his body, Lu Chengchuan endured the pain in his soul and quickly fled towards the fortress city.
He ran at full speed towards the human continent regardless of the cost. On the way, he encountered a monster carrying corpses, but he ignored it and ran back to the fortress city as fast as he could.
"You're back? What did you find?"
He came back after most of the day. Seeing Lu Chengchuan's pale face, Tuka knew that something must have happened.
"The beast king is waking up. It is very powerful and I was accidentally injured by it." Lu Chengchuan said with a pale face and a serious tone.
He knew that the behemoth was very powerful, but he didn't expect that the behemoth could hurt him while still sleeping.
Moreover, it roared so loudly that it hurt his soul. Even ordinary lord monsters could not do this. The level of that giant beast must be higher than theirs.
"It's very strong. If it really wakes up, we will be no match for it."
Tuka's expression turned serious when he heard the middle part. He knew how powerful Lu Chengchuan was, that he could fight two lord monsters without being defeated. Now that he looked like this, Tuka believed that these words were true.
"Beast King... How come a Beast King suddenly appeared..."
In the same way, Tuka also became anxious.
The current situation is not good for them. If the Beast King wakes up, their situation will probably be even worse.
"Let's deal with the current situation first and get prepared." Lu Chengchuan was also unsure.
All his fears were due to his own lack of strength. If he could break through to a new level, maybe, possibly he wouldn't have to be afraid of the Beast King waking up.
He now has more than 6,200 years left to live, and only 1,800 years are needed to complete the Soul Transfer Technique.
He is now only one step away from a breakthrough, but this step is difficult to cross. He may have to practice for hundreds of years before he can break through, but he does not have that much time.
He has a long lifespan, but time waits for no one, and the giant beast will not give him hundreds of years to practice slowly.
"I'm going to kill the monster. You tell them the news and ask them to prepare."
Knowing that time was not on his side, Lu Chengchuan hurried out to kill monsters. When his lifespan was enough, he would immediately find a place to improve himself. This was the most important thing.
Lu Chengchuan went out to look for monsters, and Tuka told others the news that the Beast King was about to wake up.
Upon learning that the Beast King was awakening, the six people also realized the seriousness of the matter, but the current problems had not been solved, not to mention the Beast King who was thousands of miles away.
In the days that followed, the monster army attacked the city walls from time to time. Lu Chengchuan was restrained by two lord monsters and had no time to kill those low-level monsters.
After a fierce battle, they dragged their companions' bodies away from the battlefield. The defenders rushed forward to grab the bodies, and another fierce battle ensued between the two sides.
After a series of fights and pauses, time passed in a flash and it was eighteen years later.
He swung his sword and killed a fleeing monster. He glanced around and saw that the remaining monsters had all run away. The battle that had lasted for more than half a month was finally over.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
After the battle, Raya came down from the city wall and ran quickly to her teacher.
"What can I do? Go back first. We can talk later." Lu Chengchuan waved to her and put the blood sword into the scabbard.
Today, Raya is no longer the same person as before. He successfully broke through five years ago and is now a master-level super-powered person.
After the breakthrough, her physical appearance changed. She became younger and her skin color changed from wheat yellow back to fair.
The superpowers make her young and beautiful, and also give her the ability to manipulate rock and soil.
Lu Chengchuan met Tuka on the city wall. Tuka had changed his armor as his previous one was broken in the battle. Lu Chengchuan also had a set, but he rarely wore it.
"The situation is very bad. The energy fluctuations are getting stronger. I suspect it's about to wake up."
The monsters retreated, but Tuka's mood did not improve. Energy fluctuations could be heard from the depths of the Monster Continent from time to time, and they were especially frequent this year.
"I know time waits for no one. I have something to tell you." Lu Chengchuan knew that time was running out, so he didn't waste any words.
"I have to leave for something. You watch here. If the monsters don't come, it's fine. But if they do, you'll have to hold them off on your own for a while."
"You're leaving?! Where are you going? If you have something to do, you can ask someone else to do it. Why bother coming here in person..."
Tuka's heart almost stopped after hearing this. He said he wanted to leave at this time, but Tuka couldn't imagine the scene of himself facing three lord monsters alone.
"I have to do this by myself. No one else can help me. If I succeed... Fortress City will be safe."
He went out to accomplish only one thing, a breakthrough.
