Chapter 963: Confrontation

The Poison Dragon King’s toxicity has reached its peak and cannot be surpassed.

What exactly is the difference with this promotion?

The illusory figure did not leave, and Huo Wu and the others also looked at Lu Yu nervously.

Everyone is waiting for the result.

Lu Yu began to emit streams of black mist from his body. These dark vapors coiled around him, continuously swirling and transforming.

Evolution progress one percent… Evolution progress two percent…

Before Lu Yu’s eyes, the evolution data kept changing, getting closer and closer to one hundred percent.

Ten minutes later, the evolution reached one hundred percent.

The black aura on Lu Yu’s body quickly vanished.

The Poison Dragon King’s power evolution is complete.

Poison Dragon King: Skill of becoming the king.

Limit: None. This is the King’s skill, but there is no restriction on its use. All of its power can be used freely, regardless of whether the user is a king or not.

Description: Poison—unsolvable! The toxicity has reached its peak and can no longer evolve. This is an unprecedented, insurmountable poison that has never appeared in any era thus far. Any living being that succumbs to this poison will ultimately face death, perishing in agony.

Special Ability – Absorbing the ultimate poison from the King of Vultures, the Poison Dragon King’s power has fully evolved to its peak. Any weapon before you is merely a pile of scrap metal; even if a stellar artifact falls into your hands, it would take no more than ten breaths to dismantle it.

Skill – Poison Puppet: Any living being killed by the poison of the mighty Poison Dragon King will have their soul and flesh completely trapped within your venom. When you release the Poison Puppet, they will become your most loyal warriors.

Their physical bodies are immortal and can infinitely regenerate within the poison’s power. Only when the caster dies will the poison puppet perish!

Skill – Poison King Armor: Formed by your infinite toxic power, it is repaired using life force. Each repair consumes one hundred units of vitality. As long as you still possess life force, your Poison King Armor remains indestructible.

Any attack directed at your life or weapons will be tainted with deadly poison and corroded as long as they come into contact with the Poison King’s Armor.

Any attack on your life will rebound equal damage to the enemy, as long as the Poison King’s Armor remains unbroken.

Skills: Poison King Transformation – Your body can shift between human and venom dragon forms. In human form, you possess your own strength and your poison is at its strongest. In dragon form, you gain the formidable defensive power of the dragon race, as well as their warlike and battle-hungry spirit.

The strongest ability of the Poison King isn’t the transformation between human and poison dragon, but rather the half-human, half-dragon state. Once you balance human strength with the dragon clan’s power, you will obtain both the ultimate human strength and the dragon clan’s supreme ability. Achieving this equilibrium, however, will greatly drain your life force. Use this power with caution.

Lu Yu watched as the Poison Dragon’s power evolved, realizing that the toxicity had indeed reached its limit and could no longer advance.

Like all the skills of the King of Conquerors, his King of Poisonous Dragons also consists of three abilities.

Then the third ability must be the strongest.

Lu Yu watched as the Venomous Dragon King’s power completed its evolution, then turned his gaze back to the first reward.

He frowned, unsure of how to modify a certain part of his body.

The above indicates that the transformed body will be exceptionally powerful, but it does not provide specific details.

So, exactly how should one proceed with the transformation, or which part should be modified to obtain greater combat power?

Lu Yu frowned and hesitated for a long time.

At that moment, a mirror-like surface suddenly appeared in the sky.

Above, it was cut into countless tiny scenes—those were cities upon the Earth!

A scream echoed through the sky, and blood flowed between the cities.

Whether it’s the underground city or the city on the surface.

Barriers could not stop them, and the immortal sky was shattered.

Innumerable divine servants rampaged through the cities, leaving one city after another flattened in their wake.

Countless people knelt on the ground, begging the gods for mercy.

However, the expressions of the divine servants were hideous, their eyes glowing without emotion, as they continuously laughed maniacally while slaughtering humans.

Some people are refining human corpses into a single mass for collection, some are gathering treasures from city to city, and others are collecting pools of blood scattered across the ground, eventually condensing them into a single entity.

The sky is red, and the ground is red too, with rivers flowing through some cities.

Those rivers were also red, a deep crimson, with corpses floating and blocking the river’s flow.

In the divine city of the four-armed beings, Lu Yu stood waiting, gazing at the mirror image in the sky, as if truly witnessing the destruction of those cities right before his eyes.

The screams of the dying echoed in their ears, and the blood and bodies seemed as vivid before their eyes.

Many people clenched their fists, their eyes red and filled with murderous intent.

Although they are fierce, they would never lay a hand on civilians.

These divine servants had no concept of such a thing, and everything that stood in their way was slaughtered.

Whether they were young children or women, some elderly people knelt on the ground begging for mercy, but were still mercilessly slain by the神仆 with a sinister smile.

“That’s Zheng Zhiqing. He’s dead too. He didn’t have any star soul at all; he was just an ordinary person.” The Blood-Weeping inheritor was entirely covered in red, his hair practically standing on end.

The one who died was his best friend, the one who had walked with him since the very beginning of the apocalypse.

Zheng Zhiqing doesn’t have a star soul, but at the beginning of the apocalypse, without Zheng Zhiqing, he would already be dead.

But even such a person was killed.

Should we say that the servant of God is cruel or that God is heartless!

Someone kept clenching their teeth, their fingernails digging deeply into the flesh of their palms, with blood dripping down through the gaps between their fingers.

They have their friends, their loved ones, and also their past memories.

But now, there is nothing left.

Playing all of this now signifies that everyone from a particular faction has died.

The illusory figure spoke coldly in the air, “Destruction means destroying everything, until all living beings are either dead or submit. However, you have forsaken every chance to become divine servants. Now, there is nothing left but death or reaching the end of the road.”

Everyone fell silent.

Huowu raised her head and looked at the illusory figure, asking, “Where does this path lead to in the end?”

The illusory figure did not respond, instead gazing into the void, as if seeing through past and future.

One by one, the cities collapsed under golden pillars of light that covered the entire city after the last person died.

The blood and flesh on the ground turned to ashes, and the rivers dried up.

The画面is silent, then the color fades to black and white, and everything ceases to exist!

Lu Yu withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on his own reward.

Can all aspects of the body be transformed?

Lu Yu tried to make a choice and found that when he entered, only a part of it could be transformed.

For example, the limbs or the abdomen, or a certain internal organ, but there is no soul within.

“Heart!”

Lu Yu thought for a moment and then spoke in this way.

He selected the parts of himself that he wanted to transform.

“Boom!”

Lu Yu’s heart beat powerfully once.

Golden beams of light on the screen transformed into numerous thin snakes that burrowed into his body.

Lu Yu could feel the golden light entering his body, attaching itself to his heart, with little by little of the golden light continuously seeping into it.

Lu Yu suddenly stumbled backward, trying to escape from those golden rays of light.

However, to Lu Yu, the golden light appeared to extend from the screen, like pipelines piercing into his body.

To others, these golden rays of light appeared to extend from the void itself.

Lu Yu retreated hundreds of feet, yet the golden light extended for hundreds of feet as well, showing no sign of breaking off.

“Damn it!” Lu Yu glared at the illusory figure in the sky and shouted furiously, “My body can be transformed, but certainly not with your divine power or whatever godly blood!”

When Lu Yu saw the golden light, he immediately associated it with divine power.

He didn’t want to become a puppet or be controlled by the gods.

“Hmph!” the illusory figure coldly replied, “This is neither divine power nor divine blood. It’s merely an enhancement carried out according to your instructions. Who do you think I am? I am the true god—the supreme, omnipotent deity. Would I ever resort to humanity’s despicable methods to control you?”

Lu Yu stopped, his intuition telling him that the words of the illusory figure were not deceiving him.

Golden light continuously entered his body, gradually transforming his heart.

Everyone could tell.

Lu Yu is undergoing heart surgery.

But why doesn’t he use this method to enhance his physical abilities and become even more powerful in combat?

But to use him to transform the heart?

Golden light continuously merged into the heart.

Outwardly, Lu Yu didn’t appear to have changed much.

But if someone could see inside Lu Yu’s chest right now, they would find a heart that is purely golden, emitting dazzling golden light, as if it were forged entirely from pure gold.

When the golden light finally faded away, it marked the completion of the transformation.

Lu Yu touched the area over his heart and nodded in satisfaction.

The illusory figure then spoke, saying, “Now that your rewards have been distributed, the warriors from the opposing faction have also slain the beast. You will meet again!”

The stars in the sky shifted before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone reappeared once again on the ruins of the planet Shiling, where they had first gathered.

“How come it’s still here?” someone muttered to themselves.

Not far away, someone laughed and said, “I guess the ones who will survive in the end are also you two.”

Lu Yu and the others looked up and saw, not far ahead, Luo Mo and the other Heaven-Sundering Kings standing there, gazing at them with ambiguous smiles.

The group led by Luo Mo had about eight hundred people remaining, but behind them marched an immense army of nearly twenty million puppets.

Among them were two generals.

As soon as Lu Yu saw Luo Mo, his eyes immediately revealed intense killing intent. He coldly said, “Luo Mo, you’re still alive!”

After learning about Luo Mo’s past from the mouth of the King of the Underworld, his murderous intent toward Luo Mo grew even stronger.

Luo Masha has killed the Heir of Carnage, and his intent might not merely be to kill, but to devour their star souls, just like the Snake Demon, in order to become one of the Nine Mutated Star Souls through their powers.

Luo Mo cast a cold glance at Lu Yu and the others, smirking, “Is the Dark Sovereign dead? Haha, I didn’t expect him to die so soon. If he were still alive, I’d be able to settle some old scores with him. He’s been hunting me relentlessly all along. This time, let’s see if he can catch me.”

Lu Yu said coldly, “Don’t worry, he’s still alive! However, he has already left using the Divine Protection. If you want to find him, then wait until the next era.”

Luo Mo and the others were greatly shocked and exclaimed, “What?!”

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, “The Divine Protection? He has received the Divine Protection?”

“How many divine servants has he killed!”

Luo Mo and the others were astonished, their hearts pounding wildly, yet they also felt a tinge of envy.

Especially Luo Mo’s eyes, which emitted a cold, icy light, as if he were about to kill someone.

Lu Yu smiled and said, “What’s wrong? It seems you’re still a bit lacking. You didn’t even receive a reward as great as the one from Senior Mingzun. His reward was the Divine Protection. What about you? What did you get?”

“My reward is more than enough to kill you,” Luo Mo said, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, piercing straight through Lu Yu.

Lu Yu sneered, “Kill me? Then come and try. Let’s see who kills whom.”

Lu Yu was equally unyielding, his eyes flashing with murderous intent directed at Luo Mo.
