The war has ended, and Lu Yu took advantage of the lull following its conclusion to set out for distant lands in search of the polar extremes of ice and fire, hoping to solve his own troubles through them.
Whoosh~ A rainbow streaked across the sky, suddenly shaking violently, and finally crashed into the dense forest below.
Lu Yu crawled out of the crater, opened his clothes to check his body, and found that everything below his left shoulder had turned into a rainbow color, showing signs of becoming energy-fied.
Rolling up his pants leg, his calf had completely become a rainbow color, and the colorful energy erosion was spreading toward his thigh.
His torso also had areas where rainbow-colored spots appeared, but he had used the Great Annihilation Finger to erase large patches of these spots, at the cost of having many patches of lifeless flesh appear on his body.
The only piece of somewhat good news was that Lu Yu's head had not yet been eroded by the colorful energy and he could maintain his mental acuity, although he was uncertain how long he could retain his rationality amidst the pain of this erosion.
Perhaps in the next moment, he might go mad due to the pain as if being sliced to death.
Standing straight, he leaped forcefully, with sporadic bursts of spiritual power propelling him up, struggling to keep his body suspended in the air. Lu Yu identified the direction and flew there in a rainbow arc.
The direction was easy to discern; the colorful energy was affecting the flow of spiritual power within him, making the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step rainbow light turn colorful, leaving traces in the air that lingered for some time before disappearing.
By recognizing the destructive aftermath he had left upon his fall and the traces of colorful rainbow light in the sky, he could tell the direction he came from. Knowing where he came from, he only needed to focus on the direction he intended to go.
Whoosh~ The wind roared past his ears, with spiritual power intermittently supplying the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step to maintain his speed in flying in a rainbow arc.
Should the erosion worsen any further, even flying would become an arduous task, Lu Yu realized this.
His flying speed had slowed down considerably, and he occasionally fell due to the erosion of colorful energy, so he desperately hurried along while he could still fly.
He couldn't use a spiritual treasure flying ship as a substitute for flying; the power of colorful energy would erode any spiritual treasure below divine-grade levels.
Tap~ A figure stepped out from the forest, it was Lu Yu who had left An Nan City three days ago. His appearance now seemed a bit ragged, with clothes that were completely tattered.
Due to the erosion of colorful energy, the spiritual armor on him had turned into ordinary clothing, having already become rather shabby after the rushed journey and battles over the course of three days.
Lu Yu didn't plan to change clothes; until he could eliminate the colorful energy, even the best spiritual armor would turn to scrap metal.
Standing on the cliff top, Lu Yu gazed far off toward the peaks. After three days, he had finally arrived at his destination.
During these three days, he hadn't stopped to rest for even a minute, constantly hurrying, fighting, and fleeing.
"Triple Peak…" Lu Yu stared at the mountains nestled within the dense forest ahead, lost in thought. He couldn't see the three stacked peaks.
Comparing with the map in his mind, the location was definitely correct, and the distance from An Nan City was accurate. The position where he currently stood was less than a hundred miles from the location of Triple Peak.
Standing atop the mountain peak, Lu Yu could see the scenery within a hundred miles. Perhaps not very clearly, but certainly not so indistinct as to fail to recognize the unique Triple Peak.
Staring at the towering peaks within this area and the lush trees and grasses on them, Lu Yu wondered whether the dense foliage was obscuring the features of Triple Peak.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu no longer hesitated, leaping off the cliff, using the protuberant rocks to reduce his speed as he descended to the forest hundreds of meters below.
Since he couldn't identify which peak was the one he sought with his naked eye, he decided to search and observe each peak.
A day later, Lu Yu had examined all the peaks within the hundred-mile range, discovering that the peak before him was the most likely candidate for Triple Peak.
He found that the soil of this peak was distributed in three layers, with three vastly different types of soil appearing on the same mountain. This made Lu Yu somewhat suspicious.
Lu Yu climbed to the summit and piled up the three types of soil he had excavated: red soil, black soil, and white soil.
"Does it have any significance?"
Lu Yu carefully sensed the unique properties within the soil and found that the red soil tended toward the fire element, containing more fire Spiritual Qi.
The lower part of this peak was a red-soil land, where many fire-element plants grew.
The black soil leaned toward the ice element, containing more ice Spiritual Qi, and the midsection of the peak was a black-soil land, where many cold-element plants grew.
The white soil did not have a clear spiritual attribute inclination, but the volume of Spiritual Qi contained within far exceeded that of red and black soil. If something had to be said as special, it should be its vitality.
The white soil contained weak Vitality Power, and the plants growing on it were lush and vibrant, full of life force.
"What's the use?" Although he figured out the unique characteristics of the soil, Lu Yu was still puzzled.
"Fire, ice, vitality... fire, ice, vitality..." Lu Yu's mind continuously pondered these words, he reached out and released fire spiritual power, transforming it into flames that burned the red soil.
An astonishing phenomenon occurred, as the soil actually caught fire. Could soil burn?
Lu Yu took advantage by infusing the icy energy created by his ice spiritual power into the black soil, causing black and blue crystals to form inside, continuously releasing cold energy.
Flames and cold energy collided with each other, transforming into white mist that rose to the sky.
