Chapter 216: Poison vs. Necromancy (1)

Sha Lu stared at Lu Yu in a daze, instinctively touching his nose.

He pursued Lu Yu because he was the Demon Lord.

He is hundreds or even thousands of times more powerful than Lu Yu, thus qualifying him to chase after Lu Yu.

Killing Lu Yu would be as effortless as crushing an ant!

However, Lu Yu dared to approach him.

That was totally unexpected!

Moreover, the position where Lu Yu was standing seemed a bit too convenient, as if he had walked right into the punch himself.

After a moment of shock at the carnage, he suddenly became extremely furious!

He was hit by this human.

Right in the middle of his face!

How is this any different from slapping someone in the face!

“You’re asking for death!” The killer’s eyes were bloodshot, and an overwhelming murderous aura surged towards him like a storm.

At the same time as the furious roar of slaughter, he had already thrust out his palm in a violent strike.

His palm strike was thrown, but it missed!

Boom!

The killing palm energy surged forward like a tsunami, yet he had already lost sight of Lu Yu.

Buzz!

Behind the carnage, Lu Yu flashed into view, his left hand raised high. Between his arms, a chilling cold light extended nearly three feet, like a sharp sword plunging toward the heart of the massacre.

The cold aura of slaughter surged like a storm, its violent gusts carrying the force of a mountain. The raging tempest tore across the ground, leaving fissures stretching for thousands of meters. Massive boulders were lifted into the air by the powerful winds.

Sha Lu turned around coldly and snarled, “Lu Yu, how can you, a mere insignificant ant, dare to fight against me! This is the power of the Demon Lord—even a ripple of it could crush you into dust!”

Lu Yu was close to the carnage, and when the storm arose, his figure was already blown backward and flying through the air.

Sha Lu swung his hand fiercely toward Lu Yu, who was flying backward.

Boom!

This palm strike seemed as if three mountain peaks had descended from the sky, crashing toward Lu Yu.

But in the next moment, Lu Yu disappeared.

The attack of slaughter missed again, and with a single palm strike, he split the land open, creating a deep abyss dozens of miles long and nearly ten miles wide.

Just as the hand that had killed failed to retract in time, he already felt another hand slashing down toward his throat.

“What!”

Sha Lu’s heart secretly startled, and his body suddenly leaned backward.

Lu Yu’s left hand brushed past his nose, slicing off a small piece of flesh from the tip and drawing blood.

Moreover, there was also a faint line of blood at his throat!

“That’s fast!”

Sha Lu’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend how Lu Yu could have reached such a level of speed.

This speed was faster than light; even the mighty Devil King could not keep up with his eyes.

In fact, he could not detect the slightest trace of Lu Yu’s presence, as if Lu Yu were not there at all.

Even a dead person has some breath left, but Lu Yu had absolutely no sign of life!

The carnage took a big step back, and in the blink of an eye, he realized that Lu Yu had vanished once again.

“Die!”

The massacre radiates a murderous aura and battling intent, his bloodshot eyes as red as a blood-red whirlpool, drawing everything into his body!

He wanted to use this to influence the star soul within Lu Yu’s body.

Boom!

Lu Yu appeared before the massacre, his eyes clear and sharp, his palms striking out in quick succession.

At the same time, dozens of palm strikes landed on Sha Lü’s chest, while his left hand pressed against Sha Lü’s front. A sudden cold gleam erupted from his palm!

“This is impossible!”

The carnage retreats once more, yet the horror within my heart grows even stronger!

The mighty Demon Lord, facing a human with an eighth-grade Star Soul, actually retreated again and again!

Lu Yu’s speed was somewhat strange, even faster than teleportation. Even when staring intently at him, one could not track his movements.

This time, the slaughter did not merely retreat but also tore through the void.

He needed space to take the initiative.

The moment he stepped into another dimension, a three-foot-long icy cold blade of light above his head had already sliced through the scalp at the crown of his head.

The icy, eerie atmosphere pierced straight into his marrow!

“Ahh!”

The Lord of Slaughter let out a fierce roar, and in an instant, his body transformed into a wisp of gray mist.

A cold gleam sliced through the gray aura, but it did not inflict any damage on the Bloodthirsty Demon Monarch!

Boom!

The gray mist suddenly condensed.

The flesh color of the Demon Lord of Slaughter turned ashen white.

His forehead was slightly damp with sweat, and he couldn’t stop thinking about that single stroke of the knife just now.

That’s really strange.

Lu Yu seemed to have calculated the exact moment he would emerge from there, and had already been waiting here, ready to strike with that decisive slash.

In the instant the Demon Lord of Slaughter shifted his thoughts, Lu Yu, who had originally been right in front of him, suddenly appeared dozens of meters away.

Lu Yu stared at the Murderous Devil King with a cold smile and said, “Murderous Devil King! You wanted to kill me and tear me apart. Now I’m right here—do you have the ability to kill me?”

Lu Yu was unaffected by the aura of slaughter emanating from the body.

This was because he had completely sealed off his own aura from the outside world.

This is the method he comprehended while traveling through overlapping spaces. His own body is a space itself, and everything from the outside world cannot interfere with his space.

The Killing Star Soul could not sense anything from the outside world, so it naturally had no effect on Lu Yu.

As a result, Lu Yu no longer needed to worry about the Soul Star’s transformation when facing slaughter, and could now unleash his full power without restraint!

“Lu Yu, you’re provoking me!” the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord growled, “Do you really think this will stop me from killing you?”

Lu Yu pointed his index finger at the Lord of Slaughter and beckoned a few times, taunting, “If you’ve got a problem, come get me. I’m right here waiting for you!”

“Dare to challenge me!” the killer stared at Lu Yu with bloodshot eyes. Except for his eyes, his entire skin, nails, and even his hair were turning a deathly gray!

The aura around Sha Lu had changed; within the murderous intent, there was now an added presence of death.

Sprays of gray-white breath gushed out from his body, flooding the surrounding space like an ocean.

A tsunami-like surge of ashen breath swept through, instantly engulfing and wrapping around Lu Yu.

When Lu Yu’s skin came into contact with the ashen-gray aura, it began to wither and age.

Boom!

At the same moment Lu Yu was enveloped, the powerful aura of the Murderous Devil Lord appeared before him.

In the ashen mist, Lu Yu could see nothing beyond three meters.

However, the Lord of Slaughter seemed unaffected and instantly teleported in front of Lu Yu.

The left hand of the Demon Lord of Slaughter, fingers together like a blade, once again stabbed toward Lu Yu’s chest.

Hiss!

This time, the Demon Lord of Slaughter unleashed an even stronger power, reaching the force of four mountains!

Eight trillion jin of power!

This is four-fifths of his strength; even a mountain peak a thousand meters high could be lifted by him!

His palm was sharper than a blade, slicing through the air itself.

Amidst the ashen mist, a pair of bloodshot eyes flickered like phantoms.

Before the five fingers could even touch Lu Yu’s skin, the force radiating from their tips had already torn through the flesh of his chest.

Lu Yu’s mind stirred, and in an instant, he traversed through space and arrived at another realm!

Here, he could see the space where the massacre took place, with grayish-white mist rolling like an ocean within that realm.

That space was unimaginably vast. At the very least, hundreds of kilometers had already been engulfed by the gray mist.

“Do you really think I’ll be afraid of you like this?” Lu Yu’s eyes blazed with fearless fighting spirit as his mind stirred once again.

He appeared behind the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord and swung his left hand downward.

Vroom!

A foot-long tear suddenly split open behind the Lord of Slaughter, and a grayish, half-bodied phantom shot out, rushing straight toward Lu Yu.

“Lu Yu, before it was called Slaughter, our lineage was once known as the Undead!”

The Lord of Slaughter roared in fury, turned around, and fixed his gaze on Lu Yu.

At this moment, a grayish afterimage swept across Lu Yu’s shoulder, suddenly opening its wide mouth to bite down on his shoulder.

Hiss!

A piece of flesh was torn from Lu Yu’s shoulder by the grayish blur.

The disappearance of that piece of flesh left only a small amount of tissue covering the bone, nearly exposing the sacred king’s bone!

Can Ying chewed vigorously on the flesh of Lu Yu’s shoulder, shouting excitedly.

The distant Demon Lord of Slaughter, excited as if equally savoring the delicious blood feast, swallowed hard and said, “The taste is excellent. Indeed, the flesh and blood of the Nine Star Souls are even more exquisite. Hmm, there’s also the aura of the Dragon Clan within. And… there’s another aura that’s very unique. No, actually several. Good, very good, absolutely wonderful!”

Sha Lu became increasingly excited as he spoke: “Although I don’t know exactly what these abilities are, I can feel that they’re all rare and exceptional.”

“Is that so!” Lu Yu instantly vanished and reappeared to the left of the slaughter. His left hand slashed out again.

“Coming closer to me is just delivering yourself to my mouth,” laughed the carnage, disappearing at the moment when Lu Yu’s left hand was about to strike him.

The Lord of Slaughter appeared like a ghost behind Lu Yu and swept his palm forward, saying, “The gray aura is the Dead Sea, and I am the King of the Dead Sea! Here, I can move freely as I please, unrestricted.”

Bang!

The Demon Lord of Slaughter swung his palm at the spot where Lu Yu stood, but once again, he struck empty air.

The gray mist around was swept up like a surging flood!

At this moment, the Demon King of Slaughter didn’t even think, his entire body suddenly trembling violently!

His entire body spontaneously split open with countless gashes. The torn flesh was all a lifeless gray, and instead of blood, hundreds of fragmented, half-formed shadows burst out from the wounds.

These lingering shadows flew into the air, emitting piercing shrieks, and like having spotted fresh blood, they charged fiercely toward Lu Yu!

The speed of the afterimage was even faster, transforming into countless arrows in the air, and like lightning, they shot toward Lu Yu.

One by one, grotesque faces resembling demons, each with a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, tore chunks of flesh from Lu Yu’s body.

The Lord of Slaughter narrowed his eyes, as if indulging in fresh blood, savoring the most exquisite taste.

A faint smile curved Lu Yu’s lips as he softly murmured, “Ten Thousand Poisons!”

Boom!

Lu Yu’s body erupted with an endless surge of green energy. When this green energy collided with the gray mist, the gray mist was instantly corroded into black smoke.

“Aow!”

Hundreds of yuanling dropped the bloody flesh in their hands, their mouths and hands emitting black mist.

The blood and flesh that fell to the ground spewed out green vapor, capable of corroding even the rocks on the earth’s surface until they turned black.

Hundreds of afterimages tumbled through the air, their gray bodies darkening. Green mist, resembling tiny green snakes, emerged from within and began devouring their bodies. Gradually, the afterimages shrank in size and dove into the pool of slaughter!

At the same time, a muffled groan of pain escaped as a mouthful of black blood was spat out, mixed with a large chunk of rotten internal organs!

“Ten thousand poisons—it’s actually ten thousand poisons!” Sha Lu was nearly driven mad with shock.

Such potent toxicity was still hidden within Lu Yu’s body.

Lu Yu entered here with a cultivation level not even reaching the peak of the seventh tier. How could he possibly have fused tens of thousands of poisons?

An ordinary person would endure immense suffering even if they integrated just two poisons in a single day.

The world has only changed for a few years; even if he fused poisons every single day, there’s no way he could have absorbed all the toxins in existence.

A devil monarch once acquired the Ten Thousand Poisons, and it also took him ten years to fully integrate them.

How could this human be so fast!

If I keep thinking about the massacre, I won’t just go crazy—I’m about to lose my mind completely.

Lu Yu gestured toward the carnage with a flick of his finger and said, “Go ahead, devour it! If you’ve got the guts, release more undead to feast on. I’d like to see just how much blood you can cough up!”
