The Yuanmo were originally a race of beasts, but they were born fierce and possessed slightly higher intelligence than other beasts.
During the era when humans ruled the earth, the ape demons remained hidden in the mountains and forests, unknown to mankind.
When one of the apes began to develop intelligence, after several generations of evolution, it had already attained wisdom not inferior to that of humans.
It was hidden among the mountains and forests, feeding on humans who entered the mountains to cultivate, gradually growing stronger. Eventually, it challenged a human king and ascended to the throne.
The Ape Devils evolved into the Primordial Devils, and a large number of Ape Devils became slaves of the Primordial Devil King.
The Ape Demon emerged from the mountains and forests, gradually advancing toward the cities. Eventually, it occupied countless urban centers and established the dynasty of the Primordial Demon.
That era was one of the rare dark periods in human history.
The Nine Mutated Star Souls joined forces with the King Zun to block the impact of the Primordial Demon, becoming a power capable of rivaling the Primordial Demon King.
In between, there was even a Mutated Star Soul inheritor who, after becoming a king, engaged in a fierce battle with the Primordial Demons, attempting to completely eradicate the Demon Race. In the end, however, this inheritor was killed by the Primordial Demon King and failed to shake the status of the Demon Race.
However, with the descent of darkness, the original demon race has been destroyed, and the original demon king has also been consumed by darkness.
Therefore, Enma was not supposed to appear in the first place.
Lu Yu did not see the Ape Demon; all his attention was focused on devouring the Dragon King’s corpse.
With the foundation established from the first act of devouring and merging.
Lu Yu spent five days completely devouring the blood and flesh of the Dragon King’s corpse, which was a million zhang in size.
He could sense an extraordinarily powerful force lying dormant within the demonic aura.
“Is it necessary to devour it?” Lu Yu murmured to himself.
Since then, his power of dragon transformation has vanished, and his demonic energy will become a dragon nest, within which countless dragon demons will continue to evolve.
After landing, Lu Yu looked around.
Those trembling lives dared to rise only at this moment.
However, none of them dared to approach Lu Yu anymore.
“Two thousand bodies of Demonic Lords’ lives, and one thousand bodies of Supreme Beings’ lives. This plain is not bad!”
Lu Yu’s eyes flashed with cold light like lightning, and he rushed towards the nearest monster to attack.
Let out a mournful roar, the monster was entangled by the dark energy released by Lu Yu before it could even scream in agony.
Within the demonic aura, it seemed as if countless fierce malevolent spirits were devouring the monster’s blood and bones completely.
Lu Yu walks in all directions across the plains, devouring the life force of monsters to evolve into the Dragon of Annihilation, and using the energy from hunting and consumption to evolve the Blade of Slaughter.
Across the entire plain, more than three thousand supreme-level monsters and over ten thousand魔主 lives were completely eradicated by Lu Yu, leaving not a single one alive.
A dragon-shaped demon has evolved into a body several zhang long, with a silvery glow visible within the demonic aura.
“The first Dark Dragon is evolving into a Silver Dragon. But this is still not enough. To enter the realm of the Dragon Monarchs, one must have the strength to rival five hundred mighty Sovereigns to even have a chance! It’s not only about facing Sovereigns, but also about possessing the power needed for the wars between Guardians. There’s still more than seven years left; the stronger, the better!”
Lu Yu clenched his teeth, tightly gripping his fists, and stepped once more into the ruins of the royal city.
Just as he was leaving the plains, more than a hundred Yuanmo beasts appeared at his location.
They were on all fours, with beast-like eyes that sparkled with a human-like intelligence.
A bear-headed apemon said coldly, “It seems the people have already left.”
“They’ve already entered this plain; they really have too much courage.”
“Now that they have arrived, we should also prepare. Perhaps it won’t be long before large numbers of humans start crossing this plain.”
Several apemonsters led the group, murmuring among themselves before quietly vanishing into the tall grass of the plain, leaving behind only powerful, lingering auras.
…
The Blade of Slaughter has indeed evolved to its limit. After reaching the ninth level of a Stellar Weapon, it has shown no change despite devouring countless lives.
Lu Yu guessed that Sha Lu’s blade had already reached its limit.
If it were to evolve further, it would be refined into a Supreme Star Soldier.
However, he possessed thirty million blades of slaughter. If he were to temper them all using the Star-Attracting Art, it might take more than ten years to complete.
In the ruins of the royal city, Lu Yu once again distributed the ten fragments of killing intent he had gathered to his subordinate warriors.
With the prosperity of Fanggang City, the area near the Blood Tower also became increasingly populated.
As Lu Yu’s strength increased, more and more murderous intent was submitted to the Blood Tower.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Yu accumulated the will to kill at an even faster rate.
Here, he met the two tomb-robbing master and apprentice as well as the Illusionary Demon.
The middle-aged man became excited as soon as he arrived and said, “Mr. Lu, how about we divide it up once first?”
The young man kept rubbing his hands together nervously beside the middle-aged man.
Over these past ten-odd days, they’ve scoured every inch underground in that area. It’s hard to say exactly how many treasures they’ve found, but the quantity alone has already reached over a hundred items.
Even underground, they had encountered the indomitable fighting spirit of some deceased powerful beings, all of which were shattered by the Illusion Demon’s energy.
You could say they had a smooth journey all the way, easily acquiring a great deal of wonderful items. Getting so many great things felt incredibly satisfying.
What the Demon saw, Lu Yu had already seen long before.
Inside were several items that were actually materials for refining a Star-Refining Artifact, along with a Supreme Star Weapon and fragments of a Half-Star Artifact.
The claws are very fast.
Lu Yu took three-quarters for himself, while the two apprentices received one-quarter.
Lu Yu found two King Venerable Bones among them, along with several fragments of half-star artifacts, plus materials for refining star-containment artifacts; the rest was left to the master and apprentice.
Although the items taken by Lu Yu were the most valuable, accounting for three-quarters of the total value.
Even obtaining a quarter of it would already be worth billions for the two master and apprentice.
The middle-aged and young men counted their earnings and said contentedly, “Mr. Lu, we hope this kind of cooperation can happen again and again in the future!”
With a powerful backer and bodyguards, you’d be snatching up things until your hands go numb.
“As long as you follow the rules, cooperation is certainly worth considering!”
Lu Yu nodded, integrating Wang Zun’s bone into his body, his power approaching that of a hundred Zuns.
This is still not enough, not enough!
Facing the might of five hundred Zhi Zuns, he wondered whether his strength would be enough to hold out.
“If Mr. Lu doesn’t mind, we’ll take our leave now.”
The middle-aged man signaled to the demon.
The master and apprentice, along with the demon, vanished once again from the surface of the ground.
Lu Yu met with Luo Haotian and others.
Within the area marked by Lu Yu, the group also discovered many valuable items, some of which were even priceless.
“Even the Phantom Spirit Star Pearl!” Lu Yu was surprised as he looked at the pearl that Fang Hua handed over.
Fang Hua nodded and said earnestly, “This ruins are indeed mysterious, and I’ve heard that only those with proper qualifications can enter. However, I’ve never heard of this King’s City Ruins before. I never expected that there would be something so valuable here.”
“What you pick up is yours,” Lu Yu said solemnly, looking at everyone. “I brought you here, not to work like laborers. Keep whatever you collect that is useful to you, and bring back the rest to Liu Xing for categorization. As for me, I only want the Half-Star Artifact fragments and the King’s Sacred Bone!”
“Okay!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately burst into cheers. The items they had picked up were indeed useful; many could be used to enhance their strength, while others were even more powerful auxiliary tools.
If all these props were to remain with them, it would significantly enhance their strength!
While excited, their hearts also felt heavy.
Lu Yu spared no effort in strengthening them, as if never being satisfied.
What exactly is this? Could it be that Lu Yu has enemies so powerful that even he himself cannot stand against them?
“The more you gain, the more you owe,” Shi Hu said solemnly. “We originally came together all for the sake of being loyal to Master Lu. Now that he has given us so much, all that remains for us to do is repay him with our lives.”
An uncrowned king agreed, saying, “That’s right! Aside from wanting to fight him, I’ve also dedicated my life to him. When you gain much, you must give back even more.”
“Less talk, I don’t want any trouble. But if there really is trouble, then we’ll just have to fight tooth and nail,” Luo Haotian said with a smile, pulling out a piece of bone from his robe. “This is the bone of Wang Zun—I only managed to obtain this one item.”
A warrior chuckled and took out a piece of bone, saying, “I also found something. I tried to fuse with it first, but it doesn’t seem to have any special features.”
“I have it here too!”
Then another person took out a piece of bone.
“I have it too.”
One after another, seven people took out the bones of King Zun.
The area Lu Yu had designated was as large as Shanghai, and even with over four hundred people digging there regularly, they rarely saw each other.
Nobody knows what’s here.
Now gathered together, they were nevertheless startled.
The bones of a Wang Zun are a type of stellar treasure, and only one such item is formed upon the death of a Wang Zun.
Now, surprisingly, seven people have produced the bones of King Zun.
This means that seven King Zuns died in these ruins, and with the two more brought out by the master and apprentice just now, a total of nine King Zuns perished here.
It seemed that Lu Yu had also obtained several pieces of the King’s Sacred Bones upon his initial entry into the ruins of the royal city.
Then, more than ten kings have died in this ruined place. What exactly happened here?
There can be only one King in an era!
Ten King Honored Ones have appeared here, indicating that this place has experienced at least ten eras and witnessed ten wars in which the King Honored Ones participated.
What secrets does this ruin hide?
Everyone couldn’t help but be moved.
After Lu Yu obtained these bones of the King’s Ancestor, he discovered that each section of bone was completely different.
Although these bones all belong to different parts of the human skeleton, they are absolutely not identical.
This further confirmed the assumption that Lu Yu had once made.
Perhaps every King’s death results in the formation of a King’s Bone, and each segment of the bone is unique.
Eventually, all the bones of the kings gathered together, perhaps forming a complete skeleton!
But what could be so special about these bones?
Luo Haotian suddenly said, “I seem to recall hearing a supreme elder mention a secret story once. He had read an inscription on a stone tablet which stated that Wang Zun appeared to be certified by heaven and earth itself. In each era, there could be two Wang Zuns, but never more than two. The Bone of Wang Zun represents a kind of ultimate limit of human bones, and also the ultimate limit of a certain kind of power. That supreme elder speculated that the Bone of Wang Zun might have a special function. However, this function could only be achieved by collecting a complete set of bones, with the corresponding quantity of human bones. Mr. Lu, you wouldn’t actually be thinking of collecting a complete set of these bones, would you?”
Luo Haotian spoke, looking at Lu Yu with a strange expression, showing nothing but astonishment.
Hundreds of bones, each one a priceless treasure.
If you collect them all—
Thinking of this, everyone’s forehead was covered with sweat.
Just how much money does Lu Yu have, to even consider collecting all the bones of King Zun!
