Chapter 234: Human Dragon

Dragon’s Nest, this is a self-contained, closed world!

Those who enter the Dragon’s Nest do not reveal what they have seen, because humans are selfish, and no one wants such a treasure trove to be discovered by others!

As the figures like Huang Ying departed, everything within the dragon’s lair was once again concealed.

The Sea of Blood will not speak, and Lu Tianming will not speak either.

Huang Ying, Huo Wu, and Xiao Xiao wouldn’t say anything either—the remaining魔王 had long been dead, and this place had become a secret.

Lu Yu has been sealed inside Zone Seven!

After he left Nanjing for the first year, people had almost forgotten about him.

This madman, who once stirred up a storm of bloodshed, became a legend. When Lu Yu disappeared in the first year, people within Nanjing City, unable to obtain supplies of Star Spirit Ore, secretly infiltrated the mines.

They did not see Lu Yu and boldly occupied the mine.

A new struggle for power begins.

When the second year passed, the army returned and reoccupied the mine, suppressing the original forces.

Nanjing has returned to its former days.

With the excavation of a large amount of grade-seven and grade-eight starseeds, countless individuals began breaking through to the peak of grade seven and grade eight. Moreover, across the entire Huaxia region, many people were reaching the peak of grade nine.

In the eyes of people, reaching the peak of the ninth level already means becoming a king!

Just when people thought they had already reached the end of the Star Soul and the limit of power—

Someone received information from the Demon Clan, revealing that there is an even greater power.

Above the ninth level, one becomes a Star Lord!

However, breaking through to the ninth level’s peak is no easy task.

People who pursued power began seeking ways to break through to become Star Lords, and some even started collaborating with the Demon Race, all for the sake of obtaining the path to becoming a Star Lord.

The existence of the City of Magic and its Master was gradually discovered!

People finally realized that there had actually been a stronger demon race existing all along!

In the third year, when nine figures returned across the stone bridge on the southern shore, people finally remembered that three years earlier, nine individuals who had once sworn allegiance to Lu Yu had entered the southern shore.

At that time, people believed that Lu Yu had given nine people to the demon race in exchange for peace in the northern region.

However, when these nine individuals walked back, people were left breathless.

Because the strength of these nine individuals is no longer at the fifth or sixth level; they are now nine peak-level ninth-stage experts.

“No, I can feel an even stronger power. It has surpassed the peak of the ninth level. This… one of them has already become a Star Master!” People exclaimed in shock.

At this time, in every city, there were many kings at the peak of the ninth level.

Yes, but there are not many true Star Lords.

Becoming a Star Lord, that power was already beyond human comparison.

On the first day that the nine entered Nanjing, they headed straight for the mine.

The most terrifying battle in Nanjing after Lu Yu.

People’s speculation is correct!

Among the nine, there is one Star Lord who possesses the ultimate power to rule over the entire world.

Even a king is but a palm before the Star Lord!

However, there was also a Star Lord within the army, and the battle caused the mine and the surrounding dozens of miles to collapse and shatter.

However, in the end, the nine prevailed.

That was also the first ever confrontation between Star Lords among humans!

This battle showcased the power of the Star Lord and made the terror of the Demon Lord evident!

All the martial arts experts in the army were killed, and Nanjing City returned to peace!

The Star Lord spoke within the mine: “Any soldier who dares to enter this city will surely die!”

With the Star Lord presiding, Nanjing City changed hands once again.

No one knew where Lu Yu had gone; all they knew was that the mine belonged to those nine people!

In the fourth year, the secret of the Dragon’s Nest finally spread, and one by one, powerful individuals possessing dragon-like strength entered the Dragon’s Nest according to the established rules.

Someone has made it into the top five thousand of the Dragon Arena.

There was also an instance where the fastest kill of a phantom was achieved in just fifteen seconds!

However, entering the fourth zone was already beyond everyone’s limits.

The highest match rate reached eighty percent.

When this person left the Dragon’s Nest, they were immediately taken away by the military.

Wisdom, strength, and comprehension — not everyone meets the requirements!

That year, there were only thirteen Star Lords who emerged among the human race. Among tens of millions of kings at the peak of the ninth level, there were only thirteen Star Lords, which shows how incredibly difficult it is to ascend to the rank of Star Lord!

In the fifth year, the mines in Xi’an were exhausted.

At the moment the last gemstone left the mine, a terrifying beast’s roar echoed from the depths of the mine pit.

As if the millennium-old seal had been broken, the heavenly pit, long forgotten by people, reappeared.

But this time, hundreds of thousands of monsters no longer appeared.

That was just a monster, a black two-headed snake over a thousand zhang long, emerging from a giant abyss.

The black snake’s body trembled, already destroying one-third of the city.

The Lu family, a very low-key family, is known to few outside the cities it controls.

But when this black serpent appeared, it made the Lu family’s reputation resound throughout the land of China.

That black snake is definitely a monster of the Dark Lord level.

At the moment the black serpent appeared in Xi’an, the Lu family had a total of three Star Lords and over a hundred King-level experts at the peak of the ninth realm simultaneously present.

A one-sided battle; the Black Snake didn’t even last ten minutes before being slain!

China was in an uproar.

It’s simply because so far there have been a total of seventeen Star Lords, and among them, the Lu family alone has produced three Star Lords within a single city.

The Lu family occupied more than ten cities.

How much strength have they actually hidden?

On this day, people came to recognize this large family.

A family that occupies more than ten cities in Xia, a rare feat in Huaxia!

In the sixth year, among the monsters that had evolved and grown stronger across the land, one of them gained the ability of teleportation.

One can easily tear through the void using the channel to move to other cities.

At this moment, people realized that their disappearance had been too isolated.

As information from thousands of cities across China began to connect, bits of data were gradually organized and compiled.

People were shocked!

At least two thousand cities in Huaxia are no longer in human hands.

These cities are known as Magic Cities, and each Magic City has its own Magic Lord!

They used illusions to conceal the Demon City, trapping anyone who entered inside, which is why the Demon City remains unknown to the world.

With the activation of the transportation ability, the Magic City was also opened, and the news spread rapidly.

Two thousand Demon Lords, this is equivalent to the power of a Star Lord.

Humans are still too weak.

These Demon Lords paid no attention to human development because they looked down upon human strength.

What are dozens of Star Lords among two thousand Demon Lords?

The Demon Lord has been present since the end of the world; they have merely been developing quietly, paying no attention to humanity at all!

The seventh year —

Once again, the Demon Lord and humans joined forces and stepped into the fifth area of the Dragon’s Nest.

A warrior entered the top 4,000 in the Dragon Arena, causing another sensation.

Because with the opening of the Dragon’s Nest, it has become clear that those who can enter the top ten thousand in the Dragon Arena are already at the level of maniacs.

In the following three years, Lu Yu had already been forgotten by people.

In Nanjing and Fanggang, few people still mention Lu Yu these days.

Port City has Xiaoxiao, a beautiful and noble princess who has become the ruler of Port City in place of Lu Yu.

Many admirers came specifically for this purpose, yet meeting Xiao Xiao proved to be extremely difficult.

Because, Xiaoxiao—one of the thirty-two star masters of the Huaxia!

The harbor is not big, but it is Xiaoxiao’s shining city!

In these three years, people have activated the Celestial System, opened the Dragon’s Nest, and even allied themselves with the Demon Lord to destroy city after city in an attempt to initiate the Demon Dominion.

When the strong emerge, resources become abundant. Many who previously had no opportunities due to a lack of supplies now begin to shine as well.

The tenth year since Lu Yu’s disappearance—

In the fifth sector of the Dragon’s Nest, several demon lords cried out in astonishment, while six young men and women couldn’t help but cheer aloud.

“Zone Six, finally entered Zone Six.”

These demon lords were incredibly thrilled!

The reason why the Demon Race allowed humans to develop, aside from the Unified Demon Territory, was mostly because of the Dragon’s Nest.

Only the strong have more opportunities to venture deeper into the Dragon’s Nest!

More than half a year later, three Demon Lords and six young human men and women stood before the giant bone gate.

“Zone Seven!” A demon lord gazed upward at the bone gate, his voice filled with excitement. “I wonder what treasures might be hidden here.”

A young man said proudly, “Lord Flame Demon, if we succeed this time, I believe my reward should be even higher, right?”

The demon lord known as Flame of Fury nodded and said, “Indeed, I won’t let you down!”

Another young man said excitedly, “Lord Huangyan, if I leave this place, will my strength reach the peak of the ninth level?”

Another Demon Lord nodded and said, “That should be no problem!”

The man shouted joyfully, “Great! Now I can go to Fanggang. Haha, I’ve heard that the first female star in human history is absolutely beautiful!”

The remaining men and women couldn’t help but light up with bright eyes and said, “Are you talking about Xiaoxiao?”

“I’ve heard that Xiaoxiao has someone she likes. She doesn’t even look at other men.”

“I heard that there is a man named Lu Tianming in the Lu family who has proposed to Xiaoxiao multiple times, but was rejected each time. It is said that this Lu Tianming became a Star Lord five years ago.”

A woman cupped her hands over her heart and exclaimed, “Oh! The Lu family has produced six Star Lords over these years. Their influence is tremendous, to the point where even the military is reluctant to provoke them. When members of the Lu family proposed marriage to Xiaoxiao, she refused them all. She’s just too devoted!”

“I’ve been to Fanggang City. I heard that in the past, Fanggang belonged to someone named Lu Yu.” Another person was about to say more, but was interrupted by the Demon King.

Lieyan said, “Alright, save your discussion until we leave here. Now, head into the seventh area first—it’s the Dragon King’s Lair, so be cautious.”

Three demon lords, along with six others, exerted all their strength to push open the bone door.

The bone gate rumbled and roared as it opened once again after a decade.

Nine people were transported into the dragon’s lair by black mist.

In that moment, a brilliant flash illuminated the eyes of the nine people, even the Demon Lord was stunned by the vision before him.

Before their eyes was an endless void.

In the void, a colossal gray dragon, a million zhang in length, hovered suspended in midair.

Bang!

Inside the dragon’s body, a strong and powerful heartbeat suddenly echoed out.

“This… this can’t still be alive!” A devil monarch’s heart nearly stopped, his pupils constricting to the size of needle points.

Crossing through darkness twice, this has already reached the limit of a part of one’s life.

A girl pointed in the direction of the dragon’s head and stammered, “Th-there’s someone over there!”

“What?” Everyone’s gaze followed the direction of the pointing finger.

Indeed, it was a person, with hair cascading down to the shoulders, obscuring the face!

However, on this person, one could not sense the slightest trace of human presence. What sent chills down the nine people’s spines was that the lower part of this individual’s body was deeply embedded within the Dragon King’s skull, as if fused together with it!
