Chapter 436: The Hunt Begins

Money is meant to be spent.

Lu Yu possesses a treasure trove, with as many as one hundred thousand supreme star weapons in the first area alone.

These star soldiers were already trash in Lu Yu’s eyes.

He didn’t care who had left behind the treasure pearl; now that it had fallen into his hands, he intended to make use of it.

Within an hour of the news spreading, people had already started to find Lu Yu one after another.

More people’s first reaction was shock.

Lu Yu is being way too extravagant. He actually used a Supreme Star Weapon to exchange for just a few drops of blood.

Even if they know this blood is of great importance, it’s all in vain without knowing the method!

Therefore, those who obtained the blood carefully categorized each drop according to which life form it originated from.

Three drops for an ultimate star weapon, Lu Yu was not stingy at all.

Within a single day, Lu Yu had collected over two hundred drops of blood, which he used to prepare three vials of it.

More people came as time passed.

At the same time, several demons also realized that Qin Hai had entered as well and chose to leave.

Lu Yu sent out star weapons one after another without even furrowing his brows.

One hundred Supreme Star Weapons were delivered within twelve hours.

“Goodness gracious, is Lu Yu giving birth to a Supreme Star Soldier?”

“God, I’m going to go crazy. Just give me all these star soldiers, and I’ll be satisfied.”

All the people who came to trade left with smiles on their faces.

Ten bottles, fifteen bottles…

Lu Yu spent three days preparing two hundred bottles of blood.

Life in the land of red fire is ultimately limited.

Moreover, the humanoid lives had entered first and already begun hunting the native life forms. Therefore, when Lu Yu stopped trading further, flame beings nearly became extinct in this place.

And over so many days, more people have appeared upon this land, and humanoid lives have also emerged.

There are at least twenty thousand humanoid beings and more than thirty thousand humans gathered on this land.

The conflict has been continuously escalating, leading to large-scale battles involving more than a thousand people.

Hellish demons hunted down three hundred humanoid lives.

A squad of a thousand snake people surrounded and attacked a human force of five hundred.

The U.S. military’s elite assassinated two leaders of the second echelon.

Messages were constantly being passed between the humanoid lives, humans, and the demon race.

The weakest individuals here are all at the level of Half Sovereign. All humanoid lives are Sovereigns.

You can imagine how terrifying a battle of this level would be.

The atmosphere between the parties was filled with gunpowder, and the smell of blood nearly overwhelmed the heat rising from the earth.

Qin Hai also acted multiple times, appearing almost invincible. Even the humanoid lives dared not to be arrogant anymore and retreated.

In front of a volcano, many people, upon hearing the news, excitedly turned their eyes toward Lu Yu.

Qin Hai has already taken action. What about Lu Yu?

Due to the restrictions imposed by the deities, Lu Yu could only confront the serpent demon.

What would this ultimate showdown look like?

Someone exclaimed excitedly, “Mr. Lu, are you really going to fight against the Snake Demon?”

“There will be sooner or later,” Lu Yu said, staring in one direction. “There are many people here now; you can leave in groups. If a battle with the Snake Demon begins, I won’t have extra energy to protect you. Shortly, I will send you out. Once you leave this land, your life and death will no longer concern me.”

Someone exclaimed excitedly, “It’s not worth leaving now. From this point on, I don’t need your protection anymore. I want to witness with my own eyes the battle between you and the snake demon.”

This person’s words expressed the feelings of everyone present, and even the young girl nodded in agreement repeatedly.

They witnessed with their own eyes Lu Yu’s conversation with the deity and also saw the transformation as Lu Yu turned into a fiery giant.

Now, facing a battle with the Snake Demon, what kind of scene would that be?

Everyone is eagerly anticipating!

Lu Yu frowned and said, “This is your matter. If a real fight breaks out, you’ll just have to pray for the best.”

The Snake Demon possesses a strength of a thousand Zun. His current power is only around a hundred Zun. Even considering the King Zun bone and several Star Treasures, it still doesn’t exceed two hundred Zun.

It’s still a fivefold gap, and the difference remains too significant.

At that moment, the heavens above the crowd, which had been flowing like molten lava, suddenly began to tremble violently, as if attempting to connect the sky and earth.

“What’s going on?” People of the Red Fire Land, whether human or humanoid beings, all looked up at the sky, feeling as though the heavens themselves were about to collapse upon them.

Boom… Boom…

The vast sky trembled with a thunderous roar as a tiny vortex began to spin. At its center lay a speck of utter darkness, pitch-black and lightless. The vortex continued to expand, until the entire lava-filled heavens above the land had become a swirling maelstrom.

Boom—

From the center of the dark, lifeless vortex, a human figure emerged.

“Divine! This is a divine descent!”

When the humanoid lifeforms saw the illusory figure, they couldn’t help but cheer and kneel in worship.

Even the arrogant Snake Demon knelt to the ground in reverence, worshipping the figure before him.

Even in the heat of battle, humanoid beings would immediately kneel down without hesitation, even if it meant being struck by weapons.

He showed boundless reverence for the human figures.

“Is this a god?”

Humanity had never witnessed such a bizarre sight, and everyone was staring intently at that figure.

The cries of humanoid lifeforms startled countless people.

A trembling voice said, “Indeed, all the changes in this world are caused by gods; gods truly exist in this world!”

“Is this really a god?”

Some people still felt something was amiss.

At this moment, the ethereal figure towering in the vast sky slowly spoke.

His voice was extremely cold, carrying a chilling and terrifying tone: “From this moment on — the massacre competition begins!”

The sound roared, like thunder exploding across the sky above the earth.

All humans, demons, and humanoid beings couldn’t help but feel a chill.

The snake demon suddenly stood up, clenching his fists and staring at the sky with boundless excitement and bloodlust.

Lu Yu’s eyes blazed with a fiery, intensely destructive light.

A certain legend seemed to surface in Qin Hai’s mind. He threw his head back and laughed wildly, feeling an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

The sound had not yet ceased when, amidst the rumbling thunder, an even more terrifying message echoed across the land.

“For every human or demon race member hunted by the humanoid clan, one Blue Star Soul will be awarded. For every ten humans or demon race members hunted, one drop of Evolution Liquid will be rewarded. For every hundred hunted, ten Blue Star Souls and ten drops of Evolution Liquid will be awarded. The one who hunts the most enemy lives will receive the ultimate reward.”

“The hunt—begins.”

The countless kneeling humanoid lives suddenly erupted into violent action upon hearing the start of these two individuals.

“Kill!”

One by one, the eyes of the humanoid lifeforms became bloodshot and red with excitement.

“Divine will—kill!”

The second-level leader raised his arm and shouted triumphantly.

With the divine decree and rewards, the humanoid lives went crazy.

Just as the illusory figure was about to speak again, it left the humans in a trance.

“For every humanoid life or human killed, the Demon Race will receive one million Star Spirit Stones and one Star Blossom. For every ten humanoids or humans killed, they will receive ten million Star Spirit Stones, ten Star Blossoms, and one vial of Evolution Liquid. For every hundred humanoids or humans killed, they will receive one hundred and fifty million Star Spirit Stones, one hundred Star Blossoms, and ten vials of Evolution Liquid. The one who kills the most enemy lives will receive the ultimate reward.”

“The hunt—begins.”

Qin Hai coldly ordered, “Kill!”

Boom—

The thousand demons that came with Qin Hai sprang into action.

Human-like lives revere deities; even if such words come from a mere shadow, no one would doubt them for a moment.

“This is a test!”

The serpent demon raged and roared, “The weak are prey to the strong; only the powerful are qualified to become the ruler of the earth!”

He was shouting loudly, and countless snake people echoed their agreement with the snake demon’s words.

There’s no need to question the words of the divine; they simply need to be carried out!

“For every humanoid life or demon race member killed, the human race will receive one million Star Spirit Stones and one Star Bloom. For every ten humanoid lives or demon race members killed, they will receive ten million Star Spirit Stones, ten Star Blooms, and one drop of Evolution Liquid. For every hundred killed, they will obtain one hundred and fifty million Star Spirit Stones, one hundred Star Blooms, and ten drops of Evolution Liquid. The individual who kills the most enemy lives will receive the ultimate reward.”

“The hunt—begins.”

At this moment, the Red Fire Land completely erupted, shaking the three tribes.

This is not a game; it’s a ruthless war of slaughter.

However, that’s not the end of the story!

The illusory figure was walking towards the vortex.

At the same time, his voice rang out again, saying: “Regardless of race or rank, those who slay the Serpent Clan’s serpent demon will gain the right to freely choose a reward twice. Those who slay the Human Clan’s Lu Yu will gain the right to freely choose a reward twice. Those who slay the Demon Clan’s Hell King will gain the right to freely choose a reward twice. The hunt ends when the seventh sun rises!”

All the ethnic groups were moved.

The Snake Demon, the strongest among the humanoid races on this land.

Many people already know that She Mo will be a contender for the throne of our tribe, and his eerie abilities are enough to send chills down one’s spine.

In recent days, Qin Hai has left an indelible mark in the lives of the humanoid beings; he is a formidable enemy.

As for how powerful Lu Yu is, the humanoid clans understand, and humans and demons understand even better.

In this battle, the three of them became targets. Who will die?

The snake demon lunged toward the more than twenty people who were pinned to the ground, awaiting their fate.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere. One by one, heads were pierced by the snake demon, who devoured the brains of these people greedily.

His muscles were twitching, and his strength was surging rapidly.

Qin Hai stood before the demon’s ranks, facing a surge of nearly a thousand humanoid creatures rushing toward him.

“Your Majesty, a message has come from the humans—they are requesting to join forces!”

Qin Hai said coldly, “Join forces first and kill these humanoid lives here!”

Human lives are few in number.

They are too powerful; they are all Zun.

The leader of the second tier has always remained hidden, and no one knows exactly how many Sovereigns with power exceeding three hundred exist.

Humans are numerous, but their strength and level are too weak.

If we don’t join forces, the situation will be a one-sided and terrifying one.

“Mr. Lu, this—”

The people around Lu Yu never expected him to become the target, nor did they anticipate that the place would turn into such a terrifying battlefield.

More than twenty people looked at Lu Yu, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

After just saying that he didn’t need Lu Yu’s protection, something like this actually happened.

“Good luck to you all!” Lu Yu said coldly. “In this situation, I don’t have time to protect you. If you can hide successfully, consider yourselves lucky. If you end up dead, don’t blame others.”

The murderous intent in Lu Yu’s tone grew increasingly intense.

Everyone has figured it out; Lu Yu is about to take action as well.

Since the deities did not specifically state that Lu Yu was not allowed to take action, it meant that Lu Yu could indeed act as well.

Who is truly the strongest among the three? The answer may lie within Lu Yu, Qin Hai, and the Snake Demon.

But in the end, who is the person, and who will truly be the one, will all be the most sensational news.
