Chapter 535: Star Treasure Bone

The palm of the Heaven-Sundering Demon King shattered Lu Yu.

The power of a king is in itself a form of oppression; even a slight trace of a king’s awe-inspiring pressure can be a devastating force to others’ lives.

Lu Yu didn’t even have a chance to block it.

At the moment when Lu Yu was about to be crushed to pieces, a shadowy figure emerged from behind the Sky-splitting Devil King, shrouded in a thick mist of darkness.

He was only a foot away from the demon king.

The Sky-Sundering King nearly went mad at a distance, shrieking wildly, “Ah! No, don’t! Lu Yu, dare you!”

He felt fear.

The Sky-Sundering Demon King is his royal blood separated from his body and transformed, immensely powerful. However, once injured, the damage inflicted upon him becomes extraordinarily terrifying.

And the most terrifying part is that it could fall into the hands of someone like Lu Yu!

That’s an illusion demon.

Lu Yu had always kept a certain power in reserve. The existence of the Phantom Demon was meant to save him in times of critical need.

When the Sky-Sundering Demon King raised his hand for the first strike, Lu Yu immediately felt a sense of fear. The power of the Sky-Sundering was not only capable of tearing through the void, but it was also continuously destroying the vitality within his body.

Lu Yu didn’t believe his rebirth power would work again if he were struck one more time.

The demon was summoned forth.

This was secretly summoned by Lu Yu after he entered this space.

He needed to ensure that the Phantom Demon could penetrate the barrier of this space before he could formulate the next plan.

The demon can indeed be summoned, and now is the chance.

The Devil King killed him and left his back to the Illusion King.

The demoness choked the back of the devil king’s neck.

Then—

Boom!

Infinite toxic gas surged from the body of the Phantom Demon, and thousands upon thousands of tiny toxic tendrils burrowed into the body of the Sky-Sundering Demon King.

This is just an illusion, or rather, merely a projection.

When the toxic gas entered the phantom’s body, a powerful aura also erupted from the phantom.

The demon was shaken violently, spitting blood from its mouth, and crashed into the passageway.

The phantom of the Heaven-Sundering Demon King also began to be corroded by the toxic gas. Large patches of his skin and flesh turned black, and drops of dark blood fell to the ground.

Bang!

The phantom exploded, transforming into a surge of black light that rushed toward the Sky-Sundering King’s body.

“No!” the Sky-Sundering King roared in a monstrous voice; in that instant, he appeared terrifying beyond measure. “Qin Hai, quickly destroy my King’s Blood!”

His royal blood is poisoned; if it were to return to his body, it would bring the poison with it.

With his abilities, he didn’t believe he could resist this poison.

Qin Hai took a single step and stood beside the Rift Heaven King Zun. With a flip of the Star Artifact in his hand, he slashed out a beam of light, separating the dark aura from the Rift Heaven King Zun.

“Destroy!”

Qin Hai did not speak, but instead shot forth fiery blood flames from his eyes, illuminating the Wang blood.

Boom!

That black light ignited.

The Sky-Sundering King let out a piteous scream as his bone wings behind him gradually shed, transforming into starlight and vanishing into the void.

He was transforming back into a human from a demon, and the demonic aura on his body began to fade away. Even the color of his skin and eyes started to change.

But at that moment, within the black light, an extremely thin shadow pierced through the fading glow of the star artifact and struck the Rift King’s chest.

The demonic aura around him is fading, leaving only the power fluctuations of Wang Zun.

“Oh!”

The Sky-Sundering King swept a large portion of flesh and blood from his own chest with a single hand motion.

That piece of flesh was sliced off, even the bones on the chest were removed.

His heart had already turned black in one corner!

“How could this happen, how could this happen!”

The blade that pierced the chest was a weapon of slaughter.

But now it’s just a glimmer of cold light, covered with poison.

The poison has already entered the bloodstream.

The Heaven-Sundering King let out a large mouthful of blood, which already contained streaks of black blood.

“Okay, very good. Lu Yu, you win. Ha ha, okay, very good!” The Sky-Sundering King Sage thought of the outcome of that strange-mouthed person and knew that he himself had been defeated. He became filled with boundless resentment and hatred.

He is no longer a member of the demon race; his royal bloodline has been destroyed, and he is now merely human.

But he was still Wang Zun.

This is already useless.

The poison has already entered the bloodstream, and even penetrated into the bones.

“Lu Yu, this is my final strike. Take it if you can! Even if you can endlessly reincarnate, you will die if you fail to withstand this!” Knowing his own death was inevitable, the Sky-splitting King Sage’s aura surged higher and higher.

The original Sky-splitting King’s attack power was merely around five or six thousand.

And this power was rapidly breaking through, rising from sixty thousand to seventy thousand, and still surging upward without pause.

“Annihilation?!” Qin Hai was shaken as he looked at the Sky-splitting King, saying, “You, you actually discarded your own soul. This is, this is the power that slays everything. All abilities will become ineffective.”

“This is the first time I have ever felt so humiliated in my entire existence,” roared the Heaven-Sundering King, his chest puffed out. With the demonic aura gone, radiant light around him transformed into a brilliant golden hue, exuding immense pride and commanding profound reverence.

He was set off like a god, towering and majestic, with the heavens and earth beneath him.

“This incarnation is not here to assist you, but because I must kill this human! The name ‘Sky-Sunder’ must not be tainted by humanity!”

The power of the Sky-Sundering King surged past eight thousand尊 and continued to rise. His hair danced wildly in the air, and his bloodshot eyes were on the verge of madness.

The old man at the other end of the passage stiffened and said, “Destruction? Lu Yu, how exactly did you manage it? How could you make a King’s Reverence sacrifice his life in a single strike?”

At this moment, beneath a mountain, several people cheered and laughed loudly, saying, “Senior, we found it! We found it! It’s this mountain, this very mountain!”

Upon hearing this, the old man flashed toward the source of the sound.

Lu Yu’s mission was to block, while his mission was to retrieve the treasure.

Whether it will be successful or not depends on whether Lu Yu can withstand this blow.

Lu Yu was still coughing up blood. To destroy the golden essence within his body, he had even risked self-destructing multiple times, each attempt aimed at eliminating that golden element from his blood. Now, the golden essence in his blood had already vanished, and the cracks on his body were rapidly healing.

However, when he saw the appearance of the Sky-splitting King, his expression became unprecedentedly solemn!

Lu Yu raised his hand, lifting it above his head, and coldly said, “Fine. I’ll grant your wish and fight you with my strongest attack.”

Unlike the surge in the Heavenly King’s aura, Lu Yu’s aura was actually weakening.

The power of the Sky-splitting King surged to nine thousand zuns, forcing even Qin Hai to retreat.

Wang Zun’s strength is recovering.

With a single breath from the Sky-Sundering King, the surrounding void trembled in unison.

Lu Yu’s own strength was also around five thousand zuns.

And now these powers were gradually fading away; the intense fluctuations of his aura began to weaken, his hair was turning white, and even his skin started to wither and dry.

Such a vision left the group momentarily bewildered.

Could this be a mutual destruction strike?

Above Lu Yu’s raised palm, a dazzling ball of white light was gathering, its brilliance blinding.

When the crowd looked up, their eyes began to bleed.

“This, this is the King-Beheading Blade!” the Scatter Demon exclaimed in shock. “How is this possible? This is the skill of the Unknighted King. No, this is the King-Sundering Blade of the King Lord himself—it’s the power to truly slay a king. How could he possess it? How could he possibly use it?”

“Unofficial King!” When the snake-man, Kun Tai, and Qin Hai looked at Lu Yu, the murderous intent in their expressions grew even stronger.

“Zhan Wang Dao, this is a power that only the King of Crowns can wield. Ordinary humans are incapable of harnessing this force; it is connected to the innate talent of those born without a crown.”

Qin Hai gritted his teeth and said, “I should have figured it out earlier, I should have known all along. Could someone become this powerful relying solely on their physical body? Talent—his talent is actually the gift of an uncrowned king.”

The reborn Demon King puppet said coldly, “This cannot be allowed to continue. If he grows any stronger, even if he doesn’t become a King or a King’s Vassal, his power alone could rival the two strongest combatants.”

The Sky-Sundering King let out a hearty laugh and said, “Haha, isn’t this great? You’re still the uncrowned king after all. Lu Yu, today I’ll perish with you—it’s worth it!”

His power has surpassed the Ten Thousand Sovereigns. However, after reaching the level of Ten Thousand Sovereigns, his strength entered a subtle transformation, evolving toward a certain type of power.

Everyone knew that this was Wang Zun’s path of evolution.

Kuntai’s voice turned cold as he said, “I have a plan that might just allow us to kill Lu Yu.”

“What?” Qin Hai and the others exchanged glances, their expressions shifting as they looked toward Kuntai.

A king named Zun had already unleashed destruction, disregarding his own life.

This way, they couldn’t guarantee that they could kill Lu Yu.

When Kun Tai said that, did he have any specific method in mind?

“I need you all to hold off the Phantom Demon and then create a path for me,” Kun Tai said earnestly. “The power of the Parasitic Demon lies in its ability to parasitize. If I can penetrate Lu Yu’s body, I can continuously drain his vitality and all his attributes. When the King-Beheading Blade is unleashed, I believe that will be the moment he is weakest. My success rate of parasitizing him will be one hundred percent. Do you have confidence in opening a passage for me?”

Qin Hai heard this with great delight and said, “Excellent, now I have a plan.”

The Rogue Demon said, “The power of the Rogue Demon is dispersion. I can entangle the Illusion Demon, but only for an instant.”

The snake man and the puppet said, “We’ll handle restraining Lu Yu’s movements.”

The group quickly began discussing.

Suddenly—

The sky came to a standstill.

The aura of the Sky-Sundering King vanished completely; he stood in place yet seemed as if he no longer existed in this world.

The next second—

Boom!

The starlight in the sky froze.

“Kill!”

The Sky-Sundering King Lord let out a fierce roar. His blood ignited within his body, and the rising crimson mist connected with the void.

The void he stepped across bore long, gaping cracks that followed in his wake like a great dragon moving alongside him.

The void became his cloak, and the heavens and earth became the path beneath his feet.

“Behead!”

Lu Yu’s blood seemed to be drained in an instant, his raised right hand slashing downward. All the flesh and vitality in his body appeared to vanish completely.

Boom!

The blade of light, a zhang in length, left his arm and in an instant arrived before the Celestial King of the Ruptured Sky.

“Buzz!” The Sky-splitting King’s eyes shot out beams of light.

Two beams of golden light struck the King-Beheading Blade, halting its blade slash.

“哗啦啦!”

The glint of the blade trembled, and the Sky-Sundering King’s body seemed to stagger slightly, as if struck by a heavy blow.

Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the foot of the Sky-Sundering King was forced backward a small step by the slash of the blade’s light.

After taking one step back, the void around the Rift King Sovereign was torn apart, and large portions of the虚空 were absorbed into his body.

Boom!

The Sky-Sundering King took another step forward.

Bang!

The glint of the blade split apart the gaze of the Heaven-Sundering King.

“Ahh.” One of the Sky Ruler’s eyes exploded, leaving behind a black hole.

Black blood was flowing from his eye sockets.

The King-Beheading Blade is a concentrated manifestation of Lu Yu’s spirit and energy, qualifying as a fatal strike.

The aura of the Sky-Sundering King became fierce and brutal.

He suddenly let down his guard.

Rushed toward the glint of the blade.

The King-Sundering Blade pierced through the heart of the Sky-Sundering King, emerging from his back.

“Die!” At that moment, Crack Heaven King abandoned all defense in a final act of mutual destruction, lunging towards Lu Yu in his last moments of life.

“Damn it!” Lu Yu’s expression trembled; he never expected the Heaven-Sundering King to become so ruthless.

The Demon God stirred.

His mission was to protect Lu Yu, and under the immense mental pressure from Lu Yu, he had no choice but to comply.

The demon of disintegration stirred.

His body transformed into thousands of tendrils of demonic energy that surged toward Xuanmo, binding him in place like chains.

“Ahh!”

The demon let out a shrill scream, its body erupting with toxic gas as it charged toward the chains formed by the retreating demon.

If Lu Yu dies, he won’t be able to survive either.

He must save Lu Yu’s life.

“No use. The power of the Sanmo is in its dispersion; once we scatter, you’ll have to break through by force alone, and poison will no longer work. But tell me, can you withstand the power of ten thousand beings?”

The Scatter Demon trapped the Illusion Demon.

The Sky-Sundering King rushed in front of Lu Yu, his face twisted with ferocity as he continuously coughed, his vitality waning rapidly.

At the same time, the light emanating from him grew increasingly intense!

The hand of the Sky-Sundering King pressed against Lu Yu’s chest, and all the radiant light flowed from his arm into Lu Yu’s body.

At the same time, cracks began to spread across the Heavenly King’s body, emitting specks of radiant light, as his flesh transformed into stardust and vanished.

“Destroying enemies also means destroying oneself. Lu Yu, to kill a future king, or rather, an uncrowned king, I have truly made it worth it.” The Sky-splitting King laughed heartily.

The four dragon warriors in the passage sprang into action.

“Roar.”

One person let out a dragon’s roar. As he moved, scales covered his entire body, and a tail extended from his coccyx.

His speed was incredibly fast; in an instant, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed to Lu Yu’s side.

“Kill!”

Qin Hai and others also arrived.

The Parasitic Demon was the fastest. In the instant he lunged toward the passage, he transformed into a wisp of black mist and began to seep into Lu Yu’s body.

Qin Hai and the others were not slow either.

“Roar!”

The other three Dragon Clan warriors had also arrived.

The three instantly transformed into dragons, revealing their dragon clan’s defensive prowess, and withstood the assault from Qin Hai and the other three.

The dragon warrior beside Lu Yu lifted him up and threw him toward the rear of the passage.

“Damn it.” The parasite demon’s attempt to take over failed, and its demonic energy took form, launching a punch straight at the dragon warrior’s chest.

“So, this is your plan, trying to buy time for Lu Yu?” The snake man laughed loudly: “Lu Yu is as good as dead. Do you really think you can stop me?”

The dragon clan warriors said nothing, their faces cold as ice, and the four of them stood side by side, blocking the passage.

Lu Yu’s body landed on the ground behind him, rolling in the passage as his withered form began to radiate new vitality.

At the same time, however, one of his arms began to turn into starlight, vanishing bit by bit, starting from his fingertips.

“Haha,” Qin Hai and others couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter when they saw it.

It worked, it worked.

No matter how powerful Lu Yu was, he could not withstand destruction in the end.

Lu Yu regained some vitality and sat up coughing blood violently, with half of his arm’s flesh and blood completely gone.

However, his bones are different; they are a mixture of the King’s Sacred Bone and the Star Bone, the strongest bones of all, and they still exist.

“Star Treasure!” The serpent man, with sharp eyes, laughed loudly: “His bones will be transformed into a complete Star Treasure.”

“Haha, excellent, excellent. A complete Star Treasure Bone, and surely some of Lu Yu’s abilities remain within it. He is priceless!”
