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

"What kind of shitty ally is this, trying to kill me?"

Lu Yuan let out a roar from his throat, miraculously regaining a bit of control over his body from the shock, as veins bulged all over him!

Light Screen!

The energy from the Extraordinary Spark, barely held back that glob of sticky black liquid trying to seep into his nostrils.

"It won't hold for a few seconds."

While he could still move his fingers, he had to expose his "Storage Space" and douse the opponent with flames to escape the current predicament.

Otherwise, he would die immediately!

Not only would he die, his physical body would remain in the world, bringing disaster to humanity...

"Damn it, I have to survive first... let me give you a basin of steel water first!"

Just as he was about to make his move, his ears twitched, hearing that "Wuluwu" sound and the "splashing" footsteps!

In that critical moment, Old Wolf actually dashed into the field with a Fire Bowl in its mouth, brutally crashing into the Donkey-headed Monster!

"Awoo!"

A large amount of fuel ignited on the ground once again, burning Old Wolf as well.

The several diagonally long shadow arms, weakened by the firelight, significantly decreased in strength.

"Old buddy, you're damn reliable indeed!"

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, not missing this chance, he roared and broke free from the binding.

He kicked a skeleton off his body into the flames.

"Tap tap tap~" The bouncing sounds slowed down a bit.

"Awoo, awoo!" Old Wolf's tail caught fire, emitting a smell of roasted meat.

Lu Yuan immediately grabbed Old Wolf, who was frantically rolling on the ground on fire, and with the Superior dagger, quickly shaved off its burning fur.

Old Wolf felt a chilling sensation all over, thinking its butt had been sliced off, collapsed paralyzed on the ground, continuously howling.

Am I dead?

"Awoo!"

"Get moving! You damn thing, why are you lying there!!" Lu Yuan had no time to coddle him, kicking him hard in his shaved butt.

"Get lost!"

Bald in a large patch, Old Wolf "Awoo" and realized it wasn't dead, and ran quickly toward where its wife and kids were.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan sprinted toward the treasury in the opposite direction.

The darkness behind him intensified again, and the "tap tap tap" sound resumed.

This time, however, it allowed Lu Yuan to successfully make it to the treasury that was so close.

He used all his strength to close the alloy door!

The heavy door's pulleys scraped against the track beneath, emitting a horrifying metal scraping noise.

The next moment, he found that "tap tap tap" sound suddenly appearing right behind him, and his nose smelled a rotten odor.

"Roar!"

The door was nearly closed at the same time.

"The opponent teleported into the treasury!"

That "tap tap tap" sound seemed like it was really from an ally, always chiming in the instant the "Demon" teleported, providing him with cues.

Lu Yuan swiftly lunged forward.

The opponent's attack missed.

Perhaps because the space was narrow, he crashed directly into the wall, his left leg heavily pushing off the wall, the dagger swung back and struck something, and a foul liquid splashed onto the leather shield.

Lu Yuan felt the intense darkness become stickier again, and his eyes nearly stopped functioning.

It wouldn't take a second before he would be caught again.

However, Lu Yuan chuckled quietly, "I already know the opponent's four Divine Skills, 'Attribute Absorption,' 'Dark Instantaneous Movement,' 'Shadow Tentacles,' along with the Possession Ability..."

"Its ultimate goal is to take over my body."

"Its current body is too poor, severely affecting its combativeness."

"But now, it's my turn!"

All the cells in Lu Yuan's body trembled, not knowing if it was due to excessive tension or unexplainable excitement.

His Sixth Sense started to wildly send out warnings!

Immediately after, he heard that "tap tap tap" sound once again appearing in front of him.

The Demon attacked again!

"Divine Skill... Storage Space."

Lu Yuan had finally waited for this moment, slid open his Storage Space, grabbed a basin of steel water, and ferociously splashed it toward the direction of the sound!

The golden gleaming steel water declared his fiercest counterattack!

"Welcome to Hell on Earth!"

The next second, the entire treasury turned into a sea of flames!

Lu Yuan quickly threw out most of the torches from the Storage Space!

The fire spread like a fierce storm, violently unstoppable, sweeping through the entire space!

His nose smelled a burning stench, his Fire Lizard Suit emitted a faint glow, provided by the "High Temperature Resistance" ability.

But the Donkey-headed Monster that got splashed with steel water had no emotions in its eyes, just staring strangely at Lu Yuan.

"Tap tap tap."

A dense darkness appeared all around it, seemingly trying to extinguish the flames.

Lu Yuan held his breath, clenched his teeth, and stepped forward to swing his dagger.

"Can I let you extinguish the fire?"

He was still hiding.

He was hiding his "Different Space"!

The heat capable of melting steel made the air twist in patterns of light and darkness.

The environmental temperature escalated at a rate of a hundred degrees per second, filling the small space with massive amounts of golden light.

The brightly lit environment limited the "Donkey-headed Monster's" ability to teleport and its capacity for shadowy assaults, forcing them now into hand-to-hand combat.

In a cramped room, amidst hellish fires, a battle between man and monster turned into a fundamental, flesh-and-bone brawl.

"My attribute levels are too low now."

"But my weight is much higher than the opponent's... and I have resistance to high temperatures..."

"My body is stronger than the opponent's as well."

"I'll chop off all the flesh on your body."

Lu Yuan's eyes gleamed viciously as he charged forward.

The speed of the demon was like a haunting specter.

But the "clack clack clack" sound was always somewhat faster than the demon's movements.

Even though the opponent's attributes far surpassed Lu Yuan's, he could still contend with it thanks to that sound.

With a crisp "crash", his dagger once again severed a bone.

Subsequently, Lu Yuan found his own neck was also grasped.

This time, the force was much greater than before; it seemed his opponent no longer intended to possess him but only to quickly kill him and then escape this living hell.

The decaying teeth viciously clamped down!

Lu Yuan ducked his head, and his sturdy leather coat was bitten into, leaving a gash.

As the coat was compromised, the Fire Lizard Suit could no longer hold up, and Lu Yuan felt his whole body carbonizing. His fingers flipped, pulling out a basin of molten steel from his Storage Space and splashing it onto the monster.

"Splash!"

Molten steel spattered onto Lu Yuan as well, scalding him so severely that he momentarily lost sensation in parts of his skin.

Looking down, he saw his boots had begun to burn.

As the flames grew, the air became hotter and hotter, turning the small vault into a literal fiery hell.

The "High Temperature Resistance" of the Fire Lizard Suit was completely overwhelmed.

Lu Yuan dared not breathe, bursting forth with ferocity, and kicked towards his opponent's head covered in molten steel.

The Donkey-headed Monster took the kick, its head covered in molten steel, but it suffered no serious damage.

Compared to its other bones, that skull was indeed at the peak of hardness.

Yet those lifeless eyes continued to look at Lu Yuan, still incredibly cold.

It swung a heavy fist, aiming for Lu Yuan's face.

"Clack, clack, clack!"

Lu Yuan immediately used his shield, blocking in the direction of the sound.

The strike was powerful and heavy, tossing him forcefully back against a metal door, causing the Fire Lizard coat to emit a scent of scorching.

"Come on!! Ha-ha, you're getting weaker, come on!"

Lu Yuan let out a bestial roar, using the rebound force and enduring the burning sensation over his body as he charged again.

In the confined space, it was difficult to dodge.

The two collided, rolling up against the fiery red wall.

The Donkey-headed Monster's already burning ribs, along with that spine, were shattered.

Even split in two, its upper body could still move!

Those hollow eyes stared coldly; all its abilities were suppressed, but its Life Force was still much stronger than Lu Yuan's.

It ceased its assaults, simply watching quietly as Lu Yuan died—as it had watched countless strong beings die, some bravely facing their end for the sake of civilization, but it always had the last laugh.

Mere flesh, how could it compete?

You will soon be burnt to death.

And I will be able to escape, to take over another body once more.

Yes, Lu Yuan was indeed at his limit…

This lightning-quick fight had lasted only seconds…

He felt himself about to combust.

The terrifying high temperature turned the surrounding concrete red-hot, like magma rolling down in clumps.

The in-built "High Temperature Resistance" of the equipment also reached its limit.

And yet, Lu Yuan was smiling.

Having fought in this hell for so long, sacrificing blood for blood, he still hoped to force out more Divine Skills from his opponent.

As of now, none had been displayed. There probably were none left…

Truly, none left…

The Fire Lizard's Fuel Crystals, containing the unique Idealistic element, burned extraordinarily vigorously and didn't need much oxygen.

This room's oxygen could sustain burning for a long time.

Even if the opponent possessed a Dark Domain, this flame was too fierce and cruel inside the enclosed space, like Lord Lao Zi's Alchemy Furnace, capable of reducing even rocks to slag!

Having shattered the opponent's spine, Lu Yuan's plan had succeeded; this living purgatory was truly beyond his capability.

He coldly smirked as he revealed his final trump card.

"Divine Skill: Different Space!"

High-level battles were about the gamble of "Divine Skills," about concealing information, about outwitting each other.

Lu Yuan deeply, truly felt this.

In these final moments, he disappeared into the ocean of flames.

Leaving only the Donkey-headed Monster burning fiercely amidst a dazzling light.
