The Evolution Pearl cannot evolve weapons or abilities.
Lu Yu read carefully and discovered that the evolution of the Evolutionary Pearl required stripping away all human strength and starting the evolutionary process anew.
To use the Evolution Pearl, one must forsake all of their current powers.
The newly evolved humans might possess a state of being born with the strength of a thousand at once, like the Jiling race, or they could evolve by consuming other lives, just as the snake-human race does.
Before using the Evolution Pearl, everything was uncertain.
Lu Yu sighed; he had walked too far.
If he had dared to try re-evolving before reaching level nine.
But everything he now possesses is irreplaceable; once lost, it can never be regained.
Therefore, Lu Yu gave up on this choice.
The remaining few items are also distinct in their own ways, and the existence of each is so valuable that it is impossible to discard or choose among them.
If it came to what he needed most, Lu Yu still needed the King’s Soul the most.
But Bloodshot Eyes still quickly blinked, signaling Lu Yu not to choose that option.
That’s right!
Lu Yu’s eyes lit up as he suddenly understood.
Even if I obtained everything through the memories of the King’s Soul, it was still by my own means.
Although this knowledge and memory are very important, especially the king’s skills, which are invaluable treasures that one would never want to abandon.
However, one’s own path no longer belongs to oneself, but continues along the road paved by ancestors.
Then you will never be able to break through on your own.
The bloodshot eyes were guiding me to carve out my own path in life.
Then, without the King’s Soul, what else should be chosen?
Lu Yu furrowed his brows, hesitating among the remaining nine items.
Neither the shadowy figures nor the bloodshot eyes made a sound, waiting for Lu Yu’s choice.
“I won’t choose any of these!” Lu Yu suddenly raised his head and said, “I want to change my options.”
“You can only choose from these items,” the figure said coldly.
“But I feel like I can’t possibly have only these options. I want to see all the choices available. Since you’ve already given me these, I think you should be able to show me all of them.”
“You’re too verbose,” the shadowy figure said coldly. “Only these ten choices represent the highest rewards accumulated from your trial achievements; there’s no option to change them.”
“I want Wang Zun’s bone!” said Lu Yu.
“It’s impossible,” the shadowy figure said in a deep voice. “Your reward is far from enough for a complete King’s Sacred Bone.”
“Who said I wanted all of it? I already have part of the King Zun bone myself. I’m after the remaining portion.”
Lu Yu laughed.
Moments ago, Huan Mo returned to the ruins of the royal city, where the two tomb-raiding master and apprentice still had over a dozen artifacts in their possession. Combined with the ones he currently retained, the total amounted to thirty-six.
“Now I have seven phalangeal bones in my left hand and a fragment of the humerus in my right arm…” Lu Yu listed all the King Venerable Bones he currently possessed and said, “In total, I now have thirty-six pieces. I still need the remaining one hundred and seventy King Venerable Bones. How many can you give me?”
The figure fell silent, gazing at the bloodshot eyes, from which a chilling gleam emanated through the blurred silhouette.
He saw Blood Eye wink just now.
Although Xue Mu didn’t say a word, such an approach was certainly understandable to anyone with sense.
Lu Yu gave up the most tempting choice; it would have been strange if no one had tried to stop him.
At this moment, Xue Mu burst into hearty laughter and said, “He has already made his choice; why won’t you give it to him? This human has clearly indicated what he wants—it seems to fall right within the rules, doesn’t it? Are you really going to make him point out every single bone to specify which one?”
Xue Mu’s interjection, seemingly casual yet deliberate, caused the figure before him to exude an aura of deadly intent.
Lu Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and in an instant, he understood.
I made the right choice when I selected Wang Zun’s bone for myself.
However, I forgot the most critical part—designation.
Once you have designated a specific section, you can receive a reward.
The bloodshot eyes were reminding him in their own unique way.
If the person in charge still doesn’t give the reward, he can then designate it himself, one by one.
“Okay, one hundred and seventy points, your rewards have accumulated enough.” The figure raised a hand and swept it aside.
The text in front of Lu Yu’s eyes began to flash rapidly.
…
Congratulations on receiving the Level 4 reward for the Starry Battlefield, totaling one hundred and seventy King’s Bones.
Congratulations on passing the Starry Battlefield. The reward will be placed into your storage space. Please check it carefully.
Congratulations on passing the Starry Battlefield. You will leave the Starry Battlefield in ten seconds.
Countdown begins—ten…
With bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Yu, they seemed to smile slightly, narrowing gently before vanishing together with the dark clouds.
After taking a glance at Lu Yu, the figure vanished without a trace.
“Haha!”
“Lu Yu burst out laughing triumphantly.”
The countdown ended swiftly as it reached “one.”
Lu Yu’s vision went black for a moment, and then he found himself standing inside the Grand Hall of the Demon Sovereign.
Just as he was beginning to discern his surroundings, he was suddenly transported out of the grand hall.
“Mr. Lu, you’ve finally come out!” Outside the grand hall, the demon clans, including the魔人猿 (demonic ape), were overjoyed when they saw Lu Yu.
“How long have I been inside?” asked Lu Yu.
The giant python said, “You’ve been inside for ten days, which completely exceeds the time limit set by the Grand Demon Hall.”
“Hiss.”
Lu Yu inhaled sharply through his teeth.
There’s absolutely no sense of time on the Starry Battlefield.
“Mr. Lu, we’ve found what you asked for: two and a half Shengqi fragments, and a King Venerable Battle Armor damaged up to ninety-five percent. Additionally, we found two mutated Stellar Spirit Beads.”
The Five Zhi Zuns said, handing over the items they had obtained to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu put away the half-star artifact fragment and the Wangzun battle armor.
As for the two mutated Spirit Pearls, Lu Yu took a quick glance and recognized them as two decent skills, though they were of no use to him.
“You’ve done well. The rest is for me to handle. From this day forward, whoever dares to step foot in this city will be my enemy.”
Lu Yu nodded toward the five Zun and said, “It’s almost time; soon this domain will be closed.”
This opened domain is quite special, so its closing time differs from the standard time for regular magical domains.
…
Nanning, the city that once ushered in the reign of the Demon King, has been washed in blood countless times since its first opening.
The demons here have reproduced for countless generations, and aside from a few exceptions, none of them live more than five years.
More than ten days ago, Lu Yu arrived.
His words thrilled all the Demon Lords and demon clans who possessed human thoughts.
Soon, all the demons in the city received this news.
They were thrilled beyond measure, feeling that they had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
As long as they don’t leave this city, they can live in peace and safety.
There are now strong individuals willing to protect them.
They finally no longer had to worry about being used as sacrifices to open the Demon Realm.
And it was on the fourth day after Lu Yu entered the Demon King’s domain.
More than one hundred humans, along with over forty demons, had all come.
Behind him, eleven demons were bound together by several extremely long iron chains.
These eleven demons had knives pressed to their necks and were being dragged into the city like chickens by several burly men who held them by the throat.
They could not struggle, but their fury was boundless.
They were of the same demonic race, yet never did they expect that their own kin would use them for blood sacrifices.
Some struggled and cursed, while others wore icy expressions, coldly staring at these humans and demons.
A demon said, “Stop struggling. Out of your group of eleven, eight of you can enter the Dominion of Demons. As long as you manage to kill your opponents, you will survive. I guarantee you will leave this city alive.”
A human said, “That’s right. To open the Demon Realm, a blood sacrifice is unavoidable. Everyone, if you want to survive, show us your strength. As long as you bring forth treasures that satisfy us, you will be allowed to leave alive.”
These people, who had been chatting and laughing, immediately put on icy cold expressions the moment they stepped into the city.
A devil monarch closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings, chuckling, “Hehe, I can feel it. This city now has nearly five million devils. It’s definitely enough to activate level five, and perhaps even a higher level might be possible.”
A human’s face darkened as he coldly said, “Hmm, something’s wrong. I could originally sense the presence of the Zun here, but now it’s gone. Without these five Zuns, how can we activate the Domain of Domination?”
“What? Did those five Zun really escape?” A demon, radiating murderous intent, sneered coldly, “They’ve got some nerve! When I get my hands on them, I’ll tear them apart piece by piece.”
A cold voice said, “We still need five more. Just randomly pick a Demon City and capture five people there. There’s a Demon City not far from here.”
“Hmm, you guys wait a moment, we’ll come over.” Several individuals, both demons and humans, quickly departed.
“We’ll be waiting for you at the Blood Sacrifice Platform.” After exchanging greetings, the group continued on their way.
Without five warriors, this passage cannot be opened.
The remaining people, who were escorting the eleven captured demons, soon noticed something was off about the city’s atmosphere shortly after entering it.
In the past, when the demons here saw them coming, they would already be trembling with fear, lying motionless on the ground.
But now these demon clans were still trembling with fear, yet their expressions seemed to show less dread than before.
“What’s wrong with these demon people?”
One person frowned and said, “Something isn’t right!”
“Yeah, these demons seem to have lost their fear of us.”
As the crowd was discussing, a demon-overlord-level Demon Ape approached them nervously. It struggled to control its voice and said, “My lords, a man named Lu Yu asked me to deliver a message to you. He said this city is under his protection. If any of you harm even one more demon in this city, he will hunt that person down until they are dead.”
The demon ape finished speaking in one breath, his pace not fast at all.
After he finished speaking, he felt as if he were about to collapse from exhaustion.
After all, those standing before him were all Zun-level experts, and some of them had already reached the astonishing strength of a hundred Zun, or even more powerful.
Although Lu Yu said so, they still had some doubts about his authority.
If he ever provoked these supreme beings, he might very well die.
Even so, the demon ape still felt uneasy but steeled itself and stepped forward to give it a try.
He finished speaking while observing the changes in their facial expressions, wanting to see whether these people truly knew who Lu Yu was.
It was very quiet all around, as if the name Lu Yu carried such威慑力 that it silenced everything.
What was originally a relaxed atmosphere with over a hundred people, the smiles on the faces of the demonic race all froze.
“You’re talking about Lu Yu?” A human’s face turned extremely pale. “Are you sure you’re referring to Lu Yu, a young human!”
