Chapter 378: Overwhelming Suppression

Lu Yu seemed to see a ferocious beast emerging from the glint of the axe, its sharp fangs gleaming menacingly!

The Demon Ancestor seemed to have gone mad, disregarding everything and unleashing a strike that was at least twice as powerful as before.

When executed with the body of the Devil Monarch, this strike could shatter his physical form.

Moreover, the axe’s glow was so swift that Lu Yu didn’t even have time to react before it struck his crown!

Bang!

The axe light seemed to strike against a towering mountain, causing the grand hall, which had remained unmoving until now, to tremble and sway slightly!

The axe light split open Lu Yu’s crown, and one after another, the axe lights transformed into colossal, millstone-like beams of light that utterly destroyed his body!

Boom!

The Demon Ancestor stepped out of the sea of fire, becoming a black man nearly two meters tall.

The dark spiral markings on the black man’s body flowed like blood, and the demonic energy transformed into numerous black dragons that danced and coiled around him.

That terrifying aura, that boundless and dreadful power seemed to be unleashed uncontrollably from within the black man’s body.

“Lu Yu, do you think you’ve already won?” the Demon Ancestor roared. “I haven’t killed you simply because I don’t want to expend my final strength. With the Supreme Body, I could crush you like an ant!”

As the voice of the Devil Ancestor faded, his towering figure had already transformed into a beam of black light and appeared before Lu Yu.

As Lu Yu’s body was just reborn, he saw the palm of the Devil Ancestor already descending toward his crown.

Boom!

Power was unstoppable; even with the dragon sinew granting Lu Yu an exceptionally resilient body, he was still struck so fiercely that cracks formed all over his body.

The Demon Ancestor grabbed a large chunk of bloody flesh in his palm, grinding it into ash with his demonic energy, and snarled with a sinister grin: “What do you think now? Do you still fancy yourself so wise?”

Lu Yu’s remaining flesh and blood regenerated in the distance, unscathed.

His expression turned grave, and his eyes radiated a chilling light as he said, “Have you already found the Supreme Body!”

The Devil Ancestor’s face darkened with coldness as he said in a deep voice, “That’s right. This was originally a last resort for my own survival, but I never expected to use it here. However, now that I have used it, you are already a dead man! With power surpassing a hundred experts, can you really withstand it?”

“No, the one who’s going to die is you!” Lu Yu’s eyes turned into a sea of blood, his aura of slaughter continuously rising as he said, “You kept your secrets—did you really think I wouldn’t have kept mine too?”

“Then let’s fight!” the Demon Ancestor roared fiercely, stepping forward and heavily swinging his battle axe.

At this moment, the Half-Star Artifact seemed to be activated more thoroughly. Gush after gush of a devastating force, as if capable of obliterating heaven and earth, surged toward Lu Yu.

“Fight!”

Lu Yu shouted loudly.

Meanwhile—

Buzz…

All the weapons of slaughter in the sky were recalled, and the twenty-five million weapons of slaughter entered Lu Yu’s body. Then, in an instant, they transformed into an overwhelming slaughter intent that pierced the heavens.

Boom!

The battle axe struck Lu Yu’s crown, and the force surged through his body, radiating outward to the corners of the grand hall!

The grand hall trembled slightly.

Lu Yu’s body swayed slightly, and a trace of pain flickered across his eyes. However, not even a single strand of hair on his crown was severed.

The war axe rebounded violently, as if it had struck steel bones, sending sparks flying.

“You can become stronger? Do you think I have no way to deal with you!”

Lu Yu’s hands came together, fingers like blades, stabbing downward toward the Demon Ancestor’s chest.

The Demon Ancestor spun around and delivered a sweeping kick to Lu Yu’s temple.

Bang!

The Devil Ancestor’s body was shaken and sent flying, while Lu Yu’s temple only bore a white mark!

“Kill!” Lu Yu’s voice was low and cold as the murderous intent surging from his body continued to rise. It was as if he had transformed into a wild beast that had lost all reason, charging like a demon ancestor toward his target with a ferocious killing intent.

His aura was like an ocean of bloodlust, his breath a storm raging across the sea, stirring towering waves within this palace.

The group of people standing far in front of the palace gates had been closely watching everything happening inside.

But this was the first time they had seen Lu Yu in such a posture.

Lu Yu was surrounded by toxic gas, resembling a venomous beast. The aura of slaughter was so terrifying that it could tear apart a person’s soul.

Both strikes were blocked, and the Devil Ancestor exclaimed in surprise: “No, this isn’t right! Your defensive power shouldn’t allow you to block my attacks!”

Lu Yu was furious and charged toward the Demon Ancestor, saying coldly, “It’s me who’s going to kill you! From the moment you first tried to take my life, our fates were sealed—we can’t both survive. Today, I settle this with you once and for all!”

The Demon Ancestor said coldly, “King Slayer, you’re too arrogant!”

Boom!

The war axe struck Lu Yu’s shoulder, representing the current limit of the Devil Ancestor’s power.

However, this axe did not even scratch Lu Yu’s skin.

Hmph!

Lu Yu raised his hand, his fingers slicing through the Demon Ancestor’s chest like blades, carving ten deep wounds, each half an inch in depth!

The Devil Ancestor lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest. Unlike when he used the Devil Monarch’s body, the wound on his current body could automatically contract and heal.

The recovery speed is visible to the naked eye. However, even with such rapid healing, it still takes more than ten seconds to recover from such a wound!

He stared in horror at the wound, then looked at Lu Yu’s shoulder that had been struck, finding it simply unbelievable.

Qin Hai frowned, staring intently at the center of the battlefield, his expression extremely grave.

The Devil Ancestor’s expression turned terrified, and in an instant, he became fierce and terrifying again, hurling a punch toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu seemed to have lost his sanity, allowing his fists to slam against his own chest before his ten fingers gripped the Devil Ancestor’s arm tightly. Then, with a violent force, he tore his fingers apart in opposite directions!

Rippp—

Amidst the grating noise, the Devil Ancestor let out a muffled groan of pain for the first time.

“This is absolutely impossible. You’re not Lu Yu!” the Demon Ancestor looked at his arm, where most of the flesh and blood had been lost, and blood was flowing.

This is black blood, black blood contaminated by toxic gas. The wound has even begun to corrode and spread outward.

The power of the Hundred Venerables cannot suppress Lu Yu—it’s absolutely impossible!

Lu Yu’s strength is merely thirty zuns; such a situation has never occurred since ancient times!

“Do you really think you can kill me with just a half-star weapon?” Lu Yu strode forward boldly, his eyes growing even bloodier, and the aura of slaughter around him becoming increasingly terrifying!

The Devil Ancestor stared into those bloodshot eyes, a realization flashing through his mind as he exclaimed in shock, “Murder… it’s a full awakening of murder! You’re insane, you madman. Supreme One, you may be a Supreme, but how dare you use a complete murder awakening!”

The Demon Ancestor took a big step back, experiencing fear for the first time!

Among the nine star souls of humanity, the Star Soul of Slaughter is the most terrifying and dreadful!

Before the Demon Ancestor became the King, he had already fought a great battle against the God of Slaughter.

As powerful as he was, he was also dragged into a disadvantageous position before the Star Soul of Slaughter.

After he became the king, he fought his second battle against the Soul of Slaughter. At that time, he was already the King, while the Soul of Slaughter was merely a King Venerable.

However, in that battle, he was forced into a desperate situation and barely managed to kill the Shaxing Star Soul at the cost of severe injuries that nearly took his life.

Once the Killer Star Spirit is fully awakened, it becomes almost invincible!

Qin Hai, after being reminded by the Demon Ancestor, finally saw the light.

Such powerful defense is impossible to achieve without complete awakening; there’s no other possibility!

The true activation of carnage has begun; willpower will determine the duration of its complete awakening!

During this period, all damage from attacks will be converted into shocks to the nerves and soul, while physical injuries will be reduced to a minimum!

Such a shock to the nerves and soul would be enough to drive an ordinary person insane.

Except for the madmen, each generation’s carnage rarely involves complete awakening.

Lu Yu dared to use it, and was continuously attacked, without even revealing a trace of pain.

The Devil Ancestor has seen someone like this before!

It was the very killer inheritor who had nearly beheaded him, a king, with the power of a king.

Now, he saw that expression again.

Lu Yu, icy and relentless, charged forward once again with heavy, determined steps!

The terror in the Devil Ancestor’s eyes grew stronger, marking his first experience of fear.

Lu Yu said coldly, “Ancestor of Demons, as a king, you look down upon the world with pride. What are you afraid of now?”

Lu Yu’s words shocked the group in front of the grand gate, finally confirming the presence of the Devil Ancestor’s body.

This was also a king, just like Qin Hai, wielding some sort of inherited power.

“The king of the demon race is called the Demon Ancestor,” stammered the representative of the Celestial Deity Organization. “Could it be… he is the ancestor of all demons?!”

A military representative’s voice, deep and somber, said, “This is the second king to awaken. How many more kings remain asleep in this world!”

The two of them were talking to themselves.

The collision within the palace occurred once again.

The Demon Ancestor struck with his battle axe, but it was partially destroyed once again by the Soul Devouring Art.

Lu Yu advanced relentlessly, like a grim reaper who felt no pain!

Hiss!

The Devil Ancestor’s chest lost another piece of flesh and blood.

“Lu Yu, don’t push me!” roared the Devil Ancestor. “Otherwise, I’ll destroy both of us together!”

Lu Yu said coldly, “If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be the inheritor of carnage. Show me whatever power you have.”

“Boom!”

Another collision sent the Devil Ancestor flying backward, directly blasted away by Lu Yu’s force.

The Killing Awakening’s defense is so formidable that not even a half-star artifact can penetrate it; its powerful physical form is truly invincible.

In the distance, Qin Hai couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, narrowing his eyes as he watched and measured the situation.

Under equal strength, his condition is slightly better than the Demon Ancestor’s!

But Qin Hai understood that he himself was no match for Lu Yu either!

“Spirit, what are you waiting for!” shouted the white bones that had remained distant and uninvolved in the battle: “If this continues, everything will be over.”

The Devil Ancestor stood up in the distance, watching Lu Yu approach once again. He suddenly stretched out his arms, uttering dozens of strange syllables from his mouth.

The white bones in the distance were also emitting strange syllables.

“Ghost!” roared the Demon Ancestor!

“Bone!” The voice of the white bones was hideous and grim!

At the same time, both the black figure and the white skeleton shouted loudly: “Unite!”

Boom! Boom!

The white bones lunged toward the Demon Ancestor, passing through the toxic mist like ghosts and merging into the Demon Ancestor’s body.

Bang!

Behind the Devil Ancestor, a skeleton was squeezed out of his body.

The Demon Ancestor opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes covered in crimson sigils.

His aura surged violently, and the demonic energy around him transformed into dozens of pitch-black dragons, each tens of zhang long, biting fiercely at the void.

The air around the Devil Ancestor seemed to be set ablaze by black flames, transforming into endless waves of dark energy that continuously expanded.

“Now, begin!” the Demon Ancestor roared, raising his battle axe with incomparable arrogance.

Vroom!

He moved, like a shifting great mountain, each step causing the palace to tremble violently.

Boom!

Two shadows collided in midair.

Lu Yu flew backward, and cracks appeared on his body’s surface.

“Blood of Flame, empower the battle!” the Demon Ancestor roared, his body thundering as his blood surged like a raging river.

The Devil Ancestor’s eyes, covered in blood sigils, radiated an astonishing amount of killing intent. The black dragons on his body seemed to come alive, lunging towards Lu Yu through the air!

Each dragon resembled a demon ancestor, with boundless aura and black flames!
