“You have won. Now it’s time to distribute your rewards.”
The voice of the illusory figure echoed in the air.
It thrilled all the kings beyond measure.
Could it be that they have passed and can now return to live in this world again?
The light was shimmering.
A white light appeared beneath the feet of everyone.
Then everyone was teleported away.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived in a ruined arena.
Lu Yu and the Three-Eyed Dragon King stood here.
Huowu rushed into Lu Yu’s arms, her eyes red with tears.
The Supreme Spirit looked at Lu Yu with a smile and nodded slightly, as if experiencing a sense of relief and liberation.
The demon-slaying elder laughed heartily, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.
The illusory figure said: “Now the rewards are being distributed, and each of you will receive different rewards. Those who have killed less than one hundred thousand divine servants will receive a Star Artifact, a set of Star-tier armor, a King-level skill, and a divine crystal.”
The illusory figure spoke.
White beams of light landed before some people, enveloping them in those rays. Before them appeared weapons, armor, mutated Star Spirit Beads of king-level skills, and crystal beads the size of eyeballs.
These people happily accepted the items.
Especially the ownership of the crystal surprised them.
Pick up the Star Artifact, absorb the skill, and put on the armor.
Shen Jing and the others also carefully put it away.
Lu Yu watched this process very clearly, and these were all ordinary star artifacts, nothing special or unique about them.
However, compared to the quality of what he and Kun had cultivated, it was equivalent to a state in which ten drops of royal blood had been fused together.
This group was also the largest, numbering around one thousand people. The remaining group consisted of only about twenty-three individuals who were not enveloped by the light.
The illusory figure continued, “Those who have slain between one hundred thousand and three hundred thousand divine servants will receive a royal blood starseed artifact, a set of royal blood starseed armor, a royal-level skill with random attributes, and one divine crystal.”
Someone immediately asked, “What exactly is a King-tier skill with random attributes?”
The illusory figure said, “That means the three abilities you obtained from the King-level skill are each at least as powerful as ordinary King-level skills. If you’re lucky enough, you could gain abilities that are two to ten times stronger than ordinary King-level skills.”
After the illusionary figure finished explaining, a white light descended from the sky, enveloping the fifteen people.
The reward was quickly issued.
To Lu Yu, these star artifacts were roughly equivalent to infusing thirty drops of king’s blood into the star artifacts they cultivated.
The illusory figure spoke again: “There are five individuals who have slain divine servants numbering between three hundred million and eight hundred million. You may now choose the reward you desire. Before you, there will appear a screen visible only to you, listing everything you wish for. From each category, you may select one item.”
Among these five people was Lou Xiaoyu, along with Huo Wu and Xue Ji. One of the remaining two was a dungeon lord, while the other was the inheritor of the Blood Crying legacy.
After the shadow spoke, all five of them were staring at the screen, carefully making their selections.
“A total of two individuals have slain between 800,000 and 1,000,000 divine servants. Each of you shall receive one Divine Protection.”
One of these two individuals is the Sword King, and the other is actually the Dark Sovereign!
When the beam of light shone upon the two individuals, many kings gazed at them with greed.
Divine Protection.
That ring was regarded as more valuable and more precious than any other reward.
The King of Swords took the ring, nodded toward Lu Yu and the others, and said, “Everyone, what I needed to do this time is now complete. If fate allows, we shall meet again in the next era.”
The Dark Lord looked at Lu Yu, patted his shoulder, and laughed: “Originally, I didn’t want to leave. But now it seems I must go too. Sorry, I’ve been deceiving you all along. In fact, I was your guardian, but I’m no longer worthy of that role.”
With a touch of sorrow in his eyes, the Dark Sovereign said, “The generation of the Killer’s Legacy I once guarded was killed by the Demon of the Luo! As a guardian, I failed to protect the life of the Legacy Bearer, so I no longer have the qualification to be a guardian. However—”
The Supreme Spirit gazed at Lu Yu with satisfaction and said, “Seeing you grow, no longer needing my protection, I feel relieved. If you fail, I will continue to guard your successor in the next era. But if you succeed, then my protection will no longer be necessary. You are the strongest inheritor I have ever known, second only to the Master of Souls.”
Lu Yu looked at Mingzun. He had already suspected some of Mingzun’s identity beforehand, so upon hearing it now, he felt somewhat surprised but not entirely shocked.
The Sovereign of the Underworld was about to depart.
Thinking about all that Mingzun had taught him over such a long period, and the senior who had been guarding him all along, Lu Yu deeply bowed to Mingzun and said, “In my eyes, you are the guardian. Without you, I wouldn’t be standing here today. You’ve taught me so much; I’m truly grateful!”
Lu Yu’s eyes were moist; he was saying goodbye to an elder.
The Supreme One laughed and said, “Actually, I should also thank you, because you’ve forged your own path and led us through these arduous journeys that no one has ever taken before. Such experience is an invaluable treasure for the next civilization. One day, we will surely slay the gods!”
“Everyone, may we meet again in the next civilization!” Sword King nodded toward the group, put on the ring, and his body was gradually enveloped in golden light before vanishing into the void.
The illusory figure said, “Once you put on this ring, you will never be able to take it off in this era. Once you remove it in the next era, you will once again enter the battlefield.”
The Supreme Spirit bade farewell to everyone, then put on the ring and vanished from the spot.
The people from Fanggang carried a sense of sadness, as this parting might mean they would never meet again.
The illusory figure looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, now I ask you, are you willing to become the deity’s spokesperson? If you agree, you may bring everyone from your city to the Divine Star. However, you must all become divine servants, without exception.”
Everyone frowned, and some people looked at Lu Yu with envy.
Being invited by God repeatedly is a sign of great importance that God places on that person.
Would you still refuse after seeing this?
Lu Yu looked around at the ruins and smiled. “Just like this city, you use it as your weapon when it’s useful, and then casually destroy it when it’s no longer of use?”
“With your strength, there won’t be any powerful being surpassing you in any era. On the planet Shenling, only one person could kill you, but you will never meet. As long as you are willing, you and your family, your friends can live forever and ever, living in peace.”
Lu Yu looked towards Huo Wu.
Huowu smiled and shook her head.
Xiao Xiao shook her head with a smile, clenching her fist at Lu Yu.
Yuki, the Demon-Slaying Elder, and everyone in Fanggang were shaking their heads.
Lu Yu looked at the illusory figure and laughed loudly, saying, “I disagree. I don’t want to live in a place full of arrogance and betrayal!”
“That’s a pity; you won’t have such an opportunity again,” the illusory figure sighed unusually. “You have slain 2,036,362 divine servants, defeated the city beast, and thus earned the highest reward. Reward One: your body will undergo a transformation. Reward Two: you will receive one drop of divine blood. Reward Three: you will gain a king-level skill by enhancing a certain force within you, and you can use it without any level restrictions.”
The illusory figure successively announced three rewards, each one brimming with temptation.
Everyone was moved.
It’s a body transformation, so the reward for someone else’s suggestion is fine.
Proposed by God, it becomes infinitely tempting.
Lu Yu frowned and said, “Isn’t divine blood just the power within a representative’s body? Will giving this to me actually be useful?”
“That’s just divine power, not divine blood. Divine blood is the most supreme existence; is it something that can be given away casually?”
“What use would you have for my divine blood?” Lu Yu laughed and said, “Can it be used to forge weapons, or can it enhance one’s strength?”
“You will come to understand that in your moments of despair.”
Within the beam of light, a white crystal the size of a fist appeared before Lu Yu. Inside it was a golden droplet as small as a grain of rice.
This droplet was not large, emitted no aura at all, yet it radiated an incredibly sacred glow.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally put it away.
He continued to ask, “What about Reward One and Reward Three?”
“You will see it right away. Now, start choosing.”
The illusory figure spoke, standing in the void without any intention of leaving.
Everyone present was moved, each harboring an uneasy premonition.
A crystal screen appeared in front of Lu Yu, of course, this screen was visible only to him.
A transformation of the body is an evolution.
However, this evolution does not affect the entire body, but only a specific part. Enhancing this part, or gaining abilities that surpass everything else.
“Only one section?” Lu Yu murmured to himself, pausing for a moment with a slight headache, unsure of how to decide.
Lu Yu looked up and said, “What if I modify my soul? I think it’s still a part of my body.”
The illusory figure said, “It’s all your choice, nothing to do with others!”
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment before setting reward one aside first.
Then, if we were to transform a skill into a King’s skill, and use it without any restrictions.
The Demon King’s body has already reached the top level of the King class; further modifications will still keep it at the King class.
Moreover, he can now use the third ability of Cheng Wang’s skills without any restrictions, which is unnecessary.
The Soul of the Star God of Slaughter belongs to the power of star souls. If this ability were transformed into a King’s Skill, it might influence one’s own strength.
Then what should one choose?
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and suddenly fixed his gaze on the Poison Dragon King!
Poison Dragon King — Level: Unique (The strongest poison, unparalleled).
Special Ability: Poison – Unbeatable!
The Toxic Dragon King’s abilities have become unparalleled; he is already the strongest.
Then, if it were to be elevated once again to the level of a king’s skill, what kind of transformation would occur?
Actually, from the very beginning, Lu Yu had considered using the power of the Poisonous Dragon King as his king-making skill. However, since the king’s strength was still the ultimate and came with limitations, he eventually decided against it.
Since realizing that the uncrowned king could actually be infinitely enhanced and eventually surpass the king, he had never again focused on cultivating any skills to become a king.
The poison can no longer be surpassed. Then, let’s enhance it once again to see if it can become even stronger!
Lu Yu chose to upgrade his power by harnessing the strength of the Poison Dragon King.
He immediately received a response indicating the start of the Toxic Dragon King’s evolution.
…
The Poison Dragon King’s abilities have been enhanced, evolving from a unique skill to a king-making ability. The strengthening and evolution process has begun…
