Li Jie was on the verge of a breakdown.
He had recently still been mocking in his heart that Zhang Shan’s willpower was too weak, and once captured, he had no ability to resist.
Now he finally understood that this feeling had completely robbed him of any awareness or ability to resist.
Li Jie swallowed hard and stammered, “I know a place… there’s something valuable inside. It’s at—”
Li Jie said, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Lu Yu was shocked. Suddenly, he retracted the flames and reached out with his hand to check if Li Jie was still alive.
Li Jie’s eyes suddenly flew open, emitting a piercing cold light. With both palms, he fiercely struck toward Lu Yu’s chest, shouting fiercely, “Kill!”
“Boom!”
As Lu Yu’s starlight armor shimmered into view, Li Jie’s palm strike landed entirely upon the heavy armor.
Snap.
His arm was shattered by the impact.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s hands were once again engulfed in blue flames as he sneered, “Trying this move with me? You’re too inexperienced.”
“Oh.”
Li Jie’s anguished screams pierced the heavens.
Lu Yu’s face changed expression, knowing that this sound would be enough to draw Zheng Xiaoyan’s attention as well.
Lu Yu unhesitatingly put away the Starfall Armor, and the Sky-Sundering Wings appeared behind him.
Boom.
From the sky, Wang Wei descended to suppress the situation.
Zheng Xiaoyan let out a sharp cry. In midair, she had already donned a blue battle suit, and her palm strikes transformed into a vast, ocean-like force of blue energy, surging toward Lu Yu.
The Sky-Sundering Wings behind Lu Yu had already begun to vibrate, and it seemed as though he was about to soar into the heavens.
A blue phantom appeared on Zheng Xiaoyan’s body and struck Lu Yu’s back as quickly as lightning.
Bang.
Lu Yu’s flight was interrupted as he was smashed into the ground.
Innumerable smoke and dust spewed up, forming a mushroom cloud.
Li Jie exerted all his strength amidst the smoke and dust, shouting, “Xiao Yan, don’t let the flames on him burn you.”
Zheng Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t think you can escape amidst the smoke and dust.”
Zheng Xiaoyan spread her arms wide, her body emanating streaks of blue illusions that filled the void, all rushing toward Lu Yu amidst the smoke and dust.
Roar.
A dragon’s roar erupted amidst the smoke and dust.
One by one, black dragons soared into the sky, rushing towards the blue phantom.
Each dragon was spewing a river of stars across the sky.
Zheng Xiaoyan was slightly startled, sensing that this aura felt similar to that of a star artifact, yet it was more powerful than an ordinary one.
However, it was obvious that not many were activated, and the energy released was barely noticeable.
Boom, boom, boom…
The blue phantom shattered the Milky Way and charged toward the dragon.
The dark dragon and the phantom collided, sending shockwaves that blasted them flying in all directions.
Zheng Xiaoyan’s cold voice echoed through the air: “Lu Yu, you’re too afraid to fight me head-on because you simply don’t have the strength. As long as I’m cautious, do you really think you can escape?”
The phantom shot straight into the dust cloud.
It was as if countless tiny meteorites were exploding onto the earth’s surface, each impact sending shockwaves through the ground, causing the earth to tremble and mountains to shake.
The smoke and dust grew thicker.
Lu Yu flew backward.
He still had a firm grip on Li Jie.
“Let go of me,” Zheng Xiaoyan said with a sharp tone. “If you’re going to fight me, how dare you not use your full strength.”
A blue phantom inside Zheng Xiaoyan lunged toward Lu Yu like lightning.
Lu Yu stepped back quickly, but the phantom was even faster.
The phantom arrived at a point less than a hundred zhang in front of Lu Yu, but suddenly became blurred.
Then—
Zheng Xiaoyan appeared a hundred zhang in front of Lu Yu, while the phantom arrived at the spot where Zheng Xiaoyan had originally stood.
“Switching positions?” Lu Yu was taken aback.
Boom.
Countless phantom shadows burst forth from Zheng Xiaoyan’s body, rushing toward Lu Yu from all directions and quickly enveloping him.
Then Zheng Xiaoyan disappeared.
Before Lu Yu could turn around, Zheng Xiaoyan’s attack had already appeared from behind.
The king’s attack, this is a force comparable to the falling of stars.
Although Lu Yu’s body possesses the defense of a star artifact, it doesn’t mean he can stand against the power of a King.
Bang.
Lu Yu was sent flying backward with a single palm strike.
Zheng Xiaoyan’s arm went numb. She couldn’t figure out how Lu Yu could have such an abnormal level of defense.
“No wonder you dared to enter the ruins alone and even demanded a five billion reward, because you do have a little ability after all.”
Zheng Xiaoyan giggled and said, “I want your abilities.”
As she spoke, Zheng Xiaoyan licked her lips, revealing teeth like those of a wild beast, filling her mouth.
“Your abilities are quite good too; I’ll take you as well.”
Lu Yu smiled, with flickering blue light in his eyes.
The Demon’s Eye has been activated. This is the power Lu Yu unleashed against a King.
“Initiating the scan of the enemy’s strongest ability. Please ensure the enemy does not die before the scan completes!”
A voice was urging Lu Yu in his ear.
…
When you gaze upon an object, you can perceive its attributes. When you look upon a living being, you have a significant chance of discerning the attributes and capabilities of the enemy’s most powerful skill, and obtain the methods to cultivate and utilize it. Once the mutation of your demonic body is complete, your demonic eye will be able to completely erase the enemy’s most powerful skill during battle.
…
This is the power of the Demon’s Eye.
Lu Yu laughed heartily. As long as the read was successful, he would gain another powerful ability.
Zheng Xiaoyan felt that something was off, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint the problem.
She could tell that her own strength was suppressing the other person.
As long as there is time, I’m sure I can defeat the opponent.
“Boom.”
Zheng Xiaoyan activated her king-making skill and kept launching attacks at Lu Yu relentlessly.
Lu Yu kept retreating, his hand gripping tightly onto Li Jie’s head without letting go.
Li Jie’s screams had grown weaker and weaker; his entire body could only tremble, and even his breathing had become faint.
Zheng Xiaoyan dared not approach Lu Yu, fearing that she might be burned by the flames Li Jie had warned about.
She could only watch helplessly as Li Jie’s breath grew weaker and weaker, until it became barely perceptible.
She unleashed all her fury upon Lu Yu, launching a barrage of attacks as dense as rain, striking Lu Yu relentlessly without giving him a chance to evade.
The Li Jie in Lu Yu’s hands had completely lost all signs of life. The corpse transformed into a rain of light and entered Lu Yu’s body.
He remained expressionless, still putting up a feeble resistance as if he were powerless to fight back.
“Lu Yu, I don’t believe your bones are as tough as a turtle’s shell. I’m determined to beat you into a pile of烂泥.”
Zheng Xiaoyan shouted fiercely and attacked with ferocity, completely unlike a woman.
The royal blood crystal within Lu Yu continuously accelerated its absorption as he endured the attacks.
This is a free assistant that can even steal the opponent’s abilities. How could Lu Yu possibly let such an opportunity go to waste?
After defeating Li Jie, his attributes have already risen to eleven million zuns. If he absorbs more crystal stones, his power could reach thirteen million zuns.
With this kind of power, combined with the activation of the star artifact, it should be enough to suppress Zheng Xiaoyan.
Zheng Xiaoyan hit faster and faster, becoming more and more frenzied.
She is a queen, after such a long time, she couldn’t even deal with an ordinary person. If this gets out, where would she have face to show?
The fourth royal blood crystal inside Lu Yu’s body has been completely absorbed.
The power has reached thirteen million zuns.
But the skill reading wasn’t finished yet; he was waiting.
Zheng Xiaoyan’s attack speed and strength had already been pushed to their limits.
She still couldn’t break through Lu Yu’s defense, and at this moment, she felt somewhat alarmed.
The attacks from Mirage, combined with her constant shifting and teleportation, were even giving Master Luo a headache.
Zheng Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and launched an attack, unwilling to retreat so easily.
The city lord said that there is no absolutely invincible defense in this world; every ability has a limit.
Therefore, Zheng Xiaoyan did not ease up but instead intensified her attack.
Millions of illusory figures filled the sky, ceaselessly attacking Lu Yu.
Zheng Xiaoyan sneered and said, “Even if your defense works against kings, I don’t believe your defense is invincible.”
She laughed, but her laughter suddenly faltered as the mirage in the sky vanished.
What’s going on here?
Zheng Xiaoyan was shocked. She quickly activated her skill, only to scream in alarm, “My King-Making Skill, why is my King-Making Skill gone?”
“Haha,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “From now on, our real battle begins. Miss Zheng, you’ve already lost.”
Lu Yu was very happy. He had successfully stolen it.
Moreover, the third ability of Zheng Xiaoyan’s King Skill should be eliminated.
…
Morphing—
Rank: King.
Ability: Shapeshifting can create numerous illusions that are immune to any harm, filling the void. The user can move between these constant transformations without any restriction from space, barriers, or any other obstacles.
…
Lu Yu only received the third ability.
The transformation doesn’t have any offensive capability; it simply makes one impervious to harm.
Lu Yu speculated that this ability needed to be combined with the first two abilities of the King’s Skill in order to both attack and shift forms.
However, for him, this was enough.
Zheng Xiaoyan went crazy. How could her King-Making skill just disappear like this?
“Roar.”
At this moment, the Dragon of Darkness appeared again.
“Lu Yu, what have you done to me?” Zheng Xiaoyan demanded angrily.
She struck out with her palms, each blow exerting her full strength.
One by one, the dragon kings were shaken and sent flying backward.
When it comes to power, even the Dragon King is no match for a king like Xiao Yan.
“If you really want to know, go ask the gods in hell.” Lu Yu took action.
The breath of thirteen million beings rotated within Lu Yu’s body.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
One by one, the dragon kings also began to gather their full strength as Lu Yu summoned his power.
Boom!
Lu Yu made his move, and over a hundred Dark Dragons joined in as well.
Lu Yu is a stellar artifact, and the Dragon is also a stellar artifact.
At this moment, they had absorbed the power of the crystal sword, a star artifact. Upon activation, the full capabilities of a king among star artifacts were unleashed.
Each Dark Dragon spewed a river of stars a thousand zhang long.
The mighty regal aura within the starry river made Zheng Xiaoyan feel as if her blood were about to freeze from fear.
She watched as the Milky Way split from one into a hundred in the sky, each one embodying a different power.
No.
It is a fragmented Milky Way, where each stream equates to an attack from a king’s ascension skill.
In an instant, more than a hundred dragon-like creatures, in coordination with Lu Yu’s attack, unleashed the second ability of their royal skills—an overwhelming force equivalent to ten thousand kings—towards Zheng Xiaoyan like a volcanic eruption.
Zheng Xiaoyan screamed, “That’s impossible!”
The attacks of ten thousand royal skills, even if Lu Yu and the Black Dragon were still unable to fully unleash the power of these royal skills.
However, when more than ten thousand attacks fell together, it had already surpassed the power of a king.
The overwhelming might of Wang Wei pressed down like a vast, suffocating force, making the very air feel frozen in place.
Zheng Xiaoyan had no time to dodge and could only use the blue armor on her body to block the attack.
Boom.
More than ten thousand attacks fell, with half of them landing on Zheng Xiaoyan.
Zheng Xiaoyan’s armor shattered, and she was flung thousands of meters through the air. She crashed onto the ground and rolled backward for a long distance before finally getting back to her feet.
Her face paled as if she had seen a ghost.
“Boom!”
Tens of thousands of attacks rained down from the sky, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing. The surrounding void was crumbling away.
Zheng Xiaoyan got up and ran away.
