82: Big catch!

Although the Earth Demon King hadn't comprehended the Hand of Earth skill, his siblings all knew it.

It was practically the Earth Demon's signature skill, so how could Lu Yu, a Golden Eagle, also know it?!

This was simply impossible!

However, no matter how much he disbelieved, the fact was right before his eyes.

Lu Yu could truly use a skill belonging to their Earth Demon race, leaving no room for him to refute!

The Earth Demon King's face was extremely grim. He suddenly tightened his grip on the thick earth pillar in front of him, using all four fingers and his arms to try and forcibly break it apart.

As soon as he tried, he started sweating profusely from his forehead due to his extreme weakness, and his thick arms trembled uncontrollably as if cramping, forcing him to give up.

The Earth Demon King knew very well that the Hand of Earth skill had little offensive power, but its binding ability was astonishing.

With his current strength and condition, he absolutely could not break free.

Then he seemed to think of something terrifying, and his face turned frighteningly pale.

Lu Yu used their Earth Demon race's unique Hand of Earth; didn't that mean Lu Yu could learn skills from other races, or learn those skills through some method?!

If that were true, it would explain why he had mastered so many completely unrelated skills!

It might also explain why his skills suddenly became terrifyingly powerful!

The more he thought about it, the more terrified the Earth Demon King became.

If Lu Yu could control the skills of other races without limit, what kind of monster would he eventually become? It was simply unimaginable!

As thoughts churned in his mind, Lu Yu's attacks rained down like a storm!

He had no intention of explaining anything to the Earth Demon King.

He just wanted to strike while he was down!

This time, facing Lu Yu's attacks, the Earth Demon King didn't react at all. After truly understanding Lu Yu's terror and power, his heart was already enveloped by despair.

His heart had died.

Rumble!

Like a grand fireworks display, under Lu Yu's tidal wave of attacks, the ground continuously shook, and the earth where the Earth Demon King stood completely caved in, forming an unfathomably deep, dark abyss.

His body was blasted into pieces, some stained with ice crystals, others covered in cuts from sharp blades, and he no longer had any breath of life.

Only then did Lu Yu truly breathe a sigh of relief.

The difficulty of Tier B Ferocious Beasts was truly beyond his expectations, but the outcome was finally good!

This Tier B Earth Demon King had finally died by his hand!

He glanced at the scattered Earth Demon King's corpse, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

This was a Tier B Ferocious Beast!

The evolution points gained after absorbing it would definitely not be comparable to a Tier C Ferocious Beast, as the difference between the two was simply too great.

Each time he upgraded his various skills before, it cost 1000 evolution points, causing his accumulated 10,000 evolution points to drop directly to 5,000.

He still had a long way to go to reach the 100,000 evolution points needed to break through to Tier A.

It all depended on how much the Tier B Ferocious Beast could provide.

Immediately, Lu Yu took a deep breath, then activated the system, quickly absorbing the Earth Demon King's corpse.

[Congratulations on gaining 10,000 evolution points! Current remaining evolution points: 15,000!]

When he heard the system's voice, Lu Yu was slightly stunned, not expecting a single Tier B Ferocious Beast to provide such a massive amount of evolution points!

It was important to note that since he broke through to Tier B, he had only accumulated a little over 10,000 evolution points until just now, and that was with his subordinate ferocious beasts collectively hunting for him.

And now, one Tier B Ferocious Beast was equivalent to the evolution points he had worked so hard to collect over these past few days!

At this moment, Lu Yu had a thought of wanting to fight ten of them!

However, he also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

Other ferocious beasts didn't have a cheat like him.

At most, they had special bloodlines and strong luck.

They still needed a certain amount of time to develop steadily, break through to Tier B, and become the most flourishing 'leeks' for him to harvest.

What Lu Yu didn't know was that his elimination of the Tier B Earth Demon King not only caused an uproar among humans but also triggered an unprecedented earthquake among ferocious beasts!

For Tier C Ferocious Beasts with considerable intelligence, defeating other ferocious beasts of the same tier was already quite rare.

And trying to kill a ferocious beast of the same tier, regardless of the level, was extremely difficult.

Especially when cultivating to higher realms, everyone had endless methods and tenacious vitality, making it almost impossible for those of the same tier to kill each other.

However, now, Lu Yu, this Golden Eagle, was the first to break this iron rule, relying on his own strength to kill the Earth Demon King, who was also Tier B.

This meant that even if they broke through to Tier B, they would still be firmly suppressed by Lu Yu.

Moreover, if they provoked Lu Yu and were targeted by him, there was even a risk of falling!

For a time, many ferocious beasts decided to temporarily curb their ambition, waiting until they broke through to Tier B before finding ways to improve themselves or counter Lu Yu.

Which ferocious beast, qualified to challenge Tier B so early in this era, would be willing to be subservient to other ferocious beasts?!

After this battle, Lu Yu was almost remembered by those top-tier ferocious beasts, and they also began to study his skills and research ways to deal with him... Lu Yu at this time did not know that his global reputation was gradually starting to rise.

This had its pros and cons, but Lu Yu was not concerned about these for now.

Instead, he was expectantly staring at the system interface.

This Earth Demon King had quite a few skills, and many of them made Lu Yu envious.

Especially the Earth Armor, which provided an all-around boost and self-armament, allowing for both offense and defense, practically a divine skill.

The incomplete [Annihilation] he later used was also a skill Lu Yu valued, but he clearly hadn't fully mastered it.

Although its power was immense, its consumption was truly terrifying.

Under Lu Yu's expectant gaze, a prompt appeared on the system interface.

[Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Earth Armor!]

Earth Armor LV1: Draws Earth Qi to comprehensively boost all attributes by 30%. Duration depends on Earth Qi. If Earth Qi is depleted, the armored state will be immediately exited.

Upon seeing this skill, Lu Yu's heart almost leaped out of his chest with excitement.

It could comprehensively boost all attributes by 30%, and this was only the increase at LV1; if upgraded, it would undoubtedly be even more terrifying!

None of the skills he currently possessed were similar to Earth Armor, capable of comprehensively enhancing his strength.

With this skill, he now had burst damage, defense, single-target core breaking, area-of-effect attacks, and stealthy ambush skills... He was a perfect hexagon, impeccable.

This Earth Demon King truly gave him a great gift. Lu Yu was very excited, feeling that all his hard work today was worth it!

With Earth Armor in hand, dealing with a Tier B Ferocious Beast like the Earth Demon King would be much simpler!
