Chapter 274: Separation of Spirit and Bone

The sea wind howled, and waves crashed against the yellow springs land. Everyone stood there, stunned!

The Huangquan land floating on the sea surface is incredibly hard, impervious even to attacks from Emperors, inspiring awe and fear in people’s hearts.

But at this moment, the Four Supreme Ones were all a bit stunned!

What do you mean?

So you’re just going to stop playing?

The Hydra claims the title of King Zun, symbolizing an awe-inspiring dignity that must not be desecrated.

Lu Yu’s use of the Hydra to refine deadly toxins is already a form of desecration.

If the Hydra doesn’t kill Lu Yu, how can it be considered the King’s Honor?

All eyes turned to Hydra, puzzled by the strange words that had just come out of its mouth!

In an instant, they suddenly understood.

If the Hydra had a complexion, it would surely be pitch black with rage.

But now, they could also sense the Hydra’s weakness.

In the past month and a half, while fighting off the cold poison that had invaded his body, Jiu Tou She has been pushing his skills to their limits, nearing exhaustion.

After all, Lieyang is not an ordinary skill; it is one of the nine strongest skills of the Nine-Headed Snake.

Even making a person run continuously for a month and a half could kill them from exhaustion.

Moreover, having a powerful being like the Nine-Headed Hydra continuously unleash its strongest skill for over a month and a half has left it nearly exhausted.

The nine-headed monster was barely holding on, giving off an aura of being on the verge of collapse.

Realizing this point, the four Zun fell silent.

Lu Yu was reduced to this state by the Star Lord’s machinations.

Among the supreme beings, Hydra holds the first place.

It can be considered as setting a record!

Hydra was well aware that everyone had figured out what was going on. It hated Lu Yu so much that it wished to swallow him whole, crush every bone in his body, and leave not even an inch remaining.

However, his condition did not allow it.

The hydra let out a shrill screech, and the swarm of snakes retreated.

The strange eagles in the sky also turned their heads.

The three-headed wolf and the misty figure remained mere spectators from beginning to end, offering no comments aside from participating in the battle.

A mighty army of a million soldiers surged forward, their momentum fierce and unstoppable.

But who could have imagined that the outcome would be such a setback!

“Human, next time I won’t wait—I will destroy your land directly. You have enraged me, and I will use your homeland to bury you alive,” the Hydra still spoke arrogantly.

He is weak, yet still supreme!

The people of Huaxia watched in stunned silence as the million-strong army retreated, unable to fathom the dramatic turn of events that had just unfolded.

Pair after pair of eyes stared at Lu Yu, stunned. All that remained was terror and shock!

Even Lu Yu has pushed the Supreme Being to such a desperate situation!

Bai Zhan looked at Lu Yu, his expression grave.

Lu Yu posed too great a threat to him.

Just—

Bai Zhan stared at Lu Yu with a fierce smile and said, “Kid, get even stronger. I’ll be waiting for you.”

He is called “Hundred Battles” because he challenged a Supreme Being in his hundredth battle and achieved a draw, earning him the title of Supreme!

He is a madman; no one can understand his thoughts.

At this moment, the enemy has retreated from the battlefield, and many people still cannot understand why.

This isn’t quite the grand battle they had imagined!

It ended way too dramatically!

What’s left is naturally to clean up the battlefield.

The corpse of the dead demon lord of the Xia people was collected. This had once been a companion, but after death, it could only be used for exploitation; such is the survival law of the demon race.

There are more original demons and dead Japanese people.

Unfortunately, the corpses of the deceased had already been devoured by the underworld.

Lu Yu needs these lives to strengthen the Yellow Spring Field!

The ground was littered with storage pearls or backpacks. These Japanese soldiers were prepared for a prolonged war in Huaxia, with some even carrying food supplies on their backs.

“Leave the bodies of all the original demon lords here; you can take whatever they have on them,” Lu Yu decided after discussing with Bai Zhan and Ming Zun, determining what he wanted.

At this moment, Lu Yu proposed his terms, and not a single Demon Lord dared to step forward to protest.

They really don’t have the qualifications anymore!

Even the Supreme One was nearly devoured by him!

The title of “Number One Below the Emperor” isn’t just for show; it’s a title backed by genuine ability and substance!

Lu Yu now possesses the strength to sit side by side with the Supreme Being!

Bai Zhan sneered coldly, “The human Celestial System grants rewards by consuming demon bodies. This mechanism benefits you humans, but it also benefits us. The Demon King’s body cannot be handed over to you. Moreover, our demon race has suffered greater losses and invested far more. Therefore, taking three-quarters of the reward should not be excessive, should it?”

“That won’t do,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Don’t forget, without Yaoyue, the number of deaths would have been several times what it is now—perhaps even the entire Moon Demon sect could have been wiped out. So, don’t you think three-quarters is too much?”

Lu Yu fought hard because the body of the Demon Lord was of utmost importance!

At this moment, many people looked up at the sky.

Lian Bai Zhan raised his head to look at the sky, his expression dark and gloomy.

Lou Xiaoyu also descended from the sky onto the land of Huangquan. She was ethereal and fairy-like, possessing a beauty that was pure and untouchable.

Many people dare not look directly at this seemingly delicate woman.

Yaoyue, who has become the Star Lord, is no longer the weak one hiding in the shadows.

Yaoyue’s attacking power is almost invincible at her level; without a Supreme stepping in, it would be hard to find anyone who could match her.

Bai Zhan had to admit that without Yao Yue, facing tens of thousands of demonic cultivators, the Chinese demon clans might very likely have been completely wiped out.

He acknowledged what Lu Yu said.

However, this does not mean that he would not fight for rewards.

“One third,” Bai Zhan hesitated for a moment, then announced a new price!

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay!”

He nodded.

Mingzun did not object either.

The demon clan indeed suffered significant losses; taking two-thirds of their belongings is not excessive.

The remaining task is to clean up the battlefield.

This kind of task naturally falls to a King of the Ninth Level to handle. Everyone gathered in the center of the Yellow Spring Continent.

The collected spoils of war piled up into several small mountains.

Among them, there were more than 300 million Star Spirit Stones, not to mention the Star Spirit Beads and mutated Star Spirit Beads.

At the final moment of equality, the people once again divided themselves anew.

Who will take control of the city of the deceased Demon Lord needs to be discussed one by one.

Lu Yu had already obtained more than fifty bodies of the Devil Monarchs, and adding those that had been unused previously, the total number reached as many as seventy Devil Monarch bodies.

It has been thirty years since the incident.

Mingzun alone obtained a hundred of them.

The remaining Star Lords also received rewards of ten each.

A large amount of Star Spirit Stones and Mutated Star Spirit Beads were naturally awarded as well.

Everyone who participates in the battle here will receive generous rewards.

This news eventually reached Shanghai, leaving many kings both surprised and even more envious.

War is the quickest way to make a fortune.

As long as you survive, there’s nothing you can’t obtain.

Many people immediately threw themselves into battle, striving to become the Star Lord and preparing for the next fight.

After the distribution here was completed, Bai Zhan spoke up: “Let’s go. Now that we know the enemy’s strength, it’s time to make better preparations.”

After a hundred battles, Lu Yu issued an order, and all the demonic clans retreated.

There is only one Demon Lord in Huaxia, and at this moment, he is the king of the demon race!

No demon dared to defy the Demon Lord’s command.

In an instant, on the land of Huangquan, fewer than twenty people remained.

Among the Demon Lords, all except Huo Wu left.

In this battle, nearly ten star masters from Huaxia were lost as well.

The remaining star lords bid farewell to the Dark Sovereign and departed.

There were still four people left in the arena: Ming Zun, Huo Wu, Lou Xiaoyu, and Lu Yu.

The Supreme Being handed the stone sword back to Lu Yu and praised, “Your growth has been beyond expectation. I look forward to the path you will walk in the future!”

Lu Yu took the stone sword, put it away, and said, “Thank you, senior, for your kind words!”

“Alright. I should be leaving now,” Mingzun said, patting Lu Yu on the shoulder, then glancing at Huowu. “I’ll come to Fanggang when I have time, but for now, I still need to go capture Luomo!”

When mentioning Luo Mo, Ming Zun’s face darkened, and he coldly said, “He’s become even harder to catch than before. Moreover, he’s now more cautious; he might have already left China.”

“Luomo!” Lu Yu recalled that strange young man, and his expression involuntarily turned serious.

A person who is very difficult to defeat.

The separation of the twin soul is impossible to resolve!

Lu Yu shook his head, dismissing Luo Mo’s question aside. After making sure no one else was around, he lowered his voice and said, “Senior, the Demon Ancestor is still alive!”

“What?” The Dark Sovereign’s face darkened abruptly as he exclaimed, “The Demon Ancestor is alive? No, he disappeared when the Darkness fell—how could he still be alive?”

“Yes, he’s still alive!” Lu Yu nodded solemnly, then proceeded to tell the Dark Ruler everything he had witnessed inside the Dragon’s Nest.

“This, this kind of severe injury must have happened—how else would he resort to separating soul from flesh?” Ming Zun exclaimed in shock. “I once saw the statue of the Demon Ancestor; that white skeleton should be the Demon Ancestor’s demonic bone! The Demon Ancestor was also a powerful being of great wisdom, capable of creating the Demon Race, which sufficiently proves his extraordinary strength. Unless he had suffered a life-threatening wound, he would never have survived by employing such a method of separating soul and bone. Could it be that he’s hiding within the overlapping space inside the dragon’s nest because he encountered a formidable enemy?”

The Supreme Dark One asked in detail about some specifics of the Demon Ancestor, then turned serious and said, “Be cautious. The Demon Ancestor needs a body strong enough to withstand his power when merging the spirit bones. Your body is extremely powerful, comparable even to that of a Demon. Therefore, since the Demon Ancestor has set his sights on you, once you become a Sovereign, he will certainly make a move to seize your physical form.”

Thinking of the terrifying power of the Devil Ancestor in the Dragon’s Nest, Lu Yu’s mood also became heavier.

Mingzun once again earnestly advised Lu Yu on several points and was genuinely preparing to leave this time.

“Senior, why don’t you come with me to Fanggang?” Lu Yu invited again, then winked.

“You—”

Mingzun felt somewhat surprised to be invited by Lu Yu for the second time.

Then he caught on and said, “Alright.”

“Xiaoyu, Huowu, come with me,” Lu Yu said simply.

The two women nodded.

As the Yellow Spring大地 faded away, the four individuals vanished together from the ocean’s surface.

After seeing the domain set up by Lu Yu, the Dark Sovereign exclaimed in surprise: “I didn’t expect you to have obtained a domain crystal as well. In the past, these were precious items used exclusively for establishing the main cities of major factions.”

“Senior, let’s go inside and talk.”

After leading Mingzun, Huowu, and Lao Xiaoyu into the domain, Lu Yu turned serious and said, “Senior, and also Huowu and Xiaoyu, what I’m about to tell you now must be kept strictly confidential.”

Lu Yu carefully explained the secret hidden in the Level One system.

“Such a system exists too?” Even Ming Zun was greatly astonished. This piece of information indeed needed to be kept secret.

If this gets out, it’s possible that humans and the demon race might actually break apart.

It could also potentially trigger a major upheaval!
