A voice echoed in the sky, acknowledging Lu Yu’s strength!
This sound convinced the Demon Lord of Slaughter and others that the rankings had indeed been activated!
Unless Lu Yu is killed, he will continue to challenge!
Judging from this, things are not as simple as they seem!
Inside the dragon arena formed by the masks, the battle seemed to have just begun!
Phantom and Lu Yu both began to exude an astonishing battle aura.
This fighting spirit even surpassed the one Lu Yu displayed when facing Lu Tianming.
Lu Yu had fought against the inheritor of carnage, and had also taken something from that inheritor of carnage.
To a certain extent, his sensitivity to the will to fight and murderous intent surpassed that of an ordinary person! He noticed something different right away and exclaimed in astonishment, “Could it be that he can continuously elevate his fighting spirit during battle? Is he another battle-crazed maniac who lives for combat?”
Receiving such an appraisal as “massacre” is truly rare for humans!
This is important, what matters is that Lu Yu has already exceeded their expectations by far!
Lu Yu’s strength is weak!
However, at this moment, Lu Yu held the initiative.
The phantom in his hand resembled a human-shaped sandbag crashing to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and roar. The barren, rocky surface cracked like a spider’s web.
Boom!
After Lu Yu’s first strike with the whirling phantom slammed into the ground, he raised it again—crashing it down once more!
The most primitive and direct method.
Again and again! Blow after blow!
The earth keeps shattering, then healing, and shattering again!
The demon lords remained silent, watching helplessly as events unfolded.
At this moment, rushing in to block would only disturb the deceased Dragon Clan!
Everyone’s hearts were gripped tightly, and they dared not breathe.
They gulped hard, fully aware that in this moment, they were powerless to fight back.
Anger and jealousy blazed in Lu Tianming’s eyes.
“Yeah, I could’ve made it this far too!” Lu Tianming muttered under his breath, his voice filled with不甘心.
If he hadn’t eliminated the phantom, he certainly would have had a chance to climb the rankings!
The shadow was slammed to the ground again and again, its back crashing against the surface, shattering the earth countless times.
But his body was just as strong as steel, without a single scratch!
A demon lord counted that after nearly a hundred violent collisions with the ground, the phantom finally managed to twist its body and kicked Lu Yu in the temple.
Bang!
As one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, this area is undoubtedly critical.
This kick landed right in the center, and instinctively, it would have blown Lu Yu’s head apart.
Lu Yu felt dizzy the moment he was kicked, his fingers slightly loosening their grip as he staggered back two steps.
The phantom broke free from Lu Yu’s grasp, let out a roar, and charged toward him.
Lu Yu lightly shook his head, momentarily dazed, then his eyes blazed with renewed intensity and remarkable brilliance.
The soul finally made a decision and said, “It’s definitely a fake Demon Lord-level body! The mutated star soul is undoubtedly something that has never appeared before.”
“That’s right. Because none of the previous star souls have ever had the ability to enhance a human body to such a level of strength as a pseudo Demon Lord!”
Killing and Night Demon were also nodding in agreement, while only Xie Ming remained deep in thought.
The black-robed figure behind Xie Ming remained silent, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
The battle showed no sign of stopping, and both sides became more and more frenzied!
…
“Congratulations, your Kill Star Soul has been upgraded to level eight, with 65% of the progress remaining. Your maximum basic health is seven billion, your basic attack power is nine hundred and ten million, and your basic physical strength is nine hundred and ninety-nine million! In fact, your physical strength has already reached its limit and can no longer be enhanced!”
…
Blue text flickered continuously before Lu Yu’s eyes, and Phantom’s power was also constantly improving！
If you’d like the fully translated version including that last part, it would be:
Blue text flickered continuously before Lu Yu’s eyes, and Phantom’s power was also constantly improving!
“Ascend, ascend even further!” Lu Yu roared toward the heavens, “Lu Tianming, what’s the use of you killing others? You’re not qualified to challenge me!”
His voice echoed through the Dragon’s Nest, like the roar of a true dragon, leaving Lu Tianming’s face pale with humiliation — it was a great disgrace to him!
“Challenger’s rank has been promoted… now holding the 35,300th position in the second region of the Dragon’s Nest!”
“Challenger’s rank has been promoted… now ranked 35,000th in the second region of the Dragon’s Nest!”
…
“Challenger’s rank has been promoted… now holding the 33,000th position in the second region of the Dragon’s Nest!”
A hoary voice from the sky appears at regular intervals.
Two hours later!
The mirage suddenly collapsed!
The two giant dragons carved on the stone pillar were emitting beams of light from their eyes, casting four shadows behind Lu Yu.
Boom!
Four shadows rose from the ground, and when they merged in the air, their power had already reached the pinnacle of the eighth level—this was the ultimate limit of an eighth-grade Star Soul!
“What, does the Phantom’s power need to be enhanced even further?”
“This ability has already placed among the top eighty humans and demons in the rankings!”
Xie Ming’s voice turned cold as he said, “Huang Ying, tell those you brought to end this test immediately—it’s a waste of our time.”
There was a strong tone of jealousy in Xie Ming’s voice!
The Desolate Shadow said, “Evil Spirit Monarch! Everyone who came here never agreed on prohibiting any specific method to pass the test. Your person finished the test with a one-second kill, which is a demonstration of his strength. However, the person I brought is using this method to complete the test as well. Do you want him to stop midway?”
Xie Ming’s voice turned sinister as he said, “Huang Ying, you’d better make him stop right now, or as soon as we leave here, I’ll head straight to your Demon City!”
Huang Ying’s expression turned pale in an instant, his lower lip tightly clenched as he glared furiously at Xie Ming!
At this moment, Huo Wu spoke up: “Xie Ming, the rules for entering the Dragon’s Nest were established by the Devil Ancestor and the Nine Star Souls together. There are no restrictions here on any methods a candidate may use to pass the test, until they either fail and withdraw or succeed. Could it be that Xie Ming is questioning the Devil Ancestor?”
Xie Ming was as cold as ice, his gaze beneath the black robe fixed intently on Fan Tian.
When Fan Tian moved out the Demon Ancestor, he was left speechless.
Questioning the Devil Ancestor was something no demon race dared to do.
If it were not inside the Dragon’s Nest, he would have attacked without hesitation. However, for the sake of the treasures within the Dragon’s Nest, he swallowed his anger forcefully and coldly said, “Demon Heaven Cultivator, I’ve heard that your Yellow Spring Tremor Attack is known for its ferocity and intensity. Once we leave here, I’ll be sure to experience it firsthand.”
Huowu turned her head away and focused on the center of the battlefield.
The stronger Lu Yu became, the more intensely Huo Wu’s heart beat.
It was as if she were fighting side by side with Lu Yu for the first time all over again—his battle stance had always fascinated her!
No one spoke; they could only watch the battle between Lu Yu and the phantom!
By the seventh hour, Lu Yu’s attack power had reached the peak of level seven and could not advance any further.
The process of advancing the Killing Star Soul to level seven has reached one hundred percent; all that’s lacking is a level-seven Star Spirit Stone!
His lifespan has already exceeded eight billion!
Such an opportunity is even rarer than the battle between Xingzangdi and Luo Mo!
Dragon’s Nest Second Zone, thirty thousand——
This ranking has even moved the Devil King.
Now, Lu Yu shows no intention of stopping and not the slightest sign of fatigue!
Among the humans and demons who had entered the rankings, Lu Yu surged into the top fifty. With such strength, if he were to continue growing, even the several Demon Lords present would be surpassed!
Suddenly—
The illusion collapses once again—
Gao Hong and others were alarmed, thinking: “Has it not ended yet?”
Their hearts were trembling as they finally understood why those nine people had submitted to Lu Yu.
Because Lu Yu’s power isn’t just about bloodshed; it’s because he is genuinely strong enough to command true respect!
Although he was only at the peak of the seventh level, facing the pressure from a Star Soul at the peak of the eighth level, he was still able to summon such a strong fighting spirit. Even they began to admire Lu Yu!
When the phantom merged again, its combat power had already surpassed the eighth level and reached the lower tier of the ninth-star level.
This is not just billions, but an attack power of two billion!
With combat power surpassing Lu Yu’s by twentyfold, as long as Phantom出手 (Phantom takes action), Lu Yu will no longer have any chance of fighting back.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone and the several Demon Lords, the battle had turned into an absolute disadvantage for Lu Yu.
However, Lu Yu’s fighting spirit did not diminish but instead rose, with his murderous aura continuously intensifying.
“If he were a dragon, he would surely be a war dragon!” Saying this, Lu Yu pushed his own potential to the limit by enduring the oppressive pressure of powerful beings.
At this point, Lu Yu’s attack power and physical strength would no longer improve.
However, his maximum lifespan can increase infinitely!
As long as Lu Yu remains undefeated, he can use his Demon Lord-level body to resist the pressure from the phantom and thereby increase his maximum lifespan.
Twenty-four hours, a maximum of ten billion lives!
This has already reached the peak of an eighth-rank Star Soul’s maximum lifespan, yet everything continues to improve!
Dragon Nest Second Area, Twenty-Three Thousand——
…
At the thirty-sixth hour, the mirage transformed again. The attack power of five billion was fifty times that of Lu Yu. At this point, a single punch could shatter dozens of zhang of land in all directions.
Under such attacks, Lu Yu’s body remained terrifyingly strong!
…
At the forty-eighth hour, the upper limit of life is one hundred and twenty billion!
Rank 17,000 in the second zone of Dragon’s Nest—
…
Time passed second by second; the Demon Lord’s heart grew increasingly heavy.
Lu Yu is now ranked 11th among the demons and humans who have entered the rankings!
Going upward, eight are from the demon race, and two are humans!
Positions one to five are occupied by demons, and no one has surpassed them to this day!
However, Lu Yu still showed no sign of defeat. Even when the disadvantage was obvious, he was still able to launch a counterattack.
At the ninety-fourth hour, the upper limit of life is 1.8 billion.
The strength of the Phantom has already approached the peak of level nine.
Ranked 9,300th in the Dragon’s Nest region.
Ranked sixth among the demons and humans who have entered the rankings!
…
“Still… still can fight!”
Lu Tianming’s face turned pale. If it were him, he would have already been defeated.
“No way, absolutely no way. How could a bastard as clumsy as a wild dog become so powerful!”
The battle is still ongoing!
On the seventh day, Lu Yu’s health points had already soared to 2.3 billion!
The Phantom’s strength reached the peak of a ninth-grade Star Soul, with an attack power of nearly a billion. Each punch devastated the land within a hundred-zhang radius.
Even a gust of wind from the punch was enough to send Lu Yu flying.
“Oh!”
Lu Yu’s body radiated an overwhelming battle intent. With a furious roar, he unleashed hundreds of punches, shattering the phantom’s sweeping gust of fists, and rampaged through the stormy winds.
The illusions at this moment must all be struck down once approached!
Lu Yu—this moment, he has surpassed all demons and humans alike; among the humans who entered this ranking test, he stands as the first!
“Congratulations, noble descendant of the Dragon Clan, you have now claimed the first position in the second region of the Dragon’s Nest!”
At this moment, all the dragons carved on the stone pillars beneath the dome opened their eyes, and the overwhelming dragon aura, like a raging tsunami, spread across the land!
