Chapter 891: Waiting for the Present

Lu Yu was surrounded by thousands of people above the blood sea, yet remained fearless.

His words were very arrogant, almost like a provocation.

As soon as he finished speaking, it immediately provoked widespread dissatisfaction and ignited everyone’s anger.

Someone immediately voiced their dissatisfaction loudly: “By what right?”

“Not because of anything else, just because you simply don’t have the ability to kill me.”

Lu Yu suddenly turned his gaze toward this person, sneering, “You have thousands of Kings, and even ten City Lords, yet after fighting until now, you still can’t kill just me? Haha, isn’t that proof enough of your incompetence?”

Vroom!

The person felt as if the air around him suddenly twisted in an instant.

His cheeks stung painfully, and his entire body emitted a “sizzling” sound. In an instant, countless tiny wounds covered his body.

These wounds cannot truly harm the king.

But it’s still quite frightening when it appears on a king.

The kings roared together, glaring at Lu Yu with fury, but no one launched an attack.

They still haven’t figured out what is attacking them?

Blood—pouring down like rain.

All the kings within Lu Yu’s ten-thousand-foot range were covered in countless wounds.

Even King Yama and others could not be spared, and no one was attacking.

This is the power of Lu Yu’s Star Soul, and also his last remaining ultimate move!

Murderous Bloodlust – When fully awakened, a vast space spanning ten thousand feet in all directions around you will be filled with an extremely sharp murderous intent. Any living being that steps into this space will suffer damage equivalent to that of the Murderous Blade.

This does not require magical energy; it is Lu Yu’s fundamental power that is driving the force.

All the kings noticed that the space around Lu Yu was very strange. Because the light there was distorted.

“What on earth is going on here?” Wang Da exclaimed in astonishment, feeling as though invisible blades were filling this space.

“I feel as if there are countless blades inside, so why can’t I see them?”

The kings retreated more than a thousand feet, uncertain of Lu Yu’s ability, and dared not move recklessly.

Someone took a dead King-level beast from a storage pearl and threw it toward Lu Yu.

As soon as the beast was thrown out, it had just entered the thousand-zhang radius around Lu Yu when, in the span of a breath, it was seen turning into a pool of blood.

“Hiss!”

Many people inhaled sharply in alarm.

If one were to slow down what had just happened in their eyes, it would reveal the beast’s corpse being dismembered in an instant by countless sharp blades.

Moreover, each of these blades they saw cut so deeply that the bone was exposed, severing the bones with every strike.

Luo Chen frowned, suddenly thrusting his hand into the void. When he pulled it back out, his hand now held the corpse of a king-level beast.

He threw the corpse over.

Everyone could see more clearly now.

King-level beasts were even more powerful. They saw the beast’s body instantly covered in tiny sword marks.

The beast’s fur was slashed and pulverized by a crisscrossing network of tiny cracks.

The flesh and blood on the beast’s corpse continued to twist and churn, transforming into a rain of blood.

Within less than two minutes, not even a single bone fragment of the King-ranked beast remained; its entire body had fallen into the blood ocean.

Luo Chen’s expression turned serious.

The expressions of the kings were also very unnatural.

Because, based on what can be seen in the eye, this beast was a king-level creature in its lifetime.

Even after death, the original body remains extremely tough and resilient.

However, it surprisingly only lasted for less than two minutes.

Then the invisible sword blade in this void is somewhat terrifying.

No one spoke; someone was just staring at Lu Yu, pondering what he might be thinking.

Lu Yu stood in place and sneered, “What’s wrong? Are you already too scared to make a move? If that’s the case, how dare you still claim you want to kill me?”

This is nothing but a blatant provocation.

The kings were indignant. One of them pointed at Lu Yu and shouted, “Lu Yu, don’t get too arrogant. Don’t forget where you are—challenge us if you dare, and you’ll be the first to die!”

“Lu Yu, you’re too arrogant,” Yan Luo Wang could no longer watch passively and coldly said, “I’ve declared today that I will keep you here, and you definitely won’t be leaving.”

Lu Yu sneered coldly, “Ladies and gentlemen, are you waiting for me to kill myself while you just talk and don’t act? You may have time to wait, but I certainly don’t. Since none of you are going to make a move, then I’ll just—”

Boom!

From Lu Yu’s body, hundreds of thousands of illusory forms surged out.

Many people were on guard against Lu Yu approaching them in this way.

Everyone was stepping back, keeping a safe distance from the shapeshifter.

Lu Yu vanished from his original spot and reappeared less than a hundred meters away from the king.

This person was greatly startled, but upon seeing the distance of a hundred meters, his heart immediately calmed down.

But Lu Yu still lunged toward this person.

A radiant glow spread around the person, forming a circular luminous shield that enveloped him on all sides.

“Break it open!” Lu Yu shouted, his fingers slicing through the air like a blade as he struck down at the glowing shield.

“Lu Yu, this is my King’s skill, Perfect Defense. You’re still too early to break through it.”

Vroom!

Lu Yu’s palm struck the light shield, and the radiant glow on the shield rotated, absorbing all the force from Lu Yu’s downward strike.

“Break!”

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and harshly spat out a single word.

The light on his palm shot out, forming a cold, sharp blade several inches long.

That was the condensation of the blade of slaughter, and also Lu Yu’s final attacking technique.

“Crack!”

The mask had developed a small crack.

Boom!

The attacks from the seven poison men arrived at this moment as well.

Their fists struck the crack at the same time.

Bang!

The mask shattered.

“Not good,” the king, enveloped in a beam of light, hastily retreated backward.

But he was still a step too slow, and was surrounded by seven poison men.

Behind Lu Yu, Luo Chen arrived.

He was covered with numerous small sword scars, which did not affect his attacks.

Boom!

A powerful fist strike slammed straight into Lu Yu’s back, sending him plummeting into the sea of blood.

Billions of thunderous lightning bolts arrived, unyielding and striking Lu Yu directly.

“Oh!”

On the other side, seven poisoned men surrounded and killed a king.

The corpse fell into a sea of blood, and soon the eighth poison person surged out from the ocean.

“Surround these seven poison-infused individuals,” Luo Chen ordered.

At this moment, several kings immediately rushed towards the poison man.

“Damn it, let’s go all out!”

“As long as I don’t die, I refuse to believe that I can’t take down this one human.”

Everyone rushed into the attack range filled with bloodlust.

Fine cracks appeared on everyone’s bodies.

But they no longer held back, forcefully boosting their defense to the limit, resisting the invisible sword blades while launching a counterattack.

They were very reluctant, but at this point, if they didn’t cooperate, they might turn into toxic beings themselves before even getting a chance to kill Lu Yu.

Luo Chen swung his fists toward the blood sea, ready to suppress Lu Yu once again.

Lu Yu was pinned at the bottom of a sea of blood, unable to move.

“The Devil’s Wrath.”

Lu Yu roared, and in an instant, his aura surged once again, returning to the level of a King.

However, he knew that this support wouldn’t last long.

His demonic energy has not yet fully recovered.

He transformed, and both the Starlight Armor and the Starlight Sword appeared at the same time.

Bang!

He stood at the bottom of the sea, his starlight sword in hand slicing out a sword beam, as ten billion rays of light rain hurtled toward Luo Chen.

“Open up!” Luo Chen shouted, as he slashed his palm forward, cutting a rift through the radiant rain of light.

Just as he was about to rush out, the radiant rain closed in again, surrounding Luo Chen.

“Au.”

On the other side, a thousand black wolves galloped through the void, recklessly charging toward Lu Yu.

At this moment, the demonic energy within Lu Yu was once again depleted, causing the armor and Starlight Sword to swiftly retract.

A black wolf slammed into Lu Yu and exploded.

This is a suicide attack equivalent to the Three-Eyed King’s self-destruction. It is a concentrated strike embodying the third ability of the King’s Achieved Skill, representing the ultimate power of a King at his peak.

Lu Yu had not yet taken flight when one after another, thousands of black wolves crashed into him.

Lu Yu flew backward, blood dripping from his forehead, dark red and glistening. The crack on his forehead was spreading outward, especially on the skin of his left hand, where several areas had already begun to split like a turtle’s shell.

“Face death!”

Behind Lu Yu, the impact from King Yama came crashing down.

This time, King Yama was both ruthless and cautious. He wrapped himself in a radiant glow to protect against the poison gas.

Bang!

Lu Yu rushed into the sea of blood.

Boom! A sword beam slashed down, and before Lu Yu could fully transform, the power of the starry river exploded on his back.

Lu Yu’s upper body was exposed, his clothes in tatters, revealing skin covered with scars. Those scars were hideous and terrifying.

There was even a crack on the back.

“Haha.” Someone laughed loudly: “Lu Yu, even with your Star Device-level body, I can still blow you up.”

Lu Yu fell into a sea of blood, pushed himself up with both hands, and sprang back to his feet abruptly.

Fine cracks were appearing all over the bodies of countless kings. The weaker the king, the clearer and longer the scars became.

Dozens of skills were unleashed toward Lu Yu.

Snap!

Lu Yu, wielding the Blade of Slaughter, cut through the skill and lunged toward a king.

The two locked eyes. The other let out a scream of agony, their eyes bleeding and leaving behind two hollow sockets.

Lu Yu’s sword strike cleaved the man’s head in half.

All it would have taken was one more sword strike from him to kill the man. However, dozens of King-making skills from behind came crashing down, once again leaving a small crack on Lu Yu’s body.

These are the wounds on Lu Yu’s body, as well as the result of the star artifact consuming the radiance of the stars.

Lu Yu also knew that once the starlight within his body was exhausted, it would be the day of his death.

Lu Yu really gave it his all, resorting to the power of slaughter for a final, desperate push.

As soon as his demonic energy recovered slightly, he launched his attack immediately.

Luo Chen and the others truly did not expect that a human who had not become a King would be so terrifying, keeping them—over a thousand Kings—on edge without daring to relax.

They also did their best.

Although they were fully aware that无形sharp blades were continuously cutting their bodies from all directions in the empty space around them, they still dared not retreat.

To maximize their power, they must be within striking distance to unleash their full strength.

In this way, one must endure the cutting of an invisible blade.

“Oh!”

King Wang let out a pained scream as the invisible blades, densely scattered throughout the surrounding space, sliced through his bones.

Bang!

Lu Yu was thrown into a sea of blood, one of his eyes cracked with blood dripping out.

“Come on, everyone. He’s not going to make it.”

The kings laughed wildly, thinking that Lu Yu would surely die if things continued this way!

“You’re being too arrogant. I’m not dead yet!”

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and roared, surging forth from the sea of blood. His sword light severed the skill and slashed toward a king.

“You’re not good enough.”

The man Wang let out a thunderous shout, the sound waves from his mouth transforming into sonic blasts more powerful than cannonball impacts. The force sent Lu Yu flipping backward, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yu stopped mid-air and rushed forward immediately.

“Damn it, is he even human?” Wang thought, feeling a chill down his spine.

They all talk about being bloodthirsty and warlike, but the person before me is practically reckless in his eagerness for battle.

Facing the King of a Thousand, he was still attacking instead of defending.

Luo Chen hovered above Lu Yu, his palm slamming down and driving Lu Yu into the sea of blood.

“Restrain him, don’t let him move again.”

Luo Chen leaped toward the sea of blood, his palm wind splitting the blood ocean to prevent the toxic blood from touching his body.

At the same time, his foot forcefully stomped down toward Lu Yu’s head.

Lu Yu’s eyes suddenly flared with a blood-red light as he hissed fiercely, “Now!”

Boom! Eight poison men desperately broke through the encirclement of over a hundred kings. While losing five of their comrades, the remaining three poison men advanced toward Luo Chen.

Luo Chen raised his head to the sky, delivering a punch as he said, “With just these three poisoned individuals, you think you can suppress me?”

“No, they’re just holding you back,” Lu Yu laughed maniacally amidst the sea of blood, his bloodshot eyes gleaming with terrifying light. “After waiting for so long, this is the moment I’ve been waiting for!”
