I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Lu Yuan's face was beet red, a cold power ceaselessly flowed into his body, causing him intense pain.

Had it not been for the help of the Extraordinary Spark to resist, that decaying hand would have forcibly merged into his body.

A deep sense of shock arose in his heart. The opponent's head had fallen off, yet it seemed completely unaffected…

"Indeed, this is a bizarre and deceitful creature… It cannot be assessed by ordinary means."

Under the suffocating pain, he kicked up a knocked-over oil lamp like one would kick a shuttlecock, spilling high-temperature flames once again onto the black, decaying arm.

The arm momentarily receded.

Seizing this opportunity, Lu Yuan, like a wild horse, began to flee!

Along the way, he deployed several oil lamps, but they were like fakes, brightly lit yet failing to provide much light.

In the darkness, only the sound of Lu Yuan's frantic running could be heard, the surroundings eerily quiet, so much so that he could hear his own heart beating clearly.

"It possesses the ability of Spatial Teleportation."

"Even if I lure it into the vault, I cannot trap it, it will just teleport away…"

Lu Yuan's whole body was drenched in sweat, sinking into a huge dilemma within a few seconds.

"It's practically invincible."

He had encountered a true calamity on the Pangu Continent.

Only in real combat could the disparity be realized.

Do you really think the Cannibal Flower, Fire Lizard, are enemies of civilization? Impossible.

In the face of true technological civilization, these are mere domesticated creatures!

Do you really think humans cannot defeat them?

A single platoon of heavy firepower would wipe out these extraordinary creatures!!

Only the Hell Demon Spider, with its powerful ability to breed continuously and explode with soldiers, could be considered an enemy of civilization.

Now, there must be an addition… the creature in front of me.

It possessed a Divine Skill, deceitful intelligence, and… growth!

His brain cells working furiously, Lu Yuan racked his brains trying to think of a strategy to defeat the enemy.

"No, I still have a chance."

"Fire, fire can definitely burn it to death!"

"But it must be a vast amount of fire, an unquenchable fire."

Lu Yuan's muscles trembled slightly.

Nervousness, fear, and excitement, a mix of emotions intertwined.

Facing such a terrifying enemy, he still wanted to win.

"I must deceive it."

On the surface, he appeared panicked, like a dying cancer patient on a hospital bed, his entire face pale, even his breathing disordered.

Perhaps the human body is just so, his current reaction couldn't really be considered an act.

But his mind was calm, the best hunter always appears in the guise of prey, everything at this moment was within expectation.

As long as he fled into the vault, everything would be reversed.

"In its eyes, I must seem like a lamb ready for slaughter."

Just then, the burning grease on his body quickly extinguished.

Almost simultaneously, the mechanical sound of "click, click click" gears turning once again echoed from not far away.

This time, a full fifteen arms attacked from the darkness!!

With extreme speed, they precisely grabbed Lu Yuan's limbs and throat.

The number of arms was simply too many, their strength too overpowering, Lu Yuan was completely unable to break free.

"Damn it, it was just probing before! It also hid a trump card!" Lu Yuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but scream in pain.

Of those fifteen arms, two were composed of rotten flesh and bones—arms of the Donkey-headed Monster's actual body.

The remaining thirteen arms had no physical form, like tentacles stretching out from the shadows.

The strength of these shadow arms was astonishingly powerful, cold as ice, endlessly assaulting Lu Yuan's Extraordinary Spark, causing his mind to become hazy.

Even now, activating Different Space was not an option!!

For these arms were attached to him; once Different Space was activated, it would cover the Donkey-headed Monster as well.

Lu Yuan fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, the intense pain slightly restoring his awareness.

At this critical moment of life and death, his flesh felt as though it was being ripped apart, his heartbeat skyrocketed to three hundred beats per minute, like a fish on a chopping block, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape his fate of being slaughtered.

"I understand now… its ability also has limitations…"

"It has to use shadows, or rather darkness, to teleport."

"Once ignited by flames, with the darkness dispelled, it cannot teleport."

"No wonder those wolves seemed like they were controlled by spirit manipulation, actually they were forcibly pulled in by these arms hiding in the shadows…"

Lu Yuan actually still had a chance to break free, as a few of his fingers could still move; if only he could retrieve that basin of steel water from the Storage Space and throw it directly onto the opponent, he might be able to break free.

But there was only one chance.

This was a wise enemy; once it realized he had the ability of the Storage Space, he would never be able to defeat it again.

At its core, this was a gamble between Divine Skills.

The one concealing the "Divine Skill" would gain a tremendous advantage in the endgame.

Lu Yuan had already discovered the other party's three Divine Skills: "Field·Attribute Absorption," "Dark Instantaneous Movement," and "Shadow Tentacles."

He had to admit, these three Divine Skills, when stacked together, were perfectly coordinated and incredibly powerful—far stronger than his scattered and numerous Divine Skills.

Furthermore, considering the other party's unimaginably strong life force…

"Do I really have to reveal my Storage Space?" In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan was still concealing himself.

He wanted to win, not to escape.

There was no fear in Lu Yuan's heart, adrenaline surged in his blood, and he actually felt some pride, believing he was a qualified warrior, having strategized to this extent.

Alright, the Hunter's combative ability wasn't so formidable, after all, the Ninth Epoch had just begun and it hadn't had much time to develop.

Its "Shape" attribute was probably only around 20 points.

And those three terrifying Divine Skills—if they were allowed to grow, how many civilizations would suffer?

But now, Lu Yuan was nearly at his limit, the continuous flow of cold power was entering his body, nearly freezing him solid.

At that moment, the Donkey-headed Monster slowly emerged from Lu Yuan's shadow.

Like a large insect, it gradually climbed onto Lu Yuan's body, and then hung down from above in an eerie posture.

The two gazed at each other.

Suddenly, a black liquid substance started flowing from the sockets of the skull's eyes.

This layer of black liquid, emitting a sinister black light, slowly moved towards Lu Yuan's face.

The strange sound also began racing faster and faster, "Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!"

Pioneer's Eye: "Please be aware, the true form of the Demon is coming at you, apparently attempting to seize your body."

"If you don't think of something, you will become a new Demon. Of course, by then, you won't be yourself anymore."

In that instant, Lu Yuan was terrified!

He was so scared that his soul nearly left his body: "It wants to possess me? It's catching me alive just to take over my body!!"

This realization, even for the strongest of hearts, was enough to unsettle him as cold sweat broke out on Lu Yuan and he found himself immobile.

His entire body was enveloped in a mercury-like darkness, losing control over his body, even unable to blink his eyelids.

"I've lost too many attributes, I might only have seven or eight points left… It's getting stronger, and I'm getting weaker," he thought.

"Is this how I die?" That was the only thought in his mind at that moment.

Losing wasn't unexpected, but it was just a bit regrettable that he hadn't managed to throw the steel water.

Though even if he had thrown it, it probably wouldn't have been much use...

This enemy is really fucking terrifying...

Well, actually, Lu Yuan didn't have many regrets now, as if he had resigned himself to fate, just watching that mass of dark liquid creeping into his nostrils.

"Tap tap tap, tap tap tap!!!" The clockwork, gear-like sound was trembling even more intensely.

It was like it had gone haywire, beating even faster than Lu Yuan's own heart, reaching a thousand beats per minute.

As Lu Yuan listened to this sound, he couldn't help but think of the warning light on Ultraman's chest.

When he was a child watching TV, whenever the "ding dong ding dong" of the warning light sounded, it tensed him up completely, making him wish he could rip the light off—it was a real traitor, wasn't it? Wasn't it just telling the monster to stall for time?!

But now...

Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. Did the "Demon" also have something like a timer similar to Ultraman's?

This sound, besides revealing its location, what purpose did it serve?

It was oddly comical.

Wait a moment…

Suddenly, Lu Yuan's pupils dilated, during this flash of lightning moment, he thought of a possibility!

Since the "tap tap tap" sound revealed the "Demon's" position.

Why wouldn't the "Demon" think of eliminating it?

With its deceitful intelligence, didn't it know that the "tap tap tap" would be a hindrance during battle?

Originally, with its ability to teleport instantly, it could attack silently; now with this added sound, the success rate of a sneak attack was greatly reduced.

But regardless, this "tap tap tap" really existed, and during the recent fight, it had provided some minor help.

There was only one reason: the source of the sound was possibly a potential ally.

This potential ally, seeing that Old Lu was about to be possessed, grew increasingly frantic, thus the "tap tap tap" sped up more and more.

No more time to think, Lu Yuan didn't know if he was being fanciful…

He was completely immobilized, but as a last resort, he entered into a state of meditation.

They say that before people die, a hormonal imbalance in the brain always produces some hallucinations.

"Tap tap tap! Tap tap tap!!"

The dense "tap tap tap" echoed in his mind, exceeding three thousand times a minute.

The sound was like bullets from a Gatling gun crazily firing into his brain, stirring up the calm lake into a stormy sea like Nezha stirring the sea.

Lu Yuan was instantly blasted into a daze, his soul in unbearable pain.

"Pfft!"

A stream of warm blood gushed from his nostrils.

But then, something miraculous happened: the cold, rigid feeling left his body.

The Extraordinary Spark was released from its suppressed state.
