Chapter 961: Victory (1)

The emperor dragon’s eyes were spitting fire.

Time—he needed time more than anything else now.

One ground covered with beast carcasses, one ground soaked in blood.

The mighty Lord of the Sacred City has now fled.

He was on the verge of losing his mind, his fury at humanity about to set him ablaze.

Boom!

The blazing light from the giant dragon’s eyes, like a scorching sun, swept across the arena, turning the carcasses of beasts and pools of blood on the ground into ashes.

Finally, even the blood mist disappeared completely!

Moreover, the beam of light grew thicker and larger.

Three beams of light, originally dozens of zhang wide, expanded to hundreds of zhang in width and then merged into one!

A beam of light, a thousand zhang wide, swept across the land, leaving everything in its path glowing red.

This is heat more intense than lava.

Even Di Long cannot catch up with a real beam of light!

“Oh!”

The emperor dragon let out a mournful cry as its body was engulfed by the beam of light.

He burned his divine power to the limit, rushing out of the beam of light as if he himself were about to burst into flames.

However, his skin was dry and cracked, with several areas already burned.

“Human, when I return, I will tear you apart,” roared the Emperor Dragon.

It had been many years since he last felt so humiliated.

Except for that one time when he faced the Sword King and was in such a desperate situation, he had always remained high as the City Lord, commanding tens of millions of divine servants.

Time and again, he has been destroying human civilization, leaving nothing but cries of despair in his wake!

Countless people knelt before him, begging for mercy. Many humans abandoned their dignity altogether in their desperate struggle for survival.

He really couldn’t have imagined today that he would run away, and in such a desperate manner.

Both arms were broken, the entire body was scorched, and there was a deep wound on the chest down to the bone. It seemed as if all the internal organs were destroyed.

He was also coughing up blood continuously.

Every time he tried to suppress his injury, he felt its severity more intensely.

Sword King!

The Emperor Dragon roared in fury within his heart, blaming everything on the Sword King.

Of course, there was also the young man standing right in front of him.

The emperor dragon escaped from the beam of light and fled toward the edge of the city.

If he is given just two more hours, the power within him will be restored to its peak.

What will humans amount to then!

“Roar!” the Dragon King bellowed, his massive dragon claw descending like five towering peaks, crushing down upon the arena.

Boom——

The immense power was entirely unleashed upon the arena.

The ground shook, continuously undulating, causing the surrounding buildings to sway incessantly.

Meanwhile, some cracks appeared on the arena beneath the dragon’s claws.

I don’t know what this arena is made of, but it’s surprisingly hard.

Now, even with the combined power of Lu Yu and the Three-Eyed Dragon King, they could not shatter the arena with a single strike—the stone was simply too hard.

“Boom!”

The second strike of the Dragon’s Claw came down.

Cracks began to spread outward in all directions across the arena, densely covering the area beneath the dueling ground.

“Au, roar!”

A terrifying beastly roar emerged from beneath the crack.

Bang!

The sound of flesh and blood colliding with mountain rocks came from underground the arena.

The cracks on the arena were becoming more numerous and larger.

Dragon’s claw strikes again.

Bang!

The arena cracked open, and from beneath the ground, an immensely huge black shadow leaped out.

This is a three-headed giant wolf, standing nearly ten thousand feet tall and stretching almost twenty thousand feet in length.

The giant wolf’s three eyes blazed with a chilling gaze, exuding a murderous and bloodthirsty aura.

It stood here once again, like an enormous mountain.

However, before the Three-Eyed Dragon King, he was too insignificant.

The difference between a million zhang and ten thousand zhang is a hundredfold.

One in the sky, one on the earth.

The giant wolf saw the dragon in the sky and Lu Yu. Suddenly, it bent its four legs forcefully and leaped high into the air, rushing toward Lu Yu and the dragon’s head.

The giant wolf’s bloodthirsty mouth stretched open, its grin extending all the way to the ears, revealing rows of sharp fangs.

“Roar!”

The dragon’s roar rose again as it swung its massive tail mid-air, striking the great wolf with tremendous force.

Boom!

The wolf’s body flew sideways, crashing into a cluster of buildings tens of thousands of meters away.

Hum.

The Dragon King’s three eyes emitted beams of light that pierced through the void and struck the wolf’s body.

“Au!”

The giant wolf howled in pain, its fur scorched black where it had been hit, and its skin charred and blackened.

Lu Yu and the Three-Eyed Dragon King were equally astonished. This strike failed to penetrate the black hole; the wolf’s defensive power was simply incredible.

Boom!

On the other side, Emperor Dragon suddenly surged back.

He descended from the sky, his foot sweeping toward Lu Yu’s crown.

Lu Yu raised his hand and punched the sky with a powerful blow.

A ripple spread out from the point where Lu Yu’s fist and Di Long’s foot met, slicing through the surrounding void.

The Emperor Dragon was blasted into the sky.

He had to come back.

Since he wouldn’t return, with the death of the giant wolf, he was defeated as well.

Failing to complete a divine mission on the planet of spirits is tantamount to death.

At the same time, the dragon’s head was also struck downward by the force, crashing toward the earth.

At this moment, the other giant wolf also leaped up, fearlessly lunging at the dragon’s body.

Crunch, crunch —

The terrifying, grating sound of metal scraping against metal continued between the dragon’s body and the wolf’s fangs.

The Dragon Clan is renowned as a warrior race not only for their bellicosity, but also for their terrifyingly formidable defensive capabilities.

The giant wolf’s bite couldn’t even pierce dragon scales.

Bang.

The dragon’s tail moved again, slamming the giant wolf to the ground.

The other party, Dilon, also rushed over.

“Swallowed the giant wolf!” Lu Yu roared.

His abilities are now linked with the dragon, allowing Lu Yu to harness the dragon’s power to unleash his devouring ability.

Infinite black energy surged from the giant dragon, giving rise to an enormous black dragon’s head. Its mouth opened from the earth up to the heavens, swallowing even the void itself in its darkness.

Boom!

The dragon’s mouth closed, swallowing the giant wolf whole into the head of the Black Dragon.

The black dragon’s head retracted backward, and the returning howl of the wolf continued to echo.

“Oh!”

The Dragon Emperor, his eyes bloodshot, desperately lunged at the Black Dragon’s head.

The great wolf must not die.

He was a step too slow.

The giant wolf was swallowed into Lu Yu’s body.

Then Lu Yu’s body began to emit a series of “bang, bang, bang…” sounds.

His entire body’s bones cracked and splintered, with muscles bursting open one after another.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth; this was undoubtedly a ferocious beast nearly on par with the Imperial Dragon, its power approaching his own.

Now he dares to swallow this giant beast, for time is running out.

Three days is simply not enough time to kill the giant wolf, even with the combined efforts of Di Long and the giant wolf itself.

Lu Yu chose to devour without hesitation.

Then, the dragon’s body, a million zhang long, suddenly coiled up, protecting the dragon’s head.

The dragon’s body coils across the earth like a snake, reaching up to the heavens.

“Oh! Human, you spit it out for me.”

Di Long was going crazy.

He saw Lu Yu swallow the giant wolf and knew it was all over.

Now, disregarding everything, he pushed his strength to the peak, his divine power burning as he unleashed punch after punch, striking the dragon’s body with immense force.

However, the dragon’s body was too rigid, with each scale more terrifying than a wall of steel dozens of zhang thick.

The Three-Eyed Dragon King used his body to shield Lu Yu, waiting for Lu Yu to devour the giant beast along with his own head.

Lu Yu’s body, under the protection of the dragon’s guardian, kept cracking and then healing.

He has already activated his killing awakening.

However, the power of this wolf was too terrifying, equivalent to the combined strength of six million divine servants working together.

Lu Yu devoured a hundred thousand divine servants, and his body struggled to withstand the strain.

Now the power of this black wolf is even more astonishing.

Lu Yu dared not be careless.

He seemed to return once again to the early days when he first began cultivating the power of Devouring.

A beast was continuously ramming inside his body.

Time passed second by second.

Di Long’s fists were bleeding, and the dragon scales on the three-eyed dragon were shattering one by one.

The dark clouds in the sky pressed lower and lower, with the number of lightning snakes inside increasing rapidly, as if they were the angry roars of a god.

However, Dilong was unable to break through the dragon clan’s defense. He looked up at the sky in terror, realizing in his heart that it was over.

“Haha!”

Di Long suddenly burst into maniacal laughter and said, “So in the end, I still have to die? Damned god, was I in the end merely your puppet, manipulated at your whim? I refuse to accept it—I won’t!”

No more suppression.

Di Long roared out all the hatred and grievances from the bottom of his heart.

Roar!

The dragon’s body suddenly unfolded.

Lu Yu fixed his gaze on Dilong.

“Boom——”

Lightning snakes rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour.

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a hundred-foot-tall pillar, struck down upon the Emperor Dragon, obliterating its body into ashes.

Innumerable lightning snakes were also descending towards the edges of the city.

The war still continues somewhere, with both sides fighting desperately, and the number of the dead keeps increasing.

Humans gained the upper hand for a short period of time.

However, the human population remains too low, relying on those with puppetry abilities to stabilize the situation.

However, when a person with puppetry abilities dies, this balance is somewhat disrupted.

The number of deceased humans is increasing, and the survivors are also feeling immense pressure.

Time is running out!

Everyone’s eyes were gleaming with a cold, sharp light; that ferocity and savageness had transformed them into beasts.

The last hope is Lu Yu.

Can he slay the beast?

The sight now is just like a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.

Dark clouds roared with lightning, as if thunderous serpents were cascading down upon the earth like a torrential downpour, or as if a bolt of lightning had split the ground asunder.

Innumerable divine servants screamed in agony the moment they were struck by the lightning, turning to ashes amidst their unwilling roars of defiance.

Lightning struck among the crowd and among the buildings, as if the wrath of the gods had truly descended.

People suddenly froze.

Then someone burst into laughter and said, “We won, we won.”

“I didn’t see it wrong, this victory is real!” People burst into wild laughter.

It was almost considered a defeat, but in the end, it turned out to be a victory.

Even the invincible city lord is about to be defeated.

“Lu Yu succeeded.”

“We survived.”

Some people’s eyes turned red with excitement.

It was too hard to win.

Because of the presence of the city lord, they had once thought they were surely going to lose.

As a result, they still managed to survive.

The countless beams of light that shattered the divine servants fell upon them, yet not the slightest harm came to them.

Meanwhile, more than five million spirit servants around had already perished.

The remaining divine servants, knowing they were doomed to die, began to curse the heavens.

And this only made the lightning even more intense and terrifying.

More than twenty million divine servants were reduced to ashes within just ten minutes, and an entire celestial city had already become a wasteland.

Not long ago, the place was filled with a deafening crowd, but now it is eerily silent.

Even the kings were astonished.

Their hearts were pounding wildly.

In the past ten days, they had killed less than a million divine servants, yet more than two-thirds of their comrades had fallen in battle.

Now, these divine servants were finally exterminated in just ten minutes by the lightning.

Is this the gap between gods and humans?

After the initial joy, no one could laugh anymore.

Because such power is irresistible to humans, how could anyone possibly stand against it!

A figure appeared in the void, his voice cold as he said, “You have won. Now, it’s time to distribute your rewards.”
