Chapter 935: The Secret of the Immortal Demon Beast

The cave beneath the Blood Tower was filled with rolling black mist.

Fifteen pairs of beastly eyes fixed on Lu Yu, the murderous intent in them fading, as they waited almost pleadingly for his response.

“Human, you can impose any restrictions on us.”

“Whatever restrictions you impose, just let us out. Our army of war beasts can slay kings and has even devoured the Dark Descent.”

“Human, you won’t lose out. We’ve been trapped here for far too long, waiting for an opportunity. If you’re willing to release us now, we will surely help you.”

One after another, the magical beasts kept speaking, luring Lu Yu with temptation.

Lu Yu had also been gloomy, his brows almost knitted together.

The monsters felt they had said enough, so they closed their mouths one by one and waited for Lu Yu’s response.

Moreover, the more Lu Yu hesitated, the more excitement and joy grew in their eyes.

Some of the monstrous beasts kept licking their lips with their tongues, their sharp, snow-white teeth slightly hooked and gleaming coldly.

Lu Yu suddenly lifted his head.

The fifteen magical beasts all became tense.

Lu Yu smiled and said, “What you’ve said is very sincere. However, just like me, you’ve both killed too many people. When the desire to kill arises, the murderous intent in one’s eyes can’t be hidden. It’s a pity—you’re trying to deceive me.”

Fifteen magic beasts were momentarily stunned, then roared in unison.

The peak king-level power erupted, and the fifteen magic beasts suddenly charged toward the toxic barrier as if tearing off their masks.

If a true King-level force were to strike, the toxic barrier wouldn’t last for long.

However, their power was quickly drained by the Blood Tower, leaving them with only King-level strength, which was insufficient to harm the poison barrier.

Fifteen beasts sprang back.

A demonic ape pounded its chest with both hands and roared at Lu Yu, “Human, if we manage to survive and get out of here, our army will surely raze your city to the ground.”

A monstrous wolf, its limbs rigid and its back arched, snarled fiercely, “Not one shall be spared. Kill them all, kill every last one. Human, you’d better not let us out.”

They no longer felt the initial fear and dread; instead, they transformed into ferocious beasts, their fur standing completely on end.

“The Killer Heir must have had a reason to suppress you beneath this Blood Tower,” Lu Yu said coldly. “Since you already want to kill me, I won’t be polite either. Let’s see whether you are truly immortal or if my poison is stronger!”

Lu Yu’s power erupted within his body, causing the surrounding void to tremble.

The power of tens of millions of Zun could only be a step towards being crushed by the peak kings.

But when he faced fifteen magic beasts with only Wang Zun’s strength, it was these fifteen magic beasts that were utterly crushed.

Lu Yu walked through the toxic barrier, and all the poisonous gas automatically receded.

He is the king of all poisons, surpassing even the venom of the Poison Dragon, exceeding the once supreme Eagle King’s poison.

When Lu Yu stepped into the toxic barrier and faced the fifteen monstrous beasts directly, they finally felt fear.

“Au!”

A monstrous wolf raised its head and let out a long howl.

Once again, a magic beast surged out from the altar at the rear.

Even a Level 4魔 beast was reduced to a bloody pulp under Lu Yu’s aura.

Fifteen magical beasts were crushed underground, unable to even move.

Black poison gas, like snakes, coiled around Lu Yu’s fingers as he directly pressed his hand onto the head of a demonic ape.

“Au.”

The monstrous ape let out a piteous scream.

After all, this is an extremely potent venom, the most powerful toxin that Lu Yu could never evolve beyond.

When Lu Yu pressed his five fingers onto the demon ape’s skull, the poisonous gas slithered like venomous snakes into the demon ape’s seven orifices. The demon ape twisted its body, trying to escape from Lu Yu’s palm.

However, under the suppression of the Blood Tower, their king-level power only surfaces for an instant before vanishing again.

This time, the poison was even too much for the魔人猿 to handle.

It flaked off bit by bit, soon turning into a puddle of black water.

But in the next moment, the black water began to flow backward, and the flesh and blood of the demon ape, which had originally turned into black water, started to rapidly regenerate. The figure of the demon ape actually reappeared.

Not a single drop of black water remained on the ground; it had all re-coalesced into the flesh and blood of the demon ape.

It was as if time had reversed, returning to the moment when the ape demon was poisoned.

“Not even poison can kill you?”

Lu Yu was astonished, greatly surprised by the魔人猿’s ability.

“I don’t believe you’re truly immortal. If I can’t kill you once, I’ll do it ten times; if ten times isn’t enough, I’ll do it a hundred.”

The black gas in Lu Yu’s palm transformed into black flames, engulfing the monstrous ape.

The demon ape roared, wailing in agony as it rolled on the ground.

The remaining fourteen magical beasts, seeing the condition of the demon ape, could easily imagine how powerful Lu Yu’s poison was.

They understand their own abilities best; they can let the poison corrode their bodies into black liquid within ten to twenty seconds. The power of this poison is truly terrifying.

The demon ape died again and again.

Lu Yu did not keep track of exactly how many times the demon ape had died.

If not five hundred times, then at least four hundred times, right?

However, every time the demon ape revived, its expression became even more ferocious, although each revival caused it excruciating pain.

Its hatred for Lu Yu grew increasingly intense, its eyes sharp as knives.

Every time Lu Yu killed a魔人猿, the shock in his heart grew even more astonishing.

Could it really be immortal?

Lu Yu secretly mused, and suddenly his aura changed.

The魔王’s wrath was unleashed.

Lu Yu’s figure shot up, and blue flames surged all over his body.

When the blue flame in Lu Yu’s hand landed on the body of the demon-ape, the demon-ape showed no reaction at all. Instead, it laughed maniacally and sneered, “What is this? How warm, I can’t feel a thing. Human, why don’t you use poison anymore? Have you run out of other abilities and can’t kill me now?”

“You have no soul!” Lu Yu exclaimed in greater astonishment, staring at the demon ape.

Then the blue flame surged violently, sweeping towards the remaining fourteen magical beasts.

The blue flames landed on these magical beasts, but none of the fifteen beasts showed any reaction at all.

Lu Yu fell silent for a moment and then said, “This is separating the soul from the body, using the soul to regenerate the physical form. As long as the soul remains undying, the body will never perish?”

“Human, show me all your abilities.”

A monstrous wolf grinned sinisterly.

“Even the Demon Flame won’t work, then I’ll just use ordinary fire.”

Lu Yu equipped the Fire God’s Wrath. He activated a skill that he hadn’t used in a long time. Flames spread onto the magic wolf’s body, instantly reducing it to ashes.

But each type of ash transformed into flesh and blood, eventually coalescing into a demon wolf unscathed and whole.

Lu Yu’s expression grew even darker.

This is not a good omen.

These lives are essentially immortal; without finding their souls, they cannot be killed.

“Human, you can never kill us all. Give up,” snarled a monstrous ape. “If you’re willing to set us free, we might consider helping you. The army of beasts has never been defeated—it was merely sealed away here.”

“Do you really think it’s possible for me to let you go?” Lu Yu said coldly, “I don’t believe you’re truly immortal. If a thousand doses of poison couldn’t kill you, then I will attack even more times!”

Boom!

Lu Yu’s body erupted with surging flames—blue, red, and black toxic gas intertwining—forming a colossal dragon that engulfed the entire cave.

“Au!”

Fifteen magic beasts suddenly began trembling all over, letting out cries of pain even more agonizing than being corroded by poison.

“It’s a wounded soul,” Lu Yu saw at first glance.

Unlike ordinary injuries, once the soul is wounded, the body can lose control.

Lu Yu had slain many kings with his demonic flame, and was well aware of its devastating power.

“The soul is nearby.” Lu Yu looked around and suddenly spotted the base of the Blood Tower.

The base of the Blood Pagoda was still located deep within the cave. When the demonic flames, fire, and toxic gas had just swept through every corner of the cave, they undoubtedly passed over the Blood Pagoda as well.

Here, besides the Blood Tower, only the altars remain as ancient relics.

This time, the fifteen magical beasts changed color.

They saw Lu Yu looking toward the Blood Tower, and couldn’t help but shudder involuntarily.

A demonic wolf trembled and said, “Human, let’s talk this over. Please don’t act recklessly.”

“You, you don’t really want to kill us. We’re still useful to you.”

“We can help you, as long as you don’t kill us.”

Fifteen magical beasts all began to speak at once, and this time, they were truly terrified.

Lu Yu’s thoughts raced as he turned his head, looking at the altar and then glancing at the Blood Tower. He said, “Fusing one’s soul with the Blood Tower isn’t something you could possibly accomplish. Or perhaps, were you originally part of the Blood Tower itself?”

Fifteen magical beasts fell silent, their eyes filled with deep apprehension towards Lu Yu.

This human is too clever.

“You don’t have to speak—I’ll treat you as enemies and attack the Blood Tower with my demonic flames. I won’t spare your souls. Without souls, do you think your physical bodies can still survive?”

The Demon Wolf hurriedly said, “No, you won’t do that. If we die, the Tower of Bloodbath will become useless…”

The demon wolf suddenly shut its mouth, realizing it had let something slip.

“Exactly as I thought, you are indeed part of the Blood Tower massacre,” Lu Yu laughed loudly. “If you hadn’t spoken up, I still wouldn’t have been able to use this Blood Tower. Tell me, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to take action?”

Vroom!

As Lu Yu spoke, the blue flame in his hand surged up to several zhang high, flickering and dancing violently.

Fifteen magical beasts fell silent, exchanging a final glance with each other.

A demonic wolf spoke, saying, “When the Blood Tower of Slaughter was built, it trapped us inside. We are the energy of the Blood Tower, as well as its combat power.”

“Nonsense!”

Lu Yu said sternly, “Do you really think I don’t know? The Blood Tower of Slaughter is the weapon of the Blood Sovereign of Slaughter, dating back at least to the same era as the Blood Sovereign. You might have lived until this age. If you were truly connected to the Blood Tower of Slaughter, why has there been no trace of you in any era?”

The Demon Wolf said, “This is a secret among the inheritors of carnage. When the Domain of Demons opens, aside from the Ten Great Star Souls, it will be our army of魔 beasts. However—”

The Demon Wolf gritted his teeth in fury, saying, “Damn it! The ruthless Slaughter Soul Master sealed our souls into this tower using cruel methods, using our physical bodies to power the Slaughter Blood Tower in order to fight against the Celestial Annihilation.”

Lu Yu said coldly, “Hmph, I guess you don’t even know how many humans you’ve devoured, which eventually led to the great war with humanity!”

A huge wave surged in Lu Yu’s heart, as no one had ever known the origin of the magical beasts.

He had also received information that the magic beasts also came from the Domain of Unified Magic.

However, receiving acknowledgment from the魔狼 left Lu Yu both surprised.

Just what methods did the Soul Lord of Slaughter employ to seal this army of monstrous beasts inside the Blood Pagoda?

“No matter what you think, the final outcome remains the same! We have lost our freedom and are trapped in this tower, never to die.” The demon wolf coldly said, “Since you’ve discovered it, I’ll tell you. Human, you can control us. But the day we break free from the Blood Tower will be the day your human race is destroyed.”

“That’s something for later. Right now, tell me, how do I use the Blood Tower of Slaughter?”

Lu Yu’s expression was calm, but his heart was bursting with joy.

He came here to find the method to activate the Blood Tower.

No one had expected that by setting up a barrier to seal off the altar, he would end up with such an unexpected gain.
