The question Lu Yu asked is actually one that many people want to ask.
They just don’t know who might have the answer.
Now, they could faintly hear Lu Yu’s question and all perked up their ears, listening attentively.
The Supreme Lord of the Netherworld thought that this answer should be kept secret, and said, “The opening of the grand hall requires soul power—it’s a matter of consumption, not measurement. Therefore, pushing open the door consumes a vast amount of soul energy. However, the blood sacrifice has already supplied the gate with a massive amount of life force as a substitute for its activation. That’s why, when you entered previously, there was no consumption involved in opening the door.”
Many people around immediately realized the situation and looked toward the kings who had already started pushing the doors.
When they began to push forward, some people’s expressions had already subtly changed.
The divine servants have already declared outside that a decisive outcome will be determined here.
In other words, they wanted to save their spiritual energy for the upcoming battle, rather than waste it on merely pushing open a door.
Five kings and their companions also sensed something unusual as they pushed open the door.
However, if everyone pushes together, it will consume less soul energy.
So they gritted their teeth and continued on.
The gate was extremely heavy; the more he pushed, the more soul energy it consumed.
The crowd had already expended one-tenth of their soul energy just to push open a gap barely wide enough for a single person to pass through; even the King found it no easy feat.
Luo nodded, smiling very contentedly. “Good. You’ve pushed the door open. Now, you may enter as well. However, you must not touch any of the items we want. As for the rest, what you take and how you take it is entirely up to you.”
After Luo finished speaking, he suddenly transformed into a beam of golden light and rushed toward the crack.
At the same time, golden light shimmered across all the divine servants, and in the next moment, they transformed into beams of light that surged through the stone door.
After all the divine servants entered,裂天王and the others followed them inside.
After taking one last glance at Lu Yu and Mingzun, the demon Luo said, “I’ll go ahead first. Both of you, take care!”
Luo Mo laughed heartily, then turned around and entered the grand hall as well.
The Sovereign of the Netherworld said, “Let us go in as well.”
Lu Yu and Mingzun also stepped into the grand hall.
Rows of stone doors stand on both sides of the grand hall.
Many of them were entering for the first time. However, they already had some understanding of the Demon Lord’s domain.
Behind the stone door were the items they could obtain.
Everyone can only take one item.
Therefore, everyone carefully pushed open the stone door and then examined the area.
“Let’s go,” said the Spirit King. “The items here are useless to you. I brought you here because this palace belongs to the Soul Master. The owner of the First Level Demon Control Hall is the Blood-Weeping Soul Master. Therefore, this hall is ultimately the burial place of the Soul Master’s spirit.”
Lu Yu was very surprised.
He felt that the Lord of the Netherworld was very familiar with this place, guiding him through the maze-like stone hall. They had already seen the divine servants ahead moving in formation.
The Sky-Sundering King, Luo Mo, and a few others also followed these divine servants.
A divine servant turned around and coldly said, “You want to die? What do you mean by following us?”
“Haha, what a joke. This palace is so big, how we walk through it, what does it have to do with you?” Luo replied with a smirk.
The divine servant coldly said, “Human, this is my final warning to you. Even if you choose to follow us, that is your own affair. However, if anyone dares to seize something we value, none of you will leave here alive.”
Luo Mo did not answer, only smiled silently.
A maze will always have an end.
By the time everyone reached the end of the maze, Alar stretched his hand into the void and pulled out tens of thousands of mutated Star Spirit Beads.
Then Alar’s hand moved, and a golden light reduced all the mutated Star Spirit Beads to shimmering light.
Boom!
A radiant light formed a doorway in the air.
All the divine servants once again transformed into golden light and flew into it.
However, after most of the divine servants entered, there were still a thousand divine servants remaining.
They blocked the light gate.
A divine servant smiled and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, entry is not allowed here.”
“Take one more step forward, and don’t blame me for being rude!”
Golden light surged from everyone’s body, each beam of light resembling a radiant column shooting straight up to the top of the grand hall.
“Hey, are you all trying to block me?” Luo Mo looked at the group of over a hundred people and said, “You’ve become divine servants, and it seems your courage has grown too. Oh, John, you used to be just an American soldier following behind me, but now you dare to act arrogantly in front of me.”
A young American man with brown hair and black eyes laughed and said, “Mr. Luoyu, the past is the past, and now is now. You might want to die beneath the tide of apocalypse, but I don’t. Moreover, becoming a divine servant, look at what I’ve gained!”
John spread his arms triumphantly and said, “See this? My current strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary king, and seems to be almost on par with yours.”
“You don’t even use the term ‘you’ with respect anymore. You’re no longer that little soldier who used to follow me around, begging for my help,” Luo Mo chuckled. “But do you really think apparent strength represents everything?”
“Mr. Luo Mo, I know that compared to you, my strength is still far inferior. One-on-one, I don’t possess the power or arrogance of the deceased divine servant to challenge you directly. But here, we have a hundred of us. How many do you have?”
Luo Mo licked his lips and said, “Actually, there’s something I’ve really wanted to tell you for a while now.”
As he spoke, a hideous grin spread across Luo Mo’s face. He said, “It’s the life force within the Divine Servant’s body that I love to devour the most.”
As soon as Luo Mo finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of black and white light and rushed toward John.
“Mr. Luomo, you’re asking for death!” John shouted, and with that, he had already launched a palm strike toward Luomo.
The black and white light suddenly separated mid-air, with the white and black beams rushing toward the two people beside John.
“Oh!”
Two screams of anguish rang out at the same time.
These two beams of light had already transformed into the black and white Luo demons.
Each of the two had seized a divine servant, and the demon’s mouth was already biting into the bodies of the two divine servants.
The two divine servants were instantly sucked dry, leaving only mummified corpses.
Before the surrounding divine servants could react, the two Luo demons had already lunged toward the people nearby and struck again.
Hundreds of divine servants launched a counterattack, their radiant light forcing the two Luo demons to stagger backward.
“The difference between you and the divine servant I killed outside is too great,” Luo Mo said with a bloody grin, his face twisted in a hideous smile, still holding onto a desiccated corpse.
Lu Yu could only watch, as this was the first time he had ever seen Luo Mo fight in such a way.
This is absolutely brutal.
Almost half of the hundred divine servants died instantly, and the remaining ones’ faces turned pale with shock.
John was already pale enough, but now his entire body was cold, his face devoid of color, and his complexion was frighteningly bluish.
“Little John, do you really think your current strength is of any use?” The demonic beast’s ferocity was so overwhelming that even several dungeon masters who followed closely behind felt their scalps tingling with fear.
A king in the hands of the demon, capable of draining a person’s life force and soul with just one bite.
Moreover, every time it consumed a person’s blood and life force, the demon’s power grew stronger. Its bones continuously emitted crisp cracking sounds, as if they were constantly reforming and reorganizing.
More than a hundred divine servants perished within a few minutes, with not a single one surviving.
Luo Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned back to look at Ming Zun, Lu Yu, and the others, and laughed: “Do you think I’m cruel? To be honest, I think so too. But as long as it makes me stronger, whether I’m cruel or compassionate doesn’t matter to me at all!”
Luo Mo stepped over the dried corpse on the ground and crossed into the light gate.
“Go on, come in!” Ming Zun nodded slightly towards Lu Yu.
The Sky-Sundering King and the other monarchs entered first, followed closely by the Dark Sovereign and Lu Yu.
After Lu Yu entered the light gate, he found himself in what appeared to be an underground location.
Because high above them, thousands of meters overhead, were pitch-black rocks, while the place where they stood was an underground palace no less vast than a city housing a million people.
Massive stone pillars support the cave walls, with countless bird and animal motifs painted in gold lacquer on the pillars.
The ground beneath their feet was paved with crystals, its smooth mirrored surface reflecting the faces of the people.
Ahead of the crowd, a mass of blood-red liquid, five hundred meters in diameter, hovered in the air, constantly rotating.
Even from a distance, Lu Yu could sense the strong bloody odor emanating from that mass of liquid.
Beneath the liquid, there lay a blood-red coffin, two zhang long and one zhang wide!
This coffin had been placed here for an unknown number of years, emitting an aura of decay and eeriness. Countless intricate patterns intertwined across its surface, within which blood seemed to flow.
This made the crimson coffin appear as if it were wrapped in blood.
Lu Yu felt that this must be the reason why the Soul Lord had mentioned his soul power being drawn here.
Liantian Wang and the others were entering for the first time, and upon seeing that mass of reddish liquid, their hearts couldn’t help but race.
Lu Yu was equally unable to remain calm.
He stared at the mass of liquid and exclaimed in astonishment, “Soul energy—it’s such a powerful soul energy fluctuation!”
Just as Lu Yu was speaking, ripples suddenly spread across the void around the liquid. Hundreds of blood-red beams, each about ten feet long and as thick as a human arm, surged out from the ripples and plunged into the mass of liquid.
Several kings, including the Sky-Sundering King, exclaimed in ecstatic delight: “Just a portion of it would allow our strength to increase by several times.”
No one had expected that such a precious treasure would exist within the Domain of the Demonic Sovereign.
At this moment, Luo and the others also saw Lu Yu and his group enter.
“Looking for death!”
This time, all the divine servants erupted with intense murderous intent.
The entire underground palace was shaking violently.
Alar said in a gloomy voice: “I’ve said it before, we don’t care what you take from the Demon Conqueror’s Hall, as long as you don’t disturb us. But entering here will cost you your lives.”
“This secret is not something your kind can ever know. Since you’ve come here, none of you will leave.” Luo swung his five-zhang-long stone club and charged toward the group.
“Die without knowing life! Not one shall be spared!” another giant roared.
“You lot’s stuff, nonsense!” Luo Mo roared with wild laughter. “What’s hidden here is none other than your own ancient ancestor. You claim it’s something humans aren’t allowed to know. Does that mean you admit you’re not human yourselves?”
“Get out!”
A giant stepped beside Luo Mo, his towering figure agile and swift. The stone club in his hand emitted a golden glow, flashing like lightning as it swept across Luo Mo’s body.
“Boom!”
Luo Mo was struck, and half of his body exploded into a bloody mess.
However, the other half of his body suddenly slid along the ground like a snake as he fell, swiftly maneuvering behind the giant. In an instant, he sprang up, fingers extended like a blade, and stabbed toward the giant’s heart from behind.
The giant turned around and struck with tremendous force.
Bang!
The demon Luo flew sideways, crashing into a stone pillar hundreds of meters away before bouncing off.
The giant said coldly, “You killed Si only because Si was too careless. In terms of strength, you’re far inferior. Without giving you the chance to get close, what makes you think you can stand against us?”
“Boom.”
The remaining kings on the other side also engaged in battle with the divine servants.
Luo lunged even more fiercely toward Lu Yu and Mingzun.
Aleer watched from behind as Luo lunged toward Lu Yu, a sinister expression spreading across his face. “Luo,” he growled, “you’d better not set your sights on that man. He’s extremely powerful. If you lay a hand on him, the one who will die is you.”
