Chapter 316: Unexpected Visitor

Fan Shan is extremely powerful; his mere aura already dominates the entire city of Shanghai, second only to Xie Ming.

At the very least, in Lu Yu’s eyes, this Fan Shan possessed the strength to engage in battle with an ordinary Supreme Being.

After the first step was taken, Fan Shan’s expression had already begun to turn serious!

Lu Yu could not feel the pressure on the stage, but he could see that Fanshan was under tremendous pressure, his entire body tensed up.

As soon as Fan Shan took the first step, his speed began to accelerate. After continuously taking five steps, it was as if he were carrying a heavy mountain on his back, making movement extremely difficult.

Around Shan, stars began to appear—small, fist-sized stars that revolved and moved centered on him.

“Step six!”

Some people had already started counting out loud.

So far, this is the first time a Semi-Zhizun has intervened, which has made people exceptionally excited.

“Boom!” Fan Shan stepped forward once more.

His footsteps were so heavy that the擂台 shook with each step.

Someone shouted loudly, “The seventh step!”

Fan Shan walked slower and slower, his muscles tightening, blue veins bulging and pulsing visibly on his skin!

“Hiss!”

Fan Shan took a deep breath, drawing all the stars around him into his body.

Fan Shan advanced once again.

This time, after taking three consecutive steps, he came to a stop again!

The pressure from Fan Shan was increasing, causing his knees to bend slightly, and he nearly fell to his knees.

His leg muscles kept trembling, and it took several seconds before he finally stood up.

“Thirty seconds! Thirty seconds already!” someone shouted, clearly thrilled.

“With seven seconds left, he’s about to break the record for the fastest time on the arena!” Many people cheered on the arena.

That record was set by the demon race, so of course it’s meant to be broken by humans.

Around them, there were also many demons who were greatly astonished. This was the first time they had seen a human Half-Zhizun, and they hadn’t expected it to be so powerful.

After a pause, Fan Shan took another step forward, but this time he could no longer move quickly.

After taking three steps forward, the body suddenly flew backward.

Someone sighed, “Thirty-seven seconds! The record wasn’t broken!”

“What kind of arena is this, where even a Half-Zhizun isn’t enough? Could it be that only a Zhizun is qualified to step forward?”

People around the arena were talking, yet some still kept stepping onto the stage.

Some lasted only a second, while others were bounced back as soon as they tried.

Lu Yu shifted his gaze away from the arena and saw a platform erected amidst the ruins, where a figure with demonic wings on its back sat upon a high chair.

There was no doubt that the man was Xie Ming.

“Is this also a demon?”

Lu Yu murmured to himself. Xie Ming, who had been sitting there listlessly, suddenly noticed Lu Yu’s gaze and looked over as well.

Xie Ming was greatly shocked, able to sense on Lu Yu the bloody aura originating from the Supreme Being and the powerful resentment left behind by the Supreme Being.

The human who has beheaded a Supreme Being. Moreover, that resentment is definitely not ordinary—it should be the kind possessed only by a Supreme at least at the Fourth Sovereign level!

After entering Huaxia, he had met Mingzun, Zhansha, and Bai Zhan; this was the fourth Zunzhi he had encountered.

This country is simply amazing!

Evil Ming was even more shocked in his heart, but he quickly calmed down and nodded toward Lu Yu.

He saw Lu Yu among the crowd and noticed that, unlike the other Zunzhi, he did not step forward. Realizing that Lu Yu did not wish to draw attention, he stopped as well.

Xie Ming murmured to himself, “Could it be that this Supreme One has also brought his own disciple for the trial?”

His voice was very low, causing the two people beside him to look puzzled and ask, “Your Highness, what did you say?”

“It’s nothing. Keep watching,” Xie Ming said coldly. “A whole year, and still not good enough. It seems I’ll have to stay in this country for another ten years or so!”

After descending from the mountain, Lu Yu found that dozens of people had already taken the stage, but all of them were eliminated very quickly.

This situation has been going on for a year now, yet many people continue to rush in, because they understand that the greater the difficulty of this trial, the more terrifying the power gained by the heir will be.

They couldn’t possibly have such an opportunity just for the sake of gaining immense power.

From level one to level nine, from King to Half-Sovereign.

Except for Zhi Zun, who did not step onto the arena, fighters of all other ranks have already tried their hands.

Many people are well aware that if they don’t manage to fuse with it, passing through this first trial will be extremely difficult.

Just as another person was shaken off the stage, the crowd erupted into enthusiastic cheers, with even some whistling.

“It’s Fire Dance, Fire Dance is coming on stage!”

“The woman of Lu Yu, this is not an ordinary魔主 either.”

“Lord of Devils, have you all lost your minds?” a demon shouted. “Now that Lady Huowu has broken through to the Star Lord stage, reaching 350 trillion attributes and nearing the Semi-Sovereign realm. Do you still think Lady Huowu is just the Lord of Devils? Are you all insane?”

“Uh—”

Many people stared in disbelief, never expecting it.

Although scolded like that, no one dared to utter a word of不服.

Lu Yu’s woman has her own strength; would they dare to say “no” to her?

Lu Yu saw Huo Wu and a smile appeared on his lips.

In the past year or so, Huowu has also made quite rapid progress.

Huowu still has an unparalleled graceful demeanor and a light, nimble figure, which draws admiration from many young people.

To many people’s surprise, Huo Wu actually made it to the twentieth step before being ejected at the thirty-sixth second.

When it comes to step counts, Huowu walks the most.

In terms of time, he was just one second behind the Half-Zhizun, yet their attributes differed by one hundred and fifty trillion!

Beside Lu Yu, someone said, “Mr. Lu, aren’t you planning to go up and give it a try?”

This person is from the military, belonging to the type with a robust build; his tone and attitude are acceptable.

Lu Yu beheaded the hydra. Even if the military still held grievances against him, they dared not provoke this devil any longer.

“Take another look.”

Lu Yu had been closely watching the figure on the stage, which resembled the devil’s appearance in Western mythology.

The Yellow Spring, Hell, and now demons have emerged, even those demon-like devil clans. What kind of world was this before?

Lu Yu was somewhat moved.

Not for the sake of that inheritance, but merely wanting to test what kind of pressure exists within the domain of the arena, where even a Half-Zhizun could barely endure for at most thirty-seven seconds.

Within an hour, at least a thousand people had tried to go up, but not a single one succeeded.

It was already noon, and the aroma of food began to drift from all around.

Someone began to call out, trying to attract customers.

There were fewer people around the arena as well.

Lu Yu suddenly looked up at the sky. Between the clouds, he sensed a presence descending.

Boom!

Suddenly, the clear sky echoed with thunder.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel shot down from the sky, striking toward the arena.

“Daughter!”

Xie Ming, sitting in the stands, roared furiously.

The void behind him suddenly expanded infinitely, and a giant shadow of evil, hundreds of feet tall, lunged forward toward the thunder serpent.

Snap!

The Razer was shattered by the phantom shadow.

Immediately afterwards, countless thunder serpents descended from the clear sky, each of them emitting powerful and boundless might!

It cleaved through the illusory shadows of Xie Ming.

More thunderbolts descended towards the earth.

The demonic wings behind Xie Ming trembled, sending two powerful gusts of wind toward the Thunder Serpent, shattering it into pieces.

However, some of the smaller lightning bolts still struck the crowd gathered around the arena.

This seemingly thin bolt of lightning possessed power comparable to a full-force strike from a Demon Lord, splitting over a thousand people into bloody, mangled flesh!

“Who? Who is it?” Fan Shan shouted fiercely into the crowd, his eyes like stars shooting out two brilliant beams that tore through the sky.

Since Lu Yu suppressed Japan, no one has dared to act so brazenly in Huaxia for the past year.

Fan Shan’s gaze pierced the horizon, beyond which two figures stood.

These two figures resembled Xie Ming, both having demonic wings sprouting from their backs.

The man held a trident in his hand, had a bald head, stood nearly ten feet tall, and wore a wild beast-hide garment stitched together from animal pelts. His entire body exuded a savage aura, with muscles as hard as steel, glistening with a metallic sheen.

The woman was about one meter sixty-five in height, small and charming, with golden hair and blue eyes, her face strikingly beautiful. She wore only animal hides that covered her chest and the mysterious area below her abdomen, exposing her fair, white skin and a pair of long, straight legs.

When Xie Ming saw the two of them, he was first taken aback, then his face darkened with anger as he said, “Troll, Succubus, is this how you two greet others? Do you realize the responsibility you’re bearing for ruining the adult’s trial?”

The woman, appearing lifeless, laughed wantonly, “Xie Ming, don’t say that. I just wanted to see whether your strength has declined after your power awakened.”

The woman’s chest was trembling incessantly, her ample curves seemingly ready to spill out of the animal-hide top at any moment, causing many eyes below to gleam with lust and prompting audible gulps of desire.

“What can we gain in a country like this?” The troll glanced at the humans on the ground, still crying out in pain from the lightning strike, and scoffed, “Let’s go. We should seek out a powerful nation; there we will find greater opportunities.”

Xie Ming sneered coldly, “Don’t underestimate this country; it has a large population. Perhaps the heir can be found right here!”

The troll sneered, “Xie Ming, just leave. These yellow-skinned fellows have always been weak and foolish, often conquered and bullied in the past. Do you really think it’s not an insult to our great King to leave a legacy with such feeble, pitiful people?”

“‘Weaklings, you say?’ Fan Shan, hearing the troll’s words from below, replied coldly, ‘What level of weakness do you refer to?'”

Fan Shan let out a thunderous roar towards the sky, and around him, hundreds of thousands of tiny stars emerged, spinning rapidly.

“What’s so special about being the Supreme?” Bai Yang also stepped forward from the crowd, his voice cold as he said, “We’ve become Half-Supremes in just a dozen or so years. Do you think that’s slow?”

“Oh, a human at the Half-Emperor cultivation stage, not bad,” said the troll, narrowing his eyes as his gaze swept over the two figures. “It’s a pity though; at the Half-Emperor level, you’re nothing before a true Emperor. As for—hmm?”

The troll’s gaze fell upon the crowd, his eyes gleaming with lust as he licked his crimson tongue and said, “Although you are all weak, the women are beautiful.”

The troll flapped its demonic wings, descended toward the ground, and then walked toward a woman.

Someone was immediately stunned and said, “Wow, is this Sovereign out of his mind? He actually dared to lay a hand on this woman!”

Roses naturally have thorns.

This rose is not only thorny, but its thorns are so poisonous that no one dares to touch it!

The troll walked toward Mai, his eyes fixed on her body, scanning her figure up and down, as if trying to see through her clothes and strip her bare with his gaze.
