Chapter 741: Good Luck, Can't Help It

"Kid, don't be so arrogant!"

Looking at the smug expression of the person outside, Shen Yu felt a bit of anger rising in his heart.

Did they really think he couldn't break this broken Barrier? He wasn't acting only to save them some face.

Although he thought this, Shen Yu also understood that breaking this place wasn't easy; at the very least, it definitely wasn't easy for him alone.

He had just tried it, and his conventional force simply couldn't shake it.

Moreover, according to the other party, if he were to forcibly break the formation and get out, it would likely cause massive casualties; even if it didn't leave a ten-thousand-mile radius barren, it certainly wouldn't be much better.

This made things complicated. Thinking of the trump cards in his hand, he had Dong Yu's Puppet, the Temporary Experience Card, and more; various trump cards flashed through his mind.

Finally, Shen Yu's gaze locked onto the "Luck Halo" he had just obtained earlier.

Honestly, this thing was ridiculously powerful. Once worn, one's luck would be so good it was friendless.

That kind of luck meant that if you went out to buy a bottle of water, you'd win the grand prize, and if you helped an old man on the street, he would turn out to be the richest person in the world—the kind who had no relatives, was terminally ill, and was just looking for someone to entrust their fortune to.

It was just that he didn't know if wearing it in his current predicament could help him find a way out of a desperate situation.

Right now, he didn't seem to have a better choice.

Putting the Luck Halo on, Shen Yu instantly felt as if his body were different; his hearing and vision were sharp, and his body felt fantastic.

Of course, this was just an illusion; in reality, his cultivation and body had not improved or changed in the slightest.

The cultivation within his body was still flowing away continuously; he felt as if there were changes, yet it seemed as if nothing had changed at all.

Is this broken thing actually useful or not!

"Shen Yu, Lord Shen, your power should rightfully belong to me; this place will be your grave."

"Don't worry, I will make good use of your cultivation. You can go in peace!"

Seeing Shen Yu standing inside no longer struggling, the smile on the young man's face could no longer be suppressed, and he even nearly chuckled out loud.

Everything was going so smoothly; soon, this world's number one strength would belong to him.

Although this "world's number one" had some water in it, and he didn't know if it would be effective against those awakened old monsters, it was still the highest combat power he could access.

Once he absorbed his power, he would have enough strength to protect himself.

At that time, he would then target those awakened old monsters and plunder their power one by one.

He imagined that it wouldn't take long before he would be invincible in the world.

A ten-thousand-foot tower rises from the ground; his grand cause for the ages would also set sail from today!

"Hahaha!" At the thought of this, he could no longer control himself and began to laugh loudly, as if he had already seen that day.

Countless experts would grovel at his feet; he could take beauties and power whenever he wanted, and give them away whenever he pleased.

Just thinking about it felt wonderful, and that day was not far off!

"Crack!" Just at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came to his ears, which also brought him back from his illusions.

Looking up, he saw that several cracks had appeared on the Barrier that had been operating continuously.

Moreover, these cracks seemed to be getting larger, as if a gap could burst open at any moment.

"How could this happen!"

This terrifying scene made the young man panic instantly; he hadn't even seen Shen Yu make a move, so how could the Barrier he relied on for his life and livelihood develop cracks?

Which part had gone wrong? How could this be? This wasn't scientific.

Before the young man could step forward to remedy it, the perfect Barrier that had been operating suddenly seemed to develop a gap in an instant.

It was precisely this moment that allowed Shen Yu to see an opportunity, and he stepped out of the Barrier through the gap.

After coming out, Shen Yu couldn't help but look back.

At this time, the Barrier had recovered and began to operate perfectly again, as if the gap from just a moment ago had only been an illusion.

However, Shen Yu had already escaped from within.

"A bit interesting!"

He hadn't done anything just now; after putting on the Luck Halo, he had just waited to see what would change.

Facts proved that while it looked like nothing had changed, this broken thing seemed to have no effect at all.

But in reality, the Barrier that could have trapped him to death had inexplicably developed a crack, letting him see an opportunity and step right out.

Throughout the whole process, he hadn't even used a shred of cultivation, nor did he need to struggle blindly; he had walked out with ease.

And as soon as he stepped out with his front foot, the Barrier behind him returned to normal.

To have luck so explosive that even this Barrier could develop a problem on its own—this Luck Halo was truly freakishly friendless; being the "favored son of heaven" really wasn't just talk.

"You, you, this, how could this happen..."

"When luck comes, you can't stop it even if you want to. My luck is good, I can't help it. As for you!"

Looking at the other party coldly, Shen Yu walked toward him step by step.

Watching Shen Yu walk toward him, the young man couldn't help but retreat a few steps, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground.

This makes no sense; has this broken thing been damaged after being used for too long?

This is a scam!

"Lord Shen, I, I, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?" Giving the other party a faint look, Shen Yu walked directly past him.

As the two crossed paths, the other party's body shattered on the spot, turning into fly ash.

Not even flesh and blood remained, leaving only a pile of dregs.

"Me killing you is also a misunderstanding. Look, you couldn't hold on yourself, who can you blame!"

After killing the other party, Shen Yu also incidentally obtained the control method for the Barrier, as well as the methods to set it up and destroy it.

Integrating these into his own Mountain and River Map could further increase the power of the Mountain and River Map.

With a wave of his hand, he incidentally finished off the old monster inside who still had one breath left.

A perfect Barrier that even came with an old monster as a bonus; killing two birds with one stone, I really have this God of Wealth to thank!

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained an all-around improvement in cultivation realm!"

As a beam of light extending from an unknown source enveloped Shen Yu, the cultivation power within his body began to boil in an instant.

Every part of his body, from inside to out, from spirit to cultivation, from soul to flesh, seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

Endless Spirit Qi swarmed over, forming a massive vortex on the spot.

For a time, within a radius of tens of thousands of miles centered on Shen Yu, one could see the world changing color as if it were the end of days, with gale-force winds suddenly rising.

And the next moment, Shen Yu's aura surged, spiritual pressure rolled wildly, and it rushed straight into the clouds in a mighty torrent.

Under Shen Yu's aura, the world fell into a momentary silence; time seemed to stop, and an oppressive, terrifying aura like death echoed in the space, weighing down on everyone's hearts.

It was a terrifying aura that made one only able to look up in awe, as if the owner of this aura only needed to have a single thought for everyone to be crushed to death by it.

What was even more terrifying was that this aura was still growing crazily, as if there were no end to it.

At the same time, Shen Yu's heart throbbed like a great drum, and every heartbeat seemed to make the surrounding ground shake.

Life seemed to undergo a transformation at this moment, and his entire being—whether it was his cultivation realm or his martial techniques and Martial Arts—was improving crazily.

This grand prize the system gave out of the blue was truly terrifyingly powerful; of course, perhaps it was also the Luck Halo he was wearing that played a role.

In the distance, an old man looking toward the direction of the city felt the suddenly appearing terrifying aura and could not help but jerk his head up.

Yet, facing such a terrifying aura, not only was he not the least bit nervous, but he instead revealed a faint smile, which he quickly suppressed before turning and walking silently toward the outside.
