Chapter 681: You’re Too Slow

Wang Zun took action.

This is not the Wang Zun who has yet to regain his peak strength; this is the true power of Wang Zun.

Unparalleled!

It was just one strike, and Lu Yu was severely injured, falling to the ground.

People at the edge of the battlefield could all feel the intense gust of wind generated when King Zun unleashed his power.

They became excited, their eyes widening in anticipation of a more intense battle.

No matter how strong Lu Yu was in the past or how many undefeated records he had.

This is the real moment of testing.

“Lu Yu, I’m right here. How dare you count down the seconds?” Wang Zun felt humiliated and took a step forward from the void.

Boom.

At the foot of Wang Zun, a crack as thick as dozens of zhang rushed downward toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu pushed off the ground with both arms and swiftly shifted his body sideways. The ground where he had originally stood was pierced, leaving a massive crater dozens of zhang wide and over a hundred zhang deep.

Just as Lu Yu opened his mouth to count down again, a pressure like a tsunami fell upon his back, slamming heavily against him.

Bang.

Lu Yu’s body was shattered by the impact, and the immense force exploded his body into a rain of blood.

Wang Zun’s aura was astonishing, as if a mountain had suddenly appeared behind Lu Yu.

Hiss.

Every drop of Lu Yu’s blood turned pitch black mid-air, forming a rain of darkness that covered dozens of zhang. The eerie and grotesquely beautiful sight was terrifying to behold.

“Lu Yu, don’t you understand the gap between you and me now?” Wang Zun said coldly, walking through the black blood rain. Innumerable fine cracks intertwined across his body, forming a vast net that kept the dark rain at bay.

Black raindrops splattered onto the web, and even the cracks began to emit black smoke.

Wang Zun was greatly startled as a faint, thin wisp of black smoke crossed the crack and landed on his nose.

“Oh!”

Wang Zun frantically retreated, his face contorted like a beast as he tore off half of his own face and threw it to the ground.

Half of his facial bone was exposed, with fresh blood dripping onto his collar. The sight of the white, protruding bone and vivid blood sent a chilling sensation through the crowd, as if a vengeful ghost had returned to life.

The half of the face that hit the ground instantly turned into a puddle of black water.

Wang Zun’s action left Sangji and the others completely stunned, and rendered the surrounding area deathly silent.

Everyone in the world knows that Lu Yu’s poison is incurable and terrifying.

But was it really so terrifying that even Wang Zun could not withstand it?

On the plains behind the battlefield, more than five hundred people had already gathered. When he saw this scene, he couldn’t help but feel astonished.

The numerous warriors behind Sangji were even more horrified.

They knew exactly how powerful Wang Zun was. Wang Zun could kill them instantly with just one finger.

Even if they combined all their strength into a single strike, they still had no ability to break through the King’s defense.

Now, just one drop of poisonous blood from Lu Yu was enough to make King Zun act in such a way.

If this poison were to fall upon them, would they stand a chance?

Many of the warriors around Sangji couldn’t help but step back, showing signs of concern and fear.

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, “He actually has the ability to challenge Wang Zun!”

Agu was unconvinced and said, “Hmph, it’s just because of poison! Without poison, could you really manage that?”

“Five seconds!”

Lu Yu’s voice rumbled through the black rain, and the raindrops across the sky began converging toward the center.

Lu Yu walked out.

He emerged unscathed.

“Lu Yu, you’re too arrogant,” Wang Zun coldly snorted. “Your half-star-forged body couldn’t even withstand a single strike from me. Are you guys, the Unrivaled Kings, just all talk? You claimed to be capable of fighting against a king, but is this all the strength you have?”

Wang Zun showed great disdain.

Not every era has an uncrowned king, and many so-called uncrowned kings cannot even grow up to become one.

“Four seconds.” Lu Yu asked coldly, “Weak? Not long ago, dozens of crownless kings blocked all of you. Was that weak?”

Wang Zun’s face immediately turned icy cold as he said, “Back then, even though you all ganged up on me, I still suppressed you. What strength do you have to boast about? Isn’t the ‘King Without a Crown’ just a joke?”

“Three seconds,” Lu Yu continued counting down. “Now let me tell you how powerful the King of the Undisputed truly is!”

Wang Zun burst into疯狂 laughter and said, “Lu Yu, you’re too naive. If it weren’t for those poisons of yours, do you think you’d dare to challenge me in a fight with your own strength?”

Wang Zun’s voice was loud and aggressive.

He疯狂ly boosted his momentum, attempting to suppress Lu Yu’s fighting spirit.

“What’s there to be afraid of!” Lu Yu stepped forward without hesitation and said, “Two seconds!”

Two surges of fighting spirit collided in the void, neither side yielding, both equally strong.

The warriors behind Sangji were even more astonished. Except for the three Kings, the wills of tens of thousands of Supreme Beings wavered.

At this point, Lu Yu was still counting down.

How confident was he, really, to kill someone under Wang Zun’s attack?

Especially when facing Wang Zun’s challenge, he dared to accept it without hesitation. Didn’t he see the gap between them?

It was because of the poison that Lu Yu made Wang Zun wary.

Now Lu Yu actually said that he won’t even use poison anymore.

Wang Zun was indeed taken aback.

Lu Yu is being too arrogant.

Without using poison, it’s like cutting off one arm of Lu Yu. What else does he have left?

Lu Yu snorted coldly, saying, “Trying to suppress me this way? What other tricks do you, this King Zun, have left? Fine, no poison—no problem. I can still take you down.”

Wang Zun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly said, “Lu Yu, you’ve truly become outrageously arrogant. You actually dare to accept such a challenge—aren’t you afraid of death?”

“One second.” Lu Yu did not respond; the countdown had reached its final moment.

In an instant, Lu Yu’s expression turned icy cold.

“Are you up to it?”

Wang Zun’s eyes blazed with ferocious light as his giant hand clenched the empty air.

Thousands of rifts shot out between his five fingers, instantly transforming the empty space hundreds of feet wide into a cage that surged toward Lu Yu like a trap.

Lu Yu stared at the cracks and coldly uttered a single word: “Zero!”

Boom!

Behind Lu Yu, the Heaven-Sundering Wings stirred up a fierce gale.

He moved, faster than light, leaving no afterimage behind.

The cage closed tightly, transforming vast emptiness into a black hole that quickly contracted.

The giant black hole, hundreds of zhang in diameter, shrank in an instant to the size of a grain of rice and disappeared in a flash.

The battlefield was surrounded by silence.

This is Wang Zun’s unique ability. Once swallowed by that black hole, it does not necessarily mean the end.

However, that black hole will drain a significant amount of your vitality, and may even cause a decline in your abilities.

Even a warrior with the strength of ten thousand beings, capable of infinite regeneration, would be sucked into a black hole.

By the fourth time he emerged, he had already been reduced to ordinary human abilities.

In other words, being trapped inside a black hole for the fifth time means it’s the end for even a supreme being with the might of a Ten Thousand Sovereign.

However, Wang Zun seemed to know that this strike had missed, and quickly turned around to fiercely counterattack from behind.

No matter how fast Lu Yu ran, he couldn’t escape his eyes.

Lu Yu really did run away and hide behind him.

Wang Zun’s attack missed again.

“Not from behind,” Wang Zun said, slightly startled, unable to believe that Lu Yu had managed to evade his attack.

“Is that you, Wang Zun? Aren’t you here to stop me from killing someone?” Lu Yu’s voice came from the side of Wang Zun.

He clutched a soldier’s neck in each hand, hovering in midair like a pair of young chicks.

The two soldiers turned pale, completely drained of strength as Lu Yu’s hand gripped their necks, leaving them unable to even struggle.

When Wang Zun saw the two people in Lu Yu’s hands, his face immediately turned dark and terrifying.

Not long ago, he had just claimed that no one could kill Lu Yu right in front of him. Now, Lu Yu has already taken two lives, which was a slap to his face.

Wang Zun’s voice turned cold as he said, “Lu Yu, let her go.”

“Do you think you can just let go whenever you want? Do you even know who you are?” Lu Yu tightened his hands, and flames transformed into two fire snakes along his arms. They slithered through the ears of the two warriors, entering their bodies.

Wang Zun was furious and sternly shouted, “How dare you!”

Boom!

He transformed into a fierce gust of wind, vanishing before everyone’s eyes, and in the next moment, he reappeared directly in front of Lu Yu.

Bang.

Wang Zun’s fist moved as fast as a meteor, striking Lu Yu’s chest with a cataclysmic force that seemed capable of shattering the heavens and splitting the earth.

This power is sufficient to reduce Lu Yu to dust with a single punch.

“That’s not right.”

When Wang Zun’s punch landed on Lu Yu, it failed to shatter him; instead, it sent Lu Yu flying backward through the air for dozens of zhang.

“Oh!”

The two warriors in Lu Yu’s hands were already frantically twisting their bodies and screaming in agony.

Every pore on their bodies was spewing flames outward.

Within a few short seconds, flames had engulfed the warrior’s entire body.

In the span of a breath, the two warriors had already been turned to ashes.

“Lu Yu, you’re asking for death!” Wang Zun was furious when he saw Lu Yu actually killing someone right in front of him; it was an insult to him.

He became even faster.

Lu Yu also sprang into action, and his speed was even faster.

Two beams of light flashed in the sky.

Wang Zun’s attack missed.

Lu Yu immediately moved to the warrior behind Sangji.

He stretched out his large hand, and several fire dragons surged from his palm, instantly entwining dozens of people within their fiery coils.

Lu Yu said coldly, “I said, if you don’t run away within ten seconds, then none of you will be leaving at all.”

Within the flames, dozens of people struggled, their bodies turning to ashes in the fire.

Wang Zun arrived behind Lu Yu and mercilessly threw a punch.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s body was struck so hard that he flew into the air, yet not a single wound appeared on his body.

“Complete Carnage Awakening!” Wang Zun’s second punch still failed to land, and he immediately realized the situation, his expression turning even colder.

This is the defense capability hailed as invincible, the ultimate power of the Nine Star Souls.

To exchange physical pain for physical invincibility.

Whether it be poison, fire, blades, or any other form of attack, none can penetrate the defense of a fully awakened state of slaughter.

Lu Yu stood firm in the distance, laughing loudly, and said, “Lord Wangzun, I still have thousands left to kill. Let’s see if you can stop me.”

“So far.” Wang Zun gritted his teeth and coldly said, “Do you really think you still have the ability to kill another person?”

“No, I’m going to kill them all.” Lu Yu’s figure blurred as he moved.

Buzz!

Wang Zun was even faster, already standing in front of Lu Yu.

“Kneel down!” Wang Zun’s palm pressed down on Lu Yu’s crown of the head.

“Too slow.” Lu Yu instantly vanished from in front of Wang Zun and reappeared beside Sang Ji.

Shang Ji was greatly alarmed and, with a quick movement, slashed a sword at Lu Yu.

“You’re not qualified to use weapons against me.” Lu Yu raised his fist and struck down at the sword blade.

Bang.

The sword blade shattered into countless pieces beneath Lu Yu’s palm.

Bang!

Lu Yu’s next palm strike sent Sang Ji flying.

Without becoming a King Venerable, even if Sang Ji is ever so powerful, he remains merely a Venerable of Ten Thousand.

Before the King Without a Crown, none could stand except the King and the King’s Vessel.

“A powerful body, but it’s a waste on you,” Lu Yu said in surprise, realizing that his palm strike hadn’t killed Sang Ji after all.

“Kill him.” Sangji got up in the distance, pointed at his men, waved his hand fiercely, and shouted, “What are you still looking at?”

“With only ten thousand zuns of power, you still dare to fight me?” Lu Yu didn’t hold back either, and with a single palm strike, he crushed the two warriors beside him into bloodied pulp.

The flesh and blood on the ground were still writhing and not yet fully formed when Lu Yu had already swept forth flames, devouring the bloody mud.

Boom.

Wang Zun’s power pressed down upon Lu Yu’s head.

“I’ve told you that you’re too slow,” Lu Yu said coldly, snorting slightly. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from his original spot.
