The sudden appearance of the Demon Lord of Slaughter was too unexpected!
However, this was also within Lu Yu’s expectations.
Since the moment Xiaoying learned about the overlapping space from Huang Ying and eagerly informed Lu Yu that this was the place to take action, Lu Yu had already anticipated that trouble would arise.
It was no surprise that the Lord of Slaughter struck first!
After all, the only one here who might possibly know about his Killing Star Soul is the Killing Demon Lord!
The Lord of Slaughter, having slain a Slaughter Inheritor, must have a connection with the Slaughter Star Soul.
Whoever can find him must be the Lord of Slaughter!
The moment the Lord of Slaughter appeared, the star soul within Lu Yu’s body was already on the verge of boiling over.
At the moment the Lord of Slaughter made his move, the Murderous Star Soul was on the verge of erupting.
If it were a normal time, Lu Yu would still fight back against the Demon King’s attack even if he knew he couldn’t win.
But at this moment, Lu Yu clenched his teeth tightly. The instant he saw the bloodshot eyes of the Demon Lord of Slaughter, his star soul within his body had already spiraled out of control. Moreover, the star soul seemed to attempt taking over his body, continuously flooding his mind with a single, relentless thought—kill!
Kill, kill, kill—
Each word of “kill” seemed to carry the roar of vengeful ghosts, erasing Lu Yu’s consciousness and replacing his thoughts with a will to kill everything.
Does the Star Soul truly possess its own thoughts?
Lu Yu didn’t have time to think about these things.
He is now focusing all his energy on controlling the rampaging Star Soul, striving to suppress the violent fluctuations of the murderous Star Soul.
The Lord of Slaughter approached Lu Yu at a leisurely pace, as if regarding him as already his prey, and said with a smile: “I originally thought I would have to wait until the next area for such an opportunity. I didn’t expect it to come so quickly! From the moment I saw you, I already knew who you were! The new inheritor of slaughter, you seem far too weak. The Grade Six Silver Dragon Armor would be better off with me, and so would the Blade of Slaughter.”
Lu Yu did not speak, still struggling to control the star soul within his body.
The Lord of Slaughter quickened his pace, seemingly impatient, and when he approached within less than a hundred meters of Lu Yu, he suddenly stamped his left foot on the ground. In an instant, his figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight toward Lu Yu.
Boom!
The Lord of Slaughter extended his giant hand, reaching toward Lu Yu’s chest.
Lu Yu took a deep breath, his abdomen contracting as his body arched backward, propelling him in a sudden reverse motion!
“You want to leave? Not so easily!” The hand of carnage failed to grasp Lu Yu, and with a clench of the fingers, it lunged forward like a dragon’s claw, seizing empty space.
Bang!
The air around Lu Yu exploded, and five forces simultaneously pressed down on him.
Even the body of a Demon Lord let out creaking, brittle sounds as it was compressed.
Lu Yu planted both feet firmly on the ground and recoiled like a cannonball.
The Murderous Arrogance declared, “Even if you are at the peak of the ninth level, you will still die before the Demon Lord!”
As the sound of carnage faded, his figure had already appeared before Lu Yu!
Lu Yu was given absolutely no chance to counterattack as the murderous palm struck straight toward his heart.
Hiss!
The five fingers, dripping with blood, were like blades piercing toward Lu Yu’s chest. But just before they could sink half an inch into his flesh, they encountered tremendous resistance from his muscles and blood.
Sha Lu was not alarmed but instead delighted, exclaiming, “No wonder it’s the Silver Dragon Armor! The strongest defender of the dragon clan!”
Boom!
A surge of power trembled through his arm of slaughter, his eyes turning an even deeper red. With a fierce shout, he roared, “However, even if you possess defense rivaling that of a Demon Lord, your strength is at most at the peak of an eighth-grade Star Soul. How do you expect to fight me!”
The bloodied fingers pierced in again, this time reaching the bones of Lu Yu’s chest.
His five fingers were ready to grip Lu Yu’s heart with force, ending the battle in one decisive strike.
However, the killing strike revealed five fingers stabbing into Lu Yu’s bones, as if they had hit an indestructible object, causing his fingers to be repelled with great force.
Lu Yu took advantage of this moment to retreat once again.
He had no choice but to retreat!
The star soul within him became increasingly uncontrollable as the massacre drew near, threatening to completely overwhelm his will.
Lu Yu didn’t know whether his consciousness would be consumed by the Star Soul if it took control of his body.
He didn’t dare to take the risk.
Therefore, before he could control the star soul, he dared not act recklessly.
The murderous attack was shaken off, and for the first time, shock appeared on his face: “Your health points exceed ten billion, actually reaching into the hundreds of billions! Hundreds of billions—your maximum life has broken through the class limit! Moreover, there’s something strange within your body!”
Murder mumbled to himself, suddenly his expression turned icy cold, and he said in a deep voice, “Then I’ll tear open your flesh and see exactly what’s going on inside your body!”
Before the words of slaughter could even settle, he had already appeared like lightning at Lu Yu’s side.
Lu Yu turned around, and suddenly his hands fiercely tore towards the empty space.
Boom! Boom!
The void tore through the darkness.
Lu Yu rushed in, and the darkness vanished.
Sha Lu was taken aback, then sneered coldly, “Damn it, how come you grasp things so quickly? You actually figured out how to break through overlapping domains just by sensing me use it once? However—don’t think you can escape!”
Killing laughed maniacally, his hands tearing through the void as he leaped inside.
When Sha Lu first saw Lu Yu in Chang County, his eyes had already begun to dance with excitement.
These eyes were originally passed down from the previous Demon Lord.
The previous Demon Lord was also passed down through generations.
The first generation of the Demon Lord to possess these eyes also acquired them from a slaughter inheritor.
Before the heir of carnage perished, he devoured a pair of living eyes, thus obtaining this pair of blood-red eyes!
Although this does not enable the Lord of Slaughter to possess all the abilities of the Slaughter Star Soul.
However, it also allowed the Lord of Slaughter to obtain partial Star Soul abilities. Especially these eyes, which do not truly belong to him, will react unusually when encountering the genuine Star Soul of Slaughter!
After the Lord of Slaughter identified Lu Yu among Gao Hong and others, he began making plans.
In the Dragon’s Nest, the overlapping realm is an unavoidable trial that must be passed.
This level tests endurance and comprehension.
Being stuck in overlapping fields for a certain period of time means being eliminated.
For those who are completely unfamiliar with the field, it is somewhat more difficult to leave.
Yet the carnage left some marks on Lu Yu, allowing one to quickly locate him within the overlapping spaces of different realms.
After learning that Lu Yu possessed the Silver Dragon Armor, the Slayer Demon Lord became even more eager to kill Lu Yu as soon as possible, because the other demon lords would certainly set their sights on Lu Yu as well.
It’s just that his plan hasn’t been fully developed yet, and the overlapping areas surprisingly mentioned the third region.
This disrupted his plans.
He feared that other demon lords might intervene, so he quickly found Lu Yu and launched an attack.
His original plan was to approach quietly and then strike.
Lu Yu couldn’t even sense the slightest ripple from the overlapping spatial layers being torn apart, all to prevent him from figuring out a way to escape.
Although the Lord of Slaughter hastily attacked in a moment of urgency, Lu Yu still managed to escape.
He could only chase after them now!
The moment Lu Yu tore through the void and appeared on another desolate land, the star soul within his body grew quiet.
This space was exactly the same as the previous one, except for its location.
The moment Lu Yu was transported here, there was no sudden movement. Instead, he stood still, lowered his head, and silently began to count.
The Demon of Slaughter pursued him relentlessly, and would surely be able to sense the Star Soul within his body.
If he cannot be tracked down in a short time, it proves that the Butcher Monarch also encountered him by chance.
“One, two, three, three…”
Lu Yu counted silently, his entire focus on sensing the changes in the surrounding void.
“Five!”
Boom!
The void exploded, and a hand reached out from behind Lu Yu’s neck.
Lu Yu moved his hands, tore open the void in front of him, and was about to escape.
Sha Lu shouted harshly, “It’s too late!”
When the carnage extended half its body out of the darkness, it had already transformed from a clutch into a slap.
The force of the mountain sweeping towards him fell upon Lu Yu’s body.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s back was torn open, the entire area a mangled mess of blood and flesh.
The immortal body activated, and the flesh on Lu Yu’s back instantly regenerated, at a speed too fast for the human eye to catch.
Sha Lü’s heart trembled with exhilaration, and an even more frenzied,狂 laughter gleamed in his eyes. He snarled, “What incredible recovery speed! You carry too many secrets within you. Right now, I truly want to tear you apart limb from limb, just to see how many more surprises you can offer me!”
While the Lord of Slaughter was speaking, his actions did not cease at all.
His goal was to capture Lu Yu. With other demonic lords also searching for Lu Yu, how could he possibly waste a single second!
The Lord of Slaughter took a step forward, appearing before Lu Yu, and his giant hand grabbed down once again.
Lu Yu didn’t even have time to turn his head. He forcefully pushed off the ground with both hands and shot rapidly toward the distance.
Lu Yu reacted quickly, but his back still got hit by another palm strike, and the flesh and blood on his entire back were crushed.
The power of the ninth-level Star Soul peak is merely in the hundreds of billions.
But the power of the Devil King is no less than trillions of pounds!
The weight of a mountain peak reaching one thousand meters is more than five trillion tons.
Even a small hill of a hundred meters would require a force of at least two hundred billion jin to lift.
But is a hundred meters really considered a mountain?
A mountain that is over five hundred meters high is truly worthy of being called a mountain.
Even a ninth-level Star Soul cannot move a mountain.
Only a force exceeding two trillion can be called the power of a single mountain!
It took a force like that to barely move a mountain five hundred meters high.
Yet this attack from the Demon Lord absolutely carried the force of five trillion, the collision of two mountains; how could a mere eighth-stage Star Soul possibly withstand it!
Even though Lu Yu possessed a body at the level of a Demon Lord, he was not invincible.
He might be able to withstand monsters below level nine.
But when facing the Demon King, such power could only minimize the damage to the least possible extent.
The Phantom Spirit Sphere absorbed most of the impact; otherwise, that single palm strike would have shattered his body entirely.
“What?” The Murderous Demon Lord’s eyes widened in shock. Having already stood upon the earth, he was taken aback once again.
The previous palm strike was far more ruthless than the first one. Even the Demon Lord himself would have had at least a few bones broken if struck like that. Yet this strike, although it managed to crush Lu Yu’s flesh and blood, did not shatter his bones.
Such a body is not merely the Silver Dragon Armor!
“Okay!”
The face of the Lord of Slaughter became even more grotesque as he laughed maniacally, “Your body truly exceeds my expectations. Compared to when I was at the eighth level, it’s already more than ten times stronger. Your ability, and your body itself, will be mine. Haha, after I perform the soul transference, I can cultivate again to reach the level of a Demon Lord. Then, I will be at least twice as powerful as I am in this current body!”
The Lord of Slaughter grew increasingly frenzied as he spoke, taking a single step that brought him right before Lu Yu’s eyes.
He spoke and moved without any waste of time, determined not to let Lu Yu escape again.
When Lu Yu landed, he placed both hands on the ground and tore it apart, plunging once again into darkness.
The Lord of Slaughter was slightly taken aback and said, “Interesting. You’re actually starting to apply what you’ve learned flexibly. Not much talent for battle, but your mind is sharp enough.”
The Lord of Slaughter also leaped into the darkness and pursued.
