The old man spoke, saying that destruction had already been understood completely.
Lu Yu was first overwhelmed with shock, and then quickly sensed that the old man was still hiding something—a secret that could absolutely terrify him.
An ability capable of destroying even a king was misunderstood.
What about the real destruction?
“Senior, what do you mean by that?” Lu Yu’s palms were sweating, and his heart was pounding violently.
If the destruction was truly misunderstood, could it be that the elder has grasped the true essence of destruction!
The true essence of Wang Zun’s ultimate power should be priceless.
Why did the old man say that?
“The Destroyer was not originally created for mutual annihilation,” the old man chuckled. “It’s just that over time, its purpose became misunderstood. In fact, its original function was to kill enemies, not to commit suicide!”
Lu Yu frowned and asked, “Senior, why are you telling me all this? What do you want in return?”
This secret involves Wang Zun; do you think it’s something that can be casually told to others?
“It’s rare to meet a human I truly appreciate, so forget about the exchange. Since you’ve gained quite a bit this time, consider it me teaching you a lesson,” the old man chuckled. “I just want to see how you’ll perform during this upcoming catastrophe!”
Lu Yu was deeply moved, clasped his fists toward the elder, and bowed profoundly, saying, “Thank you, senior. However, this gift is truly too great!”
“Not big, not big. This time, just consider it my pleasure,” the old man said, waving his hand and chuckling. “Rare, rare indeed. But—”
The old man’s expression turned solemn as he said, “It’s better that you know, but don’t spread this to others.”
Lu Yu asked in confusion, “Where are my warriors? If someone becomes a King Zun, will I be able to teach them?”
The old man thought for a moment and said, “That can be done, but you must promise not to disclose it to anyone from other organizations!”
“Don’t worry, Senior. I understand that much,” Lu Yu nodded. “The fewer people who know about such a powerful ability, the more terrifying its impact will be!”
The old man nodded and said, “That’s right. There are some things that few people know. You have several ‘Kings Without Crowns’ under your command; as long as they can grow into King Sovereigns, the true meaning will be extremely important to them.”
Lu Yu nodded solemnly and said, “You’re absolutely right, Senior. I was thinking the same thing. In fact, I also want to pass these on to them.”
The old man coughed once and then spoke solemnly, “Lu Yu, listen carefully—true destruction isn’t about mutual annihilation. It lies in transforming your life force into destructive power, from the armor down to the very destruction of your body’s regenerative abilities.”
“This—” Lu Yu inhaled deeply. In a flash of thought, a possibility struck him, and he exclaimed in astonishment, “Senior’s meaning is that destruction can suppress even the regenerative power of rebirth, and can also destroy the armor’s ability to repair itself?”
Lu Yu was deeply moved and felt a sense of dread.
Mutual destruction should indeed be a last resort when there are no other options. As a final move, its true power lies not in its use, but in the terrifying deterrent effect it creates.
The old man continued, “I have to say, the true nature of Destruction has changed; its power is now incredibly terrifying. To instantly convert one’s entire life force into destructive energy, such a technique could even kill a King in a life-or-death battle. However, it should only be used when one is truly determined to perish together with the enemy. This form of Destruction can be preserved, but it offers only one chance—you must resort to it only when absolutely necessary. However—”
As he spoke, the old man raised his hand, a thread of white light coiling around his fist. Then he thrust his fist forward, striking a large tree not far away with a powerful punch.
The old man barely exerted any strength with this punch; the fist merely grazed the tree bark lightly.
Bang!
In an instant, the tree bark exploded, and the branches, leaves, and trunk turned to ashes in a moment.
“Even a king’s regenerative abilities would be limited by such power. The life force, upon being injected into the enemy’s body, transforms instantly; its destructive power suppresses the recovery and regenerative capacity of the impacted area. If the enemy’s suppression force isn’t strong enough, the destructive power will rapidly spread throughout the entire body, capable of killing a person in an instant…”
The elder explained while continuously demonstrating.
Lu Yu carefully memorized every word the old man said.
He had experienced destruction and was no stranger to this transformation.
Once he understands something, his learning ability is extremely fast.
The ability of the Dual Kings’ talent is nothing to joke about.
Two days later, Lu Yu nodded in agreement that it was about ready.
Lu Yu said, “It can’t unleash its full destructive power, but the ability to convert life force into destructive power has reached one-tenth of its capacity.”
The old man nodded in approval and said, “The talent of the ‘Unofficial King’ is truly no joke—it’s amazing how quickly you’ve grasped it. In just two days, you’ve already managed to transform one-tenth of it. With your abilities, there shouldn’t be any problem mastering it within ten years.”
Lu Yu said seriously, “Ten years is too long. Within one year, at most one year, I will definitely achieve one hundred percent transformation power.”
“Two years!” the elder exclaimed, visibly moved. “Young man, your ambition is too great. Unless you do nothing but fight and cultivate continuously throughout the entire year, without even taking a break, how do you expect to achieve it?”
Lu Yu said solemnly, “Senior, I must accomplish this! If the Great Purge really comes, I need at least the ability to protect myself.”
“Hmm, that’s right,” said the old man. “What you said makes sense. It’s good for young people to put some pressure on themselves.”
“Senior, I wonder if you’ve ever experienced the destructive attack from Wang Zun?” Lu Yu suddenly asked.
“This one doesn’t have it. Is there any difference?” The old man was slightly taken aback and asked Lu Yu.
“The battle between Wang Zuns, the power that shatters the void is ineffective. And destruction—” Lu Yu roughly explained some of the situations he encountered during the fight against the two Wang Zuns.
The old man pondered for a moment, then solemnly said, “In that case, destruction can be prevented. The required item is probably something that draws out the life force that has entered the body. With time, the destruction can be restrained. It seems I need to prepare some things. Little one, you return to Fanggang first. I’ll come find you in a few days. When the time comes, we’ll split whatever we obtain.”
“Okay,” Lu Yu nodded, parting ways with the old man right there.
…
The Fanggang is very quiet.
That battle over a year ago really scared quite a few factions.
Lu Yu did not notice anything unusual in this city, nor did he sense pressure from the various demon clans.
The four kings joining forces still failed to stop Lu Yu; if such news spread, it would be too humiliating for them.
However, forces such as the Celestial Deity Organization have sent people here to inquire whether Lu Yu has returned.
Lu Yu has returned, and the defense mechanism of the First Domain has also been activated.
Fanggang City has once again begun to regain its former prosperity.
Lu Yu entered the core area and took out the blue crystal in his room.
A droplet of blue water gently rotated within, emitting faint ripples of soul power, proving that this was indeed the Star Soul.
Lu Yu examined it carefully, searching through all his memories, trying to find information about this crystal.
However, he searched through his mind thoroughly, and even felt as if his head would explode, but still could not find any useful information.
“What exactly is this?” Lu Yu frowned, holding the crystal and beginning to examine it.
He kept shaking the crystal, carefully observing the vibrations of the blue water inside.
“No matter how it shakes, that central point never moves; it’s fixed,” Lu Yu murmured to himself, gazing at that spot in the center of the blue water.
He discovered an extremely fine crack, almost imperceptible to the eye.
Lu Yu’s expression shifted slightly, and a flicker of red light gleamed in his eyes.
He was enchanted.
The demonization enhanced his various skills and made his body more agile.
“It’s different now,” Lu Yu said with great joy.
The blue water within the crystal appears slightly magnified.
He noticed that there were several more layers of slender patterns within it.
Lu Yu hurriedly rummaged through a cabinet in the room and pulled out a high-powered magnifying glass, placing the crystal under it.
“Haha, so that’s it. This is actually a whirlpool,” Lu Yu realized clearly.
This is a slender vortex, and those outer patterns are merely delicate ripples spreading outward from the vortex.
Under a high-powered magnifying glass, the center of this vortex emits streams of extremely tiny blue tendrils of energy, which eventually merge into the blue water.
“Is this the true form of the Star Soul?” Lu Yu was somewhat astonished, seeing the form of the Star Soul for the first time and feeling particularly excited.
“But it still doesn’t seem right,” Lu Yu said seriously. “This isn’t the energy fluctuation of an ordinary Star Soul, nor is it from a mutated Star Soul. Exactly what kind of Star Soul is this?”
If this is truly a Star Soul, then it is one that Lu Yu has never seen before.
Lu Yu allowed his star soul to emit its waves, attempting to resonate with the crystal, but the crystal showed no response.
Lu Yu released his soul power once again.
This time, instead of causing ripples, he was attempting to inject his soul energy into the crystal.
Vroom!
The crystal vibrated slightly, the vortex beneath the magnifying glass spun faster, and more energy erupted from the crystal.
Especially surprising to Lu Yu was that threads of star soul energy emerged from the crystal’s surface, converging into a small, circular vortex hovering above the crystal.
“What is this!”
Lu Yu was startled, and as he withdrew his soul power, the small vortex vanished.
Lu Yu infused his soul energy once again, and the small vortex formed anew.
He suddenly sensed something and couldn’t help but gasp in shock, staring blankly at the crystal in front of him, finding it even difficult to breathe.
This is not a Star Soul, absolutely not a Star Soul.
If this item were to be taken out, it would be more than enough to drive the world into destruction through madness.
“It… it shouldn’t exist. That’s why he was destroyed.” Lu Yu’s hands trembled as he gripped the crystal, his palm sweating so much that droplets of sweat fell from the crystal onto the ground.
This item must have never appeared before; even a king like Qin Hai could not have imagined or seen it.
“It simply never appeared, never showed up at all.”
Lu Yu muttered to himself and immediately entered the Treasure Vault Pearl.
In one year’s time, over six hundred people have become friends.
This place forms a world of its own, where no kind of sparring or battle can be detected from the outside.
The three teenagers continued to scream in pain every day, their bodies trembling violently from the agony.
However, the three young men had resolute expressions and no longer appeared youthful and naive.
“The leader has arrived.”
Someone spotted Lu Yu at first sight and let out a strange cry.
“Finally arrived.”
“Chief, how has the outside world been over the past year or so?”
“Is there any more fighting left? I still feel unsatisfied from the last battle.”
“Chief, maybe we should stop hiding in Fanggang. With our strength, we could take over half of China and no one would be able to stop us.”
More than six hundred people, each and every one of them, looked excited and thrilled.
People immediately gathered around Lu Yu.
Lu Yu swept his gaze over the crowd. Their cultivation had progressed at an astonishing rate here; almost all of their Star Souls had undergone mutations.
Yang Lie rubbed his hands together and said, “What good stuff have you brought in this time!”
“How are you feeling?” asked Lu Yu.
“Correct, the Kill Strain has probably already evolved by about 37 percent. The newcomers have also started evolving one after another.”
Lu Yu nodded, clearly satisfied.
During this period, besides staying in the Star Sea, he would come in whenever he had time to evolve everyone’s Star Souls into Killing Star Souls.
Over six hundred people are now Star Souls of Slaughter.
It’s just that the time taken to obtain the Killing Star Soul varies, as does the time required for evolution.
“Lu Haotian already has the strength of ten thousand zuns,” said Fang Hua from the side.
“What?” Lu Yu was greatly startled.
This is somewhat astonishing.
Could it be that Luo Haotian has already attained the power of ten thousand zuns?
His promotion speed has been enhanced to such an extent by the Treasure Vault Pearl?
“His bones are mutating again, gradually transforming into a more unique type,” Fenghuang Wu said. “If my guess is correct, the higher one’s talent, the faster they evolve here, and the quicker their enhancement will be.”
Luo Haotian stood aside, gazing at Lu Yu calmly and said, “He doesn’t want to become a King Zun, but rather a King himself!”
When his words were spoken, all eyes turned to Lu Yu.
All the surrounding sounds suddenly vanished, leaving only the sound of my heartbeat.
The Lu Yu they see is the one who truly deserves to be king!
Luo Haotian is merely one of Lu Yu’s subordinates. If he were to become king, what would happen to Lu Yu?
Luo Haotian didn’t hide anything but straightforwardly told Lu Yu, waiting for Lu Yu’s decision.
