Lu Yu was moving forward intermittently. Whenever a golden wall appeared, he would stop to absorb the king’s blood crystal.
The people beneath the tower were no longer surprised.
They all frowned, watching Lu Yu climb higher and higher, filled with nothing but jealousy and resentment.
Lu Yu would stop moving for three to four days whenever he paused, and by the time he was ready to continue, the light wall ahead would definitely vanish again.
At the 4,600th step, Lu Yu paused once again, this time already absorbing his tenth King’s Blood Crystal.
Many of the mirrors below had already run out of time.
They both attempted it near the end of their existence, but unfortunately failed.
In the end, only five people remained, including Huo Wu and Zhang Ming.
The golden light wall shimmered on the step above Lu Yu.
Zhang Ming and others clenched their fists, gritting their teeth.
If it weren’t for seeing Guo Ziyang and others turn into stone statues, they would have really liked to give it a try.
This is already the tenth King’s Blood Crystal that Lu Yu has collected, which also means that the evolution of the Demon’s Body has reached its tenth and final limit.
Infinite power surged through Lu Yu’s body, and his strength had reached as high as 27 million尊.
Such a significant enhancement in strength was beyond even Lu Yu’s imagination.
He dared to say that he would never lose to any one of the four, including Zhang Ming.
Boom!
When the last trace of power from the tenth King’s Blood Crystal was completely absorbed.
His ultimate skill, Demon’s Body, has already completed its tenth evolution.
…
The tenth evolution of the Demon’s Body has been completed, transforming into the Devil King’s Form!
…
King Cheng’s skill mutation ends, and his abilities are fully enhanced!
…
Demon King Style:
Rank: King Class
Description: The Demon King’s Body evolves from the Demon’s Body. The Demon King is the master of demons and possesses the greatest power among all demons.
Abilities: Your demonic fire has evolved into dark flame. Your demon eye has evolved into a malevolent eye. Even without transforming, you now possess the mighty body of a devil king in its transformed state. You can freely use your dark flame and malevolent eye without needing to transform.
Demon Flame—this is a powerful flame possessed only by the Demon King. It inflicts severe damage on any living being. Once someone is struck by the Demon Flame, their soul will suffer grave harm. Enemies whose souls are completely consumed by the Demon Flame cannot be resurrected or reborn; they will be entirely erased from this world. If you integrate your Demon Flame into a star-forged weapon, your weapon will gain the ability to directly strike at souls.
Magic Eye—When you gaze upon an object, you can see through its attributes. When you focus on a living being, you have a considerable chance of discerning the attributes and abilities of the enemy’s most powerful skill, and acquiring its method of cultivation and application. When using the Magic Eye, you will decipher the enemy’s skills faster than the Demon’s Eye, and also completely erase the enemy’s most formidable skill more quickly.
Demon King’s Wrath — When you unleash this ultimate kingship skill, you will transform into a true demon. It will enhance and evolve your demonic flames, your demonic eyes, and any skills you use. Even the weapon you hold in your hand will be elevated to a higher level by your wrath, becoming an even more fearsome weapon.
Note: Magic Flame also deals significant damage to enemies stronger than you. Even if the King is hit, if he cannot protect his soul, he will lose combat effectiveness within a short time.
…
Lu Yu smiled and stood up, starting to climb upwards once again.
He had already stepped into the golden halo.
If you look from below, all you can see are rings of golden light.
As you step into the halo, you realize that the halo here is merely the light reflected by the pyramid into the sky.
Above the pyramid, there was a fluctuation of divine power.
And these divine powers, shining together with the golden halo, led Lu Yu to mistakenly believe that the halo itself was composed of divine energy.
Here, he no longer had any obstacles.
Lu Yu stepped onto the final few hundred steps and reached the top of the pyramid.
To Zhang Ming and others below, they could no longer see Lu Yu clearly.
At the top of the pyramid is a square platform of about 30 square meters. In the center of the platform sits a box that is approximately one foot on each side.
There was no trace of breath in the box, nor did it give off any sense of danger.
Lu Yu stepped forward and opened the box. He found that the large box was completely covered with red cloth, and in the center of the red cloth was a golden ring.
The ring was quite ordinary, made simply of gold.
Such materials are worthless in this world!
The upper part of the ring is also very smooth, with no visible patterns or decorations.
“This is the key, the treasure that the beast spoke of as being so desirable?” Lu Yu picked it up, looking at it from left to right, but still could not see how it could be considered a treasure.
This is just a ring.
“Congratulations on passing the test,” said a voice. At this moment, divine power from the platform above condensed in midair, transforming into a golden mystical beast.
This is a colossal beast, nearly a meter tall, with the body of a tiger and the head of a wolf.
The wolf’s head has four eyes, each containing two pupils, and all four eyes can simultaneously see different locations.
This wolf stood in front of Lu Yu, lowering its head to examine him closely. Its large mouth curled into a grin as it chuckled, “Human, you’re not so ordinary. No one has ever entered this place and left alive before—you’re the first.”
Lu Yu held up the golden ring and said, “Since I’ve passed the test, may I now leave?”
“Of course you can leave. And once you depart from here, all the people here will be teleported out, and this ruin will vanish. As for you—” The strange beast eyed Lu Yu menacingly, “What a pity! You possess this ring and therefore cannot be collected here as a weapon.”
“What does this mean?” Lu Yu frowned, somewhat puzzled by the meaning behind the beast’s words.
The strange beast, its four eyes emitting a cold, eerie light, said, “Human, do you truly not know what this ring represents, or are you trying to deceive me?”
Lu Yu held up the ring and said, “I really don’t understand.”
The strange beast chuckled and said, “Alright then, I’ll tell you. This golden ring cannot grant you power, nor will it bring you wealth. Its function is not only to serve as a key to leave this place, but more importantly—it grants qualification!”
“Qualifications? What qualifications?” Lu Yu became even more puzzled.
The mythical beast raised its paw and pointed at the ring, saying, “Whoever wears this ring will not be affected by the apocalypse tide. They will survive by passing through the apocalypse tide. Do you understand?”
Boom!
Lu Yu staggered on his feet.
His heart nearly shattered in an instant, blood rushing through his entire body, stimulating his brain and soul.
Lu Yu stared blankly at the mythical beast, then looked down at the ring in his hand.
Suddenly, all his lofty ambitions were about to vanish like flowing water.
Wearing it will protect you from the effects of the apocalypse tide!
Lu Yu’s mind kept repeating the same sentence over and over again.
All his efforts seemed so pale and powerless in the face of this ring.
With this ring, everything will be resolved.
He can pass through the apocalypse tide.
But how exactly should this be used?
To his mother?
Lu Yu didn’t want to watch his mother go through the apocalypse alone.
Give it to Huowu?
Is this something you can face your mother with?
Does he use it himself?
Could he really feel at ease using the ring, watching the two most important women in his life being engulfed by the apocalypse?
“What’s wrong? Are you shocked?” the beast chuckled. “Human, wasn’t all your anger and effort for this very day? Starting from today, you no longer need to struggle. Just put on this ring, and you can live in peace and enjoy life. No matter how terrible the disaster, you will never be harmed.”
“Why is it this thing?” Lu Yu, holding the ring, his hand trembling.
He felt the ring in his hand suddenly become unbearably heavy, so heavy that he didn’t even know whether he should put it down properly or not.
The strange beast chuckled, “Do you still think this item is simple now? All the treasures in this world combined wouldn’t equal this single ring, right?”
The strange beast smiled and, seeing that Lu Yu remained silent, it too fell silent.
Lu Yu gazed at the ring for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, “Send me out.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu placed the ring into his storage space. His eyes revealed a hint of reluctance, which soon turned into unwavering determination.
“You’re not going to put it on?” This time, it was the mythical beast’s turn to be surprised.
The allure of this ring is absolutely unparalleled by any star artifact or ability.
How come the man in front of her wasn’t showing the slightest bit of interest?
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Its appeal is too great. Unfortunately, it’s not something I want to use right now.”
The strange beast stared at Lu Yu, its four eyes constantly scrutinizing him. Finally, it said, “Fine, the item is yours, and what you choose to do with it has nothing to do with me. Since you’ve obtained the ring, you’ve passed the trial and may leave now.”
As he spoke, the mythical beast exhaled a beam of golden light.
Golden light fell into the void and transformed into a radiant gate.
The strange beast said, “Once you leave the ruins, run as far as you can. The item in your hand is priceless; no one has ever possessed it, nor will there ever be any official announcement about it on Earth. Therefore, many people will be driven by curiosity to covet it.”
“Thank you for the reminder,” Lu Yu nodded and stepped forward into the light.
His eyes lit up as he suddenly found himself outside the ruins.
Now the area outside the ruins of this island is already crowded with people.
Since the mirrors of Zhang Shan and others were destroyed, no one else has come out.
Everyone was waiting.
The more hopeless the situation, the greater their expectation becomes.
When Lu Yu appeared in the ruins, many people hadn’t yet realized what was happening.
But in the next second, Zhang Shan, Zheng Xiaoyan, and Li Jie reacted the fastest.
They were so furious that they wished to tear every bone from Lu Yu’s body, so they rushed at him the moment they saw him.
At this moment, Guo Ziyang and others exclaimed in alarm: “What’s going on? None of our mirrors have appeared. Could it be that they’ve all been killed?”
Wang Ming’s voice trembled as he said, “How come Uncle Luo and the others didn’t come out either? Why is it only Lu Yu who survived and came out?”
It was at this moment that the ruins began to tremble, and then with a thunderous roar, they lifted off into the sky.
The vast ruins suddenly contracted towards a single point in midair. Within a few short seconds, this debris field—large enough to be the size of an entire nation—collapsed into the void and vanished completely.
Below the ruins, five figures emerged.
As soon as Zhang Ming and others came out, without saying a word, their first move was to stand at the four corners around Lu Yu, quickly surrounding him in the center.
At this moment, seeing that Zhang Ming and the others were still alive, Guo Ziyang and his group didn’t hesitate and immediately positioned themselves behind Zhang Ming, Luo Hong, Wu Da, and the fourth person, forming an encirclement that left Lu Yu trapped inside.
Zhang Shan, Zheng Xiaoyan, and Li Jie were held down by their companions, each of them furious, as if their anger would burn Lu Yu to ashes.
At the same time, the aura of more than thirty kings was fully released, each pressing down on Lu Yu like a towering mountain.
Zhang Ming stretched out his hand and said coldly, “Lu Yu, hand over what you’ve obtained, and I’ll spare your life!”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “I think you’ve got the wrong idea. This place isn’t yours to command, and do you really think I’d give you anything for free?”
Luo Shu said, “Not giving it to you. With more than thirty kings here joining forces, do you really think you have a chance to win?”
“Haha—”
At this, everyone around burst into laughter.
