Chapter 259: Melee

The island isn’t big, and the strongest person here is a Level 9 King.

For Lu Yu now, he can kill thousands with just one finger.

Five million Star Spirit Stones may not seem like a huge amount, but someone who owns a mine would likely possess about that much!

However, there were actually two Grade 9 Star Spirit Stones among them.

Just these two Grade 9 Star Spirit Stones are enough to make this job worthwhile.

Lu Yu moved with ruthless efficiency, exuding an aura of deadly intent. When it came to collecting the spoils of battle, he was like a whirlwind devouring the remnants.

Five million Star Spirit Stones, along with tens of millions of various items, were completely gone in less than a minute.

Then Lu Yu instructed Xiaoquan to collect all the items from the deceased’s body, as well as the star soldiers.

With this calculation, there are also millions of Star Spirit Stones and other items.

Even Koizumi was envious.

Robbery really is the fastest way to make money!

But damn, this makes money faster than robbing pirates!

Heavenly Emperor, this is not something I took by force. I was merely compelled by necessity.

“If I had the power, I’d do the same thing in the future!” Xiaquan said with a fierce expression. Although he knew the items he collected didn’t belong to him, he still worked extremely hard!

Lu Yu quickly scanned the small island, confirming that there were no more survivors, then firmly grabbed Xiaoquan and rushed toward the next target.

Xiao Quan pointed toward a stretch of sea and said, “Over there, there’s a group with two thousand members—it’s a force stronger than ours. I’ve heard they have two Star Lords!”

Koizumi spoke truthfully, and for the sake of survival, he seemed ready to betray anyone!

Lu Yu isn’t afraid of Xiao Quan trying any tricks either!

Carrying Xiaoquan, he crossed a vast expanse of ocean once again and set foot on an island.

At the very moment the two individuals stood on the small island, deep within the island, two beams of light had already split the sky.

This is no ordinary skill; each one surges with the power of a Star Lord.

Two different forces intervened, indicating that two Star Lords had taken action.

While deterring, it is also necessary to strike the enemy with a decisive blow.

The two never intended to let anyone who set foot on this island survive.

Boom!

Power surged around Lu Yu, shattering the two forces into pieces in an instant.

Deep within the island, hundreds of cries of alarm echoed.

Xiao Quan, held in Lu Yu’s hand, was once again taken aback.

This is too terrifying. He actually managed to withstand the power of two Star Lords.

Is this the Star Lord?

Is it the Supreme One?

No, this power is still far too inferior to reach the level of the Supreme.

But, damn it, it’s too terrifying! Even the Star Lord was instantly killed!

After the first strike, the battle had already begun.

Lu Yu clearly meant to end the fight quickly. As soon as he engaged, he immediately unleashed the Quaking Nether.

The darkened land engulfed the entire island.

Lu Yu moves freely across this land.

Xiao Quan stared even more intently, his eyes wide open, trying to catch every movement of Lu Yu’s trajectory.

But every time Lu Yu moved, someone had to die, and the clusters of Huangquan Blades were even more ferocious than the scythe of the Grim Reaper.

Countless people were harvested.

Two star masters chased after Lu Yu, letting out strange cries without stop, yet they could never catch even a glimpse of Lu Yu’s shadow.

Lu Yu only turned his attention to the two Star Lords when there were no other enemies left on the island, except for these two remaining star masters.

“Chinaman dog!” someone shouted in a clumsy Chinese accent.

“For the dead, you can only satisfy your craving with your mouths,” Lu Yu sneered, and with a single palm strike, he shattered the head of a Star Lord.

Another star master’s weapon struck down on Lu Yu’s crown, shattering the weapon and fracturing both of his arm bones.

Xiao Quan rubbed his eyes and shouted, “Oh my God, I must have seen wrong! This is no human being!”

From start to finish, Lu Yu had been attacking with just one hand, while the other hand was still holding him up. Even like this, he could kill a Star Lord—this must be what a Supreme is like!

As the second-ranking Star Lord’s star soldier shattered, he turned around and fled immediately.

Vroom!

Thousands of blades from the Yellow Spring rained down from the sky, severing the Star Lord’s limbs.

“Your task is to find out where the items are!” Lu Yu threw Xiaquan to the ground and began collecting the loot by himself.

Xiaoquan looked at Xingzhu helplessly, then began to act.

I don’t know where Xiao Quan learned these tactics. Within five minutes, this Star Lord had already revealed the location of the treasure.

A group like this, with two Star Lords, had plundered countless cities, accumulating an enormous amount of loot.

Xiao Quan held the Star Master in his arms and, together with Lu Yu, entered a cluster of coastal reefs, diving into the heart of the island through an underwater cave.

The treasures accumulated here were even more numerous than those on the island where Xiaoquan resided.

More than fifty million Star Spirit Stones, and over one hundred million Star Spirit Pearls and Mutated Star Spirit Pearls had nearly filled up the entire mountain cave.

At this moment, it seemed as if a monstrous dragon were roaring within Lu Yu’s body.

A small grass plant was placed inside a crystal box. The grass was red, with blood-colored light flickering on it, resembling a tiny blood dragon coiling around it.

“The Blood-Eating Grass, ranked fourth in toxicity!” Lu Yu burst into laughter when he saw the small plant inside the crystal box.

Unexpectedly, he found another highly toxic substance here, bringing him one step closer to his goal.

The star master kept cursing, but could only watch helplessly as the mountain-like treasures vanished completely in an instant.

“You can die too!” Lu Yu raised his hand, and two Blades of the Yellow Spring rose from the ground, piercing through the Star Lord’s chest.

Vroom!

The Yellow Spring trembled again, and the tremor intensified!

The nine levels of hell trembled, finally reaching the peak.

When Zhanmo fused with the Dragon King in the dragon’s lair, he used the power from the Dragon King’s bloodline to ascend to the ninth level, thus creating thousands upon thousands of Zhanmo swords.

Although the trembling of the Yellow Spring is considered the power of the demon race, it did not evolve.

However, after absorbing the flesh and blood of the Star Lord, it still ascended to the top level.

“Stay at the entrance, don’t leave,” Lu Yu ordered Xiaoquan.

He then sat cross-legged within the mountain’s core.

Zhan Mo and Huangquan share similarities in their tremors, yet they belong to two distinct forms of power.

It has great power, yet does not share the same origin.

Lu Yu had been contemplating how to integrate the two forces at the moment he acquired them.

Now both forces have reached their peak; it’s unknown what effect their fusion might have!

Koizumi didn’t know what Lu Yu was going to do!

However, he is now completely terrified of Lu Yu.

Who has ever seen such a powerful person?

Who else but the Supreme Being could be so powerful as to instantly defeat the Lord of Demons!

Now that he’s allowed to escape, he’s too scared to dare!

Three days later—

Lu Yu’s eyes flew open, and within his body, a surge of azure and a stream of black energy rapidly merged!

A voice echoed in Lu Yu’s mind, “Congratulations! You have successfully fused Zhanmo with Huangquan Tremor, obtaining the new power Huangquan大地 (Huangquan大地 likely refers to ‘Huangquan Earth’ or ‘Underworld Earth’).”

Yellow Spring Domain:

Level: Nine!

Attribute: None!

Description: Combining the powerful damage of Demon-Slaying against demons and the armor-ignoring attack of the Quaking Underworld, within the Realm of the Underworld, any attack you launch will turn any life it touches into the water of the Underworld!

Effect: The Yellow Spring Field will release endless waters of the Yellow Spring, flooding all lands within a hundred kilometers. Within this area, your body can move freely. Moreover, as you slay more enemies, the Yellow Spring Field will expand infinitely!

Skill: Yellow Spring’s Body – Your body will assimilate with the waters of the Yellow Spring, becoming part of the domain. If one cannot break through this domain, you will be invincible within the waters of the Yellow Spring!

Ability: The Yellow Spring Field is an attack-oriented domain, closely related to the user’s mental strength. If an attacker cannot collapse the user’s mental resilience, no one will be able to leave the domain!

Haha!

Lu Yu laughed heartily and sprang up from the stone floor.

Boom—

In an instant, boundless water vapor around Lu Yu transformed into a vast ocean, surging upward to strike the stone wall in the sky.

This vast ocean was like a dragon thousands of meters long; in the instant it struck the stone wall above, it pierced right through it.

Suddenly—

The water dragon exploded.

Each droplet fell toward the island like a meteor, and each drop erupted in a thunderous roar as it descended.

Lu Yu grabbed Xiaoquan and teleported to the sky above the island.

At this moment, the first drop of water had just fallen onto the island, like a strike from the Star Master that shattered a mountain into pieces.

“Oh my God, what am I seeing?” Xiao Quan’s mouth was wide open, almost reaching his earlobes!

At this moment, a heavy rainstorm fell upon the island.

This is a catastrophic disaster.

A small island, several kilometers long, sank in an instant, as if it had never existed.

The droplets that had fallen into the ocean surged forth again, transforming once more into a ten-thousand-meter-long water dragon that charged into Lu Yu’s body.

“Devil, you must be a devil! If you dare to say you’re not, I’ll never believe it, even if I die!” Xiaquan shouted, waving his hands and jumping around.

“Cut the chatter and tell me the next target!”

Lu Yu tightened his grip with his five fingers, and Xiaoquan immediately pointed in another direction!

This day was nothing short of a catastrophe for the pirates at sea!

An island stretching for twenty miles is considered quite large among the islands at sea.

Over the sea surface, more than ten warships surrounded the small island, launching a fierce attack.

When Lu Yu’s teleportation suddenly appeared above the island, dozens of beams of light abruptly rose from the island and shot toward him.

Lu Yu quickly flashed out of the attack range with Xiaoquan in one step.

It was at this moment that Lu Yu finally saw two groups of people engaged in a fierce battle near the shore of the island.

One group was a combination of white and black people with blond hair and blue eyes, while the other side consisted of Asians.

As soon as Koizumi saw the situation, he immediately said, “I heard that a few days ago, this group robbed two cities in Australia. They should be the ones chasing after them.”

Lu Yu sneered coldly, “You sure have some nerve, setting your sights on China and daring to provoke others. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll bite off more than you can chew and end up choking on it?”

Koizumi smiled awkwardly, muttering to himself, “If I had known earlier that you’re such a monster, we’d never have dared to rob China’s territory, even if it meant being beaten to death.”

Each side has two Star Lords, and the four of them are now locked in an intense aerial battle, evenly matched and unable to gain the upper hand.

On the small island, the two sides were locked in fierce combat with nearly three thousand men involved, making it difficult to determine a winner in a short time.

Of course, both sides noticed Lu Yu and Xiaoquan, but couldn’t figure out what kind of pair they were.

Plus, none of them had time to pay attention to Lu Yu, as they were all focused on the battle at hand.

The white and black side couldn’t make progress for a while, gritting their teeth in frustration,恨不得 (恨不得 here might be better translated contextually) wishing they had more hands.

Note: The original Chinese sentence contains a culturally specific expression “恨不得” which literally means “wish to” but carries the nuance of intense longing or frustration. In English, an idiom like “wishing they had more hands” conveys the idea of wanting extra help or ability to solve the problem. If you’d like a more literal translation while preserving the nuance, it could be:

The white and black side couldn’t make progress for a while, gritting their teeth in frustration, as if they wished they could grow a few extra hands.

The Japanese pirates, on the other hand, were filled with murderous intent, killing solely for the sake of slaughter, and their momentum was even more overwhelming.

Suddenly, the two people they had long neglected sprang into action.

Lu Yu stepped into the battlefield in a single stride and, with a fierce palm strike, instantly defeated two Japanese pirates who were at the ninth King level.

Uh!

The pirate was confused!

Black and white people were even more confused.

This person is also of the yellow race, so how come he’s helping them kill people?

In the brief moment they were stunned, the East Asian man before their eyes struck again with a single punch, like a dragon piercing through the chests of dozens of pirates lined up in a straight line.

“Au!”

The allied forces of black and white soldiers, regardless of their differences, charged at the remaining enemies like a fierce tiger at this moment.

As long as this yellow person isn’t an enemy, it doesn’t matter who they are!
