Chapter 276: Here to Slay Demons

Star Guidance Technique:

Rank: None.

Description: The Star-Calling Art is extremely ancient, and its unique ability inevitably sparks contention wherever it appears. When you wield the power of Star-Calling, you will obtain the true might of the stars—the most formidable strength of the Star Soul.

Skill: Celestial Reception – The Star-Calling Technique will invoke different powers from the starry river according to your strength, bestowing corresponding enhancements upon you.

The power of the stars knows no bounds; once successfully channeled, it will continuously drain one’s vitality.

There is not much description about the Star-Calling Technique, nor are there any specific details, which gives it an unreal and unconvincing feel!

However, as Lu Yu continued studying the Star-Calling Art, a vast amount of related information flooded into his mind.

Compared to the descriptions and skills Lu Yu had obtained, these documents were what truly shocked him.

The Star-Invoking Art connects to the power of stars without limitations, unrestricted by the upper limit of star souls. Once the stellar power is activated, all attributes can stack infinitely.

The power that the Star Lord can channel and the power that the Supreme Being can approach are different.

Lu Yu examined it carefully and was finally stunned.

“This… can this Star-Calling Technique be used to temper weapons?”

Lu Yu was a bit slow to react.

Although the Star-Calling Art does not record methods for forging weapons.

This was only a brief mention, yet it allowed Lu Yu to sense something extraordinary.

A skill that appears within a top-tier supreme system, used for forging weapons, could never possibly be meant for crafting mere ordinary star weapons of just the seventh or eighth grade.

After carefully analyzing the obtained information, Lu Yu could confirm that this Star-Calling Art was not only ancient but also a unique and unparalleled ability!

During the time when he acquired the Fire Dragon Explosion and the Star-Calling Art, China was not peaceful either.

There have been continuous frictions between China and Japan.

Numerous battles have erupted on the ocean’s surface.

Both sides had the involvement of Demon Lords and Star Lords, with over ten thousand monarchs participating at the peak, causing an entire island to be sunk in the battle.

It was always a very intense match.

However, both sides wisely refrained from rushing into each other’s territory.

Because in this way, a minor friction could very likely escalate into a full-scale war.

No one would dare to do such a thing before the Supreme Lord gives the order!

“The Phantasm Star Soul Orb evolution is complete—”

“Congratulations! You have obtained the Phantom Spirit Pearl!”

Ten days after successfully mastering the Star-Calling Art, Lu Yu finally witnessed the completion of the Phantom Star Soul Orb’s evolution.

Phantom Spirit Pearl—

Rank: None.

Effect: 80% of the enemy’s attack damage will be neutralized by the Phantom Spirit Pearl.

Activate special skill:

The Skill of the Stars—

Ten Stars – When the skill is activated, it will summon ten Illusory Spirit Beads. These ten Illusory Spirit Beads possess offensive capabilities; once an attack command is issued, they will unleash a wave of attacks at a rate of one thousand strikes per second, affecting all living beings within a ten-mile radius. Each strike inflicts one billion points of damage. This attack bypasses physical defenses, and if it strikes armor, it will cause damage equivalent to one billion points of defense.

Each release of the Ten-Star technique requires the caster to sacrifice ten trillion points of health to unleash it once.

Bai Star – When the skill is activated, it will summon one hundred Illusory Spirit Beads. Each bead has the ability to absorb a single lethal attack. After absorbing a lethal attack, each bead will shatter.

One hundred stars are released at the cost of sinews and bones; each release of the hundred stars consumes one hundred trillion sinews and bones, lasting for twenty-four hours. The consumed sinews and bones require forty-eight hours to recover.

The Starfall – Once summoned, the mighty Starfall will form a dense cluster of ten thousand stars surrounding the caster. Any living being that steps into the range of the Starfall will be restricted by its power, suffering a decrease of one percent in all attributes per minute. When the enemy’s health drops below one trillion, it will instantly endure a round of attacks from the Starfall, which ignores both bones and armor defense.

The Star Surge will be unleashed at the cost of devouring ten ninth-grade star weapons, and its duration will last for two hours!

Your semi-completed Star Bone has been detected. Once the Star Bone is fully completed, devouring the Phantom Spirit Pearl will trigger its next evolution!

“Hiss!”

Lu Yu was shocked.

It’s just an evolution. Each of the three skills of the Phantom Spirit Pearl is too powerful.

“This skill will definitely help me tear through the hydra’s defense the next time we meet!”

Lu Yu spoke to himself, becoming extremely excited.

He was not the supreme being, nor did he harbor any illusions about defeating the hydra. However, as long as he could tear through the hydra’s defenses and obtain its blood, that would be enough.

Ten drops of blood can create ten Star Armors. Then, using these ten Star Armors to fight against the Hydra, he firmly believes that he can wear down at least one of the Hydra’s heads!

The Ten Stars of the Phantom Soul Pearl involves a life-for-life exchange with the enemy, truly embodying the saying “killing the enemy at the cost of one’s own thousand lives.”

Ten Phantom Spirit Beads unleash a round of attacks, dealing ten trillion points of damage.

One must also pay the price of ten trillion lives.

Of course, using this skill to clear out weak monsters within the area is feasible enough. If it ever came down to a life-or-death struggle, exchanging ten trillion for ten trillion isn’t out of the question either.

Don’t forget there’s also the threefold bonus from the Fire Dragon Explosion, which is equivalent to exchanging one hundred billion for three hundred billion—it’s truly feasible for a life-or-death battle!

As for the two skills, Hundred Stars and Multitude of Stars, when unleashed, even the Overlords would feel apprehensive.

Star Guidance, Dragon Fire Explosion, and the Phantom Spirit Pearl.

After the battle with the Nine-headed Dragon, the gains were truly significant.

Lu Yu stood up from the mine, puffed out his chest, and felt an urge to laugh out loud.

However, in the end, he glanced at the sky, pressed his lips together, and did not manage to smile.

There must be some mechanical device in the sky watching him.

It’s better not to get too excited.

He walked around the mine and, in the depths of the pit, saw hundreds of demonic apes working hard to excavate.

The current mine pit has already reached a depth of three hundred meters and is becoming scorching hot!

After reaching the area where Level 9 Star Spirit Ore was discovered, it was already fortunate for hundreds of魔猿 (magic apes) to mine just a few pieces of ore within a month.

Moreover, it is extremely rare for these ores to yield even a single Grade 9 Star Spirit Stone.

The demon floated like a shadow in the dark corners of the sky well.

“Sixth level.” Lu Yu received the information from the demon’s consciousness and slightly curled his lips, saying, “Hurry up and evolve. When you reach the ninth level, no—perhaps even the Supreme might be possible.”

Lu Yu remembered the mist surrounding the Hydra; its aura was so similar to that of the demon!

Here, he obtained information from numerous魔猿, suggesting that this mine might contain at least a thousand grade-nine Star Spirit Stones.

This was deduced by the魔猿s based on the few pieces of ninth-level Star Spirit Stones they have excavated during this period.

A demon ape looked at the mine in the center where a domain crystal was suspended and said, “If we were to excavate the central mine as well, perhaps we could harvest up to two thousand pieces! After all, usually the closer to the center, the higher the density of star spirits’ stones.”

Lu Yu stared uneasily at the Star Spirit Ore at his feet.

This feeling had been present ever since he entered.

“Mine it slowly, and don’t touch the mountain in the very center!” Lu Yu ordered.

Once a mine yields several pieces of level-nine Star Spirit Stones, a monster of the Demon Lord class will appear.

This small town can actually yield up to 2,000 at most. What kind of monster could be sealed beneath it then?

Not the Supreme One!

The Star Soul of Slaughter is here, and even the Blood Tower is present. In such a small city, there exists a mine containing an incredibly vast amount of resources.

This can no longer be considered an accident.

Lu Yu quickly calculated that, combining what he had looted and collected, he now possessed a total of thirty-two grade-nine star spirit stones.

Still two-thirds away from the hundredth in the field of evolution.

Lu Yu had accumulated hundreds of millions of various items during this period, leaving him no time to think about them all.

Now Liu Xing’s task is to sort through and search for valuable items among them.

After saying goodbye to his mother, Lu Yu arrived at the interior of the Tian Shen Organization in Fanggang City.

Lu Yu is now a household name in Huaxia, with no one left who doesn’t recognize him.

Especially since the Celestial Deity Organization and Lu Yu have recently maintained a good relationship, Lu Yu handed over the remaining three Demon Lord corpses to the Celestial Deity Organization, solely to obtain a Grade 9 Star Weapon.

Instead, he instructed the Celestial Deity Organization that he would purchase all Grade 9 star soldiers, as long as the price was reasonable.

There aren’t many Ninth-Level Star Soldiers; each has two devilish sabers.

Lu Yu was the first to collect twenty grade-nine star weapons.

Releasing the prop for Star Cluster twice is enough!

Then Lu Yu placed a large order with the Celestial Deity Organization, offering fifty Devil Monarch bodies in exchange for one hundred and fifty Grade Nine star weapons.

Although this is just an agreement.

However, the Celestial Deities Organization was indeed overjoyed.

With Lu Yu’s strength, as long as he is willing, he could obtain fifty Devil King bodies in just one day.

They were also not worried that Lu Yu would break his promise. Even if Lu Yu paid no deposit at all, the Celestial Organization still trusted him.

Given Lu Yu’s current status and his past actions, he is not someone who breaks his promises.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the Celestial Deity Organization has already begun searching for Level 9 Star Soldiers across the country.

After leaving the Celestial organization, Lu Yu headed directly to Huowu’s demonic city.

Thinking back to the thrilling adventure when I first arrived.

Perhaps without the experiences of that day, he would not have become who he is today.

The illusion of this magical city has now been lifted. Since Lu Yu and Huo Wu’s relationship became public, the demons in this city have become the most friendly towards humans.

It was precisely because of Lu Yu that no one had ever dared to cause trouble in this city.

As Lu Yu entered the city, a demon immediately recognized him.

All the demon clans immediately cleared the path leading to the city center, knelt down, and bowed respectfully to welcome Lu Yu’s arrival.

“Is that really Lu Yu?” People were extremely surprised, as they had never seen the demon race treat a human with such respect before.

“The demon lord of this city is said to be Lu Yu’s woman.”

“I’ve seen Huo Wu, and she’s quite a beauty!”

People whispered among themselves, too afraid to speak too loudly.

After all, this is the territory of the demon race, not the domain of humans.

In the castle, someone had already received the news and come out to meet them.

“It’s you?” Lu Yu saw the woman across from him and smiled.

“Mr. Lu, it’s been a long time.” The woman across from Lu Yu bowed slightly and smiled, saying, “Lady Huowu is waiting for you inside?”

This woman was the same one who had cooked for Lu Yu in the Magic City back then.

Over the past decade, the woman’s appearance remained unchanged, yet she had developed a sharp and deadly aura.

Lu Yu followed the woman into the castle. In the grand hall of white bones, Huo Wu was biting the end of a pen, staring blankly at a document in her hand.

Huowu saw Lu Yu come in, immediately dropped her pen and stood up, delightedly saying, “How come you have time to come here?”

At this moment, the woman who had been leading the way withdrew, and the doors of the grand hall were closed as well.

Huowu, like a cheerful little bird, threw herself into Lu Yu’s arms and looked up at him with a pout, saying in a resentful tone: “You’re such a busy person, why would you suddenly come here?”

“Besides coming to see you, I’m also here for someone beneath this land.”

“To defeat the demons?” Huo Wu seemed somewhat displeased, frowning.
