I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 684 - 504: This is the Victory of the Greedy Demon God and the Triumph of Third-Level Civilization Technology

Chapter 684 -504: This is the Victory of the Greedy Demon God and the Triumph of Third-Level Civilization Technology

“Looks like… they’re fighting.”

In the surveillance room of the Green Mountain, a large group of staff was analyzing satellite images.

The specific scene was unclear; people could only tell that both parties had come into contact.

In just an instant, everyone felt as if they’d fallen into an ice cellar, an endless dread spreading from the void.

…

The horrifying [Ghost] moved; its elongated neck twisted with huge force, trying to align its head back.

It raised a pale hand, aiming at Lu Yuan’s chest.

Although the exterior of the [Ghost] was snake-man-like, its essence was far from ordinary flesh and blood.

Between its detached head and body, a thick layer of darkness connected them — this was an undying body.

Fortunately, the Greedy Demon God was also far from being ordinary flesh and blood.

Lu Yuan sensed that his opponent was about to launch an attack. A vine quickly lashed out from his silver-white arm, and a dazzling light flashed by.

“Multiple Spirit Rune — Billion-flash Cutting Technique.”

The apparition of [Devil·Painted Skin] emerged in the air, spitting out a blurred syllable: [Tsuán!]

The sound reverberated through the air, creating a high-impact echo.

A golden bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the space.

This strike was incomparably sharp.

It directly severed the pale hand reaching toward him.

Cloudy blood sprayed instantly onto the surrounding soil and corroded it like sulfuric acid, leaving a large patch of scorched earth.

This was the victory of the Greedy Demon God.

It was also the victory of Third-level Civilization Technology.

From ocean to shore, from self-realization to the creation of all things, a civilization capable of wounding a [Ghost] was already the darling of an Epoch.

…

“The ideal radiation of the [Ghost] seems to be suppressed?” Hai Zhiyun reported some good news amidst the stifling atmosphere.

They didn’t know exactly what was happening and could only wait.

Only the Conch vaguely guessed that her husband might have gotten too excited and engaged the [Ghost] in a full-fledged battle.

…

However, victory was always fleeting.

Even with one arm severed, the [Ghost·Spirit Shrine’s Eye] remained silent, the blood pupil at its brow staring numbly at the Greedy Demon God.

The head Lu Yuan had seized constantly deformed and contracted.

In an instant, Lu Yuan felt as though he was grabbing a mass of air, utterly unable to exert strength.

The decayed head restored itself to its original state.

The scarlet blood pupil gave the severed arm taken by Lu Yuan an eerie glance.

The severed snake-man arm similarly liquefied into pus.

The pus rapidly turned into a black mist, reassembling with its body, and the severed limb regenerated.

Even the decayed scales and inexplicable mold regained their exact initial positions.

Lu Yuan’s face darkened. “As expected, defeating a [Ghost] isn’t easy.”

“This level of regeneration ability… unheard of, it’s on the level of rules.”

“Time to bail.”

At that moment, the snake-man [Ghost]’s waist suddenly whipped around as though preparing for a tail-swinging attack.

However, its lower body had already vanished, making the motion of swinging its tail seemingly pointless.

Nonetheless, Lu Yuan immediately assumed a defensive posture.

With a soft “whoosh,” accompanied by a gust of wind.

Blood!

He saw black blood splashing toward him. This substance seemed exceptionally troublesome. Lu Yuan’s pupils constricted. Divine Skill — Different Space!

A large portion of the blood passed through the Different Space.

Yet somehow, a small amount of blood inexplicably bypassed the spatial ability’s protective effect and splattered onto him.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Scorching heat and icy cold — two conflicting sensations surged through his body, as though his soul was ignited.

His silver-white body corroded, leaving mottled rust-like marks.

If not for [Steel], this peculiar blood might have directly killed Lu Yuan.

But now, he realized he was still alive. Even in the face of death, survival demanded retaliation.

Sweat poured down his body as he threw another punch.

Multiple Spirit Rune — Divine Power!

This spirit word was usually of little practical use. In this age, who still engaged in hand-to-hand combat?

Moreover, human bodies found it difficult to withstand such terrifying spirit word energy.

But “Divine Power” was meticulously tailored by Conch for Lu Yuan, capable of fortifying soul resistance, spiritual power, reaction speed, and… raw strength.

The [Steel] ability allowed him to neutralize external forces but could not externalize it as an offensive ability. It was fundamentally defensive, lacking in attack power.

However, fists reinforced by [Steel] were immensely forceful, proportional to his raw physical strength.

“Just die already!”

This punch, amplified by Huge Power, immediately shredded the air, creating a deafening sonic boom!

The metallic punch turned scorching blue due to the intense heat, viciously striking toward the snake-man [Ghost].

“Bang!”

The collision of fist and face exploded a cascade of plasma.

It resembled an erupting bomb. White light flashed as heated scales mixed with sticky black liquid spiraled through the air in two rotations.

The devastating punch caved in the opponent’s cheekbone. The face of the snake-man [Ghost] stretched into an incredibly elongated shape, resembling a noodle being kneaded, as its entire body was flung backward dozens of kilometers, carving a deep gouge into the ground.

But the [Ghost] was undying.

The noodle-like substance rapidly restored itself.

Without much effort, it stood up again.

The [Ghost·Spirit Shrine’s Eye]’s eyeball wriggled momentarily. Its mashed face, ballooning like a swelling rubber ball, inflated back. Then, the blood pupil at its brow shone with a flash of red light!

[Watch out! That’s a massive finishing move!]

The ancient insect, spectating all this time, finally couldn’t hold back and shouted aloud.

The combat power of this New Myth Greedy Demon God seemed even more formidable than imagined.

However, the [Ghost], as the apex of combat strength, was terrifyingly overpowering — an opponent far too formidable to be defeated through mere brute strength alone.

Old Cat was entirely suppressed by the black Field, unable to speak.

The red light swept across. Even just a trace of its residual energy caused the body to grow cold and rigid, the flesh to wither, and the soul to dissolve.

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth tightly. Divine Skill — Spatial Teleportation!

At a critical moment, he teleported to the side of the snake-man [Ghost], throwing a punch at its snake jaw!

The snake-man [Ghost] was sent flying into the sky like a missile.

The next second, the tilted blood pupil flickered with an overwhelming radiance of red light. A storm swept down from above.

After being punched by Lu Yuan, the blood pupil slanted dangerously!

But its power was terrifying. A large swath of air transformed into plasma, and magma erupted from the ground. The areas swept by the red light turned into a long, magma-filled trench.

Lu Yuan drew a deep breath, filled with dread. What was this level of ability?

Even with the [Steel] ability, taking a direct hit from the red light would likely result in severe injuries.

Perhaps even death!

Because the red light was not merely a high-level soul attack; it also carried immense physical damage.

Lu Yuan glanced at his scalding arm. Though “Divine Power” provided him with overwhelming physical stamina, his mood grew icy cold.

“This bastard has an infinite health bar and unlimited ammo. How am I supposed to win?”

“The Different Space ability has also been countered.”

“That red light seems capable of attacking Different Space, and even the Ghost blood can bypass it. I won’t last much longer.”

While his energy remained abundant, this draining battle was unsustainable. The number of Spirit Runes left was limited, and the most powerful ones had already been used.

The attacks could inflict damage but were as meaningful as a hydrogen bomb — not significant enough to make a difference.

“I need to get out of here!”

In the next instant, as a shadow of darkness flashed by, the [Ghost] reappeared near Lu Yuan.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Yuan teleported several kilometers away.

The two entered a chaotic chase on the grasslands.

From the skirmish, Lu Yuan roughly gauged the [Ghost·Spirit Shrine’s Eye]’s strength — the Greedy Demon God could resist temporarily but was not a match for it.

Although the [Steel] ability allowed him to land a few heavy punches, they essentially amounted to mere surface injuries. Trying to sever or seal the opponent was an almost insurmountable task.

But this performance was already decent, and Lu Yuan was satisfied.

He had known all along that he wasn’t a match for the [Ghost].

“If I were a bit stronger, could I seal it?”

The pursuit was a lightning-fast, high-speed exchange. The Greedy Demon God teleported over 50 times per second, appearing as a chain of afterimages from a satellite’s perspective, akin to an electronic cloud manifesting randomly in space.

But almost immediately after a successful teleport, the [Ghost] would catch up and attempt an attack.

No matter the distance or direction of teleportation, Lu Yuan couldn’t shake it off.

“How is it catching up to me so quickly?” Lu Yuan had no choice but to use “Luck” to enhance the [Steel] ability.

[Steel·Extreme]!

As he teleported repeatedly, his entire skin slowly turned golden, resembling a miniature golden giant forged from pure gold.

To Lu Yuan’s shock, a Blood Pupil Mark appeared etched into his soul, like a tattoo, embedded deep within his essence.

The mark was extremely subtle and identical to the eyeball on the snake-man [Ghost]’s forehead, insidiously engraved upon him.

It felt as if the eye continually injected its sinister presence, carrying an aura of malevolence.

“Did this appear during my fight with the [Ghost] earlier?”

The [Steel] ability continuously neutralized and nullified the mark.

But the quality of this thing was extraordinarily high; it couldn’t be eradicated in an instant, and during their chase, the [Ghost] seemed to be subtly reinforcing it.

Lu Yuan’s entire body rippled like steel.

The true essence of the [Steel] ability was also Ideal Energy.

His muscles and bones had transformed into a liquid-metal-like substance.

“Then I’ll figure out the exact abilities of this [Ghost].”

Divine Skill — [Pioneer’s Eye·Extreme].

With the aid of “Luck,” he enhanced his identification ability.

[Blood Pupil Mark: Upon being marked, the [Ghost] can always locate your precise position, and all its attacks gain tracking capabilities.]
