“Fourth place: Huo Wu, with 231 humanoid lives slain. Fifth place: Luo Haotian, with 136 humanoid lives slain. Sixth place: Fenghuang Wu, with 102 humanoid lives slain. Seventh place: Fang Hua, with 76 humanoid lives slain. Eighth place: Yang Lie, with 54 humanoid lives slain. Ninth place: Zi Yu, with 53 humanoid lives slain. Tenth place: Bai Yang, with 50 humanoid lives slain.”
The voice of the illusory figure echoed through the air. At the same time, a glowing halo appeared beneath the feet of many beings engaged in battle across the land, enveloping them and trapping them in place.
The two sides, who had been engaged in combat, were also forced to stop.
All eyes were fixed on the illusory figure hovering above the ground.
After the illusory figure announced the top ten rankings, both humans and demons couldn’t help but inhale sharply in astonishment.
Someone exclaimed in awe: “My God, out of the top ten killers, seven of them are from Lu Yu’s organization.”
“What kind of people are in his organization anyway? They’re so terrifying.”
“Goodness, Lu Yu’s men are a bunch of killing gods.”
No one could remain calm upon hearing this ranking.
After announcing the top ten rankings, the illusory figure spoke again: “In first place is the humanoid race, rewarded with one hundred Blue Star Souls and ten drops of Evolution Liquid. In second place is the Demon race, rewarded with one billion Star Spirit Stones, one thousand Star Blossoms, and one drop of Evolution Liquid. In third place is the human race, rewarded with one billion Star Spirit Stones. Those ranked from fourth to tenth places each receive one hundred million Star Spirit Stones. Additionally, anyone receiving rewards will automatically obtain a level-one storage space.”
“What? A storage space as a reward?” The humanoid lifeforms were collectively stunned, filled with envy.
In their world, storage space is a reward that can only be obtained upon completing the mission of the seventh tier.
The snake demon actually gave a reward at this moment.
Qin Hai couldn’t help but be moved as he said, “A storage space—I’ve heard that these are treasures that only appeared during a certain period.”
It was not merely for the treasure, but also for the resonance of that era.
“Has it really come to this time already?” Qin Hai murmured to himself, looking at the newly added items.
Rewards and storage space had been distributed shortly thereafter.
Lu Yu and others had never even heard of storage space before.
However, even just reading the introduction was enough to move me deeply.
The primary storage space is limited to a cubic area of ten thousand meters in each dimension—length, width, and height—which is still a considerable volume for storing various items.
The items inside are automatically organized, and it’s more convenient for storage compared to the storage pearls.
Lu Yu already had a storage space when the voice of the illusion suddenly rang in his ear: “You already have a level-nine infinite storage space. The storage space reward will be automatically replaced. Choose what you want.”
A row of options appeared before Lu Yu.
A Star Spirit Mine stretching ten thousand meters.
A sacred mountain that produces evolutionary elixir, along with five hundred drops of the elixir.
A sword blank of the Half Star Furnace.
One piece of damaged King Zun battle armor, with 90% damage.
Four types of rewards were displayed in a row in front of Lu Yu, causing him to squint slightly.
The damaged battle armor, along with anything associated with King Zun, was undoubtedly extraordinary.
The remaining three items are absolutely not ordinary things.
Lu Yu chose the sacred mountain.
“Selection completed. The sacred mountain is stored in the storage space.”
As the voice of the illusory figure vanished from Lu Yu’s ear, it once again echoed from high above the sky.
“Starting now, the next twelve hours will be a rest period. After these twelve hours, the next day’s slaughter will begin. If you remain seated in the first position for two consecutive days, or keep the kill rankings unchanged, the original reward will be doubled. If you maintain the top position for five consecutive days, you will be rewarded with an item of King Venerable rank.”
The illusory figure dissolved into the void, and everyone remained seated within the halo, motionless.
…
“Resting?” The snake demon looked up at the sky, took out all the Blue Star Souls and evolution liquids, grabbed a few Blue Star Souls and evolution liquids and stuffed them into his mouth together, then retrieved the flesh and blood preserved in his storage bead and started gnawing on it like ordinary food.
The serpent demon was supposed to enhance its power only by devouring humans.
But it is different.
He devoured several of his own kind, absorbing their abilities to enhance his power by consuming the essence of the Blue Planet and evolutionary liquids.
The reason why the Snake Demon is not called a “snake person” is because he has even devoured his own kind, making him a demon among snakes.
…
Qin Hai sat cross-legged on the ground with a blank expression. He took out the evolution liquid, poured it into his mouth, and closed his eyes. “The dead, your sacrifices will not be in vain. Before long, I will offer the enemy’s blood as a tribute to your souls.”
In front of Qin Hai, several stars, each tens of zhang in size, began to rotate. Each star was formed from star spirit stones.
Above the stars, faint streaks of starlight entered Qin Hai’s body.
…
Lu Yu looked up at the sky, retracted his magical flame, and similarly sat cross-legged on the crimson fire ground.
Boom.
Billions of star spirit stones exploded in his storage space.
Streams of starlight poured out from the storage space like a galaxy, then diffused around Lu Yu’s body.
Everyone who had been following closely behind him couldn’t help but gasp in cold air involuntarily.
The vast expanse of this starry river spans dozens of miles, swirling around Lu Yu.
The starlight power within belongs to the Star Spirit Stone, which humans can sense.
It would take the convergence of starlight from at least three billion Xing Ling stones to create a spectacle this magnificent.
Lu Yu opened his mouth and inhaled, and an entire river of stars flowed into his body.
Boom.
Lu Yu’s body exploded, becoming part of the starlight.
Refining the Star Bone, he had always persisted.
Unfortunately, it has never been completed due to excessive costs.
And now, in the quiet moments, facing the major battle that may erupt in the near future, Lu Yu must enhance his strength.
“Perhaps, we will witness a miracle,” said a warrior who had been watching Lu Yu from a distance, his voice filled with excitement.
At this moment, all humans, humanoid races, and demonic beings across the entire land are cultivating.
Twelve hours is neither long nor short.
Everyone is cultivating; no one relaxes for even a moment.
Under pressure and incentives, everyone has already given their all.
At the same time, they also knew that if you didn’t become stronger, there was no hope of leaving alive.
“The slaughter begins,” the illusory figure declared once more, stepping out from the vortex.
Boom.
Surges of even more violent energy began to rise from various locations across the Crimson Flame Region.
The snake demon raised his arm furiously and roared, “Lu Yu, Qin Hai, you two just wait for death. All the rewards will be mine.”
…
Qin Hai stood up and, with an expressionless face, took a step into a battlefield not far away.
His strength is greater.
…
Lu Yu’s eyes were filled with terrifying blood-red light. His star bone had reached sixty-two percent completion, and the strength of his tendons and bones had soared to an astonishing one hundred and thirty zuns.
…
“The war has escalated.”
Many people murmured to themselves, their hearts trembling with emotion.
The sky was stained red with blood, and parts of the ground in the land of crimson flames had turned into pools of blood.
On this day, many people experienced what it means to “harvest.”
When the illusion appeared once again to announce the end of the next day’s massacre, many people felt the air become suffocating.
“The next day, the carnage ended. The top killer was Qin Hai, who slaughtered 672 humanoid beings. The second was She Mo (Snake Demon), who killed 551 humans and demons. The third was Lu Yu, who slayed 496 humanoid lives. The fourth was Huo Wu (Fire Dance), who killed 437 humanoid beings. The fifth was Luo Haotian, who slaughtered 336 humanoid beings. The sixth was Feng Huang Wu (Phoenix Dance), who killed 302 humanoid beings. The seventh was Lin Xiaoyue, who slayed 279 humanoid beings. The eighth was Fang Hua, who killed 200 humanoid beings. The ninth was Yang Lie, who slaughtered 172 humanoid beings. The tenth was Zi Yu (Purple Feather), who killed 160 humanoid beings.”
The new ranking has once again caused a stir.
“What, did I hear that right?”
“Yang from the Celestial Organization was kicked out of the top ten. Who is Lin Xiaoyue in seventh place? How could she be so powerful? Where did she come from?”
“Lin Xiaoyue, that’s Xiaoxiao from Fanggang City, the one who possesses the power of Fire Dragon Rebirth. She has come as well. Among the top ten killers in the rankings, eight are from Lu Yu’s group. This is truly defying the heavens.”
Both humans and demons felt their hearts racing.
Lu Yu’s ranking remained unchanged, but it was obvious to everyone that the number of people he had killed was now very close to that of the second-place contender.
“Seven days left. Is there any chance that someone can stay in the first place for five consecutive days?”
“The one with the most kills will receive a reward, and if someone stays in first place for five consecutive days, the reward will be doubled, making it even more terrifying.”
Countless people were excited, feeling it necessary to see who would ultimately come out on top.
The voice of the illusion continued: “In first place is the Demon Race, rewarded with thirty billion Star Spritual Stones, three thousand Star Blossoms, and five drops of Evolution Liquid. In second place is the Humanoid Race, rewarded with fifty Blue Star Souls and five drops of Evolution Liquid. In third place is the Human Race, rewarded with one billion Star Spiritual Stones. Because they have maintained the third position for two consecutive days, they receive an additional reward of one billion Star Spiritual Stones. The fourth and fifth places receive doubled rewards, while those ranking from sixth to tenth each receive one hundred million Star Spiritual Stones. Meanwhile, the storage space of those who receive rewards will automatically upgrade to level two.”
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, “Come on, how are you going to reward me? My storage space is infinite, you know.”
Once again, options appeared before Lu Yu’s eyes.
One ten-thousand-meter Star Spirit Mine, plus two billion Star Spirit Stones.
A sacred mountain that produces one vial of Evolution Serum, along with five hundred drops of Evolution Serum and an additional one thousand Star Blossoms.
One semi-star-grade sword blank and one piece of star-grade weapon material.
One War King Armor set, 85% damaged.
Lu Yu looked at the reward list presented by the illusion and raised his head toward the sky, saying, “If I don’t take the reward now, can it be accumulated for later?”
“Yes.”
The cold voice of the illusory figure echoed in Lu Yu’s ear.
“Alright then, just keep it for me. I won’t choose this time.”
Lu Yu spoke and once again sat cross-legged back onto the ground.
There’s no need to say more; everyone will seize the time to cultivate.
As for who will continuously hold the top position or even receive the final reward, everyone—including humans, demon clans, and even humanoid races—is filled with immense anticipation.
As soon as the second day’s rest ended, the slaughter escalated once again.
Every day, everyone’s strength is improving, which also means that the battles are becoming more intense.
Meanwhile, the number of participants from all three sides was decreasing, and the battle was becoming even more brutal.
Lu Yu’s star bone completion rate reached 69%, and his physical strength reached one hundred and fifty.
On the third day, the carnage began. What thrilled everyone the most that day was the encounter between Lu Yu and the Snake Demon.
The two sides were less than a kilometer apart when the serpent demon had just slain thirty humans.
Lu Yu had just finished off more than forty humanoid lives.
“Very well, very well,” the snake demon glared at Lu Yu with a sinister voice, “just wait. On the seventh day, I will take your life.”
“Here I come, and your life is mine.” Lu Yu showed no fear, his bloodshot eyes flashing like lightning, shocking everyone present.
Everyone could feel the air solidifying, and how intense the future collision would be.
The serpent demon lunged forward, advancing toward the next enemy.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, stared in the direction the snake demon had left.
The moment he locked eyes with the serpent demon, he felt death for the first time.
“Very strong, surpassing me.”
