Chapter Thirty-Three: The Locusts That Devour Time
The gaze carried an evaluative meaning, as if trying to uncover some clue about him, to find his origins.
Though this gaze did not carry malice, the will within it was extremely powerful, surpassing the strength typical of an awakened individual.
Morning Star?
A fleeting thought crossed Lu Yu’s mind, but it didn’t affect his judgment. He quickly understood the other person’s intentions.
This gaze was a show of authority—a test to see if he was worthy to speak!
“Hmph!”
Lu Yu let out a soft cold hum, and the shadow energy around him began to fluctuate. His passive ability, Time Protection, was also activated!
Time Protection: Can block divination, fortune-telling, spying, and other similar abilities, concealing one’s traces.
Being connected to one of the supreme laws—Time—although a passive skill, was far from cheap. In fact, its functionality was incredibly strong. At least, it would allow him to change his “mask” freely without fear of being discovered!
“Eh!”
The white-haired man with the fox mask let out a confused sound. In his eyes, Lu Yu, now wrapped in shadow, became even more unfathomable. His aura transformed into something intangible, like...
Something formless and intangible!
As his gaze deepened, the white-haired man felt the world in front of him begin to shift. A mysterious, distant aura spread out, carrying an ancient meaning that cleverly fused with this new era.
This strange change stirred the white-haired man’s curiosity, causing his gaze to grow even more intense.
But in that moment, Time Protection activated.
With a wave of heat, a mysterious pattern appeared on the back of Lu Yu’s hand, hidden beneath his yellow robes. A golden locust, the size of a fingertip, crawled out from the pattern!
It resembled a locust, but its entire body was golden, and each antenna and limb was exquisitely crafted, like the work of the finest artist.
The only difference was its compound eyes, which looked like they were made of countless faceted, sparkling diamonds, radiating a silent, mesmerizing light!
Countless images flickered in the compound eyes, then shattered like bubbles, repeating over and over.
In just a few seconds, he had lost several months of his life!
Such horror!
Escape! I must escape!
Otherwise, I will surely die!
The white-haired man made a snap decision, abandoning part of his consciousness and breaking free.
But the backlash still struck his mind, causing his blood to surge and his head to spin. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood!
Pfft!
Crimson blood spilled onto the ground, blooming into a blood-red flower—beautiful yet eerie.
“Master!”
The man in the geisha mask roared, his body expanding further, growing over three metres tall. His eyes turned fierce, glaring at Lu Yu like a savage beast, ready to charge and crush Lu Yu to bits!
“Ghost Bear, no disrespect!”
The white-haired man barked sharply, calming the enraged giant, who nodded in submission.
“Understood, Master!”
The white-haired man wiped the blood from his mouth, stood, and respectfully bowed. He looked at Lu Yu with the same reverence in his eyes and said humbly:
“Greetings, my lord!”
The Time Locust!
The ancient aura!
The mysterious shadowy veil!
All these factors combined made the white-haired man instantly realize.
The person before him was absolutely a major figure!
