Others step on the water, walking on water.
Lu Yu steps on fire, walking on lava.
With Lu Yu's strength, he reaches near the volcano's mouth in an instant.
The Wuxiang realm demon seems to realize that the flame Heaven and Earth Law can't harm Lu Yu much and changes its strategy.
The firelight vanishes, the earth trembles.
Lu Yu suddenly feels his body weighs tens of thousands of tons, unable to stop falling down despite repeatedly stepping through space.
Though unable to extend his senses or use the power of Heaven and Earth, at this moment, Lu Yu understands something.
This is gravity suppression.
A glimpse of excitement flashes in his eyes; he didn't expect the demon's specialty in two Heaven and Earth Laws, both of which he commands.
This means Lu Yu's gains will far exceed expectations.
Bam! Lu Yu crashes to the ground, just as he intends to leverage towards the demon's main body; unexpectedly, the ground instantly turns into a swamp, engulfing him.
The earth is like a giant millstone, with Lu Yu being the grain caught within it, as the stone turns, its immense force aims to grind him into powder.
Submerged in the earth, Lu Yu feels an enormous power acting upon him.
This power's direction, angle, and magnitude change every moment, without a trace of pattern, offering no chance for Lu Yu to adapt.
The earth's millstone turns, continuously eroding Lu Yu's body, under tremendous force, Lu Yu's body bursts with remarkable spiritual light.
That is a sign his personal defense has been breached.
Lu Yu's defense and the millstone's attack are in a stalemate, as his ravaged defense turns into spiritual light, flowing out and being absorbed by the millstone, making it even stronger.
Feeling the omnidirectional tearing, squeezing, crushing forces... Lu Yu astonishingly chooses to release his defense under such circumstances.
As the spiritual light converges, his skin bursts open in large patches, his body covered in blood wounds.
The scars keep layering, Lu Yu's injuries worsen, but the look on his face becomes more excited.
He's actually using the earth's millstone for Body Refinement!
In such a terrifying offensive, Lu Yu not only doesn't opt for escape but harnesses the enemy's power for Body Refinement.
Lu Yu possesses alarming resilience and adaptability; with each recovery from injury, his strength grows stronger.
With Lu Yu's current prowess, it's already difficult to find a suitable place for Body Refinement.
Too weak a force fails to achieve Body Refinement effect, too strong a force is Heaven and Earth Power, the Power of Laws, directly attacking the core.
It's utterly unusable for Body Refinement, as even a minor mistake could cause grave core damage, taking ages to recover.
To encounter a high realm demon whose attack acts upon the flesh is rare.
Not treasuring this opportunity, even the heavens wouldn't forgive him.
The Wuxiang realm demon doesn't know Lu Yu's intention; it only senses Lu Yu's exceptional resilience.
In its perception, Lu Yu's aura is extremely weak, could die anytime, yet this weak aura persists, never extinguishing.
The demon isn't anxious; this is its domain, its world, it makes no sense to exhaust itself against Lu Yu in its own domain.
The demon's not anxious, Lu Yu's even less anxious; what he needs most now is time.
His prowess enhances moment by moment; the more time, the greater his strength grows.
Moreover, he feels his insights into the power of the earth are on the verge of breakthrough, about to enter a new realm.
Enduring the earth's oppression, Lu Yu's never been so close to the earth, never felt so much of it.
His mind and body gradually blend with the earth, his aura assimilating with it.
This is why the demon perceived Lu Yu's aura as weaker, yet never disappearing.
Not knowing how much time has passed, Lu Yu no longer feels the earth's pressure, tearing, grinding.
For he is the earth, and the earth is him.
Lu Yu lies within the heart of the earth, opening his eyes, the ground trembles, as if coming alive.
The Wuxiang realm demon's heart shakes violently, not understanding what happened, hurriedly tries to control the earth, only to find it's occupied by another force, unable to control it.
A throne formed from indestructible Obsidian slowly rises from the earth's heart, and Lu Yu sits on it, viewing the demon atop the mountain peak.
In front of him, a bright yellow star, with scenery inside identical to this land's.
As if it's a miniature version of this land.
The Wuxiang realm demon stares at Lu Yu, face pale, trying to marshal the entire world's power to annihilate Lu Yu.
It can no longer gauge Lu Yu's prowess and realm, but the sense of danger tells it Lu Yu is perilous.
Lu Yu watches it quietly, seeing its astonished face due to losing control of this land, he smiles slightly, saying, "Forgot to tell you, not just the earth, I've taken over this land too."
"Now, this is my world, my domain," Lu Yu declares to the world.
The Wuxiang realm demon can't comprehend this change, for no one has ever taken a Wuxiang realm's small world before.
Let alone seizing one, most Wuxiang realm beings would avoid entering another's small world, fearing complete suppression.
Like Lu Yu, sparring while seizing another's small world, this has never happened.
