Chapter 537: King vs. King

Four dragon warriors stepped back, realizing that this matter no longer concerned them.

They helped Lu Yu block this wave of attacks, giving him the opportunity he needed. What came after was no longer their concern.

All they could do was to have done their best.

San Mo couldn’t move.

He trapped the demon, which is equivalent to trapping a Lu Yu.

There’s even a Lu Yu!

It’s not six against one, but five against one.

There’s nothing more to say.

Qin Hai struck first, his towering figure over ten zhang tall swinging a war blade, as if a war god had descended.

Boom!

Lu Yu didn’t hold back at all. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a wave of poison outward.

The blade’s glow swept across Lu Yu’s body, not even breaking the skin, but sending him flying backward for dozens of steps.

The murderous intent in Lu Yu’s eyes burned fiercely. As soon as his figure steadied, he rushed back and threw a punch toward the battle blade.

Qin Hai sheathed his blade, raised his arm, and exchanged a blow with Lu Yu. Both were forced backward in large steps by the impact.

Qin Hai felt as if his arm bone was about to crack; part of his own strength had actually rebounded back at him.

What an incredibly powerful body!

Qin Haidu had to admit that such a body would be truly terrifying if it were to become a king.

“Oh!”

Kun Tai roared, using the Void to slash through the Void, crossing the toxic wave to strike Lu Yu again with a sweep of his arm.

Boom, boom, boom…

Both of them unleashed their ultimate strength. In an instant, the void exploded, and numerous tiny cracks spread out like giant snakes shooting in all directions.

The light in Lu Yu’s eyes suddenly blazed. In an instant, more than ten thousand blades of killing energy shot forth from his eyes, slicing through Kun Tai’s vast net of void and piercing through Kun Tai’s body.

Ten thousand blades reduced Kun Tai to a bloody pulp.

Kun Tai’s flesh writhed and regenerated at an astonishing speed.

“Kill!”

The puppets and serpent men blocked the impact of the fissure with the King’s Sacred Armor.

Between Lu Yu’s hands, the Snake Bone Knuckles had two ethereal snake-like shadows coiling around them, while the Royal Zun Armor on his body emitted the most dazzling light ever seen.

Boom.

With four fists striking simultaneously, the snake-man was sent flying backward, his arm bones completely shattered.

The snake man’s eyes were bleeding from the shock, unable to comprehend how Lu Yu had become so strong.

The leg of the Reanimated Puppet struck Lu Yu’s temple, but it was the puppet itself that felt its leg go numb from the impact!

Facing five opponents alone, Lu Yu instantly exchanged blows with each of them, yet he remained unfazed and held his ground.

The reborn puppet monster let out a fierce roar: “Kill!”

“Get out!”

Lu Yu was even more violent; with just one punch, he sent the puppet flying.

Black aura blazed fiercely around his fist as it swept across the puppet’s chest. Suddenly, his five fingers transformed, shifting from a fist to a claw, with a cold gleam flashing at their tips. He directly tore a piece of armor from the puppet’s front. Thin strands of toxic gas seeped through the gaps in Wang Zun’s battle armor.

The puppet didn’t hesitate either; with a single hand movement, it sliced off most of its own chest. The flesh fell to the ground and instantly turned into black blood.

“It’s terrible! The power of slaughter is so immense that even the King’s Sacred Armor can be crushed,” the puppet exclaimed in horror, retreating repeatedly.

Bang!

Qin Hai’s star artifact struck Lu Yu’s celestial crown, triggering a fully awakened slaughter ability that directly clashed with the star artifact, sending shockwaves rippling in all directions.

Kun Tai and the others were so shocked that they kept retreating, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

“It’s too terrifying. He has already mastered the Killing Awakening to the utmost. Even Stellar Artifacts can’t injure him anymore.”

Everyone’s face paled; how could such an enemy be defeated!

“Mad God Shatters the Heavens!” Qin Hai roared. He put away his star artifact, joined his hands above his head, and swung downward toward Lu Yu’s crown.

“Roar!”

Dark energy surged from Lu Yu’s body, and five dragon heads burst forth from the mist of darkness.

“Again!” Lu Yu exhaled once more, his demonic aura intensifying. Ten thousand half-human, half-beast sovereigns blocked the passage completely.

Following the half-human, half-monstrous Supreme Queen, there were then ten thousand werewolves.

Now that it’s come to this, there’s no reason to hold back anymore.

Qin Hai’s strike smashed into the ground, and the shockwave destroyed most of the demonic energy that had taken form.

The remaining life rushed toward the crowd.

Lu Yu didn’t hesitate either, stepping forward in one stride and delivering a powerful blow to the chest of the Reborn Demon Puppet.

The radiant glow of Wang Zun’s battle armor rebounded, sending Lu Yu’s fist flying upward.

Lu Yu’s five fingers clenched, and the cold blade pierced through the light of Wang Zun’s battle armor.

Bang!

Poisonous gas seeped in relentlessly; a cold gleam flashed between the fingers, and the toxin surged directly into the flesh of the Rebirth Demon.

Ah.

The Reborn Mokou doll trembled all over.

“One against four!” Lu Yu kicked out, sending the Reborn Demon Puppet flying backward.

The poisoned person is as good as dead!

Boom, another demon warrior was blasted away, the force shattering his skull, poison gas devouring the flesh.

Two demons were poisoned, and even their regenerative powers could not free them from the corrosive effects of the toxin.

“One against three!”

Lu Yu roared loudly, becoming more and more frenzied as the battle progressed.

Qin Hai, the Parasitic King Zun Kai, the serpent warrior’s heart quivered with fear.

It’s just that Wang Zun and Sanmo are missing; how could things deteriorate so quickly?

Five against one, and Lu Yu still managed to kill two of them.

“Damn it, how could it end up like this!” Qin Hai said in frustration, “I refuse to believe I can’t kill you today.”

“Block his breath for me, I’m going to parasitize him.” Kun Tai was also on the verge of losing control.

He, a Royal Venerable, had actually been pushed to such a desperate situation by a mere human. How utterly humiliating!

Boom!

At the other end of the passage, atop a palace on a mountain, golden light spewed into the sky, and hundreds of golden pillars pierced straight into the heavens.

“I can’t wait any longer.” The snake man acted immediately. A hundred-meter-long, two-headed snake phantom appeared behind him. With a swing of its tail, the phantom struck, and the moment its tail moved, it vanished into the void.

Before Lu Yu could react, the snake’s tail had already reached him, piercing through his chest.

After delivering the strike, the serpent man’s gauntlets dimmed in luster, and even his eyes turned a lifeless gray.

Qin Hai also moved, but instead of using a star artifact, he spread his demonic wings. Thousands of strands of dark energy transformed into long, bony hands, reaching toward Lu Yu from all directions.

A momentary restraint.

Kun Tai transformed into an extremely thin strand of demonic energy and surged into Lu Yu’s body through the wound left by the snake’s tail.

Parasitism achieves the highest success rate when the host willingly accepts the parasite.

The more the host resists, the lower the success rate becomes, dropping as low as thirty percent.

Wang Zun’s power is formidable; even while parasitizing, he can increase the success rate.

Even if Lu Yu was unwilling, there was still a 60 percent chance of such a parasitic relationship occurring.

As soon as Kun Tai entered Lu Yu’s body, it immediately transformed into countless tiny tendrils of demonic energy, surging toward Lu Yu’s brain.

Occupying the brain, Lu Yu had no hope left.

However, just as Kun Tai entered Lu Yu’s body for a single breath, he suddenly let out a mournful cry, his voice trembling as he spoke, “Backfiring? How could it backfire?”

Kuntai realized that the tiny wisp of demonic energy he had transformed into was actually beginning to devour Lu Yu’s flesh bit by bit.

Kuntai was terrified by Lu Yu’s vigorous vitality; he seemed to be a human being born specifically for evolution.

Anything that entered Lu Yu’s body was enveloped by blood and then consumed.

Among parasites, there is a one in ten million chance of a backlash.

It was utterly impossible for someone like King Zun. Now that the backlash has begun, he doesn’t even have a chance to escape.

“Damn it, I can’t accept this, I can’t accept it. I actually died like this.”

Kun Tai let out a sorrowful cry.

He is most vulnerable yet most powerful when parasitizing, but his defense is too weak.

Qin Hai and the snake man exchanged a glance, their faces paling in shock upon hearing Kun Tai’s voice.

Even a king like Wang Zun met such a fate.

Lu Yu stood in place, his entire body trembling with unstable demonic energy.

Then Lu Yu exhaled heavily.

Boom!

His power surged instantly, multiplying a thousandfold, as a tide of demonic energy swept toward Qin Hai and the serpent man like a tsunami.

Lu Yu devoured Kun Tai, who was a King Zun.

In an instant, Lu Yu’s strength surged to six thousand.

The parasitic demon wants to devour Lu Yu to enhance its power.

However, Lu Yu’s counterattack swallowed the Parasitic Demon, absorbing its power.

“This… how can we fight this!” the snake man stammered, “Is this even human? Records never mentioned humans being this brutal.”

At this moment, on the palace at the other end of the passage, the golden beam of light became increasingly dazzling.

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to fight anymore?” Lu Yu stared coldly at Qin Hai and the snake man, saying, “If you want to get through, then fight your way through.”

“Lu Yu, do you know how many kings you’ve offended!” Qin Hai said in a cold voice. “Lie Tian has killed nine mutated star souls. His cruelty is beyond your imagination. As for the Parasite King, his parasitism is one hundred percent successful. If you encounter him, you will surely die.”

“I’ve already beheaded their king, Zun. How dare you still threaten me here?” Lu Yu’s eyes blazed with cold light as he took a fierce step forward.

The snake man and Qin Haiquan launched their attacks.

Hiss!

Lu Yu’s entire body transformed into an extremely thin stream of dark energy, which shot into the forehead of the serpent man.

“Parasite, parasite!”

The snake man was greatly alarmed and became flustered.

His flesh and blood seemed to dry up, as if losing all moisture.

Lu Yu not only devoured Kun Tai but also gained the ability of parasitism.

Qin Hai did not attack again, instead choosing to retreat immediately.

Bang!

The snake man’s entire body exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere, shattering the king’s armor and the serpent bone knuckles along with it.

In an instant, these forces transformed into a vortex, surging toward a central mass of demonic energy within the flesh and blood.

From the demonic aura, Lu Yu emerged, and the power within him surged once again.

Six thousand five hundred statues!

“Qin Hai, it’s your turn this time.” Lu Yu fixed his gaze on Qin Hai like a demon, ready to devour him as well.

“I can’t do anything to you. Do you think you can do something to me?” Qin Hai coldly snorted, putting away his star weapon. His ten-zhang tall figure stared at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, do you think I will let you parasitize and devour me like the snake people did?”

“Devouring? I never said I would devour you. You are the King, and now I possess the power of a King’s Sovereign. Since you know I am the Unkempt King, then I will challenge you with the strength of the Unkempt King. They say a King’s Sovereign cannot slay a King; today, I will find out if I can kill you!”

Lu Yu’s voice became increasingly sharp, and his fighting spirit was even more terrifying!

“Do you think you can manage without using the Star Artifact? You’re not good enough!” Qin Hai sneered coldly, “Since you can’t get through, I’ll test your limits today and see exactly how far you can go!”

Suddenly—

The scenery around him suddenly shattered.

Everyone’s feet were left with only emptiness beneath them as a glowing formation flickered underfoot, instantly enveloping all of them in a flash.

When Lu Yu, Qin Hai, and others reappeared, they were already on the mountain range within the Void.

Some parts of Lu Yu’s memory were missing.

He knew he had entered before, but couldn’t remember exactly what he had seen.

He remembered the agreement with the elder, and then—yes, he also remembered his promise to have a final showdown with Qin Hai!
