Lu Yuan extended his right arms, grabbing a four-armed Elephantman by its shoulder and neck. He lifted it and threw it!

BOOM!

The ground in front of him was immediately smashed into a huge pit.

However, before the Elephantman could get up, Lu Yuan's four arms had each grabbed one of its incredibly thick elephant hooves, giving it a light shake and then exerting force on both sides…

RIP—BOOM!

The gigantic, two-headed, four-armed Elephantman was torn apart by Lu Yuan on the spot, splattering like an imploded hill.

The total time from engagement to the end of the fight was less than the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan's moves were ruthless and brutal, yet the fluidity and naturalness in his movements were indescribable—overpowering and decisive.

He was growing more and more accustomed to fighting in his Elephantman form. The coordination between his Grandmaster skills and the Ming King's body became increasingly comfortable.

The area around the huge stone pestle was strewn with black, rock-like severed limbs, resembling a collapsed ruin.

Standing in the midst of these ruins, Lu Yuan lightly touched the center of his brow, releasing his Spiritual Power.

Dozens of Elephantman hearts were picked out by an invisible force and flew towards him.

Seeing the dozens of hearts before him, Lu Yuan's expression showed little fluctuation.

His eyes flickered. The dozens of hearts disintegrated simultaneously. The black, spectral light released from them shot towards him like arrows, merging into his body.

THUMP-THUMP—THUMP-THUMP—

Lu Yuan heard his own heart beating audibly faster.

Before he could react, the bulges under his ribs and around his neck suddenly swelled, and then with a POP, new arms and a head grew out from those spots.

BOOM!

The moment the third pair of arms appeared, an unprecedentedly vast power surged from within Lu Yuan's body.

The heart in his chest suddenly enlarged. The black patterns on his body, resembling the texture of Demon Mountain, grew rapidly. His body quickly expanded and grew taller, directly breaking through the nine-meter mark to reach ten meters.

WHOOSH—

A terrifying pressure unleashed an invisible hurricane that spread outwards, causing the massive stone pestle nearby to tremble slightly.

Lu Yuan stood in place, his eyes slightly lowered, his six arms outstretched.

His sturdy legs were deeply rooted in the ground beneath him, connecting him to it. His whole body seemed to be an imposing Demon Mountain that had quietly risen from the earth. The robust aura it emitted made the air around him freeze.

With each breath, a deep black shadow silently spread out around him, like undulating mountain ranges.

The construction of a new Ming King body had been completed.

The three-headed, six-armed Ming King!

Checking the progress of the [Elephant God: Ming King (Extraordinary)] panel, as expected, the previously stuck experience bar had broken through 79% and smoothly reached 80%.

A difference of one percent in experience equates to a world of difference in strength....

Lu Yuan lightly flicked his hand, and his six arms quivered simultaneously.

Immediately, a large number of visible black ripples radiated from his arms.

Beneath these black ripples, the transparent air trembled violently like silk, while dull sounds echoed repeatedly.

When the black ripples reached the huge stone pestle in front of him, it silently and quickly disintegrated into dust…

Each ripple contains at least 3,000 tons of force, and this is still far from my limit....

While Lu Yuan marveled at this amazing power, he couldn't help but ponder.

Compared to his previous two-headed, four-armed state, his current three-headed, six-armed state possessed substantially increased Physical Strength.

He could now easily tear his previous self apart with his bare hands.

The more profound this increase, the more complex Lu Yuan's feelings became.

Although pushing the experience bar for the Ming King from 79% to 80% indeed required him to kill a significant number of Elephantmen, the whole process still seemed a little too easy.

It doesn't have the solid feeling of gradual improvement experienced with the [Fighter] and [Martial Arts Grandmaster] professions...

Lu Yuan was clearly aware.

This power was inherited from Demon Mountain, originating from the Elephant God. Although the existence of the panel meant he wouldn't become a believer of the Elephant God just by accepting this power's infusion, he could still only be considered a borrower. Just like the Death Qi brought by [Death Teller (Extraordinary)] represented the Crow God Power, this power, representing the Power of the Elephant God, was also just a tool for him, a weapon; the strength was not his own.

Thinking this, Lu Yuan's thoughts became much clearer.

The sense of indulgence brought by the huge increase in strength due to the evolution of the Ming King also vanished completely.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking, he suddenly felt the Elephant God's curse on his chest become extremely hot.

This kind of heat was not uncommon after entering the Elephant God's Secret Realm and would occur from time to time.

But what was different this time was that Lu Yuan felt the Elephant God's Curse on his body rapidly expanding and deepening...

HUM-HUM-HUM—

The ground beneath his feet began to shake, and the enormous stone pestle in front of him, which he hadn't yet had a chance to examine, abruptly collapsed.

And then...

BOOM—

An invisible ripple swept across Lu Yuan's body in mid-air.

A three-headed, six-armed figure suddenly flashed before Lu Yuan's eyes, silently standing on high ground, looking down at him.

He couldn't see the figure's full appearance, only a pair of cold, ferocious eyes.

Those eyes gazed at him, conveying a level of malice far greater than any previous encounter.

If the malice this figure had previously shown him was merely the cold hostility reserved for external enemies, then now, this malice was mixed with an intense loathing.

It regarded him as a mortal enemy, a strong urge to eliminate him evident in its gaze.

BOOM... BOOM...

Lu Yuan snapped back from his momentary trance.

He was shocked to find that on the plain in the distance, thick black fog was bursting open.

From within the fog, a large number of Ancient Elephant God's creatures with ferocious expressions emerged, along with shadowy figures of Elephantmen.

These creatures were all precisely locked onto him.

The Hate Aura that had always clung to him seemed to be magnified a thousand, even ten thousand times at this moment. It drew all the Elephant God's creatures in the Secret Realm to surround and intercept him, rushing towards him en masse.

Lu Yuan looked into the distance and saw that at the end of the black plain, a pillar of blazing red light that seemed to pierce the sky had appeared at some unknown time.

As he looked at the light column, an extremely intense, scorching desire welled up from the depths of his blood for no reason.

At this moment, even though Lu Yuan hadn't found the continuation of the petroglyph he had been searching for earlier, he understood a great deal.

Within the same tribe, there cannot be two three-headed, six-armed Elephantmen at the same time....

Between it and me, only one can survive....

Lu Yuan looked at his current three-headed, six-armed Ming King, then at the approaching army of Elephantmen and Ancient Elephant God's creatures.

He pondered.

So... this is the destined battle of the Tribal King?

HUM—

Accompanied by a loud and dull noise, a massive ring of black ripples abruptly spread out from Lu Yuan as the center.

His figure disappeared on the spot.

The next moment...

He was already in the midst of the onrushing army bent on his slaughter.

"Origin Knife Skill—First Strike!"

Yin Muqing swung the silver-alloy long knife in her hand. The two Star Caves in her body surged with violent energy, propelling the blade to cut out a silver knife-light, over ten meters long, in front of her.

As the knife-light slashed out, the Elephantmen blocking her path, along with Ancient Elephant God's creatures, fell one after another like weeds cut by a sickle, flesh and blood flying.

Terrifying energy ripples spread out, leaving traces on the hard ground as if it had been deeply plowed.

Even though they knew Yin Muqing was an exceptionally skilled fighter, the Flying Bears behind her were still deeply impressed by her prowess.

However, the scene unfolding on the other side, adjacent to their team, was even more astonishing.

There were two figures whose features were indistinguishable; they were enveloped in a cascade of radiant light.

They were like two low-flying meteors, moving swiftly across the vast black plain.

Advancing unstoppably, everything in their path—Elephantmen and Ancient Elephant God's creatures alike—was effortlessly torn apart as if made of paper, leaving behind only a long, brilliant trail.

Yin Muqing watched the two figures whiz by, her eyes flashing rapidly. She quickly instructed the Flying Bear Generals behind her, her body bursting with an even more dazzling light as she swiftly chased after them.

She no longer attacked the Elephantmen and Ancient Elephant God's creatures below, only occasionally swinging her knife to clear obstacles in her path.

However, the closer she got to the crimson light column in the distance, the more she could feel the invisible, omnipresent suppressive force in the air.

All her energy came from the two Star Caves she had developed within her body.

In the Evil God's Secret Realm, the cosmic energy within the Star Caves could not be replenished. Furthermore, the mysterious substances permeating the Secret Realm, derived from the Power of the Ancient Evil God, naturally suppressed practitioners of the Starry Sky Martial Path like herself.

The denser the mysterious substances in the space, the stronger the suppressive force.

At this point, the difference in strength between Yin Muqing and the two people ahead was immediately evident.

She had only developed two Star Caves, while the two Supernova Members on Havel's side had each opened more than three. Moreover, their Star Caves were far more refined than hers.

In such an oppressive environment, they could maintain their composure more easily, and their combat power was significantly stronger.

Not a high chance of success...

Yin Muqing stared at the crimson light column that was drawing nearer, pondering inwardly.

The chances of her snatching this Evil God's treasure from two strong competitors were not high. But she had to try. Even if she couldn't obtain it, as long as she participated, she could still demand some other compensation from Havel afterward.

With that in mind, Yin Muqing broke through the layer of fog in front of her.

A totally different scene suddenly unfolded before her.

This was a vast black desert.

Each grain of sand in the desert was the size of an average person's fist; it might be more accurate to call them stones.

And in the center of this desert, a three-headed, Six-Armed Elephant Man stood quietly, towering about fifteen meters high.

Its single eye on its forehead was open, spurting an intense red light.

Even from a great distance, Yin Muqing could feel the potent, cold, and evil murderous intent radiating from that gaze.

ROAR!

Perhaps the sudden intrusion of the three people agitated this Elephantman. It raised its six arms and let out an angry roar.

The terrifying sound wave stirred up visible black waves in the desert.

Simultaneously with the roar, the crimson light column behind the Elephantman abruptly vanished.

When it reappeared, the crimson light had transformed into a massive, red axe-light, hewing towards the three of them from afar.

Yin Muqing's pupils reflected the red axe-light slashing through the air. The mere shockwave of its passing was enough to grind the black desert beneath into fine powder.

Her heart pounded. Her two Star Caves activated autonomously, transmitting surging energy, and two bright spots of light quietly emerged on her body.

While raising her knife in a defensive posture, a thought rolled through her mind.

Leave the matter of dividing the treasure aside for now.... Whether the three of them could even snatch the treasure from this Six-Armed Elephant Man... seemed to be a huge question.
