Chapter 178: The Bloody Battle Begins!

The demon Luo was originally a normal person.

Because of possessing twin star souls, I boldly want to try taking two different paths with each body and then merging them together to see what will happen!

Therefore, after his split, the two bodies took completely different paths.

A path leads towards the pinnacle of humanity!

It is said that the first Demon Ancestor was once a human, but no one has become a Demon Ancestor since then!

A body of Luo Mo was going through a vast amount of records and even traveling along the paths said to have been walked by the Demon Ancestor in ancient times, attempting to find even a trace of the Demon Ancestor from those days.

Finally, Luo Mo spent a century preparing and ultimately achieved his demonic body!

However, this path was not the one walked by the Demon Ancestor, but rather another path leading to becoming a demon.

The path of the demonic body relies on slaughter and consumption, an extremely aggressive route that, although rare even among demons, offers rapid power enhancement.

According to a demonic legend, demons originate from humans. If one indulges in excessive slaughter, they may lose their sanity and eventually become a frenzied demon.

In less than five hundred years, the demonic body reached the stage of a false Demon Lord.

In the demon race, this body is already a being with a high possibility of becoming the next-generation mine controller! Among humans, this demonic form has become a ravenous fiend, leaving desolation in its wake, withered lands stretching a thousand miles and all living things vanishing without a trace!

The body advancing toward the pinnacle of humanity grew stronger continuously, eventually reaching the peak of the ninth level, and became a well-known expert among humans.

The cultivation of the human body is slow. After reaching the peak of the ninth level, there is no further progress, the body begins to decline from its peak, and aging starts.

The most significant difference between the demon race and humans is their longer lifespan and much slower aging process.

After five hundred years of cultivating the Demon Body, he reached the stage of False Demon Lord. In the following two hundred years, he achieved the peak of the Demon Body’s power, yet still could not become a true Demon.

At this moment, the demonic body had accumulated too much slaughter, causing it to become mentally unstable at times, recklessly killing without restraint, while at other times regaining lucidity, though its power fluctuated unpredictably.

Lu Mo couldn’t wait any longer, fearing that one day his demonic body would become uncontrollable and turn into a frenzied demon. Therefore, Lu Mo chose to undergo the fusion!

Never before has a Twin Star Soul done something like this.

This is a completely risky endeavor, Luo Mo. It’s even more dangerous when the unstable demonic body becomes stronger!

As a result, during the fusion process, the forces repelled each other, leading to a problem!

The demon Luo transformed into the form that Lu Yu now sees.

His unstable demonic body state disappeared, and he gained different abilities from both humans and demons. Moreover, he obtained the longevity of a demonic body, further enhancing his strength to the level of a Demonic Lord.

However, Luo Mo’s personality underwent a drastic change, becoming cruel and bloodthirsty!

No matter if they were human or demon, whoever he encountered would be completely drained. Any young woman who fell into his hands never managed to survive with her purity intact!

The daughter of a demon king was raped and murdered, which enraged the demon king so much that he devoted the entire city’s power to hunt down the perpetrator.

Along his path, Luo Mo committed countless acts of rape and murder, slaughtering over a million lives from both human and demonic races.

The human and demon races were enraged and joined forces to hunt down Luo Mo.

However, Luo Mo’s half-human, half-demon heritage grew increasingly powerful amidst the carnage, yet he did not succumb to madness.

Even the Demon Lord who had lost his daughter was devoured by Luo Mo!

Lu Mo narrowly escaped death multiple times, which finally enraged the human clan’s powerful expert, Ming Zun!

That battle affected several demon cities and human cities.

Lu Mo was finally no match for the Dark Ruler and was defeated!

Because the twin star souls can split infinitely and are almost immortal. They can only be killed when their heart is reunited with their body.

However, every time during a critical moment, the demon Luo would split itself to escape.

The Lord of the Netherworld instructed both the human and demon races to set up the Star Burial Ground. He personally captured dark beasts and extracted liquid metal to guard the tomb, preparing to seal away the Demon King Luo. Then, the Lord of the Netherworld pursued Luo for a hundred years, severely injuring him on multiple occasions.

Lu Mo realized that he would surely die if things continued this way. After learning the location of the Star Burial Ground, he secretly infiltrated its entrance, leaving behind a portion of his memories and a thread of his power, and set up a seal. These two things would not be discovered until tens of thousands of years later.

The Supreme Ruler of the Netherworld was unaware it was a trap. After a fierce battle, he severely injured Luo Mo, sealing his heart and body separately. Then, he sealed himself within the Sword Tomb as a replacement for the master weapon.

But this is exactly what Luo Mo wants! Time erodes the Dark Lord, and when the Dark Lord is no longer at his peak, he will surely be defeated.

Zhang Qing obtained the item left behind by Luo Mo, which was exactly what Luo Mo had designed in his time.

Luo Mo believes the owner will surely seek out the twin star souls for the sake of the illusory treasure.

He succeeded!

Reviving with another’s heart, the King of the Underworld has also lost his former peak!

It’s a bit risky, but it’s still better than dying back then.

Or perhaps one day, when Lord Ming truly feels that his life is coming to an end, he will certainly bring him back to life again, just to find a way to kill him once more. At that time, at worst, he can escape again—it’s still better than dying back then.

At least, I had one chance to make my own choice!

Now that Luo Mo has won, even the fresh air in the stone chamber is intoxicating him as he breathes it in again.

Back then, he even killed the Lord of Demons himself!

And now, suddenly, an ordinary person who hadn’t even reached the peak of a fifth-grade Star Soul dared to raise his voice before him.

Luo Mo narrowed his eyes at Lu Yu and said, “The Silver Dragon’s possession is gone—what gives you the courage to face me now? Your Ten Thousand Poisons? Even the countless stars of the Underworld King couldn’t pierce my Devil-Blood Robe; do you really think your poisons stand a chance?”

As Luo Mo spoke, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eye, but suddenly, his hand shot up.

A red-and-black aura suddenly condensed into a war blade in Luo Mo’s palm, which then slashed fiercely toward Lu Yu.

The battle blade exuded a boundless, ferocious aura, as if ten thousand ghosts were shrieking within its breath.无形的音波 released countless sounds, making Lou Xiaoyu feel as though she were being tormented by myriad ghosts. She couldn’t help but hug herself tightly, her pretty face turning pale with fear.

This period of time was unforgettable for her.

She had originally thought she understood the world so well, only to realize that what she had seen was merely a tiny corner of it!

Lou Xiaoyu hugged herself like a frightened little rabbit, shrinking into the corner, while Lu Yu standing in front of her appeared even taller.

Will he still protect me?

Xiao Yu’s heart whispered softly, filled with anticipation and fear of disappointment.

The crimson and obsidian energy coalesced into a war blade, moving at an extraordinary speed.

In the blink of an eye, the battle blade had already reached above Lu Yu’s head.

“The Yellow Spring trembles!” Lu Yu roared, and the earth beneath his feet rapidly turned pitch black!

At the same time, Lu Yu turned around, grabbed Lou Xiaoyu in an embrace, and the two instantly disappeared into a corner of the stone chamber.

The war blade struck the corner of the stone chamber.

This stone chamber was jointly constructed by several demon lords and powerful humans, for the purpose that if the Luo Demon were to revive one day, the chamber could transform into a battlefield without being destroyed!

No matter how powerful the demon Luo is, he cannot break through the protective barrier set up by the combined efforts of several powerful cultivators!

The stone chamber trembled, not even a single scratch left upon it.

“Huh!”

Luo Fan turned around and stared at another corner behind him.

Lu Yu stood there holding Lou Xiaoyu in his arms.

“The aura of the Demon Lord!” The Ghost King’s face showed astonishment as he stared at Lu Yu, saying, “Could it be that the outside world has changed? How come the experts from both human and demon races have bestowed all their ultimate moves upon one person!”

Huang Quan was merely at level six on Lu Yu, still far from reaching level nine.

Even reaching the ninth level, the power driven by a fifth-level Star Soul is still no match for the Luo Demon.

With that slash, Lu Yu was certain that Luo Mo was truly at the level of a Demon Lord!

Luo Mo laughed maniacally and said, “That’s interesting. But I haven’t heard of it before—could it be some junior little demon?”

Lu Yu put Lou Xiaoyu down, shielded her behind him, and turned his head sideways with a serious expression. He asked, “If I were to take action, do you really believe you could withstand Luo Mo’s attack for even a single second?”

Lou Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback. Seeing Lu Yu’s serious expression, she knew he was telling the truth.

Lu Yu, facing a demon clan member at least at the eighth level, showed a faint trace of worry on her face and said, “I can be 100 percent certain I can hold out for two seconds; any longer, and I won’t be able to manage it!”

“Two seconds, that should be enough time for me to rescue!”

Lu Yu nodded slightly with a faint smile on his face.

Lou Xiaoyu’s heart was pounding.

Why would this man do such a thing? At a time like this, it’s hard enough just to save one’s own life.

Why does he still want to protect himself!

Lou Xiaoyu recalled the words Lu Yu had spoken in Nanjing City—

Lou Xiaoyu lowered her head; whether it was joy or emotion, tears glistened in her eyes.

He will still protect me, he is still protecting me!

At this moment, even if she were to die, she would be willing!

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!” Lou Xiaoyu gently bit her lower lip and smiled as she looked up.

Lou Xiaoyu’s smile was beautiful, with a certain coquettish tenderness that reached to the very bones.

Desire flared in the distant Luo Mo’s eyes. Letting out a sudden, strange cry, he lunged toward Lou Xiaoyu!

Lu Yu suddenly raised his head, glaring fiercely at Luo Mo and shouted, “Get out!”

His eyes turned blood-red!

This is a red more vivid than the demon race, more brilliant than the bloodshot eyes!

As Lu Yu’s eyes changed, his star soul within his body was completely awakened.

Bang!

His heart gave a sudden, violent thump.

The sound was like the thundering of war drums, reverberating through the stone chamber.

The devastating aura of slaughter, capable of destroying heaven and earth, surged forth together with the bloody scent of countless lives taken.

Black energy surged from within Lu Yu, swirling around him like a dragon shrouded in dark mist!

This black dragon was not merely composed of energy; it had a pair of blood-red eyes just like a real black dragon.

The expression of the Spirit Sovereign changed once again, as he inhaled sharply through his teeth and exclaimed, “The smell of blood—it’s not right!”

The demon Luo was already less than three meters away from Lou Xiaoyu, almost face to face with Lu Yu.

However, as Lu Yu let out a fierce shout and his bloodshot eyes appeared, he retreated.

This feeling was just like the time he had passed by a cave in his younger days, when a ferocious beast inside had locked its gaze on him—he could feel it then too.

How could a human being become a beast!

How long had it been since Luo Mo had last felt such fear? He couldn’t even remember.

He advances quickly and retreats just as swiftly.

He retreated dozens of meters, and only then did the feeling of being targeted by the fierce beast disappear.

He was not only shocked by the aura emanating from Lu Yu, but even more so by the bloody scent released from this person’s body.

“The bloody aura of the Demon Lord! The Soul of the Murder Star!”

The smell of blood was too obvious.

That was the scent of the Devil Monarch’s blood that had stained my body—it was a mark that could never be erased.

What surprised him even more was that the person was actually a killer!

It’s said that the path of slaughter taken by previous generations was even more bloody than his! This young man, still so young, has already shed the blood of the Demon Lord. When he grows and matures, he will become even more formidable.

The Supreme Ruler originally intended to kill Lu Yu. But at this moment, he felt a pang of compassion.

If this young man isn’t a great villain, he deserves to live!

Especially the black dragon currently released by Lu Yu is the true manifestation of the activated Killing Star Soul.

Activating the complete Killing Star Soul with just a fifth-stage body—this young man might actually have a chance to fight against the Dark Sovereign!
