Chapter 233: Dragon’s Heart

Lu Yu’s stone sword slashed down once again, an attack identical to the previous one.

The air froze, as if dozens of towering mountains were pressing down on the head of the slaughter.

The reaction to the carnage was quicker this time. The moment the stone sword swung down, the ashen-gray aura around the body had already spread out, ready to teleport!

The ashen aura spread outwards for dozens of meters, although it was incomparable to the range it could cover during his prime.

However, this distance was enough for him to escape.

As the thought of carnage arose, teleportation began!

The moment his mind stirred, a chill surged from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head!

The gravity around was not only acting on people, but also on everything in the surroundings.

Teleportation is invalid!

The slaughter was wide-eyed with disbelief, never expecting such an outcome!

He looked in terror as the stone sword swung down, his lips trembling.

Xie Ming and Blood Sea felt their scalps tingle from not too far away!

Lu Tianming’s face turned even paler, and he stammered, “How could this happen?”

He doesn’t believe it at all.

Demon Lord, this is actually the Demon Lord, yet Lu Yu has beaten him so thoroughly that he can’t even fight back!

The slaughter watched as the stone sword struck down on his right arm, then pierced into his chest.

All he could do was watch as the stone sword sliced through his flesh and internal organs, and then continued downward, cleaving his body in two.

Sha Lü’s eyes were wide with fury, his steel teeth nearly grinding to pieces.

Now is not the time to discuss the dignity of the demon race.

What he wants is to stay alive.

The twin eyes of carnage shattered, and the will focused on a single point with unprecedented intensity.

“Teleport!” Kill roared, focusing all his hopes on breaking free from control.

This time, the concentration of his will was so intense that even he himself felt terrified.

If he were to erupt again, he probably wouldn’t be able to do it!

He successfully transformed into a gray mist under the stone sword and moved more than ten feet away.

Lu Yu’s stone sword came down hard onto the ground, splitting the earth beneath its blade.

A crack was continuously expanding, then in an instant it extended forward.

The crack is wider and longer.

This sword slash carved out a gorge that was dozens of feet deep and nearly a thousand feet long.

The carnage was more than ten meters away, standing at the edge of the chasm, as if standing before the abyss of hell.

His right shoulder split open until it tore.

Everyone could see the viscera split open by the stone sword on the wound on Lu Yu’s shoulder, along with flesh and bones, and even the beating heart.

This sword strike was just half an inch away from cleaving into the heart.

The body of the slaughter seemed as if it were about to split in half, with countless granulation tissues connecting the two sides, pulling the wound together as if stitching it shut.

The lips of the killer trembled, unable to believe this outcome.

The third strike, he definitely won’t be able to dodge!

Xie Ming and Xue Hai turned deathly pale, swallowing hard with a gulp.

Lu Tianming was also stunned.

What’s going on here?

Lu Yu managed to severely injure the Demon Lord. What kind of sword does he truly wield?

Lu Tianming was consumed with jealousy, wishing desperately that the sword belonged to him.

“Let’s go!”

With a thunderous roar, Xue Hai seized Lu Tianming, split the void with a single palm strike, and stepped into the void.

Xie Ming also grabbed the black-robed figure without hesitation and ran off.

Lu Yu saw Xie Ming’s palm twitch slightly, and in an instant, his right arm swung forward. The stone sword, still dozens of meters away from Xie Ming, had already been fiercely slashed downward.

“You want to leave? Not so easily!” Lu Yu swung his stone sword, and the air around him instantly froze.

However, Xie Ming had already calculated everything in advance. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted loudly, “Xie Blood Escape!”

Xie Ming spat out this mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, and the blood in the air immediately enveloped both Xie Ming and the man in the black robe.

At this moment, Lu Yu had already stepped forward in one stride, reaching the blood light, and his stone sword slashed into it.

Xie Ming let out a shriek, and the bloody light transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into thin air.

The crimson light recedes, leaving a severed arm lying on the ground.

Lu Yu picked up the arm without hesitation and placed it into his backpack.

This arm can be used to exchange items within the Celestial System.

The situation quickly turned into a three-on-two advantage.

A stone sword alone was enough to drive away two of the three evil masters.

The carnage also left him severely injured, and by the moment the two evil lords fled, he had only recovered a small portion of his wounds.

“I’m not willing to accept this,” Killian glared at Lu Yu with fury, gritting his teeth. “If you didn’t have that sword, you would surely be the one dead.”

“But now, I’m the one who wins.” Lu Yu said coldly, “What you took from me, return it now.”

Lu Yu turned around and walked toward the massacre, carrying the stone sword on his shoulder.

Sha Lu glared fiercely, his voice sharp with rage: “Die? I won’t let you kill me, not even in death.”

“You don’t have a chance anymore!”

Lu Yu spoke, three swords, he had already mastered the use of the stone sword.

Under this stone sword, there is no chance for slaughter at all.

When the carnage raised its remaining arm, the stone sword had already been lifted.

Dozens of mountain peaks pressed down onto Sha Lü’s body. His raised arm barely withstood the force for an instant before letting out a sharp “crack” and being shattered by the impact.

Lu Yu’s face turned pale, and his figure swayed unsteadily as the sword stroke was delivered, as if he might collapse at any moment.

But the sword had already indeed reached the heavens of slaughter.

Sha Lu sneered bitterly, “So that’s how it is. You can’t possibly use this sword endlessly either. Four strikes—that’s your limit. Damn it, too bad Xie Ming and Xue Hai escaped.”

Everything is too late now.

Lu Yu watched as the sword cleaved toward Tian Ling’s head, who no longer had the strength to evade.

The stone sword split the sky and was thrust outward between his legs.

A mighty魔王, a being who controlled the life and death of countless lives, met his end so easily.

At the moment when Lu Yu was about to be split in half by the blade of carnage, the stone sword had already transformed into dozens of gray beams of light and entered his arm.

Huang Ying and Huo Wu remained silent for a long time.

Lu Yu said with jealousy: “Congratulations. You actually got this sword.”

Lu Yu took a deep breath, steadying his trembling body, and said, “You seem to know the origin of this sword.”

Huáng Yǐng nodded and said, “I’ve heard something about it. Among the Demon Lords, there are rumors regarding this sword. It’s said to be a stone sword once used by someone who seemed to have crossed through darkness twice. However, this stone sword wasn’t originally his; he obtained it. This person had once fought against the Demon Ancestor.”

Lu Yu inhaled sharply, thinking of the terror of the Devil Ancestor.

Could it be that the master of this stone sword has actually reached such a level?

“No one will disturb us anymore. Shall we enter the seventh zone?” Huo Wu asked.

She continued speaking in her hoarse voice and did not reveal her true appearance even after Xie Ming and the others left.

Before entering here, Huo Wu had just reached level nine, which was still a bit lower than the true Demon Lord.

After devouring the dragon’s corpse, she still fell slightly short of reaching the ultimate limit of the Demon Monarch.

His father—once the Demon Lord.

This is also why Xie Ming and others have been provoking Huang Ying but dare not provoke Huo Wu.

Xie Ming and others always believed that Huo Wu was Fan Tian.

Even before the Demon Sovereign, the Demon Lord is nothing.

Therefore, Huo Wu doesn’t plan to reveal her true identity until she reaches the level of a Demon Lord.

“Come in.”

Lu Yu said seriously, “Since you’ve come all the way here, why not go in?”

Clutching the stone sword, with a ninth-level immortal body, he was capable of slaying even the Demon Lord.

However, Lu Yu didn’t know whether the Devil Ancestor was following behind him.

Therefore, Lu Yu planned to enter Zone Seven.

Lu Yu took a break and collected the slaughtered corpse, which was a complete demon lord’s body. He wondered what he could get for it in the Celestial God System.

Then, with the combined effort of several people, they managed to push open a small gap in the Dragon Vein Gate.

Through the crack of the door, dark light swirled, pulling several people into the bone door.

That tiny opening also quickly closed.

The moment Lu Yu and others entered the Bone Gate, a streak of blood light flashed, and Xie Ming, spitting blood profusely, fell out from the darkness.

Half of his skull was crushed, and the remaining arm was also deformed.

At the moment Xie Ming descended, the Night Demon and a skeleton appeared before Xie Ming.

“Demon of the Night, how can you be so powerful?” Xie Ming looked up, staring at the Demon of the Night in terror, his voice trembling, “No, you’re not the Demon of the Night; your power feels wrong. You, who exactly are you?”

“Us?” The Night Demon’s face split into a deeper grin, with tiny cracks oozing blood, and his lips curled slightly upward, appearing particularly grotesque beneath the myriad small wounds covering his face.

“I am the Demon Ancestor!” the night demon laughed. “Dying for me is your honor.”

The words “Demon Ancestor” seemed to hold a magical power, leaving Xie Ming stunned and rooted to the spot, unable to move.

The Demon Ancestor’s finger had already pierced through Xie Ming’s forehead.

Xie Ming’s body quickly withered, aged, and finally turned to dust.

During this process, the small wounds on the body of the Demon Ancestor were also rapidly contracting and disappearing.

The white skeleton with horns growing from its head let out a chilling laugh: “This time it’s troublesome. He’s entered the seventh zone, should we still follow him in?”

“That dragon is not friendly,” the Demon Ancestor said, retracting his finger and sucking away the first drop of blood from its tip. “I didn’t expect that Lu Yu would obtain that sword. I’ll have to find a stronger body to replace this one first.”

“The body of the Demon Lord should be suitable,” Bai Gu chuckled. “I can already sense the presence of the Demon Lord outside the dragon’s nest.”

“Then let’s go!”

The Demon Ancestor and White Bone also stepped into the darkness and vanished.

The dragon’s lair was calm.

In the seventh region, Lu Yu and the others beheld the true Dragon King.

In Lu Yu’s memory, the corpse of a dragon as massive as a planet floated in a vast emptiness.

The dragon corpse was truly dead, with not a trace of breath left in it.

“Don’t provoke it,” warned Huang Ying. “The Dragon King is the supreme ruler of the dragon lair. No one may approach the Dragon King except a challenger, not even a dragon corpse.”

Huowu said, “Search around and see if there are any treasures here.”

Several people searched through the void, but after several days, they found nothing.

“The Dragon King doesn’t need any burial companions,” Lu Yu said with a bitter smile. “Perhaps in his eyes, nothing is worthy enough to accompany him in death!”

Huowu sighed and said, “There’s nothing here that we can take with us. Devouring the dragon corpse was already a great gain.”

“Let’s go. This time’s gains have already been substantial.” Although Huang Ying was still very envious of Lu Yu’s收获, he could only feel helpless about it.

Lu Yu stared at the dragon king’s corpse floating in the void, his eyes flickering with light.

“Leave now. I’m going to stay here a little longer,” Lu Yu said. Huang Ying was startled and replied, “Lu Yu, don’t even think about approaching the Dragon King. Any contact might awaken all the dragons in the lair!”

“You two, leave.” Lu Yu was deep in thought.

Huang Ying was taken aback, let out a faint sigh, and said, “Take care of yourself!”

She knew she couldn’t persuade Lu Yu, and after casting one final glance at him, she left this darkness behind.

After the shadow left, Huo Wu took off her black robe and revealed her delicate, beautiful face.

“Big Brother!” Xiaoxiao’s cold face finally broke into a radiant smile as she threw herself into Lu Yu’s arms, her eyes red-rimmed.

Huowu looked at Lu Yu, her face slightly blushing, and said, “Lu Yu, you haven’t changed a bit.”

“I will always be myself, I can’t change,” Lu Yu also smiled, opened his arms, and pulled Huo Wu into his embrace. He then said seriously, “Be careful of the Demon Ancestor when you leave here.”

“Be careful here too,” Huo Wu said obediently nodding. “If anything unexpected happens to you, I’ll help you resolve the matter with the Lu family.”

Lu Yu’s smile vanished the moment he heard the words “Lu family.” He coldly said, “After leaving the Dragon’s Nest this time, I should head back home.”

After a few simple words of caution, Huo Wu and Xiao Xiao left together.

Lu Yu gathered all his thoughts, raised his head to look at the Dragon King’s corpse above, took a step forward, and murmured to himself, “If you truly are the Dragon King, then whose heart is this?”

Lu Yu’s hand trembled slightly, and a heart the size of a fist appeared in his palm.

Then, the heart beat once, and then grew larger.
