The dragon’s roar thundered through the heavens!
Now, the outcome that many people had already foreseen—their victory!
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Lu Yu now, with such momentum, has become invincible!
No one believed that anyone else would dare to step forward, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.
The snake demon, with disheveled hair and an extremely pale face, still couldn’t believe what had happened. Staring at the old serpent man, he cried out, “Why? Why is this different from the records? My venom has nearly mutated to its ultimate state; it should be enough to rival an incomplete毒 dragon. Why did I still lose to him!”
The old snake man patted the shoulder of the snake demon and said solemnly, “It’s not your fault. Your venom indeed can counter the incomplete poison of the毒龙 (toxic dragon). However, there is a prerequisite—the opponent must not have absorbed the blue scorpion’s venom. I suspect that in pursuit of perfection, Lu Yu has already found the blue-tailed scorpion.”
The snake demon raised its head and said, “Blue-tailed scorpion? Isn’t that also one of the deadly poisons mentioned in the records?”
The old serpent man nodded and said, “That’s right. Humans created the Venomous Dragon Body—not merely to possess the physical form of the venomous dragon, but to surpass all poisons. The key catalyst in this process is the blue scorpion. In a normal Venomous Dragon Body’s evolution, the blue scorpion isn’t necessary, allowing the Venomous Dragon Body to fully develop with the venomous dragon’s toxicity, becoming the supreme poison among all poisons. However, by incorporating another top-ten venom among all poisons—specifically, the poison of the blue-tailed scorpion—the Venomous Dragon Body can advance even further in terms of toxicity. Although Lu Yu’s current poison hasn’t yet reached the level of the venomous dragon’s, it’s already stronger than yours. Perhaps he can’t neutralize your poison, but you won’t be able to resist his.”
“Now it’s clear that Lu Yu’s poison has obviously absorbed the essence of the Blue Scorpion’s tail venom, evolving the Poison Dragon’s toxin to its ultimate limit. Right now, he only needs to take the final step to transform into a true Poison Dragon. However, you can rest assured about this. The Snake Demon is an outcast of the Serpent Race; once your poison completes its final mutation, you will certainly be able to rival a fully evolved Poison Dragon.”
The old serpent man explained to the snake demon, then turned his head to fix his gaze on Lu Yu, saying, “This human cannot be spared. Otherwise, he could very likely bring trouble to the humanoid race.”
If the Snake Demon can become king, then Lu Yu is the greatest enemy.
All powerful humans will be enemies of the humanoid race and must be eliminated.
He wished he could kill Lu Yu right away.
The snake-like eyes of the star artifact in his hand had already begun to emit a chilling green light.
Lu Yu said coldly, “Old man, if it weren’t for this challenge, I would have killed you already.”
Whether Lu Yu’s words were truly arrogant or not, the sheer intensity of his presence alone was enough to leave many people gasping for breath.
The old serpent man coldly said, “Lu Yu, you will never leave the Demon Hunter Plains alive. I, an old man, swear here that I will kill you, even if it costs me my life.”
Among the humanoid warriors, a serpent man leaped onto the arena platform and coldly declared, “There are no cowards among the humanoid warriors; we would rather die in battle than die in fear.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon’s claw struck down the snake-man.
The cheers from the crowd grew louder.
Come on, is there any need to continue such a one-sided fight?
Anyone who comes up here at the fourth stage will be instantly killed. Do any of you have the rebirth ability of the Snake Demon?
Another ape demon jumped onto the arena without hesitation, showing absolutely no fear of death. This fearless demeanor astonished many people.
“Lu Yu, isn’t six matches enough for you? Leave the remaining three to me,” Qin Hai said with a frown. “Are you trying to take all the rewards for yourself?”
Qin Hai spoke like this, not even regarding the remaining Zun as enemies.
The cheers of the crowd sounded somewhat off-key.
Because they dare to risk their lives even when they know it’s a death sentence, these humanoid creatures are truly terrifying.
Lu Yu, with equal strength, would surely defeat them when facing these enemies who fear no death.
If the major battle that happened not long ago were still ongoing, they wouldn’t have survived, even at equal strength.
After Lu Yu won five matches, he suddenly retracted his Toxic Dragon Transformation, landed on the ground, and looked at Qin Hai, saying, “For the remaining four matches, you must win them all. I’ve done my best. If you lose, figure out how to fight your way through on your own—I won’t help anyone.”
Lu Yu’s face was pale.
Complete slaughter awakening consumes too much energy. He managed to win five battles, but that was already his limit.
“Fine.” Qin Hai took a big step to the center of the arena and coldly said, “If I can’t win these four matches, I will destroy the King’s Power immediately and withdraw from the battle for the throne.”
Qin Hai was incredibly confident; when he spoke, his words carried the weight of a promise that could not be broken.
This is something that no one dares to underestimate.
Lu Yu’s pressure made everyone gasp for breath.
But it’s uncertain for Qin Hai.
He hasn’t demonstrated his strength yet.
Lu Yu went down, and the humanoid race saw hope once again.
As long as they defeat Qin Hai, they will have won.
The old snake man said in a deep voice: “You must be careful now. This man is an inheritor and was definitely a king before. Fight with your lives, or you won’t win.”
A Yuan demon nodded and stepped onto the arena.
There’s no need to say more; the remaining four matches are destined to be intense battles.
Wang Wei of Qin Hai demonstrated his power, truly suppressing everything.
He was so mighty and unstoppable that four of the fearless, almost-superhuman warriors fell by his hand one after another.
At the moment when Qin Hai severed the head of the last warrior, the ruins of the king’s city became a sea of cheers.
“I won, hahaha, I won.”
Innumerable humans burst into laughter.
From despair to hope, they have gone through great joys and sorrows, and now they are celebrating heartily.
Boom.
The arena rose, ascending towards the sky.
From within the dark clouds, a thunderous voice echoed: “The humans have won. Therefore, the humanoid clan shall withdraw from the ruins of the royal city and shall not engage in any arena battles for one year. They are forbidden from stepping foot into the ruins of the royal city again.”
“Understood.”
Although the humanoid race was reluctant, they had to retreat now.
Because they were defeated, they would be even less likely to defy the will of the divine.
All the defeated warriors perished.
A rumbling sound pierced through the clouds, coldly declaring, “Humanity has won. Reward distribution commencing.”
Boom!
Ten beams of light fell upon Lu Yu and the others.
“Lu Yu won five matches and received rewards of 500 attack power, 500 maximum health, and 500 defense. Qin Hai won four matches and received…”
Every time the voice finished announcing a person’s reward, a beam of light above someone would disappear.
Lu Yu received a reward of 500 units in each of the three attributes. His maximum life, excluding the additional bonus from Star Treasures, had already reached an impressive 1,100 units. In preparation for this arena battle, others had given Lu Yu various consumable items that significantly increased his maximum life. Added to this were the enhancements activated during the fight through his Star Soul, pushing his maximum life beyond 1,000 units—an improvement that even exceeded Lu Yu’s expectations.
His attack power reached nine hundred Zun.
The most terrifying aspect was the increase in defense power, which actually reached one thousand five hundred units.
With such defensive capabilities, even a fourth-stage humanoid race would pose no threat to him.
After all the rewards had been distributed, the arena had already vanished into the dark clouds.
The dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed.
The starlight became even more dazzling.
The old serpent man had already stood atop the mountains at the edge of the ruins, staring at Lu Yu with a cold, sinister gleam in his eyes.
More than one hundred thousand humanoid warriors had already emerged from the ruins.
Humans won this battle, but now no one can feel happy anymore.
These humanoid warriors may not enter the ruins, but that doesn’t mean they can’t stand guard outside them.
Can they go out?
They still have a long way to go before they can leave the Demon Hunting Plains.
Especially the old serpent man’s gloomy eyes were more terrifying than the devil himself.
The blonde beauty walked up to Lu Yu and said, “Be careful, I’m afraid they won’t let you leave this place alive.”
Lu Yu nodded, realizing that the old serpent man had already set his sights on him.
The snake demon roared furiously from the other side of the mountain, “Humans, I want more humans! I want to kill Lu Yu, and I want all of humanity to perish completely!”
No one could see how furious the serpent demon had become, but they could feel its raging anger.
“The ruins of the royal city are safe, but how are we going to leave?”
The person from the Celestial Deity Organization felt their scalp tingling and swallowed hard, saying, “We’re still very far from the entrance to the Demon Hunting Plains. With the humanoid warriors blocking our way outside, it’s extremely difficult to escape.”
“Don’t forget that the old serpent still holds a Star Artifact in his hands. If its power were unleashed, who among us could possibly escape?”
A leader of the Celestial Deity Organization helplessly chuckled and said, “Our organization is currently researching how to open a teleportation array to the ruins of the royal city, but the problem is that no one knows how much longer it will take.”
“I can’t wait!” Lu Yu said in a deep voice: “I don’t have that much time to wait.”
One-third of the ten years has already passed. Would the remaining time be enough for him to face the Japanese?
The parasitic demon from South Korea, which even drove back the awakened King in the battle in Japan, gave him reason to believe that another King had also awakened somewhere else.
Perhaps that King was still a guardian.
Given the abilities of a King’s Guardian, what terrifying power would he possess?
Lu Yu dared not think any further. He felt that time was always insufficient, and his strength would never be enough to satisfy him.
His current strength is sufficient to enter the realm of controlling demons.
As long as the deities do not trip him up again because he has grown stronger, he feels he can confront the venomous dragon.
I wonder how much that venomous dragon in the Fourth Unified Domain has grown.
No, that’s not right. It’s two heads.
Lu Yu thought of the first time he entered the Tianmo realm, and couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips into a smile.
Some of the thrills are still quite alluring and tinged with a hint of the sensual.
At this time, many people were discussing whether they should go out or not.
The answer provided by the Celestial Deity Organization is that within one year, the transmission array should be able to directly target this ruin.
Moreover, these humanoid races cannot possibly remain stationed at this ruined area forever.
As for food, everyone has prepared plenty, which would be sufficient to last a year.
Lu Yu also found his own warriors, whose task was simply to guard this ruined area and prevent anyone from entering.
Lu Yu had a large number of star spirits and other items on him.
Lu Yu provided these warriors with enough resources for a year’s cultivation, and even gave some warriors who were about to advance to the Sovereign realm the evolution liquid.
And he promised them that if they passed the future assessments and entered the core domain, they would receive a powerful skill granted by him.
These warriors were extremely excited. Although they might not be able to leave this place for a year, it would not hinder their cultivation at all.
Most importantly, the skill bestowed by Lu Yu was simply too tempting to resist.
People outside the ruins may not be able to see it.
However, those who experienced this battle clearly know how terrifying Lu Yu’s skills are.
Without even mentioning the Poison Dragon Transformation, each of the other skills is at least of the Supreme level.
Moreover, it is extraordinarily rare, even among the至尊 level.
It would truly be a stroke of luck to have the chance to obtain one.
While thinking, Lu Yu walked toward the mountains at the edge of the ruins.
Beyond the ruins, a vast expanse of dark, humanoid warriors stretched out.
Originally, they should have been the victors, but now they are the losers!
Pairs of eyes were fixed on Lu Yu’s body.
Among them, the shadow of the old serpent man was the clearest; flames seemed almost to shoot from his eyes.
Lu Yu glanced downward and then retreated into the ruins.
His consumption is too great; he can’t recover in a short period of time.
So take this opportunity to rest well during the period when humanoids are prohibited from entering the ruins of the royal city.
In the following days, the ruins of Wangcheng remained very quiet.
The humanoid species showed no intention of leaving, so those inside ceased further contemplation and focused themselves on digging and searching.
They will never know that underground, three people are collecting a large number of the finest treasures. Judging by this period of time, the amount of the best items at the bottom has already decreased by one-third.
Lu Yu had almost fully recovered by the fourth day.
However, Lu Yu knew that the old serpent was outside.
Since the old serpent man has already declared that he will risk his life to kill him, it cannot be false.
Therefore, Lu Yu had to wait until he regained his peak condition before heading out again.
In the following days, Lu Yu did nothing.
Except for getting enough rest, he kept moving around the territory he had marked out for himself, stretching his muscles and bones, and adjusting both his body and mind to the best possible condition.
He has a key to the entrance of the Demonic Dominion, and the only way to enter is to open it at the Blood Sacrifice Altar.
Therefore, he had to leave here and return to Earth.
Not only him, but Qin Hai, Luo Mo, and others have also been resting in various ways to adjust their condition.
The soldiers among the ruins also guessed that Lu Yu and the others were about to take action.
Although Luo Mo and others gradually fell silent, many people knew that it was about to begin.
“If everyone could go out and bring the situation here to the Celestial Deity Organization, perhaps the portal could be activated ahead of schedule in just a few months.”
All the props collected here by the various organizations were handed over to each organization’s ace, who would then take them out.
Qin Hai looked at a demon, nodded, and said, “Wait here for me. I’ll be back soon.”
The battle blade, on the verge of shattering, was gripped in Qin Hai’s hand, exuding a chilling coldness that made one’s heart tremble.
“It’s about to begin.”
Many people became excited, as they were about to witness another major battle.
This time, there were no weaklings. Dozens of the strongest cultivators were breaking through, and it was even a grand battle where star artifacts were deployed.
Qin Hai and the others didn’t move; they were all waiting.
Since Lu Yu can only perform the Star-Calling Technique after dark, he will not take action until nightfall.
The old serpent man seemed to sense something as well, and he ordered the humanoid warriors to spread out.
Once the star artifacts collide, everything around them will be destroyed; even fourth-stage humanoid warriors would be instantly annihilated.
The sky gradually darkened, and the stars in the sky began to shine more brightly.
Lu Yu stood up, his eyes fixed on the starlight.
The art of Star Summoning rotates.
Vroom!
A star in the sky began to move, and a cascade of starlight poured down.
These starlights fell upon Lu Yu’s body, rapidly integrating into his flesh and blood, transforming into powerful energy before being released once again.
Boom.
Lu Yu’s power instantly surged to two thousand five hundred.
Then, flames erupted from Lu Yu’s body.
He transformed into a ten-foot-tall flaming giant and stood in the center of the ruins.
“The time has come,” Qin Hai said, his eyes shining with a light that pierced the heavens.
Lu Yu hadn’t even started moving yet, but he had already set into motion.
Qin Hai transformed into a demon over ten zhang tall, and even the battle blade in his hand became a gigantic sword.
Qin Hai leaped into the sky in one step, soared across the mountains, and slashed downward toward the old serpent man beyond the peaks.
Here, the only one who could threaten them was this old serpent man.
“You’re not my match.” The old serpent man raised his snake bone staff with one arm and swept it toward Qin Hai.
The glint of blades clashed with the shining eyes of the serpent. A sandstorm surged across dozens of miles of land, with entire swaths of sand and rocks being hurled into the air.
Several mountains were hit by the shockwave and reduced to rubble.
Behind the snake’s head, bones began to grow.
The old serpent man, filled with murderous intent, pressed the snake bone against Qin Hai. He then took a step forward, his serpent tail sweeping towards Qin Hai.
Hum.
Qin Hai wasn’t slow either; he leaped aside in one swift motion, not giving the old snake man a chance to touch him.
The power of eight thousand Zuns—if you’re chosen, you’re certain to die.
Meanwhile, within the ruins, a towering flame giant leaped up.
Within the palm of the Flame Giant, a sword blade composed of starlight stretched for a thousand zhang, cleaving into the ranks of the nearby humanoid warriors.
“Ahh!” the old serpent man screamed, nearly driven mad.
Lu Yu did not go looking for him, but instead charged straight into the battlefield.
Lu Yu’s current strength of two thousand five hundred had surpassed that of a fourth-stage humanoid warrior. With the power of the Xing Qi in a single strike, a passage nearly dozens of meters wide was carved right in front of him.
The old snake man abandoned Qin Hai and lunged toward Lu Yu.
Without hesitation, Qin Hai raised his war blade and slashed at a nearby group of humanoid warriors, carving out a path through them.
A large black man, a blonde beauty… even thousands of people rushed out, they wanted to leave this place.
Lu Yu lured the old snake man away, leaving Qin Hai holding the star artifact, making him invincible.
The old snake man’s eyes turned blood red. He knew this would be the outcome, yet he was powerless to change it.
He could only fixate on Lu Yu and was determined to kill him.
Lu Yu was already more than ten miles away, and the old serpent man chased after him.
Dozens of humanoid warriors blocked Lu Yu’s path ahead. They knew they were certain to die, but they were creating an opportunity for the old serpent man.
The blade of carnage swept outward, cutting down dozens of warriors at the waist.
In an instant, the old serpent’s starry weapon crashed down on Lu Yu, its violent force shattering the flames that surrounded his body.
Hmph!
Lu Yu turned his body and, at the moment his form shattered, he still managed to strike out with a palm.
The old serpent man staggered backward, his chest struck by the flames, leaving it charred and blackened.
The old snake man roared, “Lu Yu, you can’t escape. I’ll give up my life to kill you.”
